Speaker 1: Right?

13
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: Oh you sound sound pretty good. I say you sound

14
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 2: ninety five percent Alexis. Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought too, like.

15
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: A seventy year old man to like a twenty year

16
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 3: old maybe.

17
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's better. What do you got for comment?

18
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: I saw one from Isaac who said, why do I

19
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: feel like Jeffrey wears a suit?

20
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: Whenever he's talking? He does give that air, doesn't he?

21
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 4: Yeah?

22
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: I can see that, which is funny because he talks

23
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: like he wears a suit, but he dresses the opposite.

24
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: I think he has four shirts. I think that's all

25
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: he owns, and one hat. There's always a hole in

26
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: them too.

27
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

28
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, very fancy that.

Speaker 7: You're just lucky, you know that addresses that's true.

31
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,000

00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: phone call started right now.

34
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 4: It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and we've dealt

35
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 4: with family drama on this show before. Has just last month,

36
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 4: I volunteered to give Alexis's younger brother the Birds and

37
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 4: the Bees talk.

38
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 2: I love that. And now high school now.

39
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 4: We already know, well now he just calls me, Dad,

40
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 4: what you really got close after that conversation. We understand

41
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 4: awkward family dynamics clearly, and we're dealing with one today

42
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 4: after something didn't go so right at a children's birthday

43
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 4: party a year ago. It was so bad that it's

44
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 4: still causing a rift in the family that we're being

45
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 4: asked to settle today. I'm probably gonna have to get

46
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 4: ready to explain how certain things work. But you'll find

47
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 4: out what happened in your brand new awkward Tuesday phone

48
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 4: call right after this.

49
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 7: It's awkward, It's Tuesday.

50
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 4: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. A few months ago, you

51
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 4: all might remember we did an awkward call for one

52
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 4: of our listeners who needed help, asking the best man

53
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 4: at her wedding to politely back out because they used

54
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 4: to date and her fiance wasn't aware of that past relationship.

55
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 6: Yes, she.

56
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: Want to tell us, right.

57
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 4: So we called the guy. Eventually they worked it out.

58
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 4: But now fast forward to today and guess who's emailed

59
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 4: the show asking for our assistance.

60
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: Does that mean we get an update on the wedding?

61
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 2: Did the wedding happen?

62
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 4: No, we're not going back. He has a new problem

63
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 4: that he wants to deal with. The best Man Brad

64
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 4: has called in for help with a different situation in

65
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 4: an awkward call, Brad, welcome back to the show Man.

66
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 5: Hey, thank you. Yeah, you guys kind of surprised me

67
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 5: on that last ones. I figured, you know what, it

68
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 5: could probably be helpful on this situation.

69
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were kind of the victim of the last

70
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: Awkward Tuesday, and now you're more the protagonist here.

71
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 5: I hope. So I don't really know what's going on.

72
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 7: He's not sure what protagonist means, Brooks.

73
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 4: So you got it.

74
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're the person who's calling needing help.

75
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 5: Thank you.

76
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, character energy, that's what I'm saying.

77
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 4: You're the main character of this Awkward Tuesday phone call.

78
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 4: So what's the situation that you're dealing.

79
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 5: With So this is a little more tame than last time,

80
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 5: for sure. But I'm just having an issue with my

81
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 5: sister Jenna right now. Quick backstory, I guess I'm divorced.

82
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 5: I have two kids, two boys, four and six. I

83
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 5: love them. They're awesome, hang out with them all the time.

84
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 5: They're my buddies.

85
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 3: Awesome.

86
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 7: Yeah you have to say that though pretty much, but.

87
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: Just in case the court's listening, I love them still,

88
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: I'm kidding.

89
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 5: It also has to do with the situation. So, like

90
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 5: I found out my sister's having a birthday party for

91
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 5: her daughter at her house. Uh huh, Well, like my

92
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 5: mom's the one that told me about it. She's just

93
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 5: like mentioning it, like obviously, like I was going, but

94
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 5: I didn't get any invitation about it. I didn't hear

95
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 5: anything about it.

96
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: Are you sure, because my husband's always like, I didn't

97
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: see that birthday invite.

98
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 5: Yes, that's what I'm saying. So I figured she's my sister.

99
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 5: She sucks at communicating anyway, So like I texted her,

100
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 5: I didn't like outle like say it, but I was

101
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 5: hinting at it. I was dropping some huge hints and

102
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 5: she didn't say anything, which made it even more obvious.

103
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 7: What you feel like you weren't invited to the party

104
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 7: on purpose.

105
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 5: I feel like I know the reason, and that's what's

106
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 5: so upsetting about it.

107
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 7: Really, there's a reason.

108
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 5: So like she's probably upset because last time there was

109
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 5: like any like birthday event in our family, Like I

110
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:51,119
Speaker 5: brought my kids and they were rowdy, I want to say,

111
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 5: a couple of boys. I mean, yeah, they were loud.

112
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 5: Yes they were knocking everything over. Yes, they have to

113
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 5: trash their trus on everything and whatever they is they do.

114
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 5: Like I don't get it, he asks, Like the four

115
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 5: year old he's throwing tantrums because he didn't win a game.

116
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 5: He's like screaming how he wants to be the rotten egg,

117
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 5: Like it doesn't even make sense. And then my four

118
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 5: year old is just pouring candy on the floor and

119
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 5: then eating it off the floor.

120
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 2: Your kid is doing that.

121
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 5: Both of my kids are doing both of those.

122
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 7: Off the floor.

123
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: So you're saying you think your sister isn't inviting your

124
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: kids to the birthday party because they're so misbehaved.

125
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I mean, like maybe I'm making it sound

126
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 5: like it's not like they were like lighting things on

127
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 5: fire or anything like God forbid. But no, obviously I

128
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 5: know they're misbehaving and like I know, I've had to

129
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 5: talk to them and stuff about that. It's hard to

130
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 5: crall to boys when they're running around by yourself, believe me.

131
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 5: But their kids and like their family, like, really, you're

132
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 5: gonna exclude them because like they were bad ones?

133
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: What do you think she'd tell you that, like sibling

134
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: to sibling.

135
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 3: But I think that's why, Like I don't have kids,

136
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 3: but when you see bad kids, you tend to blame that.

137
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if it's your family, you just have to

138
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: accept no matter what the behavior is. So wait, because

139
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: this is their cousin's birthday, right that they're not getting

140
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: invited to.

141
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 5: Saying I want them to see their cousin, like I

142
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 5: want them to be able to hang out. Like I

143
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 5: just need help convincing changing your mind.

144
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 4: I think, okay, okay, you're not going to do the

145
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 4: thing where you just show up uninvited and crash the

146
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 4: party like a lot of family.

147
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 7: Members would do.

148
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's such a little brother.

149
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 5: I want to they have a pool, like it'd be

150
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 5: really okay.

151
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: You want to do the polite thing, And actually it

152
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: sounds like call your sister and ask permission to bring

153
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 4: your children.

154
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 5: Yes, I would like to squash the beef as we

155
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 5: would say.

156
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: Okay, that's I feel like that's a mature move, like

157
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: actually talk about it in a family instead of just

158
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: everybody talking behind each other's backs. Your mom, you got

159
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: like four other group chats, don't include.

160
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 2: Each other in it.

161
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 4: Okay, but you feel like you're going to get pushed

162
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 4: back from your sister, and that's what you're looking for

163
00:06:59,400 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 4: advice on.

164
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, my sister can be terrifying a little bit. Yeah,

165
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 5: so wait, so what's the like mission, I get to

166
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 5: put it all out there so it's not awkward, and

167
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 5: then like I guess, like I would assume then it

168
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 5: would just be business as usual.

169
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: It's a little touchy too, because you don't want to

170
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: start more drama from a phone call like this.

171
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: There's already enough, it sounds like in your family.

172
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't want to be like I'm sorry and

173
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 5: then just assume I'm invited either.

174
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: Oh, you you actually want to apologize for your kids

175
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: behavior last time?

176
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 5: I mean, if you guys think I need to do that,

177
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 5: like that's what I'll do, But like I'll take your advice,

178
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 5: but I've tried that route and she's pretty stuck in

179
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 5: her way.

180
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean it sounds delightful.

181
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 4: It is her party, her house, her rules, so her pool.

182
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 4: We're looking for her blessing to get them over and

183
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: if she says no, then we'll unleash your children on

184
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: her house to finish the job that they started.

185
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: It's time of fire.

186
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, don't get out when you got to go

187
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: to the bathroom in that pool.

188
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: What their kids are going to pee in the pool?

189
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 7: Didn't get that, but I got it.

190
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 4: Anyway, We'll come with some advice for you and let

191
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 4: you make your awkward Tuesday phone call to your sister

192
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 4: to get your children invited to her daughter's party.

193
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 7: And your awkward Tuesday phone call coming up right after this.

194
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 5: Thank you? All right?

195
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 7: Man, hold on, it's awkward.

196
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 4: It's it's awkward Tuesday phone call. Scientists once claimed it

197
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 4: was impossible, MythBusters refuse to even test it. Wow, the

198
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 4: question could candy infuse children spend three hours at a

199
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 4: birthday party and be somewhat well behaved?

200
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 7: It's scary, you know.

201
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 4: Answer we do because it happened a year ago for

202
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 4: Brad when he brought his children, four and six years old,

203
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 4: over to their cousin's.

204
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 7: Birthday party and the two.

205
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 4: Of them ended up causing chaos and mischief. Yeah, it's

206
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 4: all the stuff little boys tend to do, so little kids, right,

207
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 4: And I need to ask you, Brad, didn't your children.

208
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 7: Break anything while they were over at their aunt's house.

209
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 5: I mean, there was a broken lamp when we were leaving,

210
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 5: but I didn't see what happened to it.

211
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 2: You're just like the boys watch responsibilities.

212
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 4: And She's like, yeah, own and his children did leave

213
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 4: with a light bulb that day, but you can't connect

214
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 4: the two of them.

215
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah, that's fine.

216
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 4: Now, maybe Brook has some advice for you before we

00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 4: call your sister and try to convince her to let

218

Speaker 4: your children attend this year's party, hopefully, Brook, What do

219
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 4: you think I mean?

220
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: I think when it comes to an older sister, what

221
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: you need to do is butter her up.

222
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 7: And this is getting really greass.

223
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying, make or feel good, make or feel wanted needed,

224
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: that's what all. Yeah, you need to take the angle

225
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: of You need parenting advice, okay from her the expert.

226
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,320

00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

Speaker 5: them to hone in and stuff.

296
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 5: Like that was actually funny. Come on, how was that funny?

300
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,560

301
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 8: The point is we are family, Like we should have

302
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 8: talked about this a long time ago and not let

303
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 8: it fester like this. I want our kids to hang

304
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 8: out like they're.

305
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,880

306
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 6: I mean I want that too, but it's just your voice,

307
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 6: Brad of offense. But they're like walking little nightmares.

308
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 5: I want to say you're wrong, but they are. And like, Okay,

309
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 5: I've done some stuff about it, and they've made a

310
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 5: lot of progress. Like I was looking on YouTube a lot,

311
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 5: and I found these awesome, like dog training videos that

312
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 5: they actually love. So I've just been using that. It works.

313
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 8: Brad. You cannot train your kids like dogs.

314
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 5: They act like dogs sometimes, So why wouldn't I just

315
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 5: watch these videos? Honestly, I can't imagine them licking themselves

316
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 5: in a corner.

317
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 2: You're talking about your own children.

Speaker 7: In the Morning.

326
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Brad, Brad, he reached out to us for

327
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 4: this segment we do.

328
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 7: It's called an awkward Tuesday phone call.

329
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, yeah.

330
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 4: He just didn't know how to handle this situation going

331
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 4: on where his kids weren't invited to your daughter's birthday party.

332
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 6: Well, if you saw what his kids did last year,

333
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 6: you would understand. People literally left the party early because

334
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 6: his kids were causing such a wreckage because of them.

335
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, yes, listen and you are the aunt

336
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: in this situation.

337
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 2: I think it takes a village.

338
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: You have to take some responsibility, right, it's also your

339
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: family exact in that way.

340
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 6: I only have so much control over these kids. I'm

341
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 6: trying to run a party. I can't be babysitting.

342
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 8: That's his job.

343
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 5: But not asking you like co parent or anything. But like,

344
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 5: if you have any like helpful hyinnts, that would be

345
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 5: super helpful.

346
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 2: I tell them the lead with that part.

347
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 6: But well, let's start by not using YouTube dog training videos.

348
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, good club, there might.

349
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 7: Be some merit in that you tell your kid to

350
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 7: sit and stay.

351
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 2: No, Jeff, No, no, no.

352
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, fine, But Jenna, can you help out your

353
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 4: brother here because he's kind of heartbroken over the fact

354
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 4: that your guys' kids aren't going to be able to

355
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 4: hang out for a birthday party.

356
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 7: It's important. They're family, and yeah.

357
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: They're yours nephews. Don't you want to help guide them

358
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: in the right way?

359
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 6: I mean, I would love to, but I also don't

360
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 6: want to lose precious, valuable furniture like the lamp Auntie

361
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 6: gave us before she passed.

362
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 8: Oh no, you can't prove that.

363
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 5: No one of us heard it break, So how did

364
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 5: it break? I didn't do it. He didn't do it.

365
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: The apple doesn't fall far from.

366
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 5: Bra.

367
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, I see where they get it from.

368
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 7: Really, Bra, you talk to your sister.

369
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 5: You really want to have them be those the strange

370
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 5: cousins that don't even know each other like these.

371
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 8: No, I want to be the cousins that we meet

372
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 8: at the park where.

373
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 7: They can't break.

374
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: Not your house, right.

375
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe maybe like get a bounce house or something

376
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 5: and they can just kind of like run alock in

377
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 5: that bounce house.

378
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 6: Curiously, That's all I need. Then the tip over that

379
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 6: bounce house with everybody else's kids.

380
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 8: I'm sorry.

381
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, okay, okay.

382
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: Is there any time before the party where the four

383
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: of you could get together.

384
00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 7: And like party.

385
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 5: I'll even bring talk with covered strawberries if you want,

386
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 5: like anything.

387
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 6: Oh you know how much I love topic cover strawberry.

388
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 7: Oh my god.

389
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 8: Okay, looks Brad.

390
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 6: You can bring the kids, but they cannot go in

391
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 6: the house, and that's your responsibility to make sure they.

392
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 8: Do not go in my house.

393
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 7: No, they can sing happy Birthday through the windows.

394
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: She has a pool, all right, Well that's.

395
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 4: That's a nice compromise that she's offering for you, Brad,

396
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 4: you're at least allowed on the premises bathroom outside.

397
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 5: I mean, we'll take it for now, and we'll just

398
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 5: figure out a way to get inside or something.

399
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 2: I don't kids know. They're going to do the opposite.

400
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mean those dog training videos don't work, all right.

401
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 4: The important thing is we're reaching a compromise here, and

402
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 4: it sounds like, Brad, your kids are going to be

403
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 4: allowed to attend their cousin's party.

404
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 5: Perfect. And that was before I bought them a leash.

405
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, hey, bring the leashes.

406
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 5: They might need to tie them up.

407
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, Jenna, you better be careful. It

408
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: sounds like these kids are gonna try to mark their territory.

409
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 6: I'm already knowing freaking Jeffrey in the morning.

410
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 4: Getting a lot of text into seventy eighty five nine

411
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 4: two saying that compromises even worse than where we started.

412
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 4: Having your kids stay outside the party and peek in

413
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 4: through the windows.

414
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 2: Come on, most of the party will be outside. They

415
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 2: have a pool.

416
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 3: I still worry about the bathroom now, especially with the pool,

417
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 3: where are the kids gonna go?

418
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: I worry about who's giving these kids boundaries because I

419
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: don't think it's a dad, and it's definitely not the

420
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: ant y.

421
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 7: Where's the mother. I'm invited to this clearly, but I

422
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 7: have a feeling.

423
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 4: Once they do get over to the ant's house, they're

424
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 4: gonna be okay. She'll either soften up and let them inside,

425
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 4: or she'll just be terrified that they're lifting up their

426
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 4: leg and peeing on the bushes from all those doctrin

427
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 4: and videos.

428
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 2: They learned it from their dad.

429
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 3: No, honestly, if they have a bad day and they're

430
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 3: not good kids, are they ever gonna be invited back

431
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 3: to their ant's house. There's a lot of pressure on.

432
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 2: We do need updates.

433
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Well, we'll stay in touch and we do

434
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 4: wish Brad the best of luck raising his kids. Good
