Speaker 1 (00:00):
I don't want my kids to have a relationship with
my mother in law because she says horrible.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Things to me. Jail, Jail.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Let's rewind all the way back to March eight, twenty
twenty three, the day I, twenty five female, married a
complete stranger, oh, my husband, only seven days after being
with each other, thirty four male.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
We weren't like total strangers.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
He dated an old friend of mine and she split
up with him prior to us. That in itself is
a long story with some piping tea that I'll get
to next time if wanted. But this comes from anonymous lionfish,
And if you want to submit your story, go to
our sush Okay storytime send it in there. So anyways,
I was also in a relationship that had ended, and

(00:41):
we found each other. We didn't know a dang thing
about it in one another. He didn't know if I
was a serial un alive or and vice versa. All
I knew was he was single and a widow dad.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
And you married him after seven days?

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yep, what's the risk? What's the risk?

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Right right?

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Some people do the craziest things after let's say, family
cruise on Saturdays. So you know seven days getting married
crazier has happened, right, Yeah, doing it all on his
own since his wife passed away. This dad has with that.
We got married in a courthouse in Tennessee. We literally eloped.
We didn't tell anybody, We didn't even bring up the
idea prior. It just happened on a spur of the moment.

(01:19):
After we said or I do is, the pastor who
married us asked us if if.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
He could take a picture.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
We were just so happy and over the moon. We
were like sure, not really thinking at the time that
he'd possibly post it to social media, which is exactly
what happened.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Wait, just like a random pastor was like, hey can
I can I do a butcher of you guys? So,
how many followers does this pastor have?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Six hundred and eighty six? So so called back to last.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Time, he's got some crazy family drama.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Just to quickly summarize where we're at.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, OPI like kind of tangentially knew this guy right
after seven days after they met each other. They're just like, fitt,
let's get freaking married. And then the pastor you married
them at the courthouse? Mind you? Like literally just like
the most low key thing ever, took a picture and
now is posted it on the internet. I think here
is where people find out cue the crazy mother in law.

(02:14):
We will now call Patsy late fifties pushing sixties female.
I mean, hey, that's not great true, So it's a different,
it's different, it's.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Different, totally different, Patsy.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
She saw the post on Facebook and immediately started blowing
him up, screaming at him, disrespecting him, calling him every
name under the sun, calling me every name under the sun,
all because she was upset that he, a grown butt man,
didn't ask her a permission to even get married again
in the first place.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
A yay yai. Oh I'm blake, Mom.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
I'm like, I'm like a grown man and I'm like
in my thirties with the kids, but like, can I
get married?

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Please get married this week?

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Ah?

Speaker 3 (02:53):
No, song, it was okay that I got married. If
your mom says it's okay.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Oh you can't get married, song, no, I'm not gonna
let you all now. Granted, I definitely understand the fear,
as my family had the same fear. The ex before
me said some pretty nasty lies about him how he
treated her because she was cheating on him the whole
time with her baby daddy, as well as entertaining men
on some spicy adult websites, doing cam work and whatnot,

(03:23):
sleeping with her baby daddy only to come home to
my now husband, climb in bed with him, and then
sleep with him.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
It was messy. She was messy, and when he.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Finally caught her, he had absolutely no trust, but was
still trying to work on it because she had a
two year old daughter that he was absolutely over the
moon for and had gotten very attached to, considering he
and his nine year old daughter were the primary ones raising.
She wasn't even raising this freaking kid. Too busy on
these spicy websites. Mom liked to go party, go out

(03:56):
all the time, and she was literally never there with that.
And how she treated my husband's daughter, especially verbally, caused
our friendship to deteriorate because I could not stomach what
she was doing.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Sorry not sorry.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
I was probably definitely the ahle there and I'll take it.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Doesn't it be the ale for that.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
If your friend is cheating and like coming home and
being a bad you know, not not taking care of
the family and kids, and.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Just I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I don't think so. I think it's okay. I mean
you can.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Honestly, you cannot be friends with someone even if you
just for whatever reason.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, you just don't got the vibes. Man, It's cool.
It's cool. Anyways.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
With all that, she painted a pretty awful picture of
my husband in everyone's heads until everything came out and
everyone understood why he had her deleted on certain socials,
not to be around certain people, et cetera, et cetera,
because of ground rules they laid out after her cheating
and being caught. With all that drama and all the

(04:53):
awful things that was said about him, my family never
once freaked out on him or me, dogged, or disrespected
us in any way. Yes, they voiced their concerns. They
all expressed how they wished I would have waited or
at least actually planned a wedding because my mom especially
always dreamed of doing my wedding. They welcomed him in

(05:14):
with their own reservations, and after getting to know him
and see firsthand as not only a husband but also
a dad, a dad hot, they fell in love with
him just like I did.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Aw this guy has really good first impressions.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
The king of first depressions. I'm impressed, Like married seven
days later? That is like a, I mean they say
love they say love it first sight, you know what
I mean? And like, dude, just freaking he said love
it first? How about married first? How about children at
first sight? How about grandchildren at first sight? And so
that was the end of the story, Sophia, what's it's over?

(05:54):
What are your thoughts on everything that crazy messages with me?

Speaker 3 (05:58):
WHOA, I guess, I guess you're good. You got a husband,
your family seems to like him. Your mother in law
is kind of a piece of work, but you know
whose isn't. I'm sure there are a lot of lovely
mother in law.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
I don't know. I don't know, Like with the mother
in law track record, do you think it may have
influenced the husband in any way because he seems really
good at first impressions but lasting impressions.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You don't know anybody until like.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Two years in three months minimum.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Well, three months is when you like get past the
first phase of knowing someone, and then two years is
when you get.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Like, dude too, you don't even know me, man, I
have no idea who you are? Are you are?

Speaker 1 (06:42):
You know?

Speaker 4 (06:43):
Man?

Speaker 3 (06:44):
So we don't know if we really know you know.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Well, it's funny that you mentioned the mother in law. Huh,
because the story is not over. I've lied to you.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
I don't forgive you. I don't even know you.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
I don't know you. I don't know you, viewer.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
We've only we've been here three and a half years,
so you know me at this point. You know more
about me than I know about myself.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Anyways, Patsy though mother in law, though, she had a
come apart what I read that as it was written,
interpreted how you will. Immediately she went into saying things
like I'm a homewrecker, which they were split up prior
to us being together in our friendship, which was also

(07:27):
pretty much over at that point. And remember even if
it was the woman was cheating on him.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, and did you reg Yeah, he was already in ruin.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Oh my god, I am a salute in all those
kinds of things, that I was just using him, that
I was the one for him, blah blah blah. Then
Patsy's girlfriend comes in, Oh lord you we'll call her
Patricia thirty seven female, which is dangerously close to her
son's age.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Patsy, is this her girlfriend or her girlfriend?

Speaker 2 (08:00):
I think girlfriend? Which moment? Don't? We don't know you
it's not her girlfriends her girlfriend?

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yes, we don't think. I don't think it's romantic, but
maybe we could be wrong and we'll see.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Oh wait, wait, wait, wait wait.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Patsy and Patricia both started to immediately threaten him about
custody over our daughter. If two people are threatening about custody,
that to me says they are in a relationship, romantic partnership. Okay,
we will called her Clover then nine years old going
on ten females, So Clover is a daughter. Which turns

(08:36):
out that ever since his wife passed away in the accident,
they had been threatening him, saying things like his daughter
doesn't need to be in a one parent home raised
by a man, that she needs to be raised by women,
and all kinds of crazy things that you definitely don't
say to a grieving father. Oh my god, conspiracy theory.

(08:57):
They are going to take the daughter.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
I think they're gonna try it.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
They're gonna flee, They're gonna try to freaking flee.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
That's also, once again crazy that they're saying she's homewrecking
when this person not only like they cheated, like she's gone.
Did I misread that?

Speaker 2 (09:16):
I think mishearrett.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
I think it was so there was Uh so we're
if we're if we're following Opie's husband, right, So husband's
first wife.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Passed away, Oh, second wife cheated, second.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Wife cheated, then here we are at op I bet three.
I bet it was like it was like three years
to marriage, one year or like six months to marriage
and in seven days.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Okay, so you know what, third times the charm.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Third times, it's freaking charm. Might as well just run it.
So this lady started calling around the family asking if
she took us to court, if they'd speak on her
and Patricia's case, and every single one of them ah
laughed and said no and immediately called us and explain
what was going on.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Thank god, at least a families.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yeah, they're on your side.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Contact got cut. She snipped that following me, my family
and I took a vacation to Orlando, Florida. Our daughter's
birthday is in June, so I thought it would be
nice to take her with me. My husband wasn't able
to come as he had work and wasn't able to
get off, so instead he led me to take her
down there with us for four nights and five days.
Clover had a ball. We went to water parks, we

(10:24):
went to arcades. We did everything you could do in
Orlando save going to Universal Studios. The whole time we
were there, Patsy and Patricia were blowing up my husband's
phone saying how could he let me take her down
there and get pulled out of stool?

Speaker 3 (10:41):
The fun police Really.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Freaking screw you, Patsy and Patricia, not Riley's mom. Thank you,
You're welcome. I had to clarify respectfully. So Clover had
only missed maybe three days that whole year with UH
and the school arrived and the school approved the trip.
She even did school work while she was dying.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
The school approved the trip, And what's the what's the
hold up? What's the problem?

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Because how dare you? Because you didn't listen to me, to.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Me all the power.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
She's being raised by a man, and a man cannot
have raised a daughter.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Doesn't work like good, Yeah, it's not gonna work. Okay,
where are we talking, y'all? Y'all are really leaning into
traditional gender roles, it's a little strange.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Come on, hey, and how they were so scared something
would happen, and how they were having dreams that Clover
could not got lost underwater on my watch, just doing
and saying the most honestly. We get back that night
and I find out I'm pregnant with my first child.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
How long has it been?

Speaker 2 (11:43):
This is week two?

Speaker 3 (11:45):
For real?

Speaker 1 (11:46):
No, I'm like, oh my god, I don't know. We
don't know how far into the relationship we are this
is now, but this is insane right speed running dude.
After a while and everything simmered down, I suggested that
my husband reach out to Patsy, especially since it was
bothering him so much, so he did. Things were cool
the first few weeks, that is, until Clover went to

(12:08):
spend the night, and like always, a big fight happened
between Patsy and Patricia to the point where they all
blamed their issues that was happening in the relationship on Clover.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Oh wow, well okay, so now they're switching it up.
Now they're like, it's actually not a Pece fault, it's
Clover's fault.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
The ten year old what yep, Poor Clover broke down
and just cried as they continued to get onto her
fight in front of her and then blame her Jill
and then openly admitted they told Clover it was her
fault and.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
I have receipts. Yeah, we need to get like a
restraining order of cuckoo for cocoa Buffsuly.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
I have a whole freaking folder with a little over
fifty screenshots, voice recordings, and Facebook posts, all compiled.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Until the right time.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
I feel so once again, contact was briefly cut because no,
ain't nobody gonna treat our kids like that.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
I'd be dang.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
A little while later, it's our daughter's tenth birthday, against
my gut, I caved and said.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
That they could come to the party.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
They've already yelled at poor Clover.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
But you know what, they're gonna completely have a life
changing thing, you know, epiphany, and they're gonna say, oh wow,
you know, we were being so crazy and oh my gosh,
how could we ever have done that? And like we
need to make sure we give space and respect boundaries
and like really, you know, communicate with OPI and the
dot I can see it. What do you think this is?
What do you guys think is going on here, not

(13:46):
that I went out of my way to make sure
that this was a good party for Clover. I bought
a brand new swimming pool for her and all of
her friends and family. We grilled, played water games, eight cake.
She had an absolute blast and guy all the things
she wanted and asked for. W Mom alert. Our sweet
girl was so happy. The entire time. However, Patsy and

(14:08):
Patricia was going around to not only their family but
also my family, talking about how his deceased wife would
have done this better, and was just nitpicking every little
detail about the party until my mom and my husband's
dad actually stepped up and said something about it. Finally,
kick them out, Kick them out, kick them out.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
They should not be here, dude, Can we call the
cops for like trespassing?

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Like yeah, you're say like leave or we're calling the cops.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
You're not alloud, You're you're not freaking loud. Okay.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
All of this happened while I was inside prepping the
food for everyone.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Very typical of him.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
As you'll see, I didn't really find out about the
party incident until a few days later when my mom
told me about it. Everyone at this point knew I
was pregnant, and they didn't want to stress me out
considering the amount of garbage I was already dealing with
from Patsy and Patricia. Anyways, we go to Walmart where
Patsy works, and we're dropping off Clover. I really didn't
want to, but I'm still desperately trying to keep the

(15:06):
piece and just make this word.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Don't use Clover as a means of keeping the peace.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
That is such a good point.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
She's not your peace offer, she's not your olive brand.
She's a kid who's been bullied by these people.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
You can say, hey, yeah, uh, I'd love.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
To talk to you, guys, talk to you.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
You know, yeah, like we can stay in contact about this,
but yeah, Clover doesn't need to No. Also, cute name,
Clover Clok Clove, It's cute. As soon as we get there,
his mom is asking for us to give her money
because she wants to take Clover Clover to Gatlinburg and
go to the Science Museum.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Dude, okay, okay, this I know exactly where this person
is near and this checks out. Yeah, oh yeah, dude,
Gatlinburg is like in the South. Huh what is that Gatlinburg?
I thought you were correct to me, because I'm like,
I know what it is. No, Gatlinburg, Tennessee is like
Pigeon Forde is a very touristy town in the mountains
of Tennessee, forty minutes to where I used to live

(16:08):
in Tennessee, and everyone and their redneck family cousins go there.
It's a great place. But I mean, like I grew
grew up going to Gatlinburg for like vacations and stuff.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Did you go to the science museum Ripley Science Museum? No?

Speaker 2 (16:22):
I didn't. Oh, but you know it. I know exactly
what they're talking about.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Whoa so Riley has has I've walked past it.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Actually, Uh in December last December, like a month ago.
I was in Gatlinburg. Is this real December? No? No, really
what tage graduation was in Gatlinburg and we stayed there
in Gatlinburg. I didn't go to North Carolina. I went
back to North Carolina for a days so'd get a
flight back. No, No, dude, Gatlinburg is a real thing.
Oh my okay, we got in this story. Oh my god.

(16:51):
Oh no, this dude. You're so right.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Guys, guys, we know that Riley. We're gonna have to
get back to the story. Riley doesn't get to do this.
Riley doesn't get to this because he was a failthy liar.
I'm not saying no, no, no, Rather, I'm not saying you're
lying that Gatlinburg is the city.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
I'm saying that you planted this in the story.

Speaker 5 (17:11):
So now, because you're like, oh I bet I Compulley twice,
there's nothing to fool here. This is this patsy and
it's talking about Gatlinburg Science Museum, to which you have
been in front of.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Suspicious, we cannot we can trust again.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
I'm just saying I'd be a little bit more clever
than this.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
So you gotta get creative now, right Because ron so
Opie continues on this was like right after her party,
and our funds were low on top of bills about
to come out, so we did truly didn't have money
to give.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Kimberly fund. Who the f goes to
Gatlinburg for science though? That? Yeah, No, We're good for
the theaters, the food, the barbecue, not for the science.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Hey, you need to learn you already you already went
on a trip to Orlando and you freaking skipped school.
Like you're like a freaking 'aird. Well, you're gonna end
up like homeless.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
On the street.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
It's because you skipped three days of school to go
to freakin' oh Clover, no, I'm well, you don't know
who I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
But don't don't.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
So Clover comes home that Sunday. They went to the
Science Museum and they drop her off and they start
blowing up his phone up once again, going in on me,
talking about how I'm controlling him and how I won't
let him do X and Y or Z, how his
previous wife would never do that. Oh you mean the
one that was cheating on him and then skating with

(18:31):
him back to back with the fair partner cheater.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Hey, yay.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
That's when the harassment starts taking a turn for the worst.
You thought it wasn't bad, Well wait, you see this
once again.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
It's all documented.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
They start telling him that the best thing that could
happen is if I passed away and lost the baby.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
And this is when we cut these people off forever.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Guys, we need to.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
This is when we cut these people off forever.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
This needs to be gone on no hesitation, literally zero seconds.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
And this is when you find out what type of
person your husband actually is. Is he going to support
you in cutting off his insane mother?

Speaker 2 (19:13):
You only want way to find out?

Speaker 1 (19:14):
That way he would have an out for our marriage.
A man who already lost his wife to a tragic
car accident, But you're gonna tell him that his current
wife and.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Baby should pass away.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Then it went to them wishing that upon our unborn son.
Then it went from them wishing that to say as
soon as I had the baby, they were gonna take
the kids out from under us, and that I'd never
see them again because for some reason, I'm this evil
woman email who is unfit to be a parent.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
We cut all contact again. Make it permanent.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Good, Literally, never let these people see you your child, Clover, nobody.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
We can't do it.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
We absolutely cannot allow this to happen. No, no, no, no no.
Months went by and I just got into my third trimester.
We're on the home stretch.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
Baby. Things have been rather quiet and calm.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Once again, they wiggled their way into my husband's heart
and convinced him to convince me to let them be.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
A part of all of this. What does that mean?

Speaker 1 (20:20):
I am terrif to figure out they apologized quote unquote
for everything, so against my better judgment and against the
judgment of literally everyone around me.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
I let them in again. Girl. What they certainly seriously said,
they wish you were none of this planet, and you'll
let it back in. You're back, They're back.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
I'm questioning your husband's judgment.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Maybe a little bit of maybe a little bit. I mean,
they did get married in seven days. But we got
to listen to not judge.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
I'm just saying, though, Patricia and Patsy start to develop
a really healthy obsession for me during the end of
this pregnancy and then for my baby, coddling me at
every corner.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Oh god, oh dude, I think they're gonna try and
take the baby as well.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yo.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
They already said that. They already said we want to
try and take your they get you let them back
into her life. We need critical thinking, critical thinking real quick.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
I got something I gotta pass by you, Sophie and
chat and comments. What if they're like, Okay, we're just
gonna have the baby. You know, we know they're gonna
try and like take the baby. But if we let
them take you know, let them take the baby. But
we're tracking it, like actually monitoring it and have like
the the cops on standby. Can we arrest them, get
them thrown in freaking jail.

Speaker 6 (21:41):
You want to use the baby as bait, I'm just saying,
or a fake baby, fake baby baby baby.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
We we yeah, yeahah. We put the baby, the fake
baby in a cradle and there's like a cage thing.
They go into it and we just lock it up.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
And they're so freaking like old and delusional, they don't
even know it's a fake freaking baby.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Then so we.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Cheese trap them.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Cheese trap them, ye, mouse trap, Yes, we absolutely do that.
I'm going with it all.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Right, you know what we listen, we don't judge.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
They were showering me and praise and infection once again,
just doing the most, and anytime I voiced I was
uncomfortable with them, I was met with aggression, and honestly,
after everything and being this dang pregnant, I was just
over it and wanted to try to enjoy the rest
of my first experience, considering it was ruined by them.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
No, they're going to keep ruining everything until you get
them out of your life.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Well, I go into labor on January seventeenth, around nine
pm now there's a snowstorm in Alabama.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
This is literally happening, like as we speak, ooh cute.
All the roads are iced.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
And my husband had to drive us what's typically fifteen
minutes of the hospital almost an hour to get there.
You to go five miles per hour the entire time.

Speaker 6 (22:53):
Oh, because the ice, Because the ice are probably traffic
And yeah, I'm sure.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
And then if it was like five hundred miles, that
take them one hundred hours to get through it quickness.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yeah, it was awful, but thankfully contractions hadn't really started
hitting yet.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
I was being induced due to being high risk. I
have a few medical.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Problems, heart complications being one, and my birthing experience was
actually terrifying and pretty rough.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
My gosh to break.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
And continuing with that, they come to the hospital.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
And Patricia stays in the room.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
In the room, just say I don't want her in here?

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Yeah, can we just can we tell that to like
the doctors.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yes, we could absolutely say, like, hey, I'm uncomfortable, we
have two people in here.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, let's just pop her tires. Can we just not
do that? Just can we just do that? Stop it?

Speaker 1 (23:49):
I didn't want her there, but I was too doped
up to even argue or a fight, and I'm in
freaking labor. I'm not about to fight you. Uh the food,
So yeah, gave birth, All is well, and it just
spirals from there. I get home and they're immediately trying
to get him to wash and keep He's not even

(24:10):
four days old.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Calm down.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
I let them know he wasn't going anywhere until he
was at least two to three months old. They finally
finally get him, and when they do, they bring him
back and just start talking about how they made a
nursery for him and gave him an entire bedroom over
at their house, and how they were buying all this stuff,
newborn stuff, and I was perturbed.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
I told my.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Husband he needed to talk to them net yes, yes,
that's the move, right, yes, and explain to them they
don't need to be spending all kinds of money making
a nursery and newborn room for him, considering he won't
even be going over there like that.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Let's take a quick pause.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
I'm pausing, Sophia, that's me.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
We have a crazy John. We have a crazy setup here.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
We do.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
We've tried. I don't know how these parents keep it
keep getting back in.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
What do we do? What do we do?

Speaker 3 (25:09):
We cut them off? You go no contact with these parents.
You said to your husband, Hey, I need you to
back me up because you're my partner and your parents
have actively been horrible to me. Your daughter and our
future child are now actually current child. Uh, and you
need to stand up to them because I'm not going
to be around them and stop trying to let them

(25:30):
walk all over you and subsequently walk all over me.
Put your foot down.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
I like that. I like that a lot. That's good stuff.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
That is how we give good advice.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Goofully.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Sometimes we'll just laugh for you, We'll smile for you.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Okay, Patricia, the whole time is going on and on
and on about how she wants a baby and how
she wants to adopt blah blah blah blah blah, and
how he is just so perfect. And I swear to God,
the way.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
She talked and referred to him, he wasn't mine, he
was hers.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Get her out of there, get her out of the house.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Where's the line where we can like get restraining orders
and like like police involved his staff.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
We don't have any proof now, Honestly, she hasn't necessarily
done anything.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah, but you.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
Do have enough proof to just get her out of there. Verbally,
that's true, just like you just say, hey, I don't
want you to be in my life.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Trespassing. Yo, you're on my property, get off, get out
of here. Mamma out of here, Get out of here.
Mama's and lamma's get out of here. So that made
me very uncomfortable, right, Yeah. Hubby talked with them finally,
and they did not like it.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Shocking.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
They flew up again and started making threats.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Threatening the kids, threatening me, begging my husband to divorce me,
trying to convince him that I don't love him, that
I just used him to have babies in there, I'm
going to leave him. Saying every vile thing that you
can say about a person.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
They said it while she's just like giving birth, she.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Just well now she yeah, not.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Just she's post delivery, but she just.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yeah basically yeah, yeah, yeah, it means after birth. Does
that literally mean after birth?

Speaker 2 (27:26):
Yeah? Dude, get get a dictionary. Well, well, well, the turntables.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
I have the turn tables.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
I knew that. I was just confirming it.

Speaker 6 (27:39):
I was testing you, brother, and you failed, and you
actually he passed but he failed the friendship tests. O,
that's smart.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
I should have known. Thanks Sophia. That's a good value.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
So what really put the nail in the hammer is
they made a very public Facebook no post, sorry, a
very public Facebook post making accusations that I mistreat our
daughter with holding food, forced her to stay in dirty
clothes and refuse to let her shower, et cetera, et cetera.

(28:14):
All was very clearly false, and they ended up taking
the post down after a man near every family member
mine included came down on them, Thank god, thank god.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
And I just don't understand how they can see so
many obvious signs, not even signs like these are just
like pictures, yeah, just just proof pick picture proof, also
evidence of them being awful.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
If I was someone on the social media platform and
I'm want to be extra petty, I know I'm gonna
be commenting and everyone's gonna behind me, I would screenshot
what they said, post it and then put all the
comments there too, so like they can delete it off
of their profile, but like it will not be deleted
off of app.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
That needs to be okay, actually, question and we can
kind of think about this, and I think talk about
it as the story goes on. But do we I
feel like there's two options. Option A is we kind
of fight back, you know, we fight fire with fire
because it's like, hey, they're not gonna stop, like we
need to, you know, post the receipts to get them
to finally be shamed into submission. Or do we try

(29:17):
to go the like not like, okay, let me just
not get mixed out, let me not fan the flames.
Maybe even I don't know, move or something like that,
like what path is your gut telling.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
You to go down? Right now, Sophia, I think we
just cut them off.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
I think that if you go down the route of
like firefire, you're just gonna your house is gonna burn down. Yeah,
And I think what you need to do is kick
them out, lock the door of your metaphorical house, yeah uh,
and grab a hose and start watering down that lawn.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
Via if any CPS people come knock and just be like,
heyre is the proof I took all these screenshots?

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yes, Cassanda's point in chat, like who keeps letting them in?
Opie says, we cut him off. We cut him off,
We cut him off, But they're still here. Like, I
think it's the husband.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Over and over has Opia said, oh, well they convinced
him to let or he he told me that we
should let them in.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
No, I'm sorry, and I don't want to bring it up.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
When we know someone seven days, you don't really know
them that well.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
But I don't think the husband's been that.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
He hasn't been bad, like of a person that you
married after seven days? Pretty good? Pretty good. Yeah, However,
I think he's not your partner's not being your partner right.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
Yeah, he has two mommies, so double the mommy has
double mommy issues.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
And I think also that Opie hasn't really focused on it,
which is why it didn't jump out to me immediate.
But it's absolutely he should be the one putting a
stock to this and he's like, hey, if you guys
don't get out right now, I'm calling the cops.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
Second, it is after that, after they said freaking they
wish that she was unlived. Yeah, the first time he
should have said literally, never talk to me or my family.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah, the first freaking go back to the story.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
So after very clearly false post, they ended up taking
the post down after a man and nearly every family
member including mine, came down on them, including my husband's
oldest step daughter he has from his first marriage. It
was really bad, and at that point I couldn't mentally
deal with that anymore. So now it gets even mess here.
I let my husband convince me one last time and

(31:30):
let us just pray this is truly the last time
to let Clover go see them. Honestly, it's at this
point it's teetering on divorce because you're telling me the
people who threatened me, who threatened our baby, is gonna
let our you know, my stepdaughter, but you know our
daughter go be with them.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
I do not trust that. No, I don't trust that
for a second.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
Ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
It's been months, and Clover really wanted to see her grandmother,
and I grew up in a separated household, so I
knew first hand what that feeling was like. I caved
and let her go tell her in an age appropriate way,
what her grandmother is. Okay, we drop her off on
a Monday.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
I get a call that.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Thursday because Patsy and Patricia once again got into a fight,
only this time Patsy and Clover got evicted and Patsy
had nowhere to go.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
This is this is the.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Husband's mom bio mom?

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Right.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
I pick up Clover and as I'm there, Patsy starts
talking about how she's gonna brew a white lie because
Patricia cheated on her with a man.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Oh boy's gonna brew this.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
She's gonna tell Patricia that man had stabbies. God, if
that's what I think that is, that's a disgusting case.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
It's like a it's like a skin like oh condition,
Oh okay, but you can I don't. I think you
get it from like contact with yes, with things.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Right, okay, well yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
Dirt, like if it's a place really dirty, I think
you can get it.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
I'm not, but that's as far as we know. Please
educated in the comments.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Yes, jelly skin mites, ah okay, And because he was
in the house, Clover got it and Clover started to.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Break out with a rash on her legs.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
Wait wait, wait, is she saying that is the white lie?
Or is that what happened to Clover?

Speaker 2 (33:21):
So running it back?

Speaker 1 (33:22):
So I pick up Clover and there Patsy starts talking
about how she's going to brew a white lie.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
So, so Clover did not get this the scabies? Is
that what it's I don't know.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
No, I think so she did. So I'm going to
start brewing a white lie because Patricia cheated on her
with a man.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
So I think she's I think the white cheap.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
But there she's going to make up a white lie
about about something about something. She's gonna, Oh, here we go.
She's going to tell Patricia that man had scabies and
because he was in our house, Clover got it, and
Clover started to break out with a rash on her legs.
So that the white lie that again scabies and had
had Clover had got.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
It as well.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
I told Patsy not, don't do that, because she has
a doctor's appointment tomorrow anyways, that y'all was gonna take
her to. But since I'm doing it, all have the
doctor tester and we'll find out. So she said that
was a white lie, but I am now suspecting it is.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
Not a white lie.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
There's always some choice.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
It might have been clear as day. Facts, Baby, did
we find out? Tell me why my ten year old
daughter had to get her legs scraped and tested positive
no for scabies. Turns out Patricia did in fact have
a man over with a child. There might I remind

(34:49):
you and they slept together.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
I'm so angry. I'm so angry. How are you like,
you're so stupid, You're so stupid. These people have shown
you who they are so many times, and you keep
letting them have like you keep letting them have access
to a child.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
But also I'm the most madnest honestly at husband because.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
I'm mad at him.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
This is the bio bio, this is your bio daughter.
And you know your mom the longest, Like at least
we can say, like, Okay, well he's only known here
for two weeks or whatever.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
It is, you know, at least nine months.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Husband has known her his entire life. Okay, huh, Like.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
How I just I just can't. I cannot imagine ever
letting them around any of my children after they said
that they wanted me to be unalived and along with them.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
That should the first time.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
First time.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
First time should have been.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
When people tell you who they are, believe them.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
You gotta listen, listen and please judge because you need
to judge for your safe.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
If you're gonna be a parent, you have to watch
out for your children.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
That is literally something you need to do.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
And that is the father of oh PA's baby.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
And also if you wanted, if you wanted your kid
to like have access to their grandparents, because you know,
we heard Clover wanted to see her grandma. Clover did
say that if you want to do that, you don't
let them just like watch her alone. You stay with her,
You stay with her, you go, you guys go on
an outing. I don't know, you get brunch so she

(36:29):
can see her grandma and you're watching.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
This is really bad.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
This is so bad.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Turns out Patricia did in fact have a man over
and they slept together. Now, if y'all now how scabies work,
you know, it's not an STI. It's just a mite
you get from pure filth, not being sanitary or hygienic,
with him even being in that house, sitting on the
couch's chairs, whatever that stuff spreads. We confront them and
then immediately Patsy starts trying to say how she was

(36:59):
lying about with Patricia, just to get Patricia mad. Patricia
said there was a man over and she did sleep
with them, but he didn't have scabies. That scabies is
a spicy disease and it had to have come from us.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
I E.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
My husband and I we have to child endangerment CPS,
and I feel like now we've had threats, uh we have.
We could probably know those people who are mad at
them on Facebook, get them as testify, testify, run it,
run it, run it. We need to get them in
jail immediately, immediately, immediately, immediately. That piss us off to

(37:35):
no end. We explained that it was impossible considering one,
it is not a spicy disease, and two neither of
us nor the baby has it, so please be for real.
After that we cut all contact. I pray you better
freaking mean it please, Like I do, I do feel
for OP, but again, there reaches a point where it's like, OP,

(37:59):
even if your husband who sucks like he shouldn't be
letting him do this or trying to convince or anything.
We know that's true, But you did have the opportunity
to say no, right, You did have the opportunity to
have the buck stop at you, and it has happened
multiple times. Then, like you said, it could have been
okay where it's like, hey, I want to see Grandma.
You don't want to, Like, yeah, you know that that's

(38:20):
kind of like a wee. It's a weird thing to
explain to the kid, so let's go to a brunch. Hey,
every every weekend. She really wants to see them, she really,
You're like, oh, maybe the solution.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
I don't want to cause any you know, mental whatever
to the to the daughter every weekend or however frequent.
Go get a bunch, Go get a dinner, simple where
you can watch and make sure things are not this,
not this, not this. After that we cut all contact.
I had cut all contact and have them blocked on everything.

(38:51):
Hubby still has Patsy's number on blocked though block it.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Tell him to block it.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Here we are, my son is eight months old, and
I'm nineteen weeks pregnant with our second child.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
Y'all quick with it.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
They're truly not slow about any Clover is now eleven
and I have still maintained no contact with Patrician and Patsy. Well,
more threats started coming in, and then Patsy decided to
take it a step further to tell us they got
a lawyer and they would be taking us to court

(39:23):
for custody of their kids, and that her and Patricia
would be getting married because as is, it doesn't matter
how long Patsy and Patricia have been together. They're not married,
and she has no standing grounds if they get married, though,
according to their oiler and I put that in quotes
because it's written in quotes, Patricia will have more of

(39:44):
a claim to take it even further, Patsy decided to
transfer her job from Walmart and work.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
At the one in our hometown, which.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
Is almost two hours away from their home, per reason
she wanted to be closer. She didn't know where we lived. Truthfully,
she didn't know where we lived and was trying to
find out so she.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Could serve us. Oh my god, dude, how are you driving?

Speaker 1 (40:11):
Why are you getting yourself a unnecessary two hour commute till.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Walmart to work?

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Patsy, Oh, I want to some grant. Listen, this granny
deserves him.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
Pow pow pow.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
Anyways, I've had at this point, and with postpartum depression
on top of being pregnant. Oh man, if you have
postpartum depression and then you get pregnant again, Sophie, I
didn't even even considered. Because you're pregnant so far and
dealing with all this, I had somewhat of a mental breakdown.
I don't blame you to the previous wife's family.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
We love him.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
Oh anyways cool. I came up to Tennessee to be
with him and just get my mental in check because
there was so much going on and I was just spiraling.
It wasn't good for me, my kids or my health.
Good good move, take care of yourself first. Now the
prior wife will call her Kathy. Her family absolutely loves me.
They love how I stepped into the mama mantle and

(41:11):
is just raising Clover as my own. They despise Patsy.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
Thank God, I wonder why.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
I wonder.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
He is such a lovely woman.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
What a gem I came. I healed.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
I went back down to Alabama, and then my husband
and I decided to move to Tennessee to not only
be around this family, but to also let Clover be
around her immediate family. Clover missed them, and like I
always tell her, I'll do everything in my power to
make sure she has those good memories of her mama
and that she never forgets her, as well as making

(41:44):
sure she has that good, healthy relationship with the ones
living which she does.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
All of that is good.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
We've been here for three weeks now, and this week
is Kathy's passing. Away anniversary week. It's been a tough
way for my husband, as she's only been gone a
few years. Tell me why Patsy and Patricia are blowing
up his phone talking about how disrespectful it is for
me to be around Kathy's family, and how he's a

(42:14):
sorry excuse for a man for having me here, and
how he needs to just divorce me, leave our son
and our unborn child, and Clover and himself come live
with them, rent free in their Walmart house where they
can give him the care, comfort and support that I'll
never be able to give him, because when I leave him,

(42:35):
they'll be the only ones there to support him. They
won't let this man grieve.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Dude, Honestly, I'm just so lost by the way.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
You know where it's easy to get lost, You know,
it's easy to get lost of via in the sea
of content, where we have guys full length episodes of
stories just like these. It's on Spotify, it's on Apple Podcast, it's.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Wherever you listen. Just type in okay story time and.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
You've got access.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
It'll pop right up. You'll get lost in a sea
of episodes. A lot of good ones. People have literally
binged our like five ten thousand hour catalog. Yeah, I
don't know how they do it, but road trips it's great.
But Sophia, Yeah, we have been through the absolute.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
Wow wow wow. Yeah, how are we feeling a lot?

Speaker 3 (43:27):
The I just had the like it seems like they
finally cut her off, but she's still there. She's like
a bad disease that you can't get rid.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Of, scraping your legs.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
She's scabbies of humans, scabies of humans.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
Man oh man. But like it's like, I want this
husband to block his mom.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
Also, of course there is complicated feelings about that, but
still I think that like he needs.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
To if he doesn't because like we say often like
oh go low contact, which is basically, unless there's a
severe medical emergency or something, you basically don't respond. If
he had the problem is he keeps responding.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
Yeah, it seems like he keeps responding.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
Yet, so I think he needs the blocker because he's
he's lost his privileges. Yeah, he's lost his but he
lets he lets her convince him every time.

Speaker 3 (44:22):
Every time. How long will it be before he's like, oh,
we should just give her another chance. He's done it
every time.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
He's done it every time. And this might be controversial.
People might hate me, people might flame me. People might say, Hey,
if you suck John, You're the worst show host ever,
get out of my face.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
I never want to listen to you again. But I'm
going to say it anyways.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
Anyway, I think we should sit down Clover and tell
her in an age appropriate manner, who Grandma Patsy and
Patricia really freaking are.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
I think we need to explain that.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
I think you could say, like, hey, I know you
gonna miss Grandma Patsy where we can't have her or
you know, we can't have her around anymore because she's
not she's not being very she's being pretty mean to us. Yeah,
and and maybe you know, maybe somedays she'll apologize and
this isn't about you. You haven't done anything wrong and
we love you, but you know we can't she can't

(45:19):
come around anymore.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
I'm curious to the parents of uh Clover is.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
Now eleven or twelve eleven.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
I would honestly be tempted to obviously not go into
the full graphic details, but to kind of really let
her in on what like, she's threatened us, she's threatened
the baby, She's I think threatened you or she I
mean you and then and you know.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
What, Yeah you can.

Speaker 3 (45:43):
I mean you can even bring up what she did
to Clover because Clover was there for that obviously. Yeah,
you'd be like, hey, and I didn't like how.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
She treated you.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
Yeah, there's like she's been treating us pretty poorly. That
was the tip of the iceberg. And they basically do
this kind of thing all the time. Yeah, and like
we want to basically avoid you because the more time,
the more close you are to them, the more things
like that could happen.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
I agreed, I agree, I don't flame you.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
Well, okay, Stephanie says in chat. Agree there, she's old
enough to understand in age appropriate conversation. Cool, Thank you, Stephanie,
appreciate that. Jem says, twelve year olds know what's up.
That's what I was kind of wondering anyways. So I
have no idea what to do. Should we just move
forward with pressing charges? Should I take this up legally?
I'm so lost and I've never experienced anything like this before.

(46:27):
I could understand if maybe I was doing things and
being ugly to them.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
But I'm not.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
I've walked on eggshells and bent over backwards to try
and accommodate them and make things work. But nothing I
do is ever good enough or will ever be good enough.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Am I the a hole? Should I just put it
aside and get over it? Advice? Please?

Speaker 1 (46:43):
I am at my wits end. Thank you, and sorry
for such a long post. I think to just quickly
wrap up and put a bell on this all of
those things, like possibly even move farther away I don't know,
make sure you stay, or just like you know, being
an address where they don't know you are, do all
the legal action you can to get them out of

(47:03):
your life. And I think there's like a balance of
like going no contact but letting them know you're not
an effing around like you call us, We're immediately going
to get the cops called and arrest you. We're gonna
get all the restraining orders, We're gonna press all of
the charges. Go where we are on Go. Clover doesn't
want to be with you guys anymore. These babies are ours,
not yours. You are insane. Restraining order restraining.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
Order, which maybe you already said, but I agree with
all of what you said.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Thank you, Sophia, You're welcome.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
I love stories, So could you read the next?

Speaker 3 (47:36):
Yeah, you have to give me this.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Ay and good thing. Sophie is the fastest rider the
saddo read in the Wisp.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
Clips with you a little too fast. Everyone said they
liked my reading style in the chat sho beg to differ.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
Oh my god, I feel like John's like the perfect
I'm a little slower than John and you're like way faster.

Speaker 3 (47:59):
That's It's freaking crazy.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Sophia reads very well. She reads very well.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
Like to her well, her style obviously her like comprehension everything,
but like I mean her, like her.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
You know the swag confrehension is another streeting swag, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
I appreciate that my mother in law ruined our trip
because she always throws a tantrum when she can't get
her way. I watch Starbies.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
I want to know.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
I am giving vague locations to avoid possible family members
reading this. Not again with the niche background. No, I
want to.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
Okay, just tell the story, OpEd to give info.

Speaker 3 (48:36):
My mother in law, my husband and I traveled to
a southwest state to visit my brother in law. We're
staying in a small apartment to save money. My mother
in law from the planning stages of the strip has
been trying to dictate everything when we get up, when
we eat, what we eat, and what we do. By
the way, this comes from Goadie Junior, and if you
want to submit your own stories, go to our slash

(48:57):
ooky story time separate it. So where we're going is
a very few food popular place, and going out to
eat is considered one of the highlights of traveling here.
But she wanted to eat at home two out of
the possible three meals per day. But when we arrived,
she made it clear she only wanted to go out
to eat once during the trip, not even to an

(49:17):
expensive place, but a place where one full meal is
fourteen dollars. So she wants to go grocery shopping at
a cheap place like Walmart no no Costco. Oh, at
a cheap place like Walmart no Costco for a four
day trip. That's actually the craziest place to pick up

(49:37):
groceries for a fort age. We finally convinced her to
go to Walmart. As we get there, she starts loading
up the cart with food items she wants and they're
all organic, high priced, healthy food items.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
The worst unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
She demands that we have eggs in the morning and
salads during the evening. Is she gonna put the bill, Nope,
she wanted to split the bill with us. Literally, none
of the food in the cart was for the rest
of us, but she wanted us to split the bill
with her. Every time we made a plan to do something,
she would interject and say, I want to do X
y Z first. Let me tell you. After hearing a

(50:13):
full grown boomer say I wanna in a whiny voice,
you're just about to pull your hair out. The second day,
she wanted to work out with the sun she was visiting.
He didn't want to because he wanted to work out alone.
I can't imagine anyone wants to hang out willingly with
the mother.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
In law, That is true. Yeah, So she.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
Decided she was going to take a three hour walk
in the one hundred and five degree fahrenheit weather with
only twenty ounces of water and no sunscreen.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
Is a human girl, If it's human, you're ft.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
Your toast, I mean your toast regardless, So I mean
I'm toast. Maybe this is just me. So after one hour,
we had to go on a search and rescue for
her because she most definitely was going to suffer from
a bad sunburn slash dehydration. Not only did she literally
walk off to throw a hissy fit, but she delayed
the actual plans my brother in law made for the day.

(51:08):
Our third day hasn't happened yet, but my brother in
law wanted to make me feel included and asked what
I would like to do since the day was wide open.
I suggested a fun tourist attraction and both him and
my husband were eager to do it. But before we
could start figuring out the timing of it, my mother
in law spoke up and said she wanted to go
take photos first and get a workout and cook and

(51:29):
go swimming and get coffee. But she finished off first
her list of demands with but whatever you guys want
to do, No, ma'am, apparently it's not whatever we want
to do, because you get pissy when things aren't going
your way. You know, she's just gonna throw a tantrum
if she doesn't, if she doesn't get to go on
her what did she say? Work out, cook, swim, coffee?

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Right, bro, hot take. She just needs to get laid.
That's really what this woman needs.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
At the end of this day. That's all she needs.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
But dude, I mean, in my calmer down h Chat
will agree with me. Chat will agree with me.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
I will never travel with her again, nor will I
ever spend more than three hours with her. Visiting my
brother in law was supposed to be fun and relaxing,
but she's treating this vacation like a to do list
and making sure all her boxes are ticked off first
before anyone else. I want to go home. That's sex. Yeah,
she's totally ruining your relationship. I mean, not your relationship,

(52:27):
your vacation, but there isn't edit. Oh gosh, thanks for
all your encouragement. Guys. Today is day three. You have
one more day after this, so I'll finally be saying
something to my mother in law when she starts up
her antics again. Oh Ezekiel says we're a Snickers bar
because she's not her when she's hungry. I will probably

(52:49):
make an update post with the rage that will ensue
and comments.

Speaker 2 (52:53):
Oh gosh.

Speaker 3 (52:54):
Common one says it's a shame because the brother in
law at least seems to want to spend time with
you all and wants to include you, which is awesome.
At some point, I just leave and tell mother in
law if she wants to do at home activities all day,
she's more than welcome to. You're going to enjoy the
vacation and actually explore the city a bit. You would
have to deal with the tantrum afterward, but at least

(53:14):
you would enjoy one day of the vacation. Common two
says Info. I know she'll be upset, but besides that,
why can't you guys just go without her. Let her
do what she wants and you do what you want.
Let her throw her toddler tantrum, Yeah, OPI says, because
my brother in law is our only ride and she's
stupidly decided to only bring cash, so Uber and Lyft

(53:36):
are out of the question.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
Interesting and interesting.

Speaker 3 (53:40):
Uh. I would love to call her out on her selfishness,
but my brother in law and husband are non confrontational people.
I even had a fight with my husband during the
flight about how I was worried that she was going
to control everything, not ask anyone's opinions on what they
want to do, and play the victim. But he kept
disagreeing and said that he wanted to have a good
time and to not ruin things for him. Update There

(54:01):
is an update, but John just got back. But basically
OP is on this little four day trip with the
fam and her mother in law swalks. Her mother in
law has always throwing tantrums, is like, we need to
go on a swim, we need to go on a walk.
We're gonna do what I want to do, and no
one else wants to do that. And she keeps learning
these tantrums and hope he's just sick and tired of it.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
Yep. And they're on day three yep. And I said
she just needs to get laid Yeah, yeah, that's true.

Speaker 3 (54:27):
That's what Riley said.

Speaker 1 (54:28):
Thank you some d for the mi IL update.

Speaker 3 (54:31):
Day three has officially ended and it was a doozy
for my mother in law. Four more info that got
buried in comments on the original post. My husband specifically
asked me not to say anything to my mother in
law prior to this trip because he's a non confrontational person.
I mean, I also can imagine growing up with this
mother in law. Would not be back.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
No, you would not want to. I don't want to.

Speaker 3 (54:56):
His main focus was just having a good time with
his brother and not wanting to fight with his mom.
During the night of day two, my sister in law.
Brother in law's wife called my mother in law and
complained about her controlling behavior. She told my mother in
law that she was ruining his vacation by constantly trying
to get him to do everything she wanted to do.

(55:17):
Fast forward to day three, my mother in law had
wanted to go on a three mile run with my
brother in law. However, after the call she had with
my sister in law, mother in law decided to go
on a four hour walk on her own. And I
believe this is in the one hundred and fifteen degree
weather or one hundred and five degree weather.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Cool OII that is freezing.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
My brother in law had just about enough of her
being dramatic and told her that we were going out
for breakfast and she's welcome to join, but we aren't
going with her. Without skipping a beat, she just said
okay and try to leave. Before she left, my husband
told her she needed to put on sunscreen, wear a hat,
turn on her location on her phone, and stay on
the paved walking trails in good boom or fashion. She

(55:58):
started resisting, saying she'd don't need that crap. We told
her she did. She just kept saying, I don't need
you guys to parent me.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Yeah. I was just about to say, I love how
Key's being the mom to her.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
Yes, where bring the water? Where your sunscreen? Thankfully we're
all on the same wavelength, and told her that we
did need us, she did need us to parent her,
and that she was being silly for no reason. She
were saying at you see you. At four pm, b
we went out to breakfast, went shopping, and hung out

(56:31):
peacefully at home. It was so fun. Around three pm,
we again and needed to rescue her because it was
another one hundred and five degree fair night day and
she only brought another twenty ounce of water.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
Honestly, she said this twice.

Speaker 3 (56:45):
Now this is the second time.

Speaker 1 (56:47):
She said this question is when do we let her
learn her lesson? So yeah, oh oh, did we not
say that's like probably not a good idea, and like
at least you were going to do it, bring all
this stuff, And they're like, screw it, I don't need you.

Speaker 2 (56:58):
Go ahead and go ahead and.

Speaker 3 (56:59):
Fig if she doesn't. Honestly, by the second time, I'm
just going big on the I told you SoSE going
like she's getting a hardcore twenty minute I Told you
so parenting lecture.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (57:12):
We brought her back, told her to get freshened up
because we were heading downtown to go shopping, eating, and sightseeing.
She initially said she didn't want to go, but reluctantly
said fine. This is where crap hit the fan, and
she fully pulls out the boomers selfishness. As all four
of us are walking, She's consistently walking four paces behind us,
her arms crossed and eyes locked to the ground. We

(57:34):
tried asking her where she wanted to go and if
she wanted anything to eat, but she kept pouting and
saying no, is this a four year old?

Speaker 2 (57:42):
Truly, what are you doing woman?

Speaker 3 (57:45):
We went to a tourist attraction and asked her to
participate in the activities included in the place, and again
all we got was a nope. It wasn't until she
was almost groped by a wasted homeless man that we
finally snapped at her.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
We asked what her problem was.

Speaker 3 (57:59):
It was she she was acting this way?

Speaker 2 (58:02):
That was the well, I don't know if that okay?
Was that connected? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
We asked what a problem was and why she was
acting this way. She told us she felt left out
and that she thinks she should have just stayed back
since no one wanted her there.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
Yeah, go away.

Speaker 3 (58:20):
We told her that we did want her there and
tried all night to include her in activities, but she
wanted to be upset instead. I spoke up and told
her that if she wanted to be upset, that's okay,
but she can't look like a victim or someone might
try to hurt her. She only responded, oh f eolp
and try to walk away again. My husband told me

(58:40):
not to say anything, and I agreed, because honestly, I
don't know how the heck to respond to an adult
throwing a temper tantrum. We all agreed that she can
stay upset for all week are because she has literally
no reason to be. We told her we've done everything
she wanted this trip, except for going exercising with her
and eating at home for all our meals. We told
her that she is wanted and were trying to include her.

(59:01):
If she wanted to be upset, that's her problem, but
she needs to stop being stupid and stick with the group.
By the way, you should stick with us and listen
to full episodes with stories just like this on Apple Podcasts, Spotify,
or your favorite podcast app Just Up Church, Up Bogus,
story Time, chicken Head.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
That was a great transition.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
That really was, uh, there's a little bit left.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
We're just gonna dumb right now. Jump.

Speaker 3 (59:25):
Finally, after five hours and one last tourist attraction, she
turned around and started having fun.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
She just needed a little tot.

Speaker 3 (59:34):
You can't have a little melts.

Speaker 2 (59:37):
I thought that was what's hut.

Speaker 3 (59:46):
She did eventually let out a small sorry, but the
damage was done. This woman is a nightmare to vacation with,
and I have seen her true colors this trip. I
will be removing myself from what most visits with her.
I've always had a gut feeling that she isn't a
it's nice as she tries to make people believe. So
it's very reassuring to finally have that peace of mind
and comments. And that's it. And that's the end of

(01:00:08):
that story. Your mother in law's a nightmare.

Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
She sucks.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
She sucks. Don't get another trip with her. Get her
that's my recommendation. But that is the end of that episode.
So if you love us, make sure to subscribe.

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
We love you and Samo.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
This is an episode from Deep within the Archives. Time
for okop relash. I'm just so angry because my careen
neighbor threw a party, so I filed a restraining order,
got her fired from her job, and then took blackmail
to a whole new level.

Speaker 4 (01:00:40):
How do you take blackmail to a whole new level?
After all of that, it gets deep? Where does it
go from there? Like a murder? Are we about to
see a meta take place?

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
I put you in a spaceship and launch you into
space with no snacks. I rip out your sphincter and
use it as a hat. I mean that's pretty bad,
pretty pretty bad. But we'll see what Opie does to
top it. All right, let's see it. I'm twenty female
and I live in a suburban neighborhood with my family.
A few years ago, we had new neighbors move in

(01:01:11):
next door. Oh new neighbors, Oh god, problems. At first
they seemed all right, but then they turned out to
be complete party animals.

Speaker 4 (01:01:29):
That's what it sounded like, twenty four to seven exactly.
I feel like op sounds a little straight edge.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
It's like, yeah, I well, you.

Speaker 4 (01:01:35):
Know, we lived in a quiet neighborhood, and then these
people who were cool as fuck moved in and had
all these people hanging out.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
Imagine they're literally just have like like hangouts where they
just like place music, eat some chips and stuff. Like
he's like partiers. They were just drinking Pepsi by the
case load. Oh my god, that sugar high was insane.
I'm talking about partying three times a week, blasting loud
music till two am in the morning. Two am is
a little late.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
That's a little a little late. Sounds like your apartment.

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
I was literally about to say the same thing.

Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
One time, we literally were like six grown men jumping
up and down, and I was like, how are the
police not here?

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:02:15):
Yeah, the friddiness of my apartment has declined. That's true
in the last year, I would say that. Being said,
I cannot believe we didn't get the cops called on
us more because you could hear.

Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
Our music from the street usually.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
That's true, Yes, you could. You guys are slick.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
We're slick.

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
Can you say we're slick?

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
Over the past year and a half, we've had multiple
confrontations with our neighbors over petty little stuff In fact,
I made a post about one of these petty confusions
on our neighbor on our slash malicious complying, Oh we
got a reddit or on her now. I'm shocked that
story blew up as much as it did, and honestly
I almost forgot about the post entirely until a few
weeks ago. Oh intrigue. So our neighbors were having one

(01:02:54):
of their super crazy pool parties and it was driving
everyone in the neighborhood crazy. The police couldn't much because
we would make a noise complaint and the police would
show up give them a warning.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Things would go quiet.

Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
For maybe thirty minutes, but then they would just go
right back to partying again. Over time, some neighbors begin
to give up, and eventually some even moved away.

Speaker 4 (01:03:14):
Oh my god, dude, it's gonna become parties Central. And
then other neighbors moved in that liked to party just
as much as.

Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
Yeah, I'm imagining I don't know why, like it, like
those like really biker gangs. Was like really old people
and they're just like blasting like Motley DC, just popping
back boiled peanuts and drinking beers all night. I'm imagining
the plot of Neighbors.

Speaker 4 (01:03:39):
Don has never seen any movie God editors put in
like a clip from Neighbors in here has Zach Effron
in it and Joe Rogan or not sorry, Seth Rogan,
not Joe Rogan.

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
That would be funny, though I would watch that movie too.

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
At this point, my mom had finally had enough. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
Once the party finally seemed to wind down at around
midnight and guests started leave, my mom marched straight up
to the owner of the house. We'll call her Lying
Sally because she's a pathological liar, yeah, and warned her
that we will start calling the cops on them more
if they don't stop.

Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
I like it.

Speaker 4 (01:04:11):
Its like a more like we call the cops every
time they throw a party, but we're gonna do it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
Twice as much.

Speaker 1 (01:04:17):
It's like it's like they were they were running their
blender too loud. He got you now, of course, Lying
Sally and her party guests laughed and started taunting my
mother dang, which led to an ugly screaming match. Luckily,
I just had the common sense to record all of
this just in case, and thank god I did. At
some point during the fight, Lying Sally screams at my mom.

(01:04:39):
I'm gonna effing beat the crap out of you.

Speaker 4 (01:04:45):
Yo, Lying Sally seems not that chill, actually not chill
at all. Yeah, come on, I thought you were chill
like that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
I thought this was like like low five, like party beats,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:04:55):
No, No, maybe lying Sally is a little bit of
a weirdo and we're One.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
Of our neighbors called the cops, which I don't blame
him for doing. So everyone just calling the cops. God,
They're like cos it is like, please, please, no one
call us. I was getting worried for my mom since
lying Sally kept threatening to beat her up. The cops
came around and everything got peacefully resolved.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
Thankfully.

Speaker 1 (01:05:22):
It wasn't until the next morning I reviewed the video
and remembered that you can file a restraining order against
someone for threat of assaults. Yo.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
Now here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
I knew that filing a straining order against someone can
cause that person to maybe lose their job or make
it difficult for that person to find a future job.
Does a restraining order go on your record? I guess
I never knew that. Maybe, like you know, like background
check when they I bet that is probably where it
comes down.

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
So it's like restraining order. Dang, that's that's wild. Now.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
I knew from a sticker on the back of her car.
She works in daycare, which is hilarious to me. She's
just like taking care of kids.

Speaker 4 (01:05:59):
Like, yeah, she has to be you know, she's hanging
around kids, is like all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:06:05):
She needs to let loose like an adult.

Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
Dude. Come on, now, that's the cops. They just got called.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
Why do they keep calling calling them?

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
If I were a nicer person, I would have just
let it go. But but there's his rdhitch. It's too bad.
I'm petty game time baby. So we filed the restraining order.
I took my neighbor to court, and after showing the
judge the video, he was immediately on our side, especially
after she had initially tried to lie and claim that
she never once threatened my mom.

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
She didn't know I had video proof.

Speaker 4 (01:06:38):
Yeah, dude, the proof is in the VID. That's why
you always have a body cam on you.

Speaker 1 (01:06:43):
That's three sixty go pros just around like through my body.

Speaker 4 (01:06:49):
All the time and then you can turn into content
for okop wow bamn bingbo.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
The judge granted us the restraining order and we were
jumping for joy. Meanwhile, lying Sally wouldn't stop crying and
pleading with the judge to rethink his.

Speaker 4 (01:07:03):
Bird steps in a little baby, bro, come on, you're
supposed to be a daycare care giver, not a daycare kid.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
Come on, come on, get out of here.

Speaker 1 (01:07:14):
Yeah. I thought the kids influence you poorly for being
a cry baby. Now this next part is extra savage.
Here the real kicker. I made an anonymous call with
a friend's phone to the daycare center where she worked,
and I let her boss know everything.

Speaker 4 (01:07:32):
Wow, ope, Geez's going insane.

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
Du good golly.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
A few days later, I noticed she had removed the
sticker from the daycare from the back of her car.
Oh no, it's so sad. I just wanted to party.
I'm pretty sure she was fired because she started staying
at home almost twenty four to seven. Her car almost
never left the driveway.

Speaker 2 (01:07:54):
Oh it's rough.

Speaker 1 (01:07:56):
Oh this girl's probably depressed too. Can't party?

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
Oh my gosh, dude, she's struggling.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
Also, the best part, the crazy loud parties finally stopped.
It's been radio silent for a whole entire month. The
neighbors just popping prozac. Just like God, I din't can't party,
I can't eat, takecare Like dude, what can you do?

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
Really?

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
All her life's meaning has disintegrated. Now you can bet
that during Christmas, our closest neighbors dropped off a lot
of cookies and chocolates as a thank you, thank you
for helping ruin her life. He don't cross a redditor,
They'll destroy you. First question when you meet anyone, are
you a red editor? So you know, not quite please,

(01:08:40):
I'm getting away, but Sam, it's not over. There's an update.
Oh so, somebody asked how the judge was able to
see the video because phones aren't allowed in the courtroom.
This is true, but we were told to have our
phones turned completely off once the hearing started, and lying
Sally straight up said to the judge, I never threatened
my mom. So I told the judge I have video proof,
and then the judge allowed me to show it on

(01:09:01):
a projector for the entire courtroom. That was a nail
in the coffin for lying Sally. Also in the comments
I mentioned I have video proof of her kissing someone
who is not her husband.

Speaker 4 (01:09:13):
Oh my god, Ope he is ruining this woman's entire life.

Speaker 1 (01:09:17):
I've met you, she'd be cheating so seriously. Now, there
are several reasons why I haven't exposed her yet. I'm
not sure if her and her husband are an open relationship,
but they're both crazy enough to do it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
They have kids.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
I'm a child whose parents almost went through a divorce.
I know how horrible it can be. I kind of
hate the husband. He's always been extremely rude, So this
is my petty revenge against him. And I'm holding onto
the video as blackmail just in case the party starts
up again. Wow, Bro, this lady is a pro fashion Nah.

Speaker 4 (01:09:49):
He is playing like forty chess over here, dude. I
am scared. Yeah, I'm scared that these kind of people
like exist because like mostly I just feel, you know,
like you and you or me, like someone fucks us over.
We're like all right, I'm just we're just gonna like
move on live and I live, I live, and like
we'll probably want to associate with them or whatever, but

(01:10:10):
we're not gonna like go out of our way to
ruin their entire live Like this is vindictive as heck, bro.

Speaker 1 (01:10:17):
And and like the other person, she basically thinks it's over.
She's like, all right, there was this horrendous time in
my life, but you know what, it's over and I
can go on. Little does she know she literally has
a full freaking clip, just ready to scheme in.

Speaker 3 (01:10:31):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
But you know what, you should always scheme on.

Speaker 4 (01:10:34):
Oh what sam r slash okop show tell us your stories?

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
Send him in, baby, This is Okayop.

Speaker 4 (01:10:41):
I'm Samuel daughter and I'm John Fry and we tell
the funniest stories on the Internet. And John, boy, do
I have another cancerous one for you.

Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
I'm ready.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
It's about cancer. Just to blow your mind.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
Let's do it.

Speaker 4 (01:10:55):
Mom felt entitled to my wish after I was diagnosed
and survived cancer.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
Bro, where do they make these moms? So? Where where
did they make them?

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
At? Hell? Cancel? Are there are a bunch of a
bunch of Karen Moms? Weake Karen's buy merch.

Speaker 4 (01:11:12):
So today, I twenty nine female, am thirteen years in
remission from cancer. I had a very aggressive type with
less than a twenty percent chance of survival for the
first five years. But that's not the story I'm here
to share. It's just relevant information. As I was sixteen,
I qualified for make a Wish. I'd played around with
a bunch of potential ideas, this nation, vacations, meeting my

(01:11:33):
favorite band, getting electronics, all that. Once the idea of
traveling somewhere warm came up, my mom entitled parent was
convinced that that was what was happening with my wish.
Oh dear, the discussion of Barbados came up, so that's
what she set her mind to. However, I was still
in the fence, and after discussing it with my correspondent
at Make a Wish, I wanted to meet my favorite band.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
We would not have been able to go to the.

Speaker 4 (01:11:56):
Caribbean for the trip, simply because of costs, but we
could still go somewhere warm and out of the country.
We live in northern Canada with negative forty celzia as winters.

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
No thank you, go, no thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:12:09):
There was talks of Florida, California, or even Hawaii is
destinations to meet them. At I wrote a letter directed
to said band explaining how listening to them helped me
through treatment and that actually one song in particular that
the youngest wrote really helped me, and my correspondent had
mailed it out to the managers, and they were going
to begin preparations for the band to get time scheduled
for the wish, which all sounds great, right. They're gonna

(01:12:30):
fly out to somewhere warm and they're gonna meet the band.

Speaker 1 (01:12:32):
Oh, it's like a double whammy wish. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:12:34):
Yeah. They maybe not Barbados because that would be too expensive,
but they would be able to go to like Florida.

Speaker 2 (01:12:39):
Her waff, I love it. I love it already. I
can tell it's not going to be end twelve.

Speaker 1 (01:12:43):
No. No.

Speaker 4 (01:12:44):
When I told my mom what I wanted and the
plan to meet the band, she went nuts. She went
off about how she deserved this trip as much as
I do because she was there for me the entire tie,
and that if I wanted to do anything besides going
to Barbados, I could find another adult to supervise the

(01:13:07):
trip because neither her or my stepdad would be joining me.

Speaker 2 (01:13:12):
What God, wasn't what she wanted? Oh my God.

Speaker 1 (01:13:17):
She then told me to pack my.

Speaker 4 (01:13:19):
Bags and I'd be staying at my dad's place till
I came to my senses stop and then told make
a wish that we were going to Barbados.

Speaker 1 (01:13:30):
You're kicking out your own daughter with cancer, owned daughter
with cancer, over a freaking make a wish.

Speaker 2 (01:13:35):
It's not even yours.

Speaker 4 (01:13:36):
I spent a month at my dad. I spent over
a month at my dad's and during this time, the
correspondent was trying to convince me to go through with
what I really wanted.

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
But I eventually caved and let my mom have what
she wanted.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
Oh man.

Speaker 4 (01:13:49):
Now, my parents did make a compromise with me at
the time and told me they drive me to their
concert in Toronto if I had paid for the entire trip.

Speaker 2 (01:13:59):
Bro, she's a teenager with cancer.

Speaker 4 (01:14:02):
Foolish seventeen year old me thought that was a great idea.
I get to see the band in concert and make
my parents happy. In the end, it costs a lot.
My parents complained the whole time, but at least I'd
see them in concert.

Speaker 2 (01:14:13):
Oh wow.

Speaker 4 (01:14:15):
On the occasional time where the conversation of the trip
to Barbados has come up, my mom likes to paint
herself as a victim after all these years. Could you
imagine if you'd gone through with it and we'd messed
out on Barbados, you would have gone with the You
would have gone with a person's mom instead in last
us her and her stepdad behind.

Speaker 1 (01:14:36):
I would have never forgiven you if you'd done that.
Oh my god, you're child with cancer. I know.

Speaker 4 (01:14:42):
To this day. I'm still a huge fan of that band.
They were on hiatus for a while but came back,
and this whole situation really sticks in my mind, especially
when I see them performing on shows and on their
two tours they've done post hiatus. Yes, I saw them
in a concert and it was a great time. But
I could have physically met them, gone to a concert
through make a wish while traveling to another country.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
Without having to pay out of pocket for the experience. Amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:15:06):
And I couldn't do any of this all because my
mom felt entitled to making my wish about her rather
than the actual recipient of it. I understand that she
didn't care to be the ban herself, but there could
have been many opportunities available aside from just doing that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
I nearly died. It shouldn't have even been a question.

Speaker 4 (01:15:23):
That it was my wish and I should do what
I want for my wish, especially with the extremely high
chance of the cancer coming back.

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
So what do you guys think? Do you think?

Speaker 2 (01:15:33):
Ope?

Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
He is in the wrong ear. Do you think the
parents are in the wrong ear. You know who's never
in the right Adam Levine. Adam, his existence is an
insult to humanity.

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:15:43):
And if you want to show whose boss on TikTok,
let's surpass him and.

Speaker 1 (01:15:46):
Followers follow us.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
Screw Oudam Levine.

Speaker 4 (01:15:49):
But John, what do you think of the like who's
actually wrong here? Gee, it's pretty obvious. God tell us
at the commons.

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
Dude, let us let us no, guys, this one was
a doozy. You delivered, Sam, This one was a doozy.
