Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, this is Samp this is John.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
We're the ancient two Case Storytime podcast hosts, and we
have some ancient wisdom in the stories coming up. If
you want to hear the wisdom from two old heads
that know more than they know what to do with,
you're gonna have to wait for a quick message from
our sponsors for the next two minutes or so.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
I stole my friend's girlfriend. Now I'm paying the price.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Uh oh, karma time.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
I'm a twenty four year old guy and my ex
girlfriend in the story is twenty one years old. About
a year and a half ago, while I was studying
in Australia, some of my friends came over to visit
me and holiday at the same time. This included girl
A let's call her.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Maya Maya, and guy Larry. Larry's it starts the A
and his name's Larry.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
No, they're both guy girl A and guys.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Oh okay, Larry and Maya.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Got Larry and Maya. We're attached to each other. Both
friends of mine. I've known Larry for about four years,
but we were never close. I've known Maya for about
six months. They have been attached for a year and
a half when you say attached, do you just mean
they're dating?

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Because some people are like dating, but some people are
literally attached. I know the difference.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yeah. By the way, this comes from Silvery and if
you want to spit your own stories, go to the
r slash Okay storytime suppart it.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
So is, do I give off the vibes if I'm
dating Auntie or I'm attached to her dating? Does Sam
give off the vibes that he's dating Alley or that
he's attached to her dating?

Speaker 1 (01:27):
I don't. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
I don't know what the difference is. I think of
a couple that's attached. Yeah, there is a difference, you can.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Tell Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll think of this now. Halfway
through the trip, Larry had some important business deal going
on and he had to suddenly fly back. This was
about the fourth day and two s seven day holiday.
We were left with Maya's brother and Brianna, our friend.
Because we all slept together on the floor in the

(01:55):
living room, we would chat late into the night. By
we I meant Maya and me, since her brother and
Brianna would sleep rather early and both Maya and me
are night outs.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Uh oh, somehow.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
We bonded through those two or three night talks. We chatted,
we laughed, we shared things close to our hearts. I
confided in her my problems and she did the same
for me. The last night, we came to the point
where I teared up a bit whilst sharing my problems.
She simply took out her iPod, found the song called
Lean on Me and let me listen to it. After that,

(02:30):
she told me, I'm your friend. I'm here for you.
That's wild. Imagine I'm trying to comfort you. Yeah, And
I put that song on and then I go, I'm
your friend, I'm here. If you did that, yeah, that
would be very good sharing someone up because it's so stupid. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Sometime during the night, I can't remember whether before or after,
we got into a huge tickling fight.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Uh oh, you've been in a tickle fight.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
I have not been in a tickle fight, well, as
a child, none as an adult.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
No, okay, well I've been in a few recently tickle
fights as an adult, and I know what that leads to. Yeah, yep,
there's like a eleventh finger starting to poke around. Eow.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
It's disgusting. Take that out. I hated that even her
brother woke up and joined in a bit. What what
is God? Who are these people you? It lasted for
maybe fifteen to twenty minutes, and we were tickling each
other all over.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
I hate this.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
This is gross. I had tickle fights aren't inherently like spicy,
but I do have. I hate how they're writing it,
like if you're.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Tickle fighting with you know, someone you got a crush on,
and ye, Sam starts joining in.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Ew, that's gross. I apologize it's a bit blurry now,
but I remember that I don't think of the boyfriend
at all. Will stickling his girlfriend. Maya hardly had any
attraction towards Maam. I wasn't even attracted to her. I
didn't have any motives. He's really hammering that in the guy.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
I'm assuming so I can check that.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah, you me check it.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yeah, let's check. I wish I was smart enough for
it to know what we're doing right now so we
could check. But you can check best, and I can
probably let's see. No, no, you can say that story. Sorry
one yeh, twenty four year old guy.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
I'm sorry. Okay, so we just learned that this guy
is twenty four years old male and he's having a
tickle fight with a girl who's not his girlfriend and
her brother.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, which she might be a little younger because this
happened if maybe a year or two ago, so yeah,
but she was.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yeah, she was twenty and he would have been twenty
three at the time.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, so they're both okay, better to know.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
I don't remember much after that, only that somehow the
next morning when we woke up, we were holding hands.
Were you guys like really intoxicated? What happened during this
tickle fight?

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Dude? You know, whenever you're sleeping on the ground next
to people, you just.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Wake up holding hands.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah. And plus probably the reason why he said attached
and not dating. Yeah, he was like they were an
abisial Yeah, exactly true. After that, the holiday came to
an end, she broke up with her boyfriend when she
went back home. H Well, we started dating two weeks later,
first online because I was still in Australia. Then when
I came back home we were dating in earnest. She

(05:17):
was my first girlfriend, and I could be said to
be one of those desperate types.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
I'm not ugly, I'm a little plump. At the time,
I knew how to talk to girls, was reasonably funny,
and self esteem was average. I knew how to play
the guitar, that played in public, rather often drove my
own car, had some pretty close guy friends.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Okay, that that's pretty If you can play guitar, that
does give you some points.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
You could play the guitar. I wasn't a loser in
the typical sense of the word. I was, however, a
wiener ed when I stole my friend's girlfriend from him. Yeah,
not cool. After dating for about a month, though, my
girlfriend started expressing regret and doubt. She started talking about
how everything happened on impulse because I was everything her
ex boyfriend wasn't.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Ooh, I've heard these things, but these couples are together
for a while.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, and she's monkey branching.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
She's monkey branching. But also, like, you know, my girlfriend
has ninety percent of the things I have, but this
girl that I met playing basketball ten percent can play basketball.
She knows how to do that. So I'm gonna I'm
like brillly into that. So I'm gonna go do that.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah, you searched for the ten percent when you're leaving
the ninety. He was quiet, passive, unadventurous, et cetera. He
always took her to the library to read, but she
hated it. You don't have to go to the library.
And she loved watching movies, but he hated watching movies.
What she's like, I hate reading and he's like movies

(06:41):
when I could be at the library. She and I
had so much in common. She was just overwhelmed by everything.
So she started talking about how she feels like a
salute and a witch, how she let him down, how
she shouldn't have left him like that for another guy.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Me, I feel like she's talking to you as a
friend and yeah, as her boyfriend.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Literally, she's like, it's late, they're having their late night
tickle talks. She's like, and I've been thinking about it
a lot, and I really shouldn't have left him for
that other guy. And he's like me and she's like, yeah, you.
I ignored the warning signs. We continue to date. We
grew very close. We slept together a lot. Sometimes it

(07:21):
was seven to ten times a week during our hornier periods.
Are you guys living together?

Speaker 3 (07:27):
What's going on? No, they're just sleeping, That's all. I
got to be back.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Slowly, the spicy sleep started to slow though about a
year into the relationship, she told me that she didn't
want to have a spicy sleep anymore. She didn't want
to hold hand, she didn't want to do anything of
that sort anymore. Because she got breaking up with you. Yeah, breakup.
Her ex boyfriend started to move on, started to lessen
contact with her. That made her start to slip into depression.
She really only has two close friends in her life,

(07:52):
me and him. Yikes, girl, get more friends, get more friends.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Also, think this through. He should have thought this through
a year ago.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah, fast forward to him, almost one year and ten
months later. He's very distant to her. Yeah, because she
broke up with him and got with another guy. That's
two weeks later.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
That's not fair to her. He shouldn't have done that.
Like he should have been there the whole time for
her and like always listen to her.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
He should always be there for his ex girlfriends.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
So it's like she got two boyfriends.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yeah, that's what she wanted.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Yeah, low key. One's more in the emotional side and
the other one's more in the physical way.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
And one watches movies with her and one takes her
to the library. He is very distant to her. She
refuses to give up contact with him. She keeps trying
to be a friend to him to make up for
the wrong she did to him. I don't know how
he feels about her. I hate that. I hate that idea,
that like, oh, you've wronged your ex partners, so you
need to hang out with them to make up for that. No,

(08:54):
leave me alone. I don't know how he feels about her.
Locked in.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
You kind of went through that right, Yes, leave me.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
I don't want you there, my I don't know how
he feels about her, but he allows her to sleep
over at his place. She says they don't have spicy sleep.
They don't even sleep together. They just tickle each other.
She just sleeps over because he hardly even goes out
or meets her. He ignores her most of the time.
I've seen their messages. She can send him a wall
of text and get an okay three hours later. I

(09:25):
have no doubt that he gives her the cold shoulder
most of the time. Girl, Get a catch a hint,
Catch a hint, catch a hint.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
You chose your man.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, come on, he doesn't want to talk to you anymore.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
You can't go back.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Stop setting him walls of text and me. I don't
know how to move on with life. I've begun to
truly love her. I've waited for her for a long time.
I've tolerated a lot of things. I've tolerated her sleeping
over at his place even while we were dating. I
accepted her calling him baby and say I love you
to him. Y'all are a poly couple at this point.

(09:59):
I've even driven her to his place to drop her
off to spend the night at his place.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
I don't know if he's given her the cold shoulder,
he might be giving her the cold meat ew, the
cold third leg ew.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
This is gross. Yeah, that's gross. This is gross. Stop it.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
I'm calling out is this is what?

Speaker 1 (10:20):
And yes, I still believe her when she says that
nothing goes on at all.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
You are You're so dumb, dude, so dumb, You're so dumb.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
And even if they're not sleeping together, they're clearly emotionally attached.
You're literally driving her. Both of you need driving her
over to her ex.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Both of you need to get rid of this girl,
just like, have her out of your life. Please.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Some of you say that I'm hopelessly in love and eluded. Yes,
but I believe her. She's told me that she can't
bear to lose him or me as a friend. Are
you even dating her? She just doesn't want to be uncomfortable.
She just doesn't have any friends. She was in depression
once and he pulled her out of it. Now she's
in a depression again. He's says that he will be
friends with her again if she never talks to me

(11:03):
ever again. She refused. She says she'll never let go
of me, even as a friend. She used to have
a lot of friends. Now she only has the two
of us, and she'll never let go of me. Girl, please,
That's the main reason he is so distant from her now.
He hates my guts. I don't blame him, and that's
what's driving her crazy. She regrets her mistake terribly, but
there's nothing she can do that will make things better.

(11:25):
He will keep drawing away from her while she is
my friend, and she can't bring herself to let go
of him or let go of me. Fyi, her life
consists of him, me or her family. My life consists
of her and my family. She is my entire social life. Reddit.
What do I do? What I've considered cutting all ties
with her and moving on. But I don't have the

(11:46):
strength to do so okay, hold on, we're gonna pause there,
cauz what you know the issue? And it's simple, it's
so simple. Get more friends, leave her, get more friends. Yep,
she'll leaves you, guys, and she gets more friends. Your
entire social life cannot be your kind of girlfriend who

(12:10):
you drive to go see her ex every day and
your family. That just can't be your social life.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Yeah, that is your social life. That would just tear.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
That's tearing you a part of the insie.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
I view yes as like a building. You need a
very strong foundation of friends and family, you know, that
could be one thing, and then you level up and
you need like a stronger foundation there and you keep
leveling up with the things that you add. Yeah, I agree.
You have one pillar.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
You have one pillar and she keeps It's like a
Jenga tower and she keeps pulling out the base piece
and you're like, wait, I'll rebuild it, and it's just
more and more shaky.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yeah, this is a term somehow keep rebuilding it when
you should just yea, let it fall.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Just let it fall, dude, Go build a different Jenga
tower without earth, and I'm.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Trying to understand her perspective. Well, she just needs more
friends too.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
All of them need more friends because she created new friends.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Yeah, she created a deep emotional connection to him, and
that's why she doesn't want let go of either of them.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Colle and both of them are obsessed with this girl,
and she's.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Making other guy can't even move on because he keeps having.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Her over, keeps having her over.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, my solution is all of you need to go
on like bumble bff yup.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
Also for you right now, that's listening. Text that one
friend you've been thinking of today, says, I'm so glad
you're my friends, so I don't go through these crazy
things in life.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
So true, Text all of your friends. Oh, he continues. Also,
i've seen her break down before. If she is suffering
from depression right now, and i've seen her have a
nervous breakdown before, I'm worried she may develop a split personality.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
What are you talking, shirty has one it's your girlfriend
and his girlfriend. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
The one time I saw her breakdown, she ran screaming
into the middle of the road that a car is
driving on it. Oh my god, I had to drag
her to the side of the road, after which she
simply collapsed on to the ground. Talking to herself. All
she said was, I'm cheap.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
I'm cheap.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
I'm cheap. Girl needs help. A lot of other things
happened that night, but the next morning she didn't remember
what happened at all. You remember the argument we have
that night, But after that, when she broke down, she
doesn't remember anything. She didn't remember how she got home.
I drove her home. She doesn't remember anything at all.
It scares her, and it scares me. She's got to

(14:29):
go to the doctor. Gotta go to the doctor. I
don't want to be responsible for her becoming a split personality,
but read it. How do I move on? I can't
cut all ties with her. At the same time, I'm
emotionally handicapped. I still love her. I fetch her from
work every night. I buy her gifts and little presents.
I know she'd like. I'd buy her snacks and food
to cheer up. I met her beck and call. Sometimes

(14:51):
she says she doesn't want me to do stuff like that.
She just wants me to be a friend. But I
can't help it. When she says she'll take the train home,
and I know she's tired. I'll tell her to stay
put and I'll be there to fetch her home when
her work ends. I don't know how to love another girl,
and even if I did, I don't know how to
move on without her dropping further into depression. Help me
read it. If I could turn back time, I would

(15:12):
stop that mistake from happening. There is a small update, folks. Dude,
what is your problem?

Speaker 3 (15:19):
You gotta find Oh, my group really helped me get
over my breakup. Was I joined a men's group that
also went to the gym. Yeah, and that led me
to find my best friend. Res, Dude, go to the gym,
and you know, I think finding another community of people.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Anything. Get a hobby, Join pickleball, join pickleball, rock climbing
rock climbing rock the best way to make friends. Do
something like that, anything that's communal and every week.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Yeah yeah. Or if you don't do physical things like
there's always like gaming stuff, there's discord. There's a lot
of things like that out there.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
You could make pretend unhealthy emotional attachments in RPG.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Games, yeah yeah, or AI you could just well no,
he would do the same thing.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
It would just be her, It would just be a Yeah,
he would train the eye to become her. Yeah, but
there is a small lee.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
I make the movie her, but I didn't even think
of that point. He he would control the ai to
become her like the movie.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Her exactly, Oh my gosh, and then she would leave
him in a Oh wait, I was thinking of x Fakina.
I haven't seen her.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Yeah, I don't know what happens. But everyone mocked the movie,
but in no mocked the movie her. Twelve years later,
twelve year or now later? Where we are moll.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Update A detail I forgot to add in. Some of
you are saying how I should break up with her.
We are actually not attached officially. You guys aren't even dating.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
I know this is her doing. He's just doing whatever
she wants. He would be your girlfriend, but he's.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Like officially, I don't know. It's messed up. She did
say that even if she could recover from the whole
trauma of the thing, she can't be attached to anyone
at all for the next one to two years at
least that includes the ex boyfriend. And there is an update. Dude,
you're not dating.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
Her, Yeah, you're not dating, not dating her and her
response to your you know, breaking off, that's on her.
You can put her into like a safe place. You're
saying I'm done. You're not responsible for her actions exactly.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Like she obviously has some sort of like you know,
mental health issues, which maybe you can inform her family
of if they don't already know. But you need to
take a step back because you are codependent. You and
her ex boyfriend are codependent.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
I mean, if they're crazy, you know, they're also crazy
in the point like that's probably why they don't want
to get rid of it, because the spicy sleep so amazing,
because how wild it is.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
So crazy, Like I can't let it go. I'm too obsessed, dude.
There is an update though, folks, same advice cut her off.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Basically after that post, things dragged on for another two
to three months or other of me basically being a
spineless witch who believed I could never love an this
guy is obsessed. At that point of time, I was
a disgrace to men everywhere. Well, after two three months,
I finally decided and is enough. Yeah we got to

(18:11):
stop this.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Wait, wait, so it took you six months to realize?

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah, six months of not dating this girl, this man
is entrenched in a situationship.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
That's from New Year to today.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Dude, that's crazy. That's like if I was still seeing
a person that I saw in New Year's that was
lifetime ago, that was a lifetime done.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Oh my gosh. Crazy.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
So I told her this was gonna end. I tried
all I could, and I was going to move on
with life. I thought that was the end. To my
surprise at the time, she started clinging on to me
once I told her that now I had a very
possessive female friend whom I did not have clear boundaries with.
Of course, the best part was she still didn't want
to relinquish contact with her ex boyfriend. But every time

(18:57):
I tried to cut off ties with her, she kept
frying and begging me not to leave her. Oh well, honestly,
she's kind of she's all over the place. However, I
will give her one thing. She doesn't have to relinquish
contact with her. I mean, like, emotionally, she probably should,
but she's not doing anything wrong by not relinquishing contact
with her ex boyfriend because she's not dating either of you.

(19:19):
I made my second mistake, giving in to her, Oh no,
oh no, you didn't even try that hard, and still
being her good friend, meeting her up very often, doing
favors for her, et cetera. So nothing's changed, he gave
in you weren't dating before. Literally nothing's changed. She's like, yeah,
I just kept doing favors for it. That's what you were.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Doing before, dude, Come on, lock in man.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Around this point of time, she started turning very passive aggressive.
It would be okay for her to cancel on me
last minute to meet her other friends. She has other
friends thank god, thank God, or her ex boyfriend. But
if I canceled on her for any reason, she would
say it's okay in that tone in which you knew
it was not okay, followed by one where answers for
the rest of the day. You know, the drill. Guys.

(20:03):
She would do a lot of other passive aggressive things too.
Now by this point, around January of this year, I
had just about enough, just just not quite enough. In
early February, I was overseas for four days on business.
Started a new job in January that I loved. Couldn't
be happier. I even went to the extent of text

(20:24):
messaging her when I touched down overseas to let her
know I had arrived safely. International SMS, thanks for letting
us know. When I got to the hotel after a
long day of work, the wireless there would only let
me log in on one device, so obviously I logged
in on my laptop. My phone had no Internet access,
so I couldn't whats up her. After surfing Reddit sharing
some videos on Facebook, he suddenly es messed me out

(20:47):
of the blue, saying, so you have time to serve Facebook,
but no time to message me. I totally lost it.
I found that she was online on Facebook, messaged her
there and let her ab it. She yelled back at
me virtually, you know, all capstyle, and after ten minutes
or so of virtual arguing, I gave up, logged off
and went to bed. I got a very long Facebook

(21:07):
message from her about two hours later. She apologize for
what she did and she hoped that we could stay friends.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Stop dude, he's addicted. He's addicted to ridiculously cycle.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
In January, I had about enough, and then two sentences
later said, it was February.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Dude, I do remember kind of seeing a girl and
it was a little toxic and I kind of liked it.
It just kept going in that little circle, and I
was like, dude, you're going through a line right now.
This is best for you for me to leave. Yes,
now she's back with her ex.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Oo, dude, you are this story.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
You're a pea because for a little bit, you're a pea.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Oh No, I replied to her with a message that well,
short wasn't cold, but neither was it warm. I would
say it was business like. I basically told her that
I could remain friends with her. No, you can't, but
she had to stop this passive aggressive behavior or it
wouldn't work. She replied with multiple messages yelling at me,
saying that because she doesn't love me as a girlfriend,

(22:08):
I'm no longer giving her any time, no longer putting
effort into the relationship, et cetera. I didn't reply to that.
I hadn't contacted her ever since. Ever since that night,
I finally took my life into my own hands. I've
started lifting weights, started running regularly, and started watching my diet.
I've spent more time practicing the guitar, re establishing old friends,

(22:30):
going out for drinks, and listening to good live music.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Look at you all right, all right.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Literally, it feels like you left all of your friends
behind when you became her friend.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
Yeah, that happens when you get into a relationships sometimes.
But he wasn't even in relationship technically, technically he wasn't.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
But he was giving up all of his friendship for
a situationship.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
Yeah, that was his girl. He thought it was his girl.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
He thought it was his girl. About a month after
I started ignoring her, I returned all of her stuff
that she had left at my place via her sister,
whom I'm still friends with. There was a little bit
of perverse joy in how happy and relieved I was
to finally rid myself of all the last remaining signs
of her presence in my life. I had a reevaluation
last month when I met up with her sister and

(23:13):
her dog, whom I missed so much. Quick background, I
used to walk her dog and play with her dog
more than any member of her family except her father.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
Cool. I thank you for that.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
I needed that. I needed that. When her dog saw
me from far away, he started sprinting towards me at
a high speed and nearly bowled me over. I swear
I was so glad to see him after nearly two
months of not playing with them. I told my friend
after that night, you know, I know I'm over ex
girlfriend's name sounds mean, but it's the truth. I miss
your dog more than I miss her, which is zero.

(23:45):
By the way, I missed when you guys listened to
full episodes of stories just like this. Just go to Spotify,
Apple Podcasts, We're iHeart Radio and search of Pokest story Time.
There is a little bit left to this story.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Folks left with.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah, just with we zero.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
You miss her so much.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
You miss her so much, Dude, you're just trying to
You're trying to You're kid in yourself.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
It takes a minute to forget about ANX, It really does.
Like sadly, sometimes when I think of a name in
my head, my Hex's name pops up, and it's a curse.
It's hear to my head and it's a curse that
I can't get out. It's within the last five to
six months has gotten a lot better. Hey, but I've
had to hold my tongue whenever I see Angie and
not to say the first name that comes to my

(24:28):
mind because I'm like, why is that still there? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Get out? Of that.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
But this might not be your piece case. But that
don't take a minute, man. You're not over her, and
that's okay. That's okay man, and you're gonna be addicted
to it. And please don't put yourself in another Please.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Don't get back to yeah yeah, take a minute. Yes,
don't just rush into something.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
Listen to all the live music that exists.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Please. Please, every time like you feel like you want
to go, text here, go to the live go to
a jazz event. Please to all guys who have ever
been in my situation, are going through something similar, Chin up,
bros mana.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
This is what he did.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Chin up brose yeah, man up, delete her Facebook, hit
the gym, take back control of your life.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
It's not bad advice.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Countless others have done it. Now, finally I have two.
You may think that you can never love another. You
may think you cannot move on. You may think that
because you have so many mutual friends with her or him,
you cannot break up and move on. You can believe
in it and work to make it happen. I took
the steps to take my life back, one step at
a time. The result now I'm still overweight, but I

(25:31):
just ran a personal record of twelve kilometers last night.
This coming from a guy who's one hundred and seventy
seven centimeters and ninety two kilograms. I was ninety eight
in January. To cheers, bro, and never stop believing in yourself.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
Five eight what is ninety nine kilograms and pounds? Two
hundred pounds for all of our Americans. He's five eight
and two hundred pounds.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
But folks, that's the end of that story.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
Goodness, gracious man, Please.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Get some I mean, it seems like you're working on it,
but yeah, on your self respect, and don't let your
life revolve around another person.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
Don't. Please don't.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Just in general, don't let your life unless you're a
security guard in charge of protecting the pope, I don't know, don't.
I mean, even then, you should have a life outside
of your job.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
Yeah, i'd say any security guards can do that. Yeah,
don't let it also revolve around you. But if that's
their livelihood and they lose their client, that's true, they're
out of a job.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
They are out of a job.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
So maybe this supplies to everyone, but security guards were personal.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Bodyguards, personal bodyguards. You gotta you gotta let your life
revolve around. Yeah, you can't, but everyone else. Your life
is your own, live it for yourself.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Wait, how did you get to the point where your
ex was like trying to hang out with you? You
were like, what did you just told him?

Speaker 1 (26:56):
You were like, because he apologized to me, and then
I I was like, I need you to stop texting me.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
Okay, so you just put your boundary down and then
he stopped texting me. I wish that guy could have
known him to do that, you too, poor man. All right,
we got another story coming up.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Storry folks.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
All right, cool, here we go. My boyfriend accused me
of stealing his money, but I didn't, Well, who did?
My boyfriend is accusing me of stealing his money? And
even if he does find it later, would it be
stupid to still break up? By the way, this comes
from Reddit user eighty nine. And if you want to
speak your own stories, what are the r slash? Okay?
Story time subredding? So earlier today, him and I stopped

(27:34):
by the bank and he had to withdraw money for
his employees. I'm still sitting in the car playing with
my phone MPJS. When he sits down, I'll remember is
that he takes it out of the envelope, fans it out,
puts it back in, and I don't know where he
puts it afterwards, because I was on my phone and
just glanced at him for a second. Tonight, he apparently
went in to look for it and it wasn't there,

(27:56):
and he calls me, asking where it is. He says
he puts it in the console in the middle of
his car and claims I saw it there. I keep
saying no, and I tell him he misplaced it, but
he says he swears he knows where it was, and
I was the only one that knew. Then later I
found out that his brother also knew he had it
in his car because he told him. On top of that,

(28:17):
I didn't find out he gives his brother the spare
keys to his car. He had all day to take it.
I was never alone, so I didn't have a second too.
He got a little little mystery on a little who
done it? Oh, who do you think did it? Brother?
I think probably the brother brother.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yeah, I mean, no pis are unless she's an unreliable narrator.
But I also think if your partner is accusing you
of like stealing, maybe not the best relationship.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
Yeah, this is payroll for his company, so this might
be a few thousand dollars in cash we're talking about Earlier,
he thought I had clearly had time to take it
when he left the car. I reminded him I never
was left alone in it. Then I thought I had
two seconds to take it when he got out of
his car to go check the gas on his other car.
But I told him he's an effing idiot because I

(29:05):
got out at the exact same time he did, and
for some reason, he thought I was sitting in his
car and had time to do that. Now, even if
I was alone in the car, why would he think
I took it. I'm typing this on twenty five hundred
dollars MacBook. He bought me. He's bought me the top
of the line Apple products, iPads, every iPhone that I watch,
my pure Bread Husky, my PS four, my Wiu golden

(29:27):
diamond jewelry, give me a thousand bucks to spend on
Black Friday, takes me around the world on the best vacations,
and I could keep going with a list that would
be longer than the Harry Potter book series.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Dude, he's given you all this money, and now he
thinks that you're a gold digger.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Why would I need twenty five hundred bucks? Anything I
wanted was that much money, I'd get it for Christmas
with no questions asked. If I did take it and
bought stuff with it, well, hello, how did I afford
those things? Taking it would not be beneficial at all
because I couldn't spend it to buy anything. Before he
made the money he makes. Now, I was always there
for him. He had no money to spend. He's always
trying to keep his business going, but it wasn't going

(30:02):
so well. He even had to ask me for money
to pay his employees. Well would he think that later
on I would be the ones stealing money?

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Okay, I think he's in this mindset now that he
has money, of like, oh, now she's using me for
my money, like I give her all this stuff. She's
probably trying it. Like, I think he's in this kind
of everyone's out to get me mindset now that he
has money.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
Yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense. So we're seeing
his perspective in a way. Yeah, that she could be
looked at as a goal dirty And now we're looking at
the brothers, his brother twenty two. However, gets paid well
from him, He complains saying he doesn't, and he does
and gets gifts for holidays and birthday. He also bought
himself a car that he's been really needing money for

(30:44):
and could put that money towards it without my boyfriend
seeing any change. Like I said, if I had it,
when would he notice the change and stuff I have?
But his brother has asked him for money on his car.
Another big thing is that his brother doesn't like me,
so why you're being frames little hoodwing tear? So why
not take it and blame me? If he knew we

(31:05):
went to the bank together. So I told my brother
say this, I better have it tomorrow back in my
car or you aren't getting paid anymore. It's his only
income and he needs to pay that car and gas
and other things. My girlfriend has a set of keys
to my cars and you have my spare, so one
of you better return it and nothing happens. But the
twist is that he doesn't give me any keys, and

(31:25):
if it is there, then his brother took it. My
boyfriend doesn't seem like he wants to do that for
some reason. Anyways, what would you do about all of this?
What would you say? What if it never shows up?
What if my boyfriend lost it is just something to
end a five year relationship over that I've been in
since fifteen and him sixteen. He's saying he might have
to break up with me. What if this money has found?

(31:46):
What should I do? If it is not then what
should I do? If it is found? Do I break
up with him? Because of him thinking I do that
it's not even lost to twenty five hundred dollars he's
mad about. He's mad at the fact he thinks one
of us could steal from him. He doesn't trust me
when I swore on everything and we have some comments.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
He doesn't trust you. You're not ending the relationship over
you know, maybe stealing or not. You're ending it because
he doesn't trust you.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Yeah, trying to think if you swore on everything, Yeah,
that's hard or anything.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Friend, If you can't trust your girlfriend, why are you
with her? Yeah? If you can, like, yeah, SUREY wants
to trust his brother, but you're literally paying everything for
this girl. Why would she steal your money?

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Sort of like if you're like, I'll give you this, this,
and this to get the twenty five hundred dollars back. Yeah,
if that's what it needs to do. I don't care.
Sometimes whenever couple's in this rut, you need like the
other person to hold, like you know, have your back,
even if the partner doesn't trust you for a moment,
because that moment may pass. They might not trust you
just for a second if you're willing to do that.
But if you think there is any coming back from this, yeah,

(32:46):
through it.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
I think people accusing someone of stealing from you is
like super hard to come back from because one, you're
saying that you don't trust them, you're accusing them of
committing this, like you know, act against you. And also
the three I mean, I don't have a third one.
I did have a third one.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
Uh, trust's thievery.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
I don't remember what the third one is.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
It's gone. We only got two guys, make up one
in your comments. We got comments here though, come number one.
I would feel comfortable in a relationship where I was
wrongfully accused of stealing, especially if it's been brought up
more than a few times. I don't think it would
be wise to continue this relationship. You gave him a
pretty crafty plan to get back the money, seeing as
it sounds his brother could be the one other person

(33:33):
who took it. Why can he accuse you but not
his brother? Bounds off. We got an update. Hey's John
og host.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
We're gonna get back to the stories, but a quick
three minute break of ads from our sponsors.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
I just I think he's he's told you what he
thinks about you. And I think when someone says like
they think so lowly, you know, so low of you,
Or I think when someone tells you that they think
so little of you that they think you could steal
from them, It's like, why what do I want to
be with someone who thinks I could do that?

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Yeah? I feel like you framed the brother back in
some way, shape or form here.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yeah, but even then, like even if you proved your innocence,
I don't know if I would want to be with
someone who couldn't trust my word.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
Yeah. I'm just thinking this boyfriend might have a moment
of weakness. If you can't get rid of it, then yeah,
don't don't stay with it. Yeah, Okay. Update. So tonight,
my boyfriend was hanging out with one of his friends
and his brother when he decided to bring up what
happened the other night. Went to his friend twenty mel.
He started off by saying, so, three thousand dollars was
stolen on my car the other day. It could have
only been two people. He turns over to his brother

(34:34):
and says, what would you do if you lost three
thousand dollars? His brother replied with, I don't know. I
don't know what i'd do if I lost fifteen hundred bucks.
See that fifteen hundred bucks, he corrected it instead fifteen hundred.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Your brother is an idiot.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Oh my gosh, brother is stupid. What the heck? Dude?

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Yeah, ah, I lost three thousand dollars. What would you
do if you lost three thousand dollars? I don't know.
I don't know what I would do if I lost
fifteen hundred dollars. That's what just happened. Oh, dude, you're stupid.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
You're so own.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
You're like a freaking like villain from a cartoon. You're like,
how did you know that I was the villain all along?
After I did my villain monologue?

Speaker 3 (35:17):
Dude, Now, why would that be relevant? Well, if you
read my original post, then you know I said twenty
five hundred dollars in my post. Why all the different
amounts of money. That's because apparently my boyfriend had lied
to all of us about pretty much how much money
was really pulled. He told me twenty five hundred dollars
and told his brother three thousand. This entire time, I
really thought twenty five hundred dollars. So okay, well it

(35:39):
seems like she passed. Yeah his test. Wow. Nice, Okay,
I don't blame him for doing that. Yeah, but now
we know who the culprit is. Yeah, it worked, it worked.
No one knew how much money was actually in the envelope.
My boyfriend called me tonight, very upset and angry because
the moment he said that, he knew it had to
be him. He was planning on that slip up to happen,

(36:00):
and you got lucky. Criminals wouldn't be criminals if they
were smart, now would they? Nobody about the person doesn't
make sense. Oh, I guess because they got caught. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
I don't like that.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
I don't know. If you read some criminals, it's like.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
Oh stupid, but like, well that's a separate issue.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
Though, Yeah, the separate shoot. I read something that like
fifty one percent of criminals who commit murder actually are caught.
So the forty nine percent of them are stupid for
getting caught.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
When you say, I mean some criminals from themselves, then
is a.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
Moral moral thing. But when you say there's like stupid
for getting caught, if it's a coin flip when you
say one half of the murders are smarter than the
other half.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Or is it just but is it stupid or is
like the person who caught them just smarter?

Speaker 3 (36:39):
But there are dumb crimes. I have a whole book
of them, Yah, dude, absolutely, I have a book. It's
called Weird but True but Crimes Edition. And on the
cover of it was Kataba County, North Carolina, and it
was like the county over next to me, and that
was a cover of it. And it was the stupidest
crime in the book. It is ratt near you, dude.
It was wild. I was like, yep, that's North Carolina.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
Nobody but the person who the money would have known
how much was in there and why was it a
lower amount. He told me that he originally planned to
take out three thousand, but he pays his employees in
twenties because hundreds are annoying to have to have. And
when the lady at the bank said hold On may
have to get another drawer for more twenties, and so
he said that he would be fine and he'd come
back another day. I feel so relieved. I just found

(37:20):
out that he had lied about the amount. He also
told us one day that he found cameras and he's
going to pull the footage as soon as the tech
guy came in and did it. My reaction, how awesome
did you get the footage yet? Hurry up and do it.
What it's taking so long? His brother's reaction. He apparently
started to look around for cameras and seemed a bit nervous.
So the reactions to both.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
I really feel like he could have done all of
this without accusing anyone, you know, instead of being like
my girlfriend you did it, or my brother you did it,
and you know, ruining kind of both relationships, he could
have just been like, someone stole my money. Yeah, ah,
I have I have cameras in those who we can
find out. Like, you don't have to accuse anyone.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
I agree, maybe accusing them once like hey did you
take yeah, maybe asking not a few times. It doesn't
even have to necessarily be an accusation. It can just
be like Hey, do you know where did you see.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
The money I put? I had it in my car,
but it's not there anymore. Doesn't even have to be
an accusation. And then they both say no, yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
Literally, he could have framed this so much better. I
could have been like, hey, girlfriend, I have like and
he could still do his little plot. I had like
three thousand dollars that I put in the car. I
don't know where it is. I'm a little worried. Do
you remember seeing it? I think I've misplaced it. Yeah,
And then we go to the brother, Hey, brother, I
had I think it was Actually he told him her

(38:41):
twenty five hundred, and then tells the brother, eh, three
thousand dollars in the car. You know, doesn't have to
accuse anyone until he has evidence. Yeah, because now your
girlfriend still my breakup with you, buddy.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
Yeah accusing. Yeah. It's sad because and also another thing,
I think he knows it was his brother, but he
wanted to be the girlfriend to fresh up. Yeah, that's
why I was so hard on her. It's sad because
we are the only two people he trusts the most,
and that's the one that should have been watched. He
gives his brother so much money, and that dream car
that he has is because his brother pays for him

(39:11):
to have it. He also pays him to have an apartment.
And he's one hundred percent sure it was him because
everyone knows this. Workers get way more than fifteen hundred dollars,
so that would never be just a guess that someone
would take. By the way, and if you had a guest,
you can also watch more stories on your favorite podcast platform.
Just search up Okay Stories on Apple, iHeartRadio, or Spotify. Boom, Dude,

(39:32):
what we got stories there?

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Stories?

Speaker 3 (39:35):
Yeah? What do you do next, Sophia? Oh, we got
like a third left? Wow? But what would you do next?

Speaker 1 (39:41):
I The thing is that you kind of ruined your
relationship with your girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
She seems like she's still uncertain about, you know, breaaking
over them. So maybe maybe you've lucked out and you
found this very forgiven girlfriend. But he said, I mean,
op said, oh, we're the two people that he trusts
most in the world. No, you're not, Like if these
are the two people that you trust most in the world,
and that's how he treats you, Guys, you trust no one.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
If you still want to be with them, apologize. He
needs to apologize a lot and bring up why that
he went about it that way, and things to do differently,
how to speak to you, and how to fight, because
I feel like another part of the couples is people
may not know how to fight with one another. Yeah, Ange,
you know, I've had a conversation. I like to have
my moment to like kind of clear up my mind

(40:28):
to know how to think. Because beforehand, whenever I would
fight with my ex, I'd be like, I just need
a moment process, but then she would badger me with like,
what are you feeling right now? What are you feeling
right now? And I didn't feel comfortable telling her how
I felt because I wanted her to hear what she
wanted to hear and not how I actually felt.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
Dude, that's what I Yeah, that's my thing. I'm like,
I need a moment to process things, and then I
write it out. And I'm like, I'm so much better
at writing out my emotions that I am, like, you know,
on the spot.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
I ever come out on the spot of how I
actually feel. I feel upset, I feel angry, and I'm
definitely gonna say something. I'm gonna regret. Yeah, you're gonna
push me to point. Oh, I've told her that, and
it seems like you're in the same page of like
you need just a second process second. So I feel
like this couple needs to talk about how they need
to fight with one another. Yeah, so it doesn't seem.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
It's very accusatory and it's superccusory. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
Absolutely, I will update you on what happens. It was brother,
if he does anything, I doubt it. He loves him
way too much. I know that if he found out
it was me, I'd be gone. I don't care, though,
I'm just glad that he knows I can be trusted
and not his brother.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
Dude, But he he didn't think that. He didn't think
that you could be trusted. That's the whole problem. Like,
I feel like he is really glossing over that point.
What just happened. He accused you of stealing from him,
and he truly believed that you were capable of that,
despite you say no, I am not.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
Yeah, this could be a little long winded rant. Yeah,
but I've realized the situation happened to me personally, I
kind of I took screenshots of what happened, put it
into AI told it to give me a Reddit story,
and I read it as if we read a Reddit
story here. Yeah, but I knew the people personally, and
I knew everyone's dynamics in a way. We may not
understand all the dynamics here, and we're just reading off

(42:04):
the face of it because OPI may be speaking in
a way where we can't trust the boyfriend, and he's
actually a great person and very trustworthy. But I think
you do need to question some of the things of
your relationship, of seeing if you do want to stay
with them, and if this is just a slip up,
because couples have slip ups and you can come back
from it. The thing is, yes, okay.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
I think that they could penially come back from this. Okay,
if he really apologized, apologize, if he came to her
and said, I am so sorry that I didn't trust you.
You said that I should have believed you. That was wrong.
I should have approached this differently. And they had a
whole conversation about God and how to approach arguments. But

(42:43):
here it feels like he was like, well, sorry, I
was wrong about that because it was my brother the
whole time. Yeah, yeah, it's like like if the Scooby
Doo gang like accused a business owner being the bad guy,
and then he was like, I'm not the bad guy,
and they found out he wasn't the bad guy, and
they were like, oh, sorry, I guess we're going at

(43:05):
like there's there's no consequences for him, you know. He's like, oh,
it's fine, it doesn't actually matter. We just move on
to the next actual bad guy. Yeah, you're actually ruining
your own business bad guy.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
Yeah. Yeah, He's like comments, I'm insanely curious about what
this business is. All employees paid with straight cash. Your
twenty one year old boyfriend can buy cars and pay
for extra apartments. He's doing like lawn care or like
that kind of thing. That's my assumption. What do you
call that stuff? Lawn care, long care, like landscaping. He's
just landscaping. He's doing landscaping. I suppose that you add

(43:37):
if your significant other immediately accused you of stealing the money,
he doesn't trust you, Yep, one of the basic requirements
of any healthy relationship. Did he apologize for doubting to you?
At least he says a lot of people are wondering
he's slightly famous. I guess YouTuber.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
Oh yikes, No, no YouTubers. Wait, I'm confused.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
Now, dude, that's fifteen cash.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Wait that dude, that's why he's so rich. He's got
that YouTube money's if he's a famous YouTuber. Okay, now
he's have that mindset. He's like, I'm famous YouTuber. Every
everyone's trying to steal my money. Yeah, everyone's trying to
use my pay.

Speaker 3 (44:17):
I have a few people in my mind who I
think this might be one. Why the heck are you
pulling cash and paying your employees. You need to get
them out as contractors and pay them that way because
your taxes that fifteen hundred dollars you're gonna have to
pay taxes on buddy.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
I mean like, yeah, actually, I really don't understand why
you're using it in cash. Yeah, Like, what the heck?

Speaker 3 (44:36):
Like, I don't know, zell them, zell them that and
then you can see a footprint of it. Because if
you say cash, you say you're paid. My police say,
get it work.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
Sound's so suspicious when you're paying your employees in cash, unless.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
You're employees or people you're walking up on the street
and do an interviews for like, for one hundred dollars.
Can you do blah blah blah blah blah. That makes sense,
that makes sense, But this doesn't. Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Small group of people he works for gets paid in cash.
It's YouTube, so he gives them two or three hundred
dollars per video twice a week in cash. Because he's
only twenty one and figuring out things about his business
after it's getting big. He said, he wants to do

(45:08):
checks at the start of next year. Okay, at least
he's looking into that.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
Why you can't just sell it. It's so much easier
and no one steals your money.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
If you can figure out how to do YouTube videos
with YouTube, you can figure out how to pay people
with checks.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
Like she said, he's only twenty one. He just doesn't
know anybody.

Speaker 3 (45:25):
I'm sorry, that's this is what's getting us on fire,
because we're YouTubers and we know how this well.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
So I just don't use cash.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
Maybe doing she just doesn't understand what ten thousand dollars
look like. It's not that big.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
It's not that big I did that that. We're just
mad because like he just feels like he's an old man.
He's like I can't put my money in the banks.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
They're still getting charge because YouTube's paying you and you're
getting charged. O. Never mind taxes, dude, he said he
wants to do checks at the start next year. He
just never really expected to go anywhere, and he used
to pay them a way smaller amount in cash.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
That still doesn't make sense even if you're paying the
twenty bucks sell Venomo.

Speaker 3 (46:01):
I don't know smaller amounts. But once you get into
like the hundreds, Yeah, then you can use his tax
ride up. Well, call me a boring middle aged business owner,
but please get him an appointment with the decent payroll
company for all the days. Seriously, he needs to get
legal on all of this. The government is not stupid
or as blind as he may think on how the
money moves around.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
Yeah, it feels like he's trying to evade taxes, dude.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
Just checks is worse than just cash. Just checks leaves
a paper and an electronic show of unpaid taxes that
cash does not. And yeah, cash is God's gift to
small businesses.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
Oh wait, that person's pro cash.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
Okay, well I may need to understand how to do it.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
But I don't know. I just I just feel like
zelling it or you know, some sort of electronic transfer
is safer and easier.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
For contractors because he's the contractors you're working with.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Yeah, hey, it's Sam. We'ready to get back to these stories.
But here's three minutes of bads from our sponsors.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
He says, he's trying to get all that done. He
got into financial advisor. YouTube used to be a small
thing he started doing when we first started dating five
years ago. It wasn't anything he was doing. He started
and paid friends like twenty to fifty bucks.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
Isn't that kind of makes sense why you would be
doing we're doing a cash Yeah, if he's like sixteen
or you know, because he started when.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
He was but yeah, yeah, probably sixteen. Yeah. Then last
year he decided to really work on it, and now
it's doing great and he hasn't out of the playing
them in cash part. But his advisor is working with him. Okay,
so he's working on it now. Everyone's like on this part.
This is so funny, just like how we were. Yeah, reply,
just heads up that can really come back and bite
him in the future. The RS doesn't care if it's

(47:30):
his business first, if he gets audited, he can get
ft hard. I would really stress to get things fixed.
Not because it's right, but that's really not something you
want hanging over you. Comment to what she said in
the original post wasn't exactly accusatory. He wanted to rule
her out, which is fair. First up, when that much
money goes missing from your car.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
No, No, it was accusatory because she said that he
said that he would probably have to break up with her. Yep,
he literally said we might have to break up over this.

Speaker 3 (47:59):
Yeah, bringing it up once. Sorry, non accused doory multiple times.
I'm gonna have to break up you. I don't think
it's gonna work out. Accusatory unless who's doing it for
a video.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Yeah, he's like pulling the pretending my girlfriend stole my
money break and then threatening to break up with her.
Than that.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
You can do any about anything. Do you get a
reaction thing?

Speaker 1 (48:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (48:19):
Yeah, now still break up? Comment three. So your boyfriend
didn't see his brother muching lifestyle as a red flag
for theft. His brother feels entitled to your boyfriend's money,
regardless of the consequences. All you may think not to
ask for an apology from your boyfriend. I think you
should definitely demand one from the thieving brother. Comment four. Okay,
so you don't care that he hasn't apparently apologized for

(48:39):
accusing you, because that would be the appropriate thing to do. Hope,
he says he has apologized. He also said he's glad
it was his brother over me, because it would upset
him way more if it was me.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
Definitely, Okay, bad apology.

Speaker 3 (48:54):
You.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
I would have broken up with you for sure.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
Now he's trying to figure out what to do with
his brother and the situation. I'm staying away from that.
I'm an update to this. I'm finding it up.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
I was such a bad apology. It was terrible. Oh
I'm sorry. Thank god it was my brother. I have
to go take care of that now. That's what that
felt like. It wasn't like, hey, let's work on this. Yeah,
he's like a you two. He's like a gaming streamer
or something, and he's like, I don't know how to
talk about this. Dang it.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
Oh my gosh. What he makes anywhere from twenty K
to sixty K a month, depending on the month a month. WHOA. Well,
that's the end of that story, and we got one
more short one for you. We're gonna read.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
All right mass story. I caught my friend's fiance saying
awful things about his kid, so I recorded it.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
Stop talking about the kids that way.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
I was invited to the bachelorette party for my friend's fiance.
It was over the long weekend ientification rental on the beach.
There was booze, a hot tub, and great food. It
was definitely it. By the way, this comes from Rhubarb
Spear ten to fifty and if you want to spit
your own stories, go to the r slash Okay, storytime
supper day. So at one point I was on the

(50:05):
deck looking at the ocean, and the bride was wasted
in the hot tub with two of her friends. She
said she felt more relaxed than she had in a while.
I assumed she was referring to wedding planning. One of
her friends asked if she was having trouble with the
little monster. She said no, that he was manageable for now.
At that point I realized they were talking about my
friend's son. Wait, I'm just making sure friends fiance Okay,

(50:27):
so this is the friend's fiance. Okay. I took out
my phone and started recording them. The bride's friends said
horrible stuff about my friend's son, and the bride responded
positively to everything, laughing and agreeing. Then she said that
it was tea baddie wasn't old enough to send to
military school. I stopped recording when their topic changed. I
don't think they ever realized I was close enough to

(50:49):
hear them. When we got back, I asked to meet
with my friend and I played in the recording. He
was quiet well, he listened. After the recording was finished,
he asked me to send it him, which I did.
Then he asked me to deleat it, which I said
I would do, but haven't yet. I feel like an
ale for interfering. I really do. However, I'm worried about
my friend's son. Depending on what my friend does, I
might need to send this recording to the poor boy's family.

(51:12):
Who else is the family? What isn't your friend the family?
I feel like I've overstepped, but what else can I do?
Was I being an ale? And there are some comments?
And an update?

Speaker 3 (51:25):
He responds, Okay, sorry, yeah, one, I don't know how
I feel about recording. But how else would they believe?
They might not have believed?

Speaker 1 (51:35):
Op? Yeah, I mean I don't think that you interfered
in a way that wasn't fair, Like, this is his
kid and he should know that his fiance doesn't hates
his kid.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
Due the day before my great grandpa married his second wife,
some kid spuilt something on the carpet. She just went
off on him the day before they got married. He
still went through with it.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Yikes.

Speaker 3 (51:57):
And it's crazy how close to the wedding day that is.
You know what's cheaper canceling wedding than getting divorced?

Speaker 1 (52:03):
Yeah, unless you have no money. I don't know, but yeah,
don't have to pay for lawyers and all of that stuff.
And it's just not as there's not as much stuff
to do when you cancel a wedding. I mean, like, yeah,
you have to go through refunds and stuff, but at
least you don't have to go through sports true comments.
Have you never said anything stupid or you didn't mean well,
wasted or exaggerated feelings? Is there even a kernel of

(52:25):
truth to what she was saying about the difficulty of
the kid or about his acts? Did you have ulterior
motives and breaking up the marriage? Why does everyone feel
the need to be vigilante and snitch these days? Bit
of hearts common hope. He says, yes, I have. I
just worry about this little boy. It's bad enough that
his mom isn't in his life anymore. He deserves love
and support. When I have said stupid things while wasted,

(52:46):
they're usually wound up being consequences for me later, and
often I ended up needing to apologize to someone afterwards.
Commenter says, is he a little monster? Though? How old
is he? Does he have behavior issues or is it
more because from bad parenting? Op He says, he's not
a monster at all. I'm sorry. He's two years old.
He doesn't have any behaviors atypical for his age group.
The worst thing he does is that he keeps trying

(53:08):
to take his clothes off in public because it's so
hot this summer. He's two. That's a very regular two
year old thing to do. My friend is a great
dad who loves his son very much. And there is
an update. I mean like.

Speaker 3 (53:20):
Military school.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
Yeah, that's crazy to be like, I got done this
kid to military school.

Speaker 3 (53:24):
She started normalizing it make a military school for two
year old? Why not?

Speaker 1 (53:28):
It's a military school for two year old? A military preschool? Yikes.
It always makes me think of Francis from Malcolm in
the Middle Military School. Yeah, I think your friend deserved
to know that his fiance hated his two year old son. Yeah,
his son deserves a part like his dad, to be
with a partner who like actually wants a child.

Speaker 3 (53:48):
And the dynamics between step parents and.

Speaker 1 (53:51):
Kids already complicated.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
It's very complicated. They're already like an uphill battle right now,
not worth it. And you've lied to your partners saying
everything's gonna be fine. Yeah, it's reality, it's not. And
you hate their two year old? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (54:04):
Why why did you want to go like that two
year old's not gonna go away?

Speaker 3 (54:07):
I mean, did you hear where they were for the weekend?
And nice sort of plays hot tub?

Speaker 1 (54:11):
Who's hot? Friends of who'sy? Friends? We have that?

Speaker 3 (54:15):
You do have?

Speaker 1 (54:15):
That? That could just be our house?

Speaker 3 (54:16):
Were they here?

Speaker 1 (54:17):
Update? Yesterday Friday afternoon, I got a text from my
friend asking me to block his fiance's number. WHOA. I
was bitthrowned by the request and asked if everything was okay.
He said he couldn't talk right now and asked me
to block the number. So I blocked the number. I
have this weird glitch with my Androatto, where if a
block number calls me, it shows up in my recent
calls as a missed call on my car's screen, even

(54:40):
though on my actual phone it doesn't ring at all.
I was driving later and saw a ton of miss
calls from her. There were so many it exceeded what
my car will show me. I kept the number blocked. Yeah, okay.
The pro was like, she's coming for you, She's coumming. Later,
my friend's best friend, who was supposed to be the
best man, followed me and asked me if I had
heard from our friend. I said yes and asked why.

(55:03):
He sent me a screenshot from the fiance's Facebook talking
about how people show you their true colors and saying
she was newly thangal. I tried to call my friend,
but he didn't answer. Night I finally heard back from him.
The long and short of it is that he asked
her about how she feels about his son. She said
he's adorable and sweet. My friend played her the recording
and she asked where he got it. He refused to

(55:25):
tell her, saying it shouldn't matter. She immediately guessed it
was me. He refused to confirm that she was angry
that he wouldn't tell her. I recorded her conversation and
said she can't trust him anymore and call off the wedding.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
She wait read of it.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
She called off the wedding. She called it off. She
called off the wed.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
She didn't want to be the one that got the
wedding called off on. It's like, I'm quid I'm quitting
my job. Bright night, bite you're fo I'm quiddi.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
Yeah, exactly. Yikes. Well, you know, good for you, it's
good for the friend in the long run. Sucks probably
right now. Not a great update, but since so many
of you were invested, I thought you'd want to know.

Speaker 3 (55:58):
She woant to be the one to dump him, not
the dump yike, dude. My mom railed me one time
with a comment like that. She was like, I was
talking about how one of our friends recently broke up
with a girl and the girl still gave them something
at the breakup. Yeah, And I was like, dude, that mom,
isn't that crazy light That's never happened me. She me with,

(56:18):
but you're the one that usually gets breaked up with.
You haven't broken up with anyone, right? Who have you
broken up with that. You don't, my mom, that's not
that's not the point. We're talking about this person. We're
not talking about me. Yeah, that's not. No, that's not
the point here.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
I called you out, man, she did. But there's a
second update. Bridezilla called up wedding to my friend and
is now suing him. This past week has been nuts,
what feels like forever ago. I was at my friend's
fiance's bachelorette party. At the party, she said and reacted
positively to inappropriate statements about my friend's son. So I
recorded her and sent the recording to my friend. When

(56:51):
my friend played the recording for her, she wanted to
know where he got it, but he refused to tell her.
He called off the wedding, stating that she couldn't trust him.
I just found out that she has declared her intention
to sue my friend for any funds she had already
spent on the wedding, even though she left him. He
has had a lot of money too. You sorry, you can't, Quinn,
and also gets severed, you can't. It's not how it works.

(57:12):
Probably around as much as she has, so if anything,
she should be compensating him. He's also telling people that
she left him because she feared for her safety as
he was spying on her and having her followed a
complete lie. She has gone from saying that my friend
is the love of her life that she can't wait
to spend forever with to saying he is manipulative, patrolling,
and has ruined her life quite at turn. She probably

(57:33):
wants around twenty five K to reimburse her for her dress,
the cake deposit, the flores fee, the wedding planner's fee,
and her emotional pain and suffering. It's an absolute mess.
And the wedding was supposed to be in eight days.

Speaker 3 (57:45):
Oh wait wait, wait, wait the emotional pain and suffering.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
Yeah, for her canceling. She can't pled it. It was
supposed to be eight days. So several people already have
non refundable travel arrangements and are completely confused by the way.
I'm confused by you guys aren't listening to full episodes
of stories just like this. Just go to Spotify, Apple podcast,
or iHeart Radio and search up. Okay, sorry, time do
it too, dude? What man? That is the end? Sorry,

(58:13):
that's not the end of that story. We have a
little bit left of the story.

Speaker 3 (58:17):
This is wild. This is so crazy.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
He's like suing him for the emotional distress of her
talking bad about his son and getting caught.

Speaker 3 (58:25):
How does that even work? I don't understand this one.
You better count sue because you're definitely gonna get that. Yeah,
free money.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
We should say thank you, thank you. Actually she opened
it up. Man, I have her number blocked, but she
emailed me saying she would accept monetary contributions towards my
friend's debt from me, since this situation is all my
fault because she knows I'm the one who recorded her. Girl,
how are you not taking any blame you said those.

Speaker 3 (58:48):
Things, dude, You're just seeing what your marriage could have been. Yeah,
she was in it for the money the whole time,
the whole time. This is what it looks like.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
I reported the email a spam and ignored it. My
friend already paid for the venue and the cave, so
he is considering throwing some sort of impromptu fundraiser for
a local charity that day.

Speaker 3 (59:05):
Lovely, all right, what a guy.

Speaker 1 (59:08):
Wow, But it's probably too close to the date in
question to get the word out. Never too close, let's
get the word out. Just starts spamming Facebook being like, hey,
we're doing a charity event. Yep, this whole sequence well,
everyone who's probably going to the wedding is probably can
still come. Maybe not her side, but you can still
invite everyone else and be like, hey, no wedding, but uh,

(59:28):
we're doing a charity fundraiser coming out come on. This
whole sequence of events has me in utter disbelief. And
comment one says it doesn't math. Oh, the wedding was
supposed to be today. Can't wait for the follow up
where she the x crashes and trash is a charity
function because it was supposed to be her wedding reception. Ope,
he deserves a medal for discovering the mask coming off

(59:50):
just in time before everything gets so much harder. I
hope her friend finds peace. Opie says she did not.
She made some dramatic posts, but that's it. She also
stopped threatening to sue. You did make a complaint to
the ethics board for the industry my friend works in,
though they mostly deal with professional transgressions, not relationship ones,
so I don't think that will go anywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:00:11):
All right, And there you have it. There we go.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
You've been released from marrying a crazy person. Whoa wowie wow.
That lady is a lot piece of work.

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
Good luck, good buck. Hopefully find another person.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
Hopefully the charity event went well.

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
Yeah, that'd be sick to see. I've never heard of
that before a charity. That's a great idea to do
this for charity.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Yeah yeah yeah, But folks, that's the end of that
story and the end of this episode. So if you
