22
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 1: Of course.

23
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: Well, I really wanted to go on like a road

24
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: trip to visit some old friends and just kind of

25
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 2: like get out of town.

26
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 3: Okay, who are you going on the road trip with

27
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: just myself? Oh? That's awesome, really fun.

28
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: The only problem is I don't actually have a car.

29
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 3: Oh so that puts a damper on the road trip there,

30
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 3: Yeah a long walk? Yeah? Are you gonna hitchhike? What's

31
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: your plan? Well?

32
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: I thought about renting a car, but it was really expensive. Yeah,

33
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 2: so I thought, okay, well I'll see if I can

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 2: maybe borrow a car or something like.

35
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: It's out of some lot just like hot wire one

36
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: that's called saft or borrowing.

37
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: I thought I could like ask a friend, but like

38
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: none of them were game. But I got my mom

39
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: to let me borrow her car and I could borrow

40
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: the car for a week.

41
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: That's really nice.

42
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's so sweet.

43
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: Okay, so have you wait? Have you already done the

44
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: week long road trip with your mom's car or is

45
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 3: it coming up?

46
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: Yes? I have done it. I'm at my destination. And

47
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: like the road trip itself was great. It was fine,

48
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: there was no issues, no mechanical issues, had a great playlist.

49
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 1: I was just like, damming, it's not a good road

50
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: trip unless there's a good playlist.

51
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with her, but I feel like we're leading

52
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 3: to something where it went back.

53
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: There's a butt coming, there's a butt.

54
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: Okay.

55
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: When I finally got here, I actually got into a

56
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: little bit of a big fender bender.

57
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I.

58
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: Don't know if you realize that, but we have our

59
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 3: resident expert a little big fender benders. Her name's Alexis

00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 3: talk to me about hitting cars.

61
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: So what's the situation.

62
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: So the situation is that I thought, oh my god,

63
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: this is horrible. But at least it's not like total

64
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: It's just a fender. Okay, So I'll take it into

65
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: the mechanic and see, you know, maybe I can just

66
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: get this fixed and she won't even know. Well I

67
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: took it in. It's going to be like one thousand

68
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 2: dollars to fix the fender.

69
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 3: You can't take a car into a mechanic with that

70
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: swimming in a grand really yeah totally. Oh so wait,

71
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: are you in said city stranded?

72
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: Now? Well, I mean not stranded. The car works, but

73
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: I obviously can't bring that back to my mom.

74
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: This is just how I found it.

75
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: Mom, was the fender bender your fault?

76
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 2: It wasn't not my fault.

77
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So why do you need our help with texting.

78
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: Then Okay, well I don't have a thousand dollars and

79
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: I don't want to call like the only person I

80
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: know how to ask for money my mom and ask

81
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: her for a thousand dollars. But if I call her,

82
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: she's going to hear it in my voice. We're super close,

83
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: She's going to know something's wrong.

84
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, because that's super sketchy to randomly ask for one

85
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: thousand dollars while on a road trip and borrowing your

86
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: mom's car. No, but Mom's no. I backed into my

87
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: mom's car and the second I saw her, she literally

88
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: looked at me and was like, you hit my card

89
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: and she knew her mom in steac.

90
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: Are you calling to ask brook for a thousand dollars?

91
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: I mean, are you going to just tell your mom

92
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: about it? Or you don't want to tell her why?

93
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to tell her. I just want to

94
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: get it fixed that she doesn't have to deal with it,

95
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: and then I'll figure out a way to pay her back.

96
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: But I don't want her to not trust me with

97
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: her car ever. Again.

98
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: Okay, so you want to text your mom, I need

99
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: you to send me a thousand dollars, but you don't

100
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: want to tell her the real reason why exactly?

101
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 3: That is a lot.

102
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: That is a.

103
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: Lot, Alexis. I mean, you have experience in backing into cars,

104
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: and I'm assuming and asking your parents for a lot

105
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: of money and not telling them the honest reason.

106
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: Why have you ever asked for a thousand dollars? I

107
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 3: haven't asked for that much money. But it's never your fault.

108
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 3: Just remember that.

109
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, you are the victim. No, I actually like

110
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: where she's going. If you're going to say you're in need,

111
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: it has to be because the circumstances beyond you.

112
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: You can't say that to a mom. It'll freak her out.

113
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 3: Your mom will think that you're like being held hostage,

114
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,119
Speaker 3: but like, but you'll get money. You'll get the money.

115
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: So you're saying he's going to bring more questions.

116
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: Saying in a text message like I'm holding your daughter

117
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: ransom for one thousand dollars, I will give her back.

118
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: I like this.

119
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 3: I think you need to like do some sort of

120
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: like fake investment thing, like I found the apartment of

121
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 3: my dreams. I want to move here, but I need

122
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 3: one thousand dollars.

123
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: I think before we even start to ask for money. First,

124
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: we need to start small and butter mom up a

125
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: little bit. Maybe that should be the first text where

126
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: we're saying some really nice things before we ask for

127
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: a grand.

128
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: Like about how much fun you're having and it's all

00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: I miss you.

132
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's so sweet. I think, like, send her a

00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: really wholesome photo of me and my friend, you know,

134
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: on the back of the car where she can't see

135
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 2: the front of them.

136
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: Sure, okay, yeah, that's good. What about like I can't

00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean that feels like a good, buttered up text.

162
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 3: Genuine I think you send that Daughter of the Year.

163
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 2: Okay, should I send it right now? Okay?

164
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 3: Oh my god, this there's no way we can get

165
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: this to work.

166
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. Ye, we'll see. We're gonna play a song.

167
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: We'll come back, and we'll see if mom responded to

168
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: the meatball text. All right, we'll continue textual healing right

169
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: after this. If you're just tuning in, we're in the

170
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: middle of textual healing with a girl named Becca who

171
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: needs our help asking her mother for one thousand dollars

172
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: after she crashed her mom's car during a road trip. Now,

173
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: Becca doesn't want to tell her mom what the money

174
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: is really for, which is interesting because most people who

175
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: email us for this segment are asking for genuine help,

176
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: and instead will offer them a lie to get out

177
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: of it, but today Becca's asking us for a great lie.

178
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: We can do this, so you've honestly come to the

179
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: right place. And the first text that Becca sent I

180
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: don't remember exactly what it said, but it was something

181
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: along the lines of, Mom, I'm having so much fun,

182
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: I miss you. I can't wait to come home soon

183
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: and eat your meatballs. Ye to try and butter her

184
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: up a little bit. She has famous meatballs that she cooks.

185
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: By the way.

186
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: That text, no, apparently that's a dish that she's really

187
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: good at cooking, And so we sent that out a

188
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: few minutes ago. Becca has your mom? Responded, Yes, she has.

189
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,559
Speaker 3: Oh my god, what did she writ back?

190
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: Okay, it's pretty basic, but she wrote, miss you too,

191
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: sweety going to store for meatballs, and then she put

192
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: the little kissy emoji.

193
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: Oh my god, your mom is so much sweeter than mine.

194
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: Mine would right back, what did you do? You know,

195
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 3: like she would just see through it all.

196
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: She won?

197
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 3: What did you do?

198
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 2: All?

199
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: Right? So mom, it seems like mom is buttered up

200
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: and on board. Now now it's time to start asking

201
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: her for money. And how do we do?

202
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 3: They jumped straight to it.

203
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: Well, wet, we only have so much time. In this segment,

204
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: we've got to go kind of quickly, what do you

205
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: What are we going to say? I mean, there's a

206
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: lot of different ways we could go about this, alexis

207
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: this is your area of expertise?

208
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 3: I mean I would probably say it was for something

209
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 3: basic like I founding really cute shopping and you know,

210
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 3: I'll reimburse you in the future.

211
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: I what a thousand dollars shopping item could we ask

212
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 1: for that Mom would be on board with, though, that's

213
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: I don't know how how she would say yes to that, Becca,

214
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 1: Is there anything you honestly need that might cost a

215
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: lot of money coming up soon?

216
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: The only thing I can really think of is like,

217
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: I really need like a new laptop, But I don't

218
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: I really need that.

219
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: You also really need a car because you're borrowing your mother's.

220
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, say she already has the car in her mom's eyes,

221
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: Heym'm going to buy a second car while I'm here. Yeah,

222
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: a laptop is interesting, though, could you ask her for

223
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: money to buy a new laptop? And think about this?

224
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: Laptops like they're really expensive, ones are way more than that.

225
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: So if you're only asking for a thousand for a laptop,

226
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: you're like, Mom, this is a.

227
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 3: Discount laptop, and you know what, moms love discounts. A

228
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 3: good deal.

229
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 2: Yeah okay, okay, yeah, good.

230
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,359
Speaker 1: Maybe we're onto something here, okay.

231
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah okay, Like she knows that my laptop has been

232
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: acting up, so just say.

233
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 3: Hey, I found a crazy deal on a laptop here.

234
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 3: Can I borrow one thousand dollars so I can buy it?

235
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: I think when you ask for a specific amount to

236
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: it makes it seem more legitimate. Yeah, instead of this,

237
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: I need a random amount of money.

238
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 3: You could go with nine and ninety nine dollars because

239
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: that's how laptops are always prised.

240
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, hey, mom, found a crazy deal on

241
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: a laptop here. I can't believe it. Exclamation points, She

242
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: loved that commation points. Can I borrow one k? And

243
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: then my leaf you know, the one was like the

244
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 2: cheap Yeah yeah, yeah okay, and.

245
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: You said one k visually better than.

246
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 3: You don't get a new laptop for at least three years.

247
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: I say we send it, okay. I mean, the reason

248
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: why I don't feel horrible about this is because it's

249
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: not a total lie.

250
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 3: It is it's not a lie.

251
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: She really does need a laptop.

252
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,599
Speaker 3: You know, I understand before I was a mother, I

253
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 3: would be all four line to my mother, But now

254
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: that I have one, I am like upset by this.

255
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 3: We are Brooks, so we're fine.

256
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: Then we're not the morality police here. We're trying to

257
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: help someone that asks for help. What Mom say?

258
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, she said, Wow, one K is a lot.

259
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: Are you sure they don't have a less expensive model?

260
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: Can you use a coupon?

261
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 3: Just say, just say that is with the coupon.

262
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: Mom, normally this is a five hundred dollars.

263
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 3: You give her big numbers and tell her that it's

264
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 3: the graphics package that you need for whatever class you're

Speaker 3: taking right now.

266
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: Likes packages. Thirty seconds ago, Brooke was completely against li.

267
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: Now she's a pro at ridiculous.

268
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,640

Speaker 3: Is turning out to be easier than I expected.

276
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: I know, why is lying so easy?

277
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 2: See?

278
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: You want to text my mom for a laptop now

279
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: makes me thinel like we should have asked for a

280
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: little bit more money.

281
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: No, I mean gives some food on the way.

282
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Your.

283
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: Whole life that she's already financed.

284
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: A thousand dollars going to be a pretty cheap computers standards.

285
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: If you were honest and you brought the car back

286
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 3: to your mom, your mom could use her insurance and

287
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 3: not pay.

288
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: That's okay, she wrote back, She o backy, okay, okay,

289
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 2: so she wrote, all I have is five hundred dollars

290
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: I've been saving. Dad doesn't know about it. I can

291
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: wire if you promise not to tell him.

292
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 3: Oh, now you're going to be causing marital problem between.

293
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 2: Your Well, my parents are actually divorced, so it's not

294
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 2: going to like cause marital problems are already separated.

295
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, taking money for each other the dad's business.

296
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 3: So much money mom has.

297
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: Actually we'll hold on a second.

298
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,599
Speaker 3: Wait, should we be texting the dad instead? Is that

299
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 3: what you're thinking?

300
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,479
Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking. If dad and mom aren't communicating

301
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: about their finances, maybe you take the five hundred dollars

302
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: that mom's willing to give you, and maybe we get

303
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: the other five hundred from Dad and.

304
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: Then you say, okay, Mom, that works great, I'll just

305
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 3: ask Dad to make up the difference.

306
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: No, don't tell him. Don't tell mom in a thousand

307
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: from Dad, just have him separately.

308
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 3: Don't tell them, just playing them.

309
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: We're playing both of them exactly.

310
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: One of the purpose of this.

311
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: It's not my I mean, I don't get to choose

312
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: to do that, beca. You have to be the one

313
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: that signs off on that.

314
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm definitely his favorite. So there's a chance. I mean,

315
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: I could text him. I could text him and see.

316
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 3: This is what my divorced parents is like. You have too, Well,
