1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: My family who excommunicated me suddenly contacted me.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 2: What should I do?

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: This comes from see lengthiness six two seven eight, and

Speaker 4: Right, it's it's like further catch brow, that's a good catch.

00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: I come from a very rich and known family in China.

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: We have several company and properties. So that's why everything

15
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: she wants is always given, while I had to do

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: the extra chores just to get allowance. Wow, so they're

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: rich and OPI is still getting like, you know, stills

18
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: to like wash the floors.

19
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: Crumbs that his sister walks on is no, she's she's

20
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 3: hoverboarding over it.

21
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: Oh that her sorry, her sister. Yeah, that her sister

22
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: walks on. Yeah. He like it's like with those curlers,

23
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, when you're like like when they curl the

24
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: and they have the sweepers right behind it, right exactly,

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: he's sweeping right behind the or she's sweeping right behind

26
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: the ground.

27
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: She loved that.

28
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: Actually, when I was fourteen, I was given a red

29
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: pocket for Chinese New Year. Emma also got one. When

30
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: we opened it, Emma received a bunch of red bills.

31
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 1: If I remember correctly, she got twelve red bills, signifying

32
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: they want her to have a prosperous New Year and

33
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: hope that money will never be a problem for her. Well,

34
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: I only got six red bills. I cried, saying it's

35
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 1: not fair. As punishment for my tantrums, my parents took

36
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: my red pocket and told me to go to my room.

37
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: I remember being comforted by Emma, and she even offered

38
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: to split it in half, but I declined and told

39
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: her to leave. Oh hello, sweet Yeah, Emma sounds like

40
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: a total sweetheart. It's the parents that are the issue here.

41
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: It's a classic case of like the parents favoring one

42
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: child did astata? Parents are favoring one child, which actually

43
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: makes the other child resent that child. Yes, the parents,

44
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: It's been that way since every Chinese New Year. Emma

45
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: always receives twelve items such as gold and money and

46
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: even receiving blessings and praises from the elders, while I

47
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: the eldest, always got a smaller amount, and as I

48
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: grow older, I received a smaller and smaller amount due

49
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: to their excuse that I was getting old.

50
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 2: Inflation's tough out here, and.

51
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: Now John's only getting like one gold. Anyways, two years

52
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: ago for the Chinese New Year, my family went all

53
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: out for Chinese New Year, and even went as far

54
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: as to give all the employees a red pocket that

55
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: was very thick. When my grandfather started giving every grandchild

56
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: the red pocket, everyone but my sister got one. Everyone

57
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: but my sister. Tables have turned. Maybe it was suspicious,

58
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: but I don't care. My grandfather called for Emma and

59
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: told her to take this, and he handed her an envelope,

60
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: and when she read the contents of the envelope, she

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: started celebrating. It turns out she didn't just receive a

62
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: letter full of red pocket notes, not some more money, No, no, no,

63
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: she received way more. Turns out she received twelve percent

64
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: of one of the companies my family owned, whoa twelve percent.

65
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: And to put that in context, if this is a

66
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 3: wealthy family, if the company is worth even a few

67
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: million bucks. You're getting twelve percent of a few million.

68
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, even a few million bucks? Yeah a million? John,

69
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 4: What a couple hundred thousand dollars company? In enough for you, old.

70
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: Rich white man John over here?

71
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: Ound a monopoly man that is the best for you?

72
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Yeah, I mean but like, most likely

73
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: it is a few million dollars based on the wealth

74
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: of this family. All right, really quick, do we what

75
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: do we think of this situation? So far? There's much

76
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: more to this story, but so far breaking it down,

77
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: do you think op is being treated unfairly by their

78
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: sister getting twelve percent of the company and op getting

79
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: nothing even though OPI is the eldest child, which I

80
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: believe in a lot of cultures China included, means that

81
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: you are favored, typically favored, except maybe in the case

82
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: like this is you know, traditional gender roles and stuff,

83
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: but except in the case of like a firstborn boy.

84
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: But they're both girls. Yeah, so that's what doesn't make

85
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: sense to me too.

86
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 5: My question is what year was Opie born in versus

87
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 5: her sister?

88
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,559
Speaker 1: Oh? What's her sister? Like the year of the dragon

89
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: or something.

90
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a dragon, nice dude.

91
00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: So I'm a rat.

92
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: I don't I know what I am.

93
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: I could be totally wrong.

94
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 5: You're born the same year.

95
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: No, nineteen ninety six and nineteen ninety seven.

96
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 3: Damn, I'm sorry, but okay, So, and are you specifically asking, uh,

97
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: is the sister.

98
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: Being unfair or is like the No, do you think

99
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 2: elders of the family, Oh.

100
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: P is being treated unfairly?

101
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 2: Yes?

102
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean just like pure dollars and cents, she's

103
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 3: getting like twelve percent of this company, a lot more

104
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 3: like money, gold, other gifts like pound for pound, dollar

105
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: for dollar. The sister is getting more. She is being

106
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 3: treated unfairly.

107
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I guess, like I guess the family is like, oh,

108
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: she is just better in every way and that's why

Speaker 1: It's cute. No, it's sexy.

113
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 3: See Like I would rather be a mouse, like at

114
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: least a mouse. It looks that looks like a cute

115
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 3: little mouse.

116
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 5: Who killed the most people in the world. Rats with

117
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 5: the bubonic plug, Buddy.

118
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to kill people but you did for

119
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: context in order for me to receive extra money from

120
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: my school. I started working at the company. I learned

121
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: everything that I needed to learn. I started projects that

122
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: benefited the company. I did everything to boost the sales,

123
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: Yet all my efforts were not rewarded. Instead, they gave

124
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: Emma the rewards I deserved. I saw red that day,

125
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: and not the good kind of red that you get

126
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: one of those pockets exactly. I lashed out at everyone,

127
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: questioning why I didn't receive the shares, that it was

128
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: not fair and Emma didn't deserve the shares, all right,

129
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: two o piece credit. I think this is bad, right,

130
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: this is like super mean. But it's like Papa, I

131
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: want the company. My sister doesn't deserve it.

132
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 2: It does it like sounds bad.

133
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 3: It sounds bad, but in actuality like and to the

134
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 3: best of our knowledge, maybe the sister doesn't work there

135
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 3: at all.

136
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: It sounds like OPI has been there putting it in

137
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 2: the work.

138
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 5: Yeah. It's like if they gave me the rights to

139
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 5: the saw mill and didn't give my brother anything.

140
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be no, no, it would be like

141
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: it would be like giving your younger brother the rights

142
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: to the saw mill. And you nothing, but and me

143
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: working at the saw mill and you were working. It

144
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: would be like you working at the sawmill for as

145
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: long as you did, and then your kid brothers getting

146
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: not even take your kid brothers. Do the kid brothers nothing?

147
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: Oh that would suck, right, Not the kid brothers, not

148
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: the kid brothers. Yeah, kid brother uncle, dad, the kid dad.

149
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: My emotional outburst was met with criticism. My father got

150
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: up wow and slapped me. Oh my God, told me

151
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: I was an ungrateful child and screamed at me to

152
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: get out of his house. Jesus, what if conspiracy theory?

153
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: What if it was like, all right, Emma, you're getting

154
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: twelve percent and Op all your hard work, you're getting twenty.

155
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: But OP didn't let them finish.

156
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: That's true. No, no, no, I have a conspiracy on

157
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: top of your dircy.

158
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, throw it on top of me.

159
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 2: What if OP is in a fair baby?

160
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 4: Oh?

161
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: And the dad said I will raise her.

162
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 3: However, I am you know this the real daughter, that's

163
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 3: my real daughter, and I'm not going to give her

164
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 3: any special treatment.

165
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: And that was the deal.

166
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: That is such a good conspiracy theory. I'm on board.

167
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: I think that's real. I'm on.

168
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 3: I'm with that because it goes against all other logics,

169
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 3: like exactly because like in most cultures firstborn favoring the

170
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: firstborn or just or simply just give like getting the company,

171
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 3: that's like a classic thing to do for the firstborn.

172
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I'm kind of on board. Put I see

173
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: you in the comments if you think that's what's happening. Also,

174
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: by the way, I love.

175
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 5: This, Yeah, me too.

176
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: I love it.

177
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 5: I haven't seen while I know it's been.

178
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: It makes me very happy to be like like like

179
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 1: when you're saying something of it.

180
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 5: We we put a mirror so we could see each other.

181
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: By the way, guys, it's cute, beautiful.

182
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: So he's screamed to get out of my house, or

183
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: he screamed to get out of his house as he

184
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: does not want an ungrateful child to stay at his

185
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: house anymore. So I left. I didn't even pack, I

186
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: just left and drove off. So two years past and

187
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: I moved to another country. I didn't contact any of them,

188
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: nor did they contact me. Two years. Imagine you're you leaving,

189
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: your family doesn't even say a word. I didn't bother

190
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: to find out what happened after I left. All I

191
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 1: know is they basically disown me. It was ridiculous to

192
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: disown me just because I lashed out at them, which

193
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: is like even if you lash out, like if like

194
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: if a kid lashes out of their parents, you don't

195
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 1: just own no, not at all, like like like it's

196
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: just like this is unfair. And then leeve's like, yes,

197
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: maybe someone could see that as child.

198
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you don't just own the crime doesn't fit

199
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: the punishment. No, in the slightest super egregious no, super

200
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 3: gregious no.

201
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 1: Well, on February second, my father emailed me asking for

202
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: my attendants at Chinese New Year at their house. When

203
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: I read the email, I cried, Oh, but not for

204
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: the reason you think. Okay, there was nothing else, just

205
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: asking for my attendants, not even telling me they were sorry.

206
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: I had a mental breakdown that day, and he even

207
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: took two days leave at the company I currently work for.

208
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: I didn't respond, and now three weeks later I received

209
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: another email asking me to visit China to spend time

210
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: with them, even offering me to pay for my tickets

211
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: and allowance. I'm hesitant to reply. I want to go

212
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: back to China and spend time with my gongong I

213
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: guess that's like Grandma maybe Congong, that's kind of cool, Gongong.

214
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 2: I love that.

215
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: Should I go back?

216
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 3: So?

217
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 2: Should I go back?

218
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: And there are some edits and a thick update like

219
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: this is this story is far from over. There's there's

220
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: a lot of juicy twists and turns. With a lot

221
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: of juicy twist and turns. But before we get into

222
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: the relevant edits, the relevant comments, and the juicy thick update,

223
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: should Ope go back? So we've gotten two emails now

224
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: there has been no admission of any kind of wrongdoing

225
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: on Opie's.

226
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is really hard, Like I kind of don't

227
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: blame Ope.

228
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: I think there's been and we we kind of got

229
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 3: like a highlight reel of the history of their interactions.

230
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: But it sounds to me like the Opie has just

231
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: been treated terrible.

232
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: Their whole life.

233
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 3: Do you know how all they are right now? Twenty

234
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 3: six six, I mean twenty six years of being like

235
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: treated so unfairly and then this like ultimate moment of

236
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 3: your own dad slapping you in the face telling you

237
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 3: to get out, that you're disowned. Like I could totally

238
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 3: see Ope wanting to go no contact with them or

239
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 3: low contact or no contact with them.

240
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and to be clear, Emma is twenty four.

241
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 5: This is tres so she could be Chinese year because

242
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 5: I'm like twenty three, so it could be the Chinese

243
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 5: year thing.

244
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: Oh here, wait, wait really quick, twenty four if she

245
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: was born in two.

246
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: Thousand, like you two could be born in the same year.

247
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: I think, well, I think we'll get some more information

248
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: on that. But I see what your conspiracy theory is

249
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: is she was born in the year of the Dragon,

250
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: which is why she's getting all the special preferential treatment.

251
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: We don't know whether what year she's born yet. Yeah.

252
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 2: I think you always asked me, like, what would I do?

253
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: I think I would go back.

254
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: However, I really don't blame op for not yea, but

255
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 3: I think they've shown their character.

256
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 5: Her reaction to the email having a mental breakdown. Yeah, yeah, no,

257
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 5: that's another thing to consider.

258
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Riley is completely right because, like I can

259
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: only imagine going going into this Chinese New Year is

260
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: going to be a emotionally tumultuous If an email is

261
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: having her go into a mental breakdown, imagine what confronting

262
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: seeing them seeing them and from everything that we've seen,

263
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: they're not gonna treat her with respect.

264
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know they're not gonna say sorry, So maybe

265
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 3: you right back and you break down everything like this

266
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: is how you've treated me.

267
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: Uh.

268
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 3: The only way I would even begin to begin to

269
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 3: consider coming back is if you gave me a full

270
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 3: apology and you promised me like all this stuff. Then

271
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 3: if I feel you are having a true apology that

272
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 3: is sincere and will actually help mend our relationship, I

273
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: will consider coming back.

274
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: I think there needs to be a like FaceTime skype conversation, yeah,

275
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: face to face, over online face to face, Yeah, before

276
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: you go over, totally. The air needs to be clear.

277
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: Yes, thousands.

278
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: I think the apology should happen before four you even

279
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: go over. Absolutely absolutely, But again, this is not where

280
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: the story ends. That there's a lot of juice to squeeze.

281
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm ready, Sam, there's a lot

282
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: of this is.

283
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: Really interesting story. We're getting a lot of like interesting

284
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: cultural information. My family is very strict, so my emotional

285
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: outburst was seen as a defiance. One of the questions

286
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: from the commentaries, how do you know that they hated you?

287
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: Opie responds, My father fired me after I left and

288
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: banned me from stepping foot at the mansion. Damn, they're rich,

289
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: rich and the companies we owned. I was also not

290
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: allowed to visit any properties. Dan they rich rich and

291
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: they banned, banned and understand yet they can't step in

292
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: the foot foot in the mansion or any of the companies.

293
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: That's like, that's basically everywhere.

294
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: I would be like, what where does Opie even go?

295
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: Going to fly back?

296
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: They left? They left China? Yeah, or that? Yeah? Well

297
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: I think this is before, right, this is before when

298
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: they initially banned. My mother told her friends that she

299
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: wished she never gave birth to such a defiant child.

300
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: Cried at her words, because how could a mother wish

301
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: her child did not exist. My brother blocked me on

302
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: his social media account, but I saw his final post

303
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: before blocking me, and it said, do not contact my name.

304
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: She is not our family anymore, we have no more

305
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: ties with her. Posting about that essentially all of their

306
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: mutual friends and family to ostracize her. Emma was also

307
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: mad because she thinks I looked down at her. My

308
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: aunts and uncles and cousins decided to not talk to me.

309
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: So basically I was completely excommunicated. And there is a

310
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: little minor update before we get into the big update.

311
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: I responded to the email and sent them the following

312
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: question and message, why did you contact me? What is

313
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: your purpose for contacting How are you and the family?

314
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: That's all I asked. I will give an update if

315
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: they contact me again. We have another edit with a

316
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: little mini update. My father responded to my email saying

317
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: he contacted me because he missed me and he was

318
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: apologetic for how he treated me and wanted to reconcile well.

319
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: I sent another email with a link to a video

320
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: call and told them to call me at two pm

321
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: Chinese time. In the call where my mother, father brother,

322
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: Emma good point, I'm allergic to this story, and my

323
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: grandparents from the paternal side. We gave each other basic

324
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: greetings and talked about what was happening in China in

325
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: my life here. But I got tired of small talk,

326
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: so I started asking why my efforts were never rewarded

327
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: and why they were always strict with me, and I

328
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: got an answer. In our culture, being born in the

329
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: year of the Dragon was a lucky thing. Woo whoa

330
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: no no, shut Yeah, you got it, Riley.

331
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 5: Riley called it.

332
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: It means you will be blessed and always dominate whatever

333
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: field you work in.

334
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're the dragons where you are.

335
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: Emma was born in the year two thousand, so that's

336
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: why my paternal family saw it as an auspicious blessing

337
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: and decided Emma should be around the company more as

338
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: she may bring more blessings. It basically explained why she

339
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: always receives twelve items, why while I only get what

340
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: they give me.

341
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 5: Twelve because the year is like every twelve years at research.

342
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: Also just saying since Riley came on, we've been company

343
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: has been doing well.

344
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 2: We've been blessed. Yeah, been blessed. We've been blessed.

345
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: We are blessed with Riley's dragon presidence.

346
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:26,479
Speaker 2: That's right.

347
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: I never fully hated Emma, but I admit there is

348
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: a feeling that will sometimes arise when I feel that

349
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: they prioritize her over me. As for me, it was

350
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: not planned back then. My parents only wanted a single child,

351
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: a boy. I was born three years after my brother,

352
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: and although they cared for me, my parents had a

353
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: hard time loving me as they saw me as the

354
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: extra child. I asked them why they had Emma, and

355
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: they answered that Emma was going to bring blessings to

356
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: her family. They wanted a baby in the Year of

357
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: the Dragon, and I broke down and screamed that it

358
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: was not fair that I was their child too, which.

359
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, a billion.

360
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: This story is about to get even juicier. But you

361
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: know what's red and juicy. What that subscribe button? We

362
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: should ate it up and smash it. Smash that subscribe

363
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: or follow button if you're on Facebook, thank you. My

364
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: mother and father broke down, saying they were sorry and

365
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: if they could turn back time, they would love me more.

366
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: They said it broke their hearts to see one of

367
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: their children grow without them overseeing my progress. They regretted

368
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: not being at my piano recital and not being there

369
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: when I graduated from high school. I cried, saying it's

370
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: not fair that I didn't get a happy childhood, and

371
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: basically at that point everyone started crying. I asked why

372
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: they did not reward my efforts at the company, and

373
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: my grandfather admitted that his views were outdated and he

374
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: did not want me to get any position at the company,

375
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: but he apologized, saying he broke my heart with his

376
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: actions and told me if I moved back, they would

377
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: give me the position of director. Oh, I know what

378
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: you're thinking. The company is going downhill. That's why they

379
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: want me back. But note the company is still strong

380
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: and provides a stable income. The call lasted for one

381
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: hour and basically we talked about the family, how my

382
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: life here is, and even that I went to a

383
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift concert at Australia. My parents was happy that

384
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: I was happy, so they offered to buy me four

385
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: tickets at a Taylor concert in Singapore.

386
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 5: That's a big one. Singapore is a big one because.

387
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: Of the super tickets.

388
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 3: That's crazy. Do you know how expensive that is? I

Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the VIP book up.

394
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: Look up Taylor Swift. Like what what did what did

395
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 1: what do Taylor Swift concerts in Singapore cost for four tickets?

396
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 2: Was it Singapore? Japan?

397
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 5: They were offering the Singapore ones eighteen hundred?

Speaker 1: and to come visit him in Shanghai. She even told

409
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: could I just forgive them like that? But honestly I

410
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: missed my family right, especially Gongong. So I'll be flying

411

Speaker 1: back at the end of February, so I'll give an

412
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: update once I get back. Wow, And there is an

413
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: update April.

414
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 2: Ten, four recent days ago, recent, mere days ago.

415
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: Recent. But before we get into that update, yes, I

416
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: do have some relevant comments, but I would love to

417
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: know in the comments, how do you think it's going

418
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: to go when she goes back to China? And I

419
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: wonder what what do you all think?

420
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 2: What's your predictions?

421
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 3: I I mean, I am definitely feeling that the family's

422
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 3: on the right track and if they continue this like

423
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 3: in this lane, that it could be great.

424
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: However, I am skeptical. I'm also like, what made the change?

425
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 5: Yeah?

426
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 2: Where did this change come from?

427
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: Right?

428
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 2: I mean to me, there's like almost no context to it.

429
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: I think it's extremely important to know what the reason

430
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: for the change. Yeah. I think it's extremely important because

431
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: is this change coming out of a.

432
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 5: Need a scarcity mindset?

433
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: Yeah?

434
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 2: Is it?

435
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,959
Speaker 1: Is it coming out of a scarcity mindset or an

436
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: actual desire to reconnect? Is it coming from Oh, Emma

437
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: actually doesn't want to run the company, so we need

438
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: someone to step in and that's why we want you back. Yeah?

439
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: Or is it coming from we realized what we did

440
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: is like, is actually wrong? I and how like? How

441
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: after two years did they finally realize it?

442
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 3: Like?

443
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 2: What click?

444
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: I want to I want to know what the journey was.

445
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I really want to know what Emma thinks

446
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 5: about this because the grandfather this was an very old

447
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 5: traditional mindset. How does them feel like, Oh, you only

448
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 5: favored me because I was the year I was in Also.

449
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: It was a unanimous decision of the family to excommunicate op.

450
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 3: And to bring her back. Because so most people are

451
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: on the call, what's the deal, what's the deal?

452
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: What's the deal?

453
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 5: Do they know what unanimous is because they don't live

454
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 5: in a democracy.

455
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Every decision in China is unanimous?

456
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, because one person says so, and everyone has to

457
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 5: follow it.

458
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, they.

459
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 5: Making the decision. It's a grandpa and they're like, Okay,

Speaker 5: what did you say, Grandpa?

461
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: Oh? I wonder if it is like the patriarch of

Speaker 1: the family is making all the call like the calls.

00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:43,240

474
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: from the family. I'd guess that they want something from

475
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: you that only you can provide related to finances, medical

476
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: slash health, and perhaps something else. These people have already

477
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 1: shown you who they are and nothing has changed. If

478
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: they want to see you, then they can come to

479
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: visit or agree to a neutral location. If you're curious

480
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: but want to protect yourself, suggest a virtual meetup. They'll

481
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: make it happen if they want it badly enough. Yeah.

482
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: Is there something that maybe they're trying to like trap

483
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: her in China?

484
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 5: You know?

485
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: Is there something weird going? Yeah? I feel like or okay,

486
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: this is a big conspiracy theory and how I met

487
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: your mother. Barney Stinson has like this job, and his

488
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: job is basically to sign all the papers of like

489
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: the illegal doings of this company and essentially be the

490
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: fall guy if the company is like like illegal actions

491
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: ever catch up to it. Are they trying to put

492
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: her in place so she is taking responsibility for any

493
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: shifty behavior that the company has engaged in.

494
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, is this like a fall guy?

495
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 3: I feel like it's some I feel like it could

496
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 3: have something to do with the company and they need

497
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 3: OP to be the fall person, that the worker be

498
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 3: like something along those lines, Like they need to essentially

499
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 3: use OP for something for the family's benefit.

500
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that could.

501
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: I can't imagine OP is not being used.

502
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

503
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: I also think I just think it's risky to go

504
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: back to China. Yeah without understanding fully everything.

505
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, something just doesn't feel right now. We don't know

506
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 2: all the information.

507
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: But let's get back to reality and get to this

508
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: update after one more comment. Old Meal says, do not

509
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: go back. They want something for you. You have moved

510
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: on from that life, so stay move for your own sake.

511
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: And Queen Leglas says, don't go back. They'll probably want

512
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: something from you, possibly an organ. That's crazy. Rue Emma

513
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: can't have kids and wants you to be a surrogate.

514
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: So one is l and they need you to be

515
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: a living made It could be anything, block them all.

516
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: None of them deserve you. Don't tell them where you are,

517
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: what you do. Nothing. Could be someone who is terminally

518
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: ill and they expect you to forgive them and then

519
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: will emotionally blackmail you.

520
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, I want to know what's happening.

521
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: And there is an update. Oh my gosh, I didn't

522
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: even think about the organ thing.

523
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, gosh.

524
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: The black market organ trade in China is like money's up.

525
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: Money's up, dude. D You can sell a kidney for like.

526
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 5: And you get somebody you have too one hundred extra

527
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty ca al go long ways.

528
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: That's true.

529
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 2: But we got healthy.

530
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 5: We're pretty healthy boys.

531
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: Healthy boys.

532
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: We could do it.

533
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: Raley doesn't drink. His kidneys are great, dude, that's one

534
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: hundred k. Yeah, that's one hundred k kiddy right there. Kidney. Also,

535
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: I just realized we're talking about kidneys, not livers. Yeah,

536
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: I know, I know.

537
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 2: How many kidneys do we have?

538
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: Wait? We could?

539
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 5: So we're off for kidney.

540
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: We still have two kidneys.

541
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 5: Well, I thought we could like cut off a little

542
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 5: bit of kidney, give it to someone. That's what you

543
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 5: did with living.

544
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: You could do it with livers.

545
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

546
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 1: You might be able to do with kidneys too.

547
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,239
Speaker 5: No, we have two kidneys. That's what I was doing.

548
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: We have two kidneys. But I think you can you

549
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: cut off half a kidney.

550
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 5: Oh but you mean about alcohol thing with kidney?

551
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, it doesn't It doesn't have an effect.

552
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: I actually don't know.

553
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 2: Let us know the comments.

554
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: We're not doctors, but we are Reddit story readers. This

555
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: update do our thing. Hello everyone, thank you for patiently

556
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: waiting for an update. Here is what happened. I met

557
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: with my family at a hotel in Guangzhou and we

558
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: had a heartfelt talk. I tried not to speak with

559
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: my parents and siblings, but they kept asking me things

560
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: about my life abroad and what I work. As my

561
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: aunt may have seen my discomfort, so she told them

562
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: to let me eat first. I admit it was quite awkward,

563
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: since to me the pain of rejection and betrayal is

564
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: still fresh. Well, when we were done eating, we started

565
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: having a conversation. My aunt encouraged me to speak my

566
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: heart out and tell me all the wrongdoings that were

567
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: done to me. After I was done, I was tearing up,

568
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: and luckily we were in a private room. So I

569
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: ried my heart out that night, and my cousins comforted

570
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: me and fed me mooncakes.

571
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 5: Ye, the same cousins that excommunicated you. Yeah.

572
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: Ops, then that I did with all of us crying. Overall,

573
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: we had a slight reconciliation emphasis and slant. They asked

574
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: if I wanted to go back home, but I declined,

575
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: saying I had a plan to catch up to They

576
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: were shocked, thinking I'm already going back abroad, but I

577
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: said I was going to visit Gongong. My mother told

578
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: me to postpone the flight so our entire family could

579
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: visit Gongong. I agreed, so I canceled my flight. I

580
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: booked a hotel as I didn't want to be back

581
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: in the place where I was humiliated and betrayed. I

582
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: spent my remaining time with Gongong, which was two weeks.

583
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: But during our tea, he gave me a folder and

584
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: told me to open it, and I got the surprise

585
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: of my life. What do you think the surprise is, Riley?

586
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: What do you think?

587
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 4: Uh?

588
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 5: Probably something to do with the company stuff like twenty

589
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 5: or given emmachare emma share.

590
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: It was a legal document that contains half of the

591
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: company my Gong Goong owned. He told me that life

592
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: keeps screwing me over. It's not accurate, but it's what

593
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: I interpreted as he told me, I deserve all the

594
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: success I achieved and he is giving me full control

595
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: over the company he owns once he passes or when

596
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm ready. I cried, and my family was happy for me,

597
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: and overall I finally felt that I'm needed and appreciated. Wow. Anyways,

598
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: the entire trip was too long for me to share

599
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: everything that happened, so I'm only writing the important events.

600
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: Thank you all for your support and kind messages. It

601
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: helped to see the bigger picture and guide me to

602
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: the right path. And there are some final relevant comments

603
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: and some edits, but really quick, what do we think

604
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: about Gong Gong giving OP full control over this company.

605
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: Like I'm happy that OP is getting these things and

606
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: hearing these affirmations like you deserve everything from your hard work.

607
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 2: I'm still like, why, what's happened?

608
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: What's changed?

609
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 2: What's changed?

610
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: What's changed? That's what I want to know, because like

611
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: what if opis the fall guy? Yeah, like you give

612
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: control of a company so that OP can be put

613
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: in jail for the company's misdoings. Yeah, that's what I

614
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: think is going to happen. They're like they're like about

615
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: to be sued by whatever, like the equivalent forget forget

616
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: sued freaking like jijen Ping, well, like he did what

617
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: jijen Ping just imprisoned jack Ma. Yeah, jack Ma wasn't

618
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: seen for jack Ma as like one of the richest

619
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: people in China was abducted and not seen for months

620
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: because he got too powerful, and jijen Ping wanted to

621
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: do like a show of force. Apparently apparently like China,

622
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: they'll just imprison you.

623
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 4: Wow.

624
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, like insane smoke might be coming for OP and

625
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, well now that you are like.

626
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: Legally the front face, Yeah, take the smoke. That's what

627
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: I think, but but you know, it would.

628
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 2: Be so crazy.

629
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 3: It would be even more sinister and cruel, given that

630
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 3: they were all like comforting her, like I don't think

631
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 3: it said they were crying with her, but like they were,

632
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 3: they were crying with her, Like they would have to

633
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 3: kind of like bake that in a way to get

634
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 3: her to do this, which is even more freaking evil.

635
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like would they actually do that.

636
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 2: I'm not saying your theory is wrong, but but it

637
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: could be that they.

638
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: Are actually sad about it, but they're like, hey, this

639
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: is what we need to do. Like what if they

640
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: are sad they they're crying because oh we're throwing our

641
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: sister under the bus again.

642
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 2: They feel guilty, but they're doing it anyway.

643
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: They're doing it anyway. WHOA I want to know in

644
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: the comments what y'all think, and also if you know

645
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: anyone in like a traditional family like this, like how

646
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: does it play out? But there are some edits where

647
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: you get a little bit more contact. So edit, Hello everyone,

648
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: thank you for your comments. But I would like to

649
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: clarify one thing. My Gonggong is the only one who

650
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: supported me these past two years, so I assure you

651
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: there's nothing suspicious with this actions, so that's a little

652
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: bit better. So Gongong maybe isn't pulling the strength.

653
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 5: So Gongong didn't so her to leave in Banish.

654
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: No, it seems like Gongong was supporting her throughout this

655
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: entire time while she was separated from the family. Wow

656
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: oh p on the Taylor Swift tickets. The Taylor Swift

657
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: tickets they were offering in Singapore which I did not attend.

658
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: And yes, my paternal side has multiple homes. However, my

659
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: paternal grandparents live in Guangzhou while my paternal family lives

660
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: in Shanghai. And top comments bhv Niet says, I smell

661
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: a rats. There is something going on with the business

662
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: or company that you are not aware of. I cannot

663
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: believe that in just two years your whole family had

664
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: a change of heart after going to the extent of

665
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: disowning you. Nah, I think you need to find out

666
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: what is actually happening in your company. What has prompted

667
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: them to give you ownership of half the company. To me,

668
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: it seems like a trap, which is what we've been saying.

669
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: Trick Delivery for six zero nine has a final comment.

670
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: I am worried about you. Either the family knows you

671
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: were inheriting half slash all the business and that's why

672
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: they're being nice all of a sudden, or worse, you're

673
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: being given a bad business with a lot of debts.

674
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: Check in with a lawyer or private investigator. Take everything

675
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: they say with a grain of salt. I would agree,

676
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: tread lightly Op.

677
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 5: She has a another subreddit and ask a lawyer or

678
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 5: legal advice? Can I hire a lawyer to represent me

679
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 5: in China if I'm currently living in another country. Oh

680
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 5: so like their user name, They're like, they just posted

681
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 5: about that.

682
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: Wow?

683
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: When did they post eight days ago? Wow? This is

684
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: like happening in real time.

685
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 5: Yeah.

686
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: Did OP respond to any of those?

687
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 5: I think?

688
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: No, you can look at OP responded, you could filtered

689
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: by OPI responded, I believe if you look at like news.

690
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm looking at it right now. She has another post,

691
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 5: am I they ale for not giving up my spot

692
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 5: in a Taylor Swift concert, But no she didn't. She

693
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 5: has a respond to any of the legal stuff.

694
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: Yet. It seems like we might be able to get

695
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: an update on this soon.

696
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 3: I would be excited. This was This is an incredible story.

697
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think what I like about this is we

698
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: read a lot of stories from like America onlike family dynamics,

699
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: and I think this is giving like an insight one

700
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: to a family that is uber wealthy. Yeah, and so

701
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: the dynamics of familial relationships change when a lot of

702
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: money and power is involved. And two, we're looking at

703
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: what it looks like to be imbued with a lot

704
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: of cultural restriction and a lot of like heritage and

705
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: history and honor and all these things that can make

706
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: familial dynamics stressed and complex. And like Op is caught

707
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,239
Speaker 1: in the middle of one of these things and it's

708
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: kind of I mean, it's sad for Op, but incredibly

709
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: interesting to the voyeur into.

710
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 2: And is this the end of the story?

711
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: So far? End of the story? Wow? So far? So

712
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: we don't know is Op going to accept? Is Op

713
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: going to go to China and go back and take

714
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: over the company? There's so much that is left up

715
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: in the air.

716
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 3: I've never felt a seemingly on the surface happy ending

717
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 3: and been so uncertain.

718
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

719
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 5: My thing, though she's doing good for herself, she's able

720
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 5: to get tickets to a Taylor Swift concert in Australia

721
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 5: at twenty six.

722
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, she's probably I mean she's probably killed.

723
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, she probably whatever her position was at the company,

724
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 3: she's probably making bank doing it for whatever company wherever

725
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 3: she's at right now.

726
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: Also, I have a suspicion that like when she says allowance,

727
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: it's like fifty K a month. Yeah, it's like something

728
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: like ridiculous. Yeah, cause it's like it's multiple companies, multiple properties,

729
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: well known family in China. If you're a well known

730
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,919
Speaker 1: family in China, you're you have money. Yeah.

731
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 3: Money. It was that versus like, oh, she's just being

732
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 3: given it. But they're like, oh, go like clean your

733
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 3: room and then we'll give it to you or.

734
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah, and it's like okay, we'll clean your

735
00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: room and then we'll give you fifty K.

736
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 2: I'll clean for a thousand dollars.

737
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: I honestly think that that is that is on the

738
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: scale of the money she's give even as a child. Yeah, dude, okay, Okay,

739
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: story time. So I was going to open up an

740
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 1: English school in China when I was like a junior

741
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: year of college, and so I taught in Hung Joe

742
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: for a little bit and the kids were total little

743
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: brats but were given everything the amount of money these

744
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: kids spent in a week and they were like twelve

745
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: and thirteen was thousands of dollars have not tens of

746
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars. And they're like one of the well

747
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: known families in China, so they're like hanging out with

748
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: like all of the politicians and the gangsters in China,

749
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: like had a fundraiser with like Yao Ming, so like

750
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: they were they were super centralized. But the amount of

751
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: money that they gave these kids was obscene.

752
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 3: And it's a case of like they're not maybe not

753
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 3: like well, maybe they are writing out a check, but

754
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 3: it's just like they just have like their parents' credit

755
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 3: card basically and are going yeah easy and buying stuff.

756
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 5: Yeah I mean.

757
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: And like my my uh an ex's mom that was

758
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: the assistant to a Saudi Arabian prince and they my

759
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: ex would hang out with prince's daughters and they would

760
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: go to Rodeo Drive and just like drop eighty K

761
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: in a purse and they would be like, oh, wait,

762
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: do you want anything? Why don't you get something? And

763
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: she was like she was wealthy, but she's like I

764
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: don't have eighty K to drop on a purse.

765
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 2: Right now. Yeah, you know.

766
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: So it's like when you get to a certain level

767
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: of wealth, you have just an obscene amount of disposable

768
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: income that to the point where you are completely blind

769
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: to the fact that people don't have that money.

770
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolute And.

771
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 5: Sae, wait what is this backstore you just told? Yeah?

772
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 3: Actually that was two of the most insane like okue

773
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 3: story times.

774
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 1: Of all time.

775
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 5: You just I thought, you just like got this out

776
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 5: of There's no way he had no dude, you taught

777
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 5: kids like that?

778
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: What and hung Joey? They so when I was when

779
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: we were teaching, we did such a good job that

780
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,439
Speaker 1: they wanted us to move to China for five years

781
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: to open up English school for the Chinese elite, and

782
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: we're going to fund it. But the thing is like

783
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: when you open up a business in China, a Chinese

784
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: person has to own the majority of the company, so

785
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: you actually don't have control of the business. And we

786
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: were fearful that if we opened up this school we

787
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,440

Speaker 1: the Peace Corps. She actually she actually applied to do

818
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: Peace Corps but COVID messed it up. Oh wow, so

819
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: she was gonna do it. She had been accepted and

820
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: then COVID cancel this.

821
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 2: Now she has no.

Speaker 5: Wow, but look at you now, was fifty year old.

824
00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 3: That is like such a completely alternate sand timeline bro

825
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 3: the Sam, the multiple universe.

826
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 4: What is it, uh?

827
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 5: Multi divisions?

828
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: The multiverse?

829
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, the multiverse of Sam becoming the teacher in running this,

830
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 3: like teaching business in China is a crazy different timeline man,

831
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 3: even crazy different.

832
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:19,759

00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: that was probably garbage.

838
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 5: I'm speechless. I'm so well.

839
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,960

Speaker 3: me speaking this next story to your face.

841
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: All, let's get it.

842
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 3: Am I being disrespectful by telling my parents good luck

00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 3: Silicon Valley at seventeen and meeting other seventeen year olds

870
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 3: who had raised a million dollars.

871
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 2: From like soup, like billionaires, and that completely broke my

00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: brain in it. Yeah yeah, wow, crazy stuff.

873
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,879

875
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: sixteen or seventeen or something little or high. Uh probably low.

876
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: Still still still freddy. I had ten bucks at sixteen.

877
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: I was like.

878
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 2: Riche oh man, not university.

879
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 3: I got a scholarship, and the rent May charged me

880
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 3: was minor at three hundred bucks a month. OP is winning,

881
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 3: OPI is winning. But I basically considered my room to

882
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 3: be completely mine. After that, I kept it tidy.

883
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: I like it that way.

884
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 3: But they had no say in when I cleaned it.

885
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 3: Oh I, Oh, so this is Opee talking about his

886
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 3: room at their house. Still, when I did my laundry,

887
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 3: other than not to do it at a time when

888
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 3: I would disturb the family. For example, at three am,

889
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 3: I bought myself food and I ate what I wanted.

890
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 3: They tried to say I was separating myself from the family,

891
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 3: but I saw it more as having my own schedule.

892
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 5: Brightly, like the care to explained, I got money on

893
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 5: my mind. That is, I can't even thinking about hanging

894
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 5: out with you. Yeah, I got fat stacks of here.

895
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 5: What were you doing at sixteen? Exactly?

896
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 2: I got a schedule, dude, that's true.

00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 5: Speaking of caledvites. Sorry, Sam, I have an okay storytelling

899
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,439
Speaker 5: about Sam in a calendar invite. I'll make it quick, okay, okay,

900
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 5: Sophia asked, Hey, Sam, when can we go on a hike?

901
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 5: He said, how does May first sound? It is currently

00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 5: April eighteenth. Okay, sorry, it's April eighteenth. He told sister

904
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:57,439
Speaker 5: he could hang out with her until May.

905
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: First, go on a hike, for a morning hike. I

00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: have a thing every morning.

907
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 5: See, he has a schedule. I was sitting at for family.

908
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: I would I hang out with Sophia every day. We

00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: went to the park, we went, we went to the

00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: beach yesterday or two days ago.

00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 5: probably gonna say something in May, and he did.

913
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 2: I mean first.

914
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 1: To be fair, I said, April twenty ninth or May first?

915
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,720
Speaker 2: Yes, two options?

916
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 5: Okay?

917
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: Oh man, yeah, no I do. I sent the girl

918
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: that I'm seeing a calendar invite to hang out.

919
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 2: What do you think about? Uh?

920
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: Weird?

Speaker 1: Ah yeah, dude, it's great, it's great. I don't know.

923
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't have to keep track of anything.

924
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 2: It is a better way to live life. I won't

925
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 2: agree to that.

926
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 3: This year for spring break, I went to Mexico, with

927
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 3: my friends again, just balling. My parents were upset sixteen

928
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 3: at sixteen. My parents were upset because they were hosting.

929
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: Is he actually still sixteen? He started his business at sixteen.

930
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 2: Oh, sorry this year.

931
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 3: And we don't know how old Op is yet. I

932
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 3: want to say, but this was, like he said once

933
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 3: I started in high school. I gather we're a few

934
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 3: years out, probably, but we're not sure.

935
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: Probably sub twenty yeah, could totally be. Yes.

936
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 3: My parents were upset because they were hosting a big

937
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 3: Easter family get together. When I got back, they said

938
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 3: I was behaving badly by not being around for a

939
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 3: family gathering. I said it was my last spring break

940
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 3: in university. There you go, senior in university, and that

941
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 3: I was not responsible for their schedule.

942
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 2: Damn, dude, that's one way to say it.

943
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 3: They said I was grounded, and I laughed ha and

944
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 3: said good luck with that. I went to my room

945
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 3: and locked the door. They tried banging on it for

946
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 3: my attention, but I am done. My grandfather came over

947
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 3: to talk to me later. He is the one who

948
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 3: helps me get my company started, and he is always

949
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 3: there for me. He said that I was rude to

950
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 3: my parents when they were trying to be there for me.

951
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 3: I asked him how much rent he charged my mom

952
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 3: when she lived at home. He said it was ridiculous

953
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 3: to think that he would charge which his kids rent.

954
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 3: I told him that I had been paying rent for

955
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 3: four years, so three hundred dollars a month.

956
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:10,919
Speaker 1: Still still though, three dollars a month. So he's twenty now, yes,

957
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: or yeah, twenty twenty one, something like that. I mean,

958
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 1: all right, this is what I actually kind of agree

959
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: with him a little bit. I don't think he's I mean,

960
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: maybe he's being a little bit the a hole. Yeah,

961
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: but if you're making that kind of money since sixteen,

962
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: nobody can tell you nothing. Yeah, you know, like like

963
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: he's he's like a little he's a little cocky, right,

964
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: which which you know, the air the error of youth.

965
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 1: But yes, to be fair to him, he's making his

966
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: own money. He is paying for rent in the house,

967
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: and he is like, has his own business, needs his

968
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: own schedule. I think making adult money, having adult responsibilities,

969
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,399
Speaker 1: and having adult freedom is the third thing.

970
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, it's well, it's it's a tricky thing because

971
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 3: it's like, obviously you want to spend time with your

972
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 3: with your family, this is the I mean, he.

973
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: Doesn't want to.

974
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 2: He doesn't want.

975
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 1: I think he might be a but adult freedom. He's

976
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: an adult. He might be a but he's entitled to

977
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: being he's he Yes, yes, every adult is entitled to

978
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: be a yeah, every every adult. Yes, yea. Every adult

979
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: is entitled to be.

980
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 5: The second again, the second, the parents were like, you

981
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 5: have to pay rent. I do think he earned adult

982
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 5: freedom so he could. He doesn't have to do all

983
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 5: great stuff. Then say he's twenty.

984
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. Man, So he went into the house and I

985
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 2: heard a fight. When he came out.

986
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 3: He said that I needed to treat my parents with

987
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 3: more respect. But since they are my landlords, they do

988
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 3: not have a say over how I spend my time.

989
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 3: That I think is a very statement.

990
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: You should always treat like you should always treat people

991
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: with respect. But like he, he can be if he

992
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: wants to.

993
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they can't like force you to do something you are.

994
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 3: You are independent, and they think it is still a

995
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 3: bad thing. Yes, exactly. I'm avoiding my parents for now,

996
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 3: and I'm renting on air B and B right now

997
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 3: until I graduate.

998
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 2: Faller, dude, Baller.

999
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 3: I took everything that was important to me and I

1000
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 3: left six hundred dollars for the last two months. I

1001
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 3: had planned on being wow, classy, just breaded. They keep

1002
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 3: calling me, but I am currently getting ready to move

1003
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 3: for my new job. I don't have the energy to

1004
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 3: deal with them. Hung White Boy twenty five says, wow.

1005
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wrote that.

1006
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, Yeah, there's only one thing, well only one

1007
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 3: lion there, Riley's only twenty three. Yeah, so they tried

1008
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 3: to ground a grown adult who pays their own bills

1009
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 3: and works full time. Yeah, you're not the ahole by

1010
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 3: a long shot. Why don't you just moved out? Legit,

1011
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 3: don't see a reason for you to be there. And

1012
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 3: then Op says.

1013
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 2: Bent was cheap, bro frugal, So so baller ladies and gentlemen.

1014
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 1: I agree with that comment.

1015
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 5: What about what about the comment right here? I don't

1016
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 5: have the energy to deal with them. I mean, he's

1017
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 5: given young money right there.

1018
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:06,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a little brat.

1019
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: He's he is being disrespectful and pro and not the

1020
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:17,479
Speaker 1: kindest to his parents. But he is right, you don't

1021
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: like you can't control me.

1022
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 3: Also, I wonder, just like from a practical parenting perspective, them.

1023
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 2: Being like, oh, you're grounded, and like, oh, No, you

1024
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 2: can't do this, Like, is that really the way you're

1025
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 2: going to get your son like back on the right act?

1026
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: You know. Bro sounds like he's on the right track though.

1027
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 3: Like like financially, but I would as a parent, I

1028
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 3: would be worried that like.

1029
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 2: He kind of continues down this path and kind of

1030
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 2: becomes an as.

1031
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, he definitely is like trending towards the Instagram

1032
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: Lamborghini assholeness.

1033
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 3: Exactly right, and like I do, I would love. I

1034
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 3: think I secretly do want my children to do what

1035
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 3: I did and like leave home early and do all

1036
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:04,760
Speaker 3: that stuff.

1037
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 2: But I don't want them.

1038
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: John's just gonna be like, see.

1039
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 2: That's what Nim thinks.

1040
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 3: She's like, they're getting no inheritance, they're getting kicked out sixteen.

1041
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: They're not. They're not.

1042
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 6: But I was fed by the streets when I was sixteen.

1043
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:29,720
Speaker 6: The streets provide I cook rats and talk Robin because

1044
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 6: I am.

1045
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: You're the reg baby.

1046
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what what what should be the parenting move here?

1047
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah? It is tricky. I mean like you yeah, you

1048
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: can't say you're grounded. Yeah, I think you just I

1049
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 1: think the parenting move is to talk to op as

1050
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: an adult in the same way as if one of

1051
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: your adult friends or family members disrespected you, Yeah, you'd

1052
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: be like, hey, I felt disrespected here. You are an adult, now,

1053
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: you have a the responsibilities. But I want there to

1054
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: be respect in this relationship, not necessarily just because we're

1055
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 1: your parents, but because we are. I think this is

1056
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: how you should treat all the people that are important

1057
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: to you and in your life, because if you keep

1058
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,919
Speaker 1: acting this way, you may be rich, but you're gonna

1059
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 1: be really lonely, you know. And like, like, if if

1060
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 1: you want to have a full life, it's not just

1061
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: about money, it's about the relationships that you have with

1062
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 1: your family and your friends and your loved ones. And like,

1063
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: maybe you're not going to understand this lesson right now,

1064
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: and that's okay, but just know that when you are

1065
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: ready to have a respectful relationship with us, we're going

1066
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: to be here.

1067
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 3: I think I've just developed an entirely new fear of

1068
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 3: not having a because my fear is always like having

1069
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 3: a kid spoiled from like your money, but then raising

1070
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 3: a kid who's spoiled and an ass.

1071
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 2: From their own money. It's kind of a dream though, dude,

1072
00:50:58,440 --> 00:50:59,959
Speaker 2: new new fear on your life.

1073
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: Oh god, Well, because you're gonna give them all the

1074
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: information they need. Yeah, like the.

1075
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 3: Dream scenarios, they become self sufficient, right like or like

1076
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,280
Speaker 3: they go after it and get it themselves.

1077
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1078
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 5: The thing I learned from this was if I have

1079
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 5: a kid and they don't clean or want to do

1080
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 5: anything like that, I'll be like, all right, you can

1081
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 5: pay rent and then you are free of not doing

1082
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:21,720
Speaker 5: any of that stuff.

1083
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: It's kind of sick.

1084
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:23,959
Speaker 2: I think I like that option.

1085
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:25,879
Speaker 1: Kind of like that. Yeah, if you're working, if you're

1086
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: working doing other stuff, yeah, totally. Yeah, like you don't

1087
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: have to do chores if you're paying. Yeah. What did

1088
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: you guys hear first?

1089
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 5: Fourteen? Yeah? Ten, like doing like firewood.

1090
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, like little like little odd jobs like I would.

1091
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:43,240
Speaker 2: I would go around.

1092
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 3: We had like an annual like big neighborhoods yard sale,

1093
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 3: and I would like go around like coffee and doughnuts

1094
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 3: and stuff. But like actual job. I was sixteen working

1095
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 3: as a day camp counselor.

1096
00:51:53,920 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 5: Well sixteen two years earlier. Fourteen what because we can't

1097
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 5: we can't say I was. I feel like I'll get

1098
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 5: them in trouble. But you're supposed to work there at sixteen, No,

1099
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 5: it was.

1100
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,240
Speaker 2: It was okay, it was legal to work at sixteen.
