1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: My dad forced my mom to birth me, and then

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: he did something even worse. That's destroying our family. How

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: does it get worse? I don't know. John, give me

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: a situation that's worse than that.

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 2: I don't know, Bro, I'm running out like these stories.

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's just too insane.

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: My dad forced my mom to birth me and then

8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: cheated on my mom and then baby with that woman

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: that he cheated on my mom with, and then switched

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: the two babies with each other. That would be a

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: little worse.

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 3: That is worse. That is worse.

13
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: That's worse. Maybe that's what happened. We'll see. I grew

14
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: up thinking my mother had abandoned us. That is what

15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: he always told me. He told me. My mother packed

16
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: up and left when I was two years old. I

17
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: grew up to resent and hate her, mainly because I

18
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: saw how my father was working super long hours to

19
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: make ends me. I hated how my grandma basically had

20
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: to raise me. When I would ask about my mother,

21
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: my grandma painted a picture of a bitter, spiteful, hateful,

22
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: spoiled and titled woman. I felt justified in my anger

23
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: and hate for her. That's what my family told me,

24
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: and I absolutely had no reason to doubt them.

25
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 3: Why would she?

26
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago I found her on social media.

27
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: Oh wow, and I was so effing mad. She was

28
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: out there living her best life. She's a cook or

29
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: a chef in a Michelin star restaurant. She travels as

30
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: a huge apartment and apparently is married to a gorgeous man.

31
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: Oh my.

32
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: In a fit of rage, I DMed her, cursing her

33
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: out for abandoning me to live her frivolous lifestyle and

34
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: that karma would come back for her. Oh goodness, she

35
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: obviously saw it, and instead of going off on me,

36
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: she has asked me to meet her, and that she

37
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: felt like I had a right to express my anger

38
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: to her in person, and that she owed me that

39
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: much interesting comeback.

40
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess starting off on a good foot there.

41
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: I was starstruck because my father said she'd never understood

42
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: the consequences of her actions and this, this seems different

43
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: than Yeah, one dy would do that without telling anyone.

44
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: I agreed. She invited me to this amazing restaurant, She

45
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: paid for an uber for me and everything. It was

46
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: awkward at the beginning, and I kept braiding her I

47
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: was so I cried a little. She sat there and

48
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: took it all. I then asked her the big question,

49
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: why did you abandon me?

50
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: Yeah?

51
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: She then asked, do you really want to know the

52
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: whole story? It's not nice. You won't like it. I'm

53
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: ready to be the bad guy in your head and

54
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: forever to keep my distance if you want me to. Wow.

55
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: I just kept pressing her, and then she told me

56
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: the real story.

57
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: It feels like a movie here it is.

58
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: She told me that my father and her met shortly

59
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: before ending university. At the time, my mother had said

60
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: she did not want to stay in the uni town

61
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: around where the town around where the UNI was a

62
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: few months after dating, my father told her that his

63
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: landlord was evicting him because the apartment was needed for

64
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: immediate family use. She offered him a place to stay

65
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: while he was finding another place to live. Months passed

66
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: and he wasn't doing anything. Then she got a job

67
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: in another country. She told my father that he could

68
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: take over her apartment or come with her. They had

69
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: this huge fight where my mother told him that she

70
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: was not ready for the type of commitment he wanted.

71
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: She wanted different things in life, and that as much

72
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: as she loved him, they just weren't compatible. They stayed

73
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: living to and then one day she found out she

74
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: was pregnant.

75
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 4: Oh.

76
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: She told me honestly that she was thinking of not

77
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: having me. She did not feel ready to be a

78
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: mom at twenty two. She did not have maternal feelings.

79
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 1: She said she was already struggling with depression and late

80
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: diagnosed ADHD man.

81
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: The mom was not lying, like she's giving it.

82
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: Her the truth. She's giving the story. Yeah, yeah, which

83
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: is I mean, like it's what OPI wanted. So I

84
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: think that's there you go. You know, I think she's

85
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: doing I think she's doing the best, yeah that she

86
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: can right now. My father convinced her to have me.

87
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: He said he would take me because he had the

88
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: right to take me, that he would go after her

89
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: legally because the baby was also his. So she had me.

90
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: She said that the time after the birth was really bad.

91
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: My father was dragging out the legal procedures. He refused

92
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: to vacate the home. My mother said that while she

93
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: felt love for me, that there were moments when she

94
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: felt overjoyed, it was overshadowed by huge waves of suicidal

95
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: ideation and depression. She was scared that she was going

96
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: to hurt me. She also showed me some of the

97
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: court documents of the time that backed up her claims,

98
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: so I guess like this was documented into girls Geez.

99
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: In the end, she was so desperate that she agreed

100
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: to stay with my father if he agreed to be

101
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: the main caretaker. He did, but only half asked. Mother

102
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: then told me that it got so bad that she

103
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: tried to unlive herself. Around my second birthday, after a

104
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: particularly nasty fight where my father admitted to having tampered

105
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: with her birth control so that she would get pregnant.

106
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: She showed me the papers of the involuntary seventy two

107
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: hour commitment and the legal documents where she was found

108
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: unfit to be a parent. Afterwards, I felt nauseous after

109
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: all that I would have not believed her had she

110
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: not brought all this evidence with her. She then asked

111
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: me what I meant in my message that we were struggling.

112
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: I told her that we weren't exactly rich, and that

113
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: I was struggling to come up with money to go

114
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: to university in another city. She was bewildered and asked

115
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: me what my father had been doing with the monthly

116
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: payment she was making. I told her, you don't receive

117
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: money that. She took out a stack of papers. Guys,

118
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: she's been sending child support every month and it's three

119
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: thousand dollars every month. Oh, just for child support.

120
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: My god, for so the whole time.

121
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. So she was court mandated to pay one and

122
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: a half thousand, and she doubled the payments out of

123
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: her own will.

124
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. Wow.

125
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: She was very concerned about this and told me she

126
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: would talk to her lawyers asap to transfer the money

127
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: to me directly. The end, she apologized to me, She's

128
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: very sorry to have put me through this. She's very

129
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: sorry for not being stronger. She's very sorry for letting

130
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: me grow up the way I did. She was crying

131
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: and I was crying. She then told me to take

132
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: my time. She would contact me again regarding the payment,

133
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,559
Speaker 1: and that it was up to me if I wanted

134
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: to see her again. That she couldn't be the mother

135
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: I wanted, but the least she could do is help

136
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: me with anything I needed. I hugged her, I cried,

137
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: she cried. I boxed up my food and got another

138
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: uber home at home. My father was not there, so

139
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: went straight to bed and left the next morning. And

140
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: I'm staying with my boyfriend. My whole life is a lie.

141
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: That's the end of the story. My goodness. Here's what

142
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 2: I would say to that. So, even if you know

143
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: the mothers, the mother apologized for her behavior in the past.

144
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: Even with that, clearly to me she has grown a ton,

145
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: like a lot and clearly.

146
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: Cares for the daughter.

147
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: And I mean just the fact that she doubled the

148
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 2: monthly child support her whole life, it sounds like and

149
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: also like I don't think.

150
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: She was wrong and anything that she did, like she

151
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: just kind of got fucked over by.

152
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: This, that's what That's what.

153
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: I completely screwed her.

154
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 3: She got pushed into a corner.

155
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: She knew, yeah, and she knew she was not ready

156
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: to be a mother, like right, which is why she

157
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: told earth control was she told him like, I'm not

158
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: ready and then this guy like probably intentionally knocked her

159
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: up and then like I don't get that he would

160
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: do that and then just be a bad father. I

161
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: guess he was trying to like anchor his relationship with

162
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: her because like she was not ready to be committed

163
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: to him and she's like he's like, oh, if I

164
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: have a baby with her, baby shall commit to me,

165
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: which is fucking terrible. Yeah, but yeah that that dad

166
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: is a complete asshole. Oh p is just like, you know,

167
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: had no idea what was going on. Cott in the middle,

168
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think, yeah, Cott in the middle. The

169
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: mom is I don't think an outfault for really anything.

170
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: What is really cool is seeing how much the mom

171
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: has mature in terms of being able to take care

172
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: of herself. It seems like she got her life together,

173
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: which is awesome here, but man, what a rough situation.

174
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm just glad Ope got the truth.

175
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: One hundred percent, one hundred percent, like oh my gosh.

176
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: And also, like, as a kid, you know if if

177
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: someone tells you something from like literally basically birth to adulthood, yeah,

178
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: that's just gonna be ingrained in your brain. So for OP,

179
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: this experience is insane because it's like literally this whole

180
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: thing I've been told and like have just like beaten

181
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: into my head. My entire life now is like completely

182
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: different than what I thought. Like that is such a

183
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: insane like mind f oh yeah, no, deal.

184
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: With fucking crazy. But I'm yeah, I'm glad Ope. Finally

185
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: got the truth today. I fed up when my date

186
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: shot me and thought she was gonna go to jail. Okayop,

187
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: this is Okayop. I'm Samuel Donner and I'm John Fry

188
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: and we tell the funniest stories on the internet. And John,

189
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: what's the worst date you've ever been on?

190
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 3: Oh?

191
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: Man, Well, I don't know if it's the worst day

192
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 2: I've ever been on. But I went on a date

193
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: near Stanford in Palo Alto with a Stanford student.

194
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: She was a Stanford student. Okay, John, I don't know.

195
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: It's honestly not much of an accomplishment, to be honest

196
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: with you. But she was like twenty I was twenty one.

197
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: And she was like, oh, do you want to get

198
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: some beers or something? And again she was not even

199
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: of drinking age, and I was like sure. She's like,

200
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: what's your favorite beer? I was like, I've never thought

201
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: about it, but I really like blue Moon. And she

202
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 2: was like, blue moon is so basic.

203
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: I like blue Moon.

204
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 3: I love blue Moon.

205
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, go on and say it. I love

206
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 4: I love the blue Moon. I you know what blue

207
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 4: moon is? Sponsorous? Because I really love you, I really do.

208
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 4: I defended you and people calling you basic, and she

209
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: was like, I'm I'm going to get a German sour beer.

210
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: Called whatever the hell it was called. Oh wow, So

211
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: that was a a bad date.

212
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could definitely see that. I had a date

213
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: where this this girl had like turtle lips. Turtle lips, yeah,

214
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: like like pincers. Was she like she kissed like this?

215
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: Oh? Like what sucked her her lips? Yeah?

216
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: She shucked her lips like uh, like she sucked her

217
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: lips and it looked like she had dice lips, but

218
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: she would suck them in and and I'm like, I'm like,

219
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: this is when I was a little like more honest.

220
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: Uh And I'm like, you're kissing like a turtle. And

221
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: she did not take kindly to that.

222
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.

223
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: But those two stories don't hold a candle to the

224
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: story that we're about to hear.

225
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 2: Oh I'm I'm scared. I'm scared now worse than turtle lips.

226
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: This is gonna works.

227
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: Than turtle lips. Today. I fd up when my date

228
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: shot me and thought she was going to go to jail.

229
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 3: You know a thing you try not to do on

230
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 3: a date is shoot.

231
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, they say shoot your shot, but they don't say shoot.

232
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 3: Gun your date to where it enters their body.

233
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: Yeah no, not a good move, Not a good move.

234
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: All right, are you ready?

235
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: Let's do it? For better or for worse. I'm in for.

236
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: It, I mail, twenty two. Like to consider myself an

237
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: experienced outdoorsman. Okay, I spent most of my childhood camping,

238
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: and I still always try to go once a month minimum.

239
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: So three years ago I bought myself an air rifle

240
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: for target shooting. No animals have ever been harmed in

241
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: my trips. Recently, I started talking with Ellie nineteen female.

242
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: We really hit it off thanks to a shared love

243
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: of nature, animals.

244
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: And spooky stories. Oh very nice.

245
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: We had planned to go for a hike for a

246
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: first date. Then she found out I have a rifle,

247
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: and instead she asked if we could go shooting. Okay,

248
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: fair enough. Sure, pretty girl asked me to shoot a shot.

249
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: I'll let her shoot my shot. Capal bang. Fast forward

250
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: to day of I picked her up. We drove to

251
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: my usual spot and set up. I showed her the

252
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: basics of firearms safety, and then we got shooting. Important detail.

253
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: Ellie is an awful shot, just got awful. Cannot hit

254
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: one single thing. About ninety minutes in, I've got my

255
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: camping stove set up and I'm making a brew, and

256
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: I suddenly need to answer the call of nature, and

257
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: so I asked Ellie to finish brewing up. On my

258
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: way back from that nature call, I noticed I don't

259
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: hear any shots, and I assume Ellie is making the brew,

260
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: so obviously she won't have her rifle aimed down range right,

261
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: So I cut across the range to get back quicker.

262
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: It didn't occur to me that she was reloading. I

263
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: make it up over the ridge onto the range, just

264
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: in time to hear a crack and a searing pain

265
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: in my left shoulder. I dropped to the ground behind

266
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: the ridge, half expecting another shot. Bunches of shell after

267
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: shell going above my head trying to get me down.

268
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: That all goes through my head before I hear Ellie

269
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: scream out, and I get back up, making my way

270
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,599
Speaker 1: back to her spot, trying my darndest to be nonchalant.

271
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: Just put a flesh wound kind of attitude.

272
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 3: Don't worry about it.

273
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: That all, despite bleeding badly with a twenty two caliber

274
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: lead pellette in my shoulder. Oh my goodness, Ellie can't

275
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: stop apologizing. I'm trying to calm her down, but she's

276
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: crying and convinced she's going to prison. And honestly, this

277
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: is a pretty crap date. But you know where you

278
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: can find way better dates than this On Date Night,

279
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: Date Night, Date with friends, Swipe match and watch each

280
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: other date live. Basically, you swepe during the day, match

281
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: with people you like, and at nine pm there's a

282
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: live date component. Watch your friend's date live, react and vote. Anyway,

283
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: back to this date, back to the story. We pack

284
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: up the equipment rifle Matt's tarp stove, and I pack

285
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: the wound with some cotton wool pads from her bag

286
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: and hold in place with duct tabe I had in

287
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: the gulf box. That's like some real survival right there.

288
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm half expecting to be like caught rise the wound.

289
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 3: Yeah.

290
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: After a long, very awkward drive, we make it to

291
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: the hospital and we head into the emergency room. We

292
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: waited about twenty minutes before I was seen by a

293
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: doctor and we got the pellet hole properly cleaned and

294
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: the pellet removed. All the while Ellie is being grilled

295
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: by the nurse about just how the young man got

296
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: shot and I have to intervene when she talks about

297
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: reporting this to the police, assuring her the accident was

298
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: my fault. I love how this nurse is trying to

299
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: like get Ellie in prison. This morning I wake up

300
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: to a three thousand word say from her about how

301
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: sorry she is, how much she enjoyed our time out,

302
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: and how she's terrified she ruined by chance of us

303
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: working out. Honestly, if things go well, this will be

304
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: a hell of a story to tell the kids about

305
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: how me and their mom met.

306
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 3: Wow.

307
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: That honestly, that is that is start out to Opie.

308
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: Opie's very cool about it.

309
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean nonchalantly strutting his stuff with a bullet wound

310
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: on his shoulder.

311
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 3: I would not do.

312
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: I'd be like, yo, whether we're calling the paramedics or

313
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: we're packing up, like there's no there is some sprinting

314
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,040
