Snide Extra: Eric & Charlotte   Hee hee!  Snidely Twitlash here.  Know what I heard? On the May 18, 2017, edition of their podcast “Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider,” Jeff and Eric traveled back in time to revisit the movies of 25 years before, when they were in high school.   Eric D. Snider:  May 15th was the weekend then. Jeff Bayer:  1992.  I was still 15, hadn’t turned 16 yet. So what grade were you?  You were a sophomore? Yep. All right, I was a senior.   I looked in my journal; I didn’t see any movies this weekend.  But as it happens, this was the weekend when I broke up with my girlfriend.  The one girlfriend I’ve had in my life, Charlotte.  She and I — this weekend was where it was ending.  Yeah.  Pretty significant event.  I mean, it was doomed anyway. Why?  Because you’re Mormon? (Laughter)  It was more the gay that got me out of it. Ohh. Although I was genuinely attracted to her.  Anyway, it was not working out, and we had sort of gotten tired of each other. Now hang on a second.  You’re not getting off the hook that easy.  You did not give any detail whatsoever of how the breakup happened. Well, we had sort of been ... it had lost its luster, and we had decided a couple of weeks before this that maybe we should just not hang out as much, because we were getting tired of each other. Now wait, wait, wait.  You keep saying “we” like it was a magical thing, that you both said it at the same time. We discussed it.  We both were feeling the same way:  that it was getting old. It sounds a little like Seinfeld.  “It was the perfect breakup.”  You’ve only had one girlfriend, and then you had the perfect breakup. I don’t know what to tell you.  I guess it went about as well as breakups can go.  Yeah, because we both realized it was ending, it was fizzling. Did either of you at the time suspect that you were gay? I mean, I knew that I was, but I wasn’t really ...  I was taking my interactions with Charlotte to be a strong indicator that perhaps I was mistaken. Oh, okay. That maybe I wasn’t ... you know, there were some other options.   But then I think I wrote in my journal that I realized, I kind of really don’t like her any more.  So over the weekend we were going to hang out, and then we didn’t because I didn’t feel like it, I just didn’t want to....  Oh, that’s right, because her — we wanted to go to the movies but her parents said we couldn’t go to the movies but I could come over and hang out at her house.  And that did not sound appealing at all. So instead ... if you just would had gone to a movie, maybe you guys would be married with eight kids. Maybe so.  But so we didn’t hang out, and I went and hung out with my friend Aaron instead, and then Monday at school, before school, broke up with her officially, and she concurred, and it was an amiable parting. Shook hands and parted ways. Yeah, and we continued to be friendly to each other after that.  But we were in drama together. By the way, I didn’t mean to downplay it.  I didn’t mean eight kids.  I meant like a dozen or whatever. Yeah.  Who knows what would have happened if her parents had let us go to the movies that night? To return for more snide tweets, click me!
