00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: Some disagree.

9
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 3: Well, the other day I saw in the am I

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 3: an a Hole? Thread, this guy was asking for penance

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: for being a bully in middle school to.

12
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: His now fiance. He was her bully in.

13
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 3: Middle school, and apparently she forgave him because now she

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 3: wants to marry him. And I'm thinking, nah, he still

15
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 3: wants to be a bully. It's like it's gonna be

16
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 3: like she's gonna be miserable for the rest of her life.

17
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 3: But it reminded me of Gandhi because you and your

18
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: boyfriend Brandon, you both had this bullying relationship.

19
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: And what grade was that? Was it? Middle school? I

20
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: was in sixth grade? Yeah?

21
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like a few things you guys used

22
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 3: to do to each other to antagonize each other was what.

23
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 4: Oh man, well, I will say I just responded, he

24
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 4: was so mean. He would pick on me on the bus,

25
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 4: throw bugs, pull my hair, say all kinds of mean

26
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 4: stuff to me. And then you know, I wrote in

27
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 4: my diary about it. But then I also wrote the

28
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 4: things I said back to him, and it was kind

29
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 4: of mutol combat.

30
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: I guess. Okay, so that was sixth grade. Yeah, of

31
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,639
Speaker 2: course he did. Gandhi. We totally We're on team Gandhi.

32
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 3: Now, so how many years did you guys go with

33
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 3: you and he didn't even talk to each other?

34
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 5: Oh?

35
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 4: Man, I mean ten, fifteen.

36
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 3: And then now and now you're like in a serious

37
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 3: relationship with each other.

38
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 4: Yes, And he grew up and he's no longer a bully.

39
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 4: It was great we reconnected. I mean, you know, thank

40
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 4: God for Facebook and Instagram and all these things, which

41
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 4: is how we ended up reconnecting. And as a grown up,

42
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 4: he didn't seem like a bully anymore. He seemed like

43
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 4: a nice guy. So we just started talking and I

44
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 4: thought he was cute. And here we are now.

45
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: Did he ever recognize the fact he was a bully

46
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: back in the day? Did he ever apologize to you

47
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: for it? But you know what, I'm sorry. I was

48
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: such an a hole on the bus.

49
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 4: He did not until I showed him my diary because

50
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 4: he's like, there's no way I was that mean, There's

51
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 4: no way I picked on you.

52
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: You picked on me?

53
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 4: Absolutely not. Then I showed him my diary entries and

54
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 4: he was like, oh, oh that sounds like me.

55
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: Yep, I probably did that. I'm really sorry. Okay.

56
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 3: He definitely he would not have called out of the

57
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 3: blue to apologize. He needed to be prompted and reminded

58
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 3: of how much of a bully he was. Absolutely so,

59
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 3: you know, Nate was saying, would it be interesting to

60
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: hear from people that recently heard from their school bully

61
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: or who they were the bully and they called to apologize,

62
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 3: to see how it worked out.

63
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people do it too.

64
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 5: I think a lot of people find the people that

65
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 5: they picked on and apologized later on in life.

66
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they feel bad.

67
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 6: Because I feel like, you grow up right and you realize, boy,

68
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 6: I really was an a hole back then. I wonder

69
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 6: if this person remembers that and they would accept an

70
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 6: apology for me. I wonder I wonder if Charlie Engel

71
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 6: what ever call me? Was he r bully Elvis?

72
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: Yes? He was really the only one.

73
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 3: And uh and what helped the situation out was most

74
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 3: people defended me in front of him.

75
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 2: You know, he would call me, you know, all sorts

76
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: of you.

77
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 3: Know, hey, gay boy, hey fag boy, and people look

78
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: at him like, shut up, idiot.

79
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 2: Excellent.

80
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 3: But anyway, by the way, someone just commented on text

81
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: help when you were kids, Brandon used to pull your

82
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: hair on the school bus.

83
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: Yes, well he probably still does pull your hair in

84
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: a way, doesn't he.

85
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I want to hear from you, and

86
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: maybe we may have to stretch this out and do

87
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: it later in the hour. Have you called to apologize

88
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: for being a bully or have you received an apology

89
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: from someone?

90
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:50,559
Speaker 2: And would you accept it? You know, think about it?

91
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: The gard bullying us with her computer.

92
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: No, I don't know, you know what I would accept

93
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 3: it to this point, you know me, I'm like forgive.

94
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: I don't know with some people.

95
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 5: But on how bad and how bad the bullying was,

96
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 5: like it was insanely ridiculous, then I don't know if

97
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 5: I would, you know, but if it was you know,

98
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 5: normal bullying, maybe so.

99
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: How many of these bullies turned out to be like

100
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: mass murder errors and evil people that right beat up

101
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 3: friends and colleagues and things.

102
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: I don't know.

103
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: I'm hoping that they all became good people. And then

104
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 3: I also wonder did I bully someone I don't know

105
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 3: about it? Do you ever wonder that? I don't think

106
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: I did because I was, I don't say anything. Maybe

107
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 3: I did, I don't think any.

108
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, someone emailed a radio station I used to work

109
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 4: at and said that I was terrible to them in

110
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 4: middle school and I ruined their lives and it was,

111
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 4: you know, awful and blah blah. So I'm like, oh

112
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 4: my god, that's terrible. Let me see who this person

113
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 4: is so that I can apologize. I think it's nonsense.

114
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 4: I have no idea who this person is. I've never

115
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 4: seen the name. Look through my yearbook to even try

116
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 4: and find anything close. No, I think it was a

117
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 4: nonsensical email. If that person is out there, Katie, I

118
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 4: won't say your last name. I'm really sorry, but I

119
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 4: would like details.

120
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 2: You can'tologize for something you don't know you did. That

121
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 2: makes no sense.

122
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 3: Text me in fifty five one hundred. I want to

123
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 3: hear all about it. Yeah, I didn't start bullying until

124
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 3: I came to work. Here right, I'm kidding. It's really

125
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: funny because we all love to pick on each other

126
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 3: on this show, and then people are like, god, you

127
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: go to you bully each other.

128
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: We're all best friends.

129
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: You got to think about your circle of friends where

130
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 3: you're like mess around with each other. But people already

131
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 3: think we're really like antagonizing each other to hurt each other.

132
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 2: We're not.

133
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: We're antagonizing each other because we love each other, right right, Scarry.

134
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And now that was gonna be my question, when

135
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: does picking on turn into bullying? Because we used to

136
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: quote pick on bald freak Ronnie back in school. But

137
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: if you looked at all the stuff we used to do,

138
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: some might say that's bullying.

139
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 2: So waere do you draw the line? And he was

140
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: one of the best friends. Yeah, of course, what kind

141
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 2: of bullying did you do to?

142
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: Well, we got at two point thirty when the bell

143
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: would ring, we took it as the wrestling bell, ding ding,

144
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: and everyone would just come off the top ropes and

145
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: we would like give him like you know, like pile

146
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: drivers into the ground and you know, you.

147
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 3: Know, waits were in your classroom. I don't know, I'm confused.

148
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: Okay, we would be lining up to leave at the

149
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: end of the day, and all of a sudden the

150
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: bell would ring and someone would jump off the table

151
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: like they were jumping off the top ropes, you know,

152
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: like a wrestling thing. And I give them a you know, pile,

153
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 1: drive him into the ground, give him some noogies, things

154
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: like that, and I together.

155
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 2: It was just ye, I don't know, it sounds pretty

156
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: bullyesque to me.

157
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: But we would just we could say that that was

158
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: picking on each other and antagonizing.

159
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,320
