1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Toxic relationships aren't everywhere. So we're giving you five examples

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: of toxic relationships that get increasingly more toxic so you

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: can avoid them. Put on your hazmat suit and let's

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: jump into number five. They fed up by ignoring a

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: helicopter crash where I could have saved someone because my

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: wife said it's not worth your time.

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 2: Thanks.

8
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: Yikes, dude, your wife does not sound like a good person.

9
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: Let's go, dude, Kobe could have survived.

10
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: No, now I'm mad?

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: Did did? Was there any like survivors from the Kobe helicopters?

12
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: You know? The day after Kobe died in a helicopter crash,

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: I went up in a helicopter hmmm, And my mom

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: was like, I can't believe you're doing that, Like that's

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: so dangerous, and I'm like, mom, the chances of there

16
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: being two helicopter crashes back to back is very low.

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 3: That would have been insane, though, I would have been insane.

18
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 3: You're like, no, Samuel Donor what I would have known?

19
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: You then?

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would have known. That would have ruined everything.

21
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: So this happened, I don't know, in two thousand and eight,

22
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: and it's a memory that unfortunately won't go away in

23
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: my life. It popped up again unintentionally and unprovoked the

24
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: other night, and it just doesn't sit right with me,

25
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: and I'm always left with the regret, and I'm remorse.

26
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: So the year was two thousand and eight or so.

27
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: I tried googling the news headlines to corroborate my claim,

28
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: but I'm not very good with that sort of advanced research.

29
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: My then wife at the time is not a good

30
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: person at heart. Yikes Yikes called it. She was a

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: Karen in training and very self centered. We were heading

32
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: up the one oh one in California for her cousin's

33
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: wedding one weekend. I want to say it was around Salinas,

34
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: before the exit to head west to the Monterey That

35
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: is when the accident happened. I saw a spray helicopter

36
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: about one hundred yards on our right take off from

37
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: the fields, and watched it get about fifty feet in

38
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: the air, not too high for a helicopter, but enough

39
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: to be low for a helicopter. I saw it hovering

40
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: there and then saw the propellers for a second quite visibly,

41
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: which caught my attention because you should, honestly never see

42
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: them rotating that when airborne. So now I'm paying complete

43
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: attention to the hello, which I guess is short for helicopter.

44
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: And I watched smoke come out of its engines and

45
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: then just stop and plummet to the ground like a rock.

46
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: I saw it happen and pointed it out, and I

47
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: started to pull over to the shoulder to help, and

48
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: she yells at me, what are you doing. I'm pulling

49
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: over to help. What are you going to do. I've

50
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: got a fire extinguisher in the car. I can go

51
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: put out the flames and try and pull them out.

52
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: You're not a marine anymore. You can't just go running

53
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: off and saving people anytime anymore. But they could be hurt.

54
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: And I see smoke everywhere. No, we're going to be

55
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: late for the wedding. Let someone else deal with it.

56
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: So away we went. I found out later on during

57
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: the week in the news that two people died inside

58
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: the fire before emergency services got there. The worst part

59
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: is that when we finally arrived to her cousin's wedding,

60
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: we found out that we were deemed unimportant enough for

61
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: the actual ceremony, and it was the reception we were

62
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: hurrying too. I feel like those deaths are on me

63
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: and I should have done something.

64
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: Edit.

65
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: Thanks for all the well wishes and dms. No, I

66
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: don't know why comments got locked. I received no messages

67
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: about it. I'm aware I've got issues with PTSD from

68
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: war related things and mostly in my time as at PMC.

69
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: What's a PMC.

70
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: Private military company like security contract?

71
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: Right?

72
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: I do do therapy and talk about everything. Perhaps it's

73
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: time to add this one to the list. It is

74
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: odd to me that specific instances pop up, but thanks

75
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: for allowing me to share it. I still feel bad,

76
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: though slightly less bad thanks some to the comments. The

77
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: helicopter never actually exploded, but yes, I'm aware of my

78
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: rinky dink extinguisher would have been as useful as a

79
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: bottle of water if I remembered correctly. It was a

80
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: small cockpit fire and the engine had just died. Hence

81
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: my regret for not at least trying. No one's found

82
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: the article yet, but I appreciate the effort truly. It's

83
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: why I mentioned it. If it helps. I want to

84
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: say it was around early afternoon, maybe definitely not that

85
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: morning crash. People keep sending me where the people survived.

86
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: I wish it was though, So, what do you think

87
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: is Op's wife the a hole for not letting him

88
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: save two people from a fiery death?

89
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: How close were they again?

90
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: They were like, I guess it was like they were

91
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: on the freeway and it was like right on the

92
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: other side of the freeway.

93
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: Do you think you could save someone from then? I

94
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: don't know.

95
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: If you saw a helicopter crash on the side of

96
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: the road, would you stop?

97
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: I called the cops.

98
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: I called I saw a fire like last week that

99
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: was pretty big, and I called the cops. Dude, yeah,

100
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: nine one one baby. It was the first time I

101
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,239
Speaker 1: did it, actually name, I never called nine one before.

102
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I do have a nine one one story?

103
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: How have you?

104
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 3: What?

105
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: What do do you do? Oh?

106
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 2: So I called number one one?

107
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: Wait really quick, put your answers in the comments. One

108
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: if you've ever called nine one one before and why?

109
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: And two if you saw a helicopter crash, would you

110
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: try to do something or would you just call nine

111
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: one one? Or would you do nothing?

112
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 3: Riley?

113
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: What's your nine one story?

114
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 3: I would maybe try to see what I could do

115
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 3: if it was in flames, called nine one. So I

116
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 3: was in seventh grade and my dad's friend need help,

117
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 3: like move like cutting down some like trees, like some

118
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 3: little thin pine trees.

119
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: They were dead at his house.

120
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: So my dad got this dump truck and it was

121
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,239
Speaker 3: me and my brother and my dad and his friend.

122
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: And it was hot.

123
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 3: It was like the hottest day of that summer. And

124
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 3: I remember just like working there. We were maybe like

125
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: twenty thirty minutes in. I was like, I was like

126
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 3: looking up. I was like, Lord, I would do anything

127
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: to get out of this situation right now. Oh no,

128
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 3: And so we I was kind of getting into this

129
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: way of things. I was like putting the my dad

130
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 3: would cut the trees at the bottom. Him and his

131
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 3: friend would with chainsaws, and me and my brother would

132
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 3: take the little trees and throw them into the dump truck.

133
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

134
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 3: So like he so he's left handed using a right

135
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: handed chainsaw. So he's like cutting this tree kind of

136
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 3: at this angle, right right down the middle. And I

137
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 3: remember seeing him do it, so like I like walked

138
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: around him. I was just doing it and he went boom, boom,

139
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: popped up boom right into the face, right into the face.

140
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: This is not your dad, this is your dad's friend.

141
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: This is my dad.

142
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: This is your dad?

143
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 2: Is my dad? You know what.

144
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 3: The first thing I thought was what, he's going to

145
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 3: have an eye patch? And I was like thinking, in

146
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: that moment, my life with my dad having an eye patch.

147
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 3: And I was like, this is crazy, Like people are

148
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,679
Speaker 3: going to ask me about it, ask me what happened.

149
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: Halloween's gonna be weird. He'll probably dress up like that

150
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 2: was just what was going on right head. Yeah.

151
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 3: And then my second thing was like, oh, this would

152
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: be a great time to call nine one one. And

153
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: I called nine one one and I asked the god

154
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 3: what the address was?

155
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: Got it wrong? Wait?

156
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: Wait?

157
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: Wait? Were like, was your dad bleeding?

158
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was bleeding. He's bleeding. Ever were like down

159
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: this thing?

160
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: He was like oh.

Speaker 2: I was like you're good. He's like ah.

00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 2: He's like.

165
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 3: I was like, hey, my dad just got h in

00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 3: the face by chainsaw and he's like, oh my gosh.

167
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: I was like, so what's the address? He tells me

168
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: call the cops. Get the address wrong because they're like,

169
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 3: you're saying you're here, but you're actually here. Should we

170
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 3: come there, and I was like, yeah, come come.

171
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 2: To where you tracked me.

172
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, if they come, and my little brother, he's like

173
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 3: the first spawnders come. My little brother just side crying

174
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: and he's like he's like and I'm like calming him down, like.

175
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: It's okay, that'll be all right. To the side.

176
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: My dad's having a conversation with the first responders and

177
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: they ask him like, is there anything we can help

178
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: you with? And my dad's joking and he's like, we'll

179
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: have some poison ivy on my leg, like can you

180
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 3: help me cure that? And one responder very loudly says, well, we.

181
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: Can't do anything about that.

182
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 3: And my brother, here's that and he just goes it,

183
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 3: just starts crying again.

184
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: Oh no, what happened with your dad's face?

185
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 3: So he has like a little scar. He's like six

186
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 3: or eight. With the scar, it's not too noticeable, but

187
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: kind of scary. He had to get a metal plate

188
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 3: in his face. He lost the tooth after a few

189
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 3: years it got loose, but he got a new tooth in.

190
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 3: But he's good now. If he didn't have the sunglasses on,

191
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: you would have lost an eye. Wow.

192
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: But he's good.

193
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: Damn, that's crazy. It's pretty you for thinking quick, being

194
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: calm and calling nine one one. Yeah. Yeah, And you

195
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: know I'm going to call it on this story and

196
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to go to the next one. Yeah. I

197
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: think the wife is completely the asshole for that. Yeah,

198
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: could save them all right, So my boyfriend manipulated me

199
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: for the last time, so I'm going to throw him out.

200
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: Am I the a hole? And this is uh near

201
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: and dear to the heart because this is from our

202
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: slash Okop show hosted by UB two thousand. So when

203
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: I twenty three, female was nineteen, so I guess four

204
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: years ago, I was working at a hotel as a

205
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: room service attendance. I met a twenty six year old

206
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: man who worked through a temp agency in banquets. The

207
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: age difference never really struck me, as I already had

208
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: a thing for older guys. Okay, so he's seven years

209
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: old or nineteen and twenty six?

210
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: Would you would you nineteen years year old?

211
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: There was one I think it would be, I mean

212
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: it would be I think it would be weird dating

213
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: someone in college. But if it was like a nineteen

214
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: year old that wasn't in college and like was doing

215
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: like crazy things in the world. Maybe I think it's

216
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: more of like a less of an age thing and

217
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: more of like a interest. Are you Are you in

218
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: the same like life stage? It's me.

219
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. I saw a couple at a party and I

220
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: thought they were a thing, and she was like, I'm eighteen,

221
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 3: I'm twenty six.

222
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: But they weren't a thing.

223
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: So I was already that we were at Yeah.

224
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, wow, this is crazy.

225
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, but looking back, it was rather disturbing that a

226
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: man with a fully formed brain was interested in someone

227
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: who had just become an adult that year in our state?

228
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: Nineteen is the age of adulthood? Is that? What state

229
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: is that?

230
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: It?

231
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: Now? What? It's eighteen? Everywhere? Is it not?

232
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: Is it consent?

233
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: Age of consent is eighteen everywhere?

234
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: I thought, what state is nineteen?

235
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 3: Legal age Alabama and Nebraska and Mississippi is at twenty one?

236
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: Is when you're illegal adults? Yeah, that's not the age

237
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: of consent? She said, She said, I legal interested in

238
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: someone that just became a legal adult. So what's that?

239
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: So that but you can vote at eighteen? What can

240
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: you not do? What's the difference between what is illegal?

241
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: Don't mean the age at which a person gains control

242
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 3: over their own actions and affairs and becomes responsible for

243
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 3: the decisions that they make.

244
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: At twenty one, Is it responsible for the decisions?

245
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: No way, that's what it says, Mississippi.

246
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm confused, all right. If anyone has insight into that,

247
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: please let me know. He was charming and I had

248
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: low self esteem. As we connected, he told me he

249
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: was homeless. Man, Oh, you could do better. Me. Being

250
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: the autistic, overly empathetic, and naive people pleaser, I asked

251
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: my mom if you could stay with us. To my

252
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: utter shock, she said yes. I was somewhat uncomfortable with

253
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: the whole thing because I recognized that I hardly knew

254
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: this man. Why are you inviting a dude that you

255
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: don't know into your home. He's charming, he's charming, he's hot.

256
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: He's hot.

257
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: Possibly, But again, I was a people pleaser, so I

258
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: told my mom and said yes. He was always vague

259
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: about how he ended up homeless, which should have been

260
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: a red flag, but I blinded myself because he was

261
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: giving me a lot of attention. I think I was

262
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: holding out hope that the red flags were to a

263
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: mini golf course. That's funny, I for you. We also

264
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: ended up hooking up the first night, but it honestly

265
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: didn't know how to feel about that because it was

266
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: my second time ever with anyone. His manipulation slowly started

267
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: peeking its way in. It started with him never wanting

268
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: to leave my room beyond going to work weird. You'd

269
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: also make comments about work, like you could never do

270
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: what I do in banquets and your day couldn't compare

271
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: to mine, which did make me feel something of a

272
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: negative feeling, but I just brushed it off. He then

273
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: would trash the shows I like and insists we watched

274
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: stupid shows and scary movies he wanted to watch. It

275
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: got even more toxic from there. He also at one

276
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: point tried telling me the new phone I chose for

277
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: myself was the wrong phone because it wasn't the phone

278
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: he told me to get. This might sound odd, but

279
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: I really loved that phone, So that was what started

280
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: souring my view of him. Then the Fateful night started

281
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: That evening. I was at work when he drunkenly called me,

282
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: and I could hear women in the background and whistling

283
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: with loud music. After I got off my shift, I

284
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: found him plastered and found out he spent his entire

285
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: check at a strip club and never paid my mom

286
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: for anything, and he's staying in their house. The absolute

287
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: final straw was when he fell over and smashed one

288
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: of my bins that held very important to me, at

289
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: least craft projects I had spent months upon months completing.

290
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: I told him he was done. I had tolerated far

291
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: too much and I was sick of it. He packed

292
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: his stuff and at two AM, as I was driving

293
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: him to work, where he said someone could pick him up,

294
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: he hopped out of the car at a red light

295
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: and left his stuff in the trunk. I tried to

296
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: go after him, but it was seriously dark with minimal

297
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: street lighting. I ended up the next day dropping his

298
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: stuff off at security. My boss was pissed and I

299
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: tried getting him banned from the property, but couldn't since

300
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: it happened off the premises and off the clock. That night,

301
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: I drove to the Walmart and browsed through the clearance

302
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: section until I felt like it was okay. So he

303
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: just like ran off, Yeah, that was what happened, jeez.

304
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 1: That night, I drove to Walmart and browsed through the

305
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: clearance section until I felt like it was okay. I

306
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: also fixed my bin with a couple rolls of duct

307
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: tape from the clearance section, and I fixed some broke

308
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: in crafts.

309
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: Because he destroyed the right one of his association.

310
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the whole experience let me shaken, angry, sad, betrayed,

311
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: and confused. But as I look back on it, I'm

312
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: ultimately proud of myself for kicking him out at all,

313
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: as any other women in my family would have begged

314
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: him to come back. I have not been in a

315
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: steady relationship since, but I've been single by choice the

316
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,280

Speaker 1: guys and gals, no one has the right to make

318
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: you feel any negative feelings about yourself. Never let someone

319
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: tear you down, even if you're strong enough to build

320
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: yourself back up. We're all worthy of never having to settle.

00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: they're very vetted, because that's that's a little spooky.

Speaker 2: And your mom like being like, yeah.

Speaker 3: We were in the car today and Sam's mom called

331
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 3: and she had a list of like things Sam should

332
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 3: check on for the house, and I was like, Wow, she.

333
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: Really loves bossing me around.

334
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: Hopefully she doesn't watch this like I didn't want to

335
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: be that way, But she loves him.

336
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: She cares, she cares. It's intent sometimes. Well, let's get

337
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: into this next story.

338
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: Mommy, what do you say?

339
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: You fuck? Am I the asshole for telling my son

340
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: he deserved his girlfriend breaking up with.

341
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: Him, would you do, buddy?

342
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean maybe you did deserve her. Let's see, So,

343
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: my son has had a long distance girlfriend recently for

344
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: about two years. She was great, a really nice girl,

345
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: and we all loved her and welcomed her with open arms.

346
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: She was flying here constantly to visit him, like a

347
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: weekend a month, and he didn't lift a finger to

348
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: go visit her, which is kind of messed up. I

349
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: tried talking to him about it several times and told

350
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: him he should really start looking into flying over to

351
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: her instead of expecting her to do all the traveling.

352
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: He said, well, she can come to me and Barbie,

353
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: this dick don't fly and.

354
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: Barbie, what did kin want? Like a low have you

355
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: seen Barbie?

356
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: No?

357
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 3: Oh, there's like one where like he's like, it would

358
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 3: be really cool if you were like my low commitment girlfriend,

359
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 3: long distant girlfriend or something like that.

360
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: That's what that's what Opie his boyfriend wants.

361
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what he wants.

362
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: Oh wait, that's what Ope's son wants.

363
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: Rather, opis son's one.

364
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. And my wife probably had something to do with it,

365
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: as she constantly told him she was afraid of him flying.

366
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: I spoke to them both and said, this girl is

367
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: great for him. She was willing to move over to

368
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: our country too. Oh so they're a country away. Oh,

369
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: but said there was one condition, and that was he'd

370
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: have to fly over to her country too, which is

371
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: fair enough. He said, no, he didn't want to fly

372
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: to travel anywhere. My son was becoming lazier and lazier,

373
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: eventually telling his girlfriend and us that he was perfectly

374
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: fine never traveling anywhere, including holidays, et cetera. And last

375
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: week he told us she's dumped him. I went on

376
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: our Facebook page, and we're all still friends, and she

377
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: wrote us an apology letter about how she's upset it

378
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: didn't work out, but these things happen, so we're on

379
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: good terms. And it looks like she's with a new

380
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: guy already that's back. Me and my wife have no

381
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: doubt she was seeing him. Will still in a relationship

382
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: with my son. I confess to them both that I

383
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: actually agree with her decision and he should have expected it.

384
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: He did not treat her properly, and I hope he

385
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: learns lessons for the next one, because he needs to

386
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: make more of an effort. I said. He deserves it

387
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: for his lack of effort in the relationship and for

388
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: essentially just allowing this girl to spend all her money

389
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: and time coming here all the time. Wife and son

390
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: are very upset that I said this, very upset, and

391
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: my wife says I'm being horrible, So am I the asshole?

392
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: I stand by what I said. I would love to

393
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: know what you guys think. Butt your answers in the

394
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: comments if you think opez asshole, I think, yes, there

395
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: is a time to say all of this, but I

396
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: don't think it's immediately after he just got broken up

397
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: with Yeah, it's like he's in an emotional state. This

398
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: isn't this isn't gonna He's not going to receive that

399
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: well in that state, you know.

400
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would like to know like kind of the

401
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: tone he like said it to him.

402
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean it seems like a bad tone.

403
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 2: It was pretty stern.

404
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, seems pretty pretty shitty. I don't think if

405
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: if that was my son, I think I would be

406
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: consoling initially and then be like hey, like when he's

407
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: a little bit better, like, hey, I want to talk

408
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: to you about the relationship. I don't think you treated

409
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: her right.

410
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

411
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 3: I feel like the song wasn't considered it because consider

412
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 3: it because like all the time and money she spent

413
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 3: on him whenever he was like, eh, you're all right.

414
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: And also it is a long term or it is

415
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: a long distant relationship with it that that's very hard,

416
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: and the son's young, you know, like and like maybe

417
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: he's also just not that inter or too.

418
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

419
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: I just could be that as well.

420
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 2: It's a lesson learning lesson.

421
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like a little bit of an asshole

422
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: move by OP to like rub into him. But I

423
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: do think maybe if OP is saying like, hey, if

424
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: you don't want this happen again, like this is what

425
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: you should do. Give advice from that perspective, but I

426
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: think laying into him while the sun is raw is

427
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: kind of like a little mean.

428
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, I know.

429
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: What do you guys think? Put your answers to the commons.

430
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: But we're gonna get into this next story.

431
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: Dude, speed ring a machine over here.
