04 Feb 2025

Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the theme of this episode?

1444.281 - 1444.822 Jerry

They're trained.

1445.362 - 1464.192 Justin

But is that... But they're not... So you don't feel that she's consciously being like, wow, their kitchen sucks. I really need to help them. You think it's all out of this little selling technique. I do believe that. But then do you also believe that when she says that her face really looked rough?

0

1465.732 - 1484.262 Jerry

It's horrible that somebody would think that. I'm trying to look at the... For the right word that I'm trying to captivate, the bottom line is it's horrible that they... She even said it. The bottom line is that if she sees something that she wants to get for the kitchen, she can go buy it and give a gift. No one's stopping her.

1485.063 - 1502.962 Jerry

I mean, I see stuff that I may want to get you guys, and I'll just go buy it. And I'll say, here you go. I think I may have bought some oil because I love the good olive oil. I know it's good polyphenols. Not that you guys can't buy olive oil, but you may have been unaware of this polyphenol.

1503.022 - 1517.187 Jerry

I bought it from my brother, in fact, and I sent it to him because I thought it would be healthier for him. Now, he got an olive oil as a gift. He gets to make that choice. Does he want to use it or throw it away?

1518.027 - 1518.187 Morgan

Yeah.

1519.537 - 1530.268 Jerry

And that's where it is. So, I mean, I say, if she sees something, she wants to get them as a gift by all means, buy them the gift, but don't call them and say, Hey, I'll get you half off for this.

1530.348 - 1552.497 Justin

Yeah. Well, and I think what you're saying earlier about the setting the boundary, what you started with, I think if you're concerned at all that, Maybe this is all due to the marketing schemes or maybe a little bit she doesn't like me. I think when you set the boundary though, because we don't have the full context of every part of this. We have little snapshots.

1553.057 - 1576.917 Justin

But I think if those are both playing in your mind, setting this boundary and kind of shutting down this marketing side of things, the way she responds to it and the way things happen going forward, I think will really reveal that. if it is all in that eggs are all in that one basket, or if there's some issues between, I just think everything you started with,

Chapter 2: How to handle a mother-in-law who refuses to be called mom?

2377.036 - 2398.943 Justin

That's fine. I mean, at this point, sure, you can bring it up. But wouldn't you just think if people kept getting Morgan something she hated and it happened two years in a row, don't you think the common sense thing that I would do as her partner would be like, hey, guys, by the way, this is a little awkward, but she really doesn't like this stuff. Like, let's find some other things.

0

2399.564 - 2402.585 Justin

Don't you think as someone's partner you would do that? You know, something you...

0

2406.109 - 2433.266 Jerry

I'm getting an applaud from Morgan for her fiance that they have a meeting of the minds and they agree on this. I really feel at this point in time exactly that she has a mouth. She is a part of the family. She can speak up and she can do this and just say, I'm allergic at this point. I can't go in the past. I only can go forward. He didn't do it in the past. She didn't do it in the past.

0

2433.586 - 2445.816 Jerry

Everybody could have done it in the past. But she is the adult here. She's the one that's receiving these gifts. And she had no problem to say, guys, I have an allergy. I can't do it anymore.

0

2446.736 - 2470.564 Justin

I totally agree with you. I think she can definitely do it at this point. I just would also like to add along in there a question to husband and be like, So why didn't you do this? Like, we have a great solution, yes. We all agree on how we're moving forward and how this is a non-issue going forward. But I'd just like to know, like, why?

2470.584 - 2493.087 Jerry

I'm with you. He didn't do it. Do I want to go be frustrated with him at this point? I do not. I mean, it's past. You know, if it was a contention for her, she could have easily gone to him and say, this is a problem for me. I don't want to address your family. Can you please do it? And they could have had that conversation.

2493.687 - 2498.008 Justin

And set the standard for the future. Because this could come up in many different aspects of life.

2498.028 - 2501.249 Jerry

Then set that standard that it's up to you to go fix my problems.

2501.829 - 2509.55 Justin

Well, no, not that, but more just, hey, let's have each other's back a little bit in this life.
