| 0:07.9 | dot com i've got a unique situation my grandmother passed away a few years ago um my my mom my dad's |
| 0:14.9 | mother he's got a second cousin that kind of contested her will um it took about two years. He spent about $60,000 of |
| 0:23.1 | his own money. We don't know how much is in her accounts. And in the end, he's now asking, |
| 0:28.9 | she circumvented him because they don't have a great relationship. So in the end, |
| 0:32.7 | the money's going to end up going to me. And I have a great relationship with my mom. They're still married. But, you know, he's telling her to tell me that once I get my money, that I owe him the $60,000. So I bring this up because when it came time for me to go get my master's degree, I was looking to go out to the East Coast, he convinced me to stay on the West Coast. He said, I'll pay for your student loans. He didn't. I paid off the $150K. So, like, with all this kind of going on and him kind of trying to use my mom to guilt me into paying him back, like, am I obligated to paying him the $60,000? Or should I wipe it out, considering never came through with paying for my college? |

| 1:19.0 | That's the thing. |
| 1:19.6 | It could be $1,000. |
| 1:20.5 | It could be $300,000. |
| 1:22.1 | I'm assuming since one of the second cousins tried to contest the will, |
| 1:25.2 | it's a decent amount of money, probably $300 to probably three to five hundred grand okay when's the last time and I'm kind of poking at you but just know like |
| 1:34.3 | if we were sitting down at a table I'd be smiling when I'm saying this okay yeah um when's the |
| 1:38.7 | last time you called your dad and had a grown man in conversation but because here's a deal |
| 1:43.6 | this is how kids work hey tell Susie that I've got a crush on Sutton. But don't tell her that, like, and then Sutton tells Susie, well, John, I don't, like, you see what I'm saying? Y'all are playing telephone through your poor mom. Y'all are grown men. Yeah. No, I know. We haven't spoken in three years. He got into a fight with my wife, and obviously I chose my wife's side. Yeah. If he wants to be a grown man and call his son and say, hey, I fought this. It's this much money. Here's what I spent on it. It feels right to me that you would come back. And then you said, well, let's have a deeper conversation you told me you'd |
| 2:18.3 | pay for this and then you walked away and i got stuck with a hundred fifty have a grown-up conversation |
