Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is John, this is Sam, your og Okay storytime
podcast hosts, and.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We have some spectacular stories coming up.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
But real quick, we got a two minute break from
our lovely sponsors keeping this ship sailing. My brother had
a cancer scare, but my entitled grandmother managed to make
it all about her.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It's not always about you, Grandma.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Hello, I'm new here and have many stories to share
about my grandma. She is a C word. To put
it simply, I have many words. I have many stories
to share about her, some my own and some of
my mom's. She was the definition of a mother in
law from h double Honkey Sticks. But that's not here
or there. But I do have a story that is
making my blood boil. She will now be called eg
(00:43):
entitled Grandma. We're gonna call her grandma because I refuse
to acknowledge her as my flesh and blood. Okay, maybe
we should have a different name for eg I'm just
gonna say grandma for simplicity.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Grandmama, Grandma, Grandmama.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
By the way, this comes from Acrobatic Bug sixty four
and if you want to your own stories, go to
slash Okay story. I'm spread him so recently, my brother
twenty two, Mail developed a strange lump in his neck
he had This had been a month long ordeal, So
I will begin at the beginning. Upon receiving this news,
my brother first reaction was just to call my mother
and dad, allowing them to spread the news if they
(01:17):
wanted to. My mom told her mom so they could
send him food, clothes, money, et cetera. My grandmother didn't
become aware of this until about a week or so
we got mostly because she wasn't going to do anything
but pester. After the initial acknowledgment of the possibility of cancer,
she proceeded to call my brother and yell at him
for not telling her first. How could you not tell
(01:38):
me about your cancer?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I wanted nobody your cancer for like, you're so selfish?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
She accused him of being selfish.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Oh that's crazy, what a wild thing, desay.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
For keeping this diagnosis from her. A nurse?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Oh oh what she gonna do?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Does she have the cure to cancer?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Boom and shit your mouth. I find this bit because
she's a CNA. No insults to CNA. You guys do
wonderful work. My family is a family of nurses and doctors. Heck,
my brother is going to medical school himself, not to
mention her being a nurse does not entitle her to
know personal information about us. We didn't want to tell
extended family yet because we weren't sure if it was
(02:16):
cancerous or assist. We didn't want to create unnecessary worry.
Throughout the month, she had been calling and texting him
non stop. When he didn't respond, she would blow up
my phone and my brother's phone. I don't live with
my brother, and admittedly I don't how much contact with him,
so I don't know why she called me forty five
times within two days. That is basically one time per hour, forty.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Five times within two days.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Those are rookie numbers. Skip those up.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Oh my goodness, gracious.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I had to block her number so I could get
through school without my phone constantly buzzing in my pocket.
She finally stopped when my dad stepped in and forced
her to. We hadn't heard from her much during that time,
or at least so I thought. We had to go
over to where my dad had lived so my brother
could have it removed. Insurance problems were the reason we
couldn't stay in town. It was just supposed to be
(03:06):
my dad, My Mom and me. I was mostly there
for my mom because I didn't want her to be alone.
When we let family know, Grandma decided to call my
brother and demand he go to Mayo, Rochester for a
second opinion. We didn't even have the first opinion yet.
All we knew was that the lump had to be
taken out and had even been biopsed or sent to pathology.
(03:29):
She kept insulting the hospital we were going to and
claiming that Rochester was so much better. It was not.
It was just further. We were going to Bellend or
infony by Bellend. This made my dad angry because he
works at the hospital and it's Bellund. My dad called
her and told her to shut the f up silence.
We were hoping that would be it. Guess what, guys,
(03:50):
it never is. It wasn't, of course not. It wasn't
the end. The initial trip was supposed to be a
three and a half day trip, even Tuesday night for
the hospital and leaving Friday afternoon. It was just going
to be the four of us. However, in true Grandma fashion,
she decided to butt into the situation once more. She
announced on Facebook, of all places, that she will be
(04:11):
going to her grand baby surgery to be there for
him and that they should pray for her, not him.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
She's like, pray for me that I may get through
these trying times, not anyone else. This is gonna be
really think of a praying for my son.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, this is gonna be really hard on me. Like,
I'm gonna have to watch him be in bed. I'm
just gonna be at a hospital for three and a
half days. That's tough.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
She's like, I'll vlog from inside. I'll text you guys updates.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
We were not aware she was coming until that announcement
a day before we had to leave. We stood up
and just tried to keep things nice and stress free
for my brother. When we arrived, it was smooth at first.
First night, we got dinner and discuss plans for the
next day. My brother had a CT at nine fifteen
and then a consultant for surgery at eleven thirty. Afterwards,
we were going to wander around the city and enjoy ourselves.
(04:55):
The first part of our plans went well. We got
up to breakfast and then went to the CT appointment.
I was originally going to meet my stepmom there and
we were going shopping and getting some things for post surgery. However,
grandmother met us at the hospital. At the first appointment,
she began demanding to take my mom's spot in the
appointment room, saying she had a lot more right to
be there in that room because she knew more than
(05:18):
my mom did.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
What what that's like, that's so stupid. That logic makes
no sense. Like, if someone's sick, only the nearest doctor
in your family is the only one that could be
in there. Yeah, it's like, Mom, you can't be in there.
My third cousin is a doctor, so so yeah, hierarchy, hierarchy,
he's got to be in there.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
It go. It doesn't go by closeness. It goes by education.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Doctor. She should experience. I'm a doctorate.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
If you had a doctor, you could do anything.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I could do anything.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Man, I can give people druggs. You got to do that. Now.
I don't want to follow this footsteps step whose footsteps?
I don't think she knows. My mother the mother of
my brother. Before my mom could say anything, my brother
put his foot down, which shut Grandma up for a bit.
She pouted in the corner while my brother and my
parents went into the appointment with him. The appointment took
(06:10):
about an hour or so. My stepmom and I began
getting ready to go shopping for a bit, catching up
and deciding where to go. Grandma stepped in and demanded
that we stay, wanna buy here alone. We denied her,
saying that we wanted it to just be us and
I had seen my stepmom in a while. Then the
conversation took a turn for the worst. She began calling
me a disappointment for not thinking of my grandmother and
how I was just such an ungrateful brat. She ran
(06:32):
it about how she would be alive to spend another
moment with her grandmother, and how I never know she
might just drop passed away. She might just drop, She
just might drop. She started demanding why I didn't defend
her and why I blocked her. I was not a
good mood after years of abuse from this hag that
burnt out of high school, and the fact that it
(06:53):
was nine o'clock in the morning. I simply replied in
with a short tone, if you dropped passed away right now,
I couldn't care less, turned on my heel with my
mom and went shopping.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Oo, hope you did like a little If you passed
away right now. I couldn't care less she did like
a she did like a passed away drop.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Would you gift dead people?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Would you gift them just a joke?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Where they're going shopping? So she could probably pick up
Grandma something I could he for, like some coffin ear rings.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
You can you give her some flowers through your grave.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Exactly after the CT we decided to go out as
a family until the next appointment. Grandma took this opportunity
to take control. She started directing us places where she
wanted to go, places she thought my brother would like,
and she kept asking my brother to buy things for her.
The brother was cancer, because apparently this situation was just
as hard on her as it was my brother. What,
(07:44):
oh my lord, hey, can you buy me something? Why
are we telling our grandkids to buy us stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Amy something? Because your cancer is really it is really
bringing me down.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
That makes no sense at all none. My step mom
and I double teamed Grandma whenever she started pestering my
brother over the smallest things, like she wasn't allowed in
the appointment, We separated them quickly and into the conversation
before it escalated. Finally, it was time for the second
appointment instead of shopping, I sent the appointment time doing
school work, and I was missing a few days. Not
(08:16):
to mention, I was emotionally drained from trying to parent
a boomer. Grandma started pestering me, though this time she
was a bit nicer, asking about school and such. I'd
bean talking about my plans for senior year in college.
She then started trying to tell me what I should
do with my life, that I should follow my father's footsteps,
become a respiratory therapist or something better. Yet, a CNA
(08:37):
like her told her no, that I planned to become
either a psychologist or a physical therapist. That was final.
She pouted and then started telling me what classes I
should take for my senior year, insisting my schedule would
be too hard for me. She said that sometimes it
was a bit of a slow and might not be
able to handle calculus and physics. At the same time,
I've been my tongue and ignored her. She got angry
(08:59):
at me for ignoring her, and all that could muster
was this is why no one wants you around.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Oh he is not taking any freaking crap man, Dude,
you this is why you should just go ahead and
drop dead. She would say that though she did she
did say that though. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
That shut her up for a while. Finally, lunchtime came
and we went to my brother's restaurant. Choice. Dude, it's
now lunch.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Dang, you got a long day. He's just now lunch.
Oh my god, you got ahead of you.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Oh. Grandma complained about the restaurant and then tried to
tell us what to order. When she heard I had
ordered enchiladas, she started ranting about my cholesterol and wait, saying,
you know, a fat pete is a bad pete. I
move seats, leaving her alone at the end of the table.
When the waiter came, she tried to change my order
to a salad. Mom stepped in and told her to
(09:52):
shut the f up.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Nobody likes his grandma. I love that. Everyone's just like,
shut you up, Grandma, grandma. And the girl was like,
no one is dealing with this Grandma's crap. Man. The
Grandma's like, you should change your career to mine, and
everyone's like, shut up, Jesus, Grandma.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
We're treating her like Jerry from Parks and rec But
she deserves this. My dad gave her the glare of doom.
She finally shut up. That night, she pestered me to
stay at her hotel. I refused, not wanting to leave
my mom alone. She tried to drag me away by arm,
calling me a brat. I pulled away and called her
an effing hag. The next day we learned she had
(10:32):
gone home because she knows when she's not wanted. Doubtful,
she sent us all a long string of text saying
how disappointed she wasn't us for not respecting her, and
how stressed she was about my brother's possible cancer. I
ignored her. The rest of the trip went well. My
brother surgery went well. Luckily, it was just bingeing benign.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I didn't know where you were looking.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Luckily it was just benign. Were you thinking sure, I don't.
I don't know. I just I just did my best
of trying to say it. Yeah, I was gonna say
ben Gwynn like penguin. Benguin. That was my first guest
when I knew that was absolutely nice.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
It means that it's it's not harmful. There's malignant, malignant
tumors and benign tumors.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Now he has a wicked scar from where his lyft
node was removed and I still have grandmother blocked. Guys.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah, some of the teacher YO says, I can't imagine
this type of relationship with a grandparent. True, like everyone
hates his grandma so much?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
What caused her to be so?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
But because I feel like sometimes you have a relationship
with the like we read stories where grandparents terrible and
one person's like, oh, like, no one gets it. Everyone
keeps telling you nice, my grandma, But every family member
in this story has been like, shut up, Grandma.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
And guys, this is just one part of Grandma trying
to make everything about herself. We have another update and
it is titled my Grandma tried to ruin the wedd
ink because it wasn't all about her. We got another
update after this incident. I mean, I know, op, he
blocked her, but what about the family, Like what does
the family do? Everyone blocks the grandma, really, everyone blocks Grandma.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Life alone by Grandma in silence.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Grandma just seems kind of annoying, hon it. Yeah, I
don't know if she's like everyone needs to block her
and she just sounds like really annoying. True, just like
ignore her a little bit a little bit, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know, I don't know. What
do you do? I mean, it's family. It's just like
the card you're dealt. You know.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
That's just because honest, they just invite her to everything
and rag on her.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Literally, she's just the butt of the joke.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Like she comes to every they're like, hey, Grandma, come over,
and then they're like, Grandma, you freaking stuck.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
No, it's in. We might have to have a conversation
about the next story. But guys, here's the next story.
This is the update to this about the same grandma,
Grandma mine syled grandmother tried to ruin the wedding because
it wasn't all about her.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Maybe Grandma needs to get married.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
My dad was around twenty seven and my mom twenty five.
They've been together for three years and wanted to tie
the knot. Grandma wasn't a big fan of my mom
from the beginning, mostly because my mom didn't let her
walk all over her to an extent, but also because
my mom had an ex fiancee and wasn't a virgin,
which is funny because neither was my dad.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, but she just hates women.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, Also, like does she know that?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Who was having that conversation, she was like, are you
a virgin? No. Pi's mom was like, uh, that's not
your business, and she's like, well, there we have it.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
There is I scared you. Opi.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
The Grandma's like, I am that doesn't make sense, Grandma,
I am.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yes, I am an acuta conception.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I'm the mother Mary, Mother Mary. It first began when
she ruined the proposal. My dad proposed a nice dinner
party with family involved, so everyone would be there. My
mom knew about the proposal because she had picked out
the rink, she just didn't know when it would happen.
Grandma thought it would be a good idea to spoil
the proposal by declaring my uncle's deployment date right after.
(13:50):
It didn't work. She got chewed out by my dad
later like, hey, these people are gonna get married. This
guy is out of here.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yeah. Yeah, they're like their Opie's dad is like, would
you make me the happiest man on earth? And Grandma's like,
he's gone to the army.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
This guy's going to Vietnam.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Mamma for him. You guys are getting married while this
man fights a war. And then they're like Grandmars, shut up.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Great time and great Tom and Grandma. However, throughout the dinner,
she was making sly comments about the ring being too
fancy and my mom being a shallow for wanting such
a nice rn. I've seen the ring. It's one diamond
with a twistman far from big, far from france fancy.
After my mom didn't react to the ring comments, she
began to go after my mom's weight, so so low.
(14:36):
She always goes after people's weights. The dinner was at
Double hockey Sticks, and when my parents went home, they
didn't talk much. Then the planning went to heck. My
mom and dad wanted to be married within a year
of the proposal, mostly due to finances and because my
mom wanted to start having children. My grandma disagreed they
were moving too fast, and when my mom mentioned her
(14:56):
plan for children, all of a sudden she was too
old for me having kids. Mind you, she even said
that if my mom wanted children, she should have stayed
with her ex fiance instead of marrying her son. Keep
in mind, my mom was twenty five and if they
got married, she'd be twenty six. Then Grandma began telling
her to stop pursuing her career because it would be
easier just to be stay at home wife, especially if
(15:18):
she want to get to My mom didn't stop her career.
She ended up just ignoring Grandma for the most part,
ignoring phone calls, texts, and messages, which calls Grandma to
have a conniption fit and go crying to my dad.
Here's the responts.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Okay, okay, oh Grandma.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Her behavior continued throughout the wedding planning. Everything had to
be her way. The church was never right, the arch,
the dates, the gas list. She tried to convince my
parents to push back their wedding to fit her and
her friends schedules, and when my mom denied her friends
from coming, she threatened not to attend. My parents budged
only slightly, mostly with the church because my mom wasn't
(15:53):
particularly attached to one. Grandma tried to convince them to
get married in her church. The problem my parents lived
in Chicken Up, well, my grandma lived in Wisconsin down.
The church was also incredibly small. It was a town
of under two thousand people. Yeah that's a small town,
dang man. While my mom and dad had a small
wedding with only family and a handful of friends, it
(16:16):
still wouldn't have fit my mom's side. Grandma witched and
moaned about not having the wedding at her church until
my grandpa shut her up, saying he'd go without her.
No one likes Grandma, Yeah, dude, Grandpa is not even having.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Everyone is so dumb with her crap.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Like, how do you entertain this? How do you stay
around this?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
But none of them they're just like, oh, Grandma, shut up, Grandma,
oh man.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Wedding dress shopping came around. My mom wanted simple pale
colors for bridesmaids and guests could wear neutral colors. The
wedding party was in pale greens and pinks to accent
her dress. She had a beautiful gown laced with a
puffy skirt and a veil of course, and floey sleeves.
Grandma didn't like the dress. My mom hadn't invited her
to dress shopping. She didn't invite her own mother either,
(17:02):
since she lived in Florida and just had her bridesmaids there.
Grandma was infuriated. How dare she not invite her own
mother in law? Well, technically you're not the mother in
law yet, and other technically you live very far away
and another technically I do like you.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
And there you have it. Facts from Riley, Facts from
Riley with glasses, Riley's alternate persona.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
I don't I don't know how to perceive you with glasses?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Where's my glasses?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Right?
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Glasses?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Show you a picture with me with glasses.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I could just get my glasses, but I would just
get up.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I'm gonna find.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Lucy Smith says, grandma doesn't like anything. Apparently your grandma's
got problems with everything, and everyone's just tired, just really
tired of it, tired of everything. Like what do you do?
What do you do with a like you? Just what
kind of life is it to be the grandma?
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Though?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
You know, it's so hard to be so milk Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
And everyone hates you, like that's such a sad life.
Even your own husband is sick of you. Honestly, I
feel bad for this grandma. I've seen Riley and glasses. Also,
that is the joke that you were wearing glasses and
you've seen Riley you slap her?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Didn't my mom know that my aunt never invited Grandma
to dress shopping either? Wonder why? And that she had
always dreamed of picking out a dress for her daughter
and daughter in law. My mom broke her heart and
she saw the dress. Her lips pursed, her eyes widened.
She began tarring into it, saying it made my mom
look like a witch, and how dare she wear white
(18:26):
and lie.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
To God years all the virgin talk again.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
She said it looked like it came out of the umpster,
that it didn't flatter her, that she'd looked like a sausage.
My mom was so close to returning the dress because
she no longer felt beautiful in it, And so my
grandma or mom dug into a entitled grandma and making
her go crying to my dad like a beaten puppy.
Title Grandma cooled down for a little while. She stopped
going after my mom and instead went after my dad.
(18:53):
For the most part, my dad has always been the quiet,
stoic type. His way of dealing with this Mom was
a green with her, but never actually doing what she said.
You should have this selection of wine and beer. Okay,
doesn't do it. You should do this for the tables, Okay,
doesn't do it.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
That's so funny.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
You should say this Okay, doesn't do it. Okay, she's
just caring, irl.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Uh, huh ah, sure, that's maybe the best way to
do it, because then she feels like she's getting hurd
but you're not actually doing any of it.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Thanks do this, Grandma, Oh, bother this, Grandma. This method
was rather effective at times. However, as she felt she
wasn't getting her way or nagging got her worners, she
became more bold and started calling caterers and Flora's to
change my parents' plans. Guys, and that's why we have
what passwords? Passwords. That's why we have passwords with our floras,
(19:48):
our caterers, everyone for our weddings.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Passwords because you don't know who's after you. Anyone could
be after you at all times. Watch your back. You're
not safe.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
What's safe? Always have passwords for your caterers. I'm gonna
get reading the story and we'll fix so far.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I'm gonna cool down.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
My mom and my dad had told them ahead of time.
Don't change anything unless you hear it from us. After
a few calls of fighting, arguing and shouting, she stopped,
mostly because my dad threatened to uninvite her if she
kept going cat this. Her nagging went from the wedding
workers to him. She nagged him so much that he
had to go to er for severe migraines and headaches twice.
(20:31):
What it was that bad? Yea yea goodness gracious.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I mean, if she's just in your ear going, come on,
you have do this? You do this, I mean, need
more of anc And it's like, oh my god, I
have headache.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I'm done, I'm done, I'm out of there. So finally
the wedding came. It was going to happen the way
my parents wanted. She could make petty comments and remarks,
but she wasn't going to ruin this day for my mom.
Well Dot Dot, as you all know, she's the pain
and the old rooster. So you could have probably see
this coming from a mile away. She wore a wedding
(21:03):
dress to the wedding.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Grandma, this is the ultimate.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Thing that you cannot do. What did we not wear
a wedding Sophia's wedding dresses? And what else?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
White?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Whitch? We never wear whites, no matter if the bride
tells you, no matter if the groom tells you, no
matter whoever tells you, never wear whites. It ain't that hard,
and no one told you? And why this is not
your wedding. Are you gonna get married to your son? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
You freak, you freak.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
This is the worst thing you can do.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
I'm back, I'm back.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I'm so big now, Sofia Sophia Sophia. In fact, Grandma
with the same wedding dress. She had one in my
mom to wear. She even arrived with a little entourage
of guests, also in wedding dresses.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
She brought a clue. She pulled up with the entourage. Grandma,
how do you have any friends? How do you have
any friends? Grandma? No one seems to like you. How
did you find these friends? Did you pay for them? Grandma?
Be honest, did you pay for these friends? Because that's embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
She brought a group, she brought the autogy cool. Also,
if we're going by your standards, you should be wearing
wide at a wedding.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Either it's true, go we're red, we're black. It's somebody's funeral,
It's true.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
That would have been pretty iconic.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
My dad took one look at them, walked away and
had her friends punted out. Grandma stayed because trying to
punt her out would have caused the cops to be
called and more headaches. Than they wanted. The wedding continued,
but Grandma wasn't allowed in photos. That was my dad's
first wedding. My mom says divorcing my father was such
a relief because she could finally get away from his
(22:30):
crappy mother. My dad, on the other hand, is stuck
with her until she passes away. So this is new life.
So the lady was that he was with is his
new mom.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Stepmom got you, and so she seems like a little
bit more reasonable than this other mother.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I wonder if they got divorced because of like the mom.
Probably Also, if I took this back to my room,
do you think anyone would notice? No, because Sam fought
me on this so hard.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
It's not even in the other like the studio.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I might take it back.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Wait, go to your full thing.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Even in the camera.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Guys. Sam wanted this to be in here for so long.
He thoughted, I got this for free, and he had,
and he bought me another one is good. No, that
one's fun. It's just this is mine. Didn't he give
it to you this one? No, April gave this to me. Ah, yeah,
and then he took it from me and put it
in here. He would go in my room, take it
and put it in.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I thought that's originally him.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
No, no, no, I got it. I originally did try
to give to him. He didn't want his room, so
I put in my room. I see. So his new wife,
my step mom, my dad, and my step mom got
engaged during New Year's of twenty nineteen, twenty twenty. They
planned on a one year engagement, mostly because they wanted
to get it over with since they've been together for
about eight to nine years. Getting married at this point
(23:40):
was just formality to tie things together. Would they announce
the date? They said it for Grandma's birthday.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
No one likes Grandma. Moral of the story, Grandma sucks
and they're gonna make sure that she gets what she deserves.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, okay, everyone's like, what is it? Okay, can you
zoom out? It's a lamp. You just zoom out. We're
gonna have to zoom out.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Look, wait, put on me.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
It's a lamp.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
See it's a lamp.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
It was really nice. It's really nice.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
All right, she's a lamp.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Sorry, it's like, it's not even in here. It's just
for the vibes of the room.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
When they announced the date. They said it for grandma's birthday. Okay,
this is the worst thing you could do to yourselves.
Why don't you do that? She was ecstatic at first,
until she realized her birthday would have to be shared
in private. She witched to her gaggle of cronies about
the wedding being on her birth.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah, it's on purpose, it's on purpose.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
The VID hit and the wedding got pushed back to
twenty twenty two with a different date her next birthday instead,
it was now on my step mom's mom's birthday. Are
you doing on people's birthday? Yeah? Yeah, Well what's up
with this? There were other days in the year. Yeah,
her mom had long past. They figured this was a
good way to include her. All right, makes sense now,
Q the new usual nagging. How dare she make it
(24:53):
about her mother? By this point, my dad had grown
a backbone and started putting his mom in his place.
Maybe it's just so sobriety.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
What's that like when you don't drink, like being soberty,
sobriety liberty.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Maybe it was his sobriety, or maybe it was because
he'd been through one wedding and wasn't about to go
through a third Grandma tried her usual tactics, trying to
butt in and make things about her. It had to
be her way, but with a few tongue lashes, it
stopped until it came to me. Over the VID, I
gained about fifty pounds due to stress and pain. I
(25:27):
had a lot going on that resulted in me being overweight.
Since then, I've been turning that weight into muscle. But then,
back then, I still had a lot of muscle definition.
In fact, I had huge, swimmer shoulders, which made it
difficult to find some dresses. My stepmom wanted simple black
dresses for us. We could decide the style. It just
had to be black with open shoulders. I coordinated with
(25:48):
my stepsister to make sure we got the same dress. Grandma, however,
wanted me to get a different dress. When that was
freely not black, gold, even cream, I immediately decline. I
knew what she was trying to do. The only reason
she was even dress shopping with me was because I
was thirteen, couldn't drive. She's trying to trick you, and
didn't have my step mom's card like she did. I
(26:10):
picked out the same dress as my stepsister and got
it in black. It needed to be special to order
since it didn't have my size. They had one smaller
and one bigger, so I was able to try those
on and get approximate fit. Grandma did not like the dress.
Who would have thought?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Who could have thunk? She's like, it doesn't look like
a wedding dress enough, and then I need you to
bring me along and we're gonna steal all of the
spotlight from the wedding. You're part of my plan, now,
Kata Rainsa's get Grammy a blog or something with all
of them opinions.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yo, literally, yeah, she canna be like that dog. What
dog dog with a blog?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Dog with a blog?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Throw back Clinton Clinton. Grandma did not like the dress.
It was simple, flowy skirt that hit the ankles and
the buoyance crossed over for a little design. For the
most part, it was modest. The only thing really shown
was my face on arms. Grandma didn't like that my
arms were exposed because people could see my strawberry skin
and my muscles. She said it made me look like
(27:11):
a man, like a lock.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
That's like a compliment, like like, oh yeah, let's see them. Like, hey, thanks, Grandma,
I've been working out.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Thanks, I've been actually working on myself. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
How about you? What you look like? A look like
the hunchback of Notre Dame.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Dang going cross keyon. He'll call you out like like
you look? She said, it made me look like a man,
like a log. She told me I was too fat
for it. While she put me down, I didn't care.
I sent a picture to my stepmom and she loved it.
I told Grandma this was the dress we were going with,
and that was final. When we put in the order ticket,
she tried to order a different style in the color
(27:47):
she wanted. I'd already talked to the worker beforehand and
warned them, hey, she's gonna pull this. You put down
what I say, not what she says, because she will
ruined this wedding. I don't think the worker took me
seriously at first until they saw how Grandma was acting. Finally,
the dress shopping was done, and then it was to
shoe shopping. And you think maybe the dress was the
hardest part. Right, we got done doing dress shopping.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
It's gonna get harder.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Getting shoes isn't gonna be that bad, right.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
This is the peak. This is the climax, the hill
that you're gonna die on, that you're gonna pass away on.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
I believe it. My stepmom had specific style of mind.
Black flats with a pointed toe, easy, you would think, right.
In general, I have trouble finding shoes. I wear size
six and women's, but I have white feet, so it's
a struggle. We had to go to three different shoe
stores to just find a pair. Grandma was angry it
made weird comments about my feet. Don't know why, Like
I have my dad's fat feet, but my mom's shoes eyes.
(28:42):
She finds the weirdest things to comment about. After shopping,
Grandma wanted to get lunch. I didn't, so I told
her I had an obligation. She then proceeded to call
me a disappointment for not thinking of my grandmother, saying
she hadn't seen me in a while and that she
deserved to have dinner with her grand kit.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
It seems like you don't like your ranket though, you know,
But I guess like if you hate everyone, you gotta
take what you can get, and right now, she's only
got familial obligation as a way to get people to
hang out with her.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah, gosh, dude, I walked home. I didn't want to
deal with her, and then the shopping plaza was barely
a mile away. A few weeks later, my dress arrived
and we needed to go back to get it himned.
I planned on just going with my mom, but in
true grandma fashion, she butt in and took me instead.
I simply bowed my head took things instride. At the time,
(29:30):
I was experimenting with my hair, I talked with my
stepmom about how she wanted it. Since I was planning
on cutting off a lot of length and dying it.
My Stepmam was like, I don't nothing care, do what
you want. So I got this boyish cut and died
it whol red to match my mom. Grandma did not
like this. Oh no, she did not.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
She didn't.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
She said I looked even more like a man and
a log. Uh a log, that's what she said. Earlier.
You looked like I am in a log in that dress.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Hope you can't catch a break with his grandma. Man.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
She called me a slur and the to know why
I had done something so drastic without her, without consulting her.
Now I'm curious that.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
She's being homophoony. It was probably called her a deesler
because she's saying that she looks like a man. Notice phobia,
Grandma not cool.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I thought it was something with the red hair ginger. Yeah,
isn't that a slur? No, noted, that's not a slur. Guys.
I took in her comments about my hair and stride
and ignored her. One of the most positives of being deaf,
I just can turn off my hair. Notes. Oh, this
was also deaf.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Oh, you're just like, she's like running away. You're like,
uh huh uh.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
She's like, dude, that's crazy. It's also crazy. Didn't mention
it earlier? Right? Yeah? She never?
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I mean, I guess it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Religiant until now. Dang. Finally I didn't have to see
her again until the wedding. Once everything was finalized, I
was done dealing with her. The wedding day arrived, Grandma
complained about the decorations, saying everything was too vintache. She
complained that the hotel wasn't a church. How dare my
stepmom not getting married in the church. It was held
at the Landmark in American, Michigan. If you're wondering, I
(30:56):
ignored her comments and didn't bother telling my dad or stem.
I just wanted things to go smoothly. We went to
get our hair done and while I was in the chair,
I could hear my grandma complaining about how I destroyed
my hair. My step mom shut her up and change
the subject. Nice step mom, she's batting for you.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Man.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
She's like, you know what fought up, Grandma, that's my
that's my stepdaughter. Shut up.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
During the wedding, everything was real, definitely quiet with her.
A few comments here and there, but she was almost nice.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
She's about to start something, man, she's planning something.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
She almost said, you look great, Opie.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
She was like, you look, you look OPI. She was like,
you know what, that's the nicest thing she's ever said
to me.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
You look. Oh, that's great.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
During the wedding, what it came, Kimberly finds this is
get rid of the most vintage thing. Grandma.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yeah, bye uh dust in the wind.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Just when it came time to put on the dress,
we realized I had the wrong size pancy hose. We
had accidentally bought a child's sign to large instead of
a women's large. Ooh, it would be quite it's embarrassing.
I was like remembering the times to put panti hoose
in my head as a kid while doing my mom's laundry,
and we were like, we're gonna rob you.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I did it, guys, I did it. She's back. I
did it.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I was just going to go without them, since the
skirt was long enough, but grandma offered me a pair
of hers with the comment, I highly doubt they'll fit
someone in your size, but you can try. They fit.
The wedding went smoothly. She didn't wear white, but she
dressed like she was going to a funeral. Uh, I
can't believe my son an extremist grandmother here.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah, she's like, I only do white and black. Okay,
I'll do this great, you can have you can have
funeral or me also going to the wedding as the
bride and that's it. Take your pick. I don't do color, okay.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
As if she were mourning and not attending her son's wedding.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
And Bellas's butter pantiose, they're like, uh, sheer tights I got,
or like like nude tights basically like clearer tights.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
What I thought everyone had, how every woman had no
do you have them.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
No, I have tights. I don't have like pantyhose are
usually thinner. It's just to kind of give you like
a nice color, like smooth, alright, smoothness on your legs.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Do you think all guys have a necklace with a
ring on it, a tie? Okay, a hat?
Speaker 2 (33:22):
True? Probably.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
At the reception, she made a few comments about how
I wasn't ladylike, you know, how I should have ordered
the oh little you know, she dropping hints there, opey.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Little did she know?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
And how I should have ordered the salmon instead of
the steak, and I went on quietly. The reception was
supposed to last until eleven pm, with an hour for cleanup.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
That's such a weird that she's like, it's not a
lady night to eat steak, must eat salmon.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Yeah, dude, I'm killing it. Man, you are killing it.
I just made me think of man because she likes
eating steak. I make and I missed or no, sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was just thinking of women
eating steak, and it takes I had to cookie gut
some one thing about me. I tend to go to
bed early around eight to nine pm, since we were
staying in the hotel. It wasn't like I had to
walk or drive anywhere. I mentioned wanted to go back
(34:08):
to the room to sleep, and my grandma denied me. Guys,
we will not deny you more stories just like this.
Where do you have to go, Sophia for more stories
like this?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Spotify, Apple podcast.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Or iHeartRadio or does the magic word they have to
type for their keyboard?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Okay, story time.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
And what will be waiting for them right there?
Speaker 2 (34:27):

might hear different voices, but we're all in your head.
And yes, we're real people.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
We're real We're real people.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Okay, Yes, and any thoughts about this grandma?
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Dude, this grandma is a nightmare. I would just like, honestly,
I would limit the amount of time you have to
talk to her. Yeah, Like, no one likes sir, so
can we just go kind of low contact?
Speaker 1 (34:53):
I think that might be the best thing to do here.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah, she's just so exhausting.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Yeah, I don't get married as much too. Oh wait
and get married.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Don't get married so much. Don't invite her to the weddings.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
I mean, you've had to go through this twice.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Eventually ten thirty rolled around and I was cranky and exhausted.
I've been awake since five am, about thirty am and
just wanted to sleep, so look someone I know. Grandma
finally told me I ought to be grateful to be
part of this wedding, that I should learn to be
more lady like now I should just stood up. Took
me crying and begging before my stepmom stepped in and
told her to give me a room key so I
could go to bed. Finally changed and went to sleep,
(35:28):
only to have the worst night of the rest of
my life because Grandma kept waking me up, woke me
up at eleven, helped clean, and then almost every day
hour after that, tell me to turn around, tell me
to stop snoring. I was exhausted and I and slept
the entire seven and a half hour car ride home.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Leave this girl alone, yeah, yeah, please leave her alone.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Apart from her, everything else in the wedding was beautiful
and fantastic. Thank you for hearing my ranting. I apologizing
for femanting, spelling. Dyslexia and all that jazz as a
dyslexic person was probably the easiest story I've read all week.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Surprised. Man, oh man, God, dude, your grandma is a stinker.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
There's a special place for this grandma. Don't nowhere the DMV.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Oh wow, that's the worst thing.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
You know.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
I think this grandma does deserve to like sit at
DMV for three d days.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Which she just has to stay at the DMV. That's
her punishment.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
She just has to sit there and wait and get
hurt and then get her license.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
And they call her up and they're like, oh, you're
missing some documents, so you have to go back and
get them.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
And she's like what And she goes back, comes back.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
And she does the test and she misses it by
one question.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
It's just like and they're like sorry and again.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Guys have got some more stories here. Whoa Josephine Mandlo

Speaker 2 (38:07):
That's terrible.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
This is not true, not true groundhog Day, but the DMV. Okay,
I'll take that.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
That sounds awful.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Oh my god, groundhog Day with the DMV.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
But you could just leave the DMB Randy, Joe. Would
it be okay for you to show the drawings, show
chat the drawings? Yeah, you can show chat the drawings.
Oh do you want us to?
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Let's do it. Hey, it's sam' your og host here
bring it back to the stories. But here's three minutes
bads from our sponsor, and then I won't need memory.
My in law's treat me like garbage. So we moved away.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
They're taking theirselves out of the equation.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Ye take the trash out. So back in twenty twenty two,
we moved out of state where my family and most
of my husband's family lived, to another state to be
closer to his evil dad and the weicked witch of
the West. By the way, this comes from Kate the
Great on the ar slash Shoky Storytime Separate it. So
we packed up everything and our baby girl to relocate
(39:02):
to be closer to family who we thought cared about us.
Will you lot hint we cared about you. Father in
law bought a condo in this state, one hour away
from his house to play bridge with old folks. He
said we could live there with the stipulation that we
had to attend monthly finance classes, which he was in
charge of. We could disagree or agree with any advice given,
(39:22):
we just had to attend, and the father in law
did that okay. At first father in law agreed to
pay to break our lease and cover all moving costs.
It slipped his mind the week of the move, but
my husband let it go because he just wanted everything
to start with a clean slate. I, however, kept a
mental note of it. The day of our move, after
packing the huge moving truck, our car, and our baby,
we started on our way for a several hour car
(39:45):
ride to the condo. We were ten minutes away from
our new home when we hydroplaned o. The accident was minor.
We just jumped a curb. No one was hurt and
the accident didn't involve any other cars. Note we are
one car family, so my s SO doesn't drive for
personal reasons. This has never bothered me and never will
because I get extremely carsick if I'm not buying the wheel.
(40:06):
We finally get home unpacked, call insurance, et cetera. We
had to drive a rental for one month as my
car is getting fixed. At the first financial meeting, my
father in law lays into me about how if I
hadn't used Google Maps and followed his directions and shed
that the action would have ever happened.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
I will agree with that Google Maps is kind of
whack sometimes, but how would that?
Speaker 2 (40:26):
How does that even make sense? The hydroplane, they didn't
take a wrong turn.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Guess who knows about puddles in the road? Apple? Apple
Maps ways it detects puddles on the road.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
I'm trying to remember if Apples ever does.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I was like, what, ye okay, because they have apple
and apples come from water, so thus they know where
all the water is in the roads.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Interesting, dang, I could have gotten away with it, Yeah,
I was like, whattect bottles? He said? There are only
two people I will never ride with in a car again,
my eighty three year old mom and you meaning me.
I'm a twenty six year old female who drives a
manual and I've been driving since I could get behind
the wheel of a car.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
Dude, sounds like baby driver to me.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Yeah, Oh he's you doubt my driving. My husband and
I were shocked. Bada Lah continued to say, oh, I
needed to stop being a stay at o mom. I
could stop being lazy and actually help my husband earn
money for our household. He also said, there's no reason
for Zzodor not to drive. He needs his license. This
pile of crab a person did not hold back, just
been on and on about how it's my fault. We
(41:25):
had to pay a thousand plus dollars on a car
rental car repairs, uber fees, et cetera for the last
month because of the accident. The insurance company and my
husband both said that I did everything to prevent what happened.
I was even going way below the speed limit while
it was raining. It was, without a doubt, one hundred
percent out of my control. Any who, the meeting ends
with not much else said, and they leave. One of
(41:46):
the other rules to us living in their new space
is that we can't bring out one and a half
year old into the complex pool well because that wasn't
ridden in our lease and it's not in the building
some lease. I decided, after this one sided sc reming match,
to do it anyway. Keep in mind, we did have
a twelve month written lease with father in law and
the building his condo is in. So I take her
(42:07):
daughter swimming as a quiet f you because he's not
gonna know. It's fine. One day, I'm uploading photos on
our family shared album and accidentally add a photo of
us at the pool. Oh did you told on yourself?
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (42:22):
My father in law instantly calls myso and curses him out, saying, oh,
I'm disrespectful and ungrateful that I did this on purpose,
and that I'm now, after just one kicked out of
all the financial meetings because I can't be trusted. Thank goodness.
I didn't want to get crap on or listen to
his crap anyway. So life goes on with a slap
of the wrist and no more pool. That is according
(42:44):
to my father in law. I keep going anyways, nice,
just don't send him more pictures of shit. I have
since befriended most of the neighbors we have, all elderly,
all nice. Everyone simply adores our baby and everything is
going good. One day, I'm in the lobby library reading
talking to the president of h AWAY and that there's
been light miscommunication about the pool and baby. She laughs,
probably because she's gone swimming up with us multiple times
(43:07):
and asks what's going on. Well, the flood gates open.
I tell her everything, leaving no stone unturned. I had
extreme postpartum depression, so I was extremely emotional at the time,
in a news state, with no friends and no knowledge
about the area we were in. She was shocked. She said,
at the next HOA meetings she would cast a vote
for the only rule written in nineteen seventy nine. No joke.
(43:28):
They have an edited leases in that long regarding small children.
It literally says no children in regular diapers can enter
the pool. She said. My grandchildren come over all the
time with swim diapers. Oh well, this rule was written
before swim diapers were widely circulated. Of course, you're all welcome.
This was like a breath of fresh air.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
Okay, we're starting to see a little lot a tone.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
So fast forward another month. My s O and father
in law are having their first solo meeting. Apparently the
HOA president caught father in law on his way up
the elevator and cleared the air about the pool situation.
When he arrived at our door, he grabbed us out,
took him on the back deck, then laid into him
like there was no tomorrow, stating that he thought he
made himself perfectly clear. There was to be no more
swimming at all by anyone. Now, by anyone. Now, you
(44:11):
can't tell them to not swim at the You don't
own the pool. You literally don't own the pool. You
can't tell them not to swim.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
Hey, it's John here, og host of the show. We're
gonna get back to these juicy stories. But here's a
quick three minutes of ads from our sponsors. What is
this person's like authority over the pool?
Speaker 2 (44:28):
Again, he's the land he's so this is their father
in law who is the landlord?
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Got it okay?
Speaker 2 (44:33):
But there is like I think it's like they own
a complex or they own a what's the word, uh,
not an apartment, but at no like you know when
you can own like a bil like a specific apartment
in the complex whatever that's called. I can't remember the word,
but it seems like that's the situation. And then the
complex has its own pool. But he isn't on the pool?
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Weird?
Speaker 2 (44:53):
Did I care? No? Because legally, by either lease, he
had no grounds to a victis from the property he
was letting us rend so hat. He was so red
with anger, but I was too, mixed drinks ahead of
him and feeling pretty great. Like I had condo. Thank you,
that was the word I was looking for.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
We're looking for condo. I thought you just said condo.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
No, I said complex. Condo is the word I was
looking for, Like I had just won the first of
many family fights. As more and more crazy things like
that started to unfold, my husband slowly started to be
on my side. Finally. You would think that he would
have realized, you know, that his father was being crazy
way before. In their little meetings, his dad continued to
crap on me for not having a job. Oh, she
(45:32):
could work from home. It's not like she's been doing
anything during the day anyway, It would be easy, says
father in law. Oh, I'm sorry. He is cooking breakfast, lunch, dinner,
making baby food, cleaning the house, making sure our budget
not the crappy came up with is follow grocery shopping,
doing laundry, dishes, and spending time teaching and loving our
baby not enough for you. I think this is the
husband saying that or something. No tough crap. Husband and
(45:54):
I actually already agreed that I would be a stay
at o mom and take care of literally everything else
since we could afford it, ask forward more time, and
we've been living at this place for only six months.
Father in law gives husband homework for meetings that are
all based on hypothetical nonsense, not even related to our
real income or real budget changes due to due dates,
tells his son he isn't serious about anything, and ends
(46:15):
up cursing him out via email because we are stealing
from them, We are ungrateful for anything that has been
given to us, and we're both lazy sacks of crap
and that we're horrible, terrible parents. Dude, If that doesn't
show the your husband how crazy his.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
Dad is, will you're blind?
Speaker 2 (46:31):
At this point, they are sick of us, and we're
sick of them. Keep in mind that didn't pay for moving,
breaking lease, moving on later, and we were paying them rent.
We never asked for anything. Ever. All meetings put to
an end and we decide to move out asap because
we can't stand another word from this human being. So
we move again, have to stay within this new state
because my husband's new job is here. After other instances,
(46:53):
lots of abuse and therapy, my husband and I are
still doing great in our marriage and feel sorry for them.
But from a long time distance and from a short
distance or a long distance, you can listen to full
episodes of stories just like this. Just go to Spotify,
Apple Podcast, or your favorite podcast app and search up. Okay,
story time, But there is a tenC bit left of
the story. But do you have any thoughts?
Speaker 1 (47:14):
Katrina Rain, He's a control freak, Terra Rain, Terra Rain,
He's a control freak.
Speaker 2 (47:19):
Yeah, it's just kind of crazy that he thinks that.
Like I understand if he has certain rules about his condo,
but he can't make rules about a public pool. He
can tell oh P the rules for the public pool,
but it's really just up to the whoever's managing the pool,
hence the word public.
Speaker 3 (47:34):
Yeah, dude, yeah, can he can have his rules. Just
keep him to himself.
Speaker 2 (47:37):
Yeah, keep keep your hands for yourself easiest. There have
since been things that I've been said in issues with
these awful people, even one point where father in law
contacted the FBI to report us for swimming even longer story,
both of us can just laugh at all this and
don't regret anything. We have zero contact with them for
about a year now. Honestly probably a good idea. Feels great.
(47:58):
We are still on the same state, but no or
near them. They can keep that to Lulu, far far away.
So all of this to say, I know crazy is
crazy and it will come out eventually. But am I
the ale for starting and being petty after I was
crapped on in the first meet And that is the
end of that story, not the aoil. Your in laws are.
Speaker 1 (48:16):
Wacky and you and you deserve to live a loo life.
Speaker 2 (48:19):
You deserve to swim with your child.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
Oh everyone should have a pol day man.

this episode.

This is John, this is Sam, your og Okay storytime
podcast hosts, and.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We have some spectacular stories coming up.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
But real quick, we got a two minute break from
our lovely sponsors keeping this ship sailing. My brother had
a cancer scare, but my entitled grandmother managed to make
it all about her.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It's not always about you, Grandma.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Hello, I'm new here and have many stories to share
about my grandma. She is a C word. To put
it simply, I have many words. I have many stories
to share about her, some my own and some of
my mom's. She was the definition of a mother in
law from h double Honkey Sticks. But that's not here
or there. But I do have a story that is
making my blood boil. She will now be called eg
(00:43):
entitled Grandma. We're gonna call her grandma because I refuse
to acknowledge her as my flesh and blood. Okay, maybe
we should have a different name for eg I'm just
gonna say grandma for simplicity.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Grandmama, Grandma, Grandmama.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
By the way, this comes from Acrobatic Bug sixty four
and if you want to your own stories, go to
slash Okay story. I'm spread him so recently, my brother
twenty two, Mail developed a strange lump in his neck
he had This had been a month long ordeal, So
I will begin at the beginning. Upon receiving this news,
my brother first reaction was just to call my mother
and dad, allowing them to spread the news if they
(01:17):
wanted to. My mom told her mom so they could
send him food, clothes, money, et cetera. My grandmother didn't
become aware of this until about a week or so
we got mostly because she wasn't going to do anything
but pester. After the initial acknowledgment of the possibility of cancer,
she proceeded to call my brother and yell at him
for not telling her first. How could you not tell
(01:38):
me about your cancer?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I wanted nobody your cancer for like, you're so selfish?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
She accused him of being selfish.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Oh that's crazy, what a wild thing, desay.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
For keeping this diagnosis from her. A nurse?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Oh oh what she gonna do?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Does she have the cure to cancer?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Boom and shit your mouth. I find this bit because
she's a CNA. No insults to CNA. You guys do
wonderful work. My family is a family of nurses and doctors. Heck,
my brother is going to medical school himself, not to
mention her being a nurse does not entitle her to
know personal information about us. We didn't want to tell
extended family yet because we weren't sure if it was
(02:16):
cancerous or assist. We didn't want to create unnecessary worry.
Throughout the month, she had been calling and texting him
non stop. When he didn't respond, she would blow up
my phone and my brother's phone. I don't live with
my brother, and admittedly I don't how much contact with him,
so I don't know why she called me forty five
times within two days. That is basically one time per hour, forty.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Five times within two days.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Those are rookie numbers. Skip those up.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Oh my goodness, gracious.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I had to block her number so I could get
through school without my phone constantly buzzing in my pocket.
She finally stopped when my dad stepped in and forced
her to. We hadn't heard from her much during that time,
or at least so I thought. We had to go
over to where my dad had lived so my brother
could have it removed. Insurance problems were the reason we
couldn't stay in town. It was just supposed to be
(03:06):
my dad, My Mom and me. I was mostly there
for my mom because I didn't want her to be alone.
When we let family know, Grandma decided to call my
brother and demand he go to Mayo, Rochester for a
second opinion. We didn't even have the first opinion yet.
All we knew was that the lump had to be
taken out and had even been biopsed or sent to pathology.
(03:29):
She kept insulting the hospital we were going to and
claiming that Rochester was so much better. It was not.
It was just further. We were going to Bellend or
infony by Bellend. This made my dad angry because he
works at the hospital and it's Bellund. My dad called
her and told her to shut the f up silence.
We were hoping that would be it. Guess what, guys,
(03:50):
it never is. It wasn't, of course not. It wasn't
the end. The initial trip was supposed to be a
three and a half day trip, even Tuesday night for
the hospital and leaving Friday afternoon. It was just going
to be the four of us. However, in true Grandma fashion,
she decided to butt into the situation once more. She
announced on Facebook, of all places, that she will be
(04:11):
going to her grand baby surgery to be there for
him and that they should pray for her, not him.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
She's like, pray for me that I may get through
these trying times, not anyone else. This is gonna be
really think of a praying for my son.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, this is gonna be really hard on me. Like,
I'm gonna have to watch him be in bed. I'm
just gonna be at a hospital for three and a
half days. That's tough.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
She's like, I'll vlog from inside. I'll text you guys updates.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
We were not aware she was coming until that announcement
a day before we had to leave. We stood up
and just tried to keep things nice and stress free
for my brother. When we arrived, it was smooth at first.
First night, we got dinner and discuss plans for the
next day. My brother had a CT at nine fifteen
and then a consultant for surgery at eleven thirty. Afterwards,
we were going to wander around the city and enjoy ourselves.
(04:55):
The first part of our plans went well. We got
up to breakfast and then went to the CT appointment.
I was originally going to meet my stepmom there and
we were going shopping and getting some things for post surgery. However,
grandmother met us at the hospital. At the first appointment,
she began demanding to take my mom's spot in the
appointment room, saying she had a lot more right to
be there in that room because she knew more than
(05:18):
my mom did.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
What what that's like, that's so stupid. That logic makes
no sense. Like, if someone's sick, only the nearest doctor
in your family is the only one that could be
in there. Yeah, it's like, Mom, you can't be in there.
My third cousin is a doctor, so so yeah, hierarchy, hierarchy,
he's got to be in there.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
It go. It doesn't go by closeness. It goes by education.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Doctor. She should experience. I'm a doctorate.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
If you had a doctor, you could do anything.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I could do anything.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Man, I can give people druggs. You got to do that. Now.
I don't want to follow this footsteps step whose footsteps?
I don't think she knows. My mother the mother of
my brother. Before my mom could say anything, my brother
put his foot down, which shut Grandma up for a bit.
She pouted in the corner while my brother and my
parents went into the appointment with him. The appointment took
(06:10):
about an hour or so. My stepmom and I began
getting ready to go shopping for a bit, catching up
and deciding where to go. Grandma stepped in and demanded
that we stay, wanna buy here alone. We denied her,
saying that we wanted it to just be us and
I had seen my stepmom in a while. Then the
conversation took a turn for the worst. She began calling
me a disappointment for not thinking of my grandmother and
how I was just such an ungrateful brat. She ran
(06:32):
it about how she would be alive to spend another
moment with her grandmother, and how I never know she
might just drop passed away. She might just drop, She
just might drop. She started demanding why I didn't defend
her and why I blocked her. I was not a
good mood after years of abuse from this hag that
burnt out of high school, and the fact that it
(06:53):
was nine o'clock in the morning. I simply replied in
with a short tone, if you dropped passed away right now,
I couldn't care less, turned on my heel with my
mom and went shopping.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Oo, hope you did like a little If you passed
away right now. I couldn't care less she did like
a she did like a passed away drop.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Would you gift dead people?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Would you gift them just a joke?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Where they're going shopping? So she could probably pick up
Grandma something I could he for, like some coffin ear rings.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
You can you give her some flowers through your grave.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Exactly after the CT we decided to go out as
a family until the next appointment. Grandma took this opportunity
to take control. She started directing us places where she
wanted to go, places she thought my brother would like,
and she kept asking my brother to buy things for her.
The brother was cancer, because apparently this situation was just
as hard on her as it was my brother. What,
(07:44):
oh my lord, hey, can you buy me something? Why
are we telling our grandkids to buy us stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Amy something? Because your cancer is really it is really
bringing me down.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
That makes no sense at all none. My step mom
and I double teamed Grandma whenever she started pestering my
brother over the smallest things, like she wasn't allowed in
the appointment, We separated them quickly and into the conversation
before it escalated. Finally, it was time for the second
appointment instead of shopping, I sent the appointment time doing
school work, and I was missing a few days. Not
(08:16):
to mention, I was emotionally drained from trying to parent
a boomer. Grandma started pestering me, though this time she
was a bit nicer, asking about school and such. I'd
bean talking about my plans for senior year in college.
She then started trying to tell me what I should
do with my life, that I should follow my father's footsteps,
become a respiratory therapist or something better. Yet, a CNA
(08:37):
like her told her no, that I planned to become
either a psychologist or a physical therapist. That was final.
She pouted and then started telling me what classes I
should take for my senior year, insisting my schedule would
be too hard for me. She said that sometimes it
was a bit of a slow and might not be
able to handle calculus and physics. At the same time,
I've been my tongue and ignored her. She got angry
(08:59):
at me for ignoring her, and all that could muster
was this is why no one wants you around.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Oh he is not taking any freaking crap man, Dude,
you this is why you should just go ahead and
drop dead. She would say that though she did she
did say that though. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
That shut her up for a while. Finally, lunchtime came
and we went to my brother's restaurant. Choice. Dude, it's
now lunch.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Dang, you got a long day. He's just now lunch.
Oh my god, you got ahead of you.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Oh. Grandma complained about the restaurant and then tried to
tell us what to order. When she heard I had
ordered enchiladas, she started ranting about my cholesterol and wait, saying,
you know, a fat pete is a bad pete. I
move seats, leaving her alone at the end of the table.
When the waiter came, she tried to change my order
to a salad. Mom stepped in and told her to
(09:52):
shut the f up.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Nobody likes his grandma. I love that. Everyone's just like,
shut you up, Grandma, grandma. And the girl was like,
no one is dealing with this Grandma's crap. Man. The
Grandma's like, you should change your career to mine, and
everyone's like, shut up, Jesus, Grandma.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
We're treating her like Jerry from Parks and rec But
she deserves this. My dad gave her the glare of doom.
She finally shut up. That night, she pestered me to
stay at her hotel. I refused, not wanting to leave
my mom alone. She tried to drag me away by arm,
calling me a brat. I pulled away and called her
an effing hag. The next day we learned she had
(10:32):
gone home because she knows when she's not wanted. Doubtful,
she sent us all a long string of text saying
how disappointed she wasn't us for not respecting her, and
how stressed she was about my brother's possible cancer. I
ignored her. The rest of the trip went well. My
brother surgery went well. Luckily, it was just bingeing benign.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I didn't know where you were looking.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Luckily it was just benign. Were you thinking sure, I don't.
I don't know. I just I just did my best
of trying to say it. Yeah, I was gonna say
ben Gwynn like penguin. Benguin. That was my first guest
when I knew that was absolutely nice.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
It means that it's it's not harmful. There's malignant, malignant
tumors and benign tumors.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Now he has a wicked scar from where his lyft
node was removed and I still have grandmother blocked. Guys.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah, some of the teacher YO says, I can't imagine
this type of relationship with a grandparent. True, like everyone
hates his grandma so much?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
What caused her to be so?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
But because I feel like sometimes you have a relationship
with the like we read stories where grandparents terrible and
one person's like, oh, like, no one gets it. Everyone
keeps telling you nice, my grandma, But every family member
in this story has been like, shut up, Grandma.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
And guys, this is just one part of Grandma trying
to make everything about herself. We have another update and
it is titled my Grandma tried to ruin the wedd
ink because it wasn't all about her. We got another
update after this incident. I mean, I know, op, he
blocked her, but what about the family, Like what does
the family do? Everyone blocks the grandma, really, everyone blocks Grandma.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Life alone by Grandma in silence.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Grandma just seems kind of annoying, hon it. Yeah, I
don't know if she's like everyone needs to block her
and she just sounds like really annoying. True, just like
ignore her a little bit a little bit, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know, I don't know. What
do you do? I mean, it's family. It's just like
the card you're dealt. You know.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
That's just because honest, they just invite her to everything
and rag on her.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Literally, she's just the butt of the joke.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Like she comes to every they're like, hey, Grandma, come over,
and then they're like, Grandma, you freaking stuck.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
No, it's in. We might have to have a conversation
about the next story. But guys, here's the next story.
This is the update to this about the same grandma,
Grandma mine syled grandmother tried to ruin the wedding because
it wasn't all about her.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Maybe Grandma needs to get married.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
My dad was around twenty seven and my mom twenty five.
They've been together for three years and wanted to tie
the knot. Grandma wasn't a big fan of my mom
from the beginning, mostly because my mom didn't let her
walk all over her to an extent, but also because
my mom had an ex fiancee and wasn't a virgin,
which is funny because neither was my dad.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, but she just hates women.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, Also, like does she know that?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Who was having that conversation, she was like, are you
a virgin? No. Pi's mom was like, uh, that's not
your business, and she's like, well, there we have it.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
There is I scared you. Opi.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
The Grandma's like, I am that doesn't make sense, Grandma,
I am.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yes, I am an acuta conception.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I'm the mother Mary, Mother Mary. It first began when
she ruined the proposal. My dad proposed a nice dinner
party with family involved, so everyone would be there. My
mom knew about the proposal because she had picked out
the rink, she just didn't know when it would happen.
Grandma thought it would be a good idea to spoil
the proposal by declaring my uncle's deployment date right after.
(13:50):
It didn't work. She got chewed out by my dad
later like, hey, these people are gonna get married. This
guy is out of here.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yeah. Yeah, they're like their Opie's dad is like, would
you make me the happiest man on earth? And Grandma's like,
he's gone to the army.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
This guy's going to Vietnam.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Mamma for him. You guys are getting married while this
man fights a war. And then they're like Grandmars, shut up.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Great time and great Tom and Grandma. However, throughout the dinner,
she was making sly comments about the ring being too
fancy and my mom being a shallow for wanting such
a nice rn. I've seen the ring. It's one diamond
with a twistman far from big, far from france fancy.
After my mom didn't react to the ring comments, she
began to go after my mom's weight, so so low.
(14:36):
She always goes after people's weights. The dinner was at
Double hockey Sticks, and when my parents went home, they
didn't talk much. Then the planning went to heck. My
mom and dad wanted to be married within a year
of the proposal, mostly due to finances and because my
mom wanted to start having children. My grandma disagreed they
were moving too fast, and when my mom mentioned her
(14:56):
plan for children, all of a sudden she was too
old for me having kids. Mind you, she even said
that if my mom wanted children, she should have stayed
with her ex fiance instead of marrying her son. Keep
in mind, my mom was twenty five and if they
got married, she'd be twenty six. Then Grandma began telling
her to stop pursuing her career because it would be
easier just to be stay at home wife, especially if
(15:18):
she want to get to My mom didn't stop her career.
She ended up just ignoring Grandma for the most part,
ignoring phone calls, texts, and messages, which calls Grandma to
have a conniption fit and go crying to my dad.
Here's the responts.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Okay, okay, oh Grandma.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Her behavior continued throughout the wedding planning. Everything had to
be her way. The church was never right, the arch,
the dates, the gas list. She tried to convince my
parents to push back their wedding to fit her and
her friends schedules, and when my mom denied her friends
from coming, she threatened not to attend. My parents budged
only slightly, mostly with the church because my mom wasn't
(15:53):
particularly attached to one. Grandma tried to convince them to
get married in her church. The problem my parents lived
in Chicken Up, well, my grandma lived in Wisconsin down.
The church was also incredibly small. It was a town
of under two thousand people. Yeah that's a small town,
dang man. While my mom and dad had a small
wedding with only family and a handful of friends, it
(16:16):
still wouldn't have fit my mom's side. Grandma witched and
moaned about not having the wedding at her church until
my grandpa shut her up, saying he'd go without her.
No one likes Grandma, Yeah, dude, Grandpa is not even having.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Everyone is so dumb with her crap.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Like, how do you entertain this? How do you stay
around this?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
But none of them they're just like, oh, Grandma, shut up, Grandma,
oh man.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Wedding dress shopping came around. My mom wanted simple pale
colors for bridesmaids and guests could wear neutral colors. The
wedding party was in pale greens and pinks to accent
her dress. She had a beautiful gown laced with a
puffy skirt and a veil of course, and floey sleeves.
Grandma didn't like the dress. My mom hadn't invited her
to dress shopping. She didn't invite her own mother either,
(17:02):
since she lived in Florida and just had her bridesmaids there.
Grandma was infuriated. How dare she not invite her own
mother in law? Well, technically you're not the mother in
law yet, and other technically you live very far away
and another technically I do like you.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
And there you have it. Facts from Riley, Facts from
Riley with glasses, Riley's alternate persona.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
I don't I don't know how to perceive you with glasses?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Where's my glasses?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Right?
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Glasses?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Show you a picture with me with glasses.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I could just get my glasses, but I would just
get up.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I'm gonna find.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Lucy Smith says, grandma doesn't like anything. Apparently your grandma's
got problems with everything, and everyone's just tired, just really
tired of it, tired of everything. Like what do you do?
What do you do with a like you? Just what
kind of life is it to be the grandma?
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Though?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
You know, it's so hard to be so milk Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
And everyone hates you, like that's such a sad life.
Even your own husband is sick of you. Honestly, I
feel bad for this grandma. I've seen Riley and glasses. Also,
that is the joke that you were wearing glasses and
you've seen Riley you slap her?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Didn't my mom know that my aunt never invited Grandma
to dress shopping either? Wonder why? And that she had
always dreamed of picking out a dress for her daughter
and daughter in law. My mom broke her heart and
she saw the dress. Her lips pursed, her eyes widened.
She began tarring into it, saying it made my mom
look like a witch, and how dare she wear white
(18:26):
and lie.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
To God years all the virgin talk again.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
She said it looked like it came out of the umpster,
that it didn't flatter her, that she'd looked like a sausage.
My mom was so close to returning the dress because
she no longer felt beautiful in it, And so my
grandma or mom dug into a entitled grandma and making
her go crying to my dad like a beaten puppy.
Title Grandma cooled down for a little while. She stopped
going after my mom and instead went after my dad.
(18:53):
For the most part, my dad has always been the quiet,
stoic type. His way of dealing with this Mom was
a green with her, but never actually doing what she said.
You should have this selection of wine and beer. Okay,
doesn't do it. You should do this for the tables, Okay,
doesn't do it.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
That's so funny.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
You should say this Okay, doesn't do it. Okay, she's
just caring, irl.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Uh, huh ah, sure, that's maybe the best way to
do it, because then she feels like she's getting hurd
but you're not actually doing any of it.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Thanks do this, Grandma, Oh, bother this, Grandma. This method
was rather effective at times. However, as she felt she
wasn't getting her way or nagging got her worners, she
became more bold and started calling caterers and Flora's to
change my parents' plans. Guys, and that's why we have
what passwords? Passwords. That's why we have passwords with our floras,
(19:48):
our caterers, everyone for our weddings.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Passwords because you don't know who's after you. Anyone could
be after you at all times. Watch your back. You're
not safe.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
What's safe? Always have passwords for your caterers. I'm gonna
get reading the story and we'll fix so far.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I'm gonna cool down.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
My mom and my dad had told them ahead of time.
Don't change anything unless you hear it from us. After
a few calls of fighting, arguing and shouting, she stopped,
mostly because my dad threatened to uninvite her if she
kept going cat this. Her nagging went from the wedding
workers to him. She nagged him so much that he
had to go to er for severe migraines and headaches twice.
(20:31):
What it was that bad? Yea yea goodness gracious.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I mean, if she's just in your ear going, come on,
you have do this? You do this, I mean, need
more of anc And it's like, oh my god, I
have headache.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I'm done, I'm done, I'm out of there. So finally
the wedding came. It was going to happen the way
my parents wanted. She could make petty comments and remarks,
but she wasn't going to ruin this day for my mom.
Well Dot Dot, as you all know, she's the pain
and the old rooster. So you could have probably see
this coming from a mile away. She wore a wedding
(21:03):
dress to the wedding.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Grandma, this is the ultimate.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Thing that you cannot do. What did we not wear
a wedding Sophia's wedding dresses? And what else?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
White?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Whitch? We never wear whites, no matter if the bride
tells you, no matter if the groom tells you, no
matter whoever tells you, never wear whites. It ain't that hard,
and no one told you? And why this is not
your wedding. Are you gonna get married to your son? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
You freak, you freak.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
This is the worst thing you can do.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
I'm back, I'm back.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I'm so big now, Sofia Sophia Sophia. In fact, Grandma
with the same wedding dress. She had one in my
mom to wear. She even arrived with a little entourage
of guests, also in wedding dresses.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
She brought a clue. She pulled up with the entourage. Grandma,
how do you have any friends? How do you have
any friends? Grandma? No one seems to like you. How
did you find these friends? Did you pay for them? Grandma?
Be honest, did you pay for these friends? Because that's embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
She brought a group, she brought the autogy cool. Also,
if we're going by your standards, you should be wearing
wide at a wedding.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Either it's true, go we're red, we're black. It's somebody's funeral,
It's true.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
That would have been pretty iconic.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
My dad took one look at them, walked away and
had her friends punted out. Grandma stayed because trying to
punt her out would have caused the cops to be
called and more headaches. Than they wanted. The wedding continued,
but Grandma wasn't allowed in photos. That was my dad's
first wedding. My mom says divorcing my father was such
a relief because she could finally get away from his
(22:30):
crappy mother. My dad, on the other hand, is stuck
with her until she passes away. So this is new life.
So the lady was that he was with is his
new mom.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Stepmom got you, and so she seems like a little
bit more reasonable than this other mother.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I wonder if they got divorced because of like the mom.
Probably Also, if I took this back to my room,
do you think anyone would notice? No, because Sam fought
me on this so hard.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
It's not even in the other like the studio.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I might take it back.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Wait, go to your full thing.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Even in the camera.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Guys. Sam wanted this to be in here for so long.
He thoughted, I got this for free, and he had,
and he bought me another one is good. No, that
one's fun. It's just this is mine. Didn't he give
it to you this one? No, April gave this to me. Ah, yeah,
and then he took it from me and put it
in here. He would go in my room, take it
and put it in.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I thought that's originally him.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
No, no, no, I got it. I originally did try
to give to him. He didn't want his room, so
I put in my room. I see. So his new wife,
my step mom, my dad, and my step mom got
engaged during New Year's of twenty nineteen, twenty twenty. They
planned on a one year engagement, mostly because they wanted
to get it over with since they've been together for
about eight to nine years. Getting married at this point
(23:40):
was just formality to tie things together. Would they announce
the date? They said it for Grandma's birthday.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
No one likes Grandma. Moral of the story, Grandma sucks
and they're gonna make sure that she gets what she deserves.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, okay, everyone's like, what is it? Okay, can you
zoom out? It's a lamp. You just zoom out. We're
gonna have to zoom out.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Look, wait, put on me.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
It's a lamp.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
See it's a lamp.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
It was really nice. It's really nice.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
All right, she's a lamp.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Sorry, it's like, it's not even in here. It's just
for the vibes of the room.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
When they announced the date. They said it for grandma's birthday. Okay,
this is the worst thing you could do to yourselves.
Why don't you do that? She was ecstatic at first,
until she realized her birthday would have to be shared
in private. She witched to her gaggle of cronies about
the wedding being on her birth.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah, it's on purpose, it's on purpose.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
The VID hit and the wedding got pushed back to
twenty twenty two with a different date her next birthday instead,
it was now on my step mom's mom's birthday. Are
you doing on people's birthday? Yeah? Yeah, Well what's up
with this? There were other days in the year. Yeah,
her mom had long past. They figured this was a
good way to include her. All right, makes sense now,
Q the new usual nagging. How dare she make it
(24:53):
about her mother? By this point, my dad had grown
a backbone and started putting his mom in his place.
Maybe it's just so sobriety.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
What's that like when you don't drink, like being soberty,
sobriety liberty.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Maybe it was his sobriety, or maybe it was because
he'd been through one wedding and wasn't about to go
through a third Grandma tried her usual tactics, trying to
butt in and make things about her. It had to
be her way, but with a few tongue lashes, it
stopped until it came to me. Over the VID, I
gained about fifty pounds due to stress and pain. I
(25:27):
had a lot going on that resulted in me being overweight.
Since then, I've been turning that weight into muscle. But then,
back then, I still had a lot of muscle definition.
In fact, I had huge, swimmer shoulders, which made it
difficult to find some dresses. My stepmom wanted simple black
dresses for us. We could decide the style. It just
had to be black with open shoulders. I coordinated with
(25:48):
my stepsister to make sure we got the same dress. Grandma, however,
wanted me to get a different dress. When that was
freely not black, gold, even cream, I immediately decline. I
knew what she was trying to do. The only reason
she was even dress shopping with me was because I
was thirteen, couldn't drive. She's trying to trick you, and
didn't have my step mom's card like she did. I
(26:10):
picked out the same dress as my stepsister and got
it in black. It needed to be special to order
since it didn't have my size. They had one smaller
and one bigger, so I was able to try those
on and get approximate fit. Grandma did not like the dress.
Who would have thought?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Who could have thunk? She's like, it doesn't look like
a wedding dress enough, and then I need you to
bring me along and we're gonna steal all of the
spotlight from the wedding. You're part of my plan, now,
Kata Rainsa's get Grammy a blog or something with all
of them opinions.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yo, literally, yeah, she canna be like that dog. What
dog dog with a blog?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Dog with a blog?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Throw back Clinton Clinton. Grandma did not like the dress.
It was simple, flowy skirt that hit the ankles and
the buoyance crossed over for a little design. For the
most part, it was modest. The only thing really shown
was my face on arms. Grandma didn't like that my
arms were exposed because people could see my strawberry skin
and my muscles. She said it made me look like
(27:11):
a man, like a lock.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
That's like a compliment, like like, oh yeah, let's see them. Like, hey, thanks, Grandma,
I've been working out.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Thanks, I've been actually working on myself. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
How about you? What you look like? A look like
the hunchback of Notre Dame.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Dang going cross keyon. He'll call you out like like
you look? She said, it made me look like a man,
like a log. She told me I was too fat
for it. While she put me down, I didn't care.
I sent a picture to my stepmom and she loved it.
I told Grandma this was the dress we were going with,
and that was final. When we put in the order ticket,
she tried to order a different style in the color
(27:47):
she wanted. I'd already talked to the worker beforehand and
warned them, hey, she's gonna pull this. You put down
what I say, not what she says, because she will
ruined this wedding. I don't think the worker took me
seriously at first until they saw how Grandma was acting. Finally,
the dress shopping was done, and then it was to
shoe shopping. And you think maybe the dress was the
hardest part. Right, we got done doing dress shopping.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
It's gonna get harder.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Getting shoes isn't gonna be that bad, right.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
This is the peak. This is the climax, the hill
that you're gonna die on, that you're gonna pass away on.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
I believe it. My stepmom had specific style of mind.
Black flats with a pointed toe, easy, you would think, right.
In general, I have trouble finding shoes. I wear size
six and women's, but I have white feet, so it's
a struggle. We had to go to three different shoe
stores to just find a pair. Grandma was angry it
made weird comments about my feet. Don't know why, Like
I have my dad's fat feet, but my mom's shoes eyes.
(28:42):
She finds the weirdest things to comment about. After shopping,
Grandma wanted to get lunch. I didn't, so I told
her I had an obligation. She then proceeded to call
me a disappointment for not thinking of my grandmother, saying
she hadn't seen me in a while and that she
deserved to have dinner with her grand kit.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
It seems like you don't like your ranket though, you know,
But I guess like if you hate everyone, you gotta
take what you can get, and right now, she's only
got familial obligation as a way to get people to
hang out with her.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah, gosh, dude, I walked home. I didn't want to
deal with her, and then the shopping plaza was barely
a mile away. A few weeks later, my dress arrived
and we needed to go back to get it himned.
I planned on just going with my mom, but in
true grandma fashion, she butt in and took me instead.
I simply bowed my head took things instride. At the time,
(29:30):
I was experimenting with my hair, I talked with my
stepmom about how she wanted it. Since I was planning
on cutting off a lot of length and dying it.
My Stepmam was like, I don't nothing care, do what
you want. So I got this boyish cut and died
it whol red to match my mom. Grandma did not
like this. Oh no, she did not.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
She didn't.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
She said I looked even more like a man and
a log. Uh a log, that's what she said. Earlier.
You looked like I am in a log in that dress.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Hope you can't catch a break with his grandma. Man.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
She called me a slur and the to know why
I had done something so drastic without her, without consulting her.
Now I'm curious that.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
She's being homophoony. It was probably called her a deesler
because she's saying that she looks like a man. Notice phobia,
Grandma not cool.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I thought it was something with the red hair ginger. Yeah,
isn't that a slur? No, noted, that's not a slur. Guys.
I took in her comments about my hair and stride
and ignored her. One of the most positives of being deaf,
I just can turn off my hair. Notes. Oh, this
was also deaf.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Oh, you're just like, she's like running away. You're like,
uh huh uh.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
She's like, dude, that's crazy. It's also crazy. Didn't mention
it earlier? Right? Yeah? She never?
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I mean, I guess it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Religiant until now. Dang. Finally I didn't have to see
her again until the wedding. Once everything was finalized, I
was done dealing with her. The wedding day arrived, Grandma
complained about the decorations, saying everything was too vintache. She
complained that the hotel wasn't a church. How dare my
stepmom not getting married in the church. It was held
at the Landmark in American, Michigan. If you're wondering, I
(30:56):
ignored her comments and didn't bother telling my dad or stem.
I just wanted things to go smoothly. We went to
get our hair done and while I was in the chair,
I could hear my grandma complaining about how I destroyed
my hair. My step mom shut her up and change
the subject. Nice step mom, she's batting for you.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Man.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
She's like, you know what fought up, Grandma, that's my
that's my stepdaughter. Shut up.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
During the wedding, everything was real, definitely quiet with her.
A few comments here and there, but she was almost nice.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
She's about to start something, man, she's planning something.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
She almost said, you look great, Opie.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
She was like, you look, you look OPI. She was like,
you know what, that's the nicest thing she's ever said
to me.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
You look. Oh, that's great.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
During the wedding, what it came, Kimberly finds this is
get rid of the most vintage thing. Grandma.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yeah, bye uh dust in the wind.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Just when it came time to put on the dress,
we realized I had the wrong size pancy hose. We
had accidentally bought a child's sign to large instead of
a women's large. Ooh, it would be quite it's embarrassing.
I was like remembering the times to put panti hoose
in my head as a kid while doing my mom's laundry,
and we were like, we're gonna rob you.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I did it, guys, I did it. She's back. I
did it.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I was just going to go without them, since the
skirt was long enough, but grandma offered me a pair
of hers with the comment, I highly doubt they'll fit
someone in your size, but you can try. They fit.
The wedding went smoothly. She didn't wear white, but she
dressed like she was going to a funeral. Uh, I
can't believe my son an extremist grandmother here.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah, she's like, I only do white and black. Okay,
I'll do this great, you can have you can have
funeral or me also going to the wedding as the
bride and that's it. Take your pick. I don't do color, okay.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
As if she were mourning and not attending her son's wedding.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
And Bellas's butter pantiose, they're like, uh, sheer tights I got,
or like like nude tights basically like clearer tights.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
What I thought everyone had, how every woman had no
do you have them.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
No, I have tights. I don't have like pantyhose are
usually thinner. It's just to kind of give you like
a nice color, like smooth, alright, smoothness on your legs.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Do you think all guys have a necklace with a
ring on it, a tie? Okay, a hat?
Speaker 2 (33:22):
True? Probably.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
At the reception, she made a few comments about how
I wasn't ladylike, you know, how I should have ordered
the oh little you know, she dropping hints there, opey.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Little did she know?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
And how I should have ordered the salmon instead of
the steak, and I went on quietly. The reception was
supposed to last until eleven pm, with an hour for cleanup.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
That's such a weird that she's like, it's not a
lady night to eat steak, must eat salmon.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Yeah, dude, I'm killing it. Man, you are killing it.
I just made me think of man because she likes
eating steak. I make and I missed or no, sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was just thinking of women
eating steak, and it takes I had to cookie gut
some one thing about me. I tend to go to
bed early around eight to nine pm, since we were
staying in the hotel. It wasn't like I had to
walk or drive anywhere. I mentioned wanted to go back
(34:08):
to the room to sleep, and my grandma denied me. Guys,
we will not deny you more stories just like this.
Where do you have to go, Sophia for more stories
like this?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Spotify, Apple podcast.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Or iHeartRadio or does the magic word they have to
type for their keyboard?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Okay, story time.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
And what will be waiting for them right there?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Us and full episodes just with.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
That, just like this and stories just like this. You
might hear different voices, but we're all in your head.
And yes, we're real people.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
We're real We're real people.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Okay, Yes, and any thoughts about this grandma?
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Dude, this grandma is a nightmare. I would just like, honestly,
I would limit the amount of time you have to
talk to her. Yeah, Like, no one likes sir, so
can we just go kind of low contact?
Speaker 1 (34:53):
I think that might be the best thing to do here.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah, she's just so exhausting.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Yeah, I don't get married as much too. Oh wait
and get married.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Don't get married so much. Don't invite her to the weddings.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
I mean, you've had to go through this twice.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Eventually ten thirty rolled around and I was cranky and exhausted.
I've been awake since five am, about thirty am and
just wanted to sleep, so look someone I know. Grandma
finally told me I ought to be grateful to be
part of this wedding, that I should learn to be
more lady like now I should just stood up. Took
me crying and begging before my stepmom stepped in and
told her to give me a room key so I
could go to bed. Finally changed and went to sleep,
(35:28):
only to have the worst night of the rest of
my life because Grandma kept waking me up, woke me
up at eleven, helped clean, and then almost every day
hour after that, tell me to turn around, tell me
to stop snoring. I was exhausted and I and slept
the entire seven and a half hour car ride home.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Leave this girl alone, yeah, yeah, please leave her alone.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Apart from her, everything else in the wedding was beautiful
and fantastic. Thank you for hearing my ranting. I apologizing
for femanting, spelling. Dyslexia and all that jazz as a
dyslexic person was probably the easiest story I've read all week.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Surprised. Man, oh man, God, dude, your grandma is a stinker.
Speaker 1 (36:07):

Speaker 3 (36:12):
Oh wow, that's the worst thing.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
You know.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
I think this grandma does deserve to like sit at
DMV for three d days.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Which she just has to stay at the DMV. That's
her punishment.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
She just has to sit there and wait and get
hurt and then get her license.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
And they call her up and they're like, oh, you're
missing some documents, so you have to go back and
get them.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
And she's like what And she goes back, comes back.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
And she does the test and she misses it by
one question.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
It's just like and they're like sorry and again.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Guys have got some more stories here. Whoa Josephine Mandlo
Miller pain Donner has donated five bucks. Can we just
show some love for Riley because in his moments like
this you can truly see his emotional intelligence. He says
some wildly out of pocket things sometimes and sometimes he
sounds like he has the wisdom and life experience of
an eighty year old man.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
True.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Thank you, Josepha. That is probably the nicest thing you've
ever said this?
Speaker 2 (37:03):

bar he ordered everyone around?
Speaker 1 (37:28):
And purple Trader? Thanks for the three bucks and the
pair punching the air, Cordy Fay.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
At this very moment, you can change the rest of
your life. Rena or Rena. I was excited to hear
Apple might start selling its own cars until I learned
they wouldn't support windows and pursy agreebo what's the difference
between the bird flu and the swine flu? One requires
tweatment and the other in a wakment?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Wow boom, that was great. All right, guys, we got
we got a story for the queen. Sorry, friend, I'm
sorry I didn't have al ready. Please don't hurt me,
Please don't art me. Sofia tries to get in some
some punches whenever you can. He's like Riley a small
alarm clock breaking up with the concussion.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
That's terrible.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
This is not true, not true groundhog Day, but the DMV. Okay,
I'll take that.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
That sounds awful.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Oh my god, groundhog Day with the DMV.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
But you could just leave the DMB Randy, Joe. Would
it be okay for you to show the drawings, show
chat the drawings? Yeah, you can show chat the drawings.
Oh do you want us to?
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Let's do it. Hey, it's sam' your og host here
bring it back to the stories. But here's three minutes
bads from our sponsor, and then I won't need memory.
My in law's treat me like garbage. So we moved away.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
They're taking theirselves out of the equation.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Ye take the trash out. So back in twenty twenty two,
we moved out of state where my family and most
of my husband's family lived, to another state to be
closer to his evil dad and the weicked witch of
the West. By the way, this comes from Kate the
Great on the ar slash Shoky Storytime Separate it. So
we packed up everything and our baby girl to relocate
(39:02):
to be closer to family who we thought cared about us.
Will you lot hint we cared about you. Father in
law bought a condo in this state, one hour away
from his house to play bridge with old folks. He
said we could live there with the stipulation that we
had to attend monthly finance classes, which he was in
charge of. We could disagree or agree with any advice given,
(39:22):
we just had to attend, and the father in law
did that okay. At first father in law agreed to
pay to break our lease and cover all moving costs.
It slipped his mind the week of the move, but
my husband let it go because he just wanted everything
to start with a clean slate. I, however, kept a
mental note of it. The day of our move, after
packing the huge moving truck, our car, and our baby,
we started on our way for a several hour car
(39:45):
ride to the condo. We were ten minutes away from
our new home when we hydroplaned o. The accident was minor.
We just jumped a curb. No one was hurt and
the accident didn't involve any other cars. Note we are
one car family, so my s SO doesn't drive for
personal reasons. This has never bothered me and never will
because I get extremely carsick if I'm not buying the wheel.
(40:06):
We finally get home unpacked, call insurance, et cetera. We
had to drive a rental for one month as my
car is getting fixed. At the first financial meeting, my
father in law lays into me about how if I
hadn't used Google Maps and followed his directions and shed
that the action would have ever happened.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
I will agree with that Google Maps is kind of
whack sometimes, but how would that?
Speaker 2 (40:26):
How does that even make sense? The hydroplane, they didn't
take a wrong turn.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Guess who knows about puddles in the road? Apple? Apple
Maps ways it detects puddles on the road.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
I'm trying to remember if Apples ever does.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I was like, what, ye okay, because they have apple
and apples come from water, so thus they know where
all the water is in the roads.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Interesting, dang, I could have gotten away with it, Yeah,
I was like, whattect bottles? He said? There are only
two people I will never ride with in a car again,
my eighty three year old mom and you meaning me.
I'm a twenty six year old female who drives a
manual and I've been driving since I could get behind
the wheel of a car.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
Dude, sounds like baby driver to me.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Yeah, Oh he's you doubt my driving. My husband and
I were shocked. Bada Lah continued to say, oh, I
needed to stop being a stay at o mom. I
could stop being lazy and actually help my husband earn
money for our household. He also said, there's no reason
for Zzodor not to drive. He needs his license. This
pile of crab a person did not hold back, just
been on and on about how it's my fault. We
(41:25):
had to pay a thousand plus dollars on a car
rental car repairs, uber fees, et cetera for the last
month because of the accident. The insurance company and my
husband both said that I did everything to prevent what happened.
I was even going way below the speed limit while
it was raining. It was, without a doubt, one hundred
percent out of my control. Any who, the meeting ends
with not much else said, and they leave. One of
(41:46):
the other rules to us living in their new space
is that we can't bring out one and a half
year old into the complex pool well because that wasn't
ridden in our lease and it's not in the building
some lease. I decided, after this one sided sc reming match,
to do it anyway. Keep in mind, we did have
a twelve month written lease with father in law and
the building his condo is in. So I take her
(42:07):
daughter swimming as a quiet f you because he's not
gonna know. It's fine. One day, I'm uploading photos on
our family shared album and accidentally add a photo of
us at the pool. Oh did you told on yourself?
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (42:22):
My father in law instantly calls myso and curses him out, saying, oh,
I'm disrespectful and ungrateful that I did this on purpose,
and that I'm now, after just one kicked out of
all the financial meetings because I can't be trusted. Thank goodness.
I didn't want to get crap on or listen to
his crap anyway. So life goes on with a slap
of the wrist and no more pool. That is according
(42:44):
to my father in law. I keep going anyways, nice,
just don't send him more pictures of shit. I have
since befriended most of the neighbors we have, all elderly,
all nice. Everyone simply adores our baby and everything is
going good. One day, I'm in the lobby library reading
talking to the president of h AWAY and that there's
been light miscommunication about the pool and baby. She laughs,
probably because she's gone swimming up with us multiple times
(43:07):
and asks what's going on. Well, the flood gates open.
I tell her everything, leaving no stone unturned. I had
extreme postpartum depression, so I was extremely emotional at the time,
in a news state, with no friends and no knowledge
about the area we were in. She was shocked. She said,
at the next HOA meetings she would cast a vote
for the only rule written in nineteen seventy nine. No joke.
(43:28):
They have an edited leases in that long regarding small children.
It literally says no children in regular diapers can enter
the pool. She said. My grandchildren come over all the
time with swim diapers. Oh well, this rule was written
before swim diapers were widely circulated. Of course, you're all welcome.
This was like a breath of fresh air.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
Okay, we're starting to see a little lot a tone.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
So fast forward another month. My s O and father
in law are having their first solo meeting. Apparently the
HOA president caught father in law on his way up
the elevator and cleared the air about the pool situation.
When he arrived at our door, he grabbed us out,
took him on the back deck, then laid into him
like there was no tomorrow, stating that he thought he
made himself perfectly clear. There was to be no more
swimming at all by anyone. Now, by anyone. Now, you
(44:11):
can't tell them to not swim at the You don't
own the pool. You literally don't own the pool. You
can't tell them not to swim.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
Hey, it's John here, og host of the show. We're
gonna get back to these juicy stories. But here's a
quick three minutes of ads from our sponsors. What is
this person's like authority over the pool?
Speaker 2 (44:28):
Again, he's the land he's so this is their father
in law who is the landlord?
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Got it okay?
Speaker 2 (44:33):
But there is like I think it's like they own
a complex or they own a what's the word, uh,
not an apartment, but at no like you know when
you can own like a bil like a specific apartment
in the complex whatever that's called. I can't remember the word,
but it seems like that's the situation. And then the
complex has its own pool. But he isn't on the pool?
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Weird?
Speaker 2 (44:53):
Did I care? No? Because legally, by either lease, he
had no grounds to a victis from the property he
was letting us rend so hat. He was so red
with anger, but I was too, mixed drinks ahead of
him and feeling pretty great. Like I had condo. Thank you,
that was the word I was looking for.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
We're looking for condo. I thought you just said condo.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
No, I said complex. Condo is the word I was
looking for, Like I had just won the first of
many family fights. As more and more crazy things like
that started to unfold, my husband slowly started to be
on my side. Finally. You would think that he would
have realized, you know, that his father was being crazy
way before. In their little meetings, his dad continued to
crap on me for not having a job. Oh, she
(45:32):
could work from home. It's not like she's been doing
anything during the day anyway, It would be easy, says
father in law. Oh, I'm sorry. He is cooking breakfast, lunch, dinner,
making baby food, cleaning the house, making sure our budget
not the crappy came up with is follow grocery shopping,
doing laundry, dishes, and spending time teaching and loving our
baby not enough for you. I think this is the
husband saying that or something. No tough crap. Husband and
(45:54):
I actually already agreed that I would be a stay
at o mom and take care of literally everything else
since we could afford it, ask forward more time, and
we've been living at this place for only six months.
Father in law gives husband homework for meetings that are
all based on hypothetical nonsense, not even related to our
real income or real budget changes due to due dates,
tells his son he isn't serious about anything, and ends
(46:15):
up cursing him out via email because we are stealing
from them, We are ungrateful for anything that has been
given to us, and we're both lazy sacks of crap
and that we're horrible, terrible parents. Dude, If that doesn't
show the your husband how crazy his.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
Dad is, will you're blind?
Speaker 2 (46:31):
At this point, they are sick of us, and we're
sick of them. Keep in mind that didn't pay for moving,
breaking lease, moving on later, and we were paying them rent.
We never asked for anything. Ever. All meetings put to
an end and we decide to move out asap because
we can't stand another word from this human being. So
we move again, have to stay within this new state
because my husband's new job is here. After other instances,
(46:53):
lots of abuse and therapy, my husband and I are
still doing great in our marriage and feel sorry for them.
But from a long time distance and from a short
distance or a long distance, you can listen to full
episodes of stories just like this. Just go to Spotify,
Apple Podcast, or your favorite podcast app and search up. Okay,
story time, But there is a tenC bit left of
the story. But do you have any thoughts?
Speaker 1 (47:14):
Katrina Rain, He's a control freak, Terra Rain, Terra Rain,
He's a control freak.
Speaker 2 (47:19):
Yeah, it's just kind of crazy that he thinks that.
Like I understand if he has certain rules about his condo,
but he can't make rules about a public pool. He
can tell oh P the rules for the public pool,
but it's really just up to the whoever's managing the pool,
hence the word public.
Speaker 3 (47:34):
Yeah, dude, yeah, can he can have his rules. Just
keep him to himself.
Speaker 2 (47:37):
Yeah, keep keep your hands for yourself easiest. There have
since been things that I've been said in issues with
these awful people, even one point where father in law
contacted the FBI to report us for swimming even longer story,
both of us can just laugh at all this and
don't regret anything. We have zero contact with them for
about a year now. Honestly probably a good idea. Feels great.
(47:58):
We are still on the same state, but no or
near them. They can keep that to Lulu, far far away.
So all of this to say, I know crazy is
crazy and it will come out eventually. But am I
the ale for starting and being petty after I was
crapped on in the first meet And that is the
end of that story, not the aoil. Your in laws are.
Speaker 1 (48:16):
Wacky and you and you deserve to live a loo life.
Speaker 2 (48:19):
You deserve to swim with your child.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
Oh everyone should have a pol day man.
