Eddie.
look, i get wanting your dad to like you and trying to make things work somehow because lol at me right now. but if i'm going to have your back, you have to have mine. and that comes with having my friends' and your friends' backs too. if you're going to be insulting to them in public because you're worried what your family will think, you at least have to get them in on it.
this is basic co-conspirator stuff, eddie. we're really good at it. i don't know why everyone gives us grief about being impulsive and stuff because we're better at keeping secrets than you're giving us any credit for. we keep enough of them. you're the one who needs to catch up. this is salvageable.
because the alternative is losing a bunch of friends so your dad will still like you? doesn't sound great to me.
