  Speaker 1: Hi, everyone. Welcome back to our Regretful Parents series. I'm Kristen.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: And I'm Erica.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: And today we're gifting you a post on the I
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Regret Having Children Facebook page that's very different from our
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: usual Regretful Parents content. But this post has so much engagement.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: It's basically a news article that I think it's worth
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: going through.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Spicy.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I'm very tempted to show you a picture, but I'm
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: going to wait till the end. Okay.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, so. Wait, why won't you show me the picture?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: That's so mysterious.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Well, I think we have to have the context first.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Before I judge people. So, this starts with, I think
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: this is the title of an article.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Let me repeat that.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: A 67-year-old grandmother was the sole breadwinner for a 20-person
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: household after her adult son moved in with his 16 children.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Okay. Do you want to read it one more time?
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Just kidding. But I think that requires some extra attention
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to sink in. So, yeah, a grandma... now has 20
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: people in her fucking house and she's paying for them.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: The article reads, New court filings in the horrifying Ohio
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: case involving 16 children found living in deplorable conditions reveal
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: another disturbing layer to the story. The children's 67-year-old grandmother
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: was allegedly financially supporting the entire 20-person household by herself.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Another thing that's throwing me off about this, just as
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: a quick aside and then we'll get back to the story,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: is people in our discord were just talking about a
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: couple in arcadia that i i was like oh my
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: god we have to do an episode about this you saw.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: That yeah i saw that too yeah where it was
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: different than this a.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Family that has 27 children and they were like beating
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: their kids like what the fuck is going on with
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: these huge ass families lately.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I know it's crazy but also like could you imagine
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: you're a 67 year old grandma you think you're done
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: with your kids And then your fucking son comes up
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and goes, Mom, we have nowhere to go. You have
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to take us in. Me, my wife and our 16 children.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I just can't fathom because I would be like, who
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: are you? Have we met? Yeah. Not in my house.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: So Christina Siders lives with her husband, Gary Siders Sr.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: in Hamden, Ohio. According to her attorney, what had been
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a two-person household became a household of 20 when the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: couple's adult son, Gary, moved in with his wife, Elizabeth,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and their 16 children. Wow. Just reading the word 16 children.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Makes you want to crawl out of your skin.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: My stomach is just, like, in my feet. Like, I
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: feel nauseous. It's so bad. Christina's attorney says she remained
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the only adult in the home consistently providing financially for everyone,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: paying the rent, utilities, and other household necessities for herself,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: her husband... her adult son, her daughter-in-law, and all 16 grandchildren.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: What the fuck does she do? Because I would love
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to know what kind of job can provide for 20 people.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I'm curious, too. I don't know if they're going to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: get into that at all. I'm also very confused. But
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: something tells me it can't be that much because she's,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, not, you know, a lot of rich people rent.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: But the fact that she's a 67-year-old woman and they're
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: renting is surprising to me. You kind of think like.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: You own a home.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: You need a little more stability.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: As you get older, yeah.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe they live in a shoe.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe this is just a fairy tale written as
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: a horror story. So, meanwhile, Christina was also caring for
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: her 73-year-old husband, whose medical problems are reportedly so serious
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: that a judge ultimately released him from custody because his
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: need for frequent medical attention. He has since been found
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: incompetent to stand trial because of irreversible cognitive decline. So
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: my understanding is like there's something going on with her husband.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: So she's the caretaker, caregiver. Oh God, not the caretaker.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: It sounds like she's digging a hole. She's the caregiver
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to her husband, which seemingly has like dementia. And she's
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: also taking care of Of 19 other people, basically.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: At what point does the state jump in, you know?
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I kind of think that's what's happening because they're
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: saying they removed him from custody. So they clearly, I
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: don't know. Okay, we'll keep going. Someone is intervening.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: But what authorities found inside the home in June was horrific.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: The 16 children, ranging from about 18 months to 18 years,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: were reportedly kept mostly inside a 12 by 12 foot
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: room contaminated, uh-oh, with human feces. Authorities said the children
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: were not enrolled in school and neighbors reportedly had rarely,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: if ever, seen them.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah. How many bathrooms could they possibly have?
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: It's like 20 people. Somebody's got to be using the
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: bathroom at all times, right? It's unfathomable. Yeah.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I can't even comprehend that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Seven children were taken to the hospital after being removed
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: from the home. Two had to be airlifted to a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: level one trauma center. And one was initially reported to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: be in critical condition. Holy shit. Vinton County Sheriff Ryan
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Kane said that the conditions were so poor that most
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: of our livestock was kept in better conditions than the children. Yeah.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Ohio Attorney General said investigators were concerned that they could
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: have been dealing with the death of one or more
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: children had authorities arrived even a day later. Wow. All
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: four adults in the home, Christina, her husband, their adult son,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and his wife were arrested. Christina now faces 19 counts
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: of child endangerment and has pleaded not guilty. Her attorney
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: is asking for the court to reduce her $ 300, 000 bond,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: arguing in part that Christina had never previously been charged
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: with a crime and that the grandchildren were in her
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: home because her adult son and his family chose to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: move in with her.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Christina's the 67-year-old? Mm-hmm. This lady is not liable at all.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: She's the only one who is trying to take any accountability,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I think. Justice for Christina.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Isn't this crazy? I mean, OK, so I don't know
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the deal with Christina, but like.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Wait, can I say something really quick? Sorry. Can you
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: hold that thought? I'm just thinking, first of all, Christina
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: could never be on the regretful parents sub because she's
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: too busy taking care of 19 people in her household.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: But if she was like if we read a regretful
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: parents post that was like, I have 19 people living
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: in my house and I'm the only one with a job,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: we would be like, this is fake. Yeah.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: No, I that's why I was like, is this even real?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: But like, I mean, it seems legit. And like you said,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: there's another news article we read about a similar story.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: So it's not that far fetched. I mean, it's funny because,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: you know, it keeps coming up. I keep seeing things
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: in the media about grandparents' rights. Have you heard about?
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Have you seen this like floating around the Internet recently?
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: We've talked about doing an episode about this before.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Grandparental rights. Yeah. And it's like, yeah, obviously, like grandparents
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: have no right to your child. Like, you could be
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: estranged from your dad and you have a kid and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: then your dad's like, I demand to see my grandkid.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: It's like, that's cool. Not legally. Legally, you don't got
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: a fucking case, you know? And you see, like, grandparents who, like,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: threaten to, like, sue or do legally intervene. And it's like,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you do not have any rights. So in this case, similarly,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: it's like, how could a grandmother... Yes, it's under her roof,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: but it's like the parents live there. Aren't the parents
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: responsible for the kids?
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm not a lawyer yet, but I
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: have a hard time believing that she'll be found criminally
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: liable since she was the only one being even a
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: little bit responsible. But who knows?
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: $ 300, 000 bond. I also.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: could see under the current administration there being some kind
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: of case that leads to grandparents getting some kind of
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: legal rights. I would not be surprised if they're working
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: on that, given how crazy these people are. Yeah.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Obviously, being financially overwhelmed does not excuse children living
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: in dangerous conditions, and prosecutors will ultimately have to establish
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: each defendant's individual responsibility in court. The one detail in
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: this case that makes me wrinkle my nose in an
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: entirely different direction. So I guess this is like OP
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: mixed with this news article. One detail in this case
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: that makes me wrinkle my nose in an entirely different
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: direction is how did a 67-year-old woman become responsible for
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: financially supporting her adult son, his wife, their 16 children,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and her medically fragile husband all at the same time?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my brain is flatlining because I can't.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: It's literally a classroom of people. Like when I think
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: of like what is 20 to me, that's like.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: It's a kindergarten classroom.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: It's exactly. It's like where I went to school growing up.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: And fitting them all in a room that's the size
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of my bedroom.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's literally, girl, that's a dinky trip full
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: of people.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: It's a dinky trip full of people. It's just from
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: what they say, like 18 months to 18 years old.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe I shouldn't say this on the internet. But I
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: genuinely surprised more people. don't unalive themselves in these types
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: of situations.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I know. I think in situations like this, I mean,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: at least for the 67 year olds, it's like you
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: have such a high level of. Demand on you that
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I think that they're just at a place where they're like,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I can't. I can't because everyone else around me will
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: die if I'm gone.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: It's just like there are people living like this, you know,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: in like Ohio. And like they don't leave the house.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Like the neighbors don't see them. Like that's crazy. That's crazy.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: And they're not going to school. But like, ultimately, it's like,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: what is the grandma? Grandma can't force her grandkids to
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: go to school. That shouldn't be her legal responsibility.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Grandma has her own problems. Grandma's dealing with a lot.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I think we need to take grandma off the table.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering where is the federal government? Where's the local government? Yeah. Obviously,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: we have a record of these children. They have social
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: security numbers. I would assume. Who's checking in? Yeah.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: No, it's crazy. 16? I'm like, is there like multiple wives?
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Did one woman give birth to 16 children?
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I think so. I think so.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I know people in families of eight, and I'm like,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: that's fucking crazy. Doubling my level of fucking crazy?
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, you remember 19 Kids and Counting, right? Did
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: you ever watch that show? Is that like the Duggars? Yeah,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: the Duggars.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: OK, I didn't really watch it, but I know of them. Yeah,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I know them because they're all over the news all
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Well, all the time. Yeah, because now they're like convicted
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: of like being like a sex ring or something.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, right.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Allegedly, allegedly. I don't know. There's a lot of shit happening.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I think it's Josh Duggar.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Allegedly.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I got the name wrong. Don't
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: sue me. OK, so the story continues. At some point,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: she had raised her son, and somehow decades later, she
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: was still supporting him. Except now, he came with a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: wife and 16 dependents. This is one of those stories
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: that illustrates something we talk about here often. Having children
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: does not necessarily mean that your financial responsibility ends with
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: those children when they reach adulthood. Sometimes the adult child
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: continues to need housing. Sometimes they need money. Sometimes they
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: have children of their own whom they cannot adequately support.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: And suddenly grandma is not only still supporting the child
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: she gave birth to, she's supporting the family that the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: child created too. In this case, according to the defense,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: one older woman went from financially maintaining a household of
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: two to financially maintaining a household of 20. Every time
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I say it, I can't believe it.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Wait, I'm sorry. I just wanted to Google this to
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: make sure that it was a real story because I
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: was like, if we get to the end of this
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: and find out that it's fake, I'm going to be
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: so fucking mad. And I saw, I wonder if this
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: is the picture that you were trying to avoid me
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: seeing when I saw the picture of her.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, goddammit.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but that is how I would feel. If
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I was her. Well, let's get there.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I only have a few more sentences left.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. We need to get Travelocity in here. This
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: lady needs a vacation.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: We need to get Travelocity.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Stacey London on the call. She needs her hair done.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: She needs a makeover. This lady has been done dirty.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: That's all.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, here's the thing. I'm I'm with you. But also,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know. What if this woman was a terrible mother?
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: What if she's like what if she.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I don't care how terrible you are. If you come
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: in here with your 16 fucking kids and I'm the
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: only one working. All my sins are forgiven.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Immediately.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Immediately.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: She's the only one providing a roof for these people.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Erica's like, I put food.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: On the table. I put a roof over your head.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: You must... Give me an Expedia gift certificate.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: If I was that bad of a mom, you best
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: not be coming back to my rented ass house with
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: your kids putting fecal matter on my floors. Please. Okay.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Well, she was doing it all while taking care of
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: an aging spouse. Whatever the criminal courts ultimately determined about
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Christina's responsibility for what happened inside that house, that particular
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: part of the story is bleak all by itself. Because
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: retirement age apparently did not mean retirement, it meant 19 dependents.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: No. I don't even understand why the story is even
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: focused on her. She has two children, two adults.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I think, well, in the context of regretful parents, like,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: do you think that this woman is experiencing regret?
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: That lady has not a shred of joy in her eyes.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Is this the scariest thing you've seen today? Could you
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: imagine that was your legacy? People talk about legacy. Oh,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I got to have kids because I want everyone to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: know my bloodline. This is your bloodline. And you're going
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: to die knowing that's your bloodline.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: It's not even that her family has aged her. They
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: have sucked the life out of her soul.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: She looks like.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I've never seen anyone who looks like that.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: She needs a spa day.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: She needs. Just one.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Just one little spa day. And she's going to look
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: good as new.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: It's like you see things like that, you know, and
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: it's like. The concept of self-care is not even relevant
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: to her.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: She needs an entire transplant, just like everything. Like her face,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: her brain, family, everybody needs to be gone.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I feel like the Headspace app owes her an apology
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: because their very existence is like a joke in face
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: of reality, you know?
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. Yeah, the Calm app saw her and they just
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: shut down the app.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: They filed for bankruptcy.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: They said, oh, we don't even understand what self-care is.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Exactly. We can't do this. We can't do this.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: This is bigger than all of us.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: So, top comments here. The next time someone says, but
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: if you... If you.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Told me that she killed 20 people, I'd be like, yeah. Mm-hmm. Okay,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: go ahead.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: That's it?
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: I just was looking at her being like, I can't
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: believe this is a story about a woman who was
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: taking care of 20 people. Because it looks like a
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: woman who's about to go on a murder rampage.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, honestly, she looks good for
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: 20 dependents. 19 dependents.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: If this was me, this would be a gravestone. Drop
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: the skincare routine, because honestly.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Is she using ponds? Because she's looking good. For 19
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: dependents in her late 60s. I can't even imagine. Okay.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: People.com called it a house of horrors. It is.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: NBCUniversal, this year for Halloween Horror Nights, you're going to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: put one exhibit that's called Christina's House. It's just a
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: 12 by 12 room. With fecal matter everywhere. And I
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: shouldn't make fun. I shouldn't poke fun. But like also
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: like it's such a horror. It's such a nightmare. And
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: obviously we should we should acknowledge the fact that these
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: poor fucking kids. Got real fucked. We haven't even addressed how.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: How fucked they are. I can't like, you know, it's
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: just it's I keep using the word unfathomable. I'm speechless
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: over it. Like I truly you cannot put into words.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: How unfair it is that these kids were born into
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the household that they were born into.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: What? Do you see the picture of the parents? No. Okay.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I'm going to text it to you. Okay. I'm a
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: little concerned.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Why does this... Why do they look like they're young? Like,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: why does the mom look like she's 23?
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: I'm very confused. And also....
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I'm alarmed.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I think there's something darker going on.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Just based on these photos?
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: No, based on the rest of the people.com article. Okay.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: That's what I was saying. Maybe we shouldn't defend Christina
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: until we know the full fucking story. Maybe we pause
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the Expedia sponsorships.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Get your marketing team on hold. Don't deploy them yet.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Just set it aside. Don't send it to UPS yet.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: OK, well, can I read the comments or do you
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: need to give us an update on whatever the hell
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: you're reading right now?
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to say what I'm reading because it's
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: really bad. Just you guys can look it up if
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: you want. Let's get to the comments. I'm curious what
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: the comments say.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: OK, so the top comment is the next time someone says,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: but if you don't have children, who's going to take
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: care of you in your old age? I'm just going
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: to send them this article.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, that's perfect. No notes. It is. It is.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: The second comment is for all of you saying she
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: was responsible or somewhat responsible, she was the only one
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: working and probably working more than one job. And when
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: she was home, she was likely taking care of her husband,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: at least her husband. She may not have had time
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: to deal with anything else. Another comment here is, I
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: want to know the full story before I pass judgment.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I want to know how the parents were before I
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: give my opinion on the grandmother. Something stinks here, and
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: it's not just the house that they were living in.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Spoiler, you don't want to know the full story, actually.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Just walk away and enjoy your life.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Listen, for the record, y'all don't come to this series.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: To feel good.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe you do.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: To each their own.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe you do a little bit. Yeah, I guess you do.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: You come here for the laughs, for the joy. For
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the gigs. And then you can go, oh, okay, my
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: life isn't that bad. And if that's your MO, then
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: let this story give you another one of those feelings.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Because I'm going to walk away going, life ain't too
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: bad today.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Life ain't too bad. I know, we've been going through it.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: But it could always go down even further.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I could always go down even further. Okay, so anyway,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: that's our Regretful Parents post of the day.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I think we've seen it through.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: We've had enough. The internet has interneted today too far.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Too far.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: And it is time to go live our lives.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: And look, some people, they're too far gone. But Expedia,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: we're ready for a vacation. Take us.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Travelocity? More like the generosity thing. You give us with
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: your PR packages. Is that subtle enough?
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Okay. Lauren, help us.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: What do we always say, Erica? What do we always say?
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Don't get pregnant. Don't get pregnant. Because that baby could
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: have 19 more babies.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Also, don't get pregnant and put that on a T-shirt.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: And in fact, why don't you wear the T-shirt that
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: we made for you?
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Also, FYI, Kristen, just because we're so busy that episodes
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: need to be strategy meetings. People also want it on
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: a tote, so make sure that we get it on
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: a tote. All right, guys, don't get pregnant. Don't get pregnant.
