they compare us to people in our own age group. >> that's where it really got ugly. >> with our own skin types. >> i am so in a funk after that. >> i actually think you ended up doing quite well. i'm not going to give anything away. but much of the sun you've been in your entire life -- >> that's not my problem. don't reveal my problem, but that's not it. don't. don't. >> you know who else has problems? we love our phil galanes. he writes the social cues section in the "new york times". somebody wrote in and said did you make plans with a girlfriend? this is probably what has happened to a lot of people. it's happened to me. >> to me, too. >> it's one of those deals with kathie lee and i are friends, and then my other friend is bobbie, so i introduce bobbie and kathie lee. >> we love each other. >> then two days later i hear from somebody, oh, i heard bobby and kathie lee were having lunch. that's unusual because i introduced them. they call it friend jumping where you exclude the introducer

and then the other two are bonding, they're going on vacations, they're sharing your secrets. >> in other words, you've been dumped for another friend. some people do it because they have a connect. some people do it for like a social reason. they like social climbing. i introduce you -- you introduce me to someone very fancy, and then i become friends with your fancy friend. >> it has never bothered me, but a friend who has been introduced -- it bothers another friend. >> i could see where it would hurt your feelings a little. >> you don't own people, people. let everybody live their life and be happy for -- that they like someone more than they like you. >> this is a problem, you guys, that's been going on through the ages. >> what does phil say? >> this is what lucy -- you got to watch. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> lucy, i think you're jealous. >> jealous? ha! >> you're acting jealous. >> not in the least. look, if a person brings their two best friends together so that they can become friends and those two friends become friends
