Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, this is jonnas is Sam your og Okay Storytime
podcast hosts.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
We have some great stories coming up.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
But before that, we have a quick two minute break
from the sponsors that keep the show alive.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
My fiance sided with my estranged family, so I called
off our engagement. We gotta pick a side one day,
well said throwaway account. I appreciate it if you would
give me your honest opinion as I'm being pressured from
everyone except my aunt to go against my wish. I'm
a thirty year old woman. I've been with my fiance
Sarah for the last five years. We are the same

(00:31):
age and we met at grad school. By the way,
this comes from user alternative tale sixty nine ten on
the r slash okay Storytime subreddit. So when I was thirteen,
my loving dad passed away. He left a decent amount
of money for us. My mom within six months got
engaged to a guy named Bob. Bob had a daughter
around my age. My mom married Bob within a year

(00:51):
of my dad's passing. Bob really hated me from the
start and didn't even try to hide it. He was
saying stuff like how my mom should have sent me
to Barting school, now, if it wasn't because of my
dad's inheritance, he wouldn't even have me in his house,
or I'm a gay sler because I was in our
school sports team and very athletic. He multiple times told

(01:12):
my mom he doesn't feel safe when his daughter is
around me. I wasn't even out of the closet, yet
he used this as a reason to exclude me pretty
much from everything.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
My mom, on the other hand, was going above and
beyond to prove to Bob that she is the new
mom for Bob's little princess. Oh boy, they ended up
having three more kids to.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
Prove a point.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
I guess I don't know. This feels like very bad
dynamic between Opie's mom and Bob.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Basically, I was a roommate who did babysitting for my
mom and her new family. I never had a birthday
party or a special day. My dad's sister was amazing
to me. I was at their place all the time.
She and her family had birthday celebrations for me, and
my mom was making excuses not to show up, and
of course the rest of them never showed up either.
I was really my aunt and uncle's daughter. They were

(02:02):
amazing to me. When I left for university, I contacted
my mom a few times, but she was always busy,
so I just gave up. Here is the issue. Sarah,
my fiance comes from a very family oriented background. Family
is everything to her. Her family asked about mine. I said,
my dad passed away and my mom is busy with
her family and lives across the country. She lives one

(02:23):
hour drive away from us. But this is what Sarah
told them, so I just didn't correct them. I didn't
lie technically entirely. Sarah asked me to invite my family
to our wedding. I told her no. She said that
it's very embarrassing having only my aunt and her family
on my side, so I reluctantly invited my mom. She
called and asked me to apologize to Bob and my

(02:46):
step and half siblings for not inviting them and invite
them all. I told her.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
No, dude, Yeah, good job, Opie. So the couple is
saying you need to do this.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
I think her partner just said, you gotta invite your family.
It's like it's gonna look weird.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Dude.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
I don't know. I don't know how I feel about that.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
No, I'm definitely not giving that apology, that's for sure.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
If the stepdad was towards Obi, you want that at
your marriage?

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, absolutely not. She said that I'm being ungrateful and
Bob was a father figure to me. Oh brother. I
had a big argument with my mom over this. My
mom now says the only way she comes is if
I invite Bob, his daughter and their kids. Sarah is
now pushing me to invite them all because she doesn't
want to feel embarrassed in front of her family. These

(03:30):
people never even gave me a card or said happy
birthday to me, so I see no reason to celebrate
my big day with them. There we go. I, on
the other hand, don't want to let my fiance down. Yeah,
OPI I'd argue that your fiance is letting you down
right now. Oh yeah, yeah, by not, you know, fiance
is being too narrow minded or like, well, she's got

(03:50):
tunnel vision on the optics where it's like, hey, maybe
don't bring my home stepfather to our wedding, just to ask.
Maybe that might be a good idea. Maybe that's like
the smart thing to do. Yeah, I just don't know
what to do. Should I swallow my ego and invite
my family so my fiance will be happy. I suggested eloping,
but Sarah is a firm no on that. Am I

(04:12):
the a hole for ruining my fiance's day by not
fulfilling her wish? Honestly, if having these people who don't
care about you at your wedding just for optic reasons, yeah,
ruins the wedding for your fiance. I don't even think
she's getting married for the right reasons. Feels like she'd
be getting married for optics. Sarah knows everything about my life.
My aunt even talked to her about how they treated

(04:33):
me when I was growing up. So there's now no contacts.
Sarah knows, she knows. Sarah knows everything at a number two.
I will have a serious talk with Sarah tonight and
I'll try to update soon. And we got the up day.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Oh no, I think Sarah's still gonna push for the
optics because this is what her big day was always
supposed to look like. Yeah, and doesn't meet OPI where
she is and Opie knows her along on the sand
let's find out.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Thank you for your comments and dms. They really gave
me perspective on my life. I sat Sarah down last
night and explained my reasoning for not inviting my family.
She kept saying that was a long time ago, they
might not be the same people anymore. I felt offended
and said, how on earth are you lecturing me when
you've never even met them, which that's also very fair.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
So it turned out my mother had been in touch
with Sarah.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
Sarah said they regularly meet for coffee dates and talk.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
I was about to cry because I was so angry.
My mom changed the whole narrative, saying Bob was a
father figure, a good protective dad, and that it was
me who didn't love him back, because apparently it's my
thing to play the victim. Oh no, she claimed, my
aunt manipulated me and stole me from their family, trying
to be a replacement for my mom, who, according to her,

(05:55):
it's all about my mother. I screamed, are you for real?
Ask her no next time on your little coffee day.
Why I never had a birthday party growing up? And
why was there never a gift under the tree for me?
Ask Bob if he even knows when my birthday is?
Since he's such a loving dad. Oh my gosh, why
did my aunt have to pick me up before Christmas Eve?

(06:16):
Because Bob wanted to spend the holiday with his kids
and not another man's mistake.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
You're dropping the bombs on her.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Holy count and she needs it, Sarah. I understand meeting
the mom once without letting opino, but regularly that's red flack.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
I mean, yeah, it's you know, all the contexts, but
she's so family oriented. She's like, there's gotta be something
else here. Oh yeah, and then little miss family oriented
is getting hyper manipulated by Ope's mom. Sarah basically repeated
what my mom has told me my whole life. You
just love to make a big deal out of everything,
make yourself a victim, and push everyone away.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
I told her she had no right contacting my mom.
She said I was cruel and claimed that she was
just trying to help me mend my broken relationship. She
even called my mom lovely and said Bob has changed
a lot. He's now an LGBTQ ally now that his
princess is out, well.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Maybe Bob should then call you and apologize. Yeah, Bob
needs to take a little initiative. Yeah, how about you
come out with an apology.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
I was floored an ally, Well, maybe he should start
by apologizing to me for terrorizing my entire childhood. Yeah,
but you'll never need to apologize to us for terrorizing us.
When we go live every weekday at three pm PST
on Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch, all you gotta do
is tap our profile. Let's consolidate our thoughts here, Like

(07:38):
there is a chance, you know, I mean maybe sometimes
we end up finding in a partner the thing that
we are. Sort of it's like you you become that
which you hate the most, or like you end up,
you know, dating somebody who's like, you know, like reminiscent
of like a toxic figure in your life or something.
So either that's what happened to Op and Sarah ended
up being another toxic addition to her sort of you know,

(08:01):
inner circle or ohp, he's actually an unreliable narrator and
her girlfriend is trying to mend the bridge. But I
I highly doubt that there's no.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
Zero one one point zero zero zero one percent chance.
There's no way for us to know.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
I just I find it hard to believe too that
she meets up with the mom and gets manipulated so hard.
But also I guess I don't know, like after you
already know, after you've heard everything that OP went through.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Imagine the mom is Betty White in her sixties and
she's that nice. That's probably what the game she's pulling
right now.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Oh, she's just a mess. She's a straight up master manipulator.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Yeah, sweetest face ever, sweet tongue to go along with
the line, I believe that.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yeah, I believe it. That's what I'm thinking that. I
think you're right on the money, dude. I think she's
got the silver tongue. Oh he's changed. He would never
say that about Ope, his own daughter's gay. Now Yeah,
it's like, oh, well did he call hr slurs? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (09:01):
Why wasn't the partner asking these kind of questions because
I would be in full productive motive like that happened
to my pro partner.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Yeah, you know what, And it's weird for her demand upfront,
being like, these people are coming to the wedding because
I don't want it to look embarrassing to me.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
Ooh, maybe there's a little bit of financial we'll pay
for the wedding if you get us in contact with OPI,
which I thought that this would make sense if it
was a hetero couple, because the family would want to
come back in and be like, oh, they're about to
have kids. Yeah, I want grandchildren in my life. I'm
not really sure what the mom's motives here is so
she can have attention on her big day. I'm confused

(09:36):
on that end. What does the mom want out of this?

Speaker 2 (09:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
It's so hard to say. The inner mechinations of her
mind is an enigma. I told Sarah, we're done, all right,
good for you, op all right, I can't do this.
Sarah sarcastically said, you just proved your moum's point. Go
run to your aunt. Let that old witch ruin your life.
I told her she needs to find a new place
as soon as possible, considering she's not paying rent.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
Oh wow, I am, And here come the red flags
just flooding back in.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Oh my god, she's a hobost.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
She got mad and asked what excuse I was going
to make up this time to justify my BS trauma.
I stopped replying. She went on a tirade, breaking our
dinner plates. I didn't care I texted my aunt and
she asked if I wanted to spend the night at
her place. I said I was fine. I'm taking time
off from work. I cleaned up the kitchen, which was
full of broken dishware in the morning because I didn't

(10:28):
want my cats to accidentally get hurt. Sarah is still sleeping.
I'm going to see how I can legally evict her.
I'm a complete mess, but I'll talk to my aunt
and uncle for help. Yes, I am not starting to
date again until I see a therapist and work on myself.
I can't keep going through this. Oh no, happened multiple times.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
The evil Betty White. Get to your next partner.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
I mean, at this point, call the police on Sarah
and have her forcibly removed and say this person is
not welcome in my home.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
She won't leave.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
I tell her to. She doesn't pay rent, She's legally
not on any piece of paper that can lie to
stay here. Make her leave.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
I seen that.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Sun is the end of that story, and I hope
that your life is doing much better.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
My fiance's prenup demands are unfair. I don't see myself
marrying him now.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
The prenuptial agreement has turned into a disagreement.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
I female thirty seven, recently got a lump sum for
a career project that turned into a whole company Wow.
I got into an agreement with the company that has
been reselling my services via out licensing and long term
corporation JVS. When I signed the paperwork, I felt like
I had the opportunity to build a financial future, but

(11:34):
my relationship wouldn't be affected. This has not been the case,
and I'm very put off to the point of breaking
our engagements. By the way, this comes from Upper Yesterday
thirty seven ten on the r slash Okase storytime Subredding.
So we've been together for four years. I met him
on the last leg of my struggle to get what
has become my working life's motivation. This project has been

(11:56):
all consuming, and aside from that, I only had time
for my family. I have very good friends, but everyone
is busy. I did a day or go out. When
Sean Mail forty three came along, I was swept off
my feet because I wasn't expecting to find someone that
I like so much. We shared the same sense of
humor and I became really attracted to him. Both emotionally

(12:19):
and affairs gotay. Sean is divorced. He has average office
assistant skills and works for a small government agency. Our
salary gap was not a huge deal, as I invested
a lot on my project, so whatever money I kept
for myself went to my priorities that are non negotiable.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
I really want to know what this project is.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
I take care of my family and pay bills. He
did have hobbies that he spent time on, but when
I met him, he was in between jobs and had
to wait four months until he became active at his
new job at the agency. We were both thin on money.
I was very happy to have a guy who didn't
pressure me to wear certain styles. I am more of

(13:02):
a flat and comfy clothes lady. When my ex before
him demanded that I look trendy and said things that
nullified my self esteem. I knew he was on food
stamps very briefly and chalked it up to a bad
situation that was temporarily. There was a huge mutual acceptance.
We tried to start a small consulting company, but it

(13:24):
didn't work out. I noticed that he wasn't ready to
co manage, and after a long conversation, we mutually decided
to call it off. We had been talking about marriage
for a while, and when he proposed the subject of
a prenup was no surprise, as we had already agreed
on having one even if I had nothing. I see

(13:44):
it as a way to protect ourselves and each other
from potential situations. I am in a niche market that
deals with loss prevention, and I've seen people get into lawsuits.
We get drafted a plan, but had some tints moments.
He closed off at the lawyer's office and created a
tense environment. During our second meeting, Nothing that we had
agreed on was getting followed through, and he kept asking

(14:06):
for things and raising the bar. He got his own lawyer,
which would have been okay, except that he never told
me and his attorney showed up and I didn't even
know he hired one. We had to pause the prenup
after he almost bit my head off outside of my
lawyer's office when I refused to give him his daughter's
share of my existing company. That's a no go for me,

(14:29):
and I'd rather stay unmarried. I had built that company
to leave something to my children. Yeah, I'm the only
parent looking out for them. As my ex has been
kind of deadbeat. Sean wasn't even in the picture when
I started it. I will not create a trust fund
for his child like he asked. None of these requests
have been previously discussed, but came up once since the

(14:51):
lawyer showed up.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
How are you gonna switch up like that? You're gonna
You're gonna be like, yeah, oh, we agree, this is
how the prenup should be. We're just really doing it
to cover our base. As soon as he gets his
own lawyer involved, game over red Flag. He's sneakily hired
another lawyer and is trying to steal what is essentially
your life's work and give it to his kid just

(15:14):
because he's like, well, on principle, he should do that,
because don't you love me and you.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Love my kid.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
I did agree to help her financially, give her an
allowance and help pay for a car. I also agreed
to pay full health insurance and contribute to her college housing,
contribute to her education.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
Yeah, so already going above and beyond in terms of
what like a step parent, yeah, okay would be expected
to do.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
She has a successful mom, so my logic is that
she already has someone willing to give her a good
start in life, since Sean isn't financially able to his
daughter is an adult, eighteen female, while my kids are
in grade school and I need to make sure that
they are taken care of, while she's already at an
age where she can get a job. Yeah, this makes
no sense.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
Yeah he's just being greedy about it.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah he's like, oh, I'm not financially able to do this,
but my new partner can do that for.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
Me being a little lee, he's being a leech.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
No.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
I offered to contribute to a fund for her first home,
but it seems like nothing I offered was good enough.
I love his kid, but I didn't raise her, and
she will never see me as her mom. And I
respect that her mom's family owns a business and her
mom owns her home in a very good area. It's
not like she depends on me to have a good life.
I wanted it to be fair since her mom, Sean

(16:27):
and I could contribute. So Sean and I had an
argument because he sent me a breakdown of how much
I'm supposed to make off my business over the next
few years.

Speaker 5 (16:38):
What.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
I lost my temper because it felt like a gotcha situation.
This is kidding.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
He's like, well, you, well, if you're not gonna give
my daughter shares of the company, then this is exactly
how much money you need to be making in the
next X, y and z years.

Speaker 4 (16:51):
Approximately, you're gonna make this much. So as I'm I
was supposed to go to my daughter, so I know
I have to work.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
He is crazy, dude.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
I confronted him about my own kids and asked what
he would contribute to them.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
Oh yeah, hey, you give and take. All you're doing
is taken. He went silent. So I said I wanted
their names on the deed to a piece of land
that he owns but hasn't been able to develop because
he doesn't have the funds. Oh wait, Oh, she's trying
to flip. She knows how to flip.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
The real estate though, dude, I mean she's the successful
of course she knows how to do all this stuff.
He was surprised and accused me of trying to dilute
his inheritance to his daughter and being generally unfair since
she has less than what my kids will end up having. Well, yeah,
because you're the lesser half.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Hey, did you hear that? When you said that my
kids your kids, oh my kids your kids as your
kids are yours and my kids are mine.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
Good catch. I just wanted him to see my point,
but I made things worse. We used to be able
to talk outside of the prenup, but now if I
don't get his sarcasm, it's his dry behavior that is
driving me crazy. He said he's surprised at my greed
and accuse me of ostracizing his child. I'm trying to
figure out if I came across as a bad stepmother. Also,

(18:12):
I'm not ruling out helping all our kids to start
their own businesses if they want to, but I can't
guarantee its success since we're not there yet. But you
can be successful by tapping our profile and joining us
live every weekday on YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook. How we
feel deal or no deal?

Speaker 3 (18:29):
I mean, first of all, I think if I'm putting
myself in the shoes of the daughter who's eighteen, right,
or it's like I forget I put myself on my
own shoes. I have a step parent who's got like
a money right or like a part of a company.
It's not even really liquid assets that they're talking about.
They're talking about like shares of a company. I'm eighteen.
If she doesn't want to leave some of that to

(18:51):
me and she wants to leave it for her kids,
I think I'm old enough for her to have that
conversation with me directly and not have to have this
weird preem up middleman where it's like like, if this
is what you want, this is what you want, and
I have to be okay with that because you're not
my mom. Those are your kids, and you built this
for them. It was your driver. I think it's really
the biggest issue though, is I don't even think it's

(19:12):
not the daughter, it's.

Speaker 4 (19:13):
The husband is being like very greedy. He's reprojected everything
that he's doing.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
This would be a big red flag to me that
this guy is, you know, suddenly becoming like militant about
what needs to go down.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
With the Peena.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
Yeah, it's like you kind of planned it for.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Him to hire his own lawyer behind your back after
you guys had already agreed like we're just doing this
to keep things smooth. Then he immediately does something to
unsmooth the whole process. I don't know, he's the issue here,
not you. I'm for sure.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
Yeah, Canceling the engagement sounded like the most sensible decision,
and I'm astonished this was actually happening. Yep, I don't
know how to navigate. His last messages have been very rurful,
and he says, I'm showing my true colors. And he
told me thank you for my to honesty about how
I truly feel about his daughter. No, no, he's not

(20:04):
getting it.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
He's the one. He's the one showing you who he
truly is. He's trying to weaponize his own daughter to
make you feel emotionally responsible for really like something that
needs to be worked out with her biological mom, who's
who's successful already.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
My best friend is pissed and threatens to put him
on blast if he keeps us up. I'm confused since
I didn't expect our relationship to end up like this.
Am I the a hole? And we have a update.
I broke up with him since the whole deal felt
like a bitter divorce rather than steps towards a married life. Yes, right,
so you know ynestly?

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah good?

Speaker 4 (20:36):
You know decisions like this are the reason why you're
so successful in life, and trust your gut you have
You're killing it, girl, keep it up.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
It's definitely for the best because this was not gonna
stop here. He was gonna was gonna rag it. He
sounds like he was just coming for the money.

Speaker 4 (20:50):
Penny and dom your girl. Yeah no, no, get good
job getting rid of this legion because you're about to
blow up.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
He sees it.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
He knows the potential.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
Why is it that people always project in these situations
where it's danks for trueing and showing your true colors.
It's like, you're the one who did that, dude, Go
build your own company.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
Yeah, my guy, Well that's the end of that story.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
It is the end of that story. Hey, it's sam'
your og host Here.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
We're gonna get back to the stories. But here's three
minutes of ads from our sponsors.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
My boyfriend tried to test me with my dog. I'm
choosing the dog over him. Bart set your priority straight.
My dog is a little crap I female thirty five
love the booger, but my goodness, last week she got
out of the backyard while I was busy cooking my
boyfriend's dinner for his birthday. My boyfriend, Mike m forty,

(21:34):
let the dog out during this time and didn't stay
out with the digging a hole. When I went back
to call her in, she was nowhere to be found.
I live in an active city on an active road,
and I naturally was worried about her. But my boyfriend
says she should be fine, as we are well known
in the neighborhood for our clockwork walks and someone will

(21:55):
see her and bring her back. I would be getting
out of your chair if your dog is not around
in an active.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
City, bark, bark, freaking bark.

Speaker 4 (22:03):
I went out to look for her anyway, but confind
her by the way. This comes from as gay as
the day Monday on the r slash bru updates on
the saubbreddit, we rock with the gays identifying her for
forty eight hours and was crying for the stress. She's
been my dog for seven years and I know it
sounds odd to some, but she was my girl, my

(22:25):
best sie. I love the cramp out of her. I
would sob worrying she was injured or worse on the
side of the road.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
It's not good.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
I like that, boyfriend said. He tried to track the
micro trip, but for some reason it wouldn't work, and
release had a tagle on it with her location, but
boyfriend didn't put it on her because he, as he explained,
she's just gonna went outside. I have a new neighbor,
a female thirty something Josie, and turned out she had
my dog. She found her tag was wandering around her

(22:59):
yard three doors down for me and didn't know her
or me. At also took her to the local vet,
who recognized my girl and called me. So my little
crab was returned to me. I was overjoyed and was thinking.
Josie profusely explaining how worried I was, and my boyfriend
audibly sighed from behind me and said, think f that's over.

(23:22):
She ruined my birthday with that stunch. When Josie saw him,
she looked confused but didn't say anything until we walked
her out. She told me, you may not believe me,
but he told me last night that you don't have pets.
I was confused by this and kind of didn't believe her,
but it nagged at me, so I checked our doorbell

(23:42):
cam footage and there it was clear as day. While
I was looking out for my dog, Josie is showing
him a photo and asking if he knew this dog
and He said no, that we don't have dogs, and
suggested calling animal control. I woke my boyfriend up as
he was sleep by this point on the couch and
questioned him about this, and he denied it, saying, Josie

(24:07):
is trying to stir up trouble. I have my dog,
so things go back to normal now. And he slipped
up in that he deserves a makeup day for his
ruined birthday. When I told him about the footage, I
could see him get really still, and then he admitted
to it. He said, my dog is old, she's eight,
so he was trying to spare me since she'd probably
die soon, and he wants us to think about the future,

(24:30):
not the past. My dog is indictive of my past.
I told him. He has made zero sense to me.
He saw me, He saw me dang near fall apart,
worried about my dog, and now I can't so much
as trust he didn't have anything more to do with
her disappearing.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Oh he's like thirty five, right, yeah, thirty third partners
around the same age. Probably, Hey, you're gonna die soon,
so we might as well just put you out of
your misery.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
I think he's thirty eight. Oh, yeah, he's thirty five,
he's forty. All right, let's put you out of your
misery because you're the same aid a dog. Let's put
you out of your misery right now.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Let's do it.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Let's put a chip in you and forget to put
your collar on and get you lost and put you
out of your misery.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
He lost it at that, saying he just knew I
would find a way to blame him for this, and shouted,
you love that bee more than you love me. I
told him that he's the bee and a coward for
lying and not being honest about clearly not liking my
dog for the past year. Love it, absolutely, love it,
and what I'm seeing here for the past year. Yes,

(25:27):
she's had the dog for eight and she's been with
Mike for a year.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
You ain't got that ten year, bro, dude.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
We already know.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
We already know what's gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
We already know, man. Then I asked him to leave.
He stared at me, like, you're really going to kick
me out over a dog. I said, absolutely, yes, freaky
out to the streets, to the freaking streets, and he
cussed me out and went to his place. I haven't
read the text he's been sending me, but it's been
a lot of them. He's been gone for seven hours

(25:56):
and I have twenty seven text notifications from him. Talk
to my brother Blair, who called me to tell me
that I hurt Mike for caring more about an animal
than him and not being able to just shut the
f up, be an adult and celebrate my birthday. Okay, Blair,
whose side are you on? Whoever gets the news first
is gonna believe it first.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
The narrative has been painted.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
Yep, the narrative has been painted. I am confused because
we've been together a bit over a year and I
spoiled the cramp out of him. We met because of
my dog.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Just throw this guy in a sewer, just freaking youth
and eize him and throw him in a sewer, give
him to the gators.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
And he seemed to really adore her.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
This entire time. Psychopath.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
My brother, though, doesn't like me these days, so I
can't really tell if he's right and I'm the a
hole or he and Mike are just and a holes.
So am I the a hole? Got some relevant comments here?
Hope you're not the a hole?

Speaker 2 (26:50):
No, come on, dude, this guy.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
I hate him, snake snake dog.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
The fact that it's almost more sinister that he like
pretended to like the dogs so much and like manipulated
op into believe that he.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Was like, oh, he loves the dog. He loves the
dog so much.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
I bet you they met at like a dog park,
and he literally hates dogs. He read at some article
and was like, how do me girls go to dog parks?
Elevant of garments? Montreal cowboy X not the a hole.
I'm not even a dog person. But he knew you
were upset and on heartbroken, and he decided for you
that it was better for him. That's just a whole behavior.

(27:25):
She's oddly Merry says, I'm a little confused. You said
he liked her, And what do you mean when you
say he was good to you before? Is this a
sudden change? Sorry, it was just that he was sweet,
really sweet. And then when we met, he first went
to her and pat her and complimented her how cute
she was and how well trained. His brother is a vet,

(27:48):
and he said he loves dogs. He used to run
me baths, hype me up, come to events for me,
and now he is like this, so something's happened.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
And he said his brother was a vet.

Speaker 4 (27:59):
Yeah, dude, who knows that that's real or not? All
because he's a psychopath.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Dude, he'll say and do anything to make himself seen like,
oh my gosh, it's like the greatest guy ever.

Speaker 4 (28:08):
And then but we have an update, ladies and gentlemen,
here we freaking still alive.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
That's a problem for me. That's a big problem for me.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
That's over there.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
I don't like it. He's like, mess with the dogs, dude,
I'll mess with the dogs. I blessed with my dog.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
Two days later after my post, my boyfriend showed up
at my door the next day with flowers and dog trees.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah you can eat them. Enjoy sam a dog food.
By the way.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
I didn't let him in, but talk through my screen door.
He said he had time to think and was ashamed
of his behavior and very sorry. He explained that he
had abandonment issues and got scared when a friend put
the idea in his head that I love my dog
more than him. The friend turns out to be my
brother Blair.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
What is up with his terrible brother?

Speaker 4 (28:51):
I told him I wasn't ready to deal with him yet.
And he asked why not, and I explained, from my perspective,
everything sort of like my post, and then added that
he shows up without letting me know he was coming,
and he didn't even let me speak. It just launched
into this grand apology there. When I said I don't
trust him right now, he started crying, and I mean

(29:14):
ugly hysterical kind. He said, the stem from his mother
leaving the family. Why are we getting this kind of
Laura right now? He said, it stemmed from his mother
leaving the family. From what I know of the story,
she walked out on him, and it's family when he's.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Just thirteen, that's awesome.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
And that I am his person and he loves me
and just lost his mind a little. It's one mistake. One,
I'm sorry, he kept saying it over and over, and
maybe I'm a broken person, but I don't feel anything.
In the moment. I watched him crying and saying sorry
and basically groveling, and I just wasn't having any of it.
I said, we need to talk, but I wasn't ready

(29:51):
to have that talk at the moment and needed space.
He begged me to let him in and only left
when some neighbors come by to ask a favorite was okay,
and he just snapped and told them to f off
and left red flag. Not sure what I'm even doing
anymore or what I will do with him or my brother.
For now, I'm just sitting at a local restaurant patio

(30:14):
with my doggo sipping Margarita's and trying not to cry
with you TF brother. Of the comments, she Chaotic Good
sixty five ninety nine says, So, I'm going to be
a little mean and harsh here, and I apologize in
events for that, but I saw your first post before
this update. Just ain't crap right now. Not sure what

(30:35):
I'm even doing anymore or what I will do with
him or my brother. What you do with him? You
leave him? This man lies to you about your neighbor
for that much. How sure are you that he doesn't
harm your dog? He seems unstable and has resentment about her. Clearly, Yeah,
how can you have resentment towards a dog?

Speaker 1 (30:55):
I feel like this is emblematic of a serious mental issue.

Speaker 4 (30:59):
Oh yeah, this man is manipulating you. If he has trauma,
he can get therapy, But that doesn't excuse trying to
get rid of your beloved pet and make the day
about his stupid ged birthday. He doesn't treat you with
respect and thanks, flowers will fix it, if not guilting
you by his sob story of his mom leaving you.

(31:20):
All right, that part, God, I am so made for
you and your dog right now, I can barely stand it.
And please, for the love of all things holy, do
not give her those treats. Oh oh, I didn't even
think about that.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
I didn't think at all. I would not great comment
that question comment.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
I would not trust that he didn't put something harmful
in them to further enduringjer your girl. This guy sounds
crazy enough to do it. They probably smell like chocolate
two or grapes. So here's where I will be harsher
baby girl, woman up and dump his bye.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
I like that. I like that.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
I have a sweet partner that I adore. But if
he did this, I would kick him several curbs and
I would put him on blast about it. So everyone
we know is aware that he is an animal abuser
who gaslights and disrespects women.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Facts that part.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
It is so insane to let an innocent animal get.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Lost to pass away.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Oh yeah, no one in their right mind would ever intentionally,
and it's intentional because he lost a dog and then
they called him like we found him.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
He's like, we don't have a dog. Yep, it is
clear he didn't want the dogs. Ever seen that thing
in my laugh That is insane. Dude, God Lee, you
got problems, buddy.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
Op. Sorry, this was a little upsetting. Honestly, not as
harsh as I expected.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
Lol.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
If this is your harsh, I think you're likely a
sweet person at all. I wanted to address at least
some of your comment but full disclosures. Some really bother
me and I can't quite take that on yet. But
I'm starting to agree with the folks in the comments
that my boyfriend is actually my ex. So here goes nothing,
maximum effort. So she's coming to the realization it's time.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
It's time, it's time.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
Dump em, redditor. God only knows what would have happened
if your vet didn't recognize your dog to steer Josie
back to talk to you again, or if you were
not home and you're hopefully soon to be X told
her again that you don't have animals. She's responding to that.
I think a lot about this. Josie is a kind human,
and I don't know that she's a lifelong dog lover
and adopter. She just lost both of her labradors very suddenly.

(33:40):
And my booger also loves her a lot and gets
all excited every time she walks by my house, which
turns out is a locked as she walks to clear
her head when her job gets too stressful. In my mind,
I have rolled every scenario of where my dog was
and what happened to her the whole time I couldn't
find her. My brain even went into dark directions and

(34:02):
I was a wreck, and my boyfriend was just so
dismissive of my concerns. Yup didn't even try to console her.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Yup doesn't care what the hell doesn't care. He just
likes manipulating and playing with their emotions and getting.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
Ready of to your dog, getting rid of your dog
on his birthday, getting rid of your dog on his birthday.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
If I was able to spend my birthday with Chip
and Ava, I would be so thrilled, so thrilled, I
don't even understand how happy I would be.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
I would literally be like, what more do I need?

Speaker 4 (34:29):
It doesn't make any sense, because even if you wanted
to get rid of the dog, your partner's dog. You
want to do it on your birthday because you want
your birthday to be good like. And she's gonna be
up obviously upset that the dog's gone.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
But he's that like evil and manipulative that he's like,
this is my birthday present to myself. Yeah, that's how
evil he is. That's why I say, dump him in
a sewer where alligators are.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
There, we go crocodiles. Crocodiles are worse than alligators.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
Crocodiles.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Bro give me, give me whatever dinosaur will rip him
to shreds, and let me throw him in that and
watch and watch with his mom, who abandon him like
he deserved.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
It's awesome evil.

Speaker 4 (35:04):
I mean, she could have been run over by a car,
could have eaten something that could have made her horribly sick, anything.
Playing it back now, remembering all he said and did
during this time, I just don't like this guy, and
I have a hard time ever trusting him again. I'm
getting to the revengeful part of my brain and can't
even start. Tequila is a heck of a thing, and

(35:26):
I think it's contributing to me wanting to do things
I would never dream to most of the time, do it?

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Do it?

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Listen to the takeila, eave him like his mother, drink
him like his mother.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, ya ya.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
I sat there with my baby, my sweet girl, who
looks at me with such unfiltered love and devotion. I
can't even imagine trusting her with a man who cared
so little about her that he would toss her to
fate and for the police, for the love of God
of holy things, don't care for those streets. I tossed
them out like the dumpster out. I sadly had the

(36:04):
same concern I forgot to mention in my post. But
he tried to call my dog over and open the
door to give her the treats. So the box was
open when I opened the first door to speak to him.
I have no way of knowing for sure if he
wants to see her harm, So I don't know what's
in that box, so I tossed it. We have an
update three weeks later. How we feeling. Do we press charges?

(36:27):
We don't have anything to press charges on.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
I just want them to suffer as much as possible.

Speaker 4 (36:31):
You know, I saw something online where this woman was
going to the airport and ask her boyfriend verbally, can
you take care of my dogs while I'm gone so
I can go to the airport. Boyfriend didn't show up.
She suit went to civil court and suit him. She
had to like buy a new plane ticket, had to
like do something with their airbnb and suit and for
all that this.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Too, because like that's like negligence. Yeah, if you like
forgot or whatever. Yeah, this is like premeditated.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
It is prematative because one of the treats, two he
put her out in the streets, lied about it, and
three he didn't I think he didn't even put the
collar on it, and lied about the tracker even if
there was a tracker.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
Yeah, I'd be curious to at least research to see
if there.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Is something we could do.

Speaker 4 (37:10):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
I just gotta make him suffer, that's.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
The goal, we think.

Speaker 5 (37:13):
Ye, I think that reddit is gonna like spark up
my trust issues again. Oh no, you know, because what
like the fact that he was just like such a
good person.

Speaker 4 (37:23):
How long were they together?

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Do we know?

Speaker 4 (37:25):
Just a year? A year? Okay, well we've only been
together for like eight months. We're not at that point.

Speaker 5 (37:29):
We still got a crazy but I mean, yeah, Okay,
I guess it'd be worse if they were together for longer,
but like still, it's like she thought it was such
a good person and then all of a sudden, he's
doing this crazy stuff. That would be really interesting to
see if like you could press chargers or something.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Like that, Piggy Dissilayer says.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
In most US states, animal abuse is considered as a
crime and is treated as a felmy or misdemeanor.

Speaker 4 (37:52):
But like, we don't have like strict evidence though I
don't see any.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Like is he answered the phone and said I don't
have a dog.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
We have the video, yeah, but a lawyer could spin
it and be like, well he doesn't have a dog.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
We've got witnesses. We maybe have it, probably don't. We
maybe have a tape recording of that call. But the
Josie that that can collaborate that story. I say we
go for it.

Speaker 4 (38:12):
Say we go for it.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
I say we go for it. Actually you should drop
it because you're skimm out of your life.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
Just give him out of your life in actuality.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
But I do want to see him sofer, but it's
not worth it. That's my real advice.

Speaker 4 (38:19):
Update, Hi, it's your messy friend with her super wiener eggs.
Not super wiener in the fun sense. Uh not in
the fun sense. I don't much want to get into that,
but it kind of needed to vent to someone and
some of you, most of you have been really helpful, insightful,
and so kind. Mike has been weaving the narrative that

(38:40):
I am mentally ill. Bro's so projecting right now. He
knows I suffer from depression and PTSD, and for whatever reason,
he's saying I am so I was a misdiagnosed schizophrenic.
He's just throwing that into her face. It was relentless,
and Blair and Dad have been backing him. Dude, whose sign.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Are you one? Fuck God? You're my own family, Jesus Christ.

Speaker 4 (39:06):
It got to the point that I had enough and
hired a lawyer. What did I say, dude, we probably
get some money. Did I say, how much money you
want out of this?

Speaker 2 (39:16):
Joe? Dude, I just want him to suffer. I don't
even want any money. I don't even care.

Speaker 4 (39:19):
So it was bankingcount.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
Oh, actually I would sue him for all of his money, okay,
and donate it to.

Speaker 4 (39:25):
Like yeah, if his brothers actually would donate it to
one of the charities he likes.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
That would be awesome see centsis.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
And wonder streaming order. My father is such a psycho.
Long story pennant Later, and Mike is back on my doorstep.
He's now demanding that Booger is his dog too, and
he has rights to her, and he is worried about
her safety with such a mentally unstable person. Me it
seems so, I said, Oh, oh, did I mention this

(39:53):
is all through the door cam that I now have
footage again of him being the unstable one and his
manipulative threat on top of me having actual footage of
him saying he doesn't have a pet would debunk him.
I guess. So this is phenomenal. I don't know all
of what happened because feed cut out, but it looks

(40:16):
like the man lost his effing mind and dismantled my
marine camera. You can definitely suit for that, at least
without my other cameras he did not know where then
installed showing him doing so good thing. I have a lawyer,
so she put up other cameras that got other wrangles
of it. Oo, dude, that would make a fire TikTok video.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
That's awesome. I love that you want.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
Some of your money back. Posted on TikTok.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Carried a part a multi part series.

Speaker 4 (40:43):
Do it get it ready with me so you can
pass ten thousand followers so you can start monetizing your
content and then post the video of it.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Do one of these, Yeah, Angie, do you know what
I'm talking about?

Speaker 3 (40:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Oh yeah, yeah, I watched.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
My girlfriend's TikTok Feither're all, hey, girlies, I got my
new nail. Can I'm putting like charge on my nails
that are hanging off of them?

Speaker 5 (41:02):
Like, yeah, I was thinking of ASMR just like SMR
storytime start whispering the story.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Oh that's what.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
No, No, no, they just like they just get things
and they're just like they just they click.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
Their nails on all that. Yeah, but like but like.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
They're like it's like unboxing and they're just like each
thing they open, they like thicklick and then they go.

Speaker 5 (41:22):
And yes, you had nails at some point, did you
have the feeling to click them on everything? Because I
sure did whenever I did my nails.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
You know, I hadn't seen enough of that content on
nmus feed yet at that point.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
You were doing a lot of this when you had
your nailse oh, I did a lot of this.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
I did a lot of this. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
miss my nails. All right.

Speaker 4 (41:40):
RelA comments, Ambassador MESSI please save the despairing comments for
the vulnerable dog you name booger. I mean no disrespect.
I expect you to continue to use yourself deprecating humor.
Good thing, I have a lawyer. That you say nothing
about the lawyer. Just that this is an asset tells
me that you are nowhere close to mentally on stable facts.

(42:01):
I assume you told your attorney precisely why he's an
ex fallless may sounds like things you were sounds like
things are still messy and stressful. But it's good that
you were taking steps to protect yourself with the lawyer
and additional cameras. Hang in there and keep us updated.
We got an update one point five weeks later. Let's

(42:23):
go see what we got just seven weeks after original post.
Oh my gosh, this is gonna be long, and I
am so fing livid. Oh has it been two weeks?
But this a single fing day after my last post,
I was packing up for an impromptu trip. Arara was
taking me on parlay to help me relax, and partly

(42:45):
to get me the heck out of that dang house
so my father, brother and X would not know where
I was. As such, I got Booker to the groomers.
We planned to be away a while and she was
due anyway. I thought I was being a responsible dog.
I am an idiot because I was so frazzled about
everything else. I completely forgot to tell them that Mike

(43:07):
is not permitted anymore to pick her up.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Oh no, no, no, that's very bad.

Speaker 4 (43:14):
That's very very So I got to run errands while
Booger got her spaw treatments. Don't you dare judge me.
She deserves a spa treatment every once in a while.
Being a couch potato is so stressful, grueling work, you know.
And when I return, I am told by the front
desk that your husband picked her up.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
What the heck? Oh my gosh, I'm seeing nose everywhere.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Yeah, this is bad, This is bad.

Speaker 4 (43:40):
This is badest dude, I'm stressing for you right now.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
Same, I swear to you.

Speaker 4 (43:45):
My voice simply stopped existing. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't speak.
I just crumbled to the ground and sobbed. He knew
the groomer, knew the staff. He would sometimes pick her
up for me when we were together, And I didn't
protect my baby by preempting this. How could I have
been so effing stupid? His life mission is getting rid

(44:09):
of her. It should have been one of the first
things I did. I removed him everywhere else. How did
he know that she was at the groomers. He's stalking her.
He's a psychopath.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
You're right, You're right.

Speaker 4 (44:19):
He's got a Blair on the case. He's got the
father on the case. He's on the case. He's got
three people on this.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Dude, you're right.

Speaker 4 (44:25):
Trying to get rid of this dog is.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
What a boogerdoo?

Speaker 3 (44:27):
What a booger?

Speaker 4 (44:28):
Do?

Speaker 1 (44:28):
Do you not saying she's just being a good girl,
good doggie?

Speaker 2 (44:32):
Give her pets, not death.

Speaker 4 (44:36):
Uh. The staff had come around the desk to help
me to a chair, and I just wailed. I think
I managed to say enough. The police were called and
I could barely speak to them. They asked if there
was someone I could call, any family. I cried even more.

Speaker 2 (44:50):
Definitely, don't call my dad and brother. He'll call them
because they ain't gonna elt I would call.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
Him in so they can be like prosecuted and integrogated,
be like, hey.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
Yeah, put him in a lineup, yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (45:00):
Maybe get Blair because Blair and Mike seem to be
friends and be like Ransom Blair like hey.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
Yeah, it's like I said, it, like a sting, like
a trap.

Speaker 4 (45:06):
Yep, yeah yeah yeah. I have no one anything. My
father and maybe brother would help Mike do this. I
managed to think and carl Aria and she was on
her way. But it was then I looked on my phone.
He had texted me the effort actually texted me starting
with hi baby, as of everything that happened in this

(45:26):
time was absolutely non existed. He said, not to worry.
He has booger as he picked her up for you,
and he is cooking us dinner at his and I
can pick her up after dinner. Then he ended it
with love you. It was so uneffing believable. I could
only just show the cops, Holy cow, he's gonna get

(45:48):
rid of you.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
And the dog.

Speaker 4 (45:50):
He's gonna try to get rid of both of you. No,
I have a horrible thought, and I can't.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
Say I think I know what your thought is.

Speaker 4 (45:57):
Thought, I don't know what the thought is?

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Share?

Speaker 4 (46:00):
What is he cooking for dinner?

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (46:03):
Yeah, oh no, I've been here since twelve today and
John and High we are the day doing.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
And a half hours deep.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
And here I thought I was like, oh, a dog story, finally.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
Finally something to give me reprieve.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
But no, no, but no, this sweet precious angel is
in danger again.

Speaker 4 (46:26):
No, it sounds like a horror story. I'm so scared
right now. Oh yeah, yes, true. Is this guy's crazy?
I knew the second His name is Mike. I'm sorry.
I have a bad relationships with a lot of Mike's.
I don't trust Mike's. Do you know a good mic
My brother in law names Mike, They're always Michael.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
I mean, I'm not a Jonathan and everyone assumes I'm Jonathan.
I'm just John.

Speaker 4 (46:47):
So I guess one of them asked you if they
could look through my chat history, and I said yes
and unlocked all the futures, and she did. I've forgotten
about all the abusive, manipulative, and awful things that more
on texted me. Because the cop just pulled a colleague
aside and showed him the screen a few times. I
saw him look back at me. A couple of times,
and he left the building. Then he returned and asked

(47:09):
me if I had called the police about Mike before.
I said yes. He went through all the times I
called and I confirmed and told him some of it verbally. Then,
so I guess she's talked to the police about this
before Maria arrived, and she gave her own rendition of
the situation and stuck it to them that we did
everything we were supposed to do by calling them about this,

(47:31):
and we were told they would not help. If Booger
is hurt, she will raise in a holy inferno over
their useless department. She started to take charge in the
absence of my ability to and ask what they plan
to do. They needed paperwork. Booger's papers are all in
my name and the groomer is attached to the vet
who provided the adoption and intake of paperwork of Booger,

(47:54):
which I proved I was hers and the sole legal
owner of her. Oh, I didn't know you had to
have papers.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
For I feel like I've heard that before. Yeah, you
have to like register them or something makes sense. What, Yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (48:05):
I just remember like getting some sort of thing in
the mail and it was like, you need to update
your registration on your dog, and I was like, but
I guess, guess what's the thing?

Speaker 4 (48:12):
The police went to his home to get Booger and
what I understand what to happen because I was not
there and was only told by the official story. Mike
let him in, showed the dinner he made. He seemed
confused and didn't understand why the police were involved. He
made it out that we had a bad spat but
were working it out. But I'm mentally unstable and heavily medicated,

(48:34):
and I told him of the groomer's appointment and asked
to pick up my dog. They were asked where Booger was,
and he said he didn't have her anymore, as my
family picked her up so that he and I could
have a private, intimate night together and make up and
work on our relationship. By the way, you could come
and be intimate with us every weekday at three pm PSD.

(48:55):
Just tap her profile. Hey, I didn't say that you
could be intimate with Key Ndakota and Sam every week day.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
Intimate with those guys.

Speaker 4 (49:03):
Dude, this just got worse for the player in the dad.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
We're almost at the end of the story. I'm freaking terrible.

Speaker 4 (49:10):
Because the boyfriend has measures of he wants to be like,
he wants op to be back, so he's not going
to harm the dog giving it.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
I don't know, dude, he's so crazy.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
I don't even know if we can trust that what
I'm clushing my cocoa and hiding.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
In my blanket like it's a horror movie.

Speaker 4 (49:25):
Dude, this is horrifying. It looks like we have like
a chunk. More we have an update. More here we go.
I was home waiting and I had to deal with
another cop coming by and asking me about my mental
health and if I'm in danger to myself or anyone,
because Mike said that he is concerned that I am
unpredictable and abusive. Once again, I showed him the text
and the footage of it being the polar opposite, and

(49:46):
once again I explained to all of what I was
showing him and more. I've already turned over to the police.
By now, I had reached my lawyer, who advised I
answer any and all questions pertaining to this specific situation
getting my dog back, and nothing more. So I shut
up and simply provided info necessary to this okay, they

(50:07):
found Booger at Bear's place, but now Blair had his
own story that I was mentally unstable and unable to
care for her, so I asked him to take Booger
to a shelter, as I didn't have the heart to
do it so myself. No, no, no, no, he could have
provided any proof. So they took Booger with them and
brought her home.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
Oh oh, We're safe.

Speaker 4 (50:35):
Was so freaking close, dude. We know he said he
was going to take her to a shelter.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
No, but at least even if that had happened. Oh,
he probably would have gotten to the shelter not too
too long after that, and it probably still would have
been okay.

Speaker 4 (50:49):
But still, dude, that was so freaking close. Oh yeah, no,
you can click it whenever. It's all good. It looks
like that's just Cassandra said, it's turning into okay, true
crime for real. Yeah, yeah, yeah, at least this isn't
a cursed episode. We can read these kinds of true crimes.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
Yeah, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (51:06):
Booger came home for me, immediately, straining against the leash
to get to me, and I cried on my front step,
apologizing to her as if she understood what had just happened. Oh,
she was happy and excited. I bet she loved being
in a cop cruiser.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
My heart.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
She was like, yes, I'm doggy, I'm dogging in big
car with Lady Spinny.

Speaker 4 (51:31):
Ah. She just was happy to be alive, per usual.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
She has literally no idea what she was like.

Speaker 4 (51:39):
When in reality she almost became a meal, almost got
put down with the shelter. But she's just happy to
be like, Oh, oh my god, to be a dog.
Policewoman who handed me her leash, gave us information on
wire to get the paperwork about today's event, and she
cannot offer me legal advice but to be sure to

(52:00):
lock everything up tonight and to call if anything happens.
I did take Booger to the bed, and the tests
that have come back show that she is perfectly fine.
I am now packed up the majority of my house
and what is not in storage has been moved to Arios.
I'm working on preparing to sell it. I can't even
imagine going back to that dang place. Mike left me

(52:21):
a voice small laminating that I sicked the police on
him and all he ever tried to do was love
me how Patiy has been with my mental illness and
my obsession with my mutt. But he is now seeing
that my father was right. I don't deserve him. I
will never find anyone like him who will love me
because I don't deserve love. And when I realize what

(52:44):
I've lost all due to myself sinsored attitude, I better
hope he hasn't moved on. But he's there if I
ever decide to grow up and be a real woman
and try to fix this with him. But he's not
going to wait around forever.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
I'm not gonna wait forever to throw you in a
river of piranhas, So just.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
Get ready for that. He's coming fast, dude.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
Listen, I'm not waiting very long, like maybe zero point
one milliseconds. That's how long I waiting, boom, just to
see the look of pure tear in your eyes. That's
the only amount of time I'm waiting personally.

Speaker 4 (53:17):
Dude, I hope your mom comes back into your life
and pushes you into a tub of piranhas.

Speaker 1 (53:22):
That would be so awesome. That would just against my
heart with so much joy.

Speaker 5 (53:29):
Oh my god, If you ever wonder what these guys
do offstream, it's this.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
It's a whole lot of this awesome.

Speaker 4 (53:35):
You love this.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (53:36):
An emergency protective order was pushed through thanks to my
lawyer for Mike and Blair. Blair was stupid enough to
blow up my phone after the police took Booger to
brak me. I don't know what he said. I just
forward everything to my lawyer, but either apparently was enough.
My father lost it, I'm told, but I wouldn't know.
He doesn't know where I am and has no way

(53:58):
to reach to reach out to me. Mike is trying
to una reverse my domestic abuse complaints and say I'm
the one abusing him and that he and that's why
he fled to his place. He maintains that I asked
him to take Booger, and Blair is backing him. My
lawyer says not to worry because no one is taking
the claim seriously since we have so much overwhelming documentation

(54:22):
of both of them harassing me.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
Perfect record document. Oh man, gotta have that.

Speaker 4 (54:27):
I have been at our arias and we are taking
the trip tomorrow. Booger is a road dog and loves
car ride, so I know she will be very excited
the city we are going to is incredibly dog friendly,
so she will be with us every step of the way.
I'm not letting her out of my side. Aria helped
me go through every bit of info and make sure

(54:50):
Mike is removed off everything now w all Booger's appointments
and all my medical medical paperwork, all packages signed offs,
you name it, all male and packages are being re
routed to Arias and Mike doesn't know where that is.
She has another home she rents out as an airbnb,

(55:10):
so once the current tenants are out, she's setting me
up to stay there until I find a new job
out of town somewhere and move.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
W freaking friend, ari are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (55:19):
Angel dude, successful and amazing, just has a spare house
that it is so awesome.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
That's crazy.

Speaker 4 (55:25):
I would an Airbnb now so I can set my
friends up in weird places. That would be so awesome.
And I refuse to tell anyone where it is. It's
like my secret layer. I love that I won't tell anyone,
or if I do, it's like very out.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
Of the way.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
The airbnb is run by Wileye Rilson. Suspicious, suspicious. No,
I think she knows I'm stressed and the only cure
is cuddles. She's not entirely wrong. My mind is racing
what would have happened if I didn't already have a
lawyer pushing the return of my dog along, or if
Aria who was speaking up for me when I was useless,

(55:58):
effing blop on the floor, crying and accomplishing absolutely nothing. Dude,
your support team is amazing.

Speaker 4 (56:05):
I feel like a failure because it was a time
for me to get things done and all I did
was cry like a child. Don't put that on yourself.
Booger deserves better than me to stop with self deprecating humor.

Speaker 1 (56:16):
You are literally such a sweet, loving dog, mama, and
I'm so glad that you have Burger no Booker as you.

Speaker 4 (56:22):
What if we had decided in those hours just to
get rid of her or do worse to her? What
was his whole plan? And why the f would Blair
help him? I know he hates me, but JC, I
know for now, if I am no contact with all
three of those beasts, and by the time my protective

(56:43):
order is up for review next month, new job or no,
I will have yanked every route I have placed down
here and we'll get the f out of here we
have some relevant comments, but one relevant comment, Perky Cherry,
you were not the a hole. Your ex actions were
manipulative and abusive. You did the right thing to protect
yourself and the dog.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
And there it is.

Speaker 4 (57:02):
Ladies and gentlemen, this just shows you that real friends
like whenever you have like solid people in your life,
you know you got real ones. Keep the real ones close.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
She was sad when the cops were like, oh, do
you have like a family member we can call?

Speaker 2 (57:15):
She did? She did? She did?

Speaker 4 (57:17):
She did?

Speaker 2 (57:17):
She just you know, I got that.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
It made her more upset, which is understandable because like,
oh yeah, my dad and brother literally ate it and
ebedded in the kidnapping of my dog.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
Wow, but we made it.

Speaker 4 (57:27):
We made it.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
Everywhere, we made it. And you know, at least Booker
ended up back safe. Yeah, and that's that.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
Hey, it's John you og host here.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
We're gonna get back to the stories. But he's a
quick three minute break of ads from our sponsors.

Speaker 3 (57:40):
My cousin caught his bride cheating at their wedding reception.
Just gonna wait, could you This is something that happened
around twenty sixteen. I was sixteen and didn't know about
all of this stuff until much later, and I feel
like people need to hear it.

Speaker 4 (57:54):
Well.

Speaker 3 (57:54):
Thank you for che Please tell us I grew up
with a huge family on my mom's side and they're
all Kathleen and Christians, which isn't an issue except a
majority of some of the ones states away are very
much the stereotype of Catholics and Christians of hating the
LGBTQ and for some reason having a weird concept of
cousins getting it on. That is a story for another

(58:16):
time though. By the way, this comes from user fear
Factory seven on the r slash ok Storytimes subreddit. The
one who was getting married was one of my cousins
twenty nine male at the time, who I honestly didn't
know much of before this since me and him were
very different growing up, and his girlfriend of three years
twenty seven female at the time, who I only knew
her first name and that was up that traveled to

(58:38):
my state for their wedding since where I live is
known for its nice weather, even though I personally dislike it,
being a very pale person, and it was held at
a venue near a beach hotel that had these floor
fire pits by the pool. I, much like a lot
of the women in my family, was helping out as
much as I could with the bride. I went to
the parking lot by myself in the heat to get

(59:00):
the flowers after she left them there. My mom fixed
the veil since it had a minor stitch, and my
aunt was being that sweet pep talker you need in
this stressful but memorable day. Well, the wedding starts and
we watch it happen. It was nice, but the vows
were awkward, as the groom was pretty much spilling his
guts out, while the bride was pretty simple and almost generic,

(59:22):
not at all original. My sister and I chilled by
the place to eat while we wait for the reception
to start. This is when the maid of honor stumbled in.
I noticed she was sickly, pale and swaying and was
about to fall into the little man made lake that
was made for aesthetic decor. So me and my sister,
who was eight at the time, helped her out. Maid
of honor just flopped herself down stomach on the pavement

(59:45):
right by us. Now I knew I couldn't let my
sister wander around for an adult, and I can't just
leave her alone while I go look, and I didn't
have a phone at this time, so we just kind
of stuck standing slash sitting beside her, while the poor
fourteen year old waiter, who you can tell was I'm
not ready for this level of responsibility, was giving us
water and a rejected fries basket from a table, to

(01:00:06):
which the Maid of Honor ate without moving. Thankfully, my
dad and uncle came by to get us, saw the
scene and helped the Maid of Honor up, and we
all went to the reception for like two hours before
my mom took us home, which I was happy about
since I was all out of energy and I was
getting sick and tired of the strong smells and bright lights. Well,

(01:00:26):
as it turned out, the bride made the Maid of
honor and her other bridesmaids drink right after the wedding
part to make it more fun, and the Maid of
Honor was trying to find the bathroom when I helped
her not fall in the water. Apparently her body did
a thing in which she pulled a muscle in her back,
which left her a brief moment of paralysis. Adding to
that another thing that makes the human body.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Scary.

Speaker 3 (01:00:48):
Yeah, that's scary. Low key temporary paralysis. No one knows,
No one expects temporary paralysis to strike. All of that
was what I was informed about a year later. But
from what I learned earlier this week, things were a
lot more crazy than I imagined. Let me start simple. Okay,
First of all, the bride. Apparently to others, the bride

(01:01:10):
was off throughout the entire week before the wedding happened.
She was excited for all the planning of the wedding
and reception, but was not so keen on planning the
after of the whole wedding. The groom noticed the stressed
and constantly tried reassuring her about any fears that she has,
even saying that they don't have to get married if
she feels like they're moving too fast.

Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
Yeah, so she was okay with that, but afterwards she's like,
I just want to go home.

Speaker 3 (01:01:34):
It was like she loved the you know, the fanfare
going around the wedding planning, but once the reality of
marriage started to hit her, I think she was starting
to get freaked out. I see. Yeah, she brushed him
off and the wedding went on well, according to my mom.
She sent me to get the flowers, even though one
of her bridesmaids offered to get it instead, and overheard
her say some weird stuff regarding my figure being like

(01:01:56):
a cigarette, skinny short, and she must be nice, nice
to taste, but full of toxins. She heard her say
this when she came back with the veil, and she
wasn't aware it was about me until before we left. Anyway,
never heard or met her before then. Was always nice
to her, and also I was sixteen. Why she apparently
didn't like me was beyond anyone. My mom thinks she

(01:02:18):
was just jealous since I got along with one of
my cousins who was visiting for the wedding, But why
would she be jealous over that? I personally think she
was just memmm. But that's what people do when they're
like you, they're mean to you. While the reception was starting,
the bride snuck off to smoke, leaving the groom to
help with the last minute touches of the party. About

(01:02:40):
twenty minutes go by and she hasn't come back in
groom got curious and left to check on her.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:02:45):
I assumed when I heard this she was caught cheating,
which she was, but it was so much worse than
I imagined. Apparently to my uncle, who was there most
of the time, the groom went outside and caught the
bride make it out and grinding against not just a
guy but his twenty one year old brother. Oh my gosh,
that's her cousin.

Speaker 4 (01:03:05):
I was not expecting that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:06):
Do you not kiss your cousin on the mouth?

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
That hard?

Speaker 3 (01:03:10):
Come on, man, we're grind on them. Yeah, I'm like,
don come on. I don't know when this was happening,
but apparently they had a friends with benefits relationship since
the groom and bride were dating. Yeah, the bride and
groom were dating for three years. This was happening since
he was eighteen. This was obviously very upsetting, but I

(01:03:31):
guess the groom forgave her because the reception started without
any other issues. Bro, what do you mean did the
groom even know? I feel like if the groom knows,
the wedding is off, immediately.

Speaker 4 (01:03:40):
Probably like, oh, that's Sarah.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
He's like, he says, she's maganatt with who oh my
Megan at with your cousin? She that my you, me
and my brother? She no, no, I think on a
real level, if I find out my my wife is
making out with my wedd life my brother on our
wedding day, I think the wedding's getting called off.

Speaker 4 (01:04:00):
Yeah, and someone's gonna get something to the face.

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
Yeah, my brother is gonna get my fist in his
mouth and the fire. All right, there's a fire. There's
a fire involved here. Well, that was the brother's fault.
This is where some parts of the story were blank,
since no one else was in the room when it happened,
and he refuses to speak about it to this day.
But from what we can all agree happened is brother

(01:04:23):
of the groom and bride were caught and she left
him alone to go to the reception. He wandered to
the hotel's outdoor lounge area, where those four fire pits
were at and smoked as the reception started. Now, I
know things are different there and here, but a lot
of places with this kind of fire pits have one rule,
no smoking when the gas is on. Well, you guessed it.

(01:04:44):
The pits were on since it was getting dark, and
the cigarette nearly blew up in his face. Luckily, he
somehow wasn't burnt badly or injured from that, but he
did drop the cigarette, which I imagine was a dang
ball of fire now into the fire pit, which triggered
one of the out door curtains to catch fire. Me
leaving two hours in was my parents being alerted by

(01:05:05):
staff about the fire. From what I know about the aftermath,
groom's brother paid for the damages to the hotel and
venue and severely apologized to the groom and groom and
bride divorced nice well, thank god, I mean, honestly, I
was hoping it would end in and please tell me
that they did not get married.

Speaker 4 (01:05:22):
And their and their marriage went up in flames.

Speaker 3 (01:05:25):
Went up in smokely, But you know what's never gonna
go up in smoke that y'all joining us When we
go live on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch every weekday
at three PMPST. All I gotta do is tap our
profile thoughts collected. Thank God that they are not getting married,
because your wife has been cheating on you with your

(01:05:46):
brother for for three years and she started doing it
when he was eighteen, which is gross. You gross. Thoughts
at the end of this are as follows one. Thank
God you did not marry that woman who was cheating
on you with your own brother too. You need to
fight your brother. You need to have a throwdown to
make try with your brother. Three op. I love that

(01:06:08):
Ope's perspective on this was just like, Yeah, I had
no idea what was happening until later and I was like, yeah, okay,
I need to tell this story because this is crazy.
It's like yeah, and then the brother ended up lighting
the hotel on fire.

Speaker 4 (01:06:20):
Yeah, what after making out with the bride to be
Thank you for telling this. We really appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
Thank god you immediately recognized, Oh the internet needs to
hear about this.

Speaker 4 (01:06:30):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (01:06:31):
Apparently the groom and the groom's brother weren't the only
guys in her life, so groom naturally divorced her, which
she didn't put much of a fuss on pause though,
what you are you implying that if it was just
his brother, he wouldn't have divorced her. There were other
guys in her life too, so groom naturally divorced her.
You would naturally divorce her no matter what when you

(01:06:52):
find out your brother's making out with her on your
wedding day.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
What that's a wild.

Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
Ass implication anyway. I honestly, I think that she wasn't
getting cold feet, but was just wanting to have a wedding,
but had no love for anyone but herself. Nowadays, I
hear the groom is remarried with a girl who's sweet
and they have two kids together. The groom's brother moved
overseas and stayed after marrying a girl he met there,
and no one knows what happened to the bride. She

(01:07:18):
just disappeared one day. No one knows where she went.
I still can't believe people hid this from me, but
I guess they knew. If I was aware there was
a fire, then I may accidentally make things worse since
I have anxiety and freeze in any scary incident. So
I don't blame them for hiding it. And that is
the end of that story.

Speaker 4 (01:07:34):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (01:07:35):
The fire really not even that important compared to the
groom's brother making out with the wife. But the fire
is just a nice little cherry on top. That is
the end of that story, which means it is the
end of this episode.
