Tim and Ben debate whether full honest apology would have worked better than the botched excuse for missing Dr. Drew, concluding the timing of the 'emergency' email was the fatal flaw.
- Tim admits he screwed up by forgetting an original event date that had been moved to Friday.
- Christine suggested going to the beach and Tim agreed without thinking about the scheduling conflict.
- The Instagram story was already posted, which complicated the situation when the mistake became apparent.
- Tim considers whether honesty—saying he totally forgot—would have been the better move.
- Admitting total forgetfulness would make him look like someone nobody respects.
- Tim concedes that honesty probably was the best policy in this situation.
- He wonders if claiming an emergency might have worked better as an excuse.
