What if you talked about a friend as if they weren’t in the room...

...but they were?

It's a cool, fall evening in McCall, Idaho. Seven of us are seated on a seven-person L-couch in the living room of a house we rented for four days. Seven people are here, but only six are talking. They're all talking about me as if I'm not here.

They're talking about me and they're talking about my business and I'm not saying a word. In fact, I can't. Not for 10 minutes anyway. Those are the rules.

This is the idea behind Unsolicited Advice.
