“ 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. ” 
 
 *'' 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'' *
