Text coming in from Francine in St. Pete.

Talking about something we talked about on the show the other day.

Coming up with excuses to get out of plans.

Coming up with ways to say no to people inviting you places. Let's go talk to Francine. See what this is all about. Francine. So Friday night, you have plans with a friend. You want to get out of them. Is that what you're saying? Hi, guys. Good morning. Yes. I'm trying to get out of them. I just, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say. I've been just thinking about it like the past few days and just dwelling on it are you the only one going or there are there other people there well we're meeting other people that she knows that I don't know but we're supposed to be going to the hard rock in Tampa um at like 530 which is like traffic time and I'm like oh it's gonna suck driving there and then it's my payday week it's not

hers so I'm pretty much gonna have to pay for everything wow and okay which sounds mean I'm sorry

no no not mean at all no that's realistic so you're thinking she'll be fine without me because

she has friends that will be there for her right I mean right yeah but I just feel bad if she asked me like a few weeks ago

and it was kind of like, I don't know. I just, I don't know. I feel guilty. Okay, I can see that. Any thoughts here? What do you think, Guy? I think you have a lot of valid reasons to not want to go and you shouldn't feel guilty and you should find a way to just nope your way out of there.

So she has to lie, in other words.

You just make up like a big, I can't go because of the arm that's lingering by attendant. Yeah, because I think if she just does the, I can't make it thing right now, I don't think that's going to go over very well since it's been planned and there's other people who are who are going to be there I think you have to make something up yeah it has to don't go has to be

an emergency situation I think at this point because I thought about that too about like saying I'm going to be I'm sick or whatever but I feel like she will know I'm lying plus you don't want to jinx yourself no sickness and no death in the family.

Yeah, stuff like that as a jinx.

Flat tire.

Is there a flat tire?

It's not until Friday, but you have yourself. No sickness and no death in the family. Stuff like that is a genius. Flat tire.

Is there a flat tire?

It's not until Friday, but you have to do it now.

I don't know.

Could you do like a, rather than a full out fib, is there like a hybrid we could go with?

Some things come up and I just unfortunately can't make it. So nothing came up, but you don't have to say what it is. I got it. I got it. Well, I'm still asking about this one. So, oh, go ahead, Nate. What do you have? All right, I got it. You say that day, oh my God, I had the worst omen that something bad is going to happen if I drive. I'm not coming. You can't refute that. Yeah, because that if something does happen, she'll feel terrible. And she'll feel terrible if something does happen. And the entire time she's thinking that if something does happen, she's going to be the one that's at fault because she's the one that made the plans.
