Speaker 1 (00:01):
If you're listening to the Jack and Nikki 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):
Let's talk about drunk people and in particular, can you
trust what they're saying to you? Studio and text lines
are open eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty.
You can call us, you can text us and also
text us at three five sixty five to one. And
this actually begins with the text and it was kind
(00:38):
of a long text, So I'm just gonna put a
nutshell here. This guy essentially said that his girlfriend, while intoxicated,
said some things okay, admitted to some things okay, and
then sobered up and was like, no, I was just drunk,
that didn't happen. And so then he's talking to his
dope friends and they're like, yeah, I think that did happen,
(01:00):
and I think she just got drunk and admitted it.
So my question to you guys is this, if someone
tells you something when they're drunk, like admitting to something
that they did, or revealing how they feel about something,
maybe about you or about other people whatever. Are they
being honest because the alcohol has lowered their inhibitions so
(01:22):
they could Yeah, that's right. So you know, normally things
that they would contain, things that they would keep within themselves,
things that they dare not speak of. Those things come
tumbling out because the alcohol has loosened them up. Or
are they simply drunk and making up stuff? That is
(01:46):
the question. And I think this is an interesting one
because my mom used to accuse my dad of quote,
getting drunk and making up stuff all the time. Oh yeah,
because he would say things about her and she would
deny those things, and we would say, well, why would
he say to these things? Well, he just got drunk
and imagined it. He got drunk and imagined it.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
You have very active imagining.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Where's your dad? I don't know. I saw him take
a couple of bottles of beer and head down to
the imaginarium. I imagine. Then they're making up stuff. Sure,
but it turned out that you know, the stuff he
said was actually true, don't you. But that doesn't necessarily
mean that it's always true. So how do you handle this?
If somebody's drunk and they tell you something, do you
tend to think it's because the lips have been loosened
(02:32):
up by the alcohol. Or do you think maybe they're
just drunken out of their mind? Hmm, what do you think,
Nikki Drakes?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I think it probably. I don't know. I would like
to believe that.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
I could believe it, just because that would be more dramatic,
you know, that would just be that would cause chaos
if all the things I've heard from drunken lips were
it was true.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
But it probably depends on the person. That's what I think.
It depends on the person.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I see. What do you think, Well, I think it
gives you a good starting point. I think you should
hear them out and if they're saying things that are
within the realm of reason, launch an investigation. They have
feelings for somebody, okay, you can look into that. They
cheated on you, They know somebody who did cheat with
(03:28):
somebody else, Okay, you can look into that. If they
say I built a motorcycle out of wood and flew
it to the moon, you can safely assume that's the
alcohol talking and there's really nothing that you need to investigate.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I think that's a bigger investigation.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
It depends on the claim, would be the main bullet
point of my presentation. All right, eight eight eight seven
seven seven sixty six forty call us you could text
us there three five sixty five to one. Alcohol truth
serum or delusion juice. It's Jack and nicky. With the
exciting conclusion of alcohol truth serum or delusion juice, Let's
(04:08):
go to the textual line with your analysis of the question.
If someone tells you something when they're drunk, are they
being honest because the alcohol has lowered their inhibitions, or
are they simply drunk and making up stuff says this
text or I've always believed that alcohol brings out the
honesty in someone simply because they don't care. When they
(04:29):
get to a certain point. The regrets sets in after
the fact, and now they want to backtrack. Oh no,
And that's what we saw with the original text. He
said that his girlfriend said some things and then sobered
up the next day and was like, no, I was drunk, right, yeah, okay.
(04:53):
Text un confessions can confirm suspicions. For example, your girlfriend
seem's flirty with one of your friends, gets drunk and
tells you that she thinks he's cute.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Mm hm okay, I mean that's a suspicion confirmed to me,
I think that's yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yeah, Okay, it is a truth serum, is what we're
discovering on the text.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Line that honestly does seem to be the case. I
mean a lot of times, the drunk people I've been
around have said things that you kind of suspect it anyway,
Like right.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Right, Okay, I've been around some drunk people who just
make up stuff, and they know they're making up stuff.
I know they're making up stuff, but it's hilarious because
people because they're these people are intoxicated, they're like, oh, well,
alcohol is truth serum, so they're not making up stuff.
This is these are truths, but it's actually all fabricated.
(05:50):
So I guess my experience with drunks is that it's
a it's just fun in games and it's all made up.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Okay, if you thought Dave had a crush on one
of your friends and he got drunk and told you
that he.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Did, no, I'd believe it.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
You would believe that.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah, I believe it.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
But I have a group of friends that whenever they
were intoxicated, it was just all made up fun and games.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
But it was obviously made up stuff though, like just
ridiculous stuff or was it plausible stuff?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
It was plausible stuff, But I mean I knew the truth, Okay,
So like I know what was going on.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
People that I know, I generally either know things about
them that other people don't know, or I have my suspicions.
And then if they get drunk and they just flat
out tell me these things, then that's kind of like
this text here where somebody said it can confirm suspicions
because you kind of know sure, and they just have
never said it, and then they get drunk and they
(06:50):
just blurt it out. So there's that. But I wanted
to end here. I think this is I love this,
this last text. You ready for this? Listen to this.
This is something that I think should be maybe sewn
into a pillow or placed in a sign over a
door as you are walking out of a bar. Okay,
(07:11):
this is maybe a tattoo. Okay, here it is a
drunk mind speaks sober thoughts. There you go. It releases
that internal monologue you blurted out busted The.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Jack and Nikki Show one two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Time to talk financial secrets, in particular married people hiding
money from each other? Can this ever really be a
good thing? Studio and text lines are opened eight eight
eight seven seven seven sixty six forty call us text
(07:49):
us at that number. Of course, you can text us
at three five sixty five to one as well. It's
a survey by Yahoo Finance revealing that forty seven percent
of people in relationship are keeping a secret money stash.
That's interesting, Yes it is. That's about half. Yeah, yeah,
(08:09):
about half? Okay. Forty five percent believe they know everything
about their partner's financial situation. Many of those people are mistaken, right,
A lot of those are mistaken. Now, I want to
break this down because I have some theories that I
think I think I can reason my way through. I mean,
(08:32):
I don't have any hard evidence on this, but it
just seems logical to me. I'll tell you what I'm thinking,
and you, guys, tell me where you come in on this.
First of all, one more little fun fact here. The
average amount in these secret savings accounts is about eighty
six hundred dollars. Okay, okay, So you're married, You've got
(08:54):
nearly nine grand salted away in a secret account that
your spouse doesn't know anything about all right. Interesting, Now,
in my opinion, there is a distinction between having separate
bank accounts and having secret bank accounts.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yes, okay, that's true.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
All right. To me, Separate says I don't really trust
you with all of our money, So I'm going to
hang onto an account over here, just as a backup plan,
something that only I have control of, that only I
have access to, because I want to just have this
as a safety net. Maybe you're not great at controlling
(09:39):
all of the finances. I don't quite trust you. Interesting, Okay, Well,
I mean, doesn't that make sense.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
I mean, that's one way to look at it.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Well, I mean, yeah, wouldn't that be the primary reason
that you're trying to hold onto some money, because if
you put it in a joint account with somebody who
just spends it recklessly, then you're both broke. At least
one of you can have some money saved, right, Okay,
that's a separate account, but a secret account to me,
the messages I'm funding my escape plans, oh right, because
(10:08):
they don't even know that you have it. Right right now,
as I dig into these numbers a little bit more,
twenty seven percent of people have admitted that their secret
savings account is just in case the marriage breaks up
and they need to bounce. So that is I believe
(10:29):
some evidence for my theory. Yeah, but I think generally speaking,
I think you can make that separation between separate accounts
and secret accounts. Yeah yeah, so to me that makes sense.
What do you guys think, Nikki Drake?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
I mean, we we have separate accounts, but we know
what's in the accounts, like you know, we're aware of everything.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Is just separate accounts and no secret accounts.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
As far as I know, there's no secret account.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Dave's driving to work right now, smiling, going. She has
no idea, she hasn't figured it out, right, Yeah right,
he's got he's got a backpack with a bunch of
cash in it, passed your seat for some reason. He's
got an airplane ticket to Zurich. Okay, yeah, I mean
I this is where I'm coming in on this. I
(11:18):
think if if you, if you find out that your
your spouse has secret money stashed away, I don't know
how that could be good. I don't. I don't. I
can't imagine the scenario where you would hear about this,
learn about this, and go this is good news for me.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
The only thing I can think of, the only thing
I can think of is, Hey, I'm going to open
a secret savings account. I'm gonna funnel some money in there,
and then this will fund the surprise trip we're gonna
take or the surprise gift I'm buying, you know, like,
that's the only thing I can think of.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, something like that. But that would be
like a short term thing and right, yeah, and probably
a smaller amount of money. Right, Yeah, that makes sense.
That's a good point because when you're married and you're
trying to say, shop for Christmas presents for somebody or
birthday presents or something, and you have joint accounts, there's
(12:13):
no hiding it from Yeah, they're gonna see it. They're
gonna know. So there's that. There is that. That's a
good point. All right. What do you guys think here?
Questions for you? Have you ever had a secret account?
Why did you have a secret account? And what would
you do right now if you discovered that your spouse
has a secret account? And bonus question after hearing today's show,
(12:34):
when you get home this evening, will you start with
the probing questions of your spouse about secret accounts. Right, Okay,
is your spouse saulting away secret cash something? Maybe you
need to talk about this evening over dinner. According to
Yahoo Finance, forty seven percent of people in a relationship
(12:56):
are currently hiding secret money. Now, I made the argument
that I think there's a pretty big distinction between separate
accounts that you're both aware of and having an account
that is being hidden from you by your spouse that
you don't even know is there or how much is
in it. To me that that is a big red flag.
(13:16):
That's I just can't imagine a scenario where that is
a good thing for you. Right, Yeah, it seems like
they're already maybe one foot out the door. Let's go
to the studio lines triple eight, triple seven, sixty six
forty you are on the Jack and Niki Show, which
you got for us.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Hey, good more and well, I've read into the situation before.
My significant other had for the longest time, had like
ten thousand dollars dashed away that I didn't even know about,
and her when she finally admitted that she had, her
reason was because if her and I were to ever
(13:56):
break up, she wanted something to fall back on, just
in case, m M M. I I find that I
think that's considered financial infidelity in my opinion, Yes, And
I believe the reason why she finally admitted is because
during that time I'm perceiving, I was stressing out about
(14:19):
helping her pay off her debts and stuff like that.
And I asked her, well, why did you you know,
why did you hide.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
This from me?
Speaker 5 (14:27):
She said, well, for one, uh, you know, in case
we break up as something to fall back on. And two,
if I told you that I had this money, you
would tell me to go pay off.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
The car right now.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
We're still together.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
We worked that out, okay, okay.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Yeah, we we we worked that out just communicating with
each other. I told her exactly how I felt and
how unfair was that I'm stressing over getting these debts
paid off, helping her out and finding out that she's
got all the money stay yeah, and yeah, okay, I
would have said, oh, yeah, ten thousand dollars great.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Well, and that would have been fair for you to
say that, because you know, why should she keep her
money and you use your money to pay her debts.
That's not fair to you. How did you find out
that she had this money?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Well?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
She admitted it because we were in the middle conversation
trying to figure out financial or financial situation and going
through going through some of the bills and the car
payments as such. And that's when she finally said, hey, listen,
I had to tell you something I have over tens
(15:40):
thouts saved up. Okay, and then she gave me her reasons.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
All right, we'll tell you what. I got a roll.
But the good news there is that she came clean
unsolicited and told you. It's better that way than if
you had somehow discovered it and then had to confront her.
At least she did eventually do the right thing.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
I agree with that one. That's good, which is why
we don't work things out.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
That's good. Yeah, that makes sense. Our man gott a role.
Appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Take care.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Thanks. Yeah. Her deciding to just come forward on her own,
I think that really that's good. Yeah, that certainly helps us.
He said, that's the reason they were able to hold
it together, because there's hiding and getting caught, right, which
that's two different things. Yeah, and then there's hiding and revealing. Okay,
(16:29):
so she did the reveal. They're good to go. Nikki
Drake what are you seeing on the textual lines?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
On text line?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I have one, but it's more of a surprise account
I have set up from my paycheck.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Money that goes in and I don't check on it often.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
I have notification set up they'll let me know if
any money moves, but I only look at it.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Maybe every three to four months.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
So when it's time to go on vacation, it's a
pleasant surprise to see how much is in there. If
he knew about it, he would want to buy stupid
stuff with it.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
But don't they use it to go on vacation. Where
does he think the vacation money's coming from the vacation fairy?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Right? I mean that's all well and good until they
actually use that money. Then if he has any sense
at always going, well, where'd you get this money?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Right? The vacation vary it?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Right? You know? I have something very similar to that.
You do a four to one k oh, yeah, very similar. Yeah.
Money just goes in and I check it where it is,
I leave it alone, right, Yeah? All right? Please continue?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Oh gosh, oh, my husband. Me and my husband have
separate accounts, one joint for bills. Basically, if I want
to order stuff from TikTok shop with my money.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
And my bills are paid. It avoids an argument. There
you go, So, yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
It does. Yeah, okay, very good, very good. We have
yet to hear from anyone with a secret account though,
that is nefarious. Oh do you have one?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
I do have a taste here. Yes, yep.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
He cheated while we had a six month old stay
at home mom with zero resources, and I needed to
be able to leave eventually, so set up a secret account.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
But but what happened did they leave eventually? Are they
still together? What did you use the money to get out?
You've got a text back and let us know. Was
that something that happened in the past and you used
that money to leave? Or are you still in the relationship?
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah, finish the story. Yeah, I finished the story. Let's
go to your calls and texts talking about secret bank
accounts in marriages. Secret and separate two different things. Separate
everyone knows, everybody's on board with yep, secret only you
(18:44):
only you know, or maybe only you don't know, right,
Maybe they've got the secret account again, ask some questions
tonight at dinner, Nikki. Before we get to the calls, texts,
please have two updates.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Okay, yeah, okay, So the surprise account, the vacation fairy account.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Yes, yes, they texted back.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
In and they just tell him, hey, it's a surprise.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
So when they go on vacation and she has this
money that he didn't know she had or where it
came from, and he says, how are we paying for this?
And she says surprise, And he says.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Okay, all right, well it's a good surprise. I wouldn't
question it.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Let's just go get some suntan lotion going out to
the beach. Yeah, yeah, I would question that. If Jessica
started pulling out ten thousand dollars every summer to cover
our vacations and I didn't know where it came from,
I would say, where did you get this money?
Speaker 3 (19:43):
It's happening.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Yeah, yeah, interesting, And I have an update on the
stay at home mom with the six month old. Okay,
six years later, I finally have built a career and
I'm getting out in the middle of the divorce process.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I couldn't be happier.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Okay, there we go. Well, so save the money. Yeah,
well I mean that, boy, that's a spot. Yeah, that
is a tough spot to be in. Somebody cheats on you.
You're a stay at home mom. You're not working, you know, yeah,
you and you want to get out of that. You
don't want to be just stuck there, so yeah, you
got to find a way out. It sounds like they
(20:20):
did one war here. I wanted to get to this.
Guy texted in and said, my parents are so old?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
How old are they?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
They don't go shopping anymore. So they give me birthday
money and Christmas money and I hide it so my
wife doesn't plan projects for that money that was originally
intended for me. Oh oh good, right, Oh that's that's
pretty funny. All right, let's finish up here. Somebody's been
on hold for a few minutes. Thanks for holding guy,
(20:52):
Would you want to say so it's.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
Important to have separate accounts, especially in the modern day
and age, because exactly that just in case things don't
work out. M h, I've been a part of that.
You got to have a kind of an escape plan.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Well, you romantic devil? You are you married? No?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Okay, Well that's easy to say when you're not married.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Was that?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah? But I mean it's it's pretty it is easy
to say that though, as a single guy, maybe once
you get married, you know, you fall in love with somebody,
you're convinced it's forever. The thinking sometimes tends to change
when you are struck by love. Let's say, yeah, I
could see that. Yeah yeah, I mean, when you're green, nicky,
(21:39):
it's entirely possible. He meets somebody, they fall in love,
and he just tosses this aside and he's like, Eh,
we're never going to split up. I want me a
separate account, I mean, and then ten years later he's pennylessening, sane,
living under a bridge, trying to play a record with
a peanut. Okay, Nikki thoughts.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
I mean, I think there's pros and cons to both things.
I like having my own account, just, you know, just
to have my own account. And like I said, surprises
like if I go buy something for Dave, like it's
going to be a surprise.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
He's not gonna be like, oh, well, what'd you go
buy here? What was this website was going on here?
Speaker 4 (22:16):
You know?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
So let me ask a question with you guys having
separate accounts, so you you talk to each other so
that you know collectively how much money you have as
a couple.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Yeah, and we sit down and okay, we have like
a whole thing for the and everything.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, okay, but I mean so that way, yeah, that
way when you're talking and he's saying, I have this
in my accounts, and you say, I have this in
my accounts, and then you know, okay, as a couple
we have this amount of money together. All right, Well
that that works. Then all right, sir? Are you on
board with that?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
I'm on board with that. Yeah, that's pretty smart.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
All right, very good. Do you have a girlfriend?
Speaker 6 (22:49):
I do?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Long term? How long? Sir?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Oh? No, she took him out, sir.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah, he was taken out by his long term girlfriend
who right now she slipped up behind him and the
rag with a chlor fill on it over his head. Okay,
well it was good to hear from you guys.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
That probably happened.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
No, they're still there. They don't disappear and reappear in
the middle of a conversation. How long have you been
with this woman?
Speaker 6 (23:16):
I like two and a half going on three years?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Okay, and you guys, are you talking about getting married? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Yeah, that's the plan. Eventually.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Have you told her your planned to keep your finances
separated because you don't think it'll work out.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
About that anyway. It's for like many reasons. Yeah, it's
good to have a joint account for the bills and
the things you want to do together, but also having
your own money is pretty important.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, I'm just curious about how she feels about that
when you say to her, look, you know, I think
we should keep separate accounts because this is probably not
going to work out.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
Well, you don't market it out right, I know you.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Market market it, right. I just assume she's going to
read into it that way. I know, like we Jessica
and I were getting married. If she said that to me,
I'd be like, so you have doubts, that's all. So yeah,
that's fair. All right man, I'm glad you call it.
Have a good day. Yeah, he's right. You don't market
it that way. You you really have to be clear
(24:12):
on your messaging. You got to tap dance around that.
If you're going to marry somebody, and before you marry them,
you want to have the conversation where you say, let's
keep our finances separated just in case this doesn't work out.
That's you don't say it that way, but no, that's
what you're thinking, and I think they know that that's
what you're thinking. Yeah, no, if they have any sense.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
I would like for you to be able to keep
your financial independence.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Uh huh see, there you go. That's marketing.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
It is.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
That's marketing because no one who is getting ready to
get married wants to hear the person they're marrying say
but just in case things don't work out. You know,
I often gently sob when I think about the current
state of society, and then that sobbing turns into laughter
(25:04):
because while we are hip deep in decay, the riot
is pretty entertaining. What in the world is going on?
Don't quem giant freak. These are all terrible ideas part
of the family tradition. Wow, just like that show Big Brother.
Don't see that on Animal Planet. To be honest, I've
never seen such dysfunction. You're gonna see some dysfunction right now.
(25:29):
This is really good stuff. It's the story of a
quote unquote man who is being described as a male
Karen or Maren if you will, marin a Maren, yes,
who went to a cell phone repair shop and demanded
a new battery for free, and the employee tried to
explain to him that they need to verify what the
(25:51):
actual issue was with his battery and white failed and
so forth. They need to do some testing to make
sure that it falls in line with their warranty coverage,
which is.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Fair, right, sure that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah, like, I have a warranty on this. Okay, Well,
let's confirm this and verify and then we'll move forward. Yeah. Well,
this guy wasn't having it and naturally was recording and
then you can hear him start to flip out and
smash stuff at the end of his encounter with the
guy at the counter. Maren, smash check this out. We
(26:28):
have to verify that it's bad before we can do warranty.
I'm telling you it's bad. It's been on a charger
since the week before last week. Okay, but we don't
know if that charger could be bad or you know,
it would be something going on, So we have to
verify that it's bad first. Well, unacceptable, it's been on
a charger for over a week and it will not
take the charge.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Okay, that's fine, but we have to verify that. We
have to verify that as the bad battery before we
can warrant you, and then we.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Can then I don't have that kind of time.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
I need a good battery to buy a new one.
I don't need to buy a new one, I need
to replace.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I told you it's been on charger for over a week.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
People are fascinating to me.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
And guy was being so recent would just be like, hey,
you just verify.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
This could be a bad charger, right, you just need
to replace the charger, not the actual.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Battery, right. And the guy's reaction to that is, I
told you it was on the charger, And he's like, right,
but we need to make sure the chargers are working properly.
I told you it was on the charger. You're not
hearing any more. Maybe the charger is the problem. Just
figure it out. And then he says that he doesn't
have the time to wait on them to verify. Well,
(27:45):
you know, that sounds like a you problem. That's not
their fault. I don't understand why so many people just
cannot follow basic logic. I mean, they're not being unreasonable,
they're just confirming. And then if they confirm, then yeah,
and he's probably thinking, oh, they're trying to screw me.
They don't want to pay the warranty. Yeah, maybe maybe,
(28:06):
but they have to be thorough.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
But they still have to Yeah, they would still steps
to follow.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Be foolish to just hand out money on a warranty
claim without verifying it. I mean, how stupid would that
be for them to do that? Right all for just
meet him in the middle, dude, and don't go in
there and start smashing stuff.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
This is one of those people that runs on the
field and punches an umpire or rather or something during
a child's sports game, right, yes, yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
That is correct. In fact, that's why he didn't have time,
because he had to get down to the field and
punch an official
If you're listening to the Jack and Nikki Show podcast

Joined Jack and Nicky Live weekday mornings from six to

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Let's talk about drunk people and in particular, can you
trust what they're saying to you? Studio and text lines
are open eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty.
You can call us, you can text us and also
text us at three five sixty five to one. And
this actually begins with the text and it was kind
(00:38):
of a long text, So I'm just gonna put a
nutshell here. This guy essentially said that his girlfriend, while intoxicated,
said some things okay, admitted to some things okay, and
then sobered up and was like, no, I was just drunk,
that didn't happen. And so then he's talking to his
dope friends and they're like, yeah, I think that did happen,
(01:00):
and I think she just got drunk and admitted it.
So my question to you guys is this, if someone
tells you something when they're drunk, like admitting to something
that they did, or revealing how they feel about something,
maybe about you or about other people whatever. Are they
being honest because the alcohol has lowered their inhibitions so
(01:22):
they could Yeah, that's right. So you know, normally things
that they would contain, things that they would keep within themselves,
things that they dare not speak of. Those things come
tumbling out because the alcohol has loosened them up. Or
are they simply drunk and making up stuff? That is
(01:46):
the question. And I think this is an interesting one
because my mom used to accuse my dad of quote,
getting drunk and making up stuff all the time. Oh yeah,
because he would say things about her and she would
deny those things, and we would say, well, why would
he say to these things? Well, he just got drunk
and imagined it. He got drunk and imagined it.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
You have very active imagining.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Where's your dad? I don't know. I saw him take
a couple of bottles of beer and head down to
the imaginarium. I imagine. Then they're making up stuff. Sure,
but it turned out that you know, the stuff he
said was actually true, don't you. But that doesn't necessarily
mean that it's always true. So how do you handle this?
If somebody's drunk and they tell you something, do you
tend to think it's because the lips have been loosened
(02:32):
up by the alcohol. Or do you think maybe they're
just drunken out of their mind? Hmm, what do you think,
Nikki Drakes?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I think it probably. I don't know. I would like
to believe that.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
I could believe it, just because that would be more dramatic,
you know, that would just be that would cause chaos
if all the things I've heard from drunken lips were
it was true.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
But it probably depends on the person. That's what I think.
It depends on the person.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I see. What do you think, Well, I think it
gives you a good starting point. I think you should
hear them out and if they're saying things that are
within the realm of reason, launch an investigation. They have
feelings for somebody, okay, you can look into that. They
cheated on you, They know somebody who did cheat with
(03:28):
somebody else, Okay, you can look into that. If they
say I built a motorcycle out of wood and flew
it to the moon, you can safely assume that's the
alcohol talking and there's really nothing that you need to investigate.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I think that's a bigger investigation.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
It depends on the claim, would be the main bullet
point of my presentation. All right, eight eight eight seven
seven seven sixty six forty call us you could text
us there three five sixty five to one. Alcohol truth
serum or delusion juice. It's Jack and nicky. With the
exciting conclusion of alcohol truth serum or delusion juice, Let's
(04:08):
go to the textual line with your analysis of the question.
If someone tells you something when they're drunk, are they
being honest because the alcohol has lowered their inhibitions, or
are they simply drunk and making up stuff says this
text or I've always believed that alcohol brings out the
honesty in someone simply because they don't care. When they
(04:29):
get to a certain point. The regrets sets in after
the fact, and now they want to backtrack. Oh no,
And that's what we saw with the original text. He
said that his girlfriend said some things and then sobered
up the next day and was like, no, I was drunk, right, yeah, okay.
(04:53):
Text un confessions can confirm suspicions. For example, your girlfriend
seem's flirty with one of your friends, gets drunk and
tells you that she thinks he's cute.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Mm hm okay, I mean that's a suspicion confirmed to me,
I think that's yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yeah, Okay, it is a truth serum, is what we're
discovering on the text.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Line that honestly does seem to be the case. I
mean a lot of times, the drunk people I've been
around have said things that you kind of suspect it anyway,
Like right.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Right, Okay, I've been around some drunk people who just
make up stuff, and they know they're making up stuff.
I know they're making up stuff, but it's hilarious because
people because they're these people are intoxicated, they're like, oh, well,
alcohol is truth serum, so they're not making up stuff.
This is these are truths, but it's actually all fabricated.
(05:50):
So I guess my experience with drunks is that it's
a it's just fun in games and it's all made up.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Okay, if you thought Dave had a crush on one
of your friends and he got drunk and told you
that he.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Did, no, I'd believe it.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
You would believe that.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah, I believe it.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
But I have a group of friends that whenever they
were intoxicated, it was just all made up fun and games.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
But it was obviously made up stuff though, like just
ridiculous stuff or was it plausible stuff?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
It was plausible stuff, But I mean I knew the truth, Okay,
So like I know what was going on.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
People that I know, I generally either know things about
them that other people don't know, or I have my suspicions.
And then if they get drunk and they just flat
out tell me these things, then that's kind of like
this text here where somebody said it can confirm suspicions
because you kind of know sure, and they just have
never said it, and then they get drunk and they
(06:50):
just blurt it out. So there's that. But I wanted
to end here. I think this is I love this,
this last text. You ready for this? Listen to this.
This is something that I think should be maybe sewn
into a pillow or placed in a sign over a
door as you are walking out of a bar. Okay,
(07:11):
this is maybe a tattoo. Okay, here it is a
drunk mind speaks sober thoughts. There you go. It releases
that internal monologue you blurted out busted The.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Jack and Nikki Show one two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Time to talk financial secrets, in particular married people hiding
money from each other? Can this ever really be a
good thing? Studio and text lines are opened eight eight
eight seven seven seven sixty six forty call us text
(07:49):
us at that number. Of course, you can text us
at three five sixty five to one as well. It's
a survey by Yahoo Finance revealing that forty seven percent
of people in relationship are keeping a secret money stash.
That's interesting, Yes it is. That's about half. Yeah, yeah,
(08:09):
about half? Okay. Forty five percent believe they know everything
about their partner's financial situation. Many of those people are mistaken, right,
A lot of those are mistaken. Now, I want to
break this down because I have some theories that I
think I think I can reason my way through. I mean,
(08:32):
I don't have any hard evidence on this, but it
just seems logical to me. I'll tell you what I'm thinking,
and you, guys, tell me where you come in on this.
First of all, one more little fun fact here. The
average amount in these secret savings accounts is about eighty
six hundred dollars. Okay, okay, So you're married, You've got
(08:54):
nearly nine grand salted away in a secret account that
your spouse doesn't know anything about all right. Interesting, Now,
in my opinion, there is a distinction between having separate
bank accounts and having secret bank accounts.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yes, okay, that's true.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
All right. To me, Separate says I don't really trust
you with all of our money, So I'm going to
hang onto an account over here, just as a backup plan,
something that only I have control of, that only I
have access to, because I want to just have this
as a safety net. Maybe you're not great at controlling
(09:39):
all of the finances. I don't quite trust you. Interesting, Okay, Well,
I mean, doesn't that make sense.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
I mean, that's one way to look at it.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Well, I mean, yeah, wouldn't that be the primary reason
that you're trying to hold onto some money, because if
you put it in a joint account with somebody who
just spends it recklessly, then you're both broke. At least
one of you can have some money saved, right, Okay,
that's a separate account, but a secret account to me,
the messages I'm funding my escape plans, oh right, because
(10:08):
they don't even know that you have it. Right right now,
as I dig into these numbers a little bit more,
twenty seven percent of people have admitted that their secret
savings account is just in case the marriage breaks up
and they need to bounce. So that is I believe
(10:29):
some evidence for my theory. Yeah, but I think generally speaking,
I think you can make that separation between separate accounts
and secret accounts. Yeah yeah, so to me that makes sense.
What do you guys think, Nikki Drake?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
I mean, we we have separate accounts, but we know
what's in the accounts, like you know, we're aware of everything.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Is just separate accounts and no secret accounts.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
As far as I know, there's no secret account.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Dave's driving to work right now, smiling, going. She has
no idea, she hasn't figured it out, right, Yeah right,
he's got he's got a backpack with a bunch of
cash in it, passed your seat for some reason. He's
got an airplane ticket to Zurich. Okay, yeah, I mean
I this is where I'm coming in on this. I
(11:18):
think if if you, if you find out that your
your spouse has secret money stashed away, I don't know
how that could be good. I don't. I don't. I
can't imagine the scenario where you would hear about this,
learn about this, and go this is good news for me.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
The only thing I can think of, the only thing
I can think of is, Hey, I'm going to open
a secret savings account. I'm gonna funnel some money in there,
and then this will fund the surprise trip we're gonna
take or the surprise gift I'm buying, you know, like,
that's the only thing I can think of.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, something like that. But that would be
like a short term thing and right, yeah, and probably
a smaller amount of money. Right, Yeah, that makes sense.
That's a good point because when you're married and you're
trying to say, shop for Christmas presents for somebody or
birthday presents or something, and you have joint accounts, there's
(12:13):
no hiding it from Yeah, they're gonna see it. They're
gonna know. So there's that. There is that. That's a
good point. All right. What do you guys think here?
Questions for you? Have you ever had a secret account?
Why did you have a secret account? And what would
you do right now if you discovered that your spouse
has a secret account? And bonus question after hearing today's show,
(12:34):
when you get home this evening, will you start with
the probing questions of your spouse about secret accounts. Right, Okay,
is your spouse saulting away secret cash something? Maybe you
need to talk about this evening over dinner. According to
Yahoo Finance, forty seven percent of people in a relationship
(12:56):
are currently hiding secret money. Now, I made the argument
that I think there's a pretty big distinction between separate
accounts that you're both aware of and having an account
that is being hidden from you by your spouse that
you don't even know is there or how much is
in it. To me that that is a big red flag.
(13:16):
That's I just can't imagine a scenario where that is
a good thing for you. Right, Yeah, it seems like
they're already maybe one foot out the door. Let's go
to the studio lines triple eight, triple seven, sixty six
forty you are on the Jack and Niki Show, which
you got for us.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Hey, good more and well, I've read into the situation before.
My significant other had for the longest time, had like
ten thousand dollars dashed away that I didn't even know about,
and her when she finally admitted that she had, her
reason was because if her and I were to ever
(13:56):
break up, she wanted something to fall back on, just
in case, m M M. I I find that I
think that's considered financial infidelity in my opinion, Yes, And
I believe the reason why she finally admitted is because
during that time I'm perceiving, I was stressing out about
(14:19):
helping her pay off her debts and stuff like that.
And I asked her, well, why did you you know,
why did you hide.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
This from me?
Speaker 5 (14:27):
She said, well, for one, uh, you know, in case
we break up as something to fall back on. And two,
if I told you that I had this money, you
would tell me to go pay off.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
The car right now.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
We're still together.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
We worked that out, okay, okay.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Yeah, we we we worked that out just communicating with
each other. I told her exactly how I felt and
how unfair was that I'm stressing over getting these debts
paid off, helping her out and finding out that she's
got all the money stay yeah, and yeah, okay, I
would have said, oh, yeah, ten thousand dollars great.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Well, and that would have been fair for you to
say that, because you know, why should she keep her
money and you use your money to pay her debts.
That's not fair to you. How did you find out
that she had this money?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Well?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
She admitted it because we were in the middle conversation
trying to figure out financial or financial situation and going
through going through some of the bills and the car
payments as such. And that's when she finally said, hey, listen,
I had to tell you something I have over tens
(15:40):
thouts saved up. Okay, and then she gave me her reasons.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
All right, we'll tell you what. I got a roll.
But the good news there is that she came clean
unsolicited and told you. It's better that way than if
you had somehow discovered it and then had to confront her.
At least she did eventually do the right thing.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
I agree with that one. That's good, which is why
we don't work things out.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
That's good. Yeah, that makes sense. Our man gott a role.
Appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Take care.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Thanks. Yeah. Her deciding to just come forward on her own,
I think that really that's good. Yeah, that certainly helps us.
He said, that's the reason they were able to hold
it together, because there's hiding and getting caught, right, which
that's two different things. Yeah, and then there's hiding and revealing. Okay,
(16:29):
so she did the reveal. They're good to go. Nikki
Drake what are you seeing on the textual lines?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
On text line?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I have one, but it's more of a surprise account
I have set up from my paycheck.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Money that goes in and I don't check on it often.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
I have notification set up they'll let me know if
any money moves, but I only look at it.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Maybe every three to four months.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
So when it's time to go on vacation, it's a
pleasant surprise to see how much is in there. If
he knew about it, he would want to buy stupid
stuff with it.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
But don't they use it to go on vacation. Where
does he think the vacation money's coming from the vacation fairy?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Right? I mean that's all well and good until they
actually use that money. Then if he has any sense
at always going, well, where'd you get this money?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Right? The vacation vary it?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Right? You know? I have something very similar to that.
You do a four to one k oh, yeah, very similar. Yeah.
Money just goes in and I check it where it is,
I leave it alone, right, Yeah? All right? Please continue?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Oh gosh, oh, my husband. Me and my husband have
separate accounts, one joint for bills. Basically, if I want
to order stuff from TikTok shop with my money.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
And my bills are paid. It avoids an argument. There
you go, So, yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
It does. Yeah, okay, very good, very good. We have
yet to hear from anyone with a secret account though,
that is nefarious. Oh do you have one?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
I do have a taste here. Yes, yep.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
He cheated while we had a six month old stay
at home mom with zero resources, and I needed to
be able to leave eventually, so set up a secret account.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
But but what happened did they leave eventually? Are they
still together? What did you use the money to get out?
You've got a text back and let us know. Was
that something that happened in the past and you used
that money to leave? Or are you still in the relationship?
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah, finish the story. Yeah, I finished the story. Let's
go to your calls and texts talking about secret bank
accounts in marriages. Secret and separate two different things. Separate
everyone knows, everybody's on board with yep, secret only you
(18:44):
only you know, or maybe only you don't know, right,
Maybe they've got the secret account again, ask some questions
tonight at dinner, Nikki. Before we get to the calls, texts,
please have two updates.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Okay, yeah, okay, So the surprise account, the vacation fairy account.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Yes, yes, they texted back.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
In and they just tell him, hey, it's a surprise.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
So when they go on vacation and she has this
money that he didn't know she had or where it
came from, and he says, how are we paying for this?
And she says surprise, And he says.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Okay, all right, well it's a good surprise. I wouldn't
question it.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Let's just go get some suntan lotion going out to
the beach. Yeah, yeah, I would question that. If Jessica
started pulling out ten thousand dollars every summer to cover
our vacations and I didn't know where it came from,
I would say, where did you get this money?
Speaker 3 (19:43):
It's happening.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Yeah, yeah, interesting, And I have an update on the
stay at home mom with the six month old. Okay,
six years later, I finally have built a career and
I'm getting out in the middle of the divorce process.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I couldn't be happier.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Okay, there we go. Well, so save the money. Yeah,
well I mean that, boy, that's a spot. Yeah, that
is a tough spot to be in. Somebody cheats on you.
You're a stay at home mom. You're not working, you know, yeah,
you and you want to get out of that. You
don't want to be just stuck there, so yeah, you
got to find a way out. It sounds like they
(20:20):
did one war here. I wanted to get to this.
Guy texted in and said, my parents are so old?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
How old are they?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
They don't go shopping anymore. So they give me birthday
money and Christmas money and I hide it so my
wife doesn't plan projects for that money that was originally
intended for me. Oh oh good, right, Oh that's that's
pretty funny. All right, let's finish up here. Somebody's been
on hold for a few minutes. Thanks for holding guy,
(20:52):
Would you want to say so it's.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
Important to have separate accounts, especially in the modern day
and age, because exactly that just in case things don't
work out. M h, I've been a part of that.
You got to have a kind of an escape plan.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Well, you romantic devil? You are you married? No?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Okay, Well that's easy to say when you're not married.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Was that?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah? But I mean it's it's pretty it is easy
to say that though, as a single guy, maybe once
you get married, you know, you fall in love with somebody,
you're convinced it's forever. The thinking sometimes tends to change
when you are struck by love. Let's say, yeah, I
could see that. Yeah yeah, I mean, when you're green, nicky,
(21:39):
it's entirely possible. He meets somebody, they fall in love,
and he just tosses this aside and he's like, Eh,
we're never going to split up. I want me a
separate account, I mean, and then ten years later he's pennylessening, sane,
living under a bridge, trying to play a record with
a peanut. Okay, Nikki thoughts.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
I mean, I think there's pros and cons to both things.
I like having my own account, just, you know, just
to have my own account. And like I said, surprises
like if I go buy something for Dave, like it's
going to be a surprise.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
He's not gonna be like, oh, well, what'd you go
buy here? What was this website was going on here?
Speaker 4 (22:16):
You know?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
So let me ask a question with you guys having
separate accounts, so you you talk to each other so
that you know collectively how much money you have as
a couple.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Yeah, and we sit down and okay, we have like
a whole thing for the and everything.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, okay, but I mean so that way, yeah, that
way when you're talking and he's saying, I have this
in my accounts, and you say, I have this in
my accounts, and then you know, okay, as a couple
we have this amount of money together. All right, Well
that that works. Then all right, sir? Are you on
board with that?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
I'm on board with that. Yeah, that's pretty smart.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
All right, very good. Do you have a girlfriend?
Speaker 6 (22:49):
I do?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Long term? How long? Sir?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Oh? No, she took him out, sir.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah, he was taken out by his long term girlfriend
who right now she slipped up behind him and the
rag with a chlor fill on it over his head. Okay,
well it was good to hear from you guys.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
That probably happened.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
No, they're still there. They don't disappear and reappear in
the middle of a conversation. How long have you been
with this woman?
Speaker 6 (23:16):
I like two and a half going on three years?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Okay, and you guys, are you talking about getting married? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Yeah, that's the plan. Eventually.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Have you told her your planned to keep your finances
separated because you don't think it'll work out.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
About that anyway. It's for like many reasons. Yeah, it's
good to have a joint account for the bills and
the things you want to do together, but also having
your own money is pretty important.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, I'm just curious about how she feels about that
when you say to her, look, you know, I think
we should keep separate accounts because this is probably not
going to work out.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
Well, you don't market it out right, I know you.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Market market it, right. I just assume she's going to
read into it that way. I know, like we Jessica
and I were getting married. If she said that to me,
I'd be like, so you have doubts, that's all. So yeah,
that's fair. All right man, I'm glad you call it.
Have a good day. Yeah, he's right. You don't market
it that way. You you really have to be clear
(24:12):
on your messaging. You got to tap dance around that.
If you're going to marry somebody, and before you marry them,
you want to have the conversation where you say, let's
keep our finances separated just in case this doesn't work out.
That's you don't say it that way, but no, that's
what you're thinking, and I think they know that that's
what you're thinking. Yeah, no, if they have any sense.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
I would like for you to be able to keep
your financial independence.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Uh huh see, there you go. That's marketing.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
It is.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
That's marketing because no one who is getting ready to
get married wants to hear the person they're marrying say
but just in case things don't work out. You know,
I often gently sob when I think about the current
state of society, and then that sobbing turns into laughter
(25:04):
because while we are hip deep in decay, the riot
is pretty entertaining. What in the world is going on?
Don't quem giant freak. These are all terrible ideas part
of the family tradition. Wow, just like that show Big Brother.
Don't see that on Animal Planet. To be honest, I've
never seen such dysfunction. You're gonna see some dysfunction right now.
(25:29):
This is really good stuff. It's the story of a
quote unquote man who is being described as a male
Karen or Maren if you will, marin a Maren, yes,
who went to a cell phone repair shop and demanded
a new battery for free, and the employee tried to
explain to him that they need to verify what the
(25:51):
actual issue was with his battery and white failed and
so forth. They need to do some testing to make
sure that it falls in line with their warranty coverage,
which is.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Fair, right, sure that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah, like, I have a warranty on this. Okay, Well,
let's confirm this and verify and then we'll move forward. Yeah. Well,
this guy wasn't having it and naturally was recording and
then you can hear him start to flip out and
smash stuff at the end of his encounter with the
guy at the counter. Maren, smash check this out. We
(26:28):
have to verify that it's bad before we can do warranty.
I'm telling you it's bad. It's been on a charger
since the week before last week. Okay, but we don't
know if that charger could be bad or you know,
it would be something going on, So we have to
verify that it's bad first. Well, unacceptable, it's been on
a charger for over a week and it will not
take the charge.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Okay, that's fine, but we have to verify that. We
have to verify that as the bad battery before we
can warrant you, and then we.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Can then I don't have that kind of time.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
I need a good battery to buy a new one.
I don't need to buy a new one, I need
to replace.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I told you it's been on charger for over a week.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
People are fascinating to me.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
And guy was being so recent would just be like, hey,
you just verify.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
This could be a bad charger, right, you just need
to replace the charger, not the actual.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Battery, right. And the guy's reaction to that is, I
told you it was on the charger, And he's like, right,
but we need to make sure the chargers are working properly.
I told you it was on the charger. You're not
hearing any more. Maybe the charger is the problem. Just
figure it out. And then he says that he doesn't
have the time to wait on them to verify. Well,
(27:45):
you know, that sounds like a you problem. That's not
their fault. I don't understand why so many people just
cannot follow basic logic. I mean, they're not being unreasonable,
they're just confirming. And then if they confirm, then yeah,
and he's probably thinking, oh, they're trying to screw me.
They don't want to pay the warranty. Yeah, maybe maybe,
(28:06):
but they have to be thorough.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
But they still have to Yeah, they would still steps
to follow.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Be foolish to just hand out money on a warranty
claim without verifying it. I mean, how stupid would that
be for them to do that? Right all for just
meet him in the middle, dude, and don't go in
there and start smashing stuff.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
This is one of those people that runs on the
field and punches an umpire or rather or something during
a child's sports game, right, yes, yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
That is correct. In fact, that's why he didn't have time,
because he had to get down to the field and
punch an official
