1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: I'm mad because I robbed my brother of his full inheritance.

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: He sued, and you won't believe the court results.

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: I like this Reddit version of robin Hood. You know,

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 2: take from your brother, give to yourself.

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly what Robin Hood did.

6
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: Hey, we love Robin and we love a love like

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 2: we love a robin Hood story.

8
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 3: You know, there we go. It really lightens our heart

9
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 3: over here.

10
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: Robin Hood for self. Baby, Hey, I'm trying to do

11
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: that for me. I'm about it.

12
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 3: Hey, broll take yours, bam.

13
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: That's right, all right, Let's let's see what Op's got

14
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: for us. My brother Ben thirty five is spoiled, rotten

15
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: like a filthy apple. Mom favored him over us girls.

16
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: He always got what he wanted or even through tantrums,

17
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: even at my sister's funeral. She was sixteen. Ben was

18
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: fourteen and I was eleven.

19
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: Okay, but honestly, like, I understand throwing a tantrum, but

20
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 2: everyone grieves differently, especially right right right fourteen. I can

21
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: understand not keeping your composure when you're fourteen and your

22
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: sister just died.

23
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: So so my dad has two brothers and one sister.

24
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: When my uncle was twenty two. He came out as gay.

25
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: My grandparents were shocked, but they loved and accepted him

26
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: for who he was. My dad married my mom and

27
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: with my uncle, they did lots together.

28
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: It's interesting, okay, yeah, yeah, see whatever I hear read

29
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: it story and they say my dad and my uncle

30
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: did lots together. I feel like I'm being set up for,

31
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: you know, like a hub recommendation right here now.

32
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: To us, he was the fun uncle. My aunt and

33
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: other uncle married their partners, but they were always critical

34
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: of my gay uncle because of his life choices.

35
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: Dude, gay fun uncle sounds sick. Honestly, gay fun uncle

36
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: was like, that is top tier. That is top tier

37
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: uncle right there in my book.

38
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: Now, my grandparents held the family together, but in twenty sixteen,

39
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: they both passed away within nine months of each other.

40
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: That's true love, passing away nine months after your significant

41
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: other passeswa.

42
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: I literally read this and I thought it was me

43
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: because my grandparents passed away in twenty sixteen, not nine

44
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: months apart, but like literally it was literally like three weeks.

45
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: Like it was like so four less it was.

46
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: The longer you take to die after your significant out there,

47
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: the less you actually love them. If you're not dying

48
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: directly after your significant other, what.

49
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: Are you doing? Tye already geez, but okay, this is crazy.

50
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: After they passed away, my aunt and my other uncle

51
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 1: disowned my gay uncle, so they were literally just waiting

52
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: to disown them till after the grandparents died.

53
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: Oh dude, that's kind of whack, bro.

54
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: That is so oh my God, Like I already disagree

55
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: with not accepting a gay person, but also to like,

56
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, the grandparents die and then you turn.

57
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: Like yeah, it's like it just feels like you're not

58
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: like carrying on the grandparents' legacy, you're actively stomping on

59
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: it exactly.

60
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: My uncle was upset at this news, but he and

61
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: my dad have always been close, so we literally became

62
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: his only family. God, I just don't understand people. I

63
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: just I just don't understand. Then, in twenty nineteen, my

64
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: gay uncle was diagnosed with lung cancer. He rewrote his

65
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: will and he asked my brother to be the executor

66
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: because Dad wasn't coping with him being sick. My brother

67
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: Ben accepted it as he believed that my uncle would

68
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: split everything in his will between him and myself. So

69
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: brother Ben thought he was getting a hack.

70
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: In some cash, that sweet change.

71
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: Baby. My uncle ended up passing away in May of

72
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. My dad, my uncle's boyfriend, and I

73
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: were there with him. I called and messaged my brother repeatedly,

74
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: but he didn't even answer or come to say goodbye. Wow,

75
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: what is wrong with these people? Now? At the funeral,

76
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: my dad was a mess, but my brother was giddy, giddy,

77
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: like happy at fun I just don't even know what

78
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: to say anymore.

79
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: Maybe let's give him benefit of the doubt, John, holding

80
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: your anger for one second, all right, I just just

81
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: hold your anger. What if he's just celebrating that person's

82
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: life instead of mourning their dude?

83
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: You know, he's literally like I'm imagining him coming in

84
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: and like just throwing down, like he bought a football,

85
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: Like yeah, touchdown, Like man, we're doing it for our boy.

86
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, big uncle, Yeah, big uncle energy. That's exactly what

87
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: he's doing. He's hype that you know, he's in the

88

Speaker 2: a let's see let's see now.

92
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks later, my brother was pestering my

93
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: dad to find the will, so we looked into my

94
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: uncle's safe. Dad unlocked it and Ben grabbed the paperwork.

95
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 1: Soon after, he's swiped everything off my uncle's desk. Swore

96
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: yelled and stormed out of the room. But he's just

97
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: a sweetheart. He just keeps giving You know what did

Speaker 3: Oh yes, back to the episode.

131
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: Later, I found out that the will that my uncle

132
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: had split with the estate was split four ways, not

133
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: to one fourth to my brother, myself, my uncle's boyfriend,

134
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: and cancer research. So Ben thought he was getting.

135
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: Half and he got a court The fuck his cancer

136
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: research get in my quarter now.

137
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: My brother Ben was angry that he only got one fourth.

138
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: He contested the will and he claimed that he only

139
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: accepted the job of executor because he was promised half

140
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: of all the will once that money.

141
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: Was that actually promised to have you think, I.

142
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: Think there's something about it, and later in the story, okay,

143
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: let's keep going. He believed that he should get half

144
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: and the other half should be split three ways with

145
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: everybody else. It went to court in October of twenty

146
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: twenty two. I testified, and when asked if my brother

147
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: should get half of the estate because of all the

148
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 1: work he had to do, I said no. I said

149
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: that my dad and I had done more than my

150
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: brother did helping my uncle simplify all of his other

151
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: affairs prior to death, and that my uncle was a

152
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: deliberate man and we should respect his wishes because it's

153
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: written in the will. Like it's in the will.

154
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: There's a reason they call it the last Will and Testimony.

155
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: I mean, like he probably put some thought into that.

156
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: That's right. Ben was livid, but he still thought that

157
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: he could win it. He did. In early December, I

158
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: got notified that Ben got a fourth minus the costs

159
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: of the court proceedings, and the rest of us each

160
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: got a fourth. So he literally ended up getting even

161
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: less than he thought he would because he had to

162
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: pay his lawyer fees and stuff.

163
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 3: Oh get rack?

164
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: Justis he went nuts demanding that I compensate him because

165
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: I cost him his money.

166
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: Yo, you were the one who went around and sued.

167
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: Where do you get off? Like? Is there not one

168
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: ounce of like reasonability in your body? Now? My mom

169
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: blew up my phone with oh could you do this

170
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: to my baby? And relatives are telling me that I

171
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: did the wrong day. But he's wrong with you people? God?

172
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: What is this family of absolute blue units that have

173
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: zero brain cells? Yeah, come on, anyone that least two

174
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 2: brain cells would realize this actually is the situation unfolded

175
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: in the way that it should have. Like anyone literally

176
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: cells would recognize that.

177
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: Like he got what he not even what he You

178
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: could argue what he deserved. He literally got what he got.

179
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: Like it just is what it is, Like he sued,

180
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: it costs the money the end. So my family decided

181
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: to up the ante. My mom banned me from Christmas.

182
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: My parents divorced when I was sixteen. Bro the Christmas

183
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: ban over here because of my poor behavior and told

184
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: everyone I refuse to come after what I did. So

185
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: they're not even saying they banned her. They're saying, like, oh,

186
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: she refuses us to come because we didn't accept her.

187
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: Why is his family considers of a bunch of liars

188
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: and dummies? Like everyone everyone, literally every person, It's Christmas.

00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 2: Christmas is a time to celebrate, cheer, to be near

190
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: the friend's family that you love, to forgive, forget, and

00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 3: They ain't the one, None of that now.

193
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: Brother Ben had a New Year's Eve party and my

194
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: sister in law sent me a message saying sorry, with

195
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: a picture of my photo on Ben's dartboard and a

196
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: sign telling his guests at the party to throw darts

197
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: at my picture and message my cell number telling me

00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: I'm an a hole. It doesn't and.

00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 2: That's kind of like, bro, that's pretty good.

201
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: This is the most unnecessary thing ever. I only got

202
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: two messages from his friends, So I don't think I

203

204
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 3: No? I don't think so.

205
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,560

00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: and lost dude.

207
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we get a lot of families that

00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: are like like where op is the only one with

209
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: reason and just like every single person surrounding them is

210
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: an idiot. We hear it, you know what I mean.

211
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: We've heard those stories, yeah, but something about this one,

00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: Come on, dartboard is the worst for me?

221
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 2: like just as someone being an asshole. When you look

00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 2: to the dartboard, it feels like evil, Like it feels

223

00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: gonna bust into Opie's house with like shisties and sky

229
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: masks and just like why'd you have to do it?

230
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: Why did you have to give us the money gun

231
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,040

Speaker 2: My goodness, Today I affed up by kissing my deaf friend.

235
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: There was awkward silence, and then I realized I didn't

236
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: remember a key fact.

237
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: Okay, this is Okyop.

238
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: I'm Samuel Daughter and I'm John Fry, and we tell

239
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: the funniest stories on the Internet in the world. We

240
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 2: dive deep into the depths of Reddit, bringing back diamonds

241
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: for you to glare at and oh, look at it.

242
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: And then we cut those diamonds into smaller diamonds and

243
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: then we sell them at a at a one thousand

244
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: dollars profit in the Diamond District of downtown LA. Today

245
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: aft up by kissing my deaf friend. There was awkward silence,

246
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 2: and then I realized I didn't remember a key fact.

247
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: The question is, though, isn't there always.

248
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 3: There's always an awkward silence with that person?

249
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 2: Oh, just smite me now, Lord, don't deserve this laugh anymore.

250
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 2: I met a girl through a mutual friend. We've known

251
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 2: each other for roughly a year, but haven't spent time

252
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 2: alone yet, always in a group. She's very sweet and

253
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: very pretty, and very deaf. She's not completely deaf, although

254
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: she could still hear a bit, but with the help

255
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 2: of hearing aids. I guess mild deafness. Not sure though.

256
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: Yesterday we met up with our mutual friends. We were

257
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 2: having a barbecue and later on we ran out of snack,

258
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: so the other two went to the grocery store.

259
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 3: Thus we were alone in the yard chatting.

260
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: I know something I could eat. I'm so sorry.

261
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 3: John's just going at it.

262
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm just really terrible today.

263
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 3: This is gonna be bad.

264
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 2: I heard like because so like you know how like

265
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: you know, like how Helen Keller like didn't know how

266
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: to speak, and she was kind of like booh, I

267
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: heard like, deaf sex noises are absolutely wild. Let yeah,

268
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: I just like those noises. Hey, deaf community, let out

269
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: those noise. Let it be yourself, Yeah, be yourself. You're

270
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: all about embracing you. We are and just everyone in

271
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 2: the community. We're not terrible people.

272
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: I promise we're actually Nobel Prize. We're in the running.

273
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 2: We were alone in the yard chatting and I noticed

274
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 2: that she kept staring at my lips, so I thought

275
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: to myself, wait, does she want to kiss me?

276
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: Since she I know where this is going now.

277
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: Since she didn't stop staring. I thought, this is obvious.

278
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: She wants me to make a move, and this time

279
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna miss that hint.

280
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: I leaned in.

281
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: To give her a kiss, and I mean she kind

282
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 2: of kissed back, but afterwards it was like dead silence,

283
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: like so silent. It's what I would imagine that she

284
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 2: hears all the time.

285
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.

286
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: Thank god. The other two arrived a few minutes later.

287
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: The rest of the evening was super awkward between us. Later,

288
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: as she left, I told the other two friends that

289
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: I had kissed her because she kept staring at my lips.

290
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 2: They started laughing, saying, of course she's staring at your lips.

291
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: She's lip for eating you, dummy man.

292
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: I told Sam, are you hungry? Literally, John, I am

293
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: always starving. I get like, swallowed twenty cucumbers right now. Well, Sam,

294
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: I know you love gobbling down them cucumbers, but look,

295
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: eating healthy doesn't mean you have to be sloppy, Samuel.

296
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: The best way to eat fresh is with Hello Fresh.

297
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 3: He's so easy.

298
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: We should cancel all grocery stores and move them to

299
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 2: a deserted island because Hello Fresh is way more convenient,

300

318
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: Before I was building a podcast business, my little entrepreneurial

319
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: booty was selling stuff online. In middle school and high school.

320
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: It was me and my mommy. We'd be in the

321
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: garage selling all kinds of stuff and I hated shipping.

322
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: But you know what changed the game for me? Ship

323
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: station And if y'all are selling anything online, you have

Speaker 1: to use this platform. So it pulls in all the

325

00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,800

327
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,080

328

340
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: stories with some crazy relationships, and although we love reading

341
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: these stories, I think sometimes it could be helpful to

342
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: have someone who can really help and talk through these

343
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: things exactly. Maybe asking strangers on the internet isn't the

344
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 2: best place to get.

00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,800

346
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,280

347
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: better place, and that is better help.

359
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: and since she's never actually done that before, I didn't

360
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 2: even take that into consideration. This will definitely be one

361
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 2: of the moments that'll make me stay up at night

362
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:41,560

Speaker 3: Yeah, eliperating dude is a thing.

368
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: Also, like, he's kind of cool because you can you

369
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 2: can read lips through through like windows and uh. And

370
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: then in cases where you can't hear people.

371
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: Cross like people watching is like takes off.

374
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: little bit creepy, but that's okay. Uh, there's an update. Okay, guys.

375
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: I sent her a message asking if she wants to

376
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 2: come over. He's shooting a shot.

377
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: Oh.

378
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 2: She says she'll be over in an hour. I'm nervous.

379
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 2: I'm trying to convince my roommate to go on a

380
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 2: long walk. Update two. She just left five minutes ago.

381
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 2: I didn't tell her beforehand that I wanted to talk

382
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 2: to her about the kiss, so it was a bit

383
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 2: awkward approaching the topic. Can't go into full detail now,

384
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 2: but I told her that I didn't make to her.

385
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 2: But I told her I didn't mean to make her

386
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 2: uncomfortable and that I had misread the signs. We had

387
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: a good laugh and afterwards, again Opie's shooting a shot.

388
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 2: I asked her if she'd be down to maybe try

389
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 2: things out if she's interested. The thing is, she's going

390
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: to move to Munich, Germany, in a few months end

391
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: of March. I live in France and she told me

392
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: that and while she does like me, she didn't plan

393
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 2: on making any more. She didn't plan on making any

394
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 2: romantic interest because she doesn't want to get too attached

395
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 2: due to her moving anyways, Yeah, she admitted to liking

396
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 2: me a lot and would like to give it a

397
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 2: shot to spike the circumstances.

398
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 3: They're still gonna do it.

399
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 2: Oh, only under the condition that I am being serious

400
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: about it, since she doesn't want something that's only casual.

401
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:27,840
