All right, welcome back to the podcast. We have a somewhat, I would say, chaotic episode for you guys today, considering I drank a venti iced coffee before planning this, and I have to say that some of the topics I came up with are a little out there. I mean, we're gonna roll with it. So I think we should start by circling back on some of the things we were talking about last week. Why am I saying circling back as if this is corporate America? What? You're acting like me at work. Interesting. I'm going to loop back with you tomorrow. Let's circle back on that. Anyways, so we were talking about that show on netflix called kaleidoscope and you know i said we would do our homework watch it in whichever order netflix gave

it to us and let you guys know if it ended up making sense i did watch it i'll give you guys my order that i watched it in and it made sense to me. However, in very Britney-like fashion, she did not make it through the series. She finished one episode, but you were kind of saying that with that. So here's my thing. The goal of the assignment is to, you know, understand if you can watch it in any order. And my thing is from what I've seen online, I just don't think that if this show was a normal show in which like it had a regular order that people would be invested in watching it.

I feel like the draw to it is that you can watch it in any order. But if it was just your normal run-of-the-mill Netflix show that has one through whatever for the episodes, people wouldn't be that into the storyline. And that's kind of what I found with starting with Pink. One, I was lost at what was going on. Two, no part of me was invested in the storyline because you didn't know the characters or anything yeah see so for mine I got lucky because like I said when I was reading

like best case scenario order it said start with yellow so that's how mine started and so I watched it in where oh right here I watched it in yellow green blue orange violet red pink white and I felt like there were things in the very last episode that I was still confused on what was going on yeah until the very end that it tied it all together but I kind of liked it because I was like oh oh my god that's what that was about for sure so I did like it um but again like you said would people even be talking about this show if it was just another thing I don't know very good marketing very good way to put out a show um so overall I think it it could have worked you would have you probably would have been more confused for longer because you

didn't start at a good one i just but in the end it would have all came together probably i probably could have stuck to it and powered through but i could not bring myself to have that kind of patience also that's that's very in character of you um also we were talking last week about all those problems with airlines that happened in december and you know things just really took a turn for the worse the faa grounded all u.s flights today which when you're seeing this, it'll be two days ago, over 6,000 delays occurred from a system outage that the system relays time-sensitive information to pilots. So this was the first time that all U.S. flights were grounded since 9-11. And right now they're saying it was not an outside source that shut the system down however they're not 100 certain yeah so who's to say um what i will say is i guess 2023 has started on a great

note um we can only go you know up from here hopefully go up from here um it was only down for a few hours but still that's a i felt a little uneasy that it's as simple as a system that can make flying so, so unsafe. Exactly. I just didn't feel that good about that. No, I didn't. I feel like that's as I've gotten older, I've become more aware of the one little thing that could go wrong in any situation. And that's just going to be one more thing that I'm thinking about while I'm on a plane traveling somewhere like, oh, not only could the engine give out, but the system could go down and who's to say what's going to happen from there.

That seems like such a more realistic thing to go wrong because it's just like, you know, sometimes Wi-Fi doesn't work. Sometimes it's like this doesn't connect to this. It just doesn't connect to the plane. We're just in trouble here. Yeah, I don't know. Speaking of Wi-Fi with flights, a lot of airlines are now including free Wi-Fi. It's a huge deal on planes. So I say that because I always thought if you used your phone on Wi-Fi or something,

that it was going to like take up too much technology within the plane and the plane was going to go down because like you were using your phone in the sky well that's what they say they say that about the cellular data thing because that's why you have to go on airplane mode because you can interfere with the towers i guess there's just so many variables that can interfere with the technology that planes use now that I'm just really not liking it on a plane in like a month I know there's been so much going on and all I was thinking was like at the beginning of this year like oh my god I can't wait to like start planning some trips and like we have a couple coming up and now I'm like I'm just cool with staying home for a little bit. Yeah.

Let's see what happens here. This is such a random topic, but speaking of danger. I just, I had to get this off my chest because I saw this. I was driving on the expressway and you know how they'll have the electric or digital signs that usually it'll say like freeway closed from here to here or construction ahead take caution so all of a sudden I'm driving and on the sign I see it says endangered person perfect and I go what so I like drive a little more and I look again endangered person dark gray Toyota or I don't know exactly what car it said, but dark gray, whatever car it was in. And I'm just thinking, I start looking around.

I'm like, shouldn't there be police out here? Like looking for this person. Shouldn't somebody with some authority be out here chasing this car if they know what car it's in? Like, how did they know what car it was in and then let it get away? Yeah, like that's kind of wild. I've never seen a sign like that on the road. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was genuinely a start. Like I started looking around for police lights because I'm like, they should be out. And why am I looking?

And then every dark gray car that went by, I'm like looking inside. The people are probably like, what is this woman doing? Staring at me. You were on watch. You were on duty. Why is that my job? Being a a you know a great citizen talk about a distraction from driving like i was seriously every dark car that

was yeah now you're freaked out was that it was that it it's her person in there like i just don't understand how i just don't understand how it got to the point of yeah who were you looking for not sure an endangered person but at first when I saw endangered like I thought I was gonna say like endangered species alert and like then it was gonna be like an animal to like not hit while you're driving endangered species would be walking around the streets of Michigan I don't know there's been a lot of stuff about coyotes lately is I heard one in my backyard so i was just immediately like i saw that word and i was like what and i look again and i'm thinking like how did it get to the point of them

knowing this person was in this vehicle so they obviously somebody saw this person get in this vehicle and drive away why did no one chase them and why am i on the lookout now i don't know i don't want that kind of responsibility i'm trying to drive it strongly though no i did it's a heart you are ready to go until i was off the expressway and then i was just thinking like if i was the endangered person in that vehicle i would hope everyone would be out looking for that vehicle yeah so what the hell was going on there i don't know it's a lot of responsibility. More dangerous situations here. I think that's the theme. I think this is less chaotic than you anticipated.

I know, honestly. Well, because we've been talking, it's obviously it's winter in Michigan, and a lot of people ski and snowboard. We're not those people. No. I'll speak for myself because you can ski a little bit. In the past, I have tried snowboarding and I've tried skiing. And I can do them.

It's just not safe for me to be out there, though. Not good at it. A lot of anxiety. But our friend just went to Vermont to go skiing. And, you know, when we're talking about like our ski mountains, it's not a real. They're like hills compared to what she was on in Vermont. And so she goes and she's also not an avid skier. And she wanted to go by herself because her friends were a little bit more experienced so she thought she was going on the smaller hill and she accidentally took the ski lift to the top of the mountain and we're talking

a real big very tall mountain and she had to have a random lady help her to get down and we were talking then about ski lifts how they're kind of sketchy you get on there there's nothing holding you in you just flap off and three weeks ago somebody was riding a ski lift or a chairlift ski lift chairlift yeah and the wind blew the chairlift off the rope, the wire, and the chairlift fell down with the person on it. They were fine. It's traumatizing. How were they fine? I feel like that's such a dangerous situation with so much impact to the ground.

Well, it's like those movies that we were talking about. Frozen. They get stuck on the chairlift. No one can rescue them. Because there was an outage similar to what's happening with the planes. You just can't trust technology-driven things. But also with these mountain situations. So I avoid mountains at all costs.

As you should. We only have hills here. So we're good. So we're good here. But as long as we don't travel to them and i was just seeing on tiktok how on mount everest when people are hiking they pass dead bodies of people who have failed the hike i was today years old when i found out this information from you so they leave bodies if you if you don't make it through your hike they typically leave your body on Mount Everest and other hikers have

to walk past it they the bodies stay intact because they're frozen but I think that makes it worse I know and so they people have to walk past them. It's so well known that there is one specifically that people would use to pass. I believe they moved the body now, but they would call him Green Boots because he had green boots on. And it was just a well-known thing that if you're doing that hike, you're going to see green boots. I don't know how how probably because i never would you could go into a hike knowing you're going to see dead bodies and be okay and potentially also not one of them make it yeah because i guess it's it's been increased as it's gotten more popular

over the past few years to do the hike obviously more people are getting injured and not making it out but they leave the bodies because it's too expensive and dangerous to get them out. And so I guess, too, they will have people who write letters to their families being like, do not try to get my body because it's too dangerous. So sad. alarming to me because when so after last year when we went to California on the way back we stopped in Palm Springs because I had never been and one of the things there is the aerial tram that takes you it's only 8,500 feet and I felt very sick at the top really yes i was not well and that's the change in altitude yeah and it happened so quickly too because you're on the tram and it's kind of fast right and i did not feel good that is to say that these people who are climbing mount everest at 26 000 feet that's

26 000 feet is what they call... They call it the death zone. And it's when the altitude gets so high that people become delirious. And this is where a lot of people end up getting hurt or passing away because they'll start taking off their clothes, not realizing that it's... It's cold. ...really cold. And... Or they'll start thinking people are there that aren't really there.

And so they become delirious and they call it the death zone that's and i cannot imagine how sick you must feel up there if at 8 000 feet i literally did not feel good that's so scary yeah so we're going to stay away from mountains. Yeah. You will not catch me on a mountain. I feel like one of the times we went to California as kids, we were on a hike and I saw a snake. That's been a reoccurring theme. Anytime I've tried to go on a hike. Really?

There are snakes that will cut across the trail, go from like one side to the other. It's so quick because the trail is thin and I'm not about that life. That reminds me when we went to Arizona last year, we saw a lizard thing and it got pissed at us. Cause like, you know, like they run across and it was pissed. So it went down and started doing push-ups at us what i was trying to i was trying to fight and i was like what's going on like you want to go bro yes and all i could see in my mind is like like i was just thinking this little dinosaur is trying to fight like what's going on i don't mess with those little dino things

oh no and I lived in Florida I was my I was constantly afraid that I was because I lived on the first floor of our apartment building and we had the little lizards run into our apartment on like two occasions that I'm aware of and we got them out but if it did that with like what if we didn't notice what if it was in my bed when i went to sleep like that was always my biggest fear that it was just gonna crawl on my face while i was sleeping like freaking the parent trap when they put the lizard on merida's head in the mouth worst case scenario that's like how they say you swallow so many spiders a year in your sleep it's like i don't who who tracks that like why yeah wait how do

people know i don't know i don't want to know why don't you keep that to yourself who made that up but like how do they figure that out i don't know hopefully it's just not true that how who's like watching people sleep like oh there's one spider i don't know there's another one um yeah i never really understood that um but that that's that's kind of our that's going through our dangerous topics here now we're gonna get a little random let's move on to something a little random but it does pertain to both of us kind of because I feel strongly about this so I saw this tiktok the girl's name Sarah Elizabeth, and she was talking about how she's had like every hair color and with every single hair color, she's treated differently.

And so she was saying that with blonde hair, she got the most attention from guys, but girls, she felt like they were not friendly to her and they like almost like they were threatened of her and she also said it was not positive male attention and um and then so she had brown hair she said it was less attention from men but she felt like girls are more friendly okay with multi-color hair she said men did not look at her at all, but she got the most compliments from women, which I kind of agree with. I feel like even I've seen scenarios where girls are like, oh my, if somebody has like blue hair, you're like, oh my gosh, I love your hair. But it's almost because you're like oh my gosh I love your hair but it's almost

because you're like wow I would never do like I don't feel like I could ever do that but it looks like so good on you and like power to you for like for sure doing that not you know what I mean yeah and so I could see that and then she said with red hair which red hair became a thing it's very trendy right now I've been seeing a lot of people dye their hair red or like have a red hue to it yeah like brownish red and so she said with red hair she had men's attention but it was similar to get when she had brown hair but she felt like it was quality attention interesting i don't know she said she met the love of her life with red hair red hair and she said for some reason older people really like her red hair and that women do not women

don't like that that they're threatened i feel like red hair is really cool i i agree with a lot maybe i don't agree with a lot of this but it definitely makes sense because i feel like as someone who's had blonde hair when you said the attention from guys at first i was like i don't know but you're like but not positive i was like that makes sense I haven't had a lot of positive interactions with men um but with the girls being intimidated that I totally get because anytime I've ever made a new friend new female friend I always get the you know you're actually so nice I thought you were gonna be a bitch I thought you were going to be a bitch. I thought you were really mean. And I feel like people with blonde hair traditionally in media always get, you know, like categorized as the mean girl,

the brat, the drama queen, like something of that nature in movies. Like it's a stereotype. Yes. The mean one. Yeah. This kind of all goes with like the stereotypes of those people.

I've had the blonde hair like super, super blonde. Yeah. Also now I'm just kind of like brown, I would say. But I also was like dark, dark brown at a time. And I feel like at all times it definitely was a little different. And I feel like when I had blonde hair and maybe this just correlates with either the time in my life or like I don't know maybe I had resting bitch face but when I had blonde hair I feel like I would always get like yeah I used to think you were like a bitch oh see and and I don't ever get that now but maybe it's really but also maybe it's just like the time in my life like when am I really meeting new people in person I guess true but I definitely felt a difference with having blonde hair and I even feel like the getting attention from guys thing was like definitely more accurate when I had blonde hair really yeah but also again was it the time in my life? I don't know. I mean, I've been blonde my whole life. And so I know all of this to be true.

That's a little unfortunate. It's fine. But like, you choose to be blonde. Yeah, I like it. It's fine. Every now and then I consider going back. I know. You've talked about this with me.

And I'm like. Well, I was so brave when I was younger of changing my hair all the time. And at one point I had pink in my hair, too. I was younger of changing my hair all the time. And at one point I had pink in my hair too. I always wanted pink in my hair. I had like hot pink in my hair. And now, you know, obviously it wasn't. I just said I took a break from dyeing my hair for I think seven years, six years, whatever it was.

And now I added a little bit of highlights in. But I thought that was wild for me. It is wild for you. But you know what? Like every time a trend comes out where like the red hair is in right now, I'm like, should I do it? I could see you with red hair. I don't know.

I feel like it's like, I don't know, maybe it's a fall thing. Red? Yeah. Yeah, I could see you doing that in fall. I've considered going darker and being a brunette especially with like those tiktok filters that's like here's what you look like with brown hair I don't think I would like it I think I would immediately regret it you don't feel like yourself when you change your hair at no and I like I like who I am as a blonde so I'm gonna keep that um also though I feel like it definitely depends on the season too when when we go into certain I am as a blonde, so I'm going to keep that.

Also, though, I feel like it definitely depends on the season, too. When we go into certain seasons, I'm like, I should change my hair. And then sometimes I'm like, just leave it. It doesn't matter. Yeah, it's fine. But I think it correlates with the weather. Speaking of, as it gets warmer and all these festivals start happening. Let's go.

Come alive. You know we love our festival. We literally like our second episode or second or third episode at a festival like that's kind of crazy to think welcome to the podcast we're at Lollapalooza um but no so we did talk a little bit about Coachella neither one of us have ever been to Coachella. No. But we talked about it a little bit, like comparing the fashions of both. And so the Coachella lineup just came out and we were not that impressed, I guess you would say. Yeah, I was going to say we were not. There are a couple big names that I was like, okay, that makes sense. But then it felt like that was it. Like the people that would normally be still like headliners just not the headliner you would know who they were like for example so this year we have bad bunny black

pink and frank ocean headlining last year it was harry styles billy eilish, Sweetest House, Mafia, and The Weeknd. And those I feel like are in line. I would be like, oh, yeah, okay, that makes sense this year. But then you go down to the next one, and there's a lot of names that I don't really recognize. And maybe that's my fault. Yeah, but also maybe they just like, I don't know. I know. I feel the same way about it because when you look at this I mean you do see people like the Kid LAROI Charlie XCX they were all there

last or at least at Lala yeah they were at Lala but then I see I feel like I typically get excited about those smaller artists that's like oh heck yes they're gonna be there I can't wait to see them for sure and there's not really a ton of that I see two two friends oh heck yes they're gonna be there i can't wait to see them for sure and there's not really a ton of that i see two two friends i feel like they're they're gonna be sick yeah it's either like it's either like we've heard of them or we've already seen them yeah and it's like are they just running out there is there too many festivals are they running out of artists yeah is it an oversaturated market do they do i need to start singing i meant i didn't mean oversaturated market it's not oversaturated undersaturated is what i meant it's total opposite yeah yeah yeah no it's like do do they need singers should i start singing i mean maybe relive my glory days from

middle school did dabble in the music industry for i seriously it's so embarrassing hold on so i in middle school i learned how to play guitar and you know I always thought I could sing so I decided to do the middle school talent show however I did the parent talent show and then I did not want to do it in front of the school so bad that I scheduled a surgery did the most to get out of it so I had like a tooth thing that I had to get cut like in my gums or whatever and so I could have done it at any time it was no emergency it wasn't like the tooth was like gonna go through and ruin everything but because I had already had braces and like it needed to go through they're like oh yeah like we got to get this in the books whatever so an emergency I did not want to do the talent show so bad that I scheduled the surgery for the day

that we were supposed to perform for the school kids and did not go. That's wild to me. So I have questions, even though I was there. I mean, I guess I wouldn't have seen it because I wouldn't have gone to the parents portion. What did you sing? I feel like I've seen videos of this. It was Demi Lovato world of chances perfect and so I played guitar and sang another friend I don't know if she played guitar too

maybe and she sang and then we had another friend play the piano a whole we had a whole production did they perform yes for the school kids yes just without you and also apparently there was a malfunction for them where like either the piano went out or something went out when they were performing for the school kids too that's tough you would have hated that um my last question with this is so since um you believed in your singing abilities i saw tiktoks about this recently about like middle school kids like the minute their parents So since you believed in your singing abilities, I saw TikToks about this recently about like middle school kids, like the minute their parents would leave their house,

they would like grab the computer and press record and like sing a super emotional song. Did you do that? I never did that. But you know what I would used to do? What? I would use, like, you know how if you plug your ear, you can hear yourself like in your head? Yeah. In the car, I would used to do? What? I would use like, you know how if you plug your ear, you can hear yourself like in your head. Yeah.

I in the car would used to do that and like sing along to songs and see if I was good. Don't even lie. You had to do that. I mean, I still do that. I feel like. How about the one time when you were listening to music with headphones and you started singing and you thought we couldn't hear you and I know exactly what you're talking about I'm pretty sure I have that on video I do you I'm pretty sure I've seen pictures

of it because the headphones were like the size of my head at the time because I was in well it was a cd player yeah it was attached to a cd back in the day real back in the day um oh good time reliving our glory days for real no well I saw on uh tiktok and like I don't obviously this is probably not true um but it was just like a girl being like singing is like all confidence like 90 confidence I had a lot of confidence I like auditioned to be like the singing parts in a lot of like choir performances and also middle school musical. I was in every middle school musical we had. It was a freaking mouse in Cinderella. And I sang.

That's ironic considering how much you love myself. Yeah, it all, you know, it all tracks. Full circle. But I just never should have been singing. Ever. I'm not not gonna lie to you I remember vividly in choir like you know there's a big group of us singing and for some reason I could always hear you because I had the confidence but I think it was like maybe a tone off it was completely tone deaf and you know what's the worst part about it is you know what I think fueled my

confidence was I was president of choir why did Brian continuously asks me because I'll bring it up often that I was president of choir in middle school why was there need for a president well that's because you never got a wham so in our choir which maybe people can relate to this in our choir when you would do something like wrong or you're fooling around you would have to write out I don't even remember what it was but it was something Wolfgang something Mozart and you'd have to like write it out so many times yeah it was like this big long paragraph and it was like it was bad yeah I got a wham for what I don't remember wrong I don't remember well but I vividly remember having to do it because I never got in trouble and I got the wham and I was so embarrassed our choir teacher was a different breed of choir teachers because he had,

um, I feel like his name was Mr. Ross. He had like Ross bucks and they were all different colors. And it was like little money that you could collect if you did something good. Do you remember those? Yeah. They were like pink and green. Besides the point you could get like pretzels with them or like buy things. And there was a notebook at the front of the class. And I think this is what I got to do as president was you got to stand there and take attendance. But if somebody got a wham, you would write it next to their name, wham.

Or if somebody got a gum because they were chewing gum, you would write gum. I forget what else there was, but I had a lot of choir bugs. I was a good kid. You were good as the president but singing I don't know if that was I should not have been singing but also do you remember the trauma of having to go in front of like two students and the choir teacher and sing to audition

for eighth grade choir yeah and it was just like your peers like there was like I think it was like wasn't it two peers and then the uh the choir teacher yeah and i just remember going in there and at that point nobody thinks they're good at you had to sing didn't we have to sing somewhere over the rainbow yes and we also i think we had to do the do re i'm not gonna try i'm trying to like state the words and start yeah there was all those symbols i feel like you had to do that and Somewhere Over the Rainbow. And somehow, by the grace of God, I made it through. I made it through. For what reason?

I don't know. See, this is, I think, the problem. The false encouragement I was getting. I was booking roles in the musical. I was getting. Probably one of the last roles you can get. Oh my gosh. But it was that false encouragement that I was good. Well, it's all confidence. Apparently not. Oh gosh. Okay. So let's get into, these are also some way back in the days let's get into some of these shady stories all

right all right shady story number one there was this guy that would come in daily at my workplace he would pick up and drop off items at first i didn't think much of him but as some of time went by i discovered that he was a pretty nice guy we eventually began to heavily flirt with each other when he came in i was single and i assumed he too. After about a good year and a half went by, he didn't come in for about a week. When he came in that next week, I said to him, where have you been? He replied, I went and did this and showed me his left hand with a ring on his finger. I blurted out, what did you go and do that for? And he replied, well, she's pregnant. Several months go by and we continue to still heavily flirt with each other. One day he asks if we were hiring

because his wife needed to go back to work. We happened to be hiring at that time, so I convinced my manager to hire his wife, even though I had no idea who she was or what she was like. I thought, if I'm able to befriend her, then I could get closer to this guy. Since he never once mentioned that he had a girlfriend or that a baby was on the way, therefore he must not really love her that much. So sure enough, his wife and I immediately became besties after she was hired. I also quickly learned that she was always talking to other guys. She would leave the baby with me just about every weekend so she could take off and go visit family or friends out of town. I helped her with her online schooling, so I saw her texts and emails describing the planned visits and intimate encounters with guys.

Every time she would come back home, she would immediately pick a fight with me, accusing us of messing around while she was gone. I eventually got tired of the accusations. I told her husband about her supposed family friend trips that weren't really what she said they were and showed him the emails. The only reason why I continued to be friends with her was so I could basically hang out with her husband. So then the next time she went out of town, we decided to take our flirtatious relationship to the next level. Fast forward, they eventually got a divorce and he and I have been happily together for the

last 10 years that is insanely shady i mean they didn't do anything until the other girl was messing around so i guess it's it's fair yeah it's fair i don't know the whole relationship seemed like probably not the best um for the married couple that got married yeah I always kind of see this you know like it's very common that people get married if like a baby is involved just because like they think that's the right thing to do I feel like that just never really works out in the end for them it's not a lot of happiness they're not gonna save anything if their relationship's not good their relationship's really works out in the end for them. Not a lot of happiness there. It's not going to save anything.

If their relationship's not good, their relationship's not going to get better. No. Well, that's the same thing with a lot of times people will, if they're having problems in their relationship, they'll think, let's have a baby. That's going to solve all of our issues. Right.

And it does not solve all your issues by bringing a new human into the world. It's probably the opposite of what should go on at that point. Raising a child is difficult. So that is just going to add some more stress. And now there's another life involved. So just not the best probably way to handle things. I would say this is like an 8 out of 10. That's what I was going to say.

All right. Shady story number two. My dad and his childhood best friend had both been on and off with my mom for over the past 32 years, and she had kids with both of them. It's a messy situation as my half-brother's dad felt completely betrayed by my parents getting together when they first broke up. When I was 13, my mom got back with my half-brother's dad. My half-brother has always been a badly behaved guy who was into drugs and never finished school. I am the sensible

sibling who has my stepdad's trust more than his own kid despite who my dad is to him. My stepdad had a conversation with me about his house and the money last year which I didn't think much of. He was saying how he didn't want to leave anything for my half-brother or mom as it would be disposed of quickly and wasted. I suggested leaving it to somebody that he trusts until they were able to be clean enough to use it well and we agreed that it would be his brother. I didn't think that we would have to worry about this for a few decades as he was quite young. A week later, he died of a heart attack and we now know that he was told that his heart was in a bad condition about

the time that we spoke about the money. My mom and half-brother have assumed that my stepdad's brother has taken all of the money for himself and had been greedy. He is renting out my stepdad's house so my family assumed that he had stolen all of their inheritance. I've sat on the secret for a year that eventually my family will get the inheritance if they can prove sensibility. It's so tempting to tell them, but I don't want my stepdad's brother to be put in an awkward situation before they are ready to be given such a large amount of money and a house. A little shady to be hiding the secret, but honestly, I feel like they're doing what's best. Yes. I mean, it sucks to be in the step or the half brother and the mom situation thinking,

OK, what what the heck happened? What is this brother doing and what's going on? But I feel as if it is what is best. Couldn't they inquire about that information? I would think so. I feel like people's wills, once they've passed away, become somewhat public knowledge to the family at least. At least anybody who's in it usually.

I mean, I would think so. I feel like, thankfully, I've never had to be in a situation with a will or any kind of inheritance. But I always feel like in movies, there's like a real official reading of the document. Yeah, that's kind of what I was imagining too. But being the brother that has it and knows that he's going to have to give it to them, and they're probably being so mean to him right now. Oh, I'm sure like imagine his position

he's probably feeling like i do not want to give them this at any point oh heck i mean they'll be happy once they do but you know they just got only if they prove they're you know gonna do the right thing with it i guess which how do you know what's the what's the factor that determines that i don't know that's gonna be interesting but yeah that's a lot of um that's some family drama there and having this secret i feel like you would want to throw it in their face like well maybe if you got your life together oh my gosh it would be so hard to not do that but yeah that's a lot of bite in your tongue i would say this is like a 7 out of 10 I was going to say 6 agree to disagree ok

shady story number 3 this one is titled the 6 year mistress back in my college days I began a 6 year relationship as someone's mistress at that time in my life I was in a 2 year relationship and we were going strong one night we went out to a party and I noticed another guy, we will call him R,

on one of the couches. I instantly knew I was in trouble as he was extremely attractive to me. Fast forward about a week or two after the party, my boyfriend comes to me and tells me that the same guy, R, at the party asked him if I was single or not. Of course, my boyfriend told him that I was not, but my boyfriend knew me very well and asked me not to pursue whatever idea or thought I had in regards to this guy, but I did. I ended up finding him on Instagram and reached out to him. We talked and decided to meet up. I was very nervous as this was the first time I was intentionally about to cheat on my boyfriend. I snuck him into my house and down to the basement.

For the next two years, we continued to hook up when we could. R got a new girlfriend who happened to be my sorority sister from a different university. His new girlfriend, we will call her A, and I have had discussions about R in the past before they started dating, and she knew that we had hooked up when I had a boyfriend. A few months before they dated, I had hooked up with R one night and a few days later, I found out he and A were talking. I ended up calling A to let her know that I had slept with R only a few nights ago and I let her know that this is the type of guy that she'd be dating if they ended up becoming a couple, which they did. After that, I became engaged to my ex, and I was beyond happy. I hadn't messed around with R since he started dating A, but when our annual homecoming

came around a few months later, I saw R there and talked to him a bit. He said he wanted to discuss something with me and asked if I could come over to his place after homecoming ended. So, I went to his place, and we ended up sleeping together. From that point moving forward, my relationship with my fiance deteriorated. By the end of spring, I was unengaged but still continued to sleep with R. So for the next three years, I stayed single, having fun, living my best life, but R was always there and he was always around when he could be. Between those years, I began to fall in love with R, even though he still had a girlfriend. I ended up confessing to him that I had fallen in love with him, and just as I predicted, he did not share the same feelings. After telling him my feelings toward him, the feeling began to

slowly fade away, and I no longer wanted anything to do with him. I decided to focus on trying out the dating game once again. As a final update, as of december 2022 r is still dating a and still continues to sleep around on a and slide into other girls dms to get some but i'm no longer one of those girls this is messy but i feel like it's a classic case of a guy wanting to be able to have their cake and eat it too such a common theme and i think it is um disrespectful and tasteless when men choose to act in such a manner but that's besides the point the real point is i don't know it seemed like there might have been some underlying feelings there um i agree you cannot have your cake and

eat it too it will never work out even if you think for a short period of time that is working out it's not going to it's going to bite you in the ass and you're going to end up with no cake no you're not going to end up with any cake because i'm sure it's not going to last with r and a because it seems to be a really toxic situation that they're having here since he can't decide what he fucking wants. Excuse my language. But poor. What's the letter of our main character's name?

We don't have a letter. The narrator. They, you know. They were holding on to it. But they made the right decision in the end. And they let it go. Because they realized that you know even if ultimately they would have ended up with r it was never gonna work how were they gonna trust them

when they knew they were sleeping around they knew exactly what r was up to this whole time and still wanted him and i feel like that's a classic case of you know us women we just want to change men sometimes and be like you know what i'm the one they changed for and we're going to ride off happily ever after no don't trust those men they are playa playas and we don't mess with that not in 2023 stay strong but you know what this could be an unpopular opinion oh let's hear it i don't think you can change somebody, but I think somebody can change. I agree. People can change.

I will. I will say that. But I feel like people change for themselves. They don't change for somebody else. So in this case, she was never going to get him to change. And neither will A. But maybe he will change one day later and i don't think he's gonna end up with either of these women correct i feel like he'll end up with somebody else

once he's matured and once he's decided to make that change internally my guess is and this is me being a little bit more mature than my past self um like 30 seconds ago um maybe he's going through some stuff internally and he is laughing out in this way but you know what that's so fun to talk about come and play a player oh okay so what are we rating this nine out of ten okay i agree okay cool strong strong ending yeah it's real strong.
