I have this 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.280 spare room. You know, no problem till you get back 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.520 on your feet. He was all about that, which was 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:47.080 really cool. 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:49.680 Okay, is he allowed in any other part of the 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:51.240 apartment or just the spare room? 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.960 So wait, wait till I tell you this. So pretty 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.160 much the first week I didn't ask anything of him, like, 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:00.520 nothing at all. 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:04.240 Yeah, okay, your home be comfortable. 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.240 Yea, as supportive as Yeah, he can crash on the couch, 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.040 he can watch TV all that stuff. 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:17.279 Yeah, he probably could use that after getting done the breakup. 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.880 No, no, nothing like that. Well, after a while he's 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.719 been living here and using my utilities and stuff like that. 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:25.960 I mean, who didn't see this coming? 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.159 Yeah, I mean how long is a while? 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.839 Well, he's been here for already, like four months. 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.960 Has he offered to help chip in? I mean, maybe 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:37.560 he can't cover his half yet? 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.680 But nothing. He has not offered anything. And at the 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.120 time he didn't have a job, so I pretty much 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:44.920 reduced the raid. I was like, look, buddy, you don't 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.360 have to give me anything, but when the time comes, 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.479 you can maybe help out, and he said, yeah, sure, 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:50.320 no problem. 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.560 So you did have that conversation, then that's good. 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.320 Yeah, but I mean he didn't really we didn't even 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.279 touch base on it after that. You know, he'd just 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.800 been crashing. He's been eating all of my groceries. 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.480 And there wasn't like a number you said, like, hey, 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:03.640 when you get on your feet, five. 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.960 Hundred mon like nothing, nothing like that. I guess that 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.719 was my mistake too. Maybe is he working now? 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:10.720 He is? 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.760 He actually has a part time job, part time. 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.400 You can chip in some money, like yeah, you can't 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.839 pay part time, but yeah, a hundred bucks. 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.360 Or something exactly exactly. That's what I'm saying. That's why 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.679 I called you guys, because I mean he's spending almost 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.520 all his time just chilling at my place, like watching TV. 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:29.720 He makes a really big mess and I'm like a 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:31.800 neat freak, so I'm always picking up after him in 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:33.080 I mean. 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.719 You don't really know someone until you live with them totally, 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:36.880 you know, totally. 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.359 Yeah, so I was. I was forgiving at first, but 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.120 this has been going on for months, Like I say, so, yeah, 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:44.960 I don't know.

That's got to be 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.120 an awkward conversation. But it's like they always say, if 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.840 you don't make your friends feel ashamed about themselves and 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.200 their life choices, how else are they going to grow? 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:56.560 I mean, okay, I don't know that. 0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:00.599 Did your friends not ever say that to you?

I'm like, 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.720 how do I even approach this conversation and. 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.000 Also clean up after himself and also not be such 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:24.440 a slot? 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:26.000 Yeah? 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.400 If nothing else, Brooke will let him live at her 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.240 place down in the basement, no, okay, up in the 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.320 attic then right now, we can't do that. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.600 Even the kids have to do chores, Jeff, Oh, yeah, 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.720 there's nobody that goes without a workload in my house. 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:40.400 All right. That house has enough of a hell hole. 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.720 So we'll come up with better advice and let you 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.680 make your awkward Tuesday phone call right after this. Hold on, man, 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.280 it's awkward. It's Tuesday. 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:51.960 It's awkward Tuesday phone call. 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.880 It's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning, and we're dealing 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.800 with a fairly common situation here where you try to 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:02.600 help someone out and feel like they're taking advantage of 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:07.720 your kindness. And what's the saying, don't mistake my kindness 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.560 for weakness. I think McCaulay culkin said that to the 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.680 Robbers in Home Alone, yea or no? 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:14.400 Was it? 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:18.600 John Stamos said that to the Full House Twins. Yeah, 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.480 a lot of that's going around on TV and on movies, 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.920 but maybe it's just a life lesson that stayed with me. 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:27.600 That definitely applies to our listener Chris today because he 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.760 took in a close buddy of his who lost his 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:34.040 job and his girlfriend almost at the same time. Guy's 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.320 been staying with him for the last four months and 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.800 it's not going well because his buddy is super messy, 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.880 not helping to chip in for the rent, and he's 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.120 decided at this point something has to. 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.480 Change the rent or the food, jeff all of it. 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:52.840 So how do we help him broach that topic of conversation. Brooke, 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:53.880 what's your advice. 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:54.840 Here's the thing. 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.079 You sound pretty upset. 0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:00.880 I am upset. I don't think that this is oh, Chris. 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.760 Yeah, Chris, I feel for any I mean, he was heated, dude. 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.800 I think what you do is you just tell your roommate, hey, listen, 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:09.120 my nephew's coming into town. 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.720 So he's got to leave for a couple of weeks 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:12.560 just so. 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.960 That you can give some space to clear your mind 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.320 before you have this terrible conversation with him. 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:21.320 So it sounds like, again, Brook, your advice is to 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:25.040 not make the awkward Tuesday phone call in this segment 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.240 that we're actively doing right now. 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.840 I mean, the problem is is that I just don't 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.680 think you can have a productive conversation when your emotions 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:33.360 are really high. 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:36.280 Okay, we're going to cancel that and move right on 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.640 over to Jose.
