1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: My old friend of decades called the police on me

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: because of the daubest reason. You know.

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 2: It's you'd think you would not call the police on

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 2: your friend of decades, but now sometimes it happens.

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes. Sometimes it doesn't matter how many years you do.

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: If you murder someone, you still call the police for.

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 2: Thirty years down the line, I'm just going to get

8
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: a knock on my door with the swat team. Samuel

9
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 2: Donner has called us on you. I'm so sorry, Yeah,

10
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: but it is what it is. Because you have murdered someone,

11
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 2: it's for just cause, or maybe it's like a uh

12
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: you know, they send like like a holiday grams or whatever.

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 2: They're like fake police and then they're like surprise.

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: I like that idea. I'm going to do that. So

15
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: I had her friend around the two thousands, Not even

16
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: sure of the exact date, but I will say between

17
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine and two thousand and four we were

18
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: close enough, talked in the phone, et cetera. I eventually

19
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: moved to a different city about an hour away. The

20
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: last time I saw this particular person that had come

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: to visit me at my new place, no arguments, bad

22
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: blood or otherwise were exchanged. Okay. Over the next year

23
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: or so, I moved east, two states over for work.

24
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: I lost touch with this friend, but try to reach

25
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: out several times on Facebook. They never got back to

26
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: me or said anything nada. They disappeared from fabook altogether,

27
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: which I assume was because they had to cut out

28
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: social media for whatever reason. Years go by. It's now

29
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: twenty ten, twenty eleven. I've got a wife and a

30
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: kid on the way. I'm catching up with old friends

31
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: who just happened to ask if I've heard anything from

32
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: this person at all. I reply, not a word, and

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: I explain they don't even have social media. My friends

34
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: suggest googling their name, and I do. Several articles come

35
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: up of this person's recent accomplishments, including that they are

36
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: now a lawyer in a city about half an hour

37
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: away from me with an email address. Hey. I send

38
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: an email, just a short Hey, haven't heard from you.

39
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: No reply. I quickly get lost in life, my family, work,

40
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: et cetera. Q twenty fifteen. So when I sign up

41
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: for Instagram, I find this person is friends with several

42
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: of my friends, and again I reach out, Hey, how

43
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: are you longtime? No talk, no reply, nothing twenty twenty

44
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: one rolls around. My kid is obsessed with animals. She

45
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: wants to be a vet. She's at our local shelter

46
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: and brings a book to my attention. A book who

47
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: just happens to be authored by this person. This is crazy,

48
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: this is all prolific.

49
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: Lawy're writing children's books, no wonder they're not getting back.

50
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: They're like, yo, I'm busy on achieving all the careers.

51
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, profits from this book go towards shelters. What a guy.

52
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: I purchase the book and I send an email to

53
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: the person saying thanks for the book, my kid really

54
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: likes it, really cool of you to do this kind

55
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: of thing. And no reply. And now we're current day

56
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. I've been getting calls from the Alaska Police.

57
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: I pass this off as spam, as it seems I

58
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: get more spam calls and real calls these days. Two

59
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: weeks go by, and then on Monday morning, I have

60
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: two police officers at my door. Oh boy, I open

61
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: and ask what's going on. Both officers are arms crossed,

62
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 1: angrily staring at me. Do you know this person? They ask?

63
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: I say, you know, like the guy that you know

64
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: is talking to you. I say I do from decades ago.

65
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: The officer standing closest to me puts his best threatening

66
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: voice on and says, stop trying to contact them or

67
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: legal issues are going to be filed. Wow.

68
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: Also, like, are the police really, like I feel like

69
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: that's something like a like a server or a lawyer

70
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: should do. Yeah, like, Hi, I'm from blah blah blah,

71
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: legal thing.

72
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: Here's the letter. Stop contacting them?

73
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: Are the police taking time out of their day to

74
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: be like, hey, stop in like ig messaging someone every

75
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: five years?

76
00:03:53,040 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? How is this? Like ridiculousulous? Yeah? God, that was it.

77
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: They left, and I am absolutely dumbfounded trying to understand

78
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: what is going on. I figured it must have something

79
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: to do with the Alaskan police calling me, so I

80
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: skimmed through my call history, find the number, and call.

81
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: The officer on the other end then informs me that

82
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: this person has documented every single time that I have

83
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: ever tried to contact this person over the past two decades.

84
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: He says it's not illegal to do this, but this

85
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: person would like me to stop. He also acknowledged that

86
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: this person should have just told me from the get

87
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: go to not contact them. I'm still reeling what kind

88
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: of person an epping lawyer at that abuses police resources

89
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: and waste police time to do this when as simple

90
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: police don't talk to me would have worked twenty years ago.

91
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: That's the question. I don't know what this.

92
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 2: I feel like this person is like like like in

93
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: the movie when it's like, you know, Bob has it all.

94
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 2: He's a lawyer who sells he was a bet selling

95
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: children's offer that donates the shelters, but inside he's trying.

96
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: Like I also, I don't I don't get like I wonder,

97
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: like what did op possibly do. Maybe maybe it's a

98
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: case of like they got like big and successful or

99
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: something and like people, but I don't know how like

00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 2: I don't know.

Speaker 1: billion people.
