Speaker 1: episode one Girl Tribe. Way back in the beginning of
Speaker 1: the podcast, you might remember all the people in Ackworth,
Speaker 1: Georgia who supported Jennifer when they found out that Spencer
Speaker 1: had been arrested. They were neighbors and close friends, people
Speaker 1: that jen had met through the wine bar in the
Speaker 1: neighborhood I kept her afloat during her worst days, and
Speaker 1: as the podcast was wrapping up, Jennifer invited five of
Speaker 1: these women to her home where they relived some of
Speaker 1: the moments behind the scenes.
Speaker 2: Thank you guys so much for being here tonight.
Speaker 3: Because you know, this journey started with you guys too.
Speaker 3: You guys picked me up and just carried me over
Speaker 3: the finish line of every single I just kind of
Speaker 3: want to go around and say some things that really
Speaker 3: stick out in my brain about each of you. Jill, Yes,
Speaker 3: I want to talk about your reaction when I called
Speaker 3: you to tell you.
Speaker 1: Jill was one of the first people Jennifer called when
Speaker 1: Spencer was arrested, but Jill was out of town with
Speaker 1: her husband, Duncan, taking care of their granddaughters in North Carolina,
Speaker 1: hours away.
Speaker 4: You were like, Duncan, go ahead and get her. So
Speaker 4: the first thing I said, because I knew I couldn't
Speaker 4: leave because I had our granddaughters and Duncan doesn't know
Speaker 4: how to deal with little girls, And I said, go
Speaker 4: get her, and he just looked at me with his hand.
Speaker 4: I'll never forget his hands open. He goes, Okay, what
Speaker 4: do I do with her? Because he knows you, and
Speaker 4: what the fuck am I supposed to do with Jennifer
Speaker 4: by myself? And I'm like, I don't care. Just take
Speaker 4: her to the house because I was so afraid that
Speaker 4: the news media or somebody would find out your address.
Speaker 4: Then luckily, Danielle showed up and everybody showed up, and
Speaker 4: you know, I was like, Okay, we're good, We're good, Danielle.
Speaker 2: Thank you for answering the phone first of all, which
Speaker 2: was like the most unusual thing.
Speaker 1: Danielle owned her own day spy and app worth and
Speaker 1: would often be serving clients for long blocks of time,
Speaker 1: but this time she picked up.
Speaker 5: I was in the middle of doing a facial and
Speaker 5: I stepped out of my treatment room and thought, something's
Speaker 5: not right. And I looked down and my phone was
Speaker 5: ringing hmm, And I said, are you okay?
Speaker 6: And I said I need you to come here. And
Speaker 6: I don't know if you flew, but you were there
Speaker 6: in two seconds. I didn't know what to do, and
Speaker 6: I'm sure you didn't neither.
Speaker 5: It was easy for me because we're friends and I
Speaker 5: wanted to be there for you.
Speaker 2: I just didn't ever have to ask for anything. You know,
Speaker 2: we were sitting on the porch Kim one day, and
Speaker 2: it must have been just a day after I found
Speaker 2: out how many women there were. Yeah, and I just
Speaker 2: looked over at you and said, I think I need
Speaker 2: to go to the doctor.
Speaker 1: I think we both kind of realized at the same
Speaker 1: time that you might have gotten something from him.
Speaker 3: You said, I'll make the appointment, and you picked me up,
Speaker 3: took me.
Speaker 6: It's just those things that like you don't have the
Speaker 6: strength to do because you can barely get through the day.
Speaker 2: Deborah.
Speaker 1: Deborah experienced her own heartbreak during Jennifer's journey. It was
Speaker 1: different than Gen's, but very difficult. They leaned on each other.
Speaker 2: You saw the day today progress I did. Look how
Speaker 2: far we've come from sitting on that porch just being
Speaker 2: as positive as we could. Today is a good day
Speaker 2: to have a good day. We said that every day day.
Speaker 1: For years.
Speaker 2: And now look we live across the street from each other.
Speaker 4: Just think about the past four years and everything that's happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all of us have gone through something.
Speaker 4: We've all had family stuff or whatever.
Speaker 3: What has happened.
Speaker 5: But no one's world has been turning upside down the way.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no, no, not even you.
Speaker 5: Are standing on your own two feet. You know this awesome,
Speaker 5: this great outlook on life.
Speaker 1: I'm just so proud of you.
Speaker 2: This is why I left La and moved here. This
Speaker 2: was going to happen, and it just couldn't have happened
Speaker 2: in a better place.
Speaker 1: Jen realized she lost a husband that gained a tribe,
Speaker 1: So I thank you for that, but sorry.
Speaker 2: We're growing old together.
Speaker 4: Oh I cannot wait.
