1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: My fiance wants to try and open marriage just before

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: we get married. I'm suspicious, but should I let him

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: do it?

4
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: You know? I think that's the foundation of any strong,

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 2: beautiful relationship, sam Is I want to uh, right before

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 2: I commit to you, I just want to run around

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 2: and boink a bunch of other people.

8
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to drizzle my glaze on a bunch

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: of other women.

10
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 3: Exactly.

11
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 2: There's a bunch of beautifully unglazed donuts out there that

12
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: need to be glazed.

13
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 3: That this person he's just trying to do them a favor.

14
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: Are you going to stop my baking dream?

15
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: Wow?

16
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 3: God, the gaslighting.

17
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: Hi, I'm at a loss of what to do. Me

18
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: female twenty five and my fiance, male twenty four have

19
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: been in a relationship for three years. Four years coming

20
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 1: up in March. Okay, so a good amount of time.

21
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 3: There we go.

22
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: He popped the question a few months ago, and I

23
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: was so excited, Oh so cute, so naive, don't even

24
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: know what's coming, opie, until something else popped out of him, Chlamydia,

25
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: all that open relationship stuff. Okay. I really feel like

26
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: he is quote unquote the one oh my night and

27
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: shining on a farm boy, as you were, Princess Prince,

28
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: Princess Bride.

29
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: I have seen that one yea far boy, I forget

30
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: that part, but I did see.

31
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: It happens in there. He's the one for me. He's

32
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: amazing in so many ways, and I genuinely feel like

33
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: he feels the same way, or at least I did.

34
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: Oh last night, we ordered takeout for dinner and we

35
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: were going to watch the newest Ring of Power episode.

36
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: He was acting incredibly weird, not very talkative, and very fidgety.

37
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: He usually sits pretty still, a relaxed, but he kept

38
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: bouncing his leg and tapping his fingers. Eventually, about halfway

39
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: through the episode, he pauses it and says he wants

40
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: to talk about something extremely important. Taxes, Why on the

41
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: road to more? Or they just couldn't have taken the eagles?

42
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: That is that? That's important, that's the born, That's a

43
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: good question, urgent. He sounded so nervous, and I immediately

44
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: got this sinking feeling, but I told him everything was okay.

45
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: Just tell me what's going on. He said it has

46
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: been on his mind for a while, and he didn't

47
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: know if it was just the nerves of realizing he's

48
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: about to be married, but he realized that I am

49
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: his first quote unquote real relationship ooh. Before me, he'd

50
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: only dated a couple people in high school and it

51
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: was never long lasting, just like him.

52
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 3: I yopump.

53
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: I asked him where he was going with this, and

54
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 1: he started crying like a little bit. Yeah. He said

55
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: he was scared since he didn't have a lot of

56
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: quote unquote experience. There's a lot of quotes in this

57
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: one with other people, and he was worried if he

58
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: was making the right decision. Obviously, that effing hurt to hear,

59
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: but I didn't say anything. After dancing around the subject

60
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: for a bit, he finally just said what he was thinking,

61
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: that an open relationship would be good for us, at

62
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: least for a little bit. Babe, Babe, I just really

63
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: think that would be sick if I could hook up

64
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: with other babes.

65
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, like think about think about how much.

66
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: Fun we have together and how much more fun I

67
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: could have, Like I would like triple my fun, Babe,

68
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: I'd be so happy old time.

69
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like think about one like you having one Lego set, yeah,

70
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: and then think about if you had two lego sets.

71
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: Whoa and then you could build those lego sets together.

72
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that would be so sick. That's so hot.

73
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: These legos aren't the only bricks I'm working with. Oh yeah,

74
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: I want to be bricked up and put one little

75
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: Lego piece inside the other little Lego piece. Oh, connect them,

76
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: connect them, baby. Honestly, the second half of this conversation

77
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: is a blur because my anxiety was so bad I

78
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: was hardly listening. Oh oh pee sorry. He said he

79
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: loved me, and he knows he wants to marry me

80
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: no matter what, but he wants to see what other

81
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: people were like before getting into a lifelong marriage with me.

82
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: He cried throughout the whole conversation, and he kept reassuring

83
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: me that I wasn't the problem. He just wanted to

84
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: quote unquote experience other people since he was never really

85
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: able to. He said, if I agree to an open relationship,

86
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: there would be a lot of rules in place and

87
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: it would all be very safe. I actually have a

88
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: story about this. Ooh, but I'll leave it to the end. Okay,

89
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: I feel like our relationship is ruined. I'm obviously not okay.

90
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: With an open relationship, he said, I could see other

91
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: people too, but I don't want to. I only have

92
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: eyes for him, I only want him, I only love him.

93
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: Oh oh pe. He kept saying, I have every right

94
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: to say no, and he would understand that. He would

95
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: never make me do something I didn't want to. But

96
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: the thing is, since he brought this up, if I

97
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: say no, then I'm constantly going to think he's seeing

98
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: people anyway. Mmm. Wow, yeah, it's already happening. I used

99
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: to have complete trust in him, but now I can't

100
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: stop thinking if he's already seeing other people.

101
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 3: Or at a minimum, like, uh, is he satisfied?

102
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: Is he satisfied? Just yeah, it sounds like he isn't. Well,

103
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of what he's saying. Maybe he's bringing this

104
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: up because he cheated on me and needs an excuse.

105
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: Now I don't know. My mind is everywhere. I don't

106
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: know what to do. I told him I would think

107
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: about it, and he hugged me. He didn't let go

108
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: for a long time. I slept on the couch last

109
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: night and I told him I needed to be alone.

110
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,799
Speaker 1: Any advice is so appreciated, and I do have an update.

111
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: But first, what would you guys do in this situation

112
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: if your significant other said, hey, I want to open

113
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: a relationship right before you guys are about to get married. Joe,

114
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: what would you do?

115
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's that's a bit of a ball

116
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: to drop, especially like he was the one that proposed.

117
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

118
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: So I find it very strange that, like preparing to propose,

119
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: you're going over all these things in your mind, right,

120
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: you don't at that point stop and say, yeah, maybe

121
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: I am like not ready for this next level of

122
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: commitment because it feels like such.

123
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: A it feels like a huge backtrack.

124
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: I feel a huge bait and switch to be like, hey,

125
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: I want to get married, like that is saying I

126
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: want to be married to you, and I'd be like, oh,

127
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 2: just kidding, I want like.

128
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: I Yeah, I mean I I had a friend that

129
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: wasn't about to get married, which I think is maybe

130
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: the key, but was dating pretty seriously and then they

131
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: he wanted to see other people and just like experience

132
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: what you know, other fish there was in the sea,

133
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: and so they broke up for like a summer, and

134
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: then they got back together after it both had experiences

135
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: and now are like probably the strongest relationship I now. Interesting.

136
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's it's very hard to say because it's so situational,

137
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 2: but it almost seems like that where it's like that's

138
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: way more clear and defined at least.

139
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I feel like if anything, like maybe you

140
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: it's tricky because you propose, But like I would have said,

141
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: before you propose, if you have these feelings, take a break. Yeah,

142
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: see how you feel apart and then come back together.

143
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: Also, crap, I just had I just had a great thought.

144
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: It was about John had a great thought.

145
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: Here we go.

146
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: If you because people, you know, there are people that

147
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: practice like polyamorous relationships. If you were both not polyamorous

148
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: entering the relationship, that is probably a recipe for something

149
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: to go awy.

150
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: It's hard to switch it up. It's definitely hard to

151
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: people do it. Though people do it.

152
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: And you know again like if you both are polyamorous

153
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: going into it, that's like a completely different story.

154
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 3: Right.

155
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: But I actually, you know, I don't see a ton

156
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: of issue with at like say like, hey, is this

157
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: something you'd be open to?

158
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 3: I don't think so either.

159
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: But an issue if you're lying, Like if it's true

160
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: that he's looking for an out and has already cheated, yes,

161
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: massive move. Yeah, But to say like, hey, this is

162
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: something I've been feeling. What do you think, like, I

163
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: don't actually see that as bad.

164
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: I think I think it's it's it's I don't think

165
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: it's objectively bad, but it's like how the other just

166
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: how that?

167
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? Definitely, it definitely could weakend the relationship.

168
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and hurt the other person potentially their temperament.

169
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, but I don't think it's necessarily bad to

170
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: take a break and and you know, sow your wild

171
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: outs and then realize the oats you wanted to sew

172
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: all the time that the whole time. We're back at home.

173
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: Uh oh wow, but there is an update. Oh boy,

174
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: the update isn't great. Oh god. We called off the

175
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: engagement and broke up. He swears up and down he

176
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: didn't do anything, but he confessed he brought it up

177
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: because he had a crush on someone and wanted to

178
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: try it out. Yikes, So a little bit of emotional

179
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: cheating going. I'd been staying at a friend's house for

180
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: a few days, trying to figure out what I wanted

181
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: to do. A lot of the people in the commons

182
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: were a huge help to me and helped me mentally prepare.

183
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: I appreciate a lot of you so much. I probably

184
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't have gone through with it, but you guys pushed

185
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: me to ask more questions. I asked him what made

186
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: him start thinking about it, and at first he went

187
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: back to his experience bullshit. I told him, if he

188
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: wanted to experiment sexually, I would be more than happy

189
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: to try some things out, and I wasn't going to

190
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: be accepting that as an answer. After a while, he

191
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: caved in and admitted that a girl who works at

192
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: a coffee shopp he visits often asked him for his number,

193
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: and that's when he started to think about it. I

194
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: was heartbroken and angry, to say the least. He said

195
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: that if we had gotten into an open relationship, people

196
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: we knew would be off limits. He said she didn't

197
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: count as somebody knew because he wasn't friends with her

198
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: and she was still technically a stranger. Of course, I

199
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: told him he did know her, he goes there almost

200
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: every day and she's very friendly with us. But either way,

201
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: it didn't matter because he had already told me there

202
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: was no one he had in mind. He lied to me. MM, yeah, yeah,

203
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: it is. It's a lie.

204
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 3: Smart line of questioning.

205
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: It's a lie. Yeah, it's a lie. Yeah. After some

206
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: more arguing, crying from both of us, he told me,

207
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: if I didn't want the open relationship, then just say

208
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: no and we could move on from this. He was

209
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: basically begging me not to talk about it anymore. He

210
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: just wanted to move on. I told him it wasn't

211
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: easy because I straight up do not trust him anymore.

212
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: As far as I know, he could have already experimented

213
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: with her, which I feel like that's a little bit

214
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: of a leap.

215
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: She's probably very like this whole thing, it seems has

216
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: made her very insecure.

217
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's speak out of security.

218
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's like like, I just I don't,

219
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think it's a bad thing to

220
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: I I just don't think it's a necessarily a bad

221
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: thing to ask for an open relationship. I wonder what

222
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: the Reddit comments are. Yeah, I don't think it's I

223
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: don't think it. I don't feel like you're crossing any boundaries.

224
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: I feel like you're being respectful. Has to be brought

225
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: up in the right way of.

226
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: Yes, objectively, I agree with you. I don't think there's

227
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: anything necessarily wrong. It is all about the temperament of

228
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: the other person.

229
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. He said he would never go to that coffee

230
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: place again, and if he saw her, he would ignore her.

231
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: I told him he could see other people. I just

232
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't be in the picture. He got frantic and asked

233
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: me if I was breaking up with him. I said yes, wow.

234
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: I told him a year from now, or even a

235
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: couple of years from now, after he gets all his

236
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: quote unquote experience out of his system, and if I'm

237
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: still single and interested, we can try again. From the beginning,

238
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: no engagement. I personally don't see us getting back together,

239
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: but he was crying and clinging on to me. Honestly,

240
00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: I'm disgusted. I'm mostly sad, though heartbroken, pissed off, lost, confused, anxious.

241
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: We had our whole life planned out and ready for us,

242
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: and it got ruined by a stupid, effing crush He

243
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: had the nerve to ask to try out because of

244
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: lack of experience. I'm heading out in a bit to

245
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: get drunk with some girlfriends. I know a few people

246
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: wanted an update. Sorry, it wasn't very happy. Thank you

247
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: for all the advice. Dang, it's over.

248
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: It's over.

249
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: But I don't know like I think that brings up

250
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: a good question like what would you and we kind

251
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: of answered a little bit before, but what would you

252
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: do if you if your significant other asked for an

253
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: open relationship? Because I know, I know some people it's

254
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: hard to take it a good way honestly, the person,

255
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: like the person receiving it. I think it would be

256
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: pretty hard not to have your relationship falter. But I

257
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: don't necessarily see it as like a moral failing. Yeah,

258
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: I just see it as like in terms of preserving

259
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: the strength of relationship. Yeah, probably not a good move.

260
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, again, I think if like if someone hasn't, uh,

261
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: it just makes so much more sense if you're polyamorous

262
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: going into the relationship mid relationship. That's where it's I

263
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure, I'm sure people have done it, of course,

264
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 2: but like we'll think about all a swinger couple of things.

265
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: You were married for forty years and then you're like, hey,

266
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: like Jill and Joel looking like a snack. Uh oh,

267
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think that Yeah, No, I agree with that.

268
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: I don't objectively think there's anything wrong with that per se.

269
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's just it's just one of those things

270
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: that it's just so hard not to take personally because

271
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: what do you instantly do You're like, what do I

272
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 2: have that's not yeah?

273
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah?

274
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 3: Why am I yeah? Yeah?

275
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: So it's like it's it's maybe there's a way, but

276
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: I can't think of a way to like propose that

277
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: without that kind of being in the in the air.

278
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like I mean a way you could

279
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: maybe do it, And it's it's tricky, but it's like

280
00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: you could you like, like a threesome is closer right

281
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: where it's like, hey, I want to like, would you

282
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: be interested in you know, doing doing this together as

283
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: an experience, But yeah.

284
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel less uh less of an impact maybe

285
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: maybe because it's like more.

286
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: Like this person together.

287
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what it's like, not really logical

288
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: per se, but like it's some It's one of those

289
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: things that just like feels like it's.

290
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: Still it would still be tough. It's a big it's

291
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: a big ask, but especially because the default for a

292
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: lot of these relationship is monogamy exactly right, And so

293
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: if you're asking for something that isn't monogamy, and for

294
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: someone who has like pretty I think a lot of

295
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: people with their relationship me included, Like I would say,

296
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: I have pretty uh standard feelings about what a monogamous

297
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: relationshipship like, based on my upbringing, my parents, whatever, So

298
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: I think it would be pretty hard for me to

299
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: get on board. You disgust me. Yeah, I have seven

300
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: partners right now, just kidding, But I would be very

301
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: curious what everyone else thinks. Yes, because this is get

302
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's necessarily a right answer.

303
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

304
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: But there are multiple answers. All we want to know

305
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: because we love hearing answers from you guys.

306
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: Oh we do. Speaking of hearing answers from all of

00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: This is the story where OPI accidentally insults her future

312
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:37,239
Speaker 2: dodder in law's infertility. This comment comes from public subscriber

313
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: Piccolo Johnson. The daughter in law is pining for sympathy.

314
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: She knows dang well, her mother in law didn't know,

315
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: and her initial reaction was on called for and the

316
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: aftermath of it being blown out of proportion. I wouldn't

317
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: be surprised if the dodder in law didn't twist it

318
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: to gain more sympathy, Kane Lovick says, unless she's lying,

319
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: OPI didn't know about her daughter in law's infertility at

320
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: the time, there was no shaming. There was sympathy plus understanding.

321
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: I think in law might be trying to be controlling

322
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 2: and cut off sun from OPI.

323
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 3: You know, we always we.

324
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: Always get strong opinions from our beloved fans, and we

325
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: love them and we love them, so drop someone this one.

326
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 3: We might just read them. We'll see in the next one.

327
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: Can't quit my job if I'm taking my uniform, well,

328
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: I guess I'm leaving naked. I mean, that's the ultimate protest,

329
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: ultimate protest. That's a naked protest. Baby.

330
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: I've heard of a big bear at all. I've heard

331
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: of a picket sign, but a picket dick.

332
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: Big a dick. Pick you a dick.

333
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: We got all.

334
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: Kinds shapsis step right up, pick a dick.

335
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: Just so. Back when I was a teenager, around fourteen

336
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: years old, I worked for the shop down the road

337
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: as their weekend baker quote unquote, which mainly was just

338
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: defrosting pre cooked items or browning pre cooked bread in

339
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: the oven. Yeah. My boss's daughter also worked there as

340
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: a checkout staff. However, she would just call in six

341
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: slash hungover every weekend. So of course her dad would

342
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: let her off the hook and make me cover her shift.

343
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: So I would work five am to seven pm most weekends.

344
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: That's seven hours. That's crazy, geez. Bro. After a couple

345
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: of years, I decided I was quitting and gave them

346
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: two weeks notice. All right, respect yourself, over you go.

347
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: My boss asked me to stay an extra week to

348
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: train the new weekend baker, which I agreed to. At

349
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: the end of the third week, I went into my

350
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: boss's office and did the usual, well, it's been so

351
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: great working with you, to which he replies, so OPI

352
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: the extra week you work to train the new baker

353
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: means you have been here two years, which means, according

354
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: to policy, you need to work four week's notice instead.

355
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: So I'll see you next week.

356
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: What kind of rule is that that? That sounds like

357
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: complete bs to me, completely.

358
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: Be made up.

359
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 2: Also, bro, he's like he's fourteen. This is the most

360
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: like adult, you know. He's like, yeah, you know, I'm

361
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: going and giving the old the handshake, and you know

362
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 2: sign off and I'm like, bru at fourteen, I was like,

363
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: I don't know what I was doing, but I was

364
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: doing that.

365
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: I was quitting on the spot. Also, you need to

366
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: give us back your uniform on your last shift, and

367
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: it needs to be freshly cleaned. Wow, rude. No. Being

368
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: a petulant teenager who was tired of waking up at

369
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: four am, I stared at him in disbelief for a

370
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: couple of seconds, waiting for the shit eating grin on

371
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: his face to laugh and say, just kidding, I have

372
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: a good one, and the moment didn't come. What an

373
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: asshole do, dude? It's like, this is like a kid,

374
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: This is a kid.

375
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: God.

376
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: So I walked out of the office, stripped down to

377
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: my boxers, folded up my Baker's whites, my trousers and

378
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: even my little mesh fedora on top, walked into his

379
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: office again and dropped the uniform on his desk and

380
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: walked home. He followed me, dude, what a saturbude? So

381
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: to you, that is like the most ballsy move of

382
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: all time. Big dude, respect, big respect. He followed me

383
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: down the stairs and through the shop, shouting about how

384
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: I would never work anywhere again. Yeah, does this guy

385
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: have like a street cred or something?

386
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know you're you're you're gonna go to

387
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 2: like Merrill Lynch as I'm like becoming an investment baker,

388
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: Like no, no, stop.

389
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: It now, thinking back, that must have been a strange

390
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: thing for customers to see. It was a ten minute

391
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: home walk in the summer sun. Nothing arduous, apparently, according

392
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: to his daughter, who got back in touch with me

393
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: a couple of years later, I'm now one of the

394
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: stories my old boss tells people when he's had a

395
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: few drinks. Not in a nice funny story way, though.

396
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 2: Do this it? Like, first of all, this kid is like, bro,

397
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 2: he must have been had like so much money relatively,

398
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 2: Like he's working like crazy shifts every single weekend.

399
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: Fourteen in san An's balling out. What can you even

400
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: buy at fourteen? Can't buy a car?

401
00:19:59,000 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 3: No?

402
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: Well, like uh ps, five games?

403
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, maggat shoes, clothes, there's.

404
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can find a way. I never spent money

405
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: when I was a kid. I guess tell you. I

406
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: did get like software for editing, but that's like about it.

407
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 2: Wow, respect, I did not. I was like Windows movie

408
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: maker here we go.

409
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think I bought computer stuff because

410
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: I was freaking nerd.

411
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 3: That's hey, honestly, look nerd, Nerds win.

412
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: Hey, nerds walk at us now, look at us now thrones.

413
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,239
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking about I'm already thinking about, like how

414
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: to redecorate the new room that I'm moving in. I'm

415
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: planning on moving rooms, getting my own room, that's right.

416
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: I want to get the bust of Beethoven, the bust

417
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: of beethoveah somewhere in there. Yeah, I think that would

418
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: be cool.

419
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 3: Go for it, very very classical.

420
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: I also want to get rid of the popcorn ceiling.

421
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 3: Really.

422
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate it.

423
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I literally could not care less. I I hate

424
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 2: looking at it.

425
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: It sucks.

426
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 3: I actually kind of like looking at it.

427
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: No, it's the worst. It's so bad. I want to

428
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: scrape it all off. You want to scrape it off?

429
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: Why is it insulation? I think it actually helps with

430
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: fire and it also is noise reducing, I.

431
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 2: Believe, knowing actually, no, like I was gonna say, like,

432
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 2: you're gonna like scrape it off and then there's gonna

433
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 2: be like a fire in the apartment. But knowing you, guys,

434
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 2: it'll like you a fire will start and then it'll

435
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 2: literally like almost get to the roof and then some

436
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 2: like a ukulele full of water will spill. Yes, and

437
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 2: that is exactly the whole the whole fire, hopefully, hopefully.

438
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 2: I've watched I've watched this, this crew of scoundrels, literally

439
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 2: five grown men jumping up and down at like two

440
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: thirty in the morning, and I'm like, how the guys

441
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: get away with it? It's the popcorn ceiling. I guess

442
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: it's the popcorn ceilings. That's the way I have to

443
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 2: keep it.

444
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: Now. Yeah, well, maybe I'll keep it in the living room,

445
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: but just not like a few like because my room

446
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: currently doesn't have a popcorn ceiling. Interesting, but Brandon's room does,

447
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: well or power to you with my friend now
