If you're listening to the Jack and Nicki Show podcast
everywhere you get your podcasts and at WBQ dot com.
Joined Jack and Nicky Live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVAQ.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Okay, let's get into this. This is something that I
believe Nicki stumbled up on while she was rifling around
on Reddit.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Yep, it's my favorite place to you know, go wallow.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Okay, I I gotta tell you, I'm not I'm not
really sure that I see a huge problem here with
this particular story. And I'll tell you why. Okay when
we get to the analysis portion.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
So here's bullet points.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Ready, Yeah, Well, here's what we've got. So, according to
this this post that Nikki uncovered, there's this this new
mom who said that after her husband her husband let
me back this up. Okay, And this woman is pregnant. Okay,

(01:08):
she's getting ready to have a baby, because that's how
pregnancy works. Okay, eventually it ends with a baby coming
out of you. All right, this woman she was gonna
have a baby. Her mother in law offered to help
out when the baby was born.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Okay, this is most mother in laws do.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Sure, Yeah, which is a lovely gesture, and that's very nice.
But this young mom did not want the help, and
she told this too her husband, sure, so that her
husband would relay this information to his mom, because that
is how it should work. As we've discussed on this

(01:44):
show so many times, when you're married, dealing with your
family is your job, not your spouse's job. Yeah, and
that keeps everybody happy, keeps people getting along.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
You don't need your husband yelling at your mom, correct,
and you don't need to be at his mom.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Everybody takes out their own garbage, all right. And yeah,
I realized I just word to people's extended families as garbage. Cake.
So she tells her husband, hey, look, I don't want
your mom helping out. I got this. I'd really just
rather not have her here or anybody just want some
peace when the new baby gets here, all right. Well,
her husband did not tell his mom not to come, okay,

(02:25):
And so this woman's mother in law showed up at
the house with a suitcase ready to move in a
few days after she had the baby. That is when
her husband finally stepped in and told his mom, and
I'm quoting now, is not a good time Wow, yeah

(02:48):
he said this to his mom. Okay, so mother in
law left and she was furious.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
So now the problem seems to be that the mother
in law's upset with the new mom, and the new
mom is upset with her husband. Everybody's angry.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yeah, everybody's mad about stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, they're all mad about stuff. Now, as I see it,
there's really no problem here. This is win win. And
here's why I see it this way. Win win, Yes,
this is win win. The husband handled it so that
she didn't have to so good. Yes, he supposed to
do that, And to make things even better, he did
it poorly. He did it in a way that angered

(03:30):
his own mom so that she left in a huff,
which means she will no longer bother you. Okay, so
you have managed to get rid of an unwanted mother
in law without having to lift a finger to do it.
You didn't have to say anything, You didn't have to
be rude or nasty to this woman. Sure, her own

(03:50):
son angered her to the point where she has left
and will no longer contact you. It seems to me
like a lot of this has just really I mean,
you're in a good situation now.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
I mean, I see your point, Jack Loger, but also
I think this is going to cause a lot of
trouble with the said mother in law.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Hey listen, let him duke it out with his own mom.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
I agree, Yeah, it's on him.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
I don't know if it wasn't clearly stated that the
you know, new mom wanted him to deliver that message
before the baby was born. Maybe he thought, okay, she's
going this is her decision. But you know, new mom
told mother in law this already. I don't have to
step in, you know. I don't know where that came
into play. It was a miscommunication of who was supposed

(04:38):
to deliver the message.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Because no mean hilarious miscommunication.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Yeah, sure, because for the mother in law to just
appear also without having express consent, like there was no
you know, like hey, okay, she's gonna have the baby
planned to be here on such and such date, or hey,
baby's born.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Be here on you know, Yeah, there was no plan.
She just showed up.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
So a lot of this is on the mother in
law because you know, she never got a you know,
the final word on whether or not she was supposed
to be there or not.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Shouldn't be assuming things she assumed everything. Mother in law
showed up suitcase in hand, and what's really weird? She
was wearing a dress and she floated down on an
umbrella and then sure, yeah his mom Mary Poppins, Yeah yeah.
Studio lines are open eight eight eight seven seven seven
sixty six forty. You can call us, you can text us.

(05:32):
How would you handle this situation? And are you with me?
Do you think this is really not that big of
a problem. I don't think it is.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
I kind of want to know, like how the mother
in law's in the community would handle this situation.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Because like as the mom or new mom or new dad,
like obviously like that's complicated, but also like why would
you just show up?

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Like I want to know what the mother in law.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
I'm happy to talk to anybody wh wants to weigh
in on this. You're a new mom, you're the mother
in law, you're the dopey husband. I mean, I don't
care whatever angle you want to take on this. I
am interested in your thoughts and we are going to
get to the next on the Jack and Nikki Show.
Some final thoughts from you guys coming in on the
textual line again, if you're just joining us new mom

(06:19):
gets an offer from her mother in law. Hey, I'll
come and stay with you guys and help take care
of the baby. She tells her husband, I don't want
your mom here, assuming he'll say, hey, mom, she doesn't
want you here. We don't want you here. No one
wants you here. So the husband does not. He says nothing.
And then the mother in law shows up with her suitcase,
and then he has to take her aside and go, yeah, mom,

(06:41):
this is this is a problem, not a good time.
You need to go. So now the mother in law
is she's mad, and the new mom is mad, and
the husband is bewildered, and we are milking it for
material on the show. So that's basically where we are,
if you're just joining us. He just got a text here.

(07:01):
Won't anyone to think of the poor grandfather? That man's
vacation was ruined. That's a fair point. Yeah, what about
grandpa and all this? He just wanted a second piece.
He worked his whole life, he finally got to retirement.
He wants to be left alone. Right, let's see more
texts coming in. The mother in law is the problem.
She sounds pretty aggressive. She should stay out of it,

(07:23):
unless they reach out and ask her to be there, right, yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
Yes, So like if you haven't gotten express you know, consent.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Written, consent written, yes, from your your daughter in law
and for some reason, the National Football League, then you
shouldn't be involved in it.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Right.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Look, it's a nice gesture. I mean, it's nice to say, hey,
would you like some help with the baby, But that's
different from saying I will be there to help you
with the baby. Those are two different showing up, right, yeah,
would you like some help and I'm coming, those are
two different things, or.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Just showing up three different things.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Well yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a fair point. I guess again,
the husband, he could have been more clear. And that
brings us to another text here says this text or
the husband is spineless. He didn't want to deal with
his mom, and he put it off until the last
minute when he had no way around it. Yep, that's
what like to me. Yeah, it sounds like he just

(08:25):
he did not have the courage to just say to
his mom on the phone, hey mom, listen, we're good.
I appreciate it, but we got this. He didn't want
to deal with that, right, so he put it off,
and he put it off until his mom shows up,
actually travels there with a suitcase, and then he has
to take her aside face to face and send her back,

(08:47):
which is way worse. And this is a lesson about procrastination,
It really is.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah, I bet you he won't procrastinate about it anymore.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Don't let things pile up, you know, it just gets worse.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
If I was the wife in the situation, I would
be in the room while he's having the conversations from
now on with his mom, making sure he's not putting
it off and he's actually getting the information that needs
to be given.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
I don't think he'll do this again.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
I don't think he will either.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
I don't think so. No, because everybody's mad at him.
Everybody's mad at him, and rightly so. His mom's mad
at him, his wife's mad at him. I mean, he
this is really on him, it is, and really almost
no one else. Maybe the mother in law's aggressive, but
it's on him.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Another text just popped in here. Why do mother in
laws always assume the daughter in law once them living
in their house rather than their own moms If their
own mom isn't invited, why would the mother in law
be invited it's kind of crazy.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
That's a very good point, a very good point.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
The Nerve Center of North Central West Virginia, Jack Loger
and Nicki Drake on one O two WVAQ.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Moments ago. I awkwardly promoted that we would be talking
about spie work and revenge. Yes, and that's exactly what
we're going to do right now. And I think you'll
find when you're looking for these kinds of stories, a
really good place to look is TikTok TikTok.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
If you haven't heard of the TikTok app, it's.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
The app popping up on phones everywhere. TikTok, TikTok app.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
TikTok hass five hundred million active uses.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
This is a TikTok trend going viral.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Put that on TikTok.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Well a man did. He was having trouble with his
Homeowners Association, the HOA as some call it as others
call it the.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Hoa Hoah Hoa.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
And so he decided to lash out at the HOAH
after he was fined fifty dollars for having garbage cans exposed.
They were naked as the day they were manufactured. These
garbage cans were not wearing a stitch of clothing. Yeah,
and it was totally inappropriate.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Only cans, yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
That's right. They have an account on only cans. So
he had his garbage cans out and the hoah came
along and according to this quote unquote man, they said
that he could either put his trash cans in the
garage or erect a fence where he could hide those
garbage cans from people seeing them.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
The problem, as he explained, is that his garage is
in fact his home gym. Oh yeah right, and they're
working out he doesn't want garbage cans and they're stinking
to join up. So he was just leaving him outside
the house and they're like, no, you can't do that.
So to get back at his home owners association, he
constructed up black bat house on his lawn because in

(11:48):
his area, bat sanctuaries are protected, and the hoah cannot
tell him to get rid of it. So it's gonna
be a whole bunch of bats. They're going to be,
I guess, swarming the neighbor hood, okay, and they can't
do anything about it. So people are kind of divided

(12:08):
on this. There are some people are encouraging him and saying, hey,
this is great. Screw those guys, and other people are like, oh,
you kind of petty, And as far as I'm concerned,
do whatever you want. Because it's not in my neighborhood.
It doesn't affect me personally. You are somebody else's problem.
But this is very spiteful, and this makes me wonder

(12:30):
about you know what kind of spite stories you guys have? Sure,
and so that's what I'm gonna go fishing for right now.
A good spikee story from you. You did it, somebody
did it to you, you watched it happen. I don't
care what. Just give us some good stories of spiteful behavior.
Eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty. You
can call us there. You can text us at that number.

(12:50):
You can text us at three five sixty five one
as well.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
I like this guy's spite story because he's it's spiteful,
but for good. You know, he's got to that sanctuary now.
Now he's got a little bad friends and that's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
He's helping out the back community.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Suah, Yeah, so I'm good for him.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Well, you know, it really is interesting because you know,
I have a homeowner's association where I live, and I
just hope that I never run a foul of them.
And I don't want any trouble. And I don't think
there's going to be any trouble, you know, don't start nothing,
won't be nothing. Yeah, okay, So I'm good about cutting

(13:32):
my grass. I mean know how tired I am about that.
I keep my garbage cans in my garage. You know,
everything's nice and tidy. There's no trouble.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yeah, there's no trouble.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
There's no trouble. But you know, the thing about homeowner
associations is if there is trouble, I mean, they can
they can really make things uncomfortable for you.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
I'll find it.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, so I get it. And this guy taunting them
and being spiteful, I don't know. I mean, they might
escalate it. Maybe they can't do anything about his bat
sanctuary that you put out there, but they might find
some other, some other angle. And here's the other thing
about it too. Here's the other thing about so the
homeowner's association. It's a double edged sword because if you
if you want to live in a place that's well

(14:13):
maintained in pleasing to the eye, sure they'll maintain that. Yes,
that's good. You know, you're not gonna have a bunch
of broken down vehicles all over in the yard. You're
not gonna have chickens running around everywhere, dogs tied by
the neck, barking all night. None of that's gonna happen. Conversely,
they might be sticklers like my I have an uncle

(14:34):
who lives in a homeowners association and you're not allowed
to park a vehicle outside of your house if it's
more than five years old. Staw right, So that's where
they can go to kill it. They consider it an
eye sore. They consider it an eyesore if it's that old. Yeah.
So it's stuff like that. Nothing I know, believe me.
I know. So Again, my God depends on the oh

(14:57):
and how they handle things. But uh, how can you
handle things? Is what we want to know. Let's do
fun with spike work coming up next. Let's get to
your calls talking about spike work here this morning, after
a guy made headlines going on TikTok and telling his
story about how he got back at his homeowners association

(15:19):
for finding him fifty dollars for having exposed garbage cans
by putting a bat sanctuary in his yard. What you
have to met is checkmate. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
I like it a lot.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Well played, Yeah, well played. Okay, So let's see what
you guys have going on. You were on the Jack
and Nikki show. Hello, Hi.

Speaker 5 (15:42):
I have this fightful story of probably one hundred years
to best one. So I was doing ballroom dancing professionally
while my dad married a ballet dancer who was very famous,
and my mom got so jealous that she kidnapped me
and my son to Canada for six years, where I

(16:06):
lost all my body mats. She put me on bipolar medications.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh my uh.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
And I ended up that I did actually have by bower,
I have add And what what ends up happening is
that we call will be recorded. Barely escaped, we have
barely barely. I want court, but I have I now
really don't have fibromyalgy, and my mom steels very sviteful.
She still wants wants my dad's money.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
I good lord, Oh my god. Wow, that is a
terrible story of spite.

Speaker 5 (16:45):
I wanted to Sarah that this morning, wow my way
to school.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Wow. Well you know what, I'm glad that things ultimately
worked out for you and you're doing okay, now right,
we're better now better better.

Speaker 5 (16:58):
Well, when COVID came, we had to come back to
Canada because of my carnic pane. And then during COVID,
my mom, being a real estate agent, annoyed and harass
is a supervisor of the apartment building and we ended
up have to move to a.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Friend's house because your mom annoyed and harassed the supervisor
of the apartment building. Your mom sounds she sounds very pleasant.
She sounds like an interesting woman, let's say, a colorful woman.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
Well, hey, we're glad you called. It's good to hear
from you. Thanks so much, good to hear it's from you.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
Two.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Bye bye, lovely, lovely woman. She sounded like sweetheart. And wow,
that is not what I was anticipating. But this is
the beauty of live local radio, unscripted, unrehearsed radio. You know, yes,
inspired by actual events. Timely Nikki as if ripped from

(17:59):
today's deadlines. You don't know what you're gonna get, You
really don't. And that was a truly bizarre story. And wow,
her mom sounds like she's just something else.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
I'm waiting for the Lifetime movie now.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, I'm really intrigued by people who are that far
off the rocker. Yeah, and I don't know if you
guys heard that, but right in the middle of that
conversation there were some sounded like recording saying this call
will be recorded. Well, yeah, and I think that was
probably her mom probably, Yeah, that's my guess. I had
to guess.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
The Jack and Nikki Show two wv AQ.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
One of the things we do on this show is
try to solve mysteries. And there's no bigger mystery than love.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yes, yes, that's right. And a man known simply as
Jordan thinks that he has the question that you can
pose to any man that will tell you everything you
need to know about that man. He calls it the
ultimate question.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
I am actually a little nervous about this. Okay, all right,
what is it?

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Well, first of all, let's get you guys involved. Eight
eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty. The number
to the show triple eight, triple seven sixty six forty.
Call us text us at that number. You can also
text us at three five sixty five one. I'm curious
about everybody's take on this, Ladies, are you buying this fellas.

(19:28):
Do you think it's a bunch of nonsense? Nikki? Could
you apply this to Dave?

Speaker 3 (19:32):
We're gonna find out.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
We're gonna find out. So here it is. This is
Jordan explaining the question. Listen very carefully.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
You want to truly know who your man is, ask
him this question. This works every time. If he had
to choose, would you rather be a cowboy, a pirate,
or samurai? I'll tell you everything you.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Need to know a cowboy, a pirate, or a samurai.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
That's right, Wow, she was carefully.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Okay, now interesting, Here is the thinking behind this? Okay, okay.
He says that if the man says samurai, that means
that he is an honorable man, sticks to the rules
and upholds them. Yes, lawful and good. That's a samurai.

(20:23):
If he says cowboy, he's rough around the edges. He
stands for what he believes in, and he doesn't mind
speaking up. He's a good man. If he says pirate.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Yeah, I'm nervous about.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
The pirate scumback. No, No, that's not no. If he
says pirate, he does what he wants, what he wants.
He's chaotic but good.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:50):
Yeah, So we've got like a lawful neutral, we've got
the chaotic good, and what was the samurai?

Speaker 2 (20:57):
The samurai is lawful good, lawful, The cowboy is neutral good,
and the pirate is chaotic good. Uh huh? Is anybody
buying this bunch of on sense?

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (21:10):
I can see it eight eight eight seven, seven, seven
sixty six forty or textas at that number, or three
five sixty five to one. I think the problem that
we have here is all of these results in the
guy being a good man. You need an option where
he's scum, right, you need an option that reveals yeah,
weak character, Yeah, you know something? Yeah, because these are

(21:33):
all good for the guy, no matter what you ask him.
He's he's good. He's a good guy, no matter what.
And we all know that that's not true. So I
think that's kind of a hole in his logic here.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Okay, yeah, Yeah, He's.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Got to be an option that if he says that
you need to get out of it, right.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
Which one do you think would be the most appropriate
for a not good guy? H?

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Well, I don't know. I mean this is how he's
got broken down.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Any of them, could you know, be corrupt?

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Well?

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Sure, which one do you think Dave would like to be.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Oh gosh, m hm.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
Well, before you even gave me the rundown of the characters,
I picked samurai for him in my brain.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
But I'm about to text him and sew.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Is that because he's always wearing a robe and has
a sword with him everywhere he goes? Is that?

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (22:25):
The rope thing, yeah yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:26):
And the sword thing? Hey? Please? Where do you want
to go for dinner? Have bot you grill? Would you
rather be a cowboy, a pirate, or a samurai? Sounds
like more of a question you would ask an eight
year old boy than an adult man.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
Right.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
I want to be a cowboy when I'm all finished
being a fireman, right, and then I'm gonna be a
space man. Okay, you know what, You're not going to
do any of those things.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
And what's your favorite dinosaury?

Speaker 4 (22:56):
Right?

Speaker 2 (22:57):
Right? Asking as you know man is faceavorite dinosaur? Would
I think be about as useful as asking him this question.
We do have some reaction coming in on the text line, Nikki,
would you like to field the text?

Speaker 3 (23:09):
Oh gosh, I don't have the text line pulled up.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
I'm sorry, Okay, then I will field the text says
this text or men are from Mars and women are
from Venus on Mars. There are no cowboys, samurais or pirates.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
Well, you're just sucking the fun out of the game,
aren't you.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
You can't really argue with that logic. That's that's a
solid points that's a solid point text pirate, cowboy, samurai,
guy that works in it.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Okay, I like the last option.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
I think that should be one of the options.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
I think it should be too.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yeah, what would you uh, what would you call a
guy works in it? Like on the Yeah, I mean
if the if the samurai is honorable and a cowboy
is rough, and a pirate does what he wants, then
if you tossed it in there.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Is it wrong that I want it to be chaotic evil?

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Not necessarily not necessarily reliable nerd? How about reliable nerds? Okay,
you could do that, Okay, not that there's anything wrong
with that. Nerds run the world, now, yeah, that's the thing.
That's the beauty of the technical revolution. Yeah right. It
used to be that nerds would be pushed down a ridicule. Sure,

(24:33):
now nerds own everything. Sure, nerds are running the show. Okay,
So if if you want to have anything in life,
you better be a nerd or buddy up to a nerd. Okay,
this is what we've learned here. All right. Well, I
I think when I look at this, the question that
I have is a simple one. Is there really any

(24:55):
one question that you can ask anybody that will tell
you ever everything about them? And I think the answer
to that is no.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
No, there's no. People are very layered.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
We are onions just like ogress.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
That's right, Yeah, yeah, I mean people. People are complicated
and layered, as you said, and people have a lot
of different takes on a lot of different situations. There's
really no one question that you could just go up
and ask anybody and go, well, I know everything I
need to know about them. I bet you don't. So

(25:31):
if you're taking this too seriously, don't go and blow
up your relationship over this. Okay. If you if you're
with a man and you ask him this question and
you really want him to say Samurai and he says cowboy,
don't go file for divorce. Okay, that's that's taking it
too far. Yeah yeah, yeah, that would make you, you know,

(25:51):
kind of unhinged a little bet, yeah, a little bit. Okay,
all right, Well, there you go.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
Wait, which one are you?

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Do?

Speaker 3 (26:00):
You pick one?

Speaker 4 (26:00):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (26:00):
No, I didn't pick one Cowboy probably yeah, okay, that
makes sense. Yeah, probably so. And it's not just because
I never washed my pants. I mean, there are other reasons.
This is really really disturbing. And I don't get disturbed easily,

(26:20):
but this is even putting me off. It's out of
Barton County, Kansas, where you know, when you think of Kansas,
think of wholesome Midwestern values, you think of good, solid people,
not this. It's a story of a babysitter who was
putting the children to bed, several kids, and one of

(26:42):
the kids told her that there was a monster under
his bed. Okay, okay, and you know their kids. Hey,
there's a monster under my bed.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, sure, I'll leave the night light on for you.
Just try to sleep, right. Well, the babysitter looked under
the bed and saul a twenty seven year old man
hiding there. What Yeah, that's right, there was a guy
under this kid's bed. So this twenty seven year old man,
when he was spotted quote fled from the home. I imagine

(27:16):
awkwardly crawling out from under the bed. As she stood
there saying sir, what are you doing? Excuse me? Pardon
me if I could just excuse me. So, you know,
it takes him a second to guy from under there.
He got up and I'm also going to assume dusted
himself off. Sure, and then he ran from the home. Well,
the babysitter called the police and they showed up, and

(27:38):
they found that this guy used to live in that
house and kept coming back to it, and they actually
had an order preventing him from being on that property.
What yeah, because he kept coming back.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
This wasn't the first time he'd been.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
There, apparently not. Now, Wow, So I have a lot
of confusion here. For artis, shouldn't the the parents have
told the babysitter, Hey, listen, you should be aware that
a guy who used to live here keeps coming back,
So keep an eye out for him. Number one? And
number two, how about changing the locks on the doors?
How to get it right? Okay, Well, he did get

(28:17):
away that day, but the police caught up with him
the next day and he was arrested quote after a
short foot chase.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
Sure, yeah, yeah, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
That's upsetting.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
It's really it is nightmare fuel. I mean, the very
ocean that you're putting your kid to bed and they're like, Mommy,
there's a monster under my bed. And you look under
there and some guy's like, hello.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
There's an actual person there.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Got a top head on. He's drinking tea.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Hello. I hate this.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
This is I'm telling you, it's very, very weird. But
here's the good news in all of this, Uh is
you know he didn't Yeah, he didn't attack anybody. He didn't.
He didn't, that's true. Do any He just ran Yeah,
And apparently the guy has some affinity for the home,
like there's just something about that place that.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
He really likes, just cannot stay away.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, he's like, you know, we moved into a new
place and I just don't like it as much as
this house. Do you mind if I come back and
sleep under your kids beds right this way, mister weirdo
and tell guilty char
