Glenn
Ready.
Brady
I'll start here. Oh, I like this one the most. I'll start here. This one's weird. I've never heard this before. It says, dear Brady, I just got the news that my girlfriend, dating since September, is pregnant. And I do love her very much. She's a great person. But news of this pregnancy has made me realize something. That I do not want kids with her. I want to be with my ex wife, who has recently said that she wants to get back with me. If I'm going to have kids, I want it to be with her. Doesn't mean I'm not going to take care of the kid. But how do I go forward from here? Glenn? Oh, boy.
Glenn
You have to do what you said. I mean, you're gonna have this kid.
Brady
Oh, you're having a kid either way.
Glenn
Yeah. And you're gonna be dumped for the kid. But the dump. Geez, I don't know how. I mean, obviously that's not gonna go real smooth. But what is on the line for him other than can she make it worse for him?
Brady
How so?
Glenn
You only have to provide. I mean, like, you're going to say, I'm for the kid.
Brady
That's it.
Glenn
They're just right.
Brady
He just has to pay for the. He has to pay the kids support, right? Yeah, that's it. And help out and they.
Glenn
Does that go through the quarter you come to that agreement?
Brady
No. You must break up. They don't have to go to court. I mean, I'm sure there's child support payments that'll be. Because.
Glenn
Is it based upon his income or anything like that?
Brady
Probably. I don't know if she's gonna, you know that you're assuming that she's just. All of it.
Glenn
Yeah. I don't know how.
Brady
She's a lover scorned.
Glenn
It's gonna be a little bit messy.
Brady
At first, and then it goes back to what the old bartender, not Bill Osborne, but Jim Ortiz, used to say all the time, if you watched me throw up and start to eat it again, would you tell me I shouldn't be doing that? Because that's what going back to a relationship is. But I turned to Brett, whose parents did this three different times. They divorced and remarried twice. And then finally last time just kind of lived together. Divorce, remarried, divorce, remarried.
Glenn
Yeah.
Brady
No, wait. Married, divorced, remarried, divorced, stayed together for. Yeah.
Glenn
Isn't that amazing? The fact that this guy. It took the girlfriend getting pregnant to make his realization like, oh, well, it's.
Brady
A life changing event. He's like, oh, my God. I have to assess my life here, and you're not the one I want to be with.
Glenn
Dave Grohl did it.
Brady
What?
Glenn
He worked it out with the, you know, he said, basically, I'm staying with my wife.
Brady
Oh, yeah, but that's. That's different. That's a side piece. This is the. Broke up with the ex, got divorced, started dating this lady. She's under the idea in a relationship. She tells him I'm pregnant. Should be the happiest time of their lives, I guess. Not for me. No. And then he's like, this news made me realize I'm in the wrong body. It's like being transsexual. You realized right then and there I'm in the wrong body.
Glenn
Sounds like it might have been a rebound situation.
Brady
Maybe. Don't know. Could be. Might have been years since they've been apart. I don't know.
Glenn
Well, he's gonna have to have that talk.
Brady
You got a dumper.
Glenn
Yeah.
Brady
Or reassess and realize maybe you think the grass is greener where it used to be, but you're only, you know, the song memories, that you're only remembering all the good stuff because you choose not to remember the bad. So it's the laughter. We will remember. You go back and start thinking about that. You're like, ah, maybe I'm not thinking of all the tears when that relationship.
Glenn
Starts going south again with the ex, which probably will.
Brady
However, Brett's parents, as an example. I have friends, Holly and Kevin, that were married, got divorced. As far as I understood, we're not even, like, close to, like, they were not. They were kind of at odds. They're married again. That's a weird thing to me.
Brett
But there's an exception.
Brady
Every rule.
Brett
Still going to play the odds.
Brady
The odds are the odds are against you broke up for a reason. Right. Right.
Glenn
But then he's saying the reason why he wants to, you know, be with the ex or back with the ex. He'd rather have kids with the ex.
Brady
I think. I think what he's saying is if I were to have kids, it's not with this person.
Glenn
Yeah.
Brady
I still feel more for the other one. So it made him kind of measure. Oh, my feelings for the other one are still greater than this. I thought I was over it, but I'm not. I've heard of women doing this. Women get that postpartum when they have a kid or they get the baby, all those emotions start flowing and they realize I'm with the wrong guy and they make all these snap, emotional judgments based on this life changing news.
Glenn
And before you do, look into that, the ex is going to be fine with, oh, by the way. Yeah, I got her pregnant.
Brady
Right.
Glenn
When I'm breaking up with her, I'm going to take care of that kid. I want to be with you again.
Brady
Wow.
Glenn
Is she going to accept that? I would try to do whatever you could to keep both plates spinning rubble.
Brady
You think you keep the after. That's news I didn't expect. Brady says he would keep the pregnant girlfriend.
Glenn
Keep both plates spinning.
Brady
Cuz while she get. And Brady's not wrong. Let's go down Brady's rabbit hole here. The pregnant girlfriend's going to get fat and gross for a while. At least you got this side piece that knows how to work you and her ex wife, right?
Glenn
Yeah.
Brady
So you keep her alive. See how the other one recovers. Give it some time before you make this change or decision. Because let's say, let's say you go back with the ex and you realize, oh my God, that was an emotional choice. I want to be with the mother of my child. I. I'm with you. You stick it out with the mother of your child, but you keep the other one on. On a hook.
Brett
I think he's just afraid she's gonna become a beast and not lose that baby weight. That's what I'm gonna be.
Brady
A little Brett nicely in him there. Could be a little bit like, oh boy, there we go, There we go. She's gonna tank out.
Glenn
Yeah, the ex is doing that to him.
Brady
What do you mean?
Glenn
He's keeping.
Brady
She's giving him. Yeah, no, she's definitely got a hook on him.
Glenn
All of a sudden she's back into the picture and you know, it's a little. I, I don't think, you know, the biggest surprise, obviously is that, oh, she's pregnant now. I'm gonna have a kid.
Brady
And I think a lot of guys get that I'm pregnant news and think, oh boy, I don't want to be part of this. I don't love her that much. So now you see yourself trapped. Your first reaction is, I'm trapped. It's a trap.
Glenn
You're spending time, you've spent a little time with the family, her family, because you've gotten to know each other.
Brady
But again, crazyville. September, October, November, December, January. Six months and you've got a. You've got a lifelong commitment, guaranteed popping out of her in a little bit. You might not be lifelong guaranteed committed to her because it's only been six months, but guess what? She's in your life forever.
Brett
18 years at least.
Brady
So that feels like a trap.
Brett
Yep.
Brady
In your own mind. Not that she did that to you. But, like, yeah, I could see where you're like, oh, I don't love you forever.
Brett
So what you get for raw dog and pal?
Brady
Exactly. Right. You don't raw dog a girl for six months. You raw dog much later on. And even still, you get her a stance on abortion, like, right away, we're both on. On the same page here, right? Like, neither of us got her pregnant and she's all in. That's a tough one. So, yeah, go with what Brady said he would do is.
Brett
I'm shocked.
Brady
Keep everybody on the hook and hose them both. Maybe you'll get them both pregnant at the same time. That's my prediction. You're gonna get that ex wife pregnant, and now you got two floating around at the same time. You're about to.
Glenn
Have to happen.
Brady
Yeah. You're about to have two kids four months apart. This is my brother. Lt. Same age, four months different, like. All right, explain. Oh, American Hillbillies. Oh, I get it.
Glenn
It's a collision course.
Brady
Yeah. You're definitely, I think, doing the right thing in this situation. Says, watch the Gabby Petito, the first episode of the Gabby Petito Netflix special. The mom and the dad of the Petito girl realized during the pregnancy we're not right for each other and moved on and agreed. Look, let's just make this right. Let's make that kid's life great because we're not good together. And that ended out. Oh, wait, no. That didn't end very well at all.
Glenn
They end up having. Did they have three kids, or did.
Brady
She have a couple of kids floating around?
Glenn
She had a brother and a sister.
Brady
Yeah, I didn't do the family tree on that. Everybody was haves this, have that. I'm out. It's not my job to genealogy your murder story. Cut to the chase. How did Brian get to this? It's something, something. Check out Homework's morning sickness podcast@98kupd.comberg's Morning Sickness. Dear Brady, My girlfriend and I adopted two dogs while we were together. We just broke up in January. I'm the dog person. I'm the one who introduced her to dog ownership. She likes them well enough, but I love them. She's demanding. She gets to keep our dogs. And I want those dogs. I gave her everything else, including a car I bought with her. F that. Who am I kidding? Bought for her. She barely made, like, 10k a year, and she thinks we need an even split. My ass freeloader. This did not end well. How do I get my goddamn dogs, man? I'm getting pissed just typing to you. Signed Yan. He might be our only listener named Yan. It was Jan, but he put in.
Glenn
Parentheses Y. I'm going to say the. I mean, the best thing that could probably happen out of that is you're going to split. Each one gets a dog.
Brady
Oh, you can't separate dogs. Don't.
Glenn
I wouldn't do that.
Brady
But you hate her.
Glenn
Yeah.
Brady
Clearly you're not in a good spot, so sharing them isn't going to be a thing.
Glenn
And then when she calls to say.
Brady
I'm out of town, well, she's going to call and say, the dogs have a vet visit I can't afford. Yeah, I think the only way to do this is not go at her like you did this email and go talk to her pragmatically about finance. Say, look, I'll let you visit them. Lie to her. I'll let you visit them. You can come by, but you can't afford these dogs right now. You know, if she's not making any money and if it was just your girlfriend you're not kicking down makes it.
Glenn
A little bit easier.
Brady
Yeah, Just say, look, just practical. Vets are expensive. Food's expensive. I'm the one that can do that. You can visit anytime you want. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna take them away that way. But they need to be in my house. She's doing it to be bitter. But if she's only making 10k a year, she can't afford a dog. She needs roommates. She's gonna live with her parents. I don't know where she's going.
Glenn
Oh, gobble that up real quick.
Brady
Yeah. Oh. Ten grand a year. You can't.
Brett
Can't do it.
Brady
You can't do anything. She needs to find another guy immediately that can take care of her because she's a freeloader and she's trying to steal your dogs.
Brett
And if she's hot again, I don't.
Glenn
Know if she's hot.
Brady
Now that's the other thing. If you send it, send D. Toledo9800kupd.com yeah, send a picture of this tramp with your dogs. And if she's hot enough, she'll already have a Paradise Valley fella before you know it. And that's a good thing because, girl, some girls that just don't have anything to offer. They do have something to offer, and it's usually their vaginas to a wealthy man.
Glenn
But you mentioned you're not going to change your mind if it's something that you've done. You know, if she scorned.
Brady
Oh, like she was boning somebody on the side or something like that.
Glenn
Or she just is. Scorn wants to, you know, she's gonna go, I'm taking this dog because I know it'll hurt you.
Brady
Yeah, she's trying to hurt you. Who she's hurting are those precious little angel dogs.
Glenn
Yep.
Brady
Ten grand a year. Where did she move to? I need more on this. Where did she go? If you guys broke up, where did she go? She didn't move out on her own. If she doesn't have a job and you're not paying her bills because you were just her boyfriend, it's not like you have to legally take care of her anymore. You dump her, she moves on.
Brett
She could have found somebody to pay.
Brady
For her bills maybe. Is she living with some guy? Assess the situation and be fair to the dogs. Is the new guy treating those dogs better than you can financially? Do they have a nice big yard and a pool and all that? I know that your dog set up. Yeah. I mean, the day Megan does go off and find a very wealthy man, those dogs get a better house. Yeah. I love those dogs. I'm happy for them that they're, you know, I'll just. That weird thing where you put a ski mask on, you steal people's dogs and get them back. Dear Brady, my wife has got it Trump derangement syndrome. She's obsessed. I'm a Democrat, but I keep myself level headed. This woman is off the deep end. Can't be out with friends, can't be out with anyone, can't even talk to the neighbors. And I've talked to her about how little this all matters to us day to day. And she gets mad when I ask her for a night together without politics. She says if she has boundaries for conversation, she's not interested in being comfortable with me. I try to ignore it, but honestly, she is gone, man. And I can't help but even defend Trump sometimes. And I don't even like the guy. If she brings up Hitler again or the country is over one more time, that is a go to. I'm just. Guess what I'm saying is this isn't much fun for me as life goes on. For some reason, I don't want to have sex with her either because I think to myself, all she's thinking about is Trump the whole time. Like this guy. It's like a sheepdog around sheep.
Glenn
You don't have to finish if you don't want.
Brady
She's laser focused. I don't have a question. I'm just venting. So I suppose it's not really. What would Brady do? Justin, he's just yelling at the woman. Well, cut your losses.
Glenn
Move on.
Brady
You gotta. You dumping her?
Glenn
This guy's not gonna crazy.
Brady
How dare you? How dare you bone a non trump order.
Glenn
No, she's. I mean, she's gone. Obviously.
Brady
You think there's no coming back.
Glenn
Well, her saying, I choose the topics we talk about then, now.
Brady
I mean, technically that he was saying that.
Glenn
And then the physical side of it.
Brady
He thinks all she does is talk about Trump.
Glenn
Yeah, but he's not even. She's not even appealing to him right now. Could that ever change?
Brady
Well, yeah, she'd knock it off. I mean, think about.
Glenn
You need to have a third party involved.
Brady
If all night all Ronnie did was talk about something you're not interested in.
Glenn
Yeah.
Brady
All night long. And it's never. You're like, hey, enough, enough. No more. Because she goes and goes and you're just dumping her. Yeah. All right, that's it. Brady says dumper. And get yourself a good Trump supporting lady like that beautiful Shelly Box.
Glenn
I mean, there's some patience involved, but if it's like, gone on, I don't know, two years and it doesn't look like it's changing.
Brady
Yeah.
Glenn
Even saying, you know what? Maybe. Maybe they'll get over this. It's a phase.
Brady
I wonder if it's gone on two years or if it's just since the election. I think you have to kind of think it might be the initial shock and awe of Trump being back in when people who hated him thought they were rid of him and he came back like a bad Jason movie. Like, they're just like, jesus Christ, he's chasing me around again. So, yeah, you can understand where Jamie Lee Curtis is worried again. She thought she killed Michael Myers and now he's back. So that's all she's thinking about. Like, he's. He won't die. They tried to shoot him. He just keeps coming.
Brett
Twenty movies later, he's still coming.
Brady
Jason and that damn mask. And she's like, I can't think of anything else. So maybe it is just the initial shock because we're only two months in.
Glenn
Give it a little time.
Brady
But I say, stand your ground. I don't, I don't. He is saying, I choose the topics we talk about. Or don't. She wasn't. She's basically saying, no, she.
Brett
She said.
Brady
She said, don't put boundaries on conversation.
Glenn
Yeah.
Brady
And he was Saying, let's have a night where you don't talk about this and don't talk about. I'm interested in it. So in a way, she's saying, that's my interest right now. And you're saying, don't be interested because you're not.
Glenn
Now she said, in my mind, it's like, well, you think we should be able to. We're husband and wife. We should be able to talk about politics without it, you know?
Brady
Right. But she's lost. And the same thing. If she said, hey, let's do one night where you don't talk about the Steelers. Let's do one night where you don't talk about your favorite baseball team. I'm not interested.
Brett
Peace out.
Glenn
If you ever heard that. Yeah.
Brady
Oh, my God, I'd light her on fire. Yeah, like, that's.
Glenn
I want to hear.
Brady
You know, people feel, you know, that the Muslims feel when you draw Muhammad same.
Brett
I'd send her to QT on 27.
Brady
Thomas, go pick up a couple wieners for me over at 27th.
Glenn
Why?
Brady
Oh, they're the best ones over there. Pablo Marin, do your work.
Brett
That might have been who got stabbed over there.
Brady
Maybe. Maybe this just sorted itself out.
Brett
It could have.
Brady
That's a new what would Brady do solution. Send her to 27th Avenue and Thomas. This all ends to the Blade. Yeah, send her over there with a shirt that says, selena Gomez sucks. She won't come home. I hate Bad Bunny. Have a shirt that says I hate bad Bunny and walk into that QT on 27th and Thomas.
Brett
See that?
Brady
Holmes, did you see what? Our shirts at home. I bet she is a Trump hater. And she hits Baboni. Yeah, that's the area we get rid of everybody. That's where dreams go to die. You don't even need to hire a hitman. Just drop her off. That's a good thing about the Blade in Phoenix. You don't need to hire a hitman and get in trouble for that. Just pull into the QT and say, go inside and grab me a hot dog. I'll wait here. And then pull away. She's done. But, yeah, Trump derangement syndromes, too. It's too much. And there is something when your spouse says, all right, you've lost. Oh, we got time. All right? You got to pull back on this. And also trump love syndrome. It's the other side of it. The. Enough. If your. If your spouse says, I can't take it anymore, then stop doing it or take the bread approach. There is a place you can go. I mean that. I'm just saying it's not on you. No, I'm starting. That's a good idea. This conversation's going nowhere.
Glenn
Why are you going so far west?
Brady
I don't know. I just don't really like what we're talking about. There you go, everybody. That is what Brady did.
Dick Toledo
It's not weird.
Glenn
It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fees.
Brady
I have heard enough of this.
