I can never be friends with somebody who can't be fucking casual. Like, it's no like okay. Yes. We're getting dressed up and we're gonna go to, like, stupid expensive dinners and the the blowouts and the linger. We're looking good. Martinis are flowing. Caviar is on its way. The whole thing. But if you cannot also come to my home in sweatpants, hair and a bun. Okay? No makeup on sit on the couch and just talk some shit. Or even, like, go best, like, a coffee and and do, like, a lake walk and just be casual, like, maybe just looking a little borderline homeless. We're not gonna be friends. I we're never gonna it's called dichotomy. Okay? I need range. Like, I could be one weekend, I could be on a fucking Tier, and then the next weekend, I'm doing all the things I talked about earlier. Okay. We're gonna do champagne and caviar. Like, that's a very real possibility for me. Me. And it just couldn't be me to be friends with somebody. Like, if you need a dress code to exist to even, like, leave your house, never gonna be me. Also, it sounds boring as hell to have to be, like, on all the fucking tier. Best but no.
