Hi.

Welcome back to another episode of Dopamine and Detours. We're this week, we're a day late and a dollar short.

SPEAKER_02 0:22

Well, you people be slacking. We only have like minimal listeners out there. Step those numbers up. Slackers. But the people that I'm talking to are the only ones that are listening, so this little defeat defeats the purpose here.

SPEAKER_06 0:41

It does. Okay, I'm gonna play this and we're gonna answer these questions. Okay. Oh, this might be loud. Alright, ready?

SPEAKER_02 5:00

Oh.

SPEAKER_06 5:02

Good job you passed the immigration test.

SPEAKER_02 5:05

Yeah, I answered every single question. Right. Correctly. I have more. Oh, okay. I feel like Jeopardy.

SPEAKER_06 5:15

If you lost me in a grocery store, what aisle would you check first?

SPEAKER_02 5:21

Well, right now in this current moment. Yeah. Probably the cereal aisle. It'd be parked next to the Cocoa Pebbles.

SPEAKER_06 5:31

I did spend way too long in the cereal aisle just now because I wanted chocolate Cheerios.

SPEAKER_02 5:38

I'm surprised you didn't come home with some nasty chocolate cereal that wasn't good.

SPEAKER_06 5:44

You like cocoa pups?

SPEAKER_02 5:46

No, I don't like chocolate.

SPEAKER_06 5:47

I don't like chocolate flavored cereal.

SPEAKER_06 5:54

You like fruit like fruity pebbles?

SPEAKER_02 5:56

Yeah, I'd rather have fruity pebbles than cocoa pebbles.

unknown 5:59

Gross.

SPEAKER_06 6:01

If I lost you in the grocery store, what would you check first?

SPEAKER_02 6:05

Well, I wouldn't check because I would be the one that lost. So what would you check?

SPEAKER_06 6:10

That's what I'm asking myself. If I couldn't find you, it's probably because you were staring at the protein bars.

SPEAKER_02 6:20

That's probably fair.

SPEAKER_06 6:23

If I had a warning label.

SPEAKER_02 6:27

Yeah. Catch me in that juice on the other hand.

SPEAKER_06 6:30

If I had a warning label, what would it say?

SPEAKER_02 6:33

Caution.

SPEAKER_06 6:38

Yeah, that was rude. What did you just think in your head?

SPEAKER_02 6:42

Caution. I was gonna say will attack. But then I was thinking like, hmm.

SPEAKER_04 6:55

Like, uh I don't know. What are the signs they have for the mean dogs?

SPEAKER_06 7:08

Beware of dogs.

SPEAKER_02 7:09

Yeah, but like Beware of the pregnant wife.

SPEAKER_06 7:16

I'm only mean to you.

SPEAKER_02 7:18

Yeah. That's fair.

SPEAKER_06 7:20

Yours would say caution, we'll bore you with dumb golf facts and peptide information.

SPEAKER_02 7:26

That sounds exciting.

SPEAKER_06 7:30

What's the one thing you'd never let me be in charge of?

SPEAKER_02 7:38

Cooking the meats.

SPEAKER_06 7:39

Hmm, that was a good one. I don't want to be in charge of that.

SPEAKER_02 7:45

You don't be cooking meats, Doc.

SPEAKER_06 7:49

What is the one thing I would not let you be in charge of?

SPEAKER_02 7:54

I don't know. That's a great question.

SPEAKER_06 7:58

Deep cleaning.

SPEAKER_02 8:00

Pushesha. I just deep cleaned the bathroom. What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_06 8:03

You didn't even take the trashes out.

SPEAKER_02 8:06

I scrubbed everything.

SPEAKER_06 8:08

You didn't even take the trashes out. They weren't full. We're gonna move on. What's my go-to excuse when I don't want to do something? My feet hurt. That is not fair. My feet are literally gigantic. You asked. I get upset. That's stupid, though.

SPEAKER_02 8:33

Okay, you want should we try something else? Um try it again, ask me again, and I'll think of non-pregnant version you. Thank you. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 8:44

What's my go-to excuse when I don't want to do something?

SPEAKER_02 8:49

I don't want to do that.

SPEAKER_06 8:52

I don't really come up with excuses.

SPEAKER_02 8:54

Because I don't want to.

SPEAKER_06 8:56

I just say I don't want to. What's your go-to excuse? You're kind of the same. I just don't want to. Except we're different. I will tell the people, I just don't really want to go, not feeling it today. Can we try to reach out? Yes, you blame it on me.

SPEAKER_02 9:16

Yeah, because you don't care.

SPEAKER_06 9:17

Or you'll come up with like an You you feel like you have to have an excuse to people. Like, oh, we can't, we're not gonna come because and this and this, where I'm like, we're just we just don't want to. We're gonna just not today. Thank you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:32

I blame it on the phone.

SPEAKER_06 9:33

This is why you have friends and I don't.

SPEAKER_02 9:35

I blame it on you because it's easier that way. It's so messed up. But you usually you don't want to do things, so it's easy to be like That's not true. Well, the things I have to like pawn off on you. But like, oh yeah, she just she doesn't want to go golfing.

SPEAKER_06 9:53

When have I ever not wanted to go golfing?

SPEAKER_02 9:56

When it's cold.

SPEAKER_06 9:57

I don't get invited.

SPEAKER_02 9:58

Or real early in the morning.

SPEAKER_06 10:01

If our relationship was a weather pattern, what would it be right now?

SPEAKER_02 10:06

Right now, it'd probably be like outside. It's like nice and sunny on the surface, but it's a little windy out there. Things blowing around.

SPEAKER_06 10:17

Yeah. I did just have a whole therapy session about you today.

SPEAKER_02 10:23

Yeah. I was supposed to probably do.

SPEAKER_06 10:27

If you had to describe me to a therapist, where would you start?

SPEAKER_02 10:33

She's mean. With her words. She gets mad at me for not reading her mind. That's what I would say.

SPEAKER_06 10:45

Soup's not true. I tell you the thing on my mind and then you don't do it.

SPEAKER_02 10:50

Okay. I guess I would say she gets mad at me for not completing tasks on her timeline.

SPEAKER_06 10:57

Thank you. That feels fair and accurate.

SPEAKER_02 11:00

Yeah, because it is.

SPEAKER_06 11:03

If I had to describe you through a therapist, where would you start? I say nice things about you.

SPEAKER_02 11:08

Yeah, because you say all the mean things to my face.

SPEAKER_06 11:13

Today I described you as very kind and thoughtful.

SPEAKER_02 11:20

Hmm. That's nice.

SPEAKER_06 11:22

And then followed it up with he's not very compassionate though. So if I called you from jail, what's your first guess for why I'm there?

SPEAKER_02 11:31

Not again. Sorry.

SPEAKER_06 11:39

We're gonna move on. Not again, is crazy to say. If you called me from jail, what's my first guess for why you're there? Honestly.

SPEAKER_02 11:53

Guess why I'm there? Is that what the question was?

SPEAKER_06 11:56

Yeah, what's if I called you from jail, what's your first guess for why I'm there? I would think that it would be my cousin running his mouth and you getting involved unnecessarily and you both getting arrested.

SPEAKER_04 12:10

Hmm.

SPEAKER_02 12:11

Maybe.

SPEAKER_06 12:12

That feels accurate.

SPEAKER_04 12:15

Could happen. Potentially.

SPEAKER_06 12:24

That was it. That was all of the seven.

SPEAKER_02 12:25

Yeah. Easy piece of cake.

SPEAKER_06 12:29

I could find more. What's the weirdest thing you find attractive about me?

SPEAKER_02 12:40

Probably that you're mean. Wow. No, this that you it's not really weird. I don't think there's any weird things. What do you do that's weird?

SPEAKER_06 12:51

What's the weirdest thing I find attractive about you? What's the weirdest thing I panic? I thought it was attractive the other day when you plugged in my foot massager. Acts of kindness? What's the weirdest thing?

SPEAKER_02 13:11

That's an odd question, because it's like if I thought it was weird, but I think it's attractive.

SPEAKER_06 13:18

Okay. If we were characters in a sitcom, what would our show be called?

SPEAKER_02 13:24

Hmm. Dopamine and Detours.

SPEAKER_06 13:27

There you go. What's your favorite thing I wear that I have no idea you love?

SPEAKER_02 13:36

Hmm. What's say it, say it, read it to me one more time.

SPEAKER_06 13:42

What's your favorite thing I wear that I have no idea you love?

SPEAKER_02 13:46

Hmm. I like when you wear your bucket hat.

SPEAKER_06 13:49

Hmm. I like when you wear your vans. Got my vans on, but they look like sneakers. If you had to describe me using only food, what would I be?

SPEAKER_02 13:57

Cafe Rio.

SPEAKER_04 14:00

Or a cheeseburger. That's where you would be.

SPEAKER_02 14:08

A cafe Rio salad burger.

SPEAKER_06 14:11

Mmm, gross. What would you be? Steak.

SPEAKER_02 14:20

Or tacos, probably.

SPEAKER_06 14:21

I was thinking some type of taco and a soda taco. What's the most embarrassing thing I've done in front of you? I think it just happened the other day.

SPEAKER_02 14:32

I was gonna say there's this thing that's coming to my mind right now that I don't know if you want me to put on the interwebs.

SPEAKER_06 14:38

Did it just happen the other day?

SPEAKER_02 14:39

Yeah. Yeah, we almost died. As a collective family. There was a gas leak in our house.

SPEAKER_04 14:57

Reverberated off of my leg.

SPEAKER_06 15:05

That was so embarrassing.

SPEAKER_02 15:11

The messed up part is you got totally up out of your spot and literally came and sat on me and then got got all cozy and you ripped ass on my leg. And then it stunk. So that that's probably my answer.

SPEAKER_06 15:36

Yeah, that's fair. That was embarrassing. I don't know. What's the most embarrassing thing you've done in front of me?

SPEAKER_02 15:43

Probably happened to me the other day too.

SPEAKER_06 15:47

You farted on me?

SPEAKER_02 15:49

No, I didn't fart. Remember you were outside? You were sitting on the patio and I came to join you.

SPEAKER_06 15:59

No, what happened? This is you got in bear story.

SPEAKER_03 16:24

I sound like a teapot right now. You have to say it because I can't.

SPEAKER_02 16:37

Yeah, that's pretty embarrassing. Uh Ash was on the back patio chilling in the sunshine, and I I was inside and the dogs were outside, and everyone was just chilling, and I was swiftly walking to the outside. Sorry guys, our batteries died. Anyways, like I was saying, I was swiftly walking to the outside, and we have one of those uh on our sliding glass door where the screen door would be. We have one of those like magnetic like screen doors. I don't know if you've seen them, but they like open up. Well, I thought that that was just what was there, and I ran face first into the sliding glass door.

SPEAKER_03 17:25

It was so funny for me.

SPEAKER_02 17:26

Like legit boom. Well, I'm pretty sure my forehead is still smudged on the glass.

SPEAKER_06 17:34

It is. That was the funniest thing that's ever happened.

SPEAKER_02 17:38

Yeah, that that got me good.

SPEAKER_06 17:42

That was funny.

SPEAKER_02 17:43

Rang my bell a bit, a wee bit.

SPEAKER_06 17:46

Is it still going?

SPEAKER_02 17:47

It's still going.

SPEAKER_06 17:48

Alright.

SPEAKER_02 17:51

Our batteries might die again. Sorry. Beware. Is that was that all the questions?

SPEAKER_06 17:58

Oh. Yeah. No, but while we were having technical difficulties, I left. Um, let's see, let's see, let's see. Do-do-do.

SPEAKER_02 18:12

What do you have now? You left and went nowhere? Or did you pull up your Reddit? When you don't, what do you got?

SPEAKER_06 18:23

Yeah, I was gonna pull up some Reddit. And then we were done.

SPEAKER_02 18:29

Well let's do the thing.

SPEAKER_06 18:30

Okay, I have options.

SPEAKER_02 18:36

What are your options?

SPEAKER_06 18:37

Sorry, hold on. If it says it's an update, oof no. Okay. Boyfriend's mom wants to be at the hospital when I give birth, but I don't know how to tell her no. My sister has been saying she and her husband oh, we already read that one.

SPEAKER_02 19:00

So you don't have options.

SPEAKER_06 19:03

I do. I might break up my engagement because my fiance doesn't eat my food. Wait, did we read that one?

SPEAKER_04 19:10

Mm-mm.

SPEAKER_06 19:13

Am I the asshole for not adding my baby's father to the birth certificate or giving the baby his surname?

SPEAKER_02 19:20

Ooh, that could be juicy.

SPEAKER_04 19:24

Do you want to do that one? True.

SPEAKER_02 19:30

Was he like active father, showed up, was there, everything? Because if so, that's hacked up.

SPEAKER_06 19:37

I'm 2024.

SPEAKER_02 19:41

He's 2024? Female?

SPEAKER_06 19:43

It says I'm 2024.

SPEAKER_02 19:45

Yeah, you are.

SPEAKER_06 19:48

Hmm. Okay, that's confusing. I, 35 female, visited my home country after living abroad for several several years. While I was back, I met a guy on Hinge. He's 38 male. We headed off straight away and ended up talking every day for months, even after I returned to the country where I was working. On a second visit home, I fell pregnant. Around that time I had slept with H that's him, that's what she's calling him, and one other person. So there were genuine doubts about paternity. H was honest that he didn't want to commit his relationship. He said he enjoyed sleeping around, and I was also going back abroad, so things were complicated from the start. After the 12-week mark, we were still speaking daily, and I told him about the pregnancy and the uncertainty. I came back again for the holidays and we actually had a really nice time together. Bonding over my bump, it felt hopeful. But when I went back abroad, I found out he was still actively dating other people. That hurt a lot, especially because I had lent him money, which was never repaid, and he was effectively using that money to take other women on dates. To be fair him to be fair to him, he never promised exclusivity, but I thought given the situation, he might change his mind. At the time, I blamed myself a bit, thinking the paternity doubts might have pushed him away. Eventually I moved back home permanently, had the baby, and moved into the house with a relative. The baby is 100% H's, no doubt now. Probably look just like him. H was present at the hospital, but honestly he wasn't very supportive. I had an emergency C section and he complained quite a bit about his own discomfort. So eventually he went home to rest. The first night I was alone, terrified, sitting upright with a newborn who sounded like he was struggling to breathe. I was too scared to lie down and physically couldn't move properly. It was a rough start. Now, a year later, H lives about five miles away. There's a train station near both of us and it's about fifteen to twenty minute walk on my end. He works part-time, but despite that, he only sees the baby anywhere from once a week to once a month. His main reason is that he quote can't handle the commute. When he does come over, he'll stay one to three nights. He is kind to the baby, patient, and generally generally helpful around the house. But he gets tired quickly, becomes irritable, and then leaves. Even if he doesn't have work. That used to really upset me, but over time I've just gotten used to it. Financially he contributes nothing. I currently can't work because I have no childcare, so I'm relying on savings, benefits, and help from friends and family. I can't breathe.

SPEAKER_02 22:42

She definitely doesn't live in the US, tell you that.

SPEAKER_06 22:45

H says he doesn't have much money, but he still smokes and spends money on g on money on games he plays. I get people that people are allowed to have their own spending, but it's hard not to notice he has some disposable income, yet none of it goes towards his child. When I registered the birth, H wasn't there, so I registered the baby with just me, my chosen first name and my surname. Since then, H has repeatedly asked to be added to the birth certificate and wants the baby to have his surname. I've said no. Part of it is practical. I don't see us being together long term, and I may want to move abroad again. I don't want someone who is minimally involved to have legal control over decisions like that. Part of it is emotional. I feel like I've done the vast majority of the work. Pregnancy, birth, sleepless nights, financial responsibility, and it doesn't sit right with me that he can just step in, put his name on everything, and leave. There's also smaller things like not loving his surname in English, but that's not the main issue. He says I'm being unfair, and that he has a right to be recognized as a father. I'm torn because biologically he is a dad, but in reality, his involvement has been inconsistent. But on the other hand, he's tried to show commitment on paper. He casually said one day in the bathroom that we should get married now, and was upset when I turned him down. I don't think I want to marry anyone, and definitely don't think we should be doing it just because we have a baby together. Recently he's got behind on rent, so is also trying to move in with me. I've said absolutely not because he cannot handle staying here for a few days, let alone more permanent situation. I think without a solid foundation, living together will just be strained. And I just feel like he says the right things, but doesn't step up to support any of us in any real substantial way. Am I the asshole?

SPEAKER_02 24:43

Nah, fuck that guy.

SPEAKER_06 24:46

That's hard to read.

SPEAKER_02 24:47

Fuck that guy. The thing about it is it it sounds like maybe he's trying a little bit now. Too little too late, pal. Too little too late. You weren't there. You weren't you didn't help her when she came out of the hospital.

SPEAKER_06 25:10

Sorry. That was made me tired reading that for some reason.

SPEAKER_02 25:14

None of that is good. None of that is good. This guy's a real piece of work.

SPEAKER_06 25:18

Well, I'm wondering why he even wants that anyways. And why does he suddenly now want to get married?

SPEAKER_02 25:23

Probably because he doesn't have any money.

SPEAKER_06 25:26

Yeah, he wants to marry her so he has somewhere to live.

SPEAKER_02 25:30

Yeah. Also, she don't have a job, so. Where are they getting that money?

SPEAKER_06 25:38

Sounds like she had a good savings.

SPEAKER_02 25:42

Yeah. And doesn't live in America. Yeah, what a real piece of work that guy is. That's all I gotta say about that.

SPEAKER_06 25:53

Top comment. He's a hobosexual.

SPEAKER_02 25:56

Yeah. That's kind of funny.

SPEAKER_06 26:01

Another top comment. I don't know the laws in OP's country, but in the UK, if H moves in with OP, she'd have to go through hell to get him out. He wants to use her to finance him. If he's on the birth certificate and married to her, he'd have control over where she and the baby can go. There's no way this guy would be moving in with me. I don't know why OP is even letting this guy stay with her.

SPEAKER_02 26:28

I feel like they are in the UK, but maybe not. I don't know why it made me I don't know why I was feeling that vibe, but He sounds like a terrible person.

SPEAKER_06 26:40

Yeah. It sucks she had a baby with him.

SPEAKER_02 26:42

Yeah, well. It kinda happens when you sleep around. Could happen if you sleep around.

SPEAKER_06 26:50

So since we're married, do I have a choice of whether or not to put your name on the birth certificate?

SPEAKER_02 26:58

I don't know. I don't think you have a choice.

SPEAKER_06 27:01

It just happens because we're married?

SPEAKER_02 27:03

Yeah, I think so.

SPEAKER_04 27:11

No, what happens if you were getting divorced?

SPEAKER_02 27:18

What if you got divorced before you had the baby? Is that our dog? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 27:26

An odd sound.

SPEAKER_06 27:31

Generally, yes. If you're married at the time of birth, the law in most places automatically presumes your husband is the legal father and his name is typically listed on the birth certificate without him needing to sign it.

SPEAKER_05 27:44

Dang.

SPEAKER_04 27:49

Dang dang dang.

SPEAKER_06 27:51

This was a hard episode.

SPEAKER_02 27:55

Why?

SPEAKER_06 27:56

Um, because we recorded four minutes and then it my microphone wasn't working.

SPEAKER_02 28:03

Oh.

SPEAKER_06 28:04

And then halfway through, we did have some technical thing died, and now reading that story for some reason took all of the air out of my lungs, and now I'm tired. We don't got much room in those lungs. Reading that, I felt like I was suffocating.

SPEAKER_02 28:20

There's not a lot of space in there. It's true.

SPEAKER_06 28:27

Brandy wants us to get her friend Paula on the podcast to talk about child development.

SPEAKER_02 28:35

Sure, come on down, Paula. Come on down.

SPEAKER_06 28:41

It would be kind of fun to have her and Brandy.

SPEAKER_02 28:44

Oh, yeah. Yeah. They could just steal the show for us too. We could just guide them. I love that. One day we'll have a guest.

SPEAKER_06 29:01

He is another comment. He's staying the night. Assume he does for a reason, which is not the child he clearly could care less about. OP, I don't get why you didn't sue him for child support. Without any other means of income, you clearly need the money. Going to co court over it will get him added to the birth certificate, so he'll get 50% of what he demands. But the baby will keep your last name and you'll get child support. So I'd still count it as a win. Wait, what?

SPEAKER_02 29:33

Yeah, I think like he can add to the birth certificate, because right now he doesn't have to pay child support because he's not on the birth certificate.

SPEAKER_06 29:42

Right.

SPEAKER_02 29:45

Pretty sure that's how that works. Or I guess do they have to be added to the birth certificate, or they just have to Sounds like what money?

SPEAKER_06 29:55

He has a let's go after his money. He has no money. It's where he's trying to b take hers.

SPEAKER_02 30:01

Well anything that he would make would be garnished if he didn't willingly pay it. Maybe that's just in the United States.

SPEAKER_04 30:11

No say.

SPEAKER_06 30:21

Yeah, that wasn't a very good one. No. No, you're not the asshole. No, don't add him to the birth certificate.

SPEAKER_02 30:28

Yeah, he's a douchebag.

SPEAKER_06 30:32

I'm surprised that thing's still alive and it hasn't died.

SPEAKER_02 30:34

He doesn't deserve that. Oh, I have ASMR.

SPEAKER_06 30:42

Don't do that. Okay, well, I have to be done because I'm dying.

SPEAKER_02 30:47

Be done then. Take us away, cowgirl.

SPEAKER_06 30:50

You take us away. Take us home. Take me away.

SPEAKER_02 30:54

I think I just tried to sing for like four different songs.

SPEAKER_06 30:58

What even was that?

SPEAKER_02 30:59

I don't know. We're just gonna we're just gonna end on that note, guys. Any hoosier. Um you know the drill. Like it, subscribe it, and share with a friend. You forgot to give somebody a hug.

SPEAKER_06 31:17

Bye.

SPEAKER_02 31:19

Boys.
