1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: If my brother comes out as gay, he's banned from

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: going to the wedding. Am I the a hole? It

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: would appear, So it seems like you're arraging a hole.

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: It seems like you are a seems like you're a

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 2: kernel of the closet. You know, a protector against penis,

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: a blocker of the cockers, the blocker of the cockers.

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 2: And you know this kind of cock blocking not acceptable.

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: No no no no no no no no no no.

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: Let your brother ram into whatever cocky pleases.

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: Your brother wants to fuck butts, Let it happen, Let

11
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: it happen.

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: You hate you, You just lay it out on the table.

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: I just just like his brother wants to lay it

14
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 2: out on the table. Loud nutshit buy him. We are

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: we are pro on tables, that's right, or even on maps,

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: like you know, you know that classic classic pickup line,

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: Hey do you know where? You know where this is

18
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: in the city? And you're like you have the map

19
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: in front, uh huh, and then you're just dickets on

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: the map.

21
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: That's that's I've never heard of fat who's in an

22
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: office episode?

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: Ah, I see, I'm just kidding. Also, by the way,

24
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 2: just kidding, do not put your wiener on a map.

25
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: Or or do or maybe we are heavily encouraging you.

26
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: You know, you never really know the difference on this

27
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: on this podcast, on this podcast. All right, this is

28
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: the worst thing ever. I am losing sleep over this.

29
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm getting married in a week to an awesome woman

30
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: and I cannot wait to be her husband.

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 2: We are so excited. Whoo.

32
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: Well, you know what I can't wait for to be

33
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: you in the face. Let your brother go to the wedding. Okay, yeah,

34
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: that's right. Machimony off matrimony more like slaperoni in.

35
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: The your face. Hod, you're dumb.

36
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: Oh, Now, my brother is gay, but my family doesn't know.

37
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: Only me and my parents know.

38
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: I come from a very old school trade additional family.

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: So the old part of the family, the grandparents, some

40
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: aunts and uncles still have a last centuries mindset, and

41
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: the younger portion, the cousins the siblings, are more open

42
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: minded and living in the present times kind of like

43
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: there's like a decent amount of family. Yeah, it's like

44
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure each family has like there's some sort of

45
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: like progressive thing that somebody in your larger family is

46
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: not accepting of. So my brother has been dating his

47
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: boyfriend for six months now and the dude is great.

48
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm so happy that my brother found a great guy.

49
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: But it's kind of a secret and he hasn't told

50
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: my family that he's gay yet.

51
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: So supportive? Are you?

52
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: You're so support such an ally? You are? Okay, let's

53
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: let's let's get.

54
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: To the bottom of this. Yeah, I'm based on the title,

55
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: I would think that you are not an ally.

56
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: I've been telling him for years that he should come

57
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: out because I know it stresses him a lot, and

58
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: I think it will make him feel a lot better

59
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: to not have to hide anymore. Plus I bet a

60
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: few family member already know anyway, solid advice. Yeah, that's that,

61
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: that makes sense. That makes sense. But he disagrees. He

62
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: knows a part of the family won't accept it and

63
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: there will be a lot of drama.

64
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 2: I see the opposite.

65
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: I see it as the sooner you know who the

66
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: idiots are, the sooner you can cut them out from

67
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: our lives. I have no interest in having someone in

68
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: my life that doesn't accept my brother just because he's gay. Okay,

69
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: it seems like, oh, he's saying all the right things,

70
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: the fair reasoning, fair reasoning. I don't know if I

71
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: would p like, it seems like he's kind of pushing

72
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: his brother in that direction. I don't know if I

73
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: would push to per se, I'll share my opinion, sure, like, hey,

74
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: this is honestly how I how I think, but.

75
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: Like you don't need to keep pushing it.

76
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, anyway, that's his decision, not mine. So for now,

77
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: he won't say anything. Until a few weeks ago, all right,

78
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: when he said that he wants to bring his boyfriend

79
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: to my wedding. I was not expecting that to be honest,

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: so he went from zero to one hundred pretty dang fast.

81
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: Imagine that complicates the wedding event.

82
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: Because basically that means he's coming out at the wedding.

83
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: That's essentially what it means. If it was any other occasion,

84
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: I would be so supportive.

85
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: Obviously is it obvious? How obvious? Is it?

86
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: A parent?

87
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: It's just I mean, but I understand I understand from

88
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: op's perspective, where it's like that's probably going to create

89
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: like a shit ton of drama, especially if the family

90
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: members are are that are that homophobic.

91
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: Would probably be a mess. But also like these family

92
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: members are already fucking homophobic. Then you have the audacity

93
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: to ruin the wedding because of something you didn't agree with,

94
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: like insane or like cause drama calls like shut shut

95
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: the fuck up, this is my wedding and you're not

96
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: gonna say shit.

97
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 2: About Actually a really good that's a really good point.

98
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: Like I feel like op's putting the weight on the

99
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 2: brother being like, hey, don't mess us up. But really

100
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 2: it's like you've been encourage the brother to be themselves,

101
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: so let the brother be hisself and then chastise anyone

102
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: that says different.

103
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: That's not even what I was saying, but that's a

104
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: great point what we're saying. I was just saying, like,

105
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: like how insane it is that, like not only are

106
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: these family members homophobic, but they then have the additional

107
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: audacity to like cause drama, sped rumors, blah blah blah

108
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: blah blah, Like it's it's his wedding and it's his brother.

109
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's I mean. The tough part about

110
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: that is basically the brother would have to either a

111
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 1: get out ahead of it and say like my brother

112
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: is gay. If anyone says anything, you're getting kicked out

113
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: on site, or he just does it on site and

114
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: if he notices any drama, he's like, you gotta leave.

115
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: Those are really the two options. If if op wants

116
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: to like lay down the log.

117
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: Like Opie's brother, just take the guy and.

118
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: Just he could. But then the potential for the drama

119
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: is there, right, so.

120
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 2: Then yeah, I have to like I don't. I don't

121
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: think it would be that.

122
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: It's also just potential drama. It's not even like saying

123
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: that anything.

124
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 2: It's like announcing it at that wedding. Like I think

125
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: that's different. I would probably just yeah, just like I

126
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: wouldn't announce it that the way. I would just say,

127
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: like no.

128
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, just let the brother do his thing. If I

129
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: hear a fuss from it, I would tell like everyone

130
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: in like the parents and stuff, like if anyone hears

131
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: anything on site, they're getting kicked out.

132
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: But that creates drama.

133
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: That's okay. I'm okay with that drama. But like, this

134
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: is my wedding. I don't I don't need you ruin

135
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: my celebration. A and then B, I don't need you

136
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: messing with my brother, which messes with my celebration.

137
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 2: Lay down that law if it was.

138
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: Any other occasion, I would be supportive obviously, but don't

139
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: think that my wedding day is the day to do that.

140
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: Imagine all the drama and gossip and bs that would happen.

141
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: And I don't want to get the attention away from

142
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: my fiance. That's her day, and I don't want to

143
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: have to worry about that on my wedding day. And

144
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: I think that that is a pretty good reason. I mean, look,

145
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: it's it definitely sucks that it definitely complicates things, and

146
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: it definitely sucks that you potentially, like if some you know,

147
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: uncle or whatever is like keeps saying stuff. You know

148
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: you hear him in the background, it is just just

149
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: causing trying to stir shit up. It sucks, right, you

150
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: gotta go deal with it. Yeah, it's it's complicated. That sucks.

151
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: I asked him why my wedding day, and he said

152
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: it's because he wants to celebrate love with the two

153
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: people that he loves most, me and his boyfriend.

154
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: This is killing me.

155
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: I would fight my that's.

156
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: Such a like, that's such a wholesome reason.

157
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's like, gee, the only, only the purest,

158
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: like most heartwarming reason of all time. I would fight

159
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: my whole family for my brother, and never speak to

160
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: them again if I had to. But my wedding day

161
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: is supposed to be a celebration, not a family fight.

162
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: And I can't do this to my wife.

163
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: That might ruin our future.

164
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: See what you're saying.

165
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if it ruins your.

166
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: I don't know who ruins your future future. But there

167
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: there is a hot I think everyone can admit there

168
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,559
Speaker 2: is a higher percentage chance of your wedding going wrong.

169
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 2: Yes because of this.

170
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, I didn't even tell my fiance. She's

171
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: already so stressed out. I did not want to make

172
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: it worse. With a heavy heart, I asked him to

173
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: please come alone to the wedding and that I hope

174
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: he understands me. He started crying and left my house

175
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: without saying anything. Dude. The next day I got a

176
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: text and he said, don't worry going alone. I tried

177
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: to call him, but he didn't answer me, and my

178
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: parents don't seem to know what's happening because they didn't

179
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: say anything. He eventually called back after a few days.

180
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: We spoke and he said he understands my side, but

181
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: things are still weird between us. This is the worst

182
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: situation of my life. Am I a whole for handling

183
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: it the way I did?

184
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 2: I mean, chicks here think so fiance though, I think

185
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: he's been telling his brother to accept who he is

186
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 2: for a long time and his brother's finally taking his,

187
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: like op advice, hmm, it feels almost maybe a little

188
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: hypocritical to He's not asking to make a speak to

189
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: or anything. He's just like, I just want to bring

190
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: my boyfriend to celebrate love. It definitely is a super

191
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: complicated situation. I wouldn't say that Op is an a

192
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: hole for it, but I would say it is not

193
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 2: the most loving and kind way to deal with this situation. No,

194
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: I think the most the best way to do it

195
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 2: would just to be, hey, bring your bring your boyfriend.

196
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: I think I think that's what he should have done. Like,

197
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: it does add accept the consequences. Potentially, it does add

198
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: potential drama, but like again me like anyone trying to

199
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: stir up any kind of shit at my wedding, You're gone.

200
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's over, and it's like it's also like

201
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: your brother has is just trying to represent it the

202
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 2: most pure, authentic version of himself. If your family members

203
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: do not accept that, then they're exposing themselves you don't

204
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: want in your life anyway, Like the op's saying, I

205
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 2: want those people in my life. So yeah, you're just

206
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: weeding people that you don't want to in your life.

207
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: There you go, and obviously like you know, but it

208
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: is tough. In an ideal world, like it would have

209
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: been known beforehand and the family reveals themselves and you

210
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: cut them out before. But that's not the situation we're in.

211
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: I think you should have I think you should have

212
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: invited him to the wedding and just like dealt with

213
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: it as it come and be like, Okay, I'm just

214
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm just not going to worry about this. I'm going

215
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: to enjoy my day. If anything happens, I'll take care

216
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: of it.

217
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, I agreed, Yeah,
