00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: make a thousand dollars for a bit of work. I

21
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,159

26
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: All I'm gonna say is, if you've seen Extreme chief

27
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: skates on TLC, they do some they do some procedures

28
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 2: on their own, and it gets it gets a bit rough.

29
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, seriously.

30
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: Extraction Yeah yeah, it's bad, real bad.

31
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: Oh that's like that feels like like some sauce. Dude,

32
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: any anything teeth like that's I don't. I don't, I don't.

33
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: I don't want to be caught up in that.

34
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: Literally, it was like like three thousand for you know,

35
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 2: the full like numbing agent. You know, you're like all

36
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: you know basically the best you know, you won't feel

37
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 2: anything taking out if they just pull it manually. I

38
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 2: think with some local anesthesia. It was like one hundred

39
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: and fifty bucks. And then she was like one hundred

40
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 2: and fifty two expensive. I'm gonna do it for ten

41
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: dollars at home.

42
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: It's bad.

43
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: Did they get anesthesia?

44
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't think so. I don't think so. Yeah.

45
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: Wow.

46
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: And then and then she denied, like you know, the doctor,

47
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: you know, she's like, Okay, I'm not going to come

48
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: back for like another procedure She's like, could I have

49
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: your tongue depressors and cotton balls though? And he was like, no,

50
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: they belonged to me. She just asked doctors for their

51
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: every time she has to go to a doctor, she'd

52
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: always asked them for supplies.

53
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, holy shit, that's so bad. So although so like,

54
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: I mean I would I don't think I would do

55
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 1: any of the real surgery, like like any mouse surgery,

56
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do myself. But yeah, I feel like I

57
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: could take out like a lump in my leg.

58
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, Like is that simple?

59
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: Like Andrew Schultz famously said, uh, you could do heart

60
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: surgery just by watching a good YouTube video tutorial on it.

61
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I could. I could do surgery on myself.

62
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: Maybe I should try it? Yeah, has anyone else? Has

63
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: anyone done surgery on themselves? Let us know?

64
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: Oh, common below, common below if you can help help

65
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: guide Sam?

66
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: Yeahs here, Yeah, be my zoom doctor. How hard is

67
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: it really to do surgery on yourself? People in like

68
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, you know that show Lost People lost it

69
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: all the time.

70
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: So also, surgery is one thing.

71
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: This is just like a simple It's almost like a

72
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: like a just like a simple skin procedure.

73
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 3: I don't know the right word for it.

74
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, yes, it's just skin. Who pop it out?

75
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's like pimple popping. All right, let's go

76
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: into the story. This should be fun. So strap in

77
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: boys and girls. I was in NASAs Bahamas I'm guessing

78
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: that's the Bahamas and suffered a stroke unexpectedly. I'm young,

79
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: low thirties and an overall pretty active and healthy and

80
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: so a stroke was the last thing I would expect

81
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: to happen at this time in my life. Yeah that sucks.

82
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's awful.

83
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: So when the stroke hit the left side of my body,

84
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: I went limp. I wasn't able to talk, walk, or function.

85
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: It is similar to being paralyzed and all around sucks.

86
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: I imagine it sucks a lot. Yeah I would. I

87
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: would not recommend a stroke to anyone, just my non

88
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: doctor advice.

89
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: Hot take over there, hot take.

90
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: You know, I only had the hottest the hotel thankfully

91
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: called an ambulance, which brought me to a hospital. And

92
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: here's where the fun begins. Ladies and gentlemen, step right up,

93
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: step right up. Ont's listen to the story. My girlfriend,

94
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: let's call her Tea, went to give them my health

95
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: insurance card when I was admitted, which covers me internationally.

96
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: But the hospital refused my insurance and said I don't

97
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: have coverage and insisted on a cash payment or they

98
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: would not treat me. Wow, and you know, when you're

99
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: having a stroke, minutes count. So she gave them whatever

100
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: they wanted to treat me. This is when Tea gave

101
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: them my credit card. Important note t is not an

102
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: authorized card holder on my credit card account. She does

103
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: not have her own card, nor is she an authorized

104
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: signer or user on my account. She simply went into

105
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: my wallet while I was unconscious and gave it to them,

106
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: so I was not able to step in and deal

107
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: with the situation. I woke up hours later to Tea

108
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: crying by my bedside. She was explaining to me the

109
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: situation even though I was conscious. I was not able

110
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: to process nor had the energy to respond. She was

111
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: explaining that they would chase her tow the hallway for

112
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: five thousand, ten, twenty thousand at a time, whatever they could,

113
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: as if buying a used car.

114
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: Wow.

115
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: It was surreal and makes me so mad, But she

116
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: did not have any other options at the time. She

117
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: notified my parents who showed up a day later. My

118
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: father was raising hell about them not taking my insurance

119
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: when he arrived, but it was not the time to argue,

120
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: and he made arrangements to get me back to the States.

121
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: So they're charging him up the wazoo.

122
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, this is insane.

123
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: He is not an authorized user on my credit card account.

124
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: But she was doing what she thought was best for

125
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: me while trying not to let me die. I think

126
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: anyone else would have done the same. Yeah, I mean, like,

127
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: what else do you do in this situation?

128
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 3: What else can there?

129
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: Really is nothing else except trying to perform the surgery

130
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: yourself exactly.

131
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,239
Speaker 1: You know, just do the open heart surgery on your own,

132
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: pull up a YouTube video and freaking do it. Come on,

133
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: learn on the go. Who knows, by the end of it,

134
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: you could become a heart surgeon.

135
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:56,799
Speaker 3: There you go, new career.

136
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: That's called employable skills. Long story short, I was transper

137
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: or via air ambulance back to the States Pompano Beach, Florida,

138
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: where my health insurance took over. And now the dust

139
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: has settled, I have fifty five thousand dollars in charges

140
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: on my credit card from said hospital in the Bahamas.

141
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: Wow, oh my.

142
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: God, fifty five thousand dollars. Bro, that's like a lot.

143
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: It's like university debt right there. Yes, whole other degree.

144
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: A degree in having your money stolen.

145
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: And not dying. Yeah.

146
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

147
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: I have spoken to my insurance company and they said

148
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: the hospital should have taken the insurance when I was admitted,

149
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: but the hospital prefers cash because insurance companies will pay

150
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: discounter rates, whereas cash out of pocket is subject to

151
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: whatever the hospital charges. The insurance company will not reimburse

152
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: me for the full amount, as that is not what

153
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: they would have paid the hospital. Since T is not

154
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: an authorized user and she signed all the credit card receipts.

155
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: I already attempted to charge back the charges, but the

156
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: credit card company has rejected this as a claim, stating

157
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: I have benefited from the services at the hospit and

158
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: it's not considered fraud. So like what so? Like if

159
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: I go and freaking find mister Beet's card, you know, online,

160
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: and then put ads everywhere from mister Beet, since he's

161
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: benefited from it, it's not fraud, I don't think so.

162
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: Come on, guys, geez, easy.

163
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: Way to financially ruin someone steal their credit card information

164
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: and buy shit for them.

165
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

166
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, literally, it's like, huh, you can't do anything, now

167
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: buy a house run.

168
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to sift the hospital on their bill. Rather,

169
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: I want my money back and have my health insurance

170
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: company pay them what they should have been paid. My

171
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: blood boils knowing that they chased a grieving, emotional girl

172
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: for money. Knowing what they were doing, they took complete

173
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: advantage of the situation. So does anyone out there have

174
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: any advice or work for Bank of America Dispute Department

175
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: that can help guide me anyway? Or should I bother

176
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: contact your lawyer in the Bahamas? I assume I have

177
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: to deal with an attorney over there and not here, correct.

178
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: If so, a contact or advice on how to find

179
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: one over there would be great. Complete side notes on

180
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: where I'm at today. I'm in reh have full time

181
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: and started walking a few weeks ago for the first time,

182
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: and since the stroke. It's not a pretty walk but

183
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: gets me around. My left arm is still flaccid, but

184
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: starting to move, so I'm encouraged. The DRS think six

185
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: to twelve months to get full movement back and say

186
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: that being young is one of the advantages in rehab,

187
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: so I guess the silver lining is at least he

188
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: had his fricking heart attack when he's thirty and can

189
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: get most of his movement back.

190
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 3: There you go.

191
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: I type this post using voice dictation software. Apologies for

192
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: any typos, grammatical errors, or formatting. I suck with grammar

193
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: before the stroke and John, there is an update. But

194
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: what do you think? What should op do?

195
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: I mean, definitely like we are not like the premiere

196
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 2: experts in healthcare law or anything here, but I feel

197
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 2: like kind of what Opie was listing out, like contact

198
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: a lawyer in the Bahamas, keep calling around, like asking

199
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: all of these professionals like, hey, what are all of

200
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: my like viable options here to get the money back?

201
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 3: Because I feel like there is a way.

202
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: There has to be. I mean, that's really sketchy to

203
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: to prey on our grieving woman.

204
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: And I have to imagine they're doing this to everybody.

205
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 1: I mean, But also how often does I guess maybe

206
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,599
Speaker 1: pretty often for Taurus they don't have insurance and so

207
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: they're making them. But I guess it's like it for

208
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: for all the really serious ones. I guess they can

209
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: really take advantage of it because it's like, what are

210
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: you gonna do? You have to get our treatment or

211
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna die.

212
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 2: Or even or even like, you know, I broke my

213
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: leg right, Okay, it's not like life threatening or whatever,

214
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: but it's like, yeah, I want to get treated now.

215
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 2: And then they kind of pull the same thing where

216
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: they're like, hey, we can, we can fix your leg

217
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: right now, but it's it's gonna be thirty grand cash

218
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: or like on your car, and it's like what, like

219
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: and what are you gonna do?

220
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 3: You know, So it's like.

221
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: You can't really I think, but I think even in

222
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: like a broken leg, you can like call the insurance

223
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: or something. At least like with a heart attack, you're

224
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: not your every minute counts.

225
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 3: Was it a heart attack or a stroke?

226
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: A stroke?

227
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: A stroke? Yeah, but yeah, anything life threatening like that,

228
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 3: there's nothing you can do. Yeah.

229
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there is an update, John, let's get into it.

230
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: So update. United came through and paid ninety five percent

231
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: of the charges, but one hundred percent of the hospital bill.

232
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: They shorted me forty six hundred because the hospital overcharged me,

233
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: meaning the invoices added up to more than when they

234
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: ran their card. Hospital is a bunch of thieves. So

235
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: now I have to see if the hospital refund me

236
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: and overage or open a new dispute with b of

237
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: A Bank of America for the overage. Thank you for

238
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: all the advice life lessons have been added to the list,

239
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: so at least it ended up with not a fifty

240
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars bill.

241
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 3: I'm so glad to hear that.

242
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: And you know, like in the grid scheme of things,

243
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: even if OP can like definitely dispute and do and

244
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: you know, do your thing because also it's like just

245
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: on the principle of the overcharging and whatnot, OP should

246
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: find it.

247
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 3: But even yeah, if OP, if he gets their money back,

248
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 3: not bad.

249
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: Not bad. Going from fifty five K to forty four

250
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: point six K not a bad decrease. I mean, what

251
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: I would love to hear is I would love to

252
00:10:55,080 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: hear everyone's, like, you know, healthcare stuff. I imagine there

253
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: are some shit stories with the American healthcare system or

254
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: any healthcare system. So if you have any terrible experiences

255
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: like this, we'd love to hear them. I mean, my

256
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: small one is I was trying to get these lumps

257
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: on my leg remove. It's just like little fatty deposits,

258
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: and my dermatologists was like, oh, covered by insurance, totally fine,

259
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: and got it removed right, and then I came back

260
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: to get the stitches out, and apparently he was I

261
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: think this is pretty snaky. But the insurance covered the

262
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: opening of it and the removal, but the stitching of

263
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: it back and then the removal of the stitches was

264
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars.

265
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 3: Come on, how shity is that? Dude? That is so slid.

266
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, oh yeah, we can remove it no cost.

267
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: But if you want your if you want to be

268
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: stitched back up and those stitches removed, then it's going

269
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: to cost you.

270
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,120

Speaker 1: a lake and my wife and I plan on using

316
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: it as a vacation home and rented out on Airbnb.

317
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: The home needs a lot of work as it hasn't

318
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: been maintained before he bought it. We asked everyone to

319
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: come and take what they wanted. The house was filled

320
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: with decades of stuff. They took what they wanted and

321
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: that was the end of it. As we have begun

322
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: demoing an upstairs bedroom, we found a loose floorboard. After

323
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: removing some carpet under the floorboard, we found a metal

324
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: box with an old lock on it and a coffee

325
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: can filled with old coins. We cut the lock and

326
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: found two thousand dollars in bills from the nineteen sixties,

327
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: a pocket watch, gold cuff links, ruby earrings, sapphire and

328
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: diamond bracelets, and a pearl necklace. Dang got a good

329
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: haul for real. Based off of this, we think it

330
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: belonged to my great grandparents, who died in an accident

331
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty three. I called my mother and told

332
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: her what we found. She was shocked. My great grandfather

333
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: didn't trust banks and had hidden valuables all over the place.

334
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: Apparently a lot of people did this after the Great Depression.

335
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: My mother thought they had found everything. She is now

336
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: asking that we hand it all over, sell it and

337
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: split it between the family members. Mama, there's this little

338
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: thing called finders.

339
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 3: Keepers.

340
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: Don't know if you heard weepers cry loser, it's you.

341
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 2: I said I would give them the cash and the

342
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: antique coins, but I would like to hold on to

343
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: the jewelry to pass on to my future children. My

344
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: mother said that my siblings need the money because they

345
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: are both unemployed due to the.

346
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: Whole global situation. She considers what I found family properly

347
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: legally I purchased everything in the house, So I think

348
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: I am covered. My mom and uncle are saying we

349
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: can not come to Christmas if we don't hand it over.

350
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: So am I the a hole for not splitting the

351
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: lost family treasure anything?

352
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 3: Man?

353
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's break it down, right. They bought the house.

354
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: How much do you think it's worth? Put your answers

355
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: to the comments. How much you think this whole treasure

356
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: is worth?

357
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: Right here?

358
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's see.

359
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,479
Speaker 2: I bet there's some some like, you know, diamond appraisers

360
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 2: and things like that somewhere in our audience.

361
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 3: Breaking it down.

362
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: They bought the house.

363
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: They told everyone to come through and and check it out,

364
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 2: make sure they didn't they make sure they could grab

365
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: anything they wanted. But this was kind of like this

366
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: was like a hidden hidden treasure, right, Yeah, yeah.

367
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: It was. It was.

368
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: It was a hidden, hidden little treasure chest.

369
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: It's not like, yeah, it's not like you know, a

370
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 2: diamond encrusted you know, like a family picture or something

371
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 2: like that that you could have easily spotted and grabbed.

372
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

373
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna have to default with the law here.

374
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: OPI bought the house, and I'm assuming legally everything inside

375
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 2: of it, So I got a side with that.

376
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 3: I don't know.

377
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: I actually think if it was their grandparents, they probably

378
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: would have wanted the parents and inherit it, And so

379
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,479
Speaker 1: I think it's split. I think it should be split

380
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: among the family because it's like it's it's like I

381
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: tend to think of it as like what would the

382
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: people have who originally owned it, Like what would they

383
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: have wanted? And I think they would have wont it

384
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: split between the family.

385
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 2: I want to use the law to my advantage to

386
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: get as much monetary value.

387
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: As John is a pure unadulterated capitalist pig.

388
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, but uh no, I mean, bitch, you bring up

389
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 3: a great point.

390
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I think what's so tough about it is

391
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,959
Speaker 2: that the Yeah, I think you're right because like they

392
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: they hid it away, but then they passed away before

393
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 2: they could really like make a will about it. That's

394
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 2: what makes it so tough, is it's like hidden thing

395
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: that you know.

396
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, you know.

397
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: It's probably on op side. But I think it's a

398
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: dick move to not give it to your whole family.

399
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 2: I think you're right, and you could maybe strike a

400
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 2: deal with like I mean, I guess what did op

401
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 2: say you, uh, we want to have some of the.

402
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: We want to how to pass dowyans and the cash

403
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: and then you but we want to keep you guys

404
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: can have the coins in the cash, but we want

405
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: to keep the the jewelry. I think figure out, though

406
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: I feel like selling the jewelry kind of sucks, Like

407
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: I would want to remember my grandparents. I would I

408
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't think you should sell the jewelry.

409
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 2: Oh, like like what the parents? And yeah, because the

410
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: parents want to sell it for.

411
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,479
Speaker 1: Their or maybe buy out that you buy out the

412
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: other family members from owning the jewelry, or you know

413
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: you maybe don't say anything in the first place.

414
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 3: There we go, here we go.

415
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: I think I got to appraise it, divide the value

416
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: by how many people there are, you know, the parents,

417
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 2: the grain, children, et cetera, and then divvy it up.

418
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 2: And then yeah, if I think you have a good point,

419
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 2: if op does want to pass down, like maybe like

420
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: the sapphire earrings for example, buy out the rest of

421
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: the value for that and then pass it down, Yeah,

422
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 2: I think that that's the most fair thing.

423
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: But really, like who would have owned it? Would would

424
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: it would probably have been the the mother, So like

425
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: it's really her decision. I think probably, but like like

426
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: a morally, I think, yeah, yeah, that's the right I

427
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: putting it not legally, but actually we've we've covered this

428
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: kind of inheritance stuff in a story before. I think

429
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: we actually have a comment of someone's story, right.

430
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: You know we have.

431
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 2: This comment comes from MDS kV two RS. I have

432
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,719
Speaker 2: a family member that got inheritance and their partner not married,

433
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: just dating for seven years, spent.

434
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: Almost all of it, then left.

435
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 2: Oh that is rough, my goodness, and all of it.

436
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: And then oh my god, that people saying suck. I

437
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 2: think that the person was waiting for that person to

438
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: pass before they left the relationship.

439
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, people saw, people saw.

440
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:51,479
Speaker 3: People are terrible.

441
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 2: And I think that if you have a large amount

442
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 2: of money or assets, a prenuptial agreement should not offend

443
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 2: anyone unless that's what they were there for were in

444
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 2: the first place, ps my x oneted one and all

445
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,359

446
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: PS four. That is hilarious. That is hilarious and informative.
