Hey, what's good, y'all? You're listening to Learn the Hard Way with your favorite therapist and host, Kier Gaines.

wherever you get your podcast in life when you go to school or you get a job sometimes it doesn't take a whole lot to misbehave and get the axe where they kick you out oh yeah happen to me all the time but you would think in a senior home it should be pretty difficult to get booted Well, for one granny, that's actually happening. Oh. And the circumstances for why are pretty amazing. Oh.
In fact, it's so out there, her granddaughter's reaching out to us for help. I don't own a senior living home. She can't stay anywhere that I have. No, it's not Brooks. You're going to hear what happens in a brand new Awkward Tuesday phone call next.
It's awkward. It's Tuesday.
It's Awkward Tuesday phone call. When you first start dating somebody, they should know a little bit about you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And when you move in with that somebody, they should really know a lot more about you. Well, they're about to find out if they don't. Yeah. Everything. Let's say those steps have already happened. Yeah. And you've actively chosen to hide something from that person.
Something not great. Oh, goodness. And it's about to blow up pretty soon.
Hmm.
That's where our listener, Julie, is at right now in her relationship, and she is asking for our help. Oh, Julie. Julie, you want us to stop drama from happening in your life right now? Pretty much. That's why I'm calling in. Julie, do you listen to our show because we actually really like drama?

Chapter 3: What kind of relationship does Julie have with her boyfriend Jason?
Yeah, we kind of need it for our show to be good, so this goes against our business model. I mean, you guys are probably right. There's no way that I can stop what's going to happen. I just need a little bit of help managing it. All right.
Manage the drama.
We have more questions now. Well, yeah, let's just dive into it. What's going on in your life? What made you reach out to the show for help? Okay, so I've been seeing this guy for about six months. His name is Jason. He's very sweet. Wait. Oh, that's good. Can I ask? Because Jeff set it up like you live with him. After six months, are you guys living together? That's what your email said.
Yeah, things moved a little bit fast. We've been living together about a month and a half. Dang. Yeah, that's a big commitment. Did you guys sign a whole year lease? It's in his name. So, you know, let's ruin his credit if we need to move out. It wasn't something that you moved into a place together. You just jumped onto his spot. Sometimes the timing just works out. Yeah. Romantic. Yeah, I know.
Yeah, it was romantic. And my lease is ending. And so we took it as a sign, you know. But that's not the dramatic part that's come into your life. Um, yeah. So basically I haven't really told them about my family at all. My family can just be a little bit much. Trust me. I understand. What are we working with, with your family? Like why haven't you told them?
Well, there's a lot of drama, but for now I'm just going to focus on one of the singular relatives. Yeah. But, um, I have a grandmother who is a little bit older and she, It's getting to a point where basically she just needs more support from me. Okay. That doesn't sound like a bad thing. Like, that's loving.
Yeah.
You're going to help your grandma out? I'll be honest. When you said family drama, your grandmother was not the person that came to my mind as the dramatic person. I thought you had, like, a terrible mom or something. Like, those are blech.
Oh, wait.

Chapter 4: How does Julie plan to introduce her grandmother to Jason?
She's not an awful person, but she does whatever she wants to do. And, you know, as she got older, that never really changed. And she's about 85 years old now. She lives in like a senior living facility. So you don't even have to have her like come live with you or something. That's what I thought this was going to be.
Well, that's kind of the thing is, like, she's been living there for about six months, and now they kind of, like, want to kick her out. Whoa, she's, like, getting into fights? What's going on? Dude, you can actually get kicked out of those senior facility places.
How?
Oh, my God. By being a jerk. So she's getting kicked out? I think she's getting kicked out today or probably tomorrow. Oh no, this is like, she's had many warnings. Yeah, she's had many warnings about it. Are we allowed to know the reason why she's being forcefully discharged from her senior living facility? Or it sounds like reasons. Yeah, it can't just be one.
She just makes Arnold Palmers pretty much every day. And then every night she's inviting guys into her room. Are Arnold Palmer's just iced tea and lemonade? Is she putting vodka in those things too? I think she's making them liquored up. Okay. Yeah, she's spiking them for sure. Spiking them, yeah. So she's getting drunk during the day and then getting randy at night.
She's having too much fun for the senior living home. And I just, I don't know how my boyfriend's going to react to this because it's kind of like I have to take her in now. You think you have to take her in? Yeah, she doesn't really have any other place to go. So I think she has to come live with me and Jason in this apartment. And it's just like, I don't know. It's just really awkward.
Like, I don't know how he's going to react when I tell him. And we haven't really talked about, like, all that deep lore that you just try and avoid, you know? And it's really awkward because it's his apartment that she's going to be moving into. And they just started living together themselves. It's adding a whole new layer to the relationship. Is there another bedroom?
Is she on a pull-out couch? He might have to get rid of his office. Oh, my gosh. That's so much. Or grandma's climbing into the queen-size bed with the two of you. I also see your struggle because it's not like you can just afford to buy a whole apartment for her. It's like, man. Now I see why you're in such a tough situation. You are paying half the rent right now, right?
I will be when grandma moves in. Okay. Yeah, you better. That's probably a good thing to offer at the very start of the call when we do this. But we need to think of some advice for how to tell your boyfriend that you have a grandma, first of all, that loves to party. Yes. That's going to be cool. That's going to be the good part of the news. It's cute in words.

Chapter 5: What advice do the hosts give Julie about managing family drama?
It's not great to live with in action. And yeah, it's also going to be living with the two of you in the next 24 hours. Hopefully he likes Arnold Palmer's. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think she would definitely make drinks for him. I think that could be a selling point. I don't know if I was a drinking partner. Until she snatches them back out of his hands and drinks them herself.
Or tries to hit on your boyfriend. Oh, my God. I didn't even think of that. All right, we got a lot of work to do, but when we come back, we will give you our advice and let you call your boyfriend to introduce him to the new member of the family and his new roommate right after this. Thank you, guys. Hold on. It's awkward.
It's Tuesday.
It's Awkward Tuesday phone call. Someone's getting a brand new roommate and she's 85 years old and down to clown.
Yes. Go grandma.
I don't even know her name and I kind of wish that she was moving into my place after what we heard. It sounds like a set up for a sitcom right now. It does. Honestly, doesn't it? That's how it feels because our listener Julie reached out with quite the conundrum that she's in.
Because on one hand, she's in a newer relationship where she just moved in with her boyfriend named Jason only about a month ago. And they've only been together for six months. So there's a lot of stuff about each other that they do not know. Yeah, that's its own thing. All that's new.
And then on the other hand, Jason doesn't even know that Julie has this wild grandma and that she's going to be living with them as soon as she gets kicked out of her retirement home in the next 24 hours. Yeah, that's happening within a day, by the way. So how does she deliver all that information in a way that her boyfriend will be receptive to? Brooke? Yeah. You're up.
No, I think I have this for you, Julie. Honestly, I think I've got this because anybody can stomach a guest for a week. Yeah. That's how you pitch it. You pitch it as a tram that needs a place to stay for a week, which is true. Oh, no. Which is true. You just don't say how many weeks it's going to add up to. What do you think about that? That's an interesting way to frame it.

Chapter 6: How does Julie's grandmother's behavior complicate her situation?
What's your advice? I think you got to play on his emotions. Stretch the truth a little bit, maybe. Tell him she may not have a lot of time left. Just in general. Oh, that's a risky one, too. It's kind of true. She's 85. She sounds like she's in great health. Yeah. She's drinking. She does. She's having fun at night.
I wouldn't bring up the alcohol until after she's passed out on the couch one morning. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Then that'd be a natural way to talk about it. But I don't know. What do you think about that advice? I don't know. I'm a little superstitious, so I don't really want to summon the Reaper on this one.
Pulling a sick family card always risks karma.
Yeah, that's true. Or you're going to curse yourself and she'll be around for another 50 years. But yeah, I think I'm going to take Brooke's advice and I have an angle of my own that I'm going to use. It's going to be a surprise, but it's still going to be pretty smooth, too. I don't think he's going to say no. Okay. I'm a little bit skeptical because nobody offers better advice than this group.
Actually, it's probably better than what we said. And Jeff is never sarcastic. No, not at all. But it's your phone call. You can do it how you want to. So we'll be on your side no matter what. I'm going to dial your boyfriend's number, and we'll let you make this awkward call, okay? All right. Thank you. Good luck. Here we go. Hello? Hey, babe. It's me. Hey, babe. How's it going? It's good.
It's good. How are you doing? I'm doing good. Are you calling from work or something? Something like that. I'm kind of busy right now, but I just wanted to give you a call because I was thinking of you. Very cool. I'm just chilling. Can't wait for this weekend. Oh, my God. I'm so excited. Yeah, this weekend is going to be awesome.
But I have some news for you, and I'm not sure how you're going to handle it.
What are you talking about?
Okay, so I don't know how you're going to take this, but I'm just going to get straight to the point.

Chapter 7: What are the potential consequences of Julie's grandmother moving in?
When's the last time that you changed a diaper? What? What? A diaper? What are you talking about? I mean, okay, let's say, hypothetically, we had a third person enter our apartment life, and they were going to be there for a very long time. That could be very exciting, right? Are you saying what I think you're saying?
I'm basically saying a big change is about to happen, and it's coming in the next 24 hours. 24 hours, wait a minute. Wait a minute, 24 hours, right? Did you like get pregnant like a year ago? What are you talking about? No, I did not get pregnant. Okay. I should have just come straight out with it earlier, but I have a grandma. What? I've never been more confused in my life. Yeah.
Basically I have a grandma and she's at an assisted living facility and she's about to get kicked out because she likes to drink and Rick roll people. Whoa. I didn't even know you had a grandma, but she's getting kicked out of her retirement home? Yeah. Listen, apparently one of the attendants caught her multiple times. She had several men, older ones, younger ones. It didn't matter.
They all came into her room, and security and the nurse staff, everybody, they've just reached a point where they're absolutely fed up, and they just don't want her anymore. Wow, that is crazy. I'm sorry to hear that, but why were you saying she's, like, coming to our house? Like, what do you mean? Basically, I'm hoping that you'll let her sleep in your bed. What?
Dude, I'm not hooking up with your grandma. This is really the year. Oh, my God. No, that's not what I'm saying. Come on.
Oh, my God. We can't let this go on any farther.
Never deliver news ever again. Just ever. Julie, your delivery. Oh, my God. I meant that me and you, Jason, we can sleep on the couch so that she has a place to get over her hangover, okay? What? What? That is not better, Julie. I didn't hear anything you just said. I just heard a bunch of voices laughing. Like, there's people on the phone. What's going on? Yeah. Yeah.
These people are part of a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And honestly, we should have stopped Julie from talking probably three minutes ago. Mm-hmm.
yeah jason i'm sorry i just i really didn't know how to tell you and i just figured this was the only way like i just needed help so yeah say that that is not the help we offered jason no we didn't mention anything about diaper changing at all this is like a prank right you're joking no jason i'm just kidding about having a baby but my grandma's gonna move in oh

Chapter 8: How does Jason react to the news about Julie's grandmother?
Oh, now you're going to do it. She got there. Nice. Yeah. Grandma needs to live with you, Jason. I'm still, like, getting over the fact that I thought we were having a baby. Yeah. So this is much better news than the baby. Yeah, actually. I have a feeling that Grandma Judy is going to be a lot more work than a baby. Don't say that. Don't say that. Focus on that.
She likes to make drinks, and maybe she'll cook once in a while. Yeah, I mean, there is the chance that she could, you know, make us drinks and cook, and, you know, she could hang out with your dog while you're at work. Okay, there's some positives. Now we're talking. But you need to know that at the assisted living facility, they do not let her cook.
They do not let her near hot objects or sharp objects. She's a liability. All right, I don't know if you're selling it very well there, Julie. Maybe she'll make cereal? Has Jason fainted? Are you even on the phone? Yeah, bro. Are you okay, Jason? I had no idea she had a grandmother until like two minutes ago. That's why it's always risky to move in with a new girlfriend right away.
A lot of things you don't know yet still. At least she's a fun grandma. Yeah, I guess, like, she can stay for, like, 48 hours, but we should probably be looking for other places, like, right away. Yeah. Yeah. Apartments that don't have any stoves or hot objects, plug-ins, anything around. Maybe 48-hour leases. Yeah, just get her in that for that 48 hours. We'll see when she leaves. Yeah, yeah.
Look up the squatter laws. Play it by ear from there. Jason, thank you so much. You seriously are so sweet for letting her stay. I'm like, I'm seriously so grateful. Oh, that's cute. Look at that. And Julie did tell us that she'd pitch in for half the rent now that grandma's moving in. Oh, yeah. Oh, I was hoping you guys would forget.
Come on.
It's much cheaper than that nursing home.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
I don't know if that whole situation is going to end up working out for all three of them. But I just can't wait for her boyfriend to come back to his apartment next week and walk in on grandma doing body shots off the Jonas Brothers. Yeah. I mean, I think grandma has that type of pull. Yeah. I actually feel like what's going to end up happening is he's going to end up having to move out.
