Hen: Eddie, seriously. Book an appointment with an optician

Eddie: What? Why?

Eddie: My eyes work fine

Hen: You're squinting at your phone

Hen: It's less than six inches from your face😐

Eddie: That's normal🙂

Hen: Nope. Try again

Eddie: Seriously, it's fine

Eddie: I've never noticed it, so it's not an issue

Hen: Maybe not now, but in a decade or so it will be 

Eddie: So I'll worry about it then

Hen: Just take my advice, Diaz

Hen: I am a trained medical professional. And also a glasses wearer🧐

Eddie: I'm also a trained medical professional, and I say it's fine

Hen: For god's sake

Eddie: Let's leave God out of this one👍


Henrietta Wilson and Evan Buckley

@15:23

Hen: I need you to do me a favor

Buck: how can i be of service?

Hen: You need to convince Eddie that he can't see

Buck: i need to what?? D:

Hen: Have you noticed he squints at his phone?

Buck: yeah

Buck: oh

Buck: he probably shouldn't be doing that

Hen: No. He shouldn't

Hen: So. Eye doctor. Be subtle. Make it seem like his idea🤗

Hen: Do not fuck this up, Buckley

Buck: aye aye, ma'am!🫡

Buck: on it

Buck: wait am i allowed to finish cooking first

Buck: pasta bake is almost done :)

Hen: Yes

Hen: Just be subtle😒

Buck: of course

Buck: when am i not

Hen: 😬


Howard Han and Henrietta Wilson

@17:09

Chim: Do you have an explanation for whatever this is

Hen: What is 'this'?

Chim: Truthfully. I'm not sure

Chim: Buck keeps going on about eye health and the importance of 'normalizing glasses'🥸

Chim: He's giving Diaz, Panikkar and I a lecture on it

Hen: Oh God

Hen: I told him BE SUBTLE, not HOST A TED TALK

Chim: So you did put him up to it!

Chim: I knew it

Hen: Is it working, at least?

Chim: I'm assuming this has something to do with Diaz, since you decided Buck was the man for the job😂

Hen: ...Yes

Chim: He looks...

Chim: Receptive?🤐

Hen: Eddie's listening?

Chim: Yeah

Chim: I'd say so

Hen: I cannot BELIEVE that Buck's stupid plan actually worked😦

Chim: Never say never, because miracles do happen😎

Hen: Clearly.


Edmundo Diaz and Evan Buckley

@17:48

Eddie: Did Hen put you up to that

Buck: i won't lie to you

Buck: she might have

Buck: but that is NOT the point

Eddie: Mm

Eddie: No, I got the point just fine, Buck

Eddie: Everyone thinks I'm blind as a fucking bat🦇

Buck: great!

Buck: do you want an appointment with the eye doctor for wednesday afternoon, thursday morning or saturday evening?

Eddie: Eye Doctor??😐

Eddie: What happened to the opticians

Buck: c'mon, eddie :(

Buck: appointment. when. 

Eddie: Fine

Eddie: Thursday morning, get it over and done with🥱

Buck: bright and early, that's the spirit :)

Eddie: You're evil, btw

Buck: uhuh

Buck: you can thank me later, when your eyeballs don't pop out of their sockets

Eddie: Well that's not ?

Eddie: That doesn't happen

Buck: not if you visit the eye doctor ;)

Eddie: 🖕

Buck: 🖕

@07:50

Eddie: Opticians

Eddie: Have they changed in the last 2 decades?🤔

Bobby: I wouldn't have thought so - Bobby Nash

Buck: eddie. you'll be fine

Buck: i can come with if you want? :)

Eddie: Nah, don't bother

Eddie: I just wanna know what I'm getting into

Hen: The eye doctors work the same as they always have

Hen: Just. Maybe with some funky new equipment

Eddie: FUNKY?👀

Eddie: What does FUNKY entail?

Hen: Eddie. You'll be fine

Eddie: I know

Eddie: Except you just used the word 'funky' to describe medical equipment so now I'm feeling less fine about the whole thing😨

Ravi: the funky medical equipment can't hurt you, diaz😷🥽

Eddie: That's what you think...

Hen: You'll be fine. Now put on a brave face and go

Buck: i can seriously come with you if you're worried about it, eds

Bobby: I'm sure Eddie will be fine on his own, Buck - Bobby Nash

Eddie: Right

Eddie: Thanks, Cap🫡

Bobby: Go - Bobby Nash

Eddie: Going👍


Henrietta Wilson and Edmundo Diaz

@09:14

Eddie: You were right

Eddie: I'm long-sighted

Eddie: I was sat in that goddamn leather chair feeling very, very stupid🤓

Hen: I'll reserve my 'I told you so' for later, then

Hen: It went well?

Eddie: Yeah, I guess so

Eddie: I just can't believe I didn't know

Hen: Sometimes it's difficult to see what's right in front of you😏😂

Eddie: Hen.🙄

Hen: Sorry🤐

Eddie: I feel like I should have realized I couldn't see though. No?

Hen: I know it was a pun, but it was also a metaphor😗

Hen: And it would have been gradual. It's not like you woke up one morning and couldn't see properly anymore

Eddie: Yeah. You're right

Hen: So...

Hen: Glasses?

Eddie: Should be here within the next couple of weeks

Eddie: Yay. 

Hen: Yay!😊


Edmundo Diaz and Evan Buckley

@09:16

Buck: glasses when?

Eddie: Within the next few weeks🥸

Buck: yay! :D

Eddie: That's what Hen said

Buck: YAY!

Buck: uh

Buck: ...feel. things?

Karen: i don't understand what you're asking

Karen: also Hen always has her glasses on? unless we're in bed😴

Karen: but i'm not going to speak with you about that

Buck: and i do not want you to 

Buck: no but... i don't know

Buck: when she gets new glasses do you just want to. squish her

Buck: or something

Karen: oh my god🤣

Karen: Buck if this is about Eddie i swear 

Buck: i'm freaking out, karen!!

Buck: he's so fucking cute!!

Buck: he pushed them back up his nose earlier and i think i almost had an aneurism :/


Henrietta Wilson and Evan Buckley

@21:53

Hen: That's gross😶

Buck: seriously

Buck: what's a man gotta do to earn a little privacy around here

Hen: Stop texting my wife while I'm in bed with her

Buck: it's not even 10pm

Hen: We're old. Live a little😀

Buck: i'm trying!!


Evan Buckley and Karen Wilson

@21:55

Karen: that was unexpectedly deep😕

Buck: i'm putting a lot on the line here

Hen: This changes things, Buck

Buck: i'm not that oblivious, sheesh :(

Hen: Karen just started laughing at you


Evan Buckley and Karen Wilson

@21:57

Karen: you ARE that oblivious 


Henrietta Wilson and Evan Buckley

Buck: karen how did you bag hen??

Hen: She did not 'bag' me😤

Buck: you're married. i don't have time for technicalities

Buck: WHAT DO I DO??

Henrietta Wilson and Edmundo Diaz

Eddie: What? No.

Hen: Edmundo Diaz

Hen: Have I ever led you astray before?

Henrietta Wilson and Karen Wilson

@22:01

Karen: well. that's our good karma for the next year, then

Henrietta Wilson and Edmundo Diaz

@02:37

Hen: That's exactly what I'm trying to do😴

Eddie: ...apologies

Eddie: I got excited😇

Eddie Diaz and Evan Buckley

@16:27

Buck: you look so cute with your glasses on :)

Buck: urgh

Buck: wanna bite your nose

Eddie: Is that a compliment or? 

Buck: definitely a compliment, believe me

Eddie: I'll take your word for it💕

Eddie: Did you know you have a tiny, miniscule little freckle below your mouth?

Buck: uh. no

Buck: i did not😗

Eddie: I did 

Eddie: Because I can see it now

Eddie: I can see you🥰

Buck: i know, baby

Buck: i'm very happy for you

Eddie: 👍

Buck: WHY. why

Buck: we were having a moment, eds

Buck: why the dastardly thumb?? :(

Eddie: I didn't know what else to put😐

Buck: you are so lucky you're cute

Eddie: I'm so lucky I can now see the entire visible spectrum

Eddie: It looks good on you😉

Buck: you're long-sighted, not colour blind

Buck: it's not the visible spectrum that's the problem, it's your lens 

Buck: the light doesn't focus on the retina as it should

Eddie: That was not the point

Eddie: We were having a moment, Buck. And you ruined it. With talk about my eye lens and retina😄 

Buck: eye lenses are very sexy, don't you think?

Eddie: No

Buck: that's unfortunate 

Eddie: Indeed😬

Chim: Unbelievable, Cap

Chim: So... Jee cursed for the first time today

Maddie: Please don't bring it up again

Eddie: What did she say? 

Chim: She dropped her stuffie in the mud, sighed and said 'oh shit'

Chim: We're blaming Uncle Buck for that one😤

Buck: i plead not guilty :(
