1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: I undermind my husband's punishment for our son now he

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: refuses to parent at all. Let me first say my

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: oldest son is in his last year of high school

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: and he is not the biological son of my husband.

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: My husband and I have been married for fourteen years

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 1: now and have two other beautiful children together. So basically,

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: stepdad to the oldest kid looks like my oldest son's

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: father is not in the picture. My husband is dad

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: in all respects to my son. All the above is

10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: just said to clarify our dynamics. By the way, this

11
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: comes from throwaway Mom's were word up on the our

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: slash showayse storremtimes I'll read it. So I do love

13
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: him a lot, and he cares for me and cares

14
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: for all of my kids the same. I have never

15
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: seen any favoritism or any kind towards another. But two

16
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: weeks ago, while me and my husband were on our

17
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: way home from the highway, a car came speeding past us.

18
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: My husband asked me if that was our son, because

19
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: it was the exact same car that we bought him.

20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: My husband sped up and caught up to the car.

21
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: I think we were doing ninety five miles an hour

22
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: when we finally caught up to it. Do not quote

23
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: me on the speed please. I really only remember my

24
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: husband driving saying, what the f he is driving ninety?

25
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: But I digress. Well, it was our son and he

26
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: was on his phone while speeding through traffic. That's bad.

27
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: Being on the phone, that's not good. Not good. I

28
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: was looking at the notion.

29
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 3: So okay, okay, okay, bring on the phone podcasting or

30
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: driving shot.

31
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: But did it?

32
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: I would never do that.

33
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: Never, never a phone in podcast. Okay, okay. Story time.

34
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: I had to go to driving school because I like

35
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,199
Speaker 3: ran and read stop sign and there was one girl

36
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: in there that was like texting while driving, like that's

37
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: why she got caught. And at the end the teacher

38
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: was like, what do we all learn? And she was

39
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 3: doing this. He's like, excuse me, what did you learn?

40
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: Oh uh not to text and drive? Like it didn't change. Sorry,

41
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 3: I thought it was funny, dude.

42
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: People people don't change.

43
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: People don't change.

44
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: Well, don't change.

45
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do think it's funny that the ming wing

46
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: says son is driving ninety while dad is driving ninety.

47
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: That's true. The classic classic. It was our son driving.

48
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: He was on the phone. While speeding through traffic, you're

49
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: also speaking through traffic well.

50
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: To catch up, to get the evidence to nab him.

51
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: You know, in a high speed car chase, how are

52
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: you gonna How are you gonna catch the perp?

53
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: You know, and they're probably in the inner say are

54
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 3: you gonna go slow? Yeah?

55
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: Another quick, okay story time. I'm so sorry.

56
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 3: There was a car chase that happened in my neighborhood

57
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: and it crashed into one of my neighbor's house and

58
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: they had to get it rebuilt in next six Mars.

59
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: It's like even worse to I feel like it's even

60
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: worse if you're gonna do a full on car chase.

61
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: In all reality, they should not.

62
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: You're doing that to the professionals literally, like b oh no.

63
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: I even think like even professionals, I don't know.

64
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 3: They can handle it.

65
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: Are you going to catch them? I think he was texting,

66
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: because we could clearly see him having both hands busy

67
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: with his phone from the opposite lane.

68
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: I think it was so funny if they texted him

69
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: I see you. Yeah, They're like okay, and he was

70
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: like right, I.

71
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: Wanted my husband to honk at him, but he said no,

72
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: that might just cause issues catch him off guard and

73
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: cause an accident.

74
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: Mark Smart.

75
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: When we got home, we parked behind our son. My

76
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: husband walked into the living room and just held out

77
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: his hand and said, give me the keys. My son

78
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: asked why, and my husband raised his voice and said,

79
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: give me the fing keys. I do think he should explain.

80
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: I think you should explain.

81
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, but when my son took the keys out

82
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: of his pocket, my husband grabbed them and told him

83
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: you are no longer allowed to drive that car, and

84
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: he left the room. He looked at me and asked

85
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: what was going on, and I told him that we

86
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: saw him on the highway and his eyes got all

87
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: big and he struggles to say anything.

88
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: M how old is he?

89
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: Again?

90
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: At least older than fourteen?

91
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: Also at least older than sixteen.

92
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you can drive when you're fourteen. No, on

93
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: the highway with a parent.

94
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: He wasn't with the Paris.

95
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: I'm just saying driving with a legal adult. Wait, how

96
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: old were you guys when you ever you learned how

97
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: to drive?

98
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: If it was not legal until maybe fourteen and a

99
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: half in specificate but fifth, yeah, I.

100
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: Think I started driving with my dad. This is a

101
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: for legal purposes. This is a joke. When I was

102
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 2: like fourteen forteen to say four no, like he would

103
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: take me into parking lot of stuff.

104
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: I learned that ten, he's at least fourteen. That's all

105
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: I know. Thanks Chat for helping us out. So about

106
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: an hour later, I heard my husband yell from the kitchen,

107
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: I don't give an f about your job or school.

108
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: You can walk, take the bike or the bus. I

109
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: don't care. You will not be driving that car again.

110
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this more on the break, but I'm

111
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: really don't like the way that he's yeah, you have

112
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: to just sit down explaining like, look, you can literally die.

113
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: I think it's it's fair to say you can't drive

114
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: the car totally, but I think I think it is

115
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: sitting down and saying, hey, that was really responsible. You

116
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: can kill someone, Yeah, there's you can hurt, like you know,

117
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: your own life can be at risk. Yes, so for

118
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: the timing, you cannot drive this car.

119
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, punishment and repercussion just don't I don't love doing it. Yeah,

120
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: And I'm just like I don't care. I mean, I

121
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: know he's like, what would possess I don't know. To me,

122
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: I'm just like, what would possess you. I get the frustration.

123
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. For me, I just can't imagine doing

124
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: that from Yeah, that's just me. I don't know. Apparently,

125
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: my son came to me a week ago and asked

126
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: for the keys because he needed to get to work

127
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: again and it was raining. He apologized to me, saying

128
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: that it wouldn't happen again. I relented and gave him

129
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: the keys and he went to work.

130
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think you have to have a

131
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: conversation as like co parent, you know, yeah, as a team, yeah,

132
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: and saying okay, when when was the timeline? When is

133
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: he gonna get you know, yeah, he's back comes eventually

134
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: you shouldn't get his keys back?

135
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: No?

136
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: Never, No, you think never?

137
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: No, I'm joking. Oh yeah, wow, I am completely joking.

138
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: No, And eventually I think he should get his keys back.

139
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: But I don't think that you. I don't think this

140
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 2: is the answer. I think it has to be united front.

141
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 2: We're a team. You're getting it back when we say

142
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 2: you're getting back. And for the time being, I drive

143
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: you bus, you know, bike, et cetera.

144
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think there's some slip ups on both. Yeah.

145
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 1: So at least. My husband came home and without saying hello,

146
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: just asked where the car was. I told him I

147
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: gave the keys back to our son so he can

148
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: get to work. He used the same line on me, saying,

149
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: I told him and you heard me that he isn't

150
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: allowed to drive anymore, and he could have taken the bike,

151
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: bus or walked. I told him it was raining, so

152
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: I gave him the keys. I told him that he

153
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: apologized and said it would never happen again. My husband

154
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: cut me off and said an apology wouldn't stop an accident,

155
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: or bring him back from the dead, or bring other

156
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: people back from the dead. He hasn't learned a thing.

157
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: And I told him I paid half the car and

158
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: it was a gift from us to my son, and

159
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: I also have a say in what happens to him.

160
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: He looked at me and said, okay, fine, all parental

161
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: decisions will now fall to you. You're the authority on that,

162
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: so everything is now on your head.

163
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: Not liking this, so I don't like anyone in this story.

164
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is not good. The dad the least, but yeah,

165
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: the mom also made a slip up.

166
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: I think you know, I think I think she is

167
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 2: making a slip up here in like they're not having conversations. Yes,

168
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't know if she should have

169
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 2: given the sun those keys back immediately.

170
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: It's more important, Like I'm like, you can have teenage

171
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: jobs at any point in your life. The important thing is,

172
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: like we're understanding this lesson. Plus I would say.

173
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 3: The guy the kid waiting a week to ask his

174
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 3: mom and like it's raining.

175
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: Come yeah, come on. Since then, my husband hasn't done

176
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: a single thing for my son or any of the

177
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: other kids regarding discipline. When they ask for something, he

178
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: just says, go ask your mother, petty, petty, petty. Our

179
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: kids are having free reign around him, and he just

180
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: steps over any mess they make. And when I asked

181
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: him why he didn't stop our younger from writing on

182
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: the walls, he just shrugged and walked off.

183
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: I think everyone sucks in this story.

184
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: Dude. I tried to talk to him, and he said,

185
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: you got you what you asked for. No matter what

186
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: I do, you seem to be the authority on any

187
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: decision on our kids. So I just removed the middleman

188
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: and you can deal with him. And he walks off.

189
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: What do I do how can I get him to

190
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: help parenting our kids again. I'm at the end of

191
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: my rope and the kids aren't really listening to me

192
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: like they do to him. But he's just allowing them

193
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: from now on to do whatever they want edit mess

194
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: up the tight a little bit. I'm just exhausted and

195
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: can't handle everything alone anymore. Sorry. If the post is

196
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: all over the place, I just need advice, and if

197
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: the questions need to be asked, I will answer in

198
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: the comments. We have some relevant comments, but before we

199
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: get to those. Yeah, yeah, so you're feeling like everyone's.

200
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: Feeling it, like I think one. Obviously, this kid made

201
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: a pretty.

202
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: Big error, big message.

203
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 2: I think too. The dad reacted very aggressively with the

204
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 2: son and said, I think that if you want to

205
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 2: treat your child like an adult and you want to

206
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: show them you know that one there's consequences and like

207
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: you need to own up to your own actions. Yelling

208
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: at them does not get that across.

209
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: He's I feel like he's reacting childishly and kind of

210
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: like freaking out.

211
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I also and then on the third count

212
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: of a holdering, we have the mom who is not

213
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: being a team like not co parenting effectively. Yeah, and

214
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: I was also just giving back the keys to her

215
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: son even though no amends, no time has actually really passed. Yeah,

216
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 2: it's been a week.

217
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely don't like it, but I think I

218
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: empathize with the mom a little bit, just in ton,

219
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: not that she should have done that, but that it's like, Okay,

220
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: where do you draw the line? And I think she

221
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: instead of actually sitting down like you said, and not

222
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: only thinking through like okay, what's the timeline, like what

223
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: does it look like for him to get his keys back,

224
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: not only just in general but specifically with her husband.

225
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: That's which I think it's just like ineffective parentings on

226
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 2: both sides.

227
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: Yes, one hundred percent.

228
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: But people are saying it looks like a pattern that

229
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 3: she's under cutting. Way says, this.

230
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 2: Might happen, but also I mean that can be true,

231
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 2: which I think it might be true. But I still

232
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: I think that his reaction shows that they're neither are

233
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: communicating exactly, like it's like my way, my way, and

234
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: then they're butting heads.

235
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: If that's how he really feels, he should sit down

236
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: and be like, hey, look, every time you do this,

237
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: I feel it's like very frustrating. I feel undermined. It

238
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: feels you like, use my my efforts feel futile. Yeah,

239
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: trying to parent. So it makes me feel like I

240
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: just want to give up and just like give it

241
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: all to you. Let's figure out a solution. So it does.

242
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: I don't tell you to that place.

243
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: I agreed. I agree.

244
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, the dad feels very childish to me.

245
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 3: I don't like either of these you.

246
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: I don't like it, but let's close out with these

247
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: relevant comments. So from vom City, you made a pretty

248
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: fatal error in giving him back the keys. You couldn't

249
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: drive him to work, or he couldn't take the bus.

250
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: He's supposed to be learning about consequences and adult responsibilities,

251
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: and all he's learned is you'll give in if he begs. Yeah,

252
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: that is it's pretty bad hopeless parenting. Really, they say

253
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: A lorious Dan and says, this was my first thought.

254
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: Why did she just drive him to work? Clearly she

255
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: knew what her husband said and she undermined him, So

256
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 1: why would he discipline any of the other kids. If

257
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: she's willing to undermine him once, she'll probably do it again.

258
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: Reap what you sew kind of thing, and you can

259
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: always reap some great content by sowing your seeds in

260
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: our live stream every weekday at three pm PSD. Yeah,

261
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: join us.

262
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 2: But Macy Baker has a great comment the husband probably

263
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: shouldn't have yelled, but he either is the parent and

264
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: has equal rights to all their children or none of them.

265
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: If he just lets her parent the step son, then

266
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 2: he's saying he's not his. Yeah, it seems like that's

267
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: kind of the problem here is that she's like, this

268
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: is my Like that's what it felt like he was

269
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 2: when they had that argument and she was like, oh,

270
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 2: well I bought the car. It felt like she kind

271
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: of wanted to say, well, he's my son. Yeah, And

272
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: it's like if you're going to parent together, there has

273
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: to be you just have to have a conversation about

274
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: what is you know.

275
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: I didn't pick up on that. That is very good

276
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: observation because it's feeling more like because I was thinking,

277
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: she just made this. She just like wasn't thinking and

278
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: made this bad judgment hall in the moment. But with that,

279
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: it's like, oh wait, no, she always wanted to give

280
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: him the keys back and she just did it in

281
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: a very undermining way. Yeah, it's like it's two very

282
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: different scenarios. If it was like a lapse in judgment

283
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: she wasn't thinking, still very bad, not what she should do.

284
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: But it's a complete, a whole other world. Honestly to

285
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: me personally, if she's like, no, this is what I

286
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: want to do, here's the keys.

287
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 2: You know, agreed?

288
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: Agreed?

289
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 2: I honestly kind of I think they're both the eels.

290
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Like, guys, if you love us, make sure to

291

Speaker 1: subscribe We love you and see tomorrow. This is an

292
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: episode from Deep Within the Archives time for okop Relash.

293
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: My mother stole from my one hundred and forty thousand

294
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: dollars inheritance to send money to a Nigerian prince. I

295
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: thought that was it until I found out this happened.

296
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 4: Loki. That's like actually hilarious. It's like, you know, like

297
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 4: like a mom.

298
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: You don't understand technology.

299
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 4: It's like it's like the classic like older person that

300
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 4: doesn't understand technology, but except this time it financially the stakes.

301
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: Are through the room. Yeah, unless it's a real Nigerian prince.

302
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: I mean there's one person, there's one person that was

303
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: like very lonely Nigerian friends just like emailing people constantly

304
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: being like the plight of the Nigerian. He's like sending

305
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: back money like threefold, just like anyone who responded.

306
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, give me this friendship because he's just so lonely.

307
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 4: Oh goodness, you had the Internet strangers. Oh man, Actually,

308
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 4: I think it would be a really funny concept for

309
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 4: like a show like the Nigerian like a lonely Nigerian

310
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 4: prince trying to make friends on the Internet.

311
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: That's funny. Oh my god, that's right next to our

312
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: are no cribs? Yeah, idea to on, we're giving you

313
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,080

00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: Lonely Nigeria print coming soon to a YouTube near you.

315
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: I like that idea. So my father passed away from

316
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: terminal cancer in late twenty sixteen. All the way up

317
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: to that point he made me swear to him that

318
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: I would never give my mother a cut of the

319
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 1: will or anything after he was gone. Why Daddy ate

320
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: men some words saying I don't want her to have

321
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: a home, she can't have her own money. No, no,

322
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: delete all money. So she rob your mother? God please,

323
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: A terrible relationship even after the grave. But also I

324
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: would never elaborate as.

325
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 4: To why wait that father would never elaborate as to why.

326
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: He could never explain why they can't send their mother

327
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: any money. Oh okay, no explanations allowed, does op? No,

328
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: let's find out okay. I always felt at the time

329
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: that this is cruel and that my mother had done

330
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: her best to take care of him. He was older

331
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: and extremely sickly, but continue to work every day until

332
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: he retired. I was three years into college when he

333
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: passed away. My dad left me a sum of money

334
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: around thirty thousand that I received shortly into the new year.

335
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: So we got nice chunk liquid cash. Ooh. He also

336
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: left me my childhood home. Ooh. Yes, so we got

337
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: cash and house okay, okay, living good. Before I receive

338
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: the funds, my mother requested fifty percent of the inheritance

339
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: as it was quote what she deserved for taking care

340
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: of him. Low keyleg I like kind of that? Could?

341
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 4: I mean, like, what's the reason that she's not getting

342
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 4: the money? That's what I know this is these are

343
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 4: the piece of information that we don't have.

344
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: Yes, I was still devastated from his death and agreed

345
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: to this arrangement. Okay. So despite promising her dad to give.

346
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 4: Let me completely dishonor my dead father and get my money,

347
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 4: which honestly, like I might do too if I didn't

348
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 4: understand the reason exactly if it's like my dad suddenly.

349
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: I was like, don't give your mom any money? And

350
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: then he dies and then my mom's like, hey, can

351
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: you give me the money? And I'm like, oh, yeah, sure,

352
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: Like what what's the reason I understand why? Yeah, I

353
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: am going to do yeah, one hundred percent, I agree.

354
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: Actually just kidding, I'm taking all the money mom, and

355
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to Jamaica. Yes, I'm going to Nigeria to

Speaker 4: a weekend.

00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,920

00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: I just got to positive. How do you know? So

361
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,920

Speaker 1: proceedings over the years, which is about three thousand dollars.

363
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,560

381
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,520

382
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: hadn't been sent to the Nigerian prince had been consumed

383
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: in what she admitted to as drug binges.

384
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 4: Oh geez, So she literally spent it all in drugs

406
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: maxed out the card at seventy five hundred dollars. What

407
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: if she spent it on? When I questioned her, she

408
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: told me that she had given the card to her boyfriend.

409
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 1: Where's the boyfriend located? Dude, where's this boyfriend? Is his

Speaker 1: for that. I mean, that's at least you got that.

432
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: But as I never received my thirteen grand back from

433
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: my mother, I did not tell her this and demanded

434
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: that she make payments to me to make up for

435
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: some of the damage. So she's like, hey, you owe

436
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: me what would that be? Thirteen plus seven point five

437
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: twenty one? You owe me almost twenty two grand. Pay

438
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: me some of that back, so hopefully, Yeah. Now, she

439
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,719
Speaker 1: made payments occasionally and eventually I recouped only five grand,

440
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: which was in late twenty eighteen. But since twenty eighteen,

441

Speaker 4: I just want to thank blue Choo one more time

467
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 4: for sponsoring this podcast and make it the hard things

468
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 4: hard and our life easy.

469
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: Oh yes, back to the episode, onto the next part.

470
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: Even though the deed to the house has yet to

471
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: be completed. Oh now, my brother approached me with a

472
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: very agreeable deal to rent my childhood home from me

473
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: and has been making payments since.

474
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 4: Oh that's great, Okay, I hope he's getting some cash flow.

475
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: My mother didn't want to live in the home, but

476
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 1: she found out about this agreement and immediately demanded fifty

477
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: percent of the rent payments. What so you can spend

478
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: it on a more Nigerian princes? On what grounds? And

479
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: for what? For what?

480
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 4: I feel like, Op doesn't like like, okay, just say like, sure,

481
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 4: you can have fifty percent, but it's taken out of

482
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 4: the twenty one grand that you owe me.

483
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, that fifty is taking paying off your debt to me.

484
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: It's so going to me until yeah, the twenty one

485
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: and a half is done. Oh my god, OPI to

486
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: which I have been giving her thirty percent out of guilt.

487
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 4: No, Op, don't do that. Your mother is the worst

488
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 4: with money I've ever heard.

489
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: And like, you're giving her your credit cards thirty You

490
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: got to pay to himself. You gotta protect your heart.

491
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: Don't deserve and your finances. Oh my god, at least

492
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: your freaking big passwords run a minimum. Oh my god.

493
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: She put on the waterworks. So I gave her my

494
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: routing number again.

495
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh my god, Alm. She wouldn't send it to

496
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 4: any Nigerian princes.

497
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: She asked to borrow account that.

498
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 4: I know she was actually sending it to Lithuanian princes

499
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 4: this time.

500
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm doing the prince circuit. Now. I've

501
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: been working with lawyers to complete the transfer of the

502
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: deed to me, where it was revealed that the money

503
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: I've given her with the purpose of paying property taxes

504
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: has not been used for its intended purpose. Some of

505
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: those funds were for paying the property taxes that did

506
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: not happen. Okay, Now I'm dealing with thousands of dollars

507
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: of taxes I have to pay that I thought were

508
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: already paid, which should be split, which should be one

509
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: hundred percent from mom's take, which should even be a dake. Ah.

510
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: I told my mother that I would not be giving

511
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: her any of the rent until I was able to

512
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: pay off the credit card that I had to pay

513
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 1: for the taxes with. Yes, yes, fair. This did not

514
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: go overwell. I'm currently in talks with my brother for

515
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: him to buy the house off of me. Okay, which

516
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,239
Speaker 1: I am more than delighted to sell for around one

517
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: hundred and ten thousand dollars, which to me is has

518
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: to be a great deal. Yeah, a nice hunger change,

519
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: unless you're living in like you know, bumm f Nebraska, like.

520
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 4: I mean even there, like even there, I mean one

521
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 4: hundred and ten k for a house or a house

522
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 4: I don't know. I guess it depends where it is, depends.

523
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: But my mom expects to receive half of the proceeds.

524
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god, please stop Reddit. I want to forgive.

525
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: But would I be the a hole to take the

526
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: money from the sale and run?

527
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 4: I okay, think so? I don't think so.

528
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: We're going to give a very passioned breakdown. Yes, but

529
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, please let us know what you think.

530
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: Please please tell us that we're not insane in what

531
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: we're thinking. Let us know in the comments. Sam okay,

532
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: I gotta break it down for you.

533
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 4: So, I think I know the reason that the father's

534
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 4: dying wish was that he doesn't give his mother the money.

535
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 4: We have an idea because.

536
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: He knows how that how she'll spend it.

537
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 4: Oh, and it's going to be a Nigerian princes and

538
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 4: drugs and who knows what else. Op, I think should

539
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 4: still take care of his mother, but in a stipend

540
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 4: kind of way, right he should. There's there's thirteen thousand

541
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 4: that his mom owes him another set. Yeah, so the

542
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 4: twenty one and a half thousand, right, so that I

543
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 4: think that should be paid off. And I also think

544
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 4: that Op should get all of the proceeds of the

545
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 4: house but still help out his mother and say that like, hey,

546
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 4: you've shown that you cannot manage your money at all.

547
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 4: I want to make sure you're not in the streets. Yeah,

548
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 4: and so I'm going to keep this money and help

549
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 4: you out, you know, as you need.

550
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: And also you owly twenty one k. I think I

551
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: have a solution. Yeah, wherever they're living is probably cheap

552
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: of a house is one hundred and ten pay what

553
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: four hundred bucks a month? Five hundred and six hundred

554
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: bucks a month for rent somewhere, be like I found

555
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: a place for you. I will directly pay the person,

556
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: so you have a place to live, and I will,

557
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: like Amazon or like order your groceries for you online.

558
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: You have a place to sleep, you have groceries. That's

559
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: she that's all you need. Oh, he could probably do

560
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: that for well under one thousand bucks a month where

561
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: they live and then pay me back my money. So

562
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: I know that you're nourished in terms of housing and

563
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: food if you choose to run around get yourself evicted,

564
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: not you know, not take care of yourself. I eat

565
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: the food that's out of my can think. Yeah, that

566
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: makes sense. That's the most you can do and like

567
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: without enabling Yeah, I think so too. I think I

568
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: think that's a really good plan. But so like, all right,

569
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: would you all right, so she owes him twenty one k. Right,

570
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: You're we're obviously saying he sells a house, he keeps

571
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: the money. Does she do you think she pay like

572
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: she tries to pay back the money he's spending on

573
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: putting her up and the groceries, or she's just paying

574
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: off the twenty one k, you know, honestly for ops

575
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: or do you think she just absolves all of Yeah,

576
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: I think honestly, if I'm like, if this is like

577
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: what I would do, I would honestly probably be like

578
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to, like, you'll be chasing that twenty

579
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: one k for the rest of your life, probably, I

580
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: don't even want to worry about that. I'm just like look,

581
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: I'll pay for a decent place to live and decent

582
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: groceries every month. I'm not going to ask for twenty

583
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: one k. You are like I would probably say to her, like,

584
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: I cannot give you any money. I can buy place groceries,

585
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: but I cannot give you any more direct But you've

586
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: just completely, multiple times over burnt through my trust.

587
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 4: I think I completely agree with that. I think that's it.

588
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 4: But let us know what you think in the comments.

589
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: My boss fired me, so I told his wife about

590
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: his private meetings with his secretary. Okop, this is Okayop.

591
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 4: I'm Samuel Donner and I'm John Fry, and we tell

592
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 4: the funniest stories on the Internet. What is the closest

593
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 4: you've been to being fired?

594
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: Hmmm? Oh, there was one job where I was running

595
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: like basically digital ads, Facebook, Google, et cetera. And I

596
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: was very nervous at first because I had no experience.

597
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: And then I got to a point where I was like, Yeah,

598
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm crushing it, like I've learned it, I'm doing so well.

599
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: And then like so nonchalantly, the CTO who had prior,

600
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: who had previous to that been doing all of the

601
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: ads and stuff, he was like oh yeah, like once

602
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: since John started taking over, we lost ten thousand dollars

603
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: on this but blah blah blah. And then he kept

604
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: going nonchalantly and I was like, oh my god. And

605
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: so I went to him and I was like, what

606
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: was that thing about ten thousand dollars and basically like,

607
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: we made money overall, but there was ten thousand dollars

608
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: decrease from when they were running at there. There was

609
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: basically an area of the ads where it's like this

610
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: was completely like completely unnecessarily, dude, And it was right

611
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: at the point where I finally felt like I'm freaking

612
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: like I'm freaking crushing it, you know what I mean.

613
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: And then dude, I cracked my pants so hard. But

614
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: then he literally was like it's no big deal, like

615
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: he mentioned it so nonchalantly because it was actually not

616
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: a big deal. And again they made money in the

617
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: grand scheme of things, but this, you know, for this

618
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: one put it lost ten thousand.

619
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 4: But I was like, well, I have a story about

620
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 4: someone getting fired but then taking sweet sweet revenge.

621
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: Oh delicious. My boss fired me. So I told his

622
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: wife about his private meetings with his secretary.

623
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 4: About ten years ago when I was nineteen, I worked

624
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 4: for a regional grocery store in the meatpacking department.

625
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,239
Speaker 1: Eat yes, do you know where are?

626
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 4: Immediately? Pay was bad and I had a second shift.

627
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 4: I came in at three and left at eleven. It

628
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 4: wasn't a terrible job, all things considered. I had the

629
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 4: meat room to myself, the meatroom be in that meatroom,

630
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 4: and the meatroom all to myself, so I could listen

631
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 4: to music and really just not be annoyed by other employees.

632
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 4: My duties when I showed up was to package more

633
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 4: ground beef and other beef based products and put them

634
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 4: on the shelf after five. I also had to juggle

635
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 4: working behind the deli counter.

636
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: Well.

637
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 4: Shortly after getting hired, the boss of the meat department,

638
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 4: the Meet Daddy Man, Big meat Man, showed back up

639
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 4: from vacation and I was the new guy. Everything was

640
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 4: fine in the beginning, but I found when I would

641
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 4: clock in, the lady behind the counter we'll call her

642
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 4: V wouldn't be there and there would be a line.

643
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 4: So I would clock in spend the first thirty minutes

644
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 4: of my shift doing her job, no problem. I actually

645
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 4: liked that position, and then well after the line was done,

646
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 4: I would almost always see mister boss Man staring me down,

647
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 4: angry I'm not doing my job. He would give me

648
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 4: a rant about doing my duties unless customers needed my help,

649
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 4: and they almost always did, but he wouldn't listen. I

650
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 4: come to find out the reason V isn't behind the

651
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 4: counter is because her and mister boss Man are having

652
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 4: meetings in that meatpacking office with the door close. He's

653
00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 4: back in some meatback though, that's for sure my husband

654
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 4: or wife, not my problem. We continue this dance of

655
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 4: me covering her station and getting in trouble for it

656
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 4: for a few weeks until an ice storm hits. I

657
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 4: tell my boss I can't move my car out and

658
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 4: I'm waiting on a ride, so I might be a

659
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 4: little late. He proceeded to fire me on the spot

660
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 4: because this is.

661
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: The last straw. Uh what? Yeah?

662
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 4: By the way, I hadn't had any write ups. I

663
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 4: agree that it's fine because I hate this job. Anyway.

664
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 4: Fast forward two years, I'm twenty one and I'm celebrating

665
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 4: with my friends at basically the only local bar in

666
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 4: this terrible, tiny crap hole town. And then we walk

667
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 4: in and who do I see? Why if it isn't

668
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 4: mister boss and not V but his wife.

669
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: Oo.

670
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 4: He looks at me and tries to act like it's

671
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 4: a happy coincidence. I sit down, tell him it's my

672
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 4: twenty first. He buys me a beer as a gift,

673
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 4: and I chat him up. Enter my revenge. I introduced

674
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 4: myself to his wife and tell her how he treated me,

675
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 4: talking about how I would cover the deli counter almost

676
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 4: every shift for half an hour and then get in

677
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 4: trouble for it because it wasn't my job. No matter

678
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 4: how many times I tried, I kept telling mister boss man,

679
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have to cover deli if he and V

680
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 4: weren't having their daily lock door meeting in his office.

681
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: WHOA.

682
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 4: She looked at him, looked at me, and couldn't say

683
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 4: a word. It could be read as pretty crappy, but

684
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 4: his wife was super polite and friendly and not in

685
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 4: that crappy Southern religious style, but a genuinely nice person.

686
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 4: I'm glad I could help her pull the wool to

687
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 4: let her know her husband is complete garbage person.

688
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: Wow yep. The show was sponsored by Betterhelp Ohia.

689
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 4: John So we've read tons of stories that people desperately

690
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 4: asking the Internet to solve all of their life's issues,

691
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 4: from like friendships to significant others to work, basically their

692
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 4: entire life.

693
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, we've seen literally hundreds of these stories

694
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: and we absolutely love getting them. But you know you

695
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: listening right now, we deserve to get direct support with

696
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: what's going on in your life. I think.

697
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 4: Don't get me wrong, I love our show. I think

698
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 4: we give some great advice, but if you want some

699
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 4: more one on one health therapy is a great tool for.

700
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: That, and a great place to do that is Better Help.

701
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they have a questionnaire that matches you with

702
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 4: a perfect therapist.

703
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: And it's just the easiest place to do therapy. I think,

704
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: like there's no driving, the way to do it is

705
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:24,960
