1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: This is John, this is Sam, your og Okay Storytime

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: podcast hosts. We have some spectacular stories coming up, but

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: real quick, we get a two minute break from our

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: lovely sponsors keeping this ship sailing.

5
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: My roommate is keeping an illegal pet at our apartments?

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 3: Is it a lion, a tiger or a bear? Oh my?

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 2: I currently live in a three bedroom apartment which I

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: share with two roommates. We're all twenties female I found online.

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 2: Our live in relationship together has been difficult, to say

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: the least, and I'm mostly just biding my time until

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: my lease is over and I can move out.

12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're living with just strangers.

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I cannot afford to break the lease. By the way,

14
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: this comes from snails or gross And if you want

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: to spent your own stories, go to the r slash

16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: Okay Storytime subured it.

17
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 4: I'm Sophia, I'm Dakota, I'm Keon, and we're here to.

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: Give good advice. Goofully. But we don't have all the answers.

19
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: We just cough sometimes sometimes. But maybe you have the

20
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: answers and don't cough sometimes, so let us know. Oh Pie,

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: says one roommate who I will call Mildred has caused

22
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 2: the most trouble be it through just overtly passive aggressive

23
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: battle tactics, physically manhandling my pet rabbit resulting in a

24
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 2: three hundred dollars bit bill which she did not pay

25
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: a scent of what, or throwing parties without giving me

26
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: a lick of notice. I have rabbit. She has two cats,

27
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: Our third roommate has a dog than you got a

28
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: whole freaking.

29
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 4: Call it an animal house, Yeah it is.

30
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 3: It's a zoo in there.

31
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: She Mildred is not great at feeding her cats, and

32
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 2: they are rather food aggressive. As a result, they've frequently

33
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 2: started fights with our third roommate's dog in order to

34
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 2: get his food. I'm an animal lover, but I really

35
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: do feel like our apartment has reached its limit on

36
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: new animal pals. Unfortunately, it does not seem as if

37
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: Mildred feels the same way. She has recently ordered a

38
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: pet giant African land snail off of the Internet.

39
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: Now that what I'm looking is not what I expected.

40
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: I am looking this what I know what that is?

41
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: And it's the largest snail on earth.

42
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: She ordered a giant snail.

43
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like the size of like you know, like

44
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: the size of your head.

45
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 4: What.

46
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's enormous.

47
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: I don't actually know how she got it here. They're

48
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 2: illegal in the US. How did it get through customs?

49
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 2: But she managed to get it here? What who is Mildred?

50
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 3: Is that this snail smuggler? Huge is the name of

51
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 3: someone who would smuggle a snail.

52
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest. Ope, you now have the unique

53
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: opportunity to very easily get her out of your house.

54
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 3: But think about the snail.

55
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: That's true.

56
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: This snail won't have anywhere to live except this shell.

57
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 3: No take it. This snail has a shell.

58
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: They wouldn't just kill it.

59
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 3: Snails can't be homeless.

60
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: I didn't actually know about it for the first few months.

61
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: We work on opposite schedules. I can often go weeks

62
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: at a time without seeing her. But last week it

63
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: just appeared in our living room.

64
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 3: Could you just running around wild?

65
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: Well, it's not running, it's quite slow. I'm sorry. Snail

66
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: just showed Like imagine you come.

67
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 4: Home, it's running around.

68
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: You come home to your apartment, there's just a snail,

69
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: a giant snail size of a soccer ball.

70
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll show you a picture in a second.

71
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: I would think I was asleep.

72
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mildred has decided that her snail takes up too

73
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,839
Speaker 2: much space in her room and as instead moved its

74
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: tank to the living room. She did this without consulting

75
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: me and asking if this was okay, which I think

76
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: is a sign of blatant disrespect. I don't want a

77
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: snail living in my living room, and I would have

78
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 2: appreciated it if I had been asked about it. There's

79
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: the added issue of the fact that it's an illegal animal.

80
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: My boyfriend is getting his master's in ecology and biology

81
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: with a focus on invasive species, so you can imagine

82
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: how frilled he is about this invasive, illegal snail staring

83
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: at us while we try and watch nets.

84
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: Just a guy, Come on, that's huge, that's huge. I

85
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: just don't let it get out. How hard is it

86
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: that pays taxes?

87
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me?

88
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: Now? What you do? Want to make sure If your

89
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: roommate got a bunch of apple snails, that would be

90
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: a big deal, and you should crush all of them.

91
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: Apple snails aderrifically invasive creatures.

92
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 4: Are those the bad guys?

93
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: Yeah? And if you see their eggs you should also

94
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: smush them.

95
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 4: Why do you know so much about snails.

96
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 3: Those are the two snails I know the most about.

97
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: Then we've reached there.

98
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 4: We know more about snails than both and I combined.

99
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, they also have both sets of fun bits. Why

100
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: do you know that? Yeah, they basically they may they

101
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 3: like use like a missile and.

102
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 4: It like thirty two inches per second. Is that's how

103
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 4: fast that snail moves per second.

104
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 2: That's insane. Probably thirty two inches per I would be like.

105
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: I don't think very fast.

106
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 4: That's faster than Dakota.

107
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: That's where that's like almost three feet per second.

108
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: That's impossibly fast.

109
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 3: That is that would be like walking a slow walking pace.

110
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 2: He also voiced concerns about the fact that snails often

111
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: carry parasites, such as ones that can cause meningitis, and

112
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: is worried that one of the furry friends in the

113
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: house may catch one of the parasites and pass it around.

114
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: One of her cats likes to sleep in my bed.

115
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to hang out at my place anymore,

116
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 2: and has offered his home as a safe refuge for

117
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: the bunny until my lease runds out in April. Regardless,

118
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: I think I'm going to take him up on this

119
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: because As I said before, Mildred is not gentle with

120
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: my poor bunny and will take him out of his

121
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: pen without my permission when I'm not home.

122
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 4: Okay, minute is minute?

123
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: Second?

124
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: Thank god, that's pretty fat. That's really sting.

125
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: That would be thirty two.

126
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 2: Can we see him like a video of one of

127
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: these nails.

128
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: I may just depends on the size of the snail, but.

129
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 2: There's also the layer of Mildred being an awful pet

130
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: owner in general. So I know she's not going to

131
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: take care of the snail and eventually there will be

132
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 2: a disgusting, stinky tank in my living room. What can

133
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 2: I do about my situation? How do I approach this

134
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 2: without making my living situation unbearably ung comfortable for the

135
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 2: next five months. Part of me is just hoping that

136
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: one of her cats eats it out of starvation. But

137
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: I realized this isn't the best long term solution. There

138
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 2: is a relevant comment. Ope, you got to go to

139
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: animal control.

140
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: I don't know, to be like, maybe she's just bad

141
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 3: at taking care of mammals and she's meant to be

142
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 3: a mollusc curder.

143
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe that's it.

144
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 3: You want to watch her soul calls to molluscs.

145
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: I think that you go, you know, you call whoever

146
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 2: you can about, like animal abuse line or whatever, and

147
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: you say, hey, my roommate is one not feeding her

148
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: pets and also has an illegal snail in our house now,

149
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: and then you just let them do it.

150
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if I would ever condone someone calling

151
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: for illegal snails. You know, just doesn't feel right to me.

152
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 4: There's a bistically pretty snails.

153
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: What did that snail do to you? You need to

154
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 3: deprive that snail of a home. You know what they're

155
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 3: going to.

156
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 4: Do to it, right, that's not it's just fast forward.

157
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: You know what they're going to do to the snail.

158
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: Snails slow, they get that snail, they're going to extract

159
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 3: all of its snail secrets.

160
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 2: That snails movie, really.

161
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 3: And then we're going to invade snail Topia, Snailopolis, snelopoklyps.

162
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: Hey, that snail's moving pretty slow. I'm gonna be it.

163
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: If a bunch of snails lived on a chain of islands,

164
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 3: would it be uniland?

165
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 4: You imagine that snail a pelago, Like you wake up

166
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 4: and that.

167
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: The snail is just like but there's like two eyes.

168
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: I want to see someone being like really lovey dovey

169
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: with their snail.

170
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: You'd been like, oh, you said you could sneel.

171
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 4: It's like Gary, It's literally Gary.

172
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: But there are some relevant comments deleted. First off, what

173
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: the heck are all of you doing with a bunch

174
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: of pets in a three bedroom apartment. My friend lives

175
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: on a farm, and your one bovine short of matching

176
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: his animal account. Second, yeah, it is weird. That would

177
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: be a deal breaker. Who wants a giant effing snail?

178
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: I mentally note that this is the roommate who has

179
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: already accumulated two cats. Let's just say I reckon she'll

180
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: be owning a few more in your lifetime. Opie says,

181
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: I have no idea. It started with her having the

182
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: one cat. Then I found my bunny abandoned in a

183
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: box in our building's lobby, and I'm a sucker for

184
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: abandoned animals, so I took him in. Then she felt

185
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: the need to one up me, so she got another cat.

186
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: Then our roommate's grandma passed away and she took in

187
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: her dog, which I felt was too much, but I

188
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: didn't feel comfortable saying no since I had brought a

189
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: bunny into the mix, although, to be fair, he just

190
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: chills in my room and doesn't bother anyone anyway. I'm

191
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: ninety nine percent sure that she has a snail to

192
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: show off how quirky she is, because otherwise who would know?

193
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: Her tattoo of an ice cream Sunday and her two

194
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: cats clearly weren't enough to show off how much of

195
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: a special snow flick she is.

196
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 3: All Right, I don't like this vibe anymore. I okay,

197
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 3: So we've got a whimsical roommate who bought a snail. Yeah, okay,

198
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: where god forbid someone has a whimsical thing in their life. Yeah,

199
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 3: she is a bad she's a bad cat owner. That's nonwithstanding. Yeah, nonwithstanding,

200
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 3: it is a cool, quirky thing to have a weird

201
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: giant snail. Get over it.

202
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't. You can't beat that, Delita says, less

203
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: concerned about the amount of animals, although I would find

204
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: it weird anyway, This quote couldn't be better puts anyway,

205
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 2: I'm ninety nine percent sure that she has a snail

206
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,239
Speaker 2: to show off how quirky she is. YadA ya, YadA. Anyway,

207
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: you got to try and move out and slow fade

208
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: away from her.

209
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: Like a snail, Like a snail, and you know what

210
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 3: they say, snail never fail.

211
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: I'm definitely moving out when my lease is up in April.

212
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: I was considering finding a subletter for a while. There's

213
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: numerous things I hate about living here. It's not just

214
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: the illegal snail trafficking. But now I can't even do

215
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: that anymore, because it's like, Hey, you want to live

216
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: somewhere over on with poorly fed and aggressive cats. If

217
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 2: that's not exciting enough for you, what about a snail

218
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: that can give you meningitis? If so, this is the

219
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: crap hole for you. Anyway, I'm going to call my

220
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: landlord tomorrow. I'm sure she won't love an illegal snail

221
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 2: living in her unit and see what she can do.

222
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: And I will also place a call with Customs.

223
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 3: Okay, that's favor men ningitis. That's not very good.

224
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: That's pretty bad.

225
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,119
Speaker 3: But can you test your giant African landale angitis?

226
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? I would, that's the that's the question that we

227
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: got to be asking. It's a really nice apartment, So

228
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: what would be sweet if she got evicted and then

229
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: so one who's not crazy could come in When told

230
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 2: to report the roommate I'm afraid that she'll be able

231
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: to figure out that it's me. Her other roommate and

232
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: her become best friends, and it's often the two of

233
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: them ganging up against me in household issues. So I'm

234
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: sure she'd assumed that it was either me or my boyfriend,

235
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 2: since he's getting a master in this stuff, and then

236
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 2: she'll make my life unpleasant. And when told it seems

237
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: her friend cannot take care of the snail, she's one

238
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 2: hundred percent going to set it loose when it gets boring,

239
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: or she will leave it to pass away in the tank.

240
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 2: Fifty to fifty odds, I'm gonna report it. I really

241
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: don't care. My boyfriend just had me read a part

242
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: of the paper he wrote about snail parasites, and I'm

243
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: too skeeved out and don't want this thing in my

244
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 2: home anymore. I know there's no happy ending for the

245
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 2: snail here, which I think I'm the most upset about.

246
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: The poor guy just wants to slug around and eat lettuce.

247
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: It's not his fault. He's an illegal immigrant. That come

248
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: on on, a documented immigrant.

249
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 4: Come on.

250
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: He didn't want to be taken from his home. He

251
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: just wanted to live his snail life in Africa.

252
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 3: He was he was whisked away to a new land.

253
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: Shout out Gary.

254
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: Shot Gary. Well, yeah, what's the snail's name, Gary? His

255
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: name is Gary.

256
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: Did we just decided I dub the Gary?

257
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: Comments hiker. A cat says, Hiop, I'm a snail keeper

258
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: and I've kept gals in the past, presumably giant African

259
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 2: land snails. I'm in the UK. Firstly, the fact that

260
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 2: she brought the snail into the US is of course

261
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: extremely irresponsible and selfish. However, lots of people in this

262
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: thread are commenting on bacteria and parasites. The only chance

263
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: of getting parasites or snail illnesses, including the lungworm parasite,

264
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 2: is if the snail is eaten without being cooked or properly,

265
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: or if the snail is inappropriately handled without hands being

266
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 2: thoroughly washed afterwards and then touching lips, eyes, or nose

267
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: or food, or if she's doing something crazy like kissing

268
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 2: the snail. Of course, she should absolutely keep the animals

269
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: away from the snail and its slime due to the

270
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 2: risk of them having a lick or trying to eat it. Also,

271
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 2: the risk of parasites like lungworm depend on where the

272
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: snail is from, and whether or not it's wild cot.

273
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: In a snail that's been captive bread in kept in

274
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: captivity its whole life, the risk of dangerous parasites is

275
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 2: extremely low. In a snail that's wildcot, the risk is higher.

276
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 2: If possible, try to ensure that she is thoroughly washing

277
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 2: her hands after handling the snail or anything in the

278
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: snail's tank. However, that said, I would really not worry

279
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 2: too much about the chances of catching anything as long

280
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 2: as the animals aren't allowed direct contact with the snail,

281
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 2: or unless you're planning on eating it raw. Additionally, has

282
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 2: she kept snails before? They do, in fact, have fairly

283
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: specific requirements depending on the species, and too many people

284
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: think that you can just put them in some dirt

285
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 2: and throw the occasional bit of cucumber in the tank.

286
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: They need an appropriate substrate, correct temperature in their tank,

287
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: very diet including occasional protein, access to constant calcium supply,

288
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: laces in the tank to hide, et cetera. If she's

289
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: selfish enough to bring a giant African land snail into

290
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: the country illegally, I'd reckon it's a fairly good bet

291
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 2: that she's not giving it the correct care I either. Finally,

292
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: even if a snail is kept on its own, if

293
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: it's spicely mature, there's always the chance it could lay

294
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 2: eggs if it's ever been kept with another snail. They

295
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: can store baby juice to fertilize themselves for a long time.

296
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: This is the reason behind the misconception that they can

297
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: lay eggs without needing a mate. And unless the substrate

298
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 2: is being checked regularly for eggs, there is a possibility

299
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: that one day there might suddenly be hundreds of tiny

300
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 2: baby illegal snails in the tank with it. I wish

301
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: there was a way for you to find out who

302
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: illegally sent it to her. I would love to see them,

303
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 2: as well as her, reported and in trouble for their selfish,

304
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: reckless decision edits. If you do choose to report her,

305
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,359
Speaker 2: the correct people to contact are the USDA Department of Agriculture.

306
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: See here for good info and there is an update

307
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: six weeks later.

308
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 3: Why was that link? What was that link?

309
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: Called? Man and mollusc net, Odessa.

310
00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 3: Snail laws, mandmlisk dot net, men and mallsk men and malis.

311
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 2: All of your mollusc needs.

312
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 3: They do not mix the man and the mollusk.

313
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: Oh, keep them apart.

314
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 3: They keep their wily secrets to themselves.

315
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 2: But any who, I think you're doing the right thing

316
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 2: by reporting. Ye, sure, especially if you're worried about your pets,

317
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 2: and if you just don't like her, probably the best

318
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: way to get her out.

319
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, if she's like not gonna take care of any

320
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 3: of her pets, ride and she brought in an animal

321
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 3: that could spread meningitis to everyone in the house, Like you,

322
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 3: what are we taught?

323
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, reporter, Like, who cares if she's a little bit

324
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: like you know, I mean, she's already been passive aggressive

325
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: to you.

326
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 3: So yeah, I would classify putting a giant African land

327
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: snail tank in the living room without any conversation as

328
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 3: passive aggressive for sure.

329
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: Probably how's the other roommate, so chill with it, even

330
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 2: if they are best friends. I wouldn't want to live

331
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: with like two pets that are aggressive and a snail. Well,

332
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: they're not, can give.

333
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: Me that necessarily food aggressive, So it's only a guazza

334
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: when the food is out, and that is therefore. And

335
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: it's like if man, if you got three people in

336
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 3: an apartment, how are you going to have two cats

337
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 3: and a dog and a rabbit. Yeah, and a giant.

338
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: Snail and a snail, huge snail.

339
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 3: Where are you living? You need more space for these creatures.

340
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: You guys even have a backyard for this dog, for

341
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: the snail.

342
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: For the snail. Snail needs space, so it's a giant uh.

343
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: Six weeks later, going to warn you all right off

344
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: the bat that this update is a smitch anti climactic,

345
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: But I've been receiving a few messages wanting to know

346
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: what happened, So here goes. I called my landlord the

347
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: Monday following the post to explain the situation, and she

348
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: was awesome about it. You inform me that she does

349
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: an annual inspection of every apartment in our complex the

350
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: second week of January, so she'd deal with it then.

351
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: So I sent my buddy to live with my boyfriend

352
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: and waited until then. Inspection day rolled around, and shock

353
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: of all shocks, our landlord stumbled across the illegal snail.

354
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: She took it and told me it was dealt with

355
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: by immigration and evicted quote unquote all of us from

356
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: the apartment because having an illegal, potentially parasitic carrying snail

357
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: in your apartment is not allowed in the least. Basically,

358
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: she let us all break the lease with no consequences.

359
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 3: Yay, that's great. She's like, just get out of here

360
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 3: with your giant snail.

361
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, get get lost. I don't want you owe your

362
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: giant snail sniff around these parts again.

363
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: Get her out of here before she legs all those eggs.

364
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: What you won't on a down get her down Afaghan

365
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: lands nail down there, all gone, lay a whole under

366
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: egg down there. And I'm so straight and now already

367
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: you don't want it.

368
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: That's actually what what's what's his?

369
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: What's fancy? Delaqua?

370
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: No, the guy from the movie, the guy fromm was

371
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 2: saying the whole time.

372
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 4: Yea jambit, cham Gambit.

373
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: He didn't know it's Jambit.

374
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: It's a ja jambit. I don't believe you he's Gambit.

375
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: I've seen like Jiff you know is Yeah, no, wrong scambit. Anyway,

376
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: that's what Gambit was saying the whole time. He was

377
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: just talking about a giant African landsdail and you could

378
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: understand him.

379
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 3: He's talking about their eggs.

380
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 2: But we got more. If the other two girls were

381
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: going to contest the lease break, she was going to

382
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 2: pursue further legal action for having an illegal snails, potential parasites,

383
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 2: potentially impacting all of the units in the building.

384
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 3: Potentially potentially.

385
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if my landlord really had much of

386
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 2: a leg to stand on relegal action, but it was

387
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: enough to scare them out. I don't know where my

388
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 2: other two roommates are living now. I don't really care either.

389
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: You let me immediately sign back onto the apartment sick landlord.

390
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, landlord for the wind Pro landlord.

391

00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 2: connected to transit, a five minute walk from my favorite

00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: restaurant and only a seventeen minute walk from my work,

394

00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 2: pretty okay. This apartment is huge. I cannot overstate it's

402

Speaker 2: nods for further pets on all this worked out great

404

Speaker 2: and at it. Here's a pick of my bun And

405
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,280

Speaker 4: We have a snail.

410
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: The snail laid eggs.

411
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 3: They're everywhere we've been over. This snail is now typing

412
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 3: to you now.

413
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 2: Yes, the snail took over my body. Yes, well I mind.

414
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: We are writing about a beautiful apartments.

415
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 3: There are thousands of us. You do not know we

416
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 3: are coming.

417
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 4: Because I know everyone wants to see this.

418
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, so cute.

419
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 3: Shame on her for man handling your rabbit. Yeah wait, no,

420
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 3: I forgot that. That was at the beginning of the story.

421
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: Mildred can go kick rocks.

422
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get out of here, Mildred. But there is

423
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 2: an update eleven years later. Dang, are you.

424
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 4: Still with your boyfriend the snails? But he's still.

425
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 2: Probably not bud, He's only lived like three years. Hey,

426
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 2: this was actually me on a throwaway many years ago.

427
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: Part of this made me cringe because of how judgy

428
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: I come off. I was twenty two, so I'm gonna

429
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 2: give myself a bit of grace there.

430
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Hey, cool that you recognized that. You know.

431
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have much to add in terms of

432
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: a ten years later update, but if anyone's interested. The

433
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: boyfriend I was with at the time and I broke

434
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: up long ago. The bunny also, unfortunately passed away about

435
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: six months after that post. He started having occasional seizures

436
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 2: out of nowhere, and the VET wasn't able to get

437
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 2: to the bottom of it before he passed away. I

438
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: think maybe his seizure thing was pre existing and that's

439
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 2: why he was abandoned in the box. He was a

440
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 2: great bunny though. Oh my then best friend and his

441
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: girlfriend never ended up moving in, which put us in

442
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: a bit of a bind. TVH. There was a lot

443
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: of drama around them saying they'd move in, but then

444
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: not actually following through. So we haven't actually spoken in

445
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 2: a decade, which is for the best. The ex roommate

446
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 2: blocked me on social media shortly following this, so I

447
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 2: have no idea what she's up to. There was a

448
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 2: rumor at one point that she had gotten a second

449
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: snail and was trying to breed them to sell the

450
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 2: snail babies, but it's largely uns stantiated. That would be crazy.

451
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 2: She just became an illegal snail breeder.

452
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, el, may you know me? I'm Mildred. I'm uh

453
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 3: you know, come from a long line of snail folk.

454
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 2: M hm. You kick me out of the apartment and

455
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: I gotta find another way to lose.

456
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 4: Would you call that a trail of snail folk? Uh?

457
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 3: Long trail, Yes, the family trail of snail. That's my

458
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 3: name is Mildred Snail.

459
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 2: Nice, Mildred Stale.

460
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 3: Mildred Snail. Nice to meet you. I have thousands of snails.

461
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 3: Please buy them, please, thanks too many. They are taking

462
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 3: up a lot of space, and they live for a

463
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 3: long time. Actually, I think the giant African landsdale can

464
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 3: live for like thirty or forty years.

465
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: Egg.

466
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 3: Somebody look that up. Let's see you get somebody on

467
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 3: that and double check that I'm full of crap, I mean,

468
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 3: are you?

469
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 2: Every so often I google her out of curiosity, but

470
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 2: can't find anything. She has completely fallen off the grid.

471
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: Maybe she's living her best life as an illegal snail breeder.

472
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: Maybe she's moved to Africa, where her beloved snails are

473
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 2: native to Who knows. A coworker recently moved into that

474
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 2: same building. I told her I used to live there

475
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: and regaled her with the snail story.

476
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 4: All right, here you go, oh boy, Giant African snails

477
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 4: will referred to as gas live around five to seven years.

478
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 2: Oh not that long.

479
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,239
Speaker 4: Some can live up to ten years, okay, but it's

480
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 4: five to seven years is the average.

481
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 2: Apparently the leases now have a no illegal animals as

482
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: pets claws, so it was kind of funny to find

483
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 2: out about my newish boyfriend of Yearish and I are

484
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 2: moving in together in January. We're talking about getting a dog,

485
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 2: but we definitely have a two max cap on the

486
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: number of furry roommates we can handle. I'm thirty three

487
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: now and life is pretty boring and predictable dbh. So

488
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 2: this was a fun blast of nostalgia about how weird

489
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 2: and chaotic it was to be in my early twenties.

490
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: So thanks for that. Also, I'm Canadian. I said I

491
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 2: was American in the post in an attempt to protect

492
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 2: my identity. But land snails are illegal gear too, But

493
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 2: there is a little bit left to the story. Note

494
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 2: I was not exaggerating about how bad she was about

495
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: feeding her cats. She was honestly the worst in every way.

496
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 2: We weren't friends or anything before I found her on Craigslist.

497
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: It was a good life lesson on the dangers of craigslist.

498
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 2: There were also litter box issues, and one of the

499
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 2: cats loved to pee in my closet, but obviously I

500
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 2: didn't just let her cats starve. I avoided home whenever

501
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 2: possible because it was a hostile living environment. But when

502
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: I was home, I was always giving them extra food.

503
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 2: I was twenty two, and I was doing my best

504
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 2: with those cats. Okay, happy to validate my authenticity with

505
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: more picks of my dearly departed bunny or something. But

506
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 2: I swear this was me, and that is the end

507
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 2: of that story.

508
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 3: We believe you, We believe, we believe, but we believe

509
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 3: in your truth, in your snail truth.

510
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 4: I believe.

511
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 2: I believe. It seems like everything kind of worked out

512
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: for you, though, so good job.

513
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 3: If there was a storm and snails fell from the sky,

514
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 3: would you say it's snailing.

515
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: It's snailing, Yeah I would.

516
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 3: I would say that it's gotta have happened at least once.

517
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you never, you never, maybe like someone

518
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 2: was getting rid of a bunch of snails and they

519
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: like threw them up and then they were on the

520
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 2: top of really tall there was a building.

521
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 4: There's a snail in the boat, and we go, let's

522
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 4: snail away.

523
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 3: Like you know, like in World War Two when they

524
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 3: dropped all those like pamphlips all over the place. Its propaganda.

525
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 3: They got it mixed up and they had a bunch

526
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 3: of snails in there. I think that could have happened

527
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 3: because you know, the military is always getting up to

528
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 3: you know, they probably got a big batch of snails

529
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 3: laying around somewhere.

530
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: Did you know that they wanted cat bombs? That was

531
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 2: an idea.

532
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 3: That is a bad idea. I don't like it.

533
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 2: Oh wait, no, no, sorry, cat spies bat bombs.

534
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 3: Cat spies bat bombs. They had bird bombs, yeah, and

535
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 3: they were really really good. What the United States government

536
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 3: developed pigeons seeking uh, missiles, missiles and I believe torpedoes, no,

537
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 3: just missiles about this. So what it would do is

538
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 3: they trained these birds to peck at an image of

539
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 3: like a ship, like a battleship or something, okay, And

540
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 3: they taught the bird that if they pecked the battleship

541
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 3: that they would get food. Right, they pavlofed the birds.

542
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 3: So once the birds were in the real bombs. Uh,

543
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: there was like you know, some kind of whoy who

544
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 3: ha in there that like when the bird would peck

545
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 3: the ship that it could see, it would like adjust

546
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 3: the course of the bomb so that it would be accurate.

547
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 2: Interesting, all right. There's also a plan at one point

548
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 2: to blow up the Moon during the Cold War.

549
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 3: Don't know if that would be good.

550
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, they nixed that one.

551
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: I think that's kind of a checkmate for you know,

552
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 3: the whole planet.

553
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 4: They nixed that one, or they nix in that one.

554
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 3: Gay water game, waterhorse, waterhorse, Coldly, She's finally cold.

555
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 4: That's why I gave you the socks so they can

556
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 4: warm you up.

557
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 3: That's why I gave you those socks.

558
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 4: He's wearing the Kiki socks. All right, let's have the

559
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 4: next story.

560
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 3: Usable Or am I full of crap again? I think

561
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 3: that was the plan.

562
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 4: This guy tried to tell me Joseph Quinn, Eddie, Eddie

563
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 4: Munson or the human Torch. That's not his name. He's like,

564
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 4: that's not his name, that's not that's not it.

565
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 3: I swear he had a weirder name, man.

566
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 4: And I was like, his name is Joseph Quinn. He's like, no, no, no, no,

570
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,080

00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 4: Eddie Munson. And I'm like, that's Joseph Quinn. And he's

573
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:23,360

00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no no.

00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 2: But anyway, we're you to get into this next story.

585
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 4: Folks, still coughing.

586
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: He's fine, He's fine.

587
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 4: There we go, Oh boy, yeh are you ready?

588
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? I rejected my roommate when she tried to make

589
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 3: a move on me.

590
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 2: Get out of my way.

591
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I twenty five male, have been living in a

592
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 3: student dorm with four other people for almost a year.

593
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 3: We all share a kitchen in common areas. One of

594
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 3: the roommates is twenty one year old female. I've always

595
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 3: gotten along with pretty well, friendly, normal roommate vibes. Nothing

596
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 3: flirty from either side, or so I thought. Last weekend,

597
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 3: I was eating dinner alone on the couch in the

598
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 3: living room. By the way, this comes from user background

599
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 3: still thirty three seventy one and if you want to

600
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 3: submit your own stories, go to the r slash showcase

601
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 3: storytime suppurate it. I'm Dakota, I'm Sophia, I'm Keon, and

602
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 3: we're here to give you good advice goofli. But we

603
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 3: don't have all the answers. We only know what we

604
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 3: would do, So let us know what you would do

605
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 3: in the comments, and op says. She came in clearly

606
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 3: a little tipsy or schmoozied on the boozy. Uh, sat

607
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 3: right next to me, and we still started chatting about

608
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 3: random stuff. Out of nowhere, she leaned in and tried

609
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 3: to kiss me. She was really unsteady and her eyes

610
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 3: were glassy, so my immediate thought was she is way

611
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: too messed up for this to be a real decision,

612
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 3: and if anything happened, it would look like I took

613
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 3: advantage of her. So I kind of froze gently, moved

614
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 3: away and said something awkward like, hey, you've had a

615
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 3: lot to drink.

616
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of all you can I mean, you

617
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 2: could say other thing. There's there's more things you could say,

618
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 2: but that's a nice one.

619
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could say disgusting. Gross. I excused myself to

620
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 3: the kitchen. I figured she'd wake up the next day

621
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 3: barely remember it and everything would go back to normal.

622
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 3: Oh it did not.

623
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 2: No, no, no.

624
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 3: Since that night, she has completely avoided me. She won't

625
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 3: make eye contact, she leaves the room if I enter.

626
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 3: She skipped our usual group snack knights three days in

627
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: a row, which she never does. One of our other

628
00:27:54,920 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 3: Black Nights group snacks like really good star Well kind

629
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 3: of what's the most elite snack?

630
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 2: You know what? I really like those hello pandas.

631
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 4: Yeah those are good, yummy.

632
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 3: M I was gonna say, like good cheese, But I

633
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 3: don't think that's not like a charcutery. That doesn't count.

634
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 4: That's not like a that is a snack. I would say,

635
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 4: like carrots, carrots and hummus.

636
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 2: I don't think that's an elite.

637
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 3: It's not elite.

638
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 2: Hummus is really good, but it's not an elite.

639
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,719
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me? Every time I have carrots like, yeah, carrots,

640
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 4: I love ca jorpy. No, that's smelly and not everyone

641
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 4: can have it.

642
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 2: We'll think about this.

643
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 3: One of our other roommates pulled me aside and said

644
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 3: she's mortified and embarrassed and doesn't know how to face

645
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 3: me after throwing herself at me while wasted quote unquote,

646
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 3: I genuinely don't think less of her at all. I

647
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 3: rejected her in the moment because I was trying to

648
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 3: be respectful, not because I'm disgusted or uninterested. I actually

649
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 3: do find her attractive, but that's beside the point right now.

650
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 3: I just don't wander to feel ashamed every time she

651
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 3: sees me for the rest of the year we're living together.

652
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 3: My question is should I reach out and try to

653
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 3: clear the air?

654
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 2: Yes?

655
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 4: Yes?

656
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 3: If what do I even say so it doesn't make

657
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 3: things more awkward or put pressure on her? Or is

658
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 3: it better to just pretend nothing happened and let her

659
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 3: come around on her own. No?

660
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 4: Bad.

661
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 2: No, that idea you have to go up to her

662
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 2: and say hey, can we talk and she'd be like

663
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 2: m and you got you sit her down, you say hey,

664
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: like I know the other night like that was kind

665
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: of awkward. But I just want you to know this

666
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: is how I feel. And even so, it doesn't mean

667
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: I don't want to be friends with you or you

668
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 2: need to avoid me.

669
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 3: So I just want you to know. You the most

670
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 3: beautiful woman who was seen in my life and I

671
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 3: want to kiss you, but I was just too scared

672
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 3: to do it that night because I didn't know what

673
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 3: the heck was going on.

674
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 2: That could be another option, That's what you could say,

675
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: I guess figure out how you feel. Did you want

676
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 2: to kiss her?

677
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 3: Than in three years, you have children, you buy a house,

678
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 3: you you become an accountant.

679
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 2: And those are your two options.

680
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 3: That's as far as I can see into your future.

681
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty It ends shortly after that.

682
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 3: I don't want to make her feel worse, but the

683
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 3: current silent treatment is painful for both of us, and

684
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 3: the vibe in the flat is off and we have

685
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 3: some comments, but you know, should we just get into

686
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:04,719
Speaker 3: them them?

687
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 2: I feel like we've given advice you must speak speak

688
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 2: yall truth.

689
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 3: Brief Temperature forty nine says, definitely talk it out in private.

690
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 3: You have already described perfectly what it was and that

691
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 3: you didn't reject her. But the state she was in,

692
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 3: of course, if you think there is mutual attraction there,

693
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 3: it's of course actions to consider. Opie says, I can

694
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 3: see she's attracted to me, and even I am attracted

695
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 3: to her. Maybe I would have kissed her back if

696
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 3: she was in a steady state. Okay, but I really

697
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 3: want to tell her now that I have a crush

698
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 3: on her. But she isn't facing me, or even not

699
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 3: replying when I wish her good morning or hello. I

700
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 3: don't know what to do. I will write a text

701
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 3: to her telling I want to talk to her in private.

702
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 2: I think you grab you go up to her. She

703
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: lives with you. You go up to her, you say, hey,

704
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: I need to talk to you, and you go, I

705
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: really need to talk to you, and you get her

706
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: to come in another room and you say, hey, the

707
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: only reason I didn't kiss you the other day is

708
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 2: because you you know, I didn't want to take advantage.

709
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 3: I just didn't know if you were really about it.

710
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: But I'm really I I'll go out on a limb

711
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 2: here and say I wanted to kiss you.

712
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 3: I want to kiss you right on your mouth.

713
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 2: I want to kiss you right now.

714
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 4: Else let's kiss.

715
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 3: Oh okay, and that's what you should say. Say nothing,

716
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 3: but let's kiss.

717
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 2: Let's kiss.

718
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 3: Let's kiss right now.

719
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: Just be honest.

720
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 4: Probably won't work, but okay, probably if.

721
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 3: We kiss, be honest at the McDonald's drives.

722
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 2: At the McDonald's drive through, that seems like you're holding

723
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 2: up the line.

724
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 3: Slow kissing here, I say, slow kiss or alert you,

725
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 3: just like you have your first.

726
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 4: Kiss with someone you have a crush on. Time just stops. Yeah,

727
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,719
Speaker 4: it goes for your time machine. He stopped talking your

728
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 4: time machine.

729
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 3: We've got some more comments.

730
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: It's John og host. We're gonna get back to the stories.

731
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: But a quick three minute break of ads from our sponsors.

732
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 3: From sprim flop spouting Hall. Yeah, man, she's basically hiding

733
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 3: because she's mortified, not because she hates you. A simple

734
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 3: low pressure. Hey, we're cool. You didn't do any wrong.

735
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 3: I just didn't want to take advantage. Goes a long way,

736
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 3: keep it light, keep it short, and let her take

737
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 3: it from there. So it doesn't feel like you're cornering her.

738
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 3: And there's an update from a day later.

739
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: Fix it, fix it, fix it.

740
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 3: They're gunna have babies. They're gunna have babies. They're gonna

741
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 3: have babies, babies, babies, babies, babies, babies, babies, babies, babies,

742
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 3: babies having babies like snails. And that's a lot of babies.

743
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.

744
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 3: One days later, some of you asked for an update,

745
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, here we go.

746
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 2: Yay.

747
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 3: I have given link to the original post. I took

748
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 3: everyone's advice and just sent her a simple text yesterday. Hey,

749
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 3: everything's totally fine from my side, no weirdness at all.

750
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 3: Can we talk for a minute whenever you're free. Five

751
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 3: minutes later, knock, knock, knock. Kiss.

752
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 4: Do you do that same sound when your boyfriend comes

753
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 4: in for a kiss?

754
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course.

755
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 4: Okay, Carly does the same. Does your girlfriend do that?

756
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 2: No? That sucks.

757
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 5: She goes, anyway, I gotta talk to your girlfriend.

758
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 3: To you?

759
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 4: She goes, yay, your girlfriends the kermit the frog.

760
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he hits a kermit real quick, and then but

761
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 3: he doesn't kiss me.

762
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 2: I go, he goes, why are you Why are you

763
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 2: making that noise?

764
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 3: Why why are you gurgle ground?

765
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: He goes, what's going on anyway?

766
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 3: She looked super nervous immediately started apologizing for basically throwing

767
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 3: herself at me while hammered, and I just laughed a

768
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 3: little and told her it wasn't really a big deal

769
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 3: in that I only stopped it because she was way

770
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 3: too wasted and I didn't want things to be messy

771
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 3: and wanted neither of us to regret it later. And

772
00:33:58,360 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 3: there's a little bit left of this.

773
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 2: Seems like we're on the right track.

774
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 3: I think they're getting mary having babies right now, a

775
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 3: long and fruitful life.

776
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 4: I think they're about to kiss right now, or more.

777
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 3: I think they're about to kiss or more.

778
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 2: Whoa kean.

779
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 3: She's totally about to kiss me, isn't she.

780
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's find out.

781
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 4: I need to know what if she's a bad kiss?

782
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be tough.

783
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 3: Then I took a deep breath and said I actually

784
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 3: really like her and have for months. She went quiet

785
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 3: for like three or four seconds, got this huge mount

786
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 3: and said, wait for really, and then basically launched at

787
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 3: me for the longest hug ever, and.

788
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 4: She said, I'm friend zoning you.

789
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 2: She said, I don't wanna. I don't want to. I

790
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 2: don't even want to know you.

791
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 3: She's like, that's so great. Now I can reject you. Yeah,

792
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 3: this was really just about getting rejected. Yeah. No, She

793
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 3: told me she likes me too, and I gave her

794
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 3: a kiss on a head on ahead and asked her out.

795
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 4: What so what kind of hood?

Speaker 3: What so so? So we're going out for dinner and

797

Speaker 3: drinks on Saturday. She already promised no overdrinking, and I

798
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 3: will try it out sober this time. Okay, honestly, I

799
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 3: feel like I'm floating. Thanks to everyone who told me

800
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 3: to stop overthinking and jest text her. You guys saved

801
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 3: me from months of awkward hallway dodging. And we have

802
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 3: some comments from Depression's final form. Gosh, good on you

803
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,440

Speaker 3: right way. You're a good lad. Yay, a good lad.

00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,479
Speaker 4: How many kids you got?

Speaker 3: Kiss on the head is yeah, yeah, that's interesting.

812
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 2: I would strange like you've I don't know, it seems

813
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 2: like a piece of sweetie pie, but I would be

814
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 2: like a little bit thrown off if I'm the girl

815
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 2: in that situation. We've just confessed that we like each other.

816
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 4: Had a long hug, yeah, look each other in the eyes,

817
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 4: and then he just goes, can you Yeah. I'm imagining

818
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 4: if that happened to me, if I confess my feelings

819
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 4: to Carley, Yeah, I was like.

820
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 2: She just kissed you on the forehead, and I'd be like,

821
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 2: what the F was that?

822
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 3: Yeah?

823
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 2: She goes, she goes, she grabs your face, and You're.

824
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 4: Like, I felt It's like, oh, what was that that was?

825
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 3: I mean, it's kind of sweet.

826
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 2: It's sweet. It is sweet, it's kind of sweet. I

827
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 2: just think I would be expecting a little kiss on

828
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 2: the lips.

829
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 3: Whoa, that's how germs are spread.

830
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 4: That's how snails are spread.

831
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 3: Snail on the lips, Now you got meningitis when everybody's

832
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 3: talking about big old snails.

833
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 2: He wants the first kiss to be a thing. Yeah,

834
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,920

Speaker 4: Which is cute, mystical magical Benson boontacle cute. Yeah, that's fine.

Speaker 2: Yeah?

851
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 3: I just wanted to make him laugh.

852
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 4: Dupid all right, because he's.

858
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 3: Okay, believe you've already done.

859
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 4: So I am.

860
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 2: Let's do it.

861
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 4: I'm pretty good at that.

862
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 2: Let's do it. I'm laughing at my ex's roommates downfall

863
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: after years of frustration.

864
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 3: Ha ha.

865
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 2: And this comes directly from the r slash Okay storytime

866
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 2: suppered it ah ah, hey, y'all. So a little background.

867
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,720
Speaker 2: I used to live with my roommate for about two years,

868
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 2: and it was a mix of good, bad, and worse.

869
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 2: He was all right, but always loud when he was

870
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 2: in a negative mood, which happened a lot. Luckily, I'd

871
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 2: avoid his wrath by spending the majority of my day

872
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 2: at work or in my room. By the way, this

873
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 2: comes from Cyrus Jericho. And if you want to submit

874
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,760
Speaker 2: your own stories, good at the r slash Okay Storytime subur.

875
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 3: I'm Sophia, I'm Dakota, I'm Keon.

876
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 2: And we're here to give good advice goofly, but we

877
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 2: don't have all the answers. We only know what we'd do,

878
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 2: So let us know what you would do in the comments,

879
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,959
Speaker 2: and Op says things started to escalate during the second year,

880
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 2: around June of twenty twenty four, when he met a

881
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 2: guy who showered him with attention and also party candy.

882
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 2: He was always wired or wasted for a month while

883
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 2: that was going on. During that time, I had to

884
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 2: take care of his pets and so on. Without telling me,

885
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 2: he moved in this friend who didn't pay rent. He

886
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 2: stayed with us from June to March on and off.

887
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 2: During that time, we fought constantly about him. He would

888
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 2: yell back that it was my fault our bills weren't

889
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,439
Speaker 2: paid or were too high. Keep in mind, most days

890
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: I'm out of the house nine to thirteen hours, and

891
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,919
Speaker 2: I'm always giving my share. Turned out he was using

892
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 2: my money to fund his and his partner's habits.

893
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 3: No way, but stole your money for party candy, yikes

894
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 3: for nerds, gummy clusters.

895
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 2: But he didn't care and try to scam more money

896
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 2: out of me. November rolls around and he finds a

897
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 2: cheaper light bill company where we pay weekly. It wasn't cheaper,

898
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 2: it was three hundred dollars a month, and we didn't

899
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 2: even use heat for the entire winter. Having to do

900
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 2: that gave him more excuses to complain and get angry

901
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 2: for whatever reason. New Years comes and goes, and we

902
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 2: get into another fight because of his guest and other issues.

903
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 2: In February, I told him I was moving out when

904
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 2: the lease was up. He was mad again. Between those

905
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 2: times when we were good, I'd show him places for

906
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 2: himself so he could move as well. He said no,

907
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: he could manage the thirteen twenty five hundred apartment alone,

908
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 2: last light, gas and insurance. I kept saying if he

909
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 2: was sure, and he said yes, So I left it alone.

910
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 2: March rolls around, his guest is finally out of the picture.

911
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 2: We get him arrested and he will serve time in prison.

912
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 3: What okay, You guys collectively got this guy arrested. We

913
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 3: did a sting operation, Yeah on mister friend.

914
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 2: The whole time, Opie's roommate was just like, stop getting involved,

915
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 2: I'm undercovered, deep cover. April rolls around and another explosive

916
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 2: fight happens. This one got so bad I stopped paying

917
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 2: rent and he couldn't do anything. Same with May and June.

918
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 2: In June things got physical because he went in my

919
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 2: room and started taking things out. I got tired of it,

920
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 2: and luckily I kept recording our fights as a justin

921
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 2: case scenario because I've read a lot of credit stories

922
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 2: that say evidence is always helpful.

923
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 3: Well, that is true.

924
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 2: Sure is sure is true, big big truths. The last

925
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 2: two weeks I was there, I stayed at my friend's place.

926
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 2: On move out day, I moved everything out myself. Well,

927
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: he kept telling me to be quiet and hurry up.

928
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 2: But I'm imagining this is all still part of his

929
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 2: sting operations. I'm actively I'm actively undercover. I'm on a steakout,

930
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 2: and you're being so loud.

931
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 3: You're blowing it. You're blowing it.

932
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 2: Another fight happened and I threatened him with the police,

933
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 2: DPS and disability. He shut up and left for a while.

934
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 2: What I forgot to mention is that he is on disability,

935
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 2: which isn't considered a disability anymore because there's medication that helps,

936
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 2: and millions of other people have it and are living

937
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 2: their lives to the fullest. DPS because he has fake

938
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 2: tags on his car and they are looking to repoet.

939
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 2: Now a couple of friends think I'm the ale. I

940
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 2: spent the whole month of July alone enjoying the piece.

941
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 2: Yesterday I saw a GoFundMe regarding my roommate on a

942
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 2: couple of my friend's pages, and I started laughing at

943
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 2: the irony. I started talking to my group of friends

944
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: about it and making jokes. Well, someone said I should

945
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 2: have sympathy for him and his dogs. I said, screw him.

946
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 2: I tried to help, but he wouldn't budge. And I'll

947
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 2: enjoy seeing him on the street. Other people agreed with

948
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 2: me because they had seen his anger and read about

949
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 2: it on Facebook, painting me and others in a bad light.

950
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 2: He has another roommate who pays his portion of the

951
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 2: rent every two weeks, and now he doesn't have the money.

952
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm also his neighbors, so I will

953
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 2: see everything. But anyway, am I the ale for enjoying

954
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 2: the downfall of my ex roommates. But there is an update, folks.

955
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 3: Any final fonts, I think reveling in the suffery of

956
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 3: others is poisoned for the heart. However, however, this is

957
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 3: somebody who like did make your life a nightmare, and

958
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 3: you were in a physical altercation with them, and they

959
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 3: were stealing from you and were making your life just

960
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 3: just bad, just making your life bad.

961
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 2: Shocked that all of your like mutual friends have or

962
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 2: some of them have taken his side. Yeah, just did

963
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 2: they know about all them? Load? Just show him sympathy,

964
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 2: and it's like, you, poor little guy.

965
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 3: You could like, it's easier to show sympathy when you weren't, like,

966
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 3: you know, directly involved with the situation. That's really what

967
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 3: it is.

968
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 2: Yeah. Update, My other ex roommate who was living with

969
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 2: us has told me that he is going to pull

970
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 2: a disappearing act. He told the leasing office he is

971
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 2: moving and isn't going to pay the rent for this month.

972
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 2: While doing that, he is leaving that roommate all alone

973
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 2: and soon to be homeless because he can only pay

974
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 2: the rent, not the other guy. Apparently he is running

975
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 2: because he also lied about his information when he applied

976
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 2: and got accepted for a specific credit card. They emailed

977
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 2: and mailed him something and supposedly he could get arrested

978
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 2: for fraud or something. He's running off to another state,

979
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 2: which he was dumb enough to post on Facebook.

980
00:43:55,280 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 3: Oh, this guy's not undercoveraging guy's just a dummy.

981
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 2: His GoFundMe has now turned into his travel funds, even

982
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 2: though he makes eighteen hundred dollars a month, and he

983
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,879
Speaker 2: is moving in with family who is letting him live

984
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 2: there for free. And we've got some comments common one.

985
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 2: You can enjoy his downfall, but try not to do

986
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 2: so too much. You still have a lot of life

987
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 2: ahead of you. Oh, he says, I'm not doing anything

988
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 2: as of now. I feel bad for my friend who

989
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 2: is living there, and he is making his life a

990
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 2: living heck, and that's the end. Of that story, folks,

991
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 2: lovely wow.

992
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 3: Sometimes sometimes sometimes, sometimes your problems don't fix themselves. And

993
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 3: sometimes your problems get a warrant out for their arrest

994
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 3: for fraud and have to leave the state, and then

995
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 3: you're you wipe your hands of them.

996
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 4: And sometimes you get a good feeling to.

00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 2: That is true.

998
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 3: It's going to be a good night.

999
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 2: And sometimes you have comments to read. Sometimes you have

1000
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 2: another story.

1001
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 3: I lied a good night.

1002
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 2: Sometimes you have a second earth.

1003
00:44:55,520 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 3: I've got a feeling they just turned into dogs. I

1004
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 3: got a feeling a good night. What's the best black

Speaker 1: We're gonna get back to this episode, but a quick

1032
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: three minute break of ads from a sponsor's keeping the

Speaker 1: show alive.

1034
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 3: My friend says I failed her during a tragedy, but

1035
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 3: I thought she hated me.

1036
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 2: She does now.

1037
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 3: My friend twenty two female and I twenty seven female,

1038
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 3: have been friends for basically four years now. We were

1039
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 3: inseparable ever since we met, doing everything together from walking jim,

1040
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 3: study date, It's arts and crafts, book club, et cetera,

1041
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,479
Speaker 3: et cetera. We would see each other almost every day,

1042
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 3: like walking every night. By the way, this comes from

1043

1046
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 3: and we're here to give good advice goofully man, but

1047
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 3: we don't know everything, so the advice might not be

1048
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 3: that good. But that's okay because you know stuff and

1049
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 3: you can tell us what you know in the comments,

1050
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 3: and OP says. Outside of these activities, we would also

1051
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,240
Speaker 3: be texting every day, and we were basically best friends,

1052
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 3: even though we never vocally said you're my best friend

1053
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 3: to each other. But I guess that's not realistic.

1054
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 2: You never said this is my best friend. I say

1055
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 2: that with all of my best friends.

1056
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 3: That's so, that's so normal, Kean, you're my best friend.

1057
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. I literally like I tell my best friends. I'm like, yeah,

1058
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 2: my best friend, my best friend.

1059
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,240
Speaker 4: Every one knows that. You're all my best friends.

1060
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 2: You're my bed, you're my best friend.

1061
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 4: It just depends how you treat me.

1062
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 2: Some days we're not your best friends.

1063
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I treat you perfectly all the time.

1064
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 4: You fart, and then that smell has nothing to do

1065
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 4: with friendship, that's true. Friends don't let friends smell each

1066
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 4: other's farts without letting them tell. Yeah, exactly, I never lie. No,

1067
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 4: you just let me smell it. And then you stare

1068
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 4: at me and you're like, did he smell it? Until

1069
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 4: I lock eyes with you and you yet, yeah, he

1070
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 4: smelled it.

1071
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 3: That's nice.

1072
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 4: And then I even give.

1073
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 2: Your anyway, stories.

1074
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 3: That don't happen.

1075
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 2: We've got stories to read.

1076
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 3: She would tell me things she couldn't tell anyone else,

1077
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 3: and she would even get me to join organizations she

1078
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 3: would volunteer for and work for. Although we never worked

1079
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 3: together per se, as we would have different shifts. Fast

1080
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 3: forward to this year, when she graduated and I was

1081
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 3: looking for a teaching job. She got a job in

1082
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,320
Speaker 3: a school before me, and I was applying left and

1083
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 3: right and going to job interviews. One day, she heard

1084
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 3: that there was an opening for the same position she

1085
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 3: is working, which I told her I would love to

1086
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 3: work in, and she texted me about it and to

1087
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 3: quickly send my CV so she could share it with

1088
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 3: her supervisor. I ended up getting the job and we

1089
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 3: started working in the same office and we literally eat

1090
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 3: lunch together and park our cars next to each other.

1091
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 2: OW.

1092
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, she adorably cute. What was a shock to me

1093
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 3: was when I started working with her, all of a sudden,

1094
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 3: she wasn't acting like my friend, and I felt like

1095
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 3: she was being cold and distant with me. Another thing

1096
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 3: that bothered me was when I told her I don't

1097
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 3: have my car on Mondays and Thursdays. She didn't offer

1098
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 3: to drive me. I live one minute away from her.

1099
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 3: Another thing that happened was when I got triggered by

1100
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 3: an interaction with a member of HR staff and went spiraling,

1101
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 3: thinking I'm going to lose my job, and when I

1102
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 3: started having a breakdown in front of her, she said,

1103
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 3: you are so out of touch. This is too much negativity.

1104
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 3: You're just going in circles and keep saying the same

1105
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 3: thing and just left my room. I would you know

1106
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:18,439
Speaker 3: if you are in a mental breakdown spiral and you're

1107
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 3: talking to someone who's like, what like twenty one, Yeah,

1108
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 3: she's a lot younger than you, not equipped to help

1109
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 3: you or handle it like that? Is that sounds like

1110
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 3: a normal response, Just like, yeah, I don't know what

1111
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 3: to help you. You're being very negative and you keep

1112
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 3: saying the exact same thing, and I don't know what

1113
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 3: to say to help you. Yeah.

1114
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 2: I mean it could be a youth thing that she

1115
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 2: just didn't know how to handle it.

1116
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:36,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1117
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 3: I later shared how I felt with her. I couldn't

1118
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 3: open up about the second thing as I didn't feel comfortable,

1119
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 3: and she apologized and said that she's acting that way

1120
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 3: at work because she's just very tunnel vision and focused

1121
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 3: and professional at work. She said, we've never been in

1122
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,359
Speaker 3: a professional setting together like this, and so it's going

1123
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 3: to be a new dynamic. Okay, I agree, whatever, and

1124
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 3: we agreed that we should do more fun things outside

1125
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,280
Speaker 3: of school because I felt very distant after the interaction

1126
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 3: where she left my room when I was triggered in

1127
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 3: having a panic attack. I honestly didn't feel safe or

1128
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 3: comfortable being vulnerable with her, and it caused me to

1129
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 3: feel more distant. At the same time, this alter ego

1130
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 3: she has at work and how we don't act like

1131
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 3: friends at work also made it worse as I didn't

1132
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 3: feel close to her. She also always seems to go

1133
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 3: to our mentor to tell her about funny things that

1134
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 3: happened with her students in the hallways or in her lessons,

1135
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,959
Speaker 3: and I feel very excluded and hurt by this too.

1136
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 3: Today she found out that her great aunt, who she

1137
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 3: was very close to, passed away, and I overheard when

1138
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:36,879
Speaker 3: she went to our mentor to tell her about it.

1139
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 3: She was shocked by the news and just wanted to

1140
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 3: ask about and figure out how she can take a

1141
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 3: few days off work to be with her family. I

1142
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 3: felt hurt that she didn't come to tell me first.

1143
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 3: I went in and asked what was happening, and as

1144
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 3: she was crying, and honestly, I literally felt like I

1145
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,399
Speaker 3: was overstepping and making her uncomfortable by entering the room,

1146
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 3: but I had to anyways. We discussed how she could

1147
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 3: take days off work, and I hugged her and said,

1148
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but I am honestly not good with physical touch,

1149
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 3: so even this made me uncomfortable. I asked if they

1150
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 3: were close and how it happened, but she just said yes,

1151
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 3: very close, and cried and went to her room. I

1152
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 3: didn't follow, and I thought, maybe she doesn't want me

1153
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 3: and she wants to be alone. All the signs were

1154
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 3: telling me this. She went to my mentor to tell

1155
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 3: her about it, and she rushed into her classroom. When

1156
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 3: I asked her about it, was I supposed to follow

1157
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 3: her into her room. I didn't check on her for

1158
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 3: another maybe two hours, as I was lesson planning, and

1159
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 3: then I had a lesson with my student. Then I

1160
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 3: decided I should check on her as the whole team

1161
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 3: was at the meeting table and she was all alone

1162
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 3: in her classroom. I asked if it's okay for me

1163
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 3: to come in. I felt so unwanted and if it's

1164
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,839
Speaker 3: okay for me to sit down. She said yes, and

1165
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 3: I sat down, but she wasn't opening up to me.

1166
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 3: She later left early to be with her family, and

1167
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 3: I hugged her as she left. She texted me a

1168
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 3: few hours later about how she felt so hurt that

1169
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 3: I wasn't there for her and that it was so

1170
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 3: painful to be alone. In that moment, I told her

1171
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 3: I was sorry and that I thought she wanted to

1172
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 3: be alone, but that next time I would try to

1173
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 3: be there for And there is a little bit more

1174
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 3: story left here. Honestly, I feel like our feelings are

1175
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 3: getting in the way a little bit.

1176
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 2: I think both of you are just kind of like

1177
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 2: going through a lot emotionally and then expecting maybe too

1178
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 2: much from the other person that they can't provide, and

1179
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 2: then being upset that they can't provide that specific thing

1180
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 2: that you guys want. And I think going forward, you

1181
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 2: just have to be more open and honest about Hey,

1182
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 2: this is what I need going forward, this is what

1183
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 2: I was expecting. I realize I can't just assume.

1184
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 3: That you know that, Yeah, you know, when your feelings

1185
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 3: dictate your actions, you are no longer in control of

1186
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 3: yourself and feelings are very real. But it's the mastery

1187
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 3: of our feelings that allows us to you know, move

1188
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 3: through a situation like this, Yeah, and just be able

1189
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 3: to let stuff go, you know, just like the she

1190
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 3: went to the mentor you know, it's all right, you

1191
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 3: can just let that go. That doesn't mean that she

1192
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 3: doesn't like you or it is not your friend. Be

1193
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 3: like self professional at work. She's she's probably one of

1194
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 3: the younger people there. She of course she's gonna want

1195
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 3: to be very professional so that she comes across a

1196
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 3: good and you know, she's a teacher. There is some

1197
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 3: level of authority that is, you know, wanted or demanded there.

1198
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 2: You just gotta be Yeah, you both have to communicate

1199
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 2: about what you need and what you want, and that's that.

1200
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 2: But just be like Elsa, let her go, Let it go.

1201
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 3: Ohp says, I feel like such a bad friend. But

1202
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 3: I feel so distant from her. I don't know what's

1203
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 3: going on because she was like a sister to me,

1204
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 3: and it's making me so upset for us to be

1205
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 3: like this. At the same time, I don't feel comfortable

1206
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 3: opening up or being vulnerable with her. At this point

1207
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 3: in our friendship. How was I supposed to respond to

1208
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 3: the news of her loss today. I'm honestly not even

1209
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 3: that good with grief and passing and stuff and supporting

1210
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 3: people with that, So that gave an added challenge. Like

1211
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 3: I watched my coworkers and the way they scooped her

1212
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 3: up so maternally and hugged her and stroked her. But

1213
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 3: I'm so bad with physical touch that I can't do

1214
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 3: that type of stuff. So it makes me feel like

1215
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 3: such a bad friend and a failure and the a whole?

1216
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 3: Am I the a whole? Any advice to save our

1217
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 3: friendship or explanation on why this is happening to us so.

1218
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 2: Us you're not communicating. You've got to communicate. You can't

1219
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 2: just be honest assumptions.

1220
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 3: It sounds like you've assumed also that this has been

1221
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 3: your best friend. Yeah, you know that, it's never been said.

1222
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 3: You've never said his sister.

1223
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 4: You know what they say when you assume.

1224
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, stop it, They say, stop stop doing that.

1225
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 3: Stop freaking doing that, dude.

1226
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,359
Speaker 2: But that is the end of that story. And we've

1227
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 2: got comments comments from the story, comments from the video.

1228
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 2: My husband abandoned our baby for his parents, and this

1229
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 2: was posted October twenty first, twenty twenty five. TLDR is

1230
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 2: Op's wife struggles with body image and feels unattractive because

1231
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 2: she rarely gets compliments from anyone but Ope. At a party,

1232
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 2: Opie realized his usual reassurances weren't enough, so he considered

1233
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,800
Speaker 2: secretly paying Strang to flirt with her to booster confidence.

1234
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 2: I remember the story. Oh no, his sister told him

1235
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,919
Speaker 2: it was a bad idea, and Dope agreed. Now he's

1236
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 2: looking for safer ways to help. Is why I feel beautiful,

1237
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 2: like therapy, self care and spat a's without risking trust

1238
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 2: or embarrassment. If you're curious to know the full story,

1239
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 2: you can go watch the full video. And that was

1240
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 2: the s story too in that episode. I do remember

1241
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 2: that one.

1242
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 4: It worked out well, don't I don't know. I don't

1243
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,399
Speaker 4: remember that, but we did some comments, and I'll go and.

1244
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 3: Reelize like it wouldn't work out well.

1245
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 4: But let's see what's up. The comment says. First comment

1246
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 4: here is miss tats eighty three saying getting hit on

1247
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 4: in a bar doesn't mean anything. I worked in the

1248
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 4: bar environment long enough, and I've been friends with Dorman

1249
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 4: long enough to know that what a lot of guys

1250
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 4: are after is an easy night. I never got hit

1251
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 4: on and was told it's because I'm seriously intimidating. Apparently

1252
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 4: I have an RBF. Yet what people don't realize it's

1253
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 4: anxiety And that's from miss Tats. Thank you for that comment.

1254
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there are a variety of reasons why

1255
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 2: very beautiful people don't get hit on in public. And

1256
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 2: it's kind of aura is so cool?

1257
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 4: What I do remember this? Yes, I do remember your aura?

1258
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 2: Is it's too cool?

1259
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 3: Your spiritual energy?

1260
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,879
Speaker 4: Yeah. Another comment here by Crew, He says, I think

1261
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,479
Speaker 4: that the wife who isn't getting flirted with maybe either

1262
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 4: presents yourself in a closed off way or more likely

1263
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 4: doesn't see the signs of a one of who or

1264
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 4: when someone is flirting with her. Oftentimes my friends will

1265
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 4: be the one who points out when someone was flirting

1266
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 4: with me after the fact. If it wasn't for them

1267
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 4: saying something, I wouldn't think nobody ever flirts with me.

1268
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 2: That's the thing. Flirting also comes in less overt ways

1269
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 2: than just like hey, do you want to go out?

1270
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 2: Or like I think you're pretty. It isn't always.

1271
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 3: You're familiar with.

1272
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 4: Yes, it could be like it could be like laying

1273
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 4: on a shoulder, laying the touch of an arm, or

1274
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 4: gazing into someone's eyes.

1275
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 2: There are many ways that you can flirt without being

1276
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 2: or kissing them on the.

1277
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,280
Speaker 3: Forehead overt You can look at somebody.

1278
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 2: You could just look at someone.

1279
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 3: Honestly, though, I have seen you look at one person

1280
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 3: in a way where I was like.

1281
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, that was a while ago.

1282
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 3: That was and it was really funny because it was

1283
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:09,880
Speaker 3: so obvious to me. It was like it was like

1284
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 3: you had cartoon eyes that were like stretching out of

1285
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 3: your head. I'm just looking wait, yeah, talk more, say

1286
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 3: more words, or be like keyon.

1287
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 4: Where you just have an overly flirty personality and it's

1288
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 4: just natural.

1289
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,680

1292

Speaker 4: low self image because oh no, they were just being nice,
