1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Sam. This is John the og Storytime

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: podcast host.

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we got some great stories coming up.

4
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: But before that, we get a teeny two minute break

5
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: from the sponsors that keep this show propped up like

6
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,079
Speaker 1: a little house. Oh yeah, I secretly moved out of

7
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: the house because I could no longer handle my family.

8
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 2: You can't handle the truth or your family.

9
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: So I twenty six female my sister twenty three female

10
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: have been bullied by our parents for most of our lives.

11
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: Once my brother, twenty male was born, our parents have

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: always favored him. Okay, And by the way, this comes

13
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: from Sassy Redhead two three four and if you want

14
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: to submit your own stories, good to our slash Okay

15
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: story time, so I'll read it. So we knew they

16
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: always wanted a boy. Many people in our lives, including family,

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: friends and even family members, would confront them on their

18
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: treatment of us. So it was so bad that they

19
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: got confronted. My father would stay silent while my mother

20
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: would scream and defend herself, oh, telling them that my

21
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: sister and I were horrible. We knew that anytime they

22
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: talked about us, it was never good. Yikes. When it

23
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: came to my brother, it was always about him, talking

24
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 1: about his achievements as if he was the best thing

25
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: since slice bread. Now, I never held that against my brother.

26
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: No one can control the actions of others. We all

27
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: actually bonded from the ridiculousness of our parents, which is good, okay.

28
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: As he got older, he would see their treatment towards

29
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: us where he would call if they ever had an

30
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: episode when going after my sister, and I'd have to

31
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: step in. Growing up, my mother prioritized chores in the

32
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: house instead of my education. I would have to vacuum

33
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: the house top to bottom. That's crazy. Prioritizing chores over

34
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: education is kind of nuts.

35
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 2: Rose got a degree in making it shine.

36
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: I would have to make dinner, do dishes, walk the dog,

37
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: collect the trash, clean the kitchen, et cetera. Before I

38
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: could even get started on my homework. My grades suffered.

39
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: The only thing I could go to that would give

40
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: me joy was choir. They would have tend some of

41
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: my events, but if my brother had even just a

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: football practice, they would prior They would prioritize that over

43
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: my one choir events. My aunt and grandparents would be

44
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: there instead because they knew they weren't being fair to

45
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: me even when I was going to trade school and

46
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: working two jobs. They were trying to charge me rent

47
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: because I wasn't I wasn't doing chores anymore since I

48
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: was gone from eight am to one am in the

49
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: morning from working so hard. The last straw was last

50
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: year in August. My parents let me stay in their

51
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: house after COVID since my job was affected, so I

52
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: stayed with them to save money to get back on

53
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: my feet. I knew there were no strings attached if

54
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: I did, but I accepted it. Now. My parents live

55
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: in an old home built back in the eighteen hundreds,

56
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: so there are a lot of electrical issues with the home.

57
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: We had to have an electrician come to change the

58
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: wattage of the electrical output so it would be safer

59
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: for the home. I guess, so it doesn't burn down

60
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: or whatever. So that summer, the washer and dryer in

61
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: the basement stopped working if you ran both of them

62
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: at the same time. The dry my mother was trying

63
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: to say that since she just got the dryer, then

64
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: the washer has to be broken, because like only one

65
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: of them was working at the same time. So she said,

66
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: in order for my sister and I had to use

67
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: the new washer. She would charge us two hundred dollars

68
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: to cover the new washer. I don't know about that.

69
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: I asked her if it was really a new washer

70
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: that was needed, or if it was just the outlet

71
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: that needed to be looked at since the washer was

72
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: still working. Something in her snapped. She yelled at me

73
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: from the top of her lungs, accusing me of thinking

74
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: I know everything, how I think I'm gonna know it all,

75
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 1: and that not everything I say is right. Once you

76
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: calmed down a bit, she turned and asked, so, have

77
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: you found a new place to move yet? I just

78
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: told her I was still looking. But what she did

79
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: know is that I had already put a deposit on

80
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: an apartment and would be moving in that month. Good,

81
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: I decided at that moment I wasn't going to tell her.

82
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: So OPI is sick and tired of the parents prioritizing

83
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: and golden childing the brother and yelling at them. So Op,

84
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: he's moving out.

85
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I can see why.

86
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: I arranged to have my brother and boyfriend at the

87
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: time helped me move my stuff while my mom went

88
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: to coach lacrosse and my dad was at work. We

89
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: only had a two hour window, so as soon as

90
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: my mom at the house, I went to the closest

91
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: U haul and packed up all my belongings and left.

92
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: The rest of my family was very supportive of my

93
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: decision and even place bets on how long it would

94
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: take for them to notice I moved. For context, I

95
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,239
Speaker 1: had left for a week to go to Kansas City

96
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: and my mom thought I was home the entire time,

97
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: so we didn't think they would notice. To our surprise,

98
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: my dad did notice, but not until he went into

99
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: my room to look for something. Still don't know what

100
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: he went in there to look for, but whatever. And

101
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: to this day, my dad has reached out, but only

102
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: to wish me happy birthday or happy Holidays. My mother

103
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: has not talked to me at all since moving out.

104
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: My family says I did the right thing for getting out,

105
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: but my brother and sister think I should reach out

106
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: to them. Am I the a hole? There are some

107
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: edits and definitely are some updates, And also it was

108
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: so bad that all the family members, like they extended

109
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: family and friends will be like.

110
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 2: I can't believe you're treating your kids like this. Yeah,

111
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: so is OPI the a hole. I'm gonna say absolutely not. Yeah,

112
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 2: parents have different styles, like some people do the classic

113
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: like oh, you charge your kid rent and then give

114
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: it back to them when they move out and that

115
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. But just the way it's it's clear

116
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: from the breakdown in context that we got the sibling

117
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: is the golden child, Opie is not and is chopped

118
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: liver truth the question. So I think the parents are

119
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: doing a little bit of this being horses. But can

120
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 2: you lead a horse to water and have them drink?

121
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: I guess we'll find out. Maybe now you're an all star. Edit.

122
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: I forgot to mention that after she yelled at me

123
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: about thinking I knew everything, my sister texted me two

124
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: days later saying that they sold that washer, so confirmed

125
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: what I already thought, which was the washer was never

126
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: broken the first place. They just wanted a new one

127
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: and for us to pay for it. So we got

128
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: some comments. Come on one, not the ale. Your parents

129
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: are toxic. Your father's toxic for just sitting there with

130
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: no backbone, to just let your mother walk all over

131
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: him and just enables her behavior. Your mother is a

132
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: classic text book narcissist. If your sister and brother feel

133
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: that way, then they are more than welcome to reach

134
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: out to her, but you have no obligations to that woman,

135
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: and I use that term loosely. NOPEI replied, thank you

136
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: for making me feel less crazy and comment too. How

137
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: close are you to your sister? Are you in a

138
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: position to help her get out of that house too? Nope,

139
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: he replied, I have tried, but she has always had

140
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: a sinister side to her. She has adopted a lot

141
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: of the traits that my mom has. For example, if

142
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: she woke up and was late to school, I would

143
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: drive her in, but if I needed her to drive

144
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: me somewhere, she would say, that's not my problem, that's lame.

145
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: She isn't talking to anyone on my mom's side of

146
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: the family or me because of incidents that I will

147
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: be putting in another Reddit story. Oh no, not too.

148
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: Reddit story is worth whole catalog. It's odd because they

149
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: started bullying her a little later after my mom took

150
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: her out of cheerleading, just because my mom didn't get

151
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: along with one of the moms. Her grades started slipping

152
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: after going from on a roll to c's and d's.

153
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: But a lot of her problems are also self inflicted,

154
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: so she wants my parents' attention, knowing she is going

155
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: to lose people in the process. Sad coment three, I'm

156
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: so glad you're out, not the A hole. I hope

157
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: your sister can also escape, and OPI replied, I don't

158
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: think she will, even though she was bullied and still

159
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: is being bullied by them. She is trying whatever she

160
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: can to get their approval, even if it means she

161
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: loses her friends and family in the process. And come

162
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: number four, not the able. The best revenge is to

163
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: go lie. The best revenge is to go why on

164
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: okay storytelling, not the ale. The best revenge is to

165
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: go live a good life without them. I would cut

166
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,239
Speaker 1: all contact with both parents and probably the sister as well.

167
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: Then get some therapy if you can, and OPI replied,

168
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: my sister has decided to cut ties with everyone except

169
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: my parents. But that is another Reddit story for another time.

170
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: I currently have a huge help moving forward, plus to

171
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: support my boyfriend and the rest of my extended family

172
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: and friends. Thank you so much for your support, Reddits.

173
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: But there is an update. There is an update. But yeah,

174
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: all the information I've got opis not the A hole

175
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: from distancing themselves from their terrible parents.

176
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, do we go back in and try to do

177
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: a rescue mission for the sister. It seems like she's

178
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: a little woefully misguided, maybe just falling into the parent trap.

179
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: The parent trap.

180
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, is it worth it to save her? I don't know,

181
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: but it seems like she's addicted to the attention and

182
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: maybe was trying, Like I felt like there was some

183
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: undertones of her sliding op to get more attention. So yeah,

184
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if that's a battle

185
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: OP needs.

186
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 2: To fight, because it's like, Okay, I could go and

187
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: say this to you, but is any of it going

188
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: to be received going to Yeah, if you've already cut

189
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: off all the people in your life, if you've already

190
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 2: gone that hard in.

191
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: The paint, Yeah, I don't know.

192
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can save you.

193
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. But we got a little bit more

194
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: so an update. My mother had always been vocal about

195
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: what her sister did to her when they were younger,

196
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: how she stole her identity, and when my aunt got

197
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: caught by the cops, and how she was the meaner

198
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: at school, bowling a lot, et ce. What I heard

199
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: was horrible. When she became a mother and getting involved

200
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: in her community she went through a change. What mattered

201
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: the most to her was to make sure her family

202
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: knew a healthy family unit. She even apologized to my

203
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: mother for what she did when she was younger. So

204
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: it's like this aunt that actually is providing support for

205
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: OP now was pretty terrible in childhood. With that, my

206
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: mother didn't forgive her instead decided to slowly reduce contact.

207
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: Ever since I was young, I remember everything my mother

208
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: told me about her. My siblings and I were even

209
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: convinced that her aunt wanted nothing more than to than

210
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: to one up our mother. If my mother wanted to

211
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: host Thanksgiving out her house, my aunt would say she

212
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: couldn't make it. If we had a game close to

213
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: where they lived, said we couldn't make it. I was

214
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: even convinced that for a bit, my aunt was trying

215
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: to break my sister away from us, because she took

216
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: my sister out for her birthday. One time, we really

217
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: started looking at her negatively when her husband fell into

218
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: eternal sleep at my uncle because of bone marrow cancer,

219
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: and our mother would constantly tell us about how she

220
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: clearly was faking the tears at the funeral.

221
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: Why faking bad, that's crazy.

222
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: None of it looked good, so we all so we

223
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: all so we all only would get information from our

224
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: mother because we didn't want to get in the middle

225
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: of that. We didn't want the drama. Years later, I

226
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: started asking a lot more questions about things that had

227
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: happened in the past. I didn't ask my aunt just yet,

228
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: but I did ask my grandparents about past events that

229
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: had happened between my mother and aunt. Turned out half

230
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: of the things she told us weren't even true. So

231
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: she's been lying. Yeah, this whole time.

232
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: She was lying. Oh, who could have predicted it?

233
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I guess you know, we started out the

234
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: story with a bunch of like terrible things from the mom.

235
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: I think, now all of this is coming to light,

236
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: So I think OPI is just realizing like the extent

237
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: of the deceit digging deeper. They did confirm some of

238
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: the stories, but even the stories they confirmed weren't the

239
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: whole truth. That's when I started talking more to my

240
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: aunt and my cousins. I would drive to my aunts

241
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: when I could. My cousin was also having a baby soon,

242
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: so I wanted to support them however I could. In

243
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: my time there, I found out a lot more information

244
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: about what was happening over the years, including what happened

245
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: between her and my uncle before he passed. Before they

246
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: found out about the diagnosis, he had been abusing prescription substances.

247
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: He was a tough military man and only made uh

248
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: an and only made the anger worse with substances. My

249
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: siblings and I have witnessed the behavior, so I started

250
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: to connect the dots, always putting my aunt down and

251
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: the boys. She would take the brunt of the mental abuse,

252
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: so her three boys wouldn't hear any of the things

253
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: he was saying. Then one day he told her he

254
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: was done, that he didn't care about her anymore. They

255
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: didn't care about the boys either. He wanted to leave

256
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: and wouldn't care what the boys thought. She was done.

257
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: Trying to help him, told him that if that's how

258
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: he truly felt, then he should get his things, but

259
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: not to tell the boys any of what he was saying.

260
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: They agreed to go through with divorce. They would then

261
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: soon have it as they soon agreed to separate. That

262
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: my uncle would get the cancer diagnosis, and the cancers

263
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: already so far and he only had a few months

264
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: to live. I wonder if he knew about that earlier.

265
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: I don't know.

266
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe he was like, hey, like I need to

267
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: buy myself and I'm just gonna dip on all my

268
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: familial responsibilities to I don't.

269
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 2: Know, because the aunt put it all on rend today.

270
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 2: Back in the day was bad. But now she's kind

271
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 2: of like gone through this like transformation, right, So.

272
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: But now she has this piece of crab husband. Yeah,

273
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: we're getting some backstory.

274
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is some good This is some good tea.

275
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: This is some good tea.

276
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: I think we're understanding, like why everyone is the way

277
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: they are. For the boy's sake, my aunt agreed to

278
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: have uncle stay at the house. She would take care

279
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: of him until his last day, so the boys would

280
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: have better memories with their father in that time. That's

281
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: when my aunt met her now boyfriend. He would come

282
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: to tune the piano at their house, and after getting

283
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: to know each other, decided to make it official that

284
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: they were dating. A bit after my uncle's passing, that's

285
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: a little complicated. When my uncle passed away and the

286
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: funeral happened, our family got winn about her new boyfriend already.

287
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: My mother went to see my aunt about how she

288
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: needs to think about how she feels about all of this,

289
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: that they are mourning, and how it's about her feelings.

290
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: And my aunt not only stayed with my uncle and

291
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: took care of him while he was sick, but she

292
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: also had to live in the same house as when

293
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: my uncle fell into eternal sleep. My cousins had to

294
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: live in the same house their father fell into eternal sleep.

295
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: They lived it every day. Yet it was about how

296
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: my mother felt about it. But I feel like the

297
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: mother is like, how do I feel about you meeting

298
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: this piano tuner so soon after? But I don't know, like, yeah,

299
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: this is interesting backstory. She told her this, But my

300
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: mom has always loved to make a situation about herself.

301
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: I also found out every time she said she couldn't

302
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: make it to an event, it was because my mom

303
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: would tell her that they couldn't come because it was

304
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: a private family event for school. When it came to

305
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: hosting parties, my mother would never ask if she could

306
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: host that year and would should and would just tell

307
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: her two days before the event she had all the recipes.

308
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: Even when my sister had tried to remove from this

309
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: plane herself, I was the only person that visited her

310
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: in the hospital. But the reason my mother told everyone

311
00:14:54,800 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: else that hospital was not accepting visitors. Oh that's crazy. Yeah,

312
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: So basically the mother is just like forcibly removing the

313
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: aunt from everything by lying.

314
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: Dude, we gotta get we gotta get mom locked up

315
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: or something. She's a hazard.

316
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: For years, I thought my family on both sides were

317
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy. Now I've come to find out they were

318
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: the thing I needed all along. I've missed them so

319
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: much and I'm so happy that I'm looking at all

320
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: the facts now. As for my parents, they have cut

321
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: contact with most family members on both side. I've even

322
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: lost a few friends along the way now have even

323
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: lost a daughter. My siblings are choosing to stay blind,

324
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: which now begs the question is my mother the a

325
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: hole for not forgiving my aunt for childhood drama? And

326
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: there are some comments, but I mean, I definitely think

327
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: your mom is the a hole.

328
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: Yes, I thought, because the family is the family had

329
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: drama in question, her getting with the piano tuner.

330
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: And also no and the drama of childhood as well.

331
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 2: Gotcha, So there was maybe some other stuff others.

332
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: Because I remember the aunt was completely like ragging on

333
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: Op's mom for most of childhood it was pretty bad

334
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: when when growing up, but then had a change of

335
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: heart later in life.

336
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's to to say like, oh, don't go

337
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: to the hospital, there are no visitors at the hospital.

338
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: Stuff like that is corazyrazy, that is that is untenable behavior.

339
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: Unfathomable, untenable. What's what does the guy say in Princess Brideon.

340
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: Inconceivable, incomfeeable, inconceivable, very incomfeeable.

341
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: But we got some comments and an update. So your

342
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: mother is entitled to going low contact slash no contact

343
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: with her sister if she can't get over the events

344
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: that happened when they were younger. That said, it doesn't

345
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: give her the right to spread false rumors and outright

346
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: lies about her sister or family or prevent you and

347
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: your siblings from seeing them. I think I completely agree.

348
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: It sounds like your mom makes everything about herself and

349
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: you're more than entitled to cut the toxicity out of

350
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: your life and go low contact slash no contact with

351
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: her as well. And update two, my sister got instant

352
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: karma when trying to take attention away from my cousin's wedding.

353
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 2: Oh oh, this is like a whole other story.

354
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but it's a continuation continuation. So my cousin

355
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: twenty three Mail was getting married to his now wife

356
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: a few months ago. When I was asked to make

357
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: their wedding cake for this special day, I was so honored.

358
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: My mother, on the other hand, was furious about it,

359
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 1: so much so that her and my father decided to

360
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: not come to the wedding. That's crazy because I was

361
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 1: going to be there. Even though they were not going

362
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: to be there. My sister and brother twenty Mails said

363
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: they would go to the wedding. Knowing how my sister

364
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: was with being places on time, I asked my brother

365
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: beforehand if he wanted my boyfriend and I to pick

366
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: him up. He would later regret declining this offer, foreshadowing

367
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: fast forward to the wedding day. We get there an

368
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: hour early to help with anything else before the ceremony,

369
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: and I texted my brother to see how far away

370
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: they were. He texted back frustrated since they hadn't even

371
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: left yet. Right before the ceremony was about to start,

372
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: my sister pulled up, disrupting the wedding party that was

373
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: getting lined up in the back. Thankfully, the rest of

374
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: the wedding went off without a hitch. But I started

375
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: hearing some weird whispers about my sister, Whisper Whisper. My

376
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: grandmother informed me that she was going around telling everyone

377
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: about her going back to school. Now you would think

378
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: this was completely harmless, but if you know my sister,

379
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: you know she was trying to start something. She wasn't

380
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: just telling people that she was going back to school.

381
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: She was also not telling me, not telling people the

382
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: name of the school she was going back to, because

383
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 1: she was throwing a college reveal party to announce her

384
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: school of choice in the coming weeks.

385
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 2: Okay, it's University of Michigan.

386
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: Okay, maybe you can get a couple of different hats

387
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 3: with universities and pig. You could do that if you're

388
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 3: an athlete. But a reveal party.

389
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: Where does that stack in proposing at someone else's wedding

390
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: telling people about your college reveal party?

391
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 2: I mean, college real party is way with college reveal

392
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: party is just stupid. Proposing at the wedding is.

393
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: Is the smartest thing you could do?

394
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 3: Yes, I better see this college reveal party. I better

395
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 3: see letters of other colleges denying you, and then we

396
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 3: get to the one where they accept you.

397
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have to do like the whole draft readout.

398
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want I want to build out. I want

399
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: to build up. I want to build up. And then

400
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: I want Chat to choose the college that you attend.

401
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: That's crazy, dude, Dude Chat If I had you back

402
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: in my college days, that would be so funny to

403
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: do an admission like admissions opening thing, and I'll let

404
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: Chat vote which college you go to Chat decide your life.

405
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: That dude crazy.

406
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 3: Wait, Sam, I had a crazy live stream idea. Imagine you,

407
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 3: like your dad came into your life for the first time,

408
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 3: and you did a forty eight hour live live stream

409
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 3: for forty hours straight where he teaches you to fix

410
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 3: your tire in your car, shave you know, all the

411
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 3: dad things, throw catch everything for forty eight hours straight.

412
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: Sounds so wholesome. Yeah, I love that.

413
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 2: I would I would totally do that. That would bang

414
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: so hard it would bang, would go.

415
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: But we got some more to this story, so she

416
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: didn't get the reaction she wanted out of anyone she

417
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: told and only invited my other cousin, the groom's brother

418
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: and his fiancees to the party. She didn't even invite

419
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: my cousin whose wedding. It was. Before she left, she

420
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: pulled my brother aside in her car and whined about

421
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: how no one cared about her announcement. He came back

422
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,239
Speaker 1: after she drove away and told my boyfriend and I

423
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: what happened. I was pissed. We didn't let it ruin

424
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: the night, though, and had an amazing night. Now you

425
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: might be saying to yourself, this doesn't sound like karma

426
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: too much to me, And you're right, like karma too

427
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: much to me. The karma happened the day of the party.

428
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: A week later, I saw my sister's Instagram that she

429
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: had announced for college. It looked like a nice party

430
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: that was put together, which made me a bit sad

431
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: since my parents never did anything like that for me.

432
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: Only my siblings had the big graduation parties and birthdays.

433
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: So I called it my aunt for comfort. But boy,

434
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 1: was I right to call her at that moment. Remember

435
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: my cousin that got invited, Well, he wasn't able to

436
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: make it since he is in the military and got

437
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: called for last minute for training, so his fiance went

438
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: in place to represent since he already told her he

439
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: would make it. She got to the house at four pm.

440
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: The time she was told the party was going to start,

441
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: there was no one to be found. The house did

442
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: not look ready for a party. There was nothing indicating

443
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: there was anything going on at the house. My mother

444
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: then comes out to see Angie fake name out front,

445
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what to do. She goes up

446
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: to her with a sour expression, interrogating her about why

447
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: she was there. And this is the convo, Mom, who

448
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: are you, Angie? I'm here for sister's college announcement party. Mom,

449
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: how do you know my sister? Angie, I'm your nephew's fiance.

450
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: I was invited by sister to come. She rolls her

451
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: eyes and walks away from her. Angie is still confused

452
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: because she was never invited inside. She walked up to

453
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: the front door that was cracked, letting herself in, where

454
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: my sister finally came down to greet her. She takes

455
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 1: her into her kitchen to find the food still wasn't

456
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: ready for the party, So my sister puts Angie right

457
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: to work, having her help with putting all the food

458
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,479
Speaker 1: together that was supposed to be ready at four. The

459
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: rest of the night went as it's expected. The party

460
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: didn't start until two hours after the original time, nothing

461
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: was organized and my sister only had our one female cousin, Lisa,

462
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: and Angie's there as her guests. Everyone else was just

463
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: neighbors or friends of my parents. The entire night was

464
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: spent about my mother talking about herself and my dad

465
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: sitting quietly just letting her ramble on. The whole night,

466
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: my mother was making Angie feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Wame

467
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: She decided head out around six point thirty since she

468
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: didn't even know anyone there, and she goes around to

469
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: say goodbyes to everyone before leaving, and then my mother

470
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: then takes this opportunity to corner her in the house

471
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: with no one there and give her advice on what

472
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: she should do with the family going forward, telling her

473
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: that she should cut off the entire family because that

474
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: is what her and my dad did and they had

475
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: never been happier. How are you going to tell someone

476
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: to cut off their entire family, dude.

477
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 2: I also love the like, oh you're a stranger, just

478
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 2: cut off your family, like no context, just like just

479
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: get him out of there. It's great you have no family.

480
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's wild. Hey, don't marry be happy, just

481
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: completely uh, cutting off everyone I know and love.

482
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, once it was Greg. You want to marry

483
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 2: my nephew to have him family, now cut off off,

484
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 2: It's gonna be It's.

485
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: Gonna be great. You know they You know what Buddha says,

486
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: Attachment is a thief of joy. Attached to get unattached.

487
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: Cut off everything, and you will be happy. Desire is suffering.

488
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: Attachments is suffering. But we got get you attached to

489
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: this story, so we're going to keep reading. Telling her

490
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: she should have the wedding at their house instead of

491
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: my story, instead of my aunts. I shouldn't do wedding

492
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: cakes much, but she would for her, and she said

493
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: she would keep all that in mind, running out of

494
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: the house as soon as she could. So party picks

495
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: were just smoke and mirror to what had really happened.

496
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: My sister didn't get the day she wanted about her.

497
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: Now I can remind myself that my family can no

498
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: longer plan successful parties without me in their lives, since

499
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: I was always the one who organized everything. So does

500
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: that make me petty? Sure? But I know our potato

501
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: queen would be pround. Update Holy crap, I did not

502
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: expect this to blow up like it did. Thank you

503
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: to everyone who has given me well wishes and support.

504
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: You all have been asking for an update, and boy

505
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: do I have one. I posted this to get a

506
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: few opinions before I met with my sister for dinner.

507
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: I had told her that since we weren't invited to

508
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: the party, I would take her out for drinks and

509
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: celebrate the news. To be honest, I really just wanted

510
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: to hear what happened at the party. I also received

511
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: a call from my brother the next day after the

512
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: incident to catch up. I don't know how the convo

513
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: got to this, but we had started talking about the

514
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: party without me even asking. Unprovoked, he told me he

515
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: was taking my mom's side on the whole thing. WHOA.

516
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: I asked him why, and he just said it didn't

517
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,479
Speaker 1: sound like something she would say or do. Mind you,

518
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: most of her conversation before bringing this up was him

519
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: complaining about everything she was doing at the house while

520
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: he was back from school. This is how I shut

521
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: him down. Me, So, explain why you're taking her side again, brother,

522
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: I just don't think mom would pull her aside and

523
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: say all that stuff. I don't know. I guess you

524
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: don't know, Mom, me, you spent a majority of this

525
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: conversation about how she's been manipulating you about fixing your car,

526
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: how she's been telling you you can't work on your

527
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: own car that's under your name, and how they aren't

528
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: helping you with something that's their fault. Brother, Yeah, but

529
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: what Angie said just doesn't sound like what Mom would

530
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: say me. So you were there for their private conversation, brother,

531
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 1: will know just sounds like something they wouldn't say me.

532
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: You can't sit here and complain to me about her

533
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: ever again. Then if you honestly think that this is

534
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: something she would never say, you have now lost all

535
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: right to complain about the crazy things she says. Got silence.

536
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: I explained that I really didn't care about what was

537
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: said because I wasn't there. I cared more about keeping

538
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: in contact within, because that's a relationship I chose to

539
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: keep after no contact with my parents. He understood, and

540
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: we left it at that. Now on to dinner, so

541
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: my boyfriend picked me up after he was done with work.

542
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: I prepped him in the car about my sister's behavior,

543
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: telling him about if the conversation isn't something she started

544
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: or is interested in talking about then she will either

545
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: steer the conversation with something else entirely, or just take

546
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: her phone out and not pay attention, which is a

547
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: freaking terrible move.

548
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 2: Such a whack move.

549
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: It was going to be a lot of complaining. Before

550
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: we agreed to meet up for dinner. My sister had

551
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: asked what time and if the place was closer to

552
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: where she works so she could make it on time.

553
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: I picked an old spot I used to work at

554
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: that I knew she had been at before. We agreed

555
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: to meet there at nine forty five. This will be

556
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: important later. At nine twenty five, I got a call

557
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 1: right after I had finished explaining my sister's behavior to

558
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: my boyfriend. It was my sister asking how far away

559
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: we were. I was confused because she was annoyed, making

560
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: it sound like we like she was already at the restaurant.

561
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: I said, we're going to get there at the greed time.

562
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: It's nine twenty five now, so we will get there

563
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: in twenty minutes as agreed. She said she would just

564
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: get a table while she waited and hung up. So

565
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 1: we get there and the parking lot is mostly empty,

566
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: with a few cars in the back. We had a

567
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: perfect spot in front. We started head inside and one

568
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: of the waitresses was outside smoking. She told us that

569
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: they were closed for food for the night, so it's

570
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: only drinks. We were hungry, so we said we would

571
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: go talk to my sister about it when we got inside.

572
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: When we got in, she was nowhere to be found.

573
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: I thought she might be in the bathroom, so I

574
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: called her. When she answered, she told us she wasn't

575
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: there yet. She said that she couldn't find parking. I

576
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: told her the change of plans, even though there was like,

577
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: Hella parking, just meet us at the restaurant I knew

578
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: down the road. I told my boyfriend what was going on,

579
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: and he was so mad. Why did she call us?

580
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: Why did she make it sound like she was here already.

581
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: I didn't have an answer for him, because she's a

582
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: dirty liar. We got there, and she got there before us.

583
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: We sat down and caught up for a bit, talking

584
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: about work, school and family issues. She, just like my brother,

585
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: complained about our mother the majority of the conversation. Everyone's

586
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: freaking complaining, talking about how she didn't help at all

587
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: during the party, how she made it all about herself,

588
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: not once about how proud they were she was going

589
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: back to school. I don't know, I don't feel that

590
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,719
Speaker 1: much sympathy for you because you were trying to steal

591
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: all of the attention from someone's wedding by talking about

592
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: your college release party.

593
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is also Is this the same sister that

594
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: cut cut everyone off?

595
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Yeah, I think this is Op's sister,

596
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: right right, right, So there's Op's mom that cut off

597
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: like the family, and it's like I have never been happy,

598
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: And then there's Opie's sister, and then there's Ope's brother. Yeah,

599
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: and Opie's brother is kind of like golden child. Opie's

600
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: sister wants the attention from their parents, I believe.

601
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and op he's just done with it.

602
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: And op he's just done with it, and it's like

603
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: kind of like taking a step back.

604
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm kind of wondering if we go. It's definitely

605
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: not no contact, like the sister hasn't done anything like

606
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 2: directly super inflammatory, but I wonder if it's just like

607
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 2: trying to sip his go Go juice over there. Oh God,

608
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: I'm not comfortable with your tongue and something orange like that,

609
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 2: but to put some meat on it, like, do we

610
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 2: think he should go like basically, no contact with the sister.

611
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: It seems like she's falling in the same like footsteps

612
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: as the mom and the brother. Like, I don't know

613
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: that it's fruitful to like be the one to initiate.

614
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, I get it. In the middle

615
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: of this, I don't know. I feel like, like, would.

616
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 2: You want to hang out with someone if they were

617
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 2: we're doing this when you're trying to like link up.

618
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: Probably not. I mean it just it feels like like

619
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: you know, princess vibes, you know, yeah, yeah, but we

620
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: got a little bit more so. Then like a machine.

621
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: It sounded as if it was a re heated head

622
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: read re Look, then what is that r s is?

623
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: Got it so rehearsed?

624
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: That's so funny.

625
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: Then like a machine, it sounded as if it was rehearsed.

626
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: Looked at me and said, I don't know what your

627
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: opinion on it is, but I'm taking mom's side on

628
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: what happened. It sounded exactly like what my brother said,

629
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: and if it was rehearsed, it's almost robotic. I had

630
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: a similar conversation almost identical to what I had with

631
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: my brother. Since she knew she didn't have an argument there.

632
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: She then tried to make it seem like the rest

633
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: of the family was bowling her. I asked why she

634
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: thought that, And this was the conversation's sister. When I

635
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: posted this stuff on Instagram and Facebook, no one responded

636
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: to it because it's not engaging enough. Bro. I didn't

637
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: get any congrats or anything. Meat. So, even though you

638
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: told them about it and didn't invite them to party,

639
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: you expected them to be ecstatic about your announcement, Sister,

640
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: I didn't invite them out of respect for Mom and

641
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: Dad since it was their house. Me then have it

642
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: in a park or something. Why did it have to

643
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: be in mom and Dad's if you wanted everyone to

644
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: be there, Plus, you were telling everyone at our cousin's wedding.

645
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: You didn't think that was rude or that people weren't

646
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: going to think that was weird?

647
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 2: Dude, recruiting people for your event. I saw someone's wedding.

648
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's a little that's a bad taste, sister. Well,

649
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: Grammy and Pappy didn't say anything about it. I'm more

650
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: mad at them me. Grammy is literally off the grid

651
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: right now, camping before knee surgery. She has no access

652
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: to the internet, and Pappy is busy winter rising in

653
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: the cabin and making appointments for Grammy's knee surgery. They

654
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: don't have the time or the technology right now to

655
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: respond to something they weren't even invited to in the

656
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: first place. I'm sorry, but the.

657
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: Side flo the grandparents, it's hilarious. She's camping.

658
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: Why was getting so much detail? Dude?

659
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 2: Why would you camp before your knee searchery.

660
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: Because it's your well, because it's your last time to

661
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: like camp before your knees go away. I actually think

662
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: it's it's it's Sauli logic. She got quiet and just

663
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: like a clock, just like clock calm of work, jumped

664
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: right on her phone. I told her I was there

665
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: for her as her older sister, but I can't condone

666
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: the behavior of our parents. That's why I wanted to

667
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: congratulate her with drinks and food. I still want to

668
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: have a good relationship with my siblings. She wasn't having

669
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: it and just said, well, I have to go anyway.

670
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: You're taking care of this right, pointing at the food

671
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: in front of her.

672
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 2: Wow.

673
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: My boyfriend and I just look at each other and

674
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: I said, yes, we got it, gave her a hug,

675
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: and she left us still sitting at the table with

676
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: the freakin' bill. My boyfriend was exhausted and he didn't

677
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: even talk during the dinner, which was a good move, honestly.

678
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: We got back to the car and all he said

679
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: was that was the most exhausting conversation I've ever sat

680
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: in on. But if you want less exhausting COMversations and

681

Speaker 2: That's something you can sit on.

686
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: This morning, I got a text from my aunt letting

687
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: me know that my sister blocked everyone. I checked to

688
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: see if I was included in the block party, and

689
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: sure enough I was. She had only blocked my one account, though,

690
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: and not my second, which is why I knew I

691
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: was blocked, and not that she deleted her account like

692
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: she has done before. I was disappointed with her decision.

693
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: My aunt tried to comfort me, but I told her

694
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: she didn't have to. My sister will just contact me

695
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: back when she needs money from me. Even if that

696
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: does happen, I've decided to go no contact with my

697
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: sister as well. I feel bad for my brother still

698
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: stuck in the situation until he finishes college, but I

699
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: also think he hasn't come to his senses yet. I'm

700
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: just going to keep living my life with my amazing

701
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: boyfriend and my mom's side of the family that I

702
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: had lost for so long. Oh and to give you

703
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: an update on Angie, her and my cousin just asked

704
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: if I could help with the wedding and make the

705
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: cake for them. They just moved in together and I

706
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: couldn't have been more happy for them. Thank you all

707
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: for the well wishes. And we do have some comments.

708
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 3: Cousin Angie.

709
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: Huh, Cousin Angie, we got some comments and a proply

710
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: from OPI. But what do you think about OPI going

711
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,479
Speaker 1: low contacts? Let's no contact with the sister.

712
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 2: I think Opie should not talk to any of these people.

713
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 2: The one thing that Opie should follow in her mom's

714
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 2: footsteps of is cutting off ties with family. Low contact,

715
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 2: low contact, not no contact, but don't initiate trying to

716
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 2: hang out with these people. Don't you know all of

717
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 2: these events and these these college parties and these dinners

718
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 2: and stuff like I'm sorry, any okay, you know what,

719
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this and I'm going to meet it

720
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 2: and I'm not going to take it back. Anyone who

721
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 2: has a college announcement party instant, no contact. Yeah, instant

722
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 2: no context.

723
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: Big ick, big ick, big ick. Not even like a

724
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: it's not even a graduation party, like a high school

725
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: graduation party or like a college graduation party. That's one thing, Yeah,

726
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: but the announcement that you're going to college.

727
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 3: Is like, I don't know, Hey, guys are going to

728
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 3: ex college.

729
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: I guess. I guess like getting into college, you can

730
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: have a getting and you do it.

731
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 2: Like yeah, I'm actually completely walking back now because I

732
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 2: feel like a part of the graduation.

733
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: Party is like, yeah, they're going blah blah blah.

734
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 2: You know, they'll give you the freaking flag and like

735
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 2: whatever else. You know, Like, yeah, it's kind it's kind

736
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 2: of baked into the graduation party.

737
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: So maybe I feel like but like I feel like

738
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: you have parties for finishing a job, not starting a job.

739
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: You know, like you have retirement parties, but you don't

740
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: have like I started a new job party you know,

741
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: or I got like a cool new job party. I

742
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 1: guess maybe people to dinner and so yeah, but you'll

743
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: have a party you go out for like drinks or dinner.

744
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's more of like a like a uh one

745
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 2: on one close people selling in the circle, like whooah. College,

746
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 2: you know you flash everyone?

747
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: You don't do that. I don't know. I flash people

748
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: when I got this job. Almost flash every day. Oh yeah,

749
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: but we got some comments, so wow. Talk about main

750
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: character syndrome. Also, what the heck is a college reveal party?

751
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 1: And reply? It's a revealed or show how many colleges

752
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: didn't actually want her? Oh nice, firstplied, so good? What

753
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: the f is wrong with your mother? Reply? Sounds like

754
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: textbook narcissistic traits from dear old mom, and sis is

755
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: the golden child? Well, op would be a year old scapegoat.

756
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: They are who to blame for all ills. No context

757
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: is the best solution for such things, and op can

758
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: rest assured that the cousins will likely tap them in

759
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: the future for cakes and party planning. Poor Angie, though

760
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: she got slapped in the face with a dose of

761
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: cray and that is where that episode ends. Nope, that

762
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: is where that story ends, but not the episode because

763
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: we got another story. Sam. Here, We're gonna get back

764
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: to the stories. But here's three minutes bads from our sponsors.

765
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 2: My best friend always ditches us for her boyfriends, so

766
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 2: I refuse to tender wedding.

767
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, ditch her. Yeah the day that means the most.

768
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 2: That's gotta hurt. Well, just a heads up. English is

769
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 2: not my first language, and this will probably have a

770
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 2: lot of grammar errors. It's cool. A little background is needed,

771
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 2: So here we go. I had twenty three female had

772
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 2: three best friends in high school. Had We were in

773
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 2: the same class during middle school and high school, so

774
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 2: we stuck together after graduation. I'll name them Kelly, Nancy,

775
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 2: and Ellie. The problem started when Ellie got her first

776
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 2: boyfriend ever. By the way, this comes from that one

777
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 2: writer on the r slash Okay storytime supparate a oh.

778
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: That means that this is this is one of our own, y'all,

779
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 1: This is one of our.

780
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: Own, So treat them with some mother fricking respect.

781
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: Put some respect on their names.

782
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 2: That's right. Treat them so well, because this absolutely came

783
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 2: from our community. She was always a good friend up

784
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 2: until that point. She would be distant from the rest

785
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 2: of us, even ghost us when we asked if she

786
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 2: wanted to go out. Unfortunately, her parents didn't approve of

787
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 2: the guy. Mind you, we were thirteen at this point,

788
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 2: so she broke up with him and returned to her

789
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 2: old self. That was the first time that she had

790
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 2: acted that way, but it was the last. Every boyfriend

791
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 2: she had was this cycle starts with dating, avoids us,

792
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 2: breaks up, remembers that we exist, and so on. We

793
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 2: always called her out on this behavior and Ellie would

794
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 2: promise not to ditch us again the next time, but

795
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 2: she never changed until her long term ex boyfriend. They

796
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 2: started dating a few months after me and my boyfriend

797
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 2: now husband.

798
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 1: Nice.

799
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 2: That guy, let's call him Jay, was good for her.

800
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: Was good for her.

801
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 2: My family knew him and liked him. His family went

802
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 2: to the same church as hers, so he had the

803
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 2: parents approval. He's certified, big, certified freak. Oh yeah, by

804
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 2: the streets of God. At this point, we were seventeen

805
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 2: years old, Ellie's the youngest. She was sixteen. Jay was

806
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 2: a good guy who always encouraged her to go out

807
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 2: with us or is making double slash triple date plans.

808
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 2: Kelly also had a boyfriend, but Ellie would just find

809
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 2: a way to cancel last minute or just not show up.

810
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty, Elly and I had a childish fight

811
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 2: and cut off from each other, but I kept in

812
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 2: contact with Nancy and Ellie, more so Nancy though after

813
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 2: graduation we all kind of moved on with our lives.

814
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 2: I started working, Kelly had her baby, got pregnant our

815
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 2: senior year well, and got married to the baby daddy.

816
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 2: Nancy was also a working a lot, and Ellie started

817
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,439
Speaker 2: a nursing program because she wanted to be a nurse.

818
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: So they're all the other friends are just going their

819
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: separate ways, going going their separate ways. But it sounds

820
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: like Ellie the so so my understanding of what's happening

821
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: right now is Ellie is like the problem friend that

822
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: every time she gets a boyfriend just is a flake.

823
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: Is that correct? Yeah?

824
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 2: And Nancy and Kelly they're cool.

825
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: Nancy, Kelly is cool, but but they all have they've

826
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 1: all spread out posts post college. Yeah.

827
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 2: The other three, including OPI are like, yo, Ellie, why

828
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 2: you always abandoned us?

829
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: And She's like to be fair, like I feel like,

830
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's common when people get get significant others.

831
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: They want you want to spend some time with your hubby.

832
00:39:58,280 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: That's true, you know, that's true.

833
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 2: But the three of us would always find time for

834
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 2: each other at least one movie night every month. Then

835
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 2: I got engaged and Ellie and Jay broke up. They

836
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 2: were still seeing each other sometimes, but never actually got

837
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 2: back together. I asked Nancy to be my maid of

838
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 2: honor and Ellie to be a bride'smaid. When I asked her,

839
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 2: I told her that she would be walking down the

840
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 2: aisle with my cousin. She agreed with my terms that

841
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 2: were the following. If they got back together, she would

842
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 2: inter with my cousin. If she got another boyfriend, she

843
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 2: would still enter with my cousin.

844
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So so basically, like, regardless what happens, you're

845
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: pair with the cousin.

846
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't I think she's afraid of I hate like

847
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 2: her getting boyfriend fever.

848
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: And like and then and then like and then dipping out.

849
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, which, like I mean, I don't know about walking

850
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 2: down the aisles necessary. It's more of like a symptom

851
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 2: rather than the cau.

852
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 1: The root, you know, Maybeah, what do you mean?

853
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 2: Like is she is she like, oh, if you get

854
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 2: the boyfriend and walk with the boyfriend down the aisle,

855
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 2: there will be all these problems, lums and all of.

856
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: These things where it's like, but isn't she a bridesmaid.

857
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 2: She's a bridesmaid.

858
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, but you're not gonna walk the boyfriend down

859
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: the boyfriend isn't a groomsman. That's true. I think I

860
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 1: think she was following.

861
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 2: I think whenever they walk beside each other down.

862
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so like like because like when yeah yeah,

863
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: So she basically she's like, hey, if you get a boyfriend,

864
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: you better not flake because this is an important position

865
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: and I want you walking down that aisle with my cousin.

866
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: That's a good point.

867
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 2: The last time I was at a wedding, I hurt

868
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 2: myself while using Heeli's So you can guess Healey's what

869
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 2: ah I was? Yeah, I was using heelis on the

870
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 2: dance floor.

871
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: What I mean? We got some heelie, didn't We get

872
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: some heelies, like not too long ago, but they never

873
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 1: sent me them. You never got them.

874
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 2: I filled out the form, no way, they treated me

875
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:42,919
Speaker 2: like chopped frickin' lit dude.

876
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: I got hella Heeliy's I think I got like two heelies.

877
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably got his heeli's size twelve was crazy.

878
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: They spelled my name j o h.

879
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 2: They must be Bulgarian or something. So Ellie agreed to this,

880
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 2: even joked about going out with my cousin.

881
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna enter with my cousin, Then my cousin's

882
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: going to enter into you. Hey yo, whoa? It happens.

883
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 2: Fast forward to five months before my wedding, Ellie starts

884
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 2: dating a new guy from her church. At first, he

885
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 2: looks like a good guy, but Nancy and I started

886
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 2: to notice the pattern again, the avoidance, the cancelation of plants. No,

887
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 2: the random disappearance.

888
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: No, she's going into the boyfriend bubble.

889
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 2: Where is she take her out?

890
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 3: Gone?

891
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 2: She is.

892
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: She's a goner. She's a goner sometimes, you know, you

893
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: lose a lot of good men and women to the

894
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: boyfriend bubble.

895
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 2: That's true, suck to many a person.

896
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: They do be sucking. They do be sucking. Whoa you

897
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: know all also all the new all the new toys

898
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: that they have, they have suck features, you know, so

899
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 1: everyone's getting a little suck these.

900
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 2: That's not where I thought you were going. We called

901
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 2: her out on it. I'm reading this right now from

902
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 2: my own hand, my own yellow orange arms. Why did

903
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 2: I say yellow? I don't know, but we called her

904
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 2: out on it. Ellie said it was just a lot

905
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 2: of pressure at church and the nursing program. Then she

906
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 2: dropped the nursing program.

907
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: Okay, she disappeared from her own Oh wow, she's bubbling.

908
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 2: She's committing to disappear.

909
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 1: She is bubblin'.

910
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 2: Oh my, she's gonna end up on some milk curtains

911
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 2: the way she's disappearing like this. So she said she

912
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 2: couldn't be a nurse, even though she seems so eager

913
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 2: to be working working on it just a few months prior.

914
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 2: The thing about the plans we made as a group

915
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 2: was she would never call her text anyone. She just

916
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 2: didn't show up or pick up her phone when we

917
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 2: called her. I got worried about my wedding. I had

918
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 2: this bad feeling about Ellie, so I asked Nancy to

919
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 2: pry a little, and she did. Ellie was really thinking

920
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 2: that it was just because she had a new boyfriend.

921
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 2: He would be a groomsman at my wedding with her.

922
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, freakin' right, we don't know this guy this guy

923
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: could suck and not in the good way. Who he

924
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: could suck in a bad way, and we don't want

925
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: him here?

926
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 2: Is there a bad way to say?

927
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: In what world does a boyfriend of a grooms like

928
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: a significant other of a groomsman or Brian's maid get

929
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 1: automatically added to the wedding party? In what world?

930
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 3: Hey, he's from church, the groom doesn't have any good friends?

931
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 3: Whoa true and they hit it off instantaneously?

932
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, first, that's true. That's true in that case, that's

933
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: that's the only case I could.

934
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, the people getting married got gotta be saying that.

935
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy.

936
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 2: I don't even know him. She spent two hours begging

937
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 2: me to change my plans. But at this point, my

938
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 2: cousin had canceled a vacation just to be there for me,

939
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 2: and nor me or my fiance knew this guy that

940
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 2: she was dating. When I finally met him, he was

941
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 2: super rude, talked about how he didn't know my character

942
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 2: or my plans. When I paired his girlfriend with my cousin,

943
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 2: I reminded him and her that she was single when

944
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 2: she agreed to do it, even if a new guy

945
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 2: got in the picture. At this point, I just wanted

946
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 2: to get her out of the wedding party, but I didn't.

947
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 2: I couldn't throw away nine years of friendship like this.

948
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 2: Apparently she could. The last time I saw the guy

949
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 2: was at my wedding a year ago. Now, then this year,

950
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 2: Ellie just stopped talking to us, even Kelly. I even

951
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 2: joked that it would be easier Kelly and I talk

952
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 2: again and resolve things between us. Before Kellye realized that

953
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 2: her boyfriend didn't like us. Her phone is always on

954
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 2: his pocket. He knows when we're calling and just doesn't

955
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 2: tell her whoa. He became the reason that she didn't

956
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,479
Speaker 2: show up. Now he would take her out, purposely hold

957
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 2: her until it was too late to go out with us.

958
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: Oh so he's going, He's going, Hella controlling? Yes, Like,

959
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: oh no, honestly, Like at this point, I'm like, do

960
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: I want Do I ever want to make plans with

961
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 1: this person? They're so flaky and.

962
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 2: She's done this like it's one thing to do it

963
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 2: when you were like they were like thirteen, when yeah, right,

964
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 2: this is nine years later. Yeah, I guess they ick big,

965
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 2: very big twenty two. Still, dude, who let the freaking

966
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 2: dogs out?

967
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: Oh?

968
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 2: My gosh, that was fantastic. Then Kelly finds out that

969
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 2: Ellie was engaged to this guy. Yeah, she told Nancy,

970
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 2: who told me. And at this point, the snowball just

971
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 2: kept growing.

972
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: This is so bad that her life's over.

973
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ellie made up a thousand excuses to explain why

974
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 2: she hadn't told us about the engagement, why we wouldn't

975
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 2: be bridesmaids. Then she started to give different motives to

976
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 2: each of us.

977
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: She told me they're not going to be bridesmaids at

978
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: her wedding. What other friends that she have? That's the question.

979
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 2: This is like, this is like the Core four, this

980
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 2: is there.

981
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: You four is a great name. You know, there's a.

982
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 2: Little sisterhood of traveling pants type freaking vibes over here.

983
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 1: The Core four loves this Core for four. It's cool.

984
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: That's kind of cool, the Core Like that's fun. I'm

985
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: so glad I could be we should utilize this within

986
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: our I mean, who's Core four.

987
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,359
Speaker 2: We've said that before? Oh dude, you said the Core

988
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 2: four before. Yeah, I've said the corepoor Core four before,

989
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 2: Like more more.

990
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: Than have you said that going through this door?

991
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 2: I mean Core four before I explored going through the

992
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 2: corridor with more four before you know, yeah.

993
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: Oh that was great, that was great. That the best

994
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: possible way. Yeah, so back to back to this core four. Okay.

995
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 2: So she told Kelly that she wanted only people who

996
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 2: likes the couple, then proceeded to say that Nancy and

997
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 2: I don't like the groom, asking only Kelly would strain

998
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 2: the dynamics.

999
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: Of the trio.

1000
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 2: Then she came to my house. Mm Ellie said to

1001
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,720
Speaker 2: me that they only wanted married couples. Nancy a single

1002
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 2: who had been married for a long time. I had

1003
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 2: been married for seven months at that point. When I

1004
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 2: mentioned Kelly, she said, oh, you know how the relationship started.

1005
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 2: That's not an example of a marriage that we want.

1006
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:57,439
Speaker 1: WHOA.

1007
00:47:58,200 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 2: That's not a nice thing to say.

1008
00:47:59,680 --> 00:47:59,879
Speaker 1: WHOA.

1009
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 2: I recorded parts of this conversation, got Kelly's number and

1010
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 2: told her everything in a group call with Nancy, and

1011
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 2: we basically decided to not attend the wedding. Oh baby,

1012
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 2: all that and we think that we wouldn't even be

1013
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 2: invited if Kelly didn't find out about the engagement. To

1014
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 2: top it all off, Ellie's fiance convinced her to change

1015
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 2: everything she picked for the wedding. And basically copied mine.

1016
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 2: The wedding happened a few weeks ago, one day before

1017
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 2: my wedding anniversary, one day.

1018
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: Do you think. I don't know if they did that

1019
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: on purpose.

1020
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 2: It is possible, it's a coincidence. It is possible. Yeah,

1021
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 2: one day before their wedding would be complete.

1022
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: That would be on purpose. But wedding anniversary, I don't

1023
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: know if that's.

1024
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 2: Like, could be an accident. But this guy also still

1025
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 2: sucks a lot. It sucks a big dime, big suck,

1026
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 2: big suck.

1027
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: Yep.

1028
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,760
Speaker 2: They booked their wedding a day before mine, quote unquote.

1029
00:48:57,920 --> 00:48:59,919
Speaker 2: My father said that the only reason they didn't book

1030
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:02,280
Speaker 2: the same date was because they wanted a Sunday wedding

1031
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 2: and my anniversary fell on them on a Monday. By

1032
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 2: the way, if there's a day that falls on a

1033
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 2: day that ends with why, you can go to Spotify,

1034
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,320
Speaker 2: Apple Podcasts, or your favorite podcast app and listen to

1035
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,800

1037
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: Of straight content allegedly one hundred and four.

1038
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 2: Some much chat commented and said it was forty seven.

1039
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 2: We don't really know the truth.

1040
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: To be honest.

1041
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 2: No, yep, they did the math. Okay, but we are

1042
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 2: imminently approaching into the story. I think that we should

1043
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 2: just cut Elle off. I mean, is that is that fair?

1044
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I feel like she's kind of mean.

1045
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: It sucks because she's I mean, it seems like she's

1046
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,919
Speaker 1: going into this this whole of a freaking despair. That's true.

1047
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 2: That's a good point.

1048
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: Good point, you know. I think. I think you gotta

1049
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: kind of gotta let people live their life. That's true. Hey, oh.

1050
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 2: Well, let's get in this lost part. So when I

1051
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 2: told my husband all about this, he said that maybe

1052
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 2: she is being manipulated and really wanted us to be there,

1053
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 2: but no one forced her to say the things she said.

1054
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 2: At my house alone and away from the fiance. She

1055
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 2: wanted to talk crap about Kelly, thinking that I would

1056
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 2: agree that I would never tell her it because we

1057
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 2: were on bad terms. I know we were right for

1058
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 2: not going. She did this to our friendship, But I

1059
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 2: guess I'm warning the friendship now and having second thoughts

1060
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 2: about the whole situation. This girl used to say my

1061
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:27,839
Speaker 2: mother was her mother too. I was the one who

1062
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 2: came crying as she came crying too when she realized

1063
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 2: that Jay would break up with her. She was the

1064
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 2: only one of us who never had a fight with

1065
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 2: the others. Now she has lost all of us at once.

1066
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 2: So am I the ahole for not going to her wedding?

1067
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 2: Close this out, Sam, yes or no? No?

1068
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: Agreed?

1069
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 3: No?

1070
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 1: Cut her off. She doesn't deserve it. That's crazy, that's it.

1071
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 1: But hey, we've enjoyed it. We've enjoyed our time with you.

Speaker 1: pregnancy test in the bedroom to catch my husband's mom snooping.

1082
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 2: You know that's uh not a good trick to play,

1083
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 2: but uh, we'll say it's a great trick to play.

1084

Speaker 1: Ooh, I like that trick plot twist. I think if

1085
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:27,399
Speaker 1: you want a little bit more positive in your life.

1086
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: But those pregnancy tests everywhere. Let him snoop, let him

1087
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: see the positivity. Oh yeah, I'm be like, oh, we're

1088
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 1: having a kid, Bammed. I know you're not having a kid.

1089
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 1: You're going to Jail're trespassing, let's go. My mother in

1090
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: law moved in with us a month ago. I began

1091
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: to notice my stuff in the bedroom being touched, furniture, rearranged,

1092
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: stuff moved at, et cetera. I felt like I was

1093
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: going crazy because my husband is the only one who

1094
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 1: has access to the bedroom. Yeah he does, and he

1095
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: doesn't really usually touch nor come near my things, but

1096
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: you know he comes near my thighs. You know I'm talking.

1097
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 2: About wooh semen.

1098
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 1: You know. Let I figured out?

1099
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 2: What did you figure out?

1100
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: It must be his mother walking in snooping on my

1101
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: personal things. I told my husband and he said his

1102
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: mom would never I had a huge hunch. But I

1103
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: couldn't install a camera in the bedroom to catch her

1104
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:14,439
Speaker 1: in the act.

1105
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 2: Couldn't.

1106
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: So guess what I did, John, what'd she do? I

1107
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: got one of those fake positive pregnancy tests. Ooh, and

1108
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 1: I clew it in the bedroom trash can.

1109
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:24,280
Speaker 2: Kind of genius.

1110
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,760
Speaker 1: Note the trash can is placed near the corner closet.

1111
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:28,320
Speaker 2: Literally.

1112
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: The next day, after I got to work, I got

1113
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: tons of calls and texts from my in laws could

1114
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 1: congratulating me on my pregnancy. My husband came to my

1115
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,839
Speaker 1: workplace and was all worked up about it, asking since

1116
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: when I was pregnant and why I didn't tell him.

1117
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: I asked how he found out, and he said his

1118
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: mom found the positive test in the trash can in

1119
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: the bedroom. Sounds like she was snooping, snooping. I asked

1120
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 1: if his answer just confirmed that she's been snooping in

1121
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: the bedroom all along, and then he had the realization

1122
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: of mom, but demanded we stick to the bigger issue.

1123
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 2: I said, guess what, big dog, There ain't no other

1124
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 2: big issue, ain't no bunz in his sven n h.

1125
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 1: The positive test was a fake and the whole thing

1126
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: was a ruse done to expose my mother in law snooping.

1127
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 1: He was not convinced. He had me take an actual

1128
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: test right in front of him. Oh my god, turns

1129
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 1: out I actually am pregnant.

1130
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 2: Kidding you got me?

1131
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: And he was living, asking how I can lie about

1132
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: such a thing and break his mom's heart since I

1133
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: know very well she longs for children. Once again. I

1134
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: got a lot of shit because of this from him.

1135
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: His mom and family are now calling me a liar

1136
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: and a manipulator.

1137
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:54,919
Speaker 2: The eye hole. You know, No, could you have picked

1138
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 2: a different thing? Sure, I mean she probably should have

1139
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 2: picked a different thing because she threw away a pregnantancy test,

1140
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 2: a fake pregnancy test. Yeah, but it's like someone shouldn't

1141
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 2: go be going through anyway, like that's that's the thing.

1142
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 2: So it's like, also, like what, I don't even I

1143
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:11,800
Speaker 2: can't even think of what else she could.

1144
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: You could do?

1145
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 2: Maybe no, she wouldn't pick up a note. Don't snoop, Grandma, grandma, grandma,

1146
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 2: please stop snooping. Get please out of here, Get out

00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 2: Cold War?

Speaker 1: How does she know?

1199
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:04,000

1200
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 2: the cheek at the bar. Wait, what attempting to drag

1201

00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:13,760
Speaker 2: She has a huge crush on him and it's created

1203
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 2: issues in past relationships. Oh that is uh, that's rough,

1204
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 2: bro Red flags. Red flags may mayon and also like

1205
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 2: the fact that the boyfriend isn't shutting it down like

1206
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 2: that's that's also a red flag. Exactly slights foreshadowing. So

Speaker 2: I've had my guard up, guys, I can imagine Opie

00:57:58,240 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: No.

1216
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 2: I kept calling for one minute while internally flipping out,

1217
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:06,439
Speaker 2: and then my boyfriend appeared on the phone. What thought

1232
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 2: made me feel hurt and disappointed in him. After he

1233
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 2: promised me no drama and that his lady friend wouldn't

1234
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 2: be involved in our lives.

1235
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:57,080

00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 2: He then told me I was attacking his character. He

1239
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 2: said I should never challenge him like this and insult

1240
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:18,960

1242
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 2: I told him I was disappointed in him and I

1243
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 2: thought he would make better choices. He took this as disrespect.

1244
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm imagining this in a Russian accent. That a Russian accent.

1245
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 2: I can't believe you believe the like vled Mira assassin Chris?

1246
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 2: How good? You fine? Now? Was I really being disrespectful?

1247
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 2: Would you personally put up with this?

Speaker 2: Vladimir's rate bro Vladimir's red Rage. And it's like cherry flavored.

1254
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 2: Maybe we should just like we still do, okop. But

1255
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 2: basically it's all upfront for a Russian like red bull.

1256
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like we make it in Russia, so

1257

Speaker 1: like steroids, oh for sure.

1259
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 2: And what's addictive? What's the math? Math is addictive?

01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 1: Op.

1268
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 2: He goes on to say, if this really is disrespect,

1269
01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 2: then I have a lot to learn in which I

1270
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 2: would do so willingly. So please let me know.

1271
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 1: Wow, I love like the openness of growth, growth mindset, Opie.

1272
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 1: Let's see it.

1273
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 2: Yes, and OPI has an update, an update, so.

1274
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 1: So they basically they pranked them, frank them, yes, and uh,

1275
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: and that we don't really have a resolution until update now, ok.

1276
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 2: I read your comments and I agree. Last night He

1277
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 2: continued to say he wouldn't let any woman challenge him

1278
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 2: or disrespect him like I was apparently doing.

1279
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 1: Wow, what a guy sounds like? This lady friend is

1280
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: whispering in this boyfriend's ear. Sweet nothing.

1281
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 2: I told him I won't accept this is I need

1282
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 2: to be able to discuss how I feel. I told him,

1283
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 2: he is continuing to flip this on me, and I

1284
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 2: find it very sad he can't just apologize or communicate

1285
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 2: with me properly.

1286
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, apologize, bro.

1287
01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, at least communicate the.

1288
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 1: Broom spooch boom.

1289
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 2: He said, he can go really far and just stop

1290
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 2: contacting me.

1291
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 1: Wow. Whatever, he's looking for an excuse to break up

1292
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: with her because he cheated on her.

1293
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 2: I asked him to stop acting like this and understand

1294
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 2: I am actually hurt over this, to which he said

1295
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 2: he didn't care. I was still challenging him.

1296
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 1: What a.

1297
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 2: What a ding dong?

1298
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: What a ding dong?

1299
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 2: God like? How Either you're immensely stupid or you're hiding something. Yeah, something,

1300
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 2: The old man has some secrets of his sleeve. He

1301
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 2: hung up and wouldn't pick up the phone again, so

1302
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 2: I blocked him on my phone. Every single other app

1303
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 2: as well, I also removed the friend, the lady friend

1304
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 2: he was on vacation with, so he can be single

1305
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 2: and come home to an empty place. I guess they

1306
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:00,479
Speaker 2: were living together.

1307
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 1: Wow, they were living together.

1308
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 2: It seems so After the overwhelming response, I've made my decision.

1309
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,919
Speaker 2: I've had good sleep and time to calm down. I've

1310
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 2: realized that this is not the man for me and

1311
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 2: not someone I could ever marry. It's sound straight, sister,

1312
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 2: Come on, tell them it's sad to say. It's sad

1313
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 2: to say, but it's best. It happened now after a

1314
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 2: few months versus a couple of years down the line.
