0:00.0	Welcome to We can do hard things.
0:14.8	Well, today, love bugs, we have the second installment of the newlywed game. The newlywedish game.
0:27.3	Yes. Abby's in the hot seat today. H-O-T-T-S-E-A-T. And I'm going to be asking her questions about you, but on Tuesday we did me asking you questions about her.
0:42.2	Okay. And I know that you're wanting this to be a competition, Abby, because you want everything to be a
0:47.0	competition. So to that end, I will remind you that I did really, really well. I think I got them all right.
0:56.1	I mean, to be clear,
1:00.5	I don't feel like it's just you doing really well because you answered the questions and then she answered. So I think you all did very well together, right? Well, I would suggest that
1:07.9	the onus was upon me to guess what she would say about herself. All her responsibility was
1:15.5	to respond authentically in her own feelings. Right. Which I consider an accomplishment to respond
1:24.1	authentically in your own feelings. So I also say brava to Abby. Actually, that's true.

1:51.4	So those points will go to Glennon and how it goes today.
1:55.5	Those points will all go to me.
1:58.1	Okay.
1:58.7	Great.
1:59.3	Well, let the competition begin. So you, sister, have to leave. Okay. Great. Well. Let the competition begin. So you, sister, have to leave. Okay. Bye. Tell me twice. Get out of here. Don't cheat. Cheaters never win, except for most of the time. Can you actually text me where you're sitting? I'm just going to sit outside on the stairs. Oh, no, no. You got to go away. You can hear it.
2:18.0	Yes, I went all the way upstairs in our bedroom and sat on the couch.
2:22.2	And text me a picture of yourself when you get there.
2:24.9	You want her to verify that she's there?
2:27.1	She is a cheater.
2:32.1	Even though she says she's not competitive.
