- “She’s pretty. She’s really pretty.” – Amy [03:09]
- The group asks if she’s prettier than Amy; Amy dodges:
- “I don’t ask myself that.” – Amy [03:21]
- The meeting was cordial, including a hug and group socializing (“everyone was hanging out for a second. We were all just standing in a circle, talking. Ha ha ha.” – Amy [04:43])
- Amy shares her vision of blended-family peace:

- No lingering drama, just curiosity, and adult conversation about blended families.
2. Bobby’s “Celebrity Sighting” Update
– [09:19-10:59]
- Bobby thought he saw country artist Warren Zeiders at a sushi restaurant, but it turned out to be a mistaken identity (“Turns out it was not him. Said he was at the airport, about to hit the road.” – Bobby [09:44])
- Casual riffing about men with ponytails and putting hair through hat holes.
3. Relationship “Mulligans” and Communication

- “Would you like it if you had sports terms for your relationship talk?” – Amy [12:00]
