00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,440

Speaker 4: you'll be booking solo trips by Friday.

21
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: Let's dive into this one. Several years ago, my wife

22
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: and I had a destination wedding in another state. Her

23
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: whole family went. Her parents are divorced and the older

24
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: of the two brothers live with his mom, and this

25
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: is the brother in question. Because they didn't have a

26
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: lot of money, they rode with us in the car

27
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: and took a bus home at the end of the

28
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: week since we stayed a second week by ourselves for

29
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: our honeymoon. Her mom talks about that trip all the time.

30
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: She said it was one of the best trips she

31
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: ever took in her whole life.

32
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 3: Wow, it's a pretty high bar.

33
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: Yeah. She talks about how much she would love to

34
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: go back there someday. So this year, for Christmas, we

35
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: decided to surprise her with a suitcase and a letter

36
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: saying basically that we were taking her back there this summer.

37
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: Because my wife's sister is older and married now, she

38
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: and her husband will also be going. A few days ago,

39
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 2: I find out that the brother somehow thinks that he

40
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: was invited and that he's going on vacation with us.

41
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: I mean, fair assumption. If the whole family's going, my

42
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: wife doesn't really care so long as he pays his

43
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: own way. Here's the problem, though, this brother is like

44
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: the most socially inept person I've ever met. He never

45
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: learned to be an adult, and it's just a complete

46
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: embarrassment to be around in public. He has this really

47
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: annoying need for constant attention. By the way, this comes

48
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: from DGL six y seven. And if you want to

49
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: smit your own stories, go to the r sash Okay storytime.

50
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 2: Separate it. I'm Sophia, I'm to go to and we're

51
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: here to get good avice scoofy. But we don't have

52
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: all the answers. We only know what we'd do, So

53
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: let us know what you would do. In the comments,

54
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: and Opie says if people are talking about things that

55
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: he doesn't know about or have any experience with, he'll

56
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 2: just start making stuff up. He makes up insanely unbelievable

57
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: stories about things he's done or seen that anybody would

58
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: know are not true. And when you're talking about things,

59
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 2: I'll try to correct you and tell you that you're wrong,

60
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: and then make up lies to support it. For example,

61
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: someone asked if doctor Pepper is made by Coke or

62
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: PEPSI I explain that Doctor Pepper is its own company

63
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: and not made by either. He chimes in that Doctor

64
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: Pepper's actually made by Coke, but Coke keeps it a secret.

65
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: I told him that's ridiculous. He tells me that his

66
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: friend's dad is the CFO for Coca Cola and told

67
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: them that they make Doctor Pepper. That's such a little kid,

68
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: lie to It's like, my dad works for the CEOLL

69
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: of Doctor Pepper, so I actually know more than you.

70
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the same energy of life. My dad actually

71
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 4: works for the CEO of Nintendo, and I know how

72
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 4: to get to the secret level in Mario.

73
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 2: My dad made Mojang, so I actually I actually can

74
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: destroy your Minecraft world.

75
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: Watch Out, watch Out. I know how to make you, O'Brien.

76
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: It causes a lot of stress in the group. He'll

77
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: start trying to cut me down and tell lies. I'll

78
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: call him on his lies and expose him. Then he

79
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: will get mad and pout, and everyone will get mad

80
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: at me for being mean to him. So anyway, I

81
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: find out that he thinks he's going on this vacation.

82
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: I told my wife in no way, if he's going,

83
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: I'm not going. We have gone on a week long

84
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: trip with him before and it was a nightmare. Everyone

85
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: was mad at me the whole time for arguing with him.

86
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: Have you ever thought just not doing that? Yeah?

87
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: Can we just let him tell lies and not call

88
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: him out for it? If everyone knows their lies. Like

89
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 2: it's like when you're, you know, walking, I don't know,

90
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: you're on a bus station or a bus stop with

91
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: someone and they're kind of weird and they start talking

92
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: to you and saying just the most out of pocket stuff.

93
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: You just not you go, oh, oh yeah, for sure,

94
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: you don't need to engage. I'm not gonna tell the

95
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: crazy person that I disagree with them. I'm just gonna

96
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: let it happen.

97
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're gonna let this dumb guy keep you from

98
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 4: going on vacation because you can't help but try to

99
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 4: correct the dumb guy.

100
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: They think I should just let it go and let

101
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: him lie. Part of me realizes that since I'm the

102
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: only one that has a problem with him, I should

103
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: bow out. But my wife and I are the ones

104
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: that plan this trip. This is our vacation spot that

105
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: we go to every year on our anniversary, and I

106
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: forgot to this trip would be on our anniversary. We

107
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: have gone every year since we're married, and I really

108
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: don't want to have to skip it and edit. I

109
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: know I should just let it go, And if it

110
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: were just braggadocious lying, I could deal with it. But

111
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: he always has to be telling someone they're wrong. He's

112
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: always minimizing your achievements and everything you take pride in.

113
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: It's like he wants to knock you down because he

114
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: has nothing to be proud of for himself. He doesn't

115
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 2: own a car, but decides to tell a master mechanic

116
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: who has been working on cars for twenty three years

117
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: that he knows more than him. I'm sure that mechanic

118
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: gets that all the time. Yeah, I'm sure he knows

119
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: how to deal with that guy.

120
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 4: I think you really just need to work on your

121
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: coping skills, brother, because this guy shouldn't be able to

122
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 4: knock you down any pegs at all.

123
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: Like, if you know someone is a complete idiot and

124
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: a liar, you just let whatever they say roll off

125
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: your back, you know, water on a duck's back. Yeah,

126
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: who cares?

127
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 3: This is the baby technique. So this is this guy's

128
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: literally a silly baby.

129
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: He is a nine year telling you that his dad

130
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: works for a Nintendo. We don't need to listen to him,

131
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: apparently helping your dad change the oil a dozen times

132
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: over the last twenty three years, counts his twenty three

133
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 2: years of experience. He told me that studying roller coasters,

134
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: whatever that means, makes him more qualified to judge structural

135
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: integrity than my engineering degree, and that his friend who

136
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: went to MIT said that he's way smarter than most engineers,

137
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 2: whose engineers rely too much on book learning.

138
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, the classic engineer just kind of eyeball it and

139
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 4: vibe it out.

140
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 3: Yeah type scenario.

141
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: Everyone knows that. And he's riding roller coasters. He's getting

142
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 2: up close and personal. Yeah, you can't get that type

143
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: of education at Harvard. Remember, this guy works at a

144
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: gas station and lives at his mom's basement rent free.

145
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: He argues with everyone, I'm just the only one that

146
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: stands up for myself. My wife and our sister act

147
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: like he's helpless to control himself, like he's a puppy

148
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 2: that pete on the rug. And I kind of feel

149
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: like that's what made him this way, because nobody ever

150
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: stood up to him or told him he's being rude.

151
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 2: They always just ignored it. My sister in law's husband

152
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: can't stand him either, but she has him under her thumb,

153
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: so he knows better than to speak up.

154
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: Dude.

155
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: He has him under her thumbs. Maybe he's just respectful

156
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: and he knows that, you know, it's not.

157
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 3: Gonna do any good.

158
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 4: Like this is the guy who if he was like

159
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 4: shooting hoops at like a basketball court and a five

160
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 4: year old walked up and was like.

161
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: You're trash, you're bad.

162
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, he'd be like, no, kid, I'm telling you to

163
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 4: a one on one and he'd just like dunk on

164
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 4: a five year old and tell.

165
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 3: And then he'd be like, see, everyone, didn't I do

166
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 3: the good thing.

167
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: I know.

168
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 4: This guy's like a thirty year old man, but like

169
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 4: he's he lives in his mom's basement, he works at

170
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 4: the gas station. He's everyone around him is realized he

171
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 4: is helpless. Yeah, so you're hopeless.

172
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: I really think that you should follow in the steps

173
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: of your brother in law or you're you know, his

174
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: sister in law husband.

175
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 3: Just start agreeing with him.

176
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you're right, Yeah.

177
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 3: Actually you are right. That was the test. Congratulations, I

178
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: have a gift for you. It's in your hotel room.

179
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: Go back there, stay there. He and I have kind

180
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: of bonded over our private venting sessions. That's kind of

181
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: what I wanted to ask here. Nobody invited him. He

182
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: just decided to invite himself. I wasn't sure if I

183
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: was excluding him by not letting him force himself in.

184
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: He knew about the trip before we invited his mom.

185
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: I guess he figured since we were paying for her,

186
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: he could stay with her for free. As far as

187
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 2: impossibly being on the spectrum, it wouldn't surprise me. He

188
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: gets bad rage when people expose him. He has a

189
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 2: couple of his training orders for stalking avenment. Oh well,

190
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 2: that's not very good. That's pretty bad.

191
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 3: Uh.

192
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that kind of changes things a little bit. I

193
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: wouldn't want him coming fun epilogue. Halfway through the last trip,

194
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: we found out he had lied about paying a traffic ticket.

195
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: It had come up weeks earlier, and I reminded him

196
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: to pay it because he can't come if he has

197
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: a warrant. He was talking about it at one point

198
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: during the trip and said he went to the police

199
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: station and paid it. I knew you paid tickets at

200
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: the court and not the police station, so I looked

201
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: him up on the court's website. He had an active

202
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: warrant for failure to appear. I told him how messed

203
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 2: up that was. We could have all been in trouble

204
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: if he got arrested. He maintained that he didn't have

205
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: a warrant. I showed it to him on the court's website.

206
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: He got so mad he pulled a whooping out and

207
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: threatened to attack me. We've got an update. I'm sorry

208
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: that changes so much now that we know he's violent

209
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: and also has you know, warrants out for his arrest

210
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 2: or has had that in the past. Why are we

211
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: in any amount of contact with this guy?

212
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a guy that if we still had

213
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 4: leper colonies, we should just send him there.

214
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: Um, yeah, I would. I would be telling my wife

215
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: that I am completely uncomfortable being around this guy because

216
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: he threatened my life.

217
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 4: And yeah, you just have you just tried to open

218
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 4: hand slap? Have you just tried like an open and

219
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 4: he has? Has anyone tried a spking? And have we

220
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 4: tried have we.

221
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 3: Tried any open hand techniques?

222
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 2: I think we give him I don't know. I think

223
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 2: we tell the police hey found him, found him over there,

224
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: and then let them do it, and then he can't

225
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: come on the trip and he can't bother you. It

226
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: does kind of change it a lot. The fact that

227
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 2: everyone's on not his side, but not really taking your

228
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: side when this guy threatened you a little more concerning,

229
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: but we got an update. I had a long text

230
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: chat with my sister in law's husband last night. He's

231
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: the only person I can kind of talk to about

232
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: this since he's married into it as well. He is

233
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: heavily pushing, but just let it go angle. I haven't

234
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: spoken to my wife about this for a couple of days.

235
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 2: Since I gave the ultimatum of I'm not going if

236
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: he's going. I've been doing a lot of hard thinking,

237
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: and I guess she has too. This morning she told

238
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 2: me that she's going to break it to him that

239
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: he can't go, but just can't find the words. I

240
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: know this is really hard for and she's doing it

241
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 2: for me. I feel bad that you she has to

242
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 2: dive on the grenade for me. And first off, I

243
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: want to say thanks to everyone who commented. I got

244
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 2: a ton of helpful suggestions and I tried to reply

245
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: to as many, but I wasn't expecting so many people

246
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: to offer help. So a couple of days after the post,

247
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 2: I talked to my wife and used some of the

248
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: suggested talking points she understood completely. She already knew that

249
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: they had been enabling him. It had been weighing on

250
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: her mind, but she never tried to change it, figuring

251
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: that no one else would. She was afraid that without

252
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,239
Speaker 2: unanimous support, she would lose her relationship with her brother. Regardless,

253
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: she told me she was already planning on telling him

254
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 2: he couldn't go. She just needed to find the right

255
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: words and muster the courage. I was relieved. I offered

256
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 2: to role play the conversation with her, or to help

257
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: her in any way I could. We ran through a

258
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 2: few scenarios and actually had a little bit of fun

259
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 2: imagining ridiculous excuses he might make. You're like, but you

260
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: can't go on the trip with us. He's like, I

261
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: know Delta, I know the CEO of Delta. I could

262
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: cancel all of your flights.

263
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's my best friend. I'm actually in charge of

264
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 3: this guy.

265
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm in charge di man.

266
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: I'm the flight control guy, and you better watch out.

267
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 3: That's what I do at the gas station. Actually, it's

268
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 3: very top secret.

269
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: We eventually decided on a simple, straightforward statement and that

270
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: she would end the conversation afterwards. Another great piece of

271
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: advice I got here was to not engage the inevitable

272
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: arguments that come after telling.

273
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: Him, yeah, uh absolutely, do not engage.

274
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no engagement, don't do it. It's just gotta let

275
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 2: your wife do it. Let her handle it.

276
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 4: You step back, And did you tell anyone about the

277
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 4: incident with the sharp objects?

278
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm wondering, because that's a big no.

279
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 3: No hmm.

280
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: But we got a little bit left. Yesterday when I

281
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 2: got home from work, she told me that she had

282
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: broken the news to him. Brother in law, I'm sorry

283
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: I didn't come to you with this sooner, but it's

284
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 2: uncomfortable and I've had trouble coming up with the words.

285
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: You can't go on this trip. It was a gift

286
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 2: for mom and you were not invited. What she told

287
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: me next left me stun What do you think? Do

288
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 2: you think he accepted or flip out?

289
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: I think he did a double backflip.

290
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 2: He did a double black backflip and said, my father

291
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: will hear about this.

292
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 3: He said, but you didn't expect.

293
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: That, and then he canceled your trip. Brother in law

294
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: said that he understood completely.

295
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 3: It's a tre's track.

296
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 2: Oh no, he said, he probably shouldn't go anyway, given

297
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 2: his financial situation. What a load off, not to mention

298
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: that standing up to him actually yielded a positive result.

299
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: Hopefully this is an eye opener for the rest of

300
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: my family, as I know it was with my wife.

301
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 2: With any luck, this will be the start of positive

302
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 2: change for all of our lives. Wow, and we've got

303
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: an edit that was a clone of your brother in law. Yeah,

304
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 2: that wasn't really your brother, it was the prestige. A

305
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: lot of people are commenting that this may not really

306
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: be over his normal mo When he doesn't get his way,

307
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 2: it's just pretend like he didn't hear the no. Since

308
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 2: he actually acknowledged it, we're kind of uncharted waters here.

309
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: He normally gets by on playing dumb and pretending he

310
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: didn't know better. I'm not sure the family will be

311
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 2: as likely to enable him if he is well informed

312
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 2: and chooses to go against us anyway. Even if they

313
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: still want him to go, they would not go against

314
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: my wife. Her decision carries a lot more weight in

315
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: the group than mine does. And that's the end of

316
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: that story. Seems like that all worked out for now.

317
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: I don't trust him.

318
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: I'd be afraid. Yeah, what are you planning? You? What

319
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 3: are you planning?

320
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: The guy that stocks and also pesters people and has

321
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: a worn out for his rest or did don't really

322
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: trust that guy, but I do appreciate that your wife

323
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: is standing up for you. Guys.

324
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 3: Now, your wife's a real stand up guy. H And

325
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 3: that's the end of this story. Let's head to the

326
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 3: next one.

327
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: My boyfriend pete in my sink and it was my

328
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: mother who caught him.

329
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: Wo.

330
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: So I female twenty two. I am a bit of

331
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: a late bloomer. I started dating my boyfriend Mail twenty six,

332
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: around six months ago. This is my first relationship, so

333
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: I I don't know if this is a normal thing

334
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: that guys do. By the way, this comes from agitated accountants.

335
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: And if you want to see your own stories, you

336
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: know where to go. My name's Riley, I'm Savannah, and

337
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: we're here to be goofy talking about this dude who

338
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: peas and sinks, and you're here to comment your experiences

339
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: of peeing and sinks. I lived with my mom. She

340
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: went away for a week on a business trip, and

341
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: I invited my boyfriend over to stay with me since

342
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: I don't like being alone because our housekeeper once joined

343
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: a few things from the fridge. My boyfriend and I

344
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: both have remote jobs. We were set up in my

345
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: bedroom and my boyfriend excused himself to go to the restroom.

346
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: I didn't think much of it when he came back

347
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: a few minutes later, whatever normal behavior. My mom sent

348
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: me footage of him peeing in the kitchen sink a

349
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: few hours ago. I'm stunned. There were plates and cups

350
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: in the sink too. He didn't even properly scrub it,

351
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: just rinse. I'm honestly disgusted and don't know what to do.

352
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: This is just normal. I have never been around men

353
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: much of my life. My dad isn't in the picture.

354
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 3: So far.

355
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: A relationship is really good. He treats me well, is

356
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: loving and caring, and remembers small details about me. This

357
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: is the type of relationship I dreamt about as a kid,

358
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: but this just shattered that dream. I don't know if

359
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: I can get past this. I haven't confronted him yet.

360
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: I guess I just wanted a second opinion or third.

361
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: My mom says it's nasty, but she's letting me decide

362
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: what to do. So am I overreacting?

363
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: No? As a slavic woman. I have to say, no.

364
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: What the hell is wrong with this guy? This is

365
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: not norm behavior. OP, It's okay, so edit. I will

366
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: confront him today. I just want to hear why he

367
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: did it. I know it wasn't an emergency because the

368
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: bathroom was open. Someone suggested it's sleep walking. It was

369
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: in the middle of the day, we were both away.

370
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll see what he says. I'm more

371
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: gross Sedyle after realizing this isn't normal, I mean, I'm

372
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: glad you checked with us. We got an update. I

373
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: type one if they're breaking up, type two if they're

374
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: staying together. I'm one.

375
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 2: You guys, I'm I'm I don't know if this is

376
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: break up word, I don't know. I'd be like, just

377
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 2: don't like do it again, and also go buy me

378
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 2: new dishes updates.

379
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: One day later, it wasn't a hard decision. After reading

380
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: all the comments. Peeing in a sink is disgusting behavior

381
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: and is extremely disrespectful, not just to me, but my

382
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: mom as well. Everyone who said I'm overreacting and that

383
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: it's normal behavior, you were weird. I decided to confront

384
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: him to see what he would say about it anyway,

385
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: I made us some lunch and we went out to

386
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: eat on the balcony. I had no idea how to

387
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,239
Speaker 1: bring this up. I'm not usually confrontational or blunt, so

388
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: this is all new territory. I must have been acting

389
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: strange because he asked me what was wrong, and that

390
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: was a good as an opening as I'll ever get.

391
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: I just flat out asked him if he ped in

392
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: the sink. People mentioned he might get upset and lash out.

393
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: I was fully preparing myself for that, ready to dip

394
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: in the first sign of violence or something else. I

395
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: did not expect him to fully break down, crying, full

396
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: body sobs, curled in on himself, pulling his hair. I

397
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: was speechless. I have never seen him like this before.

398
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: He kept repeating, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He

399
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: was on the verge of like hyperventilating or something. I

400
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: wasn't about to comfort him until I got a proper explanation.

401
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: I asked him why he did it. He calmed down

402
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: after a while and started explaining, Guys, I don't even

403
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: know how to type out what he said. He was stunned.

404
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: Apparently there's a whole community out there dedicated to getting

405
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: in touch with your more primal, animalistic side. It's not

406
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: like those toxic, misogynistic alpha malekurus, though well, I suppose

407
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: it still is kind of toxic. Running through the forest barefoot,

408
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: howling at the moon. That's fine, that's whatever.

409
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 2: Wait does he like do that?

410
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 5: Is that?

411
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: What she's saying? Is he wearol? I think he's a wearfluff.

412
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. I didn't want you to find out

413
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: this way.

414
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: He asked one of these guys how to attract my

415
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: primal side more. This guy gave him a list of

416
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: things so insane. I don't know how he thought that

417
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: this was okay. He has never discussed any of this

418
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: with me before. I didn't even know he was a

419
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: part of it. This guy recommended that after a long

420
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: day of working, exercising, and sweating, he rubbed his body

421
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: odor in some of my thanks discounted as not only

422
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: marking his territory, but me constantly inhaling his sense will

423
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: strengthen our fated bond and ping on the plates and cultry. Apparently,

424
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: his pheromones will subconsciously make me want him more. It

425
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: would be making me feral and having me jump on

426
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: him every second of the day. Not only is this

427
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: extremely gross, but it's also crossing my boundaries that I didn't.

428
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 2: Think this would be like a boundary you would have

429
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 2: to like like say like be like, oh, by the way,

430
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: one of my boundaries is I don't want you to

431
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 2: pee on any of my items. My mom saw that,

432
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: like that's what she should started with. Like, I don't

433
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 2: even think he knows that the mom saw it. I

434
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: think she's he just knows that, like she knows about it.

435
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: So he's trying to make you more attracted to you.

436
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: So it's coming from a place of love, I guess.

437
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 3: But like if I told.

438
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 5: This, see, the thing is this kind of crap would

439
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 5: freaking happen in the freaking weirdos and I'd be like,

440
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 5: he's just explorative.

441
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 2: I wouldn't make anything to be like he's normal guys.

442
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: Poy, Wait, it's actually worse. No, I suppose I'm a

443
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: bit of a prude because I haven't slept with him yet,

444
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: nothing against him. I just was exposed to really inappropriate

445
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: things as a kid, and I'm scared of intimacy. He

446
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: told me he's okay with that. He'd wait as long

447
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: as I need to be comfortable. Oh dude. See I

448
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: thought this was sweet. Then it just got like really crazy.

449
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 2: See when I was.

450
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 5: Long distance, I would I asked my boyfriend to get

451
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 5: me his clone because I love Men's clone, and I

452
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 5: would spray it on my pillow before I would go

453
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 5: to sleep because it would be like nice to like

454
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 5: breathe in, but like it didn't go into like be

455
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 5: on me.

456
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: This is horrible. This guy's even in jail. This guy

457
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: is mentally ill. There are so many other things I

458
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: can't even mention because it is surely get this post removed.

459
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, this guy was

460
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 1: deliberately peeing on my plates to seduce me. I told

461
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: him to get the f out. I told him he

462
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: should be ashamed of himself. I told him we are

463
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: over and to never contact me again. He started crying

464
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: again and try to apologize. I gave him ten minutes

465
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: to collect all his things before I call my neighbor,

466
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: a police officer. He gathered his things, got in his car,

467
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: and left. There was more things on that list. She

468
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: couldn't even explain. Yeah, I'm thinking other body fluids in

469
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: other places, because if he's going this crazy with this

470
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: body fluid, think about the other things.

471
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 2: Good, Oh you have to like, yeah deep clean your house.

472
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: Oh no, I called my mom and cried for like

473
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: a solid hour. She's coming home from her trip early

474
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: and taking me to Bildebert childish. I know, I don't care.

475
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: It's comforting, but guys, I thought this would be the

476
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: end here. I thought this nightmare was over. I got

477
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: a phone call from his mom a few minutes ago.

478
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 2: Oh no, what are they gonna say? They're gonna be

479
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 2: like sorry, he's been off his meds.

480
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: He went to his parents' house in tears, telling them

481
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: I broke his heart and called him a disgusting pig.

482
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: He was there acting like he's some victim. Dude, that

483
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: is not the move. She's a boat.

484
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 3: She has she has fucking video.

485
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: Finally, she has video footage doing.

486
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: Okay, so uh Kimberly fun says, I'm sorry my boyfriend

487
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: Pete on your dishes, please buy me one hundred and seventy.

488
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 2: Four dollars bear honestly true.

489
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: She luckily just wanted to hear my side of the story.

490
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: He didn't even tell his mom why I dumped him.

491
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: Safe to say she was equally as grossed out and disappointed.

492
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: She apologized and even offered to replace our plates. I

493
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: just told her that I want to keep them out

494
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: of my life. Please keep your son away from me.

495
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: I wish this wasn't true. I know how crazy insane

496
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: it sounds. I have cried myself red in the face.

497
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: I want to wake up from this nightmare. I wish

498
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: this wasn't my effing life. But Alas, who knows. Maybe

499
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 1: one day he'll find a girl who's into that. But

500
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: that girl is not me. That was so gross. I'm

501
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: gonna throw out everything that was in the sync, wash

502
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: all my stuff three times, take a long shower, book myself,

503
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: a therapy session, and just I'm going to bed. Holy

504
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: if you see KK And that's the end of the story.

505
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna read the next one.

506
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 5: My boyfriend said he had no plus one for a wedding,

507
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 5: but the groom told me otherwise.

508
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 1: Who else is he gonna bring?

509
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 5: For some basic background information, my boyfriend Jason twenty nine

517
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 5: to tell you some cool things, but we don't know

518
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 5: all the answers. We're only gonna tell you what we know,

519
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 5: and that is a selective bunch of things. So tell

00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 5: us what you know, because we know you got all

Speaker 5: the spots and your big brain. Let us know what

522
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 5: you know in the comments. As Opie says, Jason works

523
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 5: at a fairly large company. Within the company, he works

524
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 5: on a small ish team about ten people. On his

525
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 5: team is a guy named Matt thirty ishmail, who he

526
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 5: is work friends with. They don't hang out that much

527
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 5: outside of work, but will occasionally get dinner and drinks together.

528
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 2: A few weeks ago, he attended Matt's wedding. Jason didn't

529
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 2: invite me, but I.

530
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 5: Just assumed he did not get a plus one because

531
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 5: he and Matt aren't super close. I've met Matt five

532
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 5: times before, so I didn't think anything of it. As

533
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 5: forward to Wednesday, after work, I ran into Matt at

534
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 5: a local coffee shop. I said hello and congratulated him

535
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 5: on his marriage. He thanked me and said something along

536
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 5: the line, so if it's a shame you couldn't make

537
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 5: it to the wedding. I was pretty confused, but just

538
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 5: went along with it and said that I was sorry

539
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 5: I missed.

540
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 2: It and was sure it was fun.

541
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 5: When I got home, I asked Jason why he didn't

542
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 5: invite me to the wedding. I tried to be as

543
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 5: calm and non accusatory as possible. He replied that he

544
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 5: didn't get a plus one.

545
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 2: So he couldn't invite me.

546
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 5: Then I told him what Matt said, and after some

547
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 5: back and forth, Jason confessed that he did get.

548
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 2: A plus one.

549
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 5: I asked why he didn't invite me, and he wouldn't

550
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 5: tell me. He kept asking, or I kept asking, and

551
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 5: he kept refusing. It was extremely frustrating. Don't get me wrong,

552
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 5: I don't care that I missed the wedding. That's not

553
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 5: the problem. He lied to me and is now refusing

554
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 5: to tell me why. The past two nights I slept

555
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 5: in our guest slash hobby room. The first place my

556
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 5: mind went was in fidelity, but he was at a

557
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 5: colleague's wedding. I've met all of his coworkers at work events,

558
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 5: So would he really cheat on me in front of

559
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 5: people we both know and that he has to work with.

560
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 5: He didn't stay out late either, got home at ten pm,

561
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 5: so it's not like he shacked up with someone after

562
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 5: the wedding. I seriously cannot come up with any reason

563
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 5: he lied, and he won't tell me. It's driving me crazy.

564
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 5: I am stumped on what to do. I don't want

565
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 5: to dump him over something this small, but I legitimately

566
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 5: don't know what to do to get him to tell me.

567
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 5: I feel like my trust is broken and over something

568
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 5: so stupid.

569
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 2: And there's an update three months late.

570
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: Oh dude, that means she stayed together with him. M

571
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: oh okay, uh wait wait wait Purpletrader, I didn't read

572
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: you don't know. This is just for Riley. This amount

573
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: is also my birthday. Oh your birthday's February twenty first. Yes,

574
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: I have that on my phone.

575
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 2: By the way, that's crazy, that's crazy.

576
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: Let me go back.

577
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Actually I would like to put all

578
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: my sister wives in my phone.

579
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: How fun you quit?

580
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 2: Dan, sisters? You know what to do?

581
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 5: Update three months later, So it's been one month since

582
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 5: the original conflict with Jason, and I finally just yesterday

583
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 5: got an answer about what was going on. After our

584
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 5: initial argument, I kept living with Jason for another month.

585
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 5: It was honestly awful. There was always this weird tension

586
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 5: between us, and it felt like we were roommates who

587
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 5: didn't even really.

588
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 2: Like each other.

589
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 5: We went from a happy, loving couple to people who

590
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 5: cohabitated awkwardly together so quickly, and he was willing to

591
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 5: accept this just to keep some secret. It hurts so badly.

592
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 5: After that awful month, I told him that if he

593
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 5: didn't tell me his reason behind line about the plus one,

594
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 5: then I was going to break up with him and

595
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 5: move out. He begged me not to end it. I

596
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,719
Speaker 5: begged him to tell me. Neither of us would give up,

597
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 5: So I ended it and moved out back into my parents' house.

598
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I would have two.

599
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 5: This guy's a sneak, as my mom would say, he's

600
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 5: a snake in the grass, and my mom is in

601
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 5: the dang.

602
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, good on you for doing that. It's just, yeah,

603
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: that's not what love is.

604
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 5: Partners do you don't keep secrets like that Over something

605
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 5: like very I feel like would like it's not a

606
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 5: big deal, Like why this is it?

607
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: You've now made it a.

608
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 5: Big deal, But it wasn't a big deal until you

609
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 5: now have made it. Since then, I have been dealing

610
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 5: with heartbreak and have been in a really bad place mentally.

611
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 5: I am still currently living with my parents, even though

612
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 5: I said I would find my own place at the

613
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 5: start of the year. Around a week ago, I received

614
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 5: a text from my good friend telling me she thinks

615
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 5: she knows why he lied. She sent me a picture

616
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 5: of Jason's Instagram. It was a picture of him holding

617
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 5: a woman romantically. Not only that, but I recognized the

618
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 5: woman as one of Jason's coworkers. After this, I called

619
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 5: my friend who sent the picture and cried and cried

620
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 5: and cried. I've never felt more emotionally exhausted. Yesterday I

621
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 5: did something a little dumb. I texted Jason and asked

622
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 5: him if he cheated, and he decided to be honest

623
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 5: this time.

624
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I don't think even you know if

625
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: I believe him. I feel like you got everything you

626
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: needed to know.

627
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 5: He told me that he hadn't physically cheated, but he

628
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 5: and this woman had basically been having an emotional affair

629
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 5: for months prior. I guess he didn't invite me to

630
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 5: the wedding because he didn't want his real girlfriend and

631
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 5: his work girlfriend to meet.

632
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: Wow, that's why you get your actual girlfriend to work

633
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: with you so they can be both. That's what I did.

634
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 5: I finally got my answer, but I wish I hadn't.

635
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 5: He was willing to ruin our relationship over some work relationship.

636
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 5: I don't even care that I left him, considering he

637
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 5: had a backup girlfriend to turn to. You guys were right,

638
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 5: but I wish you weren't. There are some relevant comments.

639
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: Dude, Petty Potatoes called that earlier. Yeah, he was planning

640
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: on breaking up with you.

641
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 2: That's true. That was like literally we said the title

642
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 2: immediately Potatoes was on it.

643
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: You know what, like makes me want to throw open

644
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: my mouth? What is that? At Matt's wedding they're like, oh,

645
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: this is so romantic. We met Matt at work and

646
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: like this just just shows us what we could be.

647
00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: But who knows he's a liar anyway. Sorry, Sorry, sorry,

648
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: my trauma's coming. Trauma speaking.

649
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: Here's my hot take. If you are having an emotional

650
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: affair with someone and you also contemplate having to do

651
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: the spicy dance with them. That is physical. That is

652
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: physically cheating. That's my hot take.

653
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 5: There are some relevant comments deleted. Says just so you know,

654
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 5: he physically cheated too. He's still lying because that's who

655
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 5: he is. This sucks, but you'll be okay soon and

656
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 5: much better off without this knucklehead in your life.

657
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 2: Op response. He probably did. At this point.

658
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 5: It doesn't even change much though. I know that it's

659
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 5: good in the long run that he's out of my life.

660
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 5: But it feels like I wasted.

661
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 2: Four years on him. Oh yeah, it was four years.

662
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: I forgot that too, and I think they lived together.

663
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did live together. I know that. I know

664
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 2: I need to focus on myself and not my past relationship.

665
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 2: Although it's hard.

666
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: Due Okay, give yourself a year and a half. This

667
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: is my rule when it comes to like getting over relationships.

668
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: You can't completely get over them, but give yourself a

669
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: year and a half if it's over three years, if

670
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: it's before, or three years, every what is it every

671
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: month that you're together, Divide that in half, and like,

672
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: if you're together for six months, give yourself three months

673
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: if that makes sense.

674
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 3: And that's the end.

675
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: Of the story. We're gonna read the next one.

676
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 6: Hey, it's Keon your host with the cakes.

677
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 2: Here.

678
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 3: We're going to get back to the stories. But here's

679
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 3: three minutes of ads from our sponsors.

680
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: My boyfriend said, my living situation is inappropriate because I'm

681
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: living with another man.

682
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: The only exception is Santa Claus.

683
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: I, twenty two female live with my friend twenty two male.

684
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,959
Speaker 1: Let's call him Joel, which is relevant. We met at

685
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: a university and became best friends, then decided to live together.

686
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: It works really well. We'll split Bill's cook watch TV,

687
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: and share chores and clothes. Sometimes it's always been easy

688
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: and drama free.

689
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 3: By the way, this.

690
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: Comes from Consprehensive Day sixty five, and you know where

691
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: to submit your favorite stories if you want to. I'm Ryan,

692
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: I'm straight.

693
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: I'm Savannah, I don't know, and we're here.

694
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: To give good advice. Gooofully, and you're here to explain

695
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: your thoughts and also tell us what you're saying is

696
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: because it's relevant. After UNI, I moved home briefly, but

697
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: it felt wrong. I moved back in with Goal, who

698
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: is back around late November since he's gotten a boyfriend.

699
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: I get along with both of them and really like

700
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: my living situation. At New Year's I decided to start

701
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: dating again. I match with the guy let's call him

702
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: Max twenty three now, who lives really close. We talked

703
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: for a few weeks and went on it day. It

704
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: went really well. Here is where I might be the

705
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: A hole. I usually mentioned my living situation on the

706
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: first day because it caused issues with my ex, but

707
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: I forgot this time. I told him on the second

708
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: day and apologized. He seemed completely fine with it. We've

709
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: been together for two months. I've been to his place

710
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: low of times, but he hasn't been to mine. I've

711
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: invited him over recently, and that's when everything took a turn.

712
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: He asked if Joel would be there. I said no.

713
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: He then sent a long message saying he doesn't like

714
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: that I live with another man. He went into detail

715
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: about how weird that is that we share things like laundry,

716
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: a shower, and a couch, making it sound inappropriate. I

717
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 1: pointed out that he lives with his parents, so technically

718
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: shares those same things too, which made him angrier. He

719
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: then said me living with a man means I'm being

720
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,439
Speaker 1: taken advantage of, and that he wants to move out.

721
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: He suggested we should move in together after two months,

722
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 1: So at this point I was just confused. His messages

723
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: kept getting worse, and he spoke about Joel in a

724
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: really disgusting way, even though he's never met him. I

725
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: told him I'm not moving in with someone after two months.

726
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: He said if I was serious about him, I would

727
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: want to, and that no normal girlfriend would live with

728
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: another man over her boyfriend. That annoyed me because no

729
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: one is choosing anyone. I already had this living situation

730
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: before him. Now he's barely speaking to me and acting

731
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: like I've done something wrong. I feel a bit guilty

732
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: for not mentioning it on the first date, but his

733
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: reaction feels extreme. Am I the a hole for not

734
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: telling him sooner and for refusing to move in with

735
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: him to fix the situation? We have some relevant comments?

736
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 1: What do you think?

737
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 2: OPI? And this was before I got Joel, but opieing

738
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 2: lived together, Joel got a boyfriend. Opie told the boyfriend

739
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 2: about Joel and he was cool with it. Now the boyfriend,

740
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 2: Max is not happy about the living situation. But like,

741
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 2: I don't think it would matter when you told him,

742
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 2: Whether you told him on the first date or the

743
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 2: second date, or the third whatever.

744
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 5: I don't think that would have mattered. I think what

745
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 5: matters is his reaction to being like, oh, yeah, like

746
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 5: that's fine, and then later on being like, actually, no,

747
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 5: I don't like that. But this guy has a boyfriend.

748
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 2: Is they have.

749
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 5: Lived together for you know, a little while now, Like,

750
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 5: if you have a problem with it, that's.

751
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: On you, dude, legal eagle. If he is already being

752
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: jealous and controlling, it's only gonna get worse from here.

753
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 2: Exactly.

754
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you're and then you're like, so I'll give

755
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 5: you an alternative. You move in with me. How about

756
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 5: I don't know you and I'm not comfortable with it.

757
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: So we got some relevant comments and op replies to them.

758
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: Caspin forty one thirty six says, not the a hole girl.

759
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: He's waving so many red flags he could fly across

760
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: the ocean with them. It's only been two months and

761
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: he's trying to pressure you into moving in together so

762
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: he can get out of his parents house. And no

763
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: doubt you'd be his new mother. I'm a woman. When

764
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: I had roommates, it was always with guys. Nothing inappropriate

765
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: about it. Loo nobody says. See, this is the first

766
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: time we've ever had any kind of disagreement. Is all

767
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: over text, so I wasn't a hundred sure about the

768
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: tone or anything. But to be fair, it's a good

769
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: point about the parents' house things. He's brought it up

770
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: a lot since the beginning. Thank you for making me

771
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: feel less insane? Is coffee? Alien says out of curiosity.

772
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 1: Does Joel's boyfriend feel like the living situation is inappropriate,

773
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: since you know, living with a woman and all. I'm

774
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: betting not not the a hole, but you will be

775
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: if you stay with this guy. Hope, He says. Joel's

776
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 1: boyfriend is genuinely such a nice guy and has made

777
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: all the effort to get to know me. He's never

778
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: once said anything of that nature. And this is a

779
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: great point actually thinking about it now, it seems like

780
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: Max hasn't had the intent to do any of that

781
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: from the get go. And we have an update and

782
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: it says before it escalated.

783
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 2: Oh god, yeah, so they're breaking up. Yes on dred percent,

784
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 2: she's out, which she should be because don't try to

785
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 2: come into my life and try to control what I'm

786
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 2: doing when I don't even know you it's been two

787
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: months get away from me.

788
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: We have an updates. Forward escalated when I first invited

789
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: my boyfriend over. I had sent him my address and

790
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: postcode in our messages because I just assumed he agreed

791
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: and came around at some point. That's how he had it,

792
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: since he really wasn't speaking to me. After the argument,

793
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: I was taking a bit of time to think and

794
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: planning to have a proper conversation and ending things. Then

795
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: around two and am, someone knocked on the door. I

796
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: assumed it was Joel coming home back from his boyfriend's

797
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: early so I opened it without thinking I know, terrible idea.

798
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: It was Max. I was completely caught off guard. He

799
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: acted like it was normal and asked to come in,

800
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: but I said no because I was uncomfortable and stayed

801
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: in the doorway. He started explaining things, everything from his

802
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: side of things. He said he was fine with my

803
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: living situation initially, but recently a friend mentioned it to

804
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: him that it's a red flag and it got in

805
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: his head. After that, he apparently found Joel's Instagram through

806
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: my profile and decided he doesn't seem gay because he

807
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: doesn't post his boyfriend, which apparently makes the whole thing suspicious.

808
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: I told him that it was ridiculous to assume, and

809
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: that he has no question. He has no right questioning

810
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: Joel's spicy proactivities. I told him it's not up for

811
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: debate just because he doesn't post his entire relationship online.

812
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: I also made it clear that Joel is my friend.

813
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: He has never made me uncomfortable in any way over

814
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: the two plus years we lived together. Also, if he

815
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: makes you feel comfortable, it doesn't It does not matter

816
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: if he's good or.

817
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:50,760
Speaker 3: Straight or whatever.

818
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good to have, you know, opposite sex, strong,

819
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: platonic friends. Yeah, that makes you stronger as a person. Apparently,

820
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,240
Speaker 1: he's been looking at apartments for a few weeks because

821
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: he feels like a burden living with his parents. He said,

822
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: in his head, it just made sense for us to

823
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: move in together, fix my situation and be more serious.

824
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 2: Moving in is not gonna fix those problems.

825
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 5: Sorry, moving in we need to be more serious, always

826
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 5: serious from a distance. And I seriously don't like you,

827
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 5: and I seriously don't care.

828
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: He then told me he loves me. Please leave this man.

829
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: He also said he showed up because I wasn't replying

830
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: much and it was driving him crazy. He needed a

831
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: talk in person. At that point, I told him I

832
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: needed time to think and that showing up at two

833
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: am was not okay. He kept trying to continue the conversation,

834
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: but I ended it, shut the door, and locked it.

835
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: I sent him a paragraph ending things because I don't

836
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: think we're compatible and.

837
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 3: This whole situation upsets me.

838
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: He's messaged since, but I haven't replied, will likely block him.

839
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: Joel came home later and was very supportive. So yeah,

840
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: thank you for all the support. I'm feeling relieved that

841
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: this is over now.

842
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 2: To be honest, you did it, You did it. Whooa hoah.

843
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: And that's the end of the story. We're gonna read

844
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: the next one.

845
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 5: My boyfriend takes all my groceries and runs up my bills,

846
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 5: but refuses.

847
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 2: To move in.

848
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 6: Hey, those aren't yours.

849
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 5: By the way, me, nineteen year old female and my boyfriend, nineteen.

850
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 2: Year old male, have been together for almost two years

851
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 2: one year, ten months. For context, I moved into my

852
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 2: one bedroom apartment about six months ago. I live alone.

853
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 2: I pay all my bills alone and buy my own groceries.

854
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 2: By the way, this comes from.

858
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 2: I'm Savannah, I'm Keon, and we are here to give

859
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 2: some good advice and a goofy manna, because that's all

860
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 2: we know how to. We can't be serious about anything.

861
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 5: Come on, seriously, no oh, but we would love to

862
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 5: know what you would do that in the commons as op,

863
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 5: he says, my boyfriend comes over every single day, and

864
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,879
Speaker 5: I'm not just saying that. He is literally there every day.

865
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 5: I get home from work and by the time I'm

866
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 5: out of the shower, he is at the apartment. I

867
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 5: didn't really mind at first, because I was excited he

868
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 5: was seeing me every day, because before that he told

869
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 5: me he didn't want to spend a lot of time

870
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 5: with me, that it was overwhelming to him. So I

871
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 5: was excited and happy he wanted to.

872
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: Be with me.

873
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 5: My love language is quality time. Well fast forward, I've

874
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 5: noticed an increase in my bills. Just last month, my

875
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 5: utility bill increased by seventy dollars. Whether this was him

876
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 5: or not, I'm not totally sure, but he's been there

877
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 5: even when I'm not there. He's taken showers, watch TV.

878
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 5: I'm not a huge TV person, and he'll leave the

879
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 5: lights on. Not to mention, he uses the restroom all

880
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 5: the time, sometimes three times.

881
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 2: So there's that.

882
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 5: And then I'm running out of my groceries faster than

883
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 5: i'd like. I buy groceries just enough for me every

884
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 5: two weeks my pay schedule. I buy a pack of

885
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 5: twelve and that should last me the entire month. As

886
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 5: I don't drink a lot of soda. But what do

887
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 5: you know, I'm running out in two weeks.

888
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 3: Why?

889
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 2: Well? An example of him drinking all of my SODA's

890
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 2: would be when we were watching TV. He ordered us

891
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 2: a pizza and while we were eating, he offered to

892
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 2: grab me a drink, and I just told him to

893
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 2: grab me a water, and he grabbed himself a soda,

894
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 2: which I didn't mind since, like I said, I don't

895
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 2: drink them often. He drinks the first soda, then gets

896
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 2: up to grab a second. He comes back to the

897
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 2: table and drinks a second. I was visibly annoyed, but

898
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 2: didn't say anything. He then gets up again and walked

899
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 2: to the fridge to grab a third. A third.

900
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, buddy, you're buying, You're buying me a new

901
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,320
Speaker 6: twelve rack of some soda. Oh that's crazy.

902
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 5: I quickly interrupted him and said, nope, no, no, no.

903
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 5: If you are very thirsty, you can have a water,

904
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 5: and you are not drinking all the sodas I just bought,

905
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 5: to which he responds, what are you my mom? And

906
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 5: I respond no, but i'm your girlfriend and you didn't

907
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 5: buy those I did. When I want a soda, When

908
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 5: I want a soda, I want to be able to

909
00:43:59,239 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 5: drink one.

910
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 2: And he came to sit down. He was mad.

911
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 5: I know this because he does the thing where he

912
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 5: clinches his jaw and he didn't speak to me for

913
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 5: a while. I have the realization that he really is

914
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 5: just living here without sleeping here. He's eating and drinking

915
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 5: all of my food and using my utilities. So I

916
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 5: thought carefully of what I wanted to say, and I

917
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 5: got the right wording together. When he came over the

918
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 5: next day, I brought up the conversation of why don't

919
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 5: you move in with me? And he just said, no,

920
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 5: I don't want to.

921
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, cool, All right, Well that's demoralizing. I mean,

922
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 6: you can do that, but you're here every day, you're

923
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 6: eating all my food, I think a follow up and

924
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,439
Speaker 6: be like, all right, since you're here twenty four to seven,

925
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 6: how about you start paying it just a little bit

926
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 6: of some of the utilities and for the groceries.

927
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 5: And I was like, what why you basically live here

928
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 5: without sleeping here, and you are here every day and

929
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 5: using all of my things. His reasoning started with I

930
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 5: want to finish school, which I would completely understand if

931
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 5: he was in school.

932
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: He's not.

933
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 5: He missed the deadline to sign up for classes, so

934
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 5: he's not enrolled right now, which I reminded him of.

935
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 5: His next reason was I don't.

936
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 2: Want to live in an apartment. I want to live

937
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:17,760
Speaker 2: in a house.

938
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 5: So I then said, we are nineteen, we aren't established

939
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 5: and don't have money put back for a house.

940
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 2: You have to be realistic. We can eventually get a house,

941
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 2: but an apartment is a part of that.

942
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 6: Steph Why are you talking to him like he's like

943
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 6: five years He's actually like a five year old. But

944
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 6: you're like, oh, okay, honey, so we can't do that

945
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 6: right now. Understand, Yes, I know you want a house,

946
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 6: but baby steps.

947
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 2: And then he responded with I just don't want to

948
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 2: move out. I like, how many no? Responsibilities.

949
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 3: Ah ah, there it is dad him.

950
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 2: He got him on number.

951
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 6: Three and then you got really disgusted with that, and

952
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 6: you said, I'm gonna give you another chance to really

953
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 6: really man up here and figure it out, but I

954
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 6: will break up with you. That's my responsibility right now.

955
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 5: This was finally the real answer. I told him, since

956
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 5: he didn't want to move out and help me, then

957
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 5: he can't come over every day and we'll have to

958
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 5: hang out at his house more often. It's been a

959
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 5: week since this conversation and he's still coming over every day,

960
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,760
Speaker 5: and I don't know what to do. I love his company,

961
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 5: but I can't afford it. I still can't really wrap

962
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 5: my head around his answer, and I'm trying to respect it.

963
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 5: Part of me wonders if it was someone else, would

964
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 5: he want to live with them, would he support them?

965
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 5: Or does he just not see a future with me.

966
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 5: I'm not sure what to do. Any advice is appreciated,

967
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 5: and there isn't at it.

968
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 2: Now. You have to break up.

969
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 6: With the babe, baby girl. He mooching off.

970
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 2: You break up with this baby wake in.

971
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 6: He said, my only responsibility is to eat all your food,

972
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 6: come over, use everything you have, and then when it's nighttime,

973
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 6: I go to my bed and say I'll do it

974
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 6: again tomorrow.

975
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 5: It's not gonna work. You are trying like he wants

976
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 5: a mom. It seems like he wants my I'm not

977
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 5: a girlfriend. You don't want to be that, trust me.

978
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 2: Edit.

979
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 5: Everyone is asking about the key. When I made a

980
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 5: copy of my key, he was with me and suggested

981
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 5: he should have one for emergencies, so I made him

982
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 5: a copy too. He also has no responsibilities. His mom

983
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 5: pays for his car and gas and clothes. I'm taking

984
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 5: everyone's comments into consideration and it's opening my eyes a lot.

985
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 5: I'm going to try to have the conversation again tonight

986
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 5: and I'll update when we talk.

987
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 2: Update.

988
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if I update here or what to do.

989
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 5: Really we talked. This also just happened, so I'm mentally drained,

990
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 5: so I'm sorry if this update isn't the best.

991
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 2: I took his key.

992
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 5: Like many of you suggested, I told him until he

993
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 5: learns to call me and ask if he can come over,

994
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 5: then he cannot have the key. I also added with

995
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 5: that the key is only to be used for emergencies,

996
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 5: and I don't feel like he should have it.

997
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: Good for you.

998
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 2: Oh pie, these boundaries are incredible.

999
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 6: Wow, there's literally at least one adult in this situation

1000
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 6: here crazy this.

1001
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're pretty good at this. Sopebe I like this.

1002
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 5: Or He then agreed to this. Also went on to

1003
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 5: explain that it feels like we are in two different mindsets,

1004
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 5: me having an apartment, steady income and responsibilities and him

1005
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 5: living at home, no bills, et cetera. He then started

1006
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 5: to put the fault on me, saying it was too

1007
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 5: expensive and I shouldn't have moved out. But I didn't

1008
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 5: have a choice to move out. It was forced upon me.

1009
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 5: I think you're.

1010
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 2: Doing the right thing, and honestly, I see breakup in

1011
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 2: your future.

1012
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 6: Yes, it's also again, you're nineteen, you're young. You're like,

1013
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 6: you're in a different spot that he than he is.

1014
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 6: It's very true you don't need him in your life

1015
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 6: right now. Maybe he can adult and grow up in

1016
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,919
Speaker 6: the future, but not right now, and you shouldn't wait

1017
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 6: for that.

1018
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just dumb. We argued back and forth about

1019
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 5: that for a while. He suggested he suggested I budget

1020
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 5: my money, but I literally don't spend anything other than

1021
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 5: what I need. I have an interview for a second

1022
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 5: job tomorrow so I can start being able to afford

1023
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 5: the things I want.

1024
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 6: Ah, the person who literally has no job paying zero

1025
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 6: bills is telling you how to handle your money.

1026
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 5: That's besides the point. It was dumb and felt like

1027
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 5: deflection on his end. We fought back and forth some more,

1028
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 5: and then it eventually ended with me saying he is

1029
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 5: a child who isn't wanting to grow up right now,

1030
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 5: and I don't want that around me forever. I don't

1031
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 5: know if we're broken up or what is really happening.

1032
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 5: I assume i'll know more about that tomorrow. Thank you

1033
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 5: everyone for your support and kind words. It really means

1034
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 5: a lot and has helped me, or has helped me

1035
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 5: see things I couldn't see before. I'm glad I reached

1036
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 5: out on here.

1037
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: And that's the end of the story. We're gonna read

1038
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: the next one. Hey, it's Smiley Ryley, the hear from

1039
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: Okay story. Tom We're gonna get back to these stories.

1040
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: But here's three minutes worth of ads from our sponsors.

1041
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 5: I stuffed my face with edibles minutes before dinner with

1042
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 5: my wife's parents.

1043
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 2: Now, why would you do that?

1044
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:58,399
Speaker 5: Recently, I traveled to Denver, Colorado, with my wife and

1045
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,919
Speaker 5: my wife's parents. As a resident of a non legalized state,

1046
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 5: and as someone who.

1047
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 2: Is too much of a baby to regularly buy illegal substances,

1048
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 2: the thing I was looking forward to most was the

1049
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 2: chance to buy fancy legal devil's lettuce. What could possibly

1050
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:19,280
Speaker 2: go wrong? By the way, this comes from doctor mixed Sinister,

1051
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 2: And if you want to submit your own stories, go

1052
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 2: to the r slash Okay storytime subreddit. I'm Savannah, I'm Sophia,

1053
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 2: and we're going to give some good advice in a

1054
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 2: little goofy manner. But we don't have all the answers.

1055
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 2: We do only tell you what we would do. But

1056
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 2: you know what you shul let us know what you

1057
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 2: would do in the comments. Why not?

1058
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 5: As Opie says, so, the first thing I do upon

1059
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 5: arriving and after successfully ditching the in laws is drag

1060
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 5: my wife to a nearby dispensary for a shopping spree.

1061
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 5: And oh my god, it was just like in my dreams.

1062
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 5: Tons of different options and neat little sample jars and

1063
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 5: a team of helpful stoners walking me through the various strains.

1064
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 2: Are you looking for a mellow body huh? Or do

1065
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 2: you want something that gives you a bit more peppin

1066
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 2: energy or are you just hoping for something light to

1067
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 2: take the stress off. Yes, yes, and yes, I reply

1068
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 2: eagerly like a fat kid in a candy store and

1069
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:17,760
Speaker 2: request an eighth ounce of about seven different options. In hindsight,

1070
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 2: if I learned anything from this experience, it is that

1071
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 2: my math and science teachers never taught me basic information

1072
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 2: like what is it outs? Or how much Devil's legons

1073
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 2: can a person consume in a single weekend. Sure, I

1074
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:33,240
Speaker 2: can tell you when two speeding trains leaving separate stations

1075
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:37,760
Speaker 2: will collide, or recite av Agadro's number, but it turns

1076
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 2: out that none of that information is particularly relevant to

1077
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 2: getting high in a responsible and efficient manner. And it

1078
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 2: was at this dispensary that I also learned that you

1079
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 2: can't actually smoke in public places, including the hotel that

1080
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,280
Speaker 2: my wife and I were staying at. As a result,

1081
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 2: before leaving, I begged my wife to buy some edibles

1082
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 2: that I could munch on while we found a place

1083
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 2: to properly get lit.

1084
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 5: After expressing shock as to the absurd volume of substances

1085
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 5: that we were buying.

1086
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 2: Unlike me, she is the product of private school and

1087
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 2: understands the imperial measurement system. She relents, and we walk

1088
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 2: out of the store with what felt like a dump

1089
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 2: truck of Devil's lettuce plus a small package of seemingly

1090
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 2: innoculous ginger snap cookies. When we finally get back to

1091
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 2: the hotel room, i'd sare those bad boys open, only

1092
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 2: to find about a dozen tiny cookies roughly the size

1093
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 2: of a quarter.

1094
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 5: What the f denver? Seeing the skepticism and hunger in

1095
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 5: my eyes, my wife warns me that I should go

1096
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 5: easy and look at the back of the package first

1097
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 5: before trying one dose size half a cookie. I read

1098
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 5: silently as I started taking microbites from the edges like

1099
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 5: a giant chinchilla gnawing on a sunflower seed. But what

1100
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 5: kind of a savage only eats half a cookie? So

1101
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 5: a second later I covertly pop the remainder into my mouth,

1102
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 5: and then I quickly stuff another two cookies in my

1103
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 5: mouth for good measure. The moment my wife turns her back.

1104
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 5: We may not have legal.

1105
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 2: Devil's lettuce back home, but I routinely devour an entire

1106
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:04,879
Speaker 2: package of Milanos in one sitting without breaking sweat your

1107
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 2: move tiny ginger snaps stop stop You're so so stupid.

1108
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,959
Speaker 2: It's gonna it is going to hit him at the world.

1109
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 2: You're gonna green out, dude. Green out is such a

1110
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 2: cool way. I never yeah that green out. Yeah, it's

1111
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 2: the terminology for blacking out, but with what with you know?

1112
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's honestly, I'm gonna start using that things. Yeah.

1113
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 2: So my bets are You're about to green out so

1114
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 2: hard at the worst time. Your parents are gonna like

1115
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 2: ask you to like carry something for them, like oh

1116
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 2: could you carry this? You're gonna get up and be

1117
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 2: like whoa, and it's gonna go The world is going

1118
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 2: to focus into one specific thing. You're gonna go, oh no,

1119
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 2: what did I just do? You know what is maybe

1120
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 2: a better example of what this guy just did. It's

1121
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 2: like if you had one of those vitamin gummy bottles

1122
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 2: instead of taking the recommended too, you ate the whole bottle.

1123
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 2: You're like, it's gummies. Yeah that are like a melatonin. Yeah.

1124
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:15,479
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, I'm just taking it, says I really

1125
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 2: can't sleep. Yeah, so I'm gonna take seven yeah, and

1126
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 2: then they're like because they're tasty. Yeah, They're really good.

1127
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 2: They're really yummy. Those vitamin seacummies are delicious.

1128
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 5: About thirty minutes later, we are in the backseat of

1129
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 5: her parents' rental car on the way to dinner.

1130
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 2: And that's when things start to go bad. My stomach

1131
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 2: growls loudly and angrily. My wife looks at me with inquisitive,

1132
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 2: inquisitive eyes that seem to say diarrhea. But I merely

1133
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 2: clutch my tummy and mumble something about altitude sickness. You

1134
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 2: didn't need a whole cookie, did you, she asks, ten

1135
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 2: percent in genuine concern and ninety percent in see the irritation,

1136
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 2: of course not, I respond, liar, you ate like four

1137
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 2: avdy nye contact with the remainder of the car ride.

1138
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 2: A few minutes later, we are climbing out of our parents'

1139
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 2: rental car and heading into some trendy farm to table restaurant.

1140
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:11,879
Speaker 2: I don't remember how I made it to my seat,

1141
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 2: and I don't remember even looking at the menu, but

1142
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 2: I do remember the concerned look on the waiter's face

1143
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 2: as he asked me if I was doing all right.

1144
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 2: Keep it together, man, I say to myself. But my

1145
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 2: wife's sudden groan suggests that I may have also said

1146
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:29,399
Speaker 2: that to the waiter things are going downhill fast. He goes,

1147
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 2: He goes. He asked me if I'm all right, sir?

1148
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 2: Are you all right? Keep it together? Maast Oh my god,

1149
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 2: I would be lying things are going downhill fast. The

1150
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 2: waiter nods sympathetically, takes our orders, and then heads to

1151
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 2: the next table. The moment he walks away, my wife

1152
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 2: is staring daggers at me. I start to worry that

1153
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 2: the jig is up.

1154
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 5: You are sweating from your entire face, she says, with

1155
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 5: both pity and disgust. Not quite knowing what to do,

1156
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:06,839
Speaker 5: I reach for my napkin and proceed to blot my cheeks, nose, neck, chin,

1157
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 5: and forehead. At this point, my wife's mom looks over

1158
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 5: at me with some concern. Are you all right, she

1159
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 5: asks kindly.

1160
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh, the food's just a bit spicy, I reply,

1161
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 2: far too quick to realize that we had literally just

1162
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 2: ordered and that there is nothing on the table except

1163
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 2: for a basket of dinner rolls.

1164
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 5: My wife kicks me under the table to grab my attention.

1165
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 5: Bathroom now, she hisses, Get it together.

1166
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 2: I reluctantly get up from the table and head for

1167
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 2: the toilet, but he says that again, I'll loud. He

1168
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 2: goes good together Good. After splashing several handfuls of water

1169
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 2: on my face, I approach a urinal and start to pee.

1170
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 7: Now.

1171
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 2: One of the more disconcerting effects of those tiny ginger

1172
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 2: snat monsters is the feeling that time has become untethered

1173
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 2: from reality. As I am peen, I start to get

1174
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,320
Speaker 2: the very unsettling feeling that I have been taking a

1175
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:02,360
Speaker 2: piss for the better part of an hour, and that

1176
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 2: my wife must be pacing around the restaurant worried about me.

1177
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 2: But deep down, I know that's absurd.

1178
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 5: I've been peeing all my life, sometimes multiple times a day.

1179
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 2: I've probably taken more than fifty thousand leeks, and it.

1180
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 5: Usually only takes about a minute at most. So given

1181
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 5: that my typical pe is no more than sixty seconds,

1182
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 5: and given that it feels like I am about halfway done,

1183
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 5: that means that I've probably only been standing here about

1184
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 5: thirty seconds.

1185
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 2: Right. Oh no? But the guy at the urinal next

1186
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 2: to me doesn't respond, and instead starts shuffling away from

1187
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 2: me mid stream like a startled penguin.

1188
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 5: I try, I'll be it unsuccessfully to break ye contact.

1189
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 2: So this is a this is a your camera, you're

1190
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 2: your chat, You're the guy in the urinalk Karen.

1191
00:57:53,000 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 7: Oh so sorry, Oh sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

1192
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 2: I love this story. I'm sorry. After finally finishing, I

1193
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 2: again splashed some water on my face and returned to

1194
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 2: my seat, making sure to apologize to the table for

1195
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 2: being gone such a long time, just in case my

1196
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 2: mouth was off that it's been twenty seconds. Next, I

1197
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 2: tried briefly to engage in small talking with my wife's father,

1198
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 2: but I am far too high to understand what either

1199
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 2: of us are saying. He's just like, so, uh, how

1200
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 2: are the kids. He's like, you're very spicy these our

1201
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 2: food was spicy, right, And that's like, what are you

1202
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 2: talking about?

1203
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 1: Who are you?

1204
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 2: We are in mars. I liked at this guy to day,

1205
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 2: oh knowing, not wanting to start laughing uncontrollably at the

1206
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 2: wrong moment, or at any moment, I figured the safest

1207
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 2: idea is to nod my head periodically and drink a

1208
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 2: ton of water. Nothing cures mental fatigue like water.

1209
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 5: Right to my wife's horror, I stand up, grab my

1210
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 5: water glass and thrust it out to the waiter, who

1211
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 5: unfortunately is on the opposite side of the restaurant, But

1212
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 5: he turns out to be really cool, and, after making

1213
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 5: his way over to our table, tells me that he'll

1214
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 5: do his best to keep me stopped with ice water

1215
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 5: for the rest of the meal. He also helpfully suggests

1216
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 5: that if the dinner.

1217
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 2: Rules aren't too spicy for me, I should probably eat

1218
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 2: water too so that I'm not sitting there on an

1219
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 2: empty stomach. Smart man. However, after going through all the

1220
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 2: bread on the table and three glasses of water, I

1221
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 2: start to get worried that I need actual food to

1222
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 2: offset the growing paranoia from those tiny ginger staff gender

1223
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 2: snap devils. Do you think I should flag down the

1224
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 2: waiter again and ask what's taking so long? I suggest,

1225
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 2: helpfully to my wife what we've literally just ordered three

1226
00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 2: e FI minutes ago. He doesn't, No, I.

1227
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 3: Don't know what's going on.

1228
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 2: If I'm the wife, I think I'm saying to my

1229
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 2: parents we have to go. Yeah, my husband is clearly

1230
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 2: not well.

1231
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say, can we actually reschedule this?

1232
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,479
Speaker 2: I think like he needs to go back and rest.

1233
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 2: Something's going on. Yeah, I think he's having a stroke.

1234
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 2: I mean I'm sure both my parents would be like, yep,

1235
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 2: pie side yeah. Yeah. And at that exchange, my wife

1236
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 2: loses her cool. How many cookies did you eat? She demands,

1237
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 2: whoa easy there, torque matta? I respond, somewhat horrified at

1238
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 2: her out first, I had a few cookies, but keep

1239
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 2: it down. I don't want your parents to know how

1240
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 2: if to buy in right now. Really, they are sitting

1241
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 2: two feet away from you, they know. I look up

1242
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 2: for the first time. Notice both of my in laws

1243
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 2: just staring at me for what literally felt like an eternity.

1244
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 2: I love this story. Wow, you are hope screwed. Yeah,

1245
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,919
Speaker 2: you will hopefully never make this mistake again. You've learned

1246
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 2: your lesson. Don't take that many cookies? Yeah, you always

1247
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 2: microdose first. Yeah, and then you see how you feel.

1248
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 2: Then you go up from there if you want, you

1249
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 2: don't even have to. But the thing is, you can't

1250
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 2: take less after you've taken it. It's like cutting your hair,

1251
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 2: like if you cut too much, it's you can't go back. Yeah. Sorry, Oh,

1252
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 2: there's an edit here. As for part two of the story,

1253
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 2: there's a reason, or technically three delicious reasons why it

1254
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 2: was cut short. At that point My wife's singular focus

1255
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 2: was on getting me out of the restaurant before I

1256
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 2: either puked all over the table or pissed myself, or

1257
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 2: an unsightly combination of both. So after a few spatic

1258
01:01:51,440 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 2: two handed waves goodbye bye bye, bye bye dad, see yuah,

1259
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 2: she rushed me to the door like a secret service

1260
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 2: agent evacuating the president. My night after that was a

1261
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 2: whirlwind of barfing and groveling, mixed with a few vain

1262
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 2: attempts at getting handsy back of the hotel room. Helly, waken, spizy,

1263
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 2: let's do spizzy time.

1264
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 8: Yes, sstracted, I did that for you, and now I'm

1265
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 8: clean and the beautification process is complete.

1266
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 2: The food, sugar, The food is so spicy. It was spicy.

1267
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 2: That's why I'm doing this. So spicy.

1268
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 5: But being the absolute awesome sweetie that she is, my

1269
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 5: wife stuck with me through the whole nightmare, whispering over

1270
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 5: and over in my ear, please don't pass away.

1271
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 2: We have a mortgage. I like your wife. You're stupid.

1272
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 4: I like it.

1273
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 2: That honestly great story. It was a great story. I

1274
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 2: love that story. I wonder how your parents react her parents?

1275
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 2: Her parents reacted after that? Yeah, I want to know

1276
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 2: how your parents reacted, or how her parents reacted, because

1277
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 2: that I would want to see what they said. I

1278
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 2: feel like, I don't know. She's pretty understanding about it,

1279
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 2: Like she was pissed obviously, because like she's trying to

1280
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 2: have a nice dinner with her parents, and then you

1281
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 2: ruin it by being really freaking high, but as you

1282
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 2: were too hungry for cookies. Yeah, I don't know, but

1283
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 2: that's the end of that story.
