The Bird Show. This dude, according to Ellie here, never treated or well when they were together.

Now dude's circling back because he needs some money. Should she pay him or not? Hey, Ellie, good morning.

Hi, good morning, Brett. How are you?

Fantastic. Thank you for joining us this morning. Okay, tell us about this dude and why you're even a little bit conflicted on giving him some cash back.

So, man, it's a long story, but I'll try to condense it.

So basically, I was in this relationship for two years with this guy, and he's an immigrant.

And one day he showed me all this cash he had sitting around. And I was like, what are you doing? Like, let me help you. He doesn't have Social Security. And I was like, let me invest his money for you. And then I was like, I'll keep it separate. Like, because I, you know, at the time, I was thinking he's a good guy. And I was like, you know, whatever happens between us, like as long as he always does right by me, I always do

right by him, even if we're not together, like, whatever, this money is separate. I always

respect him. Um, and so I invested about $40,000 for this guy. Um, and then two years later years later, I found out basically the whole time he's lying, cheating, all this stuff.

After, you know, there was a pretty typical toxic relationship after telling him over and over again, like, tell me a truth, whatever, blah, blah, blah.

I want it to truth, even if, like, I get it, people mess up.

Nobody's perfect.

You know, I'll understand.

And he lied to the very end until I had to talk to somebody else about kind of what he was doing.

And then she told me everything.

And I told her everything.

Anyway, I talked to another girl we

were somehow both like the main girl and the side girl and at different times and it was just a

full of lies and I just never felt more honestly betrayed and all that stuff so now I have all this

money and I haven't I mean I haven't blocked on everything.

And, I mean, the reality is, I financially, I don't need the money.

I'm very lucky and blessed in life, so it won't really make a difference in my life.
