1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Dakota and this is Keon, your favorite

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Okay Storytime host, and we've got some great stories coming

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: right up.

4
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 2: But before that, we have a quick two minute break

5
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 2: from the sponsors to keep the show alive.

6
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 3: I confronted my best friends fiance about his affair. Then

7
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 3: he passed out.

8
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 4: That's the best defense you could ever have.

9
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 3: My best friend, thirty month female has been with her fiance,

10
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 3: thirty three male for over seven years. He's the father

11
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 3: of her youngest and he has been nudging her to

12
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 3: open their relationship and be polly, even though to me

13
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: it's always seemed more like a pass so he could

14
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 3: sleep around with her permission. Years ago, he even managed

15
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 3: her of account sending her spicy pigs to friends and

16
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 3: coworkers to get subscribers, and she went along with it

17
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 3: because he seemed proud of her. Oh my god, why

18
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 3: are you friends with this awful human being?

19
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: That doesn't seem like a good way to get you

20
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: a subscribe account up.

21
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 3: By the way, this comes from Exoxo dragon Fly, and

22
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 3: if you want to sumit your own stories, go to

23
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: the r slash oaka Storytime severed it.

24
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 4: I'm soviha, I'm Dakota.

25
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, I'm keyon.

26
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 3: Let's get into what Opie says. She has a stay

27
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 3: at home mom juggling three kids in college. She told

28
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: me she's scared of ending up in government housing again,

29
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: so she does what she can to make him happy,

30
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: even after catching him spicy texting other women repeatedly. This

31
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: is the saddest relationship I've ever heard of.

32
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 4: Maybe he's just you know, maybe he's just warming up.

33
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: Maybe he's just getting some reps in, you know, and

34
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: he wants to surprise her.

35
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 5: You know.

36
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 3: He has always said that he can't stop his nature.

37
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 4: I hate his nature.

38
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 3: So last year they agreed to have a girlfriend thirty

39
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 3: three female together and our Facebook official posting about family dinners, sleepovers,

40
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 3: and date nights. So on social media it looks like

41
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: an open relationship. A few weeks ago, one of his

42
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: longtime female gamer friends, I'll call her Emily, privately messaged

43
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: my friend and confessed she'd been in an emotional and

44
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: spicy affair with him for two years.

45
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: She's just trying to break up their perfect union, that's

46
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: all this is. Yeah, she's she's sabotaging their perfect life.

47
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: They're truly perfect life together She claimed they were planning

48
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 3: to meet for a trip this summer, which she had

49
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 3: told my friend was just a guy's trip. When I

50
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: asked my friend why she didn't respond to Emily, she

51
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 3: said she didn't want a spiral. She believed her fiance's

52
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: confession when she confronted him, and he said that Emily

53
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: was just a delusional friend, upset because he won't leave

54
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: his family for her, and she became too jealous. I

55
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: don't know how Opie is sitting here listening to any

56
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: of this and not just going absolute crazy town.

57
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: Opie's like, I can I could fix this, This could

58
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: be fixable.

59
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: If he's like, oh oh, it's like when you're listening

60
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 3: to a friend and they're telling you a story about

61
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 3: their life and you're like, oh.

62
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've had I've had some of those.

63
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 6: Yeah.

64
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: That did not sit right with me. So I messaged

65
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 3: Emily myself. Emily knew exactly who I was when I

66
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: messaged her, and she gave me everything. Screenshots, screen recordings,

67
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: photos of gifts and written sign love letters, proof of

68
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 3: video calls, snapstreaks. It was not just a fling. It

69
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: was a full on emotional affair.

70
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you what.

71
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: I didn't believe any of that until you brought up

72
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: the snap streak.

73
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, the snapscore. That's where it all lines up.

74
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: All that other stuff could have been AI tom foolery.

75
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: But you're talking about this snapstreak.

76
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 3: He can't fake that.

77
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 4: It's curtains.

78
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 3: I never planned to show this to my best friend,

79
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 3: as she had already told me she didn't want to

80
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: see Emily's twisted lies. But I thought he owed my

81
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 3: best friend the truth. So at the last cookout, I

82
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: told him I knew everything, that I had the proof,

83
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: and he needed to be honest and confessed to my

84
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 3: best friend the truth about his affair. He had a

85
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: full blown panic attack and fainted in the kitchen.

86
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 4: Nice.

87
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: Well, this guy's not cut out for this life.

88
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 4: I would like to think he actually did plan that.

89
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you can, like I mean, I don't know

90
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: if it would be your response. You can make yourself

91
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: pass out if you you know that's why you pass

92
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: out when you have a panic attack, do it or

93
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: as you start breathing like so, if you do that

94
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: too much, you will just pass out. And maybe he

95
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: just did that.

96
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: On how do I get out of this?

97
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: Yes, can't talk about it? If I'm not conscious, I'm

98
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: a nurse.

99
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 3: And I'm not exaggerating. He passed out cold. When he

100
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 3: regained consciousness, he told my best friend that I had

101
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: spoken to Emily and that I was blackmailing him. He's

102
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: like I was planning it all while unconscious, and I

103
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: came up with the best excuse.

104
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: He's like Doc Brown. He passed out and had a

105
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: vision of the flux capacitor.

106
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 7: Yeah.

107
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: He admitted he liked flirting with Emily, but that she

108
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: became obsessed with the idea that he would run away

109
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: with her. My best friend, who I've known for ten

110
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 3: plus years, chose to believe him and wants nothing to

111
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: do with Emily's obsessive proof. She says, I crossed a

112
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 3: line that I betrayed her trust. I get that it's

113
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 3: not typical for the uninvolved friend talk to the other woman.

114
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 3: I've never done anything like this before. I don't like confrontation,

115
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: and I don't pick fights. I genuinely wanted to protect

116
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 3: my friend, even if she didn't want to protect herself.

117
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: I didn't throw screenshots in her face. I just wanted

118
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 3: her fiance to be truthful, and I wanted to hold

119
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 3: him accountable. For his actions, given that I had the

120
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 3: proof to call out his lies. The thing is, no

121
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 3: amount of proof will get your friend out of this relationship.

122
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, out of her perfect relationship with no problems.

123
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,119
Speaker 3: Like this girl has already allowed him to take over

124
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: and maybe even start the of account.

125
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 4: This girl has found her perfect forever man.

126
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they are going to conquer the world together

127
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: as entrepreneurs, and there's nothing you can do about it.

128
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 3: My best friend has made her peace with staying with

129
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: him for the kids, and I've come to accept that.

130
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: But I can't stand him manipulating her because his cheating

131
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: has destroyed her time and time again. And I'm there

132
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 3: babysitting their kids so that they can talk things out.

133
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 3: So they have kids, of.

134
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 4: Course they do. Their life is Sophia.

135
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: They've got a.

136
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 4: What are you not understanding about their perfect life? Of course?

137
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: They have two little astronaut kids who are also lawyers

138
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: and accountants and football players.

139
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 3: Sure.

140
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: By the way, this guy's six foot ten yeah, three

141
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: and eighty pounds pure muscle. Yeah, and she is the

142
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: second coming of the Nephertari never TD Yeah, yes, yeah,

143
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: I said not some kind.

144
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 4: Of She was a She was a cloning goddess right. Oh, no,

145
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 4: she was a queen.

146
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 3: I thought you were talking about the African queen.

147
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 4: I was trying to go mythological, but I think I

148
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 4: did say it real.

149
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I mean Egypt. You say Egypt not a

150
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: real place.

151
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: No, I said Egypt and Africa because I was trying

152
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: to remember where that queen was from.

153
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 4: More fun, completely true things coming from me.

154
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 2: No one is really sure Egypt exists.

155
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 3: How did they make all those pyramids?

156
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 4: Right?

157
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: Where'd they get all? That's sad thinking about it.

158
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 4: You've only ever seen pictures of them.

159
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 3: Since all of this, she and her girlfriend have pulled

160
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 3: away from me and don't react to my reels in

161
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 3: the group chat. I wasn't invited to a reason birthday

162
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: party for one of her kids, nor the upcoming Fourth

163
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 3: of July cookout that they host every year where I

164
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: help with potluck. I don't know if I did the

165
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 3: right thing. I just know I feel awful. I acted

166
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: out of love, not revenge. I wasn't trying to run

167
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 3: her life, but to make her fiance accountable For once.

168
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 3: I just couldn't stand watching someone I care about be

169
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 3: lied to like that. But maybe that's not what a

170
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 3: best friend should do. And we've got some more relevant

171
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: comments from Ope, but any thoughts.

172
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, on a real level, you can only show someone or.

173
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 4: The horse the horse. Yeah, the horse wants water when

174
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 4: it wants water, Yeah, you can't make the horse want water.

175
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: I just recently learned that cows are being hit by

176
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 3: stray voltage.

177
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 4: Just the last thing I could.

178
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 5: Have ever exped Cows are.

179
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: Being hit by stray voltage when they go to drink

180
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: water because of power lines, and so now they don't

181
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: want to drink water. It is stray voltage, like the

182
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: power line. Like you know how Keon gets hit by

183
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 3: stray voltage and he shocks himself.

184
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 4: It's shocked by everything in this room.

185
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: Yes, so that's happening to cows, and now they won't

186
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: drink water because they're shocking themselves every time they go

187
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: to drink water. And that is OPI's friends.

188
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: So what I got from that is you're calling me

189
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: a cow.

190
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 3: Yes, OHPI says, I know she's not going to leave him,

191
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 3: And I never thought anything I did would break them up.

192
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 3: That was never the goal. What really got to me

193
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: was sitting there while he twisted the story and bashed

194
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 3: Emily someone who's been in his life long before he

195
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: even started dating my best friend. He was sugarcoating everything

196
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: to protect himself, and I called his bluff. It's not

197
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 3: my relationship, not my monkey, not my circus. But at

198
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 3: the very least I intervened to pressure him to be truthful, honest,

199
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: own what he did. I own what I did and understand,

200
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: and I overstapped. You had an overstep, ind a overstep.

201
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: These people are just willfully they're I mean, they're not

202
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 3: your monkeys because they're they're covering their eyes.

203
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 2: Well, they're not your monkeys because you didn't buy them.

204
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 2: There's a long, complicated process to own monkeys.

205
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 4: In this country.

206
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you can't.

207
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know, man.

208
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: I think I would just try to get like if

209
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: I'm still gonna try, Yeah, I would try to get

210
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: him to admit it by making some sort of like

211
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: maybe like a you know, a fake account. But then

212
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 2: like even if you do that, what your friend's gonna

213
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: do is then just go, this is actually your fault

214
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: and the only reason you're the reason that this happened,

215
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 2: and he you you tricked him into entertaining this nonsense

216
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: and spicy flirting and doing all this stuff through you

217
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: know text.

218
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, The problem is that this woman is in

219
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 3: a cult of too and she will believe anything. This

220
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 3: guy says, No, I'm no matter what anyone tells her

221
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 3: shows her. Uh commenter, your friend told you she didn't

222
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 3: want to know, and you stuck your nose in it. Anyway,

223
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: No wonder she doesn't like you anymore. And Opie says,

224
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 3: Oh the shade. She's hurt, overwhelmed, And I was the

225
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 3: only one who didn't go along with the version of

226
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: events that made it easier to cope. Sad situation all around.

227
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 3: It was the first and probably the only time I

228
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: ever stepped into their dynamic and relationship or addressed his cheating.

229
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 3: And yeah, I got burned for it. Someone reminded me

230
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: you can lead a horse to water, but you can't

231
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 3: make a cow drink it. Opie says. Met up with

232
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: my best friend Saturday to talk things out. She had

233
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: already asked me to block as a fair partner and

234
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 3: to delete the proof. Oh my lord, stop being friends

235
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: with this person. At the coffee shop, she told me

236
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: she thought I was trying to break them up by

237
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: blackmailing her fiance, but that was never my intention. I

238
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: explained that I only reached out to collect the proof

239
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 3: and hold him accountable for his actions. She told me

240
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 3: she hated what I did and felt betrayed because I'm

241
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: like a sister to her, which really hit hard. I

242
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 3: apologized for going behind her back and talking to someone

243
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 3: else about a relationship, but not sorry for confronting her

244
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: fiance directly. She shared that he's been more open with

245
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 3: her about details surrounding his emotional affair, and that he

246
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: ended things with Emily, which is what made her expose

247
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 3: him reach out to my best friend in the first place.

248
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 3: My friend didn't want me to compare notes, nor confirm

249
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 3: or deny what he's been telling her. In the end

250
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: of all this, I learned my lesson and apologize to her,

251
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 3: but I won't apologize to her fiance. She just wants

252
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: us all to bury this and move on. She got

253
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 3: me up on the last few weeks and even added

254
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 3: me into this year's July fourth group chat. I told

255
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 3: her I understand boundaries moving forward, and I will stay

256
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 3: out of their relationship issues, hoping their girlfriend can fill

257
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: in those shoes as I'm stepping back. Thankfully, they also

258
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 3: decided to tell their girlfriend what happened, and she's totally

259
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 3: fine since no physical intimacy happened that you know of.

260
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 3: That's just so oh, I hate this. She was annoyed

261
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 3: she had to find out so late in the game

262
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: and talk to them about her expectations on mutual respect

263
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 3: and emotion intimacy. But their girlfriend isn't happy with me,

264
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 3: saying I'm distrustful. God, these people suck, but I'm hoping

265
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 3: things can eventually settle. They're all focused on rebuilding the relationship,

266
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 3: being more transparent with their girlfriend, and prioritizing the kids.

267
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: I do plan to spend the fourth with them, but

268
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: not sure what will happen this fall with holidays. And

269
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 3: we have an update a month and a half later.

270
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 3: But girl, what are you doing? Like, why are we

271
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 3: apologizing to these people?

272
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 2: Yeah?

273
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 3: What's happening? Update? So, he's still been talking to Emily

274
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 3: behind her back, and he's been applying to jobs in

275
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: her town. Because of that, my friend and her fiance

276
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 3: decided to call off their engagement and are breaking up.

277
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 3: Trying to recover from all of this hasn't been easy

278
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 3: for them, understandably, so he refused couple's therapy and their

279
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 3: trouble girlfriend.

280
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 4: Truble truble tule. You gotta have a throw an chin there.

281
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: Girly decided to end things with them a few weeks ago.

282
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 3: I have kept my distance but still saw my friend

283
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 3: a few times this summer. She can fast that they

284
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 3: haven't been intimate at all since the drama started, and

285
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 3: we're basically just trying to hold things together for the kids.

286
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: That's a less that's interesting. We're doing We're doing this

287
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: for the kids.

288
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 3: He told my friend he'll keep paying the bills till

289
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 3: the end of the year if she agrees to give

290
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 3: him full custody of his biological child. That is a

291
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 3: deal with the devil. That is like a witch's freaking

292
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 3: like handshake.

293
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 6: I'll give you what you want.

294
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 3: If you give me your firstborn child. Don't take that.

295
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like the goat whispering, like what dost thou desire?

296
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, is this rumpel still skin? Don't don't don't

297
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 3: do that. After that, if she doesn't find a job

298
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: that covers the mortgage, then they're putting the.

299
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 6: House up for sale.

300
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: Please tell me she didn't do that.

301
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 6: Person is terrible.

302
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 4: Oh boy, oh boy, we got another update. Oh boy,

303
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 4: oh boy.

304
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 3: Update over seven months later from the mini update, my

305
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: best friend chose to forgive her fiance, who's surprised. No one,

306
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 3: not me, But it feels like the hurt and distress

307
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: got redirected at me instead. I became the scapegoat who

308
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 3: is shocked. Crickets, crickets. She said she can't trust me anymore.

309
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 3: Why are you shocked, girl?

310
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 4: I'm the shocker.

311
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 3: We don't talk about a relationship anymore because I told

312
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 3: her something she didn't want to hear.

313
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 4: That.

314
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 3: She's been changing herself to keep her fiance happy because

315
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 3: opening the relationship is the best way to keep him

316
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 3: from leaving. She agreed to open the relationship, and he

317
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 3: found them a by girlfriend with whom the fiance performs

318

Speaker 3: fiance wants to do more things that add more women

323
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: to the mix, causing my friend to have panic attacks

324
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 3: as she wants him to slow down because she's not

332
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 3: for me as her friend in her life. Oh, that

333
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: girl's hanging on by a thread. Why would you think

334
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: she has any time for anything else.

335
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 4: I don't think that's what you are anymore.

336
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 3: You're not her friend.

337
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: That she's living in her own little self contained or she's.

338
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 3: Living in a war zone right now, and she does

339
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 3: not have time for anything else.

340
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 8: I'm surprised they just haven't asked op, Like, you know what,

341
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 8: let's flip the switch, join in, Like, come on in.

342
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: She's like, if you can't, the water's warm.

343
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 3: What's the thing If you can beat them, join them.

344
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's get a quadruple hurt that she.

345
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: Did absolutely nothing for my birthday last month. Ope, this

346
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 3: woman is on her last leg. She is she is

347
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 3: the freaking I don't know, like she's just not doing good.

348
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: I don't even have a metaphor that I similarly that

349
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 3: I could use in this.

350
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: Moment, it's giving the Titanic like it's that iceberg. She is.

351
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 3: She is the violinist on the Titanic, slowly sinking with

352
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 3: the ship. She does not have time for your birthday.

353
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 3: She keeps making excuses. Her birthday is this summer, and

354
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 3: I feel like I have to match her absent efforts.

355
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 8: I would run away as far as possible from that mess,

356
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 8: because that just sounds.

357
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 3: You know when you're watching a movie and there's a

358
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 3: character in the movie that thinks they're the main character,

359
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 3: but then they like, I don't know, like immediately get

360
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: like ko, they're gone, but they think they're the main character.

361
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 4: I feel like you're talking about a very specific no.

362
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 3: No, Like any movie like it starts.

363
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: Off name three Stream.

364
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: Drew Barrymore, you think like that, Oh, that's the main character.

365
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 3: I can't think of any other ones, but like where

366
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 3: like where like an NPC type person like starts off

367
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 3: the movie and you're like, oh, that's the main character,

368
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 3: and then they're.

369
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: Okay, So like Elijah Woods when he's the guy in

370
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: SPI Kids.

371
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 3: Three, Yeah, sure, Pacific Room, Yeah, and you're like, yeah,

372
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: that's the main character. That's what ope, thinks she is. Yeah,

373
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 3: you're not the main character, and please get out of this.

374
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 3: I don't want anything to do with her fiance since

375
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: the affair, but have tried to sympathize that my friend

376
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 3: doesn't want to break up their family. I was decent

377
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 3: at their kids recent birthday party, but recently talking to

378
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 3: her on the phone, he inserted himself into the conversation

379
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 3: making suggestions on my relationship, so I hung up. He's like,

380
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 3: you need to add more people into your list.

381
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: That's crazy.

382
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 3: Working so well for us.

383
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 8: Our ship is so afloat right now. It's doing so great.

384
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 8: You know what you need to do? Do the same

385
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 8: exact thing.

386
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 3: She said. I need to lose the attitude, and I'm

387
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 3: just don't want to interact with them because of that.

388
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 3: She told me has refused to watch their kids when

389
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 3: I've asked to make plans because he says I'm not

390
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 3: a real friend. At this point, I'm accepting that I'm

391
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 3: not the enemy, but I am being treated like one

392
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 3: as I'm not drinking her fiances kool aid. One says, Okay,

393
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: what did you think what happened? Thank you? Even telling

394
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 3: the truth is gonna get you d because humans are

395
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 3: like that, Opie says, versus rodeo for me through I

396
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 3: thought my best friend deserved the truth, even offered her

397
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 3: fiance the chance to come clean, But in the end,

398
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 3: she never wanted to know the truth. She just wants

399
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 3: to forgive and forget. And two says, you can't save

400
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 3: a person from drowning when they willingly jump into the

401
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 3: ocean time and time again, You'll just end up going

402
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 3: under with her, And Opie says, this is the reality

403
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 3: she's choosing, and they're trying out this throple relationship. They

404
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 3: have specific nights for each person and prioritize Sunday as

405
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 3: their full family night. I used to help with babysitting

406
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 3: unpaid on their date nights, but given all that's happened,

407
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 3: I'm relieved that in the past six months, I have

408
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: not been asked to babysit. Would you accept if they asked?

409
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 4: I mean, like on it?

410
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: Like the point of like just cutting this thread has

411
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 2: long passed us.

412
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, I know their girlfriend helps with that.

413
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 3: Now is they reward her with flowers and gifts coming

414
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 3: back from the date as there he is constantly posting

415
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 3: appreciation posts on social media. Now, did they just invite

416
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: someone into their relationship to babysit their kids.

417
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

418
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 3: They want to bury his mistake of what happened and

419
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 3: not discuss any of it, So any discussion won't be

420
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 3: appreciated because then I'm not dropping the issue. I have

421
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 3: never inserted myself into the relationship in all these years

422
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 3: until that day, but I've been there time and time

423
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: again when she was beside herself crying because he cheats

424
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 3: and sleeps around. This time was the worst affair yet.

425
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 3: While this development is the fiance wants to get a

426
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 3: vasectomy when both my best friend and the girlfriend both

427
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 3: already had a hysterectom. I wonder why he wants that? Hi, Hi,

428
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 3: I wonder why, Oh my.

429
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: God, all these people just blew in from stupid towns.

430
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 3: No like, no babes, No babes. You don't understand.

431
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 4: I'm doing this for you.

432
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 3: It's like when you shave your your hair off when

433
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 3: someone else has cancer. That that's what he he's telling them.

434
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: My friend got pissed with me because I told her

435
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 3: directly to her face. He wants to remove the consequences

436
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 3: of pregnancy and not wear protection when he sleeps around.

437
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: Wow, it's like always another, always adding another line. Yeah,

438
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: that sounds like a fun cake or like a fun lasagna.

439
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 2: You know that nice little guy lasagna that maybe so mad,

440
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,280

00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 4: But there were no plans.

446

455
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 4: I'm Dakota, I'm Sophia, I'm Keon. We're gonna read this story.

456
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 2: We might have some advice, we might give it in

457
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: a goofy manner. We don't have all the answers because

458
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 2: I've never been through this, but if you've been through

459
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 2: something like this, or you just want to tell me

460
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 2: what your day's been like today? Tell us in the comments,

461
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 2: and OP says my native honor. Caroline is the friend

462
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 2: I've had since birth. Our moms were best friends growing up,

463
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: and though they aren't anymore, and that falling out happened

464
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 2: well before my engagement, so it wasn't related to any

465
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: of this. Caroline and I have had many falling outs

466
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 2: over the years fun She was defensive and harsh with

467
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 2: people in general. She defended me around some people, but

468
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: was also my bully around others. Both of our mothers

469
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,239
Speaker 2: behaved similarly, so it seemed normal growing up. Once we

470
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: were old enough, I recognized that it wasn't normal, and

471
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: we fell apart again.

472
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 4: I kept my distance but supported her from a far.

473
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 4: I would whisper into the night. I said, I want

474
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 4: good things for Carolin.

475
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 3: I don't want to be near.

476
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 2: Her, but I want good things for You've thrown messages

477
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: into bottles, into those I want.

478
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 3: Caroline to be I hope that's enough.

479
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 4: May this message find you well.

480
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 2: She started therapy, cut her mom off, and I genuinely

481
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: saw a lot of progress. He reconnected slowly. I'd visit

482
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: her at her local business and buy something small every

483
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: week and support and have a little chat. We talked

484
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 2: about how nice it felt to be growing up and

485
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 2: moving past things. So when I got engaged, I thought

486
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 2: it would be meaningful to have her by my side

487
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: as my childhood best friend.

488
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: Things started off great.

489
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 4: Everyone seemed to get along.

490
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: The engagement dinner went smoothly, and so did the bridal shower.

491
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: Then we began planning the till Passing Halloween Party, which

492
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 2: was meant to include games in a costume contest with

493
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 2: a dollar per vote. We planned to make it an

494
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 2: annual tradition, with the funds going towards a small honeymoon

495
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: fund and in future years going either to the winner

496
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 2: or to someone in the friend and family circle who

497
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 2: could use some extra help. That's when the group chat

498
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 2: became tense. Caroline snapped at Anastasia. When Anastasia was asking

499
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: for information and reaching out to me for help with something,

500
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: Caroline said, this is why we don't need to do that.

501
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: She doesn't need anything else on her plate. You can

502
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: literally wait until Monday, but my child needs me right now.

503
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: I don't have time for you. Anastasia replied, wow, rude.

504
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: Match you're not the boss with me?

505
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 6: What's going on in your chat?

506
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean technically in the context of a

507
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 2: maid of honor, maybe.

508
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 4: A riddle baita of their boshah.

509
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 3: But she's not telling you any information.

510
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 4: She's not really being a boss, She's just being rude.

511
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 3: Yeahikes.

512
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: Sylvia jumped in and told Caroline that she understood she

513
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 2: was busy, but that she had been out of line.

514
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 2: Caroline then sent a long reply, telling everyone they were

515
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 2: lazy and unhelpful and Anastasia's idea was tacky and that

516
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 2: she was there to make my day the best it

517
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 2: could be. She offered to meet up and reassigned duties

518
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 2: since no one had volunteered the last time.

519
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 4: And she made it clear she wasn't there to be liked.

520
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 4: Oh that's great, you aren't.

521
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: She ended with, we can work together and be friends

522
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 2: or work against each other. I'm gonna match energy either way.

523
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: Are again, scream the girl? Where are you at?

524
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 2: You need to be texting her like, hey, can you maybe,

525
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, not go to war with every one

526
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: of my friends?

527
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 4: Yeah that'd be great.

528
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, this is a crazy.

529
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: Anastasia fired back, telling Caroline she had been rude, unkind,

530
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 2: and controlling the entire time, and was ruining the fun

531
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 2: of being a bridesmaid.

532
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 4: He added, don't worry, I match energy too.

533
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: Is that a threat?

534
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 3: This is so weird that stumm it?

535
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: Are you threatening me? Master Jedi.

536
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 2: Vanessa, who was newer to the group, simply wrote, I'm

537
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 2: new here.

538
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 6: Wow.

539
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 8: This is like, oh I'm scared, and that's where you

540
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 8: ween out the weak. Yeah all right, that's the fresh meat.

541
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

542
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 2: Sylvia followed up, saying no one is intimidated by you,

543
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 2: but you do make comments that are insensitive and everyone

544
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: picks up on them, apparently except for you.

545
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 4: Melissa sent a single flower emoji. Dang, she said, the

546
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 4: wilted flower emoji.

547
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, that was I'm friends with Melissa. Love Melissa.

548
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 2: Let's hang out. That's that was hilarious. I still don't

549
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 2: know what kind it was. That's when I came back

550
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 2: to my phone after curling my hair for work and

551
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 2: asked everyone to take a breath and to break from

552
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 2: the chat. I reached out to Caroline privately and told

553
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 2: her that she had been rude when she snapped, and

554
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 2: then continued to be rude when Anastasia snapped back.

555
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 4: I said both of.

556
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 2: Them had been unkind and that I felt they both

557
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: owed each other in apology.

558
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 4: I asked whether she thought she owed Anastasia one and

559
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 4: she said no. Her reasoning was.

560
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 2: That Anastasia had attacked her character and was speaking on

561
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: behalf of the whole group.

562
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 4: She told me she was sorry I had to deal

563
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 4: with stress, but she wasn't sorry for what she said.

564
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 2: I told her I couldn't make her apologize since she

565
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: was an adult, but that I believed that she should.

566
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: We also discussed the party. She had been handling the

567
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 2: bulk of the organization, but I told her I wanted

568
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 2: to take it on myself because I wanted to be

569
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 2: more involved.

570
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 4: She then said she no longer wanted.

571
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: To host it at her place because she didn't want

572
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 2: that negative energy and her hom Girl.

573
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 4: Your home is a black hole of negative energy. What

574
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 4: do you live on?

575
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: You live in?

576
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 2: I had a nearly identical conversation with Anastasia. I understood

577
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 2: why she responded the way she did, but I still

578
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 2: believed both of them should apologize. She echoed Caroline's sentiment

579
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 2: almost word for word. She was sorry I was dealing

580
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 2: with the fallout, but wasn't sorry for what she said.

581
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 4: I told her the.

582
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 2: Same thing I told Caroline. Then I addressed the group.

583
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 2: This is copy and pasted directly, with only the dates

584
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 2: and locations changed or removed.

585
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: Oh, getting get sassy? You ready?

586
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 3: That's it.

587
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 2: I would like to dress what happened on front, but

588
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 2: first I want to let you all know that I

589
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 2: love you. And while I love you and you love me,

590
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: you don't have to be best friends. But we all

591
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 2: should be respectful. We are all adults, and I'm not

592
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 2: going to referee anyone. If you have an issue, either

593
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 2: let it go or go directly to the source of

594
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 2: the issue respectfully to try and resolve it. Please don't

595
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 2: let things build up and explode. It's not healthy. No

596
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 2: r is it fair to the others. With that being said,

597
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 2: we are moving forward. Some changes have been made for

598
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: the Halloween party. This will be held at our home.

599
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 2: Food responsibilities remain the same, and the groomsmen responsibilities to

600
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: help set up remain the same. Caroline is still doing

601
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 2: the invitations and has the list. I triple checked it

602
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: before giving it to her this time. I believe those

603
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: are still going out tomorrow with the updated address. Correct

604
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong, Melissa if you'll get with me

605
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 2: regarding any decours you already had in mind, I would

606
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: appreciate that. Charlie has also volunteered to make some steak bites,

607
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 2: so Anastasia, he should be getting with you and Andrew

608
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 2: regarding what meets you all plan on doing. If anyone

609
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 2: has any ideas, I.

610
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 4: Would love to hear them.

611
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: Halloween is my second favorite time of you, next to

612
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: christ Moves, and I'm excited to do this with you, ladies.

613
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 3: That's like everyone's favorite, second favorite.

614
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 6: Time of year.

615
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: Those are like the two that always go back and.

616
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 3: Forth, not even You're not even special.

617
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 2: I hope everyone can come together and make this happen.

618
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 2: Moving forward, things seemed fine again at the party, I

619
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 2: noticed Caroline stayed inside with my mom for most of

620
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: the night while everyone else was in and out mingling freely.

621
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 2: She left early, saying her son was sick. After that,

622
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: she began calling me at least once a week, telling

623
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 2: me she didn't feel right that the other.

624
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,239
Speaker 4: Girls had been mean to her and excluded her.

625
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 3: Who started it, Girly, Girly, you were mean to them first.

626
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 3: You said they don't have to like you.

627
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 2: Remember when you said that, Remember when you said, I'm

628
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 2: not here to make friends to all of my friends.

629
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: She's all bark, but no body I didn't you could.

630
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 6: Actually not want to be my friend. They would like

631
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 6: I thought, there would sense that I took charge and

632
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 6: think that was cool.

633
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: Now this is someone who I don't think needs to

634
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 2: be thrown into the sun. Yeah, but I think we

635
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: should put her on that big old chebyshe and launcher.

636
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 7: Out of the song.

637
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: She's already going to the pit.

638
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 2: And she says she needed me to get involved and

639
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 2: heal the situation. I reminded her again that if she

640
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: still had an issue, she needed to speak directly to

641
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 2: the person involved. She kept coming back with the same complaint,

642
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 2: so finally I asked her what exactly she needed from me.

643
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 2: She said she wanted an apology from Anastosia. I asked

644
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 2: whether she had apologized to Anastasia herself. She said no,

645
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: she didn't have to because she had spoken the truth

646
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 2: and Anstosia had attacked her character. When I asked what

647
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 2: she considered an attack on her character, she pointed to

648
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 2: Anastasia calling her controlling. I told her that wasn't how

649
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: I perceived it, and that she was an adult and

650
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 2: that I couldn't make anyone apologize. I also pointed out

651
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: that she was the only one still voicing issues and

652
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 2: that if she wanted resolution, she was going to have

653
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 2: to pursue it herself. Meanwhile, other wedding events were already

654
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 2: being planned. Caroline had hired hair and makeup through a

655
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: friend who owned a salon, and she offered her service

656
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 2: as her wedding gift to me, while the other girls

657
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: paid separately for theirs. She was also supposed to book

658
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: the hotel for the bachelorette trip and still hadn't done it.

659
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 4: That's crazy.

660
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 3: Gotta get on that because those are gonna be taken up.

661
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 2: One night, I found an airbnb in the perfect location,

662
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: right between our daytime activity and our dinner spot, so

663
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 2: I had Anastasia book it and updated the group, noting

664
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 2: that the cost came out to the same price per

665
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 2: person and I was personally covering the extra insurance. Caroline

666
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: didn't respond. A day or so later, during my hair

667
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 2: and makeup trial, Melissa texted asking whether she could apply

668
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 2: her service deposit as the final payment for another bride's maid.

669
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 2: Since I was already there, I asked the stylist, who

670
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 2: checked and said it was fine. She even texted me

671
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: after I left to confirm that Melissa's deposit had been

672
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 2: applied towards Sylvia's service and that Sylvia was now paid

673
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 2: in full. It was nine in the evening when I

674
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 2: left the salon. The next morning, Caroline was calling my

675
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: phone repeatedly, despite knowing I was with my family decorating

676
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: my grandmother's house for Christmas, which is a tradition we've

677
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 2: kept now that my grandparents can no longer get everything

678
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: down from the attic themselves. She was yelling at me

679
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,239
Speaker 2: for allowing the payment change without consulting her, saying it

680
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 2: was her money on the line and that I was

681
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 2: a bad friend and a horrible bride because I kept

682
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: making changes without informing Hash shot up.

683
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 4: Stop talking now, calling you a horrible bride.

684
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 3: That doesn't even make sense. What are you cheating on

685
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 3: your boyfriend with the airbnb host?

686
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: I don't understand the easiest resolution for this, other.

687
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 3: Than that break up with your friend.

688
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

689
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 2: I asked her what changes she was referring to, and

690
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 2: that's when she brought up the air Bimba. I reminded

691
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 2: her that she hadn't booked anything yet and that she

692
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: was going to have a very hard time finding availability

693
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 2: in one of the most popular Christmas tourist destinations in

694
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 2: our state, possibly the country.

695
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 4: A week before, Chris.

696
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 2: Smaths, I did what I had to do for the

697
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: sake of the bachelorette trip. She went quiet and said

698
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,479
Speaker 2: we could talk later. My sisters had come outside by

699
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 2: then and heard some of it. They told me she

700
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 2: was out of hand and needed to be set straight

701
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 2: because this was not her wedding. When she called again later,

702
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 2: she was yelling once more, saying I had been leaving

703
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 2: her out of everything, and that every time I spent

704
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 2: time with Melissa or Anastasia, something changed and she was

705
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 2: the last to know. She wasn't entirely wrong. Things related

706
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 2: to the actual wedding planning did shift regularly, but that

707
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 2: was because Melissa owns a wedding planning company and was

708
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 2: serving as my wedding planner.

709
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 6: Yep.

710
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 2: And let this be a lesson. There was a reason

711
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: you guys weren't friends anymore.

712
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 3: Yep. Like that was crazy to me that she said, Yeah,

713
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 3: I distanced myself, but that I thought, why not have

714
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 3: one last hurrah and the most important event of my life?

715
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 4: Yeah?

716
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: Straight up invite her to the wedding. Sure, don't make

717
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 2: her you're made of honor. Yeah, that's insane. I told

718
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 2: Caroline she wasn't looped into those conversations because she didn't

719
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 2: need that added to her plate, and she had known

720
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 2: this from the beginning. She pivoted back to the apology issue,

721
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 2: saying she wasn't comfortable staying overnight in a house with

722
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 2: what she called a group of mean girls. I told

723
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: her that if she wasn't comfortable, she was welcome to

724
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 2: only participate in what felt manageable to her, the same

725
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: arrangement my four sisters had as day trip.

726
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: We give her the option, though I invite her.

727
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 2: Well, that's kind of what you're doing. You're like, Oh,

728
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 2: you don't great, then don't don't come.

729
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 3: It's okay, you don't have to come.

730
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 2: She said she would think about it, but then circled

731
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 2: back to telling me it was my responsibility to heal

732
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 2: the tension. I was the one who had brought abde wade.

733
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 2: They got there, the same conversation happened every single day

734
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 2: for a week. She eventually dropped out of the bachelorette altogether,

735
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 2: which made splitting costs difficult and forced us to cancel

736
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: and completely restructure.

737
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 4: The trip fun.

738
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 2: The other girls tried to smooth things over with her individually.

739
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 2: She told them she appreciated what they had to say,

740
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 2: that she agreed with some of it, and that she

741
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 2: accepted Anastasia's apology.

742
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 4: Then, in the.

743
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 2: Same breath, she said, but this doesn't make it better.

744
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 2: In fact, it made may feel worse.

745
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 4: You're just not built for life. Don't know what to

746
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 4: tell you.

747
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 8: I don't know, I don't know. I feel a lot better. Yeah,

748
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 8: my wallet's a little upset. Everyone's a little upset about that.

749
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 8: But I feel I think everyone feels a lot better.

750
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think everyone feels better except for you. I

751
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 2: hate people like that, where they're like, oh the thing

752
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 2: I was looking for, Well, guess what I would like

753
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 2: to still have problems.

754
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 4: I don't want peace. I want problems always.

755
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 3: Yeah. She's been like this since Opie met her.

756
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, not surprised she hasn't changed.

757
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 2: She saw me shortly after, screaming that I was a

758
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 2: horra about friend who wouldn't stand up for her and

759
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 2: that healing the group was my responsibility because they were

760
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 2: my people. She sent a message to the group Chad

761
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 2: announcing she was stepping down as made of honor and

762
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 2: sharing all the reservation and stylist information, except there were

763
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 2: no reservations. As it turns out, she had lied to

764
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 2: the group about what I wanted for their hair, lied

765
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 2: to both me and the stylists about the salon's capabilities,

766
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 2: and neither stylist knew how to braid, despite braiding being

767
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 2: in every single inspiration photo I had shared in something

768
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 2: I had verbally communicated to Caroline, the salon owner and

769
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 2: the stylist directly, none of the reservations she claimed.

770
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 4: To have made existed. We had to pivot all over again.

771
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 7: Sour Caroline, bopye hater sound Sour Caroline.

772
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 2: Get her out out of my mouth.

773
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 1: So bad, so bad.

774
00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 6: She sucks.

775
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 3: That's all I have to say. I have no other

776
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 3: thoughts other than get this lady. Why did you? Why

777
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 3: did you make her your maid of honor? She is

778
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 3: your maide of dishonor shoe shoe, shoe. I don't want

779
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 3: to see you anymore around these parts. There's only room

780
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 3: for one of us, and it's.

781
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 4: Not you, Opie says. I am a recovering people pleaser

782
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 4: for sure.

783
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: I don't knowingly allow people to hurt others, but I

784
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 2: put up with quite a bit myself because I'm used

785
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 2: to it.

786
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: But I am learning.

787
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 2: My wonderful husband and my amazing mother in law are

788
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 2: very supportive and give me nudges when they notice I'm

789
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 2: accepting behavior I don't deserve. I will forever hate that

790
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 2: my other friends had to endure that treatment. I truly

791
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 2: thought she had changed for the better, and we were

792
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 2: good for about six or seven years prior to this.

793
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 4: No, it's we're not doing that anymore.

794
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 3: No.

795
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 4: No, turns out.

796
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 2: She just liked to twist therapy phrases to make herself

797
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 2: the victim. Isn't that the classic hawkers? That the classic move?

798
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 3: Well, I hope you've learned a valuable lesson. Op when

799
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 3: you cut someone off, to keep them cut off, no

800
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 3: second chances, shock a shock peep.

801
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,480

Speaker 1: Hey, key on here, we're going to get back to

804
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,239

805
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,240
Speaker 2: I pay extra rent for a private office. My roommate

806
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 2: offered it to her friend.

807

Speaker 2: It's a five bed, three bath with a finished basement.

813
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 2: It's in a pretty nice neighborhood, and we got it

814
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 2: for a steal, so we've been here a couple of years.

815
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 2: By the way, this comes from user past Yack ninety

Speaker 6: I'm Dakota, I'm Savannah, I'm Sophia.

820
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 2: We're gonna read this here story. You're gonna comment about

821
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 2: it down there in the comments. We might have some

822
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 2: advice and we might not. Who knows, op says onto

823
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 2: the issue. I work from home and Tessa has a

824
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 2: hybrid schedule. When we all moved in, Charlie wanted us

825
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 2: to pay more rent since we would be setting up

826
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 2: offices in the two spare rooms. The basement is finished,

827
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 2: so we offered for her to set up a space

828
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 2: just for her down there, but she didn't like the

829
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 2: idea of being banished to the basement her words, so

830
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 2: Tessa and I both agreed to pay a little more rent. However,

831
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 2: my condition was that my office was not to be

832
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 2: a shared space. Tessa didn't care if other people use

833
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 2: her room, but this pissed off Charlie. Charlie started arguing

834
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 2: with me about what if she has guests and what

835
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 2: if she needs to use an office space for something. Well, then, gee,

836
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 2: I guess you shouldn't have made me pay more rent

837
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 2: for it, because now it's my space, not our space.

838
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 2: Tessa tried to diffuse and said her office could be

839
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 2: a mixed use room.

840
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 4: That wasn't good enough for Charlie.

841
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 2: After a little back and forth, she agreed to the

842
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 2: terms and it wasn't really brought up again for over

843
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 2: a year. Well, Charlie now has two friends coming in

844
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 2: from Europe to stay for a couple of weeks. She

845
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 2: gave Tessa and me a heads up the other morning.

846
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 2: Fine with us. We love having people come stay at

847
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 2: the house sometimes too. She then slipped that they'll need

848
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 2: to stay in both our offices since she doesn't want

849
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 2: them to have to put up with staying in the

850
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 2: same room. I reminded her of my conditions of paying

851
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 2: the extra rent, and.

852
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 4: Everything went haywire.

853
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 2: You called me self centered and a possessive weirdo and

854
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 2: stormed off, huffing, can we banish her to the basement permanently?

855
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 2: And like, is there like a board you can like

856
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 2: nail over her door when she gets down there?

857
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 3: No, this is what you do. You say, hey, I've

858
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 3: got a really nice one if you want to follow

859
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 3: me down here. And then you take her down to

860
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 3: the basement and.

861
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 6: She says, where's them? And she said, follow me, it's.

862
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 4: In the back.

863
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 3: You'll go all the way to the back. And she goes,

864
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 3: I still don't see the one. You start building up bricks.

865
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 3: You keep building up bricks. She goes, what's going on?

866
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 3: You go, no, keep looking for the w You keep

867
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:48,439
Speaker 3: building up bricks.

868
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 2: She's bricked in even without the boundary. I just can't

869
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 2: give up my office for a couple of weeks. I

870
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 2: would have to move my whole setup to my bedroom,

871
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: and I have a job that requires me to have

872
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 2: multiple screens going with the ti of work I do.

873
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 2: Yessa is wanting to keep the peace and offer to

874
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 2: help me set up something in my bedroom, and then

875
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 2: maybe I should just drop it. This is really the

876
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 2: only issue we've ever had. Been a great roommate experience otherwise.

877
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 2: So this has me wondering if maybe I'm not being

878
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 2: adaptable enough.

879
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 4: So am I the a hole?

880
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 2: I would absolutely say this. Hey, Charlie, one, you sprung

881
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:24,439
Speaker 2: this on us, But that's cool. You What you can

882
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 2: do is that extra rent I'm paying for that room,

883
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 2: you get to pay.

884
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 4: It this month. How about that.

885
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 2: That's a fair trade. If she's not open to that,

886
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 2: she can rocks straight up.

887
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 4: So I don't care. Figure it out. Have him sleep

888
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 4: in your basement, dude.

889
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 6: Let me get this straight. So Charlie is having friends

890
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 6: over and she wants them to stay in.

891
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 4: She's having friends.

892
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 2: From Europe visiting long term for two weeks, okay, And

893
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 2: it was like, you can have the office just be

894
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 2: for yourself if you pay more rent.

895
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 4: Okay, fine, now this is happening.

896
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 2: And she's like, by the way, you have to have

897
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 2: this happen, and it's like, by the way, no, I don't.

898
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 6: Yeah. So they don't have a place to stay, so

899
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 6: they're going to stay No, they do.

900
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 2: There is for sure a situation that could be figured

901
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 2: out that doesn't involve them having to sleep in Ope's

902
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 2: office or live in That's.

903
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,479
Speaker 6: What she is suggesting that they stay in the office.

904
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 2: Charlie's demanding it that one person would be in Testa's office,

905
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 2: one person would be in Op's office. Yeah, and it's like,

906
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 2: no that they don't have to deal with the hassle

907
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 2: of sleeping in the same room. Which whatever, But hey,

908
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 2: here's the deal. You pay the rent for these offices

909
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 2: and then it's over. And if you pay the rent

910
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 2: for that or you pay whatever, because it's two.

911
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 4: Weeks, you can pay half of it.

912
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 6: Sure, I like, that's literally fair dormat on your door, say,

913
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 6: not a dormat.

914
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 2: But it is true. It's like sometimes you do need

915
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 2: to get flexible. Sure, but but.

916
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 6: They're not your friends, they're not your family, you know,

917
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 6: So you don't have to give up.

918
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,919
Speaker 2: Your set You've got the inconvenience of having to tear

919
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 2: down your entire office set up and then rebuild it

920
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 2: in two weeks.

921
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 6: Nah, So they can stay in a hotel or hostel

922
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 6: or something, you know, Like there's many places you can

923
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 6: like go. Sure, just if they can't sleep in the

924
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 6: same Like, here's the solution. They both sleep in Charlie's

925
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 6: office together. Boom, problem freaking solved. But no, they want

926
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 6: to sleep separately.

927
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 4: Why I don't think they even do. I think this

928
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,280
Speaker 4: is just Charlie being difficult. She sounds like a difficult person.

929
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 2: Okay, I really didn't think this was gonna be a

930
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 2: popular post since it was just roommate squabble.

931
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 4: I'm seeing a lot of the same questions.

932
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 2: So total rent is eighteen hundred, Charlie pays five TESTA

933
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 2: and I each pay six point fifty.

934
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 4: What was this from the eighteen hundreds? No, I'm just kidding.

935
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 2: We split all utilities three ways except internet. TESTA and

936
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 2: I split that since we need it to be high speed.

937
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 2: So does Charlie not use the internet?

938
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 3: Then?

939
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 2: The house is about sixteen hundred square feet without the basement.

940
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 2: I can't remember the exact square footage of the basement.

941
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 2: The offices are the smallest rooms, and I could technically

942
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 2: move my desk into my bedroom.

943
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 6: Wait wait, Tesla said, I do what.

944
00:42:58,840 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 3: Second time?

945
00:42:59,400 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 6: Where's Meg?

946
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 4: Yeah? Wait?

947
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 2: So this is an entire house and this woman is

948
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 2: demanding to use your personal space to house her friends

949
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,720
Speaker 2: when there is quite literally an entire house.

950
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 4: Yes, the lift out how to stay at.

951
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 2: I despise Charlie. She is the worst kind of roommate.

952
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 6: It's Tessa Tessa did this.

953
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, good luck Charlie.

954
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, why does Charlie pay a cheap rate because she

955
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 2: has an entire bedroom, she has an entire basement to hers.

956
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 4: You're excellingly me to the basement. Shut up, it's the

957
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 4: best place to be.

958
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 6: Literally all Testa's fault.

959
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 4: Anyways, OPI continues.

960
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 2: However, moving my setup to the basement would take extra work,

961
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 2: as my desk wouldn't fit down the stairs. Charlie does

962
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 2: not want her guests in the basement because it's not

963
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 2: as nice as the rest of the house. And I

964
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 2: think it might be because my office in Tessa's offices

965
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 2: are pretty cute.

966
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 4: We've decorated them pretty well. And that's the end of

967
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 4: that story.

968
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 6: My neighbor expected everyone to display his gift in their

969
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 6: front yard, but I hid mine.

970
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 4: What did he get? You like a flamingo?

971
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 6: Hi twenty six female here. I recently bought my first

Speaker 6: our street. No hoa, no rules about long design, only

974
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 6: a role that the roofs can't be black. Cool whatever.

Speaker 4: I'm Dakota, I'm Riley.

980
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 3: We are here to give some good advice goofily, but

981
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:28,960

Speaker 4: All the answers.

983
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 6: We don't let you know what we would do in

984
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 6: this situation, but you should let us know what you

985
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 6: would do down in the comments. My neighbor will call

986
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 6: him mister Thomas. Sixty five is mister Thomas right across

987
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 6: the street has his garden stuffed, and I mean stuffed

988
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,399
Speaker 6: with garden nomes. They're everywhere. They climb up the water drain. Ooh,

989
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 6: they're on the porch, on the grass.

990
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 3: It's a whole thing.

991
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 6: Not my style, but fine, ooh crazy. I moved in

992
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,760
Speaker 6: the first week of March. In the day after mister

993
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 6: Thomas came to say hello, introduce himself, and bring me

994
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 6: a garden nome as a welcome gift. Oh no, I

995
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 6: thought it was absolutely hideous, but I thanked him and

996
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,439
Speaker 6: then put it in the shed after he left. Following day,

997
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 6: I brought all neighbors some self made cookies. Mister Thomas

998
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 6: and his wife got some too, and they seemed happy.

999
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 6: About it. Two or three days later, I was walking

1000
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 6: my dog and mister Thomas stopped me and asked why

1001
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 6: I hadn't put my nome in my front yard.

1002
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: Uh.

1003
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, i'd ask you the same question, where's your gnome?

1004
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 6: I didn't tell him I hated the nome. I just

1005
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 6: told him I had something else in mind for my garden,

1006
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 6: which I just hadn't gotten around to yet. True, and

1007
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 6: the gnome was doing a formidable job guarding my tools

1008
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 6: in the shed. Ah.

1009
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 3: He got really.

1010
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 6: Upset and snappy with me and told me that he's

1011
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 6: been living in this street for thirty years, and every

1012
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 6: neighbor gets anme as a welcome gift, and every neighbor

1013
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 6: puts them up in the front yard. Don't tell me

1014
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 6: what the foot of my freaking yard?

1015
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 4: What are you the king of the neighborhood? Like, what

1016
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 4: are you the nome king?

1017
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 2: Nome king?

1018
00:45:58,600 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 3: I am the king of nomes.

1019
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 2: I've been living in this house for fifty thousand years.

1020
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 6: I'm looking of nomes. Put me in your yard, but

1021
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 6: be next to the sunflowers. I want to be next

1022
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 6: to the sunflowers.

1023
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 2: Honestly, what I would do now is I would dig

1024
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 2: like a small trench and I would put the gnome

1025
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 2: in there, and I would like so.

1026
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 4: He's like face up. It's like almost like you're like

1027
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 4: burying the gnome in sand, and it.

1028
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 3: Would just just have his face out.

1029
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like his like his little upper body. And

1030
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 4: then I would just like put like plants around it

1031
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 4: to grow up. You know, I decided today I want

1032
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 4: to be a plant guy.

1033
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I to be a plant guy because.

1034
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 4: I've never been able to keep them alive.

1035
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 6: So oh yeah, yeah, just.

1036
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 4: Gonna find Yeah, I find any reason to live. It's

1037
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 4: the plane.

1038
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 6: Where is my plants? I hadn't really paid it any

1039
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 6: mine up until that point, but once he messaged it,

1040
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 6: once he mentioned it, I noticed that there was a

1041
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 6: garden nome in every front yard. He mentioned how.

1042
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 3: It's a tradition and everybody's gotta do it.

1043
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 6: Okay, you're forcing me to put a decoration in my yard.

1044
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 6: Why why now everyone likes my gnomes? Everyone gets one,

1045
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 6: so everyone needs to put it on display.

1046
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just says no. Yeah, I would just think

1047
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 2: of I would now make it my mission. After this

1048
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 2: guy got so weird to like display the gnome in

1049
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 2: like an array of different ways that just make him

1050
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 2: more upset than the gnome not being displayed.

1051
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 6: I would plant it, but just have its hat sticky

1052
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 6: nowt like just a random like cone in my yard.

1053
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 4: I give it like a little acme sign that says like.

1054
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 3: Don't tell me what to do.

1055
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 6: I asked him if he wanted the gnome back, if

1056
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 6: he didn't like where I put it. He said no,

1057
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 6: so I just calmly told him that I most likely

1058
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 6: wasn't going to put the gnome on the front lawn,

1059
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 6: thanked him for the gift again, wished him a nice day,

1060
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 6: and left. Ever since, I noticed that a handful of

1061
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 6: other neighbors have let their gnomes disappear, and now mister

1062
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 6: Thomas hates me. I get a stink eye every time

1063
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 6: we spot each other. And my neighbor next door, the

1064
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 6: sweete old lady bless her Heart, told me he's apparently

1065
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 6: complaining about me on the regular.

1066
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:02,879
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie.

1067
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 2: I find it a little hard to believe you couldn't

1068
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 2: make one of these guys work, you know, like no,

1069
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 2: I feel like like.

1070
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 6: The original gnome, like the scary one.

1071
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 2: If he was like, yeah, I give you a gnome

1072
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 2: every month, and like you have to keep adding them.

1073
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 2: I'd be like, well, that's kind of weird, but dude,

1074
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 2: like you live in a crazy, whimsical street where everyone

1075
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 2: has a name in their front yard.

1076
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 4: That's pretty fun.

1077
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 6: I know I would do it, Like I understand if

1078
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 6: he's like, you know, I'm not doing it, but like everyone.

00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 6: I should have just put the gnome in the front

Speaker 6: long to make the old man happy. Am I They

1088

Speaker 6: a new home at my local second hand shop this morning.

1091
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 6: To the people asking about the roof color, yes, it's

1092
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 6: a heat absorption thing. And to the people worrying about

1093
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 6: me being ostracized from the community, it's literally just mister Thomas,

1094

Speaker 6: Even missus Thomas smiled back at me last night when

1096
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 6: I got home from work. Well, mister Thomas ignored me.

1097
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 6: So I think I'll be fine.

00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 3: I went above and beyond after hitting my neighbor's mailbox.

1101
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 3: She's called me names.

1102

Speaker 6: That's my mailbox. You get marine think to do?

1103
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 3: My car slipped on black eyes and I hit my

1104
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 3: neighbor's mail box.

1105
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 6: Yikes O, I thought you just did it for fun.

1106
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 3: I gave her my insurance info and she said my

1107
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 3: insurance wanted her to pay up front and she didn't

1108
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 3: have the money. Wait what they wanted her to pay

1109

1116
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 3: and Hopie says, I said I would buy the mailboxes

1117
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 3: and pay my handyman to put them in, but it

1118
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 3: would be after the first of the year because the

1119
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,760
Speaker 3: mailbox won't be in until the twenty ninth of December

1120
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 3: and he had family plans. On the twenty ninth, she

1121
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 3: called me, but I couldn't answer because my daughter was sick.

1122
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 3: I texted my handyman and asked for him to arrange

1123
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 3: what day he could come and install it. He told

1124
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 3: her he had the mailbox and arrange for Friday, the

1125
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 3: second of January to install when he was back in town.

1126
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 3: On the thirty first, she texted me a sarcastic text

1127
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 3: message that I didn't care. I told her my daughter

1128
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 3: ended up in the hospital and I couldn't return her call,

1129
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,800
Speaker 3: which is why my handyman reached out to arrange a

1130
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 3: day and time. She said, out of respect, I should

1131
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 3: have called her back, that I should be ashamed of

1132
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 3: myself and be more apologetic. I've already had two thirty

1133
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 3: minute calls where I profusely apologized. I told her to

1134
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 3: go through my insurance if I wasn't doing it fast enough.

1135
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 3: She then sent this text, and you are the homeowner

1136
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 3: that pl out over my mailbox, so completely disrespectful and sinful.

1137
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,760
Speaker 3: It's a sin to hit another person's mailbox. You have sinned.

1138
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 5: You're going at you know, I think Moses just trying

1139
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 5: to make that eleventh commandment, you know, looking back at it.

1140
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 3: Yep, He's like, don't hit anyone's mailbox. Okay, don't do it.

1141
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 6: No hitting Max.

1142
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 3: And he came back and there was this giant statue,

1143
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 3: golden statue of a mailbox. He's like, God, dang, you

1144
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,439
Speaker 3: should be ashamed and embarrassed and apologetic. Call the handyman.

1145
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 3: You're pathetic.

1146
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 5: Okay. Also, your behavior around this is sinful. If you

1147
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 5: want to get very technical.

1148
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 3: Here, lady, Yeah, lady, this is a little bit of

1149
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 3: an overreaction, you know what. I was going to be

1150
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 3: on her side for a moment there, because it's like,

1151
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 3: it is pretty annoying someone hits your mailbox and then

1152
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 3: keeps pushing the date when they're going to, you know.

1153
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 4: Fix it.

1154
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 3: I feel you have to pay out a pocket pretty frustrating.

1155
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 5: How much is a mailbox submit and everything?

1156
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,359
Speaker 6: Well, it depends what you're mailboxes. If it's just like

1157
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 6: wood with you know, the little whatever on top of it,

1158
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 6: like the metal mailbox, and yeah it's different, but some

1159
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 6: people like go all out and get like really big ones. Yeah,

1160
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 6: there's one that glows in my neighborhood. It's pretty cool.

1161
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 5: Around like fifty to sixty sh with the cement.

1162
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 6: Really.

1163
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 3: But so all of that to say, I still think

1164
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 3: she's being pretty rude. Yeah, we catch more flies with honey,

1165
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 3: as they say. Yeah, So then I sent this and

1166
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 3: blocked her. I'm returning the mailbox. Go through insurance. You

1167
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 3: have the info. I didn't have to buy them and

1168
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 3: pay a handyman to put them in. He told you

1169
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 3: he'd be there on Friday, and I told you the

1170
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 3: same thing. That obviously isn't good enough. So go through insurance.

1171
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 3: Am I the ale for making her go through insurance?

1172
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 3: If she started calling me names? And we've got some

1173
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 3: info her mailbox is still usable and she's still getting mail.

1174
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 3: It just had to Oh that is very important info.

1175
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so standing up still still so it.

1176
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 6: Literally just has a gone in. Yeah what Oh, so

1177
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 6: she's making a big fuss about Like I could understand

1178
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 6: making a big fuss when you can't get you know,

1179
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 6: it's like I can't get mail now. They don't have

1180
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 6: any place to put it, make my mail this stuff,

1181
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 6: but like you're still getting mail.

1182
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 3: It just has to clock in it. It's just aesthetic.

1183
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 6: And she said it's gonna get fixed though, yes, Like,

1184
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 6: I don't think you helped the situation by being like, oh,

1185
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 6: by the way, I take back everything I do, you

1186
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 6: handle it, blah blah blah, just go through insurance if

1187
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 6: it's taking too long. Like I feel like, you know,

1188
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 6: she set all that rude stuff that day, but then

1189
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 6: in two more days she would have had it done

1190
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,240
Speaker 6: and then you could have just forget about it. But yeah,

1191
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 6: instead you chose to do that, so I guess, you

1192
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 6: know whatever to each the rong.

1193
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 3: She picked the mailbox and it would arrive on the

1194
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 3: twenty ninth. She knew that, but wanted that specific mailbox.

1195
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 3: I sent the handyman over to fix her leaky sink

1196
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 3: as an I'm sorry, So now he's doing like other stuff.

1197
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: Wow.

1198
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,880
Speaker 3: I've also dropped off treats and homemade bread as an

1199
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I've answered all her calls except the twenty

1200
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 3: ninth call. I use that iPhone feature where you can

1201
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 3: the phone. We'll tell the person calling why you can't answer.

1202
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,399
Speaker 3: I said, my daughter is sick, handyman will reach out

1203
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,280
Speaker 3: to schedule. He reached out and scheduled for the second.

1204
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 3: She texted on the thirty first that I should have

1205
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 3: called her personally and that I should be ashamed. Told

1206
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 3: her my daughter ended up in the hospital with RSV

1207
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:19,800
Speaker 3: and I thought it was resolved because she had a

1208
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 3: date that the handyman was coming. She texted back, inking,

1209
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 3: you're pathetic.

1210
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 6: Wow, you're pathetic. Yeah, because my daughter has RSV.

1211
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 3: Like that's serious.

1212
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 6: It's not like she could literally be gone, like I'm

1213
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 6: just blocking this lady. Yeah, I'd be like, okay, whatever, bye.

1214
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 3: Sheef going on with I went thinfull. I told her

1215
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 3: to go through insurance and one more edit. I'm a

1216
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 3: woman with absolutely no tools. I pay the handyman to

1217
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 3: fix things. If I knew how to do it, I

1218
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 3: would have done it. But I've learned I make way

1219
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 3: more work in my job and paying someone to do

1220
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 3: it right the first time more cost effective.

1221
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 5: But you do have tools. You're living be side of

1222
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 5: one child.

1223
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 3: Oh oh a child close now, I mean a child

1224
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 3: could be a tool if you have worked for him

1225
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 3: exactly updates.

1226
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 5: We are pro child labor around here.

1227
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:21,760
Speaker 3: Oh oh no, someone advised that I contact my insurance

1228
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 3: company to see if she made a claim. She did

1229
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 3: weeks ago and said she'd be turning in receipts. My

1230
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 3: handyman reached out and asked if he could buy the

1231
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 3: mailbox from me since it was a nice one. Instead

1232
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 3: of me having to return it, I gave it to

1233
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 3: him for the inconvenience of his schedule being canceled. While

1234
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 3: we were talking, he said she had requested copy of

1235
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 3: receipts even though I was paying him directly. Also, I

1236
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 3: already had a claim open because there was damage to

1237
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 3: my car, so the deductible has to be paid anyway.

1238
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,720
Speaker 3: This will not cost me extra, and I have accident

1239
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 3: forgiveness and one less neighbor I have to wave to

1240
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 3: the school's a B. Yeah, she nasty. Why she's so nasty?

1241
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 3: Like to fix this?

1242
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 6: And obviously it's not like she meant to like she

1243
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:04,760
Speaker 6: acts like.

1244
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 3: She's like purposely black ice.

1245
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, she purposely ran right into it.

1246
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 3: And just merely cracked it.

1247
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:12,919
Speaker 6: She didn't even do the whole thing.

1248
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,879
Speaker 3: How dare she couldn't even finished any job?

1249
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't even finish the job, and then you

1250
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 6: have someone else finish it. For you pathetic, but there wasn't.

1251
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 3: Edit, and I guess thanks for applying everyone. I understand

1252
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 3: that it would probably be less hasshole to just have

1253
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 3: my handyman fix it, but I won't be dying that

1254
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 3: it probably does make me a little bit of an ale,

1255
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 3: and I accept that name calling is where I draw

1256
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 3: the line. I pay for insurance. I already made a claim,

1257
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,280
Speaker 3: so her adding on to that doesn't change my rates.

1258
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 3: I am sorry I hit her mailbox, and I fulfilled

1259
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 3: my obligation by giving her my insurance. She doesn't have

1260
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 3: access to me anytime she wants another apology, and she

1261
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 3: certainly doesn't get to call me names.

1262
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 5: And that's true.

1263
00:56:58,480 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 3: This is perfect for her.

1264
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 5: She has someone to bully because they hit their mailbox.

1265
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:04,359
Speaker 5: She doesn't want you to fix it. Ope, but now

1266
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 5: she needs something to complain about.

1267
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:07,280
Speaker 3: That's all she wanted.

1268
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,839
Speaker 6: Those types of people are so insane, like why why

1269
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 6: cause drama?

1270
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 3: For what?

1271
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 6: Cause you're you're unhappy?

1272
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 7: Why?

1273
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 6: Man?

1274
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 3: She's just in that house and it's cold, and she's

1275
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 3: like for it just probably old, so clean.

1276
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 9: And that's the end of this story. We're gonna go

1277
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 9: on to the next one.

1278
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 6: I accidentally adopted my neighbor's cat.

1279
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 3: They threaten the cold cops my cat.

1280
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 8: Now my cat.

1281
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 6: My neighbors moved here in the summer and have been

1282
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 6: leaving their cat outside. I don't like this, but the

1283
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 6: cat was okay. Cut to now December and it was

1284
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 6: below freezing and the cat was still outside. I caught

1285
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 6: it drinking out of a dirty puddle.

1286
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 3: Oh no, this is not the neighbor's cat. They did

1287
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 3: not take care of it. Well.

1288
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 2: Fun fact docon cats can actually drink dirty water and

1289
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 2: it be okay, but.

1290
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 6: It's too comforting.

1291
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1292
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 6: By the way, this comes from I am and if

1293
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 6: you want to make your own stories, go to the

1294
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 6: r slash. Okay, storytime subword. I'm Savannah, I'm Sophia, I'm riding,

1295
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 6: and only I had to give some good advice. Goofully.

1296
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 6: We don't have all the answers. We do only let

1297
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 6: you know what we would do in this situation. But

1298
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 6: you shall let us know what you would do in

1299
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 6: the comments. That's hope, he says. Long story short, I

1300
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:23,439
Speaker 6: scooped the cat, but am worried because I know which

1301
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 6: neighbors it is, and I had previously asked them if

1302
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 6: it was their cat. They don't know that I'm their

1303
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 6: next door neighbor, though, because I left a note on

1304
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 6: their door with instructions to text me. I'm still worried

1305
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 6: because what if they come after me, or what if

1306
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 6: they really liked the cat? What if it's chipped and

1307
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 6: the Humane Society calls the owners. I just want this

1308
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 6: buddy to be safe. Update that was quick for those

1309
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 6: who are still tuned in. I texted the owners the

1310
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 6: following morning. I still haven't heard anything. So me and

1311
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 6: my cat buddy are chillin. It actually laid with me

1312
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 6: on the couch last night. My heart melted. I would

1313
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 6: show if I knew how to upload images. Update number two,

1314
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 6: I still haven't heard from the owners. The cat is

1315
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 6: really enjoying being a house cat. Here's my little body

1316
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 6: tax and there is an update number three fifteen days later,

1317
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 6: there have been developments. The next morning, I texted them

1318
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 6: and told them I took their cat in out of

1319
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 6: the cold. I did not receive a response for five days.

1320
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 6: Cut to Christmas Eve. Cat throws up a lot and

1321
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 6: threw up the day before. I see some pink in

1322
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 6: its throw up and realize I have to take it

1323
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 6: to the emergency bet I am stressed and let it slip.

1324
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 6: It's not my cat. I then have to eat crow

1325
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 6: and ask the owner's permission to treat the cat, and

1326
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 6: I'll pay for it. They get mad. I cry, cat's

1327
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 6: fine and probably isn't adjusting well to new real food.

1328
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 6: I returned the cat under their request, preserving every aspect

1329
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 6: of my identity in the process. Another week goes by.

1330
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 6: I get told by my other neighbor two things. One

1331
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 6: they left it on their non climate controlled patio the

1332
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 6: entire time. Luckily it was high forty degrees faradite for

1333
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 6: the week. Two, the first day it's below freezing New

1334
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 6: Year's Eve, they let it back out in the cold.

1335
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 6: I get the word from my neighbor that the cat

1336
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 6: sounds like it's in heat and three cats are having

1337
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 6: a mating party under her deck. Oh no, no, this

1338
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 6: is I mean, this is terrible.

1339
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 3: I would be calling like some sort of animal.

1340
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 6: I would just take it and not text it. I'd

1341
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 6: be like mine, Now.

1342
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 3: You guys can't, like I really can't take care of

1343
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 3: this cat.

1344
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, because you gave it back.

1345
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1346
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 6: She literally was like, I'll take care of it if

1347
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 6: you don't want it. Whatever.

1348
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 4: They're like our cat, but then they don't do anything weird.

1349
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 6: I went back out there with my carrier, and she

1350
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 6: ran right up to me, and I picked her up

1351
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 6: and put her in the cage. She's now back in

1352
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 6: my house. I gave them a shot, but otherwise our

1353
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 6: neighborhood will be overrun with cats out in the freezing cold.

1354
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 6: It's true. Yeah, that's like wild cats do.

1355
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 3: Like dang wildcats go wow wow.

1356
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 6: If you know what I'm saying, you think bunnies are

1357
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 6: bad cat cats? There are some relevant comments. The John

1358
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 6: MC says, ask the owner's permission to treat the cat. Yikes.

1359
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 6: Ope responds had to. I had loose lip because I

1360
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 6: was stressed. The vet likely would not have helped the

1361
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 6: cat unless I got the owner's permission, so I had

1362
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 6: to ask them for it. Stress makes the brain bad.

1363
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 6: Middle Earth responds, it isn't astray, Ope admits she stole it.

1364
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 6: Whichever way you look at it, Op is a thief,

1365
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 6: op rsh Yeah.

1366
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 3: These people were leaving the cat out in like freezing weather.

1367
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 6: OPI responds, not a thief, a cute thief. Not just

1368
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 6: any thief, a cute one. Oh and Middle Earth response

1369
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 6: a self absorbed thief. Then dang, what bees in your bonnet?

1370
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 6: Middle Earth? Oh geponds it's self druve, and a cute

1371
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 6: update four twenty days after first update, Hello, there are

1372
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 6: folks here. We are again huh. So I followed all

1373
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 6: the rules of where I live and submitted a report

1374
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 6: to Animal Control that I found astray, proper amount of

1375
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 6: time lapsed, and no word from the owners, So by

1376
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 6: all accounts, that makes me the owner according to Animal Control.

1377
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 6: In fact, the cat was on the online bulletin board

1378
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 6: three times the amount of time it was supposed to

1379
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 6: be and still nothing. Okay, so you did everything. So

1380
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 6: he's like, I tried really hard. You tried to contact

1381
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 6: these people, yeah, the whole like the other neighbors know

1382
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 6: about it. Also, you called animal controls, like, went through

1383
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 6: all the rules, regulations whatever, so and also put a

1384
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 6: picture of it up with being like who's cat? You

1385
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 6: know whatever? Blah blah blah, Like you did everything. So

1386
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 6: it's these people fault, honestly. Cut to today, found out

1387
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 6: the cat is pregnantew that geese. Likely we'll get a

1388
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 6: pregnant spee as there is nowhere to rehome the kittens

1389
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 6: and I cannot provide support to my cat during this

1390
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 6: process is I have a trip coming up. Two days ago,

1391
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 6: the owners threatened to call the cops and they discovered

1392
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 6: my name somehow, so I am no longer anonymous. I

1393
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:54,440
Speaker 6: will not communicate with them. Let the cops come. I

1394
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 6: have followed proper procedure, and at this point I think

1395
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 6: the previous owners just found astray they liked and was

1396
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 6: feeding it. That's not ownership. So nervous about it, though,

1397
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 6: No matter how confident you feel before, when the cops

1398
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 6: come knocking, it's never pleasant. I'll let you know how

1399
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,640
Speaker 6: that goes. If it wasn't an empty threat.

1400
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: I want a little.

1401
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 3: Give me the kittens. I'm allergic, but give me them anyway.

1402
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 5: Would you take a shot like the algy shots?

1403
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I did all my life. They didn't work.

1404
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 3: That could be a round cats, but that's why I

1405
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 3: could only live with hypoallergenic cat. Unfortunately does but my.

1406
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 6: Boyfriend as oh miss Lolas, as I have six cats,

1407
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 6: I'm insane and also allergic to.

1408
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 3: My best friend is also very allergic to cats, and

1409
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 3: she is too, but I think she just kind of

1410
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 3: got less allergic to them.

1411
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 6: Update five twenty two days after the second update.

1412
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 5: I got least one cat here.

1413
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 3: Hello.

1414
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 6: For the last time, I got taught a pregnant spee

1415
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 6: as I got some good guidance from my loved ones.

1416
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:59,479
Speaker 6: So I guess that's what's she named it. Tot Tot

1417
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 6: came home with me and wore her silly little shirt.

1418
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 6: Pulled it up.

1419
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 2: Now.

1420
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 6: She wore her silly little shirt for two weeks so

1421
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 6: she wouldn't pick at her stitches. In that two weeks,

1422
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 6: she discovered under the cover and likes to sleep there

1423
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 6: with me. She got her shirt off and can roam free.

1424
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 6: Now yay, she naked, but she like it. She liked

1425
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 6: to show off she's hot. I've heard nothing from the

1426
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 6: people that claim to own her since they threatened me

1427
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 6: with the cops. At this point, I think we're in

1428
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 6: the clear and I just have a new cat. She's

1429
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 6: very sweet and we are best friends. Eventually, I think

1430
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 6: I may leash train her and take her on walks

1431
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 6: around her former domain.

1432
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 3: This is where I had my first cat man. This

1433
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 3: is where I jumped a fence. This is the cat

1434
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 3: introducing Opie h. This is where I am conceived a child.

1447
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 2: minutes of ads from our sponsors.

1448
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 3: My landlor refused to give me a trash can, so

1449
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 3: I turned it into a competition.

1450
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 6: Woo, who's gonna win? Who's gonna win?

1451

01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 3: own home to rent, but it's apartment style living. According

1453
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 3: to the property management. My family goes through a lot

1454
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 3: of trash each week with diapers, formula cans, et cetera.

1455
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:45,720

1460
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 3: We only know what we'd do, So let us know

1461
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 3: what you would do in the comments. I dope, he says.

1462
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 3: Last year, I called the trash company to see about

1463
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 3: getting a second can for our house. They directed me

1464
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 3: to call the property manager, who directed me back to

1465
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 3: the trash company, which ended up being a waste of

1466
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 3: time until I eventually got at least some help from

1467
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 3: someone at the trash company. The helpful person called the

1468
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 3: property manager and then called me back to let me

1469
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 3: know they wouldn't be letting anyone have a second can,

1470
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 3: even if I paid extra for it.

1471
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 6: Okay, so then you just wanted to overflow. You're not

1472
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 6: going to give you any more please to put your

1473
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 6: trash in, So just put it on the road now.

1474
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 3: So what can I do if I have the extra

1475
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 3: trash that used to go out? You can place your

1476
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 3: trash on the ground next to the can, Okay and

1477
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 3: do that, though everyone advises against that because then animals

1478
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 3: can get into it.

1479
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 6: The whole point of having like an enclosure is that

1480
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 6: the trash.

1481
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 3: Goes in it, and in case is in it.

1482
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 6: Some people literally have like a lock.

1483
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lock. I don't even think you can get

1484
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:54,439
Speaker 3: a second trash can. I don't think that's like a thing.

1485
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 3: Can you do that? Yeah? You can get a second trash?

1486
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 6: My god, one time when I worked for the Dads,

1487
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 6: someone stole or trash we like couldn't find.

1488
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:03,240
Speaker 3: Yeah you can.

1489
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, no, I like an extra.

1490
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think you can get an extra right,

1491
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 3: I don't know. We had two green ones, that's true,

1492
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 3: you know what, I've had two blue ones before. Yeah,

1493
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 3: so I guess that makes sense. So guess what I

1494
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 3: started doing. I started placing our extra bags on the

1495
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 3: ground next to the can for about a month until

1496
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 3: the property manager sent out a community wide email asking

1497
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 3: us to stop placing bags outside the cans because the

1498
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 3: trash company charges for each bag outside the cans.

1499
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 6: Oh wow, yeah, which is what I was gonna.

1500
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 3: I don't think you can do that. I think you

1501
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:35,479
Speaker 3: get fined. So I acquire with the manager again about

1502
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 3: getting a second can. They still try to pin it

1503
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 3: on the trash company. Jess Waita says, the city's usually

1504
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 3: contract companies to do the stuff, so they're still involved,

1505
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:47,040
Speaker 3: is what I'm hearing. And my cat's name is Karen says.

1506
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 3: One of my patients owns a garbage company and he's

1507
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 3: fifth rich. Yeah, this is crazy, Sofa King says, I

1508
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 3: can call my trash company and order an extra trash

1509
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 3: can or extra cycling tub at any time.

1510
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 6: Okay, guys, I think we're all think of the same

1511
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 6: thing here. Yeah, let's start a trash company. Okay, trash, Okay, trash, Okay, trash.

1512
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 6: I really think that could go.

1513
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 5: Well, Yeah, what are you doing? Are you picking up

1514
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 5: the trash? Are you driving russ?

1515
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm driving that baby, actually the one on the end.

1516
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 3: So over the last three months, I've been stacking the

1517
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:21,679
Speaker 3: trash on top of the can, practically making a game

1518
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:23,639
Speaker 3: out of it with a couple of neighbors each week

1519
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 3: who can stack the highest We're moving out of the

1520
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 3: end of the month. But we finally got an email

1521
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 3: today from the property manager. Beginning March first, there will

1522
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 3: be an overflow dumpster in the back corner by the

1523
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:38,440
Speaker 3: service gate for any trash that doesn't fit any trash cans. Day, Wanda.

1524
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 6: The whole thing was so stupid, Like why would you

1525
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 6: want like your trash just to be like not in.

1526
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:48,639
Speaker 3: A bin, truly, Like it doesn't make any sense.

1527
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like, no, you gotta put it on the side.

1528
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 6: But then it's like, oh, no, I got fined. They're

1529
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 6: being on the side. Yeah, stop putting.

1530
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 3: It on the side where I told you to.

1531
01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:58,880
Speaker 4: The whole thing is.

1532
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:02,639
Speaker 3: Is we have multiple private trash companies here. They charge

1533
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,720
Speaker 3: us a monthly fee for trash pickup per can. The

1534
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 3: company takes it to the dump and pays the dumping fee.

1535
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 3: I'm learning so much about the trash industry right now.

1536
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 9: And that's the end of this story.
