RBM: If I understand you correctly, you think they were having two different conversations. The original conversation was about going to Tristan's (about 6 miles away) and Mark went off on a slightly different angle talking about the end of the road, or the way to Tristan's house (it's a little convoluted, but I know people who make jumps like that). The problem I have is that, in the Red I put in, Mark now says that SHE said the end of the road, and she said no such thing.You're welcome to your opinion. Mine is that whereas ER and Dr P were talking about Tristan's house, MR was talking about the road on the way to Tristan's house, the end of CR500 at CR501, where the mail lady ("she") sighting was.
I'm fine with seeing it differently. It's no big deal.
MR: One of his friends lives up at the lake where I live, and it’s right across from the marina, so it’s not a very far distance for him have…to try to reach out to his friend who lives up at the lake.
Dr. Phil: Okay…
ER: 6 miles
MR: It’s NOT six miles!
ER: It is too far for Dylan, and there was no indica….
MR: It’s not 6 miles from my house to the end of the road.
ER: He would have texted somebody and had somebody come get him.
Dr. Phil: Okay…well, let me… help me out here. See if I have this uhhh correct. (Dr. Phile walks up to screen/map). This is your house, right here.
MR: That’s correct
Dr. Phil: And this is his friends house – uhhh… would this be Tristan’s house here?
MR: That would be T’s
Dr. Phil: This is his friend’s house…

MR: Right in front of the lake…
Dr. Phil: and… we did go to Google maps and that’s 5.9 miles.
ER: Yeaaaahhhhhh
(Sounds like audience laughter)
Dr. Phil: From here to here…
MR: Well, now she said to the end of the road….
Dr. Phil: Well, I don’t know where… about the end of the road
But this is 5.9 miles
From another viewpoint (mine, as it happens), Elaine says it is six miles, Mark says it is not six miles, then he modifies what he says to say that it is not six miles to the end of the road, making him not incorrect. I see it as a back pedal maneuver, again, because in my experience speaking with people who say something, then realize they are completely wrong and do not want to admit it, these people then start to say that someone else said that, when it was really their own words.
