Speaker 1 (00:43):
You know. I scour the internet.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I do.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
I don't get enough credit.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I don't think for the amount of time I spend
looking at ridiculous websites, and it's going through Reddit, all
the all the weirdness on Reddit and all the weirdness
all over the place. I don't get enough credit for it,
I don't think. But I stumbled upon a few things
that I don't even know. I don't even know what
which what I want to do. But some of these
are just I mean, it's just like like, for example,
(01:06):
this one was this an overreaction about me ordering DoorDash
while babysitting. So this is a I guess a girl
saying I ordered DoorDash while babysitting because I hadn't eaten
since lunch and was getting a headache, and they were
two hours late, the kids were asleep, the food was
left on the porch, and I stepped outside for ten
seconds to grab it. So this is what happened. There's
(01:26):
a text message between the mom and the babysitter. Great,
we're taking the ten thirty train. She'd be home by
eleven thirty. Sorry, I thought we'd be done by now,
no problem. And then here comes a text from the mom. Hey,
our ring camera showed someone at the door. Was something delivered?
And she says, yes, I hadn't eaten, so I ordered
door Dash And here's the response. Okay, we'll talk about
(01:49):
it when we get home, but I'm really concerned that
you would do that without asking first. I would never
be okay with a stranger coming to the door while
my kids are sleeping. I really wish that you would
asked me before doing that. Please check to make sure
that the storm door is locked and the chain is
locked as well, since you opened them both. I get
that you were hungry, but it's more about the fact
(02:10):
that someone was coming to the door without my knowledge
and that you left the kids in the house alone
while you grabbed it. If something had happened, it really
makes me nervous. You could have eaten from the cabinet.
This is my home and my kids, and I need
to be able to fully trust who's there. We'll talk later.
Double check the doors, girl, so you can't okay. I
(02:30):
don't know what this girl was supposed to This wasn't
even my choice for morality Monday, but I'm reading this
going what was this girl supposed to do? First of all,
you're two hours late. Second of all, you're saying, go
through the cabinet so I can go through your stuff
and just eat your food without it. I mean, I
guess I could have texted you and said, hey, yeah,
you cui. Suppose you could have been like, hey, I'm
going to order some food.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Is that open?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I mean no, I don't want to pop tart like
I want a meal.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And I don't understand this, like yes, okay.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
She could have asked, Mom, hey, are you fine if
I order food or whatever she could have.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I'm being honest. I babysit.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
I sometimes will do that, but now as being the
mom and the parent, like I order my babysitter. I
have a babysitter now, by the way, and I love
her so much I'm never losing her, and I order
her door dash.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
She came over.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Yesterday for three hours and guests who ordered McDonald's I
did for us.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
It wasn't as you should, thank you.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
It wasn't the best meal, but I was like, hey,
you know, let's let's all ell something. And I always
offer my sitters or whoever's there, I'm gonna order you food.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
What would you like?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yes, my sister does.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I'm aware. I love that.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
She'll text a babysitter ahead of time and say, hey,
we're ordering Chick fil A for the girls. Do you
want that? Or we're ordering yeah, this or that? What
would you like? You know, whatever, so that there's food there. Baby,
Oh my god, these babysitters and it's sunny. It's not
an easy job, you know, a one year old in it.
But I will say, my sister goes out at like
seven o'clock. The girls go to bed at like seven
(03:46):
seven thirty, and so like you know, they do bath,
they do dinner, the babysitter comes over. You know, made freaks.
The one year old freaks out when Amanda leaves. Pauline
thinks it's funny. And then she puts them to bed.
You know, that's five minutes of hysteria. Puts them to bed,
and then eats the Chick fil A and gets paid
twenty five dollars thirty dollars an hour, yes, to make
(04:09):
sure that they don't like chocolate anything, which again you're
providing a service. And she's responsible and she's reliable, and
I'm not saying that she doesn't deserve that, but it's
a good gig.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I don't want it. I don't want it gig.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Yeah, I mean I used to be a babysitter and
a nanny. In my day, we didn't have door dash shows.
Usually they got me a pizza and they always said
I could eat whatever. But in my experience, like obviously
the parent is correct in saying that she has boundaries
or whatever. I think the way she spoke to her
was very like shameful. She could have handled it differently.
I also think for the babysitter standpoint, girl, you're gonna
have more problems because I babyset for families that would
(04:42):
leave me like novels of like you can't do this.
We're watching you and it's like it's not a comfortable situation.
It's not worth the money.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
But it's not like she invited the stranger in for tea,
right or something.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I'm dramatic foot Yeah, the benefit of.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
The person left.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
She went to get the food, locked the door, like
anybody else would.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I mean, these people are watching your children, you should
treat them with kindness and respect.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
What if an Amazon delivery had shown up?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
You ordered that the mailman like a girl.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
If you mailman is.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Showing up at ten o'clock at night, this maleman work
at astronomer, like what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Like what what what are we doing?
Speaker 6 (05:19):
I'd ask you for permission to get door dashed, like girl,
knock it off these kids in his house?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Children?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, I don't I don't know what she was supposed.
I mean, I suppose she It's ridiculous. I guess she
could have texted the mom and been like, hey, you
know right, like right even as I say that right now,
I'm like, no, she handled the problem herself, and she
paid for it too, which I might even argue that,
(05:50):
you know, that might be again a courteous thing for
the for the mom to say, hey, I'm sorry we're late.
You know, have you eaten dinner? Like either have something
from the kitchen or or you know, can I order
you something or can I, you know, bring you minutes
an hour later. She's already two hours later, so that
seemed considerate to begin with.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Yes, itsually, and the mom could say, hey, listen, i'm
a little kooky. So my first kid, second kid, whatever,
I have, I have anxiety. Hey next time, could you
just let me know or I can order you something beforehand?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
She could say that in passing when she gets there.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I suppose she could have said that like, hey, I
was all surprised to see the ring camera go off
at ten o'clock at night, Like I wouldn't just ay,
no problem, no problem at all, and by way, I'll
pick you back. Yeah, but can you just let me
know when you're gonna do that, just because I don't
want to be surprised when someone's knocking on the door
at ten o'clock at night. I suppose you, I suppose.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
You were on time to come get your kids. There
would be no surprise. I don't want to be surprised
with two extra hours of work.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
That's true, true, Jerry, Jerry, don't worry.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Good morning, love me get to the show.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
By the way, thank you man, thanks for thanks for
being part of the show. So what what happened here? Like,
I mean, I don't know what this girl was supposed
to do?
Speaker 7 (06:58):
Yeah, I mean I totally agree. I mean I get
that stragger coming to the door. But you know, how
is that different? You know, before you know, Hubert DoorDash
whatever was around h you know, people you order pizza,
Chinese food, you know, to the door, and you know
they were still you know, straggers coming to the door.
I mean I guess that they should have you know,
maybe texted her. But you know she's hungry, you know, yeah,
at the different time.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
So I'm allowed to rummage through your home to find
smash you scrounged for food, right, Like I mean, but
I can't order door dash that drops at the door
and someone, Yeah, that's weird. Jerry, thank you, have a
good day. Man, thanks for listening.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Okay, you too, appreciate it. There's something the.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Kids he's able to never know either, is I remember
Friday nights, and this was usually when we had to
go to my our father's house. You know, every other
weekend the parents are divorced, and there wasn't a whole
lot of cooking going on, but Friday night, every other Friday,
five something, he'd come pick us up, and then by
five thirty I was on the phone with the Dominoes guy.
And this is when you'd call the actual store. Now
(07:57):
this was in the nineties, guys, this wasn't that long ago.
But you'd call that you'd look up the phone number
for the Domino's nearest you, and then you'd call the
domino store and that someone answered the phone, and you'd
order a pizza and give them your address, and then
thirty minutes later they would show up at your door
with the pizza. And it was usually the same kid
that answered the phone every Friday night. So I'd be like, oh, hey,
(08:17):
Don or whatever. The kid Don would be a weird
name for a kid in the nineties, but you know,
I'd be like, hey, Chad, you know or whatever, Oh, hey,
you know, order the pizza. And then the guy who
delivered the pizza was usually a guy that you knew
because I don't know. But the kids you TAKEE will
never understand that when you were on a first name
basis with it with the pizza delivery people, because now
you don't know who's going to show up at your house.
So I suppose there's that it is a little weird
(08:38):
when you think about him. I would do a lot
of DoorDash. Let's say I ordered a DoorDash five times
a week. That's five different people at my front door
in the course of a month. That's twenty randoms at
my door. Like one of them is an ex murderer
for sure, they just have chosen not to murder me yet.
I mean, think about that, but think about think about
like I get that, but but we also it's twenty
(09:01):
twenty five, Like this is what we're doing.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
We get in the cars with strangers right on trips.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
That's another thing.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
And the joke has been told a million times and
I didn't write it, but it's like all the things
that your parents told you not to do as a
kid is exactly what we're doing with Uber.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Oh yes, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
It's like, don't talk to strangers, don't get into stranger's car.
We do it and then we drive away with these people.
Hey McKenzie, Hello, come Rinde. Hi McKenzie.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So this one.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I didn't mean to really do this one, but morality
Monday and a Wednesday. This this girl shared on Reddit
a text conversation between she and the mom whose kids
she was babysitting. There were two hours late getting home.
She ordered door Dash and the mom's season on the
ring cam and freaks out, what do you We got
strangers coming to my house delivering food. It was like
it was irresponsibile. She did something wrong. What was she
(09:45):
supposed to do?
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Yeah, no, it's twenty twenty five.
Speaker 9 (09:50):
If you have now ordered door Dash before, then you're
kind of doing something wrong. The mom, the parents, there
were two hours late. They should have provide totude. If not,
I think the mom's a little bit over reacting. I
would have done the same exact thing in this girls situation.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, and I agree with Kaitlin. I would never babysit
for that woman again, even if she's probably never gonna
call me, she's probably gonna call me, not call me
again because I because she was the irresponsible one when
she wasn't. But I wouldn't want a babysit of this
person because it's like I did, Okay, so this is
what's next. Yeah, right, it's like I'm doing I'm doing
this for you, and I've done a good job. And
I showed up on time and I didn't and I
(10:32):
can see the text matters. There was no complaint about
her being two hours late or anything like that. So
I don't know. I probably wouldn't babysit for these people anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I won't.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I won't babysit for these people anymore. This was actually
a conversation between me and on Friday nights, I babysit
for some people. It's fine, it's you know, and I
don't have kids on my own, so I vicariously.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Through that hiring Cockenzie.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
You have a great day. Thank you for listening.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
You're true.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
You guys have a great one.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Shout out to uh Pittborough, North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I've been to pitt Borough this time of year especially, No,
like there's a heat dome, there's a heat.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Doone going on?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Well I did hear that on this show.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
The other thing is I don't. I mean, I'm assuming
she was at North Carolina. But then we also see
like whose phone it is? You know, like like we
don't see your name unless you give it to us.
We see your number where you're calling from, but you
know mine would say Scottsdale because I've had the same
number for thirty years. Show the family Plan. No, my
sister is I'm not. I pay my own bill. I
just haven't changed my number. Oh independent woman, Okay, yeah,
(11:33):
I'm gonna I am my sister who's thirty seven years old.
My parents still pay for Herselfhere.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
You're too loud.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
This was the other one though, that your mom still
pays for your cell phone.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
No, I pay for it, but I'm on the plan.
I'm not getting off.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, I'm on Saturday. That I get. I mean, I
don't pay it. I don't, absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I've never paid a cell phone bill in my life.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Say your parents put yourself one bill too?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, every day, Jason, I love you, but you don't
pay mortgage rent, phone.
Speaker 10 (12:06):
Loans, got the education on this level, I would be
if I didn't have to pay a mortgage, a car,
a phone.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Do you pay car insurance? Yes? They do, Okay, good
for you.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
There would be hundreds just falling out of my car
everywhere too.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
He yeah, look at he said, Yeah, I got that
my ability.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Only I need to honor and pay your student loans
because I want to see Jason.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Without student loans, it's not going to walk. You can't
tell me nothing. He's gonna be dripping around. He's getting
the smoke everything hr because.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
He puts the maximum mount his four oh one carry.
I'm trying. I think I part with him, so.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
My maximm won't be able to tell me anything when
they're paid off. You know, for the longest time, I
couldn't afford to contribute to my four one case. So
then when I when I finally could, I put the
max when I could period when I could. Oh no,
it's very excited. Compound interest is amazing. Let me tell
(13:13):
you my seventy five hundred bucks is going to double
it seven years, that's right, and when.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
It does, you won't know me.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
You tell me nothing.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Hey Nicole, good morning, Hey, Hey, good morning, he Nichols.
You have three kids, and you would never do what
this woman did.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
No.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
I mean typically I always have like a family member babysit,
So even if I was a little bit not as friendly,
I don't think they would care. But I would never
be angry about somebody door dashing food to my house
like here I said I would. I always make sure
it's like that. I provide food. Like whenever I make
the kids or order the kids, I always make sure
I have food for them as well.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got you have to either either
provides food or expect something like this to happen. Because
if I'm gonna be there for six seven hours or
ever long I was, you know, I don't know you
go out at six o'clock, it's it's eleven thirty at night,
I probably need to eat something.
Speaker 8 (14:11):
Well, exactly when I was, when I was more concerned
about this lady, I'm so obsessed with giving these doors
blocked together. There's people always outside of her house, cat
her kids, or probably.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Because she leaves her kids for two hours.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Well I know you're so concerned, but
two hours late, but you don't worry about what time
you get home.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Thank you, Nicole, have a good day.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
Thanks you, kid.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
And this is what I was going to do, and
I'll just do it quickly because there's nothing to debate
here on this one. It's just I don't understand. But
this is another one from Reddit. Am I the a
hole for leaving my boyfriend's place in the middle of
the night after he locked the bathroom. So this happened
a few nights ago, and I'm honestly still weird to add.
I'm a twenty eight year old female. I was staying
over my boyfriend's house. It's a thirty one year old male.
We've been dating for six months. Around eleven o'clock, I
(14:58):
got up to use the bathroom. I tried the handle
and it was locked. I waited, thinking maybe he was
in there, but no, he was just on the couch.
So I asked, why is the bathroom locked? And he said,
I don't let people use my bathroom after ten pm.
It's a boundary that I have. I told him I
had the opinion. He goes, well, then you're going to
have to wait till the morning, at which point I
(15:19):
didn't know what to say. I asked him to unlock it.
Told him this was ridiculous. He stood his ground and said, no,
my space, my rules.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
So I left. I didn't throw a fit.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
He texted me later, calling me disrespectful and that I
should have talked it out with him instead of walking out.
My sister said I did the right thing, but one
of my friends that I probably made it bigger than
it needed to be and I should have stayed in
dealt with it.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Did I overreact?
Speaker 7 (15:43):
What? Right?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I've never heard of such a thing? Does your bathroom
turn into a meth lab at ten o'clock?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
What is going on?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Like? Why can't I am in your home? I'm staying tonight,
I need I'm probably going to need to use the
restroom sometime between ten pm and the time that we
wake up. So what do you I've never heard of
such a thing that's a.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
House of horse yea, yeah, what?
Speaker 6 (16:03):
I feel like it's some childhood trauma of something going
on there. Maybe what happened in the bathroom after ten
But my friend had a house like this, but her
mom was shut down the kitchen at a certain time.
You couldn't get water, you couldn't get a snack, you
couldn't even just open a fridge. From time to time,
like people do just to see what's happening in there.
You couldn't do it after seven o'clock in her house.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
You ever checked the fridge just to see if something appeared?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Every day day?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I do this all the time. I'm the only one there,
so there's no way. And occasionally I'll open the fridge
and there'll be like a takeout or like in, like
something I ate the night before and forgot about. Occasionally
I'll be like, I forgot about that, But it almost
never happens that I opened the fridge and something's there
that I didn't know was there, because no one's going
to magically put it there. Nonetheless, I've never heard of
(16:49):
such a thing. You lock the back. This is in
a public park where people are gonna go like do
heroin and like hook up in the bathroom in the
middle of the night.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Ef Well, how do you think I know they locked
the ba.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
How do you think I know that it's I had
to find out other places.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
But I'm just it's like, I've never heard of such
a thing.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
That's insane.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
You want to see me whip it out and peeing
your like kitchen sink so fast?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
I mean I got it if I got a peeing there,
like I'm just not We're also no longer from like
we're breaking up.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Our liver level doing it, Like did you expect us
to do it? Because I mean, I'm not going to
get into it this early, but like, let's we got
to be respondible. We got to be respondible about our health,
you know. And let's say let's say at ten oh
five we do some stuff and then you know, at
ten ten I need, I don't want, right, so I
don't understand what this guy's doing. You lock your own
(17:42):
bathroom anyway, straight to you. So I didn't do that
one because there's just no there was no debate. I mean,
it's like did you over did you overreact? And to
see human need no

Speaker 1 (00:43):
You know. I scour the internet.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I do.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
I don't get enough credit.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I don't think for the amount of time I spend
looking at ridiculous websites, and it's going through Reddit, all
the all the weirdness on Reddit and all the weirdness
all over the place. I don't get enough credit for it,
I don't think. But I stumbled upon a few things
that I don't even know. I don't even know what
which what I want to do. But some of these
are just I mean, it's just like like, for example,
(01:06):
this one was this an overreaction about me ordering DoorDash
while babysitting. So this is a I guess a girl
saying I ordered DoorDash while babysitting because I hadn't eaten
since lunch and was getting a headache, and they were
two hours late, the kids were asleep, the food was
left on the porch, and I stepped outside for ten
seconds to grab it. So this is what happened. There's
(01:26):
a text message between the mom and the babysitter. Great,
we're taking the ten thirty train. She'd be home by
eleven thirty. Sorry, I thought we'd be done by now,
no problem. And then here comes a text from the mom. Hey,
our ring camera showed someone at the door. Was something delivered?
And she says, yes, I hadn't eaten, so I ordered
door Dash And here's the response. Okay, we'll talk about
(01:49):
it when we get home, but I'm really concerned that
you would do that without asking first. I would never
be okay with a stranger coming to the door while
my kids are sleeping. I really wish that you would
asked me before doing that. Please check to make sure
that the storm door is locked and the chain is
locked as well, since you opened them both. I get
that you were hungry, but it's more about the fact
(02:10):
that someone was coming to the door without my knowledge
and that you left the kids in the house alone
while you grabbed it. If something had happened, it really
makes me nervous. You could have eaten from the cabinet.
This is my home and my kids, and I need
to be able to fully trust who's there. We'll talk later.
Double check the doors, girl, so you can't okay. I
(02:30):
don't know what this girl was supposed to This wasn't
even my choice for morality Monday, but I'm reading this
going what was this girl supposed to do? First of all,
you're two hours late. Second of all, you're saying, go
through the cabinet so I can go through your stuff
and just eat your food without it. I mean, I
guess I could have texted you and said, hey, yeah,
you cui. Suppose you could have been like, hey, I'm
going to order some food.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Is that open?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I mean no, I don't want to pop tart like
I want a meal.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And I don't understand this, like yes, okay.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
She could have asked, Mom, hey, are you fine if
I order food or whatever she could have.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I'm being honest. I babysit.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
I sometimes will do that, but now as being the
mom and the parent, like I order my babysitter. I
have a babysitter now, by the way, and I love
her so much I'm never losing her, and I order
her door dash.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
She came over.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Yesterday for three hours and guests who ordered McDonald's I
did for us.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
It wasn't as you should, thank you.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
It wasn't the best meal, but I was like, hey,
you know, let's let's all ell something. And I always
offer my sitters or whoever's there, I'm gonna order you food.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
What would you like?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yes, my sister does.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I'm aware. I love that.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
She'll text a babysitter ahead of time and say, hey,
we're ordering Chick fil A for the girls. Do you
want that? Or we're ordering yeah, this or that? What
would you like? You know, whatever, so that there's food there. Baby,
Oh my god, these babysitters and it's sunny. It's not
an easy job, you know, a one year old in it.
But I will say, my sister goes out at like
seven o'clock. The girls go to bed at like seven
(03:46):
seven thirty, and so like you know, they do bath,
they do dinner, the babysitter comes over. You know, made freaks.
The one year old freaks out when Amanda leaves. Pauline
thinks it's funny. And then she puts them to bed.
You know, that's five minutes of hysteria. Puts them to bed,
and then eats the Chick fil A and gets paid
twenty five dollars thirty dollars an hour, yes, to make
(04:09):
sure that they don't like chocolate anything, which again you're
providing a service. And she's responsible and she's reliable, and
I'm not saying that she doesn't deserve that, but it's
a good gig.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I don't want it. I don't want it gig.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Yeah, I mean I used to be a babysitter and
a nanny. In my day, we didn't have door dash shows.
Usually they got me a pizza and they always said
I could eat whatever. But in my experience, like obviously
the parent is correct in saying that she has boundaries
or whatever. I think the way she spoke to her
was very like shameful. She could have handled it differently.
I also think for the babysitter standpoint, girl, you're gonna
have more problems because I babyset for families that would
(04:42):
leave me like novels of like you can't do this.
We're watching you and it's like it's not a comfortable situation.
It's not worth the money.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
But it's not like she invited the stranger in for tea,
right or something.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I'm dramatic foot Yeah, the benefit of.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
The person left.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
She went to get the food, locked the door, like
anybody else would.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I mean, these people are watching your children, you should
treat them with kindness and respect.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
What if an Amazon delivery had shown up?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
You ordered that the mailman like a girl.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
If you mailman is.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Showing up at ten o'clock at night, this maleman work
at astronomer, like what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Like what what what are we doing?
Speaker 6 (05:19):
I'd ask you for permission to get door dashed, like girl,
knock it off these kids in his house?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Children?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, I don't I don't know what she was supposed.
I mean, I suppose she It's ridiculous. I guess she
could have texted the mom and been like, hey, you
know right, like right even as I say that right now,
I'm like, no, she handled the problem herself, and she
paid for it too, which I might even argue that,
(05:50):
you know, that might be again a courteous thing for
the for the mom to say, hey, I'm sorry we're late.
You know, have you eaten dinner? Like either have something
from the kitchen or or you know, can I order
you something or can I, you know, bring you minutes
an hour later. She's already two hours later, so that
seemed considerate to begin with.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Yes, itsually, and the mom could say, hey, listen, i'm
a little kooky. So my first kid, second kid, whatever,
I have, I have anxiety. Hey next time, could you
just let me know or I can order you something beforehand?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
She could say that in passing when she gets there.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I suppose she could have said that like, hey, I
was all surprised to see the ring camera go off
at ten o'clock at night, Like I wouldn't just ay,
no problem, no problem at all, and by way, I'll
pick you back. Yeah, but can you just let me
know when you're gonna do that, just because I don't
want to be surprised when someone's knocking on the door
at ten o'clock at night. I suppose you, I suppose.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
You were on time to come get your kids. There
would be no surprise. I don't want to be surprised
with two extra hours of work.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
That's true, true, Jerry, Jerry, don't worry.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Good morning, love me get to the show.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
By the way, thank you man, thanks for thanks for
being part of the show. So what what happened here? Like,
I mean, I don't know what this girl was supposed
to do?
Speaker 7 (06:58):
Yeah, I mean I totally agree. I mean I get
that stragger coming to the door. But you know, how
is that different? You know, before you know, Hubert DoorDash
whatever was around h you know, people you order pizza,
Chinese food, you know, to the door, and you know
they were still you know, straggers coming to the door.
I mean I guess that they should have you know,
maybe texted her. But you know she's hungry, you know, yeah,
at the different time.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
So I'm allowed to rummage through your home to find
smash you scrounged for food, right, Like I mean, but
I can't order door dash that drops at the door
and someone, Yeah, that's weird. Jerry, thank you, have a
good day. Man, thanks for listening.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Okay, you too, appreciate it. There's something the.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Kids he's able to never know either, is I remember
Friday nights, and this was usually when we had to
go to my our father's house. You know, every other
weekend the parents are divorced, and there wasn't a whole
lot of cooking going on, but Friday night, every other Friday,
five something, he'd come pick us up, and then by
five thirty I was on the phone with the Dominoes guy.
And this is when you'd call the actual store. Now
(07:57):
this was in the nineties, guys, this wasn't that long ago.
But you'd call that you'd look up the phone number
for the Domino's nearest you, and then you'd call the
domino store and that someone answered the phone, and you'd
order a pizza and give them your address, and then
thirty minutes later they would show up at your door
with the pizza. And it was usually the same kid
that answered the phone every Friday night. So I'd be like, oh, hey,
(08:17):
Don or whatever. The kid Don would be a weird
name for a kid in the nineties, but you know,
I'd be like, hey, Chad, you know or whatever, Oh, hey,
you know, order the pizza. And then the guy who
delivered the pizza was usually a guy that you knew
because I don't know. But the kids you TAKEE will
never understand that when you were on a first name
basis with it with the pizza delivery people, because now
you don't know who's going to show up at your house.
So I suppose there's that it is a little weird
(08:38):
when you think about him. I would do a lot
of DoorDash. Let's say I ordered a DoorDash five times
a week. That's five different people at my front door
in the course of a month. That's twenty randoms at
my door. Like one of them is an ex murderer
for sure, they just have chosen not to murder me yet.
I mean, think about that, but think about think about
like I get that, but but we also it's twenty
(09:01):
twenty five, Like this is what we're doing.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
We get in the cars with strangers right on trips.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
That's another thing.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
And the joke has been told a million times and
I didn't write it, but it's like all the things
that your parents told you not to do as a
kid is exactly what we're doing with Uber.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Oh yes, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
It's like, don't talk to strangers, don't get into stranger's car.
We do it and then we drive away with these people.
Hey McKenzie, Hello, come Rinde. Hi McKenzie.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So this one.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I didn't mean to really do this one, but morality
Monday and a Wednesday. This this girl shared on Reddit
a text conversation between she and the mom whose kids
she was babysitting. There were two hours late getting home.
She ordered door Dash and the mom's season on the
ring cam and freaks out, what do you We got
strangers coming to my house delivering food. It was like
it was irresponsibile. She did something wrong. What was she
(09:45):
supposed to do?
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Yeah, no, it's twenty twenty five.
Speaker 9 (09:50):
If you have now ordered door Dash before, then you're
kind of doing something wrong. The mom, the parents, there
were two hours late. They should have provide totude. If not,
I think the mom's a little bit over reacting. I
would have done the same exact thing in this girls situation.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, and I agree with Kaitlin. I would never babysit
for that woman again, even if she's probably never gonna
call me, she's probably gonna call me, not call me
again because I because she was the irresponsible one when
she wasn't. But I wouldn't want a babysit of this
person because it's like I did, Okay, so this is
what's next. Yeah, right, it's like I'm doing I'm doing
this for you, and I've done a good job. And
I showed up on time and I didn't and I
(10:32):
can see the text matters. There was no complaint about
her being two hours late or anything like that. So
I don't know. I probably wouldn't babysit for these people anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I won't.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I won't babysit for these people anymore. This was actually
a conversation between me and on Friday nights, I babysit
for some people. It's fine, it's you know, and I
don't have kids on my own, so I vicariously.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Through that hiring Cockenzie.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
You have a great day. Thank you for listening.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
You're true.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
You guys have a great one.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Shout out to uh Pittborough, North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I've been to pitt Borough this time of year especially, No,
like there's a heat dome, there's a heat.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Doone going on?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Well I did hear that on this show.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
The other thing is I don't. I mean, I'm assuming
she was at North Carolina. But then we also see
like whose phone it is? You know, like like we
don't see your name unless you give it to us.
We see your number where you're calling from, but you
know mine would say Scottsdale because I've had the same
number for thirty years. Show the family Plan. No, my
sister is I'm not. I pay my own bill. I
just haven't changed my number. Oh independent woman, Okay, yeah,
(11:33):
I'm gonna I am my sister who's thirty seven years old.
My parents still pay for Herselfhere.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
You're too loud.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
This was the other one though, that your mom still
pays for your cell phone.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
No, I pay for it, but I'm on the plan.
I'm not getting off.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, I'm on Saturday. That I get. I mean, I
don't pay it. I don't, absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I've never paid a cell phone bill in my life.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Say your parents put yourself one bill too?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, every day, Jason, I love you, but you don't
pay mortgage rent, phone.
Speaker 10 (12:06):
Loans, got the education on this level, I would be
if I didn't have to pay a mortgage, a car,
a phone.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Do you pay car insurance? Yes? They do, Okay, good
for you.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
There would be hundreds just falling out of my car
everywhere too.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
He yeah, look at he said, Yeah, I got that
my ability.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Only I need to honor and pay your student loans
because I want to see Jason.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Without student loans, it's not going to walk. You can't
tell me nothing. He's gonna be dripping around. He's getting
the smoke everything hr because.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
He puts the maximum mount his four oh one carry.
I'm trying. I think I part with him, so.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
My maximm won't be able to tell me anything when
they're paid off. You know, for the longest time, I
couldn't afford to contribute to my four one case. So
then when I when I finally could, I put the
max when I could period when I could. Oh no,
it's very excited. Compound interest is amazing. Let me tell
(13:13):
you my seventy five hundred bucks is going to double
it seven years, that's right, and when.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
It does, you won't know me.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
You tell me nothing.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Hey Nicole, good morning, Hey, Hey, good morning, he Nichols.
You have three kids, and you would never do what
this woman did.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
No.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
I mean typically I always have like a family member babysit,
So even if I was a little bit not as friendly,
I don't think they would care. But I would never
be angry about somebody door dashing food to my house
like here I said I would. I always make sure
it's like that. I provide food. Like whenever I make
the kids or order the kids, I always make sure
I have food for them as well.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got you have to either either
provides food or expect something like this to happen. Because
if I'm gonna be there for six seven hours or
ever long I was, you know, I don't know you
go out at six o'clock, it's it's eleven thirty at night,
I probably need to eat something.
Speaker 8 (14:11):
Well, exactly when I was, when I was more concerned
about this lady, I'm so obsessed with giving these doors
blocked together. There's people always outside of her house, cat
her kids, or probably.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Because she leaves her kids for two hours.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Well I know you're so concerned, but
two hours late, but you don't worry about what time
you get home.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Thank you, Nicole, have a good day.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
Thanks you, kid.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
And this is what I was going to do, and
I'll just do it quickly because there's nothing to debate
here on this one. It's just I don't understand. But
this is another one from Reddit. Am I the a
hole for leaving my boyfriend's place in the middle of
the night after he locked the bathroom. So this happened
a few nights ago, and I'm honestly still weird to add.
I'm a twenty eight year old female. I was staying
over my boyfriend's house. It's a thirty one year old male.
We've been dating for six months. Around eleven o'clock, I
(14:58):
got up to use the bathroom. I tried the handle
and it was locked. I waited, thinking maybe he was
in there, but no, he was just on the couch.
So I asked, why is the bathroom locked? And he said,
I don't let people use my bathroom after ten pm.
It's a boundary that I have. I told him I
had the opinion. He goes, well, then you're going to
have to wait till the morning, at which point I
(15:19):
didn't know what to say. I asked him to unlock it.
Told him this was ridiculous. He stood his ground and said, no,
my space, my rules.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
So I left. I didn't throw a fit.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
He texted me later, calling me disrespectful and that I
should have talked it out with him instead of walking out.
My sister said I did the right thing, but one
of my friends that I probably made it bigger than
it needed to be and I should have stayed in
dealt with it.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Did I overreact?
Speaker 7 (15:43):
What? Right?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I've never heard of such a thing? Does your bathroom
turn into a meth lab at ten o'clock?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
What is going on?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Like? Why can't I am in your home? I'm staying tonight,
I need I'm probably going to need to use the
restroom sometime between ten pm and the time that we
wake up. So what do you I've never heard of
such a thing that's a.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
House of horse yea, yeah, what?
Speaker 6 (16:03):
I feel like it's some childhood trauma of something going
on there. Maybe what happened in the bathroom after ten
But my friend had a house like this, but her
mom was shut down the kitchen at a certain time.
You couldn't get water, you couldn't get a snack, you
couldn't even just open a fridge. From time to time,
like people do just to see what's happening in there.
You couldn't do it after seven o'clock in her house.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
You ever checked the fridge just to see if something appeared?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Every day day?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I do this all the time. I'm the only one there,
so there's no way. And occasionally I'll open the fridge
and there'll be like a takeout or like in, like
something I ate the night before and forgot about. Occasionally
I'll be like, I forgot about that, But it almost
never happens that I opened the fridge and something's there
that I didn't know was there, because no one's going
to magically put it there. Nonetheless, I've never heard of
(16:49):
such a thing. You lock the back. This is in
a public park where people are gonna go like do
heroin and like hook up in the bathroom in the
middle of the night.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Ef Well, how do you think I know they locked
the ba.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
How do you think I know that it's I had
to find out other places.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
But I'm just it's like, I've never heard of such
a thing.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
That's insane.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
You want to see me whip it out and peeing
your like kitchen sink so fast?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
I mean I got it if I got a peeing there,
like I'm just not We're also no longer from like
we're breaking up.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Our liver level doing it, Like did you expect us
to do it? Because I mean, I'm not going to
get into it this early, but like, let's we got
to be respondible. We got to be respondible about our health,
you know. And let's say let's say at ten oh
five we do some stuff and then you know, at
ten ten I need, I don't want, right, so I
don't understand what this guy's doing. You lock your own
(17:42):
bathroom anyway, straight to you. So I didn't do that
one because there's just no there was no debate. I mean,
it's like did you over did you overreact? And to
see human need no
