1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Sam. This is a John your og

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: okay storytime podcast host, and we got some great stories

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: coming up. Before that, we have a quick two minute

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: break from the sponsors that keep the show a lot.

5
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: My boyfriend didn't want his friend moving in, but he

6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: lied to his friend and blame me. Liar, liar, blamer,

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: liar and blamer. Let's see what this boyfriend really does.

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: So I twenty four female, live with my boyfriend. I

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: twenty four female, live with my boyfriend twenty five male

10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: in a two bedroom apartment in a major city. However,

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: we've been fighting for almost a week because of a

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: decision I made spitefully, and therefore I may be the

13
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: a hole okay, small apartment, so it's impossible to avoid

14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: him for much longer. I mean it's a two bedrooms.

15
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how much you can avoid each other.

16
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,959
Speaker 1: I really need a third party opinion on the matter. Well,

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: welcome to the party where we give you a third

18
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 1: our thoughts. By the way, this comes from Monoque, but

19
00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Mononochus no kis mo no phokis all right? By the way,

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: this has come from Monodochus Moon. And if you want

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: to spit your own stories go to the r slash

22
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: okay storytime subreddit. So for some background, we've been officially

23
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: dating since we moved in together two years ago when

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: I graduated from UNI, but we were hooking up for

25
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: about a year before then a classic love story. During

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: that year, we weren't together, so to speak. My boyfriend

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: let's call him Sam, and his best friend let's call

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: him Max. We're living together in this house. Max, twenty

29
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: seven male, has been my boyfriend's friend for years, and

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: it's basically like an older brother to him. We've never

31
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: really gotten along, but please believe me, I have tried.

32
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: It's just that Max never seems to be interested in

33
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: getting to know me, or at worse, gets genuinely annoyed

34
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: by me interacting with him. Sam thinks it's probably the

35
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 1: age difference me being twenty four in him being twenty

36
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: seven that make him Riley. Did you change the story?

37
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: I did not. I did not.

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: These are the real because my.

39
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: Name is Sam, and I'm twenty seven, and I have

40
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: a friend named Max. Now I turned twenty eight in February.

41
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right, you just turned twenty.

42
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Yep, that makes him not very interested in getting to

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: know me. But I think that if he can get

44
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: on with Sam despite the two year age gap, then

45
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: what's the problem with getting on with his girlfriend age

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: gap beside?

47
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, not a crazy age gap? What what? What? What?

48
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: What is a crazy age gap at twenty seven? Uh?

49
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: Forty three?

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 3: No, dude, it's gotta be.

51
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: Seventy seventy dude, seventy seventy to above. That's too crazy. Anyway,

52
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: it's besides the point, but I think it's pretty relevant

53
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: for the actual argument. Also, Bethany says conspiracy theory, Max

54
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: is into Samo.

55
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 3: Into one. That's a good one. That's a good one.

56
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 3: We love that it right.

57
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: Basically, Max recently broke up with his girlfriend, and since

58
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: he was living with her, she rightfully punted him out. Now,

59
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: before you ask, I have no idea why he thought

60
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: he would still have somewhere to live after telling his

61
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: landlady with benefits that he wasn't spicy, sleepily attracted.

62
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 3: To her anymore. Ouch, But I digress.

63
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: Now Max is homeless and is asked to stay with Sam.

64
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: And yes, if you're wondering, I also live here and

65
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: pay for rented utilities an equal amount to Sam. But

66
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: I suppose Max only wanted to ask the person whose

67
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: name is on the lease. All this aside, Sam doesn't

68
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: want Max to come live with us again, which works

69
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: for me because I wouldn't particularly like to live with

70
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: a guy who doesn't even deign to speak to me.

71
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: I think Sam doesn't want him living here because he

72
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: used to be a bit of a slob when they

73
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: live together. His words, not mine, but I would imagine

74
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: he also doesn't want another person in this small apartments. However,

75
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: Sam clearly lacks a spine to say any of this

76
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: to his friend. So who does he use as an excuse?

77
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, yeah me? Oh no, whack given us Sam's

78
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: with spines, bad names. Yeah that's right, grow a spine,

79
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: grow a spine. Get that back back. Apparently he told

80
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: Max how he would love for him to come and

81
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: live with him again. Oh I love it so much

82
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: like the good old days, just us two boys boying around,

83
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: but his stupid girlfriend won't let it happen. Oh p

84
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: p you.

85
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: Now.

86
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: I could live with this if Max could act like

87
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: an adult about it. But he's now starting to blow

88
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: my phone up with texts calling me a witch, calling

89
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: me jealous, literally, just random insults that don't even address

90
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: the main issue. Really great, really great, It's gonna it's

91
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: definitely gonna make them want to live with you before

92
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: you ask. They're so specifically cruel. Well, I am afraid

93
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: if I copy and paste them here, it will be

94
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: instantly obvious who I am who I've shown them to Sam.

95
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: But he told me to ignore them and do them

96
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: a favor. How about you do everyone in your life,

97
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: including you, a favor by growing a spine.

98
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

99
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: I want you to reverse Mortal Kombat yourself. You know

100
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,559
Speaker 1: how they like like take the head and go quick,

101
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: and there's a little spine floating in the video game.

102
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: I want you to get get that spine shoved into

103
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: your body. Put it in shoved into your body.

104
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 3: I meant to say that.

105
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: Put that put that thing in there. Ye, put that

106
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: dangling thing in the back of your throat, right in

107
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: your throat first. Yeah, yeah, exactly. This spines only. He

108
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: argued that since Max and I already don't like each other,

109
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: there's no harm in letting me take the fall for

110
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: this decision. I mean, there's harm in thinking you're a butt.

111
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 3: Actually there's nothing.

112
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: This is where I might be the a hole because

113
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: on day ten, day ten of receiving abusive messages from Max.

114
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: Instead of ignoring him or blocking him, I just told

115
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: him the truth.

116
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: A great move.

117
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: It was late at night, and I was tired, and

118
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: I was slightly tipsy from a bottle of wine. Sam

119
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: was out with Max, still enjoying his friendship despite the

120
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: horrible things his friend was saying to his girlfriend. Uh gross.

121
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 3: Yeah.

122
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: So yes, before you ask, I was feeling vengeful, and

123
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: I think a lot of me did it out of spite.

124
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes vengeance needs to strike. Sometimes the back

125
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: signal is out in the air, and you gotta go,

126
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: and you gotta do some wham and pals, you know,

127
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: send out some send out some feisty text messages late

128
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: at night.

129
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 3: Use that spine, Yeah, use that spine that he doesn't have.

130
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, take his noodlely spine and whip Max with it.

131
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Spike.

132
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: To be honest, the worst part is Max didn't believe me,

133
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: and if anything, it only made him angrier at me.

134
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: So in a way, the only thing I succeeded at

135
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: doing was breaking my promise to Sam not to tell

136
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: him simply because I let Max get in my head.

137
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: Maybe you should break your promise of being with this guy. Yeah,

138
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: Bethany asked, why does Sam even want to keep a

139
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: relationship with Max, a man who is abusing his girlfriend anyway,

140
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: dump Sam let him and Max live together in misery facts, Bethany,

141
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: that is some snaps well deserved.

142
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: Dear Bethany, what.

143
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 4: Was the reason why Sam didn't want Max to move in?

144
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 5: Because he's a slab, he's a slob and he a

145
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 5: small apartment another person like I feel like general like

146
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 5: roommate stuff.

147
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 3: It's like. And also he seems like he sucks. Yeah, yeah,

148
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 3: he does suck.

149
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: After I sent the message, I got a call from

150
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: Sam but ignored it and it went promptly to bed.

151
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: When I woke up, I assume a couple of hours later,

152
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: I had an angry boyfriend in my bedroom telling me

153
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: that I was an a hole not the word he used, actually,

154
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: and that Max didn't even believe me. I then asked

155
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: why it mattered so much since Max didn't believe me,

156
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: But I think he had one too many drinks because

157
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 1: he couldn't answer me and went to sleep on the couch.

158
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: It's been a week now and we've been giving each

159
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: other the silent treatment. Wow, it's a long, long time. Yeah, yikes,

160
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: Sam Chan says, strip him off his name. He doesn't

161
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: deserve to be a Sam who he now? He's nothing?

162
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 3: No, man, I don't know nobody should we.

163
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: I mean, if you give me a minute, I can

164
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: change his name.

165
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: No, no, no, it's okay. Max has come over a couple

166
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: of nights, sitting on the couch and watching football with

167
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: Sam and giving me a similar stink eye. But I've

168
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: just left them to it and have moved into the

169
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: guest room, partially to avoid Sam, partially to stop him

170
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: from letting Max sleep here. So yeah, I'm typing this

171
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: on day five of the Cold War.

172
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 3: I don't know.

173
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if that that method is actually going

174
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: to work, because he might not be sleeping in the

175
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: guest room. He might be sleeping with Sam. I think

176
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: it might be a budding, a romance brewin.

177
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: They took that romance, and they're they're saying the bee

178
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 3: is now optional.

179
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: The bee is optional for the bedroom is absolutely necessary.

180
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: It's mandatory, mandatory. Yeah, I'm typing this on day five

181
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: of the Cold War from the guest bedroom while my

182
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: boyfriend is sleeping in our bed, still angry at me

183
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: for jeopardizing his friendship. Am I the a hole? There

184
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: is an update, John, Oh, there is an update.

185
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: What should Op do? Okay? What should do?

186
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: Tell me? Tell me, give me your sage wisdom.

187
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 5: I got you first of all, Op, not the a

188
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 5: hole at all. The boyfriend. If if the boyfriend really

189
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 5: didn't want him as a roommate.

190
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 3: Then he should have told him. And and the fact

191
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: that he first off that was already bad.

192
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 5: But the fact that them then Max comes around is

193
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 5: insulting you. He doesn't defend you all the stuff, like,

194
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 5: he doesn't care about you. He cares more about Max

195
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 5: than he does yet that is true.

196
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 4: Is literally prioritizing precious relationship with Max.

197
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so not the ahole at all.

198
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 5: And I mean, like I think sitting him down first,

199
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 5: or sitting him down and be like, hey, do you

200
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 5: do you see do you see what's happening here? Do

201
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 5: you see how you literally prioritize him over me? And

202
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 5: see what he says just to lowkey, just to see

203
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 5: him like and.

204
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's obvious they need a breakup. They need

205
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: to break a breakup, break up. I don't think he'll

206
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: do it. Why are you still writing this story and

207
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: not writing I'm breaking.

208
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: Up with you.

209
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be maybe that's what we get in

210
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: the update.

211
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 3: It could be soon. But I'm on team breakup for.

212
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: Sure, team breakup. Let's see what happens in the updates.

213
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: That's not that, he says, time to get a prevorse. Yes, well,

214
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: for everyone who thought they might be sleeping together, you

215
00:10:54,960 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: were right. I called them effing and sucking in our

216
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: living room.

217
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 3: What not sucking?

218
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: They were effing and sucking what at the same time.

219
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: I was not expecting that.

220
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 4: Who someone said that? Someone said that early on? Who

221
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 4: said that?

222
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: Did you guys? I highlighted that, don't you remember?

223
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he said that.

224
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we saw it coming, and I guess

225
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: he saw them coming as well.

226
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 3: It was coming.

227
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were coming coming in the flesh.

228
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: Right.

229
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 4: That makes it even more complicated because why would Sam

230
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 4: not w max there anyways?

231
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: I think he does. He's trying to. I think he's

232
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: trying to have his cake and suck it too.

233
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 3: You know.

234
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, he's just he's just like living this ruse

235
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 5: and and loo ky. I feel like Sam is just

236
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 5: like weirdly in the middle. Why not just go be

237
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 5: with with him?

238
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 3: I guess. I guess he's just messy. He wants, he

239
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 3: wants bold, he just wants, just want. He's just crazy

240
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: and he sucks.

241
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: Just kidding, Ah, they had what.

242
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: Come on?

243
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: I wanted that, come on, I wanted that all that

244
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: would probably be funnier than this update is going to

245
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: be if you didn't see my previous post, basically the

246
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: TLDR for people asking. So my boyfriend threw me under

247
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: the bus when his friend needed a place to stay,

248
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: saying it was just me that was against it, and

249
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: then didn't defend me after against the barrage of abusive

250
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: texts his best friend sent me there after. So I'm

251
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: still here in the guest room using Reddit as my

252
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: only means of escape from my depressing reality. But for

253
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: everyone who warned me that Sam would probably cave and

254
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: let Max move, and eventually, yeah, he did, and it

255
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: only took one day since my last post, they are

256
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: not sharing a bed yet I still think. I still

257
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: think they're gonna that's always gonna happen.

258
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 3: We got a lot more to this story, oh yeah,

259
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 3: just starting.

260
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: Max has parked himself on our couch and shoved his

261
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: stuff inside what used to be our bedroom. I was

262
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: working from home this afternoon when the two of them

263
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: started moving in, so I was able to grab everything

264
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: and lock it in the guest room with me barricade. Actually,

265
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: Sam texting me asked me to talk to them over dinner,

266
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: probably about future living arrangements, since it's clear what is

267
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: inevitable here. But I just told them that I was

268
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: coming down with the flu and should be avoided. Even

269
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: though it's annoying to have to talk so nicely to him,

270
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: I still have to live here for two weeks more

271
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: before I can escape, so I'm trying to act as

272
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: normally as possible. I'm really lucky that one of my

273
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: friends is coming back from her work abroad in about

274
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: two weeks, since her parents have arranged an apartment for

275
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: her to move into, and she's invited me to stay

276
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: with her there until I can find somewhere else. That's great.

277
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: That's great. So it seems like op Is is building

278
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: up the courage and the means to break up, because,

279
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: like I guess, if she broke up now, this guy's

280
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: pretty childish, it might just make like the living situation

281
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: terrible for the next.

282
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 5: Two weeks, and maybe she just needs to be outside

283
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 5: of like living there. Twenty four to seven just for

284
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 5: a beat, Yeah, to kind of come to.

285
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: You know, kind of get our things, get our things

286
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: in order. Yes, it's been so difficult for me while

287
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: she's been gone, since she was basically my only friend

288
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: in the city who wasn't also friends with Sam and Max.

289
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: Speaking to her, even if it's in the middle of

290
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: the night where she is, where she is and she

291
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: has no reception, has opened my eyes to how quickly

292
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: I need to get out of both this relationship and

293
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: this building. Well, girls out there, talk to your friends.

294
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: They're seriously the biggest blessing you'll ever get. So Yeah,

295
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: if anyone has any advice to make these two weeks

296
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: pass a little quicker, it would be appreciated. I think

297
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: I'm still a devil woman in both their eyes, and

298
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: our mutual friends are somehow taking Sam's side. I don't

299
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: know if you spun them a different story, or it's

300
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: just the fact that they were all his friends first,

301
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: or even the fact that he's the baby of the group. Yeah,

302
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: how did I not see that this was a red flag?

303
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: But at this point it doesn't even matter anymore. Thank

304
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: you to everyone who commented, showed interest and concern, etc.

305
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know how much I needed to speak to

306
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: someone who wasn't friends with Sam. Hopefully my next update

307
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: will be when I'm moved out, But for now, I'm

308
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: safe and grateful.

309
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 3: And there is an update. Okay, wow, there is an

310
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 3: update pro folded.

311
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm still thinking they're doing something.

312
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we we we still got time in the.

313
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 5: Story, and I wonder what I feel like Sam maybe

314
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 5: poisoned the well with the friends too, because.

315
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: Oh like he isolated Ope from the rest of the

316
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: friend group because they share friends.

317
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 5: Yes, and basically now that this fallout is happening, he's like, yeah,

318
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 5: he's just like spreading whatever rumors.

319
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 3: Lies, Yeah, spreading lies. Yeah. We got another update.

320
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: We got like a bunch of updates here, So I think, uh,

321
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna get some juice.

322
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: Give it to me to get some juice.

323
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: So, if you didn't see my last two posts, held

324
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: r boyfriend saying I'm twenty five mail use me twenty

325
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: four female as an excuse to his best friend, Max,

326
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: twenty seven male, who was punted out of his apartment.

327
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: Maxon blew up my phone with abuse. Sam didn't defend me.

328
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: I told Max the truth. Sam got mad at me.

329
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: Move max in anyway, and I locked myself in the

330
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: guest bedroom. And I'm still here waiting for my friend

331
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: to get back from abroad so that I can move

332
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: into her apartment. Her parents are arranging from her, so

333
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: let's get into it. Hello, beautiful people of reddits. The

334
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: sun has just come out metaphorically speaking. I still live

335
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: in the UK, and I've been inspired to write this

336
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: mini update to tell everyone all the petty things I've

337
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: been doing while I wait for my best friend to

338
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: come back from abroad so that we can move in together.

339
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: For everyone wondering about it, I have amazing news. Her

340
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: parents have doubled down on helping me and are trying

341
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: to speed up the apartment stuff so that there's a

342
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: chance to start moving my stuff in even earlier. Yep,

343
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: as for the update, I thought i'd keep coming back

344
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: to this post and adding to it every time I

345
00:16:58,880 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: did something petty.

346
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 3: I know.

347
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: I said in my last post that I was going

348
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: to live quietly so that Sam wouldn't pump me out,

349
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: but some really amazing people messaged me to advise that

350
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: I blackmail him into letting me stay until the end

351
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: of the month by threatening to inform the landlord of

352
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: Max's illegal tendency.

353
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 2: That is true.

354
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: That is how fun is that? Without further ado, here

355
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: is the list with the dates attached. Hopefully I'll keep

356
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: coming back to it and editing it and will try

357
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: to credit the Reddit users who advise me. Twenty third

358
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: to twenty fourth September twenty twenty four had a lock

359
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: installed on the guest bedroom. Thank you ab in parking ad.

360
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: But all the stuff I bought in the guest bedroom,

361
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: such as the toaster, coffee machine and all my plants.

362
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: Thanks better turnover. Call my mail co worker over to

363
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: install a lock. He's a man lover, but Sam doesn't

364
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: need to know that, and slightly dressed up while he

365
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: was over. Thanks Mommy Kraken for that inspiration bot. Two

366
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: packets of shrimp if you know, you know, like no.

367
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 3: Way after DZA is he allergic to it? Oh?

368
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: No, thank you Pride to Cape Town. What does that mean?

369
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: What tell me about the two packets of shrimp is

370
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: tell us cleared a specific shell for me in the

371
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: fridge and bathroom cabinet, started labeling all my stuff really

372
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: passive aggressively. Have not bought glitter yet because I'm so

373
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: accident prone I can't ensure that it won't get all

374
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: over me first, but trust when I say that there

375
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: are plans in motion on this front. I know about

376
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: the I know about the the glitter glitter bombing people.

377
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: So sending like a glitter bomb in the mail and

378
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: them opening it. Yeah, oh oh oh Sly the toes says,

379
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: you put shrimp inside curtain rods so they rot and snank.

380
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 3: Oh what pretty smart dang but a little evil. Yeah,

381
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 3: it's kind of crazy.

382
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: Jem says, sow them into the God, y'all are crazy.

383
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: I can't sure that it won't get all over me.

384
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: First.

385
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: Thank you some other Reddit users. Sorry if there's anyone

386
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: I forgot to thank. I'm totally swamped with comments and

387
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying my best to apply to all of them.

388
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: I'll update more tomorrow if there's any suggestions, but feel

389
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: free to comment. More suggestions on Petty Revenge I can

390
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: take as I began moving out and we got an edit. Guys,

391
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: I made a stirfi with the shrimp. Oh my god,

392
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: I'm not going to use them. Please stop commenting telling

393
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: me not to use them. I know, I'm sorry. I

394
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: thought it was common sense to see that it wasn't

395
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: going to create an illegal biohazard in property owned by

396
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: innocent landlord. And we have an update. So funny Jeff said,

397
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: shrimp under the mattress. Wow, just put shrimp everywhere.

398
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 3: Devious because they.

399
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: Don't glean.

400
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 3: It's true, they're dirty. Hey, you can eat.

401
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,239
Speaker 2: Some of the shrimp to make it look like they

402
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 2: ate it and just left it around.

403
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 3: Playing evidence. Yes, all right, but.

404
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: We got another update. Oh and we're not even halfway

405
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: down with this story. Oh sorry to everyone who was

406
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: waiting for this post yesterday, but the revelations that occurred

407
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: after dropping the screenshots on Sam Max and our mutual

408
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: friends were so crazy that I had to talk to

409
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: everyone at the party to confirm the stories. Even now,

410
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: there's so much to say and so much unconfirmed that

411
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: I'm not confident this post won't have to be updated

412
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: with several editions or revisions here and there. I'm also

413
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: very unsure how to present this information without it sounding insane.

414
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: But I've realized there is no way to present insane

415
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: information without it sounding well like what it is.

416
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 3: Oh. To put shortly, Sam lied.

417
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 2: About what about?

418
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 3: What? What about? What? Let's see it?

419
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: To put it longly, Sam has lied to everyone in

420
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: his life for several years, the point that I am

421
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: doubting every interaction I've ever had with any of my

422
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: friends or acquaintances. Oh my god, I can't even begin

423
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: to imagine the scale of defamation that he has brought

424
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: upon my life. Insane right, But before I get into particulars,

425
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: we should talk about what specifically went down at the party.

426
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't there, obviously, as it was a party to

427
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: celebrate me moving out, So everything I am telling you

428
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: now is secondhand information, primarily from Ted, my informant, but

429
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: also from a couple of other mutual friends who have

430
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: since come around to my side. Around midnight is when

431
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: I sent the screenshots I had collected. Unfortunately, I couldn't

432
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: find any evidence of Sam admitting over texts that he

433
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: had lied to Max. But I did find several screenshots

434
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: where he brushed off my pleas for him to stop

435
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: Max from abusing me, and obviously I had many, many

436
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: screenshots of Max's abuse. I knew that there were several

437
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: people in the group who I had talked to about

438
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 1: Max's behavior before, who were supportive of me, and so

439
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: I thought that I could at least save my friendships

440
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: with them. I sent the screenshots to the group chat

441
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: we had, then left and deleted it, turning my phone

442
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: off and settling down for a movie marathon the Alien Movies,

443
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,719
Speaker 1: if anyone was interested, although I fell asleep midway through

444
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: Alien three. Ted said that when the collection of photos dropped,

445
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: literally everyone at the party stopped. Oh, like the collection

446
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: of photos dropped to everyone at the party.

447
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 3: That wow, wow, kind.

448
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: Of brilliant, he said. They were hanging out in the

449
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: living room when one of our friends bolted upright and

450
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: asked Max if he really texted those things to me

451
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: or if the text were fake hmmm. At the moment,

452
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: Max Wasted apparently smirked and said, yeah, thank god, that

453
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: cheating slag is back on the streets, which is when

454
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: the rest of our friends looked at Sam. The man

455
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: at the hour was pale and avoiding eye contact. Ted

456
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: then asked if it was true that I had cheated,

457
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: and Sam said nothing. Well, Max ranted and raved about

458
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: how crap Ted was for questioning Sam. Ted then asked again,

459
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: and another friend asked if Sam had any proof. Sam

460
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: tried nod, but then made no attempt to show anyone

461
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: any kind of proof. Max then seemed to sober up

462
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: slightly and asked Sam why he wasn't asking Kelly, one

463
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: of our mutual friends, to show everyone the evidence, since

464
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: you guys are finally broken up now, so it doesn't

465
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: even matter if everyone finds out. Everyone then looked at Kelly,

466
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: who just looked confused, saying that she had never heard

467
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: about me cheating, nor did she have any evidence of it.

468
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 3: The web of lies, dude? What is grumbling?

469
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 2: Dude?

470
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: What did Sam say to that?

471
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 3: Nothing? Not a word.

472
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: Maybe it was because he was wasted, or maybe he

473
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: realized he had been found out, but he just stayed

474
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: completely silent. The spineless man is consistently spineless, staring down

475
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: at his own lap, which is all he can do

476
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: because he has no spine and hold him up if

477
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: you tried it, can't do it, exactly like that John

478
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: in the last story he read. Eventually, one of her

479
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: other friends, Harry, asked Sam if it was true that

480
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: I was stealing money, which prompted everyone to now turn

481
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: to him. Sam stayed silent, and Harry then asked again

482
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: and asked what Sam had told him last night was

483
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: even true? My ex Boyfriend's lack of response then seemed

484
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: to prompt other people to begin questioning him. I won't

485
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: and can't bore you with the nitty gritty of what

486
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: happened next, since I wasn't there and everyone was wasted,

487
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: but Ted tells me it all started to unravel after

488
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: Harry's comments. Multiple other friends had been told that it

489
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: was Max who was stealing money, and I think there

490
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: was even a third version for some others, though I

491
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: can't confirm. I don't know how precisely they started to

492
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: figure out that most everything of what Sam told them

493
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: in confidence was bs, but I hear it was pretty shocking.

494
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: Ted tells me that the party ended soon after, with

495
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: him and several others leaving, but other friends waiting for

496
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: cabs told me that Max and Sam almost got into

497
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: a physical altercation, and that their argument ended with Max

498
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: leaving to sleep on Harry's couch. And if any of

499
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: that sounds confusing, please remember I heard all this secondhand

500
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: from hungover individuals who were wasted during it, and have

501
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: only shared things that multiple people confirmed happened. I was

502
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: obviously told more unconfirmed details about how Sam lied about

503
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: almost every part of our relationship in different ways to

504
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: almost all of our friends. I know that each of

505
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: them had their own private grievance with me that Sam

506
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: had told them and then made them promise not to

507
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: bring up to me.

508
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 3: This is ridiculous.

509
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: I can't believe he got away with it from so

510
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: long too, Like this was a network of lies that

511
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: he is finally crumbling down, Like, imagine how long it

512
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: took to build this network.

513
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 5: Like with everyone he had so basically to make sure

514
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 5: understanding very quickly, Sam ran around basically telling all of

515
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 5: these lies like one to one people like Hey, I'm

516
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 5: telling you in confidence, don't tell anyone else. So no

517
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 5: one was kind of like writing it. I guess to

518
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 5: figure figure it out both about OP everyone else, And

519
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 5: so it was OP Max and like all the other

520
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 5: He basically was just like lying and make everyone look

521
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 5: bad to each other.

522
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 3: In the whole group.

523
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah wow, And that's why most mascifically the girlfriend. But

524
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: that's why Max was like, oh I hate this girl

525
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: because he was like, yeah, she's cheating on me all

526
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: the time.

527
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 3: Right and then and then Max is like, Yo, you're

528
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 3: talking about about me.

529
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 5: You told me lies. That's why they're getting into it

530
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 5: now because he's like, Yo.

531
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: What the f Kitie says typical narcissistic behavior.

532
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 5: Wow.

533
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ryotstone Cowgirl says, nobody thought to fact check or

534
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,479
Speaker 1: ask questions due. I mean it's hard when someone's like, oh,

535
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this in confidence.

536
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, Like I was just thinking, like if

537
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 5: I if I had someone do that, I don't know

538
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 5: that my instinct would be to fact check. To fact

539
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 5: check necessarily depends on what the thing is. But I

540
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 5: feel like I.

541
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: Prolemends how much you trust that person that's being like, yes,

542
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: if it's like if it's like, dude, did you hear

543
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: John was flashing old ladies at Walmart yesterday? That was

544
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: not me Florida, I would be like, show me the

545
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: video video or did the old lady see Yeah, yeah.

546
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 5: Listen, I did I grow literally up across from Walmart. Yes,

547
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 5: I am from Florida. However, that is fake news, fake news,

548
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 5: fake news.

549
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

550
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: So I like, like, I think, depending on the trustworthiness

551
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: of the person, yeah, you're gonna investigate.

552
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 3: But I guess I am.

553
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: Surprised no one investigated. Yeah, I guess I have a

554
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: little surprise as a well.

555
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 4: People that are narcissists usually they want to win people

556
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 4: over and people have to win them over, like, oh,

557
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 4: I'm good enough, all I'm good enough to be here,

558
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 4: So they probably want to be on his good side

559
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 4: so that he wouldn't be mad at them, if that

560
00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 4: makes sense, Like.

561
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 5: Basically he is trying to do this, I'm telling you

562
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 5: in confidence for them to like, for instance, it seems

563
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 5: like he was typically the victim in all these stories. Yeah,

564
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 5: and he's making himself he was trying to curry favor.

565
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, they points, So what a way to blame dude,

566
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: blame wow, giving a bad name to all. Sam's truly

567
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: Sam Chad stop, Sam cham Chen and I are in

568
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: the same boat over here.

569
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 3: There we go.

570
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: Hey, it's Sam, your og host.

571
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 3: Here.

572
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,239
Speaker 1: We're gonna get back to the stories. But here's three

573
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: minutes of ads from our sponsors. Sam had told them

574
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: and then made them promise not to bring it up

575
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: to me. Yesterday, when I first heard from Ted everything

576
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: that happened, every lie that was alleged, I wanted to

577
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: write out a list of everything he's told different people.

578
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: But it all looks so ridiculous, so made up, so

579
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: hard to believe that I sounded genuinely mental. In my

580
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: first ever post where I talked about this. I said

581
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: that I didn't want to include any of the specifics

582
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: of Max's texts because they might identify me, and that

583
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: for most part they were very random and not related

584
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: to the housing situation. I'm sure you can guess by now,

585
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: but it turns out they were not random, and many

586
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: of his texts Max accused me of being crazy, mistreating Sam,

587
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: and frequently cheating on him, which I brushed off as

588
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: just thinking he had taken the red pill and now

589
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: thought all women were cheating gold diggers. I will reiterate

590
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: as many times as I need to. I have never

591
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: in my life cheated on anyone, let alone Sam. I

592
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: don't want to share too many personal details, but I

593
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: will say that my family was ripped apart by cheating

594
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: when I was a child, and it's part of the

595
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: reason that I don't speak to my parents at all.

596
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: People may have noticed that with how much I talked

597
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: about Daisy's parents being like my surrogate parents in the comments,

598
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: and Daisy is the person that she was going to

599
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: move into the friend that was abroad in the previous post.

600
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: But if I'm honest, they're not like them. They are

601
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: them the closest people in my life for the last

602
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: three years have been Daisy and Sam, and they both

603
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: know this about me, but many don't, not because I

604
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: don't tr trust them, but just because you'd have to

605
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: catch me at an extremely vulnerable moment for me to

606
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: speak about it at all. Anyway, all that to say

607
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: that Max believed what he said to me was true,

608
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: not because he hates women, hates me, or is jealous

609
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,479
Speaker 1: in either a platonic or romantic way, but because Sam

610
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: is an effing liar who's been telling Max these things

611
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: for years. Max's list of lies is the only one

612
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten yet, and he's the only one I

613
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: haven't spoken too directly. I have texts from him, well,

614
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: from Harry paraphrasing the text that Max tried to send

615
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: me at six am after the party ended, only to

616
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: realize that he was blocked, telling me that Sam had

617
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: been lying about many things, including cheating. He was so

618
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: angry at him and so sorry to me. So at

619
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,479
Speaker 1: least I know that Still not a good move to

620
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: just like yell at people. Yeah, even if he did

621
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: think they did that, like I still I don't know.

622
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, like the way that Max was there's a way

623
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 5: to confront someone and like let him oh, like yo,

624
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 5: this is without doing that.

625
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they probably would have been like, what are

626
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: you talking about? I didn't do that. You know, you

627
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: would have gotten to the truth more easily if you

628
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: just came at the truth a little bit more elegantly.

629
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 3: A great point. A great point. Well, I've unblocked him.

630
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 3: Here we go. I think we're gona did more truth.

631
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: Let's cook called and even texted to Harry, asking you,

632
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: we've got to have a proper conversation with him. But

633
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: it seems that after crashing on Harry's couch, Harry's one

634
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: of the other friends after the party, Max disappeared and

635
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: turned off his phone. If I had to guess, I

636
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: would say he probably went to Sam's apartment to get

637
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: his stuff. But as far for what happened after only

638
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: Sam's only Sam knows, and I am not unblocking him.

639
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: Nobody else in the group has heard from either Sam

640
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: or Max since the party, but it's only been about

641
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: a day or so, so there's no cause for concern.

642
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,959
Speaker 1: Yet still I can't lie. I'm slightly worried. I couldn't

643
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: have expected or even hoped for an explosion like this,

644
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: and yet I've somehow come out unscathed and with my

645
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: friends firmly back on my side.

646
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 3: That is a win.

647
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: That is a huge w That is a freaking w op.

648
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: You deserve that, oh, I guess not all the thought,

649
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,719
Speaker 1: but you deserve the friends.

650
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 3: Yes, we deserve the good things that are happening now.

651
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: Whether I want them by my side after staying quiet

652
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: about all things Sam told me, Sorry, confide it is

653
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: another story, and I won't lie and say that. I'm

654
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: not enraged that they could hear such outlandish things about

655
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: me and not say anything. But on the other hand,

656
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: there are also many things that Sam told me about

657
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: them that turned out to be lies, so I don't

658
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: want to be too much of a hypocrite. In fact,

659
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: this is why I'm so desperate to speak to Sam,

660
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: because there are several things Sam told me about him

661
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: that could be entirely so that could be entirely false,

662
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: in which case We've been pitted against each other for

663
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: no reason other than Sam's strange complex. I've googled what

664
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: medical conditions can cause compulsive lying, and so to answer

665
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: some questions, I've foreseen the comments. Know I've never seen

666
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: Sam touch any substance other than booze. I don't know

667
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: of any outstanding mental illnesses, and he doesn't have any

668
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: medications he's meant to take, and I know of no

669
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: previous trauma that could make in this way. Could I

670
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: call up his mom and ask about his childhood and

671
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: try to ascertain why he did what he did? Maybe,

672
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: but I'm not his girlfriend anymore. I feel nothing other

673
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: than contempt and disgust towards him, and I owe him

674
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: nothing after he lied to me and everyone else four years.

675
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to say that that is where my update ends.

676
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: I wish I had more particulars that I could get

677
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: in touch with Max, or that I could tell you

678
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: why Sam lied or how he kept it up for

679
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: so many years. I don't have the truth of anything,

680
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: so I'm only left with lies and fires to put out.

681
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: It's not a good feeling. And if I didn't have

682
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: Daisy her parents' head or read it, I couldn't even

683
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: tell you what I would be doing right now. Even

684
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: with this loving community around me, in so many apologetic

685
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: friends spamming my phone, I can't tell what I should

686
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: do next. People say that the truth is what sets

687
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: you free, but I feel as though I've become untethered,

688
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: or maybe instead, I feel as though I've just discovered

689
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: that I've been untethered for years. So thanks Reddit. Maybe

690
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 1: I'll update again if I ever hear from Max again,

691
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: or maybe this is it, and the next time you

692
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: hear from me, I'll be on plant clinic asking about

693
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: my devil's ivy. She doesn't like the new apartment. Goodbye

694
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: for now and keep safe. Ps to everyone asking if

695
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: the names Sam and Max are from a certain pair

696
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: of homo erotic animal detectives.

697
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 3: No comments? What is that? Maybe the the pet? It's detective?

698
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:39,240
Speaker 3: The show? Yeah? Is this show? Show? Yeah? Right? Patrol?

699
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 3: Pap Patrol? Is that it? That's crazy? Is it like

700
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 3: a SpongeBob and Patrick type of.

701
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: But there is an update? Four We're an update four

702
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: was Samary and Max are getting married? Just kidding, But

703
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: I am updating because Max finally responded to my messages

704
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: and agreed to me with me.

705
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 3: We go after the party.

706
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: About a week ago, Max crashed on Harry's couch and

707
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: then left before anyone else had woken up, turning off

708
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 1: his phone and going mia. He's back on the grid now, though,

709
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: staying with his parents until his place is ready. So

710
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: when I messaged him and invited him to coffee, he

711
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: decided to come. I know there were comments advising me

712
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: against meeting him at all, given his treatment of me,

713
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: but I think we both needed some closure. I think

714
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: it's one thing to need closure after loving someone for years,

715
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: but hating someone for years and then finding out that

716
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: you were both wrong is another level of ft up.

717
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, we went to a cafe and we finally

718
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: hatch it out. It was super awkward, and somehow there's

719
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: even more to this story than I thought. But I

720
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: think before I share any of that, we should start

721
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: from the very beginning. Oh, the very very beginning. Oh god,

722
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: we're reading backstory now. So I met Sam during Fresher's

723
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: week in my university. He was a year above me, nineteen,

724
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: and I was a fresher eighteen. Max didn't go to

725
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: UNI it all, actually, but had gone straight into an

726
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: apprenticeship after sixth form and only visit our UNI on

727
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: the weekend. I didn't meet him in person until second year,

728
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 1: when I became a lot closer with Sam and his friends.

729
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: I was twenty, Sam was twenty one, and Max is

730
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: twenty three. Their mothers were childhood friends. And so put

731
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,919
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on Sam and Max not only

732
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,240
Speaker 1: get along, but to also be extremely close. That pressure

733
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 1: to be close and get along also affected Sam's UNI life,

734
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: as Max would visit him often on weekends. I wasn't

735
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: particularly close to Sam during mike first year, we were

736
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: just in the same friendship group since we did similar courses,

737
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: but I do remember frequently hearing about Sam having a

738
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: friend home from home over However, Max was never really

739
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: introduced to the group. When speaking with him, Max said

740
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: Sam would rush off the idea, saying they didn't want

741
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: to split his attention with anyone else, and so Max

742
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: shouldn't shouldn't worry about doing the rounds of his UNI friends.

743
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 1: Sam wasn't able to keep Max separated forever, though Max

744
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: was able to make himself a part of the group.

745
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 1: When Harry, another mutual friend, had an internship that summer

746
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: in the same town Max and Sam were from. As

747
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: he spent his time bouncing between their homes, they all

748
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 1: became much closer.

749
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 3: Hearing that.

750
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: I joked that Max definite should have stayed with Harry

751
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: at the beginning of this ordeal since he clearly owed him,

752
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: but I think Max still felt too guilty to laugh low.

753
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: All that background to say that Max strongly suspects that

754
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,439
Speaker 1: Sam's lying could have begun when he felt as though

755
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: his UNI friend group was threatened by him and that

756
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: he wanted to regain some control. So Sam was like, oh,

757
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: Max is getting too close to my unique friends and

758
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: their mine and all mine. That's not exactly what he said,

759
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: but I've reworded it with the help of my therapist.

760
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm in therapy now. Honestly good. Great, this

761
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: sounds like a case where you've been through a situation

762
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: where you might need it.

763
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 3: Anyway.

764
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: By our second year at UNI, Harry was very pro

765
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: Max and invited him up independently of Sam to hang out.

766
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: Their hometown is incredibly close, like twenty five or like

767
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: a twenty minute drive away, so Max was off work

768
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: began to hang out more and more with us, eventually

769
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: becoming a permanent fixture of the group. It was around

770
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: this time when I first met Max at a Christmas party.

771
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 1: One of the people online in Sam's course, was throwing

772
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: I don't really remember it myself. I think I was

773
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: quite wasted, but I didn't think much of it. On

774
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: the other hand, Max tells me he remembers it quite well.

775
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: This part of the conversation was by far the most

776
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,919
Speaker 1: awkward part, but Max told me that practically the minute

777
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: they arrived, he had asked Sam to introduce us. I

778
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: asked him why, and he hesitated at first until he

779
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: admitted that he was interested in me.

780
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 3: Max had the.

781
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: Hots for op oh oh whoa yeah, but if a

782
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: plot twist there case and in case anyone was wondering, no,

783
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: Me and Sam were not yet a thing yet. In fact,

784
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: Sam wasn't even on my radar until a month later,

785
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: so I can't tell you if he felt threatened or

786
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: anything like this. For his part, Max admitted that his

787
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: interest was short lived and that it was unlikely that

788
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: Sam jennuiney felt threatened, especially since I didn't even remember

789
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: our first meeting, But he thinks this fact may have

790
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: contributed to Sam's lies centering on me cheating a subconscious

791
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: worry because of Max X's former interest. In my opinion,

792
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: Max's theories on why Sam did what he did didn't

793
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense to me, but that may

794
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 1: be either because I don't know Sam like he does,

795
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: or the opposite that Max is too close to the

796
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: painting to see the whole picture. Regardless, I thought I

797
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: would share with you guys to put your minds to rest,

798
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: since so many were still begging for me to dig

799
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: around and find a root cause. I can also send

800
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: many comments pushing me into trying to figure out whether

801
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: Max still likes me or not. Is there something there?

802
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 1: And I'm just telling you now that you are jumping

803
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: the pew pew. I need a pepew. I need a

804
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: serious break from relationships right now, and Max is actively

805
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: looking for a therapist. Also, yeah, probably not a girlfriend. Also,

806
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: a vengeance fueled hookup isn't going to end well for anyone.

807
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 1: The youop for making the smart decision, and I seriously

808
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: doubt that his feelings are sustained slash renewed. The meeting

809
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: was so awkward that the only emotions I could read

810
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 1: off him were guilt, shame, and dis comfort. So sorry,

811
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: but my life is not a movie, just a series

812
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: of unfortunate events, which is a movie. Me and Max

813
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: have gone our separate ways, ending on a good, if.

814
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 3: Not awkward note.

815
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: We got to apologize to each other for everything, Max

816
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: for the abuse, Me for witching. Yeah, I used to

817
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: wish about that guy to other people like it was

818
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: a national support, like it was a national sport, and

819
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: we both agreed to let each other know if Sam

820
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: ever contacted them again. I finally asked him about the

821
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: real reason he got punted out of his apartment, and

822
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: it turns out that the story Sam gave me was

823
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: a lie. Of course it was who could have guessed.

824
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,479
Speaker 1: And it turns out Max's girlfriend was actually cheating on him,

825
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: hence his dramatically sudden and insulting exit from their apartment.

826
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: He said it was an excuse, but an explanation for

827
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: why he had such a volatile reaction to my refusal

828
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: to let him stay. As combined to the things Sam

829
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: told him about my cheating and isolating tactics, he felt

830
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: as though Sam was going through a similar thing to him.

831
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: I assured him that I'd long forgiven him, that Sam

832
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: was big enough scapegoat for all of us to move forward,

833
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 1: regardless of everything else, and that I'd see him next

834
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 1: dinner party our friends hosted. Yeah, I know many people

835
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: wanted me to ditch them, but after Sam's lives were

836
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: revealed and they realized they'd all been affected, they banded

837
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: together and pretty effectively punted them.

838
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 3: Out of his out of their lives.

839
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: It hasn't been easy navigating the tensions in the wake

840
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 1: of Sam, especially given that there's no that there's no

841
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: now there is now no mediator to diffuse tensions. But

842
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 1: the silver lining is that there's also no narcissists who

843
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: will use those tensions to his own advantage and pit

844
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: people against each other. I'm just taking it slow and

845
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: not expecting too much. In personal news, though I took

846
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 1: a lot of advice in the comments about joining local

847
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: groups to make friends. Daisy is also slightly friendless since

848
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: she's been abroad for so long, and I didn't think

849
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: it was a good idea to bring her into Sam's

850
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 1: my friend group of UNI friends during such tumultuous time.

851
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how to refer to them, since they

852
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 1: only became my main friend group after I graduated and

853
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: star to dating Sam again. But regardless, Daisy doesn't know

854
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: them very well and I don't think their personalities would match,

855
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:08,439
Speaker 1: so I guess they're going to look for something else.

856
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 1: By the way, you should never look for anywhere else

857
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: to get your daily dose of stories, because you can

858
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: listen to our podcasts every day by just searching up Okay,

859
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: storytime wherever you get your podcasts.

860
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 3: Yet the truth?

861
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: So instead, we've been going to a couple of paint

862
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 1: and sip sessions, gigs, bars, and other fun places here

863
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: and there. It's been amazing watching our friendship blossom despite everything,

864
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 1: and I just need to reiterate again that she is

865
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: the loveliest human ever and I am so lucky. Okay.

866
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: That is the end of the update, and probably the

867
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: final one, since I don't see anything crazier happening this

868
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: time around. I hope everyone who has supported me thus

869
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: far is experiencing success, good health, and even better friendships.

870
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: I will continue good check, I will continue to re

871
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 1: apply to comments as much as I can and check dms.

872
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: Thank you so much everyone for all the engagement, good

873
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,760
Speaker 1: and bad, and for supporting my growth.

874
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 5: Wow wow, and that is where that ends. Good golly, goobers.

875
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 5: That was a that was a roller coaster. But you

876
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 5: know what, I do kind of like where we landed.

877
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 3: I love where we landed.

878
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: I'm glad that Sam was found out and I'm kind

879
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 1: of glad that and I'm kind of glad that OPI

880
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,879
Speaker 1: has that whole friend group back and now maybe has

881
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 1: the beginnings of another friend.

882
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 3: Group, which is kind of cool. Love. I love to

883
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 3: see it, we love to see it.

884
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 5: I love to see it healthy. She reinvested herself in

885
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 5: healthy way and didn't go down the rabbit hole of revenge. Yes,

886
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 5: my friend's fiance cheated on her while seriously ill.

887
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 3: So I'm helping her get back on her feet.

888
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: I feel like you should sweep that man off his

889
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: feet and into a shallow grave.

890
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 5: Sweep him and not in the winning way. Now, I've

891
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,479
Speaker 5: been waiting for so long for a story to post

892
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 5: her and oh boy, it's a crazy one.

893
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 3: Give it to us.

894
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 5: It is not mine, but I do have my friend's

895
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 5: permission to post about it here. So I am a

896
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 5: pediatric nurse and friendships built during crazy shifts are.

897
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:01,959
Speaker 3: Right or die.

898
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 5: By the way, this comes from Candy Andy, and you

899
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 5: can submit your own story on the r slash Okay

900
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 5: storytime subreddits.

901
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 3: So introducing Anissa.

902
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 5: I trained her and through horrible bosses, understaff shifts and

903
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 5: loads of fast food between calls, we became best friends.

904
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 3: Nice four years ago.

905
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 5: Anissa met a guy let's call him Kevin, and they

906
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 5: got engaged about one and a half years ago.

907
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 3: I never really got to know him well, but didn't

908
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 3: like his vibe.

909
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 5: We are usually a fun and loud group and other

910
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 5: partners adapt quite well. However, Kevin kept to himself, barely talked,

911
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 5: and didn't show any signs of humor. In truth, I

912
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 5: always thought that she would grow bored of him one

913
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 5: day and just leave him. She seemed happy, though, so

914
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 5: I never said anything, not my monkey, not my circus.

915
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 5: So last summer the two of them bought a house

916
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 5: in a small town in the middle of nowhere, like nowhere,

917
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 5: like there's nothing there, mind you, they lived in the

918
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 5: city before, nobody got their choice. But again, she seemed

919
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 5: happy anyways, so they buy the house in the morning.

920
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 5: In the evening, she started feeling weird about some bruises

921
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 5: and skin irritation, which got worse over the day. To

922
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 5: be safe, Anissa checks in with the hospital after some

923
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 5: back and forth, and they agreed to draw some blood.

924
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 5: That night, she was diagnosed with leukemia, and instead of

925
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 5: moving into their new house, she moved into the hospital

926
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 5: for the next three months.

927
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 2: That is the worst timing ever.

928
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what do we know about terminal illnesses and fidelity?

929
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 5: Yep, it's bad, it's bad. Oh God, Well, now he says. Now,

930
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 5: that's not the bad part.

931
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: When the griminal illness isn't the bad.

932
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 5: Part, for being in the three through us the hospital

933
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 5: is not the bad part, you see.

934
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 3: The bad part.

935
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,720
Speaker 5: Is that while she had to stay in the hospital

936
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,280
Speaker 5: for twelve weeks, Kevin decided he was a little lonely.

937
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 3: We gotta get some stress relief, you know.

938
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 5: Apparently a stress ball was not enough for him to squeeze. Yeah,

939
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 5: he's a great guy, So he signed up for dating

940
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 5: websites and went off with other women while Anissa was

941
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 5: being treated and had to come to terms with a

942
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 5: very severe illness. In case you were wondering, no, he

943
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 5: never visited her in the hospital in three months.

944
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 3: His excuse, even like hospitals.

00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 5: No like him.

Speaker 3: I like him.

947
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: I mean maybe if he realized that a lot of

948
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,959
Speaker 1: health workers are down for a romp in the sack,

949
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,960

00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 5: that's what it seems like, which is good. I mean,

00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,320
Speaker 5: Opie is writing this story. And then Sam Chan says,

00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 3: We got to put a stop to that.

962
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,279

Speaker 3: Oh god.

973
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 5: So he went on a long weekend with his affair

974
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 5: partner and told her to pack her things and get

975
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 5: out of the house. Dimension they had a dog. He

976
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 5: was also keeping the dog since she was in the

977
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 5: middle of chemotherapy. She didn't fight because she simply couldn't.

978
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 5: She moved in with me, and I love having her here.

979
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:04,479
Speaker 5: It's your early thirties funny women shared apartments. He keeps

980
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,280
Speaker 5: tearing down walls in the house and not building anything

981
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 5: back up. It's out telling her that's what he just

982
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 5: keeps just tearing down a lot.

983
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: Is destroying everything, including their relationship.

984
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 5: I mean he's gonna house gonna collapse, like the relationship.

985
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,280
Speaker 5: That's what is sounding like. The lawyers were very clear

986
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 5: if she sells now, she will lose a lot of

987
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:26,240
Speaker 5: money and she will have to pay speculation tax because

988
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 5: they just bought the house and are selling it again

989
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 5: so quickly.

990
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:30,320
Speaker 3: So.

991
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 2: Speculation tags.

992
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 3: They are taxing everyone out here.

993
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 5: It's everyone's getting these taxes. So he is super confident

994
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 5: that she won't sell. This is where I come in.

995
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 3: I am a petty, petty person. I was born that way.

996
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 3: So I got to work.

997
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 5: I got her a better lawyer and made sure that

998
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 5: she had a great home. But most importantly, we are

999
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 5: currently raising money any way we can to get his

1000
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 5: sorry booty out, because no, he doesn't have the income

1001
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 5: or savings to buy out her part of the house. Now,

1002
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 5: before you come to me for being a bad person,

1003
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 5: he cannot afford the mortgage on the house. He refused

1004
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 5: to let her buy the house from him because he

1005
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 5: wouldn't leave and he moved in with his affair partner.

1006
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 5: So he is racking up debt on the mortgage and

1007
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,399
Speaker 5: she is liable and has to cover it while she's

1008
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 5: going to chemo. What so you guys help me be

1009
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 5: petty times a thousand and share the story. If you

1010
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 5: want to support her, you can donate help Asana Fight

1011
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 5: Cancer by Joanna. However, she is also just happy about

1012
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 5: any support and love she can get. Right now, I

1013
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 5: will update you on how this goes. Love you w

1014
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 5: aputty potatoes. We have an update. What if we think

1015
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 5: is going to happen?

1016
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 2: I don't know. I hope she somehow gets a house back.

1017
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 3: That would be great. That would be a win.

1018
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, because like he can't even pay for it anyways.

1019
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 5: And I'm also, oh, I guess technically the debt he's

1020
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 5: racking up is.

1021
00:49:56,280 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 3: With her because they're still still married. That is. That sucks.

1022
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 3: That sucks, but you gotta.

1023
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like, even if he's racking up debt,

1024
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: I think like just getting yourself out of that situation

1025
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,879
Speaker 1: as soon as possible. It's like, yeah, I think you're

1026
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 1: only gonna have more debt the longer you stay with him, right.

1027
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, And if your finances are already ft, might as

1028
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 5: well make your mental health not aft.

1029
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,919
Speaker 3: Right, Let's let's get out and save ourselves the trouble there.

1030
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 3: Bobby got an update. Hey, it's Jean, your og host here.

1031
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 5: We're gonna get back to the stories, but here's a

1032
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 5: quick three minute break of ads from our sponsors.

1033
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 3: So good news.

1034
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 5: First, we love that my friend has received offers for

1035
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 5: free legal advice, which is awesome.

1036
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 2: Well, let's go.

1037
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 5: She's so happy, thanks to everyone who commented on the

1038
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 5: original post. Also, her ex fiance has seen the GoFundMe

1039
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 5: and is furious. Kevin now believes that she can cover

1040
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 5: some of his shares and his costs since she's raising money.

1041
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:48,959
Speaker 3: We shut this down super quick.

1042
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 5: Since it was his wish to keep the house and

1043
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 5: the dog and have his affair practically move in, he

1044
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 5: is entitled to nothing since they broke off the engagement

1045
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:02,720
Speaker 5: and they were never married, so they never officially got

1046
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 5: legally married.

1047
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: Oh thank god, thank god, because that would have sucked

1048
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: good gravy.

1049
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 3: And yeah, Cheryl says, not married, they're engaged, hallelujah. He

1050
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 3: was also.

1051
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 5: Unhappy with how he was portrayed and claimed we were

1052
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 5: being untruthful. However, since he cheated, he has communicated everything

1053
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 5: to her overtexts, so we got receipts. Anyways, her go

1054
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 5: fundme has been going well so far, but obviously keep

1055
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 5: sharing the story anywhere you can, and we have update

1056
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 5: number two.

1057
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 3: Hit me with it, Johnny.

1058
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, I'm gonna give you a quick update on

1059
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,959
Speaker 5: Anissa and Kevin. If you haven't read my original thread,

1060
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 5: here's the tea. Kevin cheated on Anissa while she was

1061
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 5: out going through chemo and got her out of the

1062
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 5: house by bringing his mistress constantly, so Anissa temporarily moved

1063
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,720
Speaker 5: in with me. The update is that Anissa was recently

1064
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 5: released from hospital and finished her last iv chemotherapy.

1065
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 3: Yay, let's go.

1066
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 5: Her immune system is still down and she's currently fighting

1067
00:51:59,600 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 5: a colt.

1068
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 3: Keep her in your thoughts. Hopefully she will get through

1069
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 3: this just fine.

1070
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 5: She is still in the hospital twice a week for

1071
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 5: checkups and it will take a bone marrow sample from

1072
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 5: the seventeenth of this month to see if the IVY

1073
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,280
Speaker 5: chemo got rid of the cancer for good.

1074
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 3: And we're hoping. We're hoping.

1075
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 5: We're hoping now about Kevin. Since we started to gofund me.

1076
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 5: His first reaction was to ask for a portion of

1077
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 5: the money we collected so far, which is not happening.

1078
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,320
Speaker 1: Kevin, where are you getting this audacity?

1079
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 2: Dude?

1080
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: Give us some, Give us some. It must be lovely

1081
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 1: to go through life with this kind of king kingly attitude.

1082
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 5: Just just entitlement, purely gallivanting and just collecting anything you

1083
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 5: want along the way.

1084
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: With no cast. Be nice, Kevin, call him, Oh.

1085
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 5: My boy forged some nuts, I'll tell you that much.

1086
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 5: After being pissed about this for a while, he changed course.

1087
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 5: He suddenly owns forty pounds in shares, which he wanted

1088
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 5: to sell to bust her out. He talked to his

1089
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 5: lawyers because he was sure it was enough, and was

1090
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 5: basically laughed at by them because obviously it isn't. His

1091
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 5: income is still too low and barely covers the monthly

1092
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 5: rates of the mortgage, so now he's moving in with

1093
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,439
Speaker 5: his mistress for good so she can help him pay

1094
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:17,399
Speaker 5: for the mortgage. Regarding the forty thousand bucks, Anissa has

1095
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 5: done the math, and during their time together they first

1096
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 5: started saving on his account and then on their shared one,

1097
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 5: which he would routinely empty into his own account. So

1098
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 5: everything that was left over of her salary every month

1099
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 5: went straight to him.

1100
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: Oh so he's like stealing. H Wow, this gets worse

1101
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: and worse.

1102
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 3: Wow.

1103
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 5: By the way, if you want to drain the best

1104
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 5: content imaginable and pour it into your ear holes, well

1105
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 5: look no further than Spotify, Apple Podcasts, your favorite pot

1106

00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 5: episodes stories just like this, ladies and gentlemen. But we

1108
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 5: are quickly reaching end of the story. I mean, it

1109
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 5: seems like Kevin is gonna get his comeuppance. Opie and

1110
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 5: Anissa are having an amazing sisterly bond helping each other.

1111
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 5: Is also shout to Opie been an angel in this

1112
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 5: in this situation. I mean, I don't know what you think, Sam,

1113
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 5: I think at this point, we just hope and pray.

1114
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 5: Kevin continues a downfall and Anissa just rises.

1115
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 3: Like the yeah she is.

1116
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: I mean, just stay far away from that man, just

1117
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: just run, just run.

1118
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 3: And I don't know.

1119
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: Things are things are looking.

1120
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:26,840
Speaker 3: Up, things are looking up.

1121
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 5: Let's see if let's see if we've got more positivity

1122
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 5: in the last last bit of the story here, let's

1123
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 5: find out. So don't bash her she knows not to

1124
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 5: do this ever again. But overall, she transferred about thirty

1125
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 5: five thousand bucks to him during their time together, thirty

1126
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 5: five and this is pounds, by the way, so this

1127
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 5: is like probably more like forty grand usd.

1128
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is my god, that is crazy.

1129
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 5: So we're guessing that's the money that he owns and shares,

1130
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 5: but we cannot prove it other than that he has

1131
00:54:57,800 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 5: been extra nice to her out of fear of her

1132
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 5: going to fund me picking up more steam and she

1133
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 5: will sell the house. So he's been trying to get

1134
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,879
Speaker 5: her to promise she won't, which she doesn't and won't

1135
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 5: because she still would like to cut all ties. She's

1136
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 5: an angel and keeps being friendly to him. She's starting

1137
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 5: to feel at home at my place, well our place,

1138
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:16,719
