1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: I need to tell my landlord I'm moving out. But

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: she's my stepmom my twenty four female. Stepmom sixty two

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: female has been in my life since I was fourteen.

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: She met my dad fifty four male in twenty twelve

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: and they started dating. Stepmom was married to another man

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: at the time, but it was mostly a marriage of convenience.

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: He bought her a new house, paid off her two

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: family homes, bought her four cars, did any remodeling slash

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: upkeep at her home, and fixed anything that broke. He

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: passed in twenty twenty. She and my dad then went

11
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: on to Mary in twenty twenty one. Since I was

12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: living with my dad at the time, they gave me

13
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: the option to move into my stepmom's house with them.

14
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: I couldn't afford to live on my own at that

15
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: point in my life, so I was super grateful and

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: felt blessed. Not long after, things went down a hill.

17
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: I always do?

18
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 2: Is that always doing? Reddit?

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: By the way, this comes from Anxious Seal sixty sixty

20
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: four on the Okay Storytime subured it so I was

21
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: paying to inhabit the home. A small portion of rent

22
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: quote unquote paid off house as well as the utilities.

23
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: I wasn't mad about paying to live there. I expected

24
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: it and was still appreciative. However, my stepmom started treating

25
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: me like an on call cook and made and again,

26
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: oh he is paying rent. I was to not only

27
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: cook and clean, but she nitpicked everything and it was

28
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: never good enough. I also worked full time. My step

29
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: mom doesn't work, and my dad works part time, so

30
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: sometimes after working a full day at work, I'd have

31
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: to come home to cook and clean. I was exhausted

32
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: and quickly becoming burnt out. After many arguments in which

33
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 1: it was my parents versus me, where I was constantly

34
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: gas lit, I ended up having a small breakdown. My

35
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: birth mother was abusive, so it was a triggering situation

36
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: for me, and I moved out to some apartments. Our

37
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: relationship improved when I was no longer under her roof.

38
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Oh with the step mom, okay, which I think is

39
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: a good I think that's the current situation. She moved out, Yeah,

40
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: which I think is the best solution here, because it is.

41
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: It's not especially if you're paying rent to them. It's

42
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: not fair for them to treat you like the maid

43
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: slash cook.

44
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially if like you never agreed. Yeah, you never

45
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: heard that take on that responsibility.

46
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: Eight months later, the ceiling in my apartment collapsed due

47
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: to a leak from the upstairs neighbor after being ignored slash,

48
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: not taken seriously by maintenance for months.

49
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: Oh there was mold.

50
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: And asbestos everywhere. The apartment stunk. The ac had went out.

51
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: I was there with my two kittens, ugh and concern

52
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: for our health and safety. So I planned to break

53
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: the lease and move. This is where my stepmom comes

54
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: back in.

55
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: Oh no, yeah.

56
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: So this was the apartment. Oh I see. I was like,

57
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: what happened with the mold? But the ceiling collapsed. That

58
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: was mold, which in that case they absolutely should have proved.

59
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: Your landlord should have provided you with another place to

60
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: live while I was being fixed. That's ridiculous.

61
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that seems right. One of her.

62
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: Family homes, three bedroom, one bath, also located in the

63
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: worst part of town, was empty, and she offered to

64
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: rent it to me for three fifty a month.

65
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:00,839
Speaker 2: I'm with that.

66
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: Sheep, three bedrooms, one bath, since were family. I walked

67
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: through the house. It was disgusting. Oh, that's previous tenant

68
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: was her cousin, who was not only a smoker, but

69
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: elderly and on fixed income, so we never cleaned and

70
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: couldn't afford to have someone clean the home. It reeked

71
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: of sig smoke, walls, floors, appliances were yellow due to

72
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: nicotine staining. There were roaches everywhere. Also, I agreed to

73
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: move in since it was cheap rent and I needed

74
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: somewhere to go. But before I could, she informed me

75
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: I would be paying five fifty a month as opposed

76
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: to the three fifty. She just switch it up, you

77
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 1: can switch it up. I would be responsible Mingming says,

78
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: three bedroom, one bath, and a demon in the cabinet.

79
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: I would be responsible for the cleaning of the home.

80
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: My apartment knew I was leaving and I didn't have

81
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: any other options, so I accepted. I spent so much

82
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: of my own money to clean the home and bomb

83
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: slash spray for pests. It took me nearly a year

84
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: to be completely rid of roaches and get things clean

85
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: enough to where my skin wouldn't crawl.

86
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I mean with that much effort and

87
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: that much money, I feel like you could have just

88
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: found another place.

89
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Honestly, this home was also built in the fifties

90
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: and probably hasn't seen any sort of remodel since the seventies.

91
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: No big deal, just figured I'd mentioned this isn't the

92
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: nicest home and it's in a terrible part of town.

93
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 2: Two years.

94
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: I've been here for two years now. We've never wrote

95
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: up or signed an official lease, but I pay her

96
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: on the first of every month and act as a tenant.

97
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: The rent has gone up twice. I understand this economy

98
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: is not fit for anything inexpensive, but I felt scammed

99
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: as this is my family.

100
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: Yes, increased that standard. She's like, Mom, I'm your daughter.

101
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: What do you Mom?

102
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: I thought you wanted roommates. In the past six months,

103
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: I have been accused of stealing money. I have had

104
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: to house people slush pets at her will with no

105
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: compensation or heads up. And just recently, the AC went

106
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: out and I paid for the repair since she was

107
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: not present at the time of the repair. When I

108
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: sent her a cop give the bill and called to

109
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: ask if it would be deductive from rent, she lost

110
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: it on me and basically said, as a landlord in Tennessee,

111
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: I am not required to have functioning AC in my rental,

112
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: no matter how hot it is. Was I upset about

113
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: covering the repair. I was heard how she was treating me.

114
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm her family and she couldn't care less if I'm

115
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: living in her ninety degree house with my cats. A

116
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: few days later, she was charged one hundred and twenty

117
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: five dollars by her home insurance as a deductible for

118
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: the repair, and she sent it to me upset she

119
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: had to pay for it paid for what the repair

120
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: for the home insurance and informed me she would be

121
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: canceling her home owners insurance and if something broke or

122
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: went wrong, we just have to deal with it.

123
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 2: Move out. Literally, you have to get out of there.

124
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: I took this as I'd have to deal with it now.

125
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: I found an apartment in a nicer part of town

126
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: that is closer to my job for only two hundred

127
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: dollars more than she charges me a month.

128
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: That's great.

129
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: I am truly grateful for the opportunity to live in

130
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: this home and rent from her, but I'm ready for

131
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: our relationship to be just mother daughter again. This land

132
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: one more tenant relationship does nothing but stress me out

133
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: and make me feel like I'm constantly on eggshells or

134
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: in survival mode because if I don't comply with what

135
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: she wants. This is her home, and she can rip

136
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: the rug out from under me, she said at one point,

137
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: if I was still in his home when she passed,

138
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: she would leave it to me. But honestly, I think

139
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: by peace of mind is more important.

140
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 2: Absolutely, do you want that house?

141
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: Yeah? Do you even want that house?

142
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: It's gross. I don't know how.

143
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: Much more I can take being in this position. I

144
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: just don't know how to tell her I'm leaving without

145
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: her being upset. All my friends are saying to give

146
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: her no notice and simply tell her once I'm gone.

147
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: But I have a big heart, and I worry about

148
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: others feelings and I don't want her feeling blindsided and betrayed.

149
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: But she's she does not care about you.

150
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if you want a relationship with her,

151
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 2: and it seems like it does want a relationship, it

152
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: does she don't.

153
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: I guess in that last part, I don't I.

154
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 2: Want a mother daughter relationship. Now, if you want a

155
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: mother daughter relationship, take the higher road and just tell her, like.

156
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm moving out, but like make sure you have

157
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: that place all in order. Yeah, like that you have

158
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: the such strategy. But we would never blindside or betray

159
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: you if you join us live every WEEKDA have three

160
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: impst on YouTube, TikTok and Facebook. Just at her profile

161
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: and there is a little bit left. But I yeah,

162
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: I think I think maybe I don't know what's like

163
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: the normal normal thirty days in advance or something.

164
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: I think, well, I think roughly like.

165
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: A month in advance. Just say, hey, I have this

166
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: place that I'm going to be moving into. I wanted

167
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: to let you know.

168
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: Actually legally it depends on the contract, but there's no.

169
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: There's no contract.

170
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: So this question just the question of like what would

171
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: feel like courtesy to your yeah parent that you want

172
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: to have a relationship with.

173
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, any advice on how to approach the situation and

174
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: how I should tell her I'm leaving again, no lead

175
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: slash contract. I've been here two years with mail bills

176
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: coming to this house, so technically I don't owe her

177
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: a notice, but I don't want it backfiring if I

178
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: leave and spring it on her. And just so torn,

179
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: any advice is appreciated.

180
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 2: I'm confused why you're torn, Like, is, why is is

181
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: it a mean or a bad thing? Yeah, to move

182
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: to a different location.

183
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,119
Speaker 1: You're literally just moving out you again, signed literally no lease,

184
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: people move if you want to do the easiest thing.

185
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: It's just like thirty days in advance.

186
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what Eleanna is saying. A contract is generally

187
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: month to month with the lease.

188
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think that's that's what you do.

189
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: My roommate came out of the bathroom with my mom.

190
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: She was, you know, she was helping him urinate or something.

191
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: I was gonna say she was helping him with the plumbing. No, like,

192
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: that's that's as excuse.

193
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: He's like pipe. I Mail twenty two am in Atlanta

194
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: from a higher study in medicine. I'm staying in the

195
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: rent with one of my seniors when my mom, female

196
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 2: forty one, came unexpectedly to give me a surprise on

197
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: my birthday. So I am a surprise on your all right.

198
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: I was glad as it was a holiday that day,

199
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 2: so me, mom, and my roommate Mail twenty five went

200
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: around the city and had a great day. However, her

201
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 2: flight back for home got delayed by more than six hours,

202
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: and Mom discusses it with dad over and decided to

203
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 2: stay with us and catch the flight the next day.

204
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: No, no, there's a dad in the picture.

205
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: But but in our room. It was only one single bed,

206
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: and since the trip of mom and her stay was unplanned,

207
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 2: she slept with me. By the way, this comes from

208
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: you okay gap six eighty four on the r okay

209
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 2: storytime subreddit. So quite normal till right here, right, Yeah,

210
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 2: we're chilling. We're chilling, We're good. Wrong, Yes, it was still.

211
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: I woke up at around five in the morning. My

212
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 2: mom had a habit of getting up early in the morning,

213
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: taking bath and doing our housework right in the morning. However,

214
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: being in the hostel, especially on holidays, we friends were

215
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: habitual to getting up late, so I was not surprised

216
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: to find my mom missing from the bed, assuming that

217
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: she may be in the bathroom roaming outside for a change.

218
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: But my roommate was also missing from his bed.

219
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: No, no, make it stop.

220
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: As I was wondering where he might be, Mom came

221
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 2: from the bathroom having only a towel wrapped around her body,

222
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 2: and it was a bit surprised to see me away.

223
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: I was about to ask her if she had seen

224
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: my roommate when he suddenly appeared from behind her from

225
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 2: the bathroom and.

226
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: He said, call me baba.

227
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: He was also in his towel only.

228
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: Why, dude, I'm upset, says Lol.

229
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: Roommate upgrades a step down.

230
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: It seems like also they don't live in the same room.

231
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: The roommate in op right, Okay.

232
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 2: Okay, this is wild. I mean, how do you excuse that?

233
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: How you were like, she took a shower and then

234
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: I came in, but then the water was it working?

235
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: I thought I was helping her?

236
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: Sorry, When I asked her about it, she said that

237
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: the shower was broke and was water was not turning off,

238
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: so he was just trying to help.

239
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: I bet he was.

240
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I bet he was helping a lot. I didn't

241
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 2: talk much about it, but I still can't believe that

242
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 2: it was shower only. She was fixing the shower ahead

243
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 2: and needed to give him head. It's too far. I

244
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 2: hadn't talked much about it, but I still can't believe

245
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: that it was shower only. It was update number one.

246
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 2: Derty says, in a towel. In a towel, Yeah, you

247
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 2: don't want to get me. You don't want to get

248
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 2: all wet helping with the water, so you put on

249
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 2: a towel. Exactly.

250
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: Everyone was in a towel.

251
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: Everyone was fine. Update number one. I confronted my mom

252
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: about her relationship with my roommate. I know that people

253
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 2: are going to judge me wrong after reading this post,

254
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: but I did not understand what I was trying to

255
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: do and what happened. Everyone is asking me to confront

256
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 2: my mom, so I confronted her a few hours ago.

257
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: Here is my mom's confrontation. Are you ready for her?

258
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: Do you think that she's gonna lie or do you

259
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: think that she's gonna come come clean?

260
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: I think she's gonna lie, all right, phew. I looked

261
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: around the house to see where my mom might be

262
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: and was relieved to see that she was lying on

263
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 2: the couch. She looked tired and had a T shirt

264
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: and trousers on. She was awake when I went to her.

265
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 2: What was that? Why are you doing all this crap

266
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: with that guy? Do you think I'm a fool? I

267
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: immediately spoke as I saw her, I am sorry the

268
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 2: dialogue on this. I am sorry. She replied, a hint

269
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: of sadness in her voice. I'm sorry, I'm sorry my son.

270
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 2: I told her that he's like my age, he's my housemate.

271
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: There was a hint of anger sadness in hers and

272
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 2: a hint of anger. And me and Mom then talked

273
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 2: for an hour in that couch. We talked about a

274
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: number of things. She talked about how she was depressed

275
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 2: and spicy sleep, frustrated. I was shocked when she told

276
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 2: me that she and my father barely ever had spicy sleep.

277
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: She told me about how she longed for some romance

278
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: and love in her life. Then she talked about Pete.

279
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: Pete, who she just met like yesterday.

280
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: Pete, it's a new fan love. She talked about how

281
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: sweet and understanding Pete was. I could sense that they

282
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: had both grown really close to each other in the

283
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: last twenty four hours.

284
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: It wasn't longer. Am I mistaken?

285
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: I don't know how long was it? This is so yeah,

286
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 2: why is she.

287
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: Telling him everything? She's like your father and I don't

288
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: sleep together anymore.

289
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me tell you about our sleep history.

290
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: Let me teach who some twenty one, twenty five, twenty five.

291
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: He loves me like a man.

292
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: He kisses the nape.

293
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: Of my neck, sweetly caresses it.

294
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: He teaches me, he treats me like a woman and

295
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 2: a queen. A queen all right. She then surprised me

296
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: by asking me for permission to spend time with him. No,

297
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: she reasoned with me during our conversation, telling me that

298
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 2: she would anyway only be in at Lantern for one

299
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: day and she wanted at least this short time here

300
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 2: to be pleasant. No, bro, no, your mom's just like

301
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: so unapologetically, like, actually, I don't have spicy sleep with

302
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: your dad, and I want to have spicy sleep with

303
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 2: your roommate. May can't you give that to me? I

304
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 2: want my stay here to be pleasant.

305
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: She's like, Oki, my dad cheatth on your father?

306
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: Is that all right with you? Can you sign on

307
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: the dotted line with this pen? Thank you?

308
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: Thank you very much? Yo ya, this is sad. She's like,

309
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: I'll bribe you with money if you don't tell anyone.

310
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: This is wild. Not only are you she's like caught

311
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 2: red handed sitting on your father, but she's like, is

00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: it cool if I cheat on your father? Yeah? Ming

313
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: Ming says. All the hints makes me think the story

314
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: is fake. Eloe, Yeah, I don't know what he was

315
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: trying to do with the hint. It's like she had

316
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: as send this in her voice. I had a hint

317
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: to bango, okay. I was a bit taken aback by

318
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: her bluntness. She promised me that she would never do

319
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: anything like this in India and will be faithful to

320
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 2: my dad in India. You to nervousness. I told her

321
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: then that I didn't care about what she did in

322
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: her personal life and she was free to do whatever

323
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: she liked. I told her that I just wanted her

324
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: to be happy. It was hard for me to talk

325
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 2: directly about Pete with her. I didn't know how to

326
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: approach it. The whole thing was awkward and embarrassing from me.

327
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: You seem like quite quick to just like throw your dad.

328
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder why you don't want to tell your dad.

329
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: Update number two. Later in the day, I got a

330
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: call from Pete. He asked me for lunch. During lunch,

331
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: she confessed that he had developed feeling for my mom

332
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: since her last visit, and they were talking since her

333
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 2: last visit.

334
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:41,479
Speaker 1: So they have this is a there's a plot occasions.

335
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: He started to tell me how he really cared about

336
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: my mom and how he genuinely had feelings for her.

337
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: It's like me and your mom have been talking and.

338
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: Me and your mom have gotten it going on.

339
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: We love each other.

340
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 2: It was hard for me to listen to Pete over lunch.

341
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: I was embarrassed, a bit angry, and a part of

342
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: me felt humiliated, but throughout the conversation I remained calm.

343
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: Since he was behaving in such a mature manner and

344
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: was being so respectful, I thought that the least I

345
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: could do was also be respectful. I also believed Pete.

346
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: He had never lied to me about anything, and we

347
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: had become friends over the past few months. I had

348
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: no reason not to believe him. I did lunch with

349
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 2: him by telling him what I had told my mom before,

350
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: that what she did in her life was none of

351
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: my business. I told him that I was cool with him.

352
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: It kind of is your business.

353
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: Again, Yeah, I mean, like, it's your mom and your roommate, so.

354
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: You have every right to be angry, and then also

355
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: that your mom is just openly cheating on your father.

356
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: After that lunch, everything changed. Pete and Mom now just

357
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 2: didn't care whether I watched them or what I thought

358
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: about their relationship. They didn't try to hide that they

359
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 2: were really into each other. They would hold hands and

360
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 2: now it seemed that they were in love. But she

361
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: never gave me the impression that Pete and her were

362
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: having spicy sleep, but it was obvious that they were

363
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: pissing and at least feeling each other up. When I

364
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: was not around, I could see the uncontrollable lust in

365
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 2: Pete's eyes. He get it Mom. Even though there was

366
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: significant age gap between them, I could tell he found

367
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 2: her very attractive. Mom, too, seemed to be really into Pete.

368
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 2: I could never have thought that one day I would

369
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: see my own mom with another man, and that too

370
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: a white man like Pete. I could never have imagined

371
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: my Indian mother with a white lover. It was all

372
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 2: just so tab What.

373
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: What a segue?

374
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: If you want to hear about more taboos consistently every

375
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: single day, you could join us YouTube live here on YouTube, here,

376
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: on Facebook, on Twitch, on TikTok every week day at

377
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: three pm. Just have our probes tab it. My mom

378
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: still kept in touch with my father on the phone.

379
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: Once I saw her talk to him on the phone

380
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: and Pete was right there sitting next to her listening

381
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: to their conversation in the living room. Of course, no

382
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 2: one in India, including my father, had any idea about

383
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 2: what was going on here in Atlanta between Pete and

384
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 2: my mom.

385
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: But are you just gonna like, I don't know, I'm confused.

386
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: Are you just gonna let that keep going? Like you're

387
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: not gonna be like mom, you need to tell dad

388
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: or I will nothing.

389
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: And the fact that you're like, they're just like going

390
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 2: at it, They're just like touching each other, fingling each

391
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 2: other up in front of you and just have no

392
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 2: regard that this is such a wild situation for you,

393
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 2: and you're just like, you.

394
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 3: Know, I'm not it.

395
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: I'ment with ming ming. This sounds like smutplot. I don't

396
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 2: know if this is real.

397
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: It's pretty much says go after Pete's mom.

398
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: Honestly, and eye for an eye in this situation, and

399
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: eye for an eye it works. Yeah, Yeah, this is crazy. Man,

400
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 2: Oh man, I don't do you guys believe this is true.

401
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: Dad's room reeks so bad it's probably a health hazard.

402
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: How do we convince him to clean up? Hey, all,

403
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: my sixty one male dad sleeps in his own room downstairs.

404
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: Ever since my mom, sixty three female, caught him cheating.

405
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: That's another story.

406
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 2: I want to read that story.

407
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the state of his room has declined in

408
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: the almost twenty years since that event. Oh twenty years.

409
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: You're still living with your mom for twenty years.

410
00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, like maybe it was like a like a generation

411
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 2: like we don't divorce type situation, but we're just gonna

412
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 2: co inhabit date. That's great, goabdate.

413
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: The exposition to my problem is rather long, but a

414
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: fun read, so if you'd like to skip, just search

415
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: for the next paragraph. He always neglected personal hygiene, but

416
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: it wasn't always as rancid as it's come to be.

417
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: By the way, this comes from JCJC on the Okay

418
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: storytime separed it. So it was two thousand and eight

419
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: when he was exiled to the room, and I remember

420
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: him bringing the family couch in there to use for sleeping.

421
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: I suppose we figured he would get a mattress eventually

422
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: to replace the couch. But that same couch is still

423
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: in there today twenty twenty four.

424
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 2: Okay, it's not twenty years later.

425
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 1: That couch was probably bought in two thousand, twenty four

426
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: years later. What twenty twenty four.

427
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: Oh, couch was probably bought in two thousand and eight

428
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: when he moved into It was two.

429
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: Thousand and eight when he exiled to that room. But

430
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: they're saying the couch has been there.

431
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, got it.

432
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: It's older than a lot of my friends, and he's

433
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: sleeping on it. It's never been washed since he brought

434
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: it into the cave, not once. Granted, he he isn't

435
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: sleeping directly on the couch raw. He's got some sheets,

436
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: but they aren't fitted couch sheets. They're bed sheets.

437
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: He's like, they're not raw, dog in it.

438
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not just touching the couch. I just know

439
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: those sheets are slipping off the couch regularly, and the

440
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: couch being is unearthed, getting a fresh new layer of

441
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: oil and grime from the day's activities. I'm actually baffled

442
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: that his back still works, since that couch isn't really

443
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: that comfy. I wonder if he's forgotten the pleasure of

444
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: how a bed feels to lie on.

445
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 2: You don't remember.

446
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: It's like I've forgotten the soft caress of my bed. Anyway,

447
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: he told me today he washes his sheets about every eight.

448
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: Weeks two months.

449
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: No, that's nasty. However, knowing him, he's definitely shaving a

450
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: few weeks off that estimate, so it doesn't sound as bad.

451
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: Last time I looked at his pillow, it add reddish

452
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: brown stains blood and carried a yellow hue oil. He

453
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: has eggzma and can be prone to little sores bleeding,

454
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: I suppose, but I think sleeping on something NERGYL would

455
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: enjoy isn't a great situation when you have skin issues. Also,

456
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 1: it doesn't help that when he gets home he fries

457
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: food in a bunch of butter with garlic and onion

458
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: and brings that into his room ew and lets it rot.

459
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: A Why what does that mean? What do you mean

460
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: you're letting it rot?

461
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 3: I don't like that.

462
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: Like, of course, the two most pungent ingredients are his favorite,

463
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: and I love garlic and onion myself, But man, just

464
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: bring the dishes up after you're done, for goodness sake.

465
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 2: But his guy's living like the bachelor life.

466
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: I think he only sometimes showers in the morning. Really

467
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: adds to the ambiance of it all. I know a

468
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: lot of people shower in the morning, but I think

469
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: that doesn't work well for him when he comes home

470
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: from work all sweaty. My mom showers in the morning

471
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: as well, but her room is not accessible and she's

472
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: overall much more hygienic. I am a morning shower.

473
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: I'm you do two? I do two showers, one or

474
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 2: the first one in the morning, I clean with soap,

475
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 2: and at night I just wet my body because it

476
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 2: helps me go to sleep.

477
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: I do morning shower unless I've done some sort of

478
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: physical activity, like after I go climbing, I'll just do

479
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: a little soap soap because I got a lot chocolm. Anyway,

480
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: moving on from the couch, the rest of the room

481
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: is declining as well. The floor as this dark green

482
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: carpet that gets vacuum maybe twice a year, usually by

483
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: my mom. By the way, Oh funny story, I saw

484
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: brown patties.

485
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 3: On the floor there.

486
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: It was docky that was stepped on so many times

487
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: due to it existing there for so long. My dog

488
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: is potty trained, so I'm not sure why he pooped

489
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: in there. Perhaps the stench suggested he was allowed to

490
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: do his business from there, And to be fair, my

491
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: dad will pee in cups, seeing as it's just too

492
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: increate to stand up and walk about fifteen feet to

493
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: the bathroom down stairs. Why is he still living there

494
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: if he's not even like it doesn't seem like him

495
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: and the mom are still married.

496
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 2: Could you imagine the smell? Dude, Oh, hiss and cups?

497
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: I don't blame my dog for mistaking the room for

498
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: a bathroom. Honestly, I do worry about mold hiding in

499
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: that room, though. Yeah, I think you have to get

500
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: your dad to therapy. Yeah, what's going very quickly. It's

501
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: like the fact that this has been going on for twenty.

502
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 2: Years essential sign of depression if they're living in Yes,

503
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 2: absolutely and urine.

504
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: My dad is a side gig working on people's fish tanks,

505
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: and naturally he set up one in his room. It

506
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: was a cute saltwater tank with some live coral and clownfish.

507
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: Over time, algae obstructed the view until the glass was

508
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: completely dark green. I hope they didn't suffer long. No

509
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: pet deserves to be neglected immediately after being acquired, but

510
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: I can't imagine his neglect would extend further if this

511
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: tank had any sort of lenk. He absolutely would ignore

512
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: a leak if he managed to even notice. First of all,

513
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: to avoid doing any labor at home when he gets

514
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: time to relax. The real kicker to this is when

515
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: my brother's girlfriend gave us her old but still totally

516
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: nice mattress for my dad to replace the couch with,

517
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: and it's been rotting in the garage for at least

518
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: two months now, not even shielded with a plastic cover.

519
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: At first, his excuse was that his room was too

520
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: full of randomly stored items of everyone, so it became

521
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: my mom and I's responsibility to move that stuff out

522
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: so that it was room for a bed. His excuse

523
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: today was that he didn't have any time. I get it,

524
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: time is not abundant, but my dude, you sit in

525
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: your room for at least three or four hours a day,

526
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: watching TV, on your phone or napping like truly, I

527
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: think the solution like you need to somehow get him

528
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: some help.

529
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 2: This is not this is a mental health crisis. I agree. Yeah,

530
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: this is not an issue of cleanliness, is not an

531
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 2: issue like hygiene. This is like something something something wrong. Yeah,

532
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 2: something's going wrong. Yes, And I can't imagine that your

533
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: dad shows up to his room like this and doesn't

534
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 2: show up to the rest of his life and the

535
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: rest of his relationships, including you, with the same amount

536
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 2: of whatever is happening there.

537
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: I think there is a level of dirtiness that you know,

538
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: sometimes people are dirty, sometimes you have different standard of cleansliness.

539
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: But at this point it's gotten to this is.

540
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, if there's poop on the floor, this is urine

541
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: in cups, if there's food rotting, something's going on. I

542
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: want to hear more context on, like what your guys related,

543
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: because I can't imagine him having any positive relationships in

544
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 2: his life if his room is like this. And I'm

545
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 2: not saying that is an insult. I'm saying no, it's

546
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: just like getting possible to have that for him.

547
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mom, and I took a lot of stuff out

548
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: of your room as well to help you, but I'm

549
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: not touching that couch.

550
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 2: Sorry.

551
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: If we took that cotch outside and burned it, I

552
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: think the oil would make it burn for eight magical days.

553
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: But he's not bothered by any of us, at least

554
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: not to my knowledge. He's seemingly not embarrassed either, but

555
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: I sure am when I bring home friends. One friend

556
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: even took a picture of the vacant room like it

557
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: was some not geo haabitat.

558
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: It's like, wow, does they walk by?

559
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: It's kind of rude. But the level of stank it

560
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: had rose into since yesterday is but prompted me to

561
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: write this. It's so sour and pungent. I can smell

562
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: it clearly at the top of the stairs and even

563
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: faintly in the kitchen when he came home, as odor

564
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: filled most of the upstairs up quickly, and with my

565
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: room across from his downstairs, my little sanctuary is being

566
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: a sort from the old essence of my father. He

567
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: told me the catletter is to blame. No, it's not

568
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: the cat LITTERI honestly, did you think about the catletterer?

569
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: Did you take out the gallery?

570
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: It seems like it could be the.

571
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: It's absolutely a human derived stench. So tell me Reddit

572
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: if there is something we can do. I'm not aware

573
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: of any mental illness he suffers from. Perhaps there is

574
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: one that he'll never go to the doctor's for a

575
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: diagnosis or go on medicine to treat it. We have

576
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: helped him clean his room to an extent, but that

577
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: should not be our responsibility for a grown man who

578
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: has previously held a janitorial position cleaning bathrooms for others,

579
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: but comes home and neglects his own. By the way,

580
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: we would never neglect you if you join us live

581
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: every week toad three pmpst on YouTube, Facebook and TikTok.

582
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: Just tap her profile. But there is a little bit left.

583
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: I forgot to mention there's no windows in his room

584
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: to vent out the smell. Also, I know I made

585
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: jokes about the smell in the state of his room,

586
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: but I truly am worried and care about his well being.

587
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: Otherwise I wouldn't be here seeking help. All people deserve

588
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: a clean place to sleep. He has no Sanctuary's auburn man.

589
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he cares much what my mom and

590
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 1: I have to say. How can we break through and

591
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: convince him to clean regularly? Is this just his personality

592
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: or could there be an underlying cause? I think there

593
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: absolutely is an underlying cause. Oops.

594
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: Sorry, I don't think it's a personality trait to just

595
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 2: neglect yourself. I think that you know that stems from

596
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're treating your room like that, I

597
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 2: can't imagine how you treat yourself internally.

598
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just bought new expensive furniture and started a

599
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 3: war with a Karen.

600
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes you got a battle to.

601
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 3: Get what you want, Ain't that right?

602
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 2: Sist?

603
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 3: Buckle up, it's a long one. So three and a

604
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 3: half years ago, my husband and I bought furniture from

605
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 3: a national chain we'll call Robert's Discount Furniture. We spent

606
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 3: well over four grand for two seats of couches, two chairs,

607
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 3: one automan, and one love seat. We also got their

608
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: oof pe Oof warranty valid for five years after every purchase.

609
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 3: Every time we have called, it's a big hassle to

610
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 3: get any type of service. First, they delivered the wrong

611
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 3: piece for upstairs set. We ordered a sleeper sofa with

612
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 3: a chase lounge that matches the chair and attoman. Instead

613
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 3: of the sleeper sofa, we received a connecting part for

614
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 3: a sectional. I called their customer service no service line

615
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 3: to request and exchange for the right part. Now, at

616
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 3: that point, I had worked in call center customer service

617
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 3: for over twenty six years at a different company. They

618
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 3: know how it goes.

619
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: OBI is like, I know how it's supposed to go,

620
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: and that's not what I'm getting.

621
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 3: It's not working.

622
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: When I keep pressing zero, they'd already have their chase lounge.

623
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 3: Trust me, I know good customer service and I know

624
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: how to speak the lingo. This was not good, by

625
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 3: the way. This comes from Lee roxy Mommy on the

626
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 3: r slash ok storytime subreddit. So I spoke to an

627
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 3: associate with an unusual ethnic name. Don't remember the exact name,

628
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 3: but let's call him Alvira. One, he threw my sales

629
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 3: Assosia under the bus, saying she ordered the wrong part.

630
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: I assured him she did not. I was looking at

631
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 3: the invoice that described the correct part. Two. He said

632
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 3: he did not have the right part in stock, so

633
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 3: he was just going to send me a credit so

634
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 3: I could order a different item. I told him I

635
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 3: didn't want a different item. I wanted the part I

636
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 3: ordered that match the rest of the furniture I had.

637
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,719
Speaker 3: We went around and around that same circle for twenty

638
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 3: minutes until I had enough and hung up on him.

639
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 3: I made the trip back to the store. Our original

640
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 3: salesperson called. Ironically, she spoke to the same ethnic name, Elvirez.

641
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 3: He tried to give her the same spiel. Though she

642
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 3: sounded professional about it, her expressions told me she thought

643
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 3: he was as much as an idiot as I did.

644
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 3: She did finally convince him to send the right part,

645
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 3: and three months later we had the complete set.

646
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: There you go.

647
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: He took some battling, but eventually you got it easy.

648
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 3: Over the three and a half years, we had the

649
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 3: recliner break on the downstairs couch and need to be

650
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 3: replaced twice, and the back of the jar fell off

651
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 3: and needed to be replaced. Always it was a hassle,

652
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: and always we had to fight to get the warranty honored.

653
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 3: Most recently, four months ago, the back fell off my

654
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 3: husband's side of the couch. He called for a warranty

655
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 3: service and they asked for photos to be sent reasonably enough,

656
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 3: my company requires that too. He took several photos from

657
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 3: different angles and sent them to the email address they supplied.

658
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 3: Weeks go by, no response.

659
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: It's probably Alvirs.

660
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: Again.

661
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 3: After several more weeks go by, I called to follow up.

662
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 3: They said they were still waiting for photos. My husband

663
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 3: sent them a third time and c seed me on

664
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 3: the same email. I received the email just fine, So

665
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 3: I sent the photos as well. More weeks go by,

666
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 3: still no response. Can you sue?

667
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can sue? But what specifically

668
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: are they waiting.

669
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 3: For the back of their couch fell off?

670
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 2: Oh?

671
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: Okay, so they're waiting for a replacement on that because

672
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: they have a fire warranty. I don't know if you

673
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. That is incredibly annoying, But I don't

674
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: know if you like, maybe.

675
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 3: Maybe just to cover all my bases. I took a

676
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 3: NOO set of photos with my laptop and sent them

677
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 3: from that device directly to the warranty company to be fair.

678
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 3: Shortly after we went on vacation for a week, we

679
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 3: came back, I visited the store at location again, spoke

680
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 3: with the same sales associate and she got her manager involved.

681
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 3: They emailed me my photos to their warranty liaison and

682
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 3: at least got the warranty people to call us back

683
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 3: and schedule a technician to come out. That person took

684
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 3: one look at the couch and said it could not

685
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:36,959
Speaker 3: be fixed.

686
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 2: What it took months for you? Just say, I'm sorry, kid,

687
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 2: Do it fixed?

688
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: That?

689
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 2: H too bad? That looks like a you problem.

690
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 3: He called the warranty hotline, gave his employee number and

691
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 3: said he could not fix it, then gave the phone

692
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 3: to my husband to arrange a replacement to be sent out,

693
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 3: and he left. That was a bad move. Hubby has

694
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 3: no patient for fools. The warranty is so she had

695
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 3: tried to say it was a mechanical defect and that

696
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 3: coverage expired after one year. So basically we were screwed.

697
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: But we freaking know it's a five year warranty.

698
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, Op knows how this goes. She can't lie

699
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 3: to us, can't this is the this is you literally

700
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 3: cannot lit.

701
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: She's literally a customer service expert aficionado.

702
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 3: Yes, my husband started cursing at him, so I took

703
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 3: over at this point in three weeks. I have done

704
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 3: customer service for that same other company for thirty years.

705
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 3: Let me tell you, when you cuss at a customer service,

706
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 3: they stopped listening to you. I was respectful but firm

707
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 3: that they were going to honor their oof p oof warranty.

708
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 3: It was either going to be fixed or replaced, and

709
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 3: their own technician already said it could not be fixed.

710
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 3: After ten minutes of going around and around with him,

711
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 3: I said those immortal Karen words. I need to speak

712
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 3: to your manager, and there it is. Op was the

713
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 3: Karen all along.

714
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 2: We didn't realize you were the hulk.

715
00:32:58,360 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 3: She was the whole concerning You had.

716
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: The Karen and SiGe you every step of the way.

717
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 3: He put me on hold for seven minutes, came back

718
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 3: and said he was still waiting for a manager. After

719
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 3: being hold for another five minutes, he came back and

720
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 3: said his manager approved replacing the couch. It is scheduled

721
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 3: to be exchanged this Saturday. I'll believe it when I

722
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 3: see it. Yeah. One year later, you'll get the couch

723
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 3: and it'll be like, oh, actually, your warrants he expired today.

724
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 3: We can't give you the couch.

725
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, you're gonna have to pay for that couch.

726
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: I remember the actually sending another like Chase.

727
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

728
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: He's like, ah, this is not what I wanted.

729
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 2: Please just send me.

730
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 3: The couch, please, I just want the couch.

731
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 2: Come on, that's it.

732
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 3: Edit not in any way at all. I only said

733
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 3: it was an ethnic name to explain why I remember

734
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 3: it so well when the sales associate was speaking to

735
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 3: the same customer, no service associate days later. In fact,

736
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 3: to those who only picked up on that part of

737
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 3: the story, I would ask you to examine your own opinions.

738
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm not You are rest at it too.

739
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 3: Y'all got some funny ideas about what it means to be.

740
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 3: Perhaps you need to look up the definition of that term. Here,

741
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 3: I will do it for you. A person who is

742
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 3: prejudiced against people on the basis of their membership in

743
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 3: a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is

744
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 3: a majority or marginalized. Never in the story or in

745
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 3: real life did I despair or have any presidents against

746
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 3: him due to his right.

747
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 2: I love that.

748
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: Plot A to the story is like I'm trying to

749
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: get a couch, and plot B's like, I'm not, guys, please.

750
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 3: Attitude is just her saying that she's not relevant. All right?

751
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: Cool?

752
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 3: So she's not right, guys, she's not.

753
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: We've read it in the comments.

754
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 3: She gave us a definition.

755
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 2: She can she can't be.

756
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 3: All right, we have an update. Is she gonna get

757
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 3: the couch?

758
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: I don't think so?

759
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 2: You think I don't. I don't.

760
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,919
Speaker 1: I don't think she's gonna get this couch. I think

761
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: she's tried so hard that like the universe can't give

762
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: it to her.

763
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 3: Now understandable, you know. Yeah? Also, why still deal with

764
00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 3: this company?

765
00:34:59,080 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: Can?

766
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 3: Well? What can you do against a big company that

767
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 3: promised you all these things that you put four g's into?

768
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: Mm hmmmmmmm.

769
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 3: Updated Saturday came and Saturday went. No replacement couch, not,

770
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 3: of course not. My husband did show me a text

771
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 3: that came late on Friday saying they had a glitch

772
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 3: in their system and would not be able to make

773
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 3: the appointment. It was going on five months now to

774
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 3: get this latest issue resolved. Patience is really running thin.

775
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 3: Do you even have patience at this point?

776
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't believe that you have anymore, which is

777
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 1: like fair, You're just like waiting, no patience, You're just waiting.

778
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

779
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 3: They did finally bring a replacement, but no surprise to anyone,

780
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 3: they brought the less expensive love seat for the set,

781
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 3: not the couch. I specifically stated it was the couch

782
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 3: that broke and corrected the customer no service rep when

783
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 3: he repeated back the work order. It still came wrong.

784
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 3: And we will never come wrong. If you join us

785
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 3: live every weekday at three PMPSD, just taper profile tabs.

786
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: I think I would give up, which is probably what

787
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: they want, just to get no.

788
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 3: But then they'd win.

789
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they win, And that's why OP can't

790
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: give up. Yeah, but Op has a lot more stamina

791
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 1: than me, because I think after I'm trying to return

792
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff right now, Like I just have

793
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: a lot of returns to make, really, and it's been months.

794
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: It's been months. Like I bought something for my Halloween

795
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: costume that I never used. I bought something from Target

796
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: that I never used.

797
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 3: I return stuff and it's just so much work. I

798
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 3: think that's how you get you know that. It was

799
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 3: like Amazon's like you can try and return it.

800
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 2: Okay, actually fun thing.

801
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: So I had to return something on Amazon and I did, like,

802
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: like I finally literally it's been a month. Finally did

803
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: like the return thing, and it was like, you don't

804
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: actually have to return this, We'll just refund you.

805
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 2: That happened too with something amazing.

806
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 3: That's crazy.

807
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: I don't need the thing. It's a bucket.

808
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 3: Apparently they don't need it either.

809
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 2: Yeah.

810
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 3: With the something else here too. Yeah, We're always trying

811
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 3: to return stuff guys, so we can get out of it.

812
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. Sometimes sometimes you're good money.

813
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 3: Fortunately, the parts are irrechangeable, so my husband had them

814
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 3: take the backs off the new love seat and installed

815
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 3: on the broken couch. We are back in business. But

816
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 3: should not have taken almost six months to resolve this

817
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 3: issue and repeated contacts to get them to honor their warranty.

818
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 2: It should have.

819
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: But ain't that the way the world works?

820
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 2: Yep?

821
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 3: Ain't that how the world spins around the.

822
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,959
Speaker 1: Sun and keeps on turning and your couch never comes Try?

823
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 3: Well, I'll see that story, so we'll see.

824
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 2: You next time.

825
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: My local Chinese restaurant wanted to close, our town refused

826
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: to let them.

827
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 3: We need our wantunt, we need our orange chicken.

828
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. This is entitled people on the large Scale, and

829
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: it's two hilarious not to share. I live in a

830
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: small town population seven thousand roughly, and everyone is currently

831
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: divided over a Chinese restaurant. So my hometown, it's been

832
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: in the local news and Australia's national news. That's how

833
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 1: crazy people are getting.

834
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 2: Oh boy.

835
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: By the way, this comes from game NERD ninety three

836
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: on the ok Storytime Separateday, so I'm going to try

837
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: to keep the short back. In May of this year,

838
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: a local Chinese restaurant owner informed the local club he

839
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: was renting kitchen space from that he wanted to retire,

840
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: gave them his resignation, stating his last operating day would

841
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: be the end of June. Q The local Karens and

842
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: Kevin's in mass One local who will call Big Kevin,

843
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: another local will call Mega Karen, and they decided they

844
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: were going to protest against the closing and force the

845
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: club to keep the restaurant open.

846
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 3: I wonder what these people look like I don't.

847
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: Know, but I do think it's really funny as that

848
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,720
Speaker 1: owner to be like so good yeah that everyone.

849
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 3: I was like, no, can't do this to us.

850
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: This poor man has been running the restaurant for thirty

851
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: years without break. I just wanted to retire peacefully. But no,

852
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: Mega Karen started a petition, while Big Karen organized a protest.

853
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: Now our third major player in this year, we shall

854
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: call the Wicked Witch. The Wicked Witch working in the

855
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 1: Shadows starts leaking to the local paper that said restaurant

856
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: owner is being forced out by the club, false allegation.

857
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 1: The club gives their first an only statement about the situation,

858
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: stating that the restaurant owner retired and even produced his

859
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: retirement paperwork for proof. At this point, the National News

860
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: comes into it and does an interview with restaurant owner,

861
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 1: who states on the news he wants to retire.

862
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 2: Let the guy retire.

863
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: Guys, I'm coming here on the news to say I

864
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:26,439
Speaker 1: just want to rest please. You would think that would

865
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,919
Speaker 1: be the end of it, but no, Mega Karen gets

866
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: twelve hundred or so signatures on her petition, which he

867
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: adds to the club. The club's lawyer calls it invalid

868
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: due to over nine hundred of the signatures not being

869
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: filled in properly signature plus printed name plus club membership

870
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: number or phone number needed by each person to make

871
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: it valid, or same person sign multiple petition slots. So

872
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: Mega Karen starts a new petition which only gets seventy

873
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: four signature.

874
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 3: I see. Oh, so they probably just like pulled names

875
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 3: from Yeah.

876
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: They would just make it fake and thing. Meanwhile, Big

877
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: Kevin organizes a protest he doesn't show up for, nor

878
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: does anyone else. The club then hosts a meeting for

879
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: all club members, members of the general public, and the

880
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 1: club's board to discuss what is going on, but again

881
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,280
Speaker 1: for all the complaints, no one shows up. Now Mega

882
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: Karen and Big Kevin are demanding that a new meeting

883
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: be held, the club's general manager be fired, and the

884
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: club's board be disbanded and a new board elected. These

885
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: people are very they love their Chinese food.

886
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 3: A lot, and with this all happening, I think the

887
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 3: Wicked Witch has like something she can win out of

888
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 3: this plotting.

889
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. The Wicked Witch then once again goes to the

890
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 1: newspaper with the statement from the restaurant owner. The restaurant

891
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: has now been closed for over a month, and states

892
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: that now the club has renovated the restaurant and as

893
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 1: plans to start a new restaurant, they the old restaurant

894
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: would considered renting the space again. Before you question why

895
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: the space wasn't renovated before this point, it was part

896
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: of the Chinese restaurant's agreement that they would maintain and

897
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: renovate the space as they saw fit, as stated by

898
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: the club in their public statement, and she tells the

899
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: paper that the whole reason the Chinese restaurant left wasn't

900
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: because they wanted to retire, but because the rent increased

901
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: from the two hundred and eighty five dollars a week

902
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: they have paid for twenty eight years to three hundred

903
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 1: and eighty five dollars a week last year and then

904
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 1: four hundred and eighty five dollars a week this year

905
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: for restaurant space, when other local restaurants are paying twenty

906
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars a week plus for the same or

907
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: smaller places. So Big, Kevin Megacaren and a ton of

908
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: other locals were all shocked at the cost of rent,

909
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: which they are now all saying should have been kept

910
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: at the two hundred and eighty five dollars to encourage

911
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: the restaurant to stay, even though it meant likely closing

912
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: the club since they were struggling to afford running costs.

913
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: So basically, now they find out that the club. It

914
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: was an increasing rent for the Chinese restaurant, but it

915
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,280
Speaker 1: seems like it was considerably less than any other club

916
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: was doing, Like other clubs were doing twenty five hundred,

917
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: where whereas this club was like four hundred.

918
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, got it, got it, got it, got it.

919
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,439
Speaker 1: The club even broke down their running costs to show

920
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 1: the members and locals how expensive it is to keep

921
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: the place open. But still not good enough. I can't

922
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: with this town anymore.

923
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 3: Oh boy.

924
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: And there are some relevant comments.

925
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 3: Do you come out of retirement and say I will

926
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 3: work Tuesdays and Thursdays for you people, you guys, and

927
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 3: increase them out the prices? Oh yeah yeah.

928
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 1: If you guys will pay me double the amount, I'll

929
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: come back. You.

930
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: You you take what you know, like you kind of

932
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: work off of this fervor for your food and you

933
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: take advantage of it.

00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah yeah, And the biggest supporters. You can do

935
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 3: a subscription that pays for the or thing, and then

936
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 3: you don't even have to worry about monthly thing. You

937
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 3: just worry about keeping everything else up. You know what

00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 3: you do, you get you get a karate junior.

939
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: Oh well, I was gonna say, you uh.

940
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 3: Padawan a su chef.

941
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you become a mentor and train someone into

942
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: becoming the new Chinese restaurant. That's not what I was say,

943
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: but I was like, my idea was you become a

944
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,479
Speaker 1: personal chef m just one day a week. You send

945
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: them over like for double the amount that they would

946
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 1: have had Toby at the restaurant. You send them over

947
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: some food.

948
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 3: There we go. If you're free to it, if you're if.

949
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: You're if you have free town, or you train someone

950
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: relevant comments Sasame snapped me in half, says, so many

951
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: people craving for a succulent Chinese meal, it seems. Opie

952
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,240
Speaker 1: says there is a second Chinese restaurant in town, which

953
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: makes this even funnier.

954
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 3: Probably not as good, though that is good.

955
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: Opie shares a link to the news report of the situation,

956
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: The National News story Opie describing what the club is

957
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: to non Aussies. A club is basically a fancy establishment

958
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: which usually has a huge large rooms for events like funerals,

959
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: birthday parties, et cetera, a few bars for buying drinks,

960
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: gambling area, and a restaurant. It's basically where you go

961
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: for a formal night out. It's a huge thing.

962
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, idea, what we're talking about.

963
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,879
Speaker 2: Oh okay, it's ilub like.

964
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 1: All of my club. It's just like a yeah, it's

965
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: kind of what they explained. But there's like you can

966
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: go get food and sometimes. Yeah, it's just a kind

967
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: of a community place. But both my grandparents were part

968
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: of a club. Wow, Slash one is still part of

969
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: the club. The club couldn't do anything to keep him

970
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 1: from leaving. And there is another update. So our Big Kevin,

971
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: if you remember from the original post, had organized a protest.

972
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 1: He didn't show up to. Well, ladies, gentlemen, and them's.

973
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 1: He has now organized a meeting for October thirty first

974
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: for all paying members of the club. Taken directly from

975
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: the posters around town and his Facebook post. This meeting

976
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,399
Speaker 1: is to discuss the removal of the president and board

977
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,720
Speaker 1: of directors and elect an interim board to move forward

978
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: with plans to reinstate Danny's kitchen to catering.

979
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 3: Mmm, I think the Wicked Witch is going to be

980
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 3: reinstated as something.

981
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,879
Speaker 1: I think she's Yeah, she's gonna get back in there.

982
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: I can't with these people. Honestly, when this meeting takes place,

983
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: the new restaurant will be open in the club, all

984
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 1: cards on the table. I do have a job in

985
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: the new kitchen, so I'll be the first to admit

986
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: I could be looking at this with bias. However, the

987
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: owner of Danny's did retire, and I don't think a

988
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: vote overturns retirement. If they got enough votes, then I

989
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: suppose an offer could be made him, but he can't

990
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,399
Speaker 1: be forced back. Yeah, and we would never force you

991
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 1: to join us live every weekday at three PMPSD on YouTube,

992
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 1: but we would love you too.

993
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 2: Just top our profile and if you don't, we might

994
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 2: as well force you, and.

995
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: Then we'll force you. I also found out that the

996
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: owner tried to train multiple people to take over, but

997
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: every time the same people complaining now putting complaints to

998
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: the club about the quality of the food. Oh my god,

999
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: the guy's like I tried, I tried to find someone else.

1000
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:37,439
Speaker 1: You guys hated them all, So I'm just no way

1001
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: to please these people. Honestly, the club's general manager is

1002
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: hoping that once the new restaurant opens, people will enjoy

1003
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: the food and move on from Danny's. But for now,

1004
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: I will update you again either on the night of

1005
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: the thirty first or on the first of November, of

1006
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: what happens with this meeting, and that is the end

1007
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: of that story.

1008
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 3: If Karen stopped paying my parents' rent, so we victored her, you.

1009
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,959
Speaker 2: Don't pay, you know. Stay backstory.

1010
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 3: My parents used to own a house on big land.

1011
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 3: When my older siblings went away for college, the house

1012
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 3: felt too big for our needs, so my parents decided

1013
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 3: to sell the house, but not all the land. They

1014
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 3: built a smaller house on the part of the land

1015
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 3: they didn't sell. A few years after, we moved to

1016
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 3: a city two hours away and kept the house as

1017
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,760
Speaker 3: a place go to during the summer. My parents decided

1018
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 3: to rent the house as it was well located and

1019
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 3: had a really nice view. Renting meant that they could

1020
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,839
Speaker 3: use the money towards the mortgage and Texas. By the way,

1021
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 3: this comes from Alana on the r slash Okay storytime subreddit.

1022
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 3: So enters our Karen.

1023
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: And she always comes.

1024
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 3: Karen and her boyfriend rented the place so she could

1025
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,959
Speaker 3: be closer to her work. From the start, my dad

1026
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 3: made it clear the place was for rent and my

1027
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 3: parents planned on living in that house after retiring. At

1028
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 3: that time, both of them planned to work for at

1029
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 3: least another twenty plus years, So you got that twenty years.

1030
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 3: That's a lifetime.

1031
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1032
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 3: They would of course notify Karen and events when they

1033
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 3: wanted to take the house back, so she would have

1034
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 3: plenty of time to find a new place. In return,

1035
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 3: they asked that she notified them in advance should she

1036
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,439
Speaker 3: wish to move out, so they could find a new renter.

1037
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 3: The least also stated that my parents would have some

1038
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 3: of their things in a locked storage in the basement

1039
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 3: as well as in a shed on the property, and

1040
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 3: that they would always call Karen before dropping by to

1041
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 3: get some things out of storage, which was in the

1042
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 3: basement and connected to by the garage, so they wouldn't

1043
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 3: even diserb Karen. So they would notify them in advancement. Yeah,

1044
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 3: let them not. For a few years, Karen was an

1045
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,839
Speaker 3: okay renter. She paid the rent through a check each month.

1046
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 3: She smoked inside and did not take care of the land,

1047
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 3: but my dad didn't make a fuss about it. Real

1048
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 3: trouble started around twelve years. Every few months, Karen checks

1049
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 3: would bounce.

1050
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: Back honestly, really quick. For trouble to start after twelve

1051
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: years with one renter.

1052
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 2: That's pretty good.

1053
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty good.

1054
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 2: Like she was chilled for twelve years. I've never a

1055
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:01,280
Speaker 2: lease that long.

1056
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I don't even know if that they probably was,

1057
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: like yeah, they were unit renewed every year.

1058
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 3: But like for I don't know, I'm pretty good deal,

1059
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 3: Pretty good to bounce back here.

1060
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:09,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1061
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the smoking inside and not take care of the.

1062
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 2: Land, no, not great.

1063
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: But also I mean do we necessarily take care like

1064
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's necessary to smoking some no, no, no,

1065
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: but like the land, like that's not our job.

1066
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah yeah yeah, agreed.

1067
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I feel like usually land stuff, especially if

1068
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: it's like a big like a lot of land, that

1069
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: would be up to the landlord to take care of.

1070
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 3: True.

1071
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: True.

1072
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 3: My dad would call her to ask about it. Karen

1073
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 3: would profusely apologize and rectify the situation. Then it became

1074
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 3: every other month until it was every month. Finally my

1075
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 3: dad had enough and called her about the lease and

1076
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 3: the rent. During the call, Karen argued that since she

1077
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 3: had been paying rent for the past twelve years, their

1078
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 3: house was now hers.

1079
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: I don't think that's how that works.

1080
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 3: Of course, that's how it works.

1081
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 2: You're right.

1082
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 3: My dad was shocked since that came out of nowhere.

1083
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 3: We tried to explain to her that she was renting

1084
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 3: the place like the hair had agreed on since the beginning.

1085
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 3: Karen went on an itch fit about how she had

1086
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 3: paid so much over the years and she was the

1087
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 3: only one living there and taking care of the place,

1088
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 3: which she was not at all, Therefore it should be hers.

1089
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 3: She threatened to take my dad to court. Bring it.

1090
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 2: Bring it.

1091
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: They probably got a lot of money if they have

1092
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: two houses.

1093
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 3: Two houses running one out. Dude, all the money that

1094
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 3: got from your rent, they're just going to put towards

1095
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 3: a lawyer. Yeah, that was all extra money for this situation.

1096
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,240
Speaker 3: Now where I live, there are many laws which protects

1097
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 3: the renter, and it can be a real itch to

1098
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 3: deal with when you have a nasty renter. My dad

1099
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 3: hired a lawyer to make sure everything was in order.

1100
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 3: After a meeting with Karen where the lawyer was present,

1101
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 3: she realized she didn't have much of a case, since

1102
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 3: all the PaperWorks concerning the house was in my dad's

1103
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 3: name and the original lease clearly stated that it was

1104
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,720
Speaker 3: a rental. My dad offered her to stop renting should

1105
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 3: she wish to after the whole debacle, but she wanted

1106
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 3: to stay in the house. It made her sign a

1107
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 3: new lease where it stated again that this was a

1108
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,240
Speaker 3: rental and should she not pay or cause trouble again,

1109
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 3: my dad would give her the shortest possible notice of

1110
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 3: eviction allowed by the law. Karen is still renting the

1111
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 3: house after almost twenty years. My parents are not close

1112
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 3: to retiring yet. Do hope it won't turn into a

1113
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 3: crap show when they decide to take it back? The

1114
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:33,439
Speaker 3: house and we have an edits long edits any thoughts.

1115
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,720
Speaker 1: Man, it's just see, I feel like they'll be fine.

1116
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: It might take you know, it might take some time,

1117
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 1: but I think they have all the legal stuff in order.

1118
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 3: Facts. I feel like we're good renters, Yeah, I think so.

1119
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 3: As a renter, I feel like I'm as a renter.

1120
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: I feel like we're doing great job.

1121
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 3: We're pretty great.

1122
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: Honestly, I feel like as renters they should.

1123
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,439
Speaker 3: Lower a rent. Oh honestly, dang ye, because we're so good.

1124
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 3: So we're so good. We're just such good, right, every

1125
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 3: time we pay on time, we should get like, yeah,

1126
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 3: three dollars dollars off every time.

1127
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: Edit.

1128
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 3: The question why did your dad let her sign a

1129
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 3: new lease comes up a lot in the comments. I

1130
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 3: will say what I answered throughout the comments. I don't

1131
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 3: have the slightest clue why he would do that. As

1132
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 3: I was a kid much younger when this happened, I

1133
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 3: wasn't kept in the loop much. It was also not

1134
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 3: the reaction I would expect my dad to have, since

1135
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 3: he is respectful to others and expects the same in return.

1136
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 3: I do know the legal actions he took when she

1137
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 3: threatened to take him to court did protect himself and

1138
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 3: many future problems that might arise. I do appreciate all

1139
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 3: the concerns and the advice, although I do think my

1140
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 3: dad had a good reason to keep her as a

1141
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 3: tenant from hell after everything that went down.

1142
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: Now we got an update, man man oh man, So

1143
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:45,720
Speaker 1: what was the lease change?

1144
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 3: I don't know. It sounds like OPE wasn't in the

1145
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 3: loop with all the lease changes. I believe he probably

1146
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 3: wrote in a new lease saying, hey, as a reminder

1147
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 3: and also putting in their new like you will get

1148
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 3: the shortest eviction notice. If this happened again, he probably

1149
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 3: replaced that gotcha Yeah, up dirt you. Since the beginning,

1150
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,240
Speaker 3: there was a mutual agreement between Karen and my parents

1151
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,240
Speaker 3: that they would both give a six months notice before

1152
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:12,959
Speaker 3: she moved out or my parents would like to take

1153
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 3: back the house. Last week of June, my dad received

1154
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 3: a phone call from a representative of Karen. Due to

1155
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 3: financial circumstances, she was giving a month's notice before moving out.

1156
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: It was the six month thing in the least. Oh yeah,

1157
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it was. My parents were surprised by the

1158
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: short notice, but didn't really mind it as they were

1159
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: looking forward to taking back the place.

1160
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1161
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: I guess it's better than just like her staying there.

1162
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 2: You know.

1163
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, they might lose some money, but at least they

1164
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 3: it's it's available, then she's gone.

1165
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1166
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 3: Last week July, Karen was set to move out, but

1167
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 3: she asked for a week extension as she couldn't find

1168
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 3: anybody to help her move. My parents agreed. She was

1169
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 3: now set to move out by August to fourth, with

1170
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:55,240
Speaker 3: the car all loaded up the essentials dinnerware and cutlery,

1171
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 3: small furniture. We left for our first trip to the house.

1172
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 3: The plan was to look at the state of the place,

1173
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,879
Speaker 3: clean up a little bit, and take measurements for remodeling.

1174
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 3: My parents are planning. As we get to the place,

1175
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 3: we noticed a small sign in the driveway to advertise

1176
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 3: for a garage cell at the house. We figured she

1177
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 3: forgot to take it down. We were wrong. As we

1178
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 3: get to the house, we can see boxes and furniture

1179
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 3: through the windows queue to the shocked pikachuu phace as

1180
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 3: she answered the door. Turns out she had a moved

1181
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 3: yet and meant to call my dad and let them know,

1182
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 3: but of course she never did. She clearly didn't expect

1183
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 3: us to drop by so soon after her supposed moving day.

1184
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 3: My parents were both extremely pissed, but they gave her

1185
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 3: an additional week and expectations of payment for the weeks

1186
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 3: she overstayed. August eighteenth, my parents received the confirmation that

1187
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 3: she left the week she was supposed to. They had

1188
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 3: a neighbor drop by to make sure her things were

1189
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 3: really gone, but we didn't have time to make the

1190
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 3: trip until a week after. We found the place in

1191
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 3: much better shape than we expected. Of course, the place

1192
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 3: is not in a perfect condition, as it clearly has

1193
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 3: the wear and tear of a place that has been

1194
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 3: lived than for years. It still needs a good cleanup,

1195
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 3: some fresh paint in most parts of the room, and

1196
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 3: a lot of work on the land. There's also plans

1197
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 3: of remodeling a bit to make an additional room on

1198
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 3: the first floor so my parents don't have to go

1199
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 3: up the stairs all the time, and you could join

1200
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 3: us all the time. We go live on YouTube every

1201
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:17,800
Speaker 3: weekday at three PMPSD.

1202
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 2: Just tap our profile, have it. This is good, This

1203
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 2: is good.

1204
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: I think everything's working out.

1205
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1206
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean you really only had to deal with the

1207
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: problems for a couple months out of twelve years with

1208
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: this renter. I think that's pretty good.

1209
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 3: Not too bad. We've seen worse. Yeah, Oh my gosh,

1210
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 3: way worse. Turning a new leaf over. So this ends

1211
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 3: this whole chapter. My parents got the summer House back

1212
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 3: years before they expected, and although the renter was difficult

1213
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 3: until the end, she mostly went away without all the

1214
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 3: trouble we had expected. My parents are happy to take

1215
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 3: back the place and are looking forward to all the

1216
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 3: projects they have for it. They have been there almost

1217
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 3: every week to clean out and sort through the things

1218
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 3: we had sorted there. My dad did a fresh coat

1219
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:59,479
Speaker 3: of paint in some of the rooms, and they are

1220
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 3: looking for furniture. My brother went once and started to

1221
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 3: clear some of the things of the trees and get

1222
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 3: back the awesome view we used to have from the kitchen.

1223
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 3: My dad bought an old lawn tractor to help with

1224
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 3: the yard work and is excited like a little boy

1225
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 3: with a new shining toy. We'd like to get the

1226
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 3: place cleaned and ready to hopefully spend Christmas camping there,

1227
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 3: as we most likely won't have a lot of furniture

1228
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,439
Speaker 3: there yet. So that was good, every right, everything was great?

1229
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 3: End well, yeah, exactly cool. That wasn't too bad, No,
