Speaker 1: comes from Exciting Muffin ninety twenty nine on the r

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: slash Okay story Time supread it so for aditional context.

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: I was the parentified sister and basically raise my brothers.

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: I helped them learn how to cook and clean, help

22
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: them with homework, took them to extracurriculars, helped them figure

23
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: out scholarships, trade school colleges, and basically made them into

24
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: the men they are today. My brothers are very aware

25
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: of the situation that I was having to take on

26
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: parental duties and thus do not treat me like one.

27
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: I am their sister and they treat me as such,

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: which of course means having a few crazy sibling traditions,

29
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: which is where my situation stems from. I thirty female,

30
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: just had my birthday pass. I think it's just there.

31
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: The birthday has passed, not a birthday pass. I could

32
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: do whatever I want. It's my birthday. I can light

33
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: a car on fire because it's my birthday.

34
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 3: As my birthday is coming up.

35
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: That means I can commit armed robbery. That means I

36
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: can avoid the.

37
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: Draft our birthday.

38
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: Mark decided to help Owen organize a celebration dinner since

39
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: everybody had something to celebrate. Owen just engaged, trash Jack

40
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: got a huge pay raise, Kyle started an online shop,

41
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: Rob bought his first house it's a motor home, and

42
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: Finn just started his first serious relationship. So Owen organized

43
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: a huge dinner party at a pretty fancy place with

44
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 1: my brothers and husband, each planning to split the tab

45
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: with Margo and omit me since it was technically my

46
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: birthday and thus I shouldn't pay because you got a

47
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: birthday pass when he got a birthday pass, you do

48
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: not pay.

49
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 3: You don't gotta pay.

50
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: You don't gotta pay. That's one thing I know. Fast

51
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: forward to the dinner and we're seated in the back

52
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: due to having so many people because it's a party

53
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: and everybody is having a great time laughing and sharing

54
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: more information about their life. When Margo has an old

55
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: video pop up on her film memories. It's a video

56
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: of a birthday dinner when I was a teen, and

57
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: it showed my brothers giving me my birthday bruises. Like

58
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: what two four, five, takes seven eight? You made it?

59
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: Heard of the concept of a birthday old one twos? Well,

60
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: basically it's the same concept. However, due to my bathers

61
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: being massive hulks of meat and me being more no

62
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: more than five foot one, they opt to flick me instead,

63
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: so I'll get a tiny bruise instead of looking like

64
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: I was jumped. Rob decides to start with the birthday

65
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: bruises tradition, each of my brothers opting to flick me

66
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: six times. This way, I get an even thirty flicks,

67
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: with Margo and Mark even giving me two for good luck.

68
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: Did it look strange? Probably, but we already stood out

69
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: in the restaurant since we had so many people, and

70
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: it's not like we made a big show. I simply

71
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: went around the table to each of my brothers to

72
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: get my flicks. Trition and Rob were laughing, well aware

73
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: of the familial situation, and it was all good fun.

74
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: But I did notice Annie. Yeah, who's Annie?

75
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: Annie? I believe his stepsister?

76
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: Uh? Annie?

77
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: Or like someone's girlfriend.

78
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: Oh, Kyle's partner Roe? Yeah, oh, so there's Row and Rob. Annie.

79
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: Annie is the serious girlfriend?

80
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, serious girlfriend? Or sorry, not sister, I meant to

81
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: say sister in law? Uh yes, not quite yet, not quite.

82
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: A new serious girlfriend? H yes, now its Annie didn't

83
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: really seem to be comfortable. Who's Annie Benn's new serious girlfriend? Yep?

84
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: So when she went to the bathroom, I decided to

85
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: check on her old habits pass away hard. I didn't

86
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: approach her until she was washing her hands and asked

87
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: her if everything was okay, and she simply sneered and

88
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: said we were embarrassing and low cloud.

89
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 3: Oh who made you the queen of the world.

90
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, turn your no, I didn't know you

00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: were so on fun know you were you were Queen Elizabeth,

00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: I know, missed honestly, like, yeah, she is very much

93
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: a Queen Elizabeth, but Queen Elizabeth now not Queen Elizabeth

94
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: like one. Yeah, the dead one. That's how That's how

95
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: much you are the life of the party. You're just dead.

96
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: When you killed the party.

97
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: You killed that party, just like.

98
00:04:59,160 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 3: We were there.

99
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: We were there, we were there. We didn't do it,

100
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: didn't I told her, I didn't understand the attitude that

101
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: tonight was meant to be happy and we were just

102
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: being ourselves. To be completely honest, My words were along

103
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: the lines of this is who we are. We're siblings,

104
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: we hit each other, it's not that deep. She once

105
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 1: again sneered and said, well, this is a place where

106
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: it's not okay to be yourselves with a mocking tone.

107
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: She then stormed out of the bathroom. So I returned

108
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: to the table. She was sulky the rest of the dinner,

109
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: and when the bill came, he tried to drag Fin off.

110
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: She kind of sucks. That behavior sucks.

111
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 3: Is she trying to make it so Finn doesn't.

112
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: Pay I think so. I think so.

113
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 3: That's also really weird. We already know he gets a

114
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: birthday pass.

115
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: Forth they pass birthday pass. Finn doesn't get a birthday pass.

116
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: Certainly not Annie, huh, certainly not Annie. Well not. This

117
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: started a little quarrel with my other brothers, who all

118
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: agreed beforehand to split the bill. Annie stepped in and

119
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: said I could pay for them, since white trash makes

120
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: do oh also really quick, really quick to say that

121
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: phrase in front of a bunch of people that you

122
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: don't really know.

123
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 3: And also a bunch of people that you all know

124
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 3: each other well that yes, but also a bunch of

125
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 3: people that you would just accuse of being like kind

126
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: of violent and like.

127
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, You're like like if you yeah, then

128
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: you're about to have that violence all brought down on you.

129
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

130
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: That is a wild thing to say. I mean, at

131
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: least she has the confidence to speak her mind. Like

132
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: that's the silver lining I'm seeing here. But uh, don't

133
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: do that. Don't do that. Annie is trying to fight,

134
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: that is true, tay Daisha Powell. This started to fight

135
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: with Margo, who threw wine on her and said, what

136
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: white trash you got it.

137
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 3: See That's what I'm saying. If you, if you call

138
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 3: someone white trash.

139
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: Expect them to act like white trash, which I guess

140
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: is what Margo did. I tried to take control, but

141
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: Annie was already trying to get on Margo, which is

142
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, Annie, kind of a crashy thing to do.

143
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: Row and Trish took her outside and the rest of

144
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: us settled the bill and apologized for the Sturman's two staff.

145
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: When we left, we saw Annie swinging at Trish, with

146
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: Roe trying to get in between. I immediately stepped in

147
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: and told Annie to leave. You need to leave that

148
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: until she apologizes that she wasn't allowed at any family

149
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: gatherings and told Finn that if she ever tries anything,

150
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: to call us immediately. Finn said that would be a

151
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: problem and broke up with her right then and there,

152
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: telling her to call.

153
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,080

Speaker 1: before there was a draft. You know what, I'm gonna

160
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: also say, I am also a conscientious objector.

161
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you are.

162
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: I am. What Have I ever thrown hands?

163
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: I don't think you ever have.

164
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:23,679
Speaker 1: No, I've wrestled.

165
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that was like part of the that was

166
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: that was like that was like professional professionally.

167
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: No, I did. I did have to. I did break

168
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: up a few I used force to break up a

169
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: few fights in Australia. Whoa who I had to rip

170
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: one of my friends off of this guy who was

171
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: kind of being really creepy and laying hands on one

172
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: of the girls in our group. Yeah, yikes.

173
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 3: Well, anyway, Sam's a conscience.

174
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: I have a conscient dejector. I only used force to

175
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: end force. I don't think that that's what I think.

176
00:08:59,000 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: That's war. Actually, I.

177
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 3: Never used That is literally what the government says ever

178
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 3: everywhere I think.

179
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: Well, he was apparently very upset to be called white

180
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: trash and didn't like how she talked to me. He

181
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: also later said she looks like she would accuse me

182
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: of something and that she apparently has done that to

183
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: her ex Ooh that is not a good look, my friend.

184
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: The problem I'm currently dealing with is Annie's social circle,

185
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: and he comes from a pretty affluent part of our community,

186
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: like went to a private school and had a personal

187
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: chef and nanny, kind of rich herd. A bunch of

188
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: her wealthy friends have tried to defame me, sending emails

189
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: to my boss and coworkers. I told them to reply

190
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: that they would be forwarding the email to me, and

191
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: I will sue for intimidation and defamation if she coninued

192
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: to do so to me or any of my family members.

193
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,599
Speaker 1: The emails haven't bothered most of my coworkers, but I

194
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: have a select dozen that already didn't like me and

195
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: now are using this to make my work life. Hell,

196
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: why does Annie suck so more? Ruch so so much?

197
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: Anny, yu suck so much?

198
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, this is a little whack. It's a little wack.

199
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's just like so funny that Annie, the person.

200
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: Who like is like, oh, I'm so classy. He's doing

201
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: the least class.

202
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 3: She's getting into physical fights, She's this is not what

203
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 3: I would define is classy.

204
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, harassment. Ain't classy girl?

205
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 3: Classy?

206
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: Classy? Assy?

207
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I wasn't gonna sing.

208
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: Is that of swear?

209
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: Yes?

210
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: Sassy. Oh hmm, yeah, they s was silent. Well, I've

211
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: already spoken to my bosses about it, and they are

212
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: monitoring those coworker emails to assure Annie isn't sending anything.

213
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: Margo told me I should go ahead with my threat

214
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: the next time someone gets an email and file defamation

215
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: charges along with intimidation and emotional damages. The thing is

216
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: is Annie is twenty three, she's barely out of school,

217
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: and this will wreck her life. Okay, maybe she.

218
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 3: Needs I'm sorry. I'm not getting into fiscal flights at

219
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 3: twenty three.

220
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, twenty three is old enough to know better.

221
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's got to learn the day, so barely out

222
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 3: of school, yeah, two years.

223
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: I know she's attempting to wreck mind, but I can't

224
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: help but feel like taking her to court is excessive?

225
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: Am I being too nice? Would I be the A

226
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: hole if I fall through and press charges? What do

227
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: we think Sophia is op the a hole for falling

228
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: through and pressing charges?

229
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 3: The thing is that I think you would only be

230
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 3: the ale if you lied about things, exaggerated things, and

231
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 3: then she went to court and went to jail for that.

232
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 3: The if she goes there is no you know, there's

233
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: no right now, we don't know for certain that she

234
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 3: would go you know, have a record or anything. Yeah,

235
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: and we'd go press charges. And if she does get

236
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: a record or if anything changes, that written.

237
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: Most like her actions have your actions. I do think that. So,

238
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: like we've read stories. I think there was a story

239
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: about like a thirteen year old who stole this guy's bike,

240
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: and then you remember that story and then the guy

241
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: was like super vindictive and he's like, yeah, I'm making

242
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: sure this kid goes to jail.

243
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 3: And I remember I said that seems intense for a

244
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 3: thirteen year old and everyone got mad at me.

245
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I feel like, like, yes, you know, make

246
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: sure the kid has consequences. But I don't know if

247
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: they necessarily need to be super intense. What this person

248
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: is doing is it's consistent.

249
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 3: That she would get jail time.

250
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if she would get jail time, but

251
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: it's consistent. It's consistent harassment.

252
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not like she threw like attached to you

253
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 3: in the parking lot one time or anything like the

254
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 3: thing that she did first and then stopped. Yeah, she

255
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 3: is continuous continue to go after you.

256
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it would be one thing if it's

257
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: like you set one email and he's like, I'm getting

258
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: the police on you. But this is, this is, this

259
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: is too much and it's effected. I mean, it's affecting

260
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: Opie's mental health and potentially a career.

261
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is And also she totally ruined

262
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: your birthday, so.

263
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: That's yeah not cool. And you know, I mean, even

264
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: if you were to go overboard, you have a birthday pass.

265
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 3: You have a birthday pass.

266
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: I don't think you use yet cannot cannot do anything,

267
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: do anything. So in conclusion, Opie, you are not the ahole.

268
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: I think if she's continue doing this, I think you

269
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: should probably do something about it, because I agree, doesn't

270
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: she have other stuff to do?

271
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 3: Like doesn't she have like work?

272
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, or like a life.

273
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 3: I don't know you have a hobby.

274
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: But a Reddit said not the a hole and we

275
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: got some relevant comments, so ope. On Annie being around

276
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: family and how Opie's brothers are well off, Opie says,

277
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: I think it's because she never has really been around

278
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: the family. Finn has his own business and makes pretty

279
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: good money for his age. He actually helped Kyle set

280
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: up his shop and offer to co sign Rob's loan

281
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: for the motor home. Rob is too stubborn to take it,

282
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: though not many people would guess he's from a humble

283
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: beginning since he already paid off his condo and owns

284
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: his cars, So all other people see, including Annie, are

285
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: his money line pockets instead of a boy who could

286
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: barely pass algebra. I love a come up story and

287
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: convert to one says you're not going to wreck her life.

288
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: You're going to rattle her chain, shake up her status quo.

289
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: Who knows, maybe it'll make her into an actual person.

290
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: I say, let fly, not the a hole we got.

291
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: An update? I agree, I agree, I agree, so update who. Firstly,

292
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: I want to thank everybody in my prior post. I

293
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: the tendency to overthink, and it makes decisions like this

294
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: incredibly hard. A lot has happened in the past ten days,

295
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: so I'll just give the events an order of happening.

296
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: Two days after my post went up, Margo's car got egged.

297
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 3: Annie. What are you doing Annie? In this economy?

298
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: And this, yeahs this economy bucket piece.

299
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 3: I bought six eggs and he were six dollars.

300
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: Actually, yes, that's insane. Yes, eggs are are white, round

301
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: gold that's too many dollars for eggs, and you're just

302
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: throwing about the car. I mean, she is well off,

303
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: she's got she's throwing an organic eggs, eggs, got chicken money,

304
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: got that chicken money. She and two of her neighbors

305
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: caught the perpetrators on camera, and two of Annie's flying

306
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: monkeys which I am now calling them because someone in

307
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: the og post call them that, and I laughed so

308
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: hard at the accuracy, were taken into custody. And boy

309
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: were these girls rats. They sold out Annie in a heartbeat.

310
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: I almost pity the poor girl until I came out

311
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: of work and found the words you deserved your miscarriage

312
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: spray painted on my bar hood. Annie.

313
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 3: That's just fool, fool harassment. Annie.

314
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: Did you not learn your lesson?

315
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 3: Annie? You are not okay?

316
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: Are you okay? And information? I suffered at miscarriage at

317
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year after one of my students

318
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: I work in a behavioral school punted me down the

319
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: stair wall. I had been trying to help another teacher

320
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: and there was a security guard also present, but the

321
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: kid punted my shin and nobody caught me in time.

322
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: I was six months along while it happened and suffered

323
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: it while at work. It was a whole scene with ambulance,

324
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: adam and staff just for staff. Meanwhile, I was bleeding

325
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: and crying. I was giving PTO for two weeks. By

326
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: the time I returned to work, everybody knew. I got

327
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: plenty of soft looks. Everybody made my food and tried

328
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: to make me feel better, even the ladies who didn't

329
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: like me. I was just thankful summer vacation was coming up.

330
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 3: Did that get just expelled?

331
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's a behavioral school. I believe. So

332
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: it's like kids basically that are their thing is just

333
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: kicking people downstairs. Oh, doom in on me, don't look

334
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: at me. But I believe that. I believe that is

335
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: what those kind of schools are. But yeah, oh it's

336
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: so heartbreaking, so heartbreaking. Annie is using that like she's

337
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: using that as fool.

338
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 3: Wow, you monster, and I oh keep saying like, oh.

340
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: were old enough. I took photos of the vandalism and

341
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: presented it to my boss since the paint was still wet,

342
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: which means there should be camera evidence. Annie is dude,

343
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: Annie's about to actually get some jail time. Like I

00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: After thirty minutes, my boss, one of the coworkers like me,

348
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,840

Speaker 4: I don't have the parents.

409
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well back to Annie, Back to Annie, are you okay?

410
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: They also had security look through the parking lot footage

411
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: and got the license plate on Annie's car screeching out

412
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: of the parking lot with her tossing a can of

413
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: spray paint out the window and denting another car in the.

414
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 3: Process for littering too, littering, double vandalism.

415
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: Yoicks police were called in the spray can was taken

416
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: as evidence. I was advised to get a lawyer and

417
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: press charges. Let's go. At this point, I decided to

418
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: talk to a lawyer. So I looked at lawyers when

419
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: I got home and consulted one the next day via

420
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: virtual con Via virtual consultation, he offered to do the

421
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: case pro bono as he had a bone to pick

422
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: with Annie's mother. Not my business at hell, but WHOA

423
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: was that story crazier than mine. We drafted all evidence

424
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: into a compiled document and went through with pressing the

425
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: charges for the damage to my car, as well as

426
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: intimidation and emotional distress. Let me tell y'all, I was

427
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: expecting there to be a blowout when this happened. But

428
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: Karma ate her up. Annie is about to get her

429
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: come uppets.

430
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 3: Annie watched Go girl, Let's go.

431
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: Apparently Annie has more than just what he did to me.

432
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: Coworker who's car she dent when she threw out the

433
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: spray can was pressing charges. Marco was also pressing charges

434
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: for emotional distress. Also turns out she has been going

435
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: after my brothers, sending her flying monkeys. They were review

436
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: bombing Kyle shop. They slashed three tires on Rob's mobile home.

437
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: She had even been sending complaints to Owen's boss through

438
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: customer service lines, and she had stolen Jack's fence around

439
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: his house. Who's the s Steel's offense? The amounting charges

440
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: finally caught Daddy's attention because he had everybody who was

441
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: pressing charges come to one of his properties to talk

442
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: it out. One of his properties, one of his properties

443
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: they about to get paid.

444
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 3: Whoa she's been looking for dundee'shoo.

445
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: Man. He had paid her bail and was keeping her

446
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: in close proximity to assure he didn't get into any

447
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: more mischief. Margo said she'd be bringing her lawyer, and

448
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: everybody else did the same. So it was actually pretty

449
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: funny watching Annie's face as we all pulled up with

450
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: our lawyers, with the exception of Finn, who was just

451
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: coming as a character witness and had a file of

452
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: evidence all on his own. He'd been pasting him in,

453
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: blackmailing him, and was ready to feed these absolutely dang

454
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: danging evidences to the pack of lawyers who were attending.

455
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: It's worth to note that I had not gotten to

456
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: the spray paint removed, so when Annie's father saw it.

457
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: You could see the boiling quiet rage in his clayre

458
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: Annie's father WHI old dub. Hunter also had his lawyer present.

459
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: The sit down lasted two days, with all the lawyers

460
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: going over the different charges and appropriate ways to punish them.

461
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: My coworker was simply paid out with some extra financial

462
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: conversation and a few coupons from Hunter's businesses. Jack was

463
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: returned to his fence and Hunter paid to have it reinstalled, repainted,

464
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: and for a ten year warranty. Jack still stayed as

465
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: emotional support since Mark was away on business. All the

466
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: false reviews were removed from Kyle's shop and Hunter paid

467
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: for any lost revenue. That talk was done between Hunter

468
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: and Kyle in private, so I don't know how much

469
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: was paid. I feel like it should be like, you know,

470
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: two three times what was lost?

471
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 4: You know?

472
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 2: Yeah?

473
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 3: I mean also, he's still.

474
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: I have no idea.

475
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 3: I don't understand.

476
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: Honestly, Annie feels a little crafty.

477
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 3: I agree.

478
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: Hunter also contacted Owen's boss, who apparently they went to

479
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: school with, and set and set the record straight. Hunter

480
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: also decided to pay for Trician Owen's honeymoon as excess compensation.

481
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: That just left Margo Robin I. The lawyers US three

482
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: and Hunter agreed to culminate the charges into one case,

483
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: and Hunter was able to wrangle the district attorney to

484
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: come and strike a plea deal. I can't say much

485
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: about that case since it's ongoing, but just know Annie

486
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,719
Speaker 1: will be paying for her crimes. Hunter offered to get

487
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: me a new car. I had been driving the same

488
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: car for ten years, and I told him I'd settle

489
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: for a used one. Why dude, get.

490
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 3: Your bag, girl, dude, why why are we not trying

491
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 3: to get our money. If someone says I'll buy a

492
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 3: new car for you and their daughter crash your car

493
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 3: and you know stressed that car one.

494
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: Hundred made of us, saying I didn't raise my daughter

495
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: like this, This is all her mother. Like wow, this

496
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: woman might must be a demon if even her own

497
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: husband throws her under the bus like that. So Hunter

498
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: is taking me car shopping. WiFi is apparently pissed that

499
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: Hunter isn't covering for their little princess and Annie is

500
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: getting her just desserts. Funny how money is indeed a

501
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: very powerful thing, as Hunter even got the case to

502
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: be moved to a priority list and thus proceedings will

503
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: be sped up top everything off. Hunter said all the

504
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: payouts will be coming out of Annie's incredace nice. I

505
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: feel like OPI I don't know why Op. He didn't

506
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: take the bag. You know what she is? Mm hmm

507
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: he was he a Minster but like but like I

508
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: feel like she should have been advocating for more of

509
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: a back. You know. It's like she's like, oh, no, no, no,

510
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: I just I'd like, just get me a used car, like,

511
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: get a freaking I don't know, like what what's what's

512
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: a nice car? A Mayback, a BM A BMW, A

513
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: a Prius A yeah, a Prius, but one of the

514
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: new sleek ones. What's a good card Riley?

515
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 4: A Ferrari, Dude, a Ferrari, Lamborghini.

516
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't know. I feel like, oh, he

517
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: doesn't want to.

518
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 4: She might get like a Ford Bronco.

519
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: Oh, dude, Ford Bronco. Bo Broncos are sick, like a

520
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: nineteen sixties Ford Bronco. Yeah, and he has to pay

521
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: for the maintenance break down.

522
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 3: If I had the opportunity to get the like any

523
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 3: car that I wanted, I think it's dev patel Uh.

524
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 3: He bought this like old old car, like really beautiful

525
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 3: vintage car. Yeah, got found a guy to retro fit

526
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 3: it to become an electric car for like thirty five

527
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 3: thousand dollars or something.

528
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. I feel like every car guy would

529
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: be like if you heard, If Christian heard that, he

530
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: would be like, you're ruining the car.

531
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't care.

532
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: But I don't care. Yeah, a Lincoln Nautilus, a Porsh Yeah, guys,

533
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: what is your dream car? Safe? Flower says, I laughed.

534
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: A Prius Freezes were a good car, which is why

535
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: he was okay with giving out so much excess compensation

536
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: and god Annie's face. I wish I could have photographed it.

537
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: I have no issues updating once the proceedings are finished.

538
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: I will make sure to keep a spare tab open

539
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: just so I don't lose the throwaway. It seems to

540
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: be pretty happy ending for me. I didn't expect it

541
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: to be solved in under ten days. But Hunter is

542
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: a very nice man. Maybe the gen Z's shouldn't eat

543
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: this rich guy. He's a good one. He even invited

544
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: Mark Tristan row out for drinks to discuss compensation for

545
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: the scene at dinner two Right now, I'm just relaxing

546
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: on my sofa. Well Mark makes popcorn. We're about to

547
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: binge some cartoons. We like spending our sundays like that.

548
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: Glad I was able to update you all. Thank you

549
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: for your words of encouragement. I will be back one

550
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: last time after the corporateceedings, and maybe another if my

551
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: Lord gives me permission to tell his story about Annie's mom.

552
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: And if we haven't Edito, we haven't edit. I see

553
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people misinterpreting how these charges are being processed,

554
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: and this is mostly in part to my poor wordings.

555
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: So allow me to clarify. Annie has a record, but

556
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: Hunter always bailed her out. The cops advised me to

557
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: lawyer up and press charges because Annie has a history

558
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: of doing things like this and getting away with it.

559
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: The process is still long and the cops stay collect evidence.

560
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: It was due to Annie's familial name that makes things

561
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: a lot quicker. Hunter is a tycoon of sorts with

562
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: many of his affiliations paying for Annie's lifestyle, is a

563
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: lot of fingers, a lot of pies, and thus holds

564
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: a lot of power in her town. The sit down

565
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: was to minimize Annie's criminal charges to see what would

566
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: be worth going to court for or not. This is

567
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: why Owen, my co worker, Kyle, and Jack got paid out. However,

568
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: the charges from Rob, Margot and I are still being processed.

569
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: The DA was called after the sit down. As I

570
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: said in a comment, it is not in common for

571
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: Laura's to sit with a perpetrator to find common ground.

572
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: We all had to sign documents of the sit down

573
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: stating what was done and what was accomplished from there.

574
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't have any idea as I haven't heard from

575
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: my laury about court dates. It will still take months

576
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: for charges to go through and for us to go

577
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: to court, even on the priority list. If there's any confusion,

578
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: please comment and I'll try to clear things up. And

579
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: we got some relevant comments OPA not leading a lawyer

580
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: to press charges against Annie OPI respond note I was

581
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: advised to lawyer up due to Annie's familial reputation, and

582
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: Hunter actually had the DA come once all our cases

583
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: has been compiled and organized. So like I mean, if

584
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: Hunter had not been so awesome and giving and like

585
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: chill about this, he could have poured a bunch of

586
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: money into his lawyers and probably made it very difficult

587
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: for OP or anyone to get there to get their back,

588
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: so you kind of need a lawyer for that. Yeah. Yeah,

589
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: he wanted to minimize Annie's criminal charges, hence the sit down,

590
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: to which he paid out. My coworker, Kile Owen, and

591
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: Jack and we all had to sign documents about the

592
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: sit down and what we got out of it, which

593
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: will be used in the court case as to prevent

594
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: us from pursuing heftier sums. It isn't uncommon for lawyers

595
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: to consult victims and perpetrators to try to find common ground.

596
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: This is what the sit down was, and that is

597
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: where that story ends. But we got another story for

598
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: you coming right up.

599
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 4: Wait.

600
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 3: Oh wow.

601
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm glad Annie got her. I'm glad Annie got her

602
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: come up and aimed.

603
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 3: Too, and everyone else got what they deserved in terms

604
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 3: of retribution.

605
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, retribution. Hey, it's Sam. We get back to the stories.

606
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,960

Speaker 3: my mom provide his end of life care at home.

614
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 3: It was agonizing. We didn't sleep for eight days, but

615
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 3: I am at peace knowing that I did everything I

616
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 3: possibly could to honor my father and support my mother.

621
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 3: the party, and everyone said he looked like a particularly famous,

622
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 3: attractive celebrity. He was the youngest of three but had

623
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 3: a very patriarchal role in his Italian family, so it

624
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 3: really changed the family dynamic when he passed. He and

625
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 3: his older sister, Jill fifty five female, were Irish twins

626
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 3: born with twelve months within twelve months of each other,

627
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 3: and behave like twins in a lot of ways. His

628
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 3: older brother, Jack fifty eight male, is a different story.

629
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 3: I've always felt that he was a little resentful towards

630
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 3: my dad. He's a one upper and can't let anyone

631
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 3: have a story or thought more interesting than one of

632
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 3: his own. Doesn't sound pleasant to be round bull I

633
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 3: once said that I was having a rough day because

634
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 3: I had to bathe all three of my dogs by myself,

635
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 3: and his response was, well, you've never had to be

636
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 3: at the cat, so you have a dazy Every conversation

637
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 3: with sound way harder. Now. Jack can also be wholesome.

638
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 3: He loves his family, regularly drives hours from where he

639
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 3: lives to spend the weekend visiting and helping out his mother,

640
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: my grandmother, and even offers to help my mom with

641
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 3: any manual tasks my dad would have been responsible for.

642
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 3: He and I are the two fantasy loving nerds in

643
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 3: a family of jocks. He sends me book recommendations and

644
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 3: checks in every few months. I love my uncle, but

645
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 3: his insecurities have led to some personality traits that can

646
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 3: sometimes make surface interaction with him difficult. When my dad

647
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 3: was declining, he took me on a drive and we

648
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 3: talked about all of the things he was going to miss,

649
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 3: one of which WHI was my wedding. He told me

650
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 3: that a few months prior to my boyfriend Ben then

651
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 3: twenty five Mail now twenty seven Mail, had asked for

652
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 3: his blessing to marry me. Without my knowledge, Ben and

653
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 3: I had been talking about getting engaged, but had previously

654
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 3: agreed to wait until I finished grad school. But faced

655
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 3: with the reality that my dad would never live to

656
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: walk me down the aisle, I asked Ben if he

657
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 3: would consider getting engaged earlier so that my dad would

658
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 3: at least get to celebrate that with us.

659
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: Oh, that's so heartbreaking and cute at the same time.

660
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 3: He agreed, and we ended up getting engaged twenty days

661
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 3: before my dad passed away. Ah. My mom and I

662
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 3: did not sleep in the eight days leading to his passing.

663
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 3: We had to watch him twenty four seven, providing pain medication,

664
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 3: water back massages to relieve the pain of what we

665
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 3: would later learn was tumors, breaking his ribs, and trying

666
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 3: to soak up every last moment of his life. Three

667
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 3: nights before he passed away, I got a text from Jack.

668
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 3: He and Jill had checked in a few times, but

669
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 3: we're respecting my dad's wishes. No one else see him

670
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 3: in the state. The text was not a check in.

671
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 3: It was a picture of Jack's oldest son, Charlie twenty

672
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 3: eight male and his girlfriend Kate, with a new ring

673
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 3: on their finger. Very tone deaf, very tone deaf.

674
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:20,919
Speaker 1: What in the days before in the days.

675
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 3: Before your brother and your niece's father.

676
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: Is about to pass I mean, I guess like maybe

677
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: maybe they were thinking, oh, like he would want to

678
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: know about this moment before he passes away. Maybe maybe

679
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: that was like the in the same way that uh

680
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: uh op he wanted him to know about the gradu

681
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: the engagement before he passed. Maybe it was like a

682
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: maybe it was something like that.

683
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 3: The caption read, Charlie, couldn't let you be the only

684
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 3: one engaged in the family.

685
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 4: Hmmm, that changes things.

686
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 3: I was taken aback. First of all, I'm caring for

687
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 3: my passing away father. I don't have the emotional capacity

688
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 3: to get excited about a cousin getting engaged right now. Second,

689
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 3: why phrase it like that? Is now really the time

690
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 3: to tell me I'm not allowed to have anything special?

691
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 3: And finally, wow, way to let me know how emotionally

692
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 3: disconnected my cousin is from the current family tragedy.

693
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: Uugh that is yeah.

694
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, in hindsight, I'm not upset about Charlie and Kate

695
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 3: getting engaged when they did. I know Kate wanted a

696
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 3: professional photographer aout the proposal, and it's very possible it

697
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 3: was a plan that just couldn't be moved. But Jack

698
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 3: announcing it to me in that way in the middle

699
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 3: of something so devastating, was incredibly tone deaf. He could

700
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 3: have very easily waited to bring it up. I did

701
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 3: not respond to the text. This is where any grace

702
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 3: I've afforded. Jack sharply declines. The morning my dad passed

703
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,439
Speaker 3: away was the worst day of my life.

704
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: Oh, man, I put, I ses, I I just know that,

705
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: h it's Jack right. If Jack pulls anything today that

706
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: that day I mean, which I feel like, is going

707
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: to happen. Oh, I mean, how how are you that

708
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: toned down?

709
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

710
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: Uh?

711
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 3: My mom was inconsolable, so all the phone calls to

712
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 3: the doctor, the hospice, nurse, the funeral home, his siblings,

713
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 3: and worst of all, my little brother. He's in the

714
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 3: military and couldn't eve until the celebration of life fell

715
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 3: to me. We allowed his mom and siblings to come

716
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 3: say goodbye while we waited for the funeral home to

717
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 3: come collect his body. During that time, I read aloud

718
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 3: the obituary my mom and I have been writing in

719
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 3: the notes app on her phone. Jack had to step

720
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 3: out for a moment to breathe which was understandable, so

721
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 3: I handed him the phone to read by himself. When

722
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 3: he got back, instead of reading for content, he proudly announced,

723
00:36:58,560 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 3: I found a typo.

724
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what. Maybe he's just really really wants

725
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: it to be grammatically correct.

726
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 3: My mom broke out of her near cataton Cataitania, Catatonia, Catatonia,

727
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 3: cataton Catatonia, broke out of being near Catatonic to tell

728
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 3: him off and stormed out of the room. He followed her,

729
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 3: but instead of apologizing, said, well, at my defense, I

730
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 3: thought he wrote.

731
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: It well, so you wanted to hurt Op's feelings.

732
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 3: I wasn't there for that conversation. I was right next

733
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 3: to Jill when she said she was glad my mom

734
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 3: called Jack on his BS.

735
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean again, like maybe maybe Jack doesn't just or

736
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: doesn't read emotional cues.

737
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's pretty clear though.

738
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe he's not trying to. Maybe he's just he's

739
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: just you know, yeah, yeah, AM's pond says some people

740
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: grieve differently, unfortunately, some people turn to jokes. Maybe he's

741
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 1: trying to make jokes or he's trying to, uh, he's trying,

742
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: like he's trying to make sense. Of this not maybe

743
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: he's not maybe he's not trying to be maybe maybe

744
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: he's not trying to be annoying. He's just he just is.

745
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 3: Eventually everyone left my mom and me alone to process.

746
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 3: She called her sister and I called benover to the

747
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 3: house to comfort me. Somewhere in there, I edited and

748
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 3: posted my dad's obituary on Facebook with all the details

749
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 3: of his celebration of life.

750
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: Did you correct the typo jokes?

751
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 3: On Jack? There were multiple typos he missed, so no, Ah, Well,

752
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 3: it's almost like that's what happens when your first draft

753
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 3: is written on your phone. I roll. Later that evening,

754
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 3: I got a text from Jill. We live in a

755
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 3: small town, and as people were finding out about my dad,

756
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 3: they were reaching out to Jill so as not to

757
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 3: bother my mom and me. Jill told me that she

758
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 3: was directing people who wanted to bring us food to

759
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 3: bring it to her house. We're a five minute walk

760
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 3: away and stay for a drink. In my dad's honor.

761
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 3: It was turning into a small local wake. He wanted

762
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 3: my mom and me to know it was happening, but

763
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 3: put no pressure on us to join if we didn't

764
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 3: feel ready. We decided to go, but my mom was

765
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 3: still on the phone with her sister, so Ben and

766
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 3: I arrived first. It was really good to see so

767
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 3: many people who loved my dad. I was so beyond

768
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 3: tired by that point that it took the edge off

769
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 3: of reality, so I was even able to talk and

770
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 3: laugh without crying. All of the food people had brought

771
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 3: was set out potluck style, which was great because there

772
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 3: was no way we'd be able to fit it all

773
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 3: in Mom's freezer. As Ben and I were loading up

774
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 3: her plates, there came Jack. Maybe he thought it would

775
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 3: be a good distraction. Maybe it's because he hadn't seen

776
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 3: Ben yet, But the first thing Jack said to us

777
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 3: was not to resh you guys, but Charlie and Kate

778
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 3: already have a venue. Like it was a race and

779
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 3: we were losing.

780
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: Maybe he just needs a win, you know, I mean

781
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 1: again there in the middle of this week. Yeah, And

782
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, by the way, I know you got

783
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: like something going on over here, but like you should

784
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: really think about this wedding because we're going to beat

785
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: you and then you're gonna be a.

786
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 3: Louther a louth.

787
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: And he's like, yeah, yeah, man, how is this guy?

788
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: I just don't understand how he's like, is he doing

789
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: this on purpose? Like he must be doing this on purpose? Right?

790
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean he's.

791
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 3: Doing it on purpose to an extent, at least he's

792
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,280
Speaker 3: saying these things on purpose.

793
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 4: All of his life, he's been the lesser cousin, the

794
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 4: lesser family member, and for once in his life, the

795
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 4: golden cousin is falling from his throne and he thinks, oh,

796
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 4: I should read for time post instead of reading for

797
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 4: the room.

798
00:40:54,719 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 3: Oh okay, Riley, Okay, I so beyond shocked. There are

799
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 3: so many things I wanted to say. We've always wanted

800
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 3: a long engagement. When was I supposed to a wedding

801
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 3: plan in the three weeks leading up to my dad's passing,

802
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 3: What the F is wrong with you? But I was

803
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 3: so exhausted and grief stricken that no words came. Luckily, Jill,

804
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 3: who I hadn't even noticed come inside, immediately jumped in, Jack,

805
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 3: it's not a competition. This is not a competition, and Ben,

806
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 3: bless him, smiled and came right back with And even

807
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 3: if it was, going first is a disadvantage because it's

808
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 3: so much easier to one up.

809
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, We're gonna blow your wedding out of the water.

810
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 3: Jack's face fell and he left the room. I would

811
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 3: love to say it ended there, but in all of

812
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,919
Speaker 3: the grief and trauma processing, my anger at the things

813
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 3: Jack said to me only festered. As I began wedding planning.

814
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 3: There was a part of me that couldn't stop thinking

815
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,439
Speaker 3: about what Ben said. If I wanted, I really could

816
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 3: one up Charlie and Kate's wedding, but I held myself

817
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 3: back because it felt wrong to direct anger from my

818
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 3: uncle at my cousin. And then I found out what

819
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 3: Charlie said at my dad's celebration. My closest cousin is

820
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 3: Jill's daughter Tess. Apparently at the celebration, Charlie heard that

821
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 3: my mom was upset at Jack for the things he said,

822
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 3: and Charlie told tests, I don't get why she's mad

823
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 3: when my parents gave them all that money. The money

824
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 3: he's referring to is from when the doctors told my

825
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 3: parents that my dad only had a few months left.

826
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 3: My grandmother, Jill, and Jack all decided to split the

827
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 3: price to charter a private jet to send my parents, brother,

828
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 3: and me on one final family vacation. To my dad's

829
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 3: favorite place in the world. It was incredibly expensive, but

830
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 3: they insisted as my dad was not physically well enough

831
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 3: to fly commercially, so this was the only way we

832
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 3: could do it. Wow, my parents paid for everything. Once

833
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 3: we reached our destination, the family was thanked profusely, and

834
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 3: we bought them all meaningful gifts. This place is known

835
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 3: for its butterfly museum, and my dad would bring me

836
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 3: a new preserved butterfly display every time he visited, so

837
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 3: we brought back one for each of them. It's worth

838
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 3: noting that Jack called to tell me his wife would

839
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 3: never hang something like that in her house and regifted it.

840
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 3: That's fine, No one is obligated to like something they

841
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 3: didn't ask for. But why did Jack feel the need

842
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 3: to tell me she'd done so so? Apparently, in Charlie's mind,

843
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 3: writing a check grants you permissioned to be an ale

844
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 3: to two women who have just become a widow and

845
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 3: a half and half orphaned, noted half orphaned.

846
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 1: I've ever heard of that word term before.

847
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 3: Maybe Charlie didn't know exactly.

848
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 1: Sorry enough full rough, full rough.

849
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 3: Maybe Charlie didn't know exactly what his dad said, but

850
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:48,320
Speaker 3: that's an interesting attitude to have, even without all the details.

851
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 3: Then mom was the only person not granted a plus

852
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 3: one to Charlie and Kate's wedding. Oh wait, wait, well,

853
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 3: OPHI's mom who just lost her husband, was not granted

854
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 3: a plus one like a.

855
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if that. If they were

856
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: having a small wedding, it wasn't.

857
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 3: Because of attendance restrictions either.

858
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: I really tried to be Devil's advocate here and that

859
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 1: op just be like nope.

860
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 3: There were multiple families with children there. Apparently they talked

861
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 3: to Jack and other family members about it and decided

862
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 3: that as a widow, it was more appropriate for her

863
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 3: to go alone. That was the last straw.

864
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you go with a friend or something?

865
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they didn't want her to.

866
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 1: So asest thing to do when someone's like life partner

867
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: passes away, to just isolate.

868
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 3: Them, Yeah, just like don't talk to them ever now.

869
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't talk to them, don't let them have friends around. No,

870
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 1: of course I thought, yeah, that would be it would

871
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 1: be too much.

872
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 3: So as Charlie and Kate's wedding approached, my mom and

873
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 3: I started taking notes there save the day didn't have

874
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 3: their names on it. The limitation was black with clear

875
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 3: relief faunt so it was completely eligible unless you held

876
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 3: it up to the light at an angle. In their

877
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 3: engagement photos, they tried to do that a leaf stair

878
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 3: instead of smiling, but they just looked angry or uncomfortable

879
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 3: in most of them. Their wedding website had one poorly

880
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 3: written paragraph about the night they met at a bar.

881
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 3: I didn't say anything to anyone about it. I wasn't

882
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 3: trying to be mean, but anytime they did something that

883
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 3: just seemed underthought or underplanned, I made note of it.

884
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 3: They got married between Christmas and New Year's another negative

885
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 3: in my opinion, that's everyone's break time. A little over

886
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 3: a year after my dad's passing, when we got to

887
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 3: the venue, there was a massive eight x ten photo

888
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 3: of my dad holding Charlie as a toddler next to

889
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 3: the card table. They did not have a close relationship.

890
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 3: Charlie literally got engaged while he was dying, so its

891
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 3: presence felt like they were capitalizing on grief in a

892
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,439
Speaker 3: way they weren't entitled to. We weren't warned it would

893
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 3: be there, and my mom and I both had to

894
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 3: excuse ourselves to cry out the surprise, anger, and unbidden

895
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 3: wave of grief. We stayed for a bit after dinner,

896
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 3: but left as soon as it felt appropriate. I don't

897
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 3: ever intend to see anything mean about their wedding. I mean, girl,

898
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 3: I fail, you're all here. I think you might might

899
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 3: be saying something.

900
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: I think. I think we're I think we're getting to

901
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: that point.

902
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 3: My mom and I are both perfectionist maximalists, and I

903
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 3: can honestly say that nothing we plan would be different

904
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 3: if we weren't partially motivated with spite. But I get

905
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 3: a petty amount of pleasure knowing that my wedding is

906
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 3: going to outshine theirs in every way. Here is a

907
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 3: complete list of upgrades my wedding has in comparison to

908
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 3: Charlie and Kates. Our invitations are legible, get wrecked. Everyone

909
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 3: I'm married gets a plus.

910
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: One boom, more fun people to mingle with.

911
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 3: Our wedding website has a short history of our relationship,

912
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 3: of our whole relationship, not just a paragraph about the

913
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 3: night we met.

914
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if everyone's going to read that, but

915
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 1: still cute.

916
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 3: They had three sprigs of eucalyptus on their table as decor.

917
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,240
Speaker 3: We have full floral arrangements.

918
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: A little more bobacious. The floral arrangement, the better the wedding.

919
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 3: Their venue had awful acoustics. Ours is meant for live music.

920
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 3: They had a DJ who never let a song go

921
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 3: past its first chorus. We had a ten piece band.

922
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool.

923
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 3: They had a candy bar. We had a fire pit

924
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 3: with a s'mores direct buyer is speaking of bars. Their

925
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 3: two bartenders could not keep up with demands, so we're

926
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 3: having four. As was always planned, there will be a

927
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 3: small memorial table for my dad with a photo of

928
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 3: the two of us nestled in some flowers and a

929
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 3: candle burning all night. It will separate. It will be

930
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,439
Speaker 3: separate from the card table so as not to force

931
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 3: everyone to visit it if it would make them uncomfortable.

932
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 3: We'll be warning the family it's there. Yes, I recognize

933
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 3: that we're privileged to have some of these things, particularly

934
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,280
Speaker 3: the budget for a band, but again, I never planned

935
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 3: to say anything about it. I'm not trying to flaunt

936
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 3: wealth or status. Kate's parents are in roughly the same

937
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 3: financial place as my mom, nor have I made my

938
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 3: wedding about them in any way. By the way, I'm

939
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 3: gonna make this about us because you can listen to

940
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 3: all episodes of stories just like this. Just go to Spotify,

941
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 3: Apple Podcasts, or iHeartRadio and search a pocas story time.

942
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 3: But there is a little bit left to the story.

943
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 3: Do you have any final thoughts?

944
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds like whether or not this guy

945
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 1: is being an intentional a hole or an unintentional a hole,

946
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: his actions are hurting the people around him, and so

947
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: I feel like at a certain point, regardless of intention,

948
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:32,800
Speaker 1: you just have to put some distance for your own sanity,

949
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: and it feels like op is starting to do that.

950
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 3: I agree, Andy, Yeah, it just seems like your cousin

951
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 3: and Jack not not not behaving well at all, and

952
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 3: just enjoy that you had a great wedding. Yeah, or

953
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 3: are having a great wedding.

954
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: I guess agreed.

955
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 3: Queen Procrastinations has never had a s'more.

956
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Fix that right now. You can get a

957
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: gram cracker.

958
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 3: Just get a gram cracker, a marshmallow and some chocolate

959
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 3: and put the marshmallow over and over. You can do

960
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 3: in the microwave too.

961
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was fun. That was fun. But you could

962
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: put an open flame like on the stove.

963
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 3: That's true. Yeah, that's true. That's your homework.

964
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, homework.

965
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,399
Speaker 3: But there is a little bit left to story. I'm

966
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 3: marrying a person who loves, protects and supports me, surrounded

967
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 3: by people who do the same. In our wedding is

968
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,919
Speaker 3: so many little touches particular to our relationship and personalities.

969
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 3: This isn't really a petty revenge. If anything is a dare.

970
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 3: If Jack tries to say anything, I have a laundry

971
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 3: list of ways to shut him down in a way.

972
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 3: I just couldn't back then, because, after all, going first

973
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 3: is a disadvantage because it's so much easier to wanna.

974
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 3: The wedding is in October. I'll post an update if

975
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 3: anything goes down, and that is the end of that story.

976
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 2: Hates jeanyo og host Here we're gonna get back to

977
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:50,800
Speaker 2: the stories.

978
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: But here's a quick three minute break of Aspimer sponsors.

979
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 1: I think op taking the distance that she needs is

980
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: a good idea. I don't know if I would put so.

981
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 1: I feel like Ope's putting a little bit too you

982
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: much energy into this one up idea, which I don't

983
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: think is a good idea for your No, you are

984
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: your one upping.

985
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I know it would be like you are

986
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 3: You did give us like an itemized list of one up, and.

987
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 1: I think, like, don't, don't focus on that. Just focus

988
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: on getting the space you need for this person and

989
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,399
Speaker 1: focus on having a great wedding. It is probably gonna

990
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 1: be amazing, but you don't need to compare it to

991
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: anything else. It's just going to be amazing that it is.

992
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:30,839
Speaker 1: But I am going to thieve away into the night

993
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:34,560
