That always is the seller for me.
0:57
I want to know what the bottle looks like.

And like, when I buy like olive oil and stuff, because I cook with that a lot, um, I want like a pretty label.
1:04
I don't want Well, I get the Kirkland brand from Costco.

Yeah, exactly.
1:13
That's what I was gonna say.
1:14
Where I'll get like that a small bottle.
1:16
Yes.
1:16
'cause the Costco bottles, it is like a giant seven gallons.
1:19
Yeah.
1:19
It's like a vat.
1:20
I'll take a vat of olive oil please.
1:22
Can you guys load that at the loading dock Uh, but yes, I'm a sucker for a bottle as well.
1:26
Yeah.
1:27
Do you like to cook?
1:28
I do.
1:29
I just haven't.
1:29
yeah.
1:30
In the past couple months, I've really slept.
1:32
I always find like, like I do like to cook.
1:35
I don't like to clean it up afterwards, but I do like to cook and I like to bake.
1:38
But, in the summer, I just hate even turning the oven on.
1:41
Then summer ends and it's football season and then I don't have time.
1:44
Yep.
1:46
Well, I want to get one of the flat grills.
1:48
Oh yeah.
1:49
To do like hibachi.
1:50
Oh yeah.
1:51
They don't, have you gone to hibachi lately?
1:53
No.
1:53
We went for my mom's birthday.
1:55
Yeah.
1:58
Okay, I've heard good stuff about Cherry.
1:59
When you go you want the show.
2:00
Yeah.
2:00
I just wanted, like, just the food.
2:02
I would go to, Nagoya, or something, yeah.
2:05
But, like, You want to see Butterfly.
2:06
Go, like, Yeah.
2:07
I want to see the choo choo.
2:08
And the volcano.
2:09
Like, like, like.
2:10
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
2:12
We want the food.
2:13
Yes, yes.
2:13
You, you, you were there for the show.
2:15
So they don't do that any more?
2:16
Well, the last, probably four or five times I've gone in the area, it's been super basic, like egg roll, ha ha.
2:22
And they spin the egg like on the grill and it's like, come on, man.
2:25
Right.
2:26
Give me the hat.
2:27
I can do that.
2:28
They didn't like fling food at everybody.
2:30
And yeah, that's sad.
2:31
So that's sad.
2:33
Well, so you want to be able to do that here since you can't experience it all.
2:36
I can fling food really good.
2:40
Do you think you could catch something in your hat like that?
2:42
Yeah.
2:42
Like, you know, they do the shrimp and they catch it or the shrimp tail.
2:45
If I practiced, you think you could, can you like throw popcorn up and catch it in your mouth?
2:50
I used to be able to, I haven't tried it in a very long time.
2:52
Yeah, I can't, I've never been able to.
2:55
Do you have any like weird secret talents?
2:57
A ton.
2:58
No, I don't know.
2:59
I'll think of something.
3:00
I can't, well, can you roll your tongue?
3:03
Can you do it in threes?
3:06
You almost had it.
3:07
Keep practicing.
3:08
You can do it.
3:09
I can't touch my junk to my nose.
3:14
And my nose is relatively small, so I'm at a disadvantage.
3:17
The one thing on my body that's not ginormous is my little bitty nose.
3:21
can't do anything else.
3:22
That's it.
3:23
That's all I can do.
3:24
Yeah, I don't really have anything.
3:25
I will think of something in a little bit.
3:26
You can apparently make a good drink over there.
3:28
Oh, that is really good, but it's just an energy drink with vodka.
3:33
Still, still sounds really good.
3:35
So, did you have anything else fun last week?
3:37
Not fun, sorry.
3:38
That was a terrible choice of words.
3:40
Anything else happen last week?
3:42
We had the hurricane, so Dylan was supposed to start school on Friday, and they canceled it.
3:46
So he'll start school tomorrow.
3:48
Is he excited?
3:48
No.
3:49
No.
3:51
Can't believe junior year.
3:52
I know.
3:53
Gosh, I know.
3:54
I feel like junior year is the best year.
3:56
I do too.
3:56
Cause you don't have the pressure of you're going to college.
3:59
Right.
4:00
Or so many of them graduate early.
4:01
Yeah, you know that December graduation and so it's like they miss out but yeah, you still get out of the fun things like you still get a prom.
4:07
Yeah, and you can still you're you know, you're an upperclassman.
4:10
Yeah, junior school is so much.
4:12
I think like such a different vibe.
4:14
It's a small school.
4:15
Yeah.
4:15
But I asked him if he'd want to go back to Clover and he said that he doesn't think he could do the full days again.
4:24
He's got kind of spoiled.
4:25
Mm-Hmm.
4:26
it'd be like me having to go to the office 24 7.
4:28
Yeah.
4:28
Like, I couldn't Yeah, fine.
4:30
Working from home.
4:31
He's seven 30 to 10 30 and he's done for the day.
4:33
Yeah.
4:33
And then he can work or, you know, whatever.
4:35
I know he likes to go to the gym and do his truck stuff and Yep.
4:39
All that.
4:39
So yeah, he's, well, good.
4:41
Oh, it was Jackson's first week.
4:42
It was okay.
4:43
Um, they were out of school thursday as well.
4:46
So they've already been in school long enough to miss a day and they didn't do any learning day, which I don't know why, but I mean, whatever.
4:51
So they'll have to make that day up.
4:53
But the only thing that was sad about that is they had to cancel the football scrimmage we were supposed to have that night.
4:58
Um, the weather had passed, but I guess there was just so much debris on the roads and water on the fields and stuff.
5:04
So they have a scrimmage tomorrow night at home, and um, I'm very excited.
5:10
Yeah, so tomorrow night is at home.
5:11
It's against Dorman.
5:12
They're usually a powerhouse.
5:14
But his first week of school was okay.
5:16
He's Some of his classes, you know, that school is so huge.
5:20
He doesn't know.
5:20
He knows like one kid in his, he's an English three or something like that.
5:24
Smart class.
5:25
I don't know.
5:25
But, um, there's one other kid in his grade in his class and they're not friends.
5:30
Like they're not even like anywhere near the same circle of people.
5:33
And then the rest of them are upperclassmen.
5:35
And he's like, God, just kind of sit there.
5:36
And I'm like, well, but that's how it's going to be.
5:38
So that happened to Dylan.
5:39
Um, when they went into.
5:42
The ninth grade academy.
5:43
Yeah.
5:44
Um, which I mean he knew some kids, but it wasn't like his circle.
5:47
Yeah.
5:47
but that made him expand his circle.
5:49
Yeah.
5:49
So.
5:50
Yeah.
5:51
Well, and so for the past several years, Jackson's not really had classes with any of his friends friends, um, cause he has, you know, He's been on this accelerated path for whatever reason.
6:00
I think we got him in the wrong classes.
6:02
but he does have second semester.
6:04
He does have a class with, with like three of his besties.
6:08
so that's Spanish.
6:10
So I'm hoping that, I know, I'm hoping that that works out for him to have a class with some friends.
6:15
I mean, and he has made new friends and he's gotten to know some other people because of that.
6:19
Like you said, it's just expanded, but poor kid hadn't had friends in his class.
6:23
It's like Fifth grade.
6:26
but anyway, he's, he gets along with most people.
6:28
He's, it's okay.
6:29
but excited for the scrimmage tomorrow night and then they have a jamboree on Friday night at York and then the regular season starts next week.
6:34
So it's getting ready to be a really exciting, emotional time.
6:39
I'm just gonna, these next few years are just gonna fly by.
6:42
Yeah, it sucks.
6:44
It does.
6:45
It does.
6:45
I saw something on Facebook the other day and it was like, I never knew you.
6:49
That Watchin your Child grows The Slowest heartbreak or something and I was like, oh my god, that's terrible and so true.
6:57
Uh huh.
6:57
Yeah.
6:58
And saw Twisters last night.
7:00
and it was really good.
7:01
I liked the different spin they put on it, uh, just from the different perspective.
7:05
So Jackson was sitting in the middle of Brian and myself and Jackson and I were just like cracking jokes the whole time.
7:10
I mean, it was just one of those where everything was making his laugh, him laugh.
7:14
And the more he laughed, the more I would say.
7:16
And Brian, after the movie was like, what were y'all talking about?
7:19
And I was like, were we that loud?
7:20
He was like, Yes, we were those people the way you were talking about the rude people and what makes it even worse.
7:27
So, you know, you pick your seats before and I love that.
7:29
Well, I try to always pick the one that's like right behind the rail because you have extra walking room right there and Jackson six.
7:36
263, whatever.
7:38
So he needs extra space.
7:39
Me, I'm like, Oh, look, my feet reached the end of the thing.
7:42
Um, so the people were sitting in our seats and I, it's hard to see, you know, whatever.
7:46
Yeah.
7:47
I didn't want to be that person, but I was like, I'm sorry, you guys are in our seats.
7:51
And, but I blamed it on Jackson.
7:52
Cause I was like, um, I wouldn't even ask y'all to switch, but my son needs extra leg room.
7:57
And I, he didn't even know I said that.
7:58
Cause he had gone to get more fun or something.
8:00
And And I told him last night, he was like, bro, you totally blamed it on me.
8:04
I was like, I did.
8:05
And I said, that's why I told you when you were messing with your seat, he kept making it go back and up, back and up, back and forward.
8:12
I was like, that's why I told you to chill.
8:14
Cause they were probably back there trying to kick us in our seats.
8:17
So were they supposed to be a row back or?
8:19
Yeah.
8:20
Yeah, we were like three or four rows from the back and they were sitting there and then they just bumped behind us But I just like that extra space right there.
8:27
I mean for not my legs.
8:30
Yeah.
8:30
Um, so yeah But I love that movie theater Ayresley.
8:34
Yeah.
8:35
Oh, well, I think we're gonna go see Deadpool Tuesday.
8:37
Are you Wolverine that whatever?
8:40
Yeah, it's supposed to be really good.
8:41
Yeah, everybody I spoke to said it was Have you seen like Hugh Jackman then and now?
8:45
Whoa.
8:48
Yeah.
8:48
I think he's airbrushed.
8:49
I'm sure none of that is real.
8:51
Okay.
8:53
So are you trying to find out?
8:55
No, no.
8:56
But the Paul Volter that we talked about last week got 250, 000 offered to him.
9:01
Oh yeah.
9:01
So his name is Anthony Amoretti.
9:04
Uh huh.
9:04
From France?
9:05
Yes.
9:05
Okay.
9:06
he got an offer from an adult film website, production company, for 250, 000 for a one hour Whatever movie or what I was going to say same, but I don't think that's how that works.
9:18
so my question to you is, what do you think the movie name would be?
9:22
If he accepted we, we, that's pretty good.
9:31
I was thinking, like, pole vaulting, Olympic, you're really good at this, just do it.
9:45
Oh my gosh.
9:46
What's his name again?
9:48
His name is Anthony Amoretti.
9:51
Anthony Amoretti.
9:52
Amoretti?
9:57
I wonder if he's going to do it.
9:59
I doubt it.
10:02
Well, I mean, you got to make your money somehow.
10:03
He just needs to make it OnlyFans then.
10:05
That's true.
10:06
He's going to do that.
10:06
Like just make it OnlyFans and get all the money.
10:09
Yeah.
10:10
But this is just like, One shot.
10:13
This is one, all in one blow.
10:16
I don't know what I'm, one, one event, one experience.
10:22
Oh my gosh.
10:23
That's great.
10:24
So, we'll have to keep our eyes on that.
10:27
Did you see that video I tagged you in?
10:33
Which one?
10:34
You tagged me in a lot last week.
10:35
He was like, can you imagine being God's favorite so much?
10:38
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
10:39
I did see that.
10:40
That you are the best in your country at your sports.
10:43
And you.
10:44
Yeah.
10:44
God's favorite.
10:45
Yeah.
10:45
That was pretty funny.
10:46
That was very funny.
10:48
I showed Brian.
10:49
I probably showed Jackson.
10:51
They probably already seen it.
10:52
Um, so the Olympics ended today.
10:54
Today was the closing ceremonies.
10:56
Did you watch Breakdancing?
10:57
Oh, yeah.
10:59
Flippin cool is that?
11:01
Okay, we, uh, we need to break down the break.
11:06
I've seen videos though of kids that are like eight years old that are better than those people.
11:11
So I am I'm sure there's like technical things that they are looking for and not just like street like, uh, I want to see the street dancing Yeah, I want to see with no rules.
11:20
Yeah, kind of like, um, just like outside basketball.
11:23
Do you remember the dance?
11:24
Um show that was on mtv.
11:28
I can't remember what it was, but it was like all like Street dancing and hip.
11:30

11:30
Hip hop and, break dancing.
11:32
Okay.
11:33

11:47
That was great.
11:48
Dylan used to love watching that.
11:50
Oh, gotcha.
11:51
i enjoyed watching the breakdance and i'm sure that there are rules that The little kid that I saw on TikTok didn't follow.
11:59
But let's talk about the Australian woman.
12:01
You saw her.
12:02
Oh my gosh.
12:03
Okay.
12:04
So they were, we're talking about the lady from Australia that competed in the break dancing and her name was like Ray something.
12:10
I think, I don't know.
12:12
Cause they picked their own names.
12:13
And, she had on like an all green jumpsuit and a green baseball hat.
12:17
And she was the worst dancer, I think I've at one in my life.
12:22
Like she was terrible.
12:24
And.
12:26
They did a lot of voiceovers on TikTok with like, do you remember seeing like the um, The the from like the 80s and 90s.
12:34
I'm gonna teach you how to hip hop And it was that over her doing her dance.
12:40
Oh my god, they were Pure gold.
12:42
Oh my gosh.
12:43
So she was uh, she was kind of one of the highlights of my week But brian asked if we wanted to if I wanted to watch some of the closing ceremonies today I said no we won.
12:53
We don't have to watch it Um, we did watch the women's basketball today.
12:56
They won.
12:57
That was the last event So us won women's yesterday the men won And that was amazing and the women's soccer won yesterday.
13:04
So we have been watching a lot of that I don't, can't remember her name, but the long jumper girl.
13:10
Oh, yeah.
13:11
That's married to the, to the other dude that's in the Paralympics.
13:15
That was your mom.
13:16
Yeah.
13:16
Um, he was in the sand and like, she just, like, I almost like, bro, I know tears the way he was so cheering for her.
13:24
I know.
13:25
So he, um, I can't remember their names either, but she's a beautiful black lady and he's a good looking white dude.
13:31
Right.
13:31
Well, he is, An amputee.
13:34
he's missing both of his legs.
13:35
So he competes in running wearing his running legs.
13:39
And, yeah, so he was like, you did it baby.
13:41
And she did the amazing jump and like cheers.
13:44
Like, yeah, he was so supportive.
13:47
He was her number one fan.
13:48
It was amazing.
13:49
It was so, yeah.
13:51
So.
13:52
Yeah.
13:52
Supportive.
13:53
Yeah.
13:53
It was, that was great to watch.
13:55
I, I, that's one thing that I really like about TikTok is if you want to know what's going on, like you can find little things.
14:01
And it's, I mean, Twitter, all those things too, but like, you know, 20, I don't know how to use Twitter.
14:06
Like I'm, I try, I'm not good at it.
14:10
Tweeting, Twit.
14:11
I am not Twittering.
14:14
but Twitter anymore.
14:15
It's X.
14:16
Why did they change it to X?
14:18
Like it's so awkward because there was so much like bad stuff that they uncovered with Twitter, like with the like censoring.
14:26
And I just feel like X is just such a ambiguous thing to say, like, I don't know.
14:31
I think of like adult industries.
14:33
Yes.
14:34
Yes.
14:34
Or drugs.
14:35
Yes.
14:37
It could be adult industry with that too.
14:39
It could.
14:40
Good.
14:40
Let us know.
14:41
Am I getting, what was his name?
14:43
Amigotti?
14:44
No.
14:44
Anthony Amirotti.
14:46
Amirotti.
14:46
So, um, lemme see if there was anything else about the Olympics since we were talking about that.
14:50
Nope.
14:50
Oh, let us know which, which name you think that they should go with Wewe, Atlantic Prick Or just do it or if you have one Better.
15:00
Yeah.
15:00
How could we possibly avoid better than that?
15:02
I think Olympic was good.
15:03
I like that.
15:04
I like that too.
15:05
That's pretty good.
15:06
Um, okay.
15:07
So that was all about the Olymp.
15:09
Um, I said Olympians.
15:11
Did you spike my drink?
15:14
let's talk about our book.
15:15
Okay.
15:16
so we read this week, The Girl Who Was Taken by Charlie donnelly okay, um, so this book, um, we'll get into it in just a second.
15:24
Let's read the little blurb.
15:25
Yep.
15:26
Um, two abducted girls, one who returns, one who doesn't.
15:29
Cuddy and Megan McDonald are at a beach party in their small town of Emerson Bay, North Carolina.
15:38
Police launch a massive search.
15:39
But hope is almost lost until Megan escapes from a bunker deep in the woods.
15:44
A year later, the best selling account of her ordeal has made Megan a celebrity.
15:49
It's a triumphant story, except for one inconvenient detail Nicole is still missing.
15:54
Nicole's sister, Livia, a fellow in forensic pathology, expects that one day soon Nicole's body will be found and her sister's fate determined.
16:03
Instead, the first clue comes from another body, that of a young man connected to Nicole's past.
16:08
Livia reaches out to Megan to learn more about that fateful night.
16:12
Other girls have disappeared and she's increasingly sure the cases are connected.
16:16
Megan knows more than she reveals in her book.
16:19
Flashes of memory are pointing to something more monstrous than she described.
16:23
And the deeper she and Livia dig, the more they realize that sometimes true terrors lies in finding exactly what you're looking for.
16:31
Okay.
16:31
So overall thought of the book.
16:35
Well, I really enjoyed this book, but it's not one that I like need more of, you know what I'm saying?
16:44
Because when you were like, okay, the book, I was like, wait, what was it about?
16:47
Like I needed you to tell my memory.
16:48
Yeah.
16:48
But I really enjoyed it.
16:50
I would not have minded a sequel to this book because I thought the ending was great.
16:55
Yeah.
16:56
did not see it coming and I like that.
16:59
Overall I liked it.
17:00
Yeah.
17:00
What were your thoughts, Giselle?
17:01
I went into it and I was like, I wasn't digging all of the medical stuff.
17:05
Yeah.
17:06
Like, that's just not for me.
17:07
Okay.
17:08
But it didn't last long.
17:09
Like, it wasn't like too, too much of the medical part of it for the autopsies.
17:13
Yeah.
17:14
Um, so once I got past that.
17:15
Right.
17:16
The book was awesome.
17:16
Okay.
17:17
Um.
17:18
And like you said, it wasn't a lot.
17:19
It was, it was enough that you could kind of skim it.
17:21
Yeah.
17:21
You didn't really need to know all the things.
17:23
Yeah.
17:23
I just thought it was a little bit unnecessary for the plot, I guess.
17:28
Yeah.
17:28
Yeah.
17:29
It took up a lot of time that I think could have developed other parts, right?
17:33
Either some more character exploration or something I wouldn't have mind it now that you said that if they would have Cut that down a little bit and give us some more detail on the whodunit.
17:42
Yeah, like That whole thing it it blew me away.
17:47
This is a spoiler section.
17:48
Mm-Hmm.
17:48
So I thought it was gonna be the psychologist.
17:51
Okay.
17:51
'cause he was stopping her.
17:52
Yeah.
17:53
Um, in the sessions.
17:54
Right.
17:54
I thought that too, that like she was, gonna uncover something about him and, and he didn't want her to go there.
18:00
so then, I can't remember Nicole's boyfriend's name, the bad guy.
18:04
Obviously, I don't know.
18:05
Yeah, I would have liked them to go into his history a little bit more.
18:08
Mm hmm.
18:09
Um, because they did go over him seeing his little brother.
18:14
Yeah.
18:14
Kidnapped.
18:14
Yeah.
18:15
I want to know, did he have issues before that?
18:17
Because he was like, so like, he's like, I was just sitting there eating my cotton candy.
18:21
Right.
18:21
Whatever.
18:21
Right.
18:22
And the dude walked off with my little brother.
18:24
Right.
18:24
Right.
18:25
So I would have liked to know, like, Was there something wrong with the kid before that?
18:28
Was that the catalyst that set this whole thing in motion?
18:31
Yeah, that's a good thought.
18:33
That's a good thought.
18:34
And where was the dad the two kids were?
18:37
Just standing there by themselves.
18:38
Yeah, that's true.
18:39
Well, it was a different time.
18:41
Yeah, well, I just I would have liked This is gonna go in a little bit more on that Yeah, this is one of those books too that I feel like they could tell from different perspectives and get to the same ending But just from a different POV.
18:52
Yeah, I think that'd be really neat Yeah So if you haven't done that Charlie get on that please from that perspective and also the sheriff's perspective.
19:00
Oh Because, why was he such a twisted MF er?
19:04
Like, what was the smell of And they didn't do anything with him! It was nothing! It was just all of a sudden Boom.
19:10
He did it.
19:10
Yeah.
19:11
The end.
19:12
Yeah.
19:12
And like Yeah.
19:14
Didn't see it coming though.
19:15
No.
19:16
Because he really wasn't mentioned even in the book.
19:19
I hate it kind of when they do that though.
19:20
Me too.
19:21
It doesn't really give us as readers a fair chance to figure out who did it.
19:25
When you just introduce a random person and all of a sudden they're guilty.
19:28
That's not fair.
19:29
So.
19:29
Yeah.
19:30
Once it kind of started like heading that way.
19:31
Yeah.
19:32
I thought, here's just some notes, Charlie.
19:35
I thought that, it was going to like flash to, because it seemed like Nicole's personality did a total flip.
19:43
Like I thought maybe some, some kind of abuse happened or something Cause this right.
19:49
And so when the cop car pulls her over, I thought it was going to do like a flashback.
19:54
Yeah.
19:55
Her like, yep.
19:56
I thought, yeah, I thought when that happened, especially since she hated Megan so much.
20:00
Yeah.
20:00
I thought maybe it was something with that.
20:03
But yeah, I agree.
20:05
I thought some stuff was going down at that point too.
20:07
I was like, who is this?
20:09
What are we doing?
20:10
Why?
20:10
Yeah, all the things.
20:11
So I want to know Was it just like some like weird teenager thing she went through or what was the catalyst for her?
20:18
Totally changing.
20:19
So she's got several books out this author.
20:21
Okay.
20:21
And, I just actually finished another one by her called 20 Years Later, and it has to do with somebody that died in the 9 11 terrorist attacks.
20:31
Okay.
20:32
And then, so 20 years later, Anyway, read it if you want to it's really good too, but there's some holes in that too.
20:38
I had to go back and listen to the beginning of the book because when they told me the who did it in the end I was like, who is this?
20:43
so I like the premise of these but I feel like they're just a little bit Lacking.
20:48
Yeah, kind of or there's room for more.
20:51
Yeah.
20:52
Yeah and take out some of that other stuff.
20:53
Like you said Yeah, the medical stuff or stuff.
20:55
That's just not relevant.
20:57
Take it or do it from one Like you said same book four different You Perspectives.
21:01
I wonder if that's a thing that is already out there.
21:04
Okay.
21:04
Well in some like dark romance ones.
21:06
Oh, cause I'm on booktalk all the time now.
21:08
Yeah.
21:08
That's how I feed that and, and drama.
21:12
Yeah.
21:12
Um, so there are, there are books that go from like all these different perspectives.
21:16
That's really neat.
21:17
I didn't know if that was a thing.
21:18
Yeah.
21:19
Oh, well.
21:19
But that, I think this would have been like a really great book for the series.
21:24
Yeah.
21:25
Except after you read the first one, you know the ending.
21:27
Yeah, but yeah, no, but it's still be like you said, why?
21:32
Yeah, I wanted in the backgrounds.
21:34
Totally.
21:35
I think that there was a lot of room to go deeper.
21:37
Yeah.
21:38
Mm hmm agreed I would give this book like probably a six or seven.
21:42
I feel this, this book, just in retrospect, the more I think about it, the more it's just like one dimensional.
21:46
Yeah.
21:47
Like there was not any depth to things.
21:49
There was not a lot of elaboration.
21:51
Still an interesting story and still surprised at the ending.
21:54
I still read it.
21:55
If Right.
21:55
If you hadn't read, if hadn't read it already, like I would still wanna read it.
21:58
Right.
21:58
Um, and I would recommend it, like for a easy read, a quick, easy read.
22:01
Right.
22:02
But yeah, not my top book.
22:03
Yeah.
22:04
No, the, um, but back when you were talking about the perspectives, like I want that information and I could follow it.
22:10
Okay.
22:10
I don't know.
22:11
What was your thoughts on Megan's parents pushing her to write the book?
22:16
I was interested, I thought they knew more than they were, like, I didn't think they were doing that in a therapeutic sense.
22:25
I thought they were doing that as a money grab.
22:28
And, and what do you know that we can't, yeah, what can we know kind of thing.
22:32
I didn't think it was, they were pushing her in a healthy way.
22:35
Yeah.
22:35
Now knowing that the dad was the one, like, what do you think about that?
22:38
Like, isn't that not like weird?
22:40
It makes me wonder if he was thinking she would just either cover for him.
22:45
Or she didn't know like, or she blocked it.
22:48
but yeah, it was, it was definitely weird.
22:50
Yeah.
22:50
And then it was almost like you wanted just to wrap it up in a bow.
22:53
Yeah.
22:54
And be done with it.
22:54
And that's the whole purpose of it.
22:56
Like she, she had miraculously escaped.
22:58
She's like this like great survivor.
22:59
Right.
23:00
Here's a little pretty bow on top of the boat.
23:02
Yeah.
23:02
Um, I think she should write a new, that would be the next book, her new book.
23:07
What would it include?
23:08
Talk about what?
23:09
About her, her finding out her dad, her dad, because there was so many other girls.
23:14
So many, so many years, so many, and he had four different houses in that, that abandoned subdivision that he was using was utilizing.
23:22
Yeah, no, I agree.
23:23
The girls.
23:24
Well, that could be like a whole nother like back like three quotes.
23:28
Yeah.
23:28
Yeah Oh, give us that harley.
23:31
Come on.
23:31
Give us that partly donnelly.
23:34
I the way that they kept, like, I couldn't quite put my finger on what was going to happen when she was saying, he let me get away.
23:40
He let me get away.
23:41
Like she, several times in the book, she's talking about how this, this dude's got her and then he gave her the opportunity to get away.
23:48
I had no idea where this was going.
23:50
Yeah.
23:51
Again, I don't understand why the therapist kept cutting her off.
23:55
That didn't make sense to me.
23:56
right.
23:57
And I wish they would explain what, like, did he think it was bad for her mental health.
24:00
Did I say not?
24:01
That too.
24:02
Yeah, I don't know.
24:03
we don't know, Charlie.
24:04
We don't know.
24:05
We need explanations, please.
24:07
Yeah.
24:07
So in three weeks after Simone and Snoop are on, we're going to need you to be here.
24:12
that was all of my notes for this book, but I did, I did enjoy it.
24:16
well, and like I said, I liked it enough that I read another one by the same person and it was pretty good too.
24:20
So if you're looking for another one, 20 years later, but the next one we're going to do is by Benjamin Stevenson.
24:27
Everyone in my family has killed someone.
24:29
I think I've read this.
24:31
Well, you need to read it again.
24:32
Cause I had a hard time finding something.
24:33
I've read good reviews on this one, so we'll go for that.
24:37
Yeah.
24:38
I have a new favorite thing to look at on TikTok now.
24:42
What is it?
24:42
It's a bird.
24:45
It's this little bird and it's blue.
24:47
And the mom sings to him.
24:49
Like the human, the mom.
24:51
The human mom sings to him.
24:53
Baking pancakes, baking, baking.
24:55
Have you seen this bird?
24:56
Mm hmm.
24:58
And Jackson, I said, Jackson, we need one of these.
25:00
He said, mama, if you had an animal that talked to you, you would cut off all other human contact.
25:04
I said, you're probably right.
25:05
I don't need it.
25:05
It could be a guest on the pod, though.
25:09
All she would say is bacon pancakes, bacon, bacon pancakes.
25:13
The people would wouldn't mind.
25:14
I mean, I appreciate birds.
25:16
I'm really not a bird fan I think they're they're a little scary and they're claws and I think they're a little not for me I wouldn't have a right bird But you know which birds I like totally think are freaking awesome to watch videos on what the ones the white ones that like You fluff out their feathers.
25:30
Oh, like dancing to music and they're like, yeah, those are, those are great.
25:36
I know what you're talking about.
25:37
They like do their wings.
25:38
Yeah.
25:38
Yeah.
25:39
And it's like, I don't know what those are.
25:40
Yeah.
25:41
Yeah.
25:41
Those are awesome.
25:42
Those aren't, they really aren't.
25:43
They really are.
25:44
so that little bird with the bacon pancakes is my favorite.
25:46
Now I'm just walking around saying bacon pancakes.
25:49
have you seen the perfect Allen in Florida, speaking of animals, perfect Island.
25:55
It's got raccoons on it.
25:56
I did see that! I didn't know what it was called.
25:59
Isn't that a fitting name?
26:00
Yes.
26:01
we need to go.
26:02
It's in like Miami or somewhere, isn't it?
26:03
Somewhere close to there.
26:04
I like Dream Come True.
26:07
Just a custom?
26:08
Just a custom.
26:09
Come to mama.
26:10
Somebody put on one of these Facebook groups the other day that they had a baby possum trapped in like a tote in their garage.
26:17
Right.
26:17
But it was cute.
26:18
It was a baby.
26:19
You could see his little hands.
26:20
And, but somebody was like, if that was a raccoon, I'd be right over.
26:23
100%.
26:24
A baby raccoon.
26:25
Can you imagine?
26:26
Yeah.
26:27
I'd bring it in here.
26:28
I might have already told the story.
26:29
Um, when we, I was probably like first grade, kindergarten, first grade.
26:33
Um, the house that we were in.
26:35
I kept hearing like things like skittering at night there was a whole family of raccoons in the attic.
26:41
And the wildlife people had to come and get because the mama raccoon was like very protective obviously.
26:45
She was probably a little feral.
26:46
and so, but like they have a whole family of raccoons.
26:49
Did you get to see them?
26:50
I'm sure I did.
26:50
I don't really remember it.
26:51
I just remember that there was like a whole family.
26:53
A whole family.
26:53
It was like babies and the mama.
26:54
Yeah.
26:55
That would freak me out though.
26:56
Yeah.
26:57
When we were in, tennessee, we had DirecTV, and so the DirecTV guy, he didn't speak a whole lot of English, but he had to go underneath into the crawl space to do whatever wiring.
27:06
Well, he comes like booking out of it.
27:08
He's like Yeah.
27:10
And at that time, Mo, our dog at the time, was We had the floor vents.
27:14
for the, this air system and he was running from like all over the house from vent to vent to vent like freaking out and it'd be like the middle of the night.
27:22
Yeah.
27:22
And we're like, oh my God, like, what is going on?
27:24
Right.
27:24
Right.
27:25
Like, is there somebody living in it?
27:26
Right.
27:26
Like, right.
27:27
You're all these weird things.
27:28
Uh huh.
27:29
Um, and the guy comes running out of the crawl space and he's like, Rac This big, this big raccoon I was like, yep, nope, nope.
27:43
Uhuh, that's a big one.
27:44
I said big.
27:44
And have you seen the videos of them coming out of like, um, like outside playhouses?
27:49
Mm-Hmm.
27:49
And it's like their head comes out and it's normal and then their body like, so how did you get that smoke that, how did you get that one out?
27:56
We just left the thingy, like the door open and, and it, I guess like got out and we just hoped that it was out.
28:02
Before we close it.
28:04
But yeah, he was like So I was like what that explains the running job event and I swear that house was haunted like that Well, that's kind of what I was thinking like I had that house was haunted though when it was, we were on like a war battleground, like that's where the houses were built.
28:26
And there was a lady that was like two or three houses down, the older lady, and everybody thought she was like cuckoo and, but she would see like old Confederate soldiers and stuff.
28:34
so anyway, Dylan, when he was, I don't know, like one, a little over one, he had hit his head twice at daycare, like within three weeks.
28:44
And he had actually split his head open, 50 stitches, whole nine yards.
28:46
Yeah.
28:47
I thought he wasn't sleeping well and he would wake up in the middle of the night and like, we still had the video monitor and he'd start It's okay.
28:56
It's okay.
28:57
Like, just like talking.
28:58
And I started going there and I'm like, Dylan, what are you doing?
29:00
He's like the man in trouble and like pointing to like nothing, the ceiling.
29:07
And I'm like, what do you mean?
29:08
What man?
29:09
And he's like, the man's in trouble and like, just like this, like random stuff.
29:14
That's freaking me out.
29:15
So when he was, he was born in November, the first, Christmas.
29:20
my dad passed when I was 16th, but he always spent Christmas day with my dad and I was rocking Dylan in his rocking chair.
29:26
And Mo, anytime anybody came near Dylan that he didn't know would go like feral, like, and he's like this little tiny little ball of fluff, nine pound but he would like do this, like super aggressive growl, And you knew something was around that he didn't like.
29:41
Well, he was watching something go back and forth.
29:43
Like he was sitting in front of me in the rocking chair, me holding Dylan.
29:45
And he was doing this crazy, weird growl.
29:47
And just like his head going back and forth, like, look like he's following something.
29:52
And then whatever it was, went out the door and left.
29:56
And he laid down on the ground.
29:58
And so I was like, well, I hope that was just my dad.
29:59
And I'm like, yeah, yeah.
30:02
Cause it was Christmas day.
30:03
And like, right.
30:03
That was the first and only time that really, really happened.
30:07
And then Dylan started seeing stuff.
30:09
And then we moved here and Dylan was two and a half.
30:13
And, it was like right when we moved here, we were unpacking stuff.
30:15
And Brandon's dad had, was planning on coming down to visit.
30:18
And he's like, well, why can't your dad come?
30:20
And I said, well, my dad's in heaven.
30:22
You know, he's like, well, could I see a picture?
30:23
And we didn't have, I didn't have pictures out like at our old house either.
30:26
so Doug got a picture and he's like, but he comes to visit.
30:29
And I was like, what do you mean?
30:31
He's like, he comes to visit.
30:33
And I was like, well, tell him I said, hi.
30:39
But then, like, like, maybe a year later, like, it all stopped.
30:42
Speechless.
30:43
So, my, my dad died when I was two.
30:46
And, my mom, my sister, and I, on separate occasions would see him walk in the same path outside of the house I grew up in that my mom lived in until she passed five years ago.
31:00
and I didn't really know that they had seen him until I was like, I just saw somebody walk by the window.
31:06
And, and I mean, I was a, I was an adult and my sister was like, that was daddy.
31:11
And I was like, okay, psycho.
31:13
And, um, she was like, I see him there too.
31:16
And I'm like, and mom was like, yeah, we see him.
31:19
And I was like, Oh, why have we never talked about this?
31:21
I don't know.
31:23
I don't know.
31:25
Oh yeah.
31:25
Why didn't you warn me that that was going to happen?
31:27
Yeah.
31:27
I sometimes see something like, you know, where we live, we live in the middle of nowhere.
31:33
And so it's not like there's neighbors walking around and stuff.
31:36
but sometimes I'll see somebody like walk on my back deck.
31:40
And I just tell myself, that's him.
31:43
but one time I remember I was like, gosh, probably 14, 15.
31:48
And I went to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, which when you're 14 and 15 doesn't happen, you know, it happens now all the time.
31:53
Yeah.
31:53
Like every two hours, but you know, you can sleep, but you can sleep 13 hours when you're a teenager, you know, and not have to get up.
32:00
So I got up to use, I got up to use the bathroom and, our hallway was straight.
32:08
Into the living room and there was a chair right there and I saw my grandmother who had passed probably like six years before Just sitting in the chair and I was like, I'm just gonna use the bathroom and pretend like I'm not seeing her I don't know what I would do in that sit like I don't know if I would try to talk to like I don't know.
32:26
I feel like now I would yeah I'm a talker, you might not have noticed, but I think I would want to, but that might scare me more.
32:37
I know.
32:37
Well, so my sister, got for her birthday.
32:41
a session with a medium, And stuff I came through that, nobody, I mean, even if you check socials and stuff like that, like, nothing, right.
32:49
But never ever know this information that had come through and, she had called me and like, we were both like historical crying.
32:56
Yeah.
32:57
from like the stuff she was telling me and like the messages that people had sent me.
33:03
Like tell your sister, I said this or, you know, right.
33:05
Right.
33:05
And so I don't know, if my heart could take it.
33:08
Yeah.
33:09
To do a session.
33:10
Yeah.
33:12
I don't know.
33:12
I don't think I could.
33:14
I don't think I could.
33:15
and I don't think if I, if I did, I don't think I would be wanting done.
33:18
That's something I wouldn't want to keep doing.
33:20
And I would be, I, yeah, I would either be So freaked out and like being like a comatose state in the fetal position for like a month crying.
33:28
Right.
33:29
because I am such an emotional person and I'm a crier.
33:34
Like I cry when I'm happy.
33:35
I cry when I'm sad.
33:36
I cry when I'm mad.
33:37
Yeah.
33:38
It's like big fat tears.
33:39
I told Dylan last night when I was crying, I was like, These are mad tears.
33:43
These are not sad tears.
33:44
I would just hate that too.
33:45
And I always feel like I have to defend my mad tears.
33:47
Like, I'm not crying because I'm sad.
33:49
I am crying because I'm very mad.
33:51
That's the step before you're about to go psycho.
33:55
I'm getting ready to throw things.
33:56
Give yourself some space.
33:57
But I'm a crier and and I hold the emotions for a long time.
34:01
I don't release them and they're like gone.
34:04
So I don't think I would be a good candidate.
34:06
I don't think I would either.
34:08
But I'm fascinated by it.
34:09
Well, but I don't so much that I don't believe in, but then.
34:15
But then you see, it was bad, my grandma.
34:19
So I don't know.
34:20
I'm such a believer in all things.
34:21
I really do believe in all the mystical, magical stuff.
34:24
I believe in, well, honestly, let me rephrase.
34:27
I believe in a lot of it, but there's a lot of it that I don't want to just open my mind.
34:31
I don't want to open my mind to some of it because I'm like, Oh, well then that'll lead to this.
34:34
And I'll leave this.
34:34
And.
34:35
I don't want to do that.
34:36
So some of it is more of a, I believe in all of it.
34:38
And not that I would want to dive into all of it, but I believe the possibility of it all.
34:45
Yeah.
34:46
I just, you know, I, I hold on to things so much.
34:50
not being able to release it.
34:51
I think so.
34:52
I don't, I think like you said, I would either be in the fetal position or I'd be obsessed with it.
34:56
Right.
34:56
And I'd be doing like a session a week.
34:58
And I'm, I'm scared that I would take something like that to the upset, unhealthy obsession of, Oh, now I need to talk to him again.
35:05
Right.
35:05
Or, I I'm sure people I've been like, Oh, but if I die, we can have our relationship back.
35:09
So let me go.
35:10
Die myself.
35:11
No other things, but you know, people are crazy.
35:13
Yeah, I know.
35:14
But I mean, I'm crazy, but not that crazy.
35:16
I think it's so fascinating that people that can communicate, it just blows my mind.
35:21
I'm glad I can't.
35:22
Me too.
35:22
Did you ever watch that show?
35:24
with Jennifer Love Hewitt when she was able to I did not watch that.
35:27
Did you?
35:27
I did.
35:28
And I loved it.
35:29
Were you fascinated?
35:29
Yeah.
35:30
I loved the whole thing.
35:30
I mean, I watched it from start to finish, after it was on, like, I mean, like I watched it like on Netflix or whatever, and I like binge watched it.
35:37
Might be a good one to watch.
35:38
I've been watching, All American lately.
35:41
That's a good one too.
35:41
Yeah.
35:42
Yeah.
35:42
Um, what was it called?
35:43
Ghost Whisper.
35:44
Ghost Whisper?
35:45
Okay.
35:45
Yeah.
35:46
I mean, Medium wasn't very tough.
35:47
I think there was one called Medium.
35:50
But that was something different.
35:51
You know, the other good show that she did was The Client List.
35:54
is it like a, a series, a TV series?
35:57
That was really good too.
35:59
based on a book?
35:59
No, she was like, she started working on a massage parlor.
36:05
And it was about like her clients.
36:06
Oh, that sounds interesting.
36:09
It was, it was really good.
36:10
It was on like lifetime or something.
36:11
Yeah, that's funny.
36:13
Yeah, that, that is definitely, it's fascinating, but I try to be careful with some of it, but yeah, I'm like, Oh, cool.
36:20
Oh, I saw dead people.
36:22
I saw dead people.
36:23
Yeah.
36:23
After the whole Dylan experience and looking at my dad's picture and he comes to visit and I'm like.
36:29
That is crazy.
36:31
But on that note, if you guys have any, any stories where you tell it to people, tell us the ghost stories.
36:38
If you want to be on the show and talk about it, let us know.
36:40
Oh, that would be fun.
36:41
Yeah, let us know.
36:42
Yeah, that would be really cool.
36:43
if you guys have some stories you wanna come on, we would be happy to have.
36:45
I know Heather that we've talked to before has a lot.
36:48
She told us one when she would come there.
36:49
He did tell us one.
36:50
So, we want more?
36:51
Yes.
36:51
Just us more.
36:52
Give us more.
36:53
Yep.
36:53
Give us all the stories.
36:54
Gimme, gimme more.
36:55
Gimme.
36:56
Okay.
36:56
That was the song.
36:57
Um, Yes.
36:59
Good job.
37:00
Yay.
37:01
so our drama talk.
37:03
Yes.
37:04
Have you seen the, I, you probably don't, it's not like on your feed, but you know how the same thing's, I'm sad, but it's not.
37:11
this like creator, her name is precious prize picks, but she does like reviews of items or whatever.
37:17
So a perfume Tik TOK shop had reached out to her and said, can we send you this product wanting to do a video?
37:25
Cause that's what most companies do now is like for user generated content, send out a free product.
37:29
Timeout.
37:30
We need some people to send us product.
37:33
Fruit and vodka would be a great one.
37:35
Three olives.
37:37
Wouldn't that be fun to do a review?
37:40
I mean, not just that, but any kind of reviews.
37:42
Okay.
37:43
But we're definitely open to the alcohol.
37:48
And we're open to plastic surgery.
37:50
Yes.
37:51
And ice cream.
37:52
And ice cream.
37:53
And really anything.
37:54
Like we're, we're not picky.
37:56
I don't think we, I mean, between the two of us, we cover pretty much anything.
37:59
Yeah.
38:00
So we're open.
38:01
Don't be shy.
38:02
Please just let us know.
38:03
Okay.
38:04
So this, TikTok shop called Wolf's Mm hmm is like um From what I, I listened to on Dramatalk, um, Chinese based teller.
38:16
And so they sent out this package to this girl.
38:19
She wasn't a fan.
38:21
And so she wasn't going to make a video because she didn't want to make a fake video.
38:24
Uh huh.
38:25
Saying like, oh, this is great stuff.
38:27
Okay.
38:27
And, she was trying to be nice and do like the nice thing and not make the video, right?
38:32
When they reached out to her Let me tell you exactly who said because like they were like being total buttheads to her.
38:40
Okay, so when she made her video Oh, this is what okay had said Let's see.
38:47
She called it Funeral Granny Smelling A double S Perfume.
38:52
That was her description.
38:55
Funeral Granny.
38:56
Funeral Granny Smelling.
38:58
so she didn't want to put that out there.
38:59
I mean, I respect.
39:00
Being respectfully like, I don't like it.
39:03
And they came back and they said, we sent you this package.
39:08
Basically, like we know where you live.
39:10
Be safe out there.
39:11
Like threatening her.
39:13
That's not cool.
39:14
So she takes the screenshots and makes this TikTok video.
39:17
Like you bought my response.
39:18
Right.
39:19
Here's my response.
39:20
Right.
39:20
It's out there.
39:21
So everybody, of course, TikTok does what TikTok does.
39:23
Yes.
39:24
And goes on to their page, blows up all the comments.
39:27
Like you suck.
39:28
Your granny funerals, you know, smelling.
39:32
so then the company puts out a.
39:36
Quote unquote statement, like a written statement on TikTok it was like AI generated.
39:40
It was awful.
39:40
It was so freaking bad.
39:42
Yeah.
39:42
saying oh, my assistant Colin did the response and we'll have a training with him.
39:48
Like, not like we suck and we are totally in the wrong.
39:52
It was like, my assistant did this and whatever.
39:55
Yeah.
39:55
and then they had another video of like an apology, but it was somebody with a, Disney filter over their face.
40:03
And so somebody had said that it was to hide their identity in China.
40:07
Cause they're only allowed to do certain, I guess, whatever the restrictions are.
40:10
I don't know.
40:11
I don't know if that's true.
40:12
Okay.
40:13
But like that is bananas.
40:14
Just like threaten saying, I know where you live.
40:16
and so once this video came out, they had messaged this poor girl again and was like, we only gave you a verbal warning.
40:23
Like what's the next step?
40:24
Like, what would be the next warning?
40:26
Right?
40:26
Like, you're gonna come to my house.
40:28
That is crazy.
40:30
That is crazy.
40:31
Come to my house.
40:32
Like I mean the, listen, I've got some rage to get out that we're on lately.
40:38
Pull up, please.
40:39
Do we want all that smoke?
40:41
I mean, wait, it'd be professional, right?
40:43
That's a great, uh, you know, granny's smelling, but that is a great description.
40:50
Of, of what some, I mean, like, I can smell that.
40:53
So, so then, they make money off of these videos.
40:56
They have the links so they get commissioned.
40:57
Yeah.
40:58
I like hit like the little search thingy, like the little hashtag at the bottom that were searches.
41:03
Yeah.
41:03
And all these other creators are do like unboxing.
41:06
Oh, it smells so good.
41:06
And I'm like, are you lying?
41:07
The same one?
41:08
Like the same perfume?
41:10
And I'm like, They were are you just trying to make money?
41:11
They were they were that's good.
41:14
Okay, that's it And do you notice tiktok has become qvc?
41:17
Yes, it's like every other video.
41:19
I enjoy a good shopping experience, but that's not why i'm on tiktok That's what amazon is for Do you like remember when like infomercials right?
41:29
Oh, yeah, I would sit there in college and watch Did you ever, did you buy anything?
41:35
I did.
41:36
Did you buy anything while you had been in some, uh, Three Olives Vodka?
41:41
Well, that might have happened, but it was mostly, like, cooking stuff.
41:45
Oh, really?
41:48
Yeah, infomercials were the jam.
41:49
Do you remember everything used to be, like, George Foreman Grills?
41:53
Yeah.
41:53
Like, every, the rotisserie spinner?
41:55
Yes! It was called the rotisserie.
41:57
Did you use it?
41:57
Yes! How was it?
41:59
It was good.
42:00
Yeah.
42:02
It was crappy to clean.
42:02
Yeah.
42:03
I mean everything is, that's like a juicer.
42:05
Do you have a juicer?
42:06
I do.
42:06
I love juicing.
42:08
Most of the parts can go into the dishwasher for my sister.
42:10
Yeah.
42:11
But I mean, every day.
42:12
Yeah.
42:13
No, I don't.
42:13
I haven't done it in quite a while.
42:14
But you made like a, a couple days worth or something?
42:16
Yeah, it was like three or four days worth.
42:17
But then Dylan would get home and just drink it like all in a day.
42:21
I bet he had to get up in the middle of the night with that He drinks.
42:25
And like, he loved it.
42:26
We were just happy.
42:27
I mean, I could have asked him, like, right, do that.
42:29
But I'm like, yeah, he only need like one a day.
42:31
Like one jar, one jar, like the mason jars.
42:34
Uh huh.
42:34
And they were all lined up in the fridge.
42:35
And it's like, like the aesthetic, you know, oh my gosh, it's so nice.
42:39
And these people that had, oh my God, that's something else I'm obsessed with is these people restock.
42:44
Yeah.
42:45
When they take everything out and they wipe everything down and they restock it and they take everything apart.
42:49
But it's like, I'm just like, yeah, I'm doing my kitchen.
42:52
But you know what?
42:53
Like it would last a day, right?
42:56
But it's so, it's so satisfying, pretty and clean and I bet they spend 600 at the grocery store.
43:02
Yeah, I mean easily, but yeah, I would put them all in the mason jars and like, by the end of the night, and I'm like, where did all the juice go?
43:10
I'm like, it takes like an hour to like, make all of it.
43:13
Right.
43:14
And jar it all up.
43:15
Yeah.
43:15
Separate it.
43:16
Separate it.
43:17
Yeah.
43:18
And yeah, Dylan was thirsty when I got home from basketball and I was like, so I just drank all the natural juices.
43:24
there's water.
43:25
Yeah.
43:26
Yeah.
43:27
I never, I mean, I have thought about, and we might've even talked about making a few days in advance, but we'll try that today.
43:34
Today's the day.
43:34
Cause I bought the fruit to do it.
43:36
So I used to do the, misfits.
43:39
Yes.
43:39
And I loved it.
43:40
I absolutely loved it.
43:41
not knowing what I was getting.
43:42
Like, it was like such a great, unboxing experience.
43:44
Yeah, yeah.
43:45
Um, not knowing and, and using vegetables.
43:48
Yeah, yeah.
43:48
That I would never, ever have bought at the store myself.
43:50
Yeah.
43:51
Trying to figure out how to use this.
43:52
What am I going to do with it?
43:53
I paid for it.
43:54
I'm going to use it.
43:55
We couldn't do it this whole thing of ginger.
43:57
Yeah.
43:58
But, that was really cool.
43:59
Yeah for like juicing and stuff like that because it's like they're pretty reasonable price was when it first started It was like 25 a month.
44:07
Oh gosh, and you got like a good amount of it I don't know what it is now and now like you can pick and choose stuff, which I don't think is exciting.
44:15
It's not I guess a lot of people said they were wasting.
44:18
Yeah, because they didn't know what to do with this certain kind of squashers.
44:22
It's called Google.
44:24
That's true.
44:24
That's how I figured out how to use between Google and Pinterest and Tik TOK and Instagram.
44:31
You can search anything and figure anything out.
44:33
Yeah.
44:34
The whole, unboxing experience for me.
44:37
And it was just, yeah, that's a lot of fun.
44:40
We got a ton of fruit and vegetables and Dylan is a very adventurous eater.
44:43
That's good.
44:44
He was not one of those kids that like had a chicken nugget.
44:47
Yeah, he ate whatever we ate.
44:48
Yeah, that's what he ate.
44:49
So jackson is a picky eater.
44:51
He's a really picky eater right now up to about the time.
44:54
He was two years old He would eat I mean for that one year Yeah, if we wanted to he would eat like I can vividly remember him eating like bites of a cheeseburger And oh, I mean just regular kid stuff, right?
45:05
Yeah He got a really high fever and he had a virus.
45:09
I can't remember right now what the virus was, but after he recovered from that like his taste buds just went like he would not eat.
45:16
And he's still a really, he's getting better.
45:18
I keep saying that, but he's still very, very picky.
45:22
Yeah.
45:23
So before their game tomorrow, I'm like, what are you going to eat?
45:25
What are you gonna eat?
45:26
Your game's at 630.
45:27
You have lunch at what, like 12?
45:28
Mm hmm, and you're gonna put out a lot of energy on the field.
45:32
He's like, I'll just have a protein bar, Mom.
45:34
I was like, I mean, okay, but yeah.
45:38
We went to Myrtle Beach.
45:39
Yeah.
45:39
And, I don't do seafood.
45:41
Like I am not, none of it.
45:43
And I'm not, I'm a grazer.
45:44
Okay.
45:45
Like, throughout the day.
45:46
Okay.
45:46
I am not like a big, like a big sit down and eat.
45:49
I'll sit down and eat meal, but like it's, I'm gonna eat a small meal, but I graze all day.
45:52
Okay.
45:53
Um, so.
45:53
For me to go to a buffet or like something like that, it's not worth me going.
45:57
I'm like a plate.
45:58
Yeah.
45:59
Yeah.
46:00
We go to this, the, whatever seafood and I only see food.
46:03
Yeah, well, this whole thing is like, not for me.
46:05
Right.
46:06
But Dylan and Brandon.
46:07
Did the whole buffet.
46:08
I think I just I ordered off like a regular menu Yeah, this is not right for me to pay 80 or whatever it was, right?
46:15
The amount of freaking like crab legs.
46:17
Yeah lobster tails and whatever They I mean the entire table was covered was covered with crab legs and I'm like, this is so So disgusting.
46:28
No, thank you.
46:29
And dripping it in the butter.
46:31
And I have my plate of like chicken and broccoli.
46:35
Right.
46:35
You're like, this is me.
46:36
Thanks to you guys.
46:37
They've got, they've got their bibs on.
46:39
So gross.
46:40
But he will try anything and everything.
46:42
That's really good.
46:43
He has eaten like shark.
46:44
He has eaten.
46:45
Oh, I didn't know shark was Something people hate.
46:48
Yeah, I mean, they sell it at Publix because he's like shut up He's like I want to try shark and I had it at Publix.
46:52
So I picked it up and I cooked it I didn't eat it But I cooked it.
46:56
How did you cook it?
46:57
Did you just sauté it?
46:58
I pulled up a thing on Pinterest.
47:00
I was gonna say, are you googling it?
47:02
Oh my god.
47:02
Yeah, but it's like a, it's more like a steak y kind of.
47:04
Yeah, probably like a tuna.
47:07
I don't really know.
47:07
I don't eat any of it.
47:08
I don't even, never had tuna.
47:10
Unless a cow falls into the ocean.
47:11
Yeah.
47:12
Or hey, hey, like fell off the boat.
47:16
It ain't happening.
47:18
Oh my goodness.
47:18
Well, I'm glad that he's like that.
47:20
Always been easy to beat because that is some it's a bit of a headache.
47:23
It's a it's a it's tough We worry about him.
47:25
Will he do like a greens drink?
47:27
Some of them he'll do some of them and he like I said He's starting to do protein bars and with him trying to bulk.
47:33
It's bulking season, baby If I hear that one more time, it's bulking season, baby Yeah.
47:38
Mike pinches little head off.
47:39
So he, he does protein bars a lot.
47:41
He does a lot of peanut butter and, he drinks a certain type of milk that has a lot of protein in it.
47:45
Then he takes supplements and multivitamins for, the greens and stuff.
47:49
does he like oatmeal?
47:50
Nope.
47:51
Oh, well, we do.
47:52
I get the overnight oats.
47:54
Oh, I was literally looking at that today.
47:56
I'll give you one to take home.
47:57
You can try it.
47:57
What do you like it?
47:59
I like it.
47:59
And Dylan likes it.
48:00
What do y'all mix?
48:01
What do you use?
48:01
Like oat milk?
48:02
Almond milk.
48:03
But I've used that forever.
48:06
Yeah.
48:06
What, what's your favorite kind of almond?
48:08
I love the fruity pebbles flavor.
48:10
I should not be surprised.
48:11
Yeah, I was actually looking at it today and I saw like a banana one that sounded good.
48:15
Like banana bread or something.
48:16
I've got like probably 20 flavors you can take one home.
48:18
And then, and then of course all the chocolates.
48:21
I'm like, but, Do I want that in?
48:23
Listen, what?
48:24
Boston cream.
48:26
I saw that.
48:27
I'm not a Boston cream pie fan, but it's good.
48:29
Good.
48:29
Dylan liked the banana chocolate.
48:32
Oh, that's whatever's, that's like my favorite combo.
48:34
Yeah, he, he did like that one.
48:36
And then the blueberry muffin.
48:38
Oh yeah.
48:38
That or blue?
48:39
No.
48:39
Blueberry donut.
48:39
Blueberry donut.
48:40
Yeah.
48:40
That was good.
48:41
Really good.
48:42
Okay.
48:42
Most of'em that I've had.
48:43
Yeah.
48:43
well, and you know, when you first order'em, there's like the, the coupons and the specials like 50% off, so I'm probably gonna get something to try.
48:49
yeah, we've talked about food a lot this episode and I'm not even hungry did you see, and it's on Facebook too, so you might've saw this one.
48:55
The girl that ran up to the man and was like.
48:58
Person's chasing me.
49:00
It was a 13 year old girl.
49:01
Okay, and The guy was coming into his house unlocking the door and it's all video footage and she came Screaming saying oh my god Help me he's coming and the dude's like who's coming he brought her inside and he also had an inside camera Thank God.
49:16
Yeah, And she's freaking out like he's got two kids in the house like teenagers.
49:21
All right One's a teenager one probably like 11 she's crying they're on the phone with the call the cops.
49:25
Yeah, and she Is in like the kitchen in the back so you can barely see her and she's screams Oh my god, you hear this big bang and this dude comes Busting through the door like broke the door in oh my gosh, and she runs out the front of the house and The owner of the house is like get out get out get out and like you hear like I like tussle in the back And the girl takes off running and you see like on the front door camera her running down the street.
49:53
Okay So I guess it was the stepdad that was chasing her.
49:58
She was missing or she ran away she's gone a couple of days cops Supposedly were involved already for the runaway part and According to the mom.
50:08
Mm-Hmm.
50:08
and the sister, um, she was at a boy's house doing promiscuous things and the cops came there and she took off running out the back door from there and the cops and the stepdad were there.
50:19
Oh.
50:20
Together.
50:20
And so stepdad, I guess, saw her through whatever back window and he busted through the door.
50:28
So, you know, he got charges pressed against him for breaking and entering or trespassing.
50:32
And damaging him, right.
50:33
He has, he is out, but he's got an ankle bracelet.
50:36
he also had a bunch of, supposedly, and I don't know, I didn't, I just saw what was online.
50:42
some charges for domestic violence.
50:43
Mom said that she ran away because they wouldn't let her dress promiscuously.
50:48
They wouldn't let her go and date all these boys.
50:52
they had mentioned a 30 year old man that she was on custody.
50:57
One, like, why isn't dude arrested?
50:59
If they're a man, like if this, you know, right.
51:02
Okay.
51:02
That's neither here nor there.
51:04
All these things, she's at a 17 year old's house, supposedly when this started, I didn't see any of this.
51:10
Yeah.
51:10
So now stepdad was arrested for whatever, breaking and entering, whatever it was.
51:16
Now the question is a mom is like, she's just a bad kid who ran away, but like, And, and don't get me wrong, there are some kids that are just like, just act out without any like cause, but the fear on this girl's face, when the dude broke through the door and she shook off screaming, it was like, there might be something there.
51:41
There might be something there.
51:42
I hadn't seen any of this.
51:44
That's terrifying.
51:45
Yeah, it sounds like there's a lot there to unpack Yeah, that was like super weird.
51:49
I don't remember where that was.
51:50
It's on facebook and on tiktok.
51:52
It's on that is crazy stuff.
51:54
Yeah.
51:55
So I saw that on I think, but not your grandma's teeth.
51:59
Yeah.
51:59
Page first.
52:00
Yeah.
52:01
and then one of the mom groups, then I saw it on Tik TOK.
52:04
but the mom and the sister were going in hard on the comments, like blaming the little girl.
52:10
It was weird.
52:11
The whole vibe was weird.
52:12
Even if it was the girl's fault, let's not blast her.
52:15
Yeah.
52:15
Let's protect her a little bit.
52:17
Yeah.
52:18
Yeah.
52:18
Super weird.
52:19
Yeah.
52:19
So you had said that you were going to find the, am I the a hole this week?
52:22
Okay.
52:23
I found just in case.
52:24
Okay.
52:24
I found one this is on one of the Facebook pages.
52:28
Am I the a hole?
52:29
Am I the a hole?
52:30
I informed my husband years ago I would no longer be going through his pockets.
52:34
It's his responsibility to empty them before I do the laundry and I do all the laundry.
52:39
I'm already feeling bad for her because I'm in the same boat.
52:41
I hate freaking laundry.
52:43
We have a laundry basket in our room.
52:44
He takes off his shorts and leaves them on the floor adjacent to the basket.
52:47
After about three days, I pick them up and wash them.
52:50
He works nights.
52:51
This morning he comes huffing and puffing in the bedroom asking, did I wash his shorts?
52:55
Proceeds to say, I knew you would and I tried to call you.
52:58
He called me at 1.
52:59
58 AM and I was asleep.
53:01
He left his vape in his shorts.
53:03
So I could see he's starting to blame all this on me.
53:06
So I get up and say, I'm not doing this today.
53:08
He says, get up and leave.
53:10
You don't take responsibility for anything.
53:11
So I'm confused how this is my fault.
53:14
I've washed a lot of things over the years, like earbuds, papers, wallets, et cetera.
53:19
And I'm like, okay.
53:20
No.
53:22
Do them flipping laundry.
53:24
No.
53:24
Well, so I do laundry in our house.
53:26
Mm-Hmm.
53:27
It's just the way things are kind of divided up that I do it.
53:29
And I have learned to check Brian's pockets because I've washed a lot of wallets.
53:35
Mm-Hmm.
53:36
and like cough drops and pockets and stuff.
53:39
Pens, Chapstick is the worst.
53:42
Oh.
53:42
Because it melts and gets on everything.
53:43
But he's never gotten mad at me.
53:45
He's like, well, I should have known better.
53:49
So Dylan does his own laundry and he's done his own laundry since he was 10.
53:51
Good for him.
53:52
I don't say that sarcastically.
53:53
I mean, yeah, he good.
53:54
No, I was like, you're going to know how to live life when you move out of here.
53:58
You know how to cook at least the basics.
54:00
You are going to, I mean, he.
54:02
Has cooked like shrimp tacos.
54:03
He has like cooked full meals and has made sauce.
54:06
I mean like the whole like pico de gallo, like everything, like he has done, like he can, he can cook when he wants to.
54:11
And he does his own laundry.
54:14
And I wanted him to be a functioning adult when he was able to leave the nest.
54:18
But Brandon did not do his laundry when we were still at the other house.
54:22
I'm not a good pocket checker, because I've never put anything ever in my pockets.
54:26
There's nothing ever in my pockets, and I just don't think about it.
54:29
So, digging out, like, gum wrappers.
54:33
Not, at least it's not, like, full gum.
54:34
Right.
54:35
It was just the wrappers.
54:36
Right.
54:36
But.
54:37
Yeah.
54:37
No, but I don't think they're the a hole.
54:39
I mean, the dude is an adult.
54:41
Go into a job.
54:41
Check your pockets when you take your stuff off.
54:43
I don't mind washing the clothes.
54:45
It's the it's the putting them away and all of that so it's I would, even Dylan's clothes, I would fold them.
54:53
Yeah.
54:53
Because everything would just end up on the couch.
54:55
Yeah.
54:55
I would fold everything and I would put it in everybody's piles.
54:57
Yes, totally.
54:58
Yep.
54:58
And do you know that the two of them would just take whatever clothes they wanted off of, all week long?
55:03
I believe you because, so Jackson's upstairs and he, today he had two laundry baskets full of clothes.
55:10
And I, when I pull, especially like t shirts, when I pull them out I'm gonna fold them so they don't, Get all jacked up, but we were going somewhere and he was like, just pulling clothes out of the basket.
55:17
I was like, take them upstairs, like do with them what you want to up there, but get them out of my life.
55:23
And, uh, yeah, he, he's right off all week long.
55:27
Yeah.
55:27
I'm like, you walk past this at least five times.
55:30
Oh, I was going to do it.
55:31
I was going to, they wouldn't even say that.
55:34
It was like, well, I mean, I'm just like, why?
55:37
I want a couch.
55:38
Right.
55:40
I need somewhere to sit down, please.
55:41
Yeah.
55:41
Dylan, like, I'll put it on his bed now.
55:42
And like, he just sleeps on the other half of the bed.
55:44
I remember doing that as a kid, though, until I got to a certain age where it just like got on my nerves.
55:48
Yeah.
55:49
Well, do you want to do yours?
55:50
Yeah.
55:50
Well, we got this one has a couple of updates, too Okay, am I the a hole for not giving my boyfriend a threesome?
55:57
Oh good.
55:58
Okay from the last by unicorn And I'm gonna go ahead and say no this is a throwaway because too much identifying info is on my main.
56:12
I, female 29, met my boyfriend Michael, male 35, at a show I performed in.
56:17
I'm a theater person as a hobby, and he complimented my performance and bought me a drink.
56:22
We have been together now for a little over a year.
56:25
His sister got married last week, and I was initially pleased to be asked to be a bridesmaid, but also a bit surprised as she barely knows me But I thought it was an attempt to have an excuse to also get to know each other better Michael and I got into an argument the week before because he said that he wanted to entertain the thought of spicing up our sex life and having a threesome He said, since I was five, why not?
56:48
I didn't like the idea too much and said so, and it devolved into a petty cold war, and he started to ignore my messages after he left my place.
56:57
He didn't reply to me at all until the day before the wedding, asking what time he needed to pick me up since we can't go separate, otherwise people will gossip about us.
57:05
He barely said anything to me the whole time we traveled to the venue.
57:09
The wedding was fine, but the reception he got me a Plate and leaned in to kiss me, but I shyed away And he got up to mingle.
57:17
I started feeling ill not too long after and 911 was called I realized I was having an allergic reaction But had my pen but still had to be carted off by ambulance And that's when someone who was looking for michael said that he had left with some other groomsmen to a bar nearby I called six times and texted that it was an emergency as I was getting Checked out by the paramedics and again when they strongly suggested I go to the hospital, but he never replied So he made her plate.
57:47
Oh You're right I was released by the hospital.
57:51
She's got terrible spelling.
57:52
Yeah I was released by the hospital and called him to ask him to pick me up, but he didn't pick up So I woke up my best friend and she took me home and stayed with me overnight to make sure I was okay The next morning michael called But I was still asleep, so he left a lengthy voicemail yelling at me that I ruined his sister's wedding and that I always have to make things about me.
58:16
He came over to further berate me and told me that he should just break up with me at this point as I am dramatic and this is all too much.
58:24
So I pointed out that he had gotten my plate.
58:26
Right.
58:26
knew full well that I have a legit allergy to coconut and that his sister had told me afterwards that he knew the cake he gave me was coconut cream cake as all the food had signs saying what it was and what the ingredients were as I'm not the only person with allergies that attended.
58:43
He left telling me that he can't talk to me when I am this way.
58:49
Attempted murder.
58:50
Yeah.
58:51
Okay, so we just meet there's a there's a true crime here.
58:55
Yeah I was honestly exhausted so I didn't bother going after him But his father called me to ask how I was doing and after I answered he then told me how I'm hurting Michael's heart by blaming him and Michael Has been inconsolable since we fought Michael can go freaking I texted Michael to ask if we could talk but the conversation went back around somehow to the threesome And how I don't respect him even in intimate settings or want to hear him out regarding his needs And make things about me.
59:27
Really, dude?
59:28
I hate Oh, okay.
59:30
I am so confused because, to me, this feels manipulative.
59:33
It is.
59:34
Red flag, lady! Right.
59:35
Here, I'll throw it up for ya.
59:37
But I respect his father so much.
59:39
I go to their church, and he is a pastor there.
59:41
So, to have him tell me I am wrong through me Am I the a hole?
59:46
Edit.
59:46
A lot of comments are suggesting that this was intentional and I have actually never considered he gave me something I am allergic to on purpose and certainly not to use against me as leverage in our argument, but I think I may have to come clean and talk to his parents.
1:00:00
I know them well and hopefully it won't go badly.
1:00:03
Small update.
1:00:04
Michael texted me this morning to apologize.
1:00:06
He said that the wedding was stressing him out and he had a lot on his mind so he accidentally handed me a plate he meant for himself, not the one for me.
1:00:14
Okay, hold on right there.
1:00:15
So what was meant for her?
1:00:17
Did he get like not coconut cake?
1:00:19
Because it didn't sound like he sat down with her and like ate.
1:00:24
Okay.
1:00:25
He said he didn't know I was in the hospital and feels bad.
1:00:28
He wasn't there for me.
1:00:29
He left the reception with some of the groomsmen to blow off some much needed steam.
1:00:34
he probably got his threesome that night with his groomsmen.
1:00:39
He didn't say what kind of threesome.
1:00:41
I don't know how I feel about it all.
1:00:43
So I just replied.
1:00:44
Okay.
1:00:45
He is now asking to come over and talk it out in person.
1:00:48
Second edit, for all those of you calling me stupid or implying that I am a child and why am I still with this guy, just know you remind me a lot of him and how he used to put me down and bully me and it's a real wonder of mine if you treat people in your life like he did me.
1:01:03
I suspect you do.
1:01:04
Glad to be rid of him and indifferent about you.
1:01:07
Okay.
1:01:08
One, we don't victim blame.
1:01:09
Right.
1:01:10
So, Reddit, shame on you.
1:01:13
Mm hmm.
1:01:14
Two.
1:01:15
He.
1:01:16
Is a butthead and if she's not comfortable in the bedroom with a situation, right?
1:01:22
That's her prerogative, right?
1:01:23
So, yep Take a freaking hike and I hate it I felt so when I was looking for for one for a lot of them were about bedroom kind of stuff And i'm feel the same way like respect people and their choices.
1:01:33
Yeah, and what they are comfortable with and not and Yeah, hello, yeah, I get so frustrated with people who are like what they won't have a threesome.
1:01:42
Well, you know Right.
1:01:45
I mean, I see one more edit there.
1:01:47
Oh, there's there's two more updates.
1:01:48
Okay So no, she's not and but my question is didn't she notice the coconut flavor?
1:01:54
That's what I was wondering too close pretty strong and the texture Yeah, I was coconut cake usually has like the flakes.
1:02:00
Yeah, and you can see them But if it's coconut cream, whatever, like, I don't know, like that would be a really heavy coconut.
1:02:06
Yeah.
1:02:07
Okay.
1:02:09
Lots of questions.
1:02:09
Yeah.
1:02:10
But no, you're not the ale.
1:02:12
All right.
1:02:12
Update.
1:02:12
I am no longer welcome at the church.
1:02:15
Okay.
1:02:16
This is the next day.
1:02:17
Okay.
1:02:18
Well, many of you are right.
1:02:19
I should not have met him in person, but I did.
1:02:22
He took me out to lunch, insisting he pay for it all and was incredibly over the top.
1:02:26
He had flowers and a written letter of apology, but as some of you messaged me, his apologies dodged the point by way of, if I hurt you or that you're feeling X or Y feeling.
1:02:38
He quoted some scriptures and said that said he has repented as his carelessness caused me harm I wasn't much moved by any of it until he said how much his family loves me and how much our church roots for us As a couple and I kind of sat back and realized that one flimsy reason I was even entertaining Forgiving him and saying him was because of the pressure.
1:02:57
I dealt with as the girlfriend of a pastor's son it occurred to me that there were so many times I let things slide because he is The hair apparent.
1:03:07
So he had the power and the social aspect of our community.
1:03:12
Sorry.
1:03:12
I know I'm rambling, but I'm going to emotional and tipsy.
1:03:15
I like this.
1:03:18
I remembering just staring at him and saying it was incredibly alarming that by now he can't be aware of my, my coconut allergy?
1:03:26
I don't know.
1:03:27
Coconut is now spelled O E, capital I N G L E.
1:03:31
Okay.
1:03:31
Allergy.
1:03:33
I remember staring at him and saying it was incredibly alarming that he By now he can't be aware of my coconut allergy and that he didn't bother to tell his own girlfriend He was stepping out with his eyes or even that he was stepping out of his own sister's wedding at all He then said it was really actually kind of stupid of me to eat a cake that had coconut and implied I'm an idiot for not Realizing what I had was coconut.
1:03:59
I realized then he would never accept that he was in the wrong and thus there was no point I stood up, smiled, and said, You know what?
1:04:07
Don't worry about it.
1:04:07
Thanks for dinner.
1:04:08
Good night.
1:04:09
To which he replied that if I wasn't going to grow up and accept his apology, I am a waste of time.
1:04:14
He's abusive.
1:04:16
He uses that a lot whenever we disagree, and it usually hurts me deeply, but this time, it was like a Rolodex of memories flooded by brain, and I really suspect he's been deliberately making me sick whenever we disagree to teach me a lesson.
1:04:30
The end.
1:04:30
I said I was done and he needn't waste his time with me from this point on and left.
1:04:36
I then sent screenshots to his father explaining the situation as best I can without blaming Michael for prior illnesses without proof and I got a text about 20 minutes ago from his father.
1:04:47
His father is incredibly disappointed in my immaturity and hurt that I wouldn't even give it until Sunday at church where we can pray together, talk it out and heal.
1:04:59
She's very bad at spelling.
1:05:00
Very bad.
1:05:00
I felt this way for a while, but I was able to say it this time that using religion as a a tool of guilt As well, and I am no longer concerned with his version of God as that version is a judgmental cruel heartless jerk While the one I always thought of was loving compassionate and kind and I am done I was told by him and by further emails rolling in that I am no longer welcome at my church until I reconcile with my true husband and learn compassion and And respect for my leaders.
1:05:35
So I guess that's it.
1:05:36
I will enjoy sleeping in tomorrow and free food while lazing about my home rather than going to three separate church services, starting at 8 AM, then figuring it all out from there.
1:05:47
I don't know how to sign off, so I will say.
1:05:50
Live for yourself, feed your soul, and know you are enough.
1:05:53
I certainly am going to put in the work to get there, and I hope we all make it to the other side, contended and filled with love and joy.
1:06:01
And by the way, F.
1:06:02
U.
1:06:02
Michael.
1:06:04
Me and her would like fudge.
1:06:06
Like, I'm like, yeah.
1:06:08
She's on my level.
1:06:09

1:06:10

1:06:11
And I hope your socks are always just a little soggy.
1:06:15
Girl me and her.
1:06:16
Uh huh.
1:06:17
And I hope the socks have like the um, like the crease in the toe that you can feel like the seam.
1:06:22
Yeah His socks not hers.
1:06:25
That's The dad like but I have a lot of issues with like Churches from growing up.
1:06:33
Yeah in Catholic school.
1:06:34
Yeah, like this is like On point.
1:06:37
Yeah.
1:06:37
Like manipulation of church.
1:06:40
Yeah.
1:06:40
Like that's like straight manipulation.
1:06:42
But how could the dad in church be upset at her when the son was, well, the threesome, they enable.
1:06:50
They're enablers.
1:06:51
They're good, does no wrong.
1:06:53
That's like, I mean, like a lot of what was wrong with our society.
1:06:57
I was never that mom, like, it was like, my son, like, I'm like, what did you do?
1:07:00
Right.
1:07:01
Where is the truth in this?
1:07:02
Right.
1:07:03
It's somewhere in there, yeah.
1:07:04
I mean, Dylan was not like a big troublemaker.
1:07:07
Right.
1:07:07
So, for the most part, I knew, They're mischievous boys.
1:07:10
But I know.
1:07:11
Yeah.
1:07:12
He's not like a super.
1:07:13
Right.
1:07:14
Angel.
1:07:14
Right.
1:07:15
So he's got the possibility of doing stupid stuff.
1:07:20
And him and I have had that conversation.
1:07:23
Third update.
1:07:25
It has been a hot minute.
1:07:26
I forgot about my post until I was watching YouTube video on Reddit stories.
1:07:29
And the story reminded me that I never did update.
1:07:32
I found a church in my city, a bit more laid back.
1:07:34
Like we can go to the pub after and have a laugh laid back.
1:07:40
I did like it and had an amazing friend.
1:07:42
I am still in touch with, but.
1:07:44
The going to church idea came from my therapist and it was to see if I do identify with the church or the ideals of it.
1:07:51
And I don't.
1:07:52
So now I'm back to being a heathen girl, me and you can leave you friends.
1:08:00
My ex quickly moved on, go bigger, new source, within a month of us breaking up.
1:08:07
Bless that woman, I thought, because isn't she in for a ride?
1:08:10
Oddly enough, she reached out to me on Facebook and I was curious and opened it.
1:08:16
I feel this girl sucks.
1:08:20
She started with who she was, how long she and X have been dating, and how long they have known each other.
1:08:25
Childhood friends, so basically forever.
1:08:27
She then said that she feels convicted by the Holy Ghost to seek a resolution between me and the X, and she's worried I may be his true wife.
1:08:35
And if I cannot forgive him, that I am proving I am not, and to let her know as she cannot marry him until I make it clear.
1:08:43
I poop you not.
1:08:46
Seeing the screenshots in the chat with my new church buddies, my friend sent vomiting emojis.
1:08:53
And that this is a cult and not a faith.
1:08:56
I agree Yeah, I conclude that they are right and replied with yeah, marry him if that's what you want and nothing more I am getting messages from members of the church, but I don't much care.
1:09:06
I've loved my life since leaving I didn't know life could be so enjoyed really and it makes me wonder how much damage the church had done to me But for now just for fun i'm going to an appointment with a friend of a friend's apprentice Ontario reading.
1:09:22
LOL.
1:09:24
No, that's true.
1:09:25
I was asked, no offense to anyone who believes in it.
1:09:28
It's just not normally my thing.
1:09:30
So I'm curious and interested.
1:09:31
Maybe it will be good.
1:09:32
I will let you know.
1:09:36
Oh, that is crazy.
1:09:38
It's freaking cold.
1:09:39
Yeah.
1:09:40
But like, I feel this girl so much.
1:09:41
I don't know.
1:09:42
Like, yeah, uh, Soul Sister.
1:09:44
Yeah.
1:09:45
Except for you're a way better speller.
1:09:47
Your grammar is way better and you, I mean, you can spell coconut with spellcheck.
1:09:52
She didn't even have any of the same letters in coconut that she typed.
1:09:55
I want to know what she was typing.
1:09:56
I know.
1:09:58
Because there might not have even been coconut.
1:10:00
That might be a fancy French way to say allergies.
1:10:02
Who knows?
1:10:05
Yeah, okay.
1:10:06
So, girl, you are not the a hole.
1:10:08
No, and like, other chick, if she's so worried, like, who's telling her that, that they're true wives or whatever?
1:10:13
They're trying to pull her back in the cult.
1:10:14
I think so.
1:10:15
Like, they're sister wives.
1:10:16
Probably.
1:10:17
It's threesome.
1:10:21
He's trying to make it happen with whatever he has to do to make it happen.
1:10:26
They're pulling recruits too, getting other people to message her.
1:10:29
Dude, that is a cult.
1:10:31
Yeah, that's crazy.
1:10:32
That's crazy.
1:10:33
You are not the a hole and run.
1:10:35
Stay far away.
1:10:35
Stay far away from, from him.
1:10:38
Don't even open the messages.
1:10:39
And his dad.
1:10:39
Right.
1:10:40
Don't do it.
1:10:41
Stay away.
1:10:41
