Speaker 1 (00:00):
DNA test proves he's not the father. Now I'm taking
the inheritance. Wait down, who's trying to take this inheritance? Well, Sam,
this is I'm not your father week on. Okay, story time,
and we're gonna find out soon. But before that, we
have a quick two minute break from the sponsors that
keep the show alive. So this person writes, my father
in law is trying to steal the family fortune from
my son, even though it was promised to us. Now
(00:20):
I find out he's trying to give it to his
irresponsible son instead. But the craziest part, I have DNA
proof the brother in law isn't even the son.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
But for some backstory, at least we have got some
proof that we've got the truth.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
A strong starting strong, okay, But the backstory. When I
was pregnant, my husband's grandpa, Robert Senior, told me that
if I had a son and I named him after him,
Robert the fourth, then my son would inherit the family
fortune of several million dollars worth of real estate and investments. Dude,
(00:53):
that's awesome, Robert. That's all you have to do. You
get millions. Can you imagine I've named every kid rob
from like the on, Robert the fifth, Robert the sies, Like,
I'm getting seven Roberts. He's a roberta like Roberto. Like,
how many Robs can we think?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Robertina, Robertina, Robert, Robert all the numbers, Robert the fifth,
Robert the sixth, yea exactly, Robert. Run it up to
a billion, one million Roberts. Now, this is Robert Senior's
dying wish that his name lived on. I agreed to
it because I wanted to do what's best for my family.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
There's other Robs. His name will live on.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Actually, everyone in the story is named Robert, but luckily,
luckily it's not labeled that way. But they are all
named Robert. And when my son was born, that's what
I did. So my child, Robert the Fourth is now
five years old and nonverbal autistic.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
By the way, this comes from Loupa's Fight.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And if you want to submit your own stories, go
to the r slash Okay storytime Subreddy. Now, before he
passed away, my husband's grandpa told me his will said
that the property will be passed on to his son,
which is my husband's dad, and then to my husband
and his brother and finally to our son, who would
most likely pass it down one day. So basically it's
gonna get passed down to the sons. It'll just keep going, right. Well,
(02:15):
he passed away shortly after that and left everything to
his son with future intentions known and agreed upon. So
basically it was sent to uh this this other son
right who is now in charge of making sure that
a state then transfers to a Rob to to Opie
son to son. That's that's where everything is supposed to
(02:37):
that Rob. Everyone's a Rob. Every continuing through the Rob
will get it, so is it? Well yeah, but well
we'll see if it's Opie son. But right now the
Rob lineage like it's going as planned Rob lineage.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, we'll continue no matter what.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Basically everyone has like a slight variation on the name,
but it was like the the the pure intention is
like op He's child will receive this.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
So I had my kid and I thought that would
be the end of it until a week ago. You see,
my husband's dad had two sons. Was basically the father
in law had two sons. Right, my husband is the
oldest and my brother in law, Richard is the middle child. Dude,
get him out of here, right Richard on that rob money?
(03:23):
Uh uh Now, My husband is hard working, good with money,
and reliable.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
My brother in law, on the other hand, is not.
He can't hold a job.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
He's had multiple kids from different moms that he barely sees,
let alone takes care of. He's also been in and
out of rehab and jail, petty, theft, rug use, et cetera,
nothing to major over the last decade. He's been given
every opportunity to turn his life around.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
And refuses each time. Oh dude, I have a big
ICEE you big. You have a big ic. You have
a big IC. I see you.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I think this is I think the fortune's not going
to a rob. I feel like we're gonna have a
last minute switch up. Oh yeah, oh yeah. He's been given,
by the way, here's a list. He's been given cars,
He's been giving job opportunities, places to live that other
people who don't have wealthy parents to fall back on
would kill for. He never takes it seriously and always
takes it for granted. The only reason he is alive
(04:18):
right now is being constantly bailed out and enabled by
my mother in law. Bro wouldn't have even made it
without daddy's money.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I mean, sounds like he needs a little support.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, he needs maybe a little kicking the rump. Kicking
the rump get in shape. Well, most recently, we've given
him our house. We've given the bum brother in law,
our whole house over here. Oh my god, at my
mother in law suggestion, so we know where that's coming from.
So he could have a place to stay after he
got out of rehab, and to give him a safe
place for his kids to visit so he could try
(04:52):
to build.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
A relationship with them.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
My husband and I needed a bigger place for a
groom family anyways, so we agreed to it and bought
a second home and brother in law moved into it first.
He now pays the mortgage and whatever is needed to
maintain the property. It's been a few months and surprisingly
he's been making the payments on time despite not having
a job.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Hey, that's suspicious. I suspect, huh that mother in law
has been giving him the money for this, huh. But
not out of the inheritance, just given them money. It
seems it seems random money being given any fine, you know,
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Our house isn't getting fore clothes on yet now, so
that's good.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I thought everything was fine. You thought wrong, my friend.
You thought wrong.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Until last Saturday, when we got together for dinner, my
brother in law mentioned how he couldn't wait to move
into his new place. I asked what he was talking about,
and he said he was moving into husband's grandpa's house.
The same grandpa, the same grandpa who had betrothed his
fortune to Opie's son. And wouldn't the house be included
in that fortune and passed through the Rob lineage. It
(05:57):
was literally the whole package. The house was the whole
package bequeath to the Robs. So why is it going
to brother in law? I am suspicious, but maybe maybe
brother in law is just staying there, you know, caretaker. Yeah,
a caretaker until it passes to the next Rob. Right, Yeah,
it's it's all gonna be super perfectly innocent and reasonable.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Excuse me, I hope, he says.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I pulled my husband and my father in law into
the other room and asked what was going on. My
husband had no idea, but my father in law told
me he was changing the will to leave the property
and investments slash money my grandfather, the grandfather left behind
to our son, to the brother in law, to Richard,
to Richard, to Richard, and not to rob. That's correct.
(06:42):
I say, we cannot stand for this. We cannot stand.
We need to rob the rich, rob the rich, and
get it away from Richard.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Give it to a rob. Rob the rich. That's right.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Oh God, beat out the rich. Throwback. That's not the
only thing being thrown back. It's crazy, right, Come on.
So my husband's slash son would be getting my father
in law's property and a smaller portfolio. So they're getting something,
but they're not getting the big package, the big house,
everything they had dreamed and imagined for for their son's.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
That's like the kicker here.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
They're being robbed, being robbed, protect robbed.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Don't want to be robbed.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah, normally I wouldn't care, but this property was promised
to my son. My son is nonverbal autistic, which we
didn't know about when my husband's grandpa passed away. I'm
not sure if he'll ever be able to live on
his own or take care of himself after we've gone.
My husband and I always planned that if we if
that were the case, our son could move into the
property guesthouse, and we could rent out the main home,
(07:44):
which is currently being used as a family beach house
for weddings, events, reunions, et cetera. And he could survive
off of that money from the portfolio to pay for
a caretaker. So basically they can rent out the main house,
they can use the money from the investments, all of
that money can basically pay for everything their son needs.
Because he's non verbal autistic, he needs a caretaker to
(08:04):
help him like in his adult years now. This would
give him the chance to live independently. If it turned
out to not need any additional support in the future,
then it was to be his to pass.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
On to live in or whatever.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Before anyone asks, We did not forget about our other
two children. Our daughter will inherit the house that the
uncle currently lives in, and our second son will inherent
our current home.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, all the kids are homes. He would inherit. Damn
they are rolling in it.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
This is some serious like succession like monarchy, like queen
hierarchy stuff going ones. Okay, it was a lot dukes
and duchesses passing down houses over here.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Okay, except there's just Richard's and Robs. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I feel like I feel like the core tenants of
the succession plan were already well defined. It's like, name
your kid Rob, then you'll get all the spoils.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
That was it. I feel like it's being violated.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Right, it got totally violent. Yeah, that it was the
grandpa's wish. It's a notarized wish. Yes, yeah, you know.
I think there's some illegal action going on. I can't
imagine this would be legal.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I don't think this is legal. Yeah. I think we're
going to take him down happy's wishes. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, we got to take him down one way or
another over here, so their inheritance will be significantly less
than their other than their older brother. But it was
never our money to give away. Again, it was my
husband's grandpa who was the original owner of this property
and made it very clear that he was leaving it
for my oldest son and him alone, and we want
to stand by his wishes. Now, my mother in law
(09:34):
and brother in law both knew about this plan. They
told me they were supportive of my efforts to provide
for our son's future and that I was a good
mother for thinking so far ahead. I was deeply upset
by this news and asked why he's changing his mind
after he promised his father and to my husband that
he would pass it on to his grandson and great grandson.
So again, the father in law now is messing everything up.
(09:56):
He's the one that's like trying to withhold it all
and then send it to brother.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Again.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Brother in law is the one in and out of
jail and all the stuff. So God knows, why are
you really gonna trust him? That's what I'm it's it's
it's it's unimaginable because this is this is what to
do some conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Please.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
What I'm imagining is happening is this father law is like, well,
I don't want the estate passed down to the nonverbal
autistic kid because there's a potential that the family wealth.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Could be squandered, like something along the lines of that.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But if you give it to Druggy rich, right, like
man's gonna put it all on red, yes, and double
it and double it and double it like just like that,
or lose it all right. So it's like I I
feel like even if like I feel like you're not
accomplishing what you're trying to do by like not squandering
(10:51):
the familiar wealth by getting it to rich I feel
like he's lighting it on fire, like it seems like
that's his goal.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I but my theory is he just doesn't want it
passed down to their kid because the kid's autistic. That
could be a tragic, a tragic but good theory. Well,
we'll see, we shall see. Hey, it's Sam, your og host.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Here.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
We're gonna get back to the stories. But here's three
minutes of ads from our sponsors. So he said that
he has always intended to his respect his father's wishes,
but that our son didn't live up to the namesake
expectations that he's sure grandfather had for an air. Yep,
my son was not worthy because he was autistic.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Called it sadly.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Right, right, I called that God. So, since he knew
that my husband would honor his word and leave it
to our son, he thought that it would be best
if he cut my husband out all together and leave
it to his other son, Richard aka brother in law.
(11:56):
So I asked him why he would leave it to
someone as reckless as brother in law and his youngest
Rachel was much more financially responsible.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
That is a great point.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Again, if you're trying to preserve the familiar wealth, give
it to somebody can actually managed money. Well, oh, that's
just irresponsible. Brother in law, Sam, there's a there's a huge,
huge error with that. Okay, are you ready for it?
He said it was because only a son could be
an heir. You must possess a wiener to possess these
real estate properties. Oh god, all right, this guy, this
(12:26):
guy has has he's just he's just making no sense.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
This is this is just like old money, bigot bingo
over here, old like big go. God, that's like a
fun game. Oh, not one you want to play, ladies
and gentlemen.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Apparently, my mother in law has also been pressing for
months to give brother in law the home, and that
brother in law Richard told him that he deserved better
than our charity, that since we had two homes that
we saved and paid for on our own, that it
was only fair if we had if he was given
grandfather's property and his money.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
You haven't worked at all, he's you know what he's uh,
he has earned jail.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Hey, that that is a hard thing to do, you know,
he he made it through the clink.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
He made he made it. He made it through.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Hey, jail's hard, jails hard. They say prison is like
the Harvard of Jail. There, that's it, that's it. And
he graduated with lying colors, flying colors of God. Don't
drop nothing now. I immediately excuse myself, grabbed my kids,
(13:33):
and I left the house. My husband and I talked
him while he's upset about what happened. Legally, Grandpa left
the home to his dad, and he isn't obligated to
leave it in him in spite of his promise. So
basically the plan was to pass it down through all
of the rob the Robs and the dads lineage. The
issue is father in law because Grandpa had to pass
(13:54):
it to father in law and now father in law
is deciding to change the course. I guess it wasn't
like it wasn't clearly legally written in the well. It
was just love to have a will where it's like
you could only be a blood rob. You want this property, dude,
and you can't. You can't sell it like the property
stays within the blood rob lineage.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I wish Grandpapa did that, but I guess he didn't
have enough. Rob forethought, Yeah, he had enough thought to
say it and not enough to write it. Yes, apparently.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Also, come on, like, didn't anyone say anything? I don't know.
This seems like everyone kind of dropped the ball here.
Soo Rob though, what he's robbed? Rob the fourth is
the kid we're trying to get.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Rob the second, Yes, Rob the seconds fing up this
whole Rob Rob stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
He's messing it up, the Rob lineages. It's looking like
it's gonna end.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Looking with Rob two he did not getting very far, dude,
just the sequel.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Come on, dude, Grandpa's like we would have Robs as
far as the eye could see for generation, generations, a
thousand years of robs.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Even shrekd me to even Shrek made it to four. Well, dude,
like Shrek is coming out with five guys, Come on,
we can do better.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Come on, Rob.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
He says that he's sure we'd find another way to
provide for our son if he needs it.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Oh, I'm sure you figure it out.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Thank you for your confidence, but appreciate the nothing you
just gave us.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
That, however, isn't good enough for me as it should be.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
We busted our butts and sacrifice so that way we
can give all our children a home to live in someday.
Now we're being put in a position where we have
to choose which of our children to.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Get give a home.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I mean, I mean, like, I it sounds privileged, but like,
I mean, oh, I don't know how how are we
gonna split up the home?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yeah, I mean it's homostolen. It is homostone.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Sure, yeah, yeah, but definitely what he praised it like.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
It's like, it's like, damn if.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
This ain't a first world problem, Yeah, I know it is.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Comments. Let me know what you say.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I wish my parents had this problem, right, this is
a problem with my seventy homes? Why I give my children?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Oh I only get thirty two, but lost you I
got thirty three homes.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Dang it, Harry Potter quote. I missed that one, Harry
Potter one.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Now, not to mention, if our son does need additional
support and income, he's going to have to live with
us and off of our income, and we will not
have the chance to be independent. This is when I
thought about the dirty little secrets buried in the family
skeleton closet.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
We have, we have something up our.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Sleeve, right, I forgot about the DNA test at the beginning.
We forgot, but man, it's coming to hot Us. It's
coming to hot Test, coming and it's coming up. But
if you're new here, there's multiple parts here. Okay, this
is a juicy bomb that's going to be coming a
little later in the series. So if you bo if
(16:45):
you want to see this whole story, make sure to
follow us on the iHeartRadio app or Apple podcast.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
But let's get back into the story. Let's get excited.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Okay, I want to know what the what the DNA
test might might do.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Well.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Two years ago, my husband and his two siblings were
gifted one of those DNA tests for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Due what do we know.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I feel like whoever's gifting these DNA test is like yes, yeah, dude,
it's like I'm going to break up this family. That's
what I want for Christmas. If you ever need to
expose a toxic she couen in a family, just give
them a DNA test for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
That's all you need to do. It'll solve itself.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
It's like the more evil version of one of those
like glitter bomb packages.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
It's like you open it like glitter everywhere. It's like
this is like you open it up, it's like, oops,
my dad's.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Not my dad? Yep, say sawey.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
So they took the DNA test for Christmas and they
found out that brother in law was only their half brother.
So does that mean he can't inherit the rob lineage
because it's full blood not his son.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
We don't know for sure.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Oh not his son, not direct lineage, right, Jag, I
get wrecked rich.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I wanted to give it to my son. I don't
want to give it to my wife's son, namn. So
put put your ic us, flood your ice us in
the chant man. We're hitting the roller coaster where we're
about to knowse dive flings.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
And you don't see this ic You are blind. You
are a blind person. You need the see in the U.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
So they confronted mother in law, who admitted to having
an affair, but she didn't know for sure if brother
in law was in fact my husband's dads or her
lover's child.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
What do you mean the DNA test? Doesn't the DNA
test confirm.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
It it basically it says it's half but it's not
the paternity test.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
You know what I mean? Right, essentially essentially right.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
So when she got pregnant, she apparently ended the affair
for good and hasn't strayed since she begged your kids
not to tell my father in law because brother in
law Richard, he needed some support, which also clears up
the picture of why mother in law is always giving
him stuff. Yeah, like she's like, I'm the only one
that will fend for him because of the truth. And
also it's like, I mean, seems like it's a bad egg.
(19:11):
You know, rich it didn't inherit the good egg jeens. Yeah,
he didn't. He didn't get the right baby juice, sing
the baby juice somewhere else. I don't say this, but
some people say cheating is inherited.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
A dude, the genes of a cheater, and there.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Is something about there's I don't quote me on this,
quote him on this.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I believe there's a cheat.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
There's like there's something I saw on Instagram about no
science finds the cheating gene?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Can you just cheating? Let us know? Is there a
cheating Jean. So, but back to the story here.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
So mother in law said that father in law would
disown him and of or sir if he ever knew
the truth for the sake of keeping the peace, and
since this wasn't my side of the family drama again,
I hope he's married in I agree to never speak
about it again, but since we're breaking promises here, oh
and going behind each other's backs, I just might I
(20:18):
just might print out his half brother status and mail
that anonymously.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
To my father in law. Dastardly, I mean, wow.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I mean I feel like the card the card is forced.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Right, yeah, you real quick? Yes? Yes? Or no?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Like is it like you did you were expecting a
how like you you were did exactly cheat?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Cheated out of a house? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I don't know about the whole like rob lineage thing
and like only passing to a man and stuff like that.
That feels a little whack. I feel if I was
inheriting that house and that money, I would be like,
let me split it three ways with the siblings, which
we've seen in the past where they like when people
have good relationships with their siblings, they when they inherit
(21:12):
something like we've seen it with people who have like
a brother who is like gay or something and the granddad's.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Like, no gay cert of mine will inherit my money
and then like the.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Grandpa passes away, OPE gets the money and then splits
it with their with their their family member, regardless of
sexual orientation. So I guess, like, I don't know how
I feel about OPE, like holding all this wealth for themselves. Yeah,
there's something that feels wrong, a little wrong about it,
rather than like splitting it between the three siblings and
(21:45):
the other siblings I believe do get some something, but
they don't get as much. They don't get as much.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I don't think. Yeah, I think it should be split
three ways and then use that to figure out how
to care for the song. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, you could tell your other children, Hey, look, you
know this is the reality. You know, Robert the fourth
is nonverbally autistic. He'll need some care. So we're going
to be allocating the the our inheritance to you three
our children in a way that would care for that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
I like, I like that a little bit better to
something we can do.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I mean, man, if you want, if you're if you're
just optimizing forgetting the house, yes, it's efficient, it is, well,
I think, I mean, like, who is I guess, like,
is this guy more? Is he more sexist than he
is ablest you know, that's the question. That's the question
will it go to? Will it go to the woman
(22:36):
or your son? Because is expressed distaste for both groups.
It's the March madness bracket of bigotry going on, and
we're gonna see coin flip. So Opie says, this will
of course implode the family, while I happily watch from
the sidelines, as well as securing my husband's and my
son's place as the inheritor of the family fortune. After all,
(22:59):
only a son can be an heir and brother in
law is not his son, that is what he said.
Now again, if you're new here, this is just part
one of this story. But ladies and gentlemen, do we
have some juice left to squeeze? That is the understatement
of the century. So make sure you're following us on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your
(23:21):
podcast and click the story in the description or go
to the next part of the story.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
We'll see you in the next part.
DNA test proves he's not the father. Now I'm taking
the inheritance. Wait down, who's trying to take this inheritance? Well, Sam,
this is I'm not your father week on. Okay, story time,
and we're gonna find out soon. But before that, we
have a quick two minute break from the sponsors that
keep the show alive. So this person writes, my father
in law is trying to steal the family fortune from
my son, even though it was promised to us. Now
(00:20):
I find out he's trying to give it to his
irresponsible son instead. But the craziest part, I have DNA
proof the brother in law isn't even the son.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
But for some backstory, at least we have got some
proof that we've got the truth.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
A strong starting strong, okay, But the backstory. When I
was pregnant, my husband's grandpa, Robert Senior, told me that
if I had a son and I named him after him,
Robert the fourth, then my son would inherit the family
fortune of several million dollars worth of real estate and investments. Dude,
(00:53):
that's awesome, Robert. That's all you have to do. You
get millions. Can you imagine I've named every kid rob
from like the on, Robert the fifth, Robert the sies, Like,
I'm getting seven Roberts. He's a roberta like Roberto. Like,
how many Robs can we think?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Robertina, Robertina, Robert, Robert all the numbers, Robert the fifth,
Robert the sixth, yea exactly, Robert. Run it up to
a billion, one million Roberts. Now, this is Robert Senior's
dying wish that his name lived on. I agreed to
it because I wanted to do what's best for my family.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
There's other Robs. His name will live on.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Actually, everyone in the story is named Robert, but luckily,
luckily it's not labeled that way. But they are all
named Robert. And when my son was born, that's what
I did. So my child, Robert the Fourth is now
five years old and nonverbal autistic.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
By the way, this comes from Loupa's Fight.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And if you want to submit your own stories, go
to the r slash Okay storytime Subreddy. Now, before he
passed away, my husband's grandpa told me his will said
that the property will be passed on to his son,
which is my husband's dad, and then to my husband
and his brother and finally to our son, who would
most likely pass it down one day. So basically it's
gonna get passed down to the sons. It'll just keep going, right. Well,
(02:15):
he passed away shortly after that and left everything to
his son with future intentions known and agreed upon. So
basically it was sent to uh this this other son
right who is now in charge of making sure that
a state then transfers to a Rob to to Opie
son to son. That's that's where everything is supposed to
(02:37):
that Rob. Everyone's a Rob. Every continuing through the Rob
will get it, so is it? Well yeah, but well
we'll see if it's Opie son. But right now the
Rob lineage like it's going as planned Rob lineage.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, we'll continue no matter what.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Basically everyone has like a slight variation on the name,
but it was like the the the pure intention is
like op He's child will receive this.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
So I had my kid and I thought that would
be the end of it until a week ago. You see,
my husband's dad had two sons. Was basically the father
in law had two sons. Right, my husband is the
oldest and my brother in law, Richard is the middle child. Dude,
get him out of here, right Richard on that rob money?
(03:23):
Uh uh Now, My husband is hard working, good with money,
and reliable.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
My brother in law, on the other hand, is not.
He can't hold a job.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
He's had multiple kids from different moms that he barely sees,
let alone takes care of. He's also been in and
out of rehab and jail, petty, theft, rug use, et cetera,
nothing to major over the last decade. He's been given
every opportunity to turn his life around.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
And refuses each time. Oh dude, I have a big
ICEE you big. You have a big ic. You have
a big IC. I see you.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I think this is I think the fortune's not going
to a rob. I feel like we're gonna have a
last minute switch up. Oh yeah, oh yeah. He's been given,
by the way, here's a list. He's been given cars,
He's been giving job opportunities, places to live that other
people who don't have wealthy parents to fall back on
would kill for. He never takes it seriously and always
takes it for granted. The only reason he is alive
(04:18):
right now is being constantly bailed out and enabled by
my mother in law. Bro wouldn't have even made it
without daddy's money.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I mean, sounds like he needs a little support.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, he needs maybe a little kicking the rump. Kicking
the rump get in shape. Well, most recently, we've given
him our house. We've given the bum brother in law,
our whole house over here. Oh my god, at my
mother in law suggestion, so we know where that's coming from.
So he could have a place to stay after he
got out of rehab, and to give him a safe
place for his kids to visit so he could try
(04:52):
to build.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
A relationship with them.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
My husband and I needed a bigger place for a
groom family anyways, so we agreed to it and bought
a second home and brother in law moved into it first.
He now pays the mortgage and whatever is needed to
maintain the property. It's been a few months and surprisingly
he's been making the payments on time despite not having
a job.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Hey, that's suspicious. I suspect, huh that mother in law
has been giving him the money for this, huh. But
not out of the inheritance, just given them money. It
seems it seems random money being given any fine, you know,
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Our house isn't getting fore clothes on yet now, so
that's good.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I thought everything was fine. You thought wrong, my friend.
You thought wrong.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Until last Saturday, when we got together for dinner, my
brother in law mentioned how he couldn't wait to move
into his new place. I asked what he was talking about,
and he said he was moving into husband's grandpa's house.
The same grandpa, the same grandpa who had betrothed his
fortune to Opie's son. And wouldn't the house be included
in that fortune and passed through the Rob lineage. It
(05:57):
was literally the whole package. The house was the whole
package bequeath to the Robs. So why is it going
to brother in law? I am suspicious, but maybe maybe
brother in law is just staying there, you know, caretaker. Yeah,
a caretaker until it passes to the next Rob. Right, Yeah,
it's it's all gonna be super perfectly innocent and reasonable.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Excuse me, I hope, he says.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I pulled my husband and my father in law into
the other room and asked what was going on. My
husband had no idea, but my father in law told
me he was changing the will to leave the property
and investments slash money my grandfather, the grandfather left behind
to our son, to the brother in law, to Richard,
to Richard, to Richard, and not to rob. That's correct.
(06:42):
I say, we cannot stand for this. We cannot stand.
We need to rob the rich, rob the rich, and
get it away from Richard.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Give it to a rob. Rob the rich. That's right.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Oh God, beat out the rich. Throwback. That's not the
only thing being thrown back. It's crazy, right, Come on.
So my husband's slash son would be getting my father
in law's property and a smaller portfolio. So they're getting something,
but they're not getting the big package, the big house,
everything they had dreamed and imagined for for their son's.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
That's like the kicker here.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
They're being robbed, being robbed, protect robbed.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Don't want to be robbed.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah, normally I wouldn't care, but this property was promised
to my son. My son is nonverbal autistic, which we
didn't know about when my husband's grandpa passed away. I'm
not sure if he'll ever be able to live on
his own or take care of himself after we've gone.
My husband and I always planned that if we if
that were the case, our son could move into the
property guesthouse, and we could rent out the main home,
(07:44):
which is currently being used as a family beach house
for weddings, events, reunions, et cetera. And he could survive
off of that money from the portfolio to pay for
a caretaker. So basically they can rent out the main house,
they can use the money from the investments, all of
that money can basically pay for everything their son needs.
Because he's non verbal autistic, he needs a caretaker to
(08:04):
help him like in his adult years now. This would
give him the chance to live independently. If it turned
out to not need any additional support in the future,
then it was to be his to pass.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
On to live in or whatever.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Before anyone asks, We did not forget about our other
two children. Our daughter will inherit the house that the
uncle currently lives in, and our second son will inherent
our current home.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, all the kids are homes. He would inherit. Damn
they are rolling in it.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
This is some serious like succession like monarchy, like queen
hierarchy stuff going ones. Okay, it was a lot dukes
and duchesses passing down houses over here.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Okay, except there's just Richard's and Robs. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I feel like I feel like the core tenants of
the succession plan were already well defined. It's like, name
your kid Rob, then you'll get all the spoils.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
That was it. I feel like it's being violated.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Right, it got totally violent. Yeah, that it was the
grandpa's wish. It's a notarized wish. Yes, yeah, you know.
I think there's some illegal action going on. I can't
imagine this would be legal.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I don't think this is legal. Yeah. I think we're
going to take him down happy's wishes. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, we got to take him down one way or
another over here, so their inheritance will be significantly less
than their other than their older brother. But it was
never our money to give away. Again, it was my
husband's grandpa who was the original owner of this property
and made it very clear that he was leaving it
for my oldest son and him alone, and we want
to stand by his wishes. Now, my mother in law
(09:34):
and brother in law both knew about this plan. They
told me they were supportive of my efforts to provide
for our son's future and that I was a good
mother for thinking so far ahead. I was deeply upset
by this news and asked why he's changing his mind
after he promised his father and to my husband that
he would pass it on to his grandson and great grandson.
So again, the father in law now is messing everything up.
(09:56):
He's the one that's like trying to withhold it all
and then send it to brother.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Again.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Brother in law is the one in and out of
jail and all the stuff. So God knows, why are
you really gonna trust him? That's what I'm it's it's
it's it's unimaginable because this is this is what to
do some conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Please.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
What I'm imagining is happening is this father law is like, well,
I don't want the estate passed down to the nonverbal
autistic kid because there's a potential that the family wealth.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Could be squandered, like something along the lines of that.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But if you give it to Druggy rich, right, like
man's gonna put it all on red, yes, and double
it and double it and double it like just like that,
or lose it all right. So it's like I I
feel like even if like I feel like you're not
accomplishing what you're trying to do by like not squandering
(10:51):
the familiar wealth by getting it to rich I feel
like he's lighting it on fire, like it seems like
that's his goal.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I but my theory is he just doesn't want it
passed down to their kid because the kid's autistic. That
could be a tragic, a tragic but good theory. Well,
we'll see, we shall see. Hey, it's Sam, your og host.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Here.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
We're gonna get back to the stories. But here's three
minutes of ads from our sponsors. So he said that
he has always intended to his respect his father's wishes,
but that our son didn't live up to the namesake
expectations that he's sure grandfather had for an air. Yep,
my son was not worthy because he was autistic.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Called it sadly.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Right, right, I called that God. So, since he knew
that my husband would honor his word and leave it
to our son, he thought that it would be best
if he cut my husband out all together and leave
it to his other son, Richard aka brother in law.
(11:56):
So I asked him why he would leave it to
someone as reckless as brother in law and his youngest
Rachel was much more financially responsible.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
That is a great point.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Again, if you're trying to preserve the familiar wealth, give
it to somebody can actually managed money. Well, oh, that's
just irresponsible. Brother in law, Sam, there's a there's a huge,
huge error with that. Okay, are you ready for it?
He said it was because only a son could be
an heir. You must possess a wiener to possess these
real estate properties. Oh god, all right, this guy, this
(12:26):
guy has has he's just he's just making no sense.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
This is this is just like old money, bigot bingo
over here, old like big go. God, that's like a
fun game. Oh, not one you want to play, ladies
and gentlemen.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Apparently, my mother in law has also been pressing for
months to give brother in law the home, and that
brother in law Richard told him that he deserved better
than our charity, that since we had two homes that
we saved and paid for on our own, that it
was only fair if we had if he was given
grandfather's property and his money.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
You haven't worked at all, he's you know what he's uh,
he has earned jail.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Hey, that that is a hard thing to do, you know,
he he made it through the clink.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
He made he made it. He made it through.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Hey, jail's hard, jails hard. They say prison is like
the Harvard of Jail. There, that's it, that's it. And
he graduated with lying colors, flying colors of God. Don't
drop nothing now. I immediately excuse myself, grabbed my kids,
(13:33):
and I left the house. My husband and I talked
him while he's upset about what happened. Legally, Grandpa left
the home to his dad, and he isn't obligated to
leave it in him in spite of his promise. So
basically the plan was to pass it down through all
of the rob the Robs and the dads lineage. The
issue is father in law because Grandpa had to pass
(13:54):
it to father in law and now father in law
is deciding to change the course. I guess it wasn't
like it wasn't clearly legally written in the well. It
was just love to have a will where it's like
you could only be a blood rob. You want this property, dude,
and you can't. You can't sell it like the property
stays within the blood rob lineage.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I wish Grandpapa did that, but I guess he didn't
have enough. Rob forethought, Yeah, he had enough thought to
say it and not enough to write it. Yes, apparently.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Also, come on, like, didn't anyone say anything? I don't know.
This seems like everyone kind of dropped the ball here.
Soo Rob though, what he's robbed? Rob the fourth is
the kid we're trying to get.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Rob the second, Yes, Rob the seconds fing up this
whole Rob Rob stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
He's messing it up, the Rob lineages. It's looking like
it's gonna end.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Looking with Rob two he did not getting very far, dude,
just the sequel.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Come on, dude, Grandpa's like we would have Robs as
far as the eye could see for generation, generations, a
thousand years of robs.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Even shrekd me to even Shrek made it to four. Well, dude,
like Shrek is coming out with five guys, Come on,
we can do better.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Come on, Rob.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
He says that he's sure we'd find another way to
provide for our son if he needs it.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Oh, I'm sure you figure it out.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Thank you for your confidence, but appreciate the nothing you
just gave us.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
That, however, isn't good enough for me as it should be.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
We busted our butts and sacrifice so that way we
can give all our children a home to live in someday.
Now we're being put in a position where we have
to choose which of our children to.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Get give a home.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I mean, I mean, like, I it sounds privileged, but like,
I mean, oh, I don't know how how are we
gonna split up the home?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yeah, I mean it's homostolen. It is homostone.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Sure, yeah, yeah, but definitely what he praised it like.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
It's like, it's like, damn if.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
This ain't a first world problem, Yeah, I know it is.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Comments. Let me know what you say.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I wish my parents had this problem, right, this is
a problem with my seventy homes? Why I give my children?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Oh I only get thirty two, but lost you I
got thirty three homes.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Dang it, Harry Potter quote. I missed that one, Harry
Potter one.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Now, not to mention, if our son does need additional
support and income, he's going to have to live with
us and off of our income, and we will not
have the chance to be independent. This is when I
thought about the dirty little secrets buried in the family
skeleton closet.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
We have, we have something up our.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Sleeve, right, I forgot about the DNA test at the beginning.
We forgot, but man, it's coming to hot Us. It's
coming to hot Test, coming and it's coming up. But
if you're new here, there's multiple parts here. Okay, this
is a juicy bomb that's going to be coming a
little later in the series. So if you bo if
(16:45):
you want to see this whole story, make sure to
follow us on the iHeartRadio app or Apple podcast.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
But let's get back into the story. Let's get excited.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Okay, I want to know what the what the DNA
test might might do.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Well.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Two years ago, my husband and his two siblings were
gifted one of those DNA tests for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Due what do we know.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I feel like whoever's gifting these DNA test is like yes, yeah, dude,
it's like I'm going to break up this family. That's
what I want for Christmas. If you ever need to
expose a toxic she couen in a family, just give
them a DNA test for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
That's all you need to do. It'll solve itself.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
It's like the more evil version of one of those
like glitter bomb packages.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
It's like you open it like glitter everywhere. It's like
this is like you open it up, it's like, oops,
my dad's.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Not my dad? Yep, say sawey.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
So they took the DNA test for Christmas and they
found out that brother in law was only their half brother.
So does that mean he can't inherit the rob lineage
because it's full blood not his son.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
We don't know for sure.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Oh not his son, not direct lineage, right, Jag, I
get wrecked rich.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I wanted to give it to my son. I don't
want to give it to my wife's son, namn. So
put put your ic us, flood your ice us in
the chant man. We're hitting the roller coaster where we're
about to knowse dive flings.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
And you don't see this ic You are blind. You
are a blind person. You need the see in the U.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
So they confronted mother in law, who admitted to having
an affair, but she didn't know for sure if brother
in law was in fact my husband's dads or her
lover's child.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
What do you mean the DNA test? Doesn't the DNA
test confirm.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
It it basically it says it's half but it's not
the paternity test.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
You know what I mean? Right, essentially essentially right.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
So when she got pregnant, she apparently ended the affair
for good and hasn't strayed since she begged your kids
not to tell my father in law because brother in
law Richard, he needed some support, which also clears up
the picture of why mother in law is always giving
him stuff. Yeah, like she's like, I'm the only one
that will fend for him because of the truth. And
also it's like, I mean, seems like it's a bad egg.
(19:11):
You know, rich it didn't inherit the good egg jeens. Yeah,
he didn't. He didn't get the right baby juice, sing
the baby juice somewhere else. I don't say this, but
some people say cheating is inherited.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
A dude, the genes of a cheater, and there.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Is something about there's I don't quote me on this,
quote him on this.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I believe there's a cheat.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
There's like there's something I saw on Instagram about no
science finds the cheating gene?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Can you just cheating? Let us know? Is there a
cheating Jean. So, but back to the story here.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
So mother in law said that father in law would
disown him and of or sir if he ever knew
the truth for the sake of keeping the peace, and
since this wasn't my side of the family drama again,
I hope he's married in I agree to never speak
about it again, but since we're breaking promises here, oh
and going behind each other's backs, I just might I
(20:18):
just might print out his half brother status and mail
that anonymously.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
To my father in law. Dastardly, I mean, wow.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I mean I feel like the card the card is forced.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Right, yeah, you real quick? Yes? Yes? Or no?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Like is it like you did you were expecting a
how like you you were did exactly cheat?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Cheated out of a house? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I don't know about the whole like rob lineage thing
and like only passing to a man and stuff like that.
That feels a little whack. I feel if I was
inheriting that house and that money, I would be like,
let me split it three ways with the siblings, which
we've seen in the past where they like when people
have good relationships with their siblings, they when they inherit
(21:12):
something like we've seen it with people who have like
a brother who is like gay or something and the granddad's.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Like, no gay cert of mine will inherit my money
and then like the.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Grandpa passes away, OPE gets the money and then splits
it with their with their their family member, regardless of
sexual orientation. So I guess, like, I don't know how
I feel about OPE, like holding all this wealth for themselves. Yeah,
there's something that feels wrong, a little wrong about it,
rather than like splitting it between the three siblings and
(21:45):
the other siblings I believe do get some something, but
they don't get as much. They don't get as much.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I don't think. Yeah, I think it should be split
three ways and then use that to figure out how
to care for the song. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, you could tell your other children, Hey, look, you
know this is the reality. You know, Robert the fourth
is nonverbally autistic. He'll need some care. So we're going
to be allocating the the our inheritance to you three
our children in a way that would care for that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
I like, I like that a little bit better to
something we can do.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I mean, man, if you want, if you're if you're
just optimizing forgetting the house, yes, it's efficient, it is, well,
I think, I mean, like, who is I guess, like,
is this guy more? Is he more sexist than he
is ablest you know, that's the question. That's the question
will it go to? Will it go to the woman
(22:36):
or your son? Because is expressed distaste for both groups.
It's the March madness bracket of bigotry going on, and
we're gonna see coin flip. So Opie says, this will
of course implode the family, while I happily watch from
the sidelines, as well as securing my husband's and my
son's place as the inheritor of the family fortune. After all,
(22:59):
only a son can be an heir and brother in
law is not his son, that is what he said.
Now again, if you're new here, this is just part
one of this story. But ladies and gentlemen, do we
have some juice left to squeeze? That is the understatement
of the century. So make sure you're following us on
