Two sides of a phone conversation.
Side 1:
“Oh hey John, yeah my special lady is here. What’s up?”
“That’s horrible, when did you find out?”
“I’m so sorry man, is it chronic? I mean, is it going to be permanent?”
“Oh man I thought they had a cure for that.”
“Failed phase three clinical trials? That’s just terrible.”
“How long have you known?”
“Just found out, were there any signs or warnings to prepare you for this?”
“Got tested on a whim before there were symptoms. That’s a rough way to find out.”
“No, no, I can stay on the line as long as you want.”
“Are you sure? It’s really no problem.”
“Okay, I’m going to tell my wife. You two call us if you need anything. Seriously, our house is always open to you. You know that right?”
“Okay, take care man.”
Side 2:
“Special lady huh? That’s the code phrase for that ridiculous thing from high school. Well you’re going to love this then. Mary’s pregnant!”
“Oh hah hah, you know your wife is probably freaking out right now right?”
“Of course it’s not permanent! She’s due in eight months. Are you seriously going to do this for the whole conversation?”
“Now you’re just being mean.”
“Alright, well, you remember the deal right? You take a video of whoever is listening to you have this conversation when you tell them.”
“Oh just a few minutes. Thanks for asking a real question.”
“Surprisingly not, no morning sickness or anything. She just took a test because we had some that were about to expire.”
“It was pretty sweet actually. Like having Christmas come in the middle of August. Okay, you’ve had your fun. Now go calm down your panicking wife.”
“No no, really, get off the line before she has an aneurism.”
“Now you’re repeating what I say? Okay, I’m hanging up now.”
“It’s been great talking to you dude.”
“Remember, take video
