1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: I woke up in a hospital to a fifty five 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: thousand dollars bill. 3 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 2: Now I'm broke, so I want to get the money 4 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 2: back by any means necessary. 5 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: Might be able. I was in Nassas, Bahamas, I'm guessing 6 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: that's the Bahamas. 7 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 2: And suffered a stroke unexpectedly. 8 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 1: I'm young, low thirties and an overall pretty active and healthy, 9 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: and so a stroke was the last thing I would 10 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 1: expect to happen at this time my life. 11 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 2: Yeah that sucks. Yeah, that's awful. 12 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: So when the stroke hit the left side of my body, 13 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: I went limp. I wasn't able to talk, walk, or function. 14 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: It is similar to being paralyzed and all around sucks. 15 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: I imagine it sucks a lot. Yeah, I would not 16 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: recommend a stroke to anyway. The hotel thankfully called an ambulance, 17 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: which brought me to a hospital. And here's where the 18 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: fun begins. Ladies and gentlemen, step right up, step right up. 19 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: Ont's listen to the story. My girlfriend, let's call her Tea, 20 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: went to give them my health insurance card when I 21 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: was admitted, which covers me internationally, but the hospital refused 22 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: by insurance and said I don't have coverage and insisted 23 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: on a cash payment or they would not treat me. Wow, 24 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: when you're having a stroke, minutes count. So she gave 25 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: them whatever they wanted to treat me. This is when 26 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: Tea gave them my credit card. Important notes, t is 27 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: not an authorized card holder on my credit card account. 28 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: She does not have her own card, nor is she 29 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: an authorized signer or user on my account. She simply 30 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: went into my wallet while I was unconscious and gave 31 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: it to them, so I was not able to step 32 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: in and deal with the situation. I woke up hours 33 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: later to Tea crying by my bedside. She was explaining 34 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: to me the situation even though I was conscious. I 35 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: was not able to process nor had the energy to respond. 36 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: She was explaining that they would chase her down the 37 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: hallway for five thousand, ten, twenty thousand at a time, 38 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 1: whatever they could, as if buying a used car. Wow. 39 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: It was surreal and makes me so mad, But she 40 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: did not have any other options at the time. She 41 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: notified my parents, who showed up a day later. My 42 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: father was raising hell about them not taking much insurance 43 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: when he arrived, but it was not the time to argue, 44 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: and he made arrangements to get me back to the States. 45 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: So they're charging him up the wazoo. 46 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this is insane. 47 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: He is not an authorized user on my credit card account, 48 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: but she was doing what she thought was best for 49 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: me while trying not to let me die. I think 50 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: anyone else would have done the same, which I mean, like, 51 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 1: what else do you do in this situation? 52 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 2: There really is nothing else except trying to perform the 53 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 2: surgery yourself. 54 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: Exactly, you know, just do the open heart surgery on 55 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: your own, pull up a YouTube video and freaking do it. 56 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: Come on, Long story short, I was transported via air 57 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: ambulance back to the States Pompano Beach, Florida, where my 58 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: health insurance took over, and now the dust has settled, 59 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: I have fifty five thousand dollars in charges on my 60 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: credit card from said hospital in the Bahamas. 61 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 2: Wow, oh my god. 62 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: I have spoken to my insurance company and they said 63 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: the hospital should have taken the insurance when I was admitted. 64 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: But the hospital prefers cash because insurance companies will pay 65 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: discounter rates, whereas cash out of pocket is subject to 66 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: whatever the hospital charges. The insurance company will not reimburse 67 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: me for the full amounts, as that is not what 68 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: they would have paid the hospital since T is not 69 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: an authorized user and she signed all the credit card receipts. 70 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: I already attempted to charge back the charges, but the 71 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: credit card company has rejected this as a claim, stating 72 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: I have benefited from the services at the hospital and 73 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: it's not considered FROs. I'm not trying to sift the 74 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: hospital on their bill. Rather, I want my money back 75 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: and have my health insurance company pay them what they 76 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: should have been paid. My blood boils knowing that they 77 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: chased a grieving, emotional girl for money. Knowing what they 78 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: were doing, they took complete advantage of the situation. So 79 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: does anyone out there have any advice or work for 80 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: Bank of American Disputes Department that can help guide me anyway? 81 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: Or should I bother contact your lawyer in the Bahamas. 82 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: I assume I have to deal with an attorney over 83 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: there and not here, correct. If so, a contact or 84 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: advice on how to find one over there would be 85 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: a great complete side notes on where I'm at today. 86 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: I'm in rehab full time and started walking a few 87 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: weeks ago for the first time, and since the stroke, 88 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: it's not a pretty walk but gets me around. My 89 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: left arm is still flaccid but starting to move, so 90 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: I'm encouraged. And the drs think six to twelve months 91 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: to get full movement back and say that being young 92 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: is one of the advantages in rehab. So I guess 93 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: the silver lining is at least he had his fricking 94 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: heart attack when he's thirty and can get most of 95 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,239 Speaker 1: his movement back. 96 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 2: There you go. 97 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: I type this post using voice dictation software. Apologies for 98 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: any typos, grammatical errors, or formatting. I suck with grammar 99 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: before the stroke. And John, there is an update. But 100 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: what do you think? What should op do? 101 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 2: I mean, definitely like we are not like the premiere 102 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 2: experts in health care law or anything here, but I 103 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 2: feel like kind of what Opie was listing out, like 104 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 2: contact a lawyer in the Bahamas, keep calling around, like 105 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 2: asking all of these professionals, like, hey, what are all 106 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: of my like viable options here to get the money back? 107 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: Because I feel like there is a way. 108 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: There has to be.

They shorted 113 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: me forty six hundred because the hospital overcharged me, meaning 114 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: the invoices added up to more than when they ran 115 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: their card. Hospital is a bunch of thieves. So now 116 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: I have to see if the hospital refund me and 117 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: overage or open a new dispute with b of A 118 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: Bank of America for the overage.

My family has 164 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: lived here since the nineteen twenties. It is on a 165 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: lake and my wife and I plan on using it 166 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: as a vacation home and rented out on Airbnb. The 167 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: home needs a lot of work as it hasn't been 168 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: maintained before he bought it. We asked everyone to come 169 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: and take what they wanted. The house was filled with 170 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: decades of stuff. They took what they wanted and that 171 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: was the end of it. As we have begun demoing 172 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: and upstairs bedroom we found a loose floorboard. After removing 173 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: some carpet under the floorboard, we found a metal box 174 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: with an old block on it and a coffee can 175 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: filled with old coins. We cut the lock and found 176 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: two thousand dollars in bills from the nineteen sixties, a 177 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: pocket watch, gold cuff links, ruby earrings, sapphire and diamond bracelets, 178 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: and a pearl necklace. Got a good haul for real. 179 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: Based off of this, we think it belonged to my 180 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: great grandparents, who died in an accident in nineteen sixty three. 181 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: I called my mother and told her what we found. 182 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: She was shocked. My great grandfather didn't trust banks and 183 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: had hidden valuables all over the place. Apparently a lot 184 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: of people did this after the Great Depression. My mother 185 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: thought they had found everything. She's now asking that we 186 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: hand it all over, sell it and split it between 187 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: the family members. 188 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 2: Mama, there's this little thing called finders keepers, losers weepers. 189 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: I said, I would give them the cash and the 190 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: antique coins, but I would like to hold onto the 191 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: jewelry to pass on to my future children. My mother 192 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: said that my siblings need the money because they are 193 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: both unemployed due to the global situation. She considers what 194 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: I found family properly. Legally, I purchased everything in the house, 195 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: so I think I am covered. My mom and uncle 196 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: are saying we can not come to Christmas if we 197 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: don't hand it over. So am I the a hole 198 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: for not splitting the lost family treasure? John? What do 199 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: you think? 200 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 2: Man? 201 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: Also, how much do you think it's worth? Put your 202 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: answers to the comments? How much you think this whole 203 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: treasure is worth? Right here? I actually think if it 204 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: was their grandparents, they probably would have wanted the parents 205 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: to inherit it. I think it should be split among 206 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: the family. 207 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 2: Here here we go. I think I got to appraise it, 208 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 2: divide the value by how many people there are, you know, 209 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 2: the parents, the grand children, et cetera, and then divvy 210 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: it up. And then yeah, if op does want to 211 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 2: pass down, like maybe like the sapphire earrings for example, 212 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 2: buy out the rest of the value for that and 213 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 2: then pass it down. 214 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: I think that that's the most fair thing. My husband's 215 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: new bimbo is stealing my daughter's money and clothes. I'm 216 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: going to sue for full custody. So am I the 217 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: a hole? 218 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 2: Why don't we take him for everything they got? 219 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: I thirty six female, have a daughter, Sadie twelve with 220 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: my ex husband John thirty nine. We got divorced by 221 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: five years ago and I have primary custody. Well, he 222 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: sees her two weekends a month. Last year he got 223 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: married to Amanda, who has sole custody of her kids, 224 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: ten and eight female from a previous marriage. Amanda is 225 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: a stay at home mom, not for any health reasons 226 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: or so on. She just doesn't want to work. While 227 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: John works at a nine to five. He makes good 228 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: money to support them, but not enough to live in luxury. 229 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: I have a much higher, big job all right over, 230 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: says it just me and Sadie. I make sure she 231 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: has the best possible life. She goes to private school, 232 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: set her up a college fund, and she has much 233 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: better things than most kids, phones, clothes, et cetera. I 234 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: still managed to raise her to be humble and not 235 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: take things for granted. And she's one of the hardest 236 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: working people I know, always making sure to get good 237 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: grades and keep her room tidy. 238 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:47,719 Speaker 2: There you go. 239 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: Well, last few times she came back after a weekend 240 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: at John's, I noticed that the clothes she was bringing 241 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: back in her Duffel r not her size, and b 242 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: much cheaper and poorer quality than I usually buy her. 243 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: I asked her why that is, and she told me 244 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: that while she's at her dad's. Amanda takes away her 245 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: knife clothes and gives them to her kids, while Sadie 246 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: gets the clothes they buy from targets. Wow, this is 247 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: like the worst case of robinhood I've ever heard. What's 248 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: from the rich your kids, and give to the poor 249 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: my kids. I asked if she wanted them back, but 250 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: she said she didn't mind sharing since all her favorite 251 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: clothes were kept here, which is a phenomenal attitude. The 252 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: problem came when I went to pick her up last weekend. 253 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: I had a business meeting and couldn't drive her over, 254 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: so Amanda offered to just pick Sadie up from school, 255 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: which hadn't happened before. When I got there on Sunday, 256 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: John and Amanda asked me to sit down with them, 257 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: and when Sadie came to hug me, Amanda sent her 258 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: to her room quite harshly, saying her punishment wasn't over yet. 259 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: I was confused because Sadie very rarely misbehaves. They sat 260 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: me down in the kitchen and said it was unfair 261 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: for Sadie to be going to private school. Well, her 262 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: kids had to go to a public one, so they 263 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: had decided that Sadie would be pulled out of the 264 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: private school and put in this same school as the girls. 265 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: What you're fucking bunkers, What the fuck? 266 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 1: And this is like a private school that o P 267 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: is paying for. You do not get to decide this. 268 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: They said, I should keep up Sadie's punishment because when 269 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 1: they told her, she blew up at them, told them 270 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: it wasn't fair and yelled that Amanda and her kids 271 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: weren't even her real family, that all they did was steal. 272 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 2: Let just frecket true. How dare you tell the truth? 273 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: I told them, in no uncertain terms, to fuck off. 274 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: I would not be pulling my child out of a 275 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: school she likes, away from her friends because they can't 276 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: afford it. I told them they could easily make as 277 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: much money as me if Amanda started working in her field, 278 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: because she has the qualifications and the job market is 279 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: very good. I told them that their money problems are 280 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: not my issue, and if Sadie's items get stolen again 281 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: or they try to or out of school, I'll be 282 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: taking them to court. Yeah, blowing up my phone ever 283 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: since calling me selfish an a hole, and after telling 284 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: the story to a friend, he told me I was 285 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: rubbing my success in their face. But I still don't 286 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: feel like I did anything wrong. Oh am, I the 287 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: a hole And there is an edit in an update, 288 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: but I want your gut check right now. 289 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 2: AB salute Lee.

This way, he 302 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: still sees Sadie as much and they can try to 303 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: repair their relationship, but she doesn't have to go back there. 304 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: All contact between us is made through emails, which are 305 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: se seed by my lawyer, and I've asked for Sadie's 306 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: things back. I've talked to Sadie and we decided that 307 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: she's going to try therapy for a little while to 308 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: help deal with everything that's happened.

I am 340 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 2: open to, like you know, basically a very open and 341 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 2: I would say very empathetic approach considering how unempathetic and what. 342 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: Apples at shit crazy this dude was, Oh my god, 343 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: my mom is trying to steal my liver to save 344 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: her life. 345 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: The thing is, I don't really care if he dies. 346 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: Am I the a hole? When I was a kid, 347 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: my mom was pretty awful to me and my sibling resentful, 348 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: a bit of a bully, never hugged any of us, 349 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: and mainly told us how we ruined her life. You 350 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: get the picture. I moved out at seventeen to keep 351 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: my handity. It sounds like a lovely home. 352 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: It's so nice. 353 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: I'm twenty eight now and have never had much of 354 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: a relationship with her after moving out, as she never 355 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: once admitted that she had done something really effed up 356 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: to us. My sister is married and has two kids. 357 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: My brother is divorced with three kids. I got a 358 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: call from the hospital that my mom managed to drink 359 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: her liver out of order and need to transplant. All 360 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: of us siblings were found out to be a match. 361 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: My sister and brother, once they realized that cutting out 362 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: part of your liver isn't risk free, backed out. I 363 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: was told I have something called sidis and versus, meaning 364 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: my organs are abnormally placed, and that it would make 365 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: the risk of surgery higher for me four percent risk 366 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: of death within two weeks of surgery and higher risk 367 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: of other awful happened, and of course a hundred two 368 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: percent guarantee that my mother will drink away that liver too. 369 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the other thing is you're almost like enabling. 370 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: Now everyone, the doctor, my mom, siblings, everyone is telling 371 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 1: me I should do it because I don't have kids, 372 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: so who cares if the risk is high. 373 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 2: I have kids, So you're useless. You're a waste of 374 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 2: human life. You're not popping out babies like a gatlin gun. 375 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: This pitched me off. My family never valued my lifestyle 376 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 1: as a decided not to do life by the script 377 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: about a cabin in the wilderness in the north and 378 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: work from home, so I rarely have to leave my 379 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: lovely little hideaway. I make enough money to live the 380 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: life I'm always dreamed of. But apparently that does not 381 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: count since I don't want kids. And my mom, who 382 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: never cared if I lived or died, suddenly thinks she 383 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: deserves my liver because she gave birth to me. 384 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 2: She's a vending machine of organs. You know, it's like 385 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 2: b three liver. Please. 386 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: The fact that she then spent seventeen years bullying me 387 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: is irrelevant, because family and kids are a gift from God. Well, 388 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: the doctor said to me, Well, it is an increased risk, 389 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: but your mother needs a new liver. At least you 390 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: don't risk leaving children behind. 391 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 2: That. 392 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 1: I was so stunned I forgot the entire Swedish language 393 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: and just sat there. I'm guessing, oh piece from Sweden? 394 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: What did I just hear? And who will care for 395 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: my pets if I die? Ohpi, he's a dog ball, 396 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: you know. And my mom, I gave you my life. 397 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: You should do the same for me. After all, I 398 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 1: gave you my best years and raising you wish, don't y'all. 399 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: She also gave me two fractured ribs and one time 400 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: locked me out of the house in the middle of 401 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: winter and I had to smash a window with my 402 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: hand to get in. I can't believe I even tried that. 403 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: I agreed to be tested as a donor, as if 404 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: she would have magically changed. I'm leaving the city tonight, 405 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: taking the train north, and will hopefully be back in 406 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: my cozy home tomorrow. When the doctor calls to hear 407 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: my decision, I might not even pick up cold. Guess what, 408 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: John what? There's a freaking up date? 409 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 2: Oh goodness. 410 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: Op sent an image of where they live, and it's beautiful. 411 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 1: I've spoken to the people involved, my mom, my, siblings, 412 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: and the medical staff, and I told everyone that I 413 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: won't donate a part of my liver to my alcoholic mother. 414 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: The doctor at the hospital where my mother was treated 415 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: initially when her liver crash simply said, I understand, but 416 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: that also means that I must inform you you need 417 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: to prepare to say goodbye to her in a not 418 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: so distant future. I might not particularly like my mother, 419 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 1: but I don't wish death on anyone, so that sucks. 420 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: But again, she drank her own liver away. It took 421 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: years of hard work to reach the place where she 422 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: is now. She's been to several clinics on all sorts 423 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: of help. She would stay until they stopped treating her 424 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: with oxes can and then check out and start it 425 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: all over again. So much of the taxpayer's money has 426 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: been spent and thrown away on her, and she refuses 427 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: to take any responsibility at all. It's always the nurses 428 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 1: or the doctor's fault that she drinks it don't give 429 00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: me the right. 430 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 2: I thinks she would do the. 431 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: Same to any donated liver, and I told the doctor this. 432 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: My sister said that she understood, and now that things 433 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: have had time to calm down a bit, even said 434 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: that she thinks it's the right thing to do. 435 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 2: My brother does not agree with. 436 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: My decision, so maybe donate your own liver bro on, 437 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: which actually op he said. And I told him that 438 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: he can donate a nice size of his own liver then, 439 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: But then, of course he tells me he can't because 440 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: he's got kid and it's too much of a risk 441 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: for it. I, on the other hand, and am obviously 442 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: disposable and my mother, so I honestly can't be bothered 443 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: to type it out. I phoned her to tell her 444 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: that she will not be getting my liver, and as expected, 445 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: she went from jovial to resentful by the drop of 446 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: a hat. Everything from I'm your mother, you only get 447 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: one mother, two you must be there for family was 448 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: thrown at me. She even referred to the fact that 449 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: I once risked my life for my dog when she 450 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: went through the ice on a frozen lake. But you 451 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: won't do this for your mom, No, no, I will not. Actually, 452 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: she said many awful things. I guess I can understand 453 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: that she's upset and scared, but even I have a 454 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: limit how much of that I'm willing to stand. So 455 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: eventually I just said I'm done, and I hung up, 456 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: not sure what to expect now don't really care either. 457 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: I'm glad that my sister came around. Perhaps my brother 458 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 1: will if given time. Maybe not. Either way, I'm happy 459 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 1: to have made my decision clear. Now that it's done, 460 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: I can get back to enjoying my life far from 461 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: the mall, in the comfort of my home and the 462 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: company of my awesome dogs. 463 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 2: Oh, he's colder than an ice liver fresh off the surgery, 464 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 2: colder than her dog when it fell through the ice. 465 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: I mean, okay, So my question is, if your parents 466 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: was dying of liver cancer, would you give your liver 467 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: to them? Let's say they don't have a drinking problem, 468 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: they just had liver cancer. Would you give your liver 469 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: to your mom or dad? I want to hear what 470 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: everyone else in the comment says, and why John, you 471 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: would know? 472 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like my mom is not like this mom. 473 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 2: This mom crazy. Yeah. No, I would definitely do it. 474 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 2: But I think it's also an interesting scenario of like 475 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 2: putting yourself in OPI shues of like, if this person 476 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 2: is your mom, would you do the same. 477 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: Thing If this person is my mom, I wouldn't. If 478 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: it was my actual mom, I would give her my liver. Yeah, 479 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: but where do you give your liver to your mom? 480 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: Put your answers in the comments and tell us why. 481 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 2: My friend is jealous of my special needs privileges and 482 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 2: demands that I don't need them. It's not my fault. 483 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 2: I have a disability? Am I a hole? About a 484 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 2: year ago, my university added psychological problems to these special 485 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 2: needs students' requests. I have been diagnosed with severe anxiety 486 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 2: and clinical depression, so I decided to apply to the program. 487 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 2: The program is strictly enforced, and they requested my diagnosis, 488 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 2: the date, and the doctor. Then they contacted my doctor 489 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 2: about it. Well, I got in and I now have 490 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 2: about fifty percent more time in my exams, and I'm 491 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 2: able to record the lectures. I can get them from 492 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 2: the program when I need. There's some absences allowed, et cetera, 493 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 2: et cetera. One of my friends learned about my special 494 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 2: need status and then confronted me the first thing you 495 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 2: do whenever your friends get a dyke? Yeah this episode, 496 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 2: he is, you just got cancer? How dare you? They 497 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 2: told me, since I was stable and functioning, I shouldn't 498 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 2: be using the program, and I was probably taking away 499 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 2: from someone who needed it more It's true that I 500 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 2: have been in therapy for a while, and I've been 501 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 2: taking my medication. My panic attacks are less frequent and 502 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 2: less damaging. She called me an a hole for taking 503 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 2: part in a program that is quote unquote not meant 504 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 2: for me. Some of my friends told me that they 505 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 2: agree with her and that they have also been thinking 506 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 2: this for a while. Wait, so they're all mad that 507 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 2: Op's getting better. So now I am truly conflicted. On 508 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 2: one hand, I truly benefited from the program, But on 509 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 2: the other hand, maybe they're right and I'm using this selfishly. 510 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,719 Speaker 2: So Redda, am I the a hole? Now there is 511 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 2: an update, But Sam, as of right now, do you 512 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 2: think OP the a hole? No? 513 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: I mean the school is deciding who gets into the 514 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: programs and who doesn't, and they are deciding the criteria. 515 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: If OPI fits the criteria, then they get in. 516 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 2: OPI got in fair and square. 517 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: Ooh, are Op's friends to say that you're not disabled 518 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: enough for the first of. 519 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 2: All, thank you to everyone for the encouragement to use 520 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 2: my special needs status and to confront my friend about 521 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 2: her reaction. I admit I used some of your words 522 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 2: when talking to her to better explain myself. So we talked, 523 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 2: and at first it seemed like she was sympathetic to 524 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 2: my situation, but after a while she told me that 525 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 2: I was exaggerating, and she specifically told me, quote, I 526 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 2: deal with depression and anxiety, and I don't need a program. 527 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 2: Well for you, then I guess you don't need the program. Congratulations, 528 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 2: Oh my God wants the program? You don't. She expressed 529 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 2: that she feels as though this was encouraging me to 530 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 2: be lazy, and while she understood there wasn't a limit 531 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 2: to students in the program, she told me that I 532 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 2: was being unfair to those with learning disabilities by getting 533 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 2: the same accommodations. I tried to explain my accommodations my 534 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 2: need to get more time because of a panic attack 535 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 2: I had during a Procter Zoom exam, but she kind 536 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 2: of flared up and shouted that it wasn't fair to 537 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 2: her that she was not getting the same treatment. She 538 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 2: felt like the university was playing favorites. Has she applied? 539 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 2: Have you applied? I decided to remove myself from a 540 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 2: situation and told her that I was rethinking our friendship 541 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 2: and not to contact me for now. So there it 542 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 2: is not a happy update, but I at least got 543 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 2: to explain myself. I'm also contemplating whether I should send 544 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 2: this post to her for her to see other people's reactions, 545 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 2: but I'm not sure. 546 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: Honestly, I think it could help, Like, maybe that would help. 547 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 2: I think that probably would help to show. 548 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: Her how much of it that dumb dumb she's being. 549 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 2: Thank you guys again, you all really helped me with 550 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 2: my confidence in this situation. 551 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 1: I love when Reddit actually comes out to bad for people. 552 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: That is a beautiful moment when it happens.

We dated in college and 566 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 2: got married afterwards. He finished college with a finance degree 567 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 2: and thought he would go into accounting, big money bags 568 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 2: over yeah, yeah, I know. Oh. My man quickly found 569 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 2: out that accounting was not his passion. He started bouncing 570 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 2: around jobs and ideas, business ideas, being a teacher, being 571 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 2: a lawyer, but nothing really kept him saying, this is 572 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 2: what I want to do my passion. This was pre COVID. 573 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 2: Since COVID he has not attempted anything, and he said 574 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 2: he says, after the pandemic there will be a boom 575 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 2: and jobs and he can find something easily then that 576 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 2: he's passionate about.

We sell medical testing equipment, so it was 583 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 2: a big product of twenty twenty. I was given a promotion. 584 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 2: I got a little pay raise and a small bonus. 585 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 2: I was really excited because I could finally repair my 586 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,239 Speaker 2: purse and replace my shoes. My friend's puppy destroyed it, 587 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 2: but I acknowledge I should not have left my purse 588 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 2: on such a low stool in front of the puppy's bed, 589 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 2: So my fault side note totally not your fal topee. 590 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: The friend should pay for that. 591 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 2: I was so excited to tell my husband, but he 592 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 2: seemed more exc than me over this promotion. He started 593 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,719 Speaker 2: going off on hell he could redo his game area 594 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 2: and get the nice new system since he was tired 595 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 2: of his others. 596 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: Bro, why would she get you something that's just gonna 597 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: make you more of a piece. 598 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 2: Of sh eye was dumbfounded. I got really quiet because 599 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 2: I almost could not believe what he was saying. He 600 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 2: eventually goes out and gets himself a new system, chair 601 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 2: and a mouse. 602 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: Is he trying to become a streamer? 603 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 2: He had basically spent my bonus. I was so upset 604 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 2: and ultimately hurt a numb We ended up getting into 605 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 2: an argument and he called me selfish for not being 606 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 2: happy that he got to achieve his dream, and I'm 607 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 2: being spoiled for being upset that I couldn't spend this 608 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 2: money on me first, it's her money. I basically called 609 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 2: him an ungrateful ahole and asked why does he deserve 610 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 2: new stuff when I have been providing. He got really 611 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 2: quiet on that one and just stormed out, saying that 612 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 2: he would be staying with his family only about an hour. 613 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 2: And I've been getting angry calls and texts due to 614 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 2: the fact that he doesn't feel supported in his own home, 615 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 2: supported doing what And if I'm making the money, then 616 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 2: I can get whatever I want when I want. And 617 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 2: I shouldn't throw it in his face that he doesn't 618 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 2: have any gum, which is not true. I'm not saying 619 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 2: that I'm trying to keep a roof over his head 620 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 2: and food on the table. All of his friends and 621 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 2: family think I'm way overreacting to something that makes my 622 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 2: husband happy. How about you get a job or just 623 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 2: just contribute or work in some way manner or fashion. 624 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 2: Do anything but play video games and steal money, and 625 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 2: the next time we get a large sum of money. 626 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 2: My husband said that he would let me repair my purse. 627 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 2: I haven't responded, and don't think I will for a 628 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 2: few days. But I've gotten so many you're such a 629 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 2: bee and you're the a hole. I'm starting to wonder 630 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,959 Speaker 2: if I really am. There is a wow, a pretty 631 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 2: meaty update actually updates. W Is OPI the a hole? 632 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 2: What should Opie do?

But Sam, I feel like no matter 635 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: the gender of your partner, just like, bring something to 636 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: the table is important. But that could look like a 637 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: different bunch of ways. It could look like, you know, 638 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: helping out with the house, taking care of kids. All right, well, 639 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: let's see that at this update. 640 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 2: Let's see, let's see. I was not expecting this kind 641 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 2: of support. I appreciate all the kind messages and compassion. 642 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 2: This is more than I've ever felt in my life, 643 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 2: So thank you, redd it. I took the weekend to 644 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 2: reflect on what I want and read through the comments 645 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 2: and messages. I see your point and that I can't 646 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,479 Speaker 2: keep treating this like a marriage if he doesn't. So 647 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 2: here's to today and my first steps towards freedom. I 648 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 2: am separating the finances immediately and contacting a local lawyer 649 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 2: to see my options and rights, as well as therapy 650 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 2: options for him. I will present this to him and 651 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 2: he gets to choose but I refuse to baby an 652 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 2: almost thirty year old. If he wants that, well, he 653 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 2: has his mother and we have one final update. I 654 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 2: want to thank everyone who reached out and snapped me 655 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 2: out of this daze with my soon to be X. 656 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 2: He was extremely toxic and just made me feel not 657 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,719 Speaker 2: worth anything, thus probably why it was so hard to 658 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 2: see he wasn't it. So I want to thank everyone 659 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 2: who offered words of encouragement and even the tough love 660 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 2: I needed to hear it. After we went back to 661 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 2: his parents, he was waiting for my apology, which I 662 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 2: never did, and when he noticed I drained our joint 663 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 2: bank account, he escalated, saying I was his and how 664 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 2: I could never actually leaved him, and that he owned me. 665 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 2: Oh my god, all of my success was his and 666 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 2: without him I would be a loser drop out. His 667 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 2: family was even worse. I had already blocked them, so 668 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 2: they started making fake accounts and using apps to hide 669 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 2: their number to harass me, saying I ruined their son's 670 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 2: life and how he sacrificed everything to get me where 671 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 2: I am to throw him to what city's sacrifice? He 672 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 2: wouldn't even sacrifice his gaming console for your purse and 673 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 2: that this was disgusting and that I deserved to rot. 674 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 2: I provided all of this to my lawyer, who recommended 675 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 2: that I take a restraining order in case he wanted 676 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 2: to escalate further, and not to engage ever, but just 677 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 2: to keep the record. This has caused my anxiety to 678 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 2: go through the roof, and I'm working on this with 679 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 2: my therapist. I've separated the finances completely and changed my banks, 680 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 2: even told them I soon to be x is never 681 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 2: allowed to access these accounts because he would take it 682 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 2: all and run. I have changed my number and gone 683 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 2: completely dark on social media. Besides, this part of me 684 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 2: is broken that our marriage came to an end over 685 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 2: a computer. I keep thinking I am stupid and how 686 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 2: I couldn't see the warning signs. I must look like 687 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 2: a fool to everyone. All in all, I'm slowly picking 688 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 2: up the pieces of my life and figuring out how 689 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 2: to move forward. Thank you to anyone still reading this, 690 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 2: and thank you everyone who helped get me here. Opie, 691 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 2: You've been through the ringer. 692 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: But I feel like this is probably the best conclusion 693 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: that you could have hoped yes for. It sounds like 694 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: the guy completely just showed his colors, and better that 695 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: he show you and you get out of it than 696 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: like you know, him stringing you along. 697 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 2: Imagine spending your whole life with this guy. I mean 698 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 2: that would be awful. 699 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: So please share your stories of your significant other being 700 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: a piece of and not working at all if you 701 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: have those. 702 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 2: My boyfriend is boning a stranger. So I broke into 703 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 2: his house and caught him inside her. He yelled at 704 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 2: me for spying on him. Am I the a hole? 705 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 2: Give the man some privacy? No, my boyfriend is cheating 706 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 2: on me with an eighteen year old who still lives 707 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 2: with her parents. 708 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: He is thirty six man robbing the cradle over here. 709 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 2: He my boyfriend passed me his phone and a message 710 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 2: came through saying, I miss you, babe. How many emojis 711 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 2: were there? No emojis that we know that we know, okay, 712 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 2: that we know of. He travels a lot for work 713 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 2: and he had just gotten back that weekend. I said nothing, 714 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 2: I was taken aback. I spent that night at his 715 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 2: place and checked his phone while he slept, and I 716 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 2: confirmed it. 717 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: Oh no. 718 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 2: All the time while I was texting him and he 719 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 2: never responded to me, he was talking to her and 720 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 2: effing eighteen year old who he had mentioned in the 721 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 2: past was the daughter of a family friend. 722 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: Oh that cannot be a good luck for that family 723 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: friend relationship. 724 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 2: He mentioned how he missed her, how much he wanted her, 725 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 2: and how much loving he needed when he got back. 726 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 2: All the while he is telling me how much he 727 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 2: loves me and wants a future with me. Bro, he 728 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 2: just wants a future with both of them. Come on, 729 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 2: he said so much to ask. I haven't confronted him 730 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 2: about it. I don't even know how to. I've never 731 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,720 Speaker 2: been cheated on before, and I feel dirty and disgusting. 732 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 2: How can people be so fine? 733 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 1: Pretty rough? 734 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 2: Dude. 735 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 1: It's like bad enough to cheat on someone, and then 736 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: it's bad enough to cheat on someone who is like 737 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,760 Speaker 1: half your age, but that it's way worse to cheat 738 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: on someone who is half your age and is your 739 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: family friend. 740 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 2: God, dude, Sam, we have a series of updates.

I 744 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 2: am crying my eyes out. Some things to quick clarify, 745 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 2: we don't live together. However, I did leave something in 746 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,359 Speaker 2: his place that I need to get back. I did 747 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 2: take some screenshots. The messages are creepy and disgusting. I 748 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,280 Speaker 2: do have the girl's phone number, and with a little digging, 749 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 2: I found her parents' social media. 750 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: Oooh, there's gonna be some sweet revenge in the future. 751 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,879 Speaker 2: I agree that maybe I should not confront him, though 752 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 2: part of me wants her parents to know the pity 753 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 2: revenge all right. On to update number two. Overwhelmed by 754 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 2: this response is some more context. He had mentioned this 755 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 2: girl before and how he sort of defended her because 756 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 2: someone was bullying her. She's very overweight. I never imagined 757 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 2: he would be screwing her based on the conversation. She's 758 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,919 Speaker 2: got some self esteem issues and he comes across as 759 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 2: a creep example, he tells her that she is too 760 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 2: young and he doesn't think she's ready for the ride, 761 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 2: even though he's all about her. Her response is that 762 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,839 Speaker 2: she likes that he has his life put together and 763 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 2: that she will do anything for him. His response, I 764 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 2: want you and hope you know your mind. 765 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: Now weird, bro, this is some manipulation. 766 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 2: I feel gross even writing this. I don't know how 767 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 2: long this has been going. For the conversation. In the 768 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 2: screenshots started over a week ago and it seems like 769 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 2: he has been deleting them. Yikes. Also, I don't know 770 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 2: for how long he's known this family. He lived out 771 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,399 Speaker 2: of state for a while and he's only been here 772 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 2: for three years or so. We've been together for one year. 773 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 2: And no, I'm not blaming this girl. As far as 774 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 2: I know, she's unaware of my existence too. I found 775 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 2: out over the weekend. I was in shock, but I 776 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 2: didn't confront him about it. So it's still very raw 777 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 2: regarding exposing him. He's going to get angry as his 778 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 2: image is important to him and this coming out would 779 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 2: damage it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, No. 780 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: Bro, he knows where I work, where I live, and 781 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: then I'm alone. 782 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,720 Speaker 2: I'm getting out and have to do it carefully because 783 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,879 Speaker 2: once he finds out that I outed him, he will retaliate. 784 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,720 Speaker 2: The final update, I decided to go to his place. 785 00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 2: I called to him and texted him letting him know 786 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,959 Speaker 2: I was on my way. He didn't respond. I still 787 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 2: went stupid. I know his car was there, so I 788 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,399 Speaker 2: called again. No response. Long story short, I saw them 789 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 2: together by going and peeking through the back window. I 790 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 2: knocked on the front door and well, no, surprise. She 791 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:20,280 Speaker 2: was in shock. He got angry and closed the door 792 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 2: in my face. I walked away. He proceeded to text 793 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 2: that showing up unannounced was crappy, and I just replied 794 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 2: that it would be the last time. You know what 795 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 2: else is crappy? You teating on me with this eighteen 796 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 2: year old family bread. I couldn't get my things, which 797 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 2: wasn't a lot, so I will just take that as 798 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:39,280 Speaker 2: a loss. 799 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:40,360 Speaker 1: It's over. 800 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,799 Speaker 2: While I don't have family around, I do have a 801 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 2: solid friend group. He's blocked everywhere, and I just want 802 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 2: to hide under a rock for a while. How can 803 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 2: I be so effing blind and stupid. Whether I'll send 804 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 2: the messages to the parents, I haven't decided yet, Plus 805 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 2: the possibility of him coming after me, as selfish as 806 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 2: it sounds, I got to take care of myself first 807 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 2: or I'm going to lose use it completely. If she 808 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 2: didn't know about me, now she knows, and if she did, 809 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 2: I just feel sorry for her. I truly appreciate the 810 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,879 Speaker 2: supporting and caring comments. And yes, as of last night, 811 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 2: that piece of doo doo man is out of my life, 812 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 2: thank god. Wow. 813 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I would love to hear everyone's like cheating stories, Yeah, 814 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 1: if they've ever caught a partner cheating. I think she 815 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,839 Speaker 1: made the right decision in leaving this guy. I think 816 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: also do what makes her feel best, you know, like, 817 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 1: you know, don't bend over backwards to do like like 818 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: what you think is best for like the other girl 819 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 1: or for him, like just you know, you need to 820 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: take care of your mental health first. Yeah, and then 821 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: maybe once you're feeling in a better place, you can 822 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: talk about talking to the parents. But yeah, protect yourself first. 823 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: The car salesman was sexist, so I bought the car 824 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,280 Speaker 1: from someone else. He lost his commission and made nothing. 825 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 1: Am I the a hole? I need a new car, 826 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: as my old one is a thirty five years old 827 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: and on its last legs ohpe, your dummy cars have wheels. 828 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: I also decided to get an upper end luxury car, 829 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: which was a huge upgrade from my old but reliablevoll Though, 830 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: since I figured I'd earned it and I could pay 831 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: for it outright, I took my boyfriend with me to 832 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,760 Speaker 1: the dealership, as you do as a couple. A salesman 833 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 1: approached us and the entire time from start to finish 834 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 1: kept talking to my boyfriend, even though I clearly introduced 835 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 1: myself and told him the car was for me and 836 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: that I would be paying for it outright. He was like, 837 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,720 Speaker 1: all right, honey, that's that's super sweet of you, but uh, 838 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 1: what does. 839 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 2: The man think about this car? 840 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: My boyfriend was off put by the whole thing, kept 841 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 1: preferring the salesman to me when he asked my boyfriend 842 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,360 Speaker 1: a question and even pointedly said at some point, I 843 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 1: don't know it's delicious cancels car. Asked her. The salesman 844 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: would look at me, I'd answered the next question, and 845 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: then back to the boyfriend. The only question I was 846 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 1: asked was a around color preference and leather versus fabric interior. 847 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: I was kind of fuming at this point. The final 848 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 1: straw was after the test drive, again this is a 849 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 1: car four op. The salesman gave the keys to the boyfriend. 850 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: I said that I really liked the guy, and he 851 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 1: turned to my boyfriend and said if he should get 852 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 1: the paperwork ready. I interjected and said I wanted to 853 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,760 Speaker 1: think about it. I had already decided on the car, 854 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,879 Speaker 1: but I didn't want the commission to go to him. 855 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,280 Speaker 1: My boyfriend could tell I was a bit upset about 856 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 1: this interaction and offered to go to another dealership with 857 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: me tomorrow or leave a review or something. So the 858 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: boyfriend's like, let's just furse him out over Google reviews. 859 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: So we left and came back the next morning. So 860 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 1: the same car dealership, a different salesperson greeted us, and 861 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: this one was much better, ridiculously charming, flattered me by 862 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: saying a hard working woman like me deserved a good 863 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,280 Speaker 1: car and all the flattery I was expecting when being 864 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 1: sold to, and then he asked for my number. 865 00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 2: About to say this is going to be I left 866 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,479 Speaker 2: my boyfriend for the car sales. 867 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,920 Speaker 1: I told him we'd driven the car yesterday and decided 868 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,759 Speaker 1: to buy it, and we did so no hassles. I 869 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 1: even managed to negotiate some extra since I told him 870 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: I was giving him a sale for very little effort 871 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: on his part. I was recounting this story to a 872 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 1: friend of mine yesterday who was in sales, but in 873 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 1: I t told me I was a bit of an 874 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 1: a hole because a previous salesman had done all the 875 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 1: work and I gave the sale to someone else when 876 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: I was wanting to buy the car anyway, The guy 877 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: with duxist, though, he said I should have asserted myself 878 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 1: a bit more on the spot and given the previous 879 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 1: salesman more of a chance rather than try to screw 880 00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,480 Speaker 1: him over behind his back, because now he'd never know 881 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: why he'd lost the sales. It's not her job to say, like, Yo, 882 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 1: you're being sexist and here's why, and let me let 883 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 1: me tell you about the BEG doll test really quick. 884 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:52,840 Speaker 2: Six a sack. 885 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: He also said that the sales job was tough and 886 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 1: maybe old habits die hard, or if I didn't want 887 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,399 Speaker 1: to buy from him, all I should have given him 888 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 1: a concrete reason so he could learn. I think my 889 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,880 Speaker 1: thing is it's twenty twenty and it's basic sales one 890 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,719 Speaker 1: oh one to speak to the person who holds the 891 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 1: purse strings and is not my job to teach a 892 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 1: salesperson anything. I just want to have a smooth experience 893 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,840 Speaker 1: buy a car. So am I the a hole for 894 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 1: going out of my way to not give a sale 895 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,640 Speaker 1: to what I believed was a sexist salesman. I want 896 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: to know what everyone thinks of the comments to be 897 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:24,719 Speaker 1: tapping the comments below, But John, what do you think? 898 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 2: Again? Not only is this guy being sexist. It's he's 899 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,040 Speaker 2: also being bad at his job. At the same time. 900 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: He's like, he's not being a good salesman. If someone 901 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 1: doesn't want to buy from you, you're not a good salesman. 902 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 1: What does a great salesperson do? 903 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 2: Knows who the person is and you know, works with 904 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 2: them to give them exactly what they need. Like that 905 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,800 Speaker 2: is like the definition of a great salesperson. This person's 906 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 2: the who can identify a man and only talk to 907 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 2: them exactly. That is not a great salesman. 908 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,480 Speaker 1: A grocery store, Karen called the cops because I took 909 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,760 Speaker 1: my service dog into the store, but then my dog 910 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,439 Speaker 1: scared her kid. Am I the a hole? The odd 911 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:03,319 Speaker 1: dat there? You traumatize my child more than me. I 912 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,280 Speaker 1: have an invisible disability and a service dog. 913 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 2: Wasn't it like something that you can't see? I turned invisible. 914 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 2: No one can see me. 915 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 1: She's a cardiac alert dog. I bring her everywhere and 916 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,280 Speaker 1: it has been such a big quality of life difference 917 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: for me. Yesterday I was in bulk Foods buying some 918 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,360 Speaker 1: supplies and brought my dog with me. While I was 919 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 1: buying candy, a girl nearby started to cry. Wee the 920 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,360 Speaker 1: mother walked over and started demanding that I leave the 921 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,959 Speaker 1: store immediately. I tried to tell her that my dog 922 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 1: was working and was not a pet. She wasn't having 923 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 1: any of it and didn't believe me because I was 924 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 1: too young to have a medical condition. 925 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 2: Too young for a medical condition. 926 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 1: She said that regardless of whether or not my dog 927 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 1: was an authentic working dog, her child had autism and 928 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,319 Speaker 1: was terrified. So I had to leave immediately and wait 929 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 1: until they were done shopping until I could come back inside. 930 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 1: Because you know, I refused and continued shopping. I simply 931 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,400 Speaker 1: went to another area of the store to get the 932 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,880 Speaker 1: rest of the stuff on my shopping list. The woman 933 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: had to bring her child and leave the store because 934 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 1: she was too scared. The entire time, she kept saying, 935 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,480 Speaker 1: I should be ashamed of myself for scaring a child 936 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,640 Speaker 1: and refusing to leave. And yes, my dog wears a 937 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,839 Speaker 1: harness with patches on it to clearly identify it as 938 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 1: a service dog and to have people not distract while 939 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:30,360 Speaker 1: she's working. 940 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 2: And there is an update. 941 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,319 Speaker 1: But John, gut check, what do you think is op 942 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 1: and a hole for scaring an autistic kid with her dog? 943 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 2: No, you're crazy, She set me up for failire there, buddy. No, no, no. 944 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 2: Jake believes that all dogs should be used to scare 945 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 2: artistic children. Yeah, no, I mean, like kil at the 946 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 2: end of the day, it's like two people have two needs, 947 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,799 Speaker 2: and it's like, unfortunately they are competing with each other. Unfortunately. 948 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,200 Speaker 2: It just is what it is. Maybe the mom could 949 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 2: have gone up and been like, hey, I know that 950 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,759 Speaker 2: this is a service dog, but my daughter is autistic. 951 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 2: If there's any way, like you know, we can kind 952 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:11,399 Speaker 2: of just. 953 00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 1: Like kill it. 954 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:17,719 Speaker 2: There's anyways your dog, you know, that's a lot more reasonable. 955 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,960 Speaker 2: Maybe even that's too much to the other side of 956 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 2: the store. Yeah, just go to just avoid it. 957 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,839 Speaker 1: But there is an update, John, Okay, okay, like chlamydia, 958 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 1: you're getting it again. 959 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 2: Yes, jokes. So I saw the Karen with her child again, 960 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,720 Speaker 2: by this time into Walmart while it was grocery shopping. 961 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,719 Speaker 2: So Karen has appeared once more. 962 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 1: Oh god, I made the mistake of ignoring my dog 963 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 1: when she was alerting to my heart rate. I genuinely 964 00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 1: thought she wanted the sandwich I was eating. Boy was 965 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,840 Speaker 1: I wrong. I ended up really dizzy and out of 966 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 1: breath and had to sit down in the corner of 967 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,840 Speaker 1: the store while she was doing deep pressure therapy. I 968 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:56,920 Speaker 1: must have been on the floor for about ten minutes. 969 00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 1: During this time, a staff member at Walmart came over 970 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:01,879 Speaker 1: to check on me and ask if I was all right. 971 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 1: They gave me a free bottle of water as well, 972 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: and I'm very appreciative of that. Anyways, while I was down, 973 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 1: the same child saw me again from a distance and 974 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,759 Speaker 1: had another meltdown. The child's mom already explained to me 975 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: last time that her daughter had autism. She was screaming 976 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,640 Speaker 1: and crying about my dog because she was terrified. I 977 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 1: can't understand why she would be scared because my dog 978 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 1: is by no means small. She is a one hundred 979 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 1: and fifteen pound female cane corso. Yeah, those dogs are 980 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 1: huge pounds as massive too. 981 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 2: It's a big boy. 982 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 1: That's our big dog. That's a big dog, dang. Aside 983 00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 1: from alert and response, she's also trained for mobility assistance. 984 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,480 Speaker 1: Her breed isn't typically used as a service dog, but 985 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,759 Speaker 1: she was a natural. I got her as a pet 986 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,399 Speaker 1: dog and she became the service dog I needed. She's 987 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,279 Speaker 1: one hundred percent good girl. This woman did not leave 988 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,360 Speaker 1: the store with her child that was having a meltdown. Instead, 989 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,520 Speaker 1: she had the audacity to call nine to one one 990 00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:00,719 Speaker 1: on me. Eventually, the cops show up, and she kept 991 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,799 Speaker 1: shouting that I was faking having a disability because I 992 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,799 Speaker 1: was too young to actually be disabled, that it was 993 00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,360 Speaker 1: illegal for me to have my service dog anywhere near food, 994 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 1: and that people like me are the reasons she has 995 00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:18,840 Speaker 1: to suffer lockdowns. I'm Asian, yi oh, she said. The 996 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,520 Speaker 1: least I could do is be considerate and stay home, 997 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,560 Speaker 1: away from everyone, and keep my dog at home where 998 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 1: it belongs. My dog was very clearly vested with tags 999 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,240 Speaker 1: and says service dog. I showed the cops my medical 1000 00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 1: note that I carry, stating I require a service dog. 1001 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 1: In the end, the manager and the woman from coming 1002 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:37,879 Speaker 1: to the local Walmart for a year. 1003 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:38,600 Speaker 2: Woo. 1004 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,280 Speaker 1: Cops only gave her a warning for wasting their time 1005 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 1: and escorted her off the property. Bro, So do you 1006 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 1: think op is the a hole for letting her dog 1007 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:49,360 Speaker 1: loose on autistic children? 1008 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 2: Again with the seff, Opie is not the a hole 1009 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 2: at all. The shocking audacity of this Karen, this lady 1010 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 2: is like so beyond crazy. She's just I feel like this, 1011 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:06,880 Speaker 2: Like Karen's like these are just looking for reasons, Like again, 1012 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,960 Speaker 2: she kept her daughter close to the dog. After the 1013 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:12,120 Speaker 2: daughter's freaking. 1014 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 1: Out, Remove the daughter from the situation, the situation. 1015 00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,560 Speaker 2: Take her outside, Like I get it's like inconvenient, but 1016 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,880 Speaker 2: leave her there. I get it's inconvenient, but it's like, 1017 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 2: what can you do? Like Walmart's big, Walmart is huge, 1018 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 2: Go to another area, go to. 1019 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,320 Speaker 1: The blind give your kid an iPad. 1020 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,080 Speaker 2: Honestly, iPad is not a bad idea at all, Like 1021 00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:34,399 Speaker 2: that could that could work? 1022 00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 1: Why not a blindfold? 1023 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,239 Speaker 2: Something about removing vision from my child doesn't seem like 1024 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:40,080 Speaker 2: the most optimal. 1025 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,839 Speaker 1: Rather, have them have a meltdown. He probably barely has 1026 00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:44,840 Speaker 1: object permanence. 1027 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:50,080 Speaker 2: Just delete it from the Walmart is literally a warehouse 1028 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 2: you can so easily find go blindfold. There have so 1029 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:58,799 Speaker 2: many options. My coworker kidnapped a kid, but now she's 1030 00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,719 Speaker 2: changing her mind. She wants to kick him to the streets. 1031 00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 2: I'm calling the cops. Am I the ahole. My coworker 1032 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,400 Speaker 2: is kind of a weirdo. I will call her Mary 1033 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,440 Speaker 2: for the sake of this post. Her and her husband 1034 00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,560 Speaker 2: are one of those people that have a ton of 1035 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,560 Speaker 2: adopted kids, eight so far. 1036 00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,719 Speaker 1: That's crazy. Is that like one of those like hack 1037 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,560 Speaker 1: schemes where you get money because you adopt more kids, 1038 00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,520 Speaker 1: and like, are they trying to gain the system. 1039 00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,520 Speaker 2: And they're super religious to each his own. Mary enjoys 1040 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,280 Speaker 2: telling everyone at work her business, so when she decided 1041 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,719 Speaker 2: to adopt a kid from Ukraine, everybody heard about it. 1042 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,360 Speaker 2: She went with an older kid because it was easier 1043 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,440 Speaker 2: for her and her husband. She says, this was two 1044 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,400 Speaker 2: years ago. Mary has always asked me to babysit the 1045 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,840 Speaker 2: boy a couple of times. I'll call him Tony, and 1046 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,719 Speaker 2: it's never been a problem because I like kids. I 1047 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:48,680 Speaker 2: didn't see any glaring problems despite Mary's constant dramatics about 1048 00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,279 Speaker 2: how awful the kid was, and he seems to like 1049 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 2: being over. It's just me and my boyfriend here, and 1050 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 2: our place is small, but clean and really well kept. 1051 00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:59,839 Speaker 2: Mary's house is disgusting for lack of a better word. 1052 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't imagine eight kids just run in 1053 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 1: a while. 1054 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,120 Speaker 2: Lately, Mary has been at work talking to anyone that'll 1055 00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,239 Speaker 2: listen about how awful Tony is, how horrible he is 1056 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,120 Speaker 2: to the other kids, and how she going to get 1057 00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,240 Speaker 2: rid of him, Like that's gotta be traumatic. 1058 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:15,719 Speaker 1: For the kids. 1059 00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:19,360 Speaker 2: Oh for sure? Like oh. She sent out a freaking 1060 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:23,840 Speaker 2: mass email to everyone in our department asking if someone 1061 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,120 Speaker 2: wanted to take her kid from her bro She calls 1062 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:31,200 Speaker 2: it rehoming and that it's okay. I logged onto Facebook 1063 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,840 Speaker 2: today and same story. She has pics of Tony posted 1064 00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:38,840 Speaker 2: on her timeline advertising him for readoption and to contact 1065 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,080 Speaker 2: her if interested. You know this sounds like a dog 1066 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,160 Speaker 2: your pictures of this kid? Do you want to adopt? 1067 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,280 Speaker 2: I haven't replied to her email yet, and I haven't 1068 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,240 Speaker 2: commented on her post, but I'm this close to ripping 1069 00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,720 Speaker 2: into her for what she's doing. She's crossed the line 1070 00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:57,120 Speaker 2: from weird into full blown cycle? Should I call CPS? 1071 00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:00,000 Speaker 2: I called the police just now, but they sounded complete 1072 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,560 Speaker 2: letely confused on what to do. They agreed to do 1073 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,359 Speaker 2: a welfare check. This post is still up. Is this 1074 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,560 Speaker 2: really legal? I don't know much about adoption and a 1075 00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:12,799 Speaker 2: quick search for rehoming gets leep, mostly your results about animals. 1076 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,880 Speaker 2: Any advice? Is there an update? There is an update. 1077 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,680 Speaker 2: I got personal messages from people that worked for local 1078 00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 2: and state governments and private agencies that were outside of 1079 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,120 Speaker 2: my state, but offered their contact Rdnick coming and clutch, guys, 1080 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,160 Speaker 2: here we go, let's go. I had people that spoke 1081 00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:31,080 Speaker 2: Russian and Ukrainian offering to help me contact through Ukrainian 1082 00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:35,120 Speaker 2: embassy and offered me contact information for embassy departments. People 1083 00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,560 Speaker 2: even contacted us offering money for Tony's immediate needs in 1084 00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,760 Speaker 2: the event we decided to take him in no way. 1085 00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,239 Speaker 2: I am sincerely touched by the genuine concern all of 1086 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,440 Speaker 2: you had for Tony and his siblings. I hope one 1087 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 2: day I can tell Tony that despite everything that's happened, 1088 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,399 Speaker 2: there's people out there like you guys, that care about him. 1089 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,240 Speaker 2: The information you guys gave us helped us act fast 1090 00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 2: and got the ball rolling on the situation faster than 1091 00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 2: me and my boyfriend would have figured out alone. I 1092 00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,600 Speaker 2: talked with the cops about the situation, and honestly, they 1093 00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 2: were just as confused as I was. The person I 1094 00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,279 Speaker 2: talked to on the phone was just as stumped, but 1095 00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,640 Speaker 2: he agreed that at a minimum, they did need to 1096 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:14,040 Speaker 2: do a welfare check. I've had experiences with welfare checks before, 1097 00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,600 Speaker 2: and I had the nagging feeling that something just wouldn't 1098 00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:21,200 Speaker 2: go right. Oh no, and someone personal messaged me the 1099 00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:25,319 Speaker 2: priority line for my state's Child Perspective Services hotline. I 1100 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:27,719 Speaker 2: got someone on the phone right away, and as soon 1101 00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:31,120 Speaker 2: as I mentioned that trafficking could be going on and 1102 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,960 Speaker 2: that she advertised the kid on Facebook, it was a 1103 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:38,000 Speaker 2: public post here too, people they acted with a quickness. 1104 00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,280 Speaker 2: I gave him all the information I had on Mary 1105 00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,160 Speaker 2: and Tony and all the information I had from Mary 1106 00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 2: about Tony's adoption. The person I spoke to right away 1107 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,960 Speaker 2: said that she suspected that the adoption might not even 1108 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:54,600 Speaker 2: be legal. I was floored. I emailed all the screenshots 1109 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:56,880 Speaker 2: I had to the person I spoke with and asked 1110 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,080 Speaker 2: for a follow up if that was at all possible. 1111 00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 2: I said that myself my boyfriend were willing to take 1112 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,960 Speaker 2: Tony on a temporary basis if necessary, but the CPS 1113 00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:10,000 Speaker 2: representative said that likely wasn't possible. Then the waiting game began. 1114 00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,240 Speaker 2: Last night was probably the most stressful night I've ever had. 1115 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,440 Speaker 2: At one point I was ready to drive out to 1116 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,680 Speaker 2: Mary's house myself, but was stopped by my boyfriend. It 1117 00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,960 Speaker 2: was tough. The cops followed up with us at approximately 1118 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,799 Speaker 2: two am. Note that I hadn't heard from CPS. The 1119 00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:28,080 Speaker 2: officer I spoke with was very cautious and limited in 1120 00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,920 Speaker 2: what he said, but he told me that CPS arrived 1121 00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,360 Speaker 2: at the home shortly after he did. In not so 1122 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,400 Speaker 2: many words, he implied that Mary had been talking with 1123 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:41,080 Speaker 2: someone about meeting Tony the very next day, and CPS's 1124 00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:46,920 Speaker 2: suspicions were confirmed. Tony's adoption was not legal. Tony was 1125 00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:50,640 Speaker 2: rehomed to Mary and her husband from another state where 1126 00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,640 Speaker 2: placement needs to be approved by a judge. 1127 00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:55,319 Speaker 1: That are like kicking the can down the road. 1128 00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,800 Speaker 2: He didn't elaborate further except to say that other issues 1129 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 2: came to light and all all of the children were 1130 00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:05,480 Speaker 2: removed from the home for their own safety by CPS. Wow. 1131 00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 2: He didn't say how long they were there, but said 1132 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,319 Speaker 2: it wasn't a long time quote unquote. I was asked 1133 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,480 Speaker 2: to drop off all emails and print outs to the 1134 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,960 Speaker 2: station in the morning, and I agreed. My boyfriend and 1135 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,880 Speaker 2: I wanted to make doubly sure that all of the 1136 00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,960 Speaker 2: cases were checked, so I called our local FBI office, 1137 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:25,160 Speaker 2: who said they lacked jurisdiction in that matter, but would 1138 00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,640 Speaker 2: be writing up a complaint and referencing the issue to 1139 00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,759 Speaker 2: the state department. We called the Ukrainian embassy and made 1140 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:34,000 Speaker 2: a detailed complaint, and I included the contact information I 1141 00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:37,440 Speaker 2: had for the office from the apartment. Really hit the 1142 00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,160 Speaker 2: fan when I went into work to print out the email. 1143 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,879 Speaker 2: Our company is pretty small and the company owner, I'll 1144 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 2: call her Big Ang because of her resemblance to the 1145 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:50,360 Speaker 2: mob wives lady, had gotten wind of Mary's email. Big 1146 00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:54,879 Speaker 2: Ang was furious and waiting at Mary's desk to see 1147 00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,000 Speaker 2: if she would show up for work. My friend reported 1148 00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 2: that big Ang waited from seven to fifteen to nine 1149 00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,960 Speaker 2: thirty and that Mary came to work with a sob 1150 00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:08,240 Speaker 2: story about how her kids were being unfairly taken away. 1151 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,640 Speaker 2: Oh Man, Mary wanted time off from work to quote 1152 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,840 Speaker 2: unquote clear her name and quote unquote devote herself to 1153 00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 2: reclaiming her family from this misunderstanding. I wasn't there to 1154 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,759 Speaker 2: witness this, but Big Ange, who has six kids herself, 1155 00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:26,160 Speaker 2: apparently ripped Mary a new toll. Mary has been dismissed, 1156 00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,759 Speaker 2: and rumor has it that Big Ange may or may 1157 00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,120 Speaker 2: not allow her to claim unemployment. 1158 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,000 Speaker 1: Wow, Big Anne, just bring it down the hammer. 1159 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,040 Speaker 2: My head is honestly still spinning from everything that has 1160 00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:40,200 Speaker 2: happened the past twenty four hours. Have been insanity. I'm 1161 00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:43,200 Speaker 2: so grateful that the system worked as quickly as it did. 1162 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,080 Speaker 2: I only hope it works out a long term solution 1163 00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:49,320 Speaker 2: to this problem and that Mary doesn't get to reclaim 1164 00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,799 Speaker 2: her kids. My heart is breaking for Tony and the 1165 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,600 Speaker 2: other kids right now. I don't know what the f 1166 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,719 Speaker 2: was happening in Mary's house that made CPS remove them 1167 00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,360 Speaker 2: that night, but I'm going to sleep better no that 1168 00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,399 Speaker 2: they aren't with Psycho Mary and her. 1169 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 1: Husband, at least for a while. 1170 00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,560 Speaker 2: What the future holds for Tony and the other kids, 1171 00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:12,000 Speaker 2: especially because Tony's adoption was apparently illegal, makes me sick, 1172 00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:14,520 Speaker 2: but I'm going to wish for the best. I need 1173 00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:15,880 Speaker 2: a damn droll. 1174 00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:19,040 Speaker 1: That is crazy, dude, It's crazy. 1175 00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:20,879 Speaker 2: I feel like it was the right move because it's 1176 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,480 Speaker 2: like the consequences of not doing that, I feel like 1177 00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:24,880 Speaker 2: are too higher, Like the risk. 1178 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,160 Speaker 1: Is too mean. These are children, These are Innocentatically. 1179 00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,640 Speaker 2: I told my coworker what an idiot she is for 1180 00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:33,399 Speaker 2: her horrible baby names. I'm just a brutally honest guy, 1181 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:34,359 Speaker 2: am I There? 1182 00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,680 Speaker 1: You know what they say what honesty without empathy is cruelty. 1183 00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,160 Speaker 2: I heard that honesty is the best policy that's what 1184 00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:41,680 Speaker 2: I've heard. 1185 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you're gonna be honest, you're probably also 1186 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:45,520 Speaker 1: gonna be an apple. 1187 00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,560 Speaker 2: I cannot believe that there's a split opinion for this 1188 00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,760 Speaker 2: at my office, but here we go. A coworker of mine, 1189 00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:55,240 Speaker 2: thirty nine female, recently had twin boys after a long 1190 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,399 Speaker 2: battle with infertility. She has made her first appearance into 1191 00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:01,000 Speaker 2: the office with her new babies to introduce them to 1192 00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:01,479 Speaker 2: our team. 1193 00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:03,839 Speaker 1: That's the infertility jackpot right there. 1194 00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,960 Speaker 2: When people asked what she named the boys as up 1195 00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,040 Speaker 2: until this appearance, she was undecided. 1196 00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:13,440 Speaker 1: She told me that she was naming them Sean. Okay, 1197 00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,560 Speaker 1: that sounds normal, terrible. 1198 00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,640 Speaker 2: Name, How dare you? So? When I asked about the 1199 00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:23,360 Speaker 2: other baby, she said, no, they're both Sean, one with 1200 00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:27,080 Speaker 2: an A and one with an E. So there's s 1201 00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:30,760 Speaker 2: E A N and s e e N s e 1202 00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:36,520 Speaker 2: e N that is Scene. It's Sean. That is Sean. 1203 00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,560 Speaker 2: You were just named your kid Sean and Scene. The 1204 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:46,080 Speaker 2: coworker's last name is also Sean. So when I pointed 1205 00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:50,800 Speaker 2: this out, she said, yes, it's like Tom, Tom or JJ. 1206 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,479 Speaker 2: I immediately and without thinking, said, that is the most 1207 00:57:54,600 --> 00:58:01,080 Speaker 2: idiotic thing I've heard. Is going to be confusing. Oh god. 1208 00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,040 Speaker 2: A bunch of people laughed and a bunch of people 1209 00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,880 Speaker 2: looked away. After she left, I got a few text 1210 00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:11,040 Speaker 2: messages saying it's not my place to comment on people's 1211 00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,360 Speaker 2: choice of name. Am I the a hole for saying 1212 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:17,480 Speaker 2: that is a terrible naming idea? And some additional information. No, 1213 00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,240 Speaker 2: they don't have middle names. She wanted their names to 1214 00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:25,280 Speaker 2: be like Tom, Tom or JJ. This apparently is not 1215 00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:29,600 Speaker 2: the first round of negative feedback she has had. Oh yeah, 1216 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,840 Speaker 2: we're on good terms. We have worked together across three 1217 00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:37,040 Speaker 2: companies over twelve years, and she said it'll grow on you. 1218 00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 2: The names are both pronounced sean, like Sean saha w n. 1219 00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:45,720 Speaker 2: There's a decent actually a man of meat left on it, 1220 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,640 Speaker 2: some meat on the bones. Everyone watching Sam right here 1221 00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:54,520 Speaker 2: is or is not? I mean, it's definitely a dumb name. 1222 00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:58,200 Speaker 2: I mean, that's a dumbest question that someone tells you 1223 00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,840 Speaker 2: your baby name and you think it's them as a brick? 1224 00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,880 Speaker 2: Do you them to their face? My coworker's husband, who 1225 00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:08,400 Speaker 2: was also a coworker, saw the post last night. Uh uh. 1226 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,400 Speaker 2: They had a good chuckle and ended up agreeing with 1227 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,720 Speaker 2: the replies that the naming process wasn't ideal, and maybe 1228 00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:19,120 Speaker 2: the overwhelming process of having two newborns left them too 1229 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,840 Speaker 2: tired to think straight. Despite the fact that they had 1230 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,960 Speaker 2: already sent off the paperwork to Births, Deaths and Marriages 1231 00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,040 Speaker 2: Office the place you lodge birthts for in Australia they 1232 00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,760 Speaker 2: called it the Brisbane Office, and the paperwork had only 1233 00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:35,040 Speaker 2: been provisionally processed due to Christmas time, and they have 1234 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:39,040 Speaker 2: used this time to reassess. They have withdrawn the paperwork 1235 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:46,320 Speaker 2: for seen only the see en so still and they'll 1236 00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,800 Speaker 2: think of a new name, but they are keeping Sean 1237 00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,640 Speaker 2: Sean as they like it. Have also been reported to 1238 00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,680 Speaker 2: HR for making this Reddit post, not by the parents. 1239 00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,680 Speaker 2: They think it's hilarious, so well, well if it isn't 1240 00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:00,960 Speaker 2: the consequences of my actions. They also everyone to note 1241 01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,880 Speaker 2: that calling her an idiot wasn't the worst thing I've 1242 01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,160 Speaker 2: said to her this year, and while I'm definitely an 1243 01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,680 Speaker 2: a hole, that it's more of a general thing than 1244 01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:12,040 Speaker 2: being tied to this situation. Happy holidays everyone, and there 1245 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,240 Speaker 2: is a final update. 1246 01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:15,680 Speaker 1: All right, let's blaze through it. 1247 01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:17,520 Speaker 2: A lot of people want an update post on my 1248 01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,240 Speaker 2: meeting with HR for whatever reason, so here it is, 1249 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,560 Speaker 2: but as expected, it was underwhelming. I met with HR yesterday. 1250 01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:26,200 Speaker 2: The meeting was pretty brief and definitely a waste of 1251 01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,280 Speaker 2: everyone's time. They asked if I was aware of the 1252 01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:31,000 Speaker 2: company's social media policy. I said I was. I'm fairly 1253 01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,920 Speaker 2: confident that I hadn't breached it. They agreed I hadn't 1254 01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:36,200 Speaker 2: and asked me to be more considerate of my coworkers 1255 01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,280 Speaker 2: feelings and to not push this meeting all over the internet. 1256 01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:40,360 Speaker 2: What are we doing here? 1257 01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:41,960 Speaker 1: OK, they have your post. 1258 01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,840 Speaker 2: I said, I'll definitely be doing an update and that 1259 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,720 Speaker 2: I'll be sure not to call the person naming their 1260 01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:51,520 Speaker 2: child seene Sean an idiot. Again, I work in banking, 1261 01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,040 Speaker 2: and while there is a long way to go to 1262 01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:56,120 Speaker 2: fixing the culture across the entire banking organization, I think 1263 01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 2: HR was just doing their thing and making sure I'm 1264 01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:01,440 Speaker 2: on notice in case I don't know. I take a 1265 01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,080 Speaker 2: photo of me stealing candy from a baby while wearing 1266 01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,560 Speaker 2: the company logo or something like that. 1267 01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:11,600 Speaker 1: Well, that was quite the adventure. It was quite the adventure. 1268 01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,840 Speaker 1: But I think someone I want to know from everyone 1269 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:15,640 Speaker 1: else is one is op the a hole. I think 1270 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:17,640 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit, maybe a little bit but two, 1271 01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:21,640 Speaker 1: what are the worst baby names that you've heard? Put 1272 01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:25,880 Speaker 1: your answers in the comments below. They gave their baby. 1273 01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,560 Speaker 2: A dumb name, so I just pointed out how stupid 1274 01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,360 Speaker 2: and dumb dum baby name is am I the a hole. 1275 01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,800 Speaker 1: I have a tradition of making tooth fairy pillows for 1276 01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 1: my friends and family. When someone is pregnant, I embroider 1277 01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:41,760 Speaker 1: a fancy crest on it with the child's initials in 1278 01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,360 Speaker 1: the center. One of my cousins announced she and her 1279 01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:47,600 Speaker 1: husband were pregnant and that's it online, and of course 1280 01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:50,560 Speaker 1: I was excited for her. I messaged her and asked 1281 01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,160 Speaker 1: if she wanted me to make a pillow for her baby, 1282 01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:56,200 Speaker 1: and she said yes, okay. I told her I could 1283 01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:59,280 Speaker 1: make it now or wait until the baby is born 1284 01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:00,920 Speaker 1: and make it that and I always give people the 1285 01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,880 Speaker 1: option to keep the name a surprise. She wanted me 1286 01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:05,680 Speaker 1: to make it now so that she could show her 1287 01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:07,840 Speaker 1: in laws, as the baby name was going to have 1288 01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:14,280 Speaker 1: significance to her husband's family. Ooh, building, well, this is 1289 01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,840 Speaker 1: where it gets awkward. She told me the name, and 1290 01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:21,000 Speaker 1: it's a lovely name. However, the first name starts with 1291 01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:24,760 Speaker 1: an A. Okay, the middle name starts with an s. Ooh, 1292 01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 1: and their last name starts with an S. I asked 1293 01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:31,360 Speaker 1: her if she really wanted me to embroider that on 1294 01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:35,280 Speaker 1: a pillow. She video called me at that moment, laughing hysterically, 1295 01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,480 Speaker 1: saying she didn't even realize, and that she was going 1296 01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:40,680 Speaker 1: to have a talk to her husband about it and 1297 01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:41,320 Speaker 1: hold off. 1298 01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:44,520 Speaker 2: I go about my business thinking, whew, bullet dodge for 1299 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:45,040 Speaker 2: that kid. 1300 01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:47,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then she and her husband would get a 1301 01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:51,520 Speaker 1: good laugh about their almost mistake. Nope. A couple hours later, 1302 01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:54,919 Speaker 1: her husband called me and laid into me about how 1303 01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,800 Speaker 1: the name chosen was special and I was trying to 1304 01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:01,000 Speaker 1: turn it crass and make two and now jokes out 1305 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,280 Speaker 1: of something that was so meaningful to his family. 1306 01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,720 Speaker 2: You joked on yourself, buddy. 1307 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,320 Speaker 1: You literally name your kids, he said a lot. That 1308 01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:10,480 Speaker 1: was the gest of it. He told me I was, 1309 01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:14,360 Speaker 1: and that he didn't want my stupid pillow and told 1310 01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:17,040 Speaker 1: me to stay away from his family, as clearly I 1311 01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:19,360 Speaker 1: had no respect for them. I honestly didn't realize it 1312 01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:21,000 Speaker 1: would be that big of a problem. I just didn't 1313 01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:24,040 Speaker 1: want to embroider profanity on a pillow, not for a 1314 01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:27,040 Speaker 1: baby anyway. His reaction has me wondering if maybe my 1315 01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,280 Speaker 1: mind is in the gutter and I'm the only one 1316 01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:31,880 Speaker 1: who has a problem with it. So am I the 1317 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,880 Speaker 1: a hole? There is an update, But John, what do 1318 01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:35,240 Speaker 1: you think? 1319 01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:37,480 Speaker 2: I love how we're asking if he's the asshole for 1320 01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:41,080 Speaker 2: writing apps? That's so great meta. He was basically like, Hey, 1321 01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:42,840 Speaker 2: are you just want to know what you want me 1322 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:44,400 Speaker 2: to put out? Do you want me to put this 1323 01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:45,960 Speaker 2: on the pillow? I think that's fine. 1324 01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:48,320 Speaker 1: Before I can decide what to do, my cousin and 1325 01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:51,600 Speaker 1: her husband called for all of you calling him and act. Well, 1326 01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:54,600 Speaker 1: you were right. He is an act too. The third 1327 01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:59,919 Speaker 1: to bed, Hey, they're all asked. He always went by middle, 1328 01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:02,360 Speaker 1: so I didn't know. He's getting in a lot of 1329 01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:05,120 Speaker 1: pressure from his parents to carry on the family tradition 1330 01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,720 Speaker 1: for his unborn son. He apparently was also bullied a 1331 01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:11,960 Speaker 1: lot in school for his initials. He was actually really 1332 01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,080 Speaker 1: sorry for going off of me. I guess my cousin 1333 01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,160 Speaker 1: called him laughing about it, and he didn't want to 1334 01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,800 Speaker 1: get mad at her, so he redirected to me. The 1335 01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:22,200 Speaker 1: messenger drab broke the Campbell's back kind of situation. He 1336 01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,280 Speaker 1: admitted he's got some issues to work through, but he 1337 01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,880 Speaker 1: gave me a proper and I feel sincere apology, and 1338 01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,640 Speaker 1: my cousin has promised me some of my favorite chocolate 1339 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:32,600 Speaker 1: is on the way to my house as we speak. 1340 01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:36,160 Speaker 1: I'm relieved because I didn't want family functions to become awkward, 1341 01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:38,200 Speaker 1: nor did either of us want the wrath of our 1342 01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:41,560 Speaker 1: grandma to befall cousin's husband. They've been discussing it, and 1343 01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:44,040 Speaker 1: they're going to go with the name they actually like 1344 01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:48,200 Speaker 1: rather than making their son in. They did as nicely 1345 01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:51,080 Speaker 1: if I would still make a pillow, but after the 1346 01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:54,600 Speaker 1: kiddo was born, so his dad won't have pre warning. 1347 01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:58,040 Speaker 1: The kiddo won't be an act also, and they have 1348 01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:00,240 Speaker 1: the whole name to figure out again too. I will 1349 01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 1: make them the pillow after the chocolate arrives. 1350 01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:08,960 Speaker 2: It really did. I mean the fact you know it was. 1351 01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:11,360 Speaker 2: It was a trauma of being a being a man. 1352 01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:15,480 Speaker 2: He just you know you couldn't help but unleash upono Peah. 1353 01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:19,400 Speaker 2: You know he's still figuring out his identity. That's exactly 1354 01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:23,400 Speaker 2: My ex has a restraining order against me, and watch 1355 01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,520 Speaker 2: to a vict me from my home. I don't care 1356 01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:26,320 Speaker 2: about the law. 1357 01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:28,280 Speaker 1: I'm not leaving. Am I the a hole? 1358 01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:33,040 Speaker 2: Dang? When you've got a whole restraining order against somebody. 1359 01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:36,240 Speaker 1: Don't restrain yourself, don't stop keep going. My ex wife 1360 01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:40,560 Speaker 1: and I had a rocky marriage, and my alcoholism didn't help. 1361 01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:42,320 Speaker 1: There We go all right, oh pee, Well, at least 1362 01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:45,320 Speaker 1: you could admit to stuff. She pushed for a divorce. 1363 01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:47,960 Speaker 1: We lived together during the divorce, and one day I 1364 01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:51,440 Speaker 1: found out she was dating another man. I snapped and 1365 01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,520 Speaker 1: hit her pretty hard. I was charged with assault, spent 1366 01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,640 Speaker 1: three months in jail, went to anger management, and I 1367 01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:02,560 Speaker 1: was also issued a three year which probably honestly good. Yeah, 1368 01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:05,360 Speaker 1: this was two years ago. I've since sobered up, met 1369 01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,440 Speaker 1: a wonderful woman, and moved to a completely different apartment 1370 01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,440 Speaker 1: complex in a completely different part of the city, and 1371 01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:15,000 Speaker 1: have never had any further contact with my ex wife. 1372 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,760 Speaker 1: I admit what I did was wrong. I paid the price. 1373 01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,760 Speaker 1: I've since re established myself. My current woman, who have 1374 01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,520 Speaker 1: been in relationship for two years, is aware of this 1375 01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:27,400 Speaker 1: background story, which makes things slightly easier. Well. Unknown to me, 1376 01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 1: my ex moved into my apartment complex about five months 1377 01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:34,760 Speaker 1: ago with her now new husband, who had always lived here. 1378 01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:35,720 Speaker 1: I just didn't know this. 1379 01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:36,320 Speaker 2: Wow. 1380 01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:39,040 Speaker 1: I saw her in the lobby just before New Year's 1381 01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:42,200 Speaker 1: she greeted me. I turned shocked and said hello. She 1382 01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:44,600 Speaker 1: asked me what I was doing in the lobby. I 1383 01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,120 Speaker 1: said I was just coming in from work, and she 1384 01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:50,200 Speaker 1: told me the restraining order is still in effect and 1385 01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:51,320 Speaker 1: that I need to move out. 1386 01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:54,640 Speaker 2: Wow. I can't imagine that is legal. 1387 01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:55,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. 1388 01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:55,760 Speaker 2: We'll see, We'll see. 1389 01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:58,439 Speaker 1: I tried to reason with her and told her I'd 1390 01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:00,560 Speaker 1: be happy to steer clear of her. I know we 1391 01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:02,400 Speaker 1: don't live on the same floor. I don't even know 1392 01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:04,200 Speaker 1: what floor she lives on. I don't care to know. 1393 01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:06,400 Speaker 1: I told her, if I saw her in an elevator, 1394 01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:08,240 Speaker 1: I wouldn't get in and just wait for the next one. 1395 01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:11,160 Speaker 1: She told me she was going to enforce the restraining 1396 01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:14,240 Speaker 1: order against me. My partner and I literally signed a 1397 01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:17,600 Speaker 1: brand new two year lease six months ago. We love 1398 01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,000 Speaker 1: the place we live in and wouldn't want to move, 1399 01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:23,240 Speaker 1: and it feels unjust having to move slashing curve financial 1400 01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,320 Speaker 1: hardship because the person I had a restraining order against 1401 01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,600 Speaker 1: moved into my apartment complex. The reason why I'm bringing 1402 01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,160 Speaker 1: this up is because last night the building manager was 1403 01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:34,640 Speaker 1: informed of the restraining order and told us if we 1404 01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:36,959 Speaker 1: need to figure this out. So the question is, would 1405 01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:38,800 Speaker 1: she really be able to force me out of my 1406 01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:41,160 Speaker 1: home even though I lived here before her? As long 1407 01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:43,480 Speaker 1: as I do my best to avoid any contact with her, 1408 01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,600 Speaker 1: which I'm perfectly fine doing, shouldn't that be sufficient. I 1409 01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:49,520 Speaker 1: work a really early schedule, and I learned of the 1410 01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:52,520 Speaker 1: fact that she has been dating this guy and coming 1411 01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,760 Speaker 1: over to this apartment complex for the entire time I've 1412 01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,520 Speaker 1: been here. We just recently have crossed paths. She's been 1413 01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:01,760 Speaker 1: living here full time for the past five months. I'm 1414 01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:05,040 Speaker 1: not sure what to do. FYI, this is New York City. 1415 01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:06,360 Speaker 1: I mean, John, what do you think. 1416 01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:09,240 Speaker 2: It could get? Very very dicey if that's all true? 1417 01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:13,400 Speaker 2: That it seems like probably a reasonable situation, and that 1418 01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:16,680 Speaker 2: I would guess you would go to a court and 1419 01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,800 Speaker 2: like basically like state your case of like, hey, like 1420 01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:20,960 Speaker 2: basically everything you just said. 1421 01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:23,120 Speaker 1: I feel like she has every right to enforce the 1422 01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:26,760 Speaker 1: restraining order, especially with that additional context. But John, there 1423 01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:29,439 Speaker 1: is an update. Okay, Well, let's see, the public defender 1424 01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:31,800 Speaker 1: that represented me was no longer practicing in the New 1425 01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:34,120 Speaker 1: York City area, but I retained a lawyer who was 1426 01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:36,719 Speaker 1: a friend of a friend who has experience in this area. 1427 01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:40,320 Speaker 1: My lawyer got references from my parole officer, employer, and 1428 01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:43,519 Speaker 1: AA sponsor. Our goal was to get the restraining order 1429 01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:47,519 Speaker 1: modified to a simple no contact order with no distance 1430 01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:50,160 Speaker 1: requirements so I could continue living with my partner. I 1431 01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:52,479 Speaker 1: spoke to the judge, told in my story and what 1432 01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:55,719 Speaker 1: I had done to correct my past transgressions. He reviewed 1433 01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:59,559 Speaker 1: my record and we submitted our references. During this time period, 1434 01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:01,800 Speaker 1: I was ashing on a friend's couch as to not 1435 01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:03,400 Speaker 1: violate my protective order. 1436 01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:04,960 Speaker 2: The parole officer said. 1437 01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,160 Speaker 1: I had to pay my fines, followed all the rules 1438 01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:09,560 Speaker 1: and never once had to remind me of my restrictions 1439 01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:12,360 Speaker 1: and so forth, and said he was impressed with my turnaround. 1440 01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:14,479 Speaker 1: So the parole officers saying like basically everything that op 1441 01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:17,040 Speaker 1: he did was good on his side, essentially, my employer 1442 01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:19,320 Speaker 1: said that I was always early, never seemed to be 1443 01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:23,080 Speaker 1: under the influence or a hangover from anything, and even 1444 01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,120 Speaker 1: at our company functions, was very open and honest about 1445 01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:29,720 Speaker 1: my sobriety and didn't partake in drinking. My AA sponsor 1446 01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:31,920 Speaker 1: said good things about me too, how he was impressed 1447 01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:35,200 Speaker 1: with my maturity and openness on my alcoholism and addiction. 1448 01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:38,719 Speaker 1: The judge asked my ex wife to speak. My ex 1449 01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:41,320 Speaker 1: wife said she was shocked by my turnaround. She said 1450 01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,880 Speaker 1: that it seemed unfair to her to require me to 1451 01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:46,840 Speaker 1: move because she moved into my building unknowingly, and that 1452 01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:49,120 Speaker 1: she no longer felt threatened by me. This was a 1453 01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:51,720 Speaker 1: shock to both my lawyer and I, as I expected 1454 01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:54,160 Speaker 1: my ex to want to keep the protective order in place. 1455 01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:57,800 Speaker 1: The judge said that he wouldn't modify the productive order, 1456 01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:01,120 Speaker 1: but in fact lifted entirely as he felt it had 1457 01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:04,720 Speaker 1: served its purpose and that based on my references, my testimony, 1458 01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,479 Speaker 1: and most importantly the testimony of my ex, that he 1459 01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:11,240 Speaker 1: didn't see how keeping it in place was benefiting anyone anymore. 1460 01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:13,280 Speaker 1: He did tell my ex that if she ever felt 1461 01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:16,320 Speaker 1: threatened or in danger because of something I said or did, 1462 01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:18,960 Speaker 1: she could contact the police. The judge then told me 1463 01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,360 Speaker 1: his main reason for lifting the order was to allow 1464 01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:24,000 Speaker 1: me to live in my current apartment, but advised that 1465 01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,240 Speaker 1: it was a good idea to avoid contact with my 1466 01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:29,600 Speaker 1: ex to avoid potential complications down the road. He reminded me, 1467 01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:32,240 Speaker 1: because of my past, it wouldn't take much to get 1468 01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:34,880 Speaker 1: another protective order in place. I told the judge I 1469 01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:37,840 Speaker 1: had no intention of talking slash contacting my ex, and 1470 01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,120 Speaker 1: I was thrilled that I don't have to move and 1471 01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:42,880 Speaker 1: get to stay with my current girlfriend. So over the 1472 01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,240 Speaker 1: course of this weekend, I moved back into my apartment 1473 01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,280 Speaker 1: with my girlfriend and I'm glad that this was resolved. 1474 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:50,720 Speaker 2: Every once in a blue moon, Sam, we have a 1475 01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:53,559 Speaker 2: story that has a happy ending. 1476 01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:55,800 Speaker 1: But you know what we would like to hear. We 1477 01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:58,640 Speaker 1: would like to hear from our public subscribers about you 1478 01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:00,880 Speaker 1: know who are some people that you as actually saw 1479 01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:03,639 Speaker 1: do a turnaround? Lease share in the comments below. 1480 01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:06,160 Speaker 2: My brother was bullying a kid for taking the bus, 1481 01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:08,519 Speaker 2: so I'm never driving him to school again. Now he 1482 01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:11,040 Speaker 2: has to take the bus with all the other losers. 1483 01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:12,120 Speaker 2: Am I the a hole? 1484 01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,080 Speaker 1: Give him a taste of his own medicine? Ooh, it 1485 01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:17,799 Speaker 1: tastes nasty, tastes like the bus floor.

Now it's pretty late and I don't think 1536 01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,120 Speaker 2: i'll be doing any replies, but I do want to 1537 01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:46,679 Speaker 2: clarify two things. One, I bought my car with my money. 1538 01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:49,840 Speaker 2: My parents didn't. It's not their car, it's mine. Two, 1539 01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:52,960 Speaker 2: I'm not parenting my brother. I don't know how anyone 1540 01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:55,479 Speaker 2: jumped to that conclusion. If I no longer wish to 1541 01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:57,519 Speaker 2: go out of my way and pay for gas to 1542 01:13:57,560 --> 01:13:59,639 Speaker 2: take him to and from school every day, I don't 1543 01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:01,840 Speaker 2: have to. Like I said, he has to take the bus, 1544 01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:04,519 Speaker 2: and all it costs for kids under eighteen is a dollar. 1545 01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:06,600 Speaker 2: Two dollars a day is not going to hurt my 1546 01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:09,720 Speaker 2: parents in the slightest lowl. Also, I would take the 1547 01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:11,920 Speaker 2: bullied kid to school if I knew who he was. 1548 01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,400 Speaker 2: The principal and vice principal had the video send to 1549 01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:16,599 Speaker 2: them already, so if I find who the kid is, 1550 01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:19,200 Speaker 2: I'll see if his parents are okay with me taking 1551 01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:20,519 Speaker 2: him to school. That's awesome. 1552 01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:24,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, shout out to not only punished the bully, but 1553 01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:25,599 Speaker 1: uplift the bullied. 1554 01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:29,080 Speaker 2: Yes, I can't make any promises on anything happening, since 1555 01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:31,479 Speaker 2: I know how this school is and how they deal 1556 01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:34,519 Speaker 2: with bullying, and I'm not sharing this TikTok on here. 1557 01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:36,680 Speaker 2: There seems to be some confusion, I said, he goes 1558 01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:41,080 Speaker 2: to the same school I attended, not attend. I graduated, 1559 01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:43,519 Speaker 2: and I'm not a minor. Loll okay, so this is 1560 01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:45,680 Speaker 2: the last I'm adding on to this. I don't know 1561 01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,240 Speaker 2: how me questioning if my actions were right or wrong 1562 01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:51,719 Speaker 2: led to people discussing me living with my parents. Then again, 1563 01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:54,240 Speaker 2: it's the internet, so I'm not surprised. So I was 1564 01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:57,040 Speaker 2: giving my brother rise even when I was moved out, 1565 01:14:57,200 --> 01:14:59,360 Speaker 2: but I lived with a crappy room may and then 1566 01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:01,320 Speaker 2: I moved back home. I am to move back out 1567 01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:03,479 Speaker 2: in less than a month if it all works out, 1568 01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:06,519 Speaker 2: and if it doesn't, then I'm at home longer than 1569 01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:09,759 Speaker 2: I anticipated. Why are strangers so bothered? My parents aren't 1570 01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:12,240 Speaker 2: forcing me to move out laughing emoji. On to the 1571 01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:15,040 Speaker 2: final update. So, as I said, I'm no longer taking 1572 01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:17,439 Speaker 2: my brother to school, and my parents couldn't find anyone 1573 01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:20,000 Speaker 2: else to take him, so he did have to take 1574 01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:23,160 Speaker 2: the bus. Someone mentioned why not uber or lyft, And 1575 01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:26,080 Speaker 2: that's because my parents don't trust either of them. I mean, 1576 01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:29,599 Speaker 2: that's honestly good, because then that's that means he has 1577 01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:32,320 Speaker 2: to take the bus. The thing is, he was off 1578 01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:35,200 Speaker 2: the hook the first three days October twenty seventh to 1579 01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:37,439 Speaker 2: the twenty ninth, which is why y'all didn't get an 1580 01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:40,200 Speaker 2: update on the weekend because my mom let him stay 1581 01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:43,880 Speaker 2: home the first day. Oh my God. Then one of 1582 01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:47,559 Speaker 2: his friends was taking him, which stopped because he was 1583 01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:50,599 Speaker 2: grounded as he was one of the bullies. God. Then 1584 01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:54,880 Speaker 2: the next Monday through Thursday, November first fourth, he had 1585 01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:55,639 Speaker 2: to get on the buck. 1586 01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:57,920 Speaker 1: I love how it took him four days to actually 1587 01:15:58,000 --> 01:15:59,200 Speaker 1: take the bus and get his. 1588 01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:03,439 Speaker 2: Punishments, Just like slipping slipping out of every possible crass. 1589 01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:06,240 Speaker 2: Too many friends, gotta take away his friends. On Monday, 1590 01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:08,920 Speaker 2: he still took me as a joke, woke me up 1591 01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,200 Speaker 2: and told me to take him to school. I said no, 1592 01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:14,400 Speaker 2: and that's when it hit that I was dead serious. 1593 01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:16,719 Speaker 2: I gave him a dollar and told him to take 1594 01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:21,160 Speaker 2: the bus. Yeah, as some of you guess, he hated it, 1595 01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:24,479 Speaker 2: and according to my mom, I quote unquote made him 1596 01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:28,799 Speaker 2: have a panic attack because he had to take public transportation. Honestly, good, 1597 01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:29,880 Speaker 2: I'm I'm. 1598 01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:30,800 Speaker 1: Not sad about that. 1599 01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:34,400 Speaker 2: I'm not mad. I'm not mad. Anyways, YadA, YadA, YadA. 1600 01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:37,200 Speaker 2: He missed the bus and was late to school. Oh 1601 01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:39,720 Speaker 2: my God, the other days he took the bus and 1602 01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:42,360 Speaker 2: I didn't hear anything about him being bullied for it, 1603 01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:45,520 Speaker 2: because he's the bullied who's the stars of the issues. 1604 01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:47,920 Speaker 2: To those of you who claims I was making him 1605 01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:50,559 Speaker 2: take the bus to get bullied Friday, my mom let 1606 01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:54,000 Speaker 2: him stay home again because you guessed it. He didn't 1607 01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:55,000 Speaker 2: want to take the bus. 1608 01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:57,280 Speaker 1: What a pampered puss. 1609 01:16:57,080 --> 01:16:58,960 Speaker 2: Is he just gonna not get it educated. 1610 01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:00,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just gonna drop out of school. 1611 01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:04,120 Speaker 2: So he only took it those four days. And for 1612 01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:06,519 Speaker 2: those of you who think I stopped him from taking 1613 01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:10,000 Speaker 2: an easy way out, literally piss off, because that is 1614 01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:12,400 Speaker 2: not the case. It's not hard to see why I 1615 01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:15,719 Speaker 2: stopped taking him. You guys are reaching. 1616 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:18,880 Speaker 1: If you see your kid making fun of another kid, 1617 01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:23,080 Speaker 1: let them experience what it's like to be the thing 1618 01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:24,760 Speaker 1: that they're making fun of. You know, it's like, oh, 1619 01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:27,200 Speaker 1: you're making fun of the band nerds. You're signing up 1620 01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:30,040 Speaker 1: for tuber lessons right now. When people bully other people, 1621 01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:32,679 Speaker 1: it's because they don't have empathy for the position of 1622 01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,840 Speaker 1: the bullied kid exactly. So your job as a parent 1623 01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:39,720 Speaker 1: is to instill empathy in that kid. For those people. 1624 01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:41,439 Speaker 2: Most of the time, like putting him on the bus. 1625 01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:43,360 Speaker 2: He says he doesn't harm them. He doesn't harm him 1626 01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:46,200 Speaker 2: at all, you know what I mean. My friend exploded 1627 01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:48,720 Speaker 2: on me for asking if she was pregnant, but her 1628 01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:51,519 Speaker 2: top does look way bigger. Am I the a hole? 1629 01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:55,280 Speaker 1: My male twenty five friend female twenty three, usually goes 1630 01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:58,800 Speaker 1: to the gym regularly and parties a lot. Lately, I've 1631 01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:02,080 Speaker 1: noticed that she stopped drinking entirely, same as smoking, and 1632 01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:04,639 Speaker 1: has stopped heavy lifting and going to the gym as 1633 01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:07,759 Speaker 1: regularly as she used to. On top of that, lately, 1634 01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:11,120 Speaker 1: she'll often excuse herself to go to the toilet, presumably 1635 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,280 Speaker 1: to throw up, and I've noticed she got a bit 1636 01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:17,200 Speaker 1: thicker and watery. Don't get me wrong, I'm not jabbing 1637 01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:17,679 Speaker 1: her looks. 1638 01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:23,920 Speaker 2: I'm just noticed also her chest has noticeably grown opie 1639 01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:27,680 Speaker 2: is I'm sorry entirely to observe it. Like going to 1640 01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:29,680 Speaker 2: the bathroom presumably to throw up. 1641 01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:32,280 Speaker 1: She's gone from a thirty six seed to a thirty 1642 01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:35,240 Speaker 1: six double D. When we were out the other week 1643 01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:38,200 Speaker 1: and I noticed she didn't have even a touch of 1644 01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:40,320 Speaker 1: her red bull I pulled her aside to have a 1645 01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:44,120 Speaker 1: private conversation and he asked, don he asked something that 1646 01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:48,200 Speaker 1: you never ask woman ever, hmm, are you pregnant? She 1647 01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:52,040 Speaker 1: immediately flipped out and denied it right after she went home, 1648 01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:54,120 Speaker 1: and I covered for her when the group asked me 1649 01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:56,240 Speaker 1: why she went home. I text her late the same 1650 01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:59,799 Speaker 1: night if I overstepped, and she simply replied, you literally, 1651 01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,720 Speaker 1: fat douchebag. I never did such a thing, but I 1652 01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:06,040 Speaker 1: simply let her be instead of arguing. Today, another friend 1653 01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:09,120 Speaker 1: told me she indeed is pregnant, and I don't know 1654 01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:11,360 Speaker 1: what to make of her reaction towards me when I 1655 01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:15,920 Speaker 1: asked her in a four I conversation am id AOL 1656 01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:18,160 Speaker 1: there is an edit, But John, what do you think? Yeah? 1657 01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:20,240 Speaker 2: I think OP is the a hole because it's like 1658 01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:23,360 Speaker 2: if you ask someone are you pregnant and they say no, 1659 01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:26,920 Speaker 2: it's kind of insinuating that they look kind of fat, 1660 01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:28,840 Speaker 2: and it's like it's just a weird. 1661 01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:31,800 Speaker 1: Quite a weird question to ask. Yeah. I also just 1662 01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:34,519 Speaker 1: I can't imagine asking any of my friends if they're pregnant. 1663 01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:36,360 Speaker 1: If there is an update A question to the audience, 1664 01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:40,040 Speaker 1: is there ever an appropriate time to ask a woman, 1665 01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:41,160 Speaker 1: are you pregnant? 1666 01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:44,960 Speaker 2: If you think it's your baby, that is true, maybe 1667 01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:46,240 Speaker 2: the only time. 1668 01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:48,360 Speaker 1: Well, this post has been a waste of time, except 1669 01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:50,679 Speaker 1: you don't do that, which is most of the replies. 1670 01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:54,080 Speaker 1: There's been little actual useful feedback. Why don't you do that? 1671 01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:56,599 Speaker 1: Why is it not socially acceptable to ask a close 1672 01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:59,240 Speaker 1: friend a normal question in a private setting. It's none 1673 01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:01,679 Speaker 1: of your business, Like, if that's the energy, you could 1674 01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:04,960 Speaker 1: apply that to any question. Ever, it's simply a yes 1675 01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:08,040 Speaker 1: slash no common thing. Are we still in the nineteen fifties? 1676 01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:11,760 Speaker 1: I love how everyone's like, Bro, you don't ask that? 1677 01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:14,200 Speaker 1: And he was like, what, I can't if a girl's prayer? 1678 01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:16,759 Speaker 1: Are we still the nineteen fifties or something? She messaged 1679 01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:19,640 Speaker 1: me and we met up during lunch break. She apologized 1680 01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:24,080 Speaker 1: for overreacting, and I apologize for if my question was intrusive. 1681 01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:27,360 Speaker 1: We game to the conclusion that my question wasn't intrusive, 1682 01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:30,599 Speaker 1: and she also didn't overreact. She told me she's two 1683 01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:34,439 Speaker 1: months pregnant and didn't think anyone had noticed. Little does 1684 01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:37,679 Speaker 1: she know, eagle eyed man on the tatas notice you're 1685 01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:41,839 Speaker 1: you're a full cut bigger. She was keeping it a secret, 1686 01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:43,880 Speaker 1: at least to the guy circle of our group. Because 1687 01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:46,880 Speaker 1: she was afraid of being called a hole. That's why 1688 01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:49,760 Speaker 1: she freaked out when I asked, and it's also why 1689 01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:51,920 Speaker 1: she tried to decleect it by saying I called her fat. 1690 01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:54,200 Speaker 1: I reassured her that no one would think she's a home, 1691 01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:58,080 Speaker 1: especially not in our group. We're all very supportive and 1692 01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:00,640 Speaker 1: are looking forward to doing our best to help her 1693 01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,160 Speaker 1: out the following months. I also shorted the post, and 1694 01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:04,880 Speaker 1: she had a good laugh at some of the way 1695 01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,559 Speaker 1: over the board. If you're the comments, especially the ones 1696 01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:10,400 Speaker 1: calling me a pervert. To be fair, she said, many 1697 01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:13,400 Speaker 1: of them also had valid points, but that they in 1698 01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:17,120 Speaker 1: most cases rather concerned strangers and not close friends you've 1699 01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:20,559 Speaker 1: shared big things with before. So after all, I retract 1700 01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:22,680 Speaker 1: my second edit, and I'm actually happy with how this 1701 01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:25,559 Speaker 1: turned out, especially after receiving more useful feedback from the 1702 01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:27,679 Speaker 1: point I made in the second ediot.

Thank you again. 1816 01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:51,559 Speaker 1: As for my youngest sister, she can't live with me now, 1817 01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:53,519 Speaker 1: even though I would love to take her in, but 1818 01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:56,000 Speaker 1: she's also planning to move in with me once she 1819 01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:59,280 Speaker 1: turns eighteen. My parents are unaware with this. Thanks for 1820 01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:02,559 Speaker 1: the context, but yeah, I'm curious, like for anyone in 1821 01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:06,360 Speaker 1: the comments that has a religious upbringing, religious family, how 1822 01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:09,160 Speaker 1: did you either stick with it or exit it? Because 1823 01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:11,839 Speaker 1: I mean there's also this whole community of like ex Mormons, 1824 01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,479 Speaker 1: even on like there's a sub ex Mormons, and they 1825 01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:18,240 Speaker 1: talk about like how they leave the community gracefully or 1826 01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:21,000 Speaker 1: not so gracefully, right, so they can just live their 1827 01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:23,920 Speaker 1: own lives as they see fit, because not all of 1828 01:27:23,960 --> 01:27:27,519 Speaker 1: them have the same ideals and morals and as their 1829 01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:28,160 Speaker 1: family did. 1830 01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:30,479 Speaker 2: One hundred percent. Yeah, I mean I think there are 1831 01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:34,280 Speaker 2: some parents in these situations who have these beliefs because 1832 01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:36,360 Speaker 2: of their religion where they want to you know, kind 1833 01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:39,759 Speaker 2: of control orchestrate arrange the marriage and things of that nature. 1834 01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:43,040 Speaker 2: And again, like I said before, I understand if that's 1835 01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:45,880 Speaker 2: what they've been kind of essentially indoctrinated to believe like 1836 01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:49,280 Speaker 2: their whole life, I understand how they get there, But ultimately. 1837 01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:52,320 Speaker 1: It's your kid's choice once, once your kid has flown 1838 01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:55,600 Speaker 1: the coop, I mean, you can only suggest things you 1839 01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:56,840 Speaker 1: can't control exactly. 1840 01:27:56,880 --> 01:27:57,799 Speaker 2: Well, what we'd love. 1841 01:27:57,760 --> 01:28:01,440 Speaker 1: To hear two sides of the coin, either your religious 1842 01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:05,240 Speaker 1: exit stories or you know, your parents being controlling stories 1843 01:28:05,439 --> 01:28:08,479 Speaker 1: or your best someone walked in while you were doing 1844 01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:14,760 Speaker 1: it stories?

My mom 1854 01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:43,040 Speaker 2: divorced him when I was twelve, and it got ugly. 1855 01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:47,080 Speaker 2: Sometime during the divorce, we came home and stuff was missing. 1856 01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:49,519 Speaker 2: Not his stuff, by the way, because that was cleaned 1857 01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:52,439 Speaker 2: out when he left, So yeah, he's he's taking from 1858 01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:55,400 Speaker 2: the fanly geez. One of the things missing was my 1859 01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:58,559 Speaker 2: mom's bracelet that she kept in a small box under 1860 01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:01,879 Speaker 2: some stuff in the closet. This bracelet was super special 1861 01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:05,320 Speaker 2: to her. Her parents were toxic af but my mom 1862 01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:08,519 Speaker 2: was really close to her English teacher slash mentor in 1863 01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:10,519 Speaker 2: high school, who was like a mom to her. Her 1864 01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:13,160 Speaker 2: teacher gave her that bracelet at her high school graduation, 1865 01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:16,800 Speaker 2: and my mom kept it all these years. Wow, my 1866 01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:20,160 Speaker 2: dad knew she treasured it, and who else would look 1867 01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:23,639 Speaker 2: in that specific place and take only a bracelet when 1868 01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:26,160 Speaker 2: there was other stuff in the house. She knew it 1869 01:29:26,200 --> 01:29:29,040 Speaker 2: was him too, but he always played dumb. The divorce 1870 01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:31,840 Speaker 2: was finalized and we didn't see my dad after that. 1871 01:29:31,920 --> 01:29:34,960 Speaker 2: My mom never got it back. Last June she got 1872 01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:38,479 Speaker 2: the VID and unfortunately didn't make it. Oh No, I 1873 01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:42,080 Speaker 2: was broken over that. Still am I guess glad at 1874 01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:45,160 Speaker 2: least me, my sister, and my stepdad have each other 1875 01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:48,160 Speaker 2: for support. Around October, my sister told me that my 1876 01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:50,320 Speaker 2: dad wants to talk to me, so she gave him 1877 01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:53,120 Speaker 2: my number. He apologized for being a piece of shit 1878 01:29:53,240 --> 01:29:55,960 Speaker 2: Dad and asked if we could meet to talk at 1879 01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:58,240 Speaker 2: his place. I was ready to straight up say no, 1880 01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:01,599 Speaker 2: but then I remembered he stole her bracelet and maybe 1881 01:30:01,640 --> 01:30:03,599 Speaker 2: there was a chance to get it back. I've asked 1882 01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:06,280 Speaker 2: my sister before to push him about it since they talk, 1883 01:30:06,439 --> 01:30:08,920 Speaker 2: but she only asked him once and left it at that. 1884 01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:11,719 Speaker 2: I decided I could handle one visit just to see 1885 01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:14,680 Speaker 2: if he has it, so I told him I'd hear 1886 01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:17,040 Speaker 2: him out. So yeah, I met at this place. We 1887 01:30:17,160 --> 01:30:20,280 Speaker 2: caught up on stuff. He told me his sorry story 1888 01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:23,080 Speaker 2: about being immature and too focused on stuff that wasn't 1889 01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:25,760 Speaker 2: more important than being a dad or whatever. I ended 1890 01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:29,320 Speaker 2: up bringing the bracelet up and how important that was 1891 01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:32,240 Speaker 2: to me since my mom's not here anymore. He kept 1892 01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:34,719 Speaker 2: trying to act like it wasn't him, until I said, 1893 01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:38,200 Speaker 2: the only way I'd consider having a father son relationship 1894 01:30:38,320 --> 01:30:40,479 Speaker 2: is if he just stopped with that and gave me 1895 01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:43,000 Speaker 2: my mom's bracelet, which also, like, if you're trying to 1896 01:30:43,080 --> 01:30:45,680 Speaker 2: like reconnect, why would you lie about that. 1897 01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:49,080 Speaker 1: Maybe it's like he's so embarrassed about it that he's 1898 01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:51,400 Speaker 1: like possible. He doesn't even want to admit it to himself. 1899 01:30:51,439 --> 01:30:52,800 Speaker 2: I don't know if it was valuable or if he 1900 01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:54,560 Speaker 2: sold it and he was like, oh, I like it. 1901 01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:57,479 Speaker 2: I sold him a long time ago. Yikes. But he 1902 01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:00,960 Speaker 2: finally gave in, and thank god he actually kept it 1903 01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:02,640 Speaker 2: instead of throwing it out. I wonder if it was 1904 01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:04,160 Speaker 2: maybe more of a spikee thing. 1905 01:31:04,400 --> 01:31:06,120 Speaker 1: Oh it was one hundred percent of spite, then, yeah, 1906 01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:08,599 Speaker 1: he was stealing it just to make his ex wife 1907 01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:09,280 Speaker 1: feel terrible. 1908 01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:11,559 Speaker 2: He apologized for taking it and knew that it was 1909 01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:14,000 Speaker 2: super childish. I was just happy to have it back, 1910 01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:16,920 Speaker 2: but mad my mom didn't get it before she passed away. 1911 01:31:17,040 --> 01:31:19,840 Speaker 2: I never guaranteed my dad a relationship. I just said 1912 01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:22,479 Speaker 2: I'd consider it, but I already made up my mind 1913 01:31:22,600 --> 01:31:25,080 Speaker 2: that I don't want anything to do with him. It's 1914 01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:27,519 Speaker 2: been months since our meeting, and my sister is pissed 1915 01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:30,080 Speaker 2: because my dad is disappointed I haven't talked to him. 1916 01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:32,439 Speaker 2: She says, I was a huge piece of crap for 1917 01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:35,840 Speaker 2: making him think we'd reconcile. My only goal was getting 1918 01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:38,200 Speaker 2: the bracelet back, and I wouldn't have talked to him 1919 01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:40,439 Speaker 2: in the first place if it wasn't for that. So 1920 01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:43,280 Speaker 2: that's why I wonder if I'm the a hole. My 1921 01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:45,840 Speaker 2: sister is biased here since she was little when they 1922 01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:49,320 Speaker 2: split up and has a different version of him. So 1923 01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:52,799 Speaker 2: I mean, I think the big question for everyone watching 1924 01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,920 Speaker 2: is is OP the A hole for you know, basically 1925 01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:58,840 Speaker 2: just getting the bracelet back and not building the relationship. 1926 01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:01,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the it's definitely the A hole, 1927 01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:04,280 Speaker 1: but it seems like he's trying to change. It does 1928 01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:08,040 Speaker 1: seems like he's trying to change, although he did continue 1929 01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:10,599 Speaker 1: lying about it when he initially asked. That's a red 1930 01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:12,960 Speaker 1: flag for me, maybe not. Maybe a red flag for 1931 01:32:13,240 --> 01:32:16,400 Speaker 1: that's pretty red flag. So if he lied about it 1932 01:32:16,439 --> 01:32:19,080 Speaker 1: a bunch of times before, we'll look conflict because he 1933 01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:22,519 Speaker 1: did eventually give it. But you know, it seems like 1934 01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:24,640 Speaker 1: he did so much terrible stuff in the past that 1935 01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:27,960 Speaker 1: I don't think OP needs to have a relationship with him. Yeah, 1936 01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:30,519 Speaker 1: and she didn't necessarily lie. She said she'd consider it, 1937 01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:32,960 Speaker 1: and she's done her consideration, decided not. 1938 01:32:33,240 --> 01:32:35,640 Speaker 2: And I think too that like we don't know the 1939 01:32:35,680 --> 01:32:38,479 Speaker 2: exact timeframe that this all happened in. I think I 1940 01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:40,000 Speaker 2: think they said a couple of weeks, so like this 1941 01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:42,800 Speaker 2: is a very fresh thing. Like op I mentioned when 1942 01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:45,360 Speaker 2: he was twelve that he basically accepted that his dad 1943 01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:47,600 Speaker 2: was not going to be engaged with him anymore. So 1944 01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:51,559 Speaker 2: like that's a lot many years in a few weeks. 1945 01:32:51,600 --> 01:32:54,000 Speaker 2: So I don't think he's a hole just because of 1946 01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:56,360 Speaker 2: the time it'll take. And like the dad, it is like, hey, 1947 01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:59,240 Speaker 2: you did years of damage. You have to put in 1948 01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:01,400 Speaker 2: a lot of time. I'm an effort to building that 1949 01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:03,680 Speaker 2: trust back if you want to, truly. 1950 01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:05,920 Speaker 1: And it's going to take time. I don't think opca hole. 1951 01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:08,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't either, But you know who's never the ahole. 1952 01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:13,120 Speaker 2: Our beautiful commenters comment your stories and tell us the freak. 1953 01:33:12,920 --> 01:33:15,320 Speaker 1: Up things your parents did do. My uber driver just 1954 01:33:15,360 --> 01:33:17,920 Speaker 1: got into a wreck, so I left. I probably should 1955 01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:19,960 Speaker 1: have stayed, but I don't want to am I the 1956 01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:21,920 Speaker 1: a whole. I don't care if you're bleeding out. Oh 1957 01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:23,599 Speaker 1: I'm about to die. Well, I'm about to be late 1958 01:33:23,640 --> 01:33:26,000 Speaker 1: for my meeting. Yeah, I have brunch with Carla. You 1959 01:33:26,040 --> 01:33:28,839 Speaker 1: can deal with your afterlife. I gotta deal with this life. 1960 01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:31,840 Speaker 1: I spent sixty dollars on a ride out of town 1961 01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:34,320 Speaker 1: towards a casino tonight. We needed to take a turn, 1962 01:33:34,400 --> 01:33:37,800 Speaker 1: but emergency vehicles were blocking the highway exit. Oddly enough, 1963 01:33:38,040 --> 01:33:41,040 Speaker 1: there were dudes racing their cars to the exit before mine, 1964 01:33:41,080 --> 01:33:43,400 Speaker 1: so we looped around and found ourselves on a long 1965 01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:45,840 Speaker 1: stretch of side road peril. It's in the main route. 1966 01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:47,880 Speaker 1: This part of the area is a weird mix of 1967 01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:51,160 Speaker 1: warehouses with suburbs out of the city. This long road 1968 01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:54,200 Speaker 1: is apparently perfect for street racing, and we end up 1969 01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:57,679 Speaker 1: going one way while cars are burning down the other lanes. 1970 01:33:57,760 --> 01:33:59,880 Speaker 1: Kind of cool looking. Actually, it seems like a big 1971 01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:00,960 Speaker 1: Friday night party. 1972 01:34:01,200 --> 01:34:03,799 Speaker 2: It is kind of cool. Okey but super annoying. 1973 01:34:03,840 --> 01:34:06,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, super annoying if you're an Uber driver trying to 1974 01:34:06,080 --> 01:34:08,439 Speaker 1: not kill your passengers. So we passed the end of 1975 01:34:08,479 --> 01:34:11,160 Speaker 1: the line where kids are lined up before taking off, 1976 01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:13,960 Speaker 1: and one of them crosses in front of us after 1977 01:34:14,040 --> 01:34:17,719 Speaker 1: his run to get in, and we smash. Oh god, 1978 01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:22,000 Speaker 1: and it felt so good. Smash. Now. The Uber driver 1979 01:34:22,160 --> 01:34:24,760 Speaker 1: might have been going ten miles per hour faster than 1980 01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:26,720 Speaker 1: he should have been, but with all the chaos, it 1981 01:34:26,720 --> 01:34:29,479 Speaker 1: seems safe enough. As he hit the brakes the ralphee 1982 01:34:29,520 --> 01:34:32,719 Speaker 1: on the bus, I'm in danger, meme a cross my mind. 1983 01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:34,879 Speaker 1: I'm sure everyone else who has been in an accident 1984 01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:37,320 Speaker 1: knows that slow motion feeling. I get out of the 1985 01:34:37,360 --> 01:34:39,680 Speaker 1: back and ask everyone if they are okay. And it 1986 01:34:39,720 --> 01:34:42,639 Speaker 1: was obvious that there was some bad cosmetic damage, maybe 1987 01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:45,800 Speaker 1: some structural, but nobody was hurt at this point. My 1988 01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:49,800 Speaker 1: destination is a mile away and last call is less 1989 01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:50,400 Speaker 1: than an hour. 1990 01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:55,240 Speaker 2: Man's got his priorities. I gotta get drunk. Come on. 1991 01:34:55,640 --> 01:34:57,760 Speaker 1: I look at the driver and tell him I am 1992 01:34:57,760 --> 01:35:00,160 Speaker 1: not mad at him at all, and he can have 1993 01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:03,360 Speaker 1: my number, but I'm not sticking around. The racers seem cool, 1994 01:35:03,439 --> 01:35:05,760 Speaker 1: But did I leave him in a dangerous position. I 1995 01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:08,880 Speaker 1: don't think so. Nobody wants the police crashing the party, 1996 01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:10,840 Speaker 1: and I simply did not want to be involved to 1997 01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:13,439 Speaker 1: that point. So would I be the asshole if I reported? 1998 01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:18,280 Speaker 2: Though? In the app to get find money back, not. 1999 01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:22,360 Speaker 1: Only does he leave the driver to get a drink, 2000 01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:24,240 Speaker 1: but he wants to report the driver too. 2001 01:35:24,560 --> 01:35:25,839 Speaker 2: That's funny. 2002 01:35:25,920 --> 01:35:29,000 Speaker 1: He took me nineteen of the twenty miles, but then again, 2003 01:35:29,160 --> 01:35:31,879 Speaker 1: I did have to walk, and sixty bucks is sixty 2004 01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:34,719 Speaker 1: bucks for me. Then again, he may need it more. Three, 2005 01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:36,840 Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie and pretend I was hurt 2006 01:35:36,920 --> 01:35:40,000 Speaker 1: or anything, so that is off the table. Okay, Edit, hey'all, 2007 01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:43,200 Speaker 1: it's sober and not rattled me. It is legal for 2008 01:35:43,240 --> 01:35:46,200 Speaker 1: a passenger to leave the scene per my state's law. Okay, 2009 01:35:46,200 --> 01:35:46,880 Speaker 1: so what do you think? 2010 01:35:47,040 --> 01:35:51,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like ultimately kind of ope, he was uninvolved. 2011 01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:53,920 Speaker 2: I feel like low Key is kind of out of 2012 01:35:53,960 --> 01:35:57,120 Speaker 2: their hands, and the driver wasn't hurt. If someone was hurt, definitely, 2013 01:35:57,160 --> 01:35:59,519 Speaker 2: it's like, okay, wait for an ambulance like something. But yeah, 2014 01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:01,519 Speaker 2: it's like, no one hurt. This is now just an 2015 01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:03,599 Speaker 2: issue between the two of them because it's the cars, 2016 01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:05,880 Speaker 2: right so to me, I'm like, yeah, like go ahead 2017 01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:08,280 Speaker 2: and leave, like there's nothing you can really do on 2018 01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:11,800 Speaker 2: the on the refund, the reporting, I mean, you didn't 2019 01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:13,760 Speaker 2: get into a crash. Yeah, it's a tough one. I 2020 01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:16,560 Speaker 2: mean like if the Uber driver, because of their negligence, 2021 01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:18,439 Speaker 2: caused a crash, for sure, like give me a give 2022 01:36:18,479 --> 01:36:20,120 Speaker 2: me a refund at a bare minimum. 2023 01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:24,519 Speaker 1: Right, If it happened to me, I probably wouldn't try 2024 01:36:24,560 --> 01:36:26,840 Speaker 1: to get my money back from Nuber. Me four years 2025 01:36:26,880 --> 01:36:29,800 Speaker 1: ago might have college me sixty bucks and sixty bucks 2026 01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:31,680 Speaker 1: depending on how it hurt my neck is I might 2027 01:36:31,720 --> 01:36:34,880 Speaker 1: be like, called Jacob dot com, let me get some 2028 01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:37,640 Speaker 1: lawsuit money out of this, but probably not now, and 2029 01:36:37,680 --> 01:36:39,400 Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't have done it that honestly. 2030 01:36:39,600 --> 01:36:43,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, is the money coming out of the Uber driver 2031 01:36:43,840 --> 01:36:44,679 Speaker 2: or from Uber? 2032 01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:48,160 Speaker 1: I think coming out of Uber because usually the drivers 2033 01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:51,040 Speaker 1: are insured, That's what I'm saying. But they probably might 2034 01:36:51,120 --> 01:36:52,639 Speaker 1: lose their driving thing. 2035 01:36:52,920 --> 01:36:55,679 Speaker 2: Actually yeah, wow, that's like so much worse. I probably 2036 01:36:55,680 --> 01:36:58,200 Speaker 2: wouldn't report. Yeah, I don't think that's the move, which 2037 01:36:58,280 --> 01:36:59,439 Speaker 2: doesn't that op was just. 2038 01:36:59,400 --> 01:37:01,800 Speaker 1: Asking, as I contemplate it more, I am going to 2039 01:37:01,840 --> 01:37:03,919 Speaker 1: seek my money back if that makes me an asshole, 2040 01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:06,639 Speaker 1: so be it. I consider it justice. I'm the one 2041 01:37:06,640 --> 01:37:08,800 Speaker 1: who paid for the service that was not fulfilled. I'm 2042 01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:10,720 Speaker 1: the one sitting next to a crumpled door, and it 2043 01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:14,120 Speaker 1: was at risk of both drivers being stupid. Screw both 2044 01:37:14,120 --> 01:37:14,719 Speaker 1: of those guys. 2045 01:37:14,880 --> 01:37:18,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I totally herop in that perspective, like 2046 01:37:18,200 --> 01:37:20,639 Speaker 2: you were involved in an accident and the driver's going 2047 01:37:20,680 --> 01:37:22,840 Speaker 2: faster than he should have. That is true. I guess 2048 01:37:22,840 --> 01:37:24,840 Speaker 2: I can't really blame there for me. It's like if 2049 01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:27,200 Speaker 2: there was no ultimate, like true harm done, I just 2050 01:37:27,240 --> 01:37:29,720 Speaker 2: had to walk a mile. It's a story, you know. 2051 01:37:29,840 --> 01:37:31,639 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not one to like go and leave 2052 01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:34,000 Speaker 1: bad reviews even when things are bad. I was just like, 2053 01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:36,280 Speaker 1: I feel like it takes more mental energy than it's worth. 2054 01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:37,000 Speaker 2: But what would you do? 2055 01:37:37,040 --> 01:37:39,160 Speaker 1: Would you leave a bad review or would you try 2056 01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:41,639 Speaker 1: to get your money back from this crashed uber?
