See, I couldn't do this 'cause I'm a girl's, girl

and he's clearly with her so I just-

[audience groaning]

You missed your opportunity. Clearly?

Do you want one more chance?

Hi I'm Madelyn Cline,

and this is Seek Counsel.

[audience applauds] [upbeat music]

[wheel clicking]

[zany music]

[Madelyn squealing]

Okay.

No, yes ask me next Tuesday.

What's a travel partner red flag I should never ignore?

[Madelyn gasps]

Nap time.

If nap time is not included in travel, red flag.

Oh I completely agree, I think that's great.

I think the whole thing should be nap time.

Yeah. [Madelyn laughs]

Is that the, the name of the movie now?

The Map that Leads to Nap Time.

[KJ] Exactly.

Come on, oh are we doing musical chairs?

Let's go. Okay.

[wheel clicking]

Oh romance.

Press the button. Oh yeah.

[zany music]

[Sofia] Oh... Give it to me.

Come on. Okay.

I want to explore my spontaneous side,

what is a good way to improve that?

I wanna explore my spontaneous side?

Mm hmm you're super spontaneous.

I'm like, I gave this to you.

Ask a stranger where they're going and then go with them.

Yeah.

You know, ask them, can I join?

What are your guys' thoughts on that?

Oh actually I realize that might be a bad idea.

Something about that feels a little dangerous.

I think if you're over 18, that's fine.

That's coming from a man.

But if there's anyone under 18,

I would not take that advice.

Please actually don't take my advice.

That's what I was gonna say, maybe-

Maybe that was not a good idea.

Maybe not the first advice I would take.

Guys, it's an easy answer.

Okay, okay I feel...

Yeah, you were ready.

Throw your calendar away.

[Madison] Oh! Yeah.

Throw your phone away actually too.

Chuck it in the water. [Madelyn laughs]

[Madelyn wavering]

[wheel clicking]

[castmates swooning]

Friendship. Friendship.

[zany music]

What's one nice thing you think I forget about myself?

How should I remind myself?

[castmates swooning]

I think that you forget

about how good of a listener you are.

Thank you.

You should remind yourself of it more

by surrounding yourself with people

who are as good of listeners as you.

Maybe you don't get that back,

so I feel like surrounding yourself

with good listeners is important.

She's feeding my delusion.

Did you mean that?

Yeah. Wow.

From the depths of my heart.

Thanks.

Madison Thompson.

You're up. You're up.

Come on, Madison.

[wheel spinning]

Oh... Romance.

[silly music]

What is the best non-creepy way

to let someone know that you are attracted to them?

Make out with them.

Oh wait, sorry. [castmates laughing]

Already I would say, just be like, Oh I really like you.

Like you're so cute

that you don't need to worry about being creepy.

So like just be forward, like say how I feel?

Be yourself and be forward and do not be scared.

Thank you for that advice.

Okay practice it on me.

[Madelyn laughs]

I have to be forward?

Yeah and don't be scared.

No, no come on, try.

I don't, I don't- I'm not looking at you.

And then get my attention and I'll look at you.

[Madison] What? Okay right.

Hey. Hi.

What's your name?

[censored] My name's KJ. Me I guess.

So what are you doing in Charleston?

Another shot, please?

I'm here for work and I've got a few days off.

See, I couldn't do this 'cause I'm a girl, girl

and he's clearly with her so I just...

You missed your opportunity. Clearly?

Do you want one more chance?

[KJ] I think I'm okay. Okay.

[Madelyn] Was that good?

Wait, was that advice good?

I don't know from that.

What did you think of her advice?

I thought it was good.

I liked it, I liked it a lot.

Okay. [wheel spinning]

[Madison] Romance. Okay, perfect.

[dreamy music]

Oh shoot.

She has a really good track record.

Is ghosting ever a good idea when dating?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Just be honest if you don't like them,

just say, Hey, I just think we're better off as friends,

but I really respect you as a person.

Just leave it there and that's that.

Do you guys think that that's good advice?

Yeah I don't think ghosting is a good idea at all.

[bell chimes] Right.

I'm gonna take devil's advocate on this one

because I think that assumes that the person

might not pick up when you're walking away.

So I feel like sometimes you have to have it

as a last resort if they're not picking up

that things aren't going the right way.

As as a last resort.

That's emergency exit. Yeah.

Should we practice it?

Should we practice it or not?

Yeah let's practice it.

Hey, listen babe.

Hey excuse me. Hi KJ.

Hey I just wanna let you know

that I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with you,

but you know, my heart's not really in the right place

and it's nothing to do with you, you're incredible,

I think it's time for us to go our separate ways.

Thank you for being so honest with me, I accept.

[KJ] Cool. Perfect.

See, that's a perfect example

of how communication is way better than ghosting.

It's like a dating advice show.

I know.

[lively music] [KJ sighs]

[wheel spinning]

[KJ] Oh...

Life. Oh god.

Oh sorry. [zany music]

[Madelyn exclaims] I don't like that,

I knew I was gonna get this one.

If I'm feeling down and need a song to pick me up,

what song would you recommend?

Van Halen, Jump.

[castmates humming]

♪ Go ahead and jump ♪ ♪ Jump ♪

♪ Jump ♪

My suggestion was Hot To Go by Chappell Roan.

♪ H-O-T T-O G-O ♪

♪ You can take ♪

Yes, both are valid. Was it good advice?

I think it was great advice.

Yeah it's a fun song. I liked it.

Okay you're up. I'm all set.

[wheel spinning]

[KJ] Oh... Romance.

Wait... [Madison purrs]

Why am I attracting all this love?

[castmates laughing]

Yay. Uh-oh.

Uh-oh, if I were dating someone that I was really into,

how long should I wait to introduce them to my family?

Immediately to me, dating means you're...

You're not a situationship, you're dating.

Yes, you're official.

So like you know, whenever you want,

as soon as you can, who cares it's your parents.

I am very close with my parents,

they're very involved in my life

and I would want them to meet anyone

that I know, love, and care about.

But it also is situational you know, it depends.

What if you have a child?

If you're a single parent and you have a child,

how long do you wait before they meet your child?

What would you say to that?

I personally would take much longer.

Yeah, you don't just introduce anyone to your children.

No, you do not.

That's a big no, no.

But also your parents are, should be full grown people so-

[Madelyn] True. Right.

I would hope so.

So you know it's one thing but like a child is different.

It's a whole 'nother story.

It's a whole different story.

I feel like that was more for you than that was for me

but I like that this, for all of our futures.

Should we test it out, should we taste it out?

Where is he?

I got a point. Madison Thompson.

[wheel spinning]

Oh romance. Romance.

It's like we're in a romance movie.

[Madelyn] Something. [silly music]

Okay, Sofia? Yes.

How do you deal with a workplace crush

and do you think it should be pursued?

In our industry...

In our industry I think workplace crushes

are a little different but also like isn't there HR thing

about workplace crushes?

Yeah I think like literally in every other industry,

it's like a big no-no. You have to disclose them.

I would say just don't do it

because that makes things messy and we don't need that.

We want business to be business and home to be home.

Let me throw a curve ball at you

[castmates laughing]

because these things are circumstantial.

Yes.

In our industry we get to know people.

Yeah.

We really get close to people, we become intimate.

If you are falling hard

for someone that you're working with,

what do you do to abstain?

You just tell your heart- Don't do it.

Don't do it, tell your girl don't do it.

Discipline, I guess.

Okay. [audience groans]

[castmates chuckling]

Don't do it.

[wheel spinning]

Life. [castmates chuckling]

[zany music]

Oh hell.

I never have time to talk to my therapist, what do I do?

Make time. Oh...

Make time.

I've got too much work, I've got five kids.

I'm cleaning up after them everywhere.

I don't know what to do,

I don't time to talk to my therapist.

Right.

My wife doesn't talk to me anymore.

She's out. Ow.

She's always out, what do I do?

[KJ] I hear you, I hear you. What do I do?

I totally hear you, call a friend, phone a friend.

I don't have any friends.

Is that good advice?

Do you guys have advice?

Make time, absolutely.

Yeah I think we all have 24 hours in a day.

Okay. No?

[Madelyn laughs]

[wheel spinning]

Life, oh... [Madelyn chuckles]

[zany music]

How should I balance my personal life when work is intense?

I'm the worst person to ask about this question.

You get a calendar and you carve out

your personal time for with friends.

I think that's good advice but I won't do it.

Quit your job.

Apparently neither, I can't take my own advice.

I'm really bad at that,

my mom tells me to do the same thing.

That was me telling you my mother's advice.

I got an idea for you.

Right.

Most people work the weekdays.

Right, right.

What are you doing with your weekend?

Sleep, I sleep.

Spend the weekend time with your friends and family.

What if I...

I think that's great advice but what if I work nights?

Okay well, do you want hang out with your friends or not?

I wanna nap.

Why don't you nap with your friends?

She's not equipped.

They gave me this question, I didn't want it.

[cast laughing]

I wanna sleep.

Oh my god, you actually are working nights.

Yeah, we've night shifts.

[censored] [cast laughing]

I've gotta sit down.

[wheel spinning]

That was a strong spin.

[Sofia] Yeah that was good.

Friendship! Friendship.

[zany music]

If I wanted to break up with a friend that I've outgrown,

what would I do? Oh that's easy.

Depending on the circumstance,

I don't know how often you talk to this person.

Let's say they're my best friend.

You give 'em a call, you say,

Hey, I have something on my heart

that I really need to talk to you about.

Are you around this week for a coffee?

Let's meet up on Wednesday at 5:00 PM for a coffee.

Maybe not 5:00 PM 'cause you won't get any sleep.

Cause you're working nights. 12, exactly.

Simply tell them, Look I think that...

I don't think this friendship is working for me anymore.

And they say, Why?

Well, I don't think we have much in common anymore.

And they say, Oh you think you're better than me.

No that's not what I said, are you deaf?

[castmates gasping]

And that by the way,

that is why you're not friends with that person

because of the response that they just said.

Yeah just hold a mirror up to them.

But you-

What if you just showed up to coffee with a mirror?

[cast laughing]

They say, Why?

And you say...

[Sofia] Is that good advice? That's diabolical.

Great. Did I give good advice?

The best. I loved it.

Especially the part where you said the mirror.

That was you. [cast laughing]

If you say so.

I think if someone did that to me,

when I'm thinking of how I want to treat someone,

I think about how it would feel if they treated me that way.

Like would you like that if I said-

No one's gonna like that.

Hey KJ like, Oh I've outgrown you.

And you say, Why?

And then I hold the mirror up to your face.

Are you asking me genuinely?

[Sofia] Yeah if you would like that.

I would be fine with it.

I personally would be fine with it.

[Madelyn] Mom and dad are fighting.

I'd be confused.

Yeah, you'd be confused. I'd be sad.

And you'd probably be like, Oh my gosh, Sofia's so mean.

Not if you said it the way that I said it.

Okay. I loved...

I loved this debate.

Let me just say though, none of these conversations

are an easy conversations to have.

It's true, that is a hard conversation.

Friend breakups are a real thing.

And they're the worst.

And they are the worst, I fear they're more painful.

[Madison] I agree. [wheel spinning]

♪ When I'm back on top ♪

[Sofia] Travel.

[zany music]

[Madelyn groans] I'm scared.

What's your advice for me,

if I was traveling with a group of friends

and everyone's on a different budget?

I think when you're traveling with a group of friends

and you know everyone's on a different budget,

I think things should be discussed beforehand

and what you wanna do together,

where to stay, where to eat, what to do,

how it fits into everyone's budget,

that should all just be laid out on the table beforehand.

Madelyn, I think you gave great advice.

[bell chimes] Thanks.

I think a point to Madelyn.

Yeah I agree. I agree with that advice.

That was so much fun.

Good. That was awesome.

Yeah, good advice. I loved that.

Okay guys, well that's us for today.

We're the cast of The Map That Leads to You,

coming out on Amazon Prime.
