Son, it's what the hell headlines?

Speaker 2 (01:08):
What the hell are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (01:10):
On The Alabama Show, a man got arrested on New
Year's Day for throwing fireworks at a cop car.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Why you and guess where it was? Florida.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Who will never disappoint In twenty twenty five, it seems
like the trend still going. A twenty year old three
fireworks out of his car at a police car. The
state trooper pulled him over, and the guy admitted to
throwing the fireworks and apologized, and the cop was like, well, buddy,
you still got to go to jail. So he's in
jail now.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Why it's three things you need to know you with
the Alama Show.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Okay, so we've got the Arctic Blast coming in starting
this weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
It's going to be real cold.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Into next week, and the Jimmy Hale Mission has opened
its doors if you need shelter. Also, there's going to
be a free shuttle surface service from six to seven
pm to help people who are mobile challenged or without transportation.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
If you want to donate to shelter.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Some of the things they need twin sized washable blankets,
fresh fruit, paper, plates, napkins, plastic and flatware. But look
out for everybody. It's going to be real cold this
weekend and people need to get in, stay warm and
have shelter. We have a whole new generation that started
with the New Year. If you wanted to feel old

(02:25):
or you didn't, It's called Generation Alpha. Well it's called
Generation Beta. Generation Alpha ended at the end of the year,
and anybody born in the New Year technically is going
to be a part of Generation Beta. That's people born
between twenty twenty five and twenty thirty nine.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Which is so crazy, and a lot of them.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Will see the twenty second century, which is insane to me.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
You were listening to the Alabama Show on to Man.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Good Morning, Joe, what's your issue for ask Alabama?

Speaker 4 (03:27):
My now ex girlfriend wants me to pay her back
for all the money that she's paid toward bills and
like all the living together expenses since we've been together.

That's why we're here.

Whatever it is?

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Eight three three five oho one BAMA is the number.
What's going on with you and your ex girlfriend?

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Well?

Speaker 4 (03:53):
I guess first thing is we were together for six years.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Oh that's a long time.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Okay, yeah, yeah, it's a long time. And I guess
like the last four of them or so. We were
actually living together and we were living in a house
that I own. I bought it out right in my name.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
So she's not on the mortgage on the mortgage or anything. Okay,
but did she pay towards the mortgage? Like, how did
y'all div up the bills?

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Well? We like, so I wanted to be really fair
because I love this woman. We split the bills based
on our income. I made more, so I paid sixty percent,
she paid forty percent. And that's how it was for
a really long time. Everything was great and then what happened?

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Why is she your ex?

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Well?

Speaker 4 (04:34):
Yeah, my ex. Now I was planning on proposing. We've
been together long enough, but then I found out that
she was cheating on me, and they totally blindsided me. Yeah,
kind of toward the world apart. And yeah, now that
I broken up with her, she is demanding all of

(04:55):
the money back for you know, like the electric bill
and the rent that she paid.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Well, because she was having what she paid you was
going towards paying the mortgage off.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Did you kick her out? Does she still live with
you or what?

Speaker 4 (05:10):
She doesn't live with me anymore? Okay, Yeah, so I
guess I just maybe need someone to say it. I
need to hear it because I'm not a lawyer. I
don't have a lawyer. She's threatening to sue me for
all of this money, and if I don't give it
to her, I can't have any real claim to this, right.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Producer, Blake here, you're jumping up, what do you think?

Speaker 5 (05:28):
Okay, let me be your unofficial lawyer right now.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Oh god, okay, okay, No, we're not doing it.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
We're not doing it. We're gonna say good luck missy,
maybe your new mister can pay you back.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
What's the grand total?

Speaker 3 (05:46):
What's the grand total of money she's saying she gave
you over the past four years.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
You's forty thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
She wants forty thousand dollars.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
Yeah, buddy, get gone.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, good luck, lady. I'll get out to hear hey,
hear me out.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Here's this and here this is the thing that i've
because the house I have is.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
In my name.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
I have purposely said, like whoever moved like steak Daddy,
my boyfriend lives in my log cabin with me. I
do not let him pay towards the mortgage because I
never want somebody to come back and say they're entitled
to part of the house, because that is an asset.
And y'all, y'all were together for six years. It's like
you were married. That's what I like.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
I'm saying, does she have any standing here, because she's
telling me she will come after me for more. She's saying,
she wons forty grand for the last four years brand
a year, and I'm getting it cheap. If she has
to come after me, she's coming for more.

Speaker 5 (06:37):
Okay, Look, look, since she's not on the name of anything.
You're fine, there's literally no problem here.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Let's see if we can give some advice for you.
Has anybody been through this? Eight three three five oh one,
Bama is the number. Uh, that's eight three three five
oh one two two six two.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
You were listening to the Alabama Show on dement.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Joe was dating a girl for six years. They lived
together for four The house they live in is under
Joe's name, so it was going towards the mortgage that
he was paying. When they both paid rent. His girlfriend
cheated on him, he kicked her out. Now she's asking
him for the last four years of mortgage that she

(07:19):
paid for to live with him, which is forty thousand dollars,
and he wants to know do I really have to
pay this back to her?

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Eight three three five oh one Beamma is the number? Steven,
Good morning. What do you think?

Speaker 6 (07:31):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 7 (07:32):
When you live somewhere, brother, you're paying a mortgage or rent.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
You've got to pay something.

Speaker 7 (07:39):
So if they weren't living there, to be paying rent up.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
There somewhere else, So it's essentially like they were renting
from the person they were dating.

Speaker 6 (07:50):
That's the way I see it. However, if both names
are on the mortgage, then you got a problem.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yes, well, thankfully in this case it's only one name
on the mortgage, it's not both.

Speaker 7 (08:01):
But the best thing to do is by you all damn.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
How or go live in your parents' basement.

Speaker 6 (08:09):
I'll just go for the.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
If you missed it, Joe called the show. He and
his girlfriend have been living together for four years. He
found out she was cheating on him, he kicked her out,
and now she's asking for money back that she paid
for the last four years towards the mortgage and them
living together. And he's like, do I have to pay
her this money back? Eight three three five oh one?
Bama is the number? Sasha, good morning. What do you

(08:34):
think I.

Speaker 8 (08:36):
Think you should pay her nothing back? Listen, I'll watch
tons of Judge Judy and people will go on this
all the time and they want their money back for
the expenses that they paid there in their relationship. And
that's not going to happen.

Speaker 6 (08:47):
They were not married.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
What does Judge Judy say, Judge.

Speaker 8 (08:51):
Judy never gives them the money.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Give me a good, give me a good, Judge Judy rant?

Speaker 2 (08:57):
What does she rant when she when she like scolds
and lectures. There's the people here.

Speaker 8 (09:02):
That they need to have signed contracts as they want
money back, even if it's in a relationships.

Speaker 9 (09:10):
I'm in a.

Speaker 8 (09:11):
Different kind of things, you know what I'm saying, thinking
ahead in advance, like this might not last forever.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Absolutely, And we just had a caller who made a
great point. He was like, no matter where she would live,
if she was living with him or not, she would
still have to pay rent, she.

Speaker 8 (09:23):
Would have to pay expenses.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yes, absolutely, Sasha, thank you for calling. Thank you, Bob Wyatt,
good morning. What's your advice for Joe and his girlfriend
trying to get money out of them for the house
they lived in together?

Speaker 7 (09:37):
Okay, So I have an ex wife, and keep in
mind we were married and she thought that I owned
my house before we got married, and she thought when
we divorced that she was going to I was gonna
have to pay her half the value of the house.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
How long did you own the house before you got married?
How many years?

Speaker 7 (10:01):
Like a year and a half, I think, okay, And
then she thought I was going to pay her back
for like her half of the bills and everything that
she paid while we were married, and her attorney told
her that she needed to just sign the divorce papers
because taking it to court was just going to result

(10:22):
in her having to pay my attorney fee.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
And spend more money and not get any money back.

Speaker 7 (10:27):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Okay, that's great, thank you for that. That's good tonight.

Speaker 7 (10:30):
Where you are responsible for the bills acquired at that location.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
I don't know why people just don't understand, like that's
part of being an adult.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
You got to pay for where you live.

Speaker 7 (10:41):
Exactly. That would be like trying to sue your landlord
because you think you're entitled to the house because you
were paying for it while you live there.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Makes total sense, Wyatt, thank you for calling.

Speaker 7 (10:52):
Yes, ma'am, have a good day.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
So Joe just called the show.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
They broke up, she cheated on him, He kicked her
out of the house.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
He bought the house, and so his.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Girlfriend was paying towards the mortgage, and now she's asking
for the last four years that she paid, which is
forty thousand dollars back, because she's like, I paid towards
your house.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Eight three three five oh one, BAMA is the number?
What do you think? Candace? Good morning.

Speaker 6 (11:16):
According to Judge Judy, many times she says when y'all
play house, that that is on your own.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Accord, and she does not award the other person money
unless y'all are married.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
I love this, Candace, because you're the second person that's
called and quoted Judge Judy.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
You gotta love it now according to what judge you did.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
I'm not saying that there's not a way out there.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Wait wait, I'm gonna wait, wait wait, because you're giving
great advice.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
I just want to give you your Judge Judy music. Okay,
keep going.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
According to what jug is out there.

Speaker 6 (11:55):
I'm not saying that you know, a judge won't win
her favor, but.

Speaker 9 (12:00):
Most judgment like Judge Dudy, we'll say nope, he's lad house.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
This is what you get when you play house and
you don't do it for really, you don't get real
money back.

Speaker 6 (12:11):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Thanks my Amanda, good morning.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
What do you think about Joe's girlfriend wanting him to
pay her back the last four years worth of rent
she spent living with him.

Speaker 9 (12:23):
I think she's insane and that you're right. You have
to pay rent if you're an adult wherever you live.

Speaker 8 (12:27):
Unless it's at your mama's house.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yep.

Speaker 9 (12:29):
And as far as the Judy is Judy would say,
my father didn't send me to eleven years of postgraduate
work to sit here into bad couple wearing stuff. If
you want to do stuff like you're marriage, quit playing
house and.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Go to.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Literally, I think the biggest thing we have learned on
the show today is we have a lot of people
who listen to the Alabama Show and love to watch
Judge Judy.

Speaker 9 (12:50):
Both of you guys wrong, So keep it together.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
I love you, Thank you, Amanda, thanks for calling a
great great.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
It's three things you need to know you with the
Alabama Show.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Don't forget we've got that big cold blast coming in
next week. Literally, the highs will be in the middle
thirties on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the lows in the twenties.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Ice and snow could be expected. We don't know. We'll
keep a watch on it.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
But if you're out running your errands this weekend, I'm
just going to go ahead and say go buy all
the milk and all the bread.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Everybody's going to be mad at me for that. Why
do we buy milk and bread?

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Just stock up on You don't need bread unless you're
making French toast.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
You'll be okay. But get what you need.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Ice and snow possible next week. Lows could be like
in the teens. It's going to be crazy. If you
are doing a dry January. You're going into your first
weekend of the month right now, which could be the hardest.
So here are some reminders of why it's good for
you from the experts. It can help with weight loss
and lower your blood pressure. Dry January can also have

(13:50):
short term health benefits, and it can promote self awareness
and drinking patterns.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
One of the top things.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
They say to get you through dry January, remember your why,
remember why you're doing it.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
You got this, You can do this. I believe in you.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
Instead, drink the new Chick fil A drink they just
brought back. Chick fil A just brought back the Key
Lime frosted lemonade after being gone for five years. It's
going to be back Tuesday, January seventh. Also, they're bringing
back the Grilled Spicy Deluxe Sandwich. Oh both for a
limited time. I can't wait. That's three things you need
to know. More at The Alabama Show dot com, the.
