Not really the same thing.
But I once ran a group (I’m forever DM) for a friend. He wasn’t an experienced player, but his girlfriend and their boyfriend were. It would have been a total fail if the boyfriend’s sister hadn’t been in the group too.
The sister was the only one that didn’t try to make it all about the threesome in game.
The trio would dive into some kind of circle jerk where their characters were basically flirting with each other constantly. I’d end up telling them to get back to the actual game, or I was going home and they could do their own little thing without me, since there was no point to a DM for what they were doing. The sister agreed, and started making them not sit next to each other on the couch lol.
I wasn’t mad, btw. Mildly annoyed at most. But, don’t ask me to cook up an adventure, spend time rolling up characters, and drive to your house if all you want is an audience for role-play foreplay lol.

Edit: reread, still confused. Who’s girlfriend, boyfriend, sister, brother, and greenhorn in this party?
At this table you have:
-DM (OP)
-Player 1 (DM’s friend, inexperienced)
-Player 2 (P1’s gf, experienced)
-Player 3 (P1 and P2’s bf - it’s a polycule, experienced)
-Player 4 (P3’s sister)
Thanks that seemed like one of those five houses logic puzzles until started sounding like a house of dragons logic puzzle.
That’s the DM’s wife.
In our group everyone brings snacks. Then we have way too many snacks. We store snacks and they last for another session or two. Then one session we are out and noone brought snacks so we run without snacks. The next time everyone brings snacks and we have too many again. Rinse and repeat.
We call it the ebb and flow of the RPG snackage.
In our group everyone always brings snacks.
And beer.
Hey is that from an OSP video I somehow haven’t seen?
