1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: My homophobic parents kicked out my little brother because he's gay.

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: They have no idea what I'm about to do for revenge?

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 2: Blast Beyonce non stop. See how you like that gay icon?

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: Blast Freddie Mercury. Take him to a pride parade. Yeah,

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: we're just going out for dinner. Yeah, we're actually just

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: going out for like a little like celebration parade. It's

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: nothing in particular. No, no, oh, like, why are they

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 2: all in gold speedos?

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: Oh? Oh, that's just they're just very prideful. Yeah, you know,

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: it's just it's just it's just it's just a style.

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: Like why why are our naked people doing helicopter dogs

12
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 2: through the street, you know, in solidarity of Kobe who

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 2: died by helicopter I could that.

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: Was too much? What a move? Okay, So a little backstory.

15
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: My twenty six male little brother is almost ten years

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: younger than me. He just turned seventeen. He wasn't expected though.

17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: My parents weren't all that old when they had him,

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: and because of that, I haven't been the best big

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: brother to him growing up. I sort of resented him

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: for taking the attention away, even so he never returned

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: the resentment. It's so sweet, good little bro. He's always

22
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: been incredibly sweet to everyone, including me, and that made

23
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: teenage me even angrier and more. He's so nice. I

24
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: get take out. Isn't that the classic thing? Well, he's

25
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: just so nice, Like, oh my god, you're so do

26
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: you hate everything like me?

27
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's cool to hate stuff. Yeah, I hate my parents. Yeah,

28
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: I hate my teachers, I hate my life. Yeah that

00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: makes me sick. Yes, I'm the coolest present pressied X.

30
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: That's my name, the only way to get through the day.

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: X X is a pretty decent band name. Honestly, x

32
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: X sounds kind of funny. Yeah, but like spelled like

35
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: Never in my life.

36
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: I did it once and I totally don't remember that day.

37
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: I literally like went on a road trip to see

38
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: the most beautiful things in Australia and just like was

39
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: a zombie.

40
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: You just you saw the inside of your eyelands.

41
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, basically basically, and my and like the people thought

42
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: like I had like a mental Like the people that

43
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: I went with had never met me before, and they

44
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: thought I had like some kind of mental disability because

45
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: like I was so zonged.

46
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: I one time I had a friend who took adderall

47
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: to get up and then at the same time took

48
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: xan next to level back down. So I was like,

49
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: couldn't you just exist? Yeah?

50
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: Just regular, sobriety, right man. Season is brain like an elevator.

51
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: Exactly, but landing on the same floor presses up and

52
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: down at the same time. Now I know that it's

53
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: because of his kindness. I was made aware of my

54
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: own lack of kindness, but at the time I rationalized

55
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: it as him being a boot liquor.

56
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: Than that think classic like teenage rationalization. It's like, you're

57
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 2: just cozy ass bro.

58
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: What is oh okay? I was like, what is n

59
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: That's funny.

60
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 2: Boot liquor, ass kicker, goody poo shoes who shoes?

61
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: Getting two boots? Yeah, look at both those boots. Oh.

62
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: I know I was an a hole. I still regret

63
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: how I treated him to this day. Eventually I mellowed out,

64
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: and just before my undergrad graduation I talked to him

65
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: and apologized, Oh, that's really nice. Our relationship has been

66
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: on much better terms since then. Huge, But last week

67
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: my brother called me crying saying that he had been

68
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: outed at school. Our parents blew up and kicked him out.

69
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: It's a seventeen year old kid.

70
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: Oh oh god, it's crazy to me like that still happens,

71
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: and it's in the areas of the country in the world.

72
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: So wild, it's so wild, like so used to that,

73
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: like just like being like like LA is pretty accepting.

74
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's pretty surrounded by liberal ideology.

75
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the fact that yeah, like damn liberals accepting

76
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: seventeen year olds through who they are. Oh god, but uh,

77
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: it's pretty crazy that like people people say like that.

78
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: It's insane. I was livid, as you should be, ope,

79
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: as you should be. I made an online reservation for

80
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: a motel under his name, and I ordered him an

81
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: uber and told him to stay there until I can

82
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: pick him up. That's that's a good move. That's that's

83
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: that's what you need in that situation. I think I

84
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: drove back home right after work and it was a

85
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: ten hour drive. Wow. First thing I did when I

86
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: got there at three in the morning was bang on

87
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: my parents' door and ripped on him. Yeah, good for you, op.

88
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: I called them the nastiest names and threatened legal action

89
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: on them. I yelled at them so loudly and for

90
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: so long that a neighbor told me he was going

91
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: to call the cops on me, at which point I

92
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: just went back to my car and drove away to

93
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: pick my brother up. O Key, Opie going to bat

94
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: for his his brother. That's that's a that's a S

95
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: tier move. I I really like how it's like OPI

96
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: recognized like I was. I was like an a hohole,

97
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: like teenage dirt bag. But like, hey, I want to

98
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: I wanna change in this is this is this seems

99
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: like Opie's true self after the teenage. Love to see it,

100
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: Love to see it. He's not a teenage dirt bag anymore.

101
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: His school offers the option for students to do full

102
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: online courses due to the pandemic, and he's doing that

103
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: until the exams. I don't mind taking care of him

104
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: until he graduates, or even beyond that if he decides

105
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: to attend a college nearby.

106
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 2: I'm a goaded frickin' brothers, Like I love this.

107
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: Like imagine, like your seventeen year old brother, you now

108
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: had to like take care of them. We're both twenty six.

109
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: Like that's that's not nothing. That's hard. That's not hard

110
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: to do that for my sister, or would you? Or

111
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: sam O rage got so old. My sister's moving to

112
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: la next year. Oh yeah, I'm so excited. That's gonna

113
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: be fun. It's not living with me, but Samuel Donner's

114
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: own sister wouldn't live the negative, the negative campaign that

115
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: Samuel Donner has never edited a video in his life. Now,

116
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: I've been talking to a lawyer, and since my brother

117
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: is seventeen, the age of majority for our country, I

118
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: can't be accused of kidnapping him.

119
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: That would suck if like they kicked him out when

120
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: he was sixteen, and then the parents were like, oh,

121
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: kidnapp him by putting them out.

122
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: And that, and like in these in these stories, they

123
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: will that couldn't happen.

124
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they probably like seeing these parents, they probably

125
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 2: would just do everything they could just to make oh

126
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: peas and the brother's life hell. And it sounds like

127
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 2: this brother is such a sweetheart too.

128
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, like the poor the poor kid, poor you little brother.

129
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. The problem is I've been receiving emails

130
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: from my parents telling me that I've blown things out

131
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: of proportions and that I've humiliated them and destroyed their reputation.

132
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: Uh guess what. There's this little thing called destroying your your.

133
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: Own reputation, and you did just that by your actions.

134
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: It's like, wow, your actions have repercussions. Oh, if you're

135
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 2: an axhole, people might see it and then people are

136
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: going to see it on the internet and say, asshole, axhole, axehole,

137
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: axel Say it.

138
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: Ain't so, it is so, and it's big and it's

139
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: an asshole. It's gapin' oka. Apparently their plan was to

140
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: pretend to kick my brother out for a few hours

141
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: to teach him a lesson or something. What's the lesson here? Yeah? Yeah,

142
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: be gay? Wow, you're you're right parenting your award? You're

143
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: really crushed that one. Yeah, God, let me know when

144
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: the when the parenting book drops, will buy a copy?

145
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: What do expect when you're an afpule parent? Yes, they

146
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: told me that their neighbors now spread rumors about them

147
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: being abusive and they might lose their jobs over it. Again,

148
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: repercussion repercussions. You're telling me they're telling others the truth.

149
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: How dare they know? Both of them are only a

150
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: couple of years away from retirement. I'll be fine, Yeah, yeah,

151
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: come on.

152
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: That's an SMP whatever. Put somebody and pepe coin. Yeah,

00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: did you hear about pepe coin?

154
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: No, dude.

155
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: It went from like like zero to one and a

156
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: half billion in market cap and literally someone put twenty

157
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 2: four dollars in like a few months ago and made

158
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: seven million million dollars.

159
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's just winning the lottery. Yeah, yeah,

160
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: it is very dump your money in Petpike going on,

161
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. We've no financial advice here and that

162
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: and said that I don't have any rights to defend

163
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: my brother because I hated him for years. I feel

164
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: like someone always has a chance to defend those they love,

165
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: especially if they're trying to turn over a new leaf.

166
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: BECA doesn't make any sense. They're just grasping at the thinnest,

167
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: wispiest straws to try and like rationalize themselves. That last

168
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,599
Speaker 1: one made me question myself. They discussed me, and a

169
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: petty part of me believes that they deserve to be

170
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: hated for what they did, but another part of me

171
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: feels bad for making them potentially lose their jobs and pension,

172
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: especially since if this happened a few years ago, I

173
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: would have agreed with them over my brother? So am

174
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: I the a hole? There is an edit? Okay, Sam,

175
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: what are we at this point right now? No? What

176
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: are we thinking? No?

177
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: I want to know what you guys think, of course,

178
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: and it has like a sibling or have you ever

179
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: been kicked out of the house for any reason? We'd

180
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 2: love to know your stories. That sounds super interesting. But

181
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: as far as OPE goes, of course not. Just because

182
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 2: op was an asshole in his past doesn't mean he

183
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: has to be an asshole in his feature.

184
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: And the fact that the parents are like, you can't

185
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: defend your brother. You hated him, you should still.

186
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: Hate him is ridiculous, Like what SO has no bearing?

187
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: OPI is not the ahle?

188
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: All right, well let's see the edit. So thank you

189
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: for your response and awards. Some of you made me

190
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: and my brother cry when I showed him this post.

191
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: That's cute, so sweet. It's a bit sad that strangers

192
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: online showed my brother much more compassion and acceptance than

193
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: our own parents, but please know we treasure them greatly.

194
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: My parents ended up delivering all required legal documents in

195
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: person A few days after I posted. I had my

196
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: brother's stay at my girlfriends for that one, because he

197
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: wasn't and still isn't comfortable being around them. Just yet.

198
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: They were apologetic. I think they didn't say much, just

199
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: told me that they they ended up being persuaded to

200
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: retire early. Okay, they still have their pension, though I

201
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: think it's because of the early retirement. I didn't mention this.

202
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 1: But they work with children. Oh that is not a

203
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: good look. How do you work with children to kick

204
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: out your own kid? Well, could they lose the pension? No,

205
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Well, most pensions are you have

206
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: to work X number of years, So if you don't

207
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: work X number of year, don't get the pension. You

208
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: don't get the pension for whatever reason. Okay, wait, they

209
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: have their pension, but it's decreased right. This is why,

210
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: even though we live in a rather conservative country, them

211
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: kicking out their own son is something that their employer

212
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: cannot overlook. We discussed things civilly, or at least as

213
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: civilly as possible. No one yelled or raised their voice.

214
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: I apologize to them, not for standing up for my

215
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: brother that I will never regret, but I do feel

216
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: like I could have handled it like an adult instead

217
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: of giving in to my emotion.

218
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 2: Wow, that makes op even less the a hole literally

219
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 2: admitting that because I mean, yeah, that's true. Like, maybe

220
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: you shouldn't have yelled like he did, because what is

221
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: that going to achieve?

222
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: Exactly you, you could have said, like, hey, sit them

223
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: down and explain as clearly as possible to try to

224
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: get them to understand. Like, yeah, that's very arguably a

225
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: better move. They tried to apologize to me about the

226
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: whole thing, but I told them it's my brother they

227
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: need to apologize to, and that I wouldn't be having

228
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: any relationship with them unless he accepts and forgives them.

229
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: It's hard, and I feel like crap. Parental respect is

230
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: a big thing in my culture, but right now my

231
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: brother needs me more than I need to fulfill that

232
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: cultural obligation. Facts. Yeah, I like it. Things are about

233
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 1: as stable as it can be. My brother is still

234
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: going to school online. I told him that we can

235
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: arrange a transfer now that we have his documents, but

236
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: he told me he still has friends who stood up

237
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: for him during the entire thing, and he doesn't want

238
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: to move away from that supports us. It's hard not

239
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: to be cautious, but I'm trusting him to know how

240
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,119
Speaker 1: to defend himself and to come to me when he's overwhelmed.

241
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: I'm working on that in therapy. At first it was

242
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: just him, but last month, at his and his therapist urging,

243
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: we went to a joint session together. As some of

244
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: you have noted, I'm carrying a lot of guilt about

245
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: my past treatment of him. Frankly, I think that guilt

246
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: as well deserved, but I see now that it has

247
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: outgrown its initial usefulness and in the long run, it'll

248
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: just poison the both of us. Man, very very mature. Yeah,

249
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: I think Op knows himself. Yeah, absolutely. I guess all

250
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: I can say is if you find yourself wondering if

251
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: you need a therapist, chances are you do. That's all

252
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: for me and my brother. Thank you all once again

253
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: for your love and your kindness. Man, this is I

254
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: feel like this had a a good as good and

255
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: wholesome an ending as you could hope and expect.

256
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we don't hope and expect much from these stories.

257
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: He really exceeded the line and danced over it. We

258
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: appreciate you, Op, we love you, and we'll see soon.

259
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,599
Speaker 1: See you today after up by having seizure when I

260
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: asked for my job back.

261
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 2: That actually might get you a raise. Actually, you know, Hey,

262
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 2: I want my job or else I'm going to die

263
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: on the spot. One could say it's inopportune timing. I

264
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: think it is actually opportune timing. Another sam could say

265
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: it's an opportunity.

266
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: Tea.

267
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 2: That is an opportunity. Definitely. It's like, hey, can I

268
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: please with my job back? No you can, I'm dying.

269
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 2: Please to stop this, stop me dying. Giving my job

270
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 2: back that's the only way.

271
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: I twenty six male, have cistic fibrosis and I had

272
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: to get double lung transplant last year. Wow, I didn't

273
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: even know that was two sets of lungs. Now. Because

274
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: of the long recovery and COVID, I haven't been able

275
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: to work in a long time. I used to work

276
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: in a grocery store, and I decided to ask for

277
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: my part time job back. Working there was my only

278
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: hope because it's flexible and it's walking distance. That's good.

279
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: I can't drive anymore because of seizures, although I've only

280
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: had a few of them and I take medicine control them.

281
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: I walked over to the store looking my best and

282
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: ready to talk to my old manager. Everything felt so

283
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: surreal and bright. I figured that I was just getting

284
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: nervous and emotional about being there after so long. Right away,

285
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: near the front of the store, I saw old coworker

286
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: and she recognized me. Ask me how I've been, and

287
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: I tried to answer, but then my brain started shutting down.

288
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: Oh no, for some reason, I touched her chest. Wtf

289
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: is wrong with me? I don't think you can put.

290
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 2: That on yourself O page due season, man, you know,

291
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: I don't think although that, like in that split second

292
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 2: looks terrible on you, you're not at fault here.

293
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like like carp A DM, seize the day,

294
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: seize the titty. You know, it's tomato, tomato, that's bad.

295
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: Then I grabbed her on and I fell backwards. I

296
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: hit my head on the concrete floor and started seizing

297
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: really badly. My god. Everyone in the whole store surrounding me.

298
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: Many that I knew called one one two, which I

299
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: guess is nine to one one and wherever this is

300
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: being written over this. My head was bleeding. I was

301
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: puking and choking, and worst of all, I lost control

302
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: of my bladder. Oh this poor guy. Oh no, I

303
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: was wearing these tan khaki pants, so it was very noticeable.

304
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: That is literally the worst pair of pants possible. That

305
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: is the most noticeable. This possible sucks.

306
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: Bro.

307
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the piss just got all the way

308
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: down into my shoes. Good God. When I finally came

309
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: to the paramedics were cutting off my shirt in the

310
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: middle of the store. My chest is extremely messed up

311
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: with the scars and I have a J tube. Everyone

312
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: looked at me like an alien. I was so embarrassed

313
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: and trying hard not to break down. They were trying

314
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: to ask me questions, and I pretty much played dead

315
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: until I got in the ambulance. There went my one

316
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: potential job. I'll never go back there again. I'm all right.

317
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm just feeling defeated and mortified. The only thing helping

318
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: me has been reading over other posts like mine, knowing

319
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm not the only one, and that's why I decided

320
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: to share this. Damn dude, man, poor god.

321
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: Hope hopefully that sucks. Dude, that sucks so much. You know,

322
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 2: I want to say if he would have gotten the job,

323
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: the op seems like a go getter. I I can

324
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: confidently say I bet that he would have gotten the job. Yeah,

325
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: we're rooting for EUOPI.

326
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: We're rooting
