  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Keon. And this is Dakota, your favorite
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: OK Storytime host. And we've got some great stories coming up.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: But before that, we have a two-minute break from the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: sponsors that keep the show going.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: My girlfriend's homeless family moved into my house. Now I'm
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: broke AF.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: How did that happen?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: My girlfriend, 30 female, and I, 29 male, have been
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: together for four years. I thought I knew everything about
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: her until a few weeks ago when I found out
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: that her father passed away and her mother and three
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: sisters are homeless. We were forced to be the babysitters
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: of her sisters. At first, everything was fine, but it
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: got worse quickly. The family budget increased rapidly. My girlfriend's
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: sisters do not respect me. They cry and insult me.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: They broke some deer objects. And it is hard to
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: come home from work and find the house a mess
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: and cooking for five to six people. My girlfriend's depression
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: is increasing and she can hardly get out of bed.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: But I need help immediately. My salary doesn't even cover
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: a tiny part of it. I am working overtime and
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I am exhausted. I asked my girlfriend to get a
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: job or it will be impossible to continue the rhythm
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: of the life we are having. By the way, this
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: comes from Estrellente. And if you want to submit your
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: own stories, go to the r slash ok story times subreddit.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I am Sophia.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I'm Dakota.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: And I'm Savannah.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: And I just realized, I think that was Estrella Ente.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: Sorry.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: $ 1. 50.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: And if you're here to listen, we've got good advice
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: for you. So listen close.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Everyone needs a job. This is OP right now.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: Whoa.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: And what this is, what this is, is a workhorse.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's a workhorse?
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: Hold on.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I'm not a great artist visually.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: What?
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: You don't say.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, this is OP.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: That's Opie. Opie says, my girlfriend is angry with me.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: She says that I don't support her enough. And my
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: father tells me that I should be a man and
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: face this situation for the woman I love.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I support your whole freaking family.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: That's crazy to be like, you don't support me enough.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I am supporting your whole family on one salary.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Literally straight up. I just go, you get a job.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: You get a job. You get a job. You get
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a job.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: You get a job.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: You get a job, little girls. I'm leaving.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: You're not my problem anymore.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Goodbye. Go sell Girl Scout cookies.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: For all I care. I don't know what to do.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Am I the a-hole for my request? So far from
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the a-hole, I am so sad for you.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: I cry.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I cry for you.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Tears. Yeah.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Make them all homeless again.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, if they're not going to help and you're
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: just drowning in this, the amount of work that they're
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: putting on you. Relevant comments say not the a-hole. You
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have to pay for her family's expenses and such.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: even if you were married. Right now, she's just your girlfriend.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I'm outraged for you. Are you sure this is the
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: relationship you want? Opie says, thanks. The truth is that, no,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: it's not the relationship I would like. And it's been
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: a while since we were no longer good. Plus, she
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: lied to me all this time saying she had no family.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Whoa.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Wait, so you went from thinking that she didn't have
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: any family to all of them living in your house?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Not only did she have family, they were all homeless
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and now they live with you and you have to
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: pay for them? Well, no, they weren't.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I don't think they were all homeless. I think they
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: lost her father and then.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, never mind.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that does. Okay, I missed that.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: It's shocking because I'm giving it all and it's still
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: not enough. Common Two says, take your father's advice. Be
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: a man and make the tough decision of punting them
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: all out to save your own sanity. You are not
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: obligated to take care of everyone else while your own
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: health deteriorates. Opie says, I don't want to throw them out.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I don't have the heart, but my spirit is broken
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and my body is at the limit. I think I've
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: aged a year and a week. That's why I made
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: this proposal and I can't take it anymore. Comment three says,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I don't understand your father. Be a man? Did he
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: have an experience of taking care of four homeless women
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: and one depressed girlfriend by himself?
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: That's a good question.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: Dad.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: OP says, thanks for commenting. My father is old school.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: In that sense, for him, a man lives for his
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: wife or girlfriend. And that philosophy is carried out rigorously.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: That's why he asks me to endure more. For my
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: girlfriend whom I love, even if it takes me to
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the limit. It is different to take yourself to the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: limit for your girlfriend and your girlfriend alone.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Push it to the limit.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: But he is pushing it to the limit for his
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: girlfriend and his girlfriend's entire family.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: This man is at his limit.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Have you ever seen a horse?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: This is an artist's representation of what this guy's feeling like.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: And I have seen.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: A horse that was hurtful.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't believe it. I just don't believe it.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Harriet Spaghetti says how Dakota sees horses is very different
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: from how the rest of us see horses. That's true.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: Jump in.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Jump in.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: But we've got an update, folks. One week later. Basically,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I showed everyone that I hadn't even finished the first
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: week of the month and I was already in negative numbers.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Her mother explained to me that the same thing was
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: happening with her sister, where her daughters go to sleep
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: and they don't even have a mattress anymore. Or room
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: for themselves. They were saving up to buy them. That's
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: why they ate and lived during the day at my house.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I don't think that was fair. And we argued. Everything
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: got worse when my girlfriend gave me an ultimatum. Either
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: we did things the way we were doing them or
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: we broke up. Broke up sounds better. than doing things
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the way that we were doing them.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh shoot. Oh shoot, I guess we're gonna break up.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Oh shoot.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Oh man.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I guess you and all of your family has to
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: leave our house.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Oh shoot.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Bummer.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I guess we're gonna break up.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Oh man.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: He's happy about it. I was expecting that low blow,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: so I started to sell some things to pay the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: month's rent. and the fine for leaving early. And I
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: will wait until this weekend to move in with my
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: mother or stepbrother. All this under secrecy. The situation is
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: on fire, and I don't want to add gasoline to
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the problem. About my father, my stepmother put him in
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: his place and apologized to me, which is rare for him.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Papa.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Papa coming through.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Good pop pop.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Papa said, son, I've thought about it, and I actually
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: think it's a little whack that your girlfriend is making
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: you house everyone.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, son, I realized I had drank too many Jack
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: and Cokes that night.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I realized I was trying to pull myself up by
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: my bootstraps that morning, and I got angry because I
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: couldn't do it.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I couldn't figure out why I was feeling that way.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: I realized I watched Pies of the Caribbean.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: And I realized I am in love with Keira Knightley.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I had to realize I'm not bootstrap built, huh? Oh, my. Oh.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow, you got that at the ready.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, my.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: Keira Knightley.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: She really had that Keira Knightley ready.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, she's gorgeous. Honestly, I would have liked a nicer update,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: but no. Feeling like a stranger in your own home
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: is the worst. Relevant comments. Comment one. Wait. Do you
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: have a relevant comment?
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I gave the horse better legs.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: It looks like ancient drawings. Like if you took away
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the face, it looks like an ancient drawing of a horse.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: So in a way, you're telling me I'm a classic.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're kind of a classic artist.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a horse.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Comment one.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Are you on the lease or mortgage? What's your housing
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: situation here? OP says lease contract, and I am the
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: only one on the signature. Between tomorrow and the day after,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I contact the owner, who is aware of the situation
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: from what I found out. I will have to pay
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: a fine or penalty. And this month, and see the
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: situation of my girlfriend. I do not know what will
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: become of that, sincerely. Common 2 says, dude, you have
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: to talk to your landlord to get these people punted out.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: But it might become more of a headache at the
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: end of the day. Try and get out as fast
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: as possible. This is toxic behavior on your girlfriend's part.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: And the fact that she doesn't have a job is wild.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: What about the mother? Why doesn't she have a job?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: How old are the sisters? Can they get a job?
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: OP says, I'm talking to the landlady. We will see
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: how to move forward, but for sure financially she'll leave
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: me broke. And about the mother, I don't know her
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: well enough. I know she can't drive, but I don't
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: know much more. And my girlfriend, when she had her
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: anxiety attacks and severe depression three years ago, agreed that
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: she would be a housewife and have part-time jobs. She's
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: not a wife.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: She's not a wife.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: She's not your wife yet.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: You don't have children.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: She's gotta be a housewife?
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: What?
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: That's, uh, dude, like.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be so for real, like... Are you colorblind,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: my dog?
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's so... I mean, I'm, you know,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not a doctor, but I feel like... Your wife
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: staying at home all day probably doesn't help her depression.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: No. No, silly.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Just a shot in the dark.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Everyone knows the sun makes
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: you sad.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know I'm not a doctor, but maybe, just maybe.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Look at it.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: It's beautiful. Keep them coming. Keep them coming.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I made him cool. I made him cool.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You don't have any cool guys.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: No, not that guy.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: That guy's not cool. Whoever that is, uncool.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Look at those lips, man.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: What dog were they looking at? For almost two years now, she's...
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I feel like it speaks like this.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: Hello there.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Yes, of course. How dare you speak to me in
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: that tone?
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Hello there.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: My name is Paul. My name is Paul.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: No, he talk like this.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: No, that's my brother.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: You're getting confused with my brother.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: I am your only ground.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: My name is Paul.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: My name is Paul. You must pick me up. How
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: dare you speak to me? I demand you pick me up. Oppies. Oppies.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Pick me up.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Give me the oppie.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: My name is Paul.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Pick me up. Give me the oppie.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: You will give me the oppie.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: For almost two years now, she is not working. And
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: the passing of her father made her decline a lot.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Her sisters are 12, 5, 4, and 2. Two-year-old can
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: get a job. Yeah.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Put that baby to work as a baby model.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: OP said that, like, all of her sisters were bullying him.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: A 12, a five, and a four-year-old and a two-year-old
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: are bullying you.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: If you add all of them up, they can go
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: get a job.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: All right, come on.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: So true.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: If you add all their ages together, that's well within
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: working age.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Very true.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty confident that's exactly how that works. They can
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: also drink. Well, I mean... No, that's because that only
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: applies to labor. Oh, okay.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Why can't OP evict everyone else and keep the place?
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: OP says that place brings back horrible vibes, memories, and feelings. Besides,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: if I stay, they would know where I live, and
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I fear reprisals, sincerely. I'm sorry, what? Do you mean
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: that you fear that they're going to, like.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: That two-year-old's got a real mean streak in him.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: OP's like, I fear that they're going to come in
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: and start singing the reprisal song. They're going to go, hello,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: we're back. We've come to stay another two years.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: A's town.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: No, they're just going to throw a Molotov through the window, dude.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Hello, we're back. We're throwing a Molotov in your window.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Please don't do that.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Hello, my name is Paul.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: I'm throwing a Molotov cocktail.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: In your window.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: Please do not do this.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Uh, what does OP know about the girlfriend's family? OP says,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know her family at all. Just a few
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: weeks ago, I knew that they were estranged and no
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: contact for many years. Even my girlfriend said she had
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: no family. At that point, she was destroyed in her
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: relationship with her parents until the passing of her father.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: And there's an update too, five days later. That is
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: crazy to go from like, your girlfriend of four years
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: told you that she does not have family and then
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: they're all living in your house. I know I said
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: that before, but that is insane.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like that's an immediate kind of like we're done
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: here type situation, right?
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: And like what was the conversation where she said all
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: of my family is moving into this house?
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: That was it.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: All my family's moving into this house and that's what's happening.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Two, four, five, 12 year old girls are all moving
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: into this house. None of us will get jobs and
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: you will provide for all of us, yes?
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: They're basically 25.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Yes or yes? Update two five days later. Well, this
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: update is better.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, change that.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Change that horse to happy.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, contrary.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Turn that frowl.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Frowl.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Turn that frowl.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: It is good. It's a good horse.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Look how cool this horse is.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Look how cool that horse is.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Look, he's smoking.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: This week was crazy.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Stop it. That's terrifying. Why do they give the dogs
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: weird human faces?
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: This is what it looks like.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: That one's the one that sounds like, hello.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Hello.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Hello. He comes into your room.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: I've been outside for three days.
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: I threw up.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: I threw up in the other room.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: Mommy, I threw up.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: I don't feel good.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I don't feel good.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Hello.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, we got more. This week was crazy. Due to
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: stress and tiredness, I had problems with work, but I
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: was able to talk to my landlady. We came to
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: the conclusion that the best thing to do is to
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: end the contract. She would be in the whole process
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: of moving and all that, giving me a month of rent.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: penalizing me for ending the contract prematurely. So I sold
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: almost half of my stuff. I would have sold a
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: little more, but I didn't have the time to pay
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: both moving trucks and all the fines. My relationship with
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: my girlfriend, even living with her, was cold. I barely
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: spoke and called her by her full name. What? You're like,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Jessica Smith. Hey, Jessica Smith, I'm moving out today.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Jessica Smith.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Jessica, Jessica Marie Smith, I'm out of here.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: Jessica Smith the 18th.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I think she noticed because she started to tell me
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: not to leave or to forgive her. But I couldn't
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: even look at her. I was a sea of tears
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: the whole week. But I'm getting better.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Tears for fears.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Tears for fears.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: A sea of tears for fears.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: The day of the move, which was yesterday, the girls
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: were not there.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Only her.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: And it was crazy. Screaming. Punting. Insulting.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: I love that.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I love the Will Ferrell movie pumping, pumping, pumping. Never mind.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Never mind. Punting and screaming.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: I love the Will Ferrell movie, pumping and screaming.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: I love the Will Ferrell movie, pumping and screaming.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: I love the Will Ferrell movie, pumping and screaming.
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: Huh?
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I flew up last night. Oh.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: You know that, guys?
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: It's just like, yes.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: It's just like.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm working on it.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: That guy sounds like this.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I see that.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: But my mom and stepmother, along with some friends, helped
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: me in my move that was done in half an hour. Oh,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I thought I had more things.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Dang, you got nothing.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, half an hour is quick.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Remember that movie, You've Got Mail, with Tom Hanks and
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Meg Ryan? You don't have any. It'd be like if
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: you were in that movie, but the movie was You've
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Got Nothing.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: You've got no mail. On her part, she called a
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: friend and a mutual friend who took her things. In total,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: it must have been an hour of work and half
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: an hour of screaming and crying. But thanks to my
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: mom and stepmother, I could get through it without crying. Yesterday,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I had to block my girlfriend and also her family.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I hope they don't keep bothering me, but with that family,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know. About my father, we don't talk and
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: he didn't show up. I only know that they are
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: not united in their thoughts on this. I don't know
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: if our relationship will be the same. And now I'm
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: living with my stepbrother and his boyfriend. I sleep on
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: a sofa and I have a lot of freedom. I
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: can go back to sleeping in boxers and instead I
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: have to work at his business on Saturdays. But I
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: have a house and food insured even though I am
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: financially broke.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: My nose got very itchy.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: As one's nose does.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: My nose got very itchy.
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: Can you scratch my nose?
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: Please scratch my nose. Please.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: And then like one day he just goes, Mama.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he grows up. Finally, I would like to tell
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: everyone why I am precipitated in this situation.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: You're getting rained on?
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: You don't know words.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Maybe they meant to say, I would like to know, everyone,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: where I stand in this precipitous situation.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I'd like to tell everyone my preconceived notions about this situation.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, contextual.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: If I had a coin for every time a relative
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: of my partner comes to live in my house, I
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: would have two coins. Which is not much, but it
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: is curious that it happened twice. Long ago, an ex
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: brought her father, who lost his house. At first, I said, well,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I have to help. But quickly, it became heck. We've
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: got a little bit to discuss, but what do you think?
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I think these people will be so.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: I believe these people will be so nice together.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: I think these people will be very nice together.
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: The family will remain together through thick and thin. It
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: matters not what you do to them. They will have
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: each other forever.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Give me another dog. Give me another dog.
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: Hi, guys!
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Hey!
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: Oh, no.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Hey, I know you're having a party without me.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Hey, Timmy, we meant to tell you about it.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: Hey!
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: But it's over now.
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: Oh, it's over? We meant to tell you about the party, Timmy, but.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: Now it is over. You must go.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Why? Why can't we start the party up again, guys?
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: The party is not happening anymore. The party is gone.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: But it's my birthday.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: You must leave my house right now.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: But I also live here. I'm your roommate.
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: No, not anymore. You are gone.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: You're punching me out of my own house?
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: I am literally throwing you to the wolves. Oh, man.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I guess I'll just sit on this stoop and pass away.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: That's probably what you will do. You did this to yourself, Timmy.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: You're right, guys.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: You're going to let that guy stay?
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Without me?
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: That is my mother.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, she's beautiful. She's beautiful. Anyway, there was a little
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: bit left. That was really good, guys.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Really, really good.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Let's do it again sometime.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: The man walked as if he was the owner of
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: the house. He brought his friends to play cards and
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: stayed all night on work days. He did nothing. He
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: ate everything. He did not wash his clothes. His hygiene
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: was terrible. He walked in tighty-whities all the time. And
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: he forbade me to sleep with my girlfriend. He made
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: her sick. Getting him out was difficult and very traumatic.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: He broke things and made that month heck for us.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: But he left not before knocking me out in the
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: street and humiliating me.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: What is your life? The relationship with that woman passed
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: away after that. I did not want to repeat all
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: that again.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Well, you did.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: You repeated it shockingly shortly after.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: Like right away.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Right away you repeated it. You need to say no.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: You could say no, you know?
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: You could... You can try.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: You can say no.
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: You.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: But you cannot say no to me.
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: You cannot say no to me.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Hey, why not?
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: Oh my God, I cannot believe I'm still alive.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I'm outside the window. I didn't go far.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I thought just in case you wanted me to come
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: back inside.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Okay, Timmy, I want you to come in, but not yet.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: I am going to... You are going to hear a.
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: Lot of heavy machinery noises, but that has nothing to
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: do with anything.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: Give me about seven hours, and then you come in
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: through the back door.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe they're making my birthday gift.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Why are you building another penis in the back door?
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: God damn it, mother.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: What'd you say over there? We got another story, though.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: My boyfriend gave me an ultimatum because I'm paired with
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: my ex as a bridesmaid.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: It's not even my fault. Trigger warning for mentions of
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: child loss.
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: I-25.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Female, have been with my boyfriend Tommy, 27 male, for
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: 11 months. He's a really caring guy and has always
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: treated me well. Like any couple, we've had small disagreements,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: but nothing major until now. It's been in the minor leagues.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: We've been in AAA, AA, single A. For context, my
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: older sister, Kimmy, spelled K-I-M-I. Cool. 31 female is getting
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: married to her fiancé, Gray, spelled G-R-A-Y-E.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: Weird.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Kind of also cool.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: 23 male.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Mmm. In three months. Gray happens to be the cousin
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: of my ex-boyfriend, Levi. 26 male. Levi and I dated
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: from freshman year of high school through college until I
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: broke up with him two years ago. He had developed
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: feelings for his now girlfriend, Tammy. 24 female. whom he
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: had met in college. The breakup was mutual and there
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: are no hard feelings. We're on good terms. I'm glad
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: neither of you are making each other hard. I've known
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Levi since I was six and we were best friends
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: growing up, sharing the same friend group. Because of that,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time at his house and
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: his family became like a second family to me. Even
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: after our breakup, his parents, two older sisters, and extended
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: family continued inviting me to family events. I attended a few,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: but once Levi told me that Tammy felt uncomfortable with
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: my presence, I started going less. Out of respect.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: This was before I started dating Tommy.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Tommy and Tammy.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Tommy, Tammy, Kimmy, Gray. And Levi. Kimmy kept going to
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: family events and she was with Gray. That said, I
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: still occasionally see Levi at small parties hosted by my
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: best friend, May.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: 25 female.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: May Parker?
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: May.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: Aunt May?
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: May the force be with you.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Marissa Toe. May.
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: May?
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: She and her boyfriend, Hunter. All right, there's too many
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: freaking names.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Relax with the names, OP.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Keep it at a minimum. I was trying to keep
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: it in. My friend and her partner. We could have
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: kept it that.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: All these people aren't relevant, I swear.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: They better all be relevant. He swears.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: She and her boyfriend, Hunter, 26 male, are still close
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: with Levi, so he's sometimes there.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: We don't really interact much at these events.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Tommy has met Levi at these gatherings and has even
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: spoken with him a few times. He never mentioned having
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: an issue with it. By the way, this comes from
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: user Dingus Zebra. All right.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: And if you want to submit your own stories, go
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: to the r slash okay story time subreddit. I'm Dakota.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I'm Sophia. And I'm Savannah.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: And we're going to read this little ditty, this little tale.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Tall tale.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: And we're going to have our thoughts and you get
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: to have yours too. You can put them in the comments.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Take a look at them.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: Who knows?
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Maybe we'll even respond.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'll eat them.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: Has a little morsel.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Okay. Opie says, now, on to the problem. Kimmy and
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Gray's wedding is a small intimate event with only close
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: friends and family. I'm a bridesmaid and Levi is a groomsman,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: which means we're paired up to walk down the aisle together. Hey,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: is that what that means? Can't you go, hey, don't
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: pair me up with my literal ex-boyfriend?
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we could say like, hey, I don't want to
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: do that. Because if Tammy didn't even like the fact
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: that you were at the family gatherings, I'm sure she's
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: not going to like that you're paired up with your
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: ex-boyfriend either.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Also, like, I just was at a wedding last weekend,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: and I got to say... Not a single soul is
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: going to care how the bridesmaids and the groomsmen walk
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: up the aisle.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: No one cares.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: They could be walking up two, three, one at a time.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: No one cares.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: If anyone says they care, I arrest them. I put
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: them under observation because that is an alien. That is
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: a creature from a different planet.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: For real.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I was initially a bit uncomfortable with this, but I
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: love my sister and want to support her, so I
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: put my feelings aside.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Literally, why didn't you just say, hey, could I be
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: paired up with anyone else?
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Hey, remember how I used to date him and he's
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: my ex? Could I be paired up with anyone else?
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: My boyfriend's here. Levi's girlfriend, Tammy, is invited and she's
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: totally fine with everything as the most interaction Levi and
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I will have is walking together for a few seconds.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: But Tommy is furious. Is he also fast?
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Or is he too fast?
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: Too furious. Is he from Tokyo?
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Is he drifting?
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: That was good. He now refuses to attend the wedding
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: and has given me an ultimatum. Either I step down
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: as a bridesmaid, attend only as a guest, or not
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: go at all. What? I, of course, told him no. Yeah,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I think that's... Dude! Hey, we're in Breakup City at
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: that point.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Breakup! Again, you're a space alien, bro.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I get it's my ex, but we're walking side by
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: side for two seconds.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Also, he could have been like, hey, could you maybe
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: ask your sister if you could switch partners? Instead of
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: being like, we're breaking up if you don't skip your
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: sister's wedding.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: I don't think he even said, well, I guess an
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: ultimatum is an ultimatum. But he said, you have to
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: either do this or do that or not go. Or
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: else I'll be mad.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's insane.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: So I, of course, told him no.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Get a load of this guy.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Get a load of this guy.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Why don't you get a load of this guy? I
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: should get a good schwimmer. Schwimmer.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: We can't hear the door, so.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: You can't hear the door.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: I thought the wind did that.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: We were just all staring at the board coming. Okay,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: so this is my sister's wedding, and I want to
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: be there for her. It's not my fault her fiance
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: is related to Levi. Tommy lost it. He shouted at me,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: called me horrible names, accused me of wanting to cheat
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: on him with Levi, then broke some of my things
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: before storming out.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, and that's where we break up. Bye.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm breaking that. I'm breaking that relationship.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: We're breaking up now.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Where's that sword?
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Can you put that sword, put it forward? Just go like, yeah.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: And that's your liver. And that's your kidney. That's your
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: other kidney. Slice your nose off.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: And this is your mother.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Beast.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Beast.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Foul beast. What? Beast. I cast you back to the
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: depths from which you came.
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: Just chill.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: Just leaves. All right. See ya.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I'm going. I'm going.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: If that's what you want. Whatever you want, sweetheart.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: He's now staying at a friend's place and refuses to
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: see or talk to me. Sick.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: I've never seen him this angry before.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I've never given him any reason to think I'd cheat
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: on him, and Levi and I don't go out of
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: our way to talk to each other, so I have
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: no idea where this is coming from. After talking to
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: May and my friends about it, word got back to Levi,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: and he actually offered to step down as a groomsman
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: to avoid drama, and I told him not.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: To do that.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: My family now knows what happened because Levi told Gray
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: and my parents are furious. Kimmy is disgusted by how
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Tommy treated me. They don't want him at the wedding anymore.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I've tried reaching out to Tommy. I hope to break
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: up with him. I hope so. But his friend texted
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: me that he doesn't want to see me. This reaction
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: is completely out of character. He's always been a great boyfriend,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: but this whole situation is making me question things.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: So am I the a-hole?
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: Oh, P.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: OP, he broke things. He broke things.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: Hey, OP.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: He broke things.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do it to you now. Tickle, tickle.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Wake up.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Not only are you the a-hole, but you also owe
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: me $ 15, 000. You owe him $ 15, 000 for how many $ 1.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: 50s you're owing him? Yeah.
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: What?
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: That's $ 15, 000.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: I don't have that money. Or would that be $ 10, 000?
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: $ 10, 000 50s.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I don't have that.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going now.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: Bye-bye.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: My friends and family say I'm not, but I need
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: an outsider's perspective.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: You gross. Listen to your family, bro.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Everyone on the internet is going to be like, yeah,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: break up with your scumbag loser boyfriend.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Outsider perspective, break up.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to get an outsider perspective. Did Tommy
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: break any of your things the other day? Does he
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: go to everyone's house and break their stuff when he
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: gets a little uppity?
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Did Tommy come to everyone's house and say that they
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: suck and make them have an ultimatum? Hi, guys. I
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: broke your stuff.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: The bit never stops. This bit goes on forever. I
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: broke your stuff.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: Why have you done this to me, Tommy?
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: I keep saying I'm leaving. I just get FOMO.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Kim Fine says the only Tommies are white dudes who
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: cheat and or 75% of character roles played by Joseph Gordon.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: I love it. And you're 100% right about that. You're 100%
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: right about that. And speak on that.
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: There's an edit here.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Thank you everyone for opening my eyes.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: I'm going to ditch Tommy and back his things. I'll
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: be contacting his friends he's staying with to fetch most
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: of his things. Again, thank you. And this is my
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: last edit. A lot of people are asking why I
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: couldn't be paired with someone else. My sister and her
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: fiancé chose the pairings based on what felt most comfortable
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: for everyone. Since Levi and I already know each other
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: well and are on good terms, they thought it would
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: be the least awkward option. It's the dumbest thing. I'm sorry,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: that's so stupid.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Dumb dumb.
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Poke poke. So we're not going to have anyone meeting
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: anyone they.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Don't know at the wedding?
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: This is stupid.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: You could just go, hey, nice to meet you.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: I'm so-and-so.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm so-and-so. How do you know the bride and groom? Oh,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I know my name.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: We walk for five seconds.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Five seconds.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Thank God nobody was uncomfortable, though. Oh, my God. In
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: a way, though, this is a good thing because it
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: exposed Tommy as being a little doo-doo man. Tommy sucks.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: It wasn't done to cause drama, just to make things
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: easier for the bridal party. I know Levi and I
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: have a long history together. We've been through a lot.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: I still care for him from a distance. but our
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: relationship truly began to break down after we lost our son. Whoa. Ooh, no. Oh.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: That is hard.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, we didn't, we, oh.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: We, well, we were young. And while we stayed together
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: for a few more years, things were never the same. Eventually,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Levi developed feelings for someone else, his current girlfriend, and
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: he was honest with me about it before pursuing her.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: We ended things on mutual terms because in that moment
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: I realized I no longer.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Felt the same way either.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: We simply fell out of love. It happens.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: And there's an update.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, I hope it's... I have started a new life.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: And I live in Peru.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: There once was a man from Peru.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: He lived in a little small shoe. Say that again?
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: There was a man from Peru.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: I have killed many men from Peru. What?
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: Update.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I packed up most of Tommy's things and texted his
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: friend to come pick them up. I gave him two
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: days to grab his stuff out of my home. He
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: did not come the next day. When he arrived, he
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: came inside alone while his friend waited in the car.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: My dad and older cousin were with me just in case.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Is that true? Yeah.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: I would have taken the money.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: He said he wanted to work things out and start over,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: but I immediately rejected the idea.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I was going to have a conniption.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Love to see it.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: If you got back together with this guy.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would have been pretty stupid.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Dakota, your favorite good time boy host here.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: We're going to get back to the stories, but here's
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: three minutes of ads from our sponsors. I have little
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: to no trust in him now. And for me, once
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: trust is gone, the relationship is gone. I asked him
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: why he suddenly had such a problem with Levi when
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: he never did before, even when we attended family events
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: and friend gatherings together. And that's when he admitted something
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I hadn't known. He had gone through my closet?
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Weird.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Hmm. He was looking for something and came across a
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: small flowery chest where I keep special memories, photo albums, letters,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: and small gifts from family, friends, and past experiences. Curious,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: he decided to look through it. Inside, he found letters
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Levi had written me, gift cards from family and friends,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: and a few drawings Levi had made for me. Then
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: he found my two photo albums. One was filled with
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: childhood pictures of my family, friends, and Levi from when
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: we were kids all the way through high school, graduation,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: and college. The second album was handmade. Levi's older sister
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: had made it for us, and Levi had gifted it
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: to me. It was a green polka dot album with
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: a heart and the letter L on the cover. This
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: album held some of my most personal and meaningful pictures
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: of us as kids, in high school, and as adults. Tommy, Tommy, Tommy.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I went through my ex's diary after like two months.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: That is bad. You should not have done that. He
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: said great things about me. You still shouldn't have done that.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: He had just gotten it, too, and he was like, yeah.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: I was like, can I read it? He did let
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: me read it anyway.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: But, yeah.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: But then I also, like, went through it.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: Because I was like, what else do you have to
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: say that you're not telling me?
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Don't do that. Don't follow in Savannah's way.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Savannah, I'm going to start throwing stuff at you.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: That's a bad thing.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: That's a bad thing.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I am your mother.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Get ready.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: And don't do that. I'm throwing this cap at you.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: No, no. Play defense. Savannah, you deserve it.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: You deserved that. Learn. We're trying to teach you for
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: your next relationship. Don't do that.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: No, I need that back.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: He needs that back.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I need that cat back. I need that cat back.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: You don't have to smile now.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: He said that after seeing that photo, he felt like
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: he could never compete with what I had with Levi,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: that no matter what he did, I would never love
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: him as much. He said he never felt this way
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: with his two ex-girlfriends, but with me, it was different.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: He felt like I had already given all my love
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: to someone else. He said he noticed the little things
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: that when he gave me gifts, I didn't seem as excited.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: When he brought me flowers or a gift card, I
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: would just say thank you, put them on the counter
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: and move on. Unlike Levi's gifts, which I kept in
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: a special box, he didn't seem to hold the same
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: meaning to me.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: How do you know that?
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: You want her to dry and preserve every batch of
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: flowers you give her?
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's insane.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: You've also been dating for less than a year.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: Come on, dude.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: He even found one of the cards he gave me
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: in the kitchen trash bin. I felt absolutely terrible when
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: he said that. I never meant to make him feel
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: that way.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: That's actually a little crazy.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I never threw away anything he gave me. Everything he
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: gifted me was in my nightstand drawer. Sure, it wasn't
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: in a memory box like Levi's things, but that didn't
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: mean I didn't care. Then he said something that really
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: hurt me. He told me that seeing me pregnant in
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: that photo made him uncomfortable, that it felt weird, and
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: that he didn't like it. I didn't even understand what
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: he meant. But hearing him say that was the worst.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: At that point, I broke down crying. He had been
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: holding in all these feelings, all this resentment, and instead
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: of ever talking to me about it, he let it
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: all bottle up until it exploded over the bridesmaid situation.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: I wish he had told me earlier instead of letting
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: things get to this point.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: That's stupid.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: No.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: No, you don't get to be like, oh, my girlfriend
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: has an ex. Oh, my girlfriend has an ex, so
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: I'm upset about that.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I went and snooped through your stuff, and I
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: found this picture of you pregnant, and it's weird and gross.
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: I don't like it.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I don't like it at all.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: How are you going to say that to someone who
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: lost their child?
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: That was also, like, three months. You held that in
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: for three.
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: Months, weirdo. Weirdo.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine finding that stuff and then feeling that
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: and then not immediately, like, that night or that whenever,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: just being like, Hey! Ow! Found something, and I am
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: freaking out.
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: I'm freaking out. What is it you have found?
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: I'm freaking out, guys.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: Because despite everything, I did love him.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I told him that I still love him, but that
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: he crossed a personal boundary by going through my things
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: without my knowledge or consent. That memory box is deeply
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: personal to me, and it hurt knowing he invaded that space.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: We had nothing else to talk about. He just got
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: up and told me good luck to the next guy.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: He's going to need it, especially having to deal with you. Yeah,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: this guy don't even trip, bro. You accidentally fell in
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: love with like the worst guy.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: And he was just pretending to not be the worst guy.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was just tricking you for a while. I
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: love when they say that. When they're like, yeah, good
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: luck finding anyone else. I'm like, oh my God. Oh,
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: that's going to be easy. It's going to be, thank
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: you for the luck. Like you're never going to find
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: someone like me.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Thank God.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not looking for someone like you. That's why we're
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: breaking up.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: May the Lord make it true. So that's Dung.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I had been nothing but grateful for him, but in
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: the end, that is what he left me with. My
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: dad and cousin stayed with me that night and I
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: was grateful not to be alone. Right now I'm planning
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: on focusing on myself. I also talked to Levi. And
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: he actually came over by surprise to check on me.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: He brought me chocolate-covered strawberries, my favorite. And his girlfriend
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: even crocheted me a little tokay gecko that looks like
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: my pet gecko.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: I love tokay geckos.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: That's so sweet. Let me show you. They're so pretty.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: They're really mean, though. Are they the little flat guys
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: that go bleh?
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: No, they're mean.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: They bite.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: They have teeth and they bite. And they don't let go.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: They don't let go? They don't let go tokay gecko.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: I want to see this tokay gecko.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Tokay let go, gecko.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Tokay gecko.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: And they make a weird, like, they scream.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: They go, wah, wah, wah. They make a weird scream.
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: No, they're so cool and pretty.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: What happened next? What happened next to this story?
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: The Tokay gecko picture.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, they're so pretty.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: They're very pretty, but they're... He doesn't mean. There's something
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: about him that looks mean. They're really mean.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: I'm going to look up the noise while you guys.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: All right, here we go, here we go. It was
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: such a sweet gesture, I actually cried. We ended up
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: talking for hours, playing my old GameCube, just reconnecting. There
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: were definitely some tears, but also hugs, and we promised
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: that we would be there for each other. Nothing happened
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: between us. Levi actually plans to propose to Tammy in
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: the near future.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: Oh, damn.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: He seems so much happier with her than he ever
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: was with me during our relationship. Ouch. It's getting hot
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: in the kitchen. I truly hope they get married and
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: build a beautiful life and family together. They both deserve it.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: And good news is my best friend May and I
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: are also planning a fun trip out of state in
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: early June, probably to Idaho for a week as we
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: live in Maine.
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: What?
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: That didn't make any sense.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: I got to put you on.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Probably to Idaho for a week as we live in Maine.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: That's not close at all.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: So needs to study the Maine to Idaho pipeline. I'm
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: not sure what that is. I'm not familiar with.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: The Maine to Idaho pipeline. Sounds pretty close to me.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Sort of like people in New York vacation in Florida,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: people in Maine vacation in Idaho.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess so. They're like, you know, I like
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: from Vermont, so I vacation in New Mexico.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: As one does.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: You get it. You get it.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: We're planning a bigger friend group trip as well. We're
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: still figuring out when and where, since some of our
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: friends live out of state. I am planning on moving
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: out of my apartment soon, most likely after my lease
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: is done. I'm going to be talking to Levi's uncle
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: and moving into one of his small properties with two
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: of our close friends for a fresh start. So, for
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: the first time in a while, I feel like I
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: have something to look forward to. Thank you all again.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: And edit, I am not in love with Levi, despite
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: what some people are saying. Just because I cherish a
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: few things from the past doesn't mean I still have
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: romantic feelings for him. Yeah, I hate reading stuff about
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: people who are like, they just can't even.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: There's nuance, folks.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: Nuance.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: If you can't see the nuance.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Then you should move on.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Whoa.
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: I said it.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: If you can't see the nuance, my friend, you are stupance.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, he said it. And he meant that.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Boom. There's a second update. Hello, small update. There won't
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: be a wedding anymore.
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: What?
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: My sister Kimmy canceled it.
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: What?
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: She quit her job, pulled my nephew out of school,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: left the home she shared with Gray, and moved a
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: few states away to be with her ex-boyfriend, my nephew's father.
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: What?
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Kimmy, Kimmy, wild card. At the end of the story,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: we forgot. Kimmy's the crazy one.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Kimmy, Kimmy, Kimmy, an ex after midnight.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: What?
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: What? What did you say?
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: That was so good.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: Thanks.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: Thanks.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: We got a little more story left. Wow, Kimmy, Kimmy, Kimmy.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Kimmy, girly pop. What just happened?
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Low key, good for Gray.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess so.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: You didn't want to get locked down to the insane 31-year-old.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, crazy lady.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: Come on, Gray.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, I forgot he was 23. He's 23, she's 31.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: He's about to get locked into a relationship with a
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: crazy lady and her kid.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: Thank goodness she had the sense to do this to
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: you before the wedding.
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: True.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: True that.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Kimmy not only wasted a lot of money, but also
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: everyone's time. Especially since she must have been planning this
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: for months. Just a few months before the wedding. Both
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: our families and Gray's are really disappointed. Gray will likely
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: have to move back in with his parents. Kimmy is
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: only speaking to our parents and I haven't contacted her.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: I did try to reach out to Gray, but he
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: has not been answering. I imagine he's still in shock
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: and heartbroken over everything that's happened. It's understandable given how
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: sudden and devastating this all is for him. I'm really
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: disappointed in her, but more than anything, I feel bad
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: for Gray and my nephew. That's all for now. And
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: that is the end of that story.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: That's the freaking end. Okay. By the way, this is
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: what they sound like.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah. They like laugh.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: That's scary.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: They say, They say, Okay.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: Tokay.
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: They say their name.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: That's how I got it.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: That doesn't sound like Tokay.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Uh-oh.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Uh-oh.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: I hear Tokay.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Wait, go to the next one.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: That's what the turtles sound outside my house. They sound
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: like Jennifer Coolidge.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: They do.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: I was about to say that. I was about to
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: call them the Jennifer Coolidge gecko. Jennifer Gecko. Oh, not yet.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: And that is the end.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: That's the end of our time, folks.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: Of that story.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: My girlfriend's fear of intimacy kept us stuck. It's been
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: years now.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: Ooh, dry as a bone.
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: I love my girlfriend, 21 female, but I feel stuck
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: and need advice, 23 male. I, 23 male, have been
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: together with my girlfriend, female 21, for three years. We
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: started dating when she was 18 and I was 20. Overall,
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: our relationship is genuinely good. We love each other.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: We get along very well.
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: And when we have disagreements, we usually talk about them
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: and solve them. I honestly see a future with her
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: and I don't want to lose the relationship. The difficult
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: topic is intimacy. Neither of us have been intimate before
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: this relationship. I've always respected her boundaries and I have
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: never wanted to pressure her. And I don't constantly ask
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: and I don't believe she owes me anything. Great man.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: When she says no, I stop. The only spicy related
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: intimacy we have had is that she sometimes touches me
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: and I massage and touch her. She enjoys it and
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: seems comfortable with me. But we have never gone all
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: the way. Never hit a home run.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: Dang. I mean, do you guys kiss? You just described like, yeah,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: we can centrally massage each other. Yeah, do you kiss?
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: Make out? The reason is that she is scared it
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: will physically hurt.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: She told me she has never put anything inside herself before,
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: and whenever things get closer to that point, she becomes
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: scared and pulls back. I always reassure her that I
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: will be gentle and that we can stop at any moment,
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: but we have never really gotten close because the fear
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: comes back.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Well, dude, there's other stuff. You put inside your body.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: Like food, water.
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: But not in that way.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Thoughts. We don't need to say we put nothing inside
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: of us ever. That's just a lie.
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: By the way, this comes from throwaway7262712. And if you
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: want to submit your own stories, go to the r

  Speaker 4: slash okay story time subreddit. I'm Savannah.

  Speaker 3: I'm Dakota.
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: And we're here to talk about some stuff, get some advice,
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: but literally we don't have all the answers. We're just
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: going to tell you what we would do, but you
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: should let us know what you would do down in
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: the comments. As Opie says.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Dakota, your favorite host who's always on track here.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: And we're going to get back to the stories in
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: three minutes after these ads from our sponsors.
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: The reason I am struggling now is not because I
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: want to force anything. It's because after three years, I
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: feel stuck and unsure what to do. I want that
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: deeper level of closeness with the person I love. And
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: sometimes I start wondering if she's not attracted to me
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: or if I am doing something wrong. About two months ago,
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: I sat down with her and honestly told her that
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: this situation has been affecting me. We both got emotional
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: because she thought I was going to break up with her.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: She told me that she feels like the time is
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: coming soon and that she believes it will happen in
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: the near future.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Which one?
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: Like the breakup or like the physical stuff?
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: That read like breakup to me.
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it also read like breakup to me as well.
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: But I don't know. The problem is that I have
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: heard similar things before, so I struggle to believe it now.
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: I don't want to pressure her, but hearing soon without
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: anything changing has become difficult.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, so it was not about the breakup. It was
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: about the banging.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: Got it.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Banging, period.
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: We have also had situations where we had privacy. For example,
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: we were alone in my hotel for a week, and
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: my parents have been away for weeks before. She has
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: mentioned that we are never really alone or that we
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: don't have the right moment, but even when those situations happen,
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: nothing changes. Something else that confuses me is that sometimes
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: she actually initiates intimacy herself. She will start things, I respond,
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: and then sometimes she suddenly changes the topic and starts
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: talking about work or random things. Aw, dang. Blue ballin' ya.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: What a tease. Maybe you just need to, you know,
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: go first.
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: What do you mean?
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Well, she's nervous.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's, I could.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe you need to put something in you first.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: Oh!
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: I ask if she wants to stop and she says no.
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: And we continue, but I don't always understand what is
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: happening in her head. Another thing that has started bothering
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: me is that I sometimes feel like there is an
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: imbalance in the relationship. I always try my best to
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: listen to her, support her, respect her boundaries, and make
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: her feel comfortable. I do this because I love her,
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: not because I expect something in return. But when it
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: comes to something that is important to me, I sometimes
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: feel like my feelings get pushed aside or delayed. I
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: know she's not doing this intentionally, And I don't believe
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: she owes me anything, but emotionally it sometimes feels like
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: my needs are less important. I don't want this feeling
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: to turn into resentment because I love her. I want
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: to make it clear that I don't blame her. I
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: want her to feel safe and comfortable and I would
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: never want her to do something she isn't ready for.
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: But I also have feelings and recently I noticed myself
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: becoming more distant and less talkative because I feel frustrated
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: and I don't like that. For people who have been
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: in a similar situation, how do you balance being patient
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: and supportive with your partner's fears while also dealing with
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: your own emotional needs? Did this kind of fear get
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: better with time or did you eventually have to accept
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: that you and your partner wanted different things? I would
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: really appreciate honest advice from people who have experienced something similar.
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: There are some comments.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: It's hard because I get it, and you don't want
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: to force her that, like, that is not something you
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: ever want to do to anyone. I think, I don't know,
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: you're going to have to, like, take it slow.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: As in, like, you know, I don't want.
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: To, like, tell you how to do it. But, like,
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: you know, it doesn't have to be straight from nothing
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: to that. I feel like it could be, you know,
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: start little things.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: One by one.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: There's steps you can take.
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: There's steps you can.
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: There's steps.
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: There are steps you can take to get there.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: I think maybe... if there's been no steps taken in
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: the last however long y'all have been dating for three
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: years you know maybe just move on I know you
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: said you see a future with this person but you
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: can see a future with all kinds of.
• 49:33
  Speaker 6: People yeah I don't know like I would hope that
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: she would get over this fear of hers But also,
• 49:41
  Speaker 6: it's now affecting you to the point where you don't
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: feel validated in what you feel.
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: It's only what she feels, you know?
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: If I may.
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: If I may.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't know this guy.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know you, OP. But the whole post was very,
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: it came across coded as like, hi, definitely a guy
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: who's not just like, I'm not trying to just bang.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: That's not all I want. I definitely want, I want
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: to be, I want to be close.
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's been three years and neither of them
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: have ever experienced it.
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: Which, like, that's fine. You don't have to. Some people
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: don't even like it, you know. But it's just the
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: fact that, like, she can't set aside her fears in
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: order to make you feel a little bit better, you know.
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: But there is a boundary there. I don't want anyone
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: to feel... you know, pressured into anything, you know?
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: On a real level, like, it does sound like she
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: kind of does want to, and she's just scared. So,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know. She's going to have to work through that.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: And you can either help her or leave. You can
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: either help her be patient or leave.
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: We got some comments. KMS Nova says, is she in therapy?
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: It sounds like she would benefit. OP responds, she told
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: me that she wants to try it, but nothing.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Happened at the end.
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: So, she seems like she's a girl of many promises,
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: but never actually upholds them. Positronomy says, it's been three years.
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: There's not much else you can do other than keep
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: waiting or break up. If going another three to four
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: years without spicy sleep is a problem, you should probably
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: break up. OP responds, yeah, my friends also told me
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: the same thing. I just don't know about a breakup.
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: It's my first relationship and I'm clueless, honestly. Okay, well,
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: that is also another layer. This is your first relationship.
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: You think you're going to marry this person. You think
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: this is the end all be all, you know. There's
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: more to it. Sometimes you don't know what you have
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: until you lose it. And sometimes you don't know what's
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: out there until you lose what you have. You know?
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: I don't think you should deprive yourself of finding the
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: connection you want with someone else.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: I think you should stay in this relationship forever because
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: if you mess up one, that means you're a failure.
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: I already failed. I've already failed.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: But you can be a winner.
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: Might Volley says some people have different spicy related appetites.
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: It also sounds like, for whatever reason, she has a
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: complicated relationship with Spicy Sleep. Any history of mistreatment? There's
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: nothing wrong with Spicy Sleep. There is nothing wrong with
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: not having Spicy Sleep. The two simply do not match.
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: OP responds, I actually didn't mention this in the post,
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: but her ex did try something. I've always tried to
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: do the opposite and make sure she feels safe and respected,
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: but I do wonder if that experience is part of
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: why she's afraid now. There's an update nine days later. Yeah,
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: I would say that is 100%. That 100% has a
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: connection to this.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Never heard of that being a thing. Never heard of
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: people's past experiences and feelings about them influencing their present decisions. Yeah,
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: I don't get that. I'm just like, every day I
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: wake up, I'm like a goldfish.
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: Brand new day, brand new life.
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: I woke up in the morning, update nine days later.
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: Long story short, we planned to go to a hotel
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: for a few days, and I booked everything yesterday. She
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: said she couldn't come because her grandma was feeling bad.
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: I told her that it was okay, but I was
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: really sad since I couldn't cancel or change the booking,
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: so we argued a bit. She said she was going
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: to the toilet, and around 3 a.m., she told me
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: that it wasn't going to work and broke up with
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: me out of nowhere.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: She did it for you!
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Ah, this is hard.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: No, it's not.
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: It is, but it doesn't get satisfied.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: My bangs are in my eyes. Her bangs are in
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: her eyes. And this guy had banging in his eyes.
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: And this girl did not.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. She's just like, I don't want to be a banger.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to bangers and mash.
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: Which is fine. You don't need to. But at the
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: end of the day, that is something that you want OP.
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: And at the end of the day, she doesn't feel
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: like that's like a priority. So don't think it's going
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: to work out. And, you know, obviously it didn't.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Let's finish it up.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: Yep, and now you had a chance to be perfect,
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: and now you're just like the rest of us. Aw.
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: When I woke up, she had already changed her profile
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: everywhere and blocked me on every platform, even my number,
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: without explaining what the actual F I did wrong. I
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: have absolutely no clue what the F to do. I'm
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: lost and devastated.
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: Ooh.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: Well, step one, don't take it personally. It probably doesn't
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: really even have anything to do with you. Step two,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: go to the gym. Step three, do step two again.
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: There are some comments. Candlepop says, maybe it's a blessing
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: being broken up instead. Even if you get back together,
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: are you okay with the possibility of having zero intimacy
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: for longer than you want it to be? Or at
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: least until being committed as in married? OP responds, yes, honestly,
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: I would have been willing to wait until marriage. I
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: loved her enough that I could have waited. But this
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: never came up. The thing is, it doesn't matter whether
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: you wait until marriage or wait, you know, like when's
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: marriage going to be? It's just there's no she's not
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: giving you a timeline. She's not giving you any hope
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: that what you want is like, you know, showing up
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: in the future. It's just more so soon. Like she's
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: kind of brushes it off. And I do feel like,
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: you know, that is something that she needs to work on.
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: And I don't think that any of this really has
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: to do with you. Like, as much as you were
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: in the relationship and all this stuff, I don't think
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: that you pressured her.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: You were trying to be patient. You just, you have needs, too,
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: as a human. But she, you know, her needs came
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: first all the time. And, you know, that's just how
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: it is.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about why. Closure comes from within, buddy. Just
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: move on. It's hard. Losing your first love is hard.
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. And you'll be okay. It sucks.
• 55:32
  Speaker 5: But you'll come out stronger.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Forged in the fire of, ouch.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: Oof.
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: Out of my heart.
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: And then you'll find another love and it'll be what
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: you actually want.
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: And that love will be the gym.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: I'll see you there. All right. Well, we have some
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: comments from the video. I refuse to help for my
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: dad's girlfriend. Now she acts like I don't exist. And
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: this was posted April 27th, 2025. Teal Dare for story one.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: OP is a 15 year old who got into a
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: serious accident at school while OP was On the ground
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: in pain, waiting for paramedics, they kept screaming one thing
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: over and over that they only wanted their dad, who
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: was two hours away at work. And they did not
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: want his girlfriend to come to the hospital. The thing is,
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: the girlfriend was right there, listed as an emergency contact,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: and she heard every word. Ever since, the once decent
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: relationship between OP and the girlfriend has gone ice cold.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: And OP is terrified they have permanently ruined their dad's
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: shot at happiness. And if you're curious to know the
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: full story, go watch the full video. We've got Couple
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: of comments here. First one's from bomb.com. Bomb.com 2168 says,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: OP in the first story sounds like she needs therapy
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: and family therapy might help. It sounds to me like
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: she feels unwanted and is self-sabotaging, thinking she's already a burden,
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: despite that not being the case. Possible head trauma can
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: also definitely contribute to aggressive behavior as well. Overall, it
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: seems like OP is a traumatized, confused teen who doesn't
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: have a sense of safety in her home. despite her
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: dad and his girlfriend trying to provide that. Coming from experience,
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: being in a stable home after a childhood full of
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: instability and abuse feels unsafe, despite being miles safer than
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: the original situation. Not to mention the context of her
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: grandparents abandoning her and her mother. Therapy is definitely something
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: that could help. And that is a core tenet here
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: at OK Storytime is, this is therapy. Good move. Sarah
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: Keller 9881 says, I started to tear up when she
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: had shown her post and the dad's response. I wish
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: I had that relationship with my dad and stepmom. It's
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: hard to do therapy and feel your feels, but OP
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: will be so much better for it and have the
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: tools to see how fortunate she is with her current situation.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: I'm still unpacking my own childhood drama, apparently. Aren't we all?
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: I wish them the absolute best. And from Amber B1723 says,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: First story, oh my god, the girlfriend is the a-hole. Like,
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: you have to be super emotionally immature to take it
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: so personally when an injured teenager is crying and scared
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: and wants their dad instead of you. And then just
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: neglect that teenager instead of having a mature conversation.
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: Big facts.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: Gotta be more emotionally intelligent than an actual child.
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no wonder he wanted that a-hole.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: If you're going to be a motherly figure. But folks,
• 58:20
