Speaker 2: I don't. I have a little bit, but I just

00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 2: cannot get into it. You I watch certain animes? Yes?

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: Like what watching this one anime Skip and Loafer waiting

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: for the next season. Oh, okay, it's great. It's the

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: only anime I've ever found that doesn't have a single

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: ounce of weird stuff in it.

11
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: Weird. Yeah. Do you guys watch anime?

12
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: Yeah? List to put them down in U cumments. What

13
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: was your first anime? My first was fairy Tale, which

14
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: is a lot for your first Let's start with the

15
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: story Totally two less two four two says. This happened

16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: a few years ago, but to this day, Hobby and

17
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: I still share the stories of the two terrible women

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: that haunted the complex when we rented our first real apartment.

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: This is a story from the Tish saga.

20
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: Did they have a fake apartment before this?

21
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: No, like their first real apartment together. Oh, we met

22
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: our upstairs neighbor, a mother whom we'll call Tish and

23
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: her twelve year old son, whom we'll call Ja. The

24
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: very day we moved in, it was raining, so it

25
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: was odd to find the pair standing at the foot

26
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: of the staircase that led up to their apartment, which

27
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: was directly above ours. Tisch told us that Jay wanted

28
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: to ask us a question. Jay pointed to the clothes

29
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 1: basket in Hubby's hands, which held our PlayStation and switch.

30
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: He told us, in the sweetest, most polite voice, that

31
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: he had been watching us unload our truck and had

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: seen the consoles, and he asked us if he could

33
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: borrow one of them. No, Hubby was and still is

34
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: understandably super protective of his things, and even if my

35
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: switch wasn't brand spaking new at the time, there was

36
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: no way I was going to loan a stranger of

37
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: any age a four hundred dollars console.

38
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: We gently declined, So they were just like, give us

39
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: these things for our kids.

40
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was like, can I please have your switch

41
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: and you'll PS four?

42
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: No? No, oh, that's weird play on my phone.

43
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: I barely let like Sam like, well I do let Sam,

44
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: because he got it for me, so he Sam can have,

45
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: but everyone else I'm like, you gotta be very careful

46
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: with it.

47
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: What I switched? Oh yeah, yeah, I didn't prefaceize we

48
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: keep it downstairs and play games all yeah.

49
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: Tish quickly schoolded Jay as if she hadn't known what

50
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: he'd intended to ask us, but Jay didn't seem phased

51
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: by the rejection. Instead, he smiled sweetly and told us

52
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: he'd run upstairs to get something to trade us for

53
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: a console. Tish, apparently oblivious to her fury just seconds before,

54
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: smiled like this was a great idea. But because it

55
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: was raining, Jay slipped on the stairs to their apartment

56
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: and grazed his leg. What proceeded was what can only

57
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: be described as the monolith shattering screams.

58
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: Of the elder blood.

59
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: Hobby nearly dropped the clothes basket in his rush to

60
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: help the kid, but Tish pushed Hobby aside, grabbed Jay

61
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: by the arm, and dragged him upstairs, shouting at Jay

62
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: for being so rude. This is not a healthy relationship

63
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: between this mother and child. Something's going on with them.

64
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: They're weird.

65
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: Hobby and I were speechless, but neither of us would

66
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: say what we really thought. Go get the deposit back

67
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: from the landlord. Now anyway, jaydenn't bug us about borrowing

68
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: a console again. But over the next few weeks we

69
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: noticed he was always hanging around outside our apartment. When

70
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: we got home from work. He'd be sitting on our

71
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: porch or in our lounge chairs. Sometimes he'd be playing

72
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: in the grassy area. Oh that was technically our lawn

73
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: since we had to care for it. One day, when

74
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: we came home, we caught him peeking through our kitchen window.

75
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: When Hobby confronted Jay, Jay smiled sweetly and said that

76
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: he just wanted to know where the delicious Aromas came from.

77
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: Chish never cooked, so he liked the smell of our apartment.

78
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: Why did he say that?

79
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: That's so weird? This kid is a freak, that delicious Aromas.

80
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: I don't like how much they're emphasizing how polite and

81
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: sweet he is, because it makes me think.

82
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: That he's really creepy.

83
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: So that kid from haunting a blind manner, Yeah, yeah,

84
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: I hate that kid.

85
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: What's his name? I've seen it twice? Hurra and Darth.

86
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: No, that kid who sucks that's his name? F right

87
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: in the cocrow cocrow Does that mean?

88
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a Japanese restaurant. What heart because they watch anime.

89
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: I watched a lot of anime. Okay, f right in

90
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: the cocrow, which means heart. It was hard to be

91
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: stern with Jay. He was obviously invading our privacy, but

92
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: he was also so sweet and well mannered. It was

93
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: actually wondered he was Oh, Miles, Miles.

94
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: Is the kid? Ah, yeah, I hate Miles.

95
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: It was actually a wonder He was issued from Tish's womb.

96
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: Over the next few weeks, she'd proved to be quite

97
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: selfish and negligent. Half the time Jay was playing in

98
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: her grass. It was because she wasn't home and had

99
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: told him to play outside so that he didn't mess

100
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: up the apartment. This was always during the day, however,

101
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: and the property was secure. Would I do what Tish did?

102
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: Never?

103
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: But since Jay was twelve years old and the neighbors

104
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: were all very trustworthy, we didn't call all social services

105
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: like every day. I don't think you should be leaving

106
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: a twelve year old outside every day. No, I don't

107
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: even know if I would ever leave a.

108
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: Twelve year old outside the farm.

109
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: I don't know, But I grew up in La like

110
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't like my parents were always especially if I

111
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: was outside.

112
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: My parents were always like, you know, home. I was

113
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: always like wandering around like my little compound. Yeah. So

114
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: it was cool, yeah, but like there were no people.

115
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: It was just family around.

116
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: Like it's different when you grow up in like a

117
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: city area.

118
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah that makes sense. Yeah.

119
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: I don't know where they grew up though, but it

120
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: seems like it's if there's apartment complexes.

121
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

122
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: Late late one night, Hobby and I were getting cozy

123
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: in our living room, real cozy. We were watching a

124
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: sexy movie. We'd had some wine and a nibble of

125
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: a special cookie. We knew that, even though we had

126
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: blackout curtains, we were running the risk of being heard

127
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: by the neighbors on either side and above, so we

128
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: kept things quiet. Once we were done, Hubby walked over

129
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: to the kitchen to get a glass of water, completely

130
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: ignorant of the fact that we'd forgotten to close the

131
00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: kitchen blinds.

132
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 2: Uh uh.

133
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: When he jumped, I thought it was because he almost

134
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: exposed his willy dilly ding dong. What is this to

135
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: the poor old lady next door or something? But no,

136
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: Hubby grabbed his pants and rushed back to the window,

137
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: staring curiously, almost angrily, into the darkness. He'd seen something,

138
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: he told me, But whatever or whoever it was, they

139
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: were gone. Miles would do this. This is such a

140
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: Miles move. We tried not to think anything of it,

141
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: and we decided that we'd reserve our cozy activities for

142
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: the bedroom out of respect for our neighbors and to

143
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: avoid humiliation. Not long after, we began watching Dragon Ball

144
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: Super which watching it in the living room was preferable

145
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: because anime is better enjoyed on a huge television and

146
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 1: a great sound system. It was late, around eleven PM

147
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: on a Saturday, and we'd been watching a few episodes,

148
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: but for some reason that I can't remember, we paused.

149
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: Hobby asked me if I wanted to watch another episode? Yes, y'all,

150
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: I didn't say that. Hobby didn't say that. The answer

151
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: came from the window right above our heads. Abby leaped

152
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: from the sofa and threw open the front door. There,

153
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: sitting as politely as you'd please on our porch in

154
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: a lounge chair with a blanket at eleven pm on

155
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: a Saturday, was Jay.

156
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: With the blanket. He's cozy.

157
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: He pulled one of our lounge chairs up to the

158
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: window and had been watching TV with us through the

159
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: crack and the curtain. We'd left to catch some breeze.

160
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: He stared at Hobby, happily happier than Tom Cruise, proclaiming

161
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: his love for Katie Holmes on Oprah. Well he was

162
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: until Hubby picked up a rock and threw it at him.

163
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, you can't throw rocks of kids.

164
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: We don't know how big this rock was. It could

165
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: have been a pepy.

166
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: You can't throw ox the kids. I think at that

167
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: point you drag the kid back up to his mom

168
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: and you say, hey, your kid should not be out

169
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: at eleven PM on his own, peeping through people's windows,

170
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: or feel like this might be like a CPS thing

171
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: because the mother seems like she's just not caring for

172
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: their kid at all.

173
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, just letting him do whatever.

174
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, but you can't throw rocksy kids.

175
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: I threw my brother because he would you weird child.

176
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: I was like, my teenageers, okay, well I have nothing

177
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: like they don't stop coughing. I'm gonna throw rocks until

178
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: you stop. And then he stopped. That's so this is

179
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: concerning Really he's okay now, that.

180
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: Makes it sounds like he got hurt.

181
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: He doesn't have asthma anymore.

182
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: Oh with the coughing, I thought you meant like he's

183
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: okay now he got some bad cuts.

184
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: From those rocks.

185
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: Yes, stones, Yeah, don't throw rocksy, kids, don't do it.

186
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: Rocks hurt, sticks and stones break your.

187
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: Bones, and words do hurt you.

188
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: Sticks and stones may break your bones, and words also

189
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: always hurt you.

190
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: Yep.

191
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: Was it creepy for the kid who have been peeking

192
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: into our living room from the window at eleven pm?

193
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: Of course? Was it cool to throw rocks at him?

194
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,359
Speaker 1: Hobby and I disagreed. Being a teacher, I couldn't rationalize

195
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: that level of retaliation against a child, no matter if

196
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: he were a thin man from Charlie Charlie's Angels level creepy.

197
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: After Jay ran off, screaming like a macaw and heat,

198
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: I love the amount of like metaphor, She reads me.

199
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: I watched this sorry similar in this it's fun, she reads.

200
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: I told Hobby we had to apologize in the morning,

201
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: but we'd also talk to Tish about Jay's inappropriate behavior.

202
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: Tish was pretty chill the next morning. When we went

203
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: to see her upstairs. She even laughed when Ubby told

204
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: her about throwing the rock, which I found super weird.

205
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: That is weird.

206
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: Tish just shook her head and told us that Jay

207
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: thinks we're the coolest. Maybe she said, we should just

208
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: invite Jay in the next time. What next time? Wouldn't

209
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: it be weird? I e fing red flag behavior for

210
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: two grown ass adults to invite a twelve year old

211
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: into the apartment at eleven pm. Tish laughed, No, she

212
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: can tell we're not those kinds of people. She can

213
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: tell we love kids. Why would we watch Dragon Ball

214
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: Souper and have video games if we didn't. But we're

215
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: so mean to Jay. Every day Tis sends him down

216
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: to play with us, and we ignore him. It's so cold.

217
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: How we just let a child run around knowing he's

218
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: all alone. B you're his mother, you leave Jay all

219
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: alone in the first place. So she says, Ah, you're

220
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: so out of touch. You have no idea what it's

221
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: like being a single mother. All Tish wants is a

222
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: few hours on the weekend to enjoy herself. Jay wouldn't

223
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: be scaring us if we just let him into our apartment.

224
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: When Tish goes out with their friends. We have video

225
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: games and we watch anime. Hobby lost it. He told

226
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: Tish what he really thought about her and her weird kid.

227
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: He told Tish to hire a babysitter, or he'd personally

228
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: call our landlord and report her. Tish sucked her teeth

229
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: and slam the screen door in our faces, But before

230
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: she could slam the main door, she told us that

231
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: moving forward, we needed to make sure our curtains were

232
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: closed if we were going to walk around our apartment naked.

233
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: That She looked down at Hubby's jewel area and laughed,

234
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: there's a whole family of peeping toms like mother, like son, yikes,

235
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: dude is zikes.

236
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: I would just go ahead and call the landlord.

237
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: Yeah no, at that point, called landlord. This is really

238
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: weird behavior. She shouldn't be leaving her child out alone.

239
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: She shouldn't be expecting other people to take care of

240
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: her child. And if someone tells you that they threw.

241
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 2: A rock at your kid, I think you should be like,

242
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 2: don't do that instead of ha ha ha.

243
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: Ha ha ha. Just let him in next time.

244
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: Hubby's name, Classic Hubby, Classic Hubby's name.

245
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: What's his name John Classic John. Oh wait, no, John's

246
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: we already have a John.

247
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 2: We are we gonna have two John's.

248
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: John two join John Classic John with the JAO. No

249
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: h okay, anyway, you know what else doesn't have an H?

250
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: What what does it have? An H? Sophia? This next

251
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,599
Speaker 2: story as an age, it does have an H.

252
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry only one. Opie leaves and her kids

253
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: are raised by a wolf pack? What like a real

254
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: wolf pack?

255
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,599
Speaker 2: How long did you leave your kids for? Was this

256
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: like all we left them at the zoo and yeah.

257
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: And the wolves? Is this a metaphorical wolf pack?

258
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: Dude? I don't know.

259
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: I don't think her kids were actually raised by wolves.

260
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 2: I think they went to a zoo. The wolves were there,

261
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 2: and the kids learned how to like do a cool trick. Yeah,

262
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 2: they're biting people. They were like influenced by that. And

263
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: Opie's like, oh my gosh, my kids. Okay, that's what happened.

264
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: If you loved your kids out in the woods, yeah

265
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: for like and then these actual wolves raised them. Yeah,

266
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 2: that's concerning.

267
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: That is concerning.

268
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: You're the a hole.

269
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, well let's find out what Kamamad says I twenty

270
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: eight female have three kids with my ex thirty male.

271
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: We were never married, but we dated while I was

272
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: in college. My senior year, I got pregnant and had twins,

273
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: both boys. He moved me in with him and we

274
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: were raising our kids together. Fourteen months after giving birth

275
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: to the boys, I had a girl. Immediately after, I

276
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: had postpartum depression. I wasn't doing well and I decided

277
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 1: to go back home to my parents to try to

278
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: clear my head. Once home, I saw my old bedroom,

279
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: my old things, and was kind of reminded of what

280
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: I always wanted to do. I always wanted to take

281
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: a gap year to travel, but I had gotten a

282
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: scholarship to my first toy school, and it seems silly

283
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: to pass it up. I decided, then this is what

284
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: I needed to get in the right mental state. I

285
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: called baby Daddy and told him I'm going to Europe

286
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: for a couple months. He was incensed and tried to

287
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: talk me out of it. I explained, this is what

288
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: I needed to go back to being myself and be

289
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: a better parent and partner. I don't know if you

290
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: could just up and leave, I don't.

291
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: Know about that.

292
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: If you got kids, you gotta step up.

293
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, stick that out. You rather have to stick it

294
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: out or pay child support?

295
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, to pay child support regardless, but you should, you know,

296
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: realize that you're not ready for it and like let

297
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: them be adopted into a family that is ready for it,

298
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: or like specifically be like I cannot do this and

299
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: like give full custody over to the husband, but still

300
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: obviously still pay child support. But like, I mean, obviously

301
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: that's not great off. But you can't just be like

302
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 1: I need to find myself.

303
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're an adult. No, no, no, your brain is

304
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 2: fully developed. You had the kids.

305
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: Unfortunately that is a consequence, Like you got to take

306
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: care of them, yeah, or give them to people who

307
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: can't take care of them, or pursue There are like options,

308
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: and this is not a great option to choose. So

309
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: I went. He called me the first couple of months

310
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: and kept asking if I was coming back. Eventually he

311
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: stopped calling. About six months in, my parents told me

312
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: that he had filed to get full custody of the kids.

313
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: I was mad he didn't tell me before doing it.

314
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: He's been calling her, but I thought I at least

315
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: take full advantage and really see the world and get

316
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: it out of my system.

317
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: She sucks.

318
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: I traveled for a little over two years and visited

319
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: every continent. When I was done, I really wanted to

320
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: see my kids, but I felt guilty for not being

321
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: present in their lives, and I didn't want to face

322
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: my ex. One of the friends I made in my

323
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: travels offered me a gig as an English teacher in

324
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: a private school in Thailand. I took the opportunity and

325
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: spent the next three years doing that. Oh this, I

326
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: returned Stateside and stay with my parents. They showed me

327
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: pictures of the kids and told me my ex let

328
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: them see the kids. A couple of times I got

329
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: in touch with him, telling him I was ready to

330
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: be involved in their lives, and he flat out refused.

331
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: I threatened to sue for custody and he just replied,

332
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: good luck with that, and sent my pictures of me

333
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: partying and Europe. They are not flattering. My parents want

334
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: to see their grandkids more, but they tell me it's

335
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: all my fault for not being able to see them.

336
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: Am I the ale for trying to see them?

337
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: You're the ale? Yeah, You're you're the ale. You left them,

338
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: You left them for another life.

339
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: If you leave them that is your choice, and you

340
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: have to own up to that decision. You can't just

341
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: be like I needed to see the world and then

342
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: come back and expect that everything's gonna be fine.

343
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.

344
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: Op's X had full rights to like take full custody.

345
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: He was the only one there.

346
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Opie left. Yeah, this is not cool.

347
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: This is so obviously you're the a whole top comment

348
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: from so someone who knows the op and her ex

349
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: this is good. Rand zero muser twenty one says Reddit,

350
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: it's my time to shine. I love when someone finds

351
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: that you like who knows them and it's like I

352
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: got away in.

353
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: It's so good because all we're gonna usually is just

354
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 2: one side, is one point of view, but like having

355
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: both sides, you can really like decipher what's going on.

356
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, had to make a brand new account to not

357
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: reveal anything personal. I know exactly who this is. I

358
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: know the kids and the dad. Those kids were raised

359
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: by a wolf pack. When this pathetic waste of oxygen

360
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: abandoned her kids, Basically, anyone and everyone who had a

361
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: passing relation to the dad stepped up. His mom moved

362
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: in for the first year to help with the babies, neighbors,

363
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: friends and relatives all donated or bought kids stuff for them.

364
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, diaper's toys, anything he needed. One of

365
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: his friends manages a restaurant and he brought them unused

366
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: food almost every night. I worked at a bank, so

367
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: I had nothing useful to contribute other than money in time.

368
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: One of our buddies ran an mma, Jim, and he

369
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: had kids class that starts after school, so we took

370
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: them in after school until their dad gets off work.

371
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: Whenever the kids need a babysitter, two or three rowdy

372
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: men show up ready to be horses or punching bags

373
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: for the boys, and tea party guests for the little girl.

374
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: One of our other friends is a lawyer. He helped

375
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: them gaining custody and advised him through the process. Opie's

376
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: parents are rich and they always offer money to help

377
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: on the advice of our lawyer friend. He always refuses.

378
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: That way they can't use that in any future custody battles.

379
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: He didn't even let them introduce themselves as their grandparents,

380
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: so they can't claim our relationship. Their dad is doing

381
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: well now. Those kids don't want for anything. Every Sunday

382
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: night he hosts us to watch football and hang out

383
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: with the kids. His daughter delights in serving everyone wheat juice.

384
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: Wheat juice.

385
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 2: To know that is they're so much better off without

386
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 2: this witch wow, because she was like, they're like this

387
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 2: horrible Yike.

388
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: Honestly, I totally get second Opie's take on this. The

389
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: friend also, I guess it is a metaphorical wolf pack.

390
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: I think that that was a bit of a confusing

391
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: word to use because wolf pack made it sound like

392
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: somewhat negative.

393
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it.

394
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: Seems like wolf pack in the sense of like they

395
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: were raised by our village.

396
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: Ah, which is really sweet. That is super sweet and

397
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 2: I love that. Yeah, it's really cool that everyone like

398
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 2: stepped up, stepped up and like did their part and

399
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: took care of these kids.

400
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really tough for the grandparents. I guess

401
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: that they don't really get to have that relationship with

402
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: their family. But unfortunately that is fully on original Opie's thoughts.

403
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: Her.

404
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they could the grandparents if they were accepted as

405
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: like a relation and they were giving money, they could

406
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: be like, hey, the OPI's ex doesn't have the money

407
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: to take care of these kids, so we should take them.

408
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

409
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: So I understand why the baby daddy was like I

410
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: don't want them to you.

411
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 2: Know, I feel like OPI also like got a little

412
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: bit of fomo and was like, oh, I want to

413
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 2: be a part of my kids' lives now, and it's

414
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: like no.

415
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, absolutely literally, just like it's so selfish, like

416
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: left the country, went on a trip and then after

417
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: like years, after years, was like, oh, you know what,

418
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: I have kids like too little, too late. Nope, it

419
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: is totally okay if you're not ready to be a parent,

420
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: but like you cannot expect to come back to something.

421
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: Yeah after years of just like not putting in any effort. Yeah, yeah,

422
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: you're like you have to own up to those consequences.

423
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Good on the dad though, Yeah, got everybody.

424
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: It probably made like a little community too, like a

425
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: little like everyone's like oh yeah, I love that.

426
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: No, great community, I love it. You know what else?

427
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: I love this next story. You
