Speaker 1 (00:00):
We excluded my brother's rude girlfriend from our wedding. She
threw a fit before got Hi. Everyone, I'm in a
tough spot and not sure if I'm in the wrong.
Don't worry I We'll tell you John, What do you
think wrong or right? Wrong? I thirty male, am getting
married in three months to my fiance, twenty eight female,

(00:20):
which is the same age as my mom birthed me.
Nice and we decided to keep the ceremony pretty small,
about fifty guests, mostly close family and dear friends. We
don't really have the money for any more people. And
by the way, this comes from Joseph Wedder And if
you want us to make your own stories, go to
our slash okay story Times thought about it. So, my
brother thirty five male, has been dating a woman let's

(00:43):
call her thirty two female Anna, for about a year.
They're not married and don't live together yet, but they're
clearly serious. However, Anna has been a problem since the beginning.
In the few instances we've interacted, she's made some snide
comments about my fiance and our away wedding choices. For example,
she criticized the fact that we're having a child free wedding,

(01:05):
She said, our menu sounds too bas We chose traditional
Italian food, nothing fancy. What do you have? Do you
have something wrong with pasta salami?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (01:18):
You know what? I only want to know one thing.
Where's the goubba goolaboles? Love my cousin's fresh seedy? Come on,
it's delicious. Hah. I've been watching a lot of sopranos,
so I know a lot of Italian dishes now. Once
in front of the whole family, she joked that she
doesn't see our marriage lasting long. My fiance feels uncomfortable

(01:41):
around Anna, and honestly I do too. When we sent
out the invitations, we only included my brother, assuming the
reason would be obvious. We don't want, you know, with all.
Get her off the guest list, get her off off
with her head. Put her in the stocks. Oh man,
give her some cement. Use you love those stocks? Water

(02:02):
float to the bottom of the ocean. Oh geez, you know,
maybe she can annoy some fish. Well, it wasn't. When
Anna found out she wasn't invited, she blew up explosion
enough to melt steel beams, they say. She called me
saying it's a matter of respect. As my brother's partner.

(02:25):
She would automatically get an invite. The auto invite. My
brother agrees with her and even threatened not to come
if we don't invite her to. Now my parents have
stepped in, saying it's just one day and we should
try to keep the peace in the family. But my
fiance and I feel like inviting Anna would mean sacrificing

(02:46):
our comfort on one of the most important days of
our lives. And Anna is literally in the pew being
like that she ain't gonna last while they're getting married, like,
doude take that person to be your your thing forever.
She's like, no way, no way they could do that.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Does anyone object?

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah? She a hope, Yeah, she a hope. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
And I'm not telling you need to go Jesus, but
you can definitely can't stay here.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, I'll send you to Jesus door, hit you with
a good Lord, split you. But my fiance and I
feel like Infridianna had been sacrificing one of the most
important desent in her lives. I don't want to exclude
my brother, but I don't think I'm obligated to invite
someone who has been disrespectful to us. So am I

(03:29):
the a hole. We're going to dive into it. But chat,
what do you think, John, what do you think? Let
me know I think and reminds me again of the
of the crimes of it. Crimes. Well, they're crimes against humanity,
dear sir, they're crimes against all things that are good. First. Yes, Oh,
Pea's brother's girlfriend, who they're serious by the way, said

(03:52):
that won't last long to her marriage telling you about
the marriage, and has talked about how Italian food ain't
up to snuff. Wow, which Italian cuisine? I would like
to say, the backbone of this country, right. And it's
just a general toolbag, just a bag of tools, none
of them useful. Actually, it's like a bag. It's like
a bag of tools. But like all the tools are

(04:15):
like those like like not the Phillips heads. They're the
they're the flat ones. Yeah right, No, Phillips head is
is four. It's like it's like, imagine what Phillips head
looks like, looks at your head looks it looks like
a domet Oh yeah, I got that dome piece, got
that domeb you get that dumb but yeah, no that
and it does not deserve.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Okay, At first I was thinking like, hey, if if
anyone doesn't want to come, if you don't want someone
to come to your wedding, it's generally your wedding, like like,
do what you want? Hearing the crimes listed back out again,
other than her being like a like just something like
oh this person just sucks, I don't Those two things

(04:54):
she said are definitely terrible, but I I don't know
if that's worth it it yet have her at your wedding,
your wedding, John, thinking about you like her so much?

Speaker 1 (05:08):
I don't love my saying sounds like you love her. No,
I don't not, No, I do not, John wats to Marianna.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
That is completely.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
All right? Yeah? Does that he annoying? Yeah? Yeah, that's
I'm talking out there? You go. I thought we almost
lost the bum. Oh man man was in it was
in hot water.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
Yeah, we should have a picture of his girlfriend like
right there, so like he never acts up again.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
I could just go, yeah, yes, it would be funny
to have a picture of it at the back, like
her face like John this, uh yes, some comments. You
are absolutely not obligated to invite someone, and you have

(06:06):
multiple valid reasons Quan, you chose to have a small
wedding with limited guests, which is absolutely your prerogative. She's
repeatedly made snide comments about your wedding choices. She's even
gone so far as to say she doesn't see the
marriage lasting long. Who would ever invite someone who felt
like that about their marriage to come celebrate it with them?

(06:28):
Keeping the family peace should be said more often to
the problem person, not the victims of the crappy behavior.
Why aren't your parents encouraging your brother to keep the
peace by accepting your choices for your own wedding. He
also needs to understand that his girlfriend's own crappy behavior
is the reason she's not invited. At the end of

(06:49):
the day, i'd stand year ground. He can either attend
or not. And likewise for your parents, Oh extends to
the parents. So you got a reply from people, What
do you think of that?

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah, I mean parents, and like already at the brother,
I'm like, I mean I want my brother. You know
what I think this is? I feel like they're like.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Well, if you want the parents to come, why don't
you there?

Speaker 3 (07:13):
You are going to the ocean parents, ocean brother, ocean aunts, cousins,
uncle's ocean ocean.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Ocean, ocean ocean. Yeah, like nineteen seventies trash, like, Oh,
if we just shoot all the traps at the ocean.
Oh wow, that'll be fine. That's that's crazy. They did that.
I'm doing it. That's great, Okay, cool, I'll do it. Yeah,
But what do you really think, John.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
I really think that man like the brother is already
like I want to invite the brother now the parents like,
I don't know, like unless again, unless we get a
list of like other thing reasons why they're being disrespectful
to Ope. I don't have enough evidence yet, they deserve
to be uninvited. I know it's serious. I know the
anti series with the brother, but give us more details

(07:57):
because I don't have enough yet.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Well, John, I am. I'm so glad you asked, because
we got a reply from the one the only Opie.
Opie replied, thank you for all this. You've summed up
my feelings better than I could have myself. I completely
agree that keeping the peace should be directed at the
person causing the conflict, not to the people dealing with it.

(08:21):
My parents seem to think that keeping my brother happy
is the easiest way to avoid trauma, but that just
leaves me and my fiance to carry the burden. It's
frustrating because we've done nothing to provoke Annah. Her behavior
is the root issue here. As much as I want
my brother there, I feel like inviting someone who openly

(08:43):
disrespects us would set a bad precedent for the future.
And also it's just like it's like bad vibes, like
it could invite bad, bad spirits and bad juju into
your wedding ceremony. It's true. It's it's like if you're
becoming a made man and you see a crow in
the window, Like, I mean, what does that mean? There's
a crow in the window, in the window, it's in
the window. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but

(09:04):
it could be a bad thing. It's not just about
the wedding day, though, It's about standing up for what
it's right, for what's right. It's about standing up for
what's right. Say it again, Say it again. Ah, the
luke you preach to us, because we will tell you.
Oh yeah, If that cost me some family goodwill, I

(09:27):
guess that's a trade I am willing to make. Thanks
again for the validation. Sometimes you just need to hear
from someone else to be less crazy. But guess what,
there's the story oh my coming to just tell him?
She doesn't support your marriage. And as this day is
literally you getting married, why would she want to come. Also,
the wedding is child free, so she couldn't come anyway.

(09:53):
That is good.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Two going crazy? I love to see it.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Say it again A good say it a good say
it a good what say it all? Good? Also, the
wedding is child free, so she couldn't come any Ask
your parents why you can't keep the bees in the
family for joth one, gosh tharn day looks like they

(10:22):
have revealed who the golden child is. And Nope, he replied. Actually,
my parents are very protective about me, but sometimes it
seems like this makes them feel guilty about my brother,
so they became extra sensitive about issues between us. Don't
know if this makes sense and comment Three, unless your
parents are paying, they have no say. You don't have

(10:42):
to like who your sibling does. Do what you want
at your wedding. If people don't like it, they're not
people who have you'll back. Ope, he replied, thank you. No,
we did it with our only with our own strength.
Also because we wanted to do it on our own terms,
in terms of not having their parents pay for it. Yeah,

(11:03):
and we got a little update. Oh baby, Hi everyone.
Thank you so much for your comments and advice on
my original post. It was incredibly helpful to read different perspectives,
and I'm happy to share an update now that the
situation has been resolved. Oh. After reflecting on everything, I

(11:23):
decided to have a direct conversation with my brother. I
explained that decision to not invite Anna wasn't about disrespecting
their relationship, but about the hurtful comments she made. That's true,
that's big facts. That is big facts, biggest effects, and
how they made my fiance and me feel. I told
him that our wedding is a day for us to

(11:46):
feel safe and support it, and I wasn't willing to
compromise on that. At first, my brother was defensive, but
eventually he admitted he hadn't realize how much Anna's words
had affected us. So I also made it clear that
if Anna truly wanted to come, would need to reach
out to us. I acknowledge the past behavior and commit
to being respectful at the wedding. To my surprise, Anna

(12:07):
actually texted me yesterday, she apologized for her comments, saying
she didn't realize how much they hurt us. She promised
to behave appropriately and assured me that she wanted to
celebrate our big day without causing drama. Pause here, Hey,
do we want that? Do we like that? Do we
want it? Do we like it? I mean I like it?

Speaker 3 (12:26):
I like it a lot? Do we like it enough
to bring her back in the wedding? Is it enough
evidence against a from.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
What we know? Long history of long long history, long history. Well,
I'm still cautious. I appreciated her effort and sincerity, so
I agreed to let her come with clear boundaries in place.
One thing I really want to highlight is how much
my parents stepped up after our initial conversations when I
told them how important it was for my fiance me

(12:57):
to feel supported. They even talked to my brother. It
reminded him that this is our day and that respecting
our choices should be the priority. Their support made a
huge difference and honestly strengthened my resolve to stick to
what felt right for us. The final agreement is this,
Anna will attend the wedding. The problem person is there?

(13:18):
WHOA yeah, big moves, big moves. But oh, only under
the condition that she respect our boundaries. If there's any
inappropriate behavior, my fiance and I reserve the right to
ask her to leave by force by beheading. Wow, that's
leave this earth. Leave this Earth's pretty intense. Yep, pretty streme.

(13:39):
We'll keep the head there though body leaves head on
the chair. Oddly specific. You can still you can still
watch your ghost Your ghosts will be there. Question if
you get decapitated, do you does your body stay? Does
your ghost stay with the body or the head?

Speaker 3 (13:55):
If I get to capitated, is my ghost stay with
the body?

Speaker 1 (13:58):
With it? Who doesn't stay with either goes, nothing gets
past him, nothing gets past him, goes to ghostland. If
there's any inappropriate behavior at my fiance and I reserve
the right to ask her to leave. She agreed. My
brother seemed relieved that we found a solution. We're now
feeling much more at peace and excited about the wedding.
Thank you again to everyone who commented. You gave the

(14:20):
clarity and confidence to navigate this situation in a way
that worked for us. We have some comments to all
the people still crying about whether the apology was genuine
or not. You clearly don't understand how to handle real
life situations. It doesn't matter if she meant it. What
matters is that the responsibility is off my shoulders and
on to my brother. If she screws up, She's finally
the one who will take the fall and I won't

(14:41):
have to deal with the follout. That's how you handle
people like this. You don't waste time demanding sincerity from
someone who's already shown you who they are. You put
them in a position where they have everything to lose,
Sit back and move on with your life. Try it sometime.
Woa Opie is not holding back, just really just going
for it over. Yeah, just gonna stop ping wings. That's

(15:06):
a bullet kind of like so out and it's like, yeah,
is like killing everyone out, all the all the wedding
guests are now all city capitated, all.

Speaker 4 (15:15):
The heads and the ghost like that scene in Guardian
whenever he has.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yes yeah, yeah, yes, yes, yes exactly. That was for Sam,
not you. Yeah, I've seen them all. Maybe I haven't. No,
you've definitely seen one. You've had one, Yeah, Yeah, you
saw the second one, didn't you on the plane, the
one with the grandpa. Yeah, yeah, you told me about
that one. Maybe find you know, but he's in that one.
I'm so glad to hear things worked out in the end.
It sounds like you handle the situation with a lot
of maturity and care. Setting clear boundaries and having that

(15:44):
direct conversation with your brother was the right move, y'ad do. Yep,
it's great that Anna took responsibility for comments and that
your parents had the bat your back into supporting your decisions.
It must feel like a weight has been lifted, and
I'm sure your wedding will be much more peaceful and
enjoyable now, Wishing you and your fans all the best.

(16:04):
There we go and Op replies, Definitely a big old
wait has been lifted from my shoulders and now I
can enjoy the process and update too. We got another
update in this house. Updates on update, updates on updates.
So many this house is like that one scene and
Harry Potter one where all the letters are flying in
and it's like each letter is a new update, and

(16:26):
Harry's grabbing room grabbing, room grabbing. It was like, oh
my god, there's so many updates, and.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
Then whenever you open them, they're always in order because
it's magic.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
We do. Yeah, exact magic, magic magic.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
That's what we need to do for our Dono printer
V two. They're magic flying letters and they just fly
around and then we have.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Our faces and it's like you, you know when they
do the Harry Potter pictures and there's like, yeah, Eddie,
get on that. Yeah Eddie, what are you doing? Figure
it out? Guys? Wake up? Update all right, since some
people are still questioning whether Anna's apology was genuine or
if her brother actually wrote it for her, Honestly, I

(17:05):
don't care. What matters is that she did it, whether
she mentioned or not. The responsibility for her behavior has
now shifted entirely on too. My brother. He vouched for her.
He convinced me to let her come, and now she
does anything, the blame will be on her, not me.
Here we go. Everyone in the family now fully understands
who the real problem is, so I no longer have
to stress about trying to prove anything. If she screws up,

(17:27):
She's the one who will face the consequences, and I
won't have to lift a finger. By the way, hmm,
I don't want you to have to face the consequences
for not listening to our podcast that's released twice every day.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
You don't want to see those consequences.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
The consequence, says, will be dire if you don't go
to Apple Podcasts or Spotify and listen to this podcast.
You could do it while at a wedding. You could
do it while at a funeral. You could do it
at four weddings and a funeral. You could do it
while looking into the eyes eyes of a man with
a middle part and glasses. It's more so left. But

(18:05):
that's okay, that's you go listen to the podcast. But
we got a little bit more to this story. At
the end of the day, I don't need her to
be a friend. I don't need to trust her, and
I definitely don't need to care about whether her apology
was heartfelt or just damage control. Do we need care?

Speaker 3 (18:18):
I mean, I do think it is important, but I
guess it and I don't. They're like, oh, it's magically cured.
Like I mean, the family could still go through their
stupid Olympic Olympic level logic and be like, oh, why
did you get her out of Da DA So I
don't know that it, Like, is this like magical thing
that solves their problems. But to Opie's point, it does
kind of very much help and alleviate. I would hope

(18:40):
it's genuine, My goodness, I don't.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Think it's genuine. I think it's a bunch of bolooney.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Basically from what OPI's saying, it seems like.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
I think it's I think I think it potentially. I
think that the bolooney potential is like fairly high. But
maybe she's been like shamed into behaving now, yeah, yeah,
I think I think exactly. I think there we have
a behavioral shift originating from shame. But you know, sometimes, uh,
that's what you gotta do. If you're playing the game.
Sometimes what you gotta do, what you gotta do. All

(19:09):
I care about is that she knows she's on thin ikes.
My brother is the one keeping her in check. And
if she's so much as breathes wrong at my wedding,
breathes wrong, yeah, give me, give me a wrong breath.
Yeah that that. I don't want that at my wedding
discuss Yeah that neither. Oh yeah, yeah, don't want it.

(19:31):
I don't want any of that. I don't want any
of that out. She is the one who will burn
for it not me. Oh good. So yeah, I'm done
worrying about this. Whatever happens happens, and I'll enjoy my
wedding regardless. Thanks again to everyone who gave solid advice.
I really appreciate it. We got some comments. Yo, Ope,
please make sure she's on the end of group wedding photos.

(19:54):
Easier to leave when your brother sees the lights jes hope,
he replied. I actually laughed out loud. Good pe advice man,
and coming to you. Why does someone insist so much
to come to a wedding where they're not wanted they hope,
he replied. I think it's a matter of principles and appearance.
At the same time, it would look bad for my
brother's couple to not be together, and she still wants
to feel part of the family. Not coming, she would

(20:16):
feel rejected also by my parents, and that is where
this story ends. Whoa, but this next story just begins. Oh,
because with every door closing, another one open. There we go, baby,
So we got another story for you. But yeah that

(20:39):
I think OP has the right mindset. I think OP
has the right mindset. I'm not convinced this person's going
to be good, but I think she may have been
shamed into being good. Yeah, I think there's a higher probability. Yeah,
I think so.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
My sister accused me of abandoning her just because I
have a boyfriend.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
You shouldn't date your sister. That's true. If you love
your boyfriend so much, one does just marry him and
then cut out your sister and really abandoned her.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Good advice, so to prevus. I am twenty five and
my sister is twenty eight. I am the youngest of
four siblings, but the others are not important to the story.
My family is close knit but hectic. Despite this, I love.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
Them greatly and have always been grateful for everything they
have sacrificed for me.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
By the way, this comes from the Salt Supermarket. And
if you want to submit your own stories, go to
our touch Okay story time, separate it.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
And send them in now onto the mess.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
Until about seven months ago, I lived with my sister
for five years while I attended university. We are best
ease and have always enjoyed the same things. She sacrificed
a lot for me, paying for living expenses my paycheck
couldn't cover. She had her own stuff going on. That
is not my place to talk about. But the results
was a lot of arguing, a lot of me saying

(21:45):
yes and being a people pleaser because it was easier than.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Trying to argue and stand up for what I wanted.
Boo boo, what you mean stand up for yourself? Yeah,
but do it nicely? But do it nicely? Yeah, kindly?
But yeah like lost and kind please people in the
way that will really please them by telling them what
you really think. Whoa in a kind way?

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Bam gotam hack there it is.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
So.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
I've since grown from this and live a much better,
non toxic lifestyle. During those years, I was desperate to
live on my own. Despite this, I still loved and
still do love my sister. I've grown exhausted from this
type of relationship, though. I want a supportive sister that
I could go to, and not a sister that dumps
all of her problems on me because she thinks I'm
her therapist or something. I graduated with my degrees and

(22:30):
now have a full time job in the same town
with my own place, live in Big.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Ballin Let's go.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
We actually live in the same apartment complex, a decision
that was made mostly for my mother's sake. She wanted
to know that we could go to each other if
there was problems we ran into, think card troubles, bill issues,
things like that.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
I mean, I think that's fine, sure, as long as
you're not like it. I feel like that's a little
bit too close to live with family, you know.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
Tell them Sam sell them. Yeah, that's too clear. Imagine
living that.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
That would be nuts. I would never. I would literally
never do it. Yeah, literally never do it. You would
never in your life.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
So, about four to five months ago, I started dating
my boyfriend. We've known each other for two years and
I've liked him the entire time. I love him so much.
The I know this is the man I'm going to
marry kind of love. He's always by my side and
just amazing. And we kept it a secret for a while,
and I wasn't comfortable having it be a public thing.

(23:31):
When I was comfortable with the idea of bringing it
to my family, I called my mom first that idea.
I will get to why, so stay tuned. She was
happy for me, and we chatted for a while about him.
I asked for advice on telling my sister because she's
always been kind of judgmental about my friends and past
relationship interests. Also, my whole family has always been way

(23:54):
too interested in my relationships. My mom didn't really give
me any though, So I thought hard about it and
decided I just bring it up to the whole family
at Christmas about three months into my relationship.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
I'm just I'm just gonna you know, just pure speculation here.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
But you put your seeing and I see you if
you don't want to, if you're like skeptical of like
telling your family for like the first few months, why
do you think Christmas is the best place? That is
like the that is like the highest stakes like introduction possible.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yeah, you are not wrong. Christmas is crazy, dude, But
I do think they're like there exists a culture of like, oh,
like are you bringing home? Like are you bringing home
someone for Christmas? I feel like there's often like that's
like the that usually is the holiday in which one

(24:48):
introduces their significant out there to their family, that is Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
But he's like, my family is hectic and it's only
three months in disaster.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
I don't know if I would do that. Possibly, I
don't know if I would do that.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
It's a but come Christmas, my family knew guess who
told them my mother. I kind of knew that this
was coming. My momy yaps a lot, but even though
I told her not to say anything, she still did.
It made me feel so angry, betrayed, and sad, sad
that I didn't get the chance to say anything to
my family first. This greatly upset.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
My sister, though the same sister from the title, and
I didn't know until about two weeks ago. She asked
me to help out with the presentation for class. I
mentioned i'd be over shortly and my boyfriend was currently
at my place, but is perfectly capable of being alone.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Just some light jokes to breach the boyfriend topic in
a casual way, so.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
She doesn't tell her I have a boyfriend. She just
like throws it out there, sprinkles it as a casual joke.
I think that's fine. I think that's fun. What do
you think, che I think I think the sister's gonna
go banana wanat Klana's. But you didn't tell me. He
just told me.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
It wasn't official, so I don't matter. I am just dirt.
The dirts didn't know about your boyfriend.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
And neither did I. Worse than dirt scum that's what
I'm predicting. Pondscum. Pawn scum.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
Again, this was a terrible thing to say, apparently because
she got really cold, and when I went over, she
blew up into an argument, telling me that I've abandoned her,
that I don't care about her and never to talk.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
With her anymore. Wait, seriously, that is what That's wild?
That is so over the top.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
No, I'm cutting off contact. That is so you didn't
tell me. You joked about telling me your boyfriend cut
off contact?

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Done? Goodbye? Uh, go go away? Drama, unnecessary drama. That's
so too pretty freaking extreme. Yeah, it's way that's too much.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
So she went on about her problems and how it's
all because of me having a boyfriend. Now a pause,
How the heck are her mental issues because of my
life and I reallyationship.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
I don't get it either.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
I consult her and apologize for not texting that much,
even if it's always been like that. I care about
my sister, I do. I love her a lot, but
I don't want to be my sister's best friend. I
have my own life. I'm trying to live and navigates.
I have ambitions, aspirations that I strive for and it's
obvious that my sister is jealous of that. There are

(27:22):
a lot of examples of this. Choose any important thing
in life. My graduation, upset and crying, crabby during the
photos and complaining my senior art showcase where I got
an award, made my family late because she was self
conscious and crying, made them leave early afterwards. Me getting
a full time.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Job, same kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
How how can you get upset of someone getting a
full time job.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Because she's jealous? Because she's jealous, she's a big old jellyfish.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
So you got a job and didn't even offer me one.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah, you'd even give me a cut. Wow.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
Here, I was being a great sister all the years.
You didn't give me a freaking fifteen percent.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
She thinks she's being a great sister, but I think
she's a sister that lacks any scruples. Scruples, No scruples.
There's not a scruple, insight, I was looking. I was
looking for a scruple. No scruples. What is that? What?
What's the scroup? What's a scruple? You never heard of
the word of scrupulous? Don't ask them, don't ask them

(28:24):
unscrupulous person. No tell, I'm Sam Well. An unscrupulous person
is a person who has no scruples. That's so true.
Unscrupulous means no morals, no values. Oh okay, okay, okay,
there's the definition. Yeah, LMEO, what did you find? No scruples?
That's what I found, not a one deep digging researched one.

(28:45):
Back to my relationship, though not that long ago. At
a birthday party for a friend, my sister kind of
cons me into being the designated driver because she wants
to drink. Okay, I do too, but of course I
can't say no to her or it's an issue.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
So I drive down the street to the party. It
gets to be about twelve thirty one am and I
am exhausted. I want to leave, and my sister she
ignores me. I tell her more firmly that I want
to leave and that she can stay to call me
or have her friend that lives across the hall from
where the party was taking place to take her home something,
you know, anyway, more problems. More words, she is convinced

(29:22):
that I am leaving her to walk alone at three
am because I don't give a crap about our.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
I walk this lonely road, only one that I have
ever known. Don't know where it goes bad. It's holy
me hell walk alone, were near.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
When new Liz I walk there street, We're gonna get
you monetarized, so yelling and arguing in the middle of
the party where neither is know only the host and
the birthday person.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
I am embarrassed and starting to cry, so I leave
into the hallway, sobbing at how she was treating me.
I'm in the hallway and can still hear her ranting
and raving to the other people. But I don't give
a crap about her. How I'm selfish And it all
started because I got a boyfriend. Oh no, dude, bro
crashing out, sisters crashing out.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
It seems I mean, she's probably just like built her
whole maybe life around being jealous of her sister or something.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
And also I think she like depends on her as
her like like like basically has someone depends on their
like romantic partner, their husband or wife, Like she's like, Okay,
you're just gonna like take everything yeah for me even
more even worse. And I didn't even tell her when
I got my friend, how I never talked to her
unless I need something or to complain.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
But if you need.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Something, if you need like two thousand episodes of something
of of something something special, oh something goofy, something that.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Will just get your you hot, and Bob do, I
got the gift for you.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Okay, Storytime full episodes on Spotify, on Apple Podcast, just
search Okay Storytime, appreci it and it's all right there,
all right there two thousand hours of full episodes. So
listen to more than two thousand hours, more than two
thousand hours.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
We have more to the story. Actually a good, good
bit left, a good chunk.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
But sisters absolutely crashing out saying all of these things.
I feel like we're kind of reaching an impasse here.
What do we do? We are op, what do we do?

Speaker 1 (31:27):
I think what we do here? Change your name, go
into the hills, Wow, create a new life. We'll move
away from sister because I think, I mean, I'm kiding
about that. But the sister like knows where you live,
you know, she lives in the same building down the hall.
I feel like she can like really mess up your life.
I think it's gonna be hard to create like a
barrier boundary here. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
And also little thing I'm picking up on. But like
the mom stable was like, oh, I want you guys
to live together. I feel like the whole family is
kind of that. She's a little crazy, and she's like,
oh that's true. I didn't even think about that.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
But yeah, oh you deal with her, Yeah, you deal
with her. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Oh crap, if if Opie, if she can go and
knock on Opie's door, is she gonna call mom and
just yeap, yeaper, you're off for two hours.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
That is a excellent point, my dear Watson. Yeah, dude,
extremely shrewd deduction. I do, I really do think this
is uh uh, this is an offload of of the
sister because she's a little a little wacky oh.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Yeah, and very tacky. Oh yeah, but there is more.
It hurt hearing about how much she just hates me.
I'm embarrassed because she is wasted yelling in this party
of people that she doesn't know very well. I go
back to see if I.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Can get her to stop and if I'm taking her
home or not. She yells at me to just Effie leave. Yeah.
A little bit too much, too much, a little bit
too much?

Speaker 3 (32:57):
So I do I go sob in the stairwell with
the party host, who's a good friend of mine. She
consoles me through an awful panic attack and sobfest that
what my sister said was unwarranted and an awful thing
to say time and place, you know. She talks to
me about my boyfriend and calms me down enough for
me to drive home and call him. Overall, it was

(33:18):
the single most awful night of my life.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Oh and it.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
Wasn't even on my own wasted self that was the cost.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Come on, awful night of your life. That's rough. She
has yet to apologize for how she acted, and I
don't think she will because I have abandoned her for
my boyfriend. So am I the a hole? Before we
get into the comments, No, you're not the a hole.
The sister is a piece of work. That I mean.
I don't know how you deal with it, but I mean,

(33:47):
like you gotta set boundary somehow. But yeah, maybe it
be hard. It's like it feels like you're being offloaded.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
Yeah, maybe it's just like, hey, like I want to
be in your life, like I love you as my sister,
I do, but like if you keep doing stuff like
this like I'm it's.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
It's gonna be hard to have any kind of relationship
with you.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
It's gonna hard to be hard to want to continue
with you.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yeah, I'm not gonna want to continue, but we do
have to walk a lonely road. The only one that
I have ever known, only one, only one I have
ever known, is like, not gonna know where it goes,
not at all. But you know it's only me, and
you know I walk along, you do walk along. Yeah,
I don't know. Well, if you got us, Donna, you'll
never Dona done. No, No, don't doubt yourself.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
You do know, you do know, and we and I
want to know how this story ends, too well, Producer Riley,
I got you. We got some realm of comments with
commented number one. Why are you entertaining her crap? Stop
blaming your hijacker your life. No is a complete sentence.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
And frankly i'd block her and put her on a
six month no contact timeout. And you need therapy to
unpack why you let your family walk all over you.
Boundaries are a thing. Figure them out and set them
down hard. Don't let anyone, much less your mom or
your sister cross those hard boundaries, those rock hard boundaries,
and for the love of God, move put some distance

(35:07):
between you and your sister. Living in the same complex
isn't a good thing right now. Maybe try finding something
closer to your work, but at least a good thirty
minutes walking distance from her. You are not a child.
Stop letting them treat you like one, not the a hole.
And then commentary number two says, do you go to
her mostly to complain and when you need something? I
feel like I'm missing a huge piece here. She was

(35:29):
this selfless sister that's sacrificed to give you a better
life with her childhood. Now she's the devil.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Ope. He did mention that in the beginning, what am
I missing? Ope?

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Your response to that, I don't just go to complain.
I talk to her about our favorite games and shows
and all of that, just not twenty four to seven
like how it was living with her. I think part
of the change between us has been her own mental
struggle too. It's not like she talks to me about
that though, Like how I'm still private about parts of
my life. I'm not upset with her for not confiding

(35:59):
in me, but she upset that I don't. I don't
understand what she wants from me, and then Opie also
says this in the comment section, a comment for everyone
who has given me advice on this, thank you so
much for your kind words and tough love. I felt
very much alone in this until I can fight it in.
My boyfriend about it and decided to mention it here.
He has one hundred percent by my side, and I

(36:19):
think he would have some strong words if he'd met
my sister. I'm definitely going to consider low contact with
my sister.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
I think that's like, I think that's necessary at this point.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
I liked your earlier idea in another story of time
out timeouts, that that timeouts that are increasing with time.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
So it's like your first time out is like a month,
and then if you do something whack, then it's two months.
There's four months those eight months.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
Because it kind of builds in like, hey, you have
some time to like think about and you know, come
correct back to me, and it also gives you some
space and you know it's it's an elegant solution.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Elegant solution, right, I'm all about that elegance. Oh yes
he is. You see the top of his head, elist gentleman.
Oh baby, now that's for my mom.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
I'm not sure what to do with her. Therapy has
been considered for a while regarding my family, and this
situation has pushed me into it to actually find it,
fingers crossed that things will get better. If they don't,
I might just have to run away with my partner.
Oh no, what a terrible thought.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Sarcastic. I see uop, And that's it. That's it, and
that's it. That's freaking it, you know.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
Oh so I think basically just what we said, you know,
have at least some sort of space and distance yea
from his sister. She's doing too much.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
I think that's it.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
You're doing absolutely too much.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Yeah, my cousin promised a concert ticket to my fiance,
then sold it behind her backs and played victim. How
dare you you? Capitalist? Pig?

Speaker 3 (37:46):
Not for tea swizzle.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
It sounds like entrepreneurship right there. No buckle up, This
is a long and stupid story. Oh we love those.
Me twenty six female and my twenty nine female fiance
I will call her have been together for five and
a half years, getting married in eight months. Longtime listener,
first time writing in when Taylor Swift tickets went up

(38:09):
for sale, my twenty female cousin, I will call her
d got floor seats for eight hundred bucks.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Do you realize that is a steal?

Speaker 1 (38:19):
How much your swift tickets.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Bro an arm and a leg? And I don't know
ey'm the swifty. I just know they're an arm and
a leg. Eight hundred is for timingy tickets too.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
I got floor seats for a hundred. I don't know
if it's eight hundred each, but I think that's a chat.
Let them know. Yeah, that sounds great. These were the
original verified Fans sale tickets. By the way, this comes
from Immediate Escape nine thirty six and if you want
to submit your own stories, go to our slash Okay
storytime sub wrote it so out by the time, my
cousin was dating somebody and planned to take them. They
broke up, so my cousin offered eight ticket to s.

(38:50):
They planned and a bought matching outfits and texted about
it for almost a full year. Then on October seventeenth,
d Doug. I'm gonna say, Doug faced time so my
fiance to tell her she forgot. She put them on
stub hub ten months ago and sold the tickets for
eight thousand dollars. We love times the price she purchased

(39:13):
them for through a verified fan sale. YEO, probably just profit.
That's crazy, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
I'm telling you. I'm telling you that the eight hundred
dollars was nothing.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
It was unfortunate as my cousin was one of the
few lucky fans that actually got tickets at face value
and then still ended up selling them for an enormous markup.
But besides that, it was hard for me to believe
that this was entirely an accident, as to put them
up on StubHub you would need to click. I agree.
Many times she has said she forgot they were there

(39:48):
and promised it was an accident, but then also said
she avoided checking her stub Hub because she didn't want
to see if they were gone. She was never transparent
with us that the tickets she had prom missed run
stub Hub prior to all this happening so really quick.
This person whose guy breaks up with a girlfriend, it's like, hey,
I'm going to take your fiance the cousin, Right, that's

(40:11):
what happened, Right, it's still his tickets. It's like kind
of a lame to like promise it, but it's like
still his tickets, you know. Yeah, and also asking a
dude to be like, yeah, take my fiance or lose
eight grand, like is a rough choice to have someone make. Yeah,
still like Dick moved to not tell them, yes, yes,

(40:31):
of course, but I understand like the you know, that's
a difficult choice to make.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
And I have literally done that before where I put
a ticket like on resale and completely forgot about it
and I was like, oh, yeah, I'm going to go
to this ticket was gone. I've literally had that happen before,
So I think it is a plausible scenario.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Yeah, especially maybe it was like maybe it was like
you put it on and you forgot that you put
it like you put it on immediately forgot you put
it on, and then but you have to have you
have to agree to the price that the well, for.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
Me, the one I did it was like in the platform,
so it was like one click and you're done, right,
So it was in the the checkout, Yeah, I was
like less of a whole thing.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
So I don't know, but they could be lone. Deirdre
said to Sally she was going to try to repurchase
tickets with the money she sold them for and would
keep in touch if prices went down and she was
able to find some. Everyone was devastated, of course, but
Sally said to Deirdre, I work full time. I don't
have time to look for more tickets, so I'm leaving
that completely in your hands. And Deirdre fully agreed and

(41:32):
said she understood and was doing ticket researching. It's important
to add on a FaceTime call. Sally was completely crushed
by this news, but did not blame Deirdre for this
and wasn't angry with her. Okay, that's good. Yeah. October eighteenth,
my friend reached out to me that they had an
extra ticket. Their partner offered up her ticket so Sally
could go, and I jumped at the opportunity, paid two
hundred dollars for nosebleed seats just so I knew she

(41:55):
wouldn't be missing out on the opportunity. If Deirdre had
reached out and told me she repurchased ticket and still
planned to take Sally, we would have given the ticket back,
as the plan was always still for Sally and Deirdre
to find a way to go together. From October seventeenth
to November fifteenth, Deirdre had zero communication with us said
nothing about buying more tickets, so Sally did not mention

(42:17):
the ticket offered by my best friend to protect her
feelings and so she didn't feel bad or left out
if she was never able to repurchase tickets. On November eleventh,
Deirdre saw on Instagram story posted by my friend who
offered the ticket, tagging Sally saying how excited she was
for the concert. Deir detected Sally about the story, and

(42:37):
Sally said, yes, she had one ticket to go. She
apologized for not telling her about it and not communicating
that Deirdre never answered her message. Then, on the day
of the concert, Deirdre posted on Instagram she had repurchased
more front row seats and was at the concert with
her mom, whoa I think as like a fumm, I'm here.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
With my mom, but not you, I'm front row baby.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
To be honest, I did one hundred percent fantastically text
her and say have fun at the concert. It was
pretty obvious at this point that Deirdre was upset that
Sally was now going with someone else. This caused a
fight over the next two days later, which led to
a FaceTime call that she wanted her mom to be
there for but I said no, because we were all
adults and don't need our moms to resolve conflicts. During

(43:23):
the call, Deirdre demanded Sally apologize for not telling her
she had purchased another ticket. She had already apologized over
text before, but still apologize again on the call. Deirdre
also made her apologize for not advising her of the
tickets to spare her feelings, because in her mind, she
is an adult and can handle her own emotions really quickly.
On that, I do think that is like a mess

(43:45):
up on their part to not say that they purchased
more tickets. I totally agree. It's definitely a failure of
communication on both sides for sure, But I do think
there is some failure to communicate on op side totally.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
You just be like, hey, we're getting this ticket like
just in case, like basically as a backup in case
you don't find anything easy. Yeah, right, you know, just
to make sure like any reasonable person I feel like
would understand that.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Yeah, because of her mind, she's an adulting can handle
her own emotions. Even went as far as to say,
how dare you tell me what I would and would
not be upset over Deirdre dragged about getting better seats
second time around, said, I got to see Taylor Swift.
Instill made two and a half thousand dollars. You robe
it in my face. All tickets, outfits, hotels are purchased

(44:32):
for the show. We're on our mom's credit cards. She
spent none of her own money. I bought Sally the
backup ticket. I drove us five hours to the concert venue.
I found us last minute place to stay because all
hotels were fifteen hundred dollars a night. Yikes. My poor
fiance had pneumonia for three weeks leading up to the concert.
Not overly important to the story, but important to me.
And during the FaceTime call, I said that I will

(44:53):
never understand how somebody could accidentally put front row Taylor
Swift tickets on stub Hub and avoid checking if they saw.
Deirdred demanded I understand that she and her own words
had no clue. I put them up for sale. Nobody
could agree, so it took two months apart and we
didn't speak. Fast forward to yesterday. I got a very long,
aggressive text from Deirdre that starts with this is the

(45:14):
last time I'm reaching out before I give up she's
demanding I apologize for dragging this on for so long
and treating her like a child and not an equal
in the situation. And if I can't apologize for my
faults in this situation, that she doesn't want to continue
a relationship with me, I'm not going to want to
continue a relationship with you if you don't freaking listen
to our podcast that we release every weekday and weekend

(45:36):
multiple times a day. Oh now, you can listen while
you're doing other stuff, So listen to our podcast on Spotify,
Apple Podcasts by just searching. Okay, storytime, freaking do it.
We got a little bit more to this story really quick.
But what do you think about uh Ohpe's need to
apologize in the situation?

Speaker 3 (45:52):
I think kind of, like what we were saying a
minute ago, everyone's kind of done something wrong at some
point in this story, and I feel like what should
have been said was, hey, look, you know, I realized
I might have messed up, but you know, initially with
not keeping a better track, But honestly, I was hurt
when I realized that she was she was going without

(46:13):
me and that's my friend, and like this is gonna
be this like great thing, and like I'm hurt and
honestly like, look, I apologize for what I would be wrong,
but I do want to hear an apology from from
y'all as well. Like I feel like the energy she's
reaching out with is just gonna kind of lead to
she's like, you know, come apologize me, or it's over
and we're not gonna talk to you. I feel like
that's just what's gonna happen with this kind of energy.

Speaker 1 (46:34):
That's that I think. Yeah, I agree, whack energy from
her side, but also a little whack energy from op side.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Yeah, every everyone's done something wrong in this story.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
Everyone kind of sucks here. But it's a quote from
one of her texts, Sally got to go to the concert.
If you can't see how she played just as big
a part in the misunderstanding as I did, then that's
on you. She neglected to tell me she had another ticket.
I guess in hopes to go twice or like she said,
so she wouldn't hurt my feelings, which is due because
I'm not a child. She is somehow bringing in that.
We never offered to help her pay for anything, but

(47:05):
we never got to that stage. The tickets were sold
a month before going and if anything, I would be
talking to my aunt about it, considering she was the
one that spent all the money. And there are some
comments and they say, not the a hole. It sounds
like the cousin is mad your fiance didn't miss out.
You did good. This is exactly how a thoughtful partner behaves,
and not the a hole. I feel like the cousin
never sold her ticket and just wanted to go with

(47:26):
her mom instead. Whyless the ticket for sale in the
first place if you intend on going together makes no sense.
And nope, he replied. Her reasoning for selling a ticket
was I'm a nosy which and wanted to see how
much money I could get from them instead of simply
checking stub hub and seeing what other people were selling
their tickets for another reply, Yeah, I highly doubt she
actually sold them. Here's the thing. If she did, she

(47:48):
wouldn't have magically gotten two more front row tickets for
the concert for her and her mom. Even if her
mom paid, they would have been astronomical. She had no
intention on taking your wife, huh to any screenshots or
any real proof that tickets were sold.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
I mean so like my understanding is like when you're
on the generally, like when you're on the floor, it's
like basically you can get right up to the stage
and then a lot of like arenas. The seats are
actually like around the floor, so you're actually like way
further back. So I think it is possible that the
front row seats were actually like way cheaper than the
floor seats. Yeah, and that she's still like would have

(48:25):
been six and a half grand. Yeah, I know that
is two floor seats are way more expensive. Yeah, So
I feel like that is plausible that she still had
a little leftover after getting too front receipts oh.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
He says, I do know for a fact she sold
the original tickets. They were sections B one front row
floor tickets on the right side of the stage, and
her second purchase tickets were directly in front of the
diamond coming through. This is so bizarre. I don't think
anyone is blaming her for selling the tickets for ak
that's smart, But to then be mad that your fiance
was offered the opportunity to go is childish. It seems
like she was being petty and she could have gotten

(48:57):
tickets early, but didn't really try until Sally had another option,
so stupid fight, especially because she's acting like a child.
He says, I hear you ak's ak, but from the
get go, she should have communicated they were on StubHub.
Comment for not the a hole. You cannot accidentally put
tickets for sale on stub Hub. I've sold tickets there
at face value because scalping sucks and it takes multiple

(49:19):
steps and nope, replied. She claims she's a dumb butt
and doesn't read any of the terms and conditions, so
she had no idea what she was agreeing to. When explaining,
I have no clue how somebody could do that. I
am now the bad guy. I need to apologize for that.
In comment five, I'm so confused. Why are you entertaining
this a hole? How did she make your fiance apologize

(49:40):
for going to the concert? Is she mad your fiance
went to the concert? I think she's more mad of
the lack of the communication and.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
Also that she I think with the lack of communication,
she didn't realize that she still did want to go
with her, but that this was kind of like her
backup option. Yeah, you know, and ended up need to
use that backup off.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
Yeah, you're not the a hole for not standing up
to your wife and entertaining this nonsense. Nope, replies, My
fiance apologized because she's a bigger person than her and
thought giving her apology she asks for would mean we
could move on. I've entertained this for the simple fact
I'm defending my fiance and all of it. My cousin
is pointing all blame at my fiance and I will
not let her. So she is now mad at me.

(50:22):
She's claiming my fiance had his this secret extra ticket
we never told her about. This is a copy paste
text from her. So, yes, you're defending Sally was effing
up because she effed up. I have no idea whose
decision it ultimately was to not tell me about the
extra ticket. Either way, neither of you took accountability for that,
and this is literally what created this entire mess. Sally

(50:42):
took accountability and apologized about three times for it. That's
a lot of apologies, a lot of apologies. I don't know.
I think like both. I think there's both there's a
holary on both sides. I think there's lots of communication
on both sides. I think both sides are a little overreactive.
I think everyone's kind of a hile here. Yeah. Everyone
kind of sucks here. Yeah, but let us know what
you think. We have bad takes some times, and you guys,

(51:02):
let us know. So you took a yet oh they do.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
I'm confused, Like, how do you forget about a te
Swift ticket?

Speaker 3 (51:09):
I mean John John said he forgot about it and
it was a jay Z concert, not gonna lie. I
was so sad, bro I made like ten dollars on
the ticket, and I'm like, I hate myself.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
That's fair. That was very sad. This is an episode
from Deep within the Archives.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
Time for okop rewam today. Effed up by accidentally watching
some sweet slongs during a flight. But it's not what
you think. What just watching some.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
Sweet schloans long you know some Is this a mile high?
You would think it is, But it's nuts, all right,
let's hear.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
Yesterday, I twenty two mail was on a plane, a
two hour flight scheduled to land at eight pm. I
had the window seat and there were two other passengers
sitting next to me who were a young couple. The
woman was sitting in the middle and she was squeezing
her boyfriend's hand the entire time. Most likely anxiety. Now,
the weather was pretty bad and I could relate to how.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
The woman was feeling.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
But instead of cutting off the blood circulation in another
person's hand, I tried to distract myself with a movie
on my laptop.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
What kind of movie?

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (52:10):
The movie I chose to watch was called Violation? Oh god,
so this was a movie my roommate had recommended to me.
It was almost as long as my flight was going
to be, so I thought, why not, let's do it. Well,
the thing is, I fell asleep while watching Violation. It's
a super fed up revenge movie. You'll love it, my
roommate said to me. I was sold. But the thing is,

(52:33):
my roommate did not mention that it was also super boringday.
The movie did one thing right, though, It managed to
put me right to sleep during a turbulent flight.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
Amazing.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
But then I woke up to someone tapping me on
the shoulder. It was the passenger next to me, and
at that moment I also noticed that one of the
flight attendants was staring me down. I removed my headphones,
thinking oh, we were about to land or something like that.
The flight attendant wanted to inform me that some of
the past messengers were uncomfortable with what I was watching.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
On my last People are like this guy watching this flight.
I looked at my laptop and noticed a naked man
sitting in a chair with a blindfold and a fully
exposed eric. What is this movement?

Speaker 3 (53:21):
This dude's meat was literally flexing the details too too much.
I had no context of what was happening at this scene,
but I instantly closed my laptop and apologized, I'm.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
Sorry, this is just what I This is what calms me.
It's my special resent man. You should try it sometimes. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (53:43):
As the flight attendant walked away, I heard a female
passenger behind me thank the flight attend Thank you.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
It was so disturbing. What there's like children on the flight?

Speaker 3 (53:52):
Yeah, actually, like it could me children, grand you know,
elder people. When I looked at the couple next to me,
I realized the boyfriend was now sitting next to me
and not his girlfriend for real.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
I obviously made.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
The girlfriend uncomfortable as well, hence the swap. The two
of them avoided eye contact with me at all costs,
even when we landed. When it was time for my
section to get up and grab our luggage, the female
passenger behind me said I should be ashamed for playing
dirty movies on a plane where there's children around. Fair
I locked eyes with her little small boy.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
Oh no, dude, and she's like, mommy, what was he watching?

Speaker 3 (54:29):
Oh my god, this is so sad. And he made
it clear to me that he could spell SpongeBob.

Speaker 1 (54:34):
This por kid. He's like, I can spell SpongeBob. Also,
you have heart.

Speaker 3 (54:39):
I apologize to the mom and awkwardly looked away. I
could feel people staring at me. Fuck that movie.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
We had a touch on this roommate though, like why
is this roommate suggesting this kind of movie? And two
when I actually I had an experience like this on
a flight web Oh really, I wasn't the guy watching
you know, dirty movies. But there was this guy on
an airplane that was literally watched porn on full blast,
like on his phone, just like no shame about it,
just watching porn. And people made a comment like oh

(55:08):
nice broke, like subtly shaming for it, but he gave
zero fox Wait wait how long he was watching it?
The entire flight? And then people saw it more when
he was walking fast because he still had the porn
on as he was walking down the aisle. He was
literally watching it as he was walking down the aisle. Yeah,
a flight attendant didn't go up to him. And oh
no what the man must be very addicted to porn

(55:29):
if he has to watch it going down the aisle.
I'm just in shock, utter shocked in the flight. Like
the flight attendants must have seen it. I don't know
I have Maybe I'm not sure they didn't they say,
didn't say anything.

Speaker 3 (55:40):
Well, more of the day. You can watch porn on
a plane, Yeah you can, children, But.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
If you have your own spooky smutty stories to share,
go to our such okop show and submit them to us. Yes,
do it today? I fed up by making my dad
punch a dancer of the poll in GTA and then
having him ask for forgiveness from God in front of
the entire family. Wait, wow, in front of the entire family.

(56:06):
Like the entire family. Okay, okay, let's see where this goes.
Let me try that one more time. Yes, I was
encouraged to post this here from a comment I made elsewhere,
even though it didn't happen today or even this decade.
So mods please remove it if it goes against the rules.
It's a funny story though. When I was young, my
brothers and I snuck a copy of San Andreas into

(56:27):
the house class we spent Yeah, dude, that game was
so good, so good. I would always play Said Andrea's
at my friend's house because my parents didn't have me
play video games. Same well, bad rated video games. Yeah,
I could play video rated yeah or MA or m see,
we don't even know. That's how bad we are playing
video games. We spent days hold in our basement taking

(56:47):
turns playing and down there. My parents didn't bother us
too much. In order to get tons of money for guns,
we had yet to figure out my parents dial up passwords,
so cheets weren't a thing for us yet. What we
would do is we'd go to the strip club and
stand on stage absorbing the money dudes through at women,
and just let the games sit for ten or twenty minutes.
That's a great hat.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
I love that, and I also love like, just if
someone doesn't know, GTA just sounds so crazy, Like, in
order to get money for guns, we had to stand
in front of the pole.

Speaker 1 (57:16):
Dancers, so he got in the one honest days and.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
Honest days living I'm moving boxes on scrip from money Ma.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
We had to be careful though, because sometimes the dancers
of the pole would move and bump into CJ and
the balancers. But the place up hikes. One day, while
I was playing, my mom yelled down to the basement
us to get ready. We're going to pizza hut. Hey.
Like a great time and a stroke of genius, I
drove to the GTA Dancing of the Pole Club, got

(57:49):
on stage, and then turned the TV off and we left.
It was the best heist of the century. My dad, however,
was and as the last highest because he is getting
all the free money about. We would go to the
Dancing of the Pole Club and stand on the stage
absorbing money. Dudes threw at the woman and just let
the game sit for ten or twenty minutes. Genius. My dad, however,

(58:11):
was at church at this time, practicing for a gospel
concert he was singing in. He always filmed the practices
so he could take notes at home upon playblack Oh God,
so he could take notes at home upon playback, and
this time was no different. So this guy's like, this
guy's super religious.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
Wow, Wait is he recording it in the basement or
at the church?

Speaker 1 (58:32):
They record the church service, and then he reviews the
tapes in the basement. Ah right, no, you're religious when
we're reviewing pape to the Dame. No big game today. Well,
my mom and brothers and I were still at the hut.
He arrived at home and plugged his camcorder into the VCR.
We had just one VCR and it was connected to

(58:53):
the basement TV. Back at the hut, my mom gets
a phone call. She says, She puts her napkin down
and slowly looks at the table and says okay, okay,
okay a few times in the phone in this really
calculating specific way that she always did when she knew
us kids were in trouble before we did. Oh no,
that that that mom's sixth sense that you you know

(59:16):
when it's coming, you feel it in your soul. The
wrath of a mom is worse than our wrath against
Adam Levine, our arch nemesis, who we will pass and
followers very soon. So uh, make sure it does abort
us so we could dominate Adam Levine.

Speaker 3 (59:31):
Smash the follow so we can show him how talentless
he is.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
Frickeing Adam Levine, We're coming for you. You know, I
was gonna say earlier, like we said something about Jesus,
I was like, you know who probably hates Jesus, Adam Levine. Naturally.
It was at this point that we kids knew we
were in trouble, just like Adam Levine knows he's in
trouble when he sees our stuff. That's right for what
though we didn't know. After a very quiet minivan ride,

(59:56):
we get home and my mom says, boys, why don't
we go down to the basement. Your dad wants to
show you his gospel practice downstairs. No, it was then
at this point we knew why we were in trouble.
So we drag our feet down the stairs and lo
and be old. My dad is sitting on the couch
TV on and a dancer of the poles polygonal milkers

(01:00:21):
juicy milkers swung stiffly back and forth on screen to
en vogues my love and with CJS standing mere inches
away collecting money. Oh no, my dad starts in, Boys,
I don't even know where to begin. This PlayStation was
a blessing to you for Christmas, and this is how

(01:00:41):
you repay us by breaking our trusts, just like Adam
Levine broke our trust.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
By having no talent.

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
No talent, Adam Levine. He's holding the controller up now,
gesticulating with it. Here I am practicing to bring glory
to God. But he was cut off as he inadvert
squeeze the controller, causing CJ to punch the dancer of
the pole. My entire family stands in silence, watching together

(01:01:09):
as the bouncers in the club to the place. For
what seems like an eternity. The tying stops and CJ
appears in front of the hospital. I look back and
see my mom silently weeping into her hand. I look
at my dad as a single tear rolls down his cheek,
and as she prays under his breath. After another eternity

(01:01:31):
of silence, without a word, my dad bends down, disconnects
the PlayStation, walks back to the family computer, disconnects it,
goes to his car, and drives away. For the next
four months, he kept the PS two and PC locked
in his office at work. GILDR. I wasn't allowed to
play GTA growing up, of course, got caught playing it.

(01:01:52):
My dad interrupted his own lecture by accidentally punching a
dance of the poll and immediately asking for God's forgiveness.

Speaker 3 (01:01:59):
You know what's so sad is my immediate reaction to
the end of that story is like what happened to
the money in GTA? Where they able to say because
it probably need so much money in GTA.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
All of their all of their hard work collecting all
those all those club dollars from those deuicy milkers, shaking
about lost forever

Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
Those milkshakes, shaking about
