1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Sam, this is John, and we are

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: the founding hosts of Okay Storytime Podcasts.

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: And we have some foundational stories coming up for you.

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: But the thing is, this foundation needs a little support

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: from these sponsors. So stick around two minutes and we'll

6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: get into the episode.

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: My nephews stole from me one too many times, so

8
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 2: I got them arrested.

9
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 3: You steal from me one time, shame on you. You

10
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 3: steal from me two times, arrested.

11
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 2: And scene nice jobs. So my entitled nephew stole from

12
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: me one too many times. This time I got them arrested,

13
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 2: and now my sister and brother in law have to

14
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: deal with the fallout, and I don't really care anymore.

15
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 3: What would you arrest someone? Sorry, Kentinu, it.

16
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: Would take a lot. It would take a lot, but

17
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: we won't revisit. That's a good question. That's Sophia, that's a

18
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 2: good question. About Midway last week, when I came home

19
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: from work, I noticed my shed door was open and

20
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: the padlock that I used to keep it shut was broken.

21
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: I had a lot of bags full of soda cans

22
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: in there, Okay, and I and my friends tend to

23
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: drink a lot of soda. So I've built up cans

24
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: over the course of a year, and I was about

25
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: to cash them in at the bottle drops soon because

26
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: I like big payouts. We're talking straight cashola.

27
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 3: That's about ten bucks there, it's about.

28
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: Ten dollars, ten big ones. It's ten cents a can

29
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: where I live, after all, a can. He's got mountains

30
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: we don't know. And by the way, this comes from

31
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: Yam throwaway on the R shash Ok storytime. Sup. So

32
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,919
Speaker 2: there was more than just my bags of cans missing

33
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: from the shed too. They took my gardening shears, a

34
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: steel rake, two shovels, one of them being one of

35
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: those folding camping ones not cheap, a full two gallon

36
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: gas can, a cheap power drill I got for like

37
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: five bucks, used an electric hedge trimmer, and a small

38
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: electric chainsaw, and a machete. Who so basically one hundred

39
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: and fifty dollars. They didn't touch the lawnmower, the weed whacker,

40
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: extension cords, or the old radio that I had in there.

41
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: No idea why they took what they did, but I

42
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: guess they figured they could resell them or something like that.

43
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: Now I checked my camera footage, and there were my

44
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: three nephews, ages sixteen, fifteen, and fourteen. Why am I

45
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: getting the feeling that this is some like three stooges,

46
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 2: just like or like Malfoy and is like in a

47
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 2: crabbing goile, you know, like that's what it's giving right now.

48
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: Three just freaking lump and idiots.

49
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: Just you know, they're stealing mountains of.

50
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 2: Cans, mountains of and used drills. My god, I saw

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: them breaking into my shed with one of their dad's large,

52
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: large claw hammers. I recognized the hammer because it's a

53
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: bright yellow and black and their dad has a bunch

54
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: of them. It only took them a few hits to

55
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: smash that cheap block. After they broke into my shed,

56
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: they took what they could by hand, and then they

57
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: came back with shopping carts that I'm guessing they also stole.

58
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: But it took them a few trips to get all

59
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: the cans, and they didn't bother to even try and

60
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: close the door when they were done. Dude, at least

61
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 2: have some fricking manners.

62
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 3: What are they doing with all the cans?

63
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: Cashing them?

64
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: Do they even know how to do that?

65
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: That's I mean, it's a fair quest. They're literally getting

66
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: like maybe, okay, let's realistically, let's call it like two

67
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: to three hundred dollars tops.

68
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 3: And that's only if he's got like thousands of cans he.

69
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: Had he had like a bunch of other stuff. Oh okay,

70
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: the drill and maschhety to.

71
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 3: Go through that much effort with the cans alone, Yes,

72
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: to get made, Just get.

73
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: A job, bro.

74
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 4: Let's and you know how much money you're gonna need

75
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: for gas to take the cans. So one of these states,

76
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 4: let me tell you the states.

77
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. They stole two gallons of gas.

78
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: Okay, that's still not enough.

79
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,279
Speaker 2: What if they have a hybrid.

80
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: They didn't even fill up all the way.

81
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 4: But still like, like, you have to have like thousands,

82
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 4: like tens of thousands of cans in to even make

83
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 4: a profit. But by that time, you need to stop

84
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 4: drinking whatever you're drinking, because that's putting.

85
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: You in the dirt. Yeah maybe maybe maybe.

86
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 4: Economics, guys.

87
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: So, my sister and brother in law first denied that

88
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: their kids stole anything from me. So I went to

89
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: their house and I showed them the security footage from

90
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: my cameras. I'd not told them I'd had cameras installed,

91
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: and the reason I had the cameras put in was

92
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: because of prior thefts by my nephew. So this is

93
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: not a first time offense.

94
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: They're naturals at this, right.

95
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: But Sophia, it started with the food and the snacks.

96
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 3: They just take a couple of little cheesy cheese crackers.

97
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: Cheyez Cheezy Wheezies Lil Wayne's new new cheese snack brands.

98
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 3: And start off with a little cheesy wheezies. Then they

99
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: go to cans, and then they're stealing your wife.

100
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: Uh, Sophia, if you do the.

101
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: Math, don't let them steal your wives.

102
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: That's do I tell her? Chat tell her, Yeah.

103
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: No, I know.

104
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm more like you're saying kidnap. Okay, okay, okay, okay.

105
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: I thought you're like, you know, I mean their children

106
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: as well, which we're moving on moving hell goodness. So

107
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: and then it moved on to DVDs. In video games, okay,

108
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 2: we've gone from Gateway to Level up. God, then pretty

109
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: much anything they thought they could smuggle out after that,

110
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: and anytime I made them return stuff they'd stolen from me,

111
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 2: I was treated like the bad guy. And then got

112
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: the fakest apologies I've ever heard, and they've never gotten

113
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: in much trouble from their parents either. The final straw

114
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: happened last year when my nephew's broke into my house

115
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 2: and stole three six packs of my favorite blood orange

116
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: root beer quote unquote, but no, it's it's not.

117
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: They didn't do that.

118
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 2: Wavy drinks. What's a good name.

119
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: See, I had a really good reaction.

120
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: But spicy, spicy drink sounds like blood orange drink. Drink

121
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: there we go drink whatever they sensor us mean to

122
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 2: do about it. They used my spare key to get in,

123
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 2: and they also took a huge dump in one of

124
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: my bathrooms and not only didn't flush, but also pete

125
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 2: all over the floor.

126
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: Are these dude? These guys are the people.

127
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 4: At least they did in a double deck bit toilet.

128
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: I'm sorry their parents didn't potty train.

129
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: Them literally literally.

130
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 4: Sometimes you miss, well, sometimes you miss, and sometimes you

131
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 4: can't miss.

132
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 3: If you're outside, you miss the shot.

133
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: Don't encourage them. Dag it, Sophia. But that was a

134
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: great joke, and I'm pretty sure it was intentional. The

135
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: drinks that they stole was hidden in one of their

136
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: bedrooms when I confronted my sister and brother in law

137
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: about stealing it, and I was basically given an equivalent

138
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 2: of boys will be boys when I wanted to get

139
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: them punished, so I had the cameras put in and

140
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 2: I told no one, which was a smart move. Nice.

141
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: When my sister and brother in law saw the camera

142
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: footage of my nephews stealing from me, they seemed furious,

143
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: but they were actually madder that boys skip school, that's

144
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: fealing from me. We can punish them as long as

145
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 2: it's not an opie's favor, so like.

146
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 3: As long as it's after school, that it's just an extracurricular.

147
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: Ponus points that would have been. They spent all day

148
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: making repeated trips to the bottle drop and cashing the

149
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: cans buy machine. The bottle Drop also pays buy machine,

150
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: so they just kept bringing the cans in until they

151
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: had cashed them all, and then they bought video games

152
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: and junk food with the money. Said money actually amounted

153
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: to nearly two hundred bucks.

154
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 3: Oh my dang food jog food.

155
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: Dude, they're literally like teenage boys. Why are we not

156
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: putting some mean coins? Why are we not putting this

157
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: in like bitcoin or something like that. They're not. They're not.

158
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: Why kids these days don't know how to invest.

159
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: They don't know how to tell about.

160
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 3: They steal your wives and they don't invest. Who are wives?

161
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 3: And they don't even put them in bitcoin?

162
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 2: Wow? Well with that, they destroyed the padlock and I

163
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: had told my sister and brother in law they now

164
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: owed me two hundred dollars.

165
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: Took my time, emotional damages, all right, because they stole

166
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: your wife.

167
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: Why do you not let die, Sophia. My sister and

168
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: brother in law went from being angry at their kids

169
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: to making excuses for them now that it's a little cashola,

170
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: and then being angry at me for wanting that money

171
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: back when I know they have three kids in a mortgage.

172
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: I said it was either that or I go to

173
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: the police and press charges. They told me to get out,

174
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 2: and I said, they have two days to decide how

175
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: to pay me back before I call the cops. You

176

00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 3: crack up on that because I continue.

00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: brother in law were blowing out my phone with tons

186
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: of messages, both verbal and text. At first, they were

187
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 2: calling me heartless because it was right after the holidays

188
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: and they have three kids. In a mortgage, we came

189
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,160

190
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: then even threatening me, and all of this would go

191
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,640

210
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,240

211
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: sister in law brother, with my sister and brother in law,

212
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: they refuse to negotiate any sort of method of repayment

213
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 2: from what my nephews did. You good over there?

00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 3: Bar keeps putting the camera on me, and I'm not.

217
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 2: They refuse to negotiate any sort of method of repayment

218
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: for my nephews did, even when I suggested they just

219
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: sell the video games they purchased with the money from

220
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: the cans. Then they had the audacity to say that

221
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: I'd actually tempted my nephews by having cans in the

222
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: shed to begin with, my cans bring all the boys

223
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: to the yard. You know how that goes? Oh? Yes,

224
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: I am the devil snake that tempted my nephews with

225
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 2: a shed full of cans that just screamed money, money, money, No, no, no,

226
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: no money, money money. Yes they both were, so that

227
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 2: was it. I went to the police station that morning

228
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: and filed the report and gave him a copy of

229
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: the video footage of my nephews stealing from my shed. Yes, yes,

230
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: I gave them the broken lock they smashed, showed them

231
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: all the texts which were screenshotted and also given as evidence. Heck,

232
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: I even gave them a copy of a photo of

233
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: my eldest nephew sent me flipping me off owned poned.

234
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: Got it. I did tell police that I found it

235
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 2: worrisome that my nephews had taken the machete, but they

236
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 2: classified it as a tool, especially since they took a

237
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 2: lot of other tools. So fair enough on that.

238
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 3: I suppose I want a fifteen year old having a machete.

239
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 2: You've never been a fifteen year old boy with a

240
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: machete being like freak Yeah.

241
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 3: Me there, I have never been a fifteen year old boy.

242
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 4: So if if that is a tool, then I guess

243
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 4: you can take them a sheddy to the police department.

244
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 2: It's a tool.

245
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 3: What do you think about that police department? Checkmate?

Speaker 2: all three of my nephews went from being cocky little

269
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,400

00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: That's so big now.

272
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 2: I know this is because a neighbor I'm acquainted with

273
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 2: that's sort of friends with my sister was there to

274
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 2: see it, and shortly before the arrest, my sister and

275
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 2: brother in law were blowing up my phone again. They

276
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: weren't able to get their kids out of jail till

277
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,120

Speaker 2: It should? It should? It should? And now the boys

281
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 2: are being chards with larceny, willful destruction of property, slash,

282
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 2: vandalism and harassments.

283
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,720

00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 3: off with the.

285
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: Bia can dude, the bear, the bea can pH. The

286
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: police took this whole case pretty seriously, as there have

287
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: been complaints about my nephews for some time, so other

288
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: people are calling the cops on the man, but nothing

289
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: was proven until now. You see, the past few months,

290
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: bags of cans have actually been going missing all over

291
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: the area. All over the Tri State AIA, the can bandits, wait,

292
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: the cannonet, talk to me.

293
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 4: If it's everywhere, I don't think. I don't think it's

294
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 4: just that it's the nephews. It can't just be because

295
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 4: I saw a dude going through our garbage one day,

296
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 4: recycling finding cans.

297
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 2: But this is different. This is different. This is like

298
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: breaking in. Yeah, they're breaking into get camps, but it's

299
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 2: everywhere is goats.

300
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 3: How do they have that much time? How do they

301
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 3: have that much gas much strength to steal your wife

302
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 3: this coal?

303
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: She refuses. She refuses to drop the fit. The past

304
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: few months, backs of cans have actually been going missing

305
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: all over the area. Don't know if it was my

306
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: nephews or not, but they're likely suspects, and with words

307
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: spreading of their arrest, let's hope other neighbors with security

308
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: cameras come forward with more footage. My sister and brother

309
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: in law showed up at my house too. I refuse

310
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 2: to open the door and told them this all happened

311
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: because they're enablers who refused to hold their kids accountable

312
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: for their actions. That made them just scream and pound

313
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 2: on my door more till I threatened to call the

314
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: police on them too, and since I've done it already,

315
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: they know I mean it now, so they left without

316
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: more trouble, but they went back to blowing up my phone.

317
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: I didn't block my sister and brother in law. Instead,

318
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: I just decided to save all the messages they send me.

319
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 2: Because I've made the decision to take them to small

320
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: claims court over this. We are going to the loss.

321
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: I don't really need or want the money and have

322
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: already replaced the destroyed padlock with a much better one. However,

323
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 2: the kids aren't the only ones who need to be

324
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: taught a lesson, you see. In the end, I hope

325
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: I put them in enough of a whole but ash

326
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: because they're the a whole that they learn not to

327
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: screw with me. Ever, again, I also have the full

328
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: support of my family on this. My parents, aunts, uncles, cousins,

329
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: et cetera. They're all supporting me in this because my

330
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: nephews have stolen from them too, them a network of crime,

331
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: and after banning my nephews from my house, some did

332
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 2: the same. I'm going to push for my nephews to

333
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: get community service, and the reason why isn't just because

334
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: it's a good idea, but also because I know that

335
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: they'll hate that the most. Whatever they are made to

336
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: do any kind of work they don't want to do.

337
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: They just stand around griping and acting like the world

338
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: is against them. Bro. So they're they're willing to put

339
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: the effort in to break a lock and steal like

340
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: a thousand trillion cans, but they're like, uh, I don't

341
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: want to. I don't want to rig these leave.

342
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 3: You know what, John, if you do what you love.

343
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 3: If you do what you love, you never work a

344
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 3: day in your life.

345
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: You're right? I love stealing? Can I love it so much?

346
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 3: Conspiracy theory?

347
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: Talk to me?

348
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 3: The boys are just lackeys. The parents are the brains

349
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 3: behind this whole.

350
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 2: That's a great conspiracy theory. Oh they're there. It's it's

351
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: a Rico okay. So Rico is basically so uh they

352
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: made Rico because the mob bosses would always send their

353
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 2: henchmen to do the dirty work. Right, So Rico is

354
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 2: basically what they charged like the mob bosses with to

355
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: be able to get them on some charge because they

356
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 2: initially had not there, Like they're not doing the dirty work, Like,

357
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 2: we can't charge them with it.

358
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 3: Basically racketeer influenced and corruption organization.

359
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 4: Yes, also we got some like really good information for earlier, Cheryl.

363
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,919

364
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 3: bad for it or something.

Speaker 4: That's a dog. You never eat dog. You can eat

366
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 4: a human liver. You can't eat a dog liver.

00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: We'll teach them some manners they've been spoiled for far

Speaker 3: Sofia ahn these kids, these kids seem pretty awful, yeah,

386
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 3: I think.

387
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 2: And also community service is great. Community service is not

388
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 2: putting him like, would I want my nephews to be

389
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 2: put in a in a in like a jail for like.

390
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 3: I don't think I would want to send them to jail.

391
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 2: But hundreds of hours of community service.

392
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 3: Like a hundred hours an hour for every Can, an hour,

393
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 3: thousands of hours, thousand community service for years. I mean, dude,

394
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 3: that's like an hour for every ten can.

395
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 2: I don't know every can. Two thousand hours hours.

396
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 3: Two thousand hours, two thousand hours.

397
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: So update sister and brother in law had the money

398
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: to pay me back the entire time they got all

399
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 2: they can money, I would hope they have at least

400
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: two hundred dollars. But oh, he says, well, this is

401
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: stupidly anti climactic. I figured that my sister and brother

402
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: in law were going to dig their heels in even

403
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 2: deeper after the crap they've already down, after even deeper

404
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 2: after the crap they've already gone down. But they actually caved.

405
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 2: I fouled a lawsuit against them in small claims for

406
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 2: the actions of their kids. In the suit, I was

407
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: asking for five hundred dollars. Shout out to producer Riley.

408
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 2: This was for the stolen cans, the destroyed lock, the

409
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: cost of replacing the lock, which was a much better,

410
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 2: more expensive one, the cost of filing with the courts,

411
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 2: emotional damages, and for the harassment. Shout out to co

412
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 2: host Sephia. We also called that. My friend, whose father's

413
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: a lawyer, gave me a free consultation and said, I

414
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 2: have a very strong case because of the camera footage

415
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 2: I have of both of my nephews stealing from me

416
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: and of my sister and brother in law pounding on

417
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 2: my front door, plus all the messages they sent to me.

418
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 2: When my sister and brother in law were served, they

419
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: called me freaking out. They said I can't do this

420
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 2: to them, So I retorted that this is the price

421
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 2: they are paying for not parenting their kids and letting

422
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 2: them be entitled little thieves. And if they wish to

423
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: speak to me again, it will either be when I

424
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 2: see them in court or if they decided to pay

425
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 2: me the five hundred dollars I'm suing four. Then I

426
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 2: hung on hold on them, stand your ground up, stay

427
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 2: in your ground, king, go off, king, sound off? Sound off? Enough. Well,

428
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: yesterday evening I was having some friends over after work.

429
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 2: We were just chilling to watch in the movie. None

430
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 2: of us were in the mood for video games, since

431
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: we were tired from the day and we all just

432
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 2: wanted to chill evening. But then I get a knock

433
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 2: on the door.

434
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 3: Who's there?

435
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 2: Who's that? When I looked outside, there was my sister

436
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: and brother in law, and they looked very unhappy. I

437
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 2: opened the door, but then but left the screen door shut.

438
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 2: Then ask them what they were doing at my house.

439
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 2: They told me they're tired of fighting because everyone is

440
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 2: against them, and fully admitted how badly they'd left up

441
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 2: by letting this go as far as they did, and

442
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 2: just wanted to make peace. My friends were standing in

443
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 2: full view behind me, so they were witnesses to this.

444
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 2: Brother in law then slid an envelope through a crack

445
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 2: in the door that contained five hundred dollars and fifty

446
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 2: dollars bills. Yay, man, they're hard to come by.

447
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 3: My man U secretive?

448
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 2: So secretive? Right? What's all this hush hush business.

449
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 3: I think there's something up.

450
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 2: These backdoor deals in the front door, might I add?

451
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 2: He said. He said it was from his private savings account,

452
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: then told me from now on, they'll make sure my

453
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: nephews are duly punished for their actions. They didn't ask

454
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 2: me to drop the charges, but pleaded with me to

455
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: at least be lenient. I said, I was only pushing

456
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 2: for community service, which is pretty lenient, and if we

457
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 2: cooperate for that, then hopefully the judge will agree. They

458
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 2: sighed and said they'd cooperate if that's all I wanted.

459
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 2: Then I left without making any sort of fuss. My

460
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 2: friends all congratulated me on holding my ground. Others in

461
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 2: my family later did the same, and that's when I

462
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 2: found out for my parents that they were actually threatened

463
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 2: to disown my sister if she and her husband didn't

464
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 2: make some changes for the better. So now they are.

465
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: It may be a force change it, but it's the

466
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: best we will probably see out of them. Low key.

467
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 2: My mom paid my sister and brother in law a

468
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: visit after they repaid me to She told me that

469
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 2: my nephews were not playing video games. In fact, every

470
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: single video game related thing was put away somewhere, and

471
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 2: so was the TV that my nephews would game and

472
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: move game and watch movies on. All three of my

473
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 2: nephews were in the rooms most of the time, and

474
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 2: we're very rude and unwelcoming to their grandmother. But my

475
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 2: sister claims they are dealing with this situation. So, yeah,

476
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 2: I've dropped a lawsuit, okay, now that I've been paid

477
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 2: what I wanted, But my nephews are still going to

478
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 2: court for theft. So they're still like the civil case

479
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 2: and the criminal case.

480
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, because OP already filed a report on them or

481
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 3: a police report, right, yes, yeah, which you can. I

482
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 3: don't think you can be like take back.

483
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 2: There's no take because it's like, oh, we now have

484
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: recorded you've broken the law. This is criminal, not civil.

485
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 2: But my nephews are still going to court for theft

486
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 2: and are now getting the parenting they should have been

487
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: getting long ago. I've also been assured that they will

488
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 2: not be coming near my house anytime soon and are

489
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 2: strictly only to be either at school or at home.

490
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: So under low Kei house arrest, we have up todate

491
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 2: eight number two.

492
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 1: Hey, it's Sam, your og host. Here we're gonna get

493
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: back to the stories, but here's three minutes of ads

494
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: from our sponsors.

495
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 2: My oldest nephew went mental in my house. So to

496
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 2: start off with, yes, I did get more cameras, one

497
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 2: installed right above the shed, so it looks like I've

498
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 2: got the whole area covered. I want to say that

499
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 2: my sister and brother in law, as well as my

500
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: nephews have learned from this wholer deal, but that's not

501
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: entirely the case, you see, especially for my eldest nephew,

502
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 2: who couldn't let go of wanting revenge on me, and

503
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 2: he stupidly tried to get it. Here is what happened Treekap.

504
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: As my previous readers know, my nephew stole a buttload

505
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 2: of cans from my shed after breaking into it and

506
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 2: cash them in at the bottle drop for about two

507
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: hundred bucks. My sister and brother in law acted like

508
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: I was an a hole for wanting the money back

509
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 2: for the cans and damages. I ended up pressing charges,

510
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 2: but they refused to pay and things got pretty ugly.

511
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 2: I filed a small claims lawsuit and they had to

512
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 2: pay me back for the cost of the damages. Theft,

513
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 2: emotional damages for constant harassment, and the lawsuit itself, all

514
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 2: adding to about five hundred bucks, which finally made my

515
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: sister and brother in law raise the white flag and

516
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 2: actually start parenting them. M mmm. My nephew's all their

517
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 2: privileges taken away and were forced to be and were

518
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: forced by a judge to work on community service, which

519
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 2: they hated and had to be forced just to complete.

520
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 2: They didn't get more than one hundred hours each because

521
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,959
Speaker 2: I'd been repaid by their parents and we settled out

522
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: of corpse. Still hundred hours each. That's that's a lot.

523
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 3: That's a lot. That's more than the amount of hours

524
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 3: that you have to drive with a driving instructor before

525
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 3: you can get your license.

526
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 2: That's all.

527
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 3: Uh, well, definitely more than you have to drive with

528
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 3: the driving instructor, but also just with I guess an adult.

529
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 2: With the permit. Yeah right, that's amazing that you still

530
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 2: remember that.

531
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 4: She kind of remembered it.

532
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 2: Fifty So the judge pretty much fast tracked the case here.

533
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: My nephews ended up picking up garbage and doing work

534
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 2: around several local parks. Also, the irony of they stole

535
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: like cans and now.

536
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 3: They have to pick up, and every time they pick

537
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 3: up a can, someone like some of someone's like you're not.

538
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 3: You don't even get to sell it. You just get

539
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 3: to throw it away.

540
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 2: You get to throw it in the garbage like the

541
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 2: garbage you are. And the man directing him, I heard,

542
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 2: was a retired drill sergeant, so they had no fun whatsoever.

543
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 2: My eldest nephew constantly showed his issues with authority and

544
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 2: got into screaming matches with everyone who told them to work.

545
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 2: His father had to be called over just to make

546
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 2: the boy pick up a rake. The kid openly blamed

547
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 2: me for his predicament, and his brothers were initially on

548
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 2: his side, but after a while they realized that he's

549
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 2: just crazy and entitled and they no longer wanted any

550
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 2: part of it. That's wow, So away from the ringleadero

551
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 2: starting their own little whoa not my monkey, not my circus,

552
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 2: not not clown anymore, That's what the brother said. So

553
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 2: my two younger nephews stopped following his lead because it

554
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 2: finally clicked just how wrong in the wrong they were.

555
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 2: Problem is is that my sister in line brother blamed

556
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 2: me for the divide in their family. Which didn't end

557
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 2: well for them, as no one in the family was

558
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 2: on their side about it, Thank god, everyone was. Everything

559
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: was put on them and their bad parenting, and without

560
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 2: me to blame, they just became silent and bitter. Half

561
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: the family don't want to even associate with him, and

562
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 2: now their own kids are divided because the eldest refuses

563
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 2: to change. It got so bad that my eldest nephew

564
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: resorted to something incredibly dumb that you're not gonna want

565
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: to believe it. Oh, Opie, I'll believe it. Sophia over there,

566
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 2: she'll believe it.

567
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 4: Riley over there, I'm believing, dude, he believes.

568
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 2: This is a room of believers. Be not doubt believe that.

569
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 3: Call me. Imagine dragons because I'm a believer.

570
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 4: Imagine Jagon's nuts closed your face.

571
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 3: Ah got him?

572
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 2: Oh so, he says, in the middle of the night,

573
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 2: he sneak out and attacked my house with a pair

574
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 2: of his dad's claw hammers. I say a pair because

575
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 2: he literally had one in each hand. My god freaking

576
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 2: ice climber.

577
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 3: What kind of vigilante justice is this?

578
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 2: Vigilante injustice?

579
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 3: Justice?

580
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 2: The first thing he did was star by smashing the

581
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 2: new lock on the shed and it didn't break nice,

582
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 2: but he heavily damaged it to the point it was

583
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 2: no longer usable and I had to later remove it

584
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 2: with a pole with a pair of cutters. Dang. He

585
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: also did a lot of damage to the shed door

586
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 2: with the hammer claws. I awoke to the sounds of

587
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 2: hammers and called the police after peeking out of my

588
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: bedroom window and seeing someone outside hitting the shed.

589
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 3: He can't catch a break right though.

590
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 2: I didn't realize it was him at first because he

591
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 2: had his face covered with a creepy looking mask. I

592
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 2: bet it was like the with the fox. Uh what

593
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 2: is it? The one from the plays and stuff? Ah

00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 2: I might be wrong on that. I might be computing

Speaker 2: it's in lame miss It might be I could I

Speaker 2: You'll know you literally you're gonna see.

00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 3: It, like, oh my gosh, yesh vendetta.

604
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 2: Yes, we go. Sorry, guys, I don't watch movies. Shows

605
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: are plays, apparently, so he saw the bending lights come

606
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 2: on and chucked one of the hammers through my window.

607
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 2: There was broken glass everywhere, and I'm lucky I didn't

608
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 2: cut my feet on any of it because I was barefoot. Dude,

609
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: he's he's freaking lucky the hammer didn't hit him.

610
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, dude, then the kid would have been

611
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 3: charged for way more.

612
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 2: Then my nephew started beating on my back door with

613
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: a remaining hammer he did. He did major damage, breaking

614
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: the knob and the window on the door, and also

615
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 2: tore into the door itself with the hammer claw. I

616
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 2: was worried the door wouldn't hold, so I yelled. The

617
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 2: police were on there. White with the police were on

618
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: their way, and he and he took off before they arrived.

619
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 2: His his part of his work should be to be

620
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 2: rebuilding everything in Opie's house. Yeah, that would be fire.

621
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

622
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: The night vision on my cameras showed it was him.

623
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 2: He had a mask on, but he was wearing his

624
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: high school hoodie as well bid stupid boy, Oh my god,

625
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 2: as well as his Nike shoes that were pretty identifiable

626
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 2: since his brothers don't have a hair like them. His

627
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: fingerprints were also all over the hammer he threw out

628
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 2: my window. This is Bro is not a professional. Not

629
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 2: a professional. My nephews had already all been fingerprinted when

630
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 2: they were arrested the first time, so the police matched

631
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 2: the ones on the hammer to him. When the cops

632
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 2: came from my eldest nephew, he obviously denied it was him.

633
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 2: But there's no one else that could have been officers.

634
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 2: I swear someone else has got my fingerprints. They stole

635
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 2: my Nike shoes and my my fingers.

636
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 3: My I was trying to think of a fake high

637
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 3: school name, James Madison High School.

638
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 2: Nice. Just name a president that's pretty probably safe. Bet

639
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 2: there's gotta be one out there. The other hammer was

640
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 2: found in his room, along with the clothes and the masking.

641
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: War is Bro is looking like Luigi over here.

642
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 3: It's not like daveed it.

643
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 2: They planted it. My own shoes they planted it.

644
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 3: They planted my fingerprints they did.

645
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 2: All of which were taken as evidence. The mask was

646
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 2: of a Star Wars character I was told is called

647
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 2: the Grand Inquisitor.

648
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is.

649
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: We're looking it up I don't know that one this time, though,

650
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 2: his parents did nothing to try to protect him, and

651
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 2: they didn't try to pass the blame onto me either.

652
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 2: They just let their son be taken away screaming. O. Wait.

653
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 2: I wasn't there to see the arrest, but I was

654
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 2: told by my sister that my eldest nephew was switching

655
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 2: back and forth from crying that he didn't do anything

656
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 2: to screaming that it was all my faults and he

657
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: had to get back on me. He had to. The

658
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 2: boy had to go through a serious mental evaluation and

659
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 2: was found to be potentially bipolar, which, like, honestly at

660
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,719
Speaker 2: least good that the parents and him now know.

661
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 3: Well, that's what I was gonna say. That's such like

662
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 3: a their parents are lacking so much in Their parents

663
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,719
Speaker 3: got to the point where something that could have been

664
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 3: easy diagnosable and like hopefully, like like they could help

665
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 3: this kid went like it was put off for so

666
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 3: many years because they just wouldn't. They refuse to punish

667
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 3: or do anything to this kid.

668
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 2: And and you know this, I'm sure there's amazing parents

669
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: out there that that didn't put two and two together

670
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 2: to take their kids to be tested. But it's like

671
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 2: observing your child's behavior. I'm sure there's a lot of

672
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 2: people that did do that. It's like, oh, something seemed

673
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 2: very off, so we took them in because we're caring

674
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 2: for our children. We're trying to figure out what's going on,

675
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 2: so we can help.

676
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 3: Them to like even acknowledge that the kids were doing

677
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 3: anything literally literally.

678
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, doesn't really excuse what he did, though, Oh, he says.

679
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 2: Later on, when he was properly diagnosed as bipolar, he

680
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: started blaming everything he did wrong on that and acted

681
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 2: like he should be vilified just for getting treatment for it.

682
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 2: But he ended up having a month long stint in

683
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 2: juvenile hall. WHOA, They got my nephew properly medicated, and

684
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 2: he pleaded guilty to forego court again in exchange for

685
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 2: more community service and mandatory counseling, as well as probation.

686
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 2: This time, his dad came to my house and personally

687
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 2: replaced the broken window and door, though he barely said

688
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 2: a word to me while doing it. I still want

689
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 2: I still want old Stephan to do it.

690
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

691
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 2: My two younger nephews are still excluding their older brother

692
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 2: from pretty much everything, and he still hasn't apologized for

693
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: attacking my home either. He's also unfortunately repeating a school

694
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 2: year because of how badly his grades tanked, which his

695
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 2: parents are still very unhappy about. My two younger nephews

696
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 2: dropped by on their own in July just to apologize

697
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: to me.

698
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 3: Ah, that's change. Well, I feel like they're under the

699
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 3: you know, his thumb.

700
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 2: The criminal Worldwide Organization syndicate oldest nephew incorporated firm. They

701
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 2: said they always just followed their brother's lead, and he

702
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 2: made everything they were doing seem so fun, but the

703
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 2: punishments for their crimes were not worth the kind of

704
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 2: fun they were having, and they don't want anything to

705
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 2: do with it. And more, they want their fun uncle

706
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 2: back and asked if we could start over whoa And

707
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 2: I said no, your freaking nephews just kidding, Obie said,

708
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 2: I said we can. We can do it, but they'll

709
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 2: have to earn back my trust, which they happily agreed to.

710
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 2: Now my oldest my oldest nephew had his seventeenth birthday

711
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: a few months ago and basically got nothing, not even

712
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 2: a cake. It was part of his punishment for what

713
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 2: he'd done. I can only imagine how much money he's

714
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 2: cost his parents in this year alone, he led his

715
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 2: brothers to steal from me and then destroyed my bedroom

716
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 2: window and back door I imagine in total with the lawsuit

717
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 2: I had previously filed and replacing both the door and

718
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: the window cost him over a thousand dollars. Not fun

719
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 2: when it's not necessary.

720
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 3: Three kids in a mortgage.

721
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 2: I believe they have three kids and a mortgage. And

722
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 2: it's this time of year, and whatever time of year

723
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 2: this is, you know, And I have a mortgage honestly,

724
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 2: any time of year, any time of hear and then

725
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 2: doors and windows are not cheap ladies and gentlemen. So meanwhile,

726
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 2: my youngest nephew had his birthday a month after that

727
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 2: and got a new mountain bike amongst his gifts. This

728
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: really upset my eldest nephew, and he slashed the tires

729
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 2: on the bike with a kitchen cutting shingshing device, which

730
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 2: landed him in even more trouble. I know a thing

731
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 2: or two about fixing bikes, so I went out and

732
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,919
Speaker 2: bought new tubes and tires for the bike and put

733
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 2: them on it. So the bike is fine, and my

734
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 2: nephew thanked me a lot for fixing it. My eldest

735
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 2: nephew resorted to trying to run away because he wasn't

736
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 2: being enabled anymore. He just walked out, got on his

737
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,919
Speaker 2: bike with a backpack full of stuff, and rode off.

738
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 2: His parents basic quickly reported him missing because he left

739
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 2: a goodbye letter that basically blamed me and his bipolar

740
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 2: disorder for all his problems. In the letter, he stated

741
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 2: that he can't wait till he's eighteen to get away

742
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 2: from us all. So he was doing us a favor

743
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 2: by getting rid of himself sooner. But he came back

744
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 2: three days later without his biker backpack and looking beat up.

745
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 2: He wouldn't tell anyone what happened. We still don't know,

746
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 2: but he was chewed out for continuously using me as

747
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 2: a scapegoat for his personal issues, because blaming me it

748
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 2: was the first thing he did after he got back.

749
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 2: Bro loves he plays hot Potato with that blame. He's

750
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 2: just like, oh, not me, that's you, He's potato Christian.

751
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 3: It's oh pie's fault, and also my bipolar. And also

752
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 3: it's that time of year and I have a mortgage.

753
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: I have a mortgage in three kids. I'm seventeen years old.

754
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 2: It's not my parents. It's me. They were lying.

755
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 3: Twenty seven years old. I have no prospects. I'm afraid.

756
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 2: But Opie says, I didn't make him steal from me.

757
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 2: I didn't make him attack my house. I didn't make

758
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 2: him run away.

759
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 3: Conspiracy theory.

760
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 2: Talk to me.

761
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 3: Oh, he's been behind it all along. Why insurance money?

762
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 2: Whoa? He partners with the oldest nephew to siphon out

763
00:36:58,200 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 2: a thousand dollars.

764
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 3: But he's sending like like they're like anonymous, like if

765
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 3: you choose to accept this kind of messages, and the

766
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 3: eldest brother's like, yeah, I'm gonna do it. And it's like, uh,

767
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 3: what's that movie with the magicians? Now you see me?

768
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 3: It's like that.

769
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 2: I get it, Like it's it's guys. Look it's the

770
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 2: the real magic is coming together.

771
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 3: M hmm. Yeah, John's seen it.

772
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 2: I did it. I did it. I watch movies.

773
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 3: You watched.

774
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,760
Speaker 2: I watched movie movies. Thank you for the alub Sophia.

775
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 2: I greatly appreciate that. Thanks. So that was all him,

776
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 2: and he nearly ended up back in juvie for running

777
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 2: off because he violated his probation, but he got off

778
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 2: easy somehow. Currently, he spends his days pretty much in

779
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 2: his room when not in school or doing chores or

780
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 2: going counseling. He finished his community service, but his probation

781
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 2: will last at least until he's eighteen. He's got some

782
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 2: leniens for being but diagnosis bipolar, but it couldn't get

783
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 2: him off the hook. And believe me, he tried many times.

784
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 2: Once they told him what was wrong with him. I

785
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 2: became his excuse for everything, but plenty of people go

786
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 2: their whole lives with that same mental condition and never

787
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 2: knew the kinds of things that he did. I've been

788
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 2: mending things with my two younger nephews, but I don't

789
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 2: want to be around the eldest at all, and the

790
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 2: feeling is very mutual on his part. I've only seen

791
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 2: him once in person the past few months, and he

792
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 2: glared at me with more hate than I'd ever seen

793
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 2: from anyone before stomping away. He can't paint me as

794
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 2: the villain anymore without being called out on it, so

795
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 2: there isn't much he can do other than just try

796
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: and get through this. For the most part, He's totally

797
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 2: shut down since school started. I'm told he barely speaks

798
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 2: even at school. My other nephews tell me he's getting

799
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 2: laughed at and ostracized. Wow, so even the school worried.

800
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 3: I didn't want that Yerson around other kids.

801
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think there at least needs to be a

802
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 2: closer eye and more checking in or communicate, Like he's.

803
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 3: Getting bullied at school and we already know that is

804
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 3: a history of violence. Yeah, I wouldn't want that person

805
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 3: around other kids.

806
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and his own mental health, like maybe maybe he

807
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 2: needs like maybe.

808
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 3: You just I don't know, like is there another kind

809
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 3: of institute kind of thing that he.

810
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 2: Can go to, Yeah, homeschool with like you know, you

811
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 2: you do like a lot of like like just like

812
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 2: hiking and stuff like that as like part of something

813
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 2: something something something right.

814
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 3: It's dangerous.

815
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 2: I Yeah, I think I think we need to look

816
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 2: into this more, Opie says, which I don't think is

817
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 2: going to help him get better. My sister and brother

818
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 2: in law are also not on the best terms with

819
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 2: me right now as well, but they can't exactly put

820
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 2: any blame on me either. They know is all them

821
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 2: and their own bad parenting. I basically push hush forced

822
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 2: force them to be more active in their kids' lives,

823
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 2: which they should have been doing already. They complain a

824
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 2: lot about being tired from work and having to keep

825
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 2: an eye on their kids, so whenever we talk as

826
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 2: of late, it's always awkward and forced. They don't come

827
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 2: to my house or me to theirs, but we do

828
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 2: see each other at my parents' house and are mother

829
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 2: demands we'd be civil there, which I have no problem with.

830
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 2: My two younger nephews have regained most of their privileges.

831
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 2: They got their TV and video games back, but my

832
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 2: eldest isn't allowed on them at all. I'm told he's

833
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 2: got some electronic entertainment in his room, but what kind

834
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just know he spends most of

835
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 2: his time in there unless he has somewhere else to be.

836
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 2: My eldest nephew is also not welcome pretty much anywhere

837
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 2: in the family anymore. I've recently heard from my parents

838
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 2: that they don't even want to see him on Thanksgiving

839
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 2: or Christmas Eve this year because they are sick of

840
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 2: his behavior and petty thievery real quick here, So just

841
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 2: to talk on the topic we were just talking about,

842
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 2: I feel like for his own good, I mean, look

843
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 2: the other members of the family. I guess you don't

844
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 2: have any control over what they do. But like, as

845
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 2: the parents of the kids, as the it was a

846
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 2: sister and brother in law, I believe I'm my Like,

847
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 2: how do we rehabilitate yea, the eldest nephew.

848
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he's just kind of on this downward spiral, Yeah,

849
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 3: which is going to get a lot more dangerous. Yeah,

850
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 3: the more he he feels victimized.

851
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

852
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 3: And yeah. And like now that the whole family is

853
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 3: kind of isolating or he's isolated from the entire family,

854
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 3: not good.

855
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 2: Not a good look. And I feel like generally, like

856
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 2: obviously sometimes you know, punishments are good, but I feel

857
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 2: like generally a like rehabilitation mindset with like everything, but

858
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 2: like raising kids, like, Okay, how do I how do

859
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 2: I get them to almost like feel like it's their idea.

860
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 2: If he spends the time in the forest or whatever

861
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 2: the case might be, does his his other schooling program whatever,

862
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 2: can he like kind of come to this realization on

863
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 2: his own much easier than done? Yeah, not pretending like

864
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 2: that's just you know, a snap of the fingers. But

865
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 2: I feel like at this point, just being communicating with

866
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 2: him more, trying to find some of those out just

867
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 2: trying trying some of those happenues. Feel like is an outlet,

868
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 2: let's they use Sophia.

869
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 3: I know. I agree. I think, like obviously you want

870
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 3: like a kid should have some sort of consequences for

871
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 3: actions that are bad, But when it's this type of kid,

872
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 3: I think it's more dangerous for their people around him. Yeah,

873
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 3: this is not a solution.

874
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good point because it really depends on

875
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 2: the kid and like what, what's their situation everything, So

876
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 2: that's what we think. Let us know in the comments

877
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 2: what you guys think. I'm very curious, so I guess

878
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 2: I only can understand that, but even I feel it's

879
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 2: a bit harsh. My sister and brother in law do

880
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 2: as well, because they are threatening to boycott if he

881
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 2: can't come to either holiday. I can't stand that kid

882
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 2: and would not want him on my home either, so

883
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 2: I can understand why they've made that decision, but I

884
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 2: don't think excluding him from everything and everyone is going

885
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 2: to make him better. It's going to take a long

886
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 2: time for my eldest nephew to mend those bridges, if

887
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 2: they can be mended at all. The way things stand,

888
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 2: he may try running off again once he's of age,

889
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 2: unless last time is scared him too much to try

890
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 2: it again. Hopefully things will get better for him in time,

891
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 2: if it's not too late to fix his behavior. I

892
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 2: may not like him, but he's still my nephew and

893
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 2: I care, but I'm kind of powerless to do anything.

894
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 2: So for now, the most I can do is keep

895
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 2: my nose out of it and offer support where I can.

896
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 2: Update number three and I believe that this WHOA the

897
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 2: very final update, which it exactly is well. But yeah, Sofiel,

898
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 2: what are what are what are our thoughts going into

899
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 2: this final update?

900
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 3: I'm just really hoping they find, like they think of

901
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 3: some way to help this kid, because him going back

902
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 3: to Juvie is not going to do anything. Yep, Like

903
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 3: I don't know, Juvie is not. From what I know,

904
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 3: it's not really focused a lot on like reform.

905
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see.

906
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 3: Scared straight kind of yeah, which doesn't work for most kids. Yeah,

907
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:58,760
Speaker 3: it's just usually kind of a pipeline to prison later. Yeah,

908
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 3: so I feel like we need, Yeah, I really need

909
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 3: to intercept this, as you said, like.

910
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 2: Lean into the parenting more and like child, I mean

911
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 2: your child basically like just like communicate with him a

912
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 2: ton like sit down and like have a conversation. That's

913
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 2: not you punishing them, you know, like how like just

914
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 2: I feel like the more you do that, the more

915
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 2: you will understand.

916
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 3: Why why were you acting out this way?

917
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 4: You know?

918
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 3: Maybe was there any sort of triggers that you had

919
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 3: that were because we heard that it was a sudden

920
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 3: shift in behavior, Like it doesn't seem like this just

921
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 3: you know, did we I thought that we heard that

922
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 3: he like started acting out this year or something, But

923
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 3: I might be wrong.

924
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 2: Possibly it does. Uh, I think it did kind of

925
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 2: at a minimum, allude to a history of like just

926
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 2: some maybe ne'er duellish behavior, but they definitely should be

927
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 2: like talking to him more, ask him directly in a

928
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 2: non confrontational way, like not like I pun of, g

929
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,760
Speaker 2: why are you It's like, hey, I'm like I generally

930
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 2: want to like sit down and like learn like what's

931
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 2: going on and like how are you feeling? And was

932
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 2: there something that triggered you and caused you to like

933
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 2: feel these strong emotions that made you want to do this.

934
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, not that that always works with kids, but it

935
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 3: seems like they're doing the like nothing, so anything is

936
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 3: better than nothing.

937
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 2: One thousand percent. Yeah, John, here og host. We're gonna

938
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 2: get back to these stories, but a quick three minute

939
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 2: break from as from our sponsors. So, my eldest nephew

940
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 2: got his front teeth knocked out at school and now

941
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 2: is a shut in. Oh this does not sound good.

942
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 2: I was hoping to have a better update for everyone

943
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 2: after the holidays, but things didn't really get better. They

944
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 2: started to and then went downhill again. It took some time,

945
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 2: but everything is more or less okay. Now. I didn't

946
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 2: post earlier because I thought it's better to wait. I

947
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 2: wrote most of this months ago, but I decided to

948
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 2: wait a little longer to see if the situation would improve.

949
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 2: But then I waited too long and just plain forgot

950
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 2: until recently. So here's hopefully the final update of the

951
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 2: devil snake who tempted his nephews with a shed full

952
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 2: of cans. I do a recap, but there's just two

953
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 2: dang much for that, so if you want another the rest,

954
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 2: you have to go back and read it. To start

955
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 2: this off with last year, my sister and brother in

956
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 2: law went to Thanksgiving at brother in law's house instead

957
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 2: of my parents. My eldest nephew wasn't exactly on his

958
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 2: best behavior there either, but it didn't cause any trouble

959
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 2: at least that's what they told everyone. At least. Sister

960
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 2: in law and brother in law also had a long

961
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 2: talk with our parents about how excluding my nephew would

962
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 2: not help his mental state at the moment, but they

963
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 2: did that that's good. Good also backed them on this

964
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 2: because the way things were going, all my nephew would

965
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 2: feel is hate. So my parents relented and let him

966
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,760
Speaker 2: come to Christmas Eve. I of course got him a gift,

967
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 2: but because I wanted to help him mentally get better,

968
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 2: in early December, I went out and bought him a

969
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 2: metallic green mountain bike at the local secondhand store. Now

970
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 2: it needed a bit of work, but it was an

971
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 2: excellent buy for thirty bucks. Wow, that is an excellent

972
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 2: by for thirty bucks. Also learned that sensus good backpack

973
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 2: was stolen. He's also using an old one that belonged

974
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 2: to one of his brothers. I grabbed a used one

975
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 2: at the same secondhand store for about five bucks. I

976
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 2: fixed up the bike, washed the backpack, and when I

977
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,240
Speaker 2: presented both to him on a Sunday, he seemed completely shocked.

978
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 2: I'd give him anything.

979
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 3: See, he just.

980
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 2: Needed a little bit of love, needs a little bit

981
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 2: of love. Guys, just give him a little bit of love.

982
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 2: So he seemed completely shocked to give him anything, and

983
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 2: it also made him really awkward, but he took them

984
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,320
Speaker 2: both with a look and said thanks again. I'm imagining

985
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 2: like Goyle, the Harry Potter taking it Unsunks, Dunks or

986
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 2: Dudley when he was sucks when he beat up Perry

987
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 2: Potter before the dementia came in.

988
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 3: I don't think you're a waste of spice.

989
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 2: I don't think spice of spice and started using them

990
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 2: right away to go to and from school like he

991
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 2: did with his old bike and backpack. Oh that's kind

992
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 2: of sweet. My sister and brother in law, we're all

993
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 2: so pretty dank shocks. I gave him gifts, let alone,

994
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 2: replace the stuff that was stolen from him when he

995
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 2: ran away after he attacked my house with hammers. But

996
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 2: the gifts had the effect I was hoping for. I

997
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 2: was no longer the object of his rage. He had

998
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,399
Speaker 2: really been looking for any excuse to make me out

999
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 2: to be the vile snake that ruined his life. But

1000
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 2: I'm not. When I next saw him. It was at

1001
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,839
Speaker 2: a family Christmas Eve party, and while there, my sister

1002
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 2: and brother in law made him apologize for putting all

1003
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 2: his anger on me. They loomed over him, and he's

1004
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 2: like like shadows while he talks to me. He was

1005
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 2: told to look at me in the eye repeatedly, and

1006
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 2: after his apology he admitted that it wasn't my fault.

1007
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 2: He was arrested. He egged me on. He stole from me,

1008
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,280
Speaker 2: and he damaged my property, and he wouldn't do it again.

1009
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 3: Plot twist, plot twist, plot twists.

1010
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:46,760
Speaker 2: Are we liking it? Yeah?

1011
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 3: I like it seems like he's turning a new leaf.

1012
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 2: Turning a new leaf. Maybe we shook hands and he

1013
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,879
Speaker 2: didn't make any trouble at the party at all. But

1014
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 2: his parents were like his shadows the entire evening. They

1015
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 2: didn't leave him alone at all. They might as well

1016
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 2: have had him on a leash. It was awkward, but

1017
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 2: I can understand why they'd put a lot on the

1018
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 2: line just so he could be allowed to come to Christmas.

1019
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 2: At New Year's Eve, things took a dive, though. No

1020
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 2: My oldest nephew stole a bottle of champag from his

1021
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 2: parents and drank it all fast while locked in the

1022
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 2: bathroom before anyone could stop him. Oh dear. He'd asked

1023
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 2: for a drink of it prior and was told that

1024
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 2: he was too young, so he stole one of the

1025
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 2: bottles and chugged it. We didn't know this until then,

1026
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 2: but apparently he'd been stealing booze for some time after

1027
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 2: his arrest, and he'd kept a hidden stash somewhere that

1028
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 2: slowly ran out as he only touched it little by little,

1029
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 2: and even sold some of it to other kids in

1030
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 2: the neighborhood. Oh man, Okay, maybe not.

1031
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 3: Maybe he's like tilted a leaf. He hasn't turned over.

1032
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 2: Are he turned over? Maybe? You know how you can

1033
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 2: like crack a little bit and then he's like he's cracked.

1034
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,359
Speaker 2: He folded like a corner of it, but like the

1035
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 2: majority of it.

1036
00:49:58,400 --> 00:49:59,919
Speaker 3: Is, it's still on the same side.

1037
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 2: He didn't get in a massive trouble. They just sent

1038
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 2: him to his room for the night after he stole

1039
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 2: the booze because he was just really craving it.

1040
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 3: Guys, you don't understand.

1041
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,280
Speaker 2: I just had a craving parents.

1042
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 3: I was got a sponsor, but I can't.

1043
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 2: Oh nice, work, good job, And it was New Year's I'm.

1044
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,839
Speaker 3: And it was that time of year, John, it was that.

1045
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 2: Time of year. They have a mortgage with three kids,

1046
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 2: What do you want from him? Let my kid chug

1047
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 2: the chumpung. Anyways, his brothers admitted to their parents about

1048
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,839
Speaker 2: his stash and showed them where it was hidden. It

1049
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 2: was a plastic tub in the crawl space under the house.

1050
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 2: When confronted about how he got all the bows, my

1051
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 2: two younger nephews admitted to following their brother's lead and

1052
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 2: stole only things like one layer at a time, or

1053
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 2: poured out some hard bows from its original bottle into

1054
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 2: another bottle, little by little, and then the biggest bum drop.

1055
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 2: They had been sneaking into other people bull's houses and

1056
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 2: doing the same thing all over the neighborhood.

1057
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 3: Would so good.

1058
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 2: They are just they should just honestly become professional like

1059
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 2: international criminals. Yeah, Like there was that movie that Ryan

1060
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:21,240
Speaker 2: Spy Kids, The Spy Kids. Oh that Adam yeah.

1061
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,320
Speaker 3: With the Walker Scobell.

1062
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 2: I don't know who that is, but he had like

1063
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 2: a big he had like a big fancy house somewhere internationally,

1064
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 2: and they came in like, hey, hey guy, we got

1065
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 2: we got one final crime for and he's like, I'm

1066
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 2: retired to my big, fancy crime mansion. Leave me alone.

1067
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 3: Oh you're not what I was seeing.

1068
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 2: Yeah you're yeah, you're thinking of the future. One Adam, Adam, Adam.

1069
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 3: Adam, Project Adam, Project Adam.

1070
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 2: Anyways, I remember the movie Be Proud of Me. So

1071
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 2: their way of breaking in was to look for unlocked

1072
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,399
Speaker 2: doors and windows. No houses with dogs because they'd bark,

1073
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 2: and the youngest would crawl through the windows because it

1074
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:56,280
Speaker 2: was the smallest.

1075
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 3: Is this an operation?

1076
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 2: Too much of an operation? Too much of an operation?

1077
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 2: And then he'd unlocked the doors to let his brothers in.

1078
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 2: They made sure not to steal anything big from inside

1079
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,760
Speaker 2: the houses so they could come back multiple times.

1080
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 3: Wow.

1081
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 2: Pretty smart.

1082
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 4: I thought the brothers were done, and Chat is saying.

1083
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 3: Like, I think they were. Sorry, what is Chad saying?

1084
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 2: I think what were you saying? Think they were?

1085
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 3: I think they were. I think they are done. Like

1086
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 3: the other two kids, I think this is just past

1087
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 3: stuff that they've.

1088
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 2: Done, right, right, But yeah, they're they're admitting to all

1089
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:27,800
Speaker 2: the stuff they did yeah in the past.

1090
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:29,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a new year, so they have to admit

1091
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 3: to all of the wrongdoings.

1092
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 2: Apparently they got dude.

1093
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 3: He missed that. I like, I'd like to apologize for

1094
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 3: all the things that I've done wrong this year. It's

1095
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 3: going to be a long list.

1096
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 2: I watched movies and this is the voice of the

1097
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 2: other person. It always goes back, It always goes back.

1098
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 2: No free sponsors. I would love to get sponsored by

1099
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 2: the movie. But soon come.

1100
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 3: Pee is coming. That's a line from the movie with

1101
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 3: guys chat.

1102
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 2: I'm trying to read the story.

1103
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 3: I'm here right, I'm here for you to read it.

1104
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:15,280
Speaker 2: I'm trying to read the story. We're blasting. We're blasting

1105
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 2: a c on us. We're quoting every single line. And

1106
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 2: then the freaking script to the screenplay for Nose Farasu

1107
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 2: Night So scary shush. So now they were just following

1108
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 2: their brother's lead like they had said before. Of course,

1109
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 2: the kids were in trouble for not admitting any of

1110
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 2: it until then, and despite trying to keep it secret,

1111
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 2: words still got out somehow. It confirmed some of the

1112
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 2: suspicions from the neighbors. Considering how good my nephews were

1113
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,399
Speaker 2: at being cat burglars, you'd think they'd have been more

1114
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 2: mindful of cameras or perhaps they'd just figured that old

1115
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 2: Uncle Yam would never get the cameras aka op. But

1116
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 2: after my nephews were exposed as thieves and a few

1117
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 2: of me and my sister's neighbors got cameras too, the

1118
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 2: punishment for admitting how they stole stuff was minor. From

1119
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 2: my nephews. It was kind of redundant for the eldest

1120
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,800
Speaker 2: because he's still in trouble with being on probation and whatnot. Yeah. Actually,

1121
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 2: as a kid, is there any like you know how

1122
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 2: you can like what is it when you snitch to

1123
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 2: get a lighter sentence, testifying test your testimony. Yeah, it's

1124
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 2: like a word for it. I don't know if I'm

1125
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 2: like winness protection, witness protection.

1126
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 3: It's like it's like you, yeah, I know what you're

1127
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:24,479
Speaker 3: talking about.

1128
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's like a specific word for it. Maybe not.

1129
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just like give us your testimony, we'll give

1130
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 2: you a freedom, give us information, the info, go snitch

1131
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 2: on him and he hadn't tried to steal anything else

1132
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 2: and took until he took the bottle of champagna. My

1133
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 2: brother in law started giving him lots of mint gum

1134
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 2: to chew on to help with his cravings because it

1135
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 2: was what he used to help cut back on drinking himself.

1136
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 2: Whoa guys, is there a history of drinking problems? Did

1137
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 2: he learn it from the dat? Yeah? What are we doing?

1138
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, Send him him to rehab.

1139
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is bad. This is he has an addiction.

1140
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 2: He has an addiction, like he's stealing. Yeah, think about

1141
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 2: it so bad he literally can't go out and buy it.

1142
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 2: So he's like, oh, what do I do? I have

1143
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 2: to go and rob from every house in my freaking neighborhood.

1144
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,840
Speaker 3: And I wonder, I wonder if the money that he

1145
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 3: sold from all the cans and stuff, what was he

1146
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 3: using that money for?

1147
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 2: True? I mean, it does seem like he's like foregoing

1148
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 2: like getting someone to buy it for him or whatever,

1149
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 2: and then just stealing it. But like still so so bad,

1150
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,879
Speaker 2: and like how are we not like, oh, it will

1151
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 2: just give him some gum. Yeah, like come come on,

1152
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 2: And it kind of helped. Brother in law also started

1153
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 2: keeping his booze his drinks locked in a padlocked fridge

1154
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,839
Speaker 2: in the garage. He suspects his son tried to get

1155
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 2: into it once. All that aside, things don't seem so

1156
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 2: bad until my eldest nephew got into a fight at

1157
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 2: school in February. I'm told that he didn't start it,

1158
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 2: but another kid picked on him until they started swinging fists.

1159
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 2: He got his two front teeth knocked out by the

1160
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 2: bully when he got his face slim locker. Oh my god.

1161
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 2: There ended up being a reason for this attack. My

1162
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 2: younger nephews told me the older brother had a number

1163
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 2: of targets to pick on at school before getting arrested.

1164
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 2: So it's like he was the bully to those guys

1165
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,720
Speaker 2: and they now they're coming back after.

1166
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,439
Speaker 3: Him because he's on probation. So there's like they're like, oh,

1167
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 3: we can get that.

1168
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to be on your best favorite kid.

1169
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 2: Yeah right, right right. I see. He was apparently the

1170
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 2: typical bully people picture when they think of one. He

1171
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 2: stole things from other kids, aimed on the small in

1172
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 2: the week, smacked them around when no one was looking,

1173
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 2: and on more than one occasion, used a small shing

1174
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 2: shing to stab bike tires. God thank god it was

1175
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 2: just that. Remember he did that to his brother's bikes?

1176
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 2: I think, yes, yeah, yeah, Well, the big brother of

1177
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 2: a kid he'd previously picked on went after him, and

1178
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,439
Speaker 2: that boy messed him up. Both of his front teeth

1179
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 2: were knocked out and his nose was broken. Oh my goodness.

1180
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 2: He had to be taken to the hospital and an

1181
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 2: emergency oral surgeon had to put his teeth back, which

1182
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 2: also required specials to hold him in place. His nose

1183
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 2: had to be reset, and he had to be put

1184
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 2: in a neck brace. The poor boy didn't want to

1185
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 2: be seen in front of anyone for months. No one

1186
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 2: pressed charges. Believe me, I've asked many times as to

1187
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 2: why not. But the other kid's parents paid at least

1188
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 2: half of my nephew's treatments for his teeth and nose

1189
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 2: to their insurance. I'm like, still press charges. You can't,

1190
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 2: you can't, you cannot do all. Yeah, Like it's good

1191
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 2: to like stand up to a bully in certain senses,

1192
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 2: but not that not doing that that is that is

1193
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 2: that is way way over the line, way over the line.

1194
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 2: That's what they told me. Anyway, My sister and brother

1195
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 2: in law's health insurance sucks for covering the rest though,

1196
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 2: and they had a high copay. They didn't bother filing

1197
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 2: anything because because they didn't want to be in court again,

1198
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 2: and the other parents only paid as much as they

1199
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 2: did because they didn't want to be sued. I contributed

1200
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 2: a bit to the cost to I still had the

1201
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars they'd given me in cash after I

1202
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 2: sued them and decided to give it back to them

1203
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 2: to help ease the cost a little. They won't tell

1204
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 2: me how much it costs to get my nephew's nose

1205
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 2: fixed and two front teeth put back in. But after that,

1206
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 2: I think they may have no savings left.

1207
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 3: Well, Yeah, they spent five hundred dollars for Ope, it's

1208
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 3: that time. They spent you know, another five hundred dollars

1209
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 3: all the legal fees. As John said, it's that time

1210
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 3: of year.

1211
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 2: Yep.

1212
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 3: They've got a mortgage, they've got three kids, and now

1213
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 3: they have to pay all this medical stuff.

1214
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 2: Honestly, I think probably with my guess of deductibles they paid,

1215
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say six to ten thousand. Yeah.

1216
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 3: Not parenting your kids is so much more expensive than

1217
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 3: parenting we could have just if you had just parented

1218
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 3: them from the beginning.

1219
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 2: We could have just parented.

1220
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 3: They'd probably be bringing money in.

1221
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 2: Right, collecting cans in an ethical way. Yeah, you know,

1222
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 2: going up to going to trash cans, cutting.

1223
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 3: Up those little uh cereal box tops ten cents.

1224
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:58,439
Speaker 2: We love a good box top ten cents.

1225
00:58:58,480 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 3: That's give to get a pizza party.

1226
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 2: That's a that's a gold mine.

1227
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 3: That's a gold thing about that.

1228
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 2: Thank ladies and gentlemen. When your parents, that's the lesson

1229
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 2: of this episode. When I saw my nephew after the incident,

1230
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 2: his face was messed up and his front teeth were

1231
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 2: wired in place. He refused to return to school and

1232
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 2: did all his remaining lessons online with a school provided laptop.

1233
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 2: The boy you beat him up, I was told received

1234
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 2: nothing more than a two week suspension. That's not right.

1235
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. What that's that's no, that's not right. I

1236
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 2: won't deny it. I was upset, but at the same time,

1237
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 2: I know this only happened because my nephew was a

1238
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 2: bully to other kids. What goes around does still eventually

1239
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 2: come around. But again, it's it's it's it's way too

1240
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 2: much like it's not like he was just like or

1241
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 2: what and you know he's just like, Okay, I won't

1242
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 2: you know, I won't engage it like he legitimately really

1243
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 2: really really really hurt.

1244
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 3: It also doesn't seem like this was a defense situation. Yes,

1245
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 3: this was espromp well prompted by past for.

1246
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 2: The past experience. The exact situation wasn't a defense, yeah,

1247
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 2: one hundred percent, which I think matters. We're in summer now,

1248
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 2: we're in a new season, maybe that time of year,

1249
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 2: who knows. And my eldest nephew is still a shut

1250
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 2: in most of the time. He'll go out on bike

1251
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 2: riding alone for an hour or two.

1252
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 3: It's nice that he has this outlet though, that ope

1253
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 3: he gave him right And I really, I really feel

1254
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 3: for him right now because he's learning to grapple with

1255
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 3: bipolar disorder.

1256
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 2: He's you know, not been parented well at all, so

1257
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 2: I think a lot of that contributes to, you know,

1258
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 2: the way he would treat the other kids like he's

1259
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 2: he's probably trying to get validation by putting all of

1260
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 2: these other kids down to feel some sort of sense

1261
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 2: of self security. He's freaking addicted to drinking like his

1262
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 2: dad at seventeen years old. Like I feel, really, I

1263
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 2: feel for him, I really feel for him. There have

1264
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 2: been talks from my sister and brother in law of

1265
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 2: moving closer to his parents after their son's probation is up,

1266
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 2: and I don't blame them. Practically, the whole neighborhood hates

1267
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 2: them now, so they want out as soon as they

1268
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 2: can afford it, which unfortunately may take another year or

1269
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 2: so just to pull off. But ladies and gentlemen, you

1270
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 2: don't have to wait a year, a month, or even

1271
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 2: a second to listen to full episodes of stories, just

1272
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 2: like the one you listen to right now. You know

1273
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 2: how they do that? Sofia, you go.

1274
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 3: On Spotify, Apple Podcasts, what are your favorite podcasts? App

1275
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 3: and search up? Okay, storytime.

1276
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 2: It's so easy, it's so easy. But we're about done

1277
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 2: with this god story, that sad sad story.

1278
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 3: Like was almost getting better. And yeah, like just so

1279
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 3: much someone like press the leaf back down.

1280
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it did not turn over the leaf. They just

1281
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 2: they just just blew the leaf away. I don't know

1282
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 2: what are what are some closing thoughts here, Sophia.

1283
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 3: It just seems like everyone's failing this kid. Yeah, and

1284
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 3: obviously he's done a lot wrong and that shouldn't be

1285
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 3: just kind of it shouldn't be pushed because.

1286
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 2: I shouldn't be brush under the rug.

1287
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 3: Well, that's that is the problem. It's been pushed so

1288
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 3: many times, and I'm just just hoping that this kid

1289
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 3: gets the help that he needs because I don't want

1290
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 3: him to progress to a point where he is a

1291
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 3: danger to himself and others on what he already is.

1292
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 2: Sophia Collen says, does he have therapy like he should?

1293
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 2: Ten million? I think I think they mentioned he wasn't counseling,

1294
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 2: but like, I mean, these parents really got to lock

1295
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 2: in and again, like Sophia said, if they had just

1296
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:36,439
Speaker 2: parented in the beginning and realized, like I'm sorry, any

1297
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 2: rational human is like, oh my kid is literally like

1298
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 2: stealing from their uncle and like like peeing all over

1299
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 2: their floor. Oh yeah, that's wrong. Something's wrong. I need

1300
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 2: to get involved. And I'm not even saying you have

1301
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 2: to bring down the hammer of justice and be like

1302
01:02:54,240 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 2: super like punishy, punishy, but like we need to do something, yeah, something.

1303
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 3: And it's it's really hard to do something this late,

1304
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 3: Like when you've let when you've let everything slide for

1305
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 3: so long and you've let it progress at this point,

1306
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:14,000
Speaker 3: it is really hard to kind of be like, Okay,

1307
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 3: we're going to put some punishments in place. We're gonna

1308
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 3: put some like guidelines and stuff because the kid has

1309
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 3: been getting away with stuff for so long, and so

1310
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 3: he's just not gonna respect you guys. Yeah, so it

1311
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 3: is hard, but you need to do.

1312
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 2: It one hundred percent. I couldn't agree more. I couldn't

1313
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 2: agree more. But let's close out this episode with this

1314
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:33,919
Speaker 2: final part. Obie says, I have been spending more time

1315
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 2: with my two younger nephews and they are doing a

1316
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 2: lot better now. They're more respectful and have been allowed

1317
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 2: back in my home. Nothing has gone missing, and I

1318
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 2: enjoy spending time with them, watching movies and playing games.

1319
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 2: They've become good kids too, and they're trying to make

1320
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 2: up for their mistake. On the rare occasion I see

1321
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 2: my eldest nephew. He is not cold to me anymore.

1322
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 2: He even brought his bike to me for repairs once.

1323
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 2: But he's a boy a few words now, almost stoically

1324
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 2: silent these days. I do you know that when he's

1325
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 2: eighteen he wants to be far away from here. We've

1326
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 2: suggested trade school, and he's not against the idea. Beyond that,

1327
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 2: I've been doing my best not to overstep as an uncle.

1328
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 2: So that's it. After all this time, I may have

1329
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 2: nothing more to write here. Wow, Yeah, I feel sad.

1330
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 3: Me too.

1331
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 2: I feel sad like again, like the kid deserves better

1332
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, Like he is. He's

1333
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 2: dealing with a lot of things that I think stem

1334
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 2: from you know, the dad's drinking problem, maybe hereditary at

1335
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 2: least set the example having bipolar disorder, no fault of

1336
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 2: his own, Like I, I truly think this is a

1337
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 2: case of a child who wasn't parented when he needed

1338
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 2: it most. Yet absolutely, and that's that. But guys, if
