Stop Showing Up Late

00:00:05.419 --> 00:00:08.699
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known
2
00:00:08.740 --> 00:00:12.320
to man. It is a dimension as vast as space
3
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:17.010
and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground
4
00:00:17.089 --> 00:00:22.070
between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it
5
00:00:22.170 --> 00:00:25.750
lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit
6
00:00:26.410 --> 00:00:30.710
of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination, It
7
00:00:30.750 --> 00:00:32.159
is an area which we call.
8
00:00:32.179 --> 00:00:38.140
That's based with Caleb Salvador. I'm just asking for an
9
00:00:38.259 --> 00:00:41.640
eight ball and two million dollars. Are you the criminals
10
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:43.159
from the statistics?
11
00:00:46.579 --> 00:00:49.799
You people make me envy the deaf and the blind.
12
00:00:49.820 --> 00:00:53.960
I just have a very hard time expressing my emotions
13
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:55.799
and I can't stop from yelling.
14
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.549
Sometimes it's a good day to die. Sometimes it's a
15
00:01:00.630 --> 00:01:03.030
good day to beat the shit out of my grandma.
16
00:01:23.730 --> 00:01:26.500
the Chinese government that we're all such big fans of
17
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:28.400
over here on that space. And we know they're big
18
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:30.400
fans of us as well. So big shout out to them.
19
00:01:30.459 --> 00:01:33.019
There was a live show. The file just got fucked
20
00:01:33.099 --> 00:01:34.980
up and we couldn't do anything with it. Hopefully this
21
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:37.819
time it works. We do this every Wednesday, 9 p.m.
22
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:39.799
Central Standard Time live. That way you don't have to
23
00:01:39.859 --> 00:01:44.459
worry about missing the audio episode if you've got the
24
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.400
time to tune in live. Otherwise, tune in on Fridays
25
00:01:47.750 --> 00:01:50.709
at 1110 KFAB at 5 p.m. Central Standard Time to
26
00:01:50.750 --> 00:01:52.709
hear me on the Chris Baker Show. That's always a
27
00:01:52.730 --> 00:01:55.989
good time there. That's– we got– if you've never– if
28
00:01:56.010 --> 00:01:58.569
this is your first time on the show, as you know,
29
00:01:58.650 --> 00:02:01.189
Mia will go and scour the internet and she'll find
30
00:02:01.250 --> 00:02:03.969
all these crazy stories. Some of them are paranormal. Some
31
00:02:03.989 --> 00:02:07.390
of them are folks asking for help. Some of them
32
00:02:07.810 --> 00:02:11.569
are just wild news stories, and we're going to break
33
00:02:11.629 --> 00:02:13.409
all of them down. But first, I got to go
34
00:02:13.449 --> 00:02:16.629
over this New York Post article that I found last
35
00:02:16.710 --> 00:02:20.289
week that I didn't get time to go over on
36
00:02:20.330 --> 00:02:23.020
the air. So it says here– it says– Have you
37
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.319
been following this debate? You'll know what I'm talking about
38
00:02:25.340 --> 00:02:28.659
when I read the headline. The unprofessional item Gen Z
39
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.639
brings to interviews could be costing them jobs. Do you
40
00:02:31.659 --> 00:02:35.750
know what I'm about to go into here? Beer. Yeah, no,
41
00:02:35.789 --> 00:02:41.669
that's boomers. No. In today's brutal job market, Gen Z
42
00:02:41.750 --> 00:02:45.150
is bringing their absolute A game to interviews, but they're
43
00:02:45.169 --> 00:02:49.340
also bringing their emotional support iced lattes. It says a
44
00:02:49.379 --> 00:02:52.699
generational debate has erupted online. over a dead simple question,
45
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.439
is waltzing into a job interview, clutching an iced coffee,
46
00:02:55.860 --> 00:02:59.879
completely unprofessional, or totally fine? So my first red flag
47
00:02:59.900 --> 00:03:02.219
would be, if you sat down with a job interview
48
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:07.110
with me, Caleb Salvatore, and you had an iced coffee
49
00:03:07.150 --> 00:03:10.129
in your hand, the first red flag to me would
50
00:03:10.189 --> 00:03:12.569
not be the lack of decorum. It would be the
51
00:03:12.629 --> 00:03:14.830
lack of spine you have. It would be the fact
52
00:03:14.870 --> 00:03:18.009
that I immediately judge you as a coward. I think
53
00:03:18.150 --> 00:03:22.039
iced coffee should be illegal. I think that if you
54
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.500
are someone who I'm going to respect and I'm going
55
00:03:24.539 --> 00:03:26.400
to work alongside and you're going to work for me,
56
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.900
I think you either drink your coffee hot or you
57
00:03:28.939 --> 00:03:31.629
don't drink it at all. That's my two cents on it.
58
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:35.960
We need to stop blurring the lines here. What are
59
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.460
we doing here in 2026 where men can be women
60
00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:43.689
and black is white, up is down, ice drinks can
61
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:45.810
be a coffee. We need to stop it right now.
62
00:03:46.469 --> 00:03:48.669
It has to stop. I will seriously, I will pull
63
00:03:48.770 --> 00:03:51.219
up to a scooters or a Starbucks or whatever on
64
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.620
a 97 degree day. And they'll do a double take
65
00:03:54.659 --> 00:03:56.710
when I tell them I order my coffee hot because
66
00:03:56.729 --> 00:03:59.650
I'm one of the last real men alive on the planet.
67
00:04:00.430 --> 00:04:03.110
That's what it really boils down to is that there
68
00:04:03.129 --> 00:04:08.210
are just too many dickless cowards walking around this country specifically. Listen,
69
00:04:08.590 --> 00:04:10.930
I'll give women a little bit of slack. Women can
70
00:04:10.969 --> 00:04:15.139
have the iced coffee, but if you're a man, walking
71
00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:17.500
around drinking an iced coffee, you need to get your
72
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:22.970
testosterone checked immediately. Because there's something wrong with you. Any
73
00:04:23.089 --> 00:04:26.949
man that shows up anywhere with an iced coffee, you
74
00:04:26.970 --> 00:04:29.449
need to keep your eye on that guy. That's all
75
00:04:29.490 --> 00:04:29.930
I'm saying.
76
00:04:30.529 --> 00:04:32.050
Pop, pop. Who?
77
00:04:32.449 --> 00:04:33.009
Pop, pop.
78
00:04:33.329 --> 00:04:33.680
Joined.
79
00:04:33.689 --> 00:04:42.639
Did you put him on the aura frame? That's, um... Pop, pop. Okay, well, welcome, pop, pop. No, that's, uh,
80
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:43.420
so it says here.
81
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.079
The clash kicked off when a TikTok corporate recruiter called
82
00:04:48.139 --> 00:04:51.040
out Gen Z candidates for arriving to interviews with iced
83
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:55.019
lattes in hands. Now, here's the problem. They're going to
84
00:04:55.060 --> 00:04:59.269
make me side with HR here. We all know HR
85
00:04:59.310 --> 00:05:01.529
is my natural enemy, and they're going to make me
86
00:05:01.589 --> 00:05:04.009
side with them here. This is drawing on her 16
87
00:05:04.009 --> 00:05:06.850
years of experience placing candidates at Fortune 500 companies. She
88
00:05:06.889 --> 00:05:10.259
warned job seekers against the casual habit. When you show
89
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.000
up with an iced coffee or an iced latte, it
90
00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:15.379
is perceived, from my opinion and a hiring standpoint, that
91
00:05:15.420 --> 00:05:17.600
this interview is just a stop on your list of
92
00:05:17.819 --> 00:05:19.779
errands for the day. She claimed in the viral clip,
93
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.730
it looks like you went to Target, went to Starbucks,
94
00:05:22.829 --> 00:05:25.449
and now you're stopping by your interview before moving on
95
00:05:25.509 --> 00:05:28.389
to the next thing. She stood her ground, arguing that
96
00:05:28.410 --> 00:05:33.050
the beverage projects a casual and unserious attitude. Naturally, the
97
00:05:33.110 --> 00:05:36.540
internet picked sides, and videos, posts, and comments flooded in
98
00:05:36.579 --> 00:05:40.319
as hiring managers and job seekers debated the iced coffee conundrum.
99
00:05:40.709 --> 00:05:43.050
Another creator chimed in calling it diabolical to bring a
100
00:05:43.110 --> 00:05:47.069
wet plastic condensation cup into an interview. That's my big thing,
101
00:05:47.129 --> 00:05:49.769
is the wet. But there really is a lack of
102
00:05:49.850 --> 00:05:55.389
decorum amongst Gen Z in general. Not even at job interviews,
103
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:59.939
but go interact with these people. Just go out into
104
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.180
the world and interact with these people. I heard a
105
00:06:03.300 --> 00:06:07.420
theory that not everyone is a sentient, conscious human being.
106
00:06:07.459 --> 00:06:11.399
They've just been placed here as npcs like you'd see
107
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.420
in a video game by whatever you believe in and
108
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.139
i never believed that for the longest time but when
109
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:22.600
you interact with a lot of these tiktok brained just
110
00:06:23.379 --> 00:06:27.790
personality and drywall gen z and alpha kids you really
111
00:06:27.870 --> 00:06:32.149
start to wonder you really start to wonder does everyone
112
00:06:32.189 --> 00:06:37.410
have a sentient conscious or or is that theory onto
113
00:06:37.470 --> 00:06:42.569
something here Like I go out and like you'll go
114
00:06:42.709 --> 00:06:48.050
and perfect example, I go to order a not fast food.
115
00:06:48.189 --> 00:06:51.250
Mia wanted a drink, wanted a drink from McDonald's and
116
00:06:51.290 --> 00:06:54.370
some fries. So I stop at the McDonald's to pick
117
00:06:54.430 --> 00:06:57.439
it up. And, you know, I paid for the buffalo
118
00:06:57.500 --> 00:07:00.319
sauce in advance. I always pay for the buffalo sauce
119
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.740
in advance because I ask for it at the window.
120
00:07:03.180 --> 00:07:05.439
And the one time I forgot to bring the buffalo
121
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.500
sauce home, my wife beat me. So I stopped at
122
00:07:08.550 --> 00:07:11.529
the McDonald's to get the buffalo sauce. And, you know,
123
00:07:11.550 --> 00:07:12.930
I get the drink. I get the fries. And I
124
00:07:12.970 --> 00:07:14.769
look in there and I say, hey, there's no buffalo
125
00:07:14.790 --> 00:07:16.639
sauce in my bag. I said, just like that. Hey,
126
00:07:16.699 --> 00:07:19.100
I had buffalo sauce that I paid for. And the
127
00:07:19.180 --> 00:07:23.290
girl just stares at me. She just stares blankly at me.
128
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.720
Like I spoke to her in Chinese or something, but
129
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.610
now at least Chinese would warrant some type of reaction.
130
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.990
She just looks at me. It was, I didn't know
131
00:07:33.029 --> 00:07:34.529
if I was, if she was having an out of
132
00:07:34.589 --> 00:07:39.089
body experience, but she just looks at me and I go,
133
00:07:39.370 --> 00:07:42.439
can I please get it? And she just turns around,
134
00:07:42.500 --> 00:07:45.000
grabs it and drops it in my hand. It's that
135
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:49.399
it's the lack of personality. It's the excessive amounts of tattoos.
136
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:53.670
That's another thing. It's, you know, that Congresswoman from South Carolina,
137
00:07:53.699 --> 00:07:56.050
she's not Gen Z, but they were talking about the
138
00:07:56.110 --> 00:08:00.329
Congresswoman from South Carolina that revealed she got like nine
139
00:08:00.389 --> 00:08:04.490
different tattoos all within a week of each other. Mia,
140
00:08:04.529 --> 00:08:06.810
we were just talking about the tattoo debate. What's your
141
00:08:06.829 --> 00:08:09.829
stance on the tattoos? Because you see it a lot
142
00:08:09.870 --> 00:08:12.329
in the younger generations. There's a lot of them. What
143
00:08:12.370 --> 00:08:16.310
about them? About young people, teenagers getting the tattoos. Oh,
144
00:08:16.850 --> 00:08:20.129
I mean, I'm going to sound like an old person.
145
00:08:20.529 --> 00:08:20.790
Yeah.
146
00:08:22.350 --> 00:08:24.779
I don't think they need to be getting them at 17,
147
00:08:24.779 --> 00:08:28.300
18 years old. No. But at the same time, if
148
00:08:28.339 --> 00:08:33.620
they want to make that mistake, it's their body to make.
149
00:08:33.820 --> 00:08:37.090
It's just the whole trend. to me is kind of
150
00:08:37.110 --> 00:08:40.470
gotten cringy. Whereas people have, I'm not even going to
151
00:08:40.529 --> 00:08:42.549
say they've made it their whole personality. Cause that would
152
00:08:42.570 --> 00:08:45.529
imply they had one to begin with. People have replaced
153
00:08:45.570 --> 00:08:49.960
their lack of a personality with their tattoos. That's all
154
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.019
they've got going. Now, look, you're going to say, how
155
00:08:52.059 --> 00:08:55.399
can you say something like, look, I am more qualified
156
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:57.779
to talk about this than any man on the planet,
157
00:08:58.340 --> 00:09:00.809
than any man on the planet. I'm more qualified to
158
00:09:00.870 --> 00:09:03.980
talk about this and have this opinion. I don't regret.
159
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.809
I got 99% of my tattoos before my 23rd birthday.
160
00:09:08.490 --> 00:09:11.990
I don't wake up and regret them. I've never regretted
161
00:09:12.110 --> 00:09:14.889
one of them. I've never been denied an opportunity because
162
00:09:14.929 --> 00:09:17.970
of them. Nothing like that. But what you guys have
163
00:09:18.009 --> 00:09:22.210
to understand is I'm the absolute best case scenario. The
164
00:09:22.470 --> 00:09:26.169
absolute best case scenario with tattoos is that you spend
165
00:09:26.330 --> 00:09:31.000
thousands of dollars and it's fine. You don't regret it.
166
00:09:31.460 --> 00:09:35.659
Nothing happens. So on the flip side, whereas I don't
167
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:38.220
regret any of my tattoos, I've also never woken up
168
00:09:38.340 --> 00:09:40.879
one morning and gone, boy, am I glad that I
169
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:44.259
dropped five G's on ink on my arms. That's also
170
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:47.419
never happened. And I think if you do wake up
171
00:09:47.490 --> 00:09:50.309
and think that, I think there's something wrong with you.
172
00:09:50.330 --> 00:09:54.330
I think you're substituting, again, your lack of a personality
173
00:09:54.850 --> 00:09:58.509
with your ink, with somebody else's work, something that they
174
00:09:58.549 --> 00:10:00.029
did for you. And I know people are going to
175
00:10:00.049 --> 00:10:02.529
get offended by that. I really don't care. That's probably
176
00:10:02.549 --> 00:10:04.559
the least offensive thing I've ever said on this show.
177
00:10:04.980 --> 00:10:07.879
I just I'm not anti tattoo. If you want to
178
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:10.990
go get them, go get them. But these people take
179
00:10:11.029 --> 00:10:13.529
it to another level, and they get just some of
180
00:10:13.570 --> 00:10:16.669
the dumbest shit. This is like boomer hour at this point.
181
00:10:17.110 --> 00:10:19.830
I saw a kid at the gas station a couple
182
00:10:19.889 --> 00:10:23.700
days ago who had, instead of an earring pierced through
183
00:10:23.740 --> 00:10:27.399
his ear, he had a paperclip. Just a paperclip, like
184
00:10:27.419 --> 00:10:30.500
you'd get at Office Depot. Just run through his ear.
185
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.000
I've never seen anything like it. It's just the body
186
00:10:33.059 --> 00:10:36.379
art trends, it's lazy. And they all wear pajamas. Was
187
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:39.460
the earring a paperclip? Because I have a paperclip earring.
188
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:44.820
It was a literal paperclip. Oh. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, literal paperclip.
189
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:49.419
That's the difference. Okay, let's get into the stories this week,
190
00:10:49.779 --> 00:10:51.759
because I'm just ranting at this point, and it's not
191
00:10:51.820 --> 00:10:55.039
going anywhere productive. All right, we'll do WTF Wednesday first.
192
00:10:55.059 --> 00:10:57.159
What's going on in WTF Wednesday? Is there a preview
193
00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:02.429
for it? It's a spooky witch curse. Witch curse. What's
194
00:11:02.450 --> 00:11:04.210
Halloween season? We got to have them. We got to
195
00:11:04.230 --> 00:11:08.830
have them. Curse on family lands Eswatini and man in jail.
196
00:11:09.029 --> 00:11:13.720
A man in a small African nation of Eswatini will
197
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.519
be spending the next year behind bars. I'll get a
198
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:18.139
hundred bucks to the first person that could point it
199
00:11:18.179 --> 00:11:20.399
out on a map to me. We'll be spending the
200
00:11:20.460 --> 00:11:23.759
next year behind bars after he was busted for violating
201
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:26.679
the country's ban on witchcraft with a weird curse on
202
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:29.639
his family. We've all been there. I mean, it's happened
203
00:11:29.659 --> 00:11:31.720
to the best of us. It says, according to a
204
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:34.440
local media report, the curious case began around two years
205
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:36.879
ago when that name I'm not going to try to
206
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:40.879
pronounce got into a dispute with one of his relatives.
207
00:11:41.019 --> 00:11:44.059
While the details of the conflict are unknown, the argument
208
00:11:44.100 --> 00:11:46.490
was significant enough that he enlisted a foreign mystic to
209
00:11:46.539 --> 00:11:51.169
cast a sinister spell on five family members who had
210
00:11:51.250 --> 00:11:54.009
raised his ire. The curse was specifically aimed at thwarting
211
00:11:54.049 --> 00:11:57.690
the success of his relatives, and it seemingly worked until
212
00:11:57.730 --> 00:12:00.830
the witchcraft ended. was recently revealed. See, that's what I
213
00:12:00.889 --> 00:12:03.590
always tell people. I say, I am no longer preying
214
00:12:03.649 --> 00:12:06.970
on your downfall. I will now, going forward, be actively
215
00:12:07.029 --> 00:12:11.009
involved in it. His scheme unraveled when a friend who
216
00:12:11.049 --> 00:12:13.559
was aware of the magical plot felt guilty after seeing
217
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.340
the victim suffer for the past two years decided to
218
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:19.639
come forward with the troubling tale. Their account was confirmed
219
00:12:19.659 --> 00:12:22.740
when authorities unearthed five small jars containing the names of
220
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:25.500
the targeted family members. What if the family member's name
221
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.649
was Joe Smith? How do you know that the curse
222
00:12:28.710 --> 00:12:31.350
gets to the right Joe Smith? Because that's a pretty
223
00:12:31.389 --> 00:12:35.080
common name. You could just screw over some, although I
224
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:38.519
doubt in Eswatini, there's very many Joe Smiths walking around.
225
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:42.679
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that. Said,
226
00:12:44.940 --> 00:12:47.220
this led to police arresting the man for violating the
227
00:12:47.259 --> 00:12:51.620
country's witchcraft act, which prohibits such magical machinations. Although he
228
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:55.440
initially insisted he was innocent, the man eventually admitted his
229
00:12:55.500 --> 00:12:58.740
guilt and begged for mercy from the judge overseeing his case.
230
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.720
In a testament to how serious the dark arts are
231
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.379
perceived in Eswatini, the court's attention then turned to how
232
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:08.490
to eradicate the curse and free the family members from
233
00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:10.429
the dark cloud hanging over them. You know what? This
234
00:13:10.509 --> 00:13:13.210
is more productive than... You guys laugh. You guys laugh
235
00:13:13.269 --> 00:13:15.950
at this. But this is more productive than anything going
236
00:13:16.049 --> 00:13:18.970
on inside of America's Congress right now. This is more
237
00:13:19.029 --> 00:13:22.370
productive than anything going on in the United States government
238
00:13:22.409 --> 00:13:24.509
right now. You know what? I'll tell you right now.
239
00:13:25.019 --> 00:13:27.240
I wish this is the type of shit our government
240
00:13:27.259 --> 00:13:30.200
was doing. I wish. Because you know what? Going to
241
00:13:30.259 --> 00:13:34.769
war with witchcraft doesn't give me $ 5 gallons of gas.
242
00:13:35.870 --> 00:13:41.470
It doesn't push diesel to $ 7 a gallon. Says hopes
243
00:13:41.509 --> 00:13:47.220
that the mystic identified as Makama could perform the ceremony
244
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:51.299
were dashed when his girlfriend, a local traditional healer, told
245
00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:54.220
authorities that travel restrictions prevented him from returning to the
246
00:13:54.259 --> 00:13:57.759
country very often. While it is possible to reverse the curse,
247
00:13:57.779 --> 00:14:01.279
she said it would require considerable effort and proper communication
248
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:04.240
with the ancestors who permitted the ritual to occur. So
249
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:08.000
this is a whole corporate conspiracy here. This isn't just
250
00:14:08.179 --> 00:14:11.750
one guy. This isn't a small business, you know, local
251
00:14:11.850 --> 00:14:17.009
self-employed handyman mystic. This is a mystic that reports to
252
00:14:17.049 --> 00:14:20.570
a corporate board. they've got to go they've got to
253
00:14:20.610 --> 00:14:23.250
consult the elders to get anything to get you know
254
00:14:23.269 --> 00:14:25.889
like when you call up door dash and you say
255
00:14:25.929 --> 00:14:28.220
hey i didn't get my order and they go well
256
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:30.820
we can refund you 20 you go my order was
257
00:14:30.820 --> 00:14:33.759
45 and i didn't get any of it and they
258
00:14:33.779 --> 00:14:35.620
go well i'm gonna have to escalate this to my
259
00:14:35.659 --> 00:14:38.820
boss this is the same thing hey can you reverse
260
00:14:38.860 --> 00:14:42.320
this curse that gave my mother cancer and cost my
261
00:14:42.379 --> 00:14:46.000
father his job and caused all these other problems in
262
00:14:46.059 --> 00:14:49.519
our life. Well, I can't do that, but let me
263
00:14:49.620 --> 00:14:51.720
escalate it to my manager and see what he says.
264
00:14:52.379 --> 00:14:55.519
So as the judge overseeing the case ultimately asked local
265
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:57.990
authorities and the impacted parties to resolve the situation with
266
00:14:58.029 --> 00:15:01.210
an aim toward cleansing the affected family members. As for
267
00:15:01.230 --> 00:15:02.950
the man, he was sentenced to one year in jail
268
00:15:02.990 --> 00:15:05.809
for violating the Witchcraft Act. It is unlikely to be
269
00:15:05.850 --> 00:15:08.450
invited to any future family gatherings when he gets out
270
00:15:08.490 --> 00:15:10.210
of jail. I like the little subtle jab at him there.
271
00:15:11.370 --> 00:15:15.669
You know what? I think we need those laws in America.
272
00:15:16.129 --> 00:15:17.799
I think those are the laws we need to pass
273
00:15:17.860 --> 00:15:21.600
in America. I think if we did that, we would
274
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.179
be a much more polite society. And you know what?
275
00:15:24.220 --> 00:15:26.340
This app that we're all on here right now, TikTok,
276
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:30.090
could be a whole lot more, a little bit of
277
00:15:30.129 --> 00:15:32.950
an easier pill to swallow, I guess I could say.
278
00:15:33.009 --> 00:15:36.230
They could get rid of witch talk. I was cursed
279
00:15:36.309 --> 00:15:40.220
by witch talk. Multiple times I've been cursed by witch talk.
280
00:15:40.950 --> 00:15:45.470
And nothing ever happened. Nothing. I had someone literally curse
281
00:15:45.509 --> 00:15:48.190
me by name because I made fun of tarot cards
282
00:15:48.750 --> 00:15:50.210
and they swore to me that I was going to
283
00:15:50.230 --> 00:15:52.379
get obliterated and my life was going to get ruined.
284
00:15:52.509 --> 00:15:55.700
And literally nothing bad happened to me. Things only got better.
285
00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.159
It was great. I, you know, I, you know, like
286
00:15:58.379 --> 00:16:00.820
when I had that video went viral on TikTok, that
287
00:16:00.980 --> 00:16:07.500
stupid video, stupid, stupid video, um, about Thanksgiving creamed corn
288
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.039
ingredients and getting it wrong. And I had people saying
289
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:14.200
it was this weaponized incompetence and I was an abuser
290
00:16:14.299 --> 00:16:16.039
over a joke and it was just a whole thing.
291
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:22.570
And I had witches placing curses on me live on TikTok,
292
00:16:22.610 --> 00:16:25.649
like cursing my name, just crazy stuff. Nothing happened to me.
293
00:16:26.009 --> 00:16:29.230
I received DMs saying, we told the trees about you.
294
00:16:29.529 --> 00:16:32.610
And I replied, I told my unregistered firearm about you
295
00:16:32.629 --> 00:16:36.299
and I didn't hear back. So evidently, I live in
296
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:39.169
a state where I don't need to have an unregistered firearm.
297
00:16:39.210 --> 00:16:42.269
This is a red state. I'm completely within the law
298
00:16:42.289 --> 00:16:46.169
to say that, by the way. So it says, all right,
299
00:16:46.210 --> 00:16:47.929
so let's get into the first person that needs some
300
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.659
advice here before I, Mia thinks I'm incriminating myself on camera,
301
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:54.139
but I'm not. Everything I've said has been within the law.
302
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:57.379
And it's all satire. I'm worried about getting kicked off
303
00:16:57.500 --> 00:17:00.350
TikTok live. That's what your big concern is. Yeah, if
304
00:17:00.409 --> 00:17:03.299
I go to jail, she doesn't give a crap. It's all. Says,
305
00:17:03.610 --> 00:17:05.569
all right, let's go to the first one here. So
306
00:17:05.609 --> 00:17:08.990
it's unsolicited advice. I haven't read any of these. These
307
00:17:09.049 --> 00:17:11.349
are people that are looking for advice from strangers on
308
00:17:11.369 --> 00:17:14.630
the internet, but not us. And that's where the unsolicited
309
00:17:14.690 --> 00:17:16.890
portion comes from in the name. All right, let's go
310
00:17:16.950 --> 00:17:18.880
to it. I'm sure this will get some judgment. This
311
00:17:18.950 --> 00:17:21.279
is in Wedding Rant. But me and my wife are
312
00:17:21.299 --> 00:17:24.099
having a little disagreement. We want our girlfriend who is
313
00:17:24.220 --> 00:17:28.640
also M-O-H. What does M-O-H mean? Maid of Honor. Okay.
314
00:17:29.900 --> 00:17:34.099
So this is a polygamist couple. I thought I could
315
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.400
smell something through the screen. We want our girlfriend, who's
316
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.549
also the maid of honor, to come on the honeymoon,
317
00:17:40.589 --> 00:17:42.750
which is fine, but she now wants us to pay
318
00:17:43.210 --> 00:17:46.549
for her new boyfriend. But they've already been together a
319
00:17:46.690 --> 00:17:49.250
few months and are on and off as he don't
320
00:17:49.329 --> 00:17:52.809
like he has to share with us. We get married
321
00:17:52.930 --> 00:17:56.380
in December and don't want to waste money on extra
322
00:17:56.420 --> 00:17:59.839
flights and also another room as originally we were going
323
00:17:59.880 --> 00:18:03.809
to share. He can't afford to pay himself. My girlfriend said,
324
00:18:04.089 --> 00:18:06.130
let's all share a room, but I don't mind the
325
00:18:06.269 --> 00:18:09.410
odd day or night altogether, but I wanted to make
326
00:18:09.450 --> 00:18:12.250
it about my new wife whilst not excluding our girlfriend.
327
00:18:12.990 --> 00:18:16.109
Anyone else had a similar situation and can give advice.
328
00:18:16.789 --> 00:18:19.930
You know, there's a Norm MacDonald quote from when he
329
00:18:19.990 --> 00:18:22.220
used to host the news on Saturday Night Live that
330
00:18:22.259 --> 00:18:24.140
comes to mind here. It used to be a sound
331
00:18:24.180 --> 00:18:26.740
effect on the show when we had our soundboard. Do
332
00:18:26.779 --> 00:18:30.000
you have any idea what that might be? I believe
333
00:18:30.059 --> 00:18:33.799
everyone involved in this story should die. That's what I think. Yes,
334
00:18:33.900 --> 00:18:36.200
my advice is all four of you should take a
335
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:39.880
cyanide pill on the honeymoon and get it over with,
336
00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:42.019
save the rest of us the trouble from having to
337
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.539
deal with you. That's what I think you should do.
338
00:18:46.099 --> 00:18:50.430
You know, it's like, it's quite the predicament you're in here, sir.
339
00:18:50.470 --> 00:18:53.289
I'm assuming this is a sir. I don't know. It's anonymous.
340
00:18:53.910 --> 00:18:57.069
It's quite the predicament you're in here, sir. It's almost
341
00:18:57.130 --> 00:18:59.339
like there's something you could have done to avoid it,
342
00:18:59.670 --> 00:19:03.740
like not being degenerate trash. You could have done that.
343
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.059
That could have avoided this entire situation. I have no
344
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:12.140
respect for anyone in a polyamorous relationship. None on, on
345
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:14.819
either side, whether it's a man with multiple women or
346
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:17.140
a woman with multiple men, because for two different reasons,
347
00:19:17.380 --> 00:19:19.509
when it's a man with multiple women, it's almost always
348
00:19:19.569 --> 00:19:23.069
some weird, like religious extremist stuff. And it's like a
349
00:19:23.150 --> 00:19:25.349
women's rights thing that's going on. I don't like you
350
00:19:25.369 --> 00:19:27.829
guys for that. And then the women with multiple men,
351
00:19:28.170 --> 00:19:30.809
it's or the open relationships, I guess they're called where
352
00:19:30.829 --> 00:19:33.369
they just sleep with whoever they want. Open relationships aren't
353
00:19:33.380 --> 00:19:36.230
a thing, right? That's not a thing. Open marriages aren't
354
00:19:36.250 --> 00:19:39.490
a thing. You have a roommate that you sometimes sleep with,
355
00:19:39.990 --> 00:19:42.490
but you've got all this weird emotional attachment to her,
356
00:19:42.950 --> 00:19:44.829
and she's going out and banging other guys. And every
357
00:19:44.890 --> 00:19:46.789
now and then you might score, but let's be honest,
358
00:19:46.809 --> 00:19:49.569
those ratios are not even. I have no respect for
359
00:19:49.630 --> 00:19:52.059
anyone that... in one. If you are in an open marriage,
360
00:19:52.099 --> 00:19:54.039
if you are in an open relationship, if you are
361
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:58.009
in a polyamorous relationship, you are not in a real relationship. Specifically,
362
00:19:58.069 --> 00:20:00.470
if you are a man, if you are a man,
363
00:20:01.069 --> 00:20:03.950
all you are is a simp that's getting cheated on
364
00:20:04.009 --> 00:20:06.630
by a whore and you're doing this to cope with
365
00:20:06.670 --> 00:20:08.839
the fact that you're a simp who's getting cheated on
366
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.400
by a whore. Instead of growing a pair and breaking
367
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:13.039
up with her or putting your foot down and saying,
368
00:20:13.059 --> 00:20:16.779
we're not doing this anymore, you've given it this name,
369
00:20:16.859 --> 00:20:21.599
an open relationship as a coping mechanism. You're a loser.
370
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:25.369
You're a loser. I have no respect for you. Break
371
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:26.869
up with that girl and go to the gym. Do
372
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.250
you want to add anything here? I think you pretty
373
00:20:30.269 --> 00:20:32.890
much covered it. I did. Good. Good. Did we piss
374
00:20:32.910 --> 00:20:35.819
the polygamous off? All of them. Good. All of the
375
00:20:35.859 --> 00:20:37.420
polygamists left all at once.
376
00:20:37.500 --> 00:20:37.740
Good.
377
00:20:38.619 --> 00:20:40.920
I hope they all left to do a suicide pact.
378
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:44.859
All right, next up. Posting anonymously because I don't want
379
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:49.130
my husband to know. That's always good. I'm speaking about
380
00:20:49.170 --> 00:20:51.980
his children. He has three girls, ages 10, 10.
381
00:20:51.970 --> 00:20:52.109
And 12.
382
00:20:52.109 --> 00:20:55.690
They do have a huge appetite, which I understand is
383
00:20:55.750 --> 00:20:59.779
normal for growing kids, so she's calling them fatties. That's
384
00:20:59.819 --> 00:21:03.509
a translation there. But how do you go about addressing
385
00:21:03.549 --> 00:21:05.750
the issue of the fact that two out of the
386
00:21:05.789 --> 00:21:07.880
three of them are obese? How did I call it?
387
00:21:08.650 --> 00:21:13.029
I'm the Messiah. Remember, it's a future predictor here. And
388
00:21:13.069 --> 00:21:15.369
when they go to their moms for half the week,
389
00:21:15.869 --> 00:21:18.970
half of the food they eat is not healthy. Every
390
00:21:19.009 --> 00:21:21.150
time I try to do something about this issue, my
391
00:21:21.190 --> 00:21:23.859
frustration gets the best of me. And I end up
392
00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:27.640
either ignoring it or upsetting my husband because he gets defensive.
393
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:29.859
Should I just give up on the issue and say
394
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:32.779
it's not my circus, not my clowns type situation? I
395
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:35.289
try to be a good example and steer meals in
396
00:21:35.309 --> 00:21:38.789
the right direction. There's always chips, cereal, ice cream, etc.
397
00:21:39.190 --> 00:21:40.930
I also have a toddler with my husband now. I'm
398
00:21:40.970 --> 00:21:42.529
afraid that he might end up in the same boat. Well,
399
00:21:42.569 --> 00:21:45.450
you can control what what food is in and out
400
00:21:45.490 --> 00:21:47.630
of your house, what gets eaten at your house. You
401
00:21:47.650 --> 00:21:51.700
can control that. But this is why I'm sorry, ladies
402
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:54.859
and gentlemen, maybe this seems harsh. I know that's kind
403
00:21:54.900 --> 00:21:56.660
of the trend of this show is I just give
404
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.599
extreme takes that are that are harsh to the average
405
00:21:59.630 --> 00:22:02.500
person's set of ears but they're the reality maybe this
406
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:07.200
seems harsh but if you've got an obese kid i
407
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:10.319
think cps should be able to get involved there unless
408
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:12.940
you can prove that there's some kind of medical condition
409
00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:16.380
causing this if your kid is like morbidly obese and
410
00:22:16.420 --> 00:22:19.000
we all know what morbidly obese is we're not talking
411
00:22:19.019 --> 00:22:21.579
a little chunky we're talking morbid obesity what is the
412
00:22:21.619 --> 00:22:25.859
dog doing he's causing a whole bunch of problems down
413
00:22:25.900 --> 00:22:29.269
there CPS should be able to get involved, though. I mean,
414
00:22:29.309 --> 00:22:32.549
your kid is going to go through a whole life
415
00:22:32.609 --> 00:22:36.410
of pain and suffering, heart disease, diabetes, all of these
416
00:22:36.529 --> 00:22:40.650
otherwise avoidable conditions because the parents don't have the discipline
417
00:22:40.690 --> 00:22:43.920
to say no. And that's the thing with kids. With kids,
418
00:22:43.980 --> 00:22:46.279
it's the same thing as dogs. The kids don't have
419
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:50.059
a job. They can't drive. The kids can't stop and
420
00:22:50.140 --> 00:22:52.079
eat a bunch of junk at McDonald's or at the
421
00:22:52.140 --> 00:22:55.140
gas station on their way home from work. You, the parent,
422
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:57.400
buy them that stuff. And if you want to get
423
00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:59.900
yourself up to 500 pounds, then so be it. But
424
00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:01.809
the government shouldn't have to take care of your health care,
425
00:23:01.829 --> 00:23:03.769
in my opinion. But if you want to get yourself
426
00:23:03.849 --> 00:23:06.210
up that big, then so be it. But you don't
427
00:23:06.230 --> 00:23:08.750
get to do that to your kids. You don't get
428
00:23:08.789 --> 00:23:13.490
to do that to your kids. Weight loss and weight gain,
429
00:23:13.549 --> 00:23:16.589
when you're that young especially, is calories in, calories out.
430
00:23:17.059 --> 00:23:19.119
And you did that to them. You got no right
431
00:23:19.140 --> 00:23:21.140
to do it. And this is the problem here is
432
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:24.279
your hands are tied. In a healthy society, you'd be
433
00:23:24.380 --> 00:23:26.299
able to tip the police off and say, hey, this
434
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:29.099
woman's abusing her kids because she is. And it would
435
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:30.940
be part of the custody battle. But you can't do
436
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:33.900
that now because the liberals have destroyed this country with
437
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.920
the fat activists and body positivity and all that crap. Okay,
438
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:41.660
next one. Am I the asshole for leaving without a
439
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:45.599
friend who constantly shows up late? No. No. I can
440
00:23:45.619 --> 00:23:53.000
tell you that right now. No. This is America. We
441
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:57.450
have set timelines on things. People have busy schedules. When
442
00:23:57.470 --> 00:24:00.170
we give something a hard start time, that is when
443
00:24:00.210 --> 00:24:03.509
it starts, especially when people are given a long period
444
00:24:03.529 --> 00:24:06.460
of time to come to terms with when that event
445
00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:09.440
starts and the opportunity to put it in their phone
446
00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:12.390
and even Maybe if you're really nice, which you shouldn't be.
447
00:24:12.769 --> 00:24:15.009
But if you're really nice, you give them a courtesy
448
00:24:15.089 --> 00:24:19.809
text and go, hey, are you still coming to this
449
00:24:19.890 --> 00:24:23.890
event tonight at this time? And they're still late? That's
450
00:24:23.950 --> 00:24:27.539
not a person... No, fuck those people. Fuck them. You
451
00:24:27.579 --> 00:24:30.079
either show up on time or you start without them.
452
00:24:30.099 --> 00:24:32.099
Doesn't mean you have to cut them off. Doesn't mean
453
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:35.359
you don't have to be friends with them. But those
454
00:24:35.380 --> 00:24:38.640
are the people... No, you should know... All it takes
455
00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:42.039
with those people is a couple of times, a couple
456
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:44.819
of times where something starts without them or they get
457
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.529
left behind and they feel like a piece of shit.
458
00:24:47.619 --> 00:24:49.890
And you know what? They should because they wanted to
459
00:24:49.910 --> 00:24:52.690
be a narcissist and make everybody wait for them. They
460
00:24:52.730 --> 00:24:55.769
feel like a piece of shit because it started without
461
00:24:55.789 --> 00:24:58.970
them and they don't do it again. So it says
462
00:24:59.009 --> 00:25:00.650
I have a friend. Let's call him again. Why would
463
00:25:00.670 --> 00:25:03.559
you call him that? He's constantly late, not occasionally. It's systematic.
464
00:25:03.980 --> 00:25:07.079
He also sometimes cancels plans at the last minute. keeps
465
00:25:07.099 --> 00:25:09.619
people waiting without any updates. Now that's a whole other thing.
466
00:25:09.660 --> 00:25:12.579
The canceling plans. I've already explained to him several times
467
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:14.779
that I find this disrespectful, but nothing is true. Why
468
00:25:14.819 --> 00:25:17.529
are you still hanging out with him? Like how many times,
469
00:25:18.069 --> 00:25:20.750
if it's that big of a deal to you, why
470
00:25:20.809 --> 00:25:23.470
are you still extending the invite to this guy? It
471
00:25:23.509 --> 00:25:27.319
doesn't make any sense to me once or twice. Okay.
472
00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:29.279
You have the conversation. He keeps doing it. It's a
473
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:33.440
lack of respect. He's your friend. You're not married to him.
474
00:25:33.460 --> 00:25:36.279
You don't work for him. He doesn't work for you.
475
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:39.890
Why are you complicating this? Yo, dude, this is what
476
00:25:39.930 --> 00:25:42.549
time we start. If you don't show up at the
477
00:25:42.609 --> 00:25:45.970
time we start, don't bother coming. We don't want you here.
478
00:25:46.410 --> 00:25:49.210
Easy conversation to have. Because a few days ago, we
479
00:25:49.230 --> 00:25:53.519
were invited to party and plan to continue the evening
480
00:25:54.180 --> 00:25:56.819
somewhere else afterward. Yan was supposed to come with us
481
00:25:56.859 --> 00:25:59.940
by car since he had no means of transportation. Of course,
482
00:26:00.180 --> 00:26:03.509
of course. When it was time to leave, he told
483
00:26:03.589 --> 00:26:06.009
us he was quickly going upstairs. We waited for... Oh,
484
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:09.660
so this guy's already there. Waited for him for 40 minutes.
485
00:26:09.940 --> 00:26:11.599
He knew we were there waiting for him, but he
486
00:26:11.619 --> 00:26:15.339
didn't answer calls or messages the entire time. After 40 minutes,
487
00:26:15.380 --> 00:26:18.480
I decided to leave. Mood had died down. That's way
488
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:22.279
more time than I would have given this guy. Literally.
489
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:24.940
If we're at your house and you go, I'm going
490
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:27.480
to run upstairs real quick and then we can get going.
491
00:26:29.089 --> 00:26:32.980
And you're gone for more than... I don't know, eight minutes.
492
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:36.759
I'm going to go upstairs and go, hey, you're ready
493
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:39.400
to go? We got to get going here. You give
494
00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:42.299
it another five minutes. I'm going to go, yo, bus
495
00:26:42.380 --> 00:26:45.190
is leaving. If you're not down here in two minutes,
496
00:26:45.390 --> 00:26:47.390
we're going to be gone. And then I'm going to leave.
497
00:26:47.390 --> 00:26:50.549
40 minutes is, you're an enabler at this point. That's
498
00:26:50.609 --> 00:26:52.829
an insane amount of time to give somebody like this.
499
00:26:53.369 --> 00:26:55.759
We waited for him. He knew we were waiting for him.
500
00:26:55.769 --> 00:26:57.369
He didn't answer calls or messages the whole time. I
501
00:26:57.390 --> 00:26:59.150
decided to leave, mooted, died down, no longer felt like
502
00:26:59.230 --> 00:27:02.799
waiting for someone who seemed to have no consideration whatsoever
503
00:27:02.859 --> 00:27:05.920
for our time. It's exactly it. It's a lack of respect.
504
00:27:05.980 --> 00:27:08.859
The same person who completely stopped responding, then magically regained
505
00:27:08.900 --> 00:27:10.299
his use of phone when he learned that we were
506
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:12.480
about to leave. He thought it was perfectly normal for
507
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:13.880
me to turn around and come pick him up in
508
00:27:13.900 --> 00:27:16.450
front of his house. I refused. In the end, the
509
00:27:16.549 --> 00:27:20.180
rest of the night was canceled. friend accused me of
510
00:27:20.259 --> 00:27:22.579
ruining the evening by throwing a fit when I could
511
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:25.019
have just waited a few more minutes. No, you're all wrong.
512
00:27:25.059 --> 00:27:27.359
You give this guy way too much leeway. You don't
513
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:30.660
give someone 40 minutes to get ready. That's an insane
514
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:34.400
amount of time. You don't give someone 40 minutes to
515
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:37.240
get ready unless that person got shot and they need
516
00:27:37.259 --> 00:27:39.799
to go to the hospital. So as I therefore made
517
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:41.779
sure to remind everyone that I'm not an Uber driver
518
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:44.019
for late people, I also told Yan to go fuck
519
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:46.240
himself if he thought I was too impatient for his liking.
520
00:27:46.630 --> 00:27:48.869
Am I in the wrong? Would you have waited longer?
521
00:27:48.930 --> 00:27:51.190
Am I there? No, absolutely not. Like I said, I
522
00:27:51.210 --> 00:27:53.309
would have given this guy about half as much time
523
00:27:53.369 --> 00:27:55.490
as you people did. And your friends need to get
524
00:27:55.569 --> 00:27:57.730
on board with it, too, because you are all right
525
00:27:57.769 --> 00:28:01.450
now enabling this guy. You're OK with being victims in
526
00:28:01.490 --> 00:28:03.539
his stupid little game. And this guy may not be
527
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:05.940
a narcissist, right? He may not like he may not
528
00:28:05.980 --> 00:28:09.519
be some freak that gets off on the power trip
529
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:13.200
that comes with making everybody else wait for him. He
530
00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:16.569
might just be an inconsiderate prick. You've got to consider
531
00:28:16.589 --> 00:28:18.329
that as well. And if he's going to be an
532
00:28:18.369 --> 00:28:22.880
inconsiderate prick toward you, why should you consider him at all? Leave.
533
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:29.539
What do you think? Well, he's just time blind. What
534
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:33.309
is time blind? That feels like Tik TOK speak Gen
535
00:28:33.349 --> 00:28:39.529
Z Tik TOK speak. It is. Okay. It's, I don't
536
00:28:39.569 --> 00:28:40.210
know what it is.
537
00:28:40.490 --> 00:28:43.609
It's they can't pay attention to time or something like that.
538
00:28:43.650 --> 00:28:46.049
But they can pay attention to it when it works
539
00:28:46.170 --> 00:28:48.150
in their benefit. When it works in their favor, yeah.
540
00:28:48.250 --> 00:28:50.190
And those same people, the type of people, if you
541
00:28:50.230 --> 00:28:52.799
show up a minute late to something they need you
542
00:28:52.819 --> 00:28:54.480
there on time for, it's the end of the world.
543
00:28:54.500 --> 00:28:58.059
All right, next one. Was just looking for some advice
544
00:28:58.099 --> 00:29:00.619
and wondering if I'm being unreasonable here. I was supposed
545
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:02.839
to go and see my girlfriend and her 10-year-old daughter
546
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:06.750
this evening. Single mother again. It was a date. It
547
00:29:06.789 --> 00:29:11.259
was just going to hers to watch the football. Okay.
548
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:17.380
The football. 95-year-old man writing this. I started feeling unwell
549
00:29:17.420 --> 00:29:20.750
today and suffer really badly with acid reflux. And today
550
00:29:20.769 --> 00:29:23.089
has been a particularly bad day where I can eat
551
00:29:23.130 --> 00:29:26.710
or drink without throwing up. My girlfriend lives in London
552
00:29:26.829 --> 00:29:28.750
and I live in Norwich. So it's around a two
553
00:29:28.769 --> 00:29:31.799
and a half hour journey. depending on the traffic and
554
00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:34.920
how many Muslim rape gangs we encounter and get stabbed
555
00:29:34.980 --> 00:29:39.890
by on the way. I added the last part. I didn't,
556
00:29:39.950 --> 00:29:42.069
feel well enough to make the trip, so I told
557
00:29:42.109 --> 00:29:44.079
her I'd have to cancel and asked if we could
558
00:29:44.170 --> 00:29:47.019
see how I was feeling tomorrow instead. She told me
559
00:29:47.059 --> 00:29:49.980
her daughter was upset that I wasn't coming, that she
560
00:29:50.019 --> 00:29:51.839
then took her daughter out for a meal and later
561
00:29:51.900 --> 00:29:53.700
messaged me saying she didn't really have the money to
562
00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:56.819
do that, that she's now broke. And that she only
563
00:29:56.839 --> 00:29:59.980
took her daughter out because she was upset about me canceling.
564
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:02.500
The daughter, that is. She now thinks I should pay
565
00:30:02.539 --> 00:30:05.359
for their meal because this situation was caused by me
566
00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:14.859
not coming over. Break up with this girl. Break up
567
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:18.369
with this girl. This is a master manipulator. I'm sure
568
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:21.130
this isn't the first time this has happened. If it is,
569
00:30:21.329 --> 00:30:25.190
it certainly won't be the last. Avoid this woman like
570
00:30:25.250 --> 00:30:31.789
the plague. You got sick. She decided, instead of using
571
00:30:31.829 --> 00:30:35.630
this as an opportunity to teach her daughter that sometimes
572
00:30:35.690 --> 00:30:39.869
in life we have to deal with disappointment, plans fall through,
573
00:30:39.950 --> 00:30:43.579
shit happens, she decided to coddle her and take her
574
00:30:43.650 --> 00:30:45.880
out to eat. Now, it would have been completely fine
575
00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:49.180
to take her out to eat to make it up
576
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:51.900
to her if she could afford it, but she couldn't.
577
00:30:52.549 --> 00:30:54.529
You didn't point a gun at her head while you're
578
00:30:54.549 --> 00:30:56.269
in England. You're not allowed to have a gun because
579
00:30:56.289 --> 00:30:59.049
you've been cucked in that whole country. You didn't point
580
00:30:59.210 --> 00:31:03.430
an unregistered knife at her throat and make her go
581
00:31:03.509 --> 00:31:05.509
out and take her daughter out to a restaurant that
582
00:31:05.549 --> 00:31:07.519
she couldn't afford. She did that on her own accord.
583
00:31:07.579 --> 00:31:09.960
She offered it. You don't offer things you can't afford.
584
00:31:10.220 --> 00:31:12.759
And I'd be willing to bet she offered it with
585
00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:16.059
the thought in the back of her mind that she
586
00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:17.900
was going to guilt trip you into paying for it.
587
00:31:19.259 --> 00:31:22.160
Whether she has the money or not is irrelevant. You
588
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:25.940
should tell her, and I quote, have your next boyfriend
589
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:30.279
pick up the tab. That's all I got. Last one.
590
00:31:31.579 --> 00:31:34.160
Am I the jerk for wanting to tell my spouse's
591
00:31:34.180 --> 00:31:37.910
family that my brother-in-law cannot bring his new girlfriend and
592
00:31:37.930 --> 00:31:41.869
that I'll cancel Thanksgiving if uninvited guests show up? My
593
00:31:41.930 --> 00:31:45.769
spouse and I originally invited one out-of-state brother, Joe, his wife,
594
00:31:45.849 --> 00:31:49.289
and their daughter for Thanksgiving. Shortly after, my in-laws mentioned
595
00:31:49.349 --> 00:31:51.880
wanting to visit. I noted that Joe was already staying
596
00:31:51.900 --> 00:31:53.980
with us and our guest rooms were full, hoping they'd
597
00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:56.700
pick another time. Instead, they took this opportunity to organize
598
00:31:56.779 --> 00:31:59.660
a full family reunion at our home and invited the
599
00:31:59.700 --> 00:32:02.720
remaining brother, Bob, without asking us. None of my own
600
00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:05.559
family will be there. My in-laws have a history of
601
00:32:05.619 --> 00:32:08.279
treating our home and vacations like their own. Are they Mormon?
602
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:12.700
Even inviting extra people without telling us. However, my primary
603
00:32:12.740 --> 00:32:16.519
concern is Bob Forty's. Bob dates chaotic, high-drama women with
604
00:32:16.579 --> 00:32:20.230
zero boundaries and moves way too fast. I hate guys
605
00:32:20.269 --> 00:32:23.630
like that. At a past family gathering, he showed up
606
00:32:23.769 --> 00:32:27.769
unannounced with five extra guests, relatives of his then girlfriend,
607
00:32:28.069 --> 00:32:31.009
without checking if there was enough food or space. His
608
00:32:31.089 --> 00:32:34.380
parents enable him out of sympathy. Bob recently started dating
609
00:32:34.410 --> 00:32:36.359
a new girl who has kids. Neither my spouse or
610
00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:39.039
I have ever met her or the children. My spouse
611
00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:42.079
fully agrees they do not want strangers or high drama
612
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:44.640
people in our house around our children, but they lack
613
00:32:44.660 --> 00:32:47.559
the backbone to set firm boundaries with their own family.
614
00:32:48.049 --> 00:32:50.849
Because my spouse won't step up, I want to tell
615
00:32:50.890 --> 00:32:53.710
their family directly that while Bob is welcome, he cannot
616
00:32:53.750 --> 00:32:56.930
bring any guests I haven't personally met, including the new
617
00:32:56.970 --> 00:32:59.170
girlfriend and her kids. Furthermore, I want to establish a
618
00:32:59.190 --> 00:33:02.470
firm boundary. The holiday is for close family only, and
619
00:33:02.529 --> 00:33:05.220
if anyone shows up with uninvited guests, the gathering is
620
00:33:05.259 --> 00:33:08.019
immediately over, and everyone will be asked to leave. The
621
00:33:08.059 --> 00:33:11.779
family is used to catering to Bob, and I know
622
00:33:11.859 --> 00:33:14.599
taking charge of this boundary will cause friction. Well, it
623
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:17.119
sounds like you've already got the answer to what needs
624
00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:19.609
to be done. I don't need to tell you what
625
00:33:19.650 --> 00:33:21.670
you need to say because you've already figured that out.
626
00:33:22.970 --> 00:33:27.849
So I would suggest you grow a pair and you
627
00:33:27.890 --> 00:33:33.319
tell your in-laws that. Tell your wife or husband or whatever, hey,
628
00:33:34.660 --> 00:33:36.960
I'm going to tell your in-laws this because we're on
629
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.759
the same page. I want to give you the opportunity
630
00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:43.079
to have the conversation first. But if you're not going to,
631
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:47.720
then I'm going to do it. That's how simple this is.
632
00:33:48.619 --> 00:33:51.880
That's how easy this is. Everyone's way overthinking this. You
633
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:55.140
already know what needs to be said. It's your spouse's family.
634
00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:58.119
Give her the opportunity to go out and have that
635
00:33:58.180 --> 00:34:01.900
conversation with them first. If she says no, reassess that
636
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:04.720
you're on the same page and then go lay the
637
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:07.809
law down. That's all there is to it.
638
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:09.119
What?
639
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:13.920
You're shaking your head. Was I wrong? Oh, you're going
640
00:34:13.940 --> 00:34:17.289
to send me one more story. Okay, cool. Go out
641
00:34:17.329 --> 00:34:20.099
and lay the law down with these people. Listen, folks,
642
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:25.659
life is too short to be a doormat to anybody.
643
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:32.820
To anybody, let alone your in-laws, because you don't really
644
00:34:32.860 --> 00:34:35.389
get to pick those people. They kind of come as
645
00:34:35.429 --> 00:34:38.690
a package deal, you know, with your spouse and you
646
00:34:38.710 --> 00:34:41.699
just determine who that they're not a deal breaker. You know,
647
00:34:41.820 --> 00:34:44.219
that's really how it goes. So if you're going to
648
00:34:44.260 --> 00:34:47.849
let these people run rampant all over you for the
649
00:34:47.889 --> 00:34:49.909
next couple, you know, for the rest of your life,
650
00:34:49.949 --> 00:34:53.050
then that's your bed. You've chosen to make it and
651
00:34:53.090 --> 00:34:54.789
you're going to be miserable for the rest of your
652
00:34:54.849 --> 00:34:57.340
life because of it. So if that's what you want
653
00:34:57.380 --> 00:34:59.460
to do, then I guess go ahead and just live
654
00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:01.760
with it and let Bob bring his trashy, you know,
655
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:05.119
neck tattoo girlfriend and her bastard kids in with her.
656
00:35:06.130 --> 00:35:09.210
and just have fun have a good thanksgiving but otherwise
657
00:35:09.289 --> 00:35:11.010
no you got to lay the law down with these
658
00:35:11.050 --> 00:35:14.969
people now um or and hear me out or you
659
00:35:14.989 --> 00:35:17.530
could try to sabotage you got some time between now
660

00:35:26.900 --> 00:35:28.380
still going to be in with this girl at this
663
00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:32.079
time you could try to sabotage You could do a
664
00:35:32.340 --> 00:35:36.340
Dale Gribble and hire an attractive Native American man to
665
00:35:36.380 --> 00:35:39.179
go out and sleep with her to split him up
666
00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:43.099
like he did with John Redcorn. Okay, this is the
667
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:46.179
last one. Am I the asshole for not inviting my
668
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:53.119
brother's fiance to my bachelorette trip? Hi, all. My brother
669
00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:55.940
got engaged in June to his fiance, Sarah. She's around
670
00:35:55.980 --> 00:35:58.300
our age. We're friendly, but we aren't close and only
671
00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:01.329
small talk. i haven't tried to be her friend but
672
00:36:01.369 --> 00:36:04.489
she hasn't either in may my bat my beach trip
673
00:36:04.530 --> 00:36:06.570
i'm assuming is what that was supposed to say with
674
00:36:07.030 --> 00:36:10.329
batch trip yeah oh batch bachelorette i get it was
675
00:36:10.369 --> 00:36:12.949
planned for august we have a large friend group that
676
00:36:12.989 --> 00:36:15.130
includes my brother but sarah isn't really part of it
677
00:36:15.230 --> 00:36:17.460
as neither of them have been around since they started
678
00:36:17.500 --> 00:36:20.519
dating half the girls in the group were invited after
679
00:36:20.539 --> 00:36:22.780
they got engaged in june my sister and i decided
680
00:36:22.820 --> 00:36:26.340
to invite sarah since she'd soon be our sister It
681
00:36:26.460 --> 00:36:29.340
moved to the back burner because my bridal shower was
682
00:36:29.380 --> 00:36:31.519
in early July. Sarah had been invited for months and
683
00:36:31.619 --> 00:36:34.460
RSVP'd yes. On the day of the shower, she messaged
684
00:36:34.579 --> 00:36:36.239
one of the girls saying she was on the way,
685
00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:39.139
then said she wasn't feeling well. I didn't know until
686
00:36:39.179 --> 00:36:40.780
the girl told me, but she said she'd be there
687
00:36:40.820 --> 00:36:43.139
by 1230. It started at 12. She didn't arrive until
688
00:36:43.179 --> 00:36:45.500
it was already over when my brother came to help
689
00:36:45.539 --> 00:36:47.880
tear down. I said, oh, hey, how are you feeling?
690
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:50.340
I heard you were sick. My sister then pulled us
691
00:36:50.420 --> 00:36:53.300
into a photo and Sarah awkwardly laughed and walked away.
692
00:36:53.780 --> 00:36:56.179
I said, all righty, and got caught up saying goodbye
693
00:36:56.199 --> 00:36:59.110
to everyone. They left before I saw them go. Later
694
00:36:59.139 --> 00:37:01.829
that week, my brother asked me to walk their dog
695
00:37:01.849 --> 00:37:03.849
because neither of them would be home that morning. Why
696
00:37:03.889 --> 00:37:06.150
are you people so... The dog is not going to
697
00:37:06.190 --> 00:37:08.150
die if you don't walk it. This is the second
698
00:37:08.210 --> 00:37:10.849
week in a row where walking the dog has been
699
00:37:10.909 --> 00:37:13.869
treated like a fucking national security issue here. I don't
700
00:37:13.909 --> 00:37:18.170
understand this. My dog misses a walk. He's fine. It's
701
00:37:18.210 --> 00:37:21.280
not a big deal. And he's a working dog. So, like,
702
00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:23.219
they got to get up and move. He's fine if
703
00:37:23.260 --> 00:37:29.480
he misses one. It's not a big deal. Says, I agreed,
704
00:37:29.539 --> 00:37:31.960
walked the dog and sat with them for 20 minutes.
705
00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:34.039
I took a cute photo and sent it to both
706
00:37:34.099 --> 00:37:36.159
of them saying he was a cutie as you would
707
00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:38.590
when dog sitting. I then got a barrage of texts
708
00:37:38.610 --> 00:37:41.130
from my brother asking why I sent the photo saying
709
00:37:41.190 --> 00:37:43.969
Sarah was furious, hated people being in the house and
710
00:37:44.070 --> 00:37:46.250
asking why I was there. I was put off because
711
00:37:46.269 --> 00:37:48.090
they didn't know my visit was a secret from her.
712
00:37:48.570 --> 00:37:51.030
I'd also been in their house many times before with them.
713
00:37:51.570 --> 00:37:53.900
After this, I told my sister and we decided not
714
00:37:53.940 --> 00:37:56.500
to invite Sarah because we didn't want potential drama at
715
00:37:56.519 --> 00:37:59.539
the bachelorette party. Yeah, this girl's a psycho. This girl's
716
00:37:59.559 --> 00:38:02.360
going to kill you while in your sleep. Stay the
717
00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:06.159
hell away from her. None of this communication was ever
718
00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:11.260
directly between Sarah and me. Or it says it was
719
00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:14.800
either her messaging someone else or my brother relaying things
720
00:38:14.860 --> 00:38:17.420
to me. The trip happened. Oh, so you're communicating like
721
00:38:17.460 --> 00:38:20.489
middle schoolers on top of it. Great. Two weeks before
722
00:38:20.550 --> 00:38:23.179
my wedding, my brother and Sarah secretly got married. While
723
00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:25.559
discussing it with my brother, he told me Sarah wanted
724
00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:28.219
to beat me to getting married because I didn't invite
725
00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:32.099
her to my bachelorette party and that it was common
726
00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:35.780
courtesy to invite her. Does the brother not recognize any
727
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:39.170
of the red flags here? That this woman that you
728
00:38:39.250 --> 00:38:44.090
are marrying is actively conducting a hostile takeover of your
729
00:38:44.230 --> 00:38:48.309
family and you are just idly by like a blind
730
00:38:48.489 --> 00:38:52.559
moron Standing there and watching it. What in the world?
731
00:38:54.219 --> 00:38:56.340
This is the first time this guy's gotten laid. This
732
00:38:56.380 --> 00:38:58.659
girl took his virginity and you know it. You know it.
733
00:38:58.659 --> 00:39:00.960
Because guys get a crumb of pussy for the first
734
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:03.030
time in their lives and they start acting like the
735
00:39:03.159 --> 00:39:06.429
biggest fucking morons on the planet. They just flush their
736
00:39:06.489 --> 00:39:09.949
brains down the toilet. All common sense, any sense of
737
00:39:10.010 --> 00:39:13.989
intuition just immediately gone the moment they get that first
738
00:39:14.030 --> 00:39:16.679
crumb of pussy. Because I explained that we had planned
739
00:39:16.699 --> 00:39:19.380
to invite her, but after everything that happened, we decided
740
00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:21.559
not to. He argued with me. Now, a month after
741
00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:24.829
that conversation, my brother is saying in our 30-person chat
742
00:39:25.329 --> 00:39:27.590
that it's my fault he's not around because I didn't
743
00:39:27.630 --> 00:39:31.260
invite his wife to my bachelorette party. Finally got mad
744
00:39:31.300 --> 00:39:33.179
and said she isn't entitled to be invited as it's
745
00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:35.000
my party and I can invite who I would like.
746
00:39:35.380 --> 00:39:37.340
He said all the girls were invited and several girls
747
00:39:37.380 --> 00:39:41.159
who weren't invited chimed in and said that they weren't
748
00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:43.599
and were fine. First off, why is there a 30
749
00:39:43.599 --> 00:39:47.710
person group chat? I think that's an unanswered question. Second off,
750
00:39:47.769 --> 00:39:50.469
it sounds like your brother and this psycho deserve each other.
751
00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:54.119
Let them have fun. Let them have fun. Odds are
752
00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:55.780
one of them is going to kill the other one
753
00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:57.699
and the trash is going to take itself out within
754
00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:00.519
the next five years. Who gives a crap? Let them
755
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:05.619
have fun. Because, yeah, there's so many things going on here. No,
756
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:09.530
you're not entitled to go on a bachelorette trip with
757
00:40:09.550 --> 00:40:14.010
somebody you barely know. You're evasive and shady around her.
758
00:40:14.460 --> 00:40:17.300
It's always awkward to travel with one person that nobody
759
00:40:17.460 --> 00:40:22.079
really knows because everyone feels obligated or even just hang
760
00:40:22.139 --> 00:40:25.280
out with them. Everyone feels obligated to check in on
761
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:27.920
that person and make sure they're having a good time
762
00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:30.239
and they don't feel left out. I think a little
763
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:32.699
discomfort is a good thing. I think people should feel
764
00:40:32.739 --> 00:40:36.159
left out. I think that's a positive thing if you
765
00:40:36.179 --> 00:40:38.280
feel left out when you're hanging out with a bunch
766
00:40:38.300 --> 00:40:40.619
of people. I think a little discomfort goes a long way.
767
00:40:41.500 --> 00:40:43.500
And people aren't used to feeling it in this country,
768
00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:45.159
and that's why we have so many problems. That's why
769
00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:48.719
we have idiots who need to bring an iced latte
770
00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:50.920
to a job interview and suck on it like a
771
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:53.929
pacifier the entire time. Okay, do you want to add
772
00:40:53.969 --> 00:40:59.510
anything to this? No. Okay, perfect. That's been our show.
773
00:40:59.590 --> 00:41:01.409
If you've got a story you want to submit and
774
00:41:01.429 --> 00:41:04.150
you want me to react to, send it to calebsalvatore95
775
00:41:04.210 --> 00:41:07.000
at gmail.com. And if I use it on the show
776
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:09.420
and you give me your Venmo name, I will send
777
00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:12.420
you $ 5. That's right. You're a scam artist therapist. You know,
778
00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:14.380
when you go and spend hundreds, if not thousands of
779
00:41:14.420 --> 00:41:17.039
dollars to sit in a room while a Kamala Harris
780
00:41:17.059 --> 00:41:19.820
supporter listens to you, bitch, and tells you that all
781
00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:23.369
your problems are your fault because you're a white male. Yeah,
782
00:41:23.550 --> 00:41:26.530
they charge you for that. I'm the only person in town. Granted,
783
00:41:26.550 --> 00:41:28.630
I'm not a therapist, which means I'm actually qualified to
784
00:41:28.670 --> 00:41:31.369
help you. I'm the only person who's offering you help
785
00:41:31.469 --> 00:41:34.380
and to pay for your help. So send it in.
786
00:41:34.409 --> 00:41:37.989
CalebSalvatore95 at gmail.com with your Venmo. If I use it
787
00:41:38.030 --> 00:41:40.429
on the show, I'll send you five bucks. See you
788
00:41:40.449 --> 00:41:42.980
next week. Cheat on your taxes, not your spouse. Stay based.
