So we are about to start texting Christie's friend here for Christie.

They had a 30th birthday party for a friend.

Christie's friends like, oh, you know, well, we can't do it in my place.

Let's just go ahead and do it at your place and be so much better.

So they did it over to Christie's place and it got trash.

There was raining heavy outside.

So all sorts of dirt was brought in.

One of the banisters was all busted or stains now on the couch.

So she wants our help hitting the friend up to go, hey, it was kind of your suggestion

to do this over at my place.

So can you help me with the damages?

Okay.

So we could go in and just be like, hey, this is what the cost of the party is or we

could go in and say, since you and I hosted this party together and I hosted it at my house,

I really appreciate if you could chip in and help with the cleaning fees I'm going to

have to incur.

Is that a softer ask?

Yeah.

Here's the second one.

Okay.

All right.

So, hey, had a blast.
