1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: You think I'll spend time with my little sister, you idiot.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: There's nothing you can say that will change my mind.

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: I mean, how could you be so dumb you think

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 2: you're going to spend time with their own family.

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: Family's family. I'm all about Pokemon these days. I want

6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: to catch them all, not to catch feelings for my

7
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: freaking family. I'll have bam out here and try to

00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:30,639

Speaker 3: Yes, yeah the iPhone game? Yeah yeah.

00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: Screer family played Pokemon Go. Anyway, I twenty four mail

18
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: and my wife recently had her five year anniversary. We

19
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: had planned to go to a nice restaurant, then ride

20
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: in a hot air ballue that hot air balloon about

21
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: to get a little hotter if you're doing this your anniversary,

22
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: and then go to a lake and relax. I was

23
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: going to buy her flowers and everything. Then out of

24
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: the blue, one day before my anniversary, I got a

25
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: text for my mom demanding me babysit my sister for

26
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: a week while she and my dad got to go

27
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: visit my aunts, who recently got diagnosed with leukemia. Oh gosh,

28
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: why do they get to have all the fun?

29
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: Yeah? Really?

30
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: Now I love my sister. Notice no uh mention of

31
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: the aunts. We're eighteen years apart, but are still closer

32
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: than ever. She had challenges being neuro diverse, but she's

33
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: a good kid. I was debating whether to say yes,

34
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: but I didn't want a kid until while I was

35
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: having my date with my hot ass hot air balloon wife.

36
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: Oh god, So I politely declined and didn't get an answer,

37
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: so I thought it was okay. The next day, we're

38
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: at the restaurant when my phone starts puzzling like crazy.

39
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: I check it and it's filled with texts from my

40
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: mom and my dad. They're calling me all sorts of

41
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: things and saying that they showed up in my house

42
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: only for it to be empty. They're now ignoring me

43
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: when I write to them, and I haven't gotten an answer.

44
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: Am I the a hole? So there are some edits

45
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: before I want to go into the breakdown with John.

46
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: But before, as I'm going through these edits. Please type

47
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: in the comments let us know what you think, because

48
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: you know we're just blu dammies exposing our ideas on

49
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: the internet. But we want to hear from you, so John,

50
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: we do just more information before you make your decision.

51
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: In the breakdown Edit one, my wife and I also

52
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: work for more than half of those days that the

53
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: sister would have to be over there. My sister is

54
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: currently staying with a family friend who we've known all

55
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: our lives. My aunt is not in critical condition. She's

56
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: doing just fine minus I guess the leukemia. She also

57
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: lives far away and it takes it a couple hours

58
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: to get to her an update. I've gone over to

59
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: my friend's house and gotten them food for the kind gesture,

60
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: So basically the friend that's taking care of the sister.

61
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: I can clearly see that my sister enjoys the twins

62
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: company and the friend doesn't work, so I intend to

63
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: keep her there. However, the friend for me that my

64
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: parents were talking bad about me and my wife and

65
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: her messages. She told me they were berating me for

66
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: being a bad son, and that my wife probably convinced

67
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: me to stay away for an important situation. I intend

68
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: to speak to them once they come back. I don't

69
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: want to intrude on my leukemia ridden aunt though. So

70
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: with that new information, is Op, the a hole are

71
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: the parents? The a hole is the aunt? The a

72
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: hole for having leukemia? John tell me the aunt is No,

73
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding.

74
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: Okay.

75
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: So to understand, basically, OP had this thing set up

76
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: with his wife right where they were going to go

77
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: on this yeah yeah, hot air balloon, Hot air balloon. Oh,

78
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: then they were going to get a hot air balloon.

79
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: Mom hits him with the thing, can you take care

80
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: of your sister? But then he was able to arrange

81
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: another setup, which was good because it looks like the

82
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: sister like totally enjoyed hanging out with the people that

83
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: she was with.

84
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: So I don't think he was able to arrange it.

85
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: I think that's just what ended up happening because the

86
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,839
Speaker 1: parents never heard from Op.

87
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, oh wow, Okay, okay, I'm gonna make a decision.

88
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: Op's a hole because he didn't respond. If he had

89
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: responded and let them know and let them know like, hey,

90
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: I planned this thing, is there any way we could

91
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: figure out a different configuration and maybe helped with that

92
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: then I feel like it would have been cool.

93
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: Well, he politely declined, Op, politely declined and didn't get

94
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: an answer, so he thought it was okay, right, right, right, right?

95
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: So what do you say to that, Johnny boy?

96
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: Why are you throwing a wrench in my decisions over here? Yeah?

97
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: Bro, I'm just I'm just wrenching up. Call me Bob

98
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: the plumber, okay, because I'm throwing a wrench in your plumbing.

99
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 3: Oh goodness, what I want your answer? What do you think? Oh?

100
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: My answer? I don't think, Op, he's being an a

101
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: hole by any means. Now, Yeah, I mean like he

102
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: even like helped out the family friend with some food

103
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: once he found out, like he said, he couldn't do it.

104
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: And ultimately, the sister is the parent's responsibility, and he's

105
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: got he's got to think and plan with his wife.

106
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: Like you can't necessarily, you can't drop a hot air balloon, Nope,

107
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: can only float float.

108
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: My one reservation was like, what if they didn't find

109
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: something else? But also we could I guess they didn't

110
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: want to bring the sister because they didn't want her

111
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 2: to see her on in that state.

112
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: I would guess I don't know. Well, but it sounds

113
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: like the one in critical conditions, So.

114
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 2: Right right, okay, okay, all right, I'm gonna I'm gonna

115
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: totally bandwagon and say and say not the ahol.

116
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say not the.

117
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: Ahole, not the ahole. Yeah, I agree, I agree. Like

118
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: if I was Ope, I probably would have done the

119
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: same thing. I would have been like, hey, I'm busy

120
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: that weekend, h do you like really need it? Is

121
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: there anyone else that can do it?

122
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

123
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: And if I didn't get a response, I would just

124
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: assume everything's okay, yeah, and then go on. But I

125
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: think there was not a communication of like hey, like, hey,

126
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: we know we ended up doing it. It was just

127
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: like I'm going to talk bad about my son. Uh,

128
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: just like in the background. I think the parents are

129
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,159

Speaker 1: directly to the sun Like it's kind of that.

Speaker 1: All right, we got a story that we're gonna be cruising,

159
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be catching those pearly waves of beautiful blues.

160
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: And I got a story for you, John.

161
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: I am ready.

162
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: Ex girlfriend broke up with me after she caused me

163
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: to lose my leg in an accident, but now she

164
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: wants to get back together after I got a prosthetic leg.

165
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: You know, just just two reasonable people doing reasonable things.

166
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: Yes, isn't that reddit? Just reasonable people? It's interacting like

167
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: picking up an apple at the grocery store.

168
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: You know, you lose a leg, she hates you. You

169
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: get a leg, and she wants you back. You know,

170
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: it's it's par for the courses.

171
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: They now wondering what kind of leg that is. That

172
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: must have been some fancy leg to bring that lady

173
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: back into it.

174
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 3: Something we di leggy, Oh what you're doing that third leg? Baby?

175
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: In twenty nineteen, I got into a car accident and

176
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: injured my left leg severely. My ex girlfriend was the

177
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: one driving and was the one responsible for the accident

178
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: because she was fighting with me and yelling at me

179
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: in the car over a minor issue.

180
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

181
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: I advise her to either stop fighting or stop driving,

182
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: but she was reckless and didn't care that she was

183
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: risking not only my life but hers as well. I

184
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: suffered for months because of my leg I had a

185
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: severe infection resulting in amputation and have to use assistant

186
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: tools to be able to move. My ex girlfriend became

187
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: distant and my parents were my main careers. Her treatment

188
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: towards me took one hundred and eighty degree turn. Suddenly

189
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't good enough for her anymore. But at some

190
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: point she started comparing me to other fully functional guys,

191
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: claiming I wasn't the problem, It's just her low self esteem,

192
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: and so she was required to look for a partner

193
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: that was better looking and had financial stability and more

194
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: than one leg to stand on.

195
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 3: H Like what I know.

196
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: She made my trauma all about her and how being

197
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: with a guy with one leg affected her self esteem.

198
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: And imagine the pain that she'd have to go through

199
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: being in front of someone like.

200
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 3: That, Imagine having won or freaking leg.

201
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: She broke things off with me, and her relationship was

202
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: supposed to end that day, but I foolishly spent months

203
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: and months begging and convincing her that we were meant

204
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: to be together. I even promised her that I do

205
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: all I can to be able to walk again, and

206
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: reminded her of the plans we had together. And I

207
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: hated myself for it my self esteem.

208
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 3: Sam, are you hungry?

209
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,400

Speaker 2: Well, Sam, I know you love gobbling down them cucumbers.

212
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,720

235
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: wild stories with some crazy relationships, and although we love

236
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: reading these stories, I think sometimes it could be helpful

237
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: to have someone who can really help and talk.

238
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,160

254
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: Quick story. Before I was building podcast business, my little

255
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: entrepreneurial booty was selling stuff online. In middle school and

256
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: high school, it was me and my mommy. We'd be

257
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: in the garage selling all kinds of stuff and I

258
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: hated shipping. But you know what changed the game for me.

259
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: Ship station. And if y'all are selling anything online, you

260
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 2: have to use this platform. So it pulls in all

261
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: the sales from all the platforms you're selling on eBay, Amazon,

262
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: over one hundred others, and it automates the shipping task.

263
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 2: Like I cannot tell you how satisfying it is not

264
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: have to do all that stuff. And it literally price

265
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 2: compares all the shipping services, so you end up saving

266
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: so much money. I'm talking over eighty percent on usps

267
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: and ups.

268
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,360

Speaker 3: OPI. You gotta let her go, let her fly, let

278
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 3: it go. And now poor o pe. Self esteem is.

279
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was dealing with PTSD on top of that,

280
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: I afked up and resorted to medication to ease the pain.

281
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: Therapy was on and off for me because I get

282
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: extremely agitated at the mention of my ex girlfriend. It

283
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: took time for me to be able to talk things

284
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: out properly. I was so stupid thinking she was the one,

285
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: and it only got worse when I became convinced that

286
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: no one would accept me and my disability since it's

287
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: the reason my relationship with my ex girlfriend ended. My

288
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: parents luckily helped so much. They and a few of

289
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: my friends supported me to get through this tough time.

290
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: After seeing my overall health decline in the past six months,

291
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: I was given the opportunity to be able to walk

292
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: again after getting a prosthetic lake. It's long overdue, but

293
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: money was the main problem, and now that I'm better,

294
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: my health is getting better. My mental health has improved.

295
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: It was long overdue, but money was the main problem then.

296
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: But now that situation is better and I'm better. Now

297
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: my health is getting better, my mental health has improved,

298
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: and I've gained more self confidence.

299
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: It's good to hear.

300
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's good. Opie's on the up and up.

301
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: O Pie's on the up and up. My ex girlfriend

302
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: reached out to one of my friends, wanting to talk

303
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: to me about getting the prosthetic and bettering my health.

304
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: My friend was like a messenger between us, but I

305
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: kept her in the dark, so she knows nothing more

306
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: than my friend knows.

307
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 3: Hmmm, I add.

308
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: I made it clear that I have no intention to

309
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: speak to her or discuss my health with her. My

310
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: friend was respectful and stopped speaking to her about me.

311
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: She visited my mom last week and left her number

312
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: with her, expecting me to call. I was stunned that

313
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: she was talking to my mom, and my mom told

314
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: me that my ex was out of town, it was

315
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: low contact with everyone, and couldn't check in on me

316
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: despite wanting to. My mom told me the reason my

317
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: ex never visited me was because she was out of town,

318
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: in low contact with everyone, and couldn't check in on

319
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: me despite wanting to out of town.

320
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 3: Out of town, where's going? She said?

321
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: I've never left her mind, and she was feeling happy

322
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: and excited for my experience with my new prosthetic.

323
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 3: Right now.

324
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: She was waiting for me to call, so we can

325
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: get together and talk. But I didn't feel comfortable with

326
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: that idea. Yeah, I gotta say. I felt nostalgic and

327
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: wanted to call her number a few times, but some

328
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: part of me said that it wasn't a good idea

329
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: to do. So it's been a week and I didn't

330
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: call her. I'm not sure if I still have feelings

331
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: for her. My family thinks I should talk to her.

332
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: After all, we've known each other for seven years. It's

333
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: clear she wants to connect, but I don't think this

334
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: is what I want.

335
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 3: Should I talk to her? What do you think? John? No,

336
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: don't talk to her. She broke up with you about

337
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: your leg, Dude.

338
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: She's clear like something is wrong with her, and for

339
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: god knows what reason. Now that he's back with a leg,

340
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: she's like wanting to run back there.

341
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

342
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,920

352
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 4: to do until I bought a house in the suburbs.

353
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 4: Like when I'd say I'm going for coffee, of course

354
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 4: I was walking. But now it's like three miles and

355
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 4: no lattes worth that I find myself inviting people on

356
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 4: walks with me, like it's a scheduled activity. This morning,

357
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,040
