| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Sam. |
| 0:01.6 | This is John. The OG Storytime podcast host. Oh yeah, and we got some great stories coming up. But before that, we got a teeny two-minute break from the sponsors that keep this show propped up like a little house. Oh, yeah. This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. My father disowned me because I want to take control of my life. |
| 0:21.3 | Control it. Get all the cheat codes. Go off into the sunset. Put that joystick and drive. |
| 0:26.1 | Oh, God. Well, I am facing being disowned by my family because I'm planning on moving in with my girlfriend next year. |
| 0:33.4 | Ooh. Sounds like family troubles. But first, a little background. I come from a very conservative, driven family. |
| 0:40.6 | My father has been very involved in my life, and I owe a lot of my success to him. |
| 0:44.7 | Okay. |
| 0:45.3 | Okay. |
| 0:45.9 | He has worked hard to provide me with opportunities to keep me motivated and to ensure that I reach my potential. |

| 1:08.3 | That said, my father's methods aren't the best. What are his methods? |
| 1:13.3 | Tell me, John. Oh, I will. While he only does the things he does out of love for me and a desire to |
| 1:19.2 | help me, he has always been extremely strict and controlling. While this was somewhat necessary when I was |
| 1:24.9 | younger, his approach means the same despite the fact that I am now 22 years old. So basically he's like, he's treating him like a 10 year old. Like, hey little Jimmy, did you, did you clean your room? And he's like, yeah, dad, I cleaned my room and I have. But I'm also 22 and you don't need to police that anymore, father. Yeah, no, no, I do. It's like when my dad tried to make me sign a contract to not drop out of college. |
| 1:46.2 | And you're like, no, I do. It's like when my dad tried to make me sign a contract to not drop out of college. |
| 1:46.4 | And you're like, fat chance, daddy, yo, I'm dropping out. |
| 1:49.5 | Boom. |
| 1:50.0 | Didn't work. |
