Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Alrighty. All righty, everybody, welcome back to another episode of the Human podcast. Almost said the other argue this Dampy. I know I'm tired.
Fine.
But yeah. Welcome everybody to the Human podcast. We got me Alex the truck. We got my wife over here. Say hello.
[00:00:24] Speaker B: Hello.
[00:00:25] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:00:26] Speaker B: Sorry, I got distracted.
[00:00:27] Speaker A: And then we got Courtney.
[00:00:29] Speaker C: Hi.
Sorry.
[00:00:33] Speaker A: Today my wife went to Purina.
[00:00:40] Speaker B: I went to one of the Purina food power plants.
[00:00:45] Speaker A: It's a power plant.
[00:00:46] Speaker B: Oh my God, it's so cool. Oh my God, animal nutrition is so cool. There is so much science about food. Like it's fucking crazy.
Something squishy. Okay. There's so much cool shit about nutrition.
Oh my God.
[00:01:03] Speaker A: Okay, tell us about it.
[00:01:05] Speaker B: Okay, diets.
Okay. Dog food originally came from World War II where basically they just put a bunch of random shit, put it at kibble form and fed it to dogs. And then World War II ended, the market for food was still there and so they started marketing food to everybody's animal. Back then no one did any science whatsoever. It was just like whatever you fucking could throw in a can. In 1990, companies like Purina and Hills and Rail Canaan started devoting science to nutrition. And we now have so many cool diets and diets. So there are diets that help with your cat with kidney disease. There are diets that help with neuro stuff. There's diets that can help prevent can, help in some cases, help with epilepsy. There's diets for kitties who have allergens. It's super cool. But this one guy, he was talking about how all the chemicals, they change stuff in the body. And so a dog came in who he was having heart problems. So he put the dog on a cat kidney diet because kidneys and heart, they have a very complicated relationship. But it did something my God, I'm so sorry. But it did something that made his body produce more CO2. So his body was driven to take deeper breaths despite the inflammation, which is cool.
Oh my God, it's so cool.
[00:02:32] Speaker D: I feel bad for all those people that are disposing of dead bodies and like dog food cans. Back before the scientific nerds got involved.
[00:02:43] Speaker B: Oh my God. And I learned so much about prebiotics. I had no idea prebiotics were a thing, but they're super fucking cool. Okay, so probiotics is basically you add good bacteria to the gut. Prebiotics, you add food to the good bacteria that's already there to help boost them. Like you take Probiotics with Probiotics and they're symbiotic.
Okay, so like that packet, I got the calming care, so I'm going to try this out with goose. But basically it's a type of bacteria. So there's like a really strong brain gut connection thanks to your vagal nerve.
Okay, I'm not going to get too anatomy wise, but there's a very strong connection between your gut and your brain. And so they're doing these studies and they found one specific strand of bacteria. It was not the lactobacillus, but it helps with anxiety.
So they're giving cats this very specific type of probiotic and apparently they're having a lot of fucking success with it, helping with cat anxiety. So I got a box of it, actually. I'm going to try it in all three cats and see if it makes a difference.
Yeah. Going to run an experiment because right now they're all in the royal canaan.com food, and mainly it's just goose on the royal canaan. But I've been kind of giving it to chai tea and mochi, and it's not making much of a difference because it's not a key portion of their diet. So I got to bring something else in because I've decided I need to put chai tea back on his ragdoll diet. His co coat is not as good as it used to be. He needs to go back on the diet for his coat. And so I was thinking about switching goose's diet to a senior diet. But now that I've been talking with the purina peeps, because I was worried about doing, like, a renal diet or I'm worried because eventually he's going to have to go on a renal diet and that's going to affect his proteins and he's going to start losing muscle mass. And so I was talking to the dude about it, and I'm like, I'm just so anxious about that because I know I need to switch his diet. But he's got all those other problems. He's got all these other problems with his IBD. And the guy was like, no, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. You're on a great diet if you want to do something. If I want to change his diet at all, I should just go to a GI diet, which not I'm really thinking about because goose is, like, on steroids, like long term. And yes, cats can handle it pretty well, but still, it's like, I kind of want to get him off the roads.
[00:04:59] Speaker D: So while you're at the Purina place, did you have to sign an NDA or anything like that?
[00:05:06] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:05:07] Speaker D: And so is there stuff that you know that you can't tell me?
[00:05:12] Speaker B: I'm not going to lie. I'm not quite sure what it was. I didn't read it. But I do know for sure I can't talk about some of the machinery that they told us about.
[00:05:26] Speaker D: Even if you did tell me, cool and give you a thumbs up and that's it.
[00:05:31] Speaker B: I'm not going to disrespect Purina like that. And I signed something that I don't actually know what I signed, so I got to be careful.
I should have read it.
[00:05:40] Speaker D: They're like, yeah, we're here for your kidney.
[00:05:43] Speaker A: It's like, what?
[00:05:44] Speaker D: It's like, hey, no, you just signed over.
[00:05:45] Speaker A: Transfer your kidney.
[00:05:47] Speaker B: I mean, they can take one of the sucky ass fuckers.
They can take the kidney that has the stone in it that's too big. So no doctor will fucking remove it. They can take that shitty ass kidney.
[00:05:59] Speaker D: Put it in somebody else.
[00:06:01] Speaker A: It's like, ha.
[00:06:03] Speaker B: Yeah, they can deal with this back painting.
[00:06:10] Speaker C: Wait, so you got a kidney stone?
[00:06:13] Speaker B: Yeah, there's a big ass stone in my kidney.
[00:06:17] Speaker C: Why do you keep on getting them?
[00:06:19] Speaker B: Oh, no, that one's been there for years. I've talked to more than one doctor about that, and they're like, yeah, it doesn't cause you that much pain, so we're not going to touch it.
[00:06:30] Speaker C: Seriously?
[00:06:35] Speaker B: It's very hard.
[00:06:36] Speaker C: Can't they just go and do something through a catheter or whatever?
[00:06:41] Speaker B: Well, no, it's big.
It's a complicated surgery to get rid of it, apparently.
[00:06:51] Speaker D: I mean, it seems like you just cut it out.
[00:06:57] Speaker B: I know, right?
But I know it's not that simple. I know it's not that simple.
[00:07:02] Speaker D: I don't know, it seems that simple.
I'd be a great medieval doctor because it'd just be experimenting.
[00:07:11] Speaker B: Oh, my God, you would be.
[00:07:14] Speaker D: But like today doctor, they're like, oh, well, you hurt their feelings.
[00:07:20] Speaker A: And it's.
[00:07:21] Speaker D: Like, well, fuck you.
[00:07:24] Speaker B: Okay, so quite honestly, techniques have improved from the Middle Ages, but we still do surgery exactly the way we did a long time ago. You still cut open the same body cavities. You still use the same suture pattern.
Tools have helped and advancement and robotic surgery is super fucking cool. But what happens at the end of the day hasn't changed.
It's still taking apart the body and putting it back together like a puzzle piece.
[00:07:58] Speaker D: Yeah, I'm not good at like but.
[00:07:59] Speaker B: With good pain meds and therapy, not.
[00:08:02] Speaker D: Good at doing it neatly.
[00:08:05] Speaker B: That's what scissors are for.
[00:08:09] Speaker C: I actually removed my ingrown toenail.
[00:08:13] Speaker D: Yeah, I've done that twice.
[00:08:15] Speaker C: Yeah, at least there was a pretty deep one.
[00:08:23] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. I've had one where I had to have a belt and I was like, in my closet because I got one professionally done by a doctor that sucked so bad that I would rather just rip it out myself.
[00:08:43] Speaker A: And I did.
[00:08:44] Speaker B: How old were you when you did this?
[00:08:50] Speaker A: Like probably 16.
[00:08:54] Speaker B: Okay. And when did you most recently have.
[00:08:56] Speaker D: To do it in this house.
[00:09:00] Speaker B: Okay. And was it that bad the second time around?
[00:09:03] Speaker A: No.
[00:09:04] Speaker B: And he was so disappointed.
[00:09:08] Speaker D: Because I.
[00:09:09] Speaker B: Took care of you were going to be this all macho dude who survived his experience, only for you to realize what you experience now is much different than how you experienced it at a six year old.
[00:09:21] Speaker A: Well, as six year old disappointed 16.
[00:09:29] Speaker B: Okay, 616. What's the difference? To be honest, ten years, which is a decade.
[00:09:34] Speaker A: A decade.
[00:09:34] Speaker B: Decade to 20 years.
[00:09:36] Speaker D: So I was like, sitting there in my fucking closet at my parents house because I live with them and I.
[00:09:46] Speaker A: Have a belt in my mouth and.
[00:09:47] Speaker D: I have a leatherman, like the little fucking multi tool.
[00:09:51] Speaker C: The what?
[00:09:51] Speaker B: Never mind.
[00:09:53] Speaker D: It's appliers that have, like, fucking knives on it. And shit. And so I'm, like, slicing open my fucking toe and fucking using the pliers to rip out the fucking ingrown toenail. And I did it so well.
And then I fucking just doused it all in, like, rubbing alcohol, like isopropyl alcohol or whatever.
[00:10:16] Speaker B: Really hate Lidocaine that much?
[00:10:19] Speaker D: Yes.
[00:10:20] Speaker B: No.
I'm putting this together in more than one way. God, you really hate Lidocaine?
[00:10:28] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:10:30] Speaker B: Why?
Okay. It is worth the cost.
[00:10:37] Speaker D: I mean, when I ripped out my own ingrown toenail after getting the other one professionally done, it hurt a million times less.
[00:10:47] Speaker B: I was so grateful for my lidocaine when I got my tooth pulled.
[00:10:53] Speaker D: You know that scene at the end of Lord of the Rings where they're at the volcano and Golem falls in?
For me, it felt like dipping my toe into that hot lava and pulling it back out. But it's like, go in for, like, 20 minutes and then come back out slowly.
[00:11:15] Speaker B: Local anesthesia is the best thing on the entire planet.
[00:11:20] Speaker A: No, absolutely not.
[00:11:22] Speaker D: I refuse to ever let it happen again.
[00:11:24] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
You're allowed to hate it. I still love you.
[00:11:29] Speaker A: Yeah, absolutely not.
[00:11:35] Speaker D: But I did fucking upgrade or not. Rather upgrade. Like, I updated my office.
[00:11:46] Speaker B: What's the difference between update and upgrade?
They both have a long A, so.
[00:11:54] Speaker C: Upgrade means it's better. Update means you're just doing the clutter and making what's there already better.
[00:12:06] Speaker A: I got some cool new things, but.
[00:12:10] Speaker B: That'S why I considered it upgraded. Because you got new things.
You got cool new things. It's so fucking cool in here now.
[00:12:19] Speaker A: No, I just got a corner desk.
[00:12:21] Speaker B: It's cool.
[00:12:29] Speaker A: But let's just jump right into some fucking stories.
So watertown has run after water after major water main break.
[00:12:43] Speaker B: Wait, what?
[00:12:44] Speaker A: So watertown, New York.
[00:12:46] Speaker B: No, read the title again.
[00:12:48] Speaker A: Watertown has run out of water after major water main break.
[00:12:52] Speaker B: Someone wrote that title, and they are very proud of themselves.
Yeah, no, they went home and fucked their wife. Proud of that title.
[00:13:04] Speaker A: So watertown? New York has run out of fucking water. And they pretty much brought in trucks to know hand out water, like gas stations.
And I feel bad for them. And then I realized, like, Flint, Michigan, is right around the corner. So I'm like, would you rather have poison water or no water?
[00:13:28] Speaker B: Okay. No, you don't.
We take fresh water for granted, and it's really fucked up that this happens.
[00:13:36] Speaker A: Well, maybe we should have stores of fucking fresh water. Like, we can put a bunch of stores of fresh water in the basement.
I can literally bury, like, a water container below the house.
[00:13:50] Speaker B: But fresh water is such a huge fucking thing. We don't have to go get water from some random place and boil it every single day to make sure we have fresh water. We have fresh water when we turn.
[00:14:03] Speaker A: On our yeah, isn't America grand genius?
[00:14:05] Speaker B: And it's shitty.
That a country who can do that cannot bother to help those with whom the system has failed.
[00:14:15] Speaker C: Oh, gosh.
[00:14:16] Speaker A: Well, here's another person in the system.
The landscaping crew mows around dead body, assuming it was a Halloween prop.
[00:14:32] Speaker C: That's actually pretty sad.
[00:14:34] Speaker A: No, fuck this guy. 34 year old Robert Owens, lying face down in the grass near a home in China Grove, North Carolina. Turns out that a lawn care worker had encountered the body a day earlier and mowed around it, assuming it was a Halloween prop.
Cause of death is not yet known. And I doubt that they're ever going to fucking update the story with how he actually died. Probably drug overdose.
Like, if we're getting real specific.
[00:15:11] Speaker B: This is hilarious.
[00:15:12] Speaker A: 30 year olds love drugs, but it's the perfect time to murder somebody. Like if you're going to murder someone around Halloween, just leave them out.
It's like, oh, yeah, hang them up from a tree.
That's a great decoration. I like that.
[00:15:35] Speaker B: Body be smelling at.
[00:15:36] Speaker A: That point if it was dead for decomposing. Body smells like sweet fucking decay. It's a weird smell. It's not nice.
[00:15:46] Speaker B: I assume it just smelled like rank shit.
[00:15:51] Speaker A: You know, like roadkill when it's first dead.
[00:15:58] Speaker B: No, I've never hit something.
[00:16:03] Speaker A: Have you been there? Like right after something got hit?
[00:16:07] Speaker B: I don't know. I don't think so.
[00:16:09] Speaker C: It's a weird smell.
[00:16:11] Speaker A: It is.
[00:16:14] Speaker C: I remember finding our tenant and it was so sad.
[00:16:18] Speaker B: Oh, God, Courtney, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that.
[00:16:26] Speaker C: Yeah, I was really sad. His son in law came over with the grandson and they were like, yeah, we haven't heard from him and we'd like to check on him. So I ended up going and he was obviously dead a long time. But it was so sad because he was performing like CPR on him and trying to save but like it was pretty yeah.
[00:16:52] Speaker B: Oh, my god. Oh, no, Courtney. That's so much worse than I thought it was.
[00:16:57] Speaker A: Well, here's something even worse. Clearwater. Police officer arrested for sexual battering tourists after stopping her for walking so over in Florida. Like, I knew Florida wouldn't fucking let me down.
A police officer was arrested after officials said he stopped a pedestrian, told her he wouldn't cite her for jaywalking or charge her for sexual misconduct in exchange for sexual acts with him.
Nicholas Paloma?
Yeah. Fucking 29 year old with like almost 30 year old dudes always most retarded.
[00:17:40] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:17:42] Speaker B: EW.
[00:17:43] Speaker A: Over jaywalking. I'd fucking kill that cop.
Like, if a cop ever fucking came and talked to me about some jaywalking bullshit, like I'd be like, hey, guys, this guy wants to arrest me over jaywalking and then beat him up.
[00:18:00] Speaker B: Oh my god. How many women has he done this to?
[00:18:04] Speaker A: Well, now a bunch of them are going to come fucking forward and he's going to be in prison for like 30 years.
[00:18:10] Speaker B: It would be so much better if this hadn't happened in the first place.
[00:18:14] Speaker A: It'd be better if women would carry a gun in their purse like they used to and fucking just end fucking creepy dudes. Like, just make it legal to fucking murder. Fucking rapy, dudes.
[00:18:29] Speaker B: That treats a symptom. It does not treat the cause.
[00:18:32] Speaker A: Oh, no. It 100% treats the cause.
[00:18:34] Speaker B: That's all I'm going to say. Continue.
[00:18:39] Speaker A: Yeah, that poor lady.
But this poor fucking tourist said portuguese tourist said he was jailed for looking gay. Now he does look gay.
[00:18:54] Speaker B: Oh my god, he looks gay.
[00:18:56] Speaker A: Looks super fucking gay.
A 34 year old Portuguese man was arrested by police while vacationing in Turkey because he looked gay.
In speaking.
There's no way. Publico publico Miguel Avrondo Avaro claimed he was arrested because his shorts were shorter than usual. For men, the issue began when he left his apartment he was renting. He saw a group of police officers. He headed towards them asking for directions, how to get to blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
He was surrounded by police. Yeah, don't fucking talk to the cops.
This is on him. This is 100% on this guy. Fuck him.
[00:19:48] Speaker C: Oh, my god.
[00:19:51] Speaker A: What?
[00:19:56] Speaker C: They should be able to give directions.
[00:19:59] Speaker A: No, don't go to Turkey and ask for directions.
But Netflix is now going to be opening brick and mortar locations as what? Netflix. You know, like a yes.
[00:20:22] Speaker B: Movie theater.
[00:20:25] Speaker A: They're kind of flushing out what they're going to do with it. They think it might be live entertainment. Fucking movie and a show.
Netflix and chill without the hand job.
[00:20:38] Speaker B: Well, that's the whole point of Netflix and chill.
[00:20:41] Speaker A: It's going to flop. It's going to flop super fucking hard. Unless it's something it's very interesting.
[00:20:46] Speaker B: So they don't even know what they're going to do with it in the.
[00:20:48] Speaker A: Long run because well, I mean, like, Disney does it. But they've had their parks forever.
[00:20:56] Speaker B: But they have Disney on ice. Like, is this going to be a stage?
[00:21:00] Speaker A: It could be. It could be live plays. It could, um comedians know Netflix coming out and doing shows. I don't assume it's going to be a whole fucking shitload of them. I think it's going to be like New York, La, and maybe Denver.
And it's like, yep, there you go. That's all you get.
[00:21:21] Speaker B: I am very curious to see what this turns.
[00:21:25] Speaker A: Imagine, you know, your Netflix show isn't doing too hot. But they're like, hey, we'll fucking promote your Netflix show some more if you're willing to go out here and do this dumbass show for a weekend at one of our locations.
Go out there and fucking be able to see one of your favorite fucking.
[00:21:46] Speaker B: Actors from I want it to be a drive in theater.
[00:21:50] Speaker A: Stupid.
But now we're on to am I the asshole?
Yeah. I already told you guys this was going to be a shorty episode. I'm tired. I'm hungry.
After this episode. What?
[00:22:11] Speaker B: Cat food.
[00:22:12] Speaker A: Cat food.
[00:22:13] Speaker B: Cat food. Continue.
[00:22:14] Speaker A: I don't know what you're talking about.
By revolutionary dog four Nine asshole for booking a holiday at the same place my sister will be at for her honeymoon.
This is a resort that can have 1000 plus people at once, so it's not like I'll be running into them. She told me that she found this great discount deal because it's undergoing maintenance and it's the off season. I don't like swimming in chilly weather, but, like, the other amenities of the resort and the location is somewhere I've always wanted, so I decided to take a look around for the same deal. Now my sister is pissed at me saying I'm stealing her honeymoon, and I have no plans on hanging out or paying any attention to them. Am I the asshole if it's like a destination wedding?
[00:23:11] Speaker C: No, it happens a lot.
[00:23:13] Speaker A: It's a resort and they're going at the same fucking time.
[00:23:17] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:23:20] Speaker A: I can see how it can be misconstrued. It's like you could have gone at a different fucking time.
[00:23:30] Speaker C: Nah, not really.
[00:23:34] Speaker B: That's a nice update.
[00:23:36] Speaker C: Overall, Op, what happened?
[00:23:39] Speaker A: Well, here, let me read some of the comments.
Sloppy poppy. Poppy, you're the asshole. There are hundreds of thousands of resorts worldwide, and this resort will be available any other time of the year, including the week before and the week after. Going at the same time as your sister will be going there on her honeymoon is really weird behavior.
[00:24:03] Speaker B: It's just weird.
[00:24:09] Speaker C: So is it a honeymoon destination, or are they having their wedding there too?
[00:24:14] Speaker B: No, it's the honeymoon.
[00:24:16] Speaker C: Oh, then no.
[00:24:17] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:18] Speaker C: That's fucking weird. For some reason, I thought it was, like, part of the destination wedding type thing.
Yeah, no, that's fucking weird.
[00:24:27] Speaker B: Yeah, it's weird.
Yeah.
[00:24:30] Speaker A: I mean, if they're going to some weird resort in Jamaica and you're like, I fucking want to go out there, and you're like, let me get a fucking resort of sandals, and they're like, oh, fuck, we're at the same fucking resort.
You don't actually have to talk to your sister. It's fine.
[00:24:50] Speaker B: It's weird.
[00:24:53] Speaker A: You have the ability to go wherever the fuck you want on this planet. You shouldn't be constrained by other fucking people.
[00:25:02] Speaker B: It's weird. Okay? It like rains on their parade.
[00:25:06] Speaker A: Well, the update I went to sleep and had tens of comments, and now it's hundreds. I canceled the vacation with a fee.
[00:25:16] Speaker B: Oh, boo.
[00:25:17] Speaker A: A lot of people are making assumptions about me. I really didn't understand why this was a big deal. I don't either.
I'm not the center of attention type person. I'm not wearing white to my sister's wedding. I'm not in love with a groom, et cetera. I didn't really think it was that big of a deal. I didn't think it was clearly that big of a deal. It clearly is. Also, I wasn't downvoting you're the asshole comments. I was asleep when 99% of the comments are made. Thanks for the advice. Everyone except for the person that privately messaged me saying they'd fuck me up.
[00:25:53] Speaker B: I am so proud of Op. Well done.
Very proud of Op.
Well done.
[00:26:06] Speaker A: But now it's shitty. It's like, hey, guess what? Now your fucking sister has to spend more fucking money.
[00:26:15] Speaker B: I'm so proud of Op. Op made the best decision, in my opinion.
[00:26:25] Speaker A: All right, well, now we have relationship advice by throw RA level exam.
My 36 female daughter my I'm 36 year old female daughter, 18 female friend, 18 female, stole a $5,000 watch from my husband, 56 male. And we don't know how to tell our parents.
[00:26:52] Speaker B: That's an age gap.
[00:26:54] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, it's fucking 20 years. Whatever.
[00:26:57] Speaker B: I'm just pointing it out. I'm not saying it's bad.
[00:27:00] Speaker A: Our daughter, 18 female, has been friends with this girl, 18 female, for about eight or nine months. In the last few months, she's started inviting her to our house more often because they're classmates and sometimes they'll have projects to do together.
Well, since last week, she came to our house and my husband was helping them with a project since they are studying the same thing he studied. At one point, my youngest daughter came home with her friends and my eldest daughter and her friend went to my husband's office and according to her.
[00:27:37] Speaker B: You.
[00:27:38] Speaker A: Want to read it?
[00:27:39] Speaker B: According to him, he had taken off his watch and left it on his desk and our daughter saw it, so he was right. But when her friend left, the watch was gone. And after searching throughout the house, I decided to check the security cameras and she took it when she left alone in the office for less than 5 seconds. Oh, man, I still missed a word. To my surprise, my daughter wasn't surprised because according to her, this is the third time that valuable things have disappeared from our house. And the first two times she stole a pair of gold earrings and a gold necklace from my daughter. And she thought them lost because honestly, she loses her things all the time. But my daughter is sure that her necklace and earrings were in her jewelry box and that her friend took him. Now, my husband and I don't know if we should tell her parents since she has stolen a significant sum of money from our house. And the last thing we want is to get the police involved. We just want to get our stuff back and help her get help because she clearly has a problem. How can you talk to the parents about this without them feeling offended? In total oh, shit. In total, she stole almost $6,000 from her home. And that's not right. But she's young and we want to give her another chance. And that's why we're not going to involve the police. And that's why we also want to talk to her parents. What would be the correct way to face the situation?
[00:28:55] Speaker A: Send this girl to prison. Fucking let her learn.
[00:28:59] Speaker B: Just to clarify, they are in college. The decision not to involve the police has to do with that. We don't want to affect her academia. Whatever. I can't say that word academically nice. And I say that we want to factor her parents because she still lives with them and they are the ones who pay for everything for her.
This is a very kind couple.
[00:29:27] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:29:29] Speaker A: Send that girl a prison.
[00:29:32] Speaker D: Let her come out with a fucking hard attitude and cool tattoo.
[00:29:37] Speaker B: They have thought about this so much.
[00:29:40] Speaker A: Oh, there's an update on it too.
[00:29:41] Speaker B: Okay, I need an update. I want to know what they've done, because I am almost in awe of what they've just said. I'm not going to lie.
[00:30:10] Speaker A: Here it is.
[00:30:11] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:30:12] Speaker A: Going to read it.
[00:30:13] Speaker B: I'll do my best.
My husband and I decided oh, go back to the top. Thank you.
My husband and I decided to talk to her parents because she lives with them, and we thought telling them was the best thing. Well, according to them, they suspected she was doing something wrong because she was receiving more and more gifts from my daughter every day, because that's what she said they were. We told them that our daughter only gave her a bracelet that was a birthday gift, but that the rest of the things had never been gifted. Fortunately, they weren't offended and even promised to check her room to see if they could find her things. When they checked her room and her electronics, they found even more things than we had thought.
She had been stealing things from our house for months to sell them online in a secondhand. Clothing sales app at home. We live with four teenagers, 18, 1614 and twelve, who are constantly exchanging clothes, shoes, jewelry, and often have arguments because one of them takes something from the other without permission. So when she stole several items of my daughter's clothes, they never suspected it was her. She sold all the clothes she stole from them and only had my daughter's earrings and necklace, a ring from my youngest daughter, and my husband's watch in her house.
She hasn't sold the expensive stuff.
[00:31:36] Speaker C: No.
[00:31:39] Speaker B: According to her, she did that because she wanted to help her father with some debts that he has because she didn't want to have to sacrifice college to reduce expenses. She works as a nanny and sometimes the money wasn't enough to help her family. And she noticed that since my daughter wasn't affected by losing jewelry, she thought about taking them because she needed them more.
Her parents confirmed that they have debt, but they would never have thought she would do something like this to help. They apologized and promised to return every penny to things that were already sold. But my husband told them that it was not necessary, that her giving us back the jewelry and the watch was enough. She gave us back everything and also apologized. We told her that this time we were not going to involve the police, but not that everyone else would do the same if they caught her stealing again.
We also made it clear to her that she is no longer welcome in her home and that my daughter will finish the project for both of them because we don't want her to be involved with her either. And that was it. And we haven't heard from her since. A lot of people said we were idiots for not getting the police involved. And the truth is, we might be, but we weren't going to ruin an entire family life over a watch and some earrings.
I really like Op.
I also read comments saying that my daughter knew that she stole, but that's not the case. She loses things all the time. Or sometimes her sisters take things without permission. So she never suspected that her friend was the one stealing from her. That's why she kept inviting her over.
I adore op.
[00:33:13] Speaker A: Jail, jail, jail.
[00:33:16] Speaker B: See, this is the kind of mom I hope I would be.
[00:33:21] Speaker A: No, I'd be like, all right, I.
[00:33:23] Speaker B: Won'T be a mom.
[00:33:23] Speaker D: I'd be like, hey, guess what?
[00:33:24] Speaker A: You're fucking 18.
[00:33:26] Speaker D: Here's some real fucking consequences. Welcome to the big world.
Welcome to the thunderdome. Out of the frying pan, into the fire. Dumb bitch.
Like, how dare you come into my.
[00:33:40] Speaker A: House and steal from me?
[00:33:42] Speaker B: See you're everyone else.
[00:33:44] Speaker A: I am. Yeah.
I don't even have to read the.
[00:33:48] Speaker D: Comments to know what they fucking say. They're like, Crucify this fucking dumb bitch.
[00:33:56] Speaker B: But literally, he said they weren't going to ruin a family over a watch and some earrings. Like, that is the most beautiful thing I've heard in a very long time.
Very long time. That is absolutely gorgeous to hear.
[00:34:13] Speaker D: I mean, it's a nice sentiment.
[00:34:16] Speaker B: It is.
[00:34:17] Speaker D: But now this girl is like, okay, cool. I fucking got away with stealing a.
[00:34:24] Speaker A: Whole bunch of this shit.
[00:34:25] Speaker B: Okay? Op being nice and her continuing to be a thief are two different things that are completely unrelated.
This doesn't say anything about the girl's behavior. This is talking about Op's behavior. And that is separate from what the young lady does or continues to do, or if she stops, whatever. Op is not responsible for that because of her response is open and.
[00:34:55] Speaker D: Know we're two different sides of the coin on this whole thing.
[00:35:00] Speaker B: I know it's fun.
[00:35:02] Speaker D: Courtney, where do you sit on this? Would you send them to fucking prison or just I got it would depend.
[00:35:11] Speaker C: On what the reaction was.
[00:35:15] Speaker D: Like, say someone came in and stole your iPad or some shit like that.
Say one of fucking your dad's friends come over and bring their kid and.
[00:35:38] Speaker A: Their kid steals, like, your iPad.
[00:35:42] Speaker C: If they returned it, then yeah.
If they didn't, then I would go to the cops and press charges.
[00:35:51] Speaker A: What if it was broken and they. Threw it away.
[00:35:54] Speaker C: I would press charges, see.
[00:36:01] Speaker B: If it.
[00:36:02] Speaker C: Was broken, and they realize that, oh, my kid stole this and paid for it. A replacement, then, yeah. I wouldn't go to cops. But if they didn't, then I would go to the cops.
[00:36:21] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:36:21] Speaker D: Now I just go to the cops no matter what.
[00:36:24] Speaker C: You just said not to go to the cops for even directions.
[00:36:32] Speaker D: Slight me at all.
[00:36:34] Speaker B: I love it when you pay attention the whole time. Courtney.
[00:36:39] Speaker C: What?
[00:36:39] Speaker A: I'm tired.
[00:36:41] Speaker D: But yeah, we'll go ahead and end it. Right?
Like like I said, a little shorty.

[00:36:55] Speaker D: Also, my wife just got home late.
[00:36:57] Speaker B: So yeah, I got to go to work. Aren't I lucky?

[00:37:30] Speaker B: The problem is, I think we're going.
[00:37:32] Speaker A: To both have the same side on killing retarded people.
[00:37:35] Speaker B: Yeah. So you'll have to be the person who doesn't want to kill them.
[00:37:37] Speaker A: I don't want to kill retarded people.
[00:37:39] Speaker B: Okay, good, because I want to.
