What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA matchmaking CEO says women and men can never truly be friends, and she lists warning signs for an emotional affair, Fox News reports.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy take is that the expert is right and it's good news.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorPrivate jokes, secret routines, a channel that leaves your partner out: that's just a friendship with inside jokes, which is what most of us have.

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNOT. Those are the warning signs she listed, and also what a friendship is.

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHot take. She says outside suspicion is a sign too, when friends and family assume you're a couple. So your mum's opinion is now evidence.

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorYour mum is the prosecution.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHOT. Mums have been convicting people on less since the beginning of time.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou called mine NOT and his HOT? Mine had a brunch in it, Hank.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYours defended the thing she's accusing. His at least has a witness.

10. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHe's right, Vera. A private joke about the brunch is the first piece of paperwork.

11. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLast take, and it's a spicy one.

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBy her list, a thirty-year friendship with a woman I see every Thursday is an affair, so I'm calling her husband to apologize.
