Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, this is Angie and this is Carly, your favorite
Okay storytime hosts, and we've got some great stories coming up.
But before that, we have a quick two minute break
from our sponsors that keep the show alive.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
My coworker kept pestering me, so I slept with her
son just to spite her.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Aha.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
I thirty three male work at a college. One of
the higher ups let's call her mommy.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Let's not call her mommy, ooh.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Has hated me since I was a student at that
same college, and she keeps trying to find a reason
to fire me. She constantly interrupts my classes, talks crap
about me to her students during her own classes, talks
trash about my exams, my teaching abilities, the success of
my students, and worst of all, she lies about me
to the chair of the department. Mm, not the chare, No,

(00:51):
it's just a room with a chair in it, and
she just says he's doing all these terrible things, and
the chair just sits her like this as chairs do.
In fact, it's been so bad that I've been applying
to positions elsewhere, and I have a chance of getting
a job at another college in a few months. Because
I effing hate waking up every morning knowing I'll have
to deal with her.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
By the way, this comes from a deleted user.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
I'm Dakota, I'm Savannah, and I'm Sophia and someone's messing
up back there. Get me back there.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Sure, John, do we are here to give good advice goofly,
but we don't have all the answers.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
We only know what we would do.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
So let us know what you do down in the
comments and op says.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
I also recently met her son, thirty mal.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Sonny Sonny Grinder.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
I like the name Sonny Sonny.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
It's funny because your blanket is full of clouds, so
you're cloudy. Anyway, we had several casual meetings, and by
our third days, he shared just enough of his life for.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Me to realize who he was.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
In fact, he's started telling me about mommy, and apparently
he hates mommy more then Mommy hates me. So I
felt encouraged to tell him I know her, and we
spent hours talking about all the ways she's treated us
like garbage. The worst thing she did was punt him
out when he was seventeen for being attracted two men

(02:19):
as a man, and then begged him to come back
and pretended she loved him while making his life miserable
because his grandmother threatened to cut her out of the will.
The thing is, Sonny and I kind of get along,
but we're not really each other's type.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
We both agreed on that.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Like the spices, sleep is good, but the rest is eh,
we have nothing in common.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
I love that He's like, yeah, I don't know. We
just we're not really each other's type. Like we already
slept together, but we're just not each other's type.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah, we bang, but we don't bond.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
You know, we bang, but there's no bond.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
However, Sonny had this idea to pretend we're an actual
couple just despite her and I like it. Sunny's birthday
is coming up and he's having a barbecue with his
friends and family, so he wants me to come so
that we can giggle and hold hands and kiss in
front of mummy. I told my girlfriends about it, like, ah,
listen to this funny story, and they were all appalled.

(03:17):
They said I was an a hole, a pervert, petty
which I agree with that part and that I have
no moral compass. They said they'd be very, very very
disappointed in me if I went through with this, and
to think of the rest of his family.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
I don't think anyone's going to disintegrate if they see
two gay guys kissing.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
I am, well, we'll have to keep you safe.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
They've also been ignoring me on messengers since last night. Lol.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
I honestly don't think it's that serious. I don't expect
mommy to get a heart attack and drop like a
fly or anything. I only expected to fume and feel
humiliated while not being able to react.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
In front of Grandma. Am I the a hole because
of it? Uh? No, that this is?

Speaker 2 (03:58):
This is awesome? Mean, what's up with your friends? They
just like, really respect authority. Now, she is not only
a teacher, she's a mother And how dare you? How
dare you mess with her?

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
She hates her gay son. What are you talking about?
Who cares what's going on with her feelings?

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, I want her to be a compass. Huh.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
I want her to be bothered. I would like her
to be bothered anyway. There's an edit here.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
One of my girlfriends finally replied to my messages, and
I very clearly explained to her that both Sonny and
I are in on it and that mummy deserves even
worse things. She said she misunderstood and thought I was
using him, and her interpretation was confirmed by the other
two girls freaking out and not letting me finish. Oh,
I see why. Okay, So they weren't upset about the

(04:45):
mommy thing. They were upset that You're like, oh my god,
you would like go out and like date this guy,
and like you're not really interested. And it's like, no,
we're both not really interested.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
We bang.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
There's no bond banging, Yes, bonding, Eh.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Although this seems like a bonding moment.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
You guys are both the slam Duncan on his.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Mommy, slam Duncan on his mommy.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
I don't like the weight they're slamming and they're Duncan.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
I don't felt.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Still no bond, no bonding.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Also, apparently one of the other two called me all
kinds of names behind my back because she was bothered
by me having spicy sleep with someone I'm not in
a relationship with. Well, that's interesting. If she heard what
kind of stuff I did when I was younger, she'd
have to wash her ears with holy water. Anyway, I think.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
That's really funny to be like seemingly okay with your
friend being gay, but to draw the line religiously with
them having spicy sleep with someone who they're not in
a relationship with.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah, like that's a sin.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
I don't even know if that's like a religious thing.
It feels like it's just like that's not right. It's
like you should be like committed to the person your with.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Sounds like a lot of whom.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
So, yeah, it does sound like a lot of hoopla. Oh,
he continues.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Anyway, that friend that reached out thinks I'm not the
a also yea for that, and there is an update.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
That really is the energy of this whole story. Is
it's just like.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
We're gonna make the mommy uncomfortable. Yeah, I don't think
you're crossing the lines here, man. So let's see, let's
see if you got a mission accomplished here. Update, All
my friends but one are out of my life. Oh oh,
she stayed friends with them and found out they don't
have a problem with this incident as much as they
do with.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Me being on grinder.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Apparently they find it gross that I have casual spacit times.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
I mean, wow, so you're mad at everyone on earth?

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Then, yeah, that's a long list of people to be
mad at.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
You hate, uh everyone?

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Okay, the job I had lined up will happen. I
had a call with them and they said they were
considering three people, but I'm most qualified and they need
to sort out some paperwork before they officially offer me
the job.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
It's abroad. What's her name?

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Ah? Whoa, wait, that was good, very good.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Just eating chips into the mic right now, I'm trying.
You're just eating chips into the mic.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
I've been doing this, Oh my god. Okay, I'm sparing everyone.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Before the party, I met Sonny's friends to solidify the
idea that we're a couple.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
We had drinks and.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Watched Game of Thrones at his place. At the party,
I came with a big gift. I embraced and kissed Sonny,
and he introduced me to everyone as his boyfriend. To mommy,
he said, mom, you already know Op from work, right,
we're dating. She was quite obviously angry, as as all
get out and very badly pretended not to be. I

(07:50):
smiled at her and shook her hand, and she just
dumped her food and left us.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
If I know anything about fake dating scenarios, they always
end up dating.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
It's true.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
You guys say that you have nothing in common, but
you're you're both conspiring against his mother. That's something in common.
I think y'all are bonding. You've done the banging and
now you're doing the bonding.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Oh, that wasn't part of the deal here. This was bang,
no bond, no attachments.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Granny arrived and she was super excited to meet me.
She asked if I met mommy. I told her I
already knew her from work.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
So she asked what she was like there, and I
said something diplomatic like there are good times and bad times,
just like at any job. I don't remember my exact words.
She took my hand and told me I seem like
a nice person and that she's happy son he has me. Oh, Grandma,
good Grandma.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
I like grandma.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Grandma said you know what, I know, your mom's homophobic,
but me, I'm with the times.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Do it, kiss right now, kiss right now.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
You guys can kiss as much as you want. I
give you the free Grandma Kiss Pass to fg E
KP their free Grandma Kiss Pass.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Use it anytime your heart desires. You can use it
up to ten times. You get a punch for her order.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Now you can use it up to ten times. Mommy
was in the kitchen the rest of the party, avoiding everyone.
I barely saw her again before she left at work.
She hasn't spoken to me. She usually starts pestering me
with her bs on Monday at eight o'clock in the morning,
but she hasn't said a single word to me, nor
has she looked at me.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Several people noticed and asked me what was going on,
and I said, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
We have a little bit left of this story.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Grandma has blessed your union.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Grandma has blessed your union, and I think it means
you guys have to stay.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, you gotta stay in this.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Grandma said, hey, it's all good with me. It's all
good in the hood. Huh. And then Mom's like never,
they're the devil's child. And then Grandma's like, I don't know.
You guys can kiss if you want, take a fixture,
all right, kiss, kiss you can kiss up to ten times.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
I just like the image that like Grandma's like so
nice and happy, but then like her actual child is
just like a demon, just like destroy them.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
I don't know you do that voice? So good? Thanks, Okay,
let's finish it.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Back to Saturday. After the party, I stayed to talk
to Sonny alone. He didn't seem to be in a
good mood, and I assumed it was because he expected
a worse reaction from mummy. But then he said he
had something to tell me. Apparently us meeting on Grinder
was in a coincidence. He came across my profile by accident,
but he recognized me from the staff photos from our

(10:41):
college's website. He said he was very sorry. He didn't
expect me to go with his plan at all. He
initially just wanted to rant about his mother to someone
who might understand. I guess I'm mostly okay with that,
but I wish he had told me sooner. But then
he also said he has feelings for me.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Shock it is Bond.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
There's the Bond.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
The bond is out in the open. Now.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
We thought we weren't going to get it, but James
Bond is here himself.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
We spend so much time together.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
We text all the time, we have dinners, we sleep over,
and it just happened.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
I'm not exactly cold as ice when it comes to
him either, but still, I will be moving away in August,
and there's the whole mommy situation.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
So yeah, I got not the a whole last time.
But I'm starting to feel like this is something I
really didn't need in my life. And that's the end
of that story. Dude. Number one rule of life. Sometimes
when you bang, you bond.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Oh number one, A bang is a bond.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Always no, No, I guess you're right.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Fine, don't put James Bond's name on that.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
My bang is my bond.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
The name's bang bang bond.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Or bond bang bond, bang bond band if the name's bond.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
I finished them.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
You finished all the pickle chips.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
There was like five handfuls left, and I ate the story. Yeah,
I was eating little bit slowly and now I would
like to lick my fingers.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
But that's discussing. I was.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
I'm going to wash them. Guys. Shut up. My boyfriend
and roommate planned a surprise for me, and it's really shocking.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Okay, so they did a good job.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Okay, So, as y'all know, this past weekend was Valentine's Day?

Speaker 3 (12:26):
Oh oh was it? Now?

Speaker 1 (12:29):
I didn't know that. For the past month, me female
twenty four and my roommate Jackie female twenty five, I've
been arguing and butting heads because we live in a
two bedroom apartment and she just found out she was
preggy and claims she doesn't know who the father is.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Oho.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
That is shocking.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
What are you guys arguing about?

Speaker 1 (12:49):
By the way, this comes from Beach's b Bonkers six
and if you want to submit your own stories, go
to the r slash Okay storytime Subreddan, I'm a Savannah,
I'm Da and I'm Sophia, and we are here to
give some good advice.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Goofy.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yet we do not have all of these big answers.
We would only know what we would do in this
small situation. But let us know what you would do
down in the big gunment section. Thank you. As OPI says,
she basically wants me to either move out or room
in the living room until I can afford to move out.
We have lived together for three years. She's best friends

(13:24):
with my stepsister. Female twenty six. We're not super close,
not best friends, but we were close enough to move
in together. If you get the idea.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Yeah, so you were friends.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah, so I got it.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
I've got that idea locked in.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
So this past Thursday, I got home early from work
and when I walked in, I was just settling down,
about to make something to eat, when I see my
boyfriend walking toward the door like he's about to leave
the apartment. I say, Jaden mail twenty five and ask
what he's doing there since I had just spoken to him,
and he said he was on his way to work.
He works on the opposite side of town, so he

(14:01):
would have no reason to be on this side of
town unless he was seeing me. He quickly stops and goes, oh, hey,
babe and tries to hug me, and I go what are.

Speaker 5 (14:10):
You doing here?

Speaker 1 (14:11):
And I go ooh, what are you doing here?

Speaker 2 (14:15):
The Californians really nothing. I'm going home, guys, I'm going home.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
You do know the Californian Savannah.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
That's what Greg's first sketch was based off of. Home, Guys.
It was based off of something. I just made that up. No,
of course, it's paste off of something Greg just copyrightes
everything he does, and I'll say it to his face.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
I feel like my walk off was dismissed. Yeah we didn't,
Yeah it was. It was dismissed.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
That's when Jackie comes out and says, oh my god,
we don't run a surprise they went. I was completely dumbfounded.

Speaker 6 (14:51):
She says, Oh, well, Danny I had a pretty big
gift that he couldn't hide in his apartment, so so
we wanted to hide in here for Medah, that was
fair because Jaden does live in a studio apartment where
he has to share a bathroom and has a husky,
So it's a good enough story for.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Me to believe.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Honestly, Shame on you for having a husky in a
studio apartment.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Shame on you.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
It's a dog that needs a yard. Shame on you anyway. Also,
you sounded like Jimmy Stewart when you read that, you
sound like lady version Jimmy Stewart.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
I don't know who that is. What guys if they're
not in my friend group, I don't know who they
are group, family or like a teacher of some sort. No,
I don't know. For context, me and my boyfriend have
been together for two and a half years. He rushed out,
saying he had to get to work. Everything was going normally.
Come Valentine's Day, me and my boyfriend had planned on

(15:41):
doing gift exchanges at my apartment and then going out
for dinner and a movie. So he comes over and
immediately I'm like, me first, me first, because I'm always
so excited to give gifts. I give him a pair
of Jordan's he had been constantly talking about, and a
gaming headset and monitor. He starts talking about how happy
he is, and then comes my turn. I get a

(16:02):
bag with Pandora on it, and I opened it. It's
a necklace. I'll mention that after all this happened, I
looked it up and the total was only twenty five
bucks just for the pendant. He bought his own chain
off Amazon for ten bucks. So I smile and say
thank you, and there was kind of an awkward silence
beef because I was waiting. He goes, O, what why

(16:23):
are you looking at me like that? And I laughed
and said, I know you still have that big gift
in Jackie's room. I never saw you take it out,
and I can still see it in her room. For context,
there's a really big Amazon box in her room that
was still taped up, never opened, in the corner, so
I assume that was my gift. He laughs and goes, oh, yeah,

(16:44):
they sent me the wrong thing, so I'll have to
take it back.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Huh, although that has happened to me once.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
But like, huh, I think this is a love actually
scenario and Alan Rickman is once again giving.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Only a DVD.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
That's I think this is a we actually scenario, and
it's we actually banged and that was the surprise gift
for you? Is I cheated on you with your roommate. WHOA,
that's gonna be the surprise gift. And then like in
the moment they were like, oh oh yeah, uh, there's
a giant gift in here that he can't fit in
his apartment.

Speaker 5 (17:19):
And that's who the mystery bother is.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Guys, I think he just bought the wrong gift.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Can't can't a girl believe?

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Can't go really just believe? I said, what were you
trying to get?

Speaker 5 (17:33):
What did they send?

Speaker 1 (17:35):
He says he meant to get me a gaming chair,
which is completely off topic considering I don't game and
never have.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
It's like, this guy's such a good liar.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
I was trying to get you like a saddle for
your horse, Babe. I don't own a horse, but I
thought you always wanted one, so when you get one,
you'll have one. He's like, no, I know you.

Speaker 5 (17:57):
Don't own a horse. Now that's why I'm I'm trying
to return it.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Hey, that's the whole point. Now you're getting it. You're
getting it, babe.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
What I actually asked for was a vanity or new
acrylic paints. Great gifts. He got really weird, So I said,
what's in the box?

Speaker 2 (18:15):
So I pulled a bread pit from seven and I
said what's in the box?

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Because I can tell when he's lying. And it just
did not add up. He kept saying he didn't know
that it's supposed to be a gaming chair.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Buddy, You're done. What's in the box the wrong thing?
But I don't know what's in there. But also it's
the wrong thing. And I was supposed to get you
a gaming chair, which is something I would want, but
I don't know what's in the box. Don't look in
the box. It doesn't matter what's in the box. The
box isn't there.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Oh buddy, you just you just dug your grave. I
got up and walked into Jackie's room and asked her,
do you know what's in that box? It was very
clear she felt caught off guard. She goes, well, obviously,
it's your Valentine's tay gift. So I said, let's open it.
I open it and lo and behold, not a gaming chair.

(18:58):
It's an Amazon box that had all obviously been retaped
and had multiple smaller packages inside. As I'm opening these packages,
it's baby clothes, bottles, diapers, basically everything and anything baby related.
Hundreds of dollars worth of stuff.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
That's not the gaming chair. That's the wrong. See. So
he was right, it was wrong. He's exonerated.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
I ordered a gaming chair. I have no idea why
they said baby items. I didn't order baby stuff supposed
to be a gaming chair for adults, adult gaming.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
I just mistyped. I typed in. I wanted to type
in gifts for gifts for my baby, but I typed
in gifts for a baby.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
See.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
That's my fault, That's.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
What I believe in.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
So I look at my boyfriend, who is now standing
in Jackie's doorway, and I'm just like, what is this?
Why would you go out of your way to give
her all this stuff. I had no idea.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
What to do.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
They're both looking so dumbfound then guilty. I asked what
is going on? And that's when Jaden just goes, this
isn't working. I think we need it in this.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
This is my lie. Isn't working. I think I just
need to disappear from your life.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
He grabs the gifts I gave him and walks out
the door. I start walking behind him. He quickly holds
the headphones up in the air because I'm five two
and he's a little over six feet tall, and.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
No way, he says, no, it's a gift.

Speaker 5 (20:27):
No take backs, like we're.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Freaking five Oh my god, uh huh, that's actually insane.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
No, he's like, oh sorry, this is working, you know.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
H No, no takes backs.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
He's no tasty, you can't reach in. Hush short, short girl.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
I'll tell you what you know.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
When his arms are up in the air, you know
what's exposed every other part of his body. Just putting
that out there, that's true, putting that out there. The
red baskets wide open.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Or you could have went whoop right in the win
wham bam right and his clam yes, ma'am, Yes, ma'am.
I said, okay, snatched the box of shoes out of
his other hand, walked back to my apartment and locked
the door.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yeah, you secured the Jordans. That's that's a smart move.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
I walk into Jackie's room and just say, why was
he here the other day? Why was he coming out
of your room? Just tell me the truth. I had
been thinking about that day in the back of my mind,
but I just didn't put two and two together that
they would have been cheating on me. He's never given
me a reason to think he would cheat on me.
And she goes with the most blank expression. Jaden is
my baby's father.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Just blank expression, right in your face. Jaden is my
baby's father.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Jaden is my baby father.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Jaden is having a baby. He is the father we're
going to have Jayden Junior. Google mother freaking Guga.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Gougis Goggs, Googis Goggis, Walter Walton Google Goggins. You don't
know Walton Goggins.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
No, oh no, yeah, he's not on the friend Liz
or my family. Sorry, I don't know. I literally had
nothing to say to her. I just said, hope it
was worth it, went back to my room and locked it.
I woke up a few hours later. Oh, so she
fell asleep. She was gone. I could tell she had
packed up a lot of her clothes. When I got

(22:31):
on my phone, the first thing I see is that
I've been added to a group chat with Jackie. Jaden,
my stepsister, and my stepmother all telling me that Jaden
ended the relationship because he needed someone more secure like Jackie.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Someone more secure like the woman you impregnated.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
I just don't understand why they had to like put
it in like a group chat with like the family,
be like, hey, just so you know, she'll probably tell
you some twisted version of the story, but really it
was because he needed someone more secure Like this, go
right here.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Right yeah, O. Jayden has done nothing wrong. Jaden is
simply living his truth. It's so weird, and op is
an insecure, dangerous woman.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Not only was it the group chat, but all of
them were privately messaging me about how we can work
through this as a family, and that my dad is
going to help me find a new place so Jaden
can move into the apartment and they can start their family.
They're just okay with that. They're just like cool.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Why do you have to be involved ever?

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Again?

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, I said so, my dad knows about this. My
stepmom goes no, but he knows that it's time you
and Jackie split apot and you retain your independence as
a woman. Long story short, I left the group. It
is now Tuesday. I haven't seen or heard from Jackie,
Jayden or my stepmom since part of me wants to

(23:55):
reach out to my dad because I know he probably
doesn't know the full story, but I don't know where
to go from this. Any advice, and there is an update.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
My advice would be, these people have no power over
you being involved in their life anymore. Like, sure he
wants to be with her, fine, leave me out of
it in perpetuity please, And that's that.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
I just don't understand why it had to be like
a whole family like affair. And then also like they're like, oh,
don't worry, we'll make arrangements where you can leave and
they'll have the apartment for their family. It's like, whose
side are you on?

Speaker 3 (24:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Well, I mean like, because I guess it. Jadeen's her
stepsister is Ian is a man or Jackie or sorry
no Jackie Jackie Jackie's her stepsister, so there is that
level of connection, but you don't need to be involved.
It's crazy, where's step mom? Why is stepmom and dad
handling Jackie? I just assumed she had to have been

(24:56):
a stepsister and I miss something because why Od's green Earth?
Is your family taking your friend and your ex partner?

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yeah? You you don't ever.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Have to be involved with the people again other than
just maybe seeing them around, you know, like a family event.
If they're gonna have this baby together, that's like, you
don't have to.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
I don't care. Leave me out of it forever, and Be's.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Like what literally what just happened? And I'd be like, Okay,
that's great, by guys. I'm gonna go cry in the corner.
I guess I don't know. Huh. Update my roommate is
pregnant with my boyfriend's baby two days later. Okay, I
just want to thank everyone for the advice on my
last post for those who were confused. Yes, my step

(25:44):
mom and my dad had an affair while he was
married to my mom for two years. She found out
she was pregnant, and that's when my dad suddenly decided
he wanted to step up and be a great dad,
just not to me and my brother, only to my
stepsister and baby's sister twenty six female and seven female. Wow,

(26:04):
very big range. My mom is still very much in
my life. She lives a few hours away with her partner.
There's distance, but she's always been there for me through
all this. My little brother, twenty two male, has really
had my back. I've had to stop him from confronting
Jaden a few times, but he's been crashing on my
couch for safety reasons. My mom is coming into town
so we can talk to my dad and get this

(26:26):
least situation handled. My landlord is doing a room inspection
and asking for updated past dubs and employment verification, which
I can provide. I know Jackie is going to struggle
with that because she only works fifteen hours a week
and Jaden only works twenty five. When I first found
out she was pregnant a month ago, she told me
she was ten weeks. She's super skinny, so I couldn't

(26:47):
even tell. I later found out she might actually be
twenty weeks. My stepmom said twenty five. When did this happen?
So it could have been ten, but more likely twenty.
But also it could be twenty five weeks.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
I mean, let's up it. Let's make it thirty.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
You know what sixty, take it or leave it?

Speaker 3 (27:07):
I got thirty five.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Eh, eh, my boyfriend said twenty one, So clearly somebody
is lying. I think they're all telling the truth, and
the baby's just trying to figure out for themselves.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
They're all telling their own truth.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
After talking to my brother, I think it might be
best for me to move, even if it's just to
another building. I don't like them knowing exactly where I live. Now.
About the monitor and head said he took. I had
a friend reach out to get it back. He sent pictures.
Both were clearly used, and the headset looked like his
dog had chewed it up. You want to break three
hundred dollars worth of gamey stuff? Fine? I went on Facebook,

(27:44):
joined a local selling group and sold almost everything from
that box. I made my three hundred dollars back and
told my friend to let Jackie and Jaden know they
didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Dang, So you got that stuff back and then resold it.
I thought you were saying you sold all the baby stuff,
and I was like, that seems kind of m a
shade of vengeful that I don't like. Like, fine, i'll
show you, I'll sell all of your babies things, but
you didn't. I don't think so good.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
How was I supposed to know that pregnancy is forty weeks?
I've never been pregnant sixty Take it or leave it.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
She's not friends with anyone who's pregnant.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Anyone who's pregnant, so I don't know.

Speaker 5 (28:22):
That's not even true.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Who's pregnant that I know? You have known your siblings,
Oh that's true, not my siblings, my sister in law. Yeah,
that's close enough. My sister in law has been pregnant,
and I have been around a pregnant.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
Well, but you do know how pregnancy is?

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Nine months and nine months is nine times four divided.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
By nine right, nine months, so ninety times.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Fifty two weeks minus twelve months for the three months
three weeks fifty two weeks.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
I need a piece of paper.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Fifty two minus twelve is forty.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
I need to show my work.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
Please. That's it. We did it. That hurt my brain.
I don't like that.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
I still didn't do it, and I'm just gonna move on.
My brain has done with that, and now I'm going
back to reading the thing I like most. Apparently they
went crazy banging on my door while I wasn't home.
Jackie didn't take her keys. They were yelling that there
was eight hundred dollars worth of stuff in there. I
price checked it, maybe five hundred dollars mass.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
No, it was the baby box. You sold all the
baby box stuff. Oh that was bad. That was bad.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
You did a crime. You crimed a little bit. I
think you crimed a little bit.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
But I didn't care about five hundred dollars. I just
wanted my three hundred dollars back, so I lowballed it
and sold it. I kept the car seat because I
know it's mandatory when leaving the hospital, and the pump
supplies her baby showers in a few weeks, and my
friend joked about regifting it to her. Ah, yeah, I know,
it's petty. Call me bitter. I don't really care anymore.
She was also behind on her car payments, and I

(29:54):
had been helping her because she didn't want her parents
to know. I didn't pay it this month, and I'm
not helping next month either. They even tried to charge
my card and I blocked it. Immediately. Apparently she's been
telling my landlord I plan on moving out in May,
which I never said. So that's fun. I'm hoping to
have another update Monday after we talk to the landlord.
This whole situation has put a dent in my life

(30:16):
and I'm just ready to move on. She can have him.
She was never a sister to me, and evidently he
was never my man. Ps. I'm not one hundred percent
sure about small claims court. I know how dramatic she
is and how dragged out that could get. I don't
have the time or energy for that right now. As
long as she agrees to move out, I'm good with
how it ended. There's a second update six days later. Hey,

(30:39):
it's Angie, your favorite fake redhead host here, and we're
going to get back to the stories. But here's a
three minute ad break from our sponsors.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Oh boy, they've talked to the landlord, the lord of
the land, and she's gonna be like, I'm also pregnant
with Jaden's child. Jaden junij JJ, JJ's at impregnating everyone.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
JJ, come out, Jake Ji. Okay, there is enough date
six days later. Okay, I know a lot of you
have been waiting for an update, so I'm just gonna
get straight to the point. Ever since my last post,
I've been getting non stop insults for my stepsister and Jackie.
They've also made multiple posts about me, and my stepsister
said she was disowning me and that me and my

(31:25):
brother just didn't make the cut. Saturday, I invited my
dad out to eat a local place we used to
go to when I was a kid. It was just
supposed to be me and him, but my mom was
there too. I did ask him not to bring my
step mom because he needed us to really touch base.
At first, he tried to reschedule, but I pushed enough
to get him to agree to come.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
Well.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
When he showed up, he brought my stepmom anyway. As
they were approaching the table, my step mom was already
making comments about how glad she was to have come
because I had ambushed him. I ignored her and told
my dad I was glad he could make it and
that we really needed to talk about my living situation
with Jackie. Before I could even continue, he started in

(32:06):
about how it's not fair how I've been treating Jackie
and a bunch of other off the wall comments that
I'm assuming my stepmom and stepsister fed him, so I
told him everything from Valentine's Day up until now. At first,
he was quiet, like he was trying to take everything in,
while my stepmom just kept trying to jump in. Eventually,
my dad said he needed to go to the bathroom
and was in there for about thirty minutes.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah. No, he's in there reassessing his entire life right
now after he'd been lied to. I'm sure because I
was over here like, ha, what do you mean your
being unfair to Jackie? She cheated with your man and
got pregnant with him.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
I imagine being there, like, get yourself together, get yourself together, George,
come on, come on, you know the right thing. Get
yourself together. And then he jumps out the window and
then I never see it again.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
You know what to do, George, yourself together, George, you
know what to do? Breaks through the glass, just dives
through it.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Is that dad running down the street.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Then he comes back, you know, he turns around at
some point, realizes he has to do the conversation.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
He comes back, he's covered in glass and cuts, like
what happened?

Speaker 1 (33:16):
He's like took a massive dump in there.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Don't ask a man about what goes on in his bathroom.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
For thirty minutes. During that time, my mom went in
on my step mom, what your.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
Mom is there? I when did you thought it there?

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Just the stepmom that was there because she said not
to bring her.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Mom parachuted in.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Mom mom could sense something was going on and parachuted
into the to the meal.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
She didn't just bring up my situation. She brought up
the divorce and now she wasn't going to let her
ruin my life too. My mom isn't loud or dramatic,
so I was surprised to see her this way. When
my dad finally came out, his eyes were red like
he'd been crying.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Allah cry, a cry because he realized they lie.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
He cried for the lie.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
He hugged me tightly and said he was sorry. That's
when my stepmom stood up and said, sorry for what
your daughter has a lot of growing up today.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Oh my god, stiff arm, I stiff, stiff arm. Get
away from me, stiff arm.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
And that's when my mom told her to shut the
f up. My dad said he couldn't believe all of
this was happening under his nose, but truthfully even though
I didn't tell him the full story before, I had
tried calling and texting him and didn't really get anything
back until I pressured him to meet, and even then,
he still brought my stepm on after I specifically asked

(34:42):
him not to. Saturday night, my mom came to my apartment.
She's always been good with finances, so we worked out
my budget and started looking at apartments closer to my job.
A lot of people asked why I don't just move
closer to my mom, but she lives in a pretty
rural area and I still do online schooling. My job
is really beneficial and I can't afford to lose it
right now. We got everything figured out. My mom boxed

(35:04):
up the baby stuff I hadn't sold, the car seat,
the front airbag pump, a few onesies, and a box
of diapers, and we dropped it off at Jaden's apartment.
My mom just left the box at the door, knocked,
and walked away. Our landlord did the inspection. Everything came
back good on my end. Jackie failed to provide paystubs
or paperwork and completely ghosted the landlord. Yikes. They were

(35:26):
in the process of evicting her. My mom's partner was
kind enough to offer to pay off the rest of
my lease, thank god. But then Monday morning happened. It
turns out my step mom paid to have Jackie's name
removed from the lease before she could be evicted so
she could have a clean start with her baby. My

(35:46):
dad also agreed to co sign for a two bed
apartment for Jackie and Jaden. My dad makes six times
the rent and Jaden only makes two times, so with
my dad co signing, it works out. In my head,
all I heard was I don't have to pay for anything.
So I signed the papers and went over everything with
my landlord and my mom. I asked my dad why
he still calls Jaden his son, and he kept referring

(36:08):
to him like he's his responsibility. Like for what reason?
Jaden has parents and his parents are well off. Fun fact,
my mom actually reached out to Jaden's parents over the weekend.
Turns out they knew he was with Jackie and apparently
I'm not wife material and not Dominican enough for their family. Mmmm. Racism. Mm,

(36:31):
it always comes back to the good old racism.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Yes, she does not fit our genetic design. The genetics
are far too not Dominican.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
M m off with her head. I think, yes, and
give me all your baby things. I need them for
my child, my new, well rounded Dominican child. Mmm.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
Yes, We're going to have a perfect Dominican baby.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Jaden is Dominican. My mother is black. My dad is
biracial white slash black stepmom step says Jackie Latina. So
what's the issue here? Seems like everyone's just different.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
The issue is you're simply not Dominican. This isn't to
you problem. Well, in a way, it is because you
are not Dominican. It's a me problem. I have a
problem with you not being Dominican. Dude, shout out the
Dominican Republic.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
Yeah, what is there even left to say about? This
is crazy.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
If your dad has co signed on your apartment, never
pay a single dollar of rent. He can take on
that responsibility since he wants to. I guess again, this
is crazy to me. This isn't even his stepdaughter. It's
just his stepdaughter's best friend. Yeah, and his stepdaughter's best
friend was the affair partner in his actual daughter's relationship.

(37:42):
Like yeah, and he's just like, there's nothing wrong with this.
It's insane.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
I know, I was given him, like, you know, like
the benefit of the down when he came out crying
from the bathroom and he was like, oh, I'm just
so sorry, you know, all this stuff. But then he
just makes it worse and pays for all of her stuff,
like I huh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Especially because he has his own family that clearly is
like fine with it and is like, yeah, oh great,
we like this because you're not Dominican. Sure whatever, you
can pay for his apartment. Why with my dad paying
for his apartment, at least he's paying for yours. I
guess if he's co signed on your lease. Yeah, free
rent City, it's his responsibility.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
From my perspective, Jaden's parents are going to work on
paying off Jackie's car because his car is a piece
of trash and they need something reliable for the baby.
It's wild how all this money suddenly appears when it
benefits them. It was my mom helping me, advising me,
and doing my budget. My dad was silent, and now
suddenly everyone has money and support to throw around. No

(38:42):
one's checked on me or asked me how I feel crazy? Mention,
but I hooked up with Tutti's Jackies. Fine, but brother
and it was funny as heck, talking smack about you
salutes after.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Cracking it was crack cracked down city. We went to
crack Down University. Oh and we talked.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
Oh and we talked. And no, there were no souls tied.
But he was a munchhert.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
What damn?

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Oh, I didn't need to know that. Shout out to
Diara and tat you. Since you want to stalk my posts.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Oh, let him know, queen, let him know.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
There's a freaking edit. Just found out her due date
is mid April, so you can go ahead and do
the math with that. I don't know when all this happened,
and honestly I cannot try even remotely to get into
it because that all was like scattered in my brain.
I need like the board with like the red red
string to add everything up.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
That happened in the middle of July. The middle of July.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
But that's the end of that story. And we have
another camarade up. Hey, it's Carly, your favorite Axilattel host. Here.
We're going to get back to the stories. But here's
three minutes of ads from our sponsors.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
I think my roommate is hiding a secret cat and
I'm allergic to it.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
Uh oh, bring up Ben Adrill.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Hi everyone, I twenty three female, currently live with my
best friend twenty two female and her ex boyfriend twenty
six male, and our living situation has been incredibly stressful,
but I think I'm at a breaking point.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
By the way, this comes from user more like fart history.
And if you weren't.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Submit your own stories, would I say.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Go to the r slash okay storytime suburn it.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
I'm Dakota, I'm Savannah, I'm Sophia.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
We're gonna give good advice goofly, but we don't have
all the answers when we read this story. We only
know what we would do, So let us know what
you would do in the comments, and op says two
days ago, while I was walking into the apartment, I
was on the phone with my boyfriend and thought I
saw a.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
Cat in my roommate's room.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
The way the apartment is set up, the window in
their room is right next to the front door.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
I didn't inside either.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
Their window was open and the cat was up against
the screen with fur poking through, almost touching me.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
As I unlocked the front door.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
I was shocked, and my boyfriend heard me react to
it in real time. I hesitated to ask my best
friend if there was really a cat, since I'm severely
allergic to cats and thought there was no way she
would get one without telling me knowing that fact.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
But I have doubts.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
There's a lot of context about our living situation, so bear.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
With me, Bear, Bear with me, bear.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
I just got to quickly point out, yeah, dog, you
saw a cat in her room. Like there should be
no room for question in your head. If you physically
saw a cat in the window. It's not like, is
there a cat in there? You saw the cat. The
cat is in there. Your roommate has this cat in
her room. There's no denying that.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Okay, I want to seek a cat.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
My last roommate situation with my ex best friend blew
up after she crossed multiple boundaries with me, so I
lived with her scared to come out of my room
for about ten months until she left in the middle
of the night, leaving me with a huge mess to
clean up. My best friend had been my rock through
the whole thing, and both she and her boyfriend helped
me clean up. They needed a place to live at

(42:16):
the time, and we're both unemployed, so I let them
move in with me, paying half and covering them for
a month until they got back on their feet.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
It's been eight months since then, and I've had.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
To get a second job to cover the rent for them,
as she is still job hunting for something full time.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
No.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
Oh, could have told.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
You having your two unemployed friends move into your apartment.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
Was a bad idea. I could have told you that.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
Yeah, I don't understand. Like I get like people are
very nice, they want to like help their friends out,
blah blah blah, but like you got to give them
like a deadline, be like, hey, listen, I don't know,
Like I wouldn't even I don't know. I wouldn't even
let someone do.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
It's so annoying.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Eight months and they're like, oh, I'm still looking for
something full time.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
Hey, buddy, you know what's better than no time?

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Part time? Yep, let's get something.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
Literally, I've only been paid half a month's worth of
rent total in eight months, sinking thousands of dollars into
covering for her. But I'm not mad about this part
of the situation. I'm making it work barely, and she's
promised me repeatedly that things are looking up so.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
I'm not too worried. What are you talking about, bro?
You need to be like, you need to pay me
back all of the rent that I've paid for you.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
Oh for sure. I mean, not only is that fair,
but that is lawful.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
Crazy that you're you're chill about that. You should be
zero percent chill about this. I'm moving back in with
my parents in August when the lease is up and
I can replenish what I've taken out of my savings
within a few months at most. The boyfriend was booted
out in January for being too violent.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
Ooh yikes. Okay, so this is just not a good
situation all around. Cool love that.

Speaker 2 (43:53):
Yeah, he was gone for a few months until he
was booted out of his parents' place and moved moved
back in by my best friend behind my back.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
She told me he was moving in.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
After he already had his stuff set up, instead of
discussing it with me first, which I'm still upset about,
but we've had long talks about it. My rule was
that this had to be very temporary and if they fought,
he was gone. Things have been peaceful since he came back.
The breach of trust, though, is why I think there's
a possibility that they have a cat in their room

(44:25):
and they're keeping a secret from me.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
Again, dog, you saw the cat.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
You saw the cat with your eyes. This freak.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
Is this not bothering anyone else? Is anyone else not?
Absolutely like wanting to scream. You saw the cat in
front of you.

Speaker 5 (44:44):
It is there.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
It's not like.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
Well, given all this other stuff that's happened to me,
I think it's possible they could be doing this.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
You saw the.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
Cat with your own eyes. It wasn't a trick of
the light. It wasn't illusion.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
Maybe it was a wig.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Hmmm, she got one of those movin wigs that makes noises.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
It sounds just like a cat.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
Okay, so Opie continues.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
Later that night, I texted her quote, Hey, sorry if
I'm crazy and just seeing stuff, but is there a
cat in the other room? She seemed as confused as
I was. She's also allergic to cats, albeit not nearly
as severely as I am. We tried to figure out
what I saw, and I couldn't even remember the color
of the fur, only that it was dark and sticking

(45:35):
through the window screen. She checked everywhere the next day
while I was at work and found no cat. I
came to the conclusion that the idea of her boyfriend
having a cat in that room as a secret from
both of us is so silly and convoluted. I've been
working eighteen hour days for a couple of months straight
and playing a ton of Minecraft, barely getting any sleep.

(45:57):
My best friend and I were convinced that I was
either so sleep deprived that I hallucinated a cat or
mistook one of her plushies for a living, breathing animal.
I hadn't heard any mews, smelled cat pee, or anything.
If there were a cat secretly living in that room
for the past month, I feel like i'd know. We
joked about this being a phantom cat or some kind

(46:18):
of ghost cat. But my allergies have been acting up.
It's spring, but they're acting up even crazier than usual.

Speaker 5 (46:25):
I mean, it's been a bad allergy season.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
Or or there's a cat. There's a cat in your road.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
I mean, it's not like cats are known to be
sneaky little creatures that can hide in all kinds of
cracks and crevices, are they. The one thing would be
the waist, where is the cat doing its business? If
the cat was doing its business in that room for
a month, you would know. So maybe it's the wast
If your roommate isn't just bold face lying to you,
which newsflash, people can do that, you might just have

(46:57):
a cat sneaking into your house somehow.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
And that's you know, what a gift.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
That is what a gift anyway, So this all convinced
me I needed to get more sleep, and I did
over the weekend. Last night, I was in the living
room and they both came in from grocery shopping. As
they walked in, I heard, plain as day a cat
meowing from the direction.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
Of their room.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
I don't want to believe that my best friend is
capable of gaslighting me and making me believe I'm seeing
things that aren't there.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
But I definitely heard a real cat.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
So you saw it and you heard it. If it
looks like one and it talks like one, it probably
is one.

Speaker 4 (47:36):
That's actually so crazy for the best friend to be like,
you're probably hallucinating.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
Yeah, that's actually crazy. I've heard gaslight that.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
And to be clear, once this comes to light, they
have forty eight.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
Hours to get out of this house.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
They got forty eight They're not on the lease, get
out of here, or I call the police and I say,
these people are not welcome my home. They were guests
and I would like them to leave.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (48:04):
They do potentially have the avenue because they've been there
for eight months. They can be like, well, legally we're tenants,
water's rights, but they don't sound like they're smart enough
to do that. I don't know anyway. In the living
room there is a lot of the boyfriend's stuff because
he doesn't have a car to keep anything in, and
among his stuff is a cat carrier, so.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
They have a cat. They have a cat. You've seen it,
you've heard it, and there's also something to transport it.
They have a cat.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
They're just gonna be like, no, that's my buddy. He's
in our room. You can't see him, and he just
likes to make cat noises. No one is this silly.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
This morning, I texted her again, are you sure there's
no cat?

Speaker 3 (48:44):
Like for real? For real?

Speaker 2 (48:45):
I definitely heard a cat last night and my allergies
have been really bad all weekend. There's a cat carrier
in the living room. Like, I feel like I'm crazy.
Was the cat that I heard outside? She replied, there
is one hundred no cat. The cat carrier is in
the living room, so boyfriend's parents don't try to ship
kitty his cat off somewhere else. The last time he

(49:07):
was booted out, his brother stole his cat and we
didn't get her back. For two years, there has been
a cat outside. It's a little girl cat that lives
across the next building. She usually comes around late at
night or early in the morning. I did see her
last night with the kids outside. And my allergies have
been out of whack all week. I can't breathe, and
I've been sneezing and coughing. If you keep your window open,

(49:29):
i'd close it because pollen is bad right now, that's
the only thing that's been making me act up allergy wise.
I'm not sure how to move forward from here.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
I mean not I to opie. Literally, I would just
go in the room. I'd just be like, yeah, wait,
I'm actually technically this is my room because I pay
for it. And I'd open the door and plain a
day it'd be mew and I go, oh, ah, what what, I'm.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
Not crazy what? You open up their room and it's like, oh,
there's a cat box in here. Like that's the one
thing is where are they keeping that to where that's
a secret You just never see into her room ever
at all.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
The lies that they're trying to come up with to
like be like, no, there is no cat. There is
no cat. It's like there is clearly a cat here,
like clear as day.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
It's it's insane that we need to trust ourselves a
little bit. I want to protect my health and avoid
making assumptions without evidence. You mean, like the evidence of
seeing the cat with your own eyes in that room.
I'm already planning to move out when the lease ends
because the financial situation isn't sustainable. But in the meantime,
I need advice on how to address this situation after

(50:38):
trying to broach the subject multiple times. Thanks for any
advice you can offer. And there are some comments. My
number one piece of advice was stop being the biggest
pushover ever.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
If I, you know, was allergic and like something was
affecting my health and like I'd be like, Okay, I
can't believe there there has to be something here blah blah.
Immediately I would just go in the room and look.
I would just go I'd be like, there's something in here. Sorry,
it's like really affecting my health. And you're also allergic,
so why you would try to hide this is beyond me.
But I'm gonna go in your room. I'm gonna find

(51:10):
this cat, and then I'm gonna tell you to leave.
I have a story.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
Just believe the evidence of your eyes and ears.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
You saw the cat.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Comment one, why don't you just go into that room
and find it? Opie says, we have an agreement not
to go in each other's rooms.

Speaker 5 (51:26):
You also have an agreement not to have cats.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
Yeah, you also had an agreement that they were gonna
get on their feet and pay you your rent.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
And it's been eight months.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
Yeah, Like there's been agreements, but none of them have
actually gone into effect.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
You know what this is giving me?

Speaker 2 (51:39):
This is Oh, he's giving me the same energy as
have you seen No Country for Old Men? It's she's
giving me the energy of the guy from old No
Country for Old Man? That helps Javier Bardein's character and
just stands there while he's like putting the cattle, like
the cattle, yeah, an esthetizer up to his head, yeah,
and just like does it.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
Oh, he's just oh, pe.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
Would just stand there be like, oh, are you doing
anything bad? And he just goes no, Oh are you sure?
It feels like ominous.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
No, He's like, what are you doing? What are you doing?

Speaker 3 (52:08):
What are you doing to me?

Speaker 2 (52:10):
If I'm wrong and snoop on them, then personally I
don't feel right about it. Oh my, if I hear
me owing while they're not home, I'll definitely check. Though
A reply says, okay, you also have an agreement that
they will pay rent and that's not happening, so Opie says, okay,
okay hashtag truth bomb. You're right, I'll check when they're

(52:33):
not home, so I'm not barging. In A reply to
this says, buy some dry cat sweets or unseasoned fish,
put it in the middle of the room. Rattle the
remaining dry food in the package. Most pet cats know
that sound and leave if the snacks are still there
an hour or two later, there's no cat or a
locked up cat in a cage or something. Just go

(52:53):
in the freaking road, Opie says, solid advice. Thank you
so much, and there's an update. We're gonna get the
tr go in.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
The room, going the rise before I make you go
in the room.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
I think there might be a cat in that room.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
I'm going in the room. You know what, Screw this,
I'm going in update.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Thank you all for replying. I appreciate it. I was
convinced this was the outdoor cat and her ex let
it in while she wasn't in the room, so she
had no idea and this was maybe just a one
time thing. It made sense to me for just a
little bit. I felt like the Joka from the Joker
movie when he found out he imagined his girlfriend, but
I thought that was the end of it. I felt

(53:30):
like the Jokeler from the Junkler movie. I now know
that the cat is very much real. I saw it
in the same spot last night while they weren't home
and heard it meowing. It's a very cute black and
white cat. I confronted my best friend about it over text,
and she fessed up. The cat was given to her
by a coworker and she didn't know what to do
and didn't want to take the cat to an animal shelter.

(53:50):
She's been trying to find a person to take the cat,
and no one wants him.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
She assumed.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
I hated her for not paying rent and moving in
her ex without telling me first. I was a little
too understanding in both of those situations, but I did
not hate her and didn't want another reason for me
to hate her, So she elaborately lied and gas lit
me to hide this cat, which, for God's sakes, what
a great reason to hate somebody.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
Yeah, she's given you three good reasons.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
What just give in, op bro, do not forgive this person?

Speaker 3 (54:20):
You go?

Speaker 2 (54:20):
Hey, So, I just want to let you know you
lying and gaslighting me about the cat actually many magnitudes
worse than just telling me exactly what you told me
right now. So for those reason, Sharks, I'm out. You
have to leave my apartment now for those reason, Sharks,
and we are up on the tail end of this,

(54:41):
and you better be telling this woman to leave.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
Yeah, if you let these people live here still by
the end of this, OHPI, I don't feel bad for
you. You are putting yourself in this stupid situation. Grow a
brain and grow some other stuff and get the job done.

Speaker 3 (54:58):
It's time.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
I'm honestly impressed with the OPSEC because I can't smell
pee and I never heard the cat unless both of
them weren't home, which is a pretty rare occurrence. Not
op dropping operational security. Like in the story, I was
impressed with the opset op seck.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
It shut off.

Speaker 3 (55:15):
That's awesome. But I'm not crazy.

Speaker 2 (55:18):
I'm not sick for no reason, and I don't need
to get my brain and or eyes checked because of
a phantom cat. Well you need to get your brain
and eyes checked because you like didn't believe them. Anyway,
it's safe to say the friendship is in a rough
spot or most likely over, and they're getting booted out
and are set to leave on Sunday. So hopefully I'll
be able to breathe in my own home now. Thank

(55:38):
you all for reading. And that is the end of
that story, and I think, hopefully the end of that friendship.

Speaker 3 (55:43):
Thank God, wowsers.

Speaker 1 (55:45):
I hope that all of this just goes away and
you get your house back and everyone just shuts the
heck up. I hate everyone in that story.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
But also, how Daari, how dare you have allergy to cats?
How dare you stop believing in your allergies? They just
you guys, just believe you're allergic. Just stop stop believing.
It's like Santa, don't stop believing that's why you're allergic.

Speaker 3 (56:15):
You won't stop believing.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
Yeah, all right, anyway, we have some comments from the
video my landlord is destroying My marriage, posted on February
nineteenth of this year.

Speaker 3 (56:27):
Her twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
The TLDR for story one is op put up colorful
Christmas lights and a big inflatable snowman outside her new home,
not knowing her HOA had a secret forty seven page
rule book banning exactly that. The HOA hitter with one
hundred dollars a day fine and posted a photo of
her house on the neighborhood facebook page so everyone could
pile on. Op wanted to fight back, but the fines

(56:51):
kept adding up fast. Her husband begged her to take
the decorations down before they lost thousands of dollars. They
had the worst fight of their marriage, and in the
end her husband went outside in the cold and took
everything down himself, while OPI watched from the window and cried,
Now they owe five hundred bucks. The snowman is deflated
on the grass, and OPI still has to go beg

(57:11):
the HOA board to cut them a brake.

Speaker 3 (57:13):
Will they get their money back?

Speaker 2 (57:15):
Or is this HOA president about to ruin Christmas for good?
If you're curious to know the full story, You can
go watch the full video.

Speaker 4 (57:24):
And we've got some comments from that story. San Yuri says,
I feel like the Hoa situation is more about not
having control of what she does with her own home.
F the Hoa, imagine working so hard to buy your
dream home just for some Karen's drunk on power, picking
on you, specifically to tell you that you can't even
decorate in the way you want. Just because she might

(57:45):
not currently have a job doesn't mean her feelings aren't valid.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
About the issue.

Speaker 4 (57:49):
We don't know what else is going on in Ope's life,
nor do we know why, she says attached to the decorations.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
But that doesn't make her feelings on the matter silly.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
No, I disagree it does. If it's one hundred dollars
a day, Yeah, she.

Speaker 4 (58:01):
Lose, like I think almost it was either five hundred
dollars or it was one thousand dollars over and her
husband said, please please take them down.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
Yeah, it's just simply simply not worth it.

Speaker 5 (58:13):
Crystal Sulivan says, which is exactly why I will never
live in an Hoa.

Speaker 1 (58:17):
Screw that up.

Speaker 5 (58:18):
I will not be told what I can or cannot
do with my own dang house.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
I do agree with that.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
Yeah, if I ever own a house and there's an HOA,
I'm gonna know exactly whatever is going on, because like
in principle, they they make sense, but it then like
in practice they are always just like ran by power
hungry insane people.

Speaker 3 (58:37):
You know.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
It should just be like, yeah, you can't have like
a hole in your roof hoa.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah you can't.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
You can't light your front yard on fire, yeah hoa.

Speaker 1 (58:48):
That My mom now lives in like a condo and
like an HOA place, and they're not allowed to like decorate,
you know, like Christmas and stuff like they can't put
up like Christmas lights.

Speaker 3 (58:58):
That is just like that's so stupid. It has nothing
to do with property values whatsoever. It's Kris Christmas.

Speaker 5 (59:03):
You can't have a.

Speaker 1 (59:03):
Shepherd's hook in your yard? Yeah, a shepherd's I don't
know why, Well, because my mom has one. She puts
like the plant on it, and they literally were like
you can't have that. Oh my mom is like, I'm
getting on the board and all those eighty year olds
are going down.

Speaker 4 (59:17):
Kate shellye Bo says Hoa's for neighborhoods with free standing
houses are nuts. They need to exist for certain homes
I attached townhouses, condos, anything with shared major elements like
roofs or driveways, et cetera, and common from cat Angeline.
Something about story one very much rubbed me the wrong way,
as Opie's course of actions seems selfish, ungrateful, childish and

(59:40):
irresponsible to me. HOA rules suck, but it is what
it is. It's common knowledge that hoas can sometimes be
very strict, So just don't move there if you don't
want somebody having a say and what you do. At
the end of the day, they're just decorations and not
having the exact ones you want will not affect your
life in any meaningful way. Paying hundreds or potentially thousands

(01:00:01):
and fines sure.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
Well though, I mean that's the thing is, if you
got the money to throw around, you know, those rules
are just suggestions.

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
But you don't. So yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
They'd have to take me to court to get that
money from me. Man that they probably have, like I
don't know, access to my opinion.

Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
It's so stupid down with the HOA.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
But that is the end of those comments in the
end of this episode, So if you love us, make
sure you subscribe.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
We love you and see you tomorrow.
