Talk Embarrassing To Me
Have you ever had your family involved in your dating life… because I have. Enough said the episode will speak for itself.
Hey guys and welcome back to another episode of Talk Podcasts to me. Last episode I ended it with promising you guys an embarrassing story, so let's just dive right into it. But first I gotta give you guys some background story and some details. So get your draws ready because they're gonna be on the floor and you're gonna be laughing.
Courtney Gilroy:So, background story of my life I have a step-grandma. My grandpa got remarried years ago and she's been in my life for a very long time and I didn't ask her permission to share the story. But you know what, after you guys listen to it, you're gonna understand I don't care to share the thing because I just it's great, it's good to, it's a good one. So I love her. This is my disclosure. I still love her and she's family, but this is embarrassing. So, yeah, I have a step-grandma. She's younger, she's like late 60s. My grandpa's like 88. Is it bad that? I don't know? My grandpa's 88, 89. I don't. God bless him and really God bless him that he has someone that much younger than him. So my grandparents are very loving people and they always want to give prayer cards to anyone that comes into their life and they gave one to my ex and they gave one to my friends. They've given them To me. Every time I get a new card, they'll get one. My family has them, so this is where the story gets fun. So back in the summertime, with none of her business, my, we'll call her Mima. I call her Mima. She wanted to send him a prayer card for his job and for this new role that he's about to take on, and she's like I want to give you guys a blessing, I want to send you a prayer card. And he was like okay, just give my address from Courtney, no problem.
Courtney Gilroy:And me being me knowing some things, I just had a weird feeling. I was like I don't really want her to have his address and I don't even want her to know his last name. I don't know why. It was just my gut instinct and like, let me just not. So I was like I'll send it so fast forward. She's like I really just want to send it, I don't want to bother you, whatever. So I was like okay, fine, here's his address, his name, whatever. And I said, please, if we find him on Facebook, and try adding him or you do anything else, just like it's going to be a problem. Like, please just don't, because I just there's been other stories anyway, boundaries and she's like no, I promise, like I just am going to send this prayer card.
Courtney Gilroy:I went great, so fast forward to, like I said we're good, we ended on okay terms, but she still wants to send this prayer card and to my knowledge, I thought that she already sent it and my niece and nephew wrote that, wrote him letters, so they sent that. So along with that, she sent it like a week later and he wasn't even home. So like he got this like all at once, so like we ended things when he wasn't home, so like he got back and got all these things and we haven't talked at that point. So it was like that was already awkward. So now, fast forward to. I haven't talked to him and I don't know. I want to say it was like a month maybe.
Courtney Gilroy:So I go to the Jets game and it was salute to service and I was just like thinking about him you know he's so, he's a good person or whatever and I was like you know what I text him like I haven't talked to him. I don't know why. I'm just like feeling, you know, I mean the feels a little bit. I'm like let me just see how he is. So I show him a text. I was like hey, how are you? Hope all as well. Like do you think we can hop on the phone tomorrow and just like catch up? He was like yeah for sure.
Courtney Gilroy:So I end up running into somebody I've known for years that I haven't seen in so long. So she was like wait, I need to know who is this none of your business? And I was like, oh, like I'm actually texting right now. Do you want to meet him? Let me FaceTime him. She's like yeah, so I FaceTime him.
Courtney Gilroy:He knows about like this whole thing. He's like this whole none of your business thing is so funny. Like how invested people got, as it's mind blowing to me. Like if you don't share someone, how much people are very invested. And this is also another reason why I don't feel like I share anybody I'm with. I'm just gonna constantly give everybody names because, yeah, I just it's just too much. I feel like it's like an aspect of my life. I want private. So like that's also why I started that whole thing.
Courtney Gilroy:So anyway, it became like a whole joke between people. Like I get DMs about it anytime I put a question up. People always ask questions, whatever. So she's like I'm invested, I need to know who it is. So I FaceTime him and he's like hey, what's up? And he said so I'm at MetLife right now and I ran into a family friend and they wanted to know about not every business. So I said let me FaceTime him. So he's like hi, how are you? Whatever. So then I was like let me go somewhere quiet, like I haven't literally haven't talked to you. So like, let me just like say hi. So I was like how are you like whatever? He's like wait while I have you or I have to tell you something. So I'm like, okay, and like you know, my thoughts are going crazy because I'm like I'm a girl, hormones, all that whatever.
Courtney Gilroy:I think was PMSing too. So I was like oh god, like what are you about to lay on me? So he was like your grandma emailed me and I was like what? What do you mean? And I'm thinking like my grandma, like my dad's mom, who I call grandma, and I'm like she doesn't even know how to use email, like what. So he was like your Mima and I'm like oh god, she emailed you. It's like yeah, I'm like how did she get your email? He's like I don't know. That's why I'm asking you and I'm like I'm just embarrassed.
Courtney Gilroy:I paused the conversation. I went to the bar. I took a shot because I was like I just need to know what this, what happened. I go back to the bathroom and I'm like what did she say? So he sends me the email and it was like about the prayer card, that she sent the prayer card and she just wanted to know if he got it. And she hasn't heard anything from him. Which why would you? It's like she knew that we stopped talking, so like why would he reach out? Just assume he got it. Pray that he got it. I don't know.
Courtney Gilroy:And I was like mortified and I'm like this is so embarrassing. And he's like, yes, so not only did I get it, my brother got it too. And I'm just I'm on the phone, my jaw's on the floor, and I'm like I have no idea. I have no words. I'm like I have no idea how she got it, like I don't, I never gave her your email. I don't even know your email, honestly, and I'm like this is just embarrassing and I'm like I never even met your brother. Probably things are crazy.
Courtney Gilroy:So I was like, yeah, remember, when I said I was going to call you to bar to catch up? Uh, yeah, it's totally fine, we don't even need to talk. I was like I'm just so embarrassed right now because what is this? Like boundaries, talk about boundaries. So he was like no, it's totally fine, like that was really nice. And she said to I was like no, no, no, no, no idea, this is not okay, I'm not okay, I'm mortified. And I'm just like in my head I'm like this kid is probably like thank God that we don't talk. I'm just like, oh God, like this is just, this is embarrassing. So, anyway, how I left that off with that. I was just like I'm really sorry, no, I had no involvement in this and I will handle this and I'm just going to bother talking to you tomorrow because I'm so embarrassed.
Courtney Gilroy:So it's like a hopeful as well and this is us catching up and okay, good luck with everything, whatever. So hang up. And now I'm like let me deal with Mima. So I texted her and I was like hey, um, hope, all's well. I just want to know why you emailed none of your business and his brother, because I never gave you his emails. So how'd you get that? Whatever? Like, we need to have a conversation about this because I feel very uncomfortable and again, I actually was very toying around with even sharing the story because I think it's hilarious now and it was very awkward and uncomfortable then. I'm just so embarrassed. But the more people I've told about it, they think it's hilarious and they're like please share this. Like the world needs to hear it. And I'm like you know what? Whatever, I got nothing to lose. So I know everybody in their family has someone that's embarrassed them. So here I am sharing it.
Courtney Gilroy:Anyway, now this is the day after the game and I don't hear from her. I'm like why haven't I heard from her? Like I feel like she would try talking to me, whatever. So I go, call, goes to voicemail Like weird, they're always up early. Call again voicemail. And call my grandpa voicemail. Like what is happening? So I call it later on voicemail and I'm like did I just get blocked? Like did she block my number without even talking to me about this? Like what's happening? And I text my mom and I'm texting my cousin. I go, can you guys send a text message to see if it goes through. They send a text message. It goes through. I send a text message, it goes through to green. I'm like I can fucking blocked. Like and if you're watching YouTube, I'm wearing a sweatshirt that says blocked.
Courtney Gilroy:Just for the story, this is from call her daddy, so it just fits perfectly with being blocked. So I'm like, okay, so star 67 on my phone. I start calling and it goes through. She answers and I'm like hello. And she's like I was like what, what's happening right now? Like why am I blocked? Like, how did I have to just go through it? Like, why am I blocked? Like I'm coming to you, I want to talk to you about something that upset me. And she goes I don't feel like talking to you. And she hangs up and I'm like like my blood pressure is like boiling. I'm like what is going on right now?
Courtney Gilroy:So fast forward to like a week or two weeks goes by. I was blocked for a week and I was like you know what? I'm sick of this. So I emailed her, I pulled a her on her. I emailed her to unblock me and I said we need to have a conversation. Like what is going on right now? Why am I blocked? So I finally get unblocked and we didn't really talk about it. I actually talked to my grandpa about it too. He's like kind of middleman and she understood what I said and we had a boundary. So nowレーブ've to have North imae, there's boundary, and you're just not going to email somebody I used to talk to. So there's that.
Courtney Gilroy:Now, fast forward to, a couple weeks goes by. I'm a blocked and disclosure. My grandpa's okay, but he did go to the hospital. They just wanted to like check out everything. He like wasn't feeling good. He like fell to the floor and felt really weak. Turns out it was just his like blood pressure, but his blood pressure medicine.
Courtney Gilroy:But anyway, during this whole thing she obviously calls 911, whatever. There was a cop in her town that I used to talk to and she knew it. We knew like my family knew his family, whatever. I haven't talked to him and I couldn't even tell you my line. And when I said like we talked, like we didn't even date, we hung out a couple times. Like wasn't serious, it was just like whatever. Yeah, we hung out a couple times and both wanted different things. So now I'm like cool with this sister. Yeah, I actually asked his permission to share this and he said please, it's hilarious.
Courtney Gilroy:So he gets called to my grandparents' house and he goes and he's like pretty sure that this is like Courtney's grandparents and I have I have no idea if this happened at all. I found out from her telling me the story. She was like oh my God, so, and so was so great to us. And I was like it went over my head because like I haven't talked to this kid in so long that I just it didn't even. I didn't even put two and two together. I figured that if something was to happen. He got on call. Like he would have like called me and been like hey, I was just at your grandparents' house, everything okay. Like blah, blah, blah. So I'm like, huh, I'm like who is that? And then, like it all just clicked at once and I'm still recovering from the last embarrassing moment, which was only like a week and a half or two weeks prior. So I'm like, oh my God, I can only imagine what you said. So she was like yeah, he was so great, blah, blah.
Courtney Gilroy:So I hang up with her and I call him and I'm like Hi, I hope all is well. I know I haven't talked to you in a really long time. I just want to give a formal apology. I don't know what was said, but I'm sure something was said and I'm just embarrassed already. So, uh, sorry, he starts laughing. He's like oh, she's a riot, she was funny.
Courtney Gilroy:And I was like, oh God, what did she say? And he doesn't know the story at all, so he's just going off of what happened with him. He was like oh, she just asked me when I'm off my shift if I could come back over and make sure she's okay and take care of her, whatever. And I was like oh my God, like I'm like you're joking, you're joking. So it was like I apologize. And he's like why are you apologizing? And then I like tell him the previous story that I just shared with you guys. And he was dying. He was like that is hilarious and embarrassing. I'm like yeah, so you see why I'm calling and apologizing already. He's like Well, you're good, it's all fine, whatever. So I didn't even bring that back up with her because I was like there's no point, I'm probably getting blocked again. So two embarrassing stories within like a two week frame. It was great. So I figured I'd share that with you guys.
Courtney Gilroy:And if you guys are listening to this and if you had a bad week last week or you're having a bad day, you're just getting to this. Just know that it could be worse and you could have your step grandma emailing your ex and his brother, or telling somebody you used to talk to to come back after their shift and take care of you yeah, or I used to go to the cake. How could I forget? You can be blocked by her. So imagine being blocked by your grandma, because I know it happened.
Courtney Gilroy:So, yeah, I'm gonna leave you guys off with that one and I hope you guys have a great week. And yeah, I'm actually sharing this story because I think it's funny and going off of my last, my last, podcast episode, there's gonna be someone that's gonna laugh at this, is gonna be somebody who's not gonna care. There's gonna be somebody who's gonna judge it. So I hope you're one of the few that enjoy it, because I enjoy telling it every single time. All right, guys, have a great week, have a great day and don't get blocked by your grandparent.
