This week, it's all about a man named Gerald and a woman named Gerald, who is a certified guru and a Chief Apologizer.

00:01:13.000 Welcome uh this Friday mug club rumble premium.
00:01:16.000 They're basically one and the same now.
00:01:17.000 Uh users only.
00:01:19.000 This is a love letter to you, and you can see that I am not wearing uh my headphones, which is a rarity.
00:01:26.000 It's like you're naked.
00:01:29.000 Yeah.
00:01:30.000 Close.
00:01:31.000 What do you is that uh is that a Garden of Eden reference?
00:01:34.000 And they they realize that they were naked.
00:01:36.000 I mean you're gonna be.
00:01:37.000 You got an apple to hand me?
00:01:38.000 All right.
00:01:38.000 You tell us.
00:01:39.000 This is a great start.
00:01:40.000 So if you have not yet done so, uh, and I know we usually just do this when the show is is is wide to everybody.
00:01:47.000 Download the Rumble app.
00:01:48.000 Still the best way to stay in touch, and if you're a rumble premium member, it recognizes that automatically, and you can get access to all of it.
00:01:54.000 Listen to it as audio while you're driving.
00:01:56.000 Uh, because I know some of you think you can only do video on Rumble and then you download it on Apple or Spotify.
00:02:01.000 You can still keep playing it on your phone, just like audio.
00:02:03.000 We do appreciate it.
00:02:04.000 I am not wearing my headphones.
00:02:05.000 That was foreshadowing, because it can only mean it's one type of show.
00:02:10.000 It is time for tough love.
00:02:15.000 Tough love with Guru Crowder.
00:02:20.000 And this is the show where we take your uh letters, emails and no one sends letters anymore.
00:02:26.000 Unless it's a bomb.
00:02:29.000 And you can send them in to ToughLove at louder with crowder.com.
00:02:33.000 Uh this is relationship, uh friendship, life advice, business, whatever it is.
00:02:39.000 Anything anything you want, and by the way, um, we could be giving you horrible advice.
00:02:42.000 I just want you to know that too.
00:02:43.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:02:44.000 There's a little bit of roasting that goes on in this dude.
00:02:46.000 You saw the ride you bought a ticket.
00:02:48.000 There's a very strong chance that whatever we dole out here today is absolutely incorrect.
00:02:54.000 As far as what you should do.
00:02:56.000 So I'm just let me know.
00:02:57.000 That being said, it doesn't matter because I am a certified guru.
00:02:59.000 You are.
00:03:00.000 I'm a certified guru.
00:03:01.000 You live the stamp.
00:03:02.000 I paid for the stamps.
00:03:04.000 Actually, overpaid.
00:03:05.000 I put in one more stamp.
00:03:06.000 And I even needed to, just because that's how much the guruship meant to me.
00:03:10.000 And it's how much you care.
00:03:11.000 Yeah.
00:03:11.000 Also, we were just talking about this before going on air.
00:03:13.000 Uh stranger things.
00:03:15.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:03:15.000 Boy, did that turn into a pile of crap. 1.00
00:03:17.000 It did. 0.98
00:03:18.000 I was actually curious because I I liked the nostalgia of the show, and I was like, wait a minute, the last one got really demonic, but that they kind of stole that one, right?
00:03:24.000 Yeah, yeah, that's what I was saying.
00:03:25.000 I was watching it.
00:03:26.000 I remember that last and wait a second.
00:03:28.000 Okay, so it's uh so it's a guy who looks like all burned and he oh, if he kills you in the other the dream world, you die in the real world.
00:03:35.000 Yeah.
00:03:36.000 And he does so by preying on your worst fears. 0.98
00:03:38.000 I'm like, are you shitting me? 0.97
00:03:39.000 This is Freddie Kruger. 0.98
00:03:40.000 It's not even like you're not even without the uniform.
00:03:43.000 It couldn't be a more direct copy of Jason Voorhees if they included an early hockey mask and kill.
00:03:50.000 But this is this couldn't be more blatant.
00:03:52.000 So anyway, my advice is don't watch it.
00:03:57.000 Hold on, is that you and your are you speaking as a guru.
00:04:00.000 Okay, because as a guru.
00:04:01.000 Because then it's official. 1.00
00:04:02.000 As a guru, stranger things is a pile of dog shit. 1.00
00:04:07.000 All right. 1.00
00:04:09.000 You can send yours in to ToughLove at louderwithcrowder.com.
00:04:13.000 Uh here is our first letter.
00:04:15.000 It says Dear Guru Crowder and Chief Apologizer, Gerald.
00:04:18.000 I like that.
00:04:19.000 You got you know what?
00:04:20.000 You got the lower third correct.
00:04:22.000 Yeah.
00:04:24.000 My sister uh and I never really got along growing up.
00:04:28.000 Surprise.
00:04:29.000 Uh has to be in control of everything.
00:04:33.000 I can only tolerate that for so long.
00:04:35.000 Um we are in our 30s now, and my sister and her husband are both college professors in California gross.
00:04:41.000 Which I think explains a lot of the problem.
00:04:44.000 So she sees it at least.
00:04:45.000 That's good.
00:04:46.000 Well I don't know if this is a woman or a man.
00:04:47.000 Let me see.
00:04:47.000 Let me skip it.
00:04:48.000 Well, did you skip ahead?
00:04:49.000 Her sister.
00:04:50.000 Well.
00:04:51.000 What do you mean?
00:04:51.000 What?
00:04:52.000 I thought it said her sister.
00:04:53.000 It just says my sister.
00:04:54.000 Oh, no, you're right.
00:04:55.000 It's a woman, but just as my sister, yeah.
00:04:56.000 You just you just you see, that's the thing.
00:04:58.000 You fill in the blanks in your head and then you'll remember it, but if you're wrong.
00:05:02.000 But that's why I'm not a guru yet.
00:05:03.000 That's true.
00:05:04.000 Gurus wouldn't do that.
00:05:05.000 You'll never be a guru.
00:05:07.000 Say never.
00:05:08.000 You'll never be a guru.
00:05:09.000 There are many different paths.
00:05:10.000 Even if you get even if you pay for the stamps, we will never count you amongst us.
00:05:14.000 What?
00:05:16.000 So both college professors in California, which I think explains a lot of the problem.
00:05:19.000 They start meme.
00:05:20.000 They start political fights and then get upset and act as if I'm a horrible human being if I don't either implicitly agree by being silent or use the language they want.
00:05:29.000 It's as if the person who gets upset is always in the right, and since I'm not one to openly show such feelings, I'm always wrong.
00:05:36.000 I know exactly how that goes.
00:05:38.000 And that is something that uh you know, it's not just unique to your uh to your sister.
00:05:43.000 It happens a lot in relationships.
00:05:45.000 Um, and I will say particularly happens between men and women.
00:05:48.000 I I don't know, maybe it happens a lot between women, but with men and women, a man often has to control his emotions, right?
00:05:55.000 Especially if you're a big guy.
00:05:56.000 Yeah, right.
00:05:57.000 They'll say, Well, you're scary if you get mad.
00:05:58.000 So you control it, and if the opposing party cries or gets upset, you're also the bad guy.
00:06:04.000 So if you lose your cool, you're the bad guy.
00:06:06.000 And if you keep your cool and they're the only one getting emotional, it must mean that they feel it more deeply.
00:06:10.000 And uh it's kind of a dirty trick.
00:06:12.000 It happens a lot.
00:06:14.000 You can read books on this, and there are actually courses taught on sort of the weaponization of crying.
00:06:19.000 So this is not unique to you, and it sounds to me like your sister is um quite willing and able to manipulate right off the bat.
00:06:26.000 Yeah.
00:06:27.000 The worst are the fights over my sister's brother-in-law.
00:06:31.000 He only took a week to decide that he is trans and then destroyed his marriage and the lives of his two young daughters, and I'm expected to agree with such behavior by calling him by his new name, which is close to the family dog's name. 0.99
00:06:44.000 Or referring to him as a woman.
00:06:47.000 Well, if it's a female dog, you can just go.
00:06:48.000 Yeah, it just says look, you saw the problem, you go, hey, whatever.
00:06:51.000 If the if the guy's new woman's name, I don't know, is like uh Ethel.
00:06:55.000 You go, hey, here Ethel. 1.00
00:06:57.000 Here, Ethel, Ethel on a treat. 0.99
00:06:59.000 And then you hit then you hit him with a rolled up newspaper.
00:07:03.000 Repeatedly.
00:07:04.000 Oh my gosh.
00:07:04.000 I'm gonna tell you, look, I'm already biased.
00:07:06.000 I don't like your sister.
00:07:08.000 Or your sister, what is it, brother-in-law? 0.94
00:07:10.000 Well, I don't like your sister whose brother-in-law is trans, who's still a brother. 1.00
00:07:14.000 Um my dad passed away eighteen years ago when I was thirteen, and my sister was fifteen, and he was the only one who could mediate.
00:07:19.000 Now the reason all this is so frustrating is that I'm disabled and cannot function without help, and once her mom can no longer take care of me, my sister is the only one I can rely on.
00:07:28.000 I've stayed with my sister before, and I can only watch your show or any sermons when they aren't home, or my sister has a world-ending meltdown.
00:07:35.000 Uh our mom is telling me to put up with everything and keep my mouth shut because she most likely rightfully fears trusting my care to any sort of care facility. 0.99
00:07:45.000 I care about my sister, but I fear as things are now uh I fear as things are now, it's getting hard not to hate her.
00:07:52.000 Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
00:07:54.000 And it says P.S. Yo has been a great source of comfort, uh, that I'm not alone or evil for being conservative.
00:07:58.000 Thank you, Gerald, for talking about Chuck Mistler.
00:08:00.000 His sermons have been extremely helpful in bringing me back to God's word after I became sick at 14.
00:08:05.000 Yeah.
00:08:05.000 Um, that's great, and thank you.
00:08:07.000 Uh and I don't want to I won't use your name, but thank you, and it's her name, by the way.
00:08:12.000 It's not right, yeah.
00:08:13.000 Yeah, it's not N word.
00:08:15.000 Could be.
00:08:16.000 I don't know that anybody assumed that's where you were going.
00:08:19.000 I I will say this is honestly a ri this is a tough one.
00:08:22.000 Um it's tough because I I I understand.
00:08:24.000 But it's not tough.
00:08:25.000 It here's the thing it's tough and it shouldn't be.
00:08:28.000 So let me start with this.
00:08:29.000 It shouldn't be tough because your sister is wrong.
00:08:33.000 Your sister is objectively wrong.
