Reddit's CRAZIEST Plot Twist! 😱 Officially Unofficially #45

WEBVTT
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.400
At the end of today's Reddit special episode of Officially Unofficially, we're gonna be doing a pick A or B that's gonna split the room.
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:09.359
But first, Stumpy, you've got an AITA for us.
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:11.199
Giga Reddit episode.
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:12.720
People like the Reddit.
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:24.640
People enjoy a little dive into Reddit into what is ultimately probably a worse life than the one that you are living, or if you're living a shit life, into something that you can look at and say, at least it's not that bad.
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:26.960
Um, cool, cool, I've got a question for you.
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:27.600
Okay.
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:37.119
Am I the arsehole for telling my wife forget it and going out by myself for my birthday instead of going to her fancy dinner reservation?
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.920
This has been an ongoing issue and it came to a head yesterday.
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:43.439
My wife is a planner.
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.159
It's extremely hard for her to just go with the flow.
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:48.719
If we're gonna do something, she needs all the details.
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:50.799
Edit, she does have OCD.
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:52.240
I forgot to include that.
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.520
A while ago, she asked what I had to do for my birthday.
00:00:55.759 --> 00:01:00.560
I've been burnt out from work, so I told her I just want to go to a chain restaurant around here on my day.
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:02.079
Just a chill night out.
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:03.759
I don't want to get dressed up or anything.
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:05.280
She asked where and what time.
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:09.120
I told her I'll just pick a day off uh what I am feeling.
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.840
Maybe I want Olive Garden, or maybe want to get a Chinese takeout.
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:16.159
I expressed many times, I don't want to plan anything, and just go with the flow of the day.
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.400
Which is annoying, whether it's your birthday or not.
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.439
That's that's annoying to like you have to have a thing.
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:23.760
Yeah, if someone's saying, What are we doing on this day?
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:28.719
And you're like, Oh, I don't know, we might get a burger, we might get fries, especially if your wife's got OCD.
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:39.680
Yeah, there's a little bit of I appreciate it's my day, but we can meet halfway and say because what I don't want to do is have you rocking back and forth in the corner because you have OCD, and this sounds awful for that.
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:41.120
Ruining the vibe.
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.079
Um she was frustrated.
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:48.079
I was giving her an answer about where to eat, and I told her multiple times what I am feeling that day.
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.359
She asked if we needed reservations, and I told her no multiple times.
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.319
We will be walking on a Wednesday to a chain restaurant.
00:01:54.480 --> 00:02:04.079
She didn't know it was a Wednesday either, in fairness, because he's saying, I'll do it on one of the days, but then is she then also thinking, Well, uh, are we doing it on a weekend?
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:05.599
Therefore, do we need a reservation?
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:07.359
Are we doing it on this kind of day?
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:08.879
I get her point of view here.
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:10.240
Meanwhile so far.
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.879
Um But equally it's his birthday, so does he just get a priority?
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.400
I think that only goes so far.
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:20.159
Uh she asked if I wanted anything fancy, and I told her no.
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:21.759
I just wanted a simple night.
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:23.199
Yesterday was the issue.
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:24.800
I wanted Olive Garden.
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.680
Go home, get some breadsticks, and chill for the rest of the night.
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.319
I get home around five, my wife's all dressed up.
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:36.080
I asked why, and she said she made reservations for the fancy sushi place in the city.
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:40.319
She said it was a surprise and that we need to leave in about 20 minutes.
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.639
Nothing has sounded so unappealing to me in my life.
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.879
I told her I wanted to go to Olive Garden.
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.080
We got into an argument about how she spent all this effort to get a reservation.
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.639
I told her I don't want any of this.
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.280
In the end, I left to go to Olive Garden by myself.
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.639
We got into another argument after I came back.
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.680
So the first thing, I also got the tag, right?
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:03.360
And the tag is not the a-hole.
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:03.599
Okay.
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:08.319
Which I would say this is one of those great situations where everyone is.
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:09.680
Because he sounds annoying.
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:14.240
If she's saying, okay, I really want to know, I really want to know what we're doing, also I've got OCD, by the way.
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.599
It's it's it's a medical condition that I've been diagnosed.
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.439
I'm not making it up, you know, it's not so diagnosed.
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:20.319
Yeah.
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:20.800
Exactly.
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.039
I am medically a pussy, absolutely.
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:23.759
Right?
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:28.479
Just if you could just tell me what you might want, direction, something like that.
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.719
That would really help me not obsess over this for the next five days.
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:33.520
Yeah.
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.240
However, that then doesn't give her the right to go, no, we'll do sushi.
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:38.639
I've decided.
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:40.639
Yeah, to then fuck you up.
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:41.680
Because that's unfair.
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:42.879
Like, it's his birthday.
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.159
He should get the priority of what they do on the birthday.
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.039
Um he should have chosen, I agree.
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:49.520
Yeah.
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:54.240
But you need to just a little bit say that.
00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:01.599
Okay, I appreciate you need to just even just to plan your meals for the week, it's helpful to know one what night you're gonna be out.
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:06.319
He says, on, you know, the week before, on the Sunday, he says, okay, on Wednesday, we should go out.
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:07.520
Let's just do Olive Garden.
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:08.159
I want to do that.
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:09.120
Come home, watch a film.
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:10.080
That sounds lovely to me.
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:10.719
Yeah.
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:11.759
Amazing.
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:12.479
That's great.
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.879
He hasn't communicated that particularly well.
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:15.840
Not at all.
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.800
But she's gone completely against what he wanted.
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:22.720
She's rebelled against him, is what it seems like.
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:29.920
It seems like she has said, Well, if you're not gonna say, then I'll completely do the opposite of what you wanted, which is not the point.
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:30.480
Yeah.
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:31.600
You know, darling.
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:33.680
That's not the point I'm trying to make in defending you.
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:35.680
So I'd say everyone here sucks.
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.000
I think they're both dickheads in their own way.
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.519
Uh, dickheads doesn't agree.
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:42.959
Not the arsehole.
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.240
Your wife didn't spend the effort for you, she spent it for herself.
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:47.519
I agree with that.
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.879
She knows that, she's as mad she didn't get her way.
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:51.839
Her way.
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.160
That's so that's such a weird phrasing.
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.480
Because uh She is 10,000% in the wrong.
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:07.920
Right, sorry, numerous underscore spend 8002 knows fully well that she's OCD, and saying that she's 10,000%, that's gonna get her.
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.439
She's rocking back and forward in the corner again, bless her heart.
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:18.959
But she should also have some wherewithal to then think, okay, he doesn't want that.
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:20.399
He doesn't want that.
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:26.480
Like, I'd be really annoyed if on my birthday, I like a chill birthday, I'm not a big birthday kind of person.
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:32.879
I'm a I would like to go out with some friends to a restaurant and hang out, get some drinks, and then I would like to go home.
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:34.560
I don't want to do a big thing.
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:39.120
If then, you know, uh my wife ended up booking this.
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.759
Oh no, but that's different, because I always want fancy food.
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:43.279
Uh, what don't I like doing?
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:43.600
Going.
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:44.639
That's not true.
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:46.399
No, you like scum food like the rest of us.
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:47.199
No, no, that's fair.
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.560
No, so when I say I always like it as a celebration, I didn't include that bit.
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:51.279
I see.
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:58.480
I would always be up for getting fancy food if that was um an option and it suited the moment or whatever.
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:06.480
If it was like a social thing, if she said, Oh yeah, no, yeah, we should go out clubbing, and I'm like, I don't really want to do that.
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:21.839
I'd like to go to like a pub or a bar, and I'd like to be chill, and I'd like to just hang out with you, then and then she then books us table service, bottle service at a at a bar, and then there's like uh women holding the massive champagne with the sparkler.
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:23.439
That would be fucking horrendous.
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.360
That sounds like an awful evening.
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:29.759
But again, I I'm I'm so much more, it seems, on the wife's side than anybody else.
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:35.120
And uh, as our uh virtual audience are saying, yes, it wasn't edited about the OCD thing, and also that's not how OCD works back and forth.
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:36.160
I'm being facetious.
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:41.759
However, the fact that the poster of this, the OP, thought to mention it, implies that it is a factor in her mind.
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:46.000
However, her OCD presents clearly is in a way that makes this a bother to her.
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.879
I don't know the ins and outs of her specific OCD.
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:55.439
Um However, if I'm if if it's if it if it's your birthday summer, say we're flatmates, right?
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:55.759
We're mates.
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:57.600
Okay, hey, it's 2026.
00:06:58.240 --> 00:06:58.879
Say we're married.
00:06:58.959 --> 00:06:59.759
Say we're married, right?
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:01.920
No, because we're married.
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.000
And you're we're not that modern.
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:04.720
We're not that modern.
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.279
And and and all week I'm saying, okay, it's about to end the week.
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:08.720
What do you what sort of thing do you fancy doing?
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:10.800
Do you fancy like a night out or a night in?
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:11.920
Are we gonna cinema?
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:13.439
Are we gonna go to a zoo out?
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.959
Right, but it's just that I've got to plan my day.
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.040
You know, I've got to have a manicure the day before.
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:20.879
Like, should I get that new dress I'm thinking of?
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:26.240
I'd love to know just ahead of it that's tell me exactly where we're going, but just some semblance of the style or type or category.
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:27.600
Yeah, no, no, I I get you.
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:29.120
I think we'll figure it out.
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:30.879
That's annoying, isn't it?
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:31.600
It's really annoying.
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.279
That's completely non-committing as shit, and I think he's really fucking annoying for that.
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.480
And I'm not on his side, and I'm not on her side.
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:39.680
They both fucked it.
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:44.240
They just need to ultimately, as it is within any relationship, fucking talk.
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:45.920
Just fucking chat to each other.
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:46.319
My God.
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.079
And yeah, everyone is saying not the else.
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:52.800
So we got into an argument about how she spent all this effort to get a reservation, all this effort, she made a phone call.
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:54.079
I don't know that.
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:55.759
You said, yeah, exactly.
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:00.000
But but again, she shouldn't have gone to all that effort for something he didn't want to do.
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:07.040
But it seemed to me like she was so desperate for just something to happen, she was like, fine, I'll sort it then, because my husband's a dickhead.
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.120
And also, maybe they are, you know, constantly working.
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.279
Maybe they never get to spend any time with each other, and she's overcorrected.
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:22.959
She's overcorrected because he just sits in this man cave playing, you know, Rocket League all day, and that's really fucking annoying to her.
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:32.399
And she, without saying something to him, does the wrong thing, the wrong band-aid on the situation, and over-corrects to then do something fancy.
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.360
Where actually they could have just done Olive Garden and just had unlimited breadsticks.
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:36.639
Oh, breadsticks are good.
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:40.639
Well, let us know if you are in our virtual audience or if you're in the YouTube comments down there.
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:46.000
And if you are watching this on YouTube or Spotify as well, make sure you drop a like, drop five stars, all that shit.
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.799
If you think that the OP is in the wrong, hit one.
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.720
If you think the wife's in the wrong, hit two.
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.320
And if you think they're all awful, hit number three in the chat.
00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:03.039
Because this is the beginning, Stumpy, of episode 45 of officially ONU! The best podcast on the internet.
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:04.399
It's only getting better.
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.840
Oh, the jingle's gonna sound so good after.
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:17.679
It's only getting better.
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.639
It's gonna sound so good over that.
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:22.960
Yeah, I think she's a dumb bitch.
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:29.679
I think as a as an official opinion of this podcast, I think she's a dumb bitch.
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:31.679
That's all I would say.
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:33.360
I've got I've got another one.
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:34.559
Are you ready for something a little bit?
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:36.000
Mega Reddit episode.
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.320
I do like mega reddit episodes.
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:39.519
Mega Reddit.
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:40.879
People just love the Reddit.
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:41.840
They do, I do.
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.960
I can see people in our virtual audience saying they're sad they missed the first story.
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:46.879
Don't worry, there is so much more to come.
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:53.840
We have got number two, which is would I be the asshole for suing my friend when she didn't come to my wedding?
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.919
Now, her first thought is yes, you probably would.
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.120
However, once again, the tagline is not the a-hole.
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:06.960
So I'm so intrigued how you go from that headline to yeah, no fair, definitely sue.
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:07.840
You know what?
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:10.159
Yeah, sue her for not going.
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:10.720
Okay.
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:18.559
So my guess would be it's some like big destination wedding, and they're you know, paid uh$2,000 per person to attend.
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:20.399
These people are also definitely American.
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.039
Um for these people to attend.
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:27.679
That would be my guess, and therefore she hasn't held it up, she's not gone, and therefore she has fucked it.
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:28.799
But let's see.
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:36.720
I, 25 female, recently got married to my 25 male husband in Bali, Indonesia, in January.
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:38.320
It was a destination wedding.
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:39.279
That's what you said.
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.120
But my parents and his parents paid for their own plane tickets and hotel.
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.000
But we paid for our friends' plane tickets and hotel stays.
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:53.919
Each plane ticket was about$2,000 and hotel was maybe about$150 to$300 for a week, which is so incredibly cheap.
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:55.759
Definitely go to Indonesia slash Malaysia.
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:56.320
I love the place.
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:57.039
Yeah, I know.
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:03.360
My friend, so that they've paid about what four, five thousand bucks for travel for their two mates in total.
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.519
Maybe four and a half thousand bucks to pay for it.
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.600
I don't know, because they they I guess for a destination wedding, you say, look, we're going here.
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:22.080
If you're rich and your friends are poor, but you want them there and you also want them to be there and you also want a destination wedding, I get saying, look, you can you can pay us back over ten years, you know, some token thing to not make them feel like they own uh owe you.
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:25.519
If you're rich and they're poor, why are you friends with them?
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:27.440
That's what you say.
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:29.200
I don't understand that concept.
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:34.639
I only um friends with people who have a greater financial standing than myself.
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:41.279
My friend Gemma brought along her newlywed husband, John, along, but paid for his plane ticket.
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:42.480
Oh, paid for his plane ticket.
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:42.799
Okay.
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.639
The problem is that Gemma and John did not show up to my wedding.
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:48.320
Gemma, oh, I see.
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.399
Gemma took the free plane ticket to Bali and the hotel room.
00:11:52.559 --> 00:12:08.000
And when I asked her why she didn't show up, she said that since they couldn't afford their own honeymoon, that this was a perfect opportunity, and that Jim decided, oh, also, by the way, Jim decided he didn't feel like going.
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:09.759
What the fuck?
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:14.960
I was really hurt by this since Gemma and I have been friends for over ten years.
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:20.399
Would I be the arsehole if I took her to small claims court for the money I spent on the plain ticket and hotel?
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:23.440
That is that's cru.
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.840
Some people are out here living lives, man.
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:36.559
To even come to that decision of we're gonna have our friends pay for our honeymoon.
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:45.360
We're gonna go to what would ultimately also be in a hotel where they're also staying, or other guests are staying, and just fuck it off and go to Bali.
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.240
That's mental and be like, yeah, yeah, we'll come along, yeah.
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.399
RSVP, yeah, nah, we decided against it.
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:52.720
It's the fact that I was sad that Gemma didn't come.
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:54.080
It's not that she said no.
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:57.120
It seems like they were expecting her until the final day.
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:01.120
Because I bet they knew that they would have cancelled their ticket.
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:07.919
They would have said, Well, yeah, if you're therefore not gonna come to our wedding, we're going to refund your ticket and get like half back of the cost of whatever it was.
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:11.519
So that is the most That's outrageous.
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:15.279
I can't believe Gemma.
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.440
I I I could not see where this was going.
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:19.519
The twist, the plot twist, there are updates.
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:20.559
Now there's about 18.
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.759
I won't read them all because actually, scrolling down, this one's way bigger than I realized.
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:25.759
Uh, but I'd like to do update one at least.
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:26.080
Okay.
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:26.960
I've not read this yet.
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:27.440
Let's see.
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:28.159
Update.
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:33.039
I messaged Gemma per multiple comments, advising me to invoice her for the plane ticket and hotel ballot.
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:34.879
But I but I did something a little better.
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:36.000
I wanted to get proof.
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.639
So if I had to go to court, it would be easier to win.
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:40.000
I messaged her this.
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:43.519
Hey, sorry for being so distant, but I just wanted to talk to you about Barley.
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:45.519
I'm hurt that you didn't show up to the ceremony.
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:49.919
I pulled a lot of strings to ensure that you could come and that you didn't and then you didn't show up.
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.879
Did you think I paid for the trip just so you could honeymoon with John?
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:54.159
She replied.
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.600
But she replied, let's see, maybe we then switch back.
00:13:57.679 --> 00:13:58.320
Who knows at this point?
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:13.360
She replied, I've missed you a lot, and I know the trip was for your wedding, but John didn't want to go, BC, because he felt like your wedding ruined the illusion of the trip being our honeymoon and that you'd understand.
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.039
I replied, No, I don't understand.
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:22.159
You took advantage of me.
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.159
No, I don't understand that.
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:29.200
It would ruin the ill What illusion?
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:30.720
No, I don't understand.
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.600
You took advantage of me, and that's not what real friends do.
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:42.080
So I'm sending an invoice to you for$2,387.53 for the cost of the plane ticket and hotel room.
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:47.200
I will give you 30 days, and after that, I will be taking legal action.
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:55.840
I received no response, but she's been posting subliminal quotes on Instagram that are along the lines of entitled friends and having snakes in your life.
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:58.000
Thank you for all your verdicts and help.
00:14:58.240 --> 00:14:59.519
She lives in the nest.
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:01.279
Of course there's snakes around her.
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.519
She's the snake, it's her tail.
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:04.639
Oh my god.
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:07.519
That is unreal.
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:17.519
So her husband said, Well, look, we're gonna go on this trip to Indonesia, but that wedding's really bringing me down.
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:22.159
I don't really fancy that because it's gonna ruin the illusion of our honeymoon.
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:25.759
I mean, they are famously two-long weddings, so I I totally get John's point there.
00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:29.679
Two hours would be a great length of time, but that's a separate discussion.
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:31.519
So, how long your wedding's gonna be?
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:33.840
Half an hour, in and out, do you know what I mean?
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:35.279
Just a little in and out.
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:36.799
In and out, in and out, jobby.
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:38.720
No, my wedding would be wonderful, I'm sure.
00:15:38.960 --> 00:16:01.600
But I mean, like, you know, if I was in a vacuum, I'm sure my vacuum, my wedding would be very different were I to exist in a vacuum and be marrying myself, to were I to be marrying my beloved, who I'm sure would have very different opinions to me, and that's totally fine because it seems that I'm not you know that my hopefully potential future wife is in the chat right now, so you're trying to get me sorry in the virtual audience right now.
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:01.840
Yeah.
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:02.960
So I know you're trying to get me into chat.
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:06.559
I've literally picked you up on this.
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:11.200
No, I like it, because it's a it's a recording, because we're here on stage recording this podcast episode.
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:12.799
It's not a stream, it's a podcast episode.
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:13.360
That's true.
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:18.320
And if you guys want uh an episode of OU Live at some point, you'll probably be next year, right?
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:21.039
Is that is that yeah, that would be a big 2027.
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:34.399
I've always said, even if it's just you and me and like 30 people in a room, including friends and family, that we've begged to pay 30k for a ticket, but like we are there on uh like a little desk or whatever with people in front of us.
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:36.080
Yeah, I'd love to do that next year.
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:37.919
That'd be fun.
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:39.360
I'd like it.
00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:45.279
Uh I would say with this situation, she's not wrong.
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:51.600
Like somehow, this woman who is suing a guest for not coming to their wedding is not wrong.
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:53.279
I'd love to know more updates though.
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:54.799
How long is each update?
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.240
Are they quite lengthy?
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:59.360
Uh there's there's one more, and it's not long at all.
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:00.639
There's one more update.
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:05.759
I'm I'm happy to dive into this one and just see how mental it truly can become.
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:06.559
Okay, okay.
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:12.880
The reason I'm pushing this as well is because update two starts with I didn't think this could get worse, but here we are.
00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:13.839
I've been hooked.
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.839
I've been TikTok hooked ready.
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:18.880
Okay, come on.
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:19.920
Oh my god.
00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:28.000
I didn't respond to any of the subliminal messages she posted about me on social media, and I've been very quiet while I've been getting my ducks in a row for the litigation.
00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:30.079
But this past Friday.
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:34.319
This past Friday, she's sorry.
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:35.680
Okay, okay, okay.
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:36.640
This past Friday.
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:44.720
This past Friday, she sent me a three-page audit of financial and emotional contributions from 2015 to present.
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:48.240
Is she charging for her time?
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:53.039
As a friend, yes, because this is this was made in 206, uh, 26, 2026.
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:55.200
So this is over the last 11 years.
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:57.119
I wish I was fucking joking.
00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:58.160
Audits.
00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:01.920
She itemized every dinner or lunch we've ever eaten together.
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:03.920
She estimated$18 per meal.
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:07.839
Which is actually what an organization cost.
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:09.039
Very reasonable.
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:10.000
18 bucks.
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:11.920
No, no, but no, that's not for the food.
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.359
Because she didn't say that's just the organization cost.
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:25.119
She's saying it costs me for my time eighteen dollars to and if we go back to the previous post, it's just a fucking phone call to organise a dinner anyway.
00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:26.240
True.
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.000
Uh gas money for driving to and from hangouts.
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:31.200
Okay.
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:40.799
A birthday gift from 2017 that she now claims she went into debt for, time spent emotionally supporting me after my dad passed.
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:44.000
Is she charging therapy rates?
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:52.079
She said she took on the role of a grief counsellor for me, even though I talked to her on the phone about it once for 30 minutes.
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.799
Well, yeah, but if you if you're on the phone for 30 minutes, you have to charge for the hour.
00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:58.960
Again, very reasonable.
00:18:59.279 --> 00:18:59.920
Very reasonable.
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:02.400
Again, Gemma's winning us back.
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:02.960
Yeah.
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:06.319
One time she helped me move apartments.
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:08.240
She wants to be paid for her labour.
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:14.880
Holy fuck! I aspire to be Gemma! This is brilliant.
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:19.680
And and this one I feel threatens the entire integrity of our whole legal system.
00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:23.359
Emotional distress caused by me threatening litigation.
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:26.240
Okay, and what's she charging for that?
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:27.519
Her grand total?
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:29.039
Glad you are stumpy.
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:29.599
Her grand total?
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:32.160
2,380, whatever it was.
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:34.640
It's$2,412.09.
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:38.240
Conveniently within$25 of what I invoiced her.
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:44.319
She then told me that if we're really keeping score, that I actually owe her$24.56.
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:46.960
I rest my case, Your Honor.
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:51.680
Holy fucking shit.
00:19:52.480 --> 00:20:04.160
So is she also then saying that the the uh OP has never provided her with any emotional help, with this, with that, that is also an invoiceable amount?
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:05.839
It would it would seem.
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:17.759
It would seem that this only goes one way, which is why I think I stared at the document for 10 minutes in silence, in shock from the audacity, because this bitch, this bitch is delusional.
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.799
To clarify, I never asked her to cook for me while I was in college.
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:27.759
She did pay for lunches, but when I definitely returned the favor big time once I graduated, basically tit for tat over the course of a friendship.
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:40.960
We've said this before in various friend groups, as I'm sure people listening have got, you will have bought a round of drinks, and then that night no one else buys a round, but then the next time you go out, someone else buys you a drink.
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:46.640
People will owe each other various things, and that kind of makes up the webs and the fabric of society.
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:53.920
Me and my mate Arthur, we always like God knows how many times we've passed the ball between like just like I'll get this meal, I'll get this drink.
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:54.240
Do you know?
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:55.359
I mean, we're always getting each other around.
00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:57.359
It's a lovely thing.
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:04.720
When you find your sort of like forever mate that you share that with, like I do that with all my mates, but there's one mate in particular where like, oh, I'll get this one, you get that one, right?
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:05.440
And we always have.
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:07.119
Literally, like it's a lovely thing.
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.240
It's just easier not to worry about paying somebody.
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:15.279
Like, we've done that before, like with some of my friends, where I'm just like, uh, well, okay, we're getting pizza.
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:16.559
So we're like sharing a large pizza.
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:18.319
I'm like, I'll just buy it.
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:19.920
I'm not gonna, I don't care.
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:23.039
Like, at some point they'll buy me a thing, and that's okay.
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:24.480
That that's all good.
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:29.839
That is there like a final update to this.
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:32.240
There there there actually is, and it says final update.
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:33.839
It's about as long as a whole separate post.
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:38.000
Uh, just before that, there's one more final bit of the update because uh we get the win overall.
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:40.799
Uh I decided to give the message a thumbs down.
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:42.720
That's funny.
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:45.519
Just no, no, we're not doing that.
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:51.200
What she should do on all these snakey posts, she should see how long it is for the 30 days to be up.
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:56.799
And just comment on there 24 days, 22 days, 19 days.
00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:58.079
The net 30.
00:21:58.400 --> 00:21:59.599
Just have it, just the net 30.
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:01.279
Counting down.
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:06.079
I cannot believe that's a real human.
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:06.960
Okay, update.
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:08.000
Have you got the final one?
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:08.799
Do you want it?
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:10.240
It's it's another full story, basically.
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:10.799
Fine.
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:11.839
I love this story.
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:13.839
Buckle up, everybody.
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:15.839
Final update.
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:18.079
Sorry that I haven't updated in a while.
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:21.039
I've been trying to get my ducks in a row before I proceeded with everything.
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:29.759
While doing that, I was going through photos from Barley and ended up on the Instagram page of a local photographer who took pictures of me and my husband during a sailing excursion we went on.
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:35.680
I was scrolling through their page and looking at random groups when I saw a very familiar face.
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:38.559
Oh no, there's more, there's more, but there's more.
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:41.119
Did they go on a sailing excursion?
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:42.799
It was Gemma and a man.
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:44.480
And it wasn't.
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:52.720
It was a I had never seen before.
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:54.960
There were multiple photos.
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:59.839
One where they were just sitting down with drinks, one with Gemma and the guy wrapping his arm around her.
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:02.079
And one of them kissing.
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:05.759
That's when everything clicked.
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:09.680
My wedding was the day after everyone landed, which is why I never saw her at all.
00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:12.559
Not at the hotel, not around town, nothing.
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:18.079
I just assumed that she was trying to lie low around town to avoid a confrontation a confrontation with me.
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:23.839
She didn't skip my wedding because John didn't feel like going, or that my wedding ruined the illusion of the trip being their honeymoon.
00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:28.400
She skipped it because she wasn't there with John, but with another man.
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:36.319
After seeing this photo of her and her affair partner, I decided to go do my own detective work.
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:42.079
I went to her Instagram page and tried to see if I could find the guy's Instagram page in her following list or follower list.
00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:42.799
Nada.
00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:48.720
I tried to see if any guy that remotely looked like him was in her likes or comments.
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:49.359
Nope.
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:57.599
I felt defeated until I remembered about Gemma's small pottery Instagram account, and boom, I found him.
00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:00.400
Let's say his name is Ryan.
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:04.079
Ryan had several photos that were taken in Bali on his page.
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:08.799
He even had a photo of himself in the hotel room that I paid for.
00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:10.480
Oh my fucking God.
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:13.920
Do we think Gemma told Ryan that this was all paid for?
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:15.119
Probably.
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:17.200
Well, she was also with John.
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:23.039
I was beyond pissed and just wanted to get my money back and just be done with Gemma altogether.
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:25.440
On the day of our court date, I told my side.
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:26.160
Oh, so it's happened.
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:26.880
The court date happened.
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:27.039
Okay.
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:33.519
I told my side, showed the judge the text messages, and explained that I paid for her trip so she could attend my wedding and she didn't show up.
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:38.880
Gemma claimed the trip was a gift for her new marriage and not contingent on attending.
00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:40.240
What?
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:45.920
Even though every communication, I'm sure, said it's to come to my wedding.
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:48.400
I didn't even have to bring up the fact that she didn't bring John.
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:50.319
Oh, so John wasn't- I sorry, I misunderstood that.
00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:52.799
I thought John was there, but not like she also brought another guy.
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:53.119
Yeah.
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:56.240
But she didn't bring John because the judge didn't buy Gemma's story.
00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:58.079
I was awarded the full amount back.
00:24:58.319 --> 00:25:00.799
Gemma walked out the courtroom without even looking at me.
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:04.960
I know she was pissed, and as expected, she went straight to Instagram.
00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:07.359
And this time she didn't hold back at all.
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:08.000
Okay.
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:12.960
She started posting about me on her story, calling me a bitch, saying that's why I can't have kids.
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:14.000
What?
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:17.279
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Gemma.
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:19.680
Gemma.
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:22.559
That's a bit nuts.
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:26.720
Saying that's why so the wording is that's why I've can't have kids.
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.240
I don't know if that's saying that's why you never had them.
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:35.039
I think saying that's why you're so much of a bitch that you can't have kids.
00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:36.960
You're barren, you're a big barren bitch.
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:39.680
You're so much of a bitch, you're barren.
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:42.640
You're barren to the point of being a bitch.
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:44.720
You're bitchy to the point of being barren.
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:46.000
You have all the bees.
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:47.119
Brutal.
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:53.920
Saying call posting photos of me calling me fat, saying that she'll go spit on the grave of my dead grandmother.
00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:56.559
What the how are you putting this on your story?
00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:58.720
And thinking this it went over the masses.
00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:00.799
Just diabolical mean girl stuff.
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.000
The last time she brought our drama to social media, I ignored it.
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:04.880
But not this time.
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:07.039
I know what I d Okay, alright.
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:10.960
I know what I did next was stooping to her level, but I didn't care.
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:11.519
Okay.
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:16.880
I posted the photo of her kissing Ryan on my story and tagged her and Jonathan.
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:19.039
I captioned it.
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:20.880
Sorry, we missed you in Bali.
00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:22.160
Hope you had fun.
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:24.960
Within minutes she began spamming my phone.
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:28.240
She was calling, texting, leaving voicemails, screaming at me.
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:31.599
And before I blocked her and everything, I messaged her one last time.
00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:34.000
I said, I wish I had some shades.
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:34.400
Okay.
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:36.480
You should have just come to the wedding.
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:41.039
Baaaaaaang! Holy Dug.
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:43.599
That is That's a Guy Ritchie film, isn't it?
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:47.680
I cannot believe what some people are.
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:50.160
That is crazy.
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:55.920
I mean, that's a great story.
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:57.680
That's a great story.
00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:04.160
And I'd like to make sure that that's as far as we go when it comes to analysing the legitimacy of that story.
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:06.240
I think we need to make.
00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:07.119
That's true.
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:08.160
You gotta believe it.
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:08.799
You gotta believe it.
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:09.759
You gotta play along.
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:13.119
Otherwise, all of a sudden we're on R Sash, nothing ever happens.
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:14.079
That's true.
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:21.839
We can look too deep into things and we can that is absolutely horrendous.
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:43.359
The fact that there's an amount of people as well, that no matter how much of that story is real, that like that is a situation that I can see some people doing where they're so unaware of their own like actions and the impact their actions have that they would be that selfish.
00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:46.480
That is what I mean, gr well written, very interesting.
00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:47.920
I enjoyed that was very nice.
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:48.480
That was good.
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:49.519
That's that's yeah.
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:52.319
My name is Mega Reddit episode is excellent.
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:53.039
Definitely.
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:59.759
There's there's a great point in the chat saying that um the person should have messaged, and this is like a general case you ever find sort of someone cheating or whatever.
00:27:59.920 --> 00:28:09.680
Definitely message the the person first as opposed to putting it publicly and sort of going, ha, I'm gonna get the wife back by saying she's cheated on the dickhead husband.
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:10.160
Ha ha.
00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:12.480
Because that's you know the husband then getting hurt as well.
00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:15.920
He did become a little bit like fodder there, didn't he?
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:19.279
He definitely like became John, John Fodder.
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:20.640
John, John Fodd.
00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:25.680
So then I I'd message him and just say, just a heads up, J Dog, J Town.
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.920
Um Big J.
00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:28.799
Big J.
00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:30.160
Um Big Bar and Big Dog.
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:31.200
I wasn't known at you.
00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:32.720
I did think it was you the whole time.
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:33.839
Turns out it wasn't.
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:34.400
Yeah.
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:45.920
Um the uh the the the thought that he would then find out through social media and is then like, hmm, that's not me.
00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:48.400
That's I don't remember going to Bali.
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:51.119
How does your wife go to Bali without you knowing?
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:52.960
Why am I to find out?
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:54.960
What does that mean?
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:59.759
You just said you said that, but I don't know why you said that.
00:28:59.920 --> 00:29:01.039
Why did you say that?
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:02.319
Uh why did I say that?
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:04.079
Because I guess I want to see.
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:09.680
I would like to see Anna find a way to go to Bali without you knowing.
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:14.000
Uh that woman can't breathe in this house without me knowing.
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:15.759
Okay, that's cool, bro.
00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:18.240
The cameras and the breath sensors.
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:20.400
Oh, the breath sensors, I do forget about those.
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:23.599
Okay, guys, yeah, it's it's not uh it's not abusive if there's breath sensors.
00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:24.240
Yes, exactly.
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:28.559
So um one in chat if you think sorry, one in the virtual audience.
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:30.880
One in the chat, man.
00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:32.480
Not me.
00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:33.920
Can I have anything fun?
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:34.319
Can I?
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:38.400
One in chat, if you think that uh Gemma's in the wrong.
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:43.359
And uh while the chat will spam their ones, stumpy, do you want to move on to the next one?
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:47.200
Yeah, this one uh that you've that you've cultivated for us is a little would you rather?
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:52.240
It's a fun little would you rather little sidescape past would you rather avenue?
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:54.799
A little um uh would you rather sorbet?
00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:59.519
Would you rather would you rather have one million dollars right now?
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:00.400
I'll make it pounds.
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:03.680
Would you rather have one million pounds right now?
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:07.200
Pounds.
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:09.920
One billion sorry, one million bounds.
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:11.440
Would you rather start stuck?
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.519
Would you rather You're just thinking about edging this into a short, aren't you?
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:16.240
No, of course not.
00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:19.119
No, no, no, there's no reason I would just love you to fucking say it cleanly.
00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:20.000
No reason at all.
00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:24.720
Would you bother both one million bounds right now?
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:32.000
Or one billion bounds if you don't speak a word for one year.
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:35.519
What a question you've posited.
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:38.559
What a question you've posited, too.
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:39.440
One million bonds.
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:46.319
Um I don't think that I could not speak for a year.
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:47.279
Really?
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:49.519
I'm very confident.
00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:51.920
Because for a billion quid.
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:54.240
I'm not saying I wouldn't want to.
00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:56.720
I'd want to not speak for a year.
00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:57.759
That seems great.
00:30:58.400 --> 00:31:00.400
But like, sleep talk doesn't count.
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:02.319
Let's let's get this out, let's get the ground rules out of the way first.
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:04.799
Sleep talk does not count because that's bullshit.
00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:06.160
Because I would talk then.
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:07.440
I would 100% talk then.
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:09.839
That's that's do you sleep talk?
00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:12.240
I don't think so, but probably at some point in my life.
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:18.079
I'm sure um Linnea in the chat in the virtual audience right now can confirm that there have been times where I have I have slept talked.
00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:22.880
Every night, yeah, maybe you've got the app and everything, haven't you?
00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:23.759
Yeah, I'll record.
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:25.599
Shall I see if we've got any any good news?
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:26.160
Yeah.
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:32.480
Did you ever um see a website called it was because there was one that was shit my dad says.
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:34.559
This is like pre-Reddit.
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:37.279
I mean, I'm sure Reddit existed, but pre-reddit being what it is today.
00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:38.720
One was shit my dad says.
00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:42.960
The other one was like, it was like Joe's sleep talking blog or something like that.
00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:43.440
Okay.
00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:44.559
Did you ever hear of that?
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:52.319
It was a wife, and our husband sleepwalked every night, and he said crazy, thoughtful things.
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:54.000
Oh, I'm gonna find out what this was called.
00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:55.039
Yeah, while you look for your one.
00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:57.440
I got headphones on, I tried to listen through my headphones.
00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:01.839
Old school internet sleepwalking blog.
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:04.079
Uh that sounds fun though.
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:05.599
That sounds like a fun little blog to have.
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:10.400
Sleep talking man, which became a massive internet sensation in okay, it wasn't before, right?
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:12.079
In January 2010.
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:12.640
Okay.
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:22.000
Because it is it's a blog spot.
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:23.519
A blog spot?
00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:24.160
Wow, wee.
00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:25.680
That's how old it was.
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:27.680
Let me see if I can find some sleep talking man's.
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:32.400
But yeah, she just posted um just stuff we've got to do.
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:34.799
Yeah.
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:37.599
Uh let's see if I can find it's all rewinded.
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:38.720
It's all got a bit weird.
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:52.559
The issue is that like because I put my phone next to my tablet when I'm sleeping, um, and like that's playing YouTube, a lot of it is just full of recordings of my YouTube videos, so I can't find anything right now.
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:54.559
Well, here are some sleep talking men.
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:56.880
Um I'm the fuck and this went absolutely violent.
00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:58.160
2010 was going mental for this.
00:32:58.240 --> 00:32:59.119
I can't remember this at all.
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:01.519
I'm the fucking center of the universe.
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:02.960
Everything revolves around me.
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:05.279
Astronomers can kiss my gorgeous ass.
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:08.000
That was nice.
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:09.279
Uh how am I?
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:10.000
How am I?
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:12.319
I'm in a fucking hospital and I don't work here.
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:13.839
Stupid question, how am I?
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:15.599
Scalpel, monkey.
00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:19.359
I'll fucking give you stitches.
00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:22.079
Oop, nope, you win, got me first.
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:26.720
Oh, that's nice.
00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:27.200
Yeah.
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:28.960
Cuff him, arrest him, I don't care.
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:30.799
That manatee is going down, etc.
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:32.319
Yeah, Google sleep talking man.
00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:32.880
Absolutely crazy.
00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:34.240
Well, he couldn't win it then.
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:36.559
He couldn't, he couldn't not speak for a year.
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:37.119
True.
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:42.319
But if you're saying sleep talking doesn't count, um, I would rather take the million now.
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:44.480
Because it says the genie makes the offer.
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:47.920
If you accept the one billion challenge, it starts immediately.
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:50.400
Words uttered while you're sleeping do not count.
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:52.559
Right slash time, whatever you want.
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:57.519
But if you say a single word out loud before the year is up, you get nothing.
00:33:57.680 --> 00:33:58.960
The genie is watching.
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:03.759
So you don't get to like reset the time and be like, oh fuck, okay, allow me to go for another year from here.
00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:07.680
It's January 1st to December 31st.
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:11.280
As soon as you say anything, the challenge is done.
00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:12.480
Yes.
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:17.840
And I I imagine that for our for our rules, it's not like if you do it half, you get half a billion.
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:21.599
It's either a million now or one billion cut off in a year's time.
00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:25.280
I would 100% no doubt go for the one million now.
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:26.800
That's crazy to me.
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:28.800
You don't have so much a billion is.
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:30.639
I'm not doubting the amount of money.
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:33.280
I'm doubting my ability to not talk for a year.
00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:34.880
It would be tough if you were like.
00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:37.519
So where it would be tough is if there was like a fire.
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:38.719
But then they've got to.
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:41.199
You say stuff accidentally all the time.
00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:41.920
Ow.
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:42.800
Does owl count?
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:43.519
Yeah, 100%.
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:46.239
Because that's you talking.
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:48.960
Say like when you're letting I I I realised I do this.
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:56.719
When I let somebody out, like, um, or like uh across the road or something, if I mouth like after you, I will also quietly whisper after you.
00:34:56.960 --> 00:34:58.159
I'll be like, oh, after you.
00:34:58.400 --> 00:34:58.800
Like that.
00:34:58.880 --> 00:34:59.519
Like Really?
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:01.599
I don't know why, but like that leg count.
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:14.320
And I think the amount of times that you talk without knowing that you've spoken, or like you move past someone, and you know, it's you know, you're four months in, you then go, Oh, excuse me.
00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:15.519
Or you know Imagine.
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:19.199
Or like somebody bumps into you, instinctually, you say, sorry.
00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:19.760
Yeah, yeah.
00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:23.840
I don't think anybody could not talk.
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:29.199
I a hundred percent think that I could not talk for a year for a billion pounds.
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:35.119
I'm like for that much money you-n't and let's assume for argument's sake, you can't do anything so I've got my voice box removed.
00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:35.840
Haha, I got you.
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:36.639
Like, there's no got you.
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:37.840
You just gotta do it.
00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:38.480
Yeah, I agree.
00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:44.079
I think I could do it, and I think my social battery would be recharged through the roof.
00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:48.800
When I finish, I'd be like, right, let's have a one-week jolly in Lands of Tolly.
00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:49.760
Bali, barley.
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:50.960
Let's go barley, exactly.
00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:52.719
Yeah, and spend$300 on a one-week podcast.
00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:53.519
Of course I could.
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:54.880
I genuinely think you could.
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:55.280
I don't know.
00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:56.159
This is a bit for the podcast.
00:35:56.239 --> 00:35:57.039
This is a bit for the podcast.
00:35:57.280 --> 00:35:58.800
No, I thought you were doing a bit for the podcast.
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:01.199
I thought you were doing the the alternate answer.
00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:02.400
No.
00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:05.599
100% you could not.
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:07.599
You could not not talk for a year.
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:08.639
No, I know what you mean.
00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:10.079
I I think that would be fairly easy.
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:13.119
I'd have to fairly easy and mental.
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:15.519
Yeah, it would be for a billion dollars.
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:18.559
I'm not saying that's not great to have a billion dollars.
00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:21.199
I'm not saying you realize how much I'm not gonna be able to do it.
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:24.079
I do realize how much money a billion dollars is.
00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:26.239
I just don't think I could do that.
00:36:26.480 --> 00:36:32.880
It's like saying it's like like, would you uh compete in the uh in an F1 race for a billion dollars?
00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:35.760
And it's like, oh yeah, but I don't think I can win.
00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:37.360
Like you wouldn't even finish a lap.
00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:39.280
Have you seen the Richard Hammond thing where he can't finish a lap?
00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:41.360
I wouldn't be able to get my tires warm enough.
00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:42.719
I I couldn't do that.
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:49.199
No, I think it would be so much harder than trying to finish an F1 lap.
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:54.800
It wouldn't! You'd have more chance of not talking for a year than finishing an F1 lab.
00:36:55.039 --> 00:36:55.679
You can do that.
00:36:56.239 --> 00:37:00.159
You're not an idea, you're a phone! No, that'd be so easy.
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:08.320
Where it would be sad, where it might be sad is if my grandma decides to die and she goes, like, oh darling, tell me one more time you love me.
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:15.920
And I'm looking at my watch and I'm like, Oh, if you can hold out another three weeks, I'm tapping, I'm going three weeks.
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:20.079
This, yeah, but then oh my god, you're crazy.
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:21.199
You don't believe this.
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:28.320
I have to refuse to think that you believe this to make me not think that you are mentally incapacitated.
00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:31.840
I I think it would be very comfortable.
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:36.000
I would like for you to go for the rest of the day.
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:37.280
How much are you paying me?
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:38.400
Without talking.
00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:39.519
How much are you paying me?
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:40.719
Just as a test.
00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:42.559
But I don't want it, I don't want to.
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:43.440
I don't want to not talk.
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:45.199
I'm not like, yeah, that sounds like great fun.
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:54.559
I'm saying that if there was a billion dollars on the line, I'd I'd contact my grandma, pounds on the line, I'd contact Granny, and I'd say, you know, final time I can say I love you.
00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:59.440
If you do die, know that I love you, but I'm not gonna be able to say it on your on your on the old bed.
00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:01.119
On the death E B, yeah.
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:02.880
On the old Death E B.
00:38:03.119 --> 00:38:06.480
Um, so I'll, you know, hopefully I'll chat with you in a year.
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:11.920
Do you think that you could this is crazy to me.
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:17.280
Virtual audience, I need you to back I need you to back me up here.
00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:25.519
Is it crazy that Cole is saying that he thinks he could go for a year without talking?
00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:27.519
That's obviously crazy.
00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:30.480
I think I think I could do a week for 20 grand.
00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:33.360
A week's a different matter.
00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:38.000
Okay, what would you what would you offer me as a test of a real amount of money to a real amount of time?
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:40.239
If I was just oh, I wouldn't.
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:42.480
Because I don't want to pay you any money.
00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:45.280
Which I'm not sure if you're just unhypothetical.
00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:46.239
It does a little bit.
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:50.960
I'm not saying from the the purse of subpar, of which, by the way, 20 grand ain't much in that bad boy.
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:52.559
Thanks any subs on YouTube.
00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:56.719
Please, no, we do need to sponsor and make some money back on this.
00:38:57.280 --> 00:38:57.920
Black hole.
00:38:58.639 --> 00:39:05.360
Um I I think just when you're walking around your house, do you talk to yourself in general?
00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:07.599
Um, not unknowingly.
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:10.800
So if I do it, I'm not like, oh, I didn't realise I was talking to myself.
00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:12.559
If I talk to myself, I made the decision.
00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:13.519
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:20.400
I'm like, then there's always I believe there is always uh a gap between my brain and my mouth.
00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:21.440
For better or for worse.
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:24.559
We've discussed this before on this podcast and previous ones.
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:25.360
That's all good, that's all good.
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:26.400
I'll just keep riffing.
00:39:26.559 --> 00:39:26.880
Yeah.
00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:27.360
Nice.
00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:30.800
Yeah, no, I was just saying how I I think that I'd, if anything, be more social.
00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:34.800
I mean, if I'm going out and I haven't got a talk, I'm just there soaking up the vibes.
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:35.920
I'm having a few drinks.
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:37.440
Actually, alcohol would be tough.
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:38.880
I probably would not drink alcohol.
00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:42.320
You'd go to the pub! You're telling me that you'd go to the pub.
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:43.679
Well, everyone knows it.
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:45.280
Yeah.
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:51.840
Why are you putting yourself in this situation where you still have to go to the pub?
00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:54.079
I'm not gonna isolate myself, that'd be mad.
00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:55.199
Yeah, I'd hang out with my mates.
00:39:56.639 --> 00:39:58.159
No, I'm just there going, you know.
00:40:03.360 --> 00:40:10.159
I think that if you put on, if you make any verbalization mother when you're gonna be like, how does that count?
00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:11.760
Of course it does, you're talking.
00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:13.920
Communicating using noise.
00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:15.519
There's no noise.
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:16.559
That's what I'm saying.
00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:17.599
If you verbalize.
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:19.280
Oh, I see, so it comes out.
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:20.159
Okay, I see what you're saying.
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:24.159
I couldn't hear because of the suppression of your microphone, but you're saying if I do it and a bit comes out, you lose.
00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:24.800
I agree with that.
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:28.719
But I'm saying that I would be able to mouth it without saying, oh, maybe I'd even not do that.
00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:30.079
I'd just use my hands.
00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:34.880
I think if you put even tape on your mouth, you would still forget.
00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:38.559
Because there's there's a guy on the top comment who says, I've been remembering.
00:40:41.199 --> 00:40:44.480
And I had to not talk for a week to enable it to heal properly.
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:51.039
It took 10 minutes out of the hospital to utter my first word when someone in the parking lot almost backed up into my car.
00:40:51.280 --> 00:40:55.280
Trust me, the amount of times you would slip is unbelievable.
00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:58.559
I even put tape in my mouth to remind me, and even that failed.
00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:01.519
You're gonna laugh at a joke or talk to yourself eventually.
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:05.519
You need a special helmet you could sleep with, and it would be a huge pain.
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:09.119
100 to 1 odds if it was serious about it would succeed.
00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:11.199
100 to 1.
00:41:11.280 --> 00:41:12.719
I would I would bat myself to be that one.
00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:12.960
I would.
00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:14.239
I would take the billion, 100%.
00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:18.400
You bump your elbow on a door and you go, ah well, you've lost.
00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:20.559
Yeah, ow's harsh, ow's, ow's tough.
00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:22.079
That would be the biggest blocker.
00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:23.360
That'd be the biggest blocker for me.
00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:26.320
Also, the alternative is a million pounds now.
00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:30.960
I would I would absolutely no doubt for a million pounds now.
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:32.880
Yeah, but what we'll do, we'll do it, okay.
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:34.079
Uh would you take this offer?
00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:35.840
You take between us, right?
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:37.920
It's a it's a it's a it's an OU offer.
00:41:38.079 --> 00:41:38.320
Okay.
00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:44.719
The genie offers you it and me it separately.
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:54.400
If I said to you, give me half the million if I lose, or I will and we have it written down in a contract, I will give you half my billion if I win.
00:41:55.199 --> 00:41:56.159
Would you take that deal?
00:41:56.320 --> 00:42:01.199
So you can swan about, and in a year's time, if I do this, you get half a billion quid.
00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:05.280
All you have to do to pu to buy in is half a million guaranteed.
00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:06.880
Hang on, I'm trying to think.
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:08.800
So if I do my well, I get my million.
00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:10.159
I I'm up one million regardless.
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:10.800
Top six.
00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:12.159
And you don't have to accept my offer.
00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:14.320
The genie is like, you can ignore him, stumpy.
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:15.119
It's a side bet.
00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:16.320
Yeah, exactly.
00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:25.440
Um so I'm basically either wasting 500 grand because I'm so convinced you can't do it, and I'm so convinced you cannot do it.
00:42:25.679 --> 00:42:33.119
Um or uh I spend half a million to gain half a billion.
00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:36.960
Uh yes, you are basically buying in for me to you're giving me insurance.
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:38.079
You're giving me the way insurance.
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:48.079
I'm getting 500 of your grand if I fail, but if I succeed, you get 500 million pounds in a as soon as it ticks over, and I only get 500.
00:42:48.559 --> 00:42:52.480
It makes more sense for me to buy in, for sure.
00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:53.760
Logically, it does.
00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:56.400
Emotionally, like fuck are you doing this?
00:42:56.800 --> 00:43:07.519
In not a single world are you able to not make a noise with your mouth for half a year for a year.
00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:09.519
That's obviously insane.
00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:11.760
You well, we've we've we've given our answers.
00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:12.880
I think you should take that bet in general.
00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:19.679
If anybody would take that bet, if anybody would give me that insurance if they were offered it alongside me, let us know, please, in the comments.
00:43:19.840 --> 00:43:21.840
But otherwise, Stumpy, that that's longer than I thought it would.
00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:22.239
I thought I couldn't.
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:24.480
I can't believe you're genuine about this.
00:43:24.719 --> 00:43:26.400
I think I think I could for a billion pounds.
00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:26.800
I think I could.
00:43:26.880 --> 00:43:27.039
I think.
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:30.800
You can say for a billion pounds, like I'm underestimating how much a billion pounds is.
00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:32.400
A million pounds, I know how much.
00:43:33.280 --> 00:43:33.920
Yeah, it's quite a lot.
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:34.480
It's quite a lot.
00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:38.400
Am I, Stumpy Goblin, the asshole?
00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:40.559
Yes, you can't do it.
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:47.119
Am I the asshole for telling my wife my mother is correct and she needed to be a parent today, and she fucked it up?
00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:52.320
I was waiting in the airport, and I need to know if I fucked up or not.
00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:56.000
This week, my daughter, she's in middle school, lost a classmate.
00:43:56.559 --> 00:43:59.760
My daughter has not taken it well, and overall, this is her first experience.
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:01.440
Experience of someone she knows dying.
00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:01.840
Okay.
00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:07.760
The whole class was excused from school today, and the funeral is happening right now, six months ago as we type.
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:08.719
Oh, crumbs.
00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:08.960
Okay.
00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:11.039
I unfortunately could not be there.
00:44:11.199 --> 00:44:14.320
I tried, but my pay time off was denied, and we cannot lose this job.
00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:15.119
American.
00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:19.280
I flew out of Wednesday night and I came and I'm coming back now.
00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:20.880
Our daughter is a mess.
00:44:21.039 --> 00:44:22.960
She was friends of the girl that passed away.
00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:23.199
Okay.
00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:28.800
The plan was for my wife, she's unemployed at the moment, to take her to the funeral or mass and just be there.
00:44:28.960 --> 00:44:29.280
Yeah.
00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:31.760
Don't even have to say anything for a billion pounds.
00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:34.159
Just be there for a billion.
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:35.440
How we ran.
00:44:36.079 --> 00:44:40.320
My wife is more spiritual than the average person and hates all things with the dead.
00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:43.920
Funerals, viewings, or view funerals, funeral viewings, and so on.
00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:46.719
Funerals, house viewings, the classic thing.
00:44:47.280 --> 00:44:50.480
This one is only a mass funeral, so no viewing.
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:51.840
Does that mean no dead body is visible?
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:55.199
Yeah, which I find is weird that you would ever see a dead body.
00:44:56.079 --> 00:44:58.400
I don't ever want to see a dead body of someone that I love.
00:44:58.719 --> 00:44:59.039
I'm good.
00:44:59.280 --> 00:44:59.760
Agreed.
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.280
She believes in ghosts and will avoid funerals like the plague.
00:45:03.440 --> 00:45:07.840
We discussed it on Wednesday, and she said she would take our kid and then go to the gravesite.
00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:08.320
Okay.
00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:12.159
I got a call from my daughter sobbing that she wasn't going to the funeral.
00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:14.239
My wife was refusing to take her.
00:45:14.400 --> 00:45:19.760
When I got her to answer my call, she told me she can't do it and she's scared to go.
00:45:20.079 --> 00:45:21.440
Oh fuck off.
00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:24.559
I called up my mum and asked her to pick up my daughter.
00:45:24.719 --> 00:45:29.119
So I called up my mum, her grandma, and asked her to pick up my daughter and take her to the funeral.
00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:31.039
My mum left work and took her.
00:45:31.199 --> 00:45:32.079
They're there now.
00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:36.480
Well from W Ghost and W grandma as well.
00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:41.280
I got a call from my wife after of her crying because my mum taught her a new one.
00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:48.000
The gist was my mum called her a bad parent, and that it is so fucked up that she couldn't take our kid to the funeral of a classmate.
00:45:48.159 --> 00:45:52.079
She wants me to make my mum apologize, and I told her my mum was right.
00:45:53.119 --> 00:45:58.800
That this was something our daughter needed, and she fucked up, that she wasn't acting like a parent because of her fear of the dead.
00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:01.280
All she needed to do was stay through masks.
00:46:01.599 --> 00:46:04.880
We got into a huge phone call argument, and she's calling me a huge dick.
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:13.199
My mum is apparently getting texts, also, and I told her to not let our daughter know that we are fighting, and if she could look after her for the day, she agreed.
00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:15.360
Wow.
00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:16.559
Yeah.
00:46:16.880 --> 00:46:21.920
So obviously, the wife is a fucking liability.
00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:22.320
Yeah.
00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:23.840
What an idiot.
00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:25.599
That is so stupid.
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:29.199
Even if they're saying that makes you wholly uncomfortable, right?
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:36.559
And you are, you know, your your kid is really into aquariums, but you're scared of eels, right?
00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:39.280
As the old saying goes.
00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:44.400
You still take your kid to see the eel.
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:45.920
Yeah.
00:46:46.320 --> 00:46:46.880
Point break.
00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:47.679
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:46:48.480 --> 00:46:49.679
Sorry, yeah, that's kind of the end of that.
00:46:49.840 --> 00:46:51.679
I was thinking, where do I thought you had more for that?
00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:53.039
I really thought there'd be a little bit more there.
00:46:53.199 --> 00:46:53.840
No, that was it, right?
00:46:54.400 --> 00:46:54.719
That's good.
00:46:54.800 --> 00:46:55.199
That's really good.
00:46:55.280 --> 00:46:57.199
Yeah, if you're scared of um, yeah.
00:46:57.679 --> 00:47:05.679
If it's like if eels are about to go extinct and it's like your kid's last chance to see an eel, and the kids just want to say, I'm really trying to extend this one for you.
00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:07.440
I'm really trying to offer you more.
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:21.039
If eels are about to go extinct due to global warming that your generation made worse, exacerbated, Your Honor, um, then you should visit the eel factory with your daughter so she has a chance to see the eels.
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:22.159
It makes it just makes sense.
00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:23.679
I don't I can't just make sense.
00:47:24.079 --> 00:47:37.679
Fanthoma world where a uh somebody who is a parent puts themselves so much further above their child in a moment where the parents' feelings don't fucking matter.
00:47:38.079 --> 00:47:38.559
No, true.
00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:39.440
You've just got to suck that up.
00:47:39.599 --> 00:47:40.880
Put headphones on, pretend you're not there.
00:47:41.360 --> 00:47:42.159
It doesn't fucking matter.
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:43.840
But you know what I mean.
00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:45.840
Just like zone out if you have to.
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:50.400
Yeah, yeah, like literally anything that you can do, shut up.
00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:51.519
Yeah, yeah.
00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:54.159
Your opinion is completely irrelevant in this situation.
00:47:54.320 --> 00:47:57.199
I'm happy that the grandma was just like, nah, get fucked.
00:47:57.920 --> 00:47:58.639
Yeah, that's true.
00:47:59.039 --> 00:48:03.039
You've you've completed I'm gonna I'm gonna take the kid, we're gonna do that, we're gonna move on.
00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:08.239
I imagine that Granny has experienced some stories before with wife as well.
00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:09.119
It sounds like it.
00:48:09.199 --> 00:48:09.679
This is not a good idea.
00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:12.800
I get the vibe that Granny was like, oh yeah, yes, I'll get her, you know.
00:48:13.039 --> 00:48:15.039
Like, yeah, I could I could sense this coming.
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:16.400
I mean the kid as well.
00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:25.039
Does this not like just completely mean uh that she's now not gonna trust the mum to do important things for her now?
00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:28.400
Yeah, if it makes the mum uncomfortable, she's not gonna do it.
00:48:28.559 --> 00:48:33.360
This really fucks up the relationship with the with the parent because all of a sudden you can't trust your mum to be there.
00:48:33.519 --> 00:48:43.599
If you say, Mum, I'm trapped in you know a city at night and I just need to get home, you know, my phone's about to run out of battery, I'm at this place, but your mum's a bit scared of driving at night.
00:48:43.760 --> 00:48:45.039
I don't trust her anymore.
00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:47.599
I don't think that she will come and pick me up.
00:48:48.559 --> 00:48:49.199
A comment.
00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:50.000
I'm 42.
00:48:50.079 --> 00:48:52.400
When I was 12, a close friend of mine died suddenly.
00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:59.760
My mother, A, knew and didn't tell me, and B, refused to let me go to any services because it would be too sad to see a dead child.
00:48:59.840 --> 00:49:04.880
And C was actually furious when I figured out that she died because my mother didn't want me to know.
00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:06.880
I've not forgiven her for what she did back then.
00:49:06.960 --> 00:49:07.599
I never will.
00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:09.119
So thank you for being a good person.
00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:11.840
NTA, but I actually hate your wife.
00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:13.519
Yeah, I hate her too.
00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:16.320
She's a terrible wife, she's a terrible mum.
00:49:16.559 --> 00:49:19.840
She's also a fucking idiot, being like, I'm scared of funerals.
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:22.719
Yeah, I don't think anyone's holding it.
00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:23.840
Stand outside.
00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:25.440
Like, you don't even need to go in.
00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:26.880
Like, um, you should go in.
00:49:26.960 --> 00:49:29.760
I think you're still shit if you don't go in to support your child.
00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:30.559
Yep.
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:31.760
And the other family.
00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:34.960
You know, if they're childhood friends, they might know her.
00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:38.320
The the parents of the child, the other kids might know this, mum as well.
00:49:38.719 --> 00:49:40.639
Drop her off and go round the corner.
00:49:40.719 --> 00:49:42.960
Like, you don't need to be there, but you should be.
00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:44.880
She didn't even do the minimum.
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:51.119
Like, she didn't do literally the bare minimum, which is dropping the child off and then letting her just do it like a birthday party.
00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:53.519
As an aside, what's poo mode?
00:49:54.000 --> 00:49:54.719
Sorry?
00:49:55.119 --> 00:49:58.559
Uh the tagline has not the a-hole poo mode.
00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:01.679
I've got no idea.
00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:03.280
I don't know what poo mode is.
00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:04.880
It's POO mode.
00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:05.440
What's PO?
00:50:05.760 --> 00:50:10.239
I've just shared it among our virtual chat, and it says not the a-hole poo mode.
00:50:10.320 --> 00:50:14.480
And I don't I I always wonder what that is, and I never know.
00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:18.239
Um does it say it like on the sides like Oh, there's an FAQ.
00:50:18.320 --> 00:50:19.119
Hang on, going to the AK.
00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:20.880
Okay, yeah, what's poo mode?
00:50:21.119 --> 00:50:25.440
Um there's a great comment in our virtual chat, uh, actually from my beloved.
00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:26.880
Damn it, virtual audience.
00:50:27.039 --> 00:50:27.599
Oh, poo mode.
00:50:27.679 --> 00:50:30.079
Uh, who says, it's not the same, but I am petrified of snakes.
00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:32.159
Can't eat a Harry Bow snake level, that's true.
00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:37.440
Our nephew wanted me to go with him, not our collective nephew, because that would make us very uh very Norwichy.
00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:41.039
Uh but my nephew wanted me to go with him to see a snake in an exhibit.
00:50:41.119 --> 00:50:42.079
I didn't even blink.
00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:43.599
I took his hand and saw the snake.
00:50:43.679 --> 00:50:44.639
It's what you do for kids.
00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:45.199
W.
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:46.880
That's the T, I think.
00:50:47.119 --> 00:50:48.639
That's the no, it's not that.
00:50:49.039 --> 00:50:49.679
That's the T.
00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:51.840
That no, just the just these two.
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:52.639
That's the T?
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:53.519
No, stop it.
00:50:53.599 --> 00:51:03.280
So Pumo restricts participation to use 100 karma or more and or five days or more old account.
00:51:03.440 --> 00:51:05.920
So basically it's to stop there being brigading and stuff.
00:51:06.159 --> 00:51:07.119
I see, I see.
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:09.519
Until a podcast comes along and reads it.
00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:12.159
Yeah, that's really terrible.
00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:15.280
Any other comments that people uh just everyone's agreeing.
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:18.639
Yeah, there's nobody that I can see that's on Withy's side, unfortunately.
00:51:18.719 --> 00:51:21.519
She has lost everyone in and out of poo mode.
00:51:21.679 --> 00:51:22.880
Okay, well, cool, Cole.
00:51:23.039 --> 00:51:29.599
We've got one last one that is on zero upvotes, which is fun, 63 comments.
00:51:29.920 --> 00:51:32.239
Okay, and it's in poo mode.
00:51:32.480 --> 00:51:34.079
Ah, a bit more poo mode, love that.
00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:35.360
A bit more poo mode.
00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:39.360
So, am I the asshole for not going to my family meeting?
00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:41.599
Because I'm bored and handicapped.
00:51:44.639 --> 00:51:48.880
There's no way that Reddit has said the handicapped person is the bad guy here.
00:51:49.599 --> 00:51:50.639
It's a hell of a start.
00:51:50.800 --> 00:51:51.840
I'm gonna try to explain.
00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:53.840
First of all, I'm 38.
00:51:54.000 --> 00:51:55.199
Oh, this person's not like you.
00:51:55.360 --> 00:52:01.519
38, autistic, and got into a work accident 16 years ago that left me with constant backslash leg pain.
00:52:01.679 --> 00:52:04.480
And I'm talking about the family on my dad's side.
00:52:04.719 --> 00:52:04.880
Okay.
00:52:05.119 --> 00:52:07.519
My dad divorced my mum when I was 12 or 11.
00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:08.559
I don't remember well.
00:52:08.719 --> 00:52:10.400
But we had a chaotic relationship.
00:52:10.559 --> 00:52:18.719
He was, and maybe still is, I don't know, a narcissist that believes he was always right and that my mum was the reason for everything bad happening in his life.
00:52:18.880 --> 00:52:22.079
But I want to say that today I don't feel any hatred for him.
00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:26.960
In a way, his actions helped me to become who I am today, and I love the person that I am.
00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:30.559
In the end, after all those years, we used to have nothing in common.
00:52:30.880 --> 00:52:32.239
We want different things in life.
00:52:32.400 --> 00:52:41.119
We maybe saw each other 30 to 40 times in the 25 years that followed, and only because my grandma and my aunt uh invited me to a family meal once a year.
00:52:41.280 --> 00:52:43.920
Okay, so they just they see them once a year.
00:52:44.480 --> 00:52:44.639
Yeah.
00:52:45.039 --> 00:52:47.440
Uh it's mostly the same as my extended family.
00:52:47.599 --> 00:52:49.440
My aunt, my uncle, my cousins, etc.
00:52:49.679 --> 00:52:51.039
We just don't know each other that well.
00:52:51.199 --> 00:52:57.360
I'm not angry at them, after all, if I wanted, I could do the effort to ask more about their lives and what they do, what they like, etc.
00:52:57.679 --> 00:52:57.920
etc.
00:52:58.239 --> 00:53:00.800
But I never asked, and they never did either.
00:53:01.039 --> 00:53:03.760
For all I know, they don't even know that I'm trans.
00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:04.639
X D.
00:53:05.199 --> 00:53:05.519
Oh.
00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:07.280
I guess that is what it is.
00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:09.760
You are XD if you are trans.
00:53:11.119 --> 00:53:12.639
Yeah, it depends which way, very true.
00:53:12.880 --> 00:53:13.519
Depends which way.
00:53:13.679 --> 00:53:17.199
Uh so when I go to their place, I always have this feeling of being out of place.
00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:19.599
And frankly, to be bored out of my mind.
00:53:19.760 --> 00:53:26.719
I work in IT, so I'm really into technology, video games, etc., while they're talking more about politics, philosophy, wine, and stuff like that.
00:53:26.800 --> 00:53:28.480
I don't think they're talking about wine.
00:53:28.719 --> 00:53:29.039
Why?
00:53:29.360 --> 00:53:31.360
I don't think it's a topic.
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:35.760
Isn't that the song by Paul McCartney, like Christmas time, Philosophy and Wine?
00:53:36.159 --> 00:53:37.920
And I don't think they are doing that.
00:53:38.159 --> 00:53:45.519
I just politely eat, answer any question they ask, and phase my mind out till I decided it's late enough that I can leave without looking like I'm running away.
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:46.559
Okay, I get that.
00:53:46.800 --> 00:53:47.760
But it's family.
00:53:47.840 --> 00:53:49.599
There's social convention about that stuff.
00:53:49.679 --> 00:53:52.480
And it's one day a year, so I just keep my mouth shut and go.
00:53:52.719 --> 00:53:52.960
Yeah.
00:53:53.760 --> 00:53:54.239
Yeah.
00:53:54.480 --> 00:53:57.199
I think that is a completely reasonable take to have.
00:53:57.440 --> 00:53:58.800
I don't find you interesting.
00:53:58.960 --> 00:54:00.880
I don't care about these topics of information.
00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:02.159
I'll do polite chat.
00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:05.119
I'm gonna have some food for my grandma and my aunt, and then I'm gonna fuck off.
00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:06.320
That to me is very reasonable.
00:54:06.880 --> 00:54:07.519
Yep, yep.
00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:10.400
Uh, but these last years, my back problem got worse.
00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:13.599
Herniated disc plus sciatica, the big S mentioned.
00:54:14.079 --> 00:54:14.800
PTSD.
00:54:15.360 --> 00:54:22.320
Uh I try to stay in shape and walk every day, but age is taking its toll, and being 38, I'm close to cemetery already.
00:54:22.480 --> 00:54:25.679
Well, show up.
00:54:26.079 --> 00:54:26.559
Shut up.
00:54:27.039 --> 00:54:28.159
Yeah, it's a shut up moment.
00:54:28.400 --> 00:54:30.079
Shut up, you're chill, you're fine.
00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:40.159
Um, and so it's become increasingly hard and dangerous for me to drive long distances because my right leg can just decide that nope, we're not gonna move to the brake pedal today, even if you want to.
00:54:40.320 --> 00:54:44.239
And it gave me quite the scare from time to time when I want to brake and I can't.
00:54:44.480 --> 00:54:45.599
You shouldn't be driving.
00:54:45.920 --> 00:54:46.960
No, you shouldn't be driving at all.
00:54:47.039 --> 00:54:47.840
That's a time to time.
00:54:47.920 --> 00:54:50.239
Whoa, that's red flag, red flag.
00:54:50.400 --> 00:54:50.719
Anybody?
00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:51.760
Any red flags in chat?
00:54:51.920 --> 00:54:53.280
There's a siren coming off.
00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:54.159
I don't love that.
00:54:54.400 --> 00:54:57.440
Yeah, you shouldn't drive if you can't break all the time.
00:54:57.760 --> 00:54:58.639
It's quite important.
00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:00.000
It's really important.
00:55:00.159 --> 00:55:02.079
Uh so I told them that I couldn't come anymore.
00:55:02.159 --> 00:55:03.679
They offered to pay for the train.
00:55:03.840 --> 00:55:07.679
But walking from the train station to their place was even worse than driving.
00:55:07.840 --> 00:55:09.920
Yes, they didn't come to get me.
00:55:10.159 --> 00:55:20.639
And then they offered to come get me in the car, but I had to sleep two days there, and they only had a folding camp bed that really messed my back up and caused me to be stuck for a week in pain afterwards.
00:55:20.880 --> 00:55:25.840
I don't think they I think they don't really understand or care that my back is in a really bad shape.
00:55:26.079 --> 00:55:30.880
So after that, I started to decline their invitation for health reasons, but they keep asking me to come.
00:55:31.119 --> 00:55:32.159
So what do you say, Reddit?
00:55:32.239 --> 00:55:35.760
Am I the arsehole for not going to my family meeting because I'm bored and handicapped?
00:55:38.159 --> 00:55:40.400
Two different avenues to attack.
00:55:40.880 --> 00:55:41.519
That makes sense.
00:55:41.679 --> 00:55:42.400
That makes sense.
00:55:42.639 --> 00:55:44.000
If you're bored, you can get over that.
00:55:44.079 --> 00:55:44.320
Whatever.
00:55:44.400 --> 00:55:46.639
That doesn't really matter if you're bored at a family thing.
00:55:46.800 --> 00:55:52.159
For the record, I will say that I have quite a similar relationship with my family on my dad's side.
00:55:53.280 --> 00:55:54.079
They're fine.
00:55:54.239 --> 00:55:55.519
They're not they're very nice people.
00:55:55.679 --> 00:55:56.159
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:55:56.320 --> 00:55:57.760
But I I see them very rarely.
00:55:57.840 --> 00:56:01.519
Like less than this person does, once every five years or so.
00:56:02.000 --> 00:56:04.239
Um they're nice people when I see them.
00:56:04.400 --> 00:56:05.920
We do the classic normal chat.
00:56:06.079 --> 00:56:06.800
What have you been up to?
00:56:06.880 --> 00:56:07.760
Blah blah blah blah blah.
00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:09.440
Classic, classic genre.
00:56:09.840 --> 00:56:13.840
If there's like a family event, then I will just probably not go.
00:56:14.079 --> 00:56:18.400
I might do every now and then, but like I'm not exactly gonna be rushing.
00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:23.039
And that's fine because there's always one more person in the extended family meetup.
00:56:23.119 --> 00:56:23.679
Do you know what I mean?
00:56:23.840 --> 00:56:27.199
Like you can't have every single person there from your family every single time.
00:56:27.440 --> 00:56:34.320
Yeah, like to my wedding as well, like my aunt from that side, she came, but then uh my other aunts, they were busy.
00:56:34.400 --> 00:56:36.880
And I was like, okay, cool, that's completely fine.
00:56:36.960 --> 00:56:37.519
Like, you're good.
00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:41.360
But I yeah, this is sort of the relationship that we have, and I think that's okay.
00:56:41.599 --> 00:56:44.079
Um, but it's still very polite.
00:56:44.159 --> 00:56:49.519
I'm not gonna say I'm like the most excited whenever I'm there, and yeah, that's just kind of okay, that's fine, it's whatever.
00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:51.360
Uh they're talking about philosophy and wine and such.
00:56:51.519 --> 00:56:53.280
It's just talking about wine all the time.
00:56:53.679 --> 00:56:55.039
It's like Chris Red Wine.
00:56:56.800 --> 00:56:58.079
Oh, take your pig.
00:56:58.239 --> 00:57:02.159
Um, yeah, before we get to the comments, are they the arsehole?
00:57:03.599 --> 00:57:04.880
For not going, no.
00:57:05.119 --> 00:57:06.639
Not yeah, not really.
00:57:07.199 --> 00:57:07.519
No.
00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:09.199
But there is the red flag.
00:57:09.519 --> 00:57:11.920
The red flag of probably shouldn't be driving.
00:57:12.159 --> 00:57:14.159
I feel like you've lost the people there with that.
00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:15.599
Yeah.
00:57:16.079 --> 00:57:22.960
They can't they they they don't they should be able to drive if they're driving.
00:57:23.599 --> 00:57:24.079
Ultimately.
00:57:24.239 --> 00:57:31.280
I think that's a bit of a yeah, it's it's definitely a red flag that there's uh they can't break all the time.
00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:32.880
That's crazy.
00:57:33.199 --> 00:57:35.199
I think if you can't break, don't don't drive the car.
00:57:35.280 --> 00:57:36.480
And I think that's very fair to say.
00:57:36.639 --> 00:57:37.840
I think that's very fair to say.
00:57:38.159 --> 00:57:39.599
Okay, top comment.
00:57:39.760 --> 00:57:43.519
Um, not the arsehole for not going to this family meeting.
00:57:43.679 --> 00:57:45.840
You don't really have a relationship with any of them anyway.
00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:48.400
This feels like just accepting what already is.
00:57:48.719 --> 00:57:55.039
But you're the arsehole for continuing to get behind the wheel of a car in such an unsafe fashion.
00:57:55.280 --> 00:57:59.039
You either need to get the car adapted so you can safely drive it or stop driving it.
00:58:01.920 --> 00:58:04.480
Reliably hit the brakes, you're not safe to be on the road.
00:58:04.639 --> 00:58:09.760
Now, their comment is uh below threshold, and so it's being schnitzed.
00:58:10.159 --> 00:58:10.880
Or truncated.
00:58:11.119 --> 00:58:13.519
So trunky seed.
00:58:14.320 --> 00:58:18.800
They have said, I'm safe when I stay in a small radius of 15 kilometres around my place.
00:58:18.960 --> 00:58:22.880
So I drive to get the groceries and go out and have fun once a month.
00:58:23.039 --> 00:58:25.920
But other than that, I'm basically a hermit living in my cave.
00:58:26.079 --> 00:58:26.639
XD.
00:58:27.119 --> 00:58:28.719
Also, I live in the countryside.
00:58:28.800 --> 00:58:30.559
If you don't drive, you can't do anything.
00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:35.360
Not the person's not not Doris's fault that you drive into, or problem, frankly.
00:58:36.159 --> 00:58:44.159
Yeah, this per this person's also like they they basically keep replying and then keep like making it cute with like little faces, like, I don't intend to starve.
00:58:44.320 --> 00:58:46.159
Send me a check and I'll buy one straight away.
00:58:46.320 --> 00:58:48.719
And someone replies to them saying, This isn't cute.
00:58:48.960 --> 00:58:49.920
Stop trying to make it cute.
00:58:50.000 --> 00:58:50.480
You're a good thing.
00:58:50.639 --> 00:58:51.679
You can also get food delivered.
00:58:51.920 --> 00:58:53.599
And no one on the road road has any clue.
00:58:53.679 --> 00:58:53.920
Yeah.
00:58:54.000 --> 00:58:57.280
You can get on Morrison's on Asda.
00:58:57.519 --> 00:59:00.719
Sorry, on uh Morrison's on Amazon, you can get that for free with Prime.
00:59:00.880 --> 00:59:01.360
Bosh.
00:59:01.519 --> 00:59:02.480
Well, there you go, everybody.
00:59:02.559 --> 00:59:03.360
That's yeah, that's fine.
00:59:03.519 --> 00:59:06.800
So yeah, basically, if you can't break, probably don't drive.
00:59:07.039 --> 00:59:07.840
Yeah, that's the one.
00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:08.559
I think it's fair to say.
00:59:08.960 --> 00:59:10.480
Yeah, this person is the arsehole.
00:59:10.719 --> 00:59:15.440
Wow, the disabled person is the arsehole, but not because they're disabled, but because we can't break a car.
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:16.960
We've learned a lot today.
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:22.320
Can we end the final one with a classic pick A or B, which I really like as an a way to end these?
00:59:22.559 --> 00:59:25.679
Because pick A or B, honestly, absolutely popped the heck off on TikTok.
00:59:25.760 --> 00:59:27.360
If you saw that and now you're here, thank you very much.
00:59:27.519 --> 00:59:31.280
Got like 70k uh on TikTok uh and and counting.
00:59:31.519 --> 00:59:32.960
So this is our second one of these.
00:59:33.119 --> 00:59:33.440
Okay, okay.
00:59:33.599 --> 00:59:33.920
Are you ready?
00:59:34.079 --> 00:59:34.960
We're all gonna pick A or B.
00:59:35.199 --> 00:59:37.360
Our virtual audience must also say what they would pick.
00:59:37.519 --> 00:59:37.920
Yeah, exactly.
00:59:38.079 --> 00:59:40.000
Hold up their virtual signs of A or B.
00:59:40.480 --> 00:59:41.119
A or B.
00:59:41.440 --> 00:59:48.239
A gate agent gate check oh, a gate agent gate-checked my carry-on with$780 of refrigerated meds inside.
00:59:48.400 --> 00:59:58.079
The bag went missing for 62 hours, and the airline's resolution desk says they'll process my claim after I apologize for my tone with the agent.
00:59:59.679 --> 01:00:00.000
Okay.
01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:01.760
Okay.
01:00:02.320 --> 01:00:02.639
Okay.
01:00:02.880 --> 01:00:05.679
So a story first, and then we get to the the crux of it.
01:00:05.840 --> 01:00:06.880
What's the A and what's the B?
01:00:07.119 --> 01:00:12.559
I take an injectable migraine medication that has to stay between 36 and 46 degrees Fahrenheit.
01:00:13.360 --> 01:00:16.559
It comes as two years, it comes as two injector pens per box.
01:00:16.800 --> 01:00:18.159
About$390.
01:00:18.639 --> 01:00:22.000
America! Fucking hell, just get out of the ACE! Shit!
01:00:22.320 --> 01:00:27.840
Pay eight pounds at my pharmacy, not an audit of person, on it the fucking country.
01:00:28.000 --> 01:00:31.119
And my insurance covers one fill per 28 days.
01:00:31.280 --> 01:00:35.679
I fly with it in a small medical cooler pouch with gel packs and a doctor's letter.
01:00:35.840 --> 01:00:40.239
My sister sewed a little green handle cozy for the pouch so it's easier to grab at security.
01:00:40.400 --> 01:00:40.719
That's cute.
01:00:40.880 --> 01:00:41.840
There's a frog on it.
01:00:42.079 --> 01:00:42.639
That's cute.
01:00:42.960 --> 01:00:44.000
Okay, that's that is sweet.
01:00:44.320 --> 01:00:47.360
My frog has been through TSA screening maybe 40 times.
01:00:47.519 --> 01:00:49.920
I've flown the same airline for 14 years.
01:00:50.079 --> 01:00:51.199
Gold status.
01:00:51.360 --> 01:00:52.639
Sorry, gold status.
01:00:52.880 --> 01:00:55.280
Same route every month for work.
01:00:55.519 --> 01:01:01.119
Two Fridays ago, the gate agent announced the bins were full and everything roller-sized had to be gate-checked.
01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:02.880
I hate that.
01:01:03.440 --> 01:01:10.960
I pulled the med pouch out of my roller bag at the podium and told her calmly that it was refrigerated medication and needed to stay with me.
01:01:11.199 --> 01:01:12.159
So easy fix.
01:01:12.400 --> 01:01:13.039
Okay, ma'am.
01:01:13.280 --> 01:01:13.840
Okay, yeah.
01:01:14.000 --> 01:01:16.159
Can you just make sure that you don't put it under the seat in front of you?
01:01:16.239 --> 01:01:17.360
Keep it on your lap.
01:01:17.519 --> 01:01:23.519
Like if if they're gonna be able to do it, maybe they'll do like you know when your parents catch you smoking and they make you smoke all your cigarettes at once.
01:01:24.719 --> 01:01:27.519
Oh, I don't want to inject any more in my tiny am I going.
01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:32.159
Um Christ, I've lost my place.
01:01:32.400 --> 01:01:33.039
Need to stay with me.
01:01:33.119 --> 01:01:36.559
She said the airline was gate-checking bags and that she needed to tag mine too.
01:01:36.639 --> 01:01:38.480
I asked if a supervisor was available.
01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:40.559
She said no one was available.
01:01:40.719 --> 01:01:43.679
I asked her to note on the tag that it contained medication.
01:01:43.760 --> 01:01:45.599
She tagged it and put it on the belt.
01:01:45.840 --> 01:01:46.159
Okay.
01:01:46.800 --> 01:01:49.119
I kept my voice level the entire time.
01:01:49.360 --> 01:01:54.400
The guy behind me muttered, unbelievable, and later offered to give me his name if the airline asked.
01:01:54.719 --> 01:01:54.880
Okay.
01:01:55.119 --> 01:01:58.400
As in, so he's getting staying neutral.
01:01:58.639 --> 01:02:01.440
Oh, so the guy behind was like, I can't believe what I'm seeing.
01:02:01.519 --> 01:02:03.840
If they try and turn this on you, I will be a witness.
01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:05.840
Because I can see that's getting fucked up.
01:02:05.920 --> 01:02:06.159
Okay.
01:02:06.639 --> 01:02:08.960
The bag didn't come out at baggage claim.
01:02:09.360 --> 01:02:14.159
I filed the report at 10.05 pm, 20 minutes after the carousel stopped.
01:02:14.400 --> 01:02:18.159
The pouch arrived Sunday at 12.07 pm.
01:02:18.480 --> 01:02:18.880
Oh my god.
01:02:19.199 --> 01:02:23.440
62 hours somewhere in the airline's baggage system.
01:02:23.599 --> 01:02:25.119
The gel packs were warm.
01:02:25.360 --> 01:02:27.920
Both boxes worth about$780.
01:02:28.239 --> 01:02:32.320
I mean, they're not worth about 15 quid, at my pharmacy were trash.
01:02:33.519 --> 01:02:35.840
My pharmacy said they couldn't for fuck's sake.
01:02:36.000 --> 01:02:41.119
My pharmacy said they couldn't simply replace the medication because my insurance would an override for a lost prescription.
01:02:41.760 --> 01:02:47.519
For folks, why the fuck is insurance telling you what you can and can't have?
01:02:47.760 --> 01:02:54.960
Your pharmacy is saying that you need to have this medication, and the insurance goes, no, they don't need it.
01:02:55.679 --> 01:02:57.599
How is that allowed?
01:02:58.000 --> 01:03:00.400
The insurer wanted documentation from the airline.
01:03:00.639 --> 01:03:02.880
The airline took nine days to provide it.
01:03:03.039 --> 01:03:09.519
I oh my I spent that stretch rationing what I had and missing one dose.
01:03:09.840 --> 01:03:12.719
Yesterday I got the email from their resolution desk.
01:03:12.960 --> 01:03:13.519
Quof.
01:03:13.599 --> 01:03:15.199
It actually says quote, but I've added a cheeky quote.
01:03:15.280 --> 01:03:16.239
Quaf is done, yeah, of course it's not.
01:03:16.400 --> 01:03:16.800
Quoth.
01:03:17.199 --> 01:03:21.599
The claim has been placed on hold pending review of the interaction at the gate.
01:03:21.760 --> 01:03:24.880
Once the matter is resolved, we can continue processing the claim.
01:03:25.360 --> 01:03:29.199
They offered 7,500 air miles of the goodwill gesture.
01:03:29.360 --> 01:03:34.480
The$780 claim will be processed after I send a written apology to the agent.
01:03:34.719 --> 01:03:37.199
Not for anything I said, I didn't say anything.
01:03:37.440 --> 01:03:39.039
Just for my tone.
01:03:39.599 --> 01:03:40.079
What?
01:03:40.480 --> 01:03:42.880
I've emailed the witness twice, no response.
01:03:42.960 --> 01:03:43.360
Oh, that's right.
01:03:43.519 --> 01:03:49.280
So it's her report about my tone against my 14 years of flying like a boring adult.
01:03:50.079 --> 01:03:52.400
Which brings us, Stumpy, to A or B.
01:03:52.559 --> 01:03:56.719
And everyone in here right now and everyone in the in the YouTube comments from everywhere else, can please get involved.
01:03:57.039 --> 01:03:59.760
Because this is one that I saw and I thought this is genuinely going to split the room.
01:03:59.920 --> 01:04:00.400
Yeah, okay.
01:04:00.719 --> 01:04:01.039
A.
01:04:01.360 --> 01:04:07.360
I send the apology, collect the$780, and quietly take my monthly route to their competitor.
01:04:07.679 --> 01:04:10.480
It's two sentences, I've written worse for work.
01:04:10.800 --> 01:04:11.039
Okay.
01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:14.880
B, I don't apologize for a tone I didn't have.
01:04:15.039 --> 01:04:22.639
I file the DOT complaint, forward the behavioral review email to their executive customer relations, and let the claim take as long as it takes.
01:04:22.800 --> 01:04:27.280
Let them explain in writing why my baggage claim is being conditioned on an apology.
01:04:29.599 --> 01:04:31.039
I know my answer.
01:04:31.840 --> 01:04:32.400
Do you?
01:04:32.639 --> 01:04:33.280
Yeah.
01:04:34.559 --> 01:04:36.400
I'm writing that apology.
01:04:38.000 --> 01:04:39.119
I'm writing the apology.
01:04:39.840 --> 01:04:43.199
I can tell you right now, would Analetti write it?
01:04:43.280 --> 01:04:44.800
Because Linnea would not let me write that apology.
01:04:44.880 --> 01:04:47.519
Well, she would let me, but Linnea would be I know strongly on B.
01:04:47.840 --> 01:04:49.599
Path of least resistance, let's just get it done.
01:04:49.840 --> 01:04:55.039
Like it doesn't, it doesn't matter what's going on ultimately.
01:04:55.199 --> 01:05:00.400
However, it's quite contingent on am I out?
01:05:01.039 --> 01:05:03.039
You've got the medication, it's all fucked anyway, right?
01:05:03.119 --> 01:05:05.440
It's not like they're holding it hostage and then you'll get it.
01:05:06.000 --> 01:05:08.000
Um which is also mental if that was happening.
01:05:08.239 --> 01:05:10.159
And you can afford more, you're not going to die.
01:05:10.480 --> 01:05:11.199
This is my thing.
01:05:11.360 --> 01:05:13.920
You have got the means.
01:05:14.079 --> 01:05:20.480
This$780, by the sounds of things, doesn't sound like it's going to devastate you for the month.
01:05:20.639 --> 01:05:23.679
It's gonna, you know, delay your rent payments, whatever.
01:05:23.920 --> 01:05:24.480
Yeah.
01:05:25.039 --> 01:05:31.760
In that scenario, I go B, and because I'm in America, I get ready to sue, sue, sue.
01:05:32.000 --> 01:05:33.199
That's that's that's what I'm thinking.
01:05:33.519 --> 01:05:35.920
You might get thousands out of this.
01:05:36.079 --> 01:05:41.119
You might get so much money for uh the ability to just hold on.
01:05:41.360 --> 01:05:45.199
You call it discrimination, you can call it, you know, anything you want, anyation.
01:05:45.599 --> 01:05:49.199
If the money isn't important to you, you go B.
01:05:49.360 --> 01:05:55.840
If you just want to be rid of it and you say, fuck it, I just can't be bothered, I just want to move on with my life, you then go A.
01:05:56.559 --> 01:06:03.199
So yeah, the options again are A is basically write the apology, collect the money, suck it up, B is fight.
01:06:03.360 --> 01:06:09.679
I th more I think about it, especially in America, and I've seen people in our in our virtual audience saying this, you have to fight it.
01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:12.400
You go to I would the first thing I would do is go to a lawyer.
01:06:12.559 --> 01:06:14.239
Go to a lawyer, say, do I have a case?
01:06:14.320 --> 01:06:19.039
If the lawyer looks at it and goes, unfortunately you're gonna have to suck it up or you won't get the money back, I would then suck it up.
01:06:19.199 --> 01:06:19.920
That's a good shout.
01:06:20.079 --> 01:06:20.639
That's a good shout.
01:06:20.719 --> 01:06:20.960
Yeah, yeah.
01:06:21.039 --> 01:06:21.519
I think that's what I'm saying.
01:06:21.679 --> 01:06:23.840
I'd get a professional opinion, see what's going on.
01:06:24.000 --> 01:06:24.239
Yeah.
01:06:24.480 --> 01:06:28.639
But oh, and also, that's a good point from our resident American in the virtual audience.
01:06:29.039 --> 01:06:30.639
The one we allow for a stream.
01:06:31.119 --> 01:06:37.440
You would need to pay for your lawyers and such, and then at the end, you would then be compensated if you win.
01:06:37.679 --> 01:06:39.760
Is that not no win no fee in America?
01:06:40.079 --> 01:06:46.800
I don't know, but by the sounds of things, where he says they'll drag things out until your money dries up and you give up.
01:06:47.039 --> 01:06:50.559
If this would take if this would make me spend money to fight it, I'm out.
01:06:50.800 --> 01:06:51.360
Yeah, no, yeah.
01:06:51.440 --> 01:06:51.840
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:06:52.079 --> 01:06:55.519
Have you heard about those guys who like there's a guy who likes to big guy, by the way.
01:06:55.599 --> 01:06:57.039
That's only the big guys.
01:06:57.440 --> 01:07:03.440
There's a guy who like has been fighting a parking fine for 30 years and it's cost him like$17,000, and the fine was for like$100.
01:07:03.679 --> 01:07:05.519
And he's like, no, it's it's about the principle.
01:07:05.760 --> 01:07:06.960
I'm not that principled.
01:07:07.199 --> 01:07:09.679
Principles generally exhaust the person with them.
01:07:09.920 --> 01:07:10.239
Yeah.
01:07:10.639 --> 01:07:11.440
And that's a good question.
01:07:11.519 --> 01:07:13.360
Can you apologise in the tent of court after?
01:07:13.519 --> 01:07:17.119
That's a fair point, but I imagine as soon as you apologize, that is going to be their trump card.
01:07:17.360 --> 01:07:18.960
Probably any argument you have in the court of law.
01:07:19.280 --> 01:07:27.519
Also contingent on the fact that they say if you reply with an apology, you therefore forfeit your right to be able to sue us later.
01:07:27.679 --> 01:07:31.679
And you're taking the responsibility that yes, I didn't handle it well and therefore that's what happened.
01:07:32.079 --> 01:07:32.800
Very annoying.
01:07:33.440 --> 01:07:33.840
Yeah.
01:07:34.079 --> 01:07:36.159
What I'd do is move to a better fucking country.
01:07:36.320 --> 01:07:36.880
Thank you, everybody.
01:07:37.760 --> 01:07:39.119
For listening to officially.
01:07:39.440 --> 01:07:40.159
Unofficially.
01:07:40.480 --> 01:07:42.079
Episode 45.
01:07:43.199 --> 01:07:43.679
45.
01:07:43.920 --> 01:07:44.960
Crumbs on a crumb.
01:07:45.519 --> 01:07:46.239
Appreciate you all.
01:07:46.320 --> 01:07:48.719
Uh we're coming up to a year of opening.
01:07:48.960 --> 01:07:49.840
No, we're past a year now.
01:07:49.920 --> 01:07:51.599
It was September 2025.
01:07:52.800 --> 01:07:53.840
We didn't do anything.
01:07:54.400 --> 01:07:55.679
No, no, no.
01:07:55.840 --> 01:08:01.119
I don't really get on with you that well, so I don't really want to come to your family events because I'm disabled and my back hurts.
01:08:01.360 --> 01:08:02.480
Why aren't we doing anything?
01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:03.760
Are we not doing anything?
01:08:04.239 --> 01:08:04.880
We can do a year special.
01:08:04.960 --> 01:08:05.199
I don't know.
01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:05.679
What do you want to do?
01:08:05.760 --> 01:08:07.599
What do you want to do for the year special officially unofficially?
01:08:07.679 --> 01:08:08.880
Do you want to like eat a cake or something?
01:08:08.960 --> 01:08:09.760
Because I I'm up for that.
01:08:09.840 --> 01:08:10.960
I'd eat a cake with you right now.
01:08:11.199 --> 01:08:12.079
Yeah, let's just say a word.
01:08:12.320 --> 01:08:12.880
Thank you, everybody.
01:08:13.440 --> 01:08:14.159
Subscribe.
01:08:14.639 --> 01:08:15.440
I'm not doing that.
01:08:15.679 --> 01:08:17.359
We're not doing the split screen case.
01:08:17.760 --> 01:08:18.239
Oh god.
01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:20.720
That was nice.
01:08:21.359 --> 01:08:22.720
That was nice bye.
