1
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Hello, dear listeners. Seat four c here formerly superfil Freedom

2
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: Welcome back to It came from Reddit, an auditory exploration

3
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: into my online obsession of very dramatic audio retellings of

4
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: stories found on Reddit. Are they true?

5
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: Stories?

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: Definitely true? But probably no, But no they're not. Do

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: I care? Absolutely? I don't in any way, shape or form.

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: I just love hearing wildly theatrical details of a relationship

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: gone wrong. And sorry if factuality is unable to shame me.

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: So now for Podme's World, myself and my two beloved

11
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: co hosts, we've recorded another one of my favorite finds,

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: all done in the style of the videos that now

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: take up thirty to forty percent of my free time.

14
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: Goodbye productivity forever, and so here's our second installment of it.

15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: Came from Reddit a story wonderfully titled my girlfriend said

16
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: I need space, don't contact me. I responded, all right.

17
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: Then I posted the vacation pictures I found of her

18
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: with another man while tagging his wife. Suddenly my phone

19
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: was blowing up with their panic calls. I'm still reeling

20
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: from the sheer audacity. Ooh, these things are right to

21
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: the point, aren't they? Enjoy and especially enjoy as I

22
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: get into my h reddit voice. I'm thirty two male.

23
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: Let's call me Jonathan. I've always liked that name because

24
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: of Jonathan Davis from Corn and also you know Jonathan

25
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: from the Bible. It's actually been a full week since

26
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: I took action and everything exploded, But the whole saga

27
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: really began about three weeks ago. That's when my girlfriend,

28
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: Nicole twenty nine female, hit me with this bombshell via text.

29
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: I need space.

30
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: Of course. We've been together for three years, living in

31
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: my house, my name, my mortgage. For the last eighteen months.

32
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: Things have felt a bit distant, sure, but I thought

33
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: it was just work stress on her end. The text

34
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: came on a Saturday morning.

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: Hey, things are feeling really overwhelming for me lately. I

36
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: think I just need some space to myself to breathe

37
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 3: and figure things out. Please don't contact me for a bit.

38
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: I'll reach out when I'm ready. I hope you understand.

39
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: Space never a good sign, but I'm a rational guy.

40
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: I wrote back, all right, Nicole, I understand. Take the

41
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: time you need. Then radio silence. The week that followed

42
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: was a blur of confusion and hurt. I replayed everything

43
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: wondering what I missed. Fast forward another week, I was

44
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: mindlessly scrolling Facebook and a post from a mutual acquaintance

45
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: popped up a surprise romantic getaway album, And there's Nicole

46
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: looking far too happy and cozy with Brandon. Thirty five

47
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: mail a married colleague of hers, Champagne handholding on the beach,

48
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: matching hats with hers reading where I Go Trouble follows

49
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: in his just saying Trouble. It actually took me a

50
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: few days to figure out the hats, but all the

51
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: dates lined up perfectly with their need for space. My

52
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 1: stomach churned. Space was a cover for a secret trip

53
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: with a married man. She hadn't just lied, She orchestrated this,

54
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: expecting me to be none the wiser. The initial sting

55
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: of betrayal quickly morphed into a cold, calculated anger. She

56
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: wanted a consequence free fling, keeping me as her backup

57
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: plan in my own home. Brandon's wife, Rachel no idea

58
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: how old she was, was a lovely woman who deserved

59
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: to know about these spontaneous adventures. So Saturday morning I

60
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: got to work and I save the most damning photos.

61
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: The hotel room, the selfie, the beach, the hand holding

62
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: a candle at dinner shot where his arm was just

63
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: way too familiar. I crafted a new Facebook post, short,

64
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: sharp to the point, heard you needed space, Nicole, looks

65
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: like you found it. Hope it was worth it. And

66
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: then I tagged Rachel Hey, Brandon's wife, thought you might

67
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: want to see how your husband spends his business trips. Ooh,

68
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: truth hurts. I attached the photos, every single photo, and

69
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: the aftermath, like crazy Eetties' prices from the eighties, was insane.

70
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: My phone went into meltdown about thirty minutes after that

71
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: post went live.

72
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 3: Why aren't you picking up?

73
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: We need to talk.

74
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: Let's meet at the Fudruckers where we spent our third anniversary.

75
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: I'll be there at three point thirty.

76
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: Then I blocked her on all platforms phone, social media,

77
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: LinkedIn the landline I still had, for some reason, even

78
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: my car phone, which hadn't worked since nineteen ninety six.

79
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 1: And I was definitely not going to that fud Ruckers,

80
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: even though they have the world's greatest hamburger, which ranges

81
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: in price from nine dollars and nine cents for the

82
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: third pound version all the way up to fifteen eighty

83
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,559
Speaker 1: nine for the one pound version. It's always served with lettuce,

84
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: tomato and onions on the side. Didn't matter anymore. I

85
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: wasn't going. But one thing I didn't have to wait

86
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: for was the chaos to erupt. First, Brandon called, in

87
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: pure panic, Jonathan, what the heck?

88
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: Take that down? You have no idea what you're doing, Jonathan.

89
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: I'm I'm serious, Jonathan, this is my life, my marriage.

90
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 2: Nicole said you were basically over and that you wouldn't

91
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 2: care Jonathan.

92
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: So Nicole was already spinning tales for her affair partner noted.

93
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: Then Nicole called again. I didn't answer. The terror in

94
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: her voice was a symphony. Jonathan, what did you do?

95
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 3: Are you insane? You've ruined everything?

96
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: Then another voicemail from Nicole.

97
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 3: Brandon is freaking out. Delete that post right now and

98
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: tell everyone it was a joke.

99
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: Be like just kidding.

100
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: I was high on.

101
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: Ketamine now with tears.

102
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: Please, Jonathan, Please, my job, Brandon's job, his kids, my

103
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 3: Memphis Grizzly season tickets.

104
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: You have to fix this.

105
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 3: I'll do anything, anything.

106
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: The description was palpable, but the entitlement was still audible.

107
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: The expectation that I'd just clean up her mess. Next up,

108
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: Nicole's best friend Samantha Oh is superficial.

109
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: Jonathan, that was a really rotten thing to do.

110
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: Nicole is a mess. People make mistakes.

111
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,039
Speaker 3: Taking it public and dragging Rachel into it was a

112
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 3: low blow.

113
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: A mistake is forgetting milk of farting in church, smant

114
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: the planned vacation with a married man while lying to me,

115
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: that's betrayal. Then Nicole's older sister Pamela.

116
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 3: I'm running out of voices. I cannot believe how cruel

117
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 3: you are. Nicole is heartbroken, Brandon's wife is going ballistic.

118
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 3: You're potentially destroying lives. Nicole told me you two were

119
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: having problems, and this is how you react. Text me

120
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: before you call back. I'm in a movie. Have you

121
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: seen many Despicable Me movies?

122
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: They're confusing. Nicole just wasn't getting it. Plus all these

123
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: girls were starting to sound the same. She was having

124
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: an affair. My reaction was to not be a doormat. Yeah,

125
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: I tagged Rachel, but she deserved the truth, and she

126
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: eventually sent me a brief DM.

127
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 3: Oh, come on, thank you. I don't know all the

128
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: details from your side, but the pictures speak for themselves.

129
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: I appreciate you letting me know.

130
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: I replied, I'm sorry you had to find out this way, Rachel,

131
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: you deserve better. The Facebook post went viral locally. We're

132
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 1: in a small town. Nicole and Brandon were getting roasted,

133
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: and Nicole still technically had all of her stuff in

134
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,799
Speaker 1: my house. She's been trying to reach me from burner numbers,

135
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: alternating between begging and vague threats. Lady, you detonated your

136
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: own life. Then five or so days after the post,

137
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: my doorbell camera dings. It's Nicole looking like she's been

138
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: through the ringer. Then the banging starts.

139
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 3: Open up, Jonathan, I'm here for my things, and you

140
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: better not be playing my corn CDs. I know you're

141
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: in there.

142
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: I definitely had been playing her corn CDs. After more

143
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: yelling and some tears, her phone comes out and a

144
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: car pulls up. Her sister Pamela, and their mother, Caroline

145
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: sixty female have arrived. I had to see this, so

146
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: I opened the door immediately.

147
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: Writer, you have to do one of these.

148
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: Okay, you can't lock her out. She has belongings in there.

149
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: We're gonna call the police if you don't let her in.

150
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: This is harassment.

151
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: Ooh, that wasn't a good woman's voice. Police for changing

152
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: the locks on my own house after my now ex

153
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: girlfriend cheated be my guest. I slammed the door in

154
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: their faces. They banged and yelled for another ten minutes.

155
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: Nicole wailing dramatically was quite the show for the cul

156
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: de sac, especially for Cornelius, our neighbor with the bounce

157
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: house and no kids. Eventually they retreated, but soon after

158
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: their smear campaign kicked in a high gear, mutual acquaintances

159
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: started contacting me with sob stories fed to them by

160
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: Nicole's camp.

161
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: Hey, dude, it's Cornelius. Listen. Nicole called me today and

162
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: said that you were controlling and you punished her for

163
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: wanting independence. Anyway, if you want to come over and

164
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: get your bounce house on, I'll be home till sex Man.

165
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: That guy gives me the creeps. I'd let them talk,

166
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: giving only a few key people the truth with a

167
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: link to my original post. Then came the nasty stuff. First,

168
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: a cough my boss.

169
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 2: Hey Jonathan an anonymous already emailed HR today claiming that

170
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: you were unstable, prone to violent outbursts, and created a

171
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: hostile work environment by publicly harassing Brandon in sales. They

172
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: even implied that you might be misusing sensitive company data.

173
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: Thankfully, my boss knows me, but I.

174
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: Know you nothing to worry about. Hey, let me know

175
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: if you're going to hit up Cornelia as he bounce house.

176
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: Later, Peace still never figured out how he met that guy.

177
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: Then someone reported my car abandoned in front of my

178
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: own home. I cleared it up with a quick phone call,

179
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: but still very tom petty. And then Nicole demanded a

180
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: share of the house. She even paid a lawyer to

181
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: call and say she invested emotionally and did household upkeep,

182
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: so she part owner. Umm. I remember one time she

183
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: bought some bread for sandwiches. I paid the mortgage and

184
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: all the bills, but still the lawyer suggested she was

185
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: owed fifty thousand dollars for pain and suffering and loss

186
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,599
Speaker 1: of residence. I laughed a and I save the voicemail.

187
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: Their entitlement and dirty tricks were beyond belief. It was

188
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: time for a more robust response. Step one. My lawyer

189
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: sent a CD, which I thought was music, turned out

190
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: to be a cease and desist to her entire family.

191
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: It detailed their harassment, defamation, and won them. Any further

192
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: contact or attempts to damage my reputation would result in

193
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: immediate legal action. We attached all their texts and voicemails

194
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: and to me Nice, we said she can provide a

195
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: list of her personal belonging she left behind and a

196
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: third party, not family, can collect them from the curb

197
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: at an appointed time. They'll be in garbage bags and

198
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: anything not claimed within seven days will be disposed of.

199
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: The outrage from Carolyn was apparently epic.

200
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 3: You can't do that garb bags?

201
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: What if you break her things? Step three the knockout punch.

202
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: Rachel filed for divorce, naming Nicole in the act of adultery.

203
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: Boom of the record. I offered Rachel all my evidence

204
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: for the case when Brandon claimed he was the victim,

205
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: but that was never needed. Brandon's reportedly sleeping on his

206
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: brother's couch and his career was torched. The conservative company

207
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: he worked for was not amused by the scandal, and

208
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: Rachel still the nahwoch Is is taking him to the cleaners.

209
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: Nicole is locally unemployable because of my post, and thanks

210
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: to my cease and desist letters, they stopped with the

211
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: demands they wanted war, they got a precision strike, and then,

212
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: after a few months of sweet, sweet silence, Nicole eventually

213
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: sent that list of her belongings to a lawyer. It

214
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: was ridiculously long, including things I'd bought for the house

215
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: years before her.

216
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: I would like to get back my jewelry box, the

217
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 3: china we got from Uncle Steedman, the die cast me

218
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 3: outa in our bathroom, and the ouf box set, or

219
00:11:59,040 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 3: at least just the first.

220
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: I boxed it all, even though she didn't ask for them.

221
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: I included every self help book she had the irony.

222
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: It was delicious. I left the bag out on the

223
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: curb and watched her pick them up from my window.

224
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: She looked like Nick Nolty's mug shot. Meanwhile, Rachel's divorce

225
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: from Brandon was proceeding. Apparently my evidence was helpful in

226
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: her securing a favorable settlement, which doesn't make any sense

227
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: when just a few paragraphs back I said it wasn't necessary.

228
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: Brandon is financially wrecked, reputationally ruined. Last I heard, he

229
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: fled the state to live with his parents and was

230
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: dressing up as Steve Bouscemi for kids parties, which can't

231
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: be a profitable career and Nicole, Oh Sweet Nicole. Consequences

232
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: hit her hard, jobless, disgraced, living with mommy. Her attempts

233
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: to play the victim blew up once the affairs details

234
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: in Rachel's divorce filings went online. She deleted most of

235
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: her social media. Her friends bailed when she became a broke,

236
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: unemployed pariah. A mutual acquaintance with a bounce House. Nicole

237
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: complained that I should have warned her about the severity

238
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: of the consequences. What the sheer unadulterated audacity, as if

239
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: her actions were fine and only my reaction was the issue.

240
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: Some people are incapable of self reflection. My life is

241
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: now peaceful. The house feels like mine again. I've been redecorating,

242
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: purging her lingering influence. It feels good. The true revenge

243
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: wasn't just the Facebook post. It was every methodical step.

244
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: I didn't set out to destroy lives. I protected my

245
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 1: peace and exposed the betrayal they found out. I'm a strategist.

246
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: I sleep very well at night. Good riddance to Nicole

247
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: Brandon and all their enablers. They got everything they truly deserved,

248
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: and so did I. Now, if you'll excuse me, Cornelius

249
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: is throwing a party in that bounce house won't bounce itself. Wow.
