- 0:01Welcome to this is my circus.
- 0:03I always sit up straighter.
- 0:04This chair is different.
- 0:05It feels good.
- 0:05Well, that's the one I was using I just and you just slid it over here.
- 0:08Okay, the lumbar support is amazing.
- 0:10Well, that's fabulous I love my crisscross apples.
- 0:14I love your chair Yes, I do.
- 0:16The only thing, like I said, when I texted you, it doesn't have wheels.
- 0:19So that's a little sucky.
- 0:20But other than that, like, I love it.
- 0:22I'm sure you could finagle some wheels on there somehow.
- 0:25No, not even going to try.
- 0:26No, you don't want to like me to bring my hot glue gun next time.
- 0:29And we'll stick.
- 0:30And I like falling.
- 0:32I end up breaking like a leg or something.
- 0:33Put cameras and just keep them on all the time because that would probably happen.
- 0:38And we need to rehash that.
- 0:39Yes.

- 1:56And it's like this middle aged white guy in like flip flops and like cargo shorts.
- 2:01And he's like, sure to get down.
- 2:03Good Lord.
- 2:03And he's like doing it.
- 2:05And then he's like, pretend like he's on an escalator.
- 2:07And it's so great.
- 2:08It's like two songs already in two minutes.
- 2:10I would want to do like a crowd pleaser, like where everybody Yeah, the song.
- 2:15So yeah, sing along, you know, like they can join in.
- 2:17So there's a lot like I will survive is always a good one.
- 2:21But you want something for everyone.
- 2:23So I would do Britney Spears version of I love rock and roll.
- 2:28Okay, that's a good one.
- 2:29it has to be the Britney version.
- 2:31Yeah, of course.
- 2:35No diggity.
- 2:36I Have you ever done karaoke?
- 2:39Never.
- 2:40Have you?
- 2:40I did once.
- 2:41What'd you sing?
- 2:42it was a meatloaf song.
- 2:43I was in college.
- 2:44I was not 21, and I was stuck into the bar.
- 2:46uh, these older ladies were singing and me and my friend wouldn't steal the microphone and.
- 2:52Rude.
- 2:53It was so rude.
- 2:54I can't imagine what these people thought, but we were, we were quite.
- 2:58Quite intoxicated and then my brother's friends ended up being there and they all know like how old I am Because i'm five years younger.
- 3:05Did they get you kicked out?
- 3:06No, they're like you're not 21 and i'm like way to blow up the spot Like right, right and they're like, oh like well, do you guys want a drink?
- 3:15Actually, thank you.
- 3:17asked Dylan this and like, he went country and I was, I was surprised.
- 3:20I could see, I could see.
- 3:22He listens to a lot of country.
- 3:23Jackson does too.
- 3:23Yeah.
- 3:24And, I like country.
- 3:25I do too.
- 3:26yeah, I'm hit or miss with it.
- 3:27Just depends on what it is, but he, uh, Jackson really doesn't like, he'll get in these, Moods where he's playing these songs.
- 3:33One of his favorites is called grandpa's never die and it is not a happy song But it's just talking about how he wishes that he could learn to drive again And he could learn this again learn and Jackson's and when he sings that does Dylan do this he puts on his accent really thick Yes, it's talking about I wish I could have a cold Bud light and Jackson sings it like that.
- 3:54Yes 100 percent we should do that sometime though it would be funny I think people would enjoy that.
- 4:04Um, well, I think we would enjoy it Yeah, I think no, they would definitely would I mean, how could they not?
- 4:11is Dylan back in town or is he back and gone again?
- 4:13He's back and he leaves on Tuesday.
- 4:15So, uh, we just watched a movie last night.
- 4:17What'd you watch?
- 4:18The new Ghostbusters.
- 4:19Brian tried to get me to watch that.
- 4:21I was not in a Ghostbusters mood, so he put something else on and I fell asleep.
- 4:24So, apparently, I was just in a moment.
- 4:27We went and saw Twisters, my mom and I.
- 4:29Yes Oh, and you got stormed on.
- 4:31Oh my gosh.
- 4:32Okay, so and I tell you, I told you I normally fall asleep in movies.
- 4:36Yeah, at the theater.
- 4:37Um, so there was like nobody in the theater, right?
- 4:40Really?
- 4:41It wasn't many people and this family, I guess, um, like four people You Five people maybe.
- 4:48You know, you pick your seats.
- 4:49Yes.
- 4:50Yes.
- 4:51Why?
- 4:52In an empty movie theater, they picked the seats right next to us.
- 4:55I would never.
- 4:56I would never.
- 4:57And I'm like, why?
- 4:58I would give like a courtesy row or at least a courtesy space if it was a pet.
- 5:03Yeah.
- 5:04So then the lady like is eating popcorn, right?
- 5:06And like there's a quiet way to eat popcorn, right?
- 5:08And then there's a loud way to eat popcorn and like everything this woman did I was like, uh huh so she doesn't turn her phone ringer off and every 30 seconds There is an alert going off.
- 5:19Uh ring doorbell like that Yeah, like whatever like the little twinklies rude so i'm I was getting more mad and more mad and more mad and i'm sitting there and i'm like You My mom, like, looked at me, and I'm like And so I finally, like, it went off again, and I was like, Can you turn off your phone ringer?
- 5:38You said that.
- 5:38And I was just like that.
- 5:39I was like, I sat up straight, and I was like, I Right.
- 5:44I was, like, that close to, like, taking her purse and throwing it across the room.
- 5:47What did she say?
- 5:48And she's like, Excuse me?
- 5:50And I was like, It's either your phone or somebody that you're with's phone.
- 5:54Turn off the phone ringer.
- 5:55And she's like, and she like goes in her phone, picks up, doesn't turn off the freaking ringer because it goes off 30 seconds later.
- 6:01She never turned it off.
- 6:02No.
- 6:02So see, in situations like this.
- 6:04So in my mind, I'm thinking, well, you guys can move.
- 6:06You'd still be able to hear it, but you can move.
- 6:08But I dig my heels in and I am not moving.
- 6:11Yeah.
- 6:11And I am going to be there.
- 6:13I kept looking at her.
- 6:14Oh, yeah.
- 6:14Yeah.
- 6:15Yeah.
- 6:16Seriously?
- 6:17Uh huh.
- 6:18Yeah.
- 6:18I need you to separate that.
- 6:20How was the movie?
- 6:21The movie was good.
- 6:21Okay.
- 6:24Um, yeah, you had seen the original.
- 6:25Yeah.
- 6:25So this was, this was just another, was it just like it?
- 6:29An updated version of it.
- 6:30Okay.
- 6:30Yeah.
- 6:31Okay, it was good.
- 6:31I mean good.
- 6:33I mean I enjoyed it I was looking for the name of that movie that we started to watch we watched the beekeeper a few weeks ago.
- 6:38It was pretty good, too It's an actually me killy one.
- 6:40I like those We do like true crime I don't think anybody is surprised by my comment.
- 6:50Well, um, no.
- 6:51So I have a lot to discuss.
- 6:54Okay, same.
- 6:55Okay.
- 6:55All right.
- 6:56Let's do the book.
- 6:56Okay, get that.
- 6:57Okay.
- 6:57Yeah, so the book we read was called, Did You Hear About Kitty Carr?
- 7:02Yes.
- 7:03And that was by Crystal Smith Paul.
- 7:05A multi generational saga that traverses the glamour of old Hollywood and the seductive draw of modern day showbiz.
- 7:11When Kitty Carr Tate, a white icon of the silver screen, dies and bequeaths her multi million dollar escape to the St.
- 7:17John Sisters, Three young, wealthy black women.
- 7:20It prompts questions.
- 7:21Lots of questions.
- 7:23A celebrity in her own right, Elise St.
- 7:25John, would rather focus on sorting out Kitty's affairs than deal with the press.
- 7:29But what she discovers in one of Kitty's journals rocks her world harder than any other brewing scandal could.
- 7:35And between a cheating fiancé and the fallout from a controversial social media post, There are plenty.
- 7:41The truth behind Katie's ascent to stardom from her beginnings in the segregated South threatens to expose a web of unexpected family ties, debts owed, and debatable crimes that could, with one pull, unravel the all American fabric of the St.
- 7:54John sisters and those closest to them.
- 7:57As Elise digs deeper into Katie's past, she must also turn the lens upon herself, confronting the gifts and burdens of her own choices and the power that the secret of the hold over the living.
- 8:10so as we talked about when we initially threw this book out there, very much like Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, that vibe.
- 8:17Yeah.
- 8:18And I thought they were going to tie it in.
- 8:19Oh, okay.
- 8:20I didn't even think about that.
- 8:22I forgot what was the, the family name in that book?
- 8:25but I, it was like saying something.
- 8:27I thought I was, you're right.
- 8:27Like St.
- 8:28Clair or something, but Yeah.
- 8:29And I was like, are they gonna tie this in?
- 8:31Like somehow?
- 8:31I didn't even think about that, but that would've been really cool.
- 8:33Yeah.
- 8:34Um, but definitely that vibe.
- 8:35Yeah.
- 8:35That back and forth, that old Hollywood, the the passing.
- 8:39Mm-Hmm.
- 8:40for white, right.
- 8:41Yeah.
- 8:41The ethnic backgrounds.
- 8:42Yep.
- 8:42Absolutely.
- 8:43Um, but yeah, definitely had that vibe.
- 8:45I liked this book.
- 8:47I did too.
- 8:48Okay.
- 8:48I, liked the past totally better than like I couldn't really like vibe with the the current chapters Yeah, I would 100 percent agree like when you were just reading that and you were talking about somebody cheating on her I was like I don't even remember that I was so I loved those past pieces so much with her.
- 9:06Her upbringing and then her social life and all those things.
- 9:09Yeah, so I could not vibe with the newer Right portion of the book.
- 9:14I tried to and I wanted to like I wanted to you know Really?
- 9:19See here's my problem is I kept Picturing the Kardashian sisters.
- 9:23Oh, did you while I was reading it?
- 9:24I don't know why like that was just in my head I don't know.
- 9:26I don't know like it was just you couldn't kind of get past that point to Make them and I don't know why I that was in my head But it was like I guess I read like I was expecting the spoiled like, you know, yeah socialite type of whatever.
- 9:40That's what I just kept seeing.
- 9:41And I was like, yeah, no, no, they, they, I see where you might have drawn that comparison, but, I just, I wasn't as into the storyline from the past was way more fascinating to me than her getting cheated on and throwing a party and all those other things.
- 9:57Um, which was the point.
- 9:59I mean, that was the point.
- 10:00How cool that some of it was in Charlotte.
- 10:02I know.
- 10:03I didn't know that when we did it.
- 10:04So she grew up in, was it near Asheville?
- 10:07Um, somewhere, somewhere in North Carolina.
- 10:10And every weekend main character, we'll just call her Kitty, She went with her mom every Sunday for several hours to Charlotte to shop.
- 10:17And I mean, that was neat to me, like picture in that.
- 10:20Right.
- 10:20And the only reason that they could was because she was white passing.
- 10:23Yes.
- 10:23and, So that meant her mom could go with her into the stores and they could go to the movies and do stuff because she was with white passing child.
- 10:32Absolutely.
- 10:33And basically their, ruse when they were out was that the, the daughter kitty who was white passing her mom was acting as like her nanny in that moment.
- 10:44So whenever some situation would arise, it was basically they would defer to the child because the mom was African American and, they just right figure as such as in the time, right?
- 10:57Um, and I hope we don't come off as insensitive with this trying to talk about some of these things.
- 11:02Yeah That's not our goal.
- 11:04And if you're listening, y'all know us well enough to know that we're just trying to talk about a freaking book How how neat was it though?
- 11:12The the Charlotte thing was really cool And I also thought it was neat the way they touched on a lot of historical events.
- 11:19Yes.
- 11:19They did a lot about Emmett Till, And it reminded me so much of what happens today is they were, they were talking about Emmett Till.
- 11:25And then all of a sudden something else happened.
- 11:27Oh, James Dean died.
- 11:29And it was like, the spotlight just shifted.
- 11:31And it's like, that happens a lot now that still happens.
- 11:34You know, something will happen.
- 11:35And we're like, well, we need to come to the bottom of this.
- 11:37And then all of a sudden there's another scandal or a blow up or something else.
- 11:41And the, everything just shifts.
- 11:43Yeah that that really jumped out to me there.
- 11:46did you catch?
- 11:47Cause I didn't, I went back and listened to a couple of chapters, that Rebecca in present time of the publicist or the best or whatever was Claire's granddaughter.
- 11:58I did not.
- 11:59Catch that and I don't even think I when they first said it it didn't click I never saw it coming Yeah, and then at the very end when they were like, well, she's my grandma or something.
- 12:09There was a statement I was like wait what and I thought about going back to listen I actually did but I didn't make it that far back into the book yeah.
- 12:16Just like in seven husbands You So many strings that were connected through so many different ways.
- 12:22Yeah.
- 12:23I am so mad at Hazel, which was Kitty's mom, for sending her away and never speaking to her again.
- 12:28I am so angry I do think that she probably knew she had, the cancer before.
- 12:34Kitty left and she did not want Kitty to.
- 12:37You think so?
- 12:37I do because she said, they said she was slowing down.
- 12:40She was, you know.
- 12:41But I just attributed that to her age.
- 12:43You know, she was just.
- 12:44I figured if Kitty was just graduating high school, the mom had to be around our age.
- 12:48I'm slowing down.
- 12:49I'm just kidding.
- 12:51God, it's not really.
- 12:53It made her sound so much older in the book, but then I'm like, well, Our kids are about to go to graduate high school.
- 12:59Yeah, you're right.
- 13:00So I think she was sick before and she sent her away and didn't want her to, to deal with that.
- 13:04Right.
- 13:05Um, and so I, I get it kind of, but I'm so mad at her.
- 13:09And I, I was, I was so mad in that, in that way.
- 13:12Those couple of chapters.
- 13:13Yeah.
- 13:13I was, I was upset with her too.
- 13:16I felt like there was a better way that she could have done that.
- 13:18She could have told her, prepped her, not just send her.
- 13:22And then to send her away, never speak to her again.
- 13:26And then nobody tells her she, and then to, nobody told her that she passed, um, that she died.
- 13:32And then to like, send her to live with these people.
- 13:37And not even tell her.
- 13:38Right.
- 13:38It gave her no heads up.
- 13:39And I mean, that's, you know, different time, different age.
- 13:42Making a phone call wasn't the same.
- 13:43There's not phones or whatever.
- 13:45But still, that's your mama.
- 13:47And I wanted to look up, she sent a thousand dollars with her.
- 13:51I wanted to look up to what that translates to.
- 13:53Like how much money is that?
- 13:55The other part that I was like, oh my gosh, was that Kitty's husband knew the baby was still alive.
- 14:02Yes.
- 14:03And for a long time.
- 14:05For several years.
- 14:06That the child was, I never said a word.
- 14:09I never said anything, but okay, so here's my question.
- 14:11Okay.
- 14:12If she, as he said, you should have told me and I would have accepted it.
- 14:15And do you think he would have accepted it?
- 14:17Do you think that he would have accepted that she was not white and that their child was not white?
- 14:23No, I don't either.
- 14:24And so, and not that he necessarily did anything to make me think that he was, um, you know, a racist or anything like that.
- 14:33I just think it was the times, unfortunately, and the norm for, for that to, To not be the norm.
- 14:39Right.
- 14:40I think in the house, he would have accepted it.
- 14:41I don't think for it to go public with it, he would have accepted it.
- 14:44Right.
- 14:45And I just can't believe he, he knew for that long.
- 14:49Right.
- 14:49And didn't say a word.
- 14:50Right.
- 14:51Um, and just for reference.
- 14:53A 1, 000 and I just did 1950 would be 14, 000 today, so that's what she, which is a good chunk of change to send somebody.
- 15:02I mean, and she had a place to stay.
- 15:05She didn't have to pay rent.
- 15:05Anything like that.
- 15:06So what'd you think about?
- 15:08The roommate.
- 15:08Emma.
- 15:09Emma was a new name.
- 15:10It was a new name.
- 15:11Uh huh.
- 15:12And that, that did get confusing.
- 15:13I never got twisted on that, but they did change a lot of the names as they shifted their, their roles from black to white.
- 15:20So that, you know, if you're reading the book, if you haven't read it yet, just be on your P's and Q's.
- 15:27So I was surprised when we heard her, the story when She did get there, when, when Kitty started hanging out with Claire, and Claire revealed that, well, Emma needs to chill with us, and this is what really happened.
- 15:39Yeah.
- 15:40And Emma did not tell Kitty that.
- 15:43Right.
- 15:43so that was weird.
- 15:45And it was really weird, especially because, like, up until, you know, these, these girls almost grew up together, at least every Sunday for a few hours, then, and then they lived together for a while, and everything was, you know, sunshine and rainbows.
- 15:58And then it's like, I wasn't though, like, because Katie was like, well, can I go out dancing with you?
- 16:04And she was like, no, you were not coming out with me my thought was that she was trying to get a man.
- 16:08She was trying to get married.
- 16:09Yeah.
- 16:10Competitive.
- 16:10She, and, and Kitty is, This beautiful beautiful woman.
- 16:14Right.
- 16:15so if she wasn't securing herself enough or all of her friends are, getting married.
- 16:20Right.
- 16:20She was not having a beautiful younger.
- 16:24Right.
- 16:24I was like, well, just go yourself, Kitty.
- 16:26You're, you're a grown up, but.
- 16:28No, she made the right choices.
- 16:29She did.
- 16:29She went to work and she stayed after and she, and she always had almost a humble spirit.
- 16:35Like she was always, she told everybody, thank you.
- 16:37And they got on tour about that.
- 16:39These other women that were passing as well would, would be like, don't be so nice.
- 16:43Right.
- 16:43And she, she never shifted with that though.
- 16:47She kept, being polite and being nice.
- 16:50You know, what was interesting to me too, this was another part of the book.
- 16:52So we meet a lot of, other women and a lot are passing and a lot are not.
- 16:55And a lot of them are sisters and one will pass and one will not.
- 17:00Yeah.
- 17:00And, what I thought was really, really interesting in the book was when they were talking about how, so say if a white woman walked into a room of men, the men would stop talking.
- 17:09But if a black woman did, they're almost invisible because they just didn't see them as people really.
- 17:16So they were a lot of times the ones with power.
- 17:19Right.
- 17:19Because they were hearing all these things and seeing all these things.
- 17:23And I thought that was really astute.
- 17:25Like that really Jumped out to me that like good.
- 17:29Yeah, good How did you feel about their secret society call it or whatever?
- 17:36And using all the women as they did right now.
- 17:41You know, they were Basically like you need to go meet this, this governor or whomever and seduce him and marry him.
- 17:47Right.
- 17:48And then you're going to control him.
- 17:50Yeah.
- 17:50I had such mixed feelings because I felt like it was like also forced, that the members didn't necessarily have a choice of who they got to love.
- 17:58Well, and, and it's not like they really chose to join this unit.
- 18:03They were called units of people.
- 18:05but especially with Kitty, she was sent there and like, okay, this is what you're doing.
- 18:10And this is your job now basically is to be in the society and pair up with somebody.
- 18:17so on one hand I'm like, oh, that's tough.
- 18:19Like that's like tough in a good way.
- 18:21Like Jackson would say tough, Wait, use, use what you got for, for the good of, of your calls.
- 18:26Right.
- 18:26And you know, if that takes you, making these connections and whatever, then go for it.
- 18:31But the other side of me like you said, that just there was never really a chance of anything other than it being a business deal on their end.
- 18:38Right.
- 18:39and that just sucks.
- 18:41And then at the end when there was all the raids, because all of the things filtered to, the Black Panthers.
- 18:47Yep.
- 18:48I didn't see any of that coming.
- 18:49I didn't either.
- 18:50And I wish I would have paid more attention to when they were, cause that was just a lot of like filler when they're having a meeting or they're sending their money.
- 18:57Like that was a lot of just filler for me on what, how they were spending their time.
- 19:00I was not focused on that too, really.
- 19:03And that was probably, might've been the point of the book.
- 19:05Yeah, just to like catch you by surprise.
- 19:07When Kenny's husband told her the dollar amount that she had donated to this foundation.
- 19:12And yeah, my jaw hit the floor.
- 19:14I know.
- 19:15It was a lot.
- 19:16It was a lot.
- 19:17I love the book.
- 19:17I loved kitty part of the book.
- 19:19I liked the book too.
- 19:21I liked it a lot.
- 19:22So this definitely, would be like probably an eight or nine for me.
- 19:26Pretty much covered it all.
- 19:27What's our next book?
- 19:28So our next one is Mother Daughter Murder Night.
- 19:31And I'm reading it right now.
- 19:32Are you?
- 19:33Awesome.
- 19:33Okay.
- 19:33So it's by Nina Simon.
- 19:35And again, just trying to go through the list and find what's available for us.
- 19:39So that is going to be next.
- 19:41So we have not Recorded since Biden dropped out.
- 19:46Yeah.
- 19:46And I know we are, don't do politics, but that's a huge deal.
- 19:50So we got to at least mention it.
- 19:52And, Camilla Harris is.
- 19:54potentially being I think that they felt solidified it didn't they I don't know this that's how much I pay attention to politics but did you happen to notice did you were you watching tv or anything when they broke in with the news that he was dropping out so they did the whole thing and I thought on TikTok or Facebook, whichever.
- 20:11And I can't remember what channel it was.
- 20:12So, because I'm sure there's different news correspondents for all the different channels, but they broke into whatever that they were doing.
- 20:18And, you know, that they'll have, you can tell when it's like somebody dialing in to, cause there's nobody on site cause nobody's expecting this.
- 20:24So it's like the news correspondents are dialing in and, You hear this woman and there's just like a baby crying in the background, like, like, you know, it was just, and you know, work from home, trust me, I get it, but it was like, this is like a huge monumental piece in U.
- 20:39S.
- 20:39history and here I'm on the call with the baby crying in the background.
- 20:43I know, I know, very, very much real life.
- 20:46so yeah, I just felt like we should mention it because it is.
- 20:48historical, I guess, for that to have happened.
- 20:51Then I wanted to talk about the Olympics.
- 20:53Okay.
- 20:53Have you watched any of the Olympics?
- 20:56Okay, so I, there was some like big backlash about the first, well, and I'll give just a high level overview of it.
- 21:03So the opening ceremonies were Friday and it's like a four hour long thing and all the, all the teams come in and they're waving and they do this, the parade.
- 21:11And It's very artsy.
- 21:13It's very there's performers.
- 21:14So it's in Paris and you know Paris is kind of known for being the flamboyant and yeah all the things.
- 21:21So, we watched it, we watched most of it, and there was this one part that it was a bunch of cross dressers, I guess, who were sitting at a table, and I didn't realize they were cross dressers.
- 21:36A lot of them are prettier than a lot of women.
- 21:40So I just, I wasn't even like, I wasn't even, it wasn't even in my mind, but that's what it was.
- 21:45they carry the torch through the whole country.
- 21:48So the dude's carrying the torch down this runway that they're on the side of and, I was like, oh, that's crazy.
- 21:54I thought that they were representing the countries because there was this one that was bigger dressed in blue with the crown.
- 21:59And I was like, that was supposed to be the Statue of Liberty.
- 22:02And I was like, they got America being the fat one.
- 22:06Well, come to find out after all this happened.
- 22:09And there were some other things too, that were questionable.
- 22:12in some opinions but they said that it was mocking the Last Supper of Jesus.
- 22:18So, I don't know if, I don't know what the intention was, and I'm going to get some of the words wrong.
- 22:23But it's, it was the Greek gods and goddesses cause the Olympics are Greek.
- 22:28And it was the Greek gods and goddesses.
- 22:29And they pointed out who everybody was supposed to be.
- 22:31But Do you see Snoop Dogg was in the Olympics?
- 22:34Oh my god.
- 22:37I love you some Snoop.
- 22:38Uh huh.
- 22:38We talk about him every week.
- 22:40I know.
- 22:40I love Snoop.
- 22:41So he carried the torch through some town.
- 22:43I don't even know what town it was, but did you hear all the jokes about it?
- 22:46Uh uh.
- 22:48Let me pull up the pictures for you.
- 22:51He's been interviewed a lot and he was doing some interviews with some of the parents, like Simone Biles, one of the gymnasts, like with her, parents and talking to them and stuff.
- 22:59but let me show you this picture and I want your reaction.
- 23:04So this is the torch.
- 23:05It looks like a big old blunt.
- 23:08So everybody's like, how, how perfect for Snoop Dogg to be carrying this.
- 23:16Yes, that's exactly Exactly what it looks like.
- 23:20Oh my gosh.
- 23:21It's been making me laugh, but how cool that he's there.
- 23:24Yeah, that's awesome.
- 23:25I know.
- 23:26Anyway, I thought that was wonderful.
- 23:28So yeah, well, I'll be watching some of that.
- 23:29I'll, I'll keep you updated with all the important factors like Snoop Dogg carrying a big giant blunt.
- 23:34Um, so You know, I love a good petty story.

- 24:29You saw that J Lo and Ben's house is on the market and he bought a new house?
- 24:34Yeah, I guess they're for sure.
- 24:36Move it on.
- 24:38I will blame them.
- 24:38I don't either.
- 24:39Whatever.
- 24:41I don't know how much you are on like the drama talk side of TikTok.
- 24:45Oh, I'm not enough.
- 24:47I don't think.
- 24:48Wow.
- 24:49What's up?
- 24:49And it's just like, small town, drama.
- 24:51Okay.
- 24:52It gets played out like, yeah, so big because it's on social media and everybody's commenting.
- 24:57Right.
- 24:58Right.
- 24:58There was, this.
- 25:00One lady, and she went to Hibachi with her daughter, like four year old daughter.
- 25:06Right.
- 25:06And so she's sitting at the table.
- 25:07Well, the next table over is her ex and with, with the new girlfriend and the new girlfriend's name is Amber.
- 25:14So the four year old is like, mommy, can I go say hi to Sean?
- 25:18He's right there.
- 25:18Mommy, mommy.
- 25:19And she's like, okay, go ahead.
- 25:20But she didn't go over.
- 25:20Like she had a little girl ran over and mom says that Sean blew her off and was like, Like waved and like, was like, okay, you can go.
- 25:29Mom calls the little girl back and she's like, just come sit down.
- 25:32It's okay.
- 25:32Right.
- 25:32You know, and they go about eating and they other family eats and they all leave.
- 25:37Yeah.
- 25:38So mom gets home and gets a.
- 25:41Message from Amber the new girlfriend.
- 25:44Yeah, and tick tock like just what happens.
- 25:48They don't like Amber.
- 25:49So Amber says And I quote, don't ever send your bastard child over to talk to Sean ever again, whore.
- 25:58What?
- 25:59That was the message this poor woman got when she got home because the four year old wanted to go say hi to Sean because she was too, yeah, so, Oh my God.
- 26:08Let me grab my keys real quick and go ahead and handle Amber.
- 26:11Right?
- 26:11And that's exactly how TikTok felt, but yeah, it gets better.
- 26:14Okay.
- 26:15Actually, it's worse.
- 26:15Okay.
- 26:16Okay.
- 26:17So, Taylor is the mom's name.
- 26:18Taylor responds with, I'll do as I please.
- 26:21If you had something to say, I was right there.
- 26:23Or did your daddy say you couldn't?
- 26:25Because I believe her parents were also out with them at the hibachi table.
- 26:29And Amber says, B, I will f you the hell up.
- 26:35You will not do effing poop.
- 26:39Next time, I'll make sure to let you know and stomp your face in front of your kids.
- 26:43Don't f with me and my family.
- 26:45Again, stick with your nasty string of men you keep.
- 26:48Um, at one time, her man was mm-Hmm, the other kids was one of the, the, the, the nasty man.
- 26:54That was her response.
- 26:55So Taylor responds with, get help sis.
- 27:00Perfect.
- 27:01And Amber responds, learn boundaries slut.
- 27:08I forget about calling somebody a slut.
- 27:11I need to put that back in my repertoire.
- 27:15Taylor goes to social media with this story and is like, Oh my God, I didn't like, I mean, she just put it on her personal page and that somebody screenshotted it.
- 27:22Of course.
- 27:22Like the Oh.
- 27:25So, it goes all over then it goes to tick tock.
- 27:28And so tick tock does what tick tock does hunts this lady down and whatever.
- 27:34So she goes silent on social media for a couple of days and comes back with the worst explanation video.
- 27:42Oh, I cannot wait.
- 27:43It's so bad.
- 27:44Like, it's so, she should have just stayed off.
- 27:46Okay.
- 27:46it basically says that maybe she shouldn't have said the word bastard because she the father of her children died.
- 27:55So like her kids don't have a dad either.
- 27:58So she was trying to get sympathy saying that maybe daddy died.
- 28:01and people shouldn't bully her because She has no father for her children.
- 28:07The entire video she said that her messages should not have been shared.
- 28:12She was blaming the other girl, the entire video, never saying like, no, I shouldn't have done this.
- 28:18It was, you shouldn't have shared what I said.
- 28:21Yes.
- 28:21It's exactly.
- 28:23The whole premise.
- 28:23Oh my gosh.
- 28:25So bad.
- 28:26And then, she was extra gross trying to play it off.
- 28:29Like she has all these random people messaging her like, Oh, I got you.
- 28:32I got your back.
- 28:33The worst was she said, Oh, and the frat guys that messaged me.
- 28:37Oh, that was flattering.
- 28:39Oh my, could you not be?
- 28:40Oh my gosh.
- 28:42Disgusting.
- 28:43I want to know, kind of, I always have more questions that I know you don't have answers to but.
- 28:48Yeah.
- 28:49so, the best part of this entire thing is, so I went down like the rabbit hole and I'm like, who are these people?
- 28:53Like, what the heck?
- 28:54Right.
- 28:54They have a Facebook group for this town.
- 28:57It's dedicated to calling people out.
- 29:00Okay.
- 29:01And, you know, I joined cause I'm nosy.
- 29:03Yeah.
- 29:08But it's like, your HOA, like everybody just complains.
- 29:13Yeah.
- 29:13That's what it is.
- 29:14But for the entire town and oh my gosh, freaking awesome.
- 29:17Everybody complained about everything.
- 29:19Oh my God.
- 29:19And people in the town council and a lot of schools start so early, which is kind of what ours have turned into.
- 29:25And.
- 29:25the person who drives the silver.
- 29:28Oh, yeah board get your muffler fit But it's for the entire town and it is gosh amazing.
- 29:35That's how it's gonna be gold Yeah, so that was also posted in this group that they all live in this town freaking awesome I would rather like the whole world know something about me than like the people that I see at food lion Wouldn't you?
- 29:52I was like that is so cool So awesome.
- 29:56Wow.
- 29:58Yeah.
- 29:58Oh my gosh.
- 29:59It's such a small, like a small thing, like in their little town but it's all over on the drama talk side like these little like town spats getting blown up So big that I go all in like i'm like next where's the updates?
- 30:11I do too and i'm getting frustrated with some of our pages that we like on facebook because There's so many comments I can't keep up and then people dirty delete stuff and i'm like I really needed to know if you talked to him girl.
- 30:23Like I need to know what his response was After you went through his phone and found things Nevermind, I'll stop there.
- 30:31But, yeah.
- 30:32Any who?
- 30:34Next.
- 30:35Let's on moving on.
- 30:37Chris Watts.
- 30:37Did you hear his update?
- 30:38No.
- 30:39So he wrote a letter from prison saying that his girlfriend was involved.
- 30:45In the physical murders.
- 30:47Really?
- 30:48She, he said that once he told her he was going to kill Shanann, that she said, well, you might as well kill Bella and Cece too.
- 30:57And he calls her Jezebel in the letter and he said that she helped in the acts themselves as well as the coverup.
- 31:05So now the question is, are they going, is this enough to go after her?
- 31:09I don't believe that.
- 31:10No?
- 31:11Do you think she was?
- 31:12I think she had, I think she knew about it.
- 31:13And I think that she like, knew more than she, Than she let on.
- 31:17I don't remember a lot about her.
- 31:19I just remember the footage of him, With the bodies.
- 31:24Mm-Hmm.
- 31:25And she was not there.
- 31:26Yeah.
- 31:26I think she knew a lot more than she was Okay.
- 31:28Saying she was acting dumb and innocent and Yeah.
- 31:32I think that she, not so much, I always thought like, how can you not know?
- 31:36Yeah.
- 31:37That's true.
- 31:38That's true.
- 31:38I don't, I don't even know if like, is that enough to even.
- 31:41Go after her.
- 31:42I don't know how that works.
- 31:43Yeah.
- 31:44And you would think, I don't know, there's definitely some kind of trail.
- 31:47Yeah.
- 31:48And I mean, cause he could say anything, but Nick could say that we helped him.
- 31:52We did not.
- 31:53We did not.
- 31:53I'll say it right here and right now.
- 31:55We did not.
- 31:56But, but I mean, let me clarify, let me go ahead and put this out there.
- 32:00We did not.
- 32:01I don't know how that would work.
- 32:02Yeah.
- 32:03Interesting though.
- 32:04Oh, I see a note there that looks very, very cool.
- 32:07Marilyn Monroe.
- 32:08Oh, oh yeah.
- 32:08So I, saw something that said, cause it was about like how all these stars overdose, but a lot of people think that they don't overdose and it's, you know, yeah, whatever the conspiracy.
- 32:23So.
- 32:23This theory said she was actually dating both the Kennedy brothers and that they broke it off with her and they were not answering her calls.
- 32:32Okay.
- 32:33And there was a wiretap transcript that this person had a copy of and it said that there was a reporter who was doing a piece on Roswell at the time and that Marilyn told her that she has secrets to tell.
- 32:50Okay.
- 32:50Regarding the president and the attorney general, and I guess what she knew about.
- 32:55the alien stuff.
- 32:56So she had threatened the brothers that if they continued to ignore her that she was prepared to do a tell all and a couple of days later she was found unalived.
- 33:07Wow.
- 33:07I believe that.
- 33:08I do too.
- 33:09Or, or something to that effect.
- 33:11Yeah.
- 33:12Like I, I think, yeah, because her death was very suspicious.
- 33:16Yeah.
- 33:17she was a troubled lady.
- 33:18I mean, she had a lot of emotional things going on.
- 33:21But yeah, I believe that.
- 33:22Wow.
- 33:23Yeah.
- 33:24Wow, wow, wow.
- 33:26So Brian tried to tell me the other day when all that was happening with President Biden that, john Kennedy was running for president and I am fascinated with the Kennedys and like some of their stories and and all that Again, my nerd is showing I know but um, it's like no, babe He's not with this anymore and I was he was like, yeah, he is I was like So John Kennedy was President Kennedy's son, and he was on a plane crash with, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and her sister that crashed like 20 years ago, maybe longer than that, 25 years ago.
- 33:58Yeah.
- 33:59And, he was like, well, it must've been one of President Kennedy's other sons.
- 34:03And I'm like, what?
- 34:04He only had him and the daughter.
- 34:06Like, I was like, no, no, no you.
- 34:09And then he was like, oh, maybe it was Ted Kennedy's son or something.
- 34:13And I was like, so there is a dude that's always at the Trump rallies and there is a conspiracy theory that it is actually.
- 34:25John John.
- 34:26Yeah, really?
- 34:27and either he didn't really die in the plane crash or like, I guess he had made some kind of comment about, he was going to he was going to figure out time travel or something like that.
- 34:35Oh, and so, they keep saying this 1 dude is him and somebody actually just like stopped him outside of the Trump rally and was like, hey John John, you know I didn't like he kind of like giggled and like was like, I'll talk to you guys later and like But he was right behind Trump he was like right In the shot of like the, the video, when Trump was, shot.
- 34:56I'll have to watch that again.
- 34:57and look for him.
- 34:58Yeah, it was pretty cool.
- 34:59It's wild.
- 34:59Have you, since you mentioned time travel, have you ever seen like some of the theories on that?
- 35:05It blows my mind.
- 35:06Me too.
- 35:07I'm not smart enough to wrap my head around.
- 35:08Me neither.
- 35:09But, so, I've seen several pictures and who knows if they're doctored or not, but it's enough to make you wonder.
- 35:15I believe in all of it.
- 35:16Right.
- 35:17It could all happen.
- 35:19But it's like a picture of the 50s and somebody's wearing like a digital watch.
- 35:23Yeah.
- 35:24Or they've got like a cell phone that you can obviously tell us a cell phone, like stuff like that is crazy.
- 35:30Crazy to me.
- 35:31I know.
- 35:32I totally believe in all the things.
- 35:34Like, I definitely believe that there's aliens.
- 35:36I believe in all of it.
- 35:37And again, maybe I'm just gullible and easily, like, you know, I can easily believe things, but I really do think that it's all probably out there.
- 35:47Right?
- 35:47And.
- 35:49I'm not smart enough to comprehend it.
- 35:52Some people are very, very smart to figure out things and the universe is really, really big.
- 35:57Yeah.
- 35:57I don't know.
- 35:58Yeah.
- 35:58But I could believe a lot of things too.
- 36:00You see all these videos the glitch in the matrix and it's some person's like frozen, you know, like the sky's frozen and, but like.
- 36:06Yeah.
- 36:07Everything else is, yeah.
- 36:08Totally think that there is, I'm sure.
- 36:11Multiple whatever realities and stuff everywhere.
- 36:14Like I got stuck in this one, but I'm glad you're here.
- 36:20And this one, I'm like a super villain and you have a really, do you have that cool?
- 36:27that, that good math.
- 36:29a bill that we talked about before.
- 36:31Can you do math really well?
- 36:32I don't think villains are good.
- 36:34Oh, no, I'm like a super, super bad spy.
- 36:40That's funny.
- 36:41Um, yeah.
- 36:42That's funny.
- 36:42So, I think, I do, I totally believe in all things.
- 36:45My mind is not big enough to wrap my head around it all.
- 36:47All the conspiracies that you hear, though, about, you know, from, from Marilyn and Kennedy's time to even now, I'm like, well, it could happen.
- 36:54Yeah.
- 36:54It could happen.
- 36:55Yeah.
- 36:55I'm not one to say nothing good.
- 36:58Yeah.
- 36:59Things happen all the time.
- 37:00I and I have more power to the people that can comprehend it because it's not me.
- 37:06I did not know this and like, it kind of goes back to we used to do these like weird laws or weird things, right?
- 37:10Yes.
- 37:11So, we all know Gypsy Rose is pregnant.
- 37:14Yeah.
- 37:14And she says Ken is baby daddy.
- 37:17Yes.
- 37:18She is still married to her husband.
- 37:20Oh.
- 37:21In Louisiana, the, her, whoever she was married to will be the father of the child.
- 37:27Is that what you're going to say?
- 37:28In Louisiana law, if the mother is married to someone other than the biological father when the child was conceived or has been divorced for less than 300 days at the time of birth, The husband slash ex husband shall be presumed father unless paternity is established for biological father.
- 37:46So that means if Ken just up and like says, peace out, disappears, the husband Ryan is stuck on the hook for this baby.
- 37:54That's crazy.
- 37:55When you said that, though, I was like, Oh, I remember learning this.
- 37:58Yeah.
- 37:58Never thought we'd talk about it with Gypsy Rose, though.
- 38:01Did you see the crime scene photos have been leaked?
- 38:03No, did you see them?
- 38:04I did not want to look.
- 38:05I didn't look at them either, but some people are.
- 38:08Some people are really twisted.
- 38:09They're posting like pictures of Kim Kardashian yawning.
- 38:12And it's like.
- 38:13I must be really tainted because this is how I feel about, like they didn't even affect them.
- 38:17So apparently the damage to Dee Dee's body was, Underplayed a lot.
- 38:24Oh, really?
- 38:25It was terrible.
- 38:26It was supposed to be really, really bad.
- 38:29So the dude that did the acts supposedly by himself.
- 38:33Yeah, right.
- 38:33Whatever he said, the only stabbed her four times.
- 38:36There were 17 stab wounds, cigarette burns to the body, bruises all over scratch marks.
- 38:43and there is things set up in the room.
- 38:46Like, the Barney dinosaur was sat next to the mom, after she was unalived, and in one of the interviews, Gypsy had said that the mom always had her Barney dinosaur at night tucked in with her to go to bed, and this dinosaur, was laying next to the body in these pictures.
- 39:05I think that she was definitely involved in the act itself.
- 39:08I think that's BS if anybody doesn't believe that she was.
- 39:13and then for her to set up the scene, like she was putting her to sleep, it was overkill one.
- 39:17Oh, right.
- 39:18100%.
- 39:19Yeah.
- 39:20And then for the extra overkill and torture.
- 39:23Yeah.
- 39:23I mean, the cigarette burns.
- 39:25Again, I didn't see the photos.
- 39:26Yeah.
- 39:26I was just going off of what, what some of the posts said.
- 39:29Yeah.
- 39:29But, weird, weird stuff.
- 39:31Yeah.
- 39:31And I think that 100% she should still be in jail and Oh yeah.
- 39:34You need to stop glamorizing her.
- 39:36She is just trash.
- 39:37Yes.
- 39:38A hundred percent trash.
- 39:39Yeah.
- 39:39Agreed.
- 39:39And nobody knows how these got released, like leaked out.
- 39:44And somebody hacked the system or something.
- 39:48I know.
- 39:48Somebody smarter than me, but.
- 39:49Right, same.
- 39:50It has swayed a lot of people's view on her.
- 39:52Yeah, because it was so downplayed.
- 39:55So you hear all these interviews, right?
- 39:57And like people are talking and you, you see it in your head that she was like this teenager when this happened.
- 40:02She was 23 years old.
- 40:04Yeah.
- 40:05She wasn't a kid.
- 40:06Did she know she was 23?
- 40:07I can't remember freaking like, I don't believe anything out of her mouth.
- 40:10She forgets her lies like she contradicts herself.
- 40:14Yeah in different interviews.
- 40:15Yeah, I think she's just tries to manipulate I think so too, but she learned from the best because I mean, that's all her mom Did was manipulated people to you know to feel sorry for her and to there's a tick tocker and she went like deep dive This I mean, it's like a 25 part series that she did and I'll have to all this is in it to you Okay, um, but she from like the beginning depicts all of the things.
- 40:39Oh, really?
- 40:40I mean, yeah, it goes like hardcore.
- 40:42Yeah.
- 40:42Into why Gypsy is a cuckoo, like, sent from hell.
- 40:48Yeah.
- 40:49Yeah.
- 40:50She, um, I agree with you.
- 40:51She definitely needs to be back in prison.
- 40:54Yeah.
- 40:55And even, like the whole cover up after with all the posts and the things.
- 41:01It's interesting because she played it so much of like, I'm the victim, I'm the victim, I'm the victim.
- 41:05Yeah.
- 41:06was 23 when she Was arrested and put in jail or all that.
- 41:10Okay.
- 41:12So it wasn't like she was like a young.
- 41:13No, I could have sworn she was younger, but again, with the way that her mom treated her and the way that everything was.
- 41:20So there's other chicks there, you know, I watched the whole, all of them.
- 41:23She was just manipulating everybody.
- 41:25And her mom was trying to stop her from dating all of these.
- 41:28Mm-Hmm.
- 41:29like being like a, a hoochie.
- 41:30I mean, she a slut.
- 41:31Let's use our new word.
- 41:32I'm just kidding.
- 41:34But, but yeah.
- 41:35That's why they were fighting was'cause mom was like, you can't have four boyfriends.
- 41:38Like, yeah, well stop being a ho.
- 41:41She did.
- 41:41Right.
- 41:42Well, and she did nasty things with one of'em in a movie theater.
- 41:45At least one of them in the movie theater.
- 41:47Yeah, so she was trying to get her to just be a lady And she didn't want to be lady.
- 41:51She wanted to be the slut hood.
- 41:54Okay, and I don't know how much like you see on your algorithm, but all these people That have done these interviews that were in jail with her.
- 42:03Oh, I haven't seen any of those So there's one chick and People say they think that gypsy just paid her to be like, oh, she was wonderful She was just kind of blah blah blah, but all the rest of them are Like she thought she was a diva.
- 42:15She was bragging that she had so much money on her books her crew Was the like lowest of the low in jail of the the child predators.
- 42:26Oh That's that's what she ran with.
- 42:28Yeah.
- 42:28Would disappear with guards Shut up.
- 42:32Like for, for long, for periods of time.
- 42:35wow.
- 42:35Had, extra stuff like a cell phone and other things nobody else had, yeah, so it's wild.
- 42:43Yeah.
- 42:43So she was manipulating there too.
- 42:46Yeah.
- 42:47Wow.
- 42:47I'm blown away by her.
- 42:49She's a hoe.
- 42:50She's a, she's a slut hoe.
- 42:51She, the fact that she manipulated all these dudes to, to do the things that she got them to do, it's insanity.
- 42:58It is.
- 42:59It is.
- 43:00She's still in Louisiana.
- 43:01Still live in Louisiana.
- 43:02I don't, I don't think she can move.
- 43:04Probably part of her probation, parole, whatever.
- 43:07Yeah.
- 43:07Oh, and the last thing, Ken's boyfriend that came out a couple weeks ago.
- 43:12Yes.
- 43:12said that she's got another ex, lined up.
- 43:16She's gonna hurt somebody else.
- 43:19Okay.
- 43:19I can't talk about her anymore, she, she fixed me out.
- 43:25You want to do, am I the a hole?
- 43:27Always.
- 43:28So I only got one because there is a million updates, but it's not funny.
- 43:31Like our bachelor, bachelorette party, Okay.
- 43:34Am I the a hole for jumping out of the way when my niece and nephew tried to push me into a pool resulting in Them falling in happened today.
- 43:41My folks decided to host a barbecue because I guess that's what older people do Wait a minute.
- 43:47I already have, oh no, I'm just kidding.
- 43:49I declined because I don't really like my two sisters, their husbands, or their kids.
- 43:53Wife and I are child free.
- 43:55Mom then pressured the wife.
- 43:57Long story short, we went.
- 44:00By the time we arrived, there were about 20 people there.
- 44:02My sisters and their husbands were already solidly buzzed.
- 44:05Drunk, really.
- 44:06My mom was spending a hundred percent of her time trying to keep the nieces and nephews, ages 7 to 11, more or less under control.
- 44:13Dad has strategically retreated to the Whirlpool part of the pool, A small cooler full of beers.
- 44:19Smart man.
- 44:19Mm hmm.
- 44:20I'd be in the hot tub too.
- 44:22Wife and I made small talk with miscellaneous people, ate food, had a frozen margarita.
- 44:26Sisters and brother in laws took turns criticizing us for being late, not being in our swimsuits, and screwing up the vibe.
- 44:34Whatever.
- 44:34Typical suburban summer kids together.
- 44:37About 45 minutes in, two of the kids ran at one of the neighbor guests who was standing next to the pool and pushed her in.
- 44:43She was at the pool step, stumbled in but didn't fall, so only got half wet.
- 44:47She was clearly very unhappy about it, but she didn't make a scene, just went over to where the parents were, grabbed their towels, dried herself off, and left.
- 44:55Sisters and brothers in law thought it was all great fun.
- 44:58A bit later, I was standing a few feet away from the pool chatting away with someone.
- 45:02I saw three of the kids running full tilt at me from the corner of my eye.
- 45:06Obviously, I was next.
- 45:08Not that it's outwit young kids, but I just jumped out of their way at the last second.
- 45:12All three of them ran straight into the pool at full speed.
- 45:15Most of the other guests, including my wife and me, started laughing, but their moms, who, as I mentioned, were pretty crap faced, obviously freaked out.
- 45:23Apparently two of the kids couldn't swim, even though they were in swimsuits.
- 45:27Since I wasn't in swim gear, I stepped back from the pool and let other people fish the kids out.
- 45:31The kids were bawling their heads off like they'd lost a limb.
- 45:35At that point, everything broke loose.
- 45:37The four drunk parents were yelling at everyone in general, and me in particular, for nearly letting their kids drown, and also because two of the kids had been videoing the trick using their parents iPhones, which are now at the bottom of the pool.
- 45:49One of my brothers in law got into the pool to try to retrieve the phones, but his BMI and BAC made that impossible.
- 45:58No one else volunteered to help.
- 46:00Unsurprising given that my sisters were still yelling at everyone.
- 46:03I told my sisters it was their job to watch the kids and that if anything had happened to them, it would have been their responsibility, not mine.
- 46:11There were some pretty strong words on both sides.
- 46:13Wife and I left after the other brother in law fell over and face planted while yelling at us.
- 46:19Now they're saying I should have let the little craps knock me into the pool and have their fun and ruin my phone.
- 46:26So, am I the a hole?
- 46:28No.
- 46:29Totally no.
- 46:31And the parents should have been watching the kids.
- 46:33You should be.
- 46:34Nothing will make me crazier than when there's parents somewhere and assume somebody else is going to watch the kid.
- 46:38Yeah.
- 46:38Like, when you're, you had them.
- 46:41Yeah.
- 46:41Unless somebody's like, I got them.
- 46:42You go, go, go swim for a minute.
- 46:44I want to play with kids.
- 46:45Bye.
- 46:45Yeah, whatever.
- 46:46That's frustrating to me.
- 46:48Okay.
- 46:48So we agree.
- 46:49No.
- 46:49Yeah.
- 46:49All right.
- 46:50Let's wait some updates.
- 46:52Dad.
- 46:52Of course never got the whirlpool.
- 46:56Okay.
- 46:56So first here's one of the updates.
- 46:59First off, my folks tell me that my nieces and nephews are all good swimmers and that they use the pool all the time.
- 47:04The seven year old is still a beginner, but he loves the water.
- 47:07My sister said they just couldn't swim, so I'd look bad.
- 47:10To be fair, none of the kids are allowed in the deep end, which is where they fell in.
- 47:14It was the two ten year olds and the nine year old who tried to push me in the pool.
- 47:18After we left, the party ended on a pretty sour note.
- 47:20My drunk brother in law, who face planted while yelling at me, had to go to urgent care and get his face stitched up.
- 47:27He was too toasted to drive, so dad took him.
- 47:30Dad was not happy.
- 47:31I'm gonna insert here, dad wanted to get back in the hot tub.
- 47:34Yeah, dad wanted to get back in the hot tub.
- 47:36Right.
- 47:37Now there's blood on my car.
- 47:39Can you just Uber?
- 47:41Late that evening, my sister started a group text and said some pretty nasty crap.
- 47:45Their husbands threw in a few comments as well.
- 47:47Wife and I blocked the four of them.
- 47:49My mom called me.
- 47:50She was pretty upset about what they said.
- 47:52She and dad were in the chat, and I don't blame her.
- 47:55Because of the text, my Folks insisted my sister's brothers in law come over the next day Which was the Sunday without their kids to get some things straight and lay down some ground rules That was mom's wording.
- 48:05The result was a contrite if unenthusiastic apology from the siblings via my mom's phone I'm glad my wife was with me when they called her hard stares kept me from saying what I wanted to I just told them Thanks, and that we felt no need to discuss it further.
- 48:19Okay That was very mature.
- 48:22Yeah.
- 48:22I mean, I would not have been so right because I'm not right since I thought things were settled.
- 48:28I unblocked them that evening.
- 48:30I got a text from one of the brothers in law telling me the phones cost X amount of money and asking when I'd be paying I replied never and took a screenshot of his text.
- 48:41And forward it to my folks with a note that we were done with this nonsense.
- 48:45We-were going no contact with the sisters, spouses, sisters and spouses, and not to invite us to any more holidays or get together if they'll be present.
- 48:52Then I blocked the sisters and their spouses again.
- 48:55Oh, I mean, but I hate it.
- 48:56I get it, but I, you know, well, it sounds like there was a bad, right.
- 49:00It wasn't like the first thing that happened.
- 49:03At that point, the crap really hit the fan.
- 49:06Dad called them and ripped them a new one.
- 49:07Among other things, he told them the grandkids were not welcome at his place indefinitely.
- 49:11Since my mom regularly provides free babysitting, that got them pretty rattled.
- 49:15He also banned them from using the vacation house and told them my wife and I actually own it, not him, mom.
- 49:22This completely freaked them out.
- 49:23Both of my sisters and families used the place a lot, including having their friends up for weekend getaways.
- 49:29This was very much out of character for my folks.
- 49:32They'd clearly had it.
- 49:34And for reference, I never wanted my sisters to know we owned the place.
- 49:37I bought it for my folks.
- 49:38They'd always wanted a place in the mountains.
- 49:40Keeping the ownership quiet was just a way to avoid drama with my siblings.
- 49:43I mean, I'll be your, I'll be your sibling.
- 49:49I'll watch my kid.
- 49:50I won't cause drama.
- 49:52I can swim.
- 49:52They can push me in the pool.
- 49:53It's fine.
- 49:55Um, okay.
- 49:55Sorry.
- 49:56A couple of days later, my sisters and their husbands came to our place unannounced to apologize in person.
- 50:02We were out to dinner and they left a note.
- 50:04One sister also called me at work too, and I sent her the voicemail.
- 50:08We've decided being no contact is the best thing for the indefinite future and haven't interacted with them for the last three plus weeks.
- 50:14Personally, I'm done.
- 50:15They can go pound sand.
- 50:17I agree.
- 50:18Update to the update.
- 50:19Yeah.
- 50:20It's been an interesting last few days.
- 50:21I thought the stuff had hit the fan before, but that was more of a far compared to what happened this week.
- 50:27Oh goodness.
- 50:28For this to make sense, I need to provide some financial context.
- 50:31My folks haven't ever been any good at saving money.
- 50:34I've been doing their taxes for years, so I know everything about them money wise.
- 50:37Their house is paid for and they have minimal debt, but they didn't say much for retirement.
- 50:41Both of them get social security, dad gets a solid pension and they have a bit of savings, but there is no treasure chest in the basement.
- 50:47I bought their current car for them after they retired.
- 50:50So they could have something nice to drive in.
- 50:52It was their first car in probably 20 years that they didn't lease.
- 50:54My sisters are convinced the folks are dripping with money and that our parents will be leaving the two of them everything since I don't need any more money.
- 51:02So they've never cared about saving either.
- 51:04Turns out, my oldest sister and her husband, they have three kids, have been living beyond their means for some time in our financial straits.
- 51:11They've maxed out credit cards and are behind on their car leases to the point where one's about to get repossessed.
- 51:16He's bragged in the past about making x per year, but it turns out to be about half of that.
- 51:22She confessed all this to mom on Tuesday, and because, and this was a WTF moment for mom and dad for the last three years, instead of staying at the vacation house regularly, she's actually been renting it out once a month.
- 51:34or so, and pocketing the cash.
- 51:35We're talking 2, 000 plus for a weekend and at least 4, 000 for a week.
- 51:40With her being cut off from using the place, she's had to cancel one group already.
- 51:44She's now worried they'll lose everything.
- 51:45My folks aren't in any position to give them a loan.
- 51:48Oh, man.
- 51:49Okay, my other sister was aware of her renting out the place, but of course I'd never said anything.
- 51:54I suspect she's done the same thing as well, because I went up there once to drop off an ATV I had worked on, and there was a family there who claimed to be staying there with my sister, her family, that they'd gone to town for something.
- 52:05At the time I let it go, I'd figured she'd loaned out the house to some friends, but I've always wondered.
- 52:09I found all this out through my folks who are pretty stressed about it.
- 52:13Mom more than dad, he's mainly just pissed off about it all.
- 52:16I know dad feels betrayed and I imagine he's embarrassed that he's in no position to help his daughter out.
- 52:20He did reiterate that as long as it's up to him the girls won't be using the vacation home anytime soon.
- 52:26My folks let me know again what's going on because they figured my sisters would pull a full court press on me next.
- 52:31They were right.
- 52:32On Thursday, my sisters came to our place again without husbands this time and waited outside the door until I got home.
- 52:39I got some crappy story from the older sister with the younger one backing her up regarding I needed to let them use the mountain place again immediately.
- 52:47They also said I've been a crappy brother and that I need to step up and plan on paying for their kids college tuitions since that's what family does.
- 52:55I let them pitch their story then called them out on what my folks had told me.
- 52:59Things went to crap from there.
- 53:01There was denial, crying, cursing, yelling, you name it.
- 53:04I swear my ears are still ringing two days later.
- 53:07Won't lie.
- 53:08I said some pretty mean and crappy things to them, but none of it, that wasn't true.
- 53:12They finally left after about an hour.
- 53:15Oh my god! After that, I took a shower and laid down.
- 53:20When I got up, my wife was home when her first words that she'd had to block more phone numbers because my sisters were blowing up our phones from new ones.
- 53:27Folks messaged me yesterday asking me to call.
- 53:29I'm sure my sisters have told them some crappy version of what happened, but I'm trying not to rehash it yet.
- 53:35I'm usually pretty energetic, but this drama's made me beaten down.
- 53:39I had just enough energy today to drive up to the vacation house and padlock the entrance gate shut.
- 53:45I'm the only one with a key.
- 53:46I'm guessing that will be enough to ensure my siblings leave the place alone.
- 53:50They'd probably die trying to walk 400 yards uphill to get to the house.
- 53:55Oh my gosh.
- 53:55Okay.
- 53:56So hold on.
- 53:56Okay.
- 53:58Renting out the house, even thinking it was the parent's house and renting it out without permission.
- 54:04Disgusting.
- 54:04Like, yeah.
- 54:07And then to, to, to, you're going to pay for my kid's college.
- 54:12Cause that's a family, like what family does that?
- 54:16Not any I know.
- 54:17Oh my gosh.
- 54:18Yet another update regarding the cluster that is my extended family thought it might be time given what's been going on over the past two weeks.
- 54:25After my sisters came to my place, my mom and dad told me that they were done with managing the vacation home.
- 54:30Sounded like the sisters had been pressuring them to let them use the place again.
- 54:34They decided they didn't want to be in the middle of all this crap.
- 54:36While I don't blame them, I'm disappointed because the place was supposed to be something for them to enjoy and hang out.
- 54:41And they use it regularly.
- 54:42Plus I've never cared that they let my sisters and their family use it because I've really always thought it was my parents call to make, even though I technically own it.
- 54:52But now my folks are going to be in the position of not having access without me being involved.
- 54:56And that changes the whole dynamic of the place.
- 54:59I've taken several steps to secure the place.
- 55:02I already mentioned I locked the gate.
- 55:04Heavy duty chain and the best lock I could find.
- 55:07I also did a full reset on all the door keypads and created new code.
- 55:11Security cameras got installed.
- 55:13The system cost me way more but the peace of mind is worth it.
- 55:16The installer also put up signs on the property saying it was monitored by video.
- 55:20Last week I got several calls in my office from both of the husbands trying to convince me to let them use the house like they always have.
- 55:26The older one had gone up with some friends for a guy's hangout but couldn't get in because of the gate lock.
- 55:31He was pretty pissed and embarrassed about being locked out.
- 55:34I'm sure he would have broken the lock off it if he could have.
- 55:37During this call he kept bouncing between pushy and victimhood.
- 55:40At one point he threatened to rip the gate out of the GD ground.
- 55:44He also admitted they'd been renting it out to a few friends That they needed the money and I was ruining their quote business and I should refund the guest money.
- 55:52Me?
- 55:53F that.
- 55:55The other brother in law sounded like he was being made to call by my sister.
- 55:59He really didn't put up a fight and I told him not to plan on ever using the place again.
- 56:03Oh my god, I feel sorry for this dude.
- 56:05At this point I'm considering selling the vacation home.
- 56:08Wife and I won't use it enough to justify keeping it, and it's not like there's going to be any family get togethers there anytime soon.
- 56:15I mentioned selling it to my folks.
- 56:16Their response was pretty much whatever.
- 56:18I'll probably wait for a while to sell.
- 56:20Doing so now would be an emotional decision.
- 56:22My sisters and I currently aren't speaking and have no plans to initiate contact.
- 56:27Update four.
- 56:28Oh goodness.
- 56:29Hired a guy to manage over at the vacation home.
- 56:31He has access to my camera feeds and does physical check on the place every week or two.
- 56:35I think he may have the best job in the mountains.
- 56:37He gets paid to drive around with his dog, Sign me up.
- 56:40Amen.
- 56:41Walk around the properties, hangs out in people's deck whenever he feels like it.
- 56:44He also has camera feed from a house near the start of the private road that takes still shots whenever a vehicle goes past.
- 56:51plus he'll do maintenance and repairs on an hourly basis.
- 56:55He's friends with all the sheriff deputies too, got a lot of peace of mind from doing this, I had to brag a bit on my parents.
- 57:01I got all this from them tonight at dinner.
- 57:02They were getting pressure from my sisters to demand that I opened the vacation house to everyone for Thanksgiving.
- 57:08Thanksgiving up there had become quite the tradition for my family, not for me or my wife.
- 57:13We've gone once in seven years.
- 57:15Dad refused to bother me about it because he knew I'd say no.
- 57:17They came up with what I think is a great plan announced that they were organizing Thanksgiving gathering and if everyone can split the cost in advance they rent an Airbnb in the mountains otherwise they'd host Thanksgiving at their place or one of the sisters could host it this caused a fight between the sisters because the the oldest one doesn't have any money the deadline to commit has passed so it looks like Thanksgiving will be at my parents place regardless we won't be there My parents have asked that we will not sell the place for now.
- 57:42They decided they'd still like to use it occasionally, but not until my sisters have come to terms with the new norm Both sisters have called from new numbers, if you google voice, and left messages insisting that I meet with them for our parents say to work out how everyone can use the vacation home.
- 57:56That's all they're concerned about.
- 57:57That's what keeps going through my mind is there's never, let's get back to what started this.
- 58:03Let's be brother and sister.
- 58:04Right.
- 58:07I was glad I was already in the habit of not answering calls if I don't recognize the number.
- 58:12I don't care if they're delusional or if they think they can bully me into giving them access.
- 58:16Don't really care.
- 58:17My parents tell me that the oldest sister and husband are getting out of the leases for their SUVs and a big truck and are selling their jet skis and some other crap they've never needed.
- 58:25That's going to be really hard on her.
- 58:27She's quite the bragger and won't like being seen in something older, smaller, cheaper.
- 58:31My brother in law's identity is very much wrapped up in his truck as well.
- 58:35he has a small tattoo.
- 58:36Of the truck's company logo, which frankly is one of the many reasons, and I never hung out.
- 58:43Sorry.
- 58:43This rambles so much has happened.
- 58:45Hard to write coherently.
- 58:46I need to take a drink of my water.
- 58:48Yes, so much has happened.
- 58:52Things have gone to H E double hockey sticks.
- 58:54This is after Thanksgiving then, because it's November 27th.
- 58:57Yeah.
- 58:57So I'm assuming it's after Thanksgiving.
- 58:59Short version.
- 59:00My brother's in law broke into my vacation home and were arrested.
- 59:04Oh my gosh.
- 59:06They've been charged with breaking and entering, destruction of property, and communicating threats.
- 59:11All class one misdemeanors.
- 59:13I refuse to drop the charges.
- 59:15I might do so if I'm fully paid for the damage they caused.
- 59:18They were still in jail as of Saturday evening.
- 59:21I assume when they're out by now.
- 59:23What?
- 59:27Things had settled down, or at least I thought so.
- 59:29Haven't seen or heard from my sisters in over six weeks.
- 59:32Parents went up to the house for a week, had a good time.
- 59:34David, the property manager, has worked out great.
- 59:36He's done a couple repairs I asked him to do, and I've given him a list of things to work on.
- 59:40Friday after Thanksgiving, my brother's in law went to my vacation home.
- 59:45They used angle grinder to cut through the chain on the driveway gate and damage the gate in the process.
- 59:53Those are not cheap.
- 59:55Those are not cheap.
- 59:56They tried to get in through the front door, ruin the lock set, and gouge the door badly.
- 1:00:01They finally got in through the utility floor door and a locked internal door.
- 1:00:07They also broke into the barn.
- 1:00:08I'm not sure why.
- 1:00:10They then went out through the front door where they were met by sheriff's deputies and David.
- 1:00:15David gets notifications from the camera system, so he saw what was going on and called the sheriff's department.
- 1:00:20Good for David.
- 1:00:22According to David, their brother's in law tried to BS their way out of it, but the deputies didn't buy it.
- 1:00:28Breaking into an empty house is a pretty serious thing up here.
- 1:00:31When the brothers in law were arrested, they freaked out big time, were saying how they were going to beat the crap out of me, etc.
- 1:00:37Not smart to do in front of cops.
- 1:00:39David in the sheriff's office tried calling my wife and me to see what we wanted to do, but we were spending the day with her parents and I left our phones in the car so we could be in vacation mode.
- 1:00:49So they booked the brothers in law on everything, which is what I would have asked them to do anyway.
- 1:00:54Brothers in law called their wives from jail, who of course freaked out.
- 1:00:57They called my folks, tried to call me, they're blocked.
- 1:01:01Tried to find a lawyer up there to arrange bail, easy to do given it's a rural area and was a holiday weekend.
- 1:01:08Older sister has zero cash in her cards and macs, so if they made bail, my middle sister would have had to pay for both husbands.
- 1:01:15I know they're still in jail as of Saturday afternoon.
- 1:01:17We didn't check our phones until late Friday on the way home from the in laws.
- 1:01:21There was a ton of calls, And messages from mom, dad, David, and the sheriff's department.
- 1:01:26Talk about ruining a great day.
- 1:01:28I was in such a good mood until I looked at my phone my wife read through the text and listened to the message Read them to me and by the time we got home.
- 1:01:35I had some idea of what was going on I put my brain back into thinking mode trying to get past my anger and failed called David Got the rundown on what happened and how bad the damage was resulting in more anger Poor dude this has just turned into a freaking mess.
- 1:01:50Okay.
- 1:01:51I ended Friday by calling the sheriff's department telling them there were, there was no misunderstanding.
- 1:01:56The brothers in law had absolutely no right to be on my property and I wanted to press charges.
- 1:02:00I didn't call my folks back, barely slept.
- 1:02:02I waited until Saturday afternoon to call my folks.
- 1:02:05They were both pretty rattled, my mom in particular.
- 1:02:07My sisters had browbeat them into telling me I should tell the cops it was all a mistake and that I wanted the charges dropped.
- 1:02:13I refused flat out and told them there's no way I'd do that until I spoke with an attorney and also not.
- 1:02:19And so I was paid in full or whatever it cost to fix everything a hundred percent.
- 1:02:24My mom was crying hard by the time we got off the phone for which of course made me feel like crap.
- 1:02:28My dad suggested it was time for a complete start over but also said he thought they needed to pay for the damage.
- 1:02:34Start over for what?
- 1:02:34Like Yeah, he just wants to get back in the hot tub.
- 1:02:38I haven't gone up to the property yet.
- 1:02:40There's nothing I can do.
- 1:02:41And I'll probably go nuts when I see the damage in person.
- 1:02:43The photos are bad enough.
- 1:02:44I'm hoping to go tomorrow or Wednesday, but my job isn't one I can just wander off for non emergencies.
- 1:02:49I've left messages with two attorney friends asking them to recommend the right lawyer or lawyers to go after my sisters and brothers in law.
- 1:02:57I don't know what I can do exactly, but I'm hoping to get restraining orders.
- 1:03:00I have all the texts they've sent me that might help.
- 1:03:03I'm strongly considering suing them for the money they made renting the place.
- 1:03:07I don't care about the cash at all.
- 1:03:09Make them as miserable as possible.
- 1:03:11He's like part of our crew.
- 1:03:15The clubs are definitely off at this point.
- 1:03:17A couple of side notes.
- 1:03:19Brothers in law had no idea I'd hired someone to keep an eye on the things or that the cameras were there now.
- 1:03:25Right.
- 1:03:26With the said monitored by video surveillance.
- 1:03:29There are signs on the property saying it's being monitored with cameras and no trespassing signs.
- 1:03:34My wife has completely had it at this point.
- 1:03:37I don't blame her.
- 1:03:38She's been more patient about it than I, but she has reached her limit.
- 1:03:41I was not shy about letting me know.
- 1:03:43She told me it's up to me how I deal with it, but she thought they all needed to be taught a hard lesson.
- 1:03:47Older brother in law likely won't face any repercussions at his job, but middle brother in law has security clearance.
- 1:03:54So he might.
- 1:03:54I'm hoping that'll be motivation for middle brother in law to pay for the damages himself immediately.
- 1:03:59I don't want to see or speak to any of these a holes for the rest of my life.
- 1:04:02I know this is in direct conflict with my overwhelming urge to make their lives as as possible.
- 1:04:09Oh my gosh.
- 1:04:09Final update.
- 1:04:10Thursday afternoon, I got a courier delivered envelope at my office.
- 1:04:13It was a signed letter from both my brother's in law and a cashier's check for 5, 000.
- 1:04:17In the letter, they made what I have to say was a sincere apology.
- 1:04:21Among other things, they acknowledged breaking in, that it was wrong, said the 5, 000 was to pay for damage and they'd pay more if it cost more than that.
- 1:04:28Also said they stay away from the vacation home unless my wife and I specifically invited them.
- 1:04:33They also asked me to do what I could to get the charges dropped as soon as possible because they could both lose their jobs and they'd agree to a restraining order or whatever else it took.
- 1:04:41To say this was a shock is an understatement.
- 1:04:44It was a one eighty from their past behavior.
- 1:04:47I'd already made an appointment with an attorney to see about suing my brother's in law over the damage and try to get a restraining order.
- 1:04:54I called him and told him what I just received.
- 1:04:56We met for about two hours.
- 1:04:57He ended up recommending the wife and I do a, quote, settlement and mutual release agreement with all four of them, sisters and brothers in law.
- 1:05:04He's drawing up the agreement, won't be ready till Monday.
- 1:05:07The agreement will include what's essentially the civil equivalent of a restraining order.
- 1:05:12On Friday, my attorney contacted each of the brothers in law, told them what we were proposing, advised them to get their own lawyers.
- 1:05:18They both agreed.
- 1:05:19The middle brother in law told him they could afford to either pay for the damages or pay for a lawyer, but not both.
- 1:05:24Not his problem.
- 1:05:25Right.
- 1:05:26And they figured a lawyer wouldn't make any difference given they had no defense for what they did.
- 1:05:31His biggest concern was the charges being dropped.
- 1:05:33From what I can tell, they're willing to do anything, sign anything, to make this go away.
- 1:05:38He's also advised me to continue to be no contact with them, especially for the next six months, that it will be really important to follow the terms of the agreement when it comes to future interactions with them.
- 1:05:48I don't think he's the problem with the contract.
- 1:05:51I'm guessing that the brothers in law change of heart is due to them having figured out what's at stake.
- 1:05:55What's going to cost them in legal fees, fines, so on.
- 1:05:57There's also the highly unlikely possibility they could go to jail for up to 120 days.
- 1:06:01This is their Hail Mary.
- 1:06:03past to keep their normal lives.
- 1:06:05What I want most of this point is to close this off, get on with my life, never speak to them again, I'm exhausted with this.
- 1:06:10Wife feels the same way.
- 1:06:13Tuesday morning, I met with my attorney, went over the agreement, changed a couple of minor things, and he sent it to my sisters and brothers in law and included a requirement they pay my attorney's fee, which is three grand.
- 1:06:24They weren't happy about that and tried to negotiate away, but he told them either accept it or not.
- 1:06:28or there would be no deal and we'd all proceed with suing them for the money.
- 1:06:31They got renting out of the place, wear and tear from renting it, costs from their break in, emotional distress, lost income for having to deal with this, attorney fees and whatever else we could.
- 1:06:40He told them I'd push hard with the DA's office to prosecute every charge.
- 1:06:43Short version, they came in and signed.
- 1:06:45I wasn't there.
- 1:06:46I was told it was a pretty tense environment that the middle brother in law appeared to have taken charge, and at one point he told both of my sisters to shut the H up, or he was walking away from the whole thing, making his own deal with us, and the rest of them could just go to H.
- 1:07:00They provided another cash ish check, 2, 500, claimed that's all they had.
- 1:07:05It's close enough that we're going to accept it as final payment.
- 1:07:08Attorney also told me everyone was very cold and cut towards one another, but they all managed to keep it together long enough to sign and left without making too big of a scene.
- 1:07:17I drove up to the vacation house early yesterday to check out the damage and meet with the DA's office.
- 1:07:21Seeing the damage made my blood boil.
- 1:07:23It was so senseless.
- 1:07:24I was so pissed that I was ready to eat the cost of the repairs and do everything I could to ruin their lives.
- 1:07:29Tried walking at all, failed utterly.
- 1:07:31Ended up calling a good friend who was kind enough to stay on the phone for over an hour, letting me spew and vent.
- 1:07:37He eventually got me back to focusing on the bigger picture of putting this behind me and getting on with my life.
- 1:07:42Honestly, I'm still not sure that's what I want to do, but I settled down enough to get some food in me and I felt better.
- 1:07:47He was hangry.
- 1:07:49He needed a Snickers.
- 1:07:52After lunch, I went to the DA's office.
- 1:07:54They're willing to drop it except for the charges of trespassing, which in this Case will be a class two misdemeanor.
- 1:08:00The brothers in law will have to plead guilty and pay whatever fine the judge sets.
- 1:08:03I'm also told if they fight the trespassing charge or ever so much as fart in public, they'll all go very poorly for them.
- 1:08:11Posting about all this and reading through responses has been really helpful, but has probably been key in being able to handle this in a relatively healthy way.
- 1:08:19So thank you all again.
- 1:08:21Oh my Lanta.
- 1:08:24So apparently the sisters are now fighting because I'm sure.
- 1:08:28Oh, everybody hates each other now.
- 1:08:30Yeah, but Sisters now hate each other.
- 1:08:33Brother in laws don't like each other.
- 1:08:36And the one brother in law at least hates his wife, because they're all a holes.
- 1:08:40But, could you not see that like, well he made me go up there, like the older brother in law.
- 1:08:43Like, it's not my fault yeah, yeah.
- 1:08:45Well, and it goes back to the very very beginning where, mmm, it's your fault that the kids fell in the pool and they can't swim.
- 1:08:51Like, oh my gosh.
- 1:08:53These people are horrible.
- 1:08:55They're You just need to let us use it.
- 1:08:57No, there was never even, you know, i, my, my kids are jerks.
- 1:09:00Yeah.
- 1:09:00I'm really sorry.
- 1:09:00Can, can I take you to lunch at the, for a little apology?
- 1:09:04Yeah.
- 1:09:05On I was having a bad day.
- 1:09:06I was hangry.
- 1:09:07Yeah.
- 1:09:07None of that.
- 1:09:08Yeah.
- 1:09:09I was drunk.
- 1:09:10I'm so sorry.
- 1:09:10Like it was out of hand.
- 1:09:12I'm sorry.
- 1:09:12Right.
- 1:09:13No, it was, you're wrong.
- 1:09:14I'm right.
- 1:09:15You owe me money before my phone that my kids ruined, because they were being jerks and I was allowing it.
- 1:09:22Right.
- 1:09:23And then they broke into this house.
- 1:09:27Don't you want to see the footage?
- 1:09:29Totally.
- 1:09:29I want to see if they're drunk.
- 1:09:31Um, sorry about those drunk raccoons.
- 1:09:36They were doing shots like as they were walking.
- 1:09:38I mean, okay, so they didn't see the signs.
- 1:09:42Okay, big chain link lock.
- 1:09:45They hacked through.
- 1:09:46That they hacked through and then the doors that they busted down.
- 1:09:50Oh my gosh.
- 1:09:51And then he said there's more damage too.
- 1:09:53I'm, I'm mad for this Oh my gosh.
- 1:09:56Yeah.
- 1:09:56Oh, and that's the paper that he should pay for their college.
- 1:10:00Oh my gosh.
- 1:10:02Yeah, crazy pants.
- 1:10:03Yeah and those poor parents.
- 1:10:05I know It sucks family You're not always going to agree with what people do.
- 1:10:11I just can't imagine cutting people out of my life.
- 1:10:15I can because I have.
- 1:10:17Yeah.
- 1:10:17So, I understand that your quality of life.
- 1:10:21Yeah.
- 1:10:22Sometimes has to be considered.
- 1:10:24It does.
- 1:10:25It does.
- 1:10:26You're right.
- 1:10:27It does.
- 1:10:28And I guess it just depends on which side of the coin you're in or on rather, but it's just.
- 1:10:34Like this dude, I don't blame him.
- 1:10:35These people are nothing but greedy leeches.
- 1:10:39Off with their head.
- 1:10:40Off with their head.
- 1:10:42Yeah, I feel, I feel really bad for this dude.
- 1:10:45I do too, and he in no way is wrong, like.
- 1:10:48No! And he tried But you know what, I, not that I, I would believe the sisters, like at all, because they're freaking horrible.
- 1:10:55But I want to know, I want to see, like, a video of them, like, giving the story.
- 1:11:00Do you know, you know in like, Real Housewives, they have the confessionals.
- 1:11:03I was just It's probably like that.
- 1:11:04The confessional.
- 1:11:05It's probably that.
- 1:11:06Jeez.
- 1:11:08Yeah, like I'm Holly and I want, I want to know.
- 1:11:11The more I read about this, the more, like they took so much advantage of this dude.
- 1:11:16I feel like the middle sister's, husband is level headed because he did not really get involved much.
- 1:11:21He didn't put up a fight the first time around calling, the sister made him call.
- 1:11:24Yeah.
- 1:11:25And he was just like, okay, cool.
- 1:11:26Sorry.
- 1:11:27And like hung up.
- 1:11:28Yeah.
- 1:11:29And that's when I was like, everybody can shut up or else I'm making my own deal and you all can like go kick rocks, I just, and I'm sure that this dude here, I'm sure he's.
- 1:11:38He's not perfect.
- 1:11:39No, I'm sure but it sounds like he's the black sheep of the family you know, yeah, the sisters were probably like super close growing up or like they're like I'm actually like like cheerleaders yeah, we're annoying I was picturing some of the sisters from Bridgerton.
- 1:11:51Did you watch Bridgerton?
- 1:11:52Um, I was picturing Penelope's sisters and like their husbands that they tell their husbands everything to do.
- 1:11:57Yeah, that's kind of what I'm picturing Yeah, I'm picturing like almost like in mean girls, you know?
- 1:12:01Oh yeah.
- 1:12:01Like the clique.
- 1:12:02Yeah.
- 1:12:02Like those are the sisters the older sister has a meathead.

- 1:12:24I want to know the conversation between the two brothers in law when they're like, let's go to the house.
- 1:12:29Yes.
- 1:12:30And how did they have a saw?
- 1:12:32How far away was it from all their houses as well?
- 1:12:35Like, is that like an hour, two hours?
- 1:12:38How far did they drive?
- 1:12:39And how did this How much, because I don't carry a saw in my car.

- 1:12:48So it sounds Take that out.
- 1:12:52So, I mean, they were a little prepared to break into this place.

- 1:12:58Yeah.
- 1:12:58Well if you're looking to someone who you want to let use your vacation home We are available.
