On the 2nd episode of The Joevelocity Show, Joe is joined by his guest Hubba and we discuss some more stories from the r/AITA Subreddit:
• AITA for asking my brother to stop doing magic tricks at every family event?
We kick off the show with a story about a woman questioning if she's in the wrong for asking her brother to tone down his magic tricks at family events. We explore the brother's constant need to perform, especially highlighted at their father's retirement dinner, and the family dynamics that ensue. We touch on the importance of reading the room and the delicate balance between passion and overstepping boundaries. We consider potential constructive outlets for his enthusiasm, such as volunteering at elder homes or performing for children, while sharing some personal insights into working with kids and their unpredictable yet genuine reactions.
• AITA for refusing to go to my friend’s "no-phones dinner" after what happened last time?
Next, Joe and Hubba explore the complexities of attending social events where phones are restricted, specifically focusing on a listener's dilemma about a friend's "no phones" dinner party. After missing an urgent call during a previous event, the listener feels conflicted about attending without a phone, especially when emergencies could arise. We weigh both sides, considering the host's desire for undistracted interaction against the necessity of being reachable. Additionally, we touch on the broader implications of phone use in social settings, including how constant phone use can disrupt meaningful interactions, illustrated by anecdotes from dating and concert experiences. The conversation underscores the balance between enjoying the present moment and the practicality of staying connected.
• AITA if I ask my wife to stop doing this weird roleplay?
Next, we explore a listener's dilemma about discovering their wife's intricate online role-playing hobby, which involves managing multiple fictional Facebook profiles. We unpack the husband's concerns about the strange yet harmless nature of her activity, debating whether he should ask her to stop. Through reading listener comments, we gain insight into the world of character creation, comparing it to the work of authors who develop elaborate backgrounds for their characters. We consider the creative aspect of this role-play and suggest approaching the wife with understanding and openness, acknowledging the importance of creative outlets for personal expression.
• And in the Moment of Conclusion, my fiance has been selling my panties behind my back…
In the Moment of Conclusion, we embark on a wild journey as we uncover the shocking discovery of a woman whose fiancé has been secretly selling her used panties on Craigslist to make extra money. Initially thinking her missing underwear was misplaced, she learns the unsettling truth when her fiancé admits his actions, claiming he intended to use the money to buy her a customized wedding band. However, things take a darker turn when she finds out he's also been posting semi-nude pictures of her without her consent to facilitate these sales. Feeling betrayed and exploited, she decides to end the engagement and seek support from her sister. The conversation touches on issues of trust, consent, and boundaries, emphasizing the emotional impact of such a violation.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Someone gave him a mic and no adult supervision. This
is the Joe Velocity Show.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And welcome to the Joe Velossie Show. I'm Joe and
I am here with my guests this week. How about
a how you doing so?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I'm good? How you doing it?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I'm doing well? A lot of good stories here today,
So let's.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Go ahead here and let's get this started. So story
number one.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Am I the asshole for asking my brother to stop
doing magic tricks at every family event.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
So here's a story.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I twenty seventemale have a younger brother, twenty four, Mail,
who really got into magic during the pandemic. At first,
it was kind of cool. He learned card tricks, slight
of hand stuff, and even a few coin illusions. We
were all supportive, in part because he was stuck at
home and needed a hobby. Thing is he still brings
said everywhere to this day. Every dinner, every birthday, holiday cookout,
(01:04):
he pulls out a deck of cards. It's like he
needs to perform me. He gets noticeably sulky if no
one's paying attention. The breaking point was that our dad's
were retirement dinner last weekend. It was just family and
if you was the coworkers had a nice restaurant. My
dad was making a short speech when my brother pulled
out a deck of cards and tried the segue into
a quick trick the honor of the man of the hour.
(01:26):
No one asked for this. My Dad awkwardly laughed and
said maybe later, buddy, and tried to continue, but my
brother still went around the table afterwards, doing his routines
like it was expected. Later that night, I put him
aside and said, paraphrasing, maybe he just checked the vibe
before launching into a show. People came to celebrate Dad,
not for a magic show. He got defensive immediately and
(01:48):
accused me of being jealous and unsupportive, of saying I
never wanted to see him succeed. Now my parents are involved,
they said I should just let him have his moment
and that he's just passionate. But it's not one moment,
it's every single time. So am I the asshole?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
No? Absolutely not, absolutely not.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
At the end of the day, he got to learn
when to He got to really read the room, and
that's his problem. Like at the end of the day,
you know, like, and it's okay to get constructive criticism.
Sometimes you know it's not. It wasn't her like being jealous.
It wasn't her being mean, It wasn't her being vindictive,
none of that. It was just her just trying to
be like, look just read the room. Sometimes this was
(02:33):
about dad, This wasn't about you.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Right exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I can imagine him at a funeral, you know, it's
like dearly departed.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Hey, guess a card? Which card is? You know?
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Everybody crying and he up her pulling out a decad cord,
go sit down.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Same ways.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I think the comments agreed with you and me or yeah,
so they said succeed, like what he thinks this is
his career.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
I mean it could be if you're really good at it.
And there's there's a couple of people on TikTok that
does magic that is really good and it and that
trips people out, but their professionals and are really good
at what they do, you know, and it's just like, Okay,
we we get the fact that you want to practice
like all the time and get good at what you do,
(03:23):
but if you keep on doing it when it's just
not the right timing, people are going to get real
tired of it quickly, right, you.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Know, what I mean, and it's just going to.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Ruin everything about what you know, it's just going to
ruin his dreams in a way.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
To me, you know, I think it's gonna be one
of this point that somebody is gonn eventually have had
enough with his shenanigans and be like, you know what.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Nope, exactly, somebody gonna slap on something someday.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Exactly, you know. And their commentary said, Nope, this is
more about your brother's ego and getting attention when the
focus was supposed to be on his dad. Your dad's
celebration was about launching his career as a magician. And
they went on to say, I have secondhand embarrassment for him.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Yeah, because it's just like he's just it's just too much,
you know, yeah, too focused on himself when sometimes he
got to learn to like put hisself to this ad
and focused on was in front of him, and that's
what that was his father.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
However, somebody else came up with a really good idea
in the comments soggesse he volunteer at elder homes, Yes,
and then the person and then somebody else responded to this.
Then he literally has a captive audience that cannot escape
if the wheelchair looks her on, or he could do
(04:44):
a couple of kids shows before hanging up as Robert
producing top Hat and keep. Kids are absolutely brutal. They
would take him down a peg or two and tell
him what he's what they think of his act.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Yeah, but at the same time, kids or kids are
easily entertained too, you know, don't forget I used to
work with kids for years. Well, kids, kids can easily
get entertained.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Well. I used to work at the.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Boys and Girls Club, I want, the Boys and Girls
Club for about almost five years, and then I worked
I worked at a daycare for a couple of years
while I was working.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
At the Boys and Girls Club.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
And I mean, don't get me wrong, I've helped out
with my nieces and nephews and things like that as
they grew up and stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
But when you work in a daycare, you know, like
you deal with.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Infants, toddlers, pre k so each is different, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Like when you're dealing with toddlers, you know, you're.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Dealing with them still trying to learn how to walk
somewhat and them still trying to learn how to speak things.
Oh yeah, well this is that's infants, you know, infence.
You got to learn how to call them and know
when it's a good time to feed them, and.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Okay, cry a lots.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Oh lord, you know and three k they're they're at
a point where you know they're speaking well, they're they're
absorbing everything, like they're learning everything, and they don't miss
a beat, you know.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
So they're very observant. Yes, yes, right.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Another person said, I dig how letting him have his
moment was only a thing when you said something, your
indad was like not now, son Grinnam was talking right right,
and like that one said, there, I let this go through.
It sounds like your brother is ruining for himself. And
continue to blunder around, obliviously, annoying the glade eyes and
the vague mutterings about needing a rushroom or leaving early. Hey,
(06:42):
n kay, pick a card. I think I left the
oven on, but you're visiting from out of town. I'm
so positive I did, But ain't ca you're saying at
the Hilton Sweets they don't even have ovens. Oh my god,
I think it smells something burning from here.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Because she flees.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That was a good one, right, it's like, just give
me an excuse to get out of here.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Nig jig just.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Man, no man.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Anyways, we're gonna go ahead here we move on to
the second story. Right, Am I the asshole for refusing
to hear that my friends no phones dinner after what
happened last time. No, my friend hosts these no phones
dinner once a month. That's her thing. Everyone drops her
phone in the basket and just vibes. I respect it,
(07:33):
even if I find out a bit much. I had
gone to a few and it was fine. The problem
is last time I went, my sister had an emergency
and couldn't reach me for hours. She was dealing with
a situation involving her mom, who was taken to the hospital.
She had no one else to call. I didn't see
any of it until dinner was over three hours later.
I left feeling like crap. Now, this month, my friend
(07:55):
invited me again. I said I come, but I was
keeping my phone on me in case something happened. She
got weirdly defensive, saying it defeated the purpose and that
everyone needed to be fully present or not come at all.
So I said, okay, I won't come. Now she's mad
calling me inflexible, saying it's just one night and I'm
being dramatic. But I'm not putting myself in that situation again,
(08:17):
am I the answer for skipping it over this?
Speaker 5 (08:21):
That's I'm kind of in the middle with that because
I get the point that she wants. I get the
point that she doesn't want no funds. So that's the
one of the party, you know what I mean. But
at the same time, it's like, can you at least
like let people have a like a watch one or something,
you know, because nowadays we have these watches and things
(08:42):
like that. Can we at least have that just in
case of emergency, People have kids, people have fabilities.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
That is a good point, Yeah, because I realized there
could be something else you could be worrying that you
could stiok at those notifications, right, but not be attached
to your family, which I think is what she's trying
to avoid the.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Right right, like or at least let some people have
a wringer on, like an emergency ringer or something so
where like, okay, they can go check U see who
it is and if it ain't, if it ain't important,
they can just let it go, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Put your phone on do not disturb, right, Yeah, so
that way is so important people can get through, right,
because there's settings that you can use to override it
for certain people that they call multiple times.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
But in a way I can understand her not going
because it's just like you're not trying to be understandable
in what I'm trying to tell you, right, And I
understand that's the point of the party. But what if
something happens again? Yeah, you know, so I can understand that,
but I'm in the middle with this. I'm not gonna.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Apparently a lot of people were also in the middle
with this there too, so you're not that far off.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
And I agree there too.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
One of the comments said, not the asshole all, but
everyone putting their phones on do not disturb, for example,
the numbers of listener permergencies will be able to get through.
Somebody else said, this ship always buggs me. Folks, not
children that need to be managed. You should simply see
the purpose is to be fully present. Please don't use
your phone. You should all be adulted not to leave
it in your pocket. And then when someone keeps calling you,
(10:10):
you say, excuse me, let me make sure this is
an emergency and look, you know, like a grown adult.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Some member commenters are kind of like, this is not
necessarily a bad idea, because one of them said, no,
I spent a weekend with someone who was basically on
our phone the whole entire time, couldn't even listen. It's
a trip I would like to avoid repeating. And the
last commenter said, I'm dating someone like this and it's frustrating.
We were in a really cool place watching a sunset.
(10:40):
I was trying to work up the courage to tell
him I love him for the first time, but he
kept focusing on his phone. Then he insisted I looked
through his Snapchat memories or whatever else with him, and
a picture of him coloring with his ex popped up.
So it really killed the vibe even more. I haven't
even said it. He actually seems to think it's suspicious
that I put my phone down when he starts talking
(11:01):
to me, So it's kind of like, you know, she's
being courteous and everything there and not being on our
phone constantly there and he's not getting the hint.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Now, that's the asshole. That's the asshole.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
But I think we all know people like that though,
they're like literally, you know, that's all they can.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Do, you know, is sit there and be on their
phone the whole entire time and not be present in
the whole entire moment.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Also to what also.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Reminds me of this as well, is that like a concerts,
for example, people will always be literally sitting there recording everything.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
That's annoying to me that like, you're not actually enjoying
a concert.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Yeah, you know, I'm.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Taking a few pictures here and there, that's fine, But
if you're sitting there recording the whole entire damn thing
to put it up on snapchat later for you know,
people like me the watch and watch you you know,
joke your phone and watch. You know, you sit in
the you know, peanut Heaven, which is like the last
rows in the stadium.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
You're so high up. It's like, you know, the actual
artist is like a.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Small little blood, right, It's like, what's the purpose of that,
And it's the.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Point you're just there to videotape. You're not even near
to enjoy the concert.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Right, live in the moment, you know, right, don't be like,
you know, I need to record this prosserity because I'll
be honest. I mean I recorded the New Kids in
the Block concert I went to when I was down
in Atlanta last year, and do I watch it at all?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
No? No, you don't go back and watch these things. Yeah,
you just.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Literally uploaded onto Facebook or TikTok whatever you're on and
that's about it. And then it's like, Okay, I get this.
You want to keep memories, but you can't keep that
memory in your head, Like seriously, you can't keep that
memory your head and just sit there and enjoy the
concert exactly.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
You know, but look, this is me, this is me here.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
I do there's times I do be on my phone. Yeah,
I will say that. But at the same time, it's
like when somebody sit up there and tell me, hey,
like I'm trying to talk to you and tell you something,
have some respect, like oh, I'm so sorry, and put
the phone down and let it be. Learn to like
have some respect for other people when they feel some
kind of way about you being on the phone and
(13:13):
they're trying to tell you something, you know, have have
some compassion. That's the that's the problem with this generation.
People lack that nowadays.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Right you know? Uh man man, Yeah, some people will
never learn and you know.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Never nothing.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
We're we're the old boomers.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah right, I'm in my thirties now I'm a ninety baby, so.
Speaker 3 (13:44):

so believe or not.

Welcome back to the ji Velosi Show. You're dancing a
long going out.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
We're gonna go ahead here and get into the third
story here and by the assholef I asked my wife
to stop doing this weird role play. So recently my
laptop broke and why I was waiting for it to
be fixed, I needed to use my wife's laptop. This
had never been a problem before. At this time, however,
I noticed that she was logged into Facebook, which is
strange in itself because she claimed she didn't have an
(15:47):
account there, but under a different male name and surtinname.
I admit and intrigued me and I looked there. I
had no idea what the profile belongs to, but basically
the entire profile was dedicated to the volleyball. The man
was a former player, had to retire from the game
after an injury, but still shared information about it. He
also came from a small town, which when I googled
(16:07):
it is actually a small village in Germany. He also
had a wife and two children, who profiles I also found,
which ultimately let me down the rabbit hole. All these
people came from the same place. Some had real photos,
sometimes disturbingly came to looking ones. Others had animey profiles,
others had gaming profiles, and so on. Each profile had
a theme. Some shared links to Reddit, Twitter, etc. Some
(16:30):
were still active. The man whose profile I was using
belonged to a group that included other strange accounts. One
of these groups that popped up most often was for
conspiracy theorists. I also saw his messages and they looked
like those of a real person. Then went on for months,
sometimes with photos and so on. I didn't understand why
I was looking at My wife is still at the store,
(16:52):
so I closed faithbook.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Went to a laptop. I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I found a tent of folders label with names, photos,
a timeline, and future plans for this character. Even things
like changing Jews, change profile, picture, marriage TikTok controversy were included.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
When my wife.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Came back, I asked her about it right away. I
didn't have a theory about it. I was just confused.
It all seems so real. My wife brushed me off,
not seemed bothered by it at all. She said it
was her role play for fun. But since then I
can't stop thinking about it. There were over one hundred
of these folders, over one hundred characters who interact with
each other, even though they were all my wife. This
(17:33):
really strikes me. It's strange, and from now on, every
time I look at my wife, I just think about it.
I want to ask her to stop doing this, but
I don't know if I'm allowed to. I mean, technically,
she doesn't do anything super bad, and I don't think
she interacts with real people.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
But still it's disturbing for me.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Wow we Ooh, so she's not cheating technically, you know,
so we know that much.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
She's not sitting up there talking.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Yeah, And I don't think she's looking for anything sexual.
I just think that it's just something fun for her
to do. Is she a housewife or does work or
I wish we knew a little more details far as that.
But at the same time, this is like a little
hobby she has, and it's like, let.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Her have it.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I think the commenters actually kind of maybe fill the
missing blanks here. Let me read some of those here
and we see what you think.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Here.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
One of them said, technically she doesn't have Facebook. She
controls accounts, but none are her very thin reascenting. But
if someone searches for her, she is not there, so
not exactly a lie seg one goes on and this
is probably the one that will clear it up even
more for you. Really, I'm an author. What she is
doing is an elaborate way of doing what we do
character creation. When I write, I need characters, so I
(18:51):
create them histories, locations, schools, hobby, all of it. I
need characters with backgrounds. Their backgrounds determine how they react
in situations. Without that, you get what are called shallot characters. Well,
I never really use Facebook for this. It sounds like
a good idea, depending on the storyline. And then somebody
responded to that and said, I was going to say
exactly this. I'm also an author, and I even seem
(19:11):
to be suggested to create and menasuring social media to
help flush at characters. I never took that literally, as
in creating actual accounts, but it's honestly a really simple
way to maintain character details.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
And continuity and.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Then get into the headspace of the character when it's
time to write them. I don't know, creative people have
outlets and don't see this as being harmful unless she's
using using it to scam people or have affairs or
something equally nefarious and you're asking about them, and like
he has her feeling built embarrassed that you came across
our social media characters studies, fan fiction, but also upset
(19:42):
that you invaded a privacy. I think you need to
come to your wife with a much more open mind.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Absolutely, That's that's the comment I like right there, because
he's so this is a different.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Comment from an art from a you know.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
From somebody else who was responding to Reddit post right exactly.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
It's like, she's to me, maybe, you know, maybe you
should look into your wife doing something like that, actually
being an Arthur like actually given Arthur's ideas, you know
what I.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Mean, Like, yeah, is she writing something?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
There?
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Is she you know, what is she doing with us?
Exactly there and.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Exactly But it's to me, it's her hobby. And to
me it just seems like he just looked he was
just looking for something to bother him, you know, what
I mean, like, that's what it looked like to me, because.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I also think he was also very confused by this here,
so you just needed some clarification. But I don't think
she helped her.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, she definitely didn't help this at all.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
She kind of left him like clueless onto what the
hell she's really doing.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Right, But at the end of the day, it's something
she likes to do. She's not doing nothing illegal.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
She's not out her having sex, she's not out her
former people upper enjoying. She's upper having a little hobby
that she enjoys. I say, let her have it.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah, the comments get more interesting, actually, next one goes
on to say they have fake social media generators that exist.
Fan fic authors use them all the time to make
social media epsol Larry Fix. There's zero reason to create
the real accounts to do this. That's why it's weird
and shady. So this commenter doesn't really agree with us here,
and they went on the edit it to make it
(21:20):
very clear.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Do not mean chat, GPT or genitive AI.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I mean websites you can use to create fake social
media posts using the text you input into the generator
that formats them look like whatever website you want, coding
and assets. They've been available for well over a decade
and they're not generitive AI. And then the last person goes,
I am literally an author, it is my job. I've
traditionally published two books. I would dead ask never use
(21:44):
any type of AI ridiculous generators that create any part
of my stories. Some people do, and ya for them.
Most of us don't. In fact, most writers are horrified
that people will even suggest such a thing. So, I mean,
the responses to the sire scene very mixed. Her It's
kind of like, I think I agree with you, though,
it's kind of like, you know, she's not causing any
(22:05):
harm to him, so you know, it's just kind of
like I think, if anything, you know that one coming
was like you need to come with this morn up
in mind. It's kind of like, I think that's really
what he needs to do. He needs to go to
her and be like, hey, you know, why why are
you doing this here? I'm just kind of curious. I
don't care. You know, it's and I think it's you
know that you're creating this backstory, but what's the purpose
(22:25):
of this here? Because I think it's really one of
those cases there where we don't know what she's doing
with it.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Right, and it's just telling her, it's just thinking that
she needs to stop doing it and telling her that
she needs to stop doing it. That's the point that
I don't that I don't like. I think that's to me,
that's that's just.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Not cool to me. I don't like that.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Now, have a have an actual sit down discussion about it.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
With her, and she should actually.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Do, you know, let him know what she's doing and
what's the purpose of it, you know what I mean,
Just to get an understanding because at the end of
the day, that is your other half, Like, come on now.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
You know.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
So anyways, we're gonna go ahead and move on to
the last story, which is our moment of conclusion.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
So you thought these stories were wild?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Just wait, I just found out my fiance has been
selling my panties behind my back. This goes on for
a while, So sit down and settle in, because we're
in for a ride here. We've been engaged for four
(23:38):
months and dating for two years. We've decided to move
in together about after three months, and everything has been
going wonderfully throughout the last three months. I've noticed my
underword going missing every now and then. I thought nothing
of it because I probably had like fifty pairs, and
I usually keep a pair of two in different bags
persons in case of monthly accidents. So sometimes we'd be
looking for the red lace song but can't find it,
(24:00):
and so I assume it's in a purse or bag
or that was my reasoning. This morning, I was looking
for the matching panties to a brawl that I was wearing.
I looked all over and could not find them. Asked
my fiance to check the dryer in case they were
in there. He chuckled and said he had sold them.
Oh God. I assumed he was kidding and laughed and
asked him look for me again. Then goes, babe, I'm serious.
(24:26):
I could not believe what I was hearing. I was
beyond upset and hurt. I pressed them for details, and
he said he's been selling my warn panties to ring
them people from Craigslist. I packed a bag and went
to my sister's house for the night. I feel sick
to my stomach about this. We aren't even broker's trap
for cash. His reasoning was that he wanted to make
extra minds, get me a nice wedding band. I need
(24:49):
advice about this? What should I do? I'm at a
loss right now?
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Come on?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
So, yeah, so you don't think he's the asshole that order.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Oh, he definitely is.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
He definitely is with a simple fact that like, I mean,
I respect the fact that he was honest about it. Yeah,
But at the same time, it's the way, like the
timing of it.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
It was just like he could he should have.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
He should have asked her for that, right, he should
have asked her to do that, but I guess he
wanted to be a surprise.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Yeah. But at the same time, it's like, come on, now,
that's that's that's falls.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Under sexual You know, the commenters agree with you there,
like why did you even think to ask your opinion
before this here? Oh, that's right, because it's fucking creepy. Yes,
and new across the line with you. Don't let him
try to justify his actions. They'd be putting aside the
grissness of this. He's still stealing your belongings and sell
them without your permission, let alone those belongings with your
bodily fluid on them.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yes, yeah, he was he was dead wrong for that.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
And then another person would I know you have a
long history with him, but if he's kept something like this,
see but absolutely no hint of remorse when confronted, and
just everything about this says to me he's just a weirder.
He doesn't respect boundaries and has no problem keeping awful
secrets from you. I don't think I'll be able to
trust someone who'd done that break up break up with
them entirely. Uh yeah, it's just kind of like this
(26:18):
behavior is just kind of like, you know, I'm going
to sell them, and you know, I mean it's like
he wasn't even like, you know, trying to hide the fact.
He's just like, no, I saw them on craigslist, you know.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Like I said, I respect the fact that he was
honest about it, he told her about it, but this
was very creepish, Like this was creepy as hell, you know,
and just for him to do that behind her back, right,
it's betrayal.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Well, guess what it gets worse. There's an update, So
the poster says, first and foremost, thanks to everyone's thoughts, will, advice,
and feedback. I went back to my place with my
sister was at work. I packed up majority of my
things and brought him to my sister's place. Once he
got off work, I phoned them. I felt this was
the easiest method of communication and told them exactly what
(27:07):
he had done. Here are the main key points. He's
been selling my used pennies for the last three months.
In addition to this, he has also posted semi nudes
sexually suggested pictures of myself that I sent him. He
had sold the underwear that I had on in the pictures.
He sitting only posted the pictures to the buyer to
prove them that was really me.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
He said.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
He told buyers that one hundred percent consenting he printed
to be me and the emails, and when he met
up in person to sell them, he would tell men
that I was too afraid that coming on my own
and asked him to go deliver them. He sold about
twenty pairs of underwear. I have a lot of underwear
and frequently purdused new pairs. This is why I didn't
(27:53):
really know such a huge amount going missing, especially since
I usually keep a few pairs in gym bags, et cetera.
He admitted to have nine hundred dollars through this. He's
said he sells them for about forty dollars a pair,
give or take. He initially told me he wanted a
bit of extra cash in order to customize my wedding band.
When I pressed him on, he admitted he got a
bit of a thrill by saw I can and he said,
(28:13):
knowing other men found me it's sexually attractive, got aroused
by my underwear. He apologized profusely and tried to compare
it to selling my used designer shoes or purse. I
completely disagree with this because there is a sexual motivation
for these things. I feel sexually exploited and taken advantage of.
I decided to break off the engagement and I'm done
(28:34):
with this relationship. This entire incident took me by surprise,
and I never suspected that he would do something like this.
I will hopefully break the news to my family this
weekend with the support of my sister. He's still trying
to convince me to go to a couple's therapy with them,
wants to savage our relationship, but I'm honestly done with
them at this point.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Yeah, that's done, done, That's that's out the door.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
I even take that shit back with thee that at all.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
He can kiss my ass.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
He has agreed he wants to go a couple's therapy.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
It's like, for what you and your shitty out a
couple's therapy.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
No, you need therapy.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Yeah, so that next relationship you get into, because you're
not going to be with me for one at all.
So the next relationship you get into, you just don't
do nothing like that at all. You should no boundary,
have respect for people's boundary and he has none whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
But he's money.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
So the comments said, you're not being over dramatic or
being really outraged by the fact that your ex you
were so awesome breaking up with them, by the way,
sexually appointed you non coessentially for profit. He's learned and
scum scum doesn't deserve the comparison. He's a filthy human being.
I sincearnily help you press charges because that's so incredibly gross.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
Wow, that was I'm clapping to that comment period period.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
No, he that that. Yeah, he deserves to get pressed charges.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
On because at the end of the day, that's you
did that behind her back, right, You are a sick individual.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah, you need help, and I'm glarious help. I'm glad
you broke up with them.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
You know you need.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Serious help, you need a serious lesson, and that you're
going to go on is the sexual Offenders List?
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Yeah, top, goodbye, right exactly.
Speaker 2 (30:30):

memory of conclusion and that's going to bring us to

Someone gave him a mic and no adult supervision. This
is the Joe Velocity Show.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And welcome to the Joe Velossie Show. I'm Joe and
I am here with my guests this week. How about
a how you doing so?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I'm good? How you doing it?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I'm doing well? A lot of good stories here today,
So let's.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Go ahead here and let's get this started. So story
number one.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Am I the asshole for asking my brother to stop
doing magic tricks at every family event.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
So here's a story.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I twenty seventemale have a younger brother, twenty four, Mail,
who really got into magic during the pandemic. At first,
it was kind of cool. He learned card tricks, slight
of hand stuff, and even a few coin illusions. We
were all supportive, in part because he was stuck at
home and needed a hobby. Thing is he still brings
said everywhere to this day. Every dinner, every birthday, holiday cookout,
(01:04):
he pulls out a deck of cards. It's like he
needs to perform me. He gets noticeably sulky if no
one's paying attention. The breaking point was that our dad's
were retirement dinner last weekend. It was just family and
if you was the coworkers had a nice restaurant. My
dad was making a short speech when my brother pulled
out a deck of cards and tried the segue into
a quick trick the honor of the man of the hour.
(01:26):
No one asked for this. My Dad awkwardly laughed and
said maybe later, buddy, and tried to continue, but my
brother still went around the table afterwards, doing his routines
like it was expected. Later that night, I put him
aside and said, paraphrasing, maybe he just checked the vibe
before launching into a show. People came to celebrate Dad,
not for a magic show. He got defensive immediately and
(01:48):
accused me of being jealous and unsupportive, of saying I
never wanted to see him succeed. Now my parents are involved,
they said I should just let him have his moment
and that he's just passionate. But it's not one moment,
it's every single time. So am I the asshole?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
No? Absolutely not, absolutely not.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
At the end of the day, he got to learn
when to He got to really read the room, and
that's his problem. Like at the end of the day,
you know, like, and it's okay to get constructive criticism.
Sometimes you know it's not. It wasn't her like being jealous.
It wasn't her being mean, It wasn't her being vindictive,
none of that. It was just her just trying to
be like, look just read the room. Sometimes this was
(02:33):
about dad, This wasn't about you.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Right exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I can imagine him at a funeral, you know, it's
like dearly departed.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Hey, guess a card? Which card is? You know?
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Everybody crying and he up her pulling out a decad cord,
go sit down.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Same ways.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I think the comments agreed with you and me or yeah,
so they said succeed, like what he thinks this is
his career.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
I mean it could be if you're really good at it.
And there's there's a couple of people on TikTok that
does magic that is really good and it and that
trips people out, but their professionals and are really good
at what they do, you know, and it's just like, Okay,
we we get the fact that you want to practice
like all the time and get good at what you do,
(03:23):
but if you keep on doing it when it's just
not the right timing, people are going to get real
tired of it quickly, right, you.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Know, what I mean, and it's just going to.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Ruin everything about what you know, it's just going to
ruin his dreams in a way.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
To me, you know, I think it's gonna be one
of this point that somebody is gonn eventually have had
enough with his shenanigans and be like, you know what.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Nope, exactly, somebody gonna slap on something someday.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Exactly, you know. And their commentary said, Nope, this is
more about your brother's ego and getting attention when the
focus was supposed to be on his dad. Your dad's
celebration was about launching his career as a magician. And
they went on to say, I have secondhand embarrassment for him.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Yeah, because it's just like he's just it's just too much,
you know, yeah, too focused on himself when sometimes he
got to learn to like put hisself to this ad
and focused on was in front of him, and that's
what that was his father.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
However, somebody else came up with a really good idea
in the comments soggesse he volunteer at elder homes, Yes,
and then the person and then somebody else responded to this.
Then he literally has a captive audience that cannot escape
if the wheelchair looks her on, or he could do
(04:44):
a couple of kids shows before hanging up as Robert
producing top Hat and keep. Kids are absolutely brutal. They
would take him down a peg or two and tell
him what he's what they think of his act.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Yeah, but at the same time, kids or kids are
easily entertained too, you know, don't forget I used to
work with kids for years. Well, kids, kids can easily
get entertained.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Well. I used to work at the.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Boys and Girls Club, I want, the Boys and Girls
Club for about almost five years, and then I worked
I worked at a daycare for a couple of years
while I was working.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
At the Boys and Girls Club.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
And I mean, don't get me wrong, I've helped out
with my nieces and nephews and things like that as
they grew up and stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
But when you work in a daycare, you know, like
you deal with.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Infants, toddlers, pre k so each is different, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Like when you're dealing with toddlers, you know, you're.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Dealing with them still trying to learn how to walk
somewhat and them still trying to learn how to speak things.
Oh yeah, well this is that's infants, you know, infence.
You got to learn how to call them and know
when it's a good time to feed them, and.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Okay, cry a lots.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Oh lord, you know and three k they're they're at
a point where you know they're speaking well, they're they're
absorbing everything, like they're learning everything, and they don't miss
a beat, you know.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
So they're very observant. Yes, yes, right.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Another person said, I dig how letting him have his
moment was only a thing when you said something, your
indad was like not now, son Grinnam was talking right right,
and like that one said, there, I let this go through.
It sounds like your brother is ruining for himself. And
continue to blunder around, obliviously, annoying the glade eyes and
the vague mutterings about needing a rushroom or leaving early. Hey,
(06:42):
n kay, pick a card. I think I left the
oven on, but you're visiting from out of town. I'm
so positive I did, But ain't ca you're saying at
the Hilton Sweets they don't even have ovens. Oh my god,
I think it smells something burning from here.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Because she flees.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That was a good one, right, it's like, just give
me an excuse to get out of here.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Nig jig just.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Man, no man.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Anyways, we're gonna go ahead here we move on to
the second story. Right, Am I the asshole for refusing
to hear that my friends no phones dinner after what
happened last time. No, my friend hosts these no phones
dinner once a month. That's her thing. Everyone drops her
phone in the basket and just vibes. I respect it,
(07:33):
even if I find out a bit much. I had
gone to a few and it was fine. The problem
is last time I went, my sister had an emergency
and couldn't reach me for hours. She was dealing with
a situation involving her mom, who was taken to the hospital.
She had no one else to call. I didn't see
any of it until dinner was over three hours later.
I left feeling like crap. Now, this month, my friend
(07:55):
invited me again. I said I come, but I was
keeping my phone on me in case something happened. She
got weirdly defensive, saying it defeated the purpose and that
everyone needed to be fully present or not come at all.
So I said, okay, I won't come. Now she's mad
calling me inflexible, saying it's just one night and I'm
being dramatic. But I'm not putting myself in that situation again,
(08:17):
am I the answer for skipping it over this?
Speaker 5 (08:21):
That's I'm kind of in the middle with that because
I get the point that she wants. I get the
point that she doesn't want no funds. So that's the
one of the party, you know what I mean. But
at the same time, it's like, can you at least
like let people have a like a watch one or something,
you know, because nowadays we have these watches and things
(08:42):
like that. Can we at least have that just in
case of emergency, People have kids, people have fabilities.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
That is a good point, Yeah, because I realized there
could be something else you could be worrying that you
could stiok at those notifications, right, but not be attached
to your family, which I think is what she's trying
to avoid the.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Right right, like or at least let some people have
a wringer on, like an emergency ringer or something so
where like, okay, they can go check U see who
it is and if it ain't, if it ain't important,
they can just let it go, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Put your phone on do not disturb, right, Yeah, so
that way is so important people can get through, right,
because there's settings that you can use to override it
for certain people that they call multiple times.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
But in a way I can understand her not going
because it's just like you're not trying to be understandable
in what I'm trying to tell you, right, And I
understand that's the point of the party. But what if
something happens again? Yeah, you know, so I can understand that,
but I'm in the middle with this. I'm not gonna.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Apparently a lot of people were also in the middle
with this there too, so you're not that far off.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
And I agree there too.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
One of the comments said, not the asshole all, but
everyone putting their phones on do not disturb, for example,
the numbers of listener permergencies will be able to get through.
Somebody else said, this ship always buggs me. Folks, not
children that need to be managed. You should simply see
the purpose is to be fully present. Please don't use
your phone. You should all be adulted not to leave
it in your pocket. And then when someone keeps calling you,
(10:10):
you say, excuse me, let me make sure this is
an emergency and look, you know, like a grown adult.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Some member commenters are kind of like, this is not
necessarily a bad idea, because one of them said, no,
I spent a weekend with someone who was basically on
our phone the whole entire time, couldn't even listen. It's
a trip I would like to avoid repeating. And the
last commenter said, I'm dating someone like this and it's frustrating.
We were in a really cool place watching a sunset.
(10:40):
I was trying to work up the courage to tell
him I love him for the first time, but he
kept focusing on his phone. Then he insisted I looked
through his Snapchat memories or whatever else with him, and
a picture of him coloring with his ex popped up.
So it really killed the vibe even more. I haven't
even said it. He actually seems to think it's suspicious
that I put my phone down when he starts talking
(11:01):
to me, So it's kind of like, you know, she's
being courteous and everything there and not being on our
phone constantly there and he's not getting the hint.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Now, that's the asshole. That's the asshole.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
But I think we all know people like that though,
they're like literally, you know, that's all they can.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Do, you know, is sit there and be on their
phone the whole entire time and not be present in
the whole entire moment.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Also to what also.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Reminds me of this as well, is that like a concerts,
for example, people will always be literally sitting there recording everything.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
That's annoying to me that like, you're not actually enjoying
a concert.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Yeah, you know, I'm.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Taking a few pictures here and there, that's fine, But
if you're sitting there recording the whole entire damn thing
to put it up on snapchat later for you know,
people like me the watch and watch you you know,
joke your phone and watch. You know, you sit in
the you know, peanut Heaven, which is like the last
rows in the stadium.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
You're so high up. It's like, you know, the actual
artist is like a.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Small little blood, right, It's like, what's the purpose of that,
And it's the.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Point you're just there to videotape. You're not even near
to enjoy the concert.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Right, live in the moment, you know, right, don't be like,
you know, I need to record this prosserity because I'll
be honest. I mean I recorded the New Kids in
the Block concert I went to when I was down
in Atlanta last year, and do I watch it at all?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
No? No, you don't go back and watch these things. Yeah,
you just.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Literally uploaded onto Facebook or TikTok whatever you're on and
that's about it. And then it's like, Okay, I get this.
You want to keep memories, but you can't keep that
memory in your head, Like seriously, you can't keep that
memory your head and just sit there and enjoy the
concert exactly.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
You know, but look, this is me, this is me here.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
I do there's times I do be on my phone. Yeah,
I will say that. But at the same time, it's
like when somebody sit up there and tell me, hey,
like I'm trying to talk to you and tell you something,
have some respect, like oh, I'm so sorry, and put
the phone down and let it be. Learn to like
have some respect for other people when they feel some
kind of way about you being on the phone and
(13:13):
they're trying to tell you something, you know, have have
some compassion. That's the that's the problem with this generation.
People lack that nowadays.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Right you know? Uh man man, Yeah, some people will
never learn and you know.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Never nothing.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
We're we're the old boomers.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah right, I'm in my thirties now I'm a ninety baby, so.

so believe or not.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
Welcome back to the ji Velosi Show. You're dancing a
long going out.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
We're gonna go ahead here and get into the third
story here and by the assholef I asked my wife
to stop doing this weird role play. So recently my
laptop broke and why I was waiting for it to
be fixed, I needed to use my wife's laptop. This
had never been a problem before. At this time, however,
I noticed that she was logged into Facebook, which is
strange in itself because she claimed she didn't have an
(15:47):
account there, but under a different male name and surtinname.
I admit and intrigued me and I looked there. I
had no idea what the profile belongs to, but basically
the entire profile was dedicated to the volleyball. The man
was a former player, had to retire from the game
after an injury, but still shared information about it. He
also came from a small town, which when I googled
(16:07):
it is actually a small village in Germany. He also
had a wife and two children, who profiles I also found,
which ultimately let me down the rabbit hole. All these
people came from the same place. Some had real photos,
sometimes disturbingly came to looking ones. Others had animey profiles,
others had gaming profiles, and so on. Each profile had
a theme. Some shared links to Reddit, Twitter, etc. Some
(16:30):
were still active. The man whose profile I was using
belonged to a group that included other strange accounts. One
of these groups that popped up most often was for
conspiracy theorists. I also saw his messages and they looked
like those of a real person. Then went on for months,
sometimes with photos and so on. I didn't understand why
I was looking at My wife is still at the store,
(16:52):
so I closed faithbook.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Went to a laptop. I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I found a tent of folders label with names, photos,
a timeline, and future plans for this character. Even things
like changing Jews, change profile, picture, marriage TikTok controversy were included.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
When my wife.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Came back, I asked her about it right away. I
didn't have a theory about it. I was just confused.
It all seems so real. My wife brushed me off,
not seemed bothered by it at all. She said it
was her role play for fun. But since then I
can't stop thinking about it. There were over one hundred
of these folders, over one hundred characters who interact with
each other, even though they were all my wife. This
(17:33):
really strikes me. It's strange, and from now on, every
time I look at my wife, I just think about it.
I want to ask her to stop doing this, but
I don't know if I'm allowed to. I mean, technically,
she doesn't do anything super bad, and I don't think
she interacts with real people.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
But still it's disturbing for me.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Wow we Ooh, so she's not cheating technically, you know,
so we know that much.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
She's not sitting up there talking.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Yeah, And I don't think she's looking for anything sexual.
I just think that it's just something fun for her
to do. Is she a housewife or does work or
I wish we knew a little more details far as that.
But at the same time, this is like a little
hobby she has, and it's like, let.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Her have it.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I think the commenters actually kind of maybe fill the
missing blanks here. Let me read some of those here
and we see what you think.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Here.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
One of them said, technically she doesn't have Facebook. She
controls accounts, but none are her very thin reascenting. But
if someone searches for her, she is not there, so
not exactly a lie seg one goes on and this
is probably the one that will clear it up even
more for you. Really, I'm an author. What she is
doing is an elaborate way of doing what we do
character creation. When I write, I need characters, so I
(18:51):
create them histories, locations, schools, hobby, all of it. I
need characters with backgrounds. Their backgrounds determine how they react
in situations. Without that, you get what are called shallot characters. Well,
I never really use Facebook for this. It sounds like
a good idea, depending on the storyline. And then somebody
responded to that and said, I was going to say
exactly this. I'm also an author, and I even seem
(19:11):
to be suggested to create and menasuring social media to
help flush at characters. I never took that literally, as
in creating actual accounts, but it's honestly a really simple
way to maintain character details.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
And continuity and.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Then get into the headspace of the character when it's
time to write them. I don't know, creative people have
outlets and don't see this as being harmful unless she's
using using it to scam people or have affairs or
something equally nefarious and you're asking about them, and like
he has her feeling built embarrassed that you came across
our social media characters studies, fan fiction, but also upset
(19:42):
that you invaded a privacy. I think you need to
come to your wife with a much more open mind.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Absolutely, That's that's the comment I like right there, because
he's so this is a different.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Comment from an art from a you know.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
From somebody else who was responding to Reddit post right exactly.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
It's like, she's to me, maybe, you know, maybe you
should look into your wife doing something like that, actually
being an Arthur like actually given Arthur's ideas, you know
what I.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Mean, Like, yeah, is she writing something?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
There?
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Is she you know, what is she doing with us?
Exactly there and.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Exactly But it's to me, it's her hobby. And to
me it just seems like he just looked he was
just looking for something to bother him, you know, what
I mean, like, that's what it looked like to me, because.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I also think he was also very confused by this here,
so you just needed some clarification. But I don't think
she helped her.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, she definitely didn't help this at all.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
She kind of left him like clueless onto what the
hell she's really doing.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Right, But at the end of the day, it's something
she likes to do. She's not doing nothing illegal.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
She's not out her having sex, she's not out her
former people upper enjoying. She's upper having a little hobby
that she enjoys. I say, let her have it.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah, the comments get more interesting, actually, next one goes
on to say they have fake social media generators that exist.
Fan fic authors use them all the time to make
social media epsol Larry Fix. There's zero reason to create
the real accounts to do this. That's why it's weird
and shady. So this commenter doesn't really agree with us here,
and they went on the edit it to make it
(21:20):
very clear.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Do not mean chat, GPT or genitive AI.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I mean websites you can use to create fake social
media posts using the text you input into the generator
that formats them look like whatever website you want, coding
and assets. They've been available for well over a decade
and they're not generitive AI. And then the last person goes,
I am literally an author, it is my job. I've
traditionally published two books. I would dead ask never use
(21:44):
any type of AI ridiculous generators that create any part
of my stories. Some people do, and ya for them.
Most of us don't. In fact, most writers are horrified
that people will even suggest such a thing. So, I mean,
the responses to the sire scene very mixed. Her It's
kind of like, I think I agree with you, though,
it's kind of like, you know, she's not causing any
(22:05):
harm to him, so you know, it's just kind of
like I think, if anything, you know that one coming
was like you need to come with this morn up
in mind. It's kind of like, I think that's really
what he needs to do. He needs to go to
her and be like, hey, you know, why why are
you doing this here? I'm just kind of curious. I
don't care. You know, it's and I think it's you
know that you're creating this backstory, but what's the purpose
(22:25):
of this here? Because I think it's really one of
those cases there where we don't know what she's doing
with it.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Right, and it's just telling her, it's just thinking that
she needs to stop doing it and telling her that
she needs to stop doing it. That's the point that
I don't that I don't like. I think that's to me,
that's that's just.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Not cool to me. I don't like that.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Now, have a have an actual sit down discussion about it.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
With her, and she should actually.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Do, you know, let him know what she's doing and
what's the purpose of it, you know what I mean,
Just to get an understanding because at the end of
the day, that is your other half, Like, come on now.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
You know.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
So anyways, we're gonna go ahead and move on to
the last story, which is our moment of conclusion.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
So you thought these stories were wild?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Just wait, I just found out my fiance has been
selling my panties behind my back. This goes on for
a while, So sit down and settle in, because we're
in for a ride here. We've been engaged for four
(23:38):
months and dating for two years. We've decided to move
in together about after three months, and everything has been
going wonderfully throughout the last three months. I've noticed my
underword going missing every now and then. I thought nothing
of it because I probably had like fifty pairs, and
I usually keep a pair of two in different bags
persons in case of monthly accidents. So sometimes we'd be
looking for the red lace song but can't find it,
(24:00):
and so I assume it's in a purse or bag
or that was my reasoning. This morning, I was looking
for the matching panties to a brawl that I was wearing.
I looked all over and could not find them. Asked
my fiance to check the dryer in case they were
in there. He chuckled and said he had sold them.
Oh God. I assumed he was kidding and laughed and
asked him look for me again. Then goes, babe, I'm serious.
(24:26):
I could not believe what I was hearing. I was
beyond upset and hurt. I pressed them for details, and
he said he's been selling my warn panties to ring
them people from Craigslist. I packed a bag and went
to my sister's house for the night. I feel sick
to my stomach about this. We aren't even broker's trap
for cash. His reasoning was that he wanted to make
extra minds, get me a nice wedding band. I need
(24:49):
advice about this? What should I do? I'm at a
loss right now?
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Come on?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
So, yeah, so you don't think he's the asshole that order.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Oh, he definitely is.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
He definitely is with a simple fact that like, I mean,
I respect the fact that he was honest about it. Yeah,
But at the same time, it's the way, like the
timing of it.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
It was just like he could he should have.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
He should have asked her for that, right, he should
have asked her to do that, but I guess he
wanted to be a surprise.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Yeah. But at the same time, it's like, come on, now,
that's that's that's falls.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Under sexual You know, the commenters agree with you there,
like why did you even think to ask your opinion
before this here? Oh, that's right, because it's fucking creepy. Yes,
and new across the line with you. Don't let him
try to justify his actions. They'd be putting aside the
grissness of this. He's still stealing your belongings and sell
them without your permission, let alone those belongings with your
bodily fluid on them.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yes, yeah, he was he was dead wrong for that.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
And then another person would I know you have a
long history with him, but if he's kept something like this,
see but absolutely no hint of remorse when confronted, and
just everything about this says to me he's just a weirder.
He doesn't respect boundaries and has no problem keeping awful
secrets from you. I don't think I'll be able to
trust someone who'd done that break up break up with
them entirely. Uh yeah, it's just kind of like this
(26:18):
behavior is just kind of like, you know, I'm going
to sell them, and you know, I mean it's like
he wasn't even like, you know, trying to hide the fact.
He's just like, no, I saw them on craigslist, you know.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Like I said, I respect the fact that he was
honest about it, he told her about it, but this
was very creepish, Like this was creepy as hell, you know,
and just for him to do that behind her back, right,
it's betrayal.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Well, guess what it gets worse. There's an update, So
the poster says, first and foremost, thanks to everyone's thoughts, will, advice,
and feedback. I went back to my place with my
sister was at work. I packed up majority of my
things and brought him to my sister's place. Once he
got off work, I phoned them. I felt this was
the easiest method of communication and told them exactly what
(27:07):
he had done. Here are the main key points. He's
been selling my used pennies for the last three months.
In addition to this, he has also posted semi nudes
sexually suggested pictures of myself that I sent him. He
had sold the underwear that I had on in the pictures.
He sitting only posted the pictures to the buyer to
prove them that was really me.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
He said.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
He told buyers that one hundred percent consenting he printed
to be me and the emails, and when he met
up in person to sell them, he would tell men
that I was too afraid that coming on my own
and asked him to go deliver them. He sold about
twenty pairs of underwear. I have a lot of underwear
and frequently purdused new pairs. This is why I didn't
(27:53):
really know such a huge amount going missing, especially since
I usually keep a few pairs in gym bags, et cetera.
He admitted to have nine hundred dollars through this. He's
said he sells them for about forty dollars a pair,
give or take. He initially told me he wanted a
bit of extra cash in order to customize my wedding band.
When I pressed him on, he admitted he got a
bit of a thrill by saw I can and he said,
(28:13):
knowing other men found me it's sexually attractive, got aroused
by my underwear. He apologized profusely and tried to compare
it to selling my used designer shoes or purse. I
completely disagree with this because there is a sexual motivation
for these things. I feel sexually exploited and taken advantage of.
I decided to break off the engagement and I'm done
(28:34):
with this relationship. This entire incident took me by surprise,
and I never suspected that he would do something like this.
I will hopefully break the news to my family this
weekend with the support of my sister. He's still trying
to convince me to go to a couple's therapy with them,
wants to savage our relationship, but I'm honestly done with
them at this point.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Yeah, that's done, done, That's that's out the door.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
I even take that shit back with thee that at all.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
He can kiss my ass.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
He has agreed he wants to go a couple's therapy.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
It's like, for what you and your shitty out a
couple's therapy.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
No, you need therapy.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Yeah, so that next relationship you get into, because you're
not going to be with me for one at all.
So the next relationship you get into, you just don't
do nothing like that at all. You should no boundary,
have respect for people's boundary and he has none whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
But he's money.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
So the comments said, you're not being over dramatic or
being really outraged by the fact that your ex you
were so awesome breaking up with them, by the way,
sexually appointed you non coessentially for profit. He's learned and
scum scum doesn't deserve the comparison. He's a filthy human being.
I sincearnily help you press charges because that's so incredibly gross.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
Wow, that was I'm clapping to that comment period period.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
No, he that that. Yeah, he deserves to get pressed charges.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
On because at the end of the day, that's you
did that behind her back, right, You are a sick individual.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah, you need help, and I'm glarious help. I'm glad
you broke up with them.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
You know you need.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Serious help, you need a serious lesson, and that you're
going to go on is the sexual Offenders List?
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Yeah, top, goodbye, right exactly.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Well with that said that, yeah, that was quite the
memory of conclusion and that's going to bring us to
the end of this show here. So thank sure checking
