Listen to the full episode

Dave: I have a question.

Reese: Every time you say that, I know it's going to end badly.

Dave: Would you save your friend from a grizzly bear if it meant it rained on you for the rest of your life?

Reese: Which friend?

Dave: See? You already broke the question.

Reese: I didn't break it. You gave me incomplete information.

Dave: It doesn't matter which friend.

Reese: It absolutely matters. Some of my friends could beat up a bear.

Dave: That's...

No.

That's not the point.

Reese: I think Jen would win.

Dave: Against a grizzly bear?

Reese: I wouldn't bet against her.

Dave: You know what I think is funny?

Reese: That you thought this was a simple question?

Dave: No.

I was trying to figure out if I'd sacrifice something for somebody I love.

Reese: And I was trying to keep my friends alive.

Dave: We answered two completely different questions.

Reese: Exactly.

Dave: Maybe that's why these conversations are fun.

Reese: Because nobody's actually talking about the bear.

Dave: Right.

Reese: They're talking about themselves.

Dave: Huh.

I hadn't thought of that.

Reese: I know.

You were too busy standing in the rain.
