1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: My mom left me one hundred and fifty thousand dollars,

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: but my brother took it to keep it safe.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 2: That story is the first of three fanc of it

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 2: inherited stories that.

5
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 3: Were covering to me and John.

6
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: We're going to try to guess who lost the inheritance

7
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: and which fan actually kept the money. Let's go, one

8
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: of these people might be rich, so sniff out the

9
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: rich the richie the money. So I thirty five female

10
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: have been living through a series of unfortunate events ever

11
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: since my mom passed away the morning of New Year's

12
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: Eve nineteen ninety nine. By the way, this comes from

13
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: Courtney on the r slash Okay storytime subreddit. My mom,

14
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: Jolan forty at the time of death, was my best

15
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: friend and the only gentle parental figure I would ever

16
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: have in my life. She could start a conversation with

17
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: absolutely anyone about anything. She was that waitress who remembered

18
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: your name, your mom's name, your dog's name, and your

19
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: exact order.

20
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 4: Wow.

21
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,319
Speaker 3: I can't even remember my own name.

22
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: It was just her and I for as long as

23
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: I could remember, though. She did have two children in

24
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: a previous marriage. Brian forty five, mail Is eleven years

25
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,199
Speaker 1: older and Danny forty three. Mail is seven years older

26
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: than me. That's important for later, So remember that. I

27
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: remember that. Don't forget. They chose to go live with

28
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: their dad because of the tumultuous relationship they had with

29
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: our mother, which I found out about later. While we

30
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: had the same mom, we had completely different relationships with her.

31
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: In their experience, her boyfriends were always awful to them,

32
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: while my experience, she always protected me. She continuously had

33
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: poor taste in men, and that's a huge fault I

34
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: found in her as a parent. But at least in

35
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: the end, she married for money and my stepdad was

36
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: only financially abusive. There we go, Hey, that's a win.

37
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: I guess that's a win. Well, which is financially abusive

38
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: me and I guess.

39
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: That's really one gent gotta dance for this.

40
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: He left my mom and I to live in our

41
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: trailer on his property and toil my mom could afford

42
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: to get us out of there. The night before New

43
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: Year's Eve, my brother Brian called me and said our

44
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: mom was in an accident and he would be there

45
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: soon to take care of me. I then found out

46
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: it died. I was devastated. That's like one tragigy after

47
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: At this point, I had heard nothing about an inheritance,

48
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: right forgot like that was so.

49
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 3: With story that I'm just like, Oh, we're just We're

50
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 3: just here.

51
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: We're just here, We're still here. We're just to suffering.

52
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: It's sad. It's sad.

53
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: But I mean, who would think of that as the

54
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 3: first thing.

55
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I would, I would get inheritance.

56
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: I think that would be like so far from my mind. Yeah,

57
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: but maybe it's not like rich kids' minds. At this point,

58
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: I heard nothing about an inheritance. Where did this leave

59
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: eleven year old me? You asked, Well, the options were

60
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: presented to me as I could either live with my father,

61
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: who I had only met once in my life the

62
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: previous summer before my mom died, or my oldest brother Bryan.

63
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: Because they're like eleven years older than I see.

64
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 1: Could I see you in the chat if you see

65
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: where this is going? Do you do you? I see?

66
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if I see you, I see?

67
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: Do you want me to show you my conspiracy theory?

68
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: In my head? I think OP does stand to inherit

69
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: some money goes and lives with the brother and the

70
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: brothers like you're you're you're too small and little. You

71
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: don't really understand how to manage this money. Let me

72
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: let me take it over.

73
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: You don't know what to do with the one hundred

74
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: and fifty k I do.

75
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: One had step and half siblings, while the other a

76
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: path free from strict parental controls the brother but still,

77
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: by seeing my mom, I sought the nuclear family life,

78
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: which led me to my dad and unfortunately, my evil

79
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: step mom making you clean the chimney and.

80
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: Can get a ride in the pumpkin.

81
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: That sounds weird.

82
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: It is Halloween.

83
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: It is Halloween, ye, right, the pumpkin. After horrible treatment

84
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: for my stepmom, I was finally told that I would

85
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: be going to visit my brothers in Arizona. So I

86
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: packed a bag with all the things I couldn't leave without,

87
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: and the very next night, my father packed me up

88
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: in a truck without saying a word to anyone in

89
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: the house and drop me off into so Oh My

90
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: just ship opr Courtney's Just Now at a brother's man

91
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: sucks is crazy? Yeah at my brother's. Brian quickly noticed

92
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: how manipulative my step mom was. When I got there,

93
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: she was screening our phone calls and unhooking the phone

94
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: so it would ring as a busy signal for hours.

95
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: Trying to make return plans was seemingly impossible, which was

96
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: fine with me. I guess op was having such a

97
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: terrible life.

98
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like, do I even want to go about it?

99
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: Exactly? Yeah. Ultimately, after a conversation between my brother and father,

100
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: my father granted limited guardianship to Brian. Brian is the stepbrother.

101
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: Gotcha right, Yeah, the other step.

102
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: Brother, right fiah brother brother brother, half brother, half brother. Brian, however,

103
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: complained saying it wasn't enough and that he should be

104
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: getting full custody as he had me full time. My

105
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: father refused us, only allowing the minimum to enroll me

106
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: into school and get other basic needs like healthcare and

107
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: food stamp. Well, here is where the inheritance comes from.

108
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: Here we go, Why we're here, Why we're here? The money.

109
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: A few years go by, and my brother was the

110
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: only stable adult in my life. He helped me get

111
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: a job, by my first car, et cetera. But the

112
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: year before I turned eighteen, my brother asked me about

113
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: the money Mom left me after she died. What money?

114
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: I had no idea what he was talking about. He said,

115
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: your father must still have it. No, No, I took

116
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: the money.

117
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 3: I don't like that. He doesn't like that.

118
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: Absent father.

119
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 3: I mean he put her in a truck and drop

120
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: graf at Arizona.

121
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, well now he's absent. He was he was kind

122
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: of there trans transpretation father, Yeah. Father. So he called

123
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: my dad and he said the money was in an

124
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: interest save account and he wanted to keep it there

125
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: for as long as possible until I needed it.

126
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: Okay, gambling is not an interest savings account.

127
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: True.

128
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 3: Okay, it's called blackjack.

129
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: Have you heard of it?

130
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 3: Super high yields when I play as.

131
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: Good as ted am Aritrade, any of those high interests

132
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: yield savings accounts. My brother was not happy about that.

133
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: Brian said, I deserve to have that money at eighteen

134
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: so I could move out and start college. Seems like

135
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: Brian's kind of advocating for Yeah, I.

136
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 5: Mean, so far, it seems that Brian has been also

137
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 5: at what twenty.

138
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 3: Two or so?

139
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: No, because now Brian, Brian is what like what seven

140
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: seven years older? Years older? She's she's seventeen, so it's

141
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: like twenty oh, yes, twenty five twenty five. He's a

142
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: good bit older I have twenty seven.

143
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 5: But so so far, so far, it seems like he's

144
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 5: been a caregiver she's had since.

145
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: Mister mom, I can't imagine I'm taking care of a

146
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: seventeen year old right now. That'd be crazy, like.

147
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: A kid brother, the kid brother. Have I had to

148
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: take care of one of my kids others?

149
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: Oh?

150
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 3: Crazy?

151
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: Yeah?

152
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you do it right now, show up

153
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: at your doorstep.

154
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: I wouldn't want to do what I would have to.

155
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: They argued back and forth about it, but eventually my

156
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: dad caved and signed over the money. Let's go ww

157
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: after which Brian and I agreed to put it in

158
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: a joint saving these account so it could build interest.

159
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: He called it my futurinist. Oh that's cute. That's cute.

189
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: was like a little bit like too intense.

190
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd be like, yo, you passed that.

191
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me take a big kid. But this is

192
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: probably like in a time where we wasn't legal.

193
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 2: Yeah.

194
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: I moved back in with my brother, but then my

195
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: ex told my brother what happened. Brian tested me and

196
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: when it came up hot for THHC, he kicked Wait

197
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: wait wait, wait wait wait.

198
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 3: Courtney was living with her boyfriend at the time. That's

199
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 3: who kicked.

200
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't look in the bathroom. I got an animal

201
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: in there.

202
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: Actually, what is that? Don't worry about it. I moved

203
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: back in with my brother, but then my ex told

204
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: my brother what happened. Brian tested me half brother, and

205
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: when it came up hot for THHC, he kicked me out.

206
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: So I guess Courtney was was smoking a little bit

207
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: of lettuce on hiatus. Thus began a period of CouchSurfing

208
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: until my brother agreed to help me with my savings

209
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: and getting an apartment as long as I got a

210
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: job and stayed in school. Also, I feel like Brian

211
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: is kind of trying to do what's best as much

212
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: as he knows how, you know, Like it is like

213
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: super harsh, but I feel like he's actually trying to

214
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: like help Courtney.

215
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 5: Like he it's what he thinks is best given his

216
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 5: past record up to now.

217
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like like like he feels like it's

218
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: like tough love, you know. In addition, he asked for

219
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: a matching amount to invest in his business adventures, returning

220
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: what was borrowed with interest.

221
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: I knew it.

222
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: That is the big old butt.

223
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: Damn, dude, I have been dead left and I'm so

224
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,000

225
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: like borrowing the money. Oh, he has from the inheritance

226
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,800

Speaker 1: If you ask me a deal, let's steal steal of

254
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: a deal. Originally I thought that sounded great. I got

255
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: my first apartment in a new job, until out of nowhere,

256
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: I was being evicted for not paying rent and fired

257
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: at my job, and once again I was flung into

258
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 1: a cycle of CouchSurfing and homeless youth programs. Wait, wait,

259
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: what happened?

260
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 3: I'm I'm gonna guess it was like the brother handling what.

261
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: I feel like we're we're missing something because it was like,

262
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: sounded great, first job, first apartment, and then out of

263
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: nowhere getting evicted for not paying rent. Courtney what happened?

264
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 4: He said he was going to pay for a year

265
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 4: of rent and I was working and before I got

266
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 4: fired from my job, I was served.

267
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: Oh, because you thought he was paying, Cody wasn't paying.

268
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: That sucks. Eventually I was able to complete my ge,

269
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: start college life, and reconnect with my family, but all

270
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: the while I was still trying to get access to

271
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: my inheritance.

272
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 3: Good brother went bad and we have an update.

273
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: We have an update on this, but we have two

274
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: more stories to get through before we get into that update.

275
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: But right now, it's not looking good for Courtney to

276
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,359
Speaker 1: get It's not in heritage.

277
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: Outsurfing, no money, it's not wired.

278
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 3: If it's, if it's.

279
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 5: I'm guessing if Brian's maybe taking it, he's taking it.

280
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 5: He's already he's already spent it on something. So that's

281
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 5: that's gonna be my guess as of right now. And

282
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 5: if he indeed has already already spent it, the lengths

283
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 5: at which you you're trying to go to uh get it,

284
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 5: get it.

285
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: Back or like yeah forward or whatever, I like, I

286
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: guess you would just have to like take the pitch

287
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: deck you spent one hundred and fifty grand on and

288
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: pitch uber for toilets to investor.

289
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 3: You just gotta you just got to carry it out.

290
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: You've got to you got to carry the mantle. That's

291
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: the only path forward. Yeah, path forward is through, is

292
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: out is through the door to the toilet, to the toilet. Yeah,

293
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: it's not looking good. I would love to know what

294
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: everyone in the chat thinks. Uh, do you think Courtney

295
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,240

00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: was a break.

00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 5: That's exactly what I was one year of respite.

00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 6: an inherit an inheritance one, so I didn't put him.

325
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 6: There was like three other people that died during those years.

326
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: That is a that is a string, a lot of grief.

327
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: That's a lot of grief. Sorry, yeah, oh jeez.

328
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 5: So my relationship with all of them was good, despite

329
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 5: my ducubist, my ducubist of a mother.

330
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: Is it like a secutist, like an Egyptian freak?

00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: This is an sat word I'm unfamiliar with, isn't it?

Speaker 6: Is that like as it's like a female demon, a female.

334
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: I have no idea what that means.

335
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 5: But I was especially close to my Niani and my dad,

336
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 5: who I considered my entire support system. By the way,

337
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 5: this comes from Bella on the r slash. Okay story time,

338
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 5: I'll brend it. So my Niee was the first to go.

339
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 5: She died at the beginning of this mess uh I

340
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 5: call my young adult life, and it caused a ruckus.

341
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 5: I was her caretaker during those first few weeks of quarantine,

342
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 5: as hospice workers were not allowed to help at the time. Dude,

343
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 5: I mean cannot even cannot even imagine.

344
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: I love how Bella is calling like a worldwide pandemic

345
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: a ruckus.

346
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: Oh this was it was.

347
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: It was a maximum the maximum rock max ruckus max

348
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: ruckus that rucks us.

349
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 3: Anything else did like that?

350
00:16:59,360 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: To stare at the.

351
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 5: I'll think of interrupt vaculator. Now, none of the adults

352
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 5: in my life were being adults. My uncle was hiding

353
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 5: the toilet paper, God love it. My mom was fighting

354
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 5: my uncle after he called her a dirty Mexican. But

355
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 5: that's neither here nor there, because they're friends, now, Oh cool,

356
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 5: all right?

357
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: You know sometimes friends have cute pet names for each other,

358
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: you know.

359
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 3: Is that what you call your friends?

360
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 5: They're narcissists, so I guess it's okay. This resulted in

361
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 5: my dad fighting my uncle, my mom leaves the house,

362
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 5: and me still staying to take care of my dying grandma.

00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 5: made things even worse.

368
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 3: It I read for.

369
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 5: As my dad and siblings left defend for themselves while

Speaker 5: I stayed to take care of Ninie, going on two.

371
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: To three hours of sleep per day. Then the power

00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:28,360

Speaker 6: brother found out and he told me, but he didn't

446
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:16,680

448
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,080

00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 5: A few years before Needy passed away, the mom was cheating,

453
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 5: sister found out, never told anyone. Brother found out full

454
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 5: o p and they were like, hey, let's not tell

455
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 5: them while because they were he was still living at home.

456
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 3: He wanted to, you know, go off to college and

457
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 3: not be swept swept up in the mess.

458
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 5: And then literally the day after she sends him off

459
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 5: off to college, the father passes away, but learns from

460
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 5: the brother that he did actually know without them being

461
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 5: the one to break. Oh God, thank you, oh my goodness, Okay,

462
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 5: thank you for being patient with trying guys. So when

463
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 5: he died, I got a couple of shirts and some

464
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 5: of my old Niani's nickknacks, but he didn't have a will,

465
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 5: so the government gave everything to my mom. He had

466
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 5: wanted me to have some of his heirlooms, a side

467
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 5: table from Nini, and a quarter of his of the business,

468
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 5: but without the will to divvy up the money, my

469
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 5: mom was able to sell that part of the business

470
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 5: for one hundred and forty thousand dollars.

471
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: Oh wow. So like if Bella had maybe taken it over,

472
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: she could have actually maybe done something with it, yeah,

473
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: like to take it worth more. Yeah, because she was

474
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: probably fire sailing, not even.

475
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 5: It's not even the yeah, and it's not even like

476
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 5: the hundred and forty k in cash or sitting there

477
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 5: like this is a business.

478
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: Yeah that was Ay.

479
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 5: Someone made hundred and forty thousand dollars for us, so yeah,

480
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 5: so probably could have made more.

481
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but nineteen you don't even know. Someone handed me

482
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:10,959
Speaker 2: to business at nineteen.

483
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

484
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 3: Now.

485
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 6: Uh.

486
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 5: She also received my dad's fifty five thousand dollars in investments,

487
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 5: my child at home, and twenty thousand dollars from his

488
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 5: life insurance, though she did have to go through probate

489
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 5: for it. My half sister's mom Claire tried to stake

490
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 5: a claim but lost. Now, while my mom promised that

491
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 5: we would receive a share of the money, I noticed

492
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 5: that she begins spending outrageous amounts on unnecessary things. Because

493
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 5: I had access to some of her accounts. She talked

494
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 5: about finding a job and helping her family, but then

495
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 5: bought a dog, toys for a dog, random Amazon things,

496
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 5: and more unnecessary stuff for her kids. I want to

497
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 5: know more about this dog. Yeah, if I'm being ouaa.

498
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: Also right now, that doesn't sound like a ton of

499
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: money being spent, Like how much is a dog toy?

500
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:00,480

00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 5: She didn't deserve it, as I did all the work

532
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 5: caring for our family, and then I handled DPR paramedics

533

Speaker 5: of it was mine, thanks Mom. Then it even got worse.

543
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 5: It got worse when she kicks me out the day

00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:03,680

568
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 1: Feels like she's got it locked up, dudee, and she's

569
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,520

Speaker 3: know what we need.

581
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 2: But this is a world where anything can happen.

582
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 3: We need that clarity. We needed that clarity. But do

583
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 3: we do we feel that story war or story two

584
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 3: is more likely? Is more likely?

585
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: I feel like story two is less likely. So I

586
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: feel like Bella has a worst shot because at least

587
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: Brian in story one with Courtney was like like had

588
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: A had a history of being helpful and just suddenly

589
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: like was not. I feel I feel like Bella's mom

590
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: has it been has a history of kind of not

591
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: being that great, But Bella.

592
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 2: Does have access to some of her accounts, so she

593
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: could get a little bit of.

594
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 3: It or figure it out. True, that's true.

595
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: She has a way in. Oh, she has a way

596
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: in that. That's a good that's a good counterpoint.

597
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 5: I was, Yeah, because I was just about to say

598
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 5: with the first story there was an actual will bestowing

599
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 5: it to op but which story she doesn't have?

600
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, but storry she doesn't have. I because I

601
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: feel like, all right, let's say Bella just logs in

602
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: with the account, take the money. The mom could be like,

603
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: that's my money. Legally I'm gonna sue you. You and

604
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: I feel like you wouldn't keep it. I feel like

605
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: with receipt Courtney, with Courtney though, uh, she's actually entitled

606
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: to that money. Yeah, And so I think there's a

607
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: better there's more and more ways to go about.

608
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 3: That, honestly.

609
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 6: Uh.

610
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 5: I want to see I want to see uh this, Uh, well,

00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 5: see the ruthless side of Belle ellithless saint and for it.

613
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: She was, she was, she was taught to be ruthless. Right,

614
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: maybe we're to see that ruthlessness. But I know Courtney,

615
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: Courtney has has the will, Courtney has the will, and

616
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: with the will, there's a way. There's a way. But

617
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: let's make our way to this third story.

618
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 3: Let's do it.

619
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: My parents promised me a huge inheritance that would make

620
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: me rich, but the government refuses to give it to me.

621
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 7: Freaking government, Uncle town.

622
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: I am one of three siblings. My oldest sister me

623
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: female forty four, my older brother aw male forty two,

624
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: and little me Shin female thirty four. We were born

625
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: and raised in Sweden, but my parents are originally from Kurdistan,

626
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: Iraq and immigrated with barely anything. As they both were

627
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: from well off educated families, they were able to go

628
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: to university and study stem fields. They even later taught there. Also,

629
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: this comes from Shinn on the r slash Okay storytime,

630
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: so I read it so. As a situation Kurdistan worsened,

631
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: my dad had to flee to Sweden after his name

632
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: was added to Saddam's hit list. What what shit, that's crazy.

633
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: Five years later, my mom got the call to run

634
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: and she got out just in time. After arriving in Sweden,

635
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: they began working in the food industry and built their

636
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: businesses from scraped, which are now thriving today.

637
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 3: Congrat dude, what badass.

638
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 7: The stage American dream the Swedish I know, but like

639
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 7: the American dream, the Swedish American dream, any dream is America.

640
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 7: That's automatically.

641
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: When when the situation in the Kurdish parts of northern

642
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: Iraq became safe again, they returned to live and retire there.

643
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: After the move, they informed my siblings and I that

644
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: while they wanted us to inherit their several properties, cars

645
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: and assets, we couldn't because none of us were born

646
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: in Kurdistan. Because a lot of those places, it's like

647
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: or a lot of places around the world, it's like

648
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: if you're not born there, you can't inherit it. Photoshop, Yeah, photoshop,

649
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: that's all you need.

650
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 3: Honestly, that's like, well.

651
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 4: You photoshop yourself, like in Kurdistant.

652
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: You photoshop your your birth certificate. Suddenly a little bit

653
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: of bribery, get your inheritance and a good smile, great ry,

654
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: come on? What meaning we're technically not registered as their

655
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: children by the Iraqi got so everything would be given

656
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: to our closest male relative. If we wanted to get

657
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: any of our inheritance, we had to prove that we

658
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: were their children, and to do that we had to

659
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: go through the international bureaucracy. From the easiest thing would

660
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: have been if Awe went through the process because male

661
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: heirs automatically inherit two thirds of everything and are in

662
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: charge of distributing it to the others. Nice. Okay, so

663
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: I can maybe get it, but that would mean he

664
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: would have to get in a rocky ID. After talking

665
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: to him, he explained that that would complicate things for

666
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: him with his job. So my sister, me and I

667
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: decided we would get the IDs and register our parents will,

668
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: especially because we didn't want our parents stuff to go

669
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: to my less than pleasant uncle. I feel like I

670
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: have an ic you where it's just going to go

671
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: to the lesson present uncle. Yeah, that's my conspiracy there.

672
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 3: I think it's a pretty accurate. I see you.

673
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 2: I also I see you the ICU of him dying

674
00:33:58,960 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: and then where does that money go?

675
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: Oh? The double double jeopardy, Yeah, double jeffarl Uh. Should

676
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: we asked why early uncle is less than pleasant?

677
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 2: You should just read the next sentence.

678
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 1: Okay, he's independently, he's independently wealthy, but such a bad tempered,

679
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: smug cheapskate that he will that he still refuses to

680
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 1: grant his ex wife a proper divorce because that would

681
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: mean splitting the cost of their home during a bad

682
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: time in the housing market. So began our hellish journey.

683
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 1: Yeay man is a ruthless business.

684
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 2: Also, there's a bad housing economy in Sweden.

685
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,720
Speaker 1: That's crazy. I think it was Iraq, Iraq.

686
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 3: It's no right, I think.

687
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 4: So.

688
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 8: My uncle lives in Sweden. He racist kids here, is

689
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 8: going through the divorce, refusing to let the house go

690
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 8: because the housing market is But she really wants to divorce,

691
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 8: and I don't blame her at all.

692
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: Okay, So the housing market in Sweden is crap. He

693
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: doesn't want to get rid of his house because the

694
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: housing market is not good, and so he's not giving

695
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: her the divorce. Can she not like just divorce him?

696
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: Why does does she need permission in Sweden to divorce him?

697
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 8: Or what a sense? It's jointly owned, any assets must

698
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 8: be split fairly. In Sweden we actually have proper laws

699
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 8: when it comes to protection of your assets and stuff.

700
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 8: So with him refusing, it makes it harder to actually

701
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 8: sell the house.

702
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,240
Speaker 3: I see, I see, and to sell.

703
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: So first, we had to get our birth certificates from

704
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: the Swedish government translated into Arabic, a language neither of

705
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: us speak, and notarized at the Iraqi Embassy. It took

706
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: five attempts to get the document signed, which included various

707
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: incorrect forms and a man with a printer in his

708
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: car outside the embassy building, until we finally had what

709
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 1: we needed. But the worst was yet to come.

710
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 3: This feels like a movie. I feel like Guy, like

711
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 3: the comedic relief of car Guy, just like, hold on,

712
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 3: let me go to my car.

713
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. This feels like a Curb Your Enthusiasm

714
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: episode in Iraqi. Ur In Kurdis Dan, me and I

715
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 1: flew to Kurdistan to get our IDs, both our parents,

716
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: our uncle, who is more well versed in legal lingo,

717
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: my sister, and I took a three hour car trip

718
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: to be there when they opened in hopes of getting

719
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: ahead of the crowds, But once we got there, we

720
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: were informed that we couldn't bring any electronics with us.

721
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: This was a huge problem because we had left our

722
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: poor mother in the car in one hundred and four

723
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: fahrenheit forty degrees celsius weather with no way to contact

724
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: her if we needed her for any documentation, or to

725
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 1: let her know how long it would take. We still

726
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: argue about who had it.

727
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 2: Were pigeons, Pigeon Messaging.

728
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: Carrier pigeon, that's the only way that's yeah.

729
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

730
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: Also, I like, like that's the original PM. You know

731
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 1: everyone's talking about five message, but it's pigeon vestage. Inside

732
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: the depressing concrete building awaited a sensory purgatory that involved

733
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,959
Speaker 1: having no idea what was being said to us, long

734
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: periods of sitting on metal benches with no entertainment, and

735
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: board children crying and screaming around us. We had no

736
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: concept of time because there because there wasn't a single

737
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: clock anywhere, and the area near the bathroom spelled so

738
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: bad that we held everything in and the only hope

739
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: for clean water was a little boy with a backpack

740
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: full of drinks dramatically upselling it because everyone was so

741
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: desperate as an entrepreneur.

742
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 3: Right there, that's British American dream.

743
00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: That's American dream. Finally, we were taken through, going from

744
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,479
Speaker 1: one room to another, facing zoned out officials with old

745
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: school stamps, who informed us that we were getting closer

746
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: and closer to closing time. Oh no, so they waited

747
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: all this time. I could even get the things that

748
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: they need to get the inheritance, and it's gonna all

749
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 1: go to the uncle.

750
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 6: Oh.

751
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: By that point we had spent twelve hours in legal limbo,

752
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: and by what the officials we were speaking to were saying,

753
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: it seemed unlikely we would ever get it. And of

754
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: course my uncle was still there waiting to get his

755
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: hands on that inheritance.

756
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 2: I feel like the uncle planned to hold this.

757
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, the uncle's like he told the guy. He bribed

758
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 5: the guy to go to his car and print there.

759
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 8: Wait different uncle.

760
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: Different.

761
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 8: Oh so you have a good I'm also from a

762
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 8: culture where like close relatives are just called uncles.

763
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, so good uncle is the one that's not the

764
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 7: direct relative. But your evil uncle is your direct relative.

765
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 8: Unfortunately.

766
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: Yes, And of course my evil uncle was still waiting

767
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: to get his hands on the inheritance. This is the

768
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: uncle that would stand to inherit two thirds of everything.

769
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 3: Indeed, like he planned, big dunk.

770
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: He always knew. But that is the end of that

771
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 1: part of the story. There is an update with all

772
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: three of these stories, which we will get to very soon.

773
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 2: So is it easier to get your money from the government.

774
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 1: Or your around the government, or your mom or your brother.

775
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 3: Usually, usually I would not go with the government. But

776
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 3: I don't know this one. This one seems like this.

777
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: One seems like we get razy, but it feels like

778
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: it's the warst Way through. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I mean

779
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: because it's like it's like, like, like how hard is

780
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 1: it to just deal with a rocky uh Sen?

781
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 2: Can I ask you one question? Does your evil uncle

782
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 2: have any children?

783
00:39:58,960 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 8: Yes?

784
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 4: Right,
