In this brief podcast excerpt, Speaker A asks whether they are being an asshole for choosing to prioritize work over attending their best friend's wedding. Speaker B pushes back, arguing that missing such an important event is only acceptable if the work is exceptionally lucrative or if the wedding includes extravagant attractions like a Snoop Dogg cameo or an Adele performance. The exchange highlights the tension between professional obligations and personal relationships, and uses hyperbolic cultural references to question the justification for skipping a close friend's milestone.
