• 0:55Speaker 02

  Oh, man, dude, I'm in a fucking pickle, dude.

• 0:57Stavros Halkias?

  Okay.

• 0:59Speaker 02

  So, I'll try and add some context for like where the story begins. So, my girlfriend and I, we recently, I mean, not recently, but we graduated college, moved to a city together. Things were going well, you know? Like, I really care about this girl. I want to make it work.

• 1:19Speaker 02

  But for the life of her, she just can't, like, keep place of things. No object permanence.

• 1:25Stavros Halkias?

  Okay, you're dating a baby? She closes her, you play peek-a-boo, and she's like, "Ah, ah! Eric, no money! Where did you go?" You're like, "That's here. I was just putting on a hat." Anyway, go ahead.

• 1:38Speaker 02

  You know? So, in the moving process, ended up losing some important documents, like a social security card, right? So I was like, "Ah, man, that shit sucks." Like, you know, probably talk to your mom, get a new one. You know, that shit can be replaced. So, um, that happens and then like a month later, her mom comes to visit us. Right? And then I come, you know, I pick her up from work, meet her downstairs and then she's like, you know, making small talk. She's like, oh, by the way, how did, uh, you hear back from the police yet? I'm like, what? What, what do you mean?

• 2:15Stavros Halkias?

  That's awesome.

• 2:15Speaker 02

  She's like, you know, the, the report and it was like, no, what the fuck? And then my girlfriend comes in like ushers her away, like kills the conversation. I talked to her, apparently she told her mom that she lost her stuff because her purse was stolen.

• 2:31Stavros Halkias?

  Hilarious.

• 2:33Speaker 02

  Like she was.

• 2:33Stavros Halkias?

  Too embarrassed to admit she just fucked. Oh, man, that's hilarious.

• 2:38Speaker 02

  So now her mom, she keeps like,

• 2:45Speaker 02

  I don't know. She just keeps sly digging me about it.

• 2:48Stavros Halkias?

  Your mom does? Is her mom does?

• 2:50Speaker 02

  No, her, her.

• 2:52Stavros Halkias?

  You're right. Her mom does. Yeah.

• 2:53Speaker 02

  The way she told the story is that I was there. Her purse was stolen and I did nothing about it.

• 3:00Stavros Halkias?

  That's really funny. She was like, yeah, we were, we were at a fu- we were at a bar and a guy s- stole my purse right in front of him. And he just ca- pissed his pants, actually. Could you actually getting your social security card and a pair of thirty six, uh, thirty two khakis? Cause he pissed all over them. Um, that's insane, dude, that she made you look like a pussy in her story.

• 3:26Speaker 02

  Dude, and I just got like, I, in her defense, right? She has good reason to not be, uh, forthright with her mom. Like, her mom's like just a little unhinged, like. So like, I, I totally get why, but ever since then, like, and that's a month after it allegedly happened, right? The entire time her mom was over to visit, she's just like saying shit about like, oh, how you need to be able to protect my daughter and all this shit.

• 3:52Stavros Halkias?

  Holy shit.

• 3:54Speaker 02

  And then flash forward six, I like, I, I'm the type of person to like, you know, I'll just take the L. Like, that is what it is.

• 4:03Speaker 02

  You know, keep it moving.

• 4:04Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 4:05Speaker 02

  But then the next time she visits, like six months later, she keeps fucking digging at it. And it's like she won't let it go.

• 4:12Stavros Halkias?

  Here's the solution, ready? Get a gun. Get a gun and be like, and then point it at her and be like, is this enough to protect her, you mouthy old cunt? I think that's what I would do.

• 4:23Speaker 02

  You know?

• 4:23Stavros Halkias?

  And then cock it. And then fire around right by whiz her ear, right by her ear and fire it into the fucking wall.

• 4:32Speaker 02

  Just get a fucking saber.

• 4:33Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 4:34Speaker 02

  Open carry a sword.

• 4:36Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, the next time she comes to visit, be on the front lawn doing Samurai sword drills.

• 4:45Speaker 02

  Yeah, so like my question is like, I don't like, what the fuck do I do here? Right?

• 4:48Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 4:49Speaker 02

  Like, because I really care about her. I really want to make this work. I understand her mom is a difficult at times. I don't want to throw her under the bus, but also like if something long term is going to work here.

• 5:03Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 5:03Speaker 02

  Feel like, uh, I can't have her thinking she, I'm a massive pussy.

• 5:08Stavros Halkias?

  So, okay, so just to recount the the facts of the case. You, what are you, in your mid to early twenties? You just graduated and you moved to another city?

• 5:17Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 5:18Stavros Halkias?

  And you guys?

• 5:18Speaker 02

  Latter half of twenties.

• 5:20Stavros Halkias?

  Okay, okay, so, uh, you know, mid to late twenties and and you guys were dating in college or you dated at, what was going on there? How long have you been together?

• 5:29Speaker 02

  Been dating for, coming up on three years now.

• 5:31Stavros Halkias?

  Okay, so yeah, you're getting to a point where you're at an age and a point where it's like, yeah, this could really be very, you know, this could be it. This could be very serious. I think there's a couple, look, if this is what you want, right? There's, so there's two parts to your question. It's like, how do I determine if this is, you know, someone I want to be with? And then how do I handle this if this is someone I want to be with? I think you have to have a conversation about this in terms of like, hey.

• 6:04Stavros Halkias?

  Like, I guess my question is, has your, what, how's your girl, what has her attitude about this been? Every time it comes up, is she like, "God, I'm so sorry I said that. Like, I didn't mean to throw you under the bus. My mom's being fucking annoying towards you." Or is it more just like, "Oh yeah, I mean, you know, I had to do what I had to do." I guess, let me, how is, what's her attitude about the collateral damage to your reputation on her lie? How does she view it?

• 6:32Speaker 02

  Yeah, so I will say I have talked to her about this a few times now. Because, again, I keep, her mom just keeps bringing it up.

• 6:39Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 6:39Speaker 02

  And it's such, and she's, she is like mortified, is probably the word. Like, she's really embarrassed. She's probably very embarrassed that I'm even having this conversation. This is a Patreon episode, right?

• 6:51Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, don't you worry. And we won't clip it. We're good guys.

• 6:55Speaker 02

  You know, the most honorable Mediterranean I know.

• 6:58Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so mortified is good. Mortified is good.

• 7:04Speaker 02

  Yeah, she's embarrassed. And she's like, "I'm sorry to put you in that position, but it kinda is what it is."

• 7:11Stavros Halkias?

  And is there any world where she just admits to her mom, "That didn't happen"?

• 7:18Speaker 02

  Ah, no.

• 7:21Stavros Halkias?

  Okay. How unhinged is this?

• 7:22Speaker 02

  There's a lot of historical context there.

• 7:25Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, I mean, what are we talking about? How fucking insane is this bitch?

• 7:29Speaker 02

  Um, you know, like...

• 7:31Stavros Halkias?

  Is she violent? Let me ask you that.

• 7:33Speaker 02

  No, no, no, no.

• 7:34Stavros Halkias?

  Okay.

• 7:35Speaker 02

  No, but she's a lawyer, so, you know, she doesn't need violence.

• 7:39Stavros Halkias?

  Right, right. Psychological violence. She's a domineering presence, basically. I mean, just the fact that she's bullying you about, well, I gotta admit, if I was, if, in a hypothetical world where my daughter was dating a guy, and you let a guy snatch her purse, like, here's the other problem here, is that the original sin here is your girlfriends. It's like, just admit, she's so scared of her domineering mother, that, who probably, her mom's probably type A, and your girlfriend sounds like a spaced out person, which, listen, you wanna talk about lost important documents? You're talking, I mean, I lose everything constantly. I completely identify with your girlfriend here, but...

• 8:24Stavros Halkias?

  She kind of immaturely was so scared of her mom that she came up with a lie that threw you under the bus. Even though this woman is, you know, kind of annoying, whatever. I kind of, I see where she's coming from. My girl, my daughter's boyfriend let a guy snatch her purse? He didn't do shit about it? Now, you could argue, so you have to basically, if there's no world where your girlfriend just says, "Look, mom, shut the fuck up, I lost it, okay? Stop telling him about it." Because of, you know, this could, this could be a moment where your girlfriend has some agency and is like, "You know what? I was, I will, I didn't want to, I didn't want to just tell you I lost it. It got lost in the move.

• 9:09Stavros Halkias?

  I knew you'd be annoying about it. I made up this fucking lie. And now you won't fucking stop hounding, you know, you about it, right? If your girlfriend won't do that and you're okay with her not doing it, then this is like, you have to pretend it happened and you have to say to her, like, basically, unless you think your girlfriend can have this moment of growth, which by the way, I think would be good for her, and I think it's not fair to put you in this position, but if you, ironically, what you're doing here is protecting her by being accused of being a pussy, in a twist of irony here, and if you're okay with that, if you don't want to get your girlfriend to

• 9:48Stavros Halkias?

  confront her mother, then your only option is to pretend like you did it and act the way you'd act if, if you actually allowed someone to snatch a person from your girlfriend. And if that actually did happen, I would be, you would be mortified, and then you would just be like, "Look, I will never let that happen again. It's one of my greatest shames in the world. I will promise you I'll never happen again, but you have to stop bringing this up. It was a mistake, whatever, whatever." Those are your two options, though. If you're gonna cover for your girl, then you have to go full and cover for your girl and pretend you let someone steal her purse in front of you and now act the way you would

• 10:32Stavros Halkias?

  have acted if that happened. How would you be, how would you make up for this? And then you have to actually do that.

• 10:39Speaker 02

  See, that's the crux of the issue because ultimately I do get where she's coming from. If I was in her position with her mother, like I would make the, I would admittedly maybe make a better lie.

• 10:51Stavros Halkias?

  Of course. No, she fucked up.

• 10:53Speaker 02

  The one that doesn't implicate me necessarily.

• 10:55Stavros Halkias?

  Of course, of course. Why did you have to be there? It's a lie. Why did you have to be, like, why couldn't somebody have just taken her?

• 11:01Speaker 04

  Anyone could have stolen her purse anywhere.

• 11:03Stavros Halkias?

  At any pla- at the fucking gym. Someone could have taken her purse from a Planet Fitness locker room. Why was it with you? It's just, it's crazy.

• 11:12Speaker 02

  You know, and the, and the other side of it is like, again, I, if I thought, if I was in her mom's shoes, 100% get it. I'm calling that guy a pussy.

• 11:21Stavros Halkias?

  Yes, yes.

• 11:22Speaker 02

  You know, that makes sense. But the, the issue is, is that when I lied, when I like try and play along, again, she's a lawyer. She's like, starts like deposing me and like cross referencing this. She's like, oh, so what the guy look like? And I have to like speculate who this suspect is. And she's like, oh, well, why, why didn't you guys file a police report?

• 11:44Speaker 04

  Right. Here's, here's what I, here's what I would do if I was you, Mo Money. I think you should play along with it and think of.

• 11:53Stavros Halkias?

  You go, go like, you know, it was a fucking immigrant. I'm glad ICE is doing what they're doing. And now you start another, now you start a different argument. That's what you do.

• 12:03Speaker 04

  So listen, you joked.

• 12:05Speaker 02

  Just describing eldest. That's exactly what he looked like.

• 12:08Stavros Halkias?

  So you know what I've done? You know what I've done, Sandra? I've enlisted in ICE.

• 12:13Speaker 04

  No.

• 12:13Stavros Halkias?

  And now I will protect her and the whole country from this immigrant menace.

• 12:17Speaker 04

  No, I'm with both of you in a way. I think you should think, you should play along with it and think of this as high level trolling. Because lying to her about this does give you some kind of power over her. Cause she thinks you're a fucking pussy who didn't do shit, but you're like, this dumb bitch thinks she's so fucking smart.

• 12:37Stavros Halkias?

  Right.

• 12:38Speaker 04

  She thinks she's this genius little lawyer. Little does she know, this shit never fucking happened. My girlfriend just lied for some weird random reason. But now I'm, you know, now she thinks she's got the drop on me, but this bitch doesn't know jack shit. She's a shitty lawyer and just play along with it, man. Go, go over the top and, you know, just confuse her, shock and awe her with, with a bunch of crazy lies.

• 13:05Stavros Halkias?

  She's clearly a good lawyer. He can't do that. You would fold it a second if you tried to do that.

• 13:10Speaker 04

  No, I wouldn't. I'd be like.

• 13:13Stavros Halkias?

  I promise you would.

• 13:14Speaker 04

  Start with just straight apology, like over the top apologeticness.

• 13:18Stavros Halkias?

  How long ago was this?

• 13:20Speaker 02

  Uh, now it's been about over a year.

• 13:23Stavros Halkias?

  I see self-bringing it, that's what I'm saying, dude.

• 13:26Speaker 02

  She visited like three weeks ago and it came up again.

• 13:29Stavros Halkias?

  So basically, yeah, that's, that's why, that's why my point is your options are, your girl has to just face it. And by the way, I think that's good for her. I like, we, we talk about this all the time on the show where it's like hard conversations are hard for a reason and you always feel better after having them. I, but whatever. You don't want to do that. You want to, you want to protect her. You want to take the, if you're going to take the L, take the L and just, you're a pussy who fucked up and you're like, you know what? You're right. I am a pussy. I did fuck up. I will never let it happen again. Please, you have to stop bringing this up. It's been a year and a half.

• 14:05Speaker 04

  This is why I don't think that's, this is why I think that's not an option for you anymore. It's been a year. If I was that mom and if she was as slick as you're saying, I'd be like, what? That's ridiculous. They're just telling me this new lie to try to cover up that he was a pussy. Like, that's so weird. Why would you be like?

• 14:25Stavros Halkias?

  An episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm?

• 14:26Speaker 04

  Why would you be like, mom, I've been letting you scold my boyfriend for a year. Cause I was too embarrassed to say that I lost my passport.

• 14:34Stavros Halkias?

  You know why? Cause she's the type of person that scares people like this. I don't think that's that crazy. I think her and her daughter, she also knows her daughter. My mom knows when I lose shit, dude. My mom's not like, I've lied about losing stuff because I'm embarrassed because I remember being yelled at when I was fucking seven, which is probably the reason this girl lied to her mom. Anyway.

• 14:55Speaker 04

  You tell me, Mo Money, do you think she would even like, I was about to say, would she buy that, but it's not even a lie.

• 15:04Speaker 02

  I have a distinct feeling that she knows something's up and that's why she keeps pushing the issue.

• 15:09Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 15:09Speaker 02

  Now I just feel like I'm, I'm going down with the ship.

• 15:12Speaker 04

  I gotta be, yeah, it's like, if, if that's the case, if you think like, she's hip to it anyway, then yeah, maybe stop is right. Maybe you should just like, uh, just tell you, force your girlfriend to come clean and be like, look, your mom's being a cunt every time she's over here. Yeah, yeah. This shit is pretty fucking annoying. Yeah. You just gotta fucking talk to her because you're an adult and you know, don't drag me into this because I look like a bitch in front of your mom. Yeah. And that's just a bad look. Yeah.

• 15:44Stavros Halkias?

  Alternatively, and, and you know what's funny is in your question, Mo Money, it's like, the implic- the implied real question is, should I just break up with this bitch? That's really what's at the heart of this. He's like, she's fucking made me look like a pussy. Your mom's fucking annoying. Like, is this even worth it? And, and I do think it is if she's willing to just fucking make up, you know, like make up for this. Cause otherwise, you also don't want someone who's like, like the, the hu- the, the husband who is subservient to his mother is like a classic archetype in like culture and society, whatever, like the mommy's boy who can never tell his mom no. But the, the, the same is true of a woman, you know, like anyone who just cowers in

• 16:29Stavros Halkias?

  front of their, their parents as someone who's almost 30 is pathetic.

• 16:35Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 16:35Stavros Halkias?

  And your, your girl has to be cured of this. And this is a perfect opportunity because ultimately she fucked you in this.

• 16:44Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 16:44Stavros Halkias?

  You know what I mean? Like, if, look, if it didn't involve you, maybe she can get away with it, but this is a real, it is kind of a, like, what if we get into the future and there's a real fundamental argument about how we live our life, whether that's having kids, moving to a different city, whatever, that me and her mom are on different sides of, is she gonna just side with her mom because she's scared of her and expect me to be a fucking bitch in the si- like. Towards her mom, because you know what would happen if this was me? The third time this bitch got in my face, I'd be like, she fucking lied. I didn't fucking do it. You think I'd let some fucking asshole take it? She fucking lost her thing and she scared you because you're a fucking bitch and you keep bringing shit.

• 17:26Stavros Halkias?

  That's what would happen to me. There is no way I would be able to take this, right? But I'm also an emotional fucking guy who's willing to blow things up for very small, very, very, you know, satisfaction that doesn't last long, you know what I mean? But anyway, that's, we've kind of gone around this a bunch of times. We basically have dissected what your options are. How do you feel about your situation?

• 17:53Speaker 02

  Man, I just, I would love to work past this. I would just hate if like, we get married five years from now. This is like still a recurring joke.

• 18:02Speaker 04

  The mom's bringing it up in the speech like.

• 18:05Stavros Halkias?

  No, no, here's the thing. Let me tell you something. It will be.

• 18:09Speaker 02

  It's bad, man.

• 18:10Stavros Halkias?

  It will be. No, that's what I'm saying. It's like, look, is it fair for your girlfriend to have to like, confront truly her most fundamental demons here because she panicked and told a weird lie? No, I feel bad for her too, but if it's, this is anyone's fault, it is unequivocally hers. She lo-, by the way, we haven't even gotten to the fact that she's the fucking idiot who lost her social security card. I haven't even lost my social security card. I've lost everything else. I've always kept that. So she covered her mistake with a lie that throws you under the bus. And you're risking being pussy purse boy for your whole life to your in-laws.

• 18:52Stavros Halkias?

  It is symbolic, you know what I mean? Like, I, I, I just think the truth must come out. If you are going to feel, and I think, by the way, I don't think you're admitting how much this bothers you. I think you're just like, you're, you're hiding in the general like, oh, you know, is this relationship really going to last? I'm pretty, you know, you're kind of like, oh, how do you know someone's the right one for you? That's not what you're fucking wondering. You're wondering like, how do I get out of this? Am I, like, that's not what's bothering you. You don't have, if it isn't for this, you don't really have doubts about this girl, do you? This is the first thing that actually fucking, has actually caused a real rift. I'm, I'm guessing.

• 19:32Speaker 02

  Uh, yeah, sorta. I mean, there's definitely been other things going on and I mean, this does bother me on like uh, uh, some sort of meta level, but in reality, it's like, what, what, like, her mom is already like somewhat distant, like, uh, so it doesn't bother me that much, like, as, like, what does it cost me? You know?

• 19:56Stavros Halkias?

  This is already, you're already seeding, you, you know how cucked that was? Well, it's, it's only gonna be annoying every holiday and, uh, you know, I don't see her, day to day, it's not a problem. But like, you're, that's you just being like, alright, I'm res, you're resigned to taking this loss you don't deserve. And look, let me tell you something. If you see it as an act of sacrifice for the woman you love, there's almost something noble about that. But it has to really not bother you. I'll tell, like I said, we're different guys, I get that. And again, I'm projecting and I can only tell you my perspective. And honestly, between, like, Elders, how could, how would you feel about this? I know I couldn't handle it. I know it would eat me alive and I would make it a simp, cause even, look, I might be overdoing it. I admit that, Mo Money.

• 20:39Stavros Halkias?

  Me raising it to the symbol, symbolic, like, it's a symbolic issue that will mean whether she sides with you or her mom in the future. It might not be. In the future, she might side with you and I might be getting ahead of myself. I know I couldn't handle something like this.

• 20:56Speaker 04

  I don't, I don't think, I don't think I would like, think of that heavy symbolism that much. It's like, okay, just a weird moment of weakness where she made a horrible judgment call.

• 21:06Stavros Halkias?

  Sure.

• 21:06Speaker 04

  I could live with this for, honestly, up to six months.

• 21:14Speaker 04

  I could live with it for-

• 21:15Speaker 02

  The time element is brutal.

• 21:16Speaker 04

  I could live with it for up to six months and I'm like, alright, I'll just take my lumps. Her mom's being fucking weird about it, but whatever. When you're talking about a year, when this is a, uh, defining characteristic of your personality for the, in her, in the mother's eyes, like, that's like, okay, we need to like-

• 21:40Speaker 04

  You know, that that would be too much to bear and I'd be like, you gotta tell your mom, because this is fucking crazy. Like, she just thinks, she just is making this assumption about me based on, you know.

• 21:53Stavros Halkias?

  Also, what even is the lie? That some guy violently yanked it out of her hands and you, as you cried? Or is it that you were even at a bar and you just didn't see someone take it?

• 22:02Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 22:02Stavros Halkias?

  You know what I mean? Like, how is she still this mad?

• 22:07Speaker 02

  Well, it's tied into politics a little bit. Like, again, we moved to the city. So, she's like, oh, spooky.

• 22:15Stavros Halkias?

  See what happens when you go to a lib- so maybe the ice thing would work with this woman, it sounds like.

• 22:21Speaker 02

  You know, the problem, it's weird. I don't know. It's a fifty fifty.

• 22:26Speaker 04

  That's an important detail. Look, dude.

• 22:28Speaker 02

  Yeah, and it's like, the reason I said it doesn't bother me is because like, I know who I am, right? Like, I know that didn't happen. Whereas like-

• 22:36Stavros Halkias?

  I know who I am is something some-

• 22:38Speaker 02

  And I genuinely believed that happened to my daughter. I get where she's coming from.

• 22:42Stavros Halkias?

  Right.

• 22:43Speaker 02

  You know?

• 22:44Stavros Halkias?

  Dude, I'm just saying, I know who I am is not something, is not something somebody says when they're not mad. I'll tell you that much. I know who I am. It does, that doesn't bother me.

• 22:58Speaker 02

  Fair, fair.

• 22:59Stavros Halkias?

  So, look, we've covered it. You know what you need to do, and you need to decide. Either resign yourself to a cucked life in your mother, in your potential mother-in-law's eyes, or your, your girl has to confront-

• 23:12Speaker 02

  Lame on an Albanian and get a gun.

• 23:13Stavros Halkias?

  Get, yeah, or get a gun. Get a gun and pretend you're more conservative than you are. Either way, you're gonna have to either, your girlfriend is either gonna have to fix her mistake, or you're gonna have to live some kind of lie for the rest of your life. Those are your options.

• 23:26Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 23:28Speaker 02

  You know? All right. Well, you guys have given me a lot to think about. I appreciate your wisdom.

• 23:33Stavros Halkias?

  Perfect. All right, brother. Good luck out there.

• 23:36Speaker 04

  Good luck, mom.

• 23:37Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, yeah. Stop letting people rob your girlfriend, you fucking piece of shit.

• 23:41Speaker 02

  Massive pussy.

• 23:45Stavros Halkias?

  See you, dude.

• 23:45Speaker 02

  What the streets are saying. Peace.

• 23:47Speaker 04

  Bye. Damn, that's so funny. So basically.

• 23:52Stavros Halkias?

  His girlfriend panicked and said Republican talking points.

• 23:55Speaker 04

  I know. She told a Republican lie to appease her mother.

• 24:00Stavros Halkias?

  Right.

• 24:01Speaker 04

  Because she knew.

• 24:01Stavros Halkias?

  Not thinking about the fallout, the natural fallout that would occur.

• 24:05Speaker 04

  You made my fucking daughter move to this big metropolis.

• 24:08Stavros Halkias?

  Some black guy took her purse and you let him?

• 24:15Speaker 04

  Yeah.
