1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: This is am I the Ahle for wearing a white

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: dress to a wedding after being specifically requested to I

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: the bride. And this is Okop, home of the craziest

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: two stories on Earth. I'm John and Riley. What do

5
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: we think? I mean? Can you be the a whole

6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: after someone You did the thing the person asked you

7
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: to do? Are you the a whole?

8
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: There are some things that if you're giving permission to do,

9
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: you should never do it. I can't think of any

10
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: off the top of my head, nothing but yeah that

11
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 2: it's no, you never do that. You just you're in

12
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: the wrong. Should have been better, should.

13
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: Have been better? And just what ignored her when she

14
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: asked her?

15
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 2: You never wear white to a wedding unless you are

16
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 2: the bride, right right?

17
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: So ignore the bride even though she's like, yeah, you

18
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: got the conflicting what the bride wants you to do

19
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: and what you know not to do. That's tough, that's tough.

20
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: But you know what, Riley's full bore. I'm gonna say

21
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 1: no because she asks you to. So we'll see, we'll

22
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: see what it ends up being. This comes from Cicada

23
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: Potential sixty four to thirty seven, They say, OMG, my

24
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: head is such a jumble right now, let me try

25
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: to make sense of all of this. When I, twenty

26
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: six female, was five, we moved and our next door

27
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: neighbors had a girl my age named Bella, twenty seven female.

28
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 1: We immediately connected and grew up. Think of thieves aka

29
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: the best of friends? Is that a southern Yeah? Yeah,

30
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: that sounds like thieves? I think, I think so, I

31
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: think of thieves. Let us down the comments of wrong,

32
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure it's the Southern thing. And our

33
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: families were also very close. I moved a couple of

34
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: hours away for college, while Bella stayed home. She would

35
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 1: come visit me frequently, stay with me, and we had

36
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: great time. Sisters sister friends gotta love it better than

37
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: sister wives.

38
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 2: That is so true.

39
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: Probably it's like or or No.

40
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: I feel like sister wives want to kill each other.

41
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: But sister Yeah, that's that could get me. Sharing the

42
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: same man and that men's an idiot.

43
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: Dude that could get messy. That could give me. I

44
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: met Bear at twenty six mail now in econ class

45
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: sophomore year and realized that we had a lot of

46
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: friends in common. He was smart and attractive guy. So

47
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: we ended up picking up a few times after study sessions.

48
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: Or hell yeah, biology studying, biology.

49
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: Studying that anatomy baby. It was fun, but there wasn't

50
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: any really long term chemistry, so we remained friends. We

51
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: never even talked about dating. We weren't close after that,

52
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: but we were on group group text threads together and

53
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: saw each other frequently at parties. I introduced Bella to

54
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: Barrett at a party senior year, and it was love

55
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: at first sight for her. She interrogated me about him,

56
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: and I informed her of our history. She seemed pretty

57
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: upset by the fact that we had hooked up, but

58
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: I assured her that there was absolutely nothing romantic there

59
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: that she had my blessing to pursue him. What do

60
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: we think, Riley, good plan or not good plan? They

61
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: just hooked up a few times, like not even a

62
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: romantic date basically, but it.

63
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 2: Was pretty physical, like they've seen each other, They've seen

64
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: each other's genitals.

65
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: That's true, that's true.

66
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: How can you look at a friend no, like, oh,

67
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: I know whatnot is? Like if I saw John's whatnot?

68
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: I was he has like a really big shoe, so

69
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 2: I would be intimidated just like walking around knowing that

70
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: that monster is a sign of his Oh but if

71
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: they if or maybe not, and I'd be disappointed because

72
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 2: it was just you know, he has a big feet

73
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: for no reason. But yeah, if me I saw someone

74
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: else naked and I try to be their friend, it'd

75
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: be awkward for them because I.

76
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: Feel like it really depends on like or one thing

77
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: it depends on is like what was the hookup? Like, Yeah,

78
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: there's there's people that doggy just missionary, I'm so dead.

79
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: Was it just plain plain Jane missionary? Like there's people

80
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: that I've hooked up with that I forgot that I

81
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: ever hooked up with them.

82
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, you can do that, So like a fucking

83
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: vision over here. God, man, I'm so before, believe me.

84
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: Don't time. You'll be disappointed.

85
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: You think of a number in your head and divide

86
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: that by two and then minus one, and you might

87
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: be right.

88
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: I love it. You might just be right. Don't go

89
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: and guess in the comments below, don't do that. Oh God,

90
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: but I'm going to say, I don't know. To me,

91
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: it seems like op is very like I didn't really care,

92
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, and it was like kind of a whatever.

93
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: Thing still obviously, not like if it was like nothing

94
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: it had ever happened. Obviously that's the ideal. Yeah, but

95
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, seem seems doable. What we will see

96
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: if you could be chill about it, yeah, which, but

97
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: it will be hard knowing so each other negative, that's true.

98
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: And I was gonna say, like, oh, they're I think

99
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: they're in college right now. So I was like, oh,

100
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: they're in college. It was like pretty fleeting and meaningless.

101
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: But then also in college you're you're young and stupid,

102
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: So you got two. It's hard to say. But again,

103
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: Op had given the blessing to pursue him. She did,

104
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: and after a few months they started officially dating. She

105
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: was over the moon and I was happy. She was happy.

106
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: I graduated and accepted a job six hours away from home.

107
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: Shortly afterwards, Bella and Barrett ended up moving in together

108
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: in my hometown. I visited them frequently at first, but

109
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: life got so busy we ended up seeing each other

110
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: annually at holidays.

111
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: Seem like they have a good relationship.

112
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that it happens, you know, if you

113
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: move away, it's tough. Last Christmas, we family hosted My

114
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: family hosted a Christmas Eve party with our two families,

115
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: where bear it proposed to Bella.

116
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: Have you ever had a family member proposed to someone

117
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: at Christmas? Oh around that time?

118
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: Because I actually do have a family Christmas Eve party

119
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: every year.

120
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: I've had someone propose on Christmas in my family. That's

121
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 2: really dope. Actually, in front of everyone, like forty people

122
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: just right there.

123
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: Honestly, was it like good?

124
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 2: Yeah? It was great.

125
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. It wasn't like at a wedding where it's like

126
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: you're stealing the shine. It's like, honestly, that's like the

127
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: perfect time because everyone's here, everyone's like happy and holly

128
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: and yeah, and it's like another great thing. That's honestly great.

129
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: The way are you gonna do itmas? I can do

130
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: it in private, where you're gonna do it like in public?

131
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: I don't know.

132
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: I probably do it in private private because it feels

133
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: like I'm forcing her to say yes. In public.

134
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, but you should always all less.

135
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, I want to marry her, and I'm not

136
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: sure I'm going to do it in public.

137
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: Always get the time in place of the proposals to surprise,

138
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: but the communication about it can happen beforehand.

139
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 2: What if you're spontaneous. But if I already got it

140
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: on me, I'm just ready.

141
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: You forgot that thang on you?

142
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: Yep, like boom.

00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: like documentary vlog s hypebb But anyways, let me know,

159
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: if let me know if you want that, Let's get

160
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: a lot of comments in there so we can convince

161
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: Riley to do it. Yay, okay. Now, so back, we

162
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: just had the proposal. It was a heartfelt proposal and

163
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: everybody was thrilled for them. Bella wanted to talk about

164
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: nothing but wedding planning that holiday, and we had a

165
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: ton of fun brainstorming ideas together. There were no signs

166
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: of what was to come up. We've been so happy,

167
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: we've been so great, nothing but amazing news so far. Ye,

168
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: like she introduced them, they're getting proposed. Everything is great, happy,

169
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: But no, that's not what happens here. That's how it happens.

170
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: Over the next few months, I expected to be formally

171
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: asked to be Bella's maid of honor. She had mentioned

172
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: this over the holidays, but the ask never came. She

173
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: started screening my calls. Finally I received a Save the

174
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: Day in the mail and still hadn't heard from her

175
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: about whether I was in the wedding. So I got

176
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: her on the phone and I asked her. She told

177
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: me she had thought it through and didn't think that

178
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: I should be in the wedding at all because I

179
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: lived so far away.

180
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: Really, no, no matter how far away, it doesn't matter.

181
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: That's super whack. That's crazy, that's super whack. Because planning

182
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: you can do I'm sorry, like you can get Obviously,

183
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: it's not going to be as one hundred percent as

184
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: good if you're there in person, but ninety percent i'm sorry,

185
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: ninety percent of like the you know, effectiveness or whatever,

186
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: and you absolutely can get the job done. And then

187
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: there's the rehearsal.

188
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, and you guys are just like sister friends.

189
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: She's gonna fly out no matter where you are.

190
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: So what are we talking? What are we talking about?

191
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: She thought it would make coordinating bridal events too difficult.

192
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: She was making her cousin, who she doesn't even like,

193
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: her maid of honor. Why why I'm hold on, hold

194
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: on Riley on the good old cap. The conspiracy theory

195
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: tinfoil hat. My conspiracy theory is that maybe Barrett is

196
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: getting in her head and brainwashing her that like, oh no,

197
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: you don't need op like op, he shouldn't be at

198
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: the wedding, this, that and the third, and we should

199
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: just remove her, like, just remove her from the She

200
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: hasn't been kicked out of the wedding yet, just not

201
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: in the bridal party. She's not involved in the ceremony, right,

202
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: If that's the right way of saying.

203
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: But she said she doesn't want her at the wedding

204
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 2: at all. Oh yeah, she didn't think I should be

205
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: in the wedding at all because I live so far away.

206
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: I wonder is it in the wedding, like participating in

207
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: the ceremony or like, oh, I say, yeah.

208
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: That's or in the wedding thing.

209
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

210
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if they're that much of friends, she should

211
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: be in the wedding. Like she up her planet right

212
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: after she got proposed.

213
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: Was like, dude, like, it's not It's really not that

214
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: big of a deal. Yeah, it's really not.

215
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: I don't like this. I think he is plotting. I

216
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: am with you on this. He's in the scenes plotting, yeah,

217
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: saying all the things.

218
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: Well, let's get back to reality. Opes there goes gravity.

219
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: I was pretty hurt by this. I was her closest

220
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: and oldest friend. I introduced her to her fiance and

221
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: was friends with them too. That's another grade. Come on,

222
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: another grade.

223
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: You always have to pay respects to the people that

224
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 2: introduce people.

225
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: The wedding toast fire, I introduce you, guys. That's literally

226
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: the setup is perfect. I told her that I could

227
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: get the time off work, would buy plane tickets whatever

228
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: was required of me to participate that I didn't think

229
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: it was going to be as challenging as she thought.

230
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 2: She shrugged this off interesting.

231
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: Instead, she directed the conversation to whether I was going

232
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: to be bringing someone to the wedding. Okay, so she

233
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: is for sure still going, just not participating in the ceremony.

234
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: Do the maid of honors have a big role in

235
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: pre planning the wedding?

236
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: I think they oftentimes can.

237
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 2: Okay, that's the only reason I could see, like why

238
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: she's making a fuss.

239
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: Out of this. Yeah, but even still, it's like, honestly,

240
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: maybe other than seeing a venue, but are they really

241
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: helping you get the venue?

242
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah?

243
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: I doubt it. I doubt it. I was a little

244
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: confused by this question because I just had a bad

245
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: breakup and she knew all about what went down. I

246
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: told her that since I wasn't seeing anybody currently, that

247
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: I would be attending solo. She told me that she

248
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: would keep my plus one open until the last possible

249
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: minute and encouraged me to try to find a date

250
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't be lonely. What that's weird, I don't understand.

251
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was a nice gesture, but reassured her

252
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: that with my family present and tons of mutual friends

253
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: from college and our hometown, that I would be fine. Yeah.

254
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: The next few months passed without much incident. I didn't

255
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: hear a ton from Bella. I probably could have reached

256
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: out more, but I was still stinging a bit from

257
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: not being asked to be in her wedding party. I

258
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: also saw on social media that she had an engagement

259
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: party that she had not told me about or invited

260
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: me to. That's that's bad, so sad, that's tough. This

261
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: also hurt, But I didn't say anything. I figured we

262
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: were just growing apart. It happens. Then, six weeks prior

263
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: to the wedding, I got a call from Bella. She

264
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: told me that one of her bride'smaids had dropped out,

265
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: and then she was hoping I could fill in.

266
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: What So you were on the bench this whole time?

267
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: Really she was, she benched you, trying to put you

268
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: in when no one else will step up to the place.

269
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: So what do we do? Do we say? What do

270
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: we do? Riley? Do we say? Yes, we wanted to

271
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: be in it. But she not only kicked us out

272
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: of the wedding party, she also didn't even tell us about,

273
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: let alone invite us to the bridal shower.

274
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of a friend right now. If they asked

275
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: me to do I'd be like yeah, because if and

276
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: I don't know anything happened in the background, I'd be like, yeah,

277
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: I got you.

278
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

279
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: I'd probably be like if Justin, our friend Justin, he

280
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: asked you or Sam like, hey, my guys just ran out,

281
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: can you fill in, You'd be like yeah, me, yeah,

282
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I'd be like of course, yeah, exactly. That's

283
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: kind of how I feel about the scenario. But you

284
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: are like super close with j Justin. Hey, I can't

285
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 2: think we're good to think of someone good. If Rex,

286
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: perhaps Rex was like no, I might be one of

287
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: those roomsmen, but he's like, dude, one of them dropped out,

288
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 2: can you fill in? I'll be like dude, I'd be there.

289
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: Yes. Even if he told you're going to be your

290
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: groomsmen and then didn't make your grooms and then some

291
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: do in later, Yeah, I'd be okay with it. Yeah,

292
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: I'd be like damn, I feel like I would take

293
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: it too. Yeah. So this is like a lifelong friend,

294
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: so that's tough. I wouldn't be going to any of

295
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: the events, as those were already booked, but I would

296
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: be in the wedding party. So I was thrilled and

297
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: relieved and accepted immediately. Okay, so it seems like op's

298
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: like cool, like great. She told me that she was

299
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: going to do a reverse color palette for the bridal party,

300
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: where all the bridesmaids and groomsmen were wearing white and

301
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: she and the groom were wearing black. That didn't seem

302
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: that strange. Bella had always liked to stand out and

303
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: has unconventional taste. She apologized.

304
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: Wait, no, I'm not buying that. Really a wedding dress

305
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: being black, I'm looking at one right now.

306
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, let's see black boyd let's see.

307
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: Okay, the only way you could ever have a black

308
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: wedding dress. Oh these are cute.

309
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of fire, But like, this doesn't feel

310
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: like a wedding though.

311
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: This feels more like a general dance.

312
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: What's that show? What's that show? Adam's Family?

313
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, black wedding dresses means all that pop up.

314
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, let's see.

315
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: Wear a black whding dress. While traditional white whiting dresses

316
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: was meant to simolize innocence, a black whiting dress depicts elegance, power, mystery,

317
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: and individuality.

318
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, Loki, does you know? And if that's

319
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: your friend, the little bit of some gothy, emoish vibes,

320
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: and then it's like, hey, I'm doing something different. You

321
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: know everyone where I'm doing the exact opposite of everyone.

322
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm not just wearing not a white dress. I'm wearing

323
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: a black dress, the opposite of what everyone is doing.

324
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe throw throw one of those in there

325
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: for the Yeah, not buying it, not buying it.

326
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 2: Not buying it, but all right, all right, reverse, you're

327
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 2: on board, go on cool.

328
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: She apologized for the late notice and asked if we

329
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: could find if we can find a white dress in time.

330
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: I had a white slip dress already that would work

331
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: and sent her a picture of it on the call

332
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: to see if it would work. She verbally approved it

333
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: and tagged it with the thumbs up on the text

334
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: chain this will be important later, dude.

335
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: Honestly, I'd be like, hey, can you send what the

336
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 2: other girls are wearing? I would like to reference.

337
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a great point. I also, I have

338
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: a feeling like she's gonna maybe unthumbs it or something

339
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: like that. You know, you could do a thumb up

340
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: on a message and remove it. The wedding was at noon,

341
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: so we were supposed to meet and do hair and

342
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: makeup at the venue at eight am. I left my parents'

343
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: house early and arrived in my sweats, with my dress

344
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: in a bag, and greeted Bella and the other girls.

345
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: We had fun started drinking champagne and getting ready for

346
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: the big day. About two hours prior to the ceremony,

347
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: Bella had told everyone to get our dresses on so

348
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: we could do some pictures. I grabbed my bag and

349
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: went into the bathroom to change and tweak my makeup.

350
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: When I re entered the room, every last bridesmaid was

351
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: in a blue dress. I was the only one in white.

352
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: Why Why, that's the question. WHOA. My stomach dropped. My

353
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: mind raced back to the conversation I had had with Bella.

354
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: She had said white, right. I hadn't misheard her, No,

355
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: I was certain, and she had called out the reverse

356
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: color scheme. I had googled it. No, this was a

357
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: set up. Bella was in the middle of the room

358
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: in a bathrobe and a resigned look on her face.

359
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: She said to her cousin, I told you she was

360
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: going to do something like this. No, my god, what

361
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: the heck you are shitting me? That's insane, insane, Oh

362
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: my god. Her cousin approached me and asked what I

363
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: was wearing. I mumbled that Bella had told me to

364
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: wear white. Bella didn't even blink. She stared back and

365
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: huffed out a laugh and said something about how, of

366
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: course I would have to make today all about me.

367
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: The cousin started screaming at me, going off on me

368
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: about how I was jealous in love with Barrett and

369
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: how completely unhinged I was. What the heck, yo, what

370
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: is happening? Something is whoa? Okay, we got it.

371
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, get a red flag out. Oh this

372
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: is already passed.

373
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: The red flags right, yeah, oh my gosh, red flag,

374
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: red flag, I mean clear, clear, clear red flag. Of

375
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: like she gaslet lit and planned this whole thing, Yeah,

376
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: to destroy her. But also I got a switch into

377
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: boom a tinfoil hot conspiracy mode. What do you think

378
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: happened here?

379
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: Oh? Like she planned it? She somehow why hates her?

380
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know why she hates her? I mean, oh,

381
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: the hookup the hook up with Barrett. You're right, that's

382
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: the only thing you're You're that is absolutely stupid. It

383
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: hooked up a few times in college. She was fine

384
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: with it, but she can't get over it. Wow, why

385
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: can't she get over it? Why is she doing this?

386
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: What is going on?

387
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: That's why I honestly, I also think maybe Barrett has something.

388
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 2: Oh how do you say?

389
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: I wonder what if it's like Barrett keeps saying, oh, man,

390
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: you know you should really work out, like I see Ope,

391
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,359
Speaker 1: like working out, you know, kind of like dropping hints,

392
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: and instead of appropriately taking her anger out on Barrett

393
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: and being like why would you say things like that?

394
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: Why would you compliment her and do all these things,

395
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, be a skis ball, and instead is directing

396
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: her anger towards Ope. Like the girls like when or

397
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: just anyone, when someone cheats on you, you don't get

398
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: mad at the partner that cheated. You get mad at

399
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: the person and who they cheated with. And it's like,

400
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, if they knew, but that like you're.

401
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: Getting wrong at the wrong person.

402
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Like like let's let's let's attack it at

403
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: the source right here. But let's get back to reality. Honestly,

404
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: I froze in that moment. I was so spun around

405
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: about how fast everything went from great to crap. I

406
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: couldn't even find the words to defend myself. Eventually, I

407
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: stammered out that I had another dress at my parents'

408
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: house and I could go home and change. Bella said

409
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: something like, I think we both know that this is

410
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: the end of our friendship. I've given you too many chances.

411
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: It's time for you.

412
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: To go what she's just megging up right now? What

413
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: do you mean too many chances? What chances?

414
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: I started to cry. I didn't know what was happening

415
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: or what she was talking about, but I knew that

416
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: whatever was going down was really bad. Finally, my legs

417
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: started to work again, and I fled. I left all

418
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: of my things at the venue and just ran to

419
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: my car and went home, sobbing in the white dress.

420
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: Oh oh my god. About half an hour later, my

421
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: phone blew up texts from nearly everyone in my life

422
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: telling me that I was bitter, that I was an expletive,

423
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: that I needed to grow up and get over my jealousy,

424
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: asking how I could do that to Bella.

425
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: Whoa, and now she's just telling the story to everyone.

426
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: I think given that the you know, she was called

427
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: in or that Opie spread a lot that she was

428
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: cheating mm hmmmm Barrett. Which once again, if that is

429
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: the case, why isn't everyone blowing up Barrett's phone?

430
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that is they don't know. They probably don't

431
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 2: know about all this stuff about Like she was like.

432
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: Well, I'm I'm again, We're still like I'm theorizing. Yeah,

433
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: what if Bella spread this rumor that like, oh they

434
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: cheat or you know what, maybe she sped a rumor

435
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: that was like she tried to get at Barrett, you

436
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean, not that they were actually hooking

437
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: up together, but op came and was like, hey, Barrett,

438
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: how you doing, baby? You want to get with me?

439
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: Bear was like, oh my gosh, no way, I got

440
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: I got my woman, I got Bella. I don't need you.

441
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: And that was the story and scene. Emmy Award winning

442
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: acting there, ladies and gentlemen. Is John used to it.

443
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: That's me baby. Even my mother sent me a text

444
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: telling me how disappointed she wasn't me and then we'd

445
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: talk when they got home. Yeah. I totally think Bella

446
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: spread some sort of rumor. One hundred percent, one hundred percent.

447
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: I did when any rational person would do in that situation,

448
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: broke into my parents' laquer cabinet and.

449
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: Got drunk Nike every drink said.

450
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not a great combo, will it. As a result,

451
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: the conversation when my parents finally arrived home was somewhat confused.

452
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: My dad wouldn't even look at me, and my mom

453
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: and I kept talking past each other. She outright didn't

454
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: believe that I had been told to wear a white dress,

455
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: and I didn't understand why. Okay, I'm like, I'm waiting

456
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: to hear the rumor that's spread. If that's all this

457
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: was about, I'm gonna I mean, lokay loki. Then finally

458
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: she said something like because of everything else that happened,

459
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: And I was like, what are you talking about? What

460
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: does that mean? And she said, you know your ultimatums

461
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: to Bella? Whoa pall dish? Bella has been plotting, yes,

462
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: oh plot and some plot and some dirty dirty dates

463
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: all capital all caps. The next few hours revealed the truth.

464
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: Over the last several months, Bella had been building a

465
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: fiction with nearly everyone in my life that I am

466
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: mentally unstable and madly in love with Barrett. You like

467
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: my I'm eating my yawns. I'm trying to go to sleep.

468
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to go to sleep. Whatever, It's all good,

469
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: it's just my I'm awake, but my yawn I need

470
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 1: so much oxygen. Like I have energy right now. I

471
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: do have energy, but my fat nogging sucks on oxygen.

472
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: Like the yawnings helping?

473
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: All right, alright, No, I hate yawning. I want to

474
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: take my yawns and feel a sneeze. Sneeze.

475
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 2: Some people like this sneezing sensation.

476
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: It's cool. I'd give it a give it a solid

477
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: six or seven out of ten. Yeah, sometimes it's relieving,

478
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: fair enough. Not as relieving as what's happening to ope.

479
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: Right now, it's all good. She had concocted a web

480
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: of outlandish tales and systematically poisoned my family and friends

481
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: against me. Wow, my boyfriend apparently dumped me because of

482
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: my feelings for Barrett. Lie. He cheated and I dumped it.

483
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: Oh, oh, so that's what Bella said.

484
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: So it's true. Oh we almost got Riley. I told

485
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: Bella that she needs I told Bella and again, I

486
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: think this is the you know, the fake Oh, I see,

487
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: I see. Yeah. I told Bella that she needs to

488
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: choose between me and Barrett. Never happened. I told Bella

489
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: that I couldn't be in the wedding party because I

490
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: couldn't support her marriage given that Barrett was meant for me. Lie.

491
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: I had a major meltdown before the engagement party, and

492
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: that's why I wasn't on there, on and on lies

493
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: on top of lies.

494
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 2: That's crazy. Why did the parents call her check up

495
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 2: on her? If this is all they know?

496
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: That is such a great question.

497
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 2: Or were they just revealed this information? If they already knew,

498
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: they should a call. If they just got revealed this

499
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 2: information totally makes sense.

500
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: For months to friends and family. So I think you're right.

501
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: I think that the parents probably knew at least before

502
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: that night, at a bare minimum, maybe not months and

503
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: months before. Yeah, it's like, why, like, go and talk

504
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: to your daughter earlier. You know, it's crazy that no

505
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: one said anything.

506
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 2: I know. I reached out and be like, hey, you good,

507
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: everything's all right?

508
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: Right? Why are you bake friends? Bake bake friends. Gotta

509
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,239
Speaker 1: let them, let them, let them know when they're when

510
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: they're slipping, when they're when they're lacking. In all of

511
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: these stories, Bella has painted herself as the patient, long

512
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: suffering friend trying to deal with a friend clearly going

513
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: through a tough time. She expressed understanding for my unrequited

514
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: love for Barrett and empathize with how hard it must

515
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: be for her for me to see her marry the

516
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: love of my life, and had made great efforts to

517
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: try to sustain our friendship despite how complicated situation is.

518
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: The lie has been going on so long. My mom

519
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: literally did not believe me. Finally, I grabbed my phone

520
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: and handed to her and told her to go through

521
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: my text message with Bella, asking her to show me

522
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: any evidence of any of that happening. It was when

523
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: she was scrolling reading through our messages that she saw

524
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: the picture of the white dress I had sent to

525
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: Bella with her thumbs up on it receipts the smoking thumb.

526
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: Oh man, I had completely forgotten about it. Oh that's great.

527
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, op I mean, because if someone thumbs up

528
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: a message, you don't remember that month later. Yeah right,

529
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: So like she Opie stumbled upon this amazing piece of evidence.

530
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: This is great. The absence of any ultimatums or Barrett

531
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: drama in our text, and the picture of the improved

532
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: dress flipped my mom. She finally believed me. She was

533
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: horrified that she bought into a false narrative. She called

534
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: my dad into the room and explained, what was what?

535
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: My dad isn't the type of person you want to

536
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: piss off. I have one skill? What is it? Liam Neeson?

537
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: Oh taken?

538
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: I thought you can do the ratituy thing like once

539
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 2: killed a man with this thump.

540
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't know who you are. I don't know what

541
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: you want. If you're looking for ransom, I can tell

542
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: you I don't have money. But what I do you

543
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: have is a very particular set of skills, skills I

544
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: have acquired over a very long career, skills that make

545
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: me a nightmare people like you. If you let my

546
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I

547
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: will now look for you. I will not pursue you,

548
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 1: but if you don't, I will look for you. I

549
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: will find you, and I will kill you. Thank you,

550
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. That is Opie's dad.

551
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 2: Fun fact I did this monologue in eighth grade to

552
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 2: audition for a theater play. Really and I did really

553
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 2: bad and I did another monologue, and my teacher was like,

554
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 2: this monologue is four times better than the one you

555
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 2: did at the audition.

556
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: That's so funny. It's also hilarious. In eighth grade, Riley

557
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: reading it was like, I will find you and I

558
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: will kill you. That was me, dude, That was me, dude.

559
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: You and Opie's dad, dude.

560
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 2: Two peas in a potter right there, pods.

561
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: You just you killed Dad and me and Liam, four

562
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: of us on buts freaking buds. Bro Oh my god.

563
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: We had to spend significant energy trying to calm him

564
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: down so he didn't walk next door and rip the

565
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: house from the foundation. Let's go, daddy. My mom still

566
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: says that I'm a bit of an asshole because I

567
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: should have never assumed that I could wear white to

568
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: someone's wedding. Called the Okay, called it. We're gonna super

569
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: quick pause right here. Everyone in the comments below, if

570
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: somebody asks you to wear white to a wedding, are

571
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: you the a hole? I say no, They asked you.

572
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? Riley? I ask you, Hey, but hey man,

573
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm parched. I you know we've been cording long. You know,

574
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to be a burden on you. It's

575
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: it's our fridges downstairs. Could you run downstairs and grab

576
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: me an ice col glass of water? And you say,

577
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,479
Speaker 1: sure thing, man, my bud, I got got you. Let

578
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: me do this. You you run upstairs, you get the nice, frothiest, iciest, coldest,

579
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: most beautiful glass of water ever. I come and I

580
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: slapped that shit in our hands. Get down on my face.

581
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: I don't want water. Why would you think that? That's

582
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: exactly yes, this is it. Let me tell you another fine,

583
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: go go about stupid scenario.

584
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 2: He pitched it to you earlier.

585
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: Okay, we won't go there.

586
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: But let's say it's a taboo not to wear a

587
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 2: wedding dress. It totally is a table white dress. To

588
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 2: wear a white dress. You're You're totally right. It's taboo, though.

589
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,239
Speaker 1: That's what if they tell you to do it and

590
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: she says like, hey, I'm gonna wear a black dress,

591
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: so we're gonna do this whole. I mean, that is

592
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: very believable, this one.

593
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 2: It's sort of like if a baby tells you, hey,

594
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 2: I want my room to be painted yellow. Do you

595
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 2: painted yellow? Whenever? You know it's bad for babies?

596
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,959
Speaker 1: Right, Like daddy, I want you to change my name

597
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: to spider Man, and you're like, you're telling me that now,

598
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: but you don't want to be called spider Man Jones

599
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,239
Speaker 1: your whole life. Yeah, okay, I don't know. I just

600
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: people who don't know what they want but then ask

601
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: for it.

602
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: I'm not buying it. There is another metaphor that I

603
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 2: pitched him earlier and he agrees with me, and he's

604
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 2: just find me right now.

605
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: But I am still not they if they explicitly asked

606
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: for it, what do you think?

607
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 2: What do you guys think?

608
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 1: Guys, you're gonna have to settle this because I will

609
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: not give it. I will not give in. Not the ahole,

610
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: not the a hole, Riley says. Is the ahole you decide?

611
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: You let us know. I'm with the mom that I

612
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: should have confirmed it with the other bridesmaids about what

613
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: they were wearing, and that was part of my job

614
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: as a member of the bridal party. Fine, I own that. No,

615
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: I hate that. But whatever wor we'll keep reading. She

616
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: but it doesn't change the fact that I never meant

617
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: to hurt Bella and she has been setting me up

618
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: for this epic bail for months. The next day, hungover

619
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: on multiple levels. I sent screenshots of the call history

620
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: with Bella and the photo of the approved dress to

621
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: multiple people. Unfortunately, this is where my occupation works against me.

622
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: I am a graphic designer God, and people believe that

623
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: I photoshopped the image. See that's what's that's that's where

624
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: we're headed because photoshop is already ruined a lot with AI.

625
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: It's just gonna be like, oh, you aied this image,

626
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: you AI, this image?

627
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 2: Does screen record your phone then or do something where

628
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: you like again in the future, like you'll be able

629
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: to tell like, hey, chat GBT, create a video of

630
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 2: my phone showing.

631
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: That I got a thought up text from Bella on

632
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: the dress. I will eventually be able to do that

633
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: for us.

634
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's not now. Though she could have her

635
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 2: mom record her going through the screen for doing whatever.

636
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: I would do whatever possible to a lot of people know,

637
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: I did not photoop make.

638
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: A photo of my mom like it'll it'll happen, but now,

639
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: not today, not today. But we're on photoshop, so Obie says,

640
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: trust me, if I was going to photoshop some proof

641
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: of it, it would have been a hell of a

642
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: lot more compelling than someone liking an image. That's a

643
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: good defense. That's a good defense. So pretty much nobody

644
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: believes me except my mom, dad, and one of the

645
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: other bridesmaids. One of Bella's friends from college that I

646
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: don't know well. She was there during the dress incident,

647
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: and she found me on social media and DMed me

648
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: that she could tell from the stunt to look on

649
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: my face that I was telling the truth. That's cute.

650
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad you got some support there. She said that

651
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: Bella had a pretty bad case of COVID at the

652
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: beginning of the year, and ever since that she's changed

653
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: as a person, becoming cruel and self absorbed.

654
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 2: What yo, COVID did this start?

655
00:28:58,960 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: Dude?

656
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: COVID and become a horrible what's happening? What change brain chemistry?

657
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: You know what?

658
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 2: You cant do that to you brain fogs?

659
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: She still has a dude, I'm sorry, what is happening

660
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: right now? You know what?

661
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: I think COVID did change her in a way where

662
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: she was stuck with Barrett for a long amount of

663
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 2: times and was feeding off of his horrible personality.

664
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: Okay, Riley, I'll give him that. You're gonna have to

665
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: give me sixty seconds and it'll all pay off. I'm

666
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: gonna be right back.

667
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 2: I hope he's I wonder what he's gonna do. Come,

668
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 2: I guess you canna go tinkle. He's gonna go get something.

669
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 2: If he's gonna use the bathroom, he would do it

670
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 2: down the hall. I honestly don't know what he's doing.

671
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 2: How are you guys doing the audio listeners, doing your thing,

672
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 2: doing your morning routine. I'm always interested of like what

673
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: your morning routines are while you listen to this. My

674
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: morning routine is like getting this ready, well, like your

675
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: morning routine is listening to us, just full circle. And

676
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: then I go out and I find more, and then

677
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: you come back and you listen more. It's really sweet.

678
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: Hope you guys are doing good.

679
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: Though.

680
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 2: We got some truckers, we've got some moms. Oh also moms.

681
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 2: I do want to apologize for my cursing. I know

682
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 2: you probably have like children in there, and they're probably

683
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 2: listening to me. I need to be a better role model.

684
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 2: I will own up to that. Okay, he has something,

685
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 2: Oh boy, looking bella, Oh shoot, oh shoot, look what

686
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 2: you're making me?

687
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: Do I have? There's no way I can handle this sober,

688
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: got a cold one. Cheers to you monster. Okay, this

689
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: is yeah, I get a good sip.

690
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. No sponsors though, no labels, no free sponsors.

691
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: It's the only way I can finish the story right now.

692
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: This is too crazy.

693
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 2: This is crazy.

694
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: She said that the wedding events had been horrific and

695
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: Bella was a monster, and she was planning on going

696
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: no contact now that it was done. Wow, that's pretty

697
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it seems like Bella is showing her true

698
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: character now. So crazy. So that's three people out of

699
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: hundreds who don't think I'm an a hole. Everyone else does.

700
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: My reputation destroyed my life in tatters. I don't think

701
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm the a hole, but I submit myself to Reddit's judgment.

702
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: And you always have some relevant comics coming up. Okay,

703
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 2: I am I am interested. If this were to happen

704
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: to you, how do you have a come back? Like

705
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 2: people they plotted against you say that you were this

706
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 2: horrible person, and all your friends except for three, which

707
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 2: I'm one of them, and Naima and hopefully Sam. You

708
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 2: can maybe throw Sophie in there. Who knows about her?

709
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 2: You guys, can us? Three are the only ones that

710
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 2: believe you. What do you say to the hundreds of

711
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: others that you are not a horrible person?

712
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: What a great dude Riley's producing today. What a great

713
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: what a great question, what a great premise. I definitely

714
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: would want to clear my name. Yeah, I don't think

715
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: I would just sit down and throw my hands up,

716
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: at least the people that I care about. And I'm like, yo,

717
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: this is this is not it? And so she we've

718
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: already sent the text with thumbs up emoji.

719
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 2: There's one simple solution.

720
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: What is it?

721
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 2: I want to hear yours, but there's one simple solution

722
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 2: in my head.

723
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: Hmmm. I mean it's hard because like you could share

724
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: the whole text thread, but like that might be like overload.

725
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what's your go on TikTok?

726
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 2: You confess this is a red as story, right, take

727
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 2: of the virality. So what you got hundreds of people

728
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: that you know against you, think of the millions that

729
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,479
Speaker 2: would be on your side, and then harassed those people

730
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 2: for saying that you are a liar or that you

731
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 2: are this horrible person.

732
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: You are totally right. Do a nice, a nice thick

733
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: TikTok where you break down all the evidence and share all.

734
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 2: The points, do your makeup. While you're doing it, people

735
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 2: love that. You'll have millions of people on your side.

736
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: Then launch a career as a content creator. Wow, that's

737
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: the only solution. Wow. Then reach out to OKOP and

738
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: be like, hey, okay, studios, I want to start a

739
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: new show, and then we're like, uh, fire, let's do it.

740
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: Let's run it up.

741
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: Wow.

742
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the only solutionaire A.

743
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: Plus plus Riley's standing ovation. That's amazing. Well, we do

744
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: have some relevant comments, so let's get into them. Did

745
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: Barrett maybe say something about having feelings for you that

746
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: you did not reciprocate. It's possible, I guess, but I'm

747
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: not aware of any incidents. I think perhaps this has

748
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: more to do with Belle's cousin putting poison in her

749
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: ear about me than Barrett actually having feelings for me.

750
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: But that is just a gut instinct I don't actually know.

751
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: And where's Barrett and all of this great question? You

752
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: said he was your friend, so it seems odd that

753
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: he would watch his bride attempt to ruin your life

754
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: for the fun of it. The first time I saw

755
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: him after last Christmas was at the rehearsal the night

756
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: before the wedding. I gave him a hug and congratulated

757
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: him and expressed how excited he must be, and we

758
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: talked about my drive up and how some of our

759
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: mutual friends' flights had been canceled. It was entirely benign.

760
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: Belle was talking to somebody else, and I greeted her

761
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: a bit later. I never saw him the day of

762
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: the wedding because I didn't make it that far. I

763
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: had no idea what he makes of all of this,

764
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: but I have to imagine that he's been poisoned to

765
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: believe that I'm some drange stalker as well. I haven't

766
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: reached out to him because I'm worried doing so will

767
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: add fuel to Belle's narrative. If your parents were at

768
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: the engagement party, why didn't you tell them you weren't invited.

769
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: My parents were not at the engagement party. My understanding

770
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: was that it was more of a friend's engagement party

771
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: than a familial one, which that kind of low key

772
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: makes sense. It's kind of like you wouldn't you wouldn't

773
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: invite your friends to the this is what the bridal shower?

774
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: The what's what's the night the bachelorette party, right, you're

775
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: not inviting your freaking mima over to.

776
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 2: I'm not going crazy, din't come.

777
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: But they did know it happened, and I do think

778
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: they expected me to come home for it. There was

779
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: a lot of miscommunication between my mom and I. My

780
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: parents have pretty low emotional intelligence and are uncomfortable with

781
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: emotions and drama, so they didn't pry too deeply. My

782
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: mom asked questions like, so Bella told me a little

783
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: bit about what's going on? Are you okay? And I

784
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: would assume she was talking about my cheating X, where

785
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: my mom was actually talking about my unrequited love quote

786
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: unquote for Barrett. Interesting, that's like a cartoon that they

787
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: didn't like. Like they're talking about two separate things. It

788
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: was like, oh, wacky, what are the odds we were

789
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: actually talking about the other thing. But it all makes

790
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: sense if we didn't find out. No, no, this is

791
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: not Seinfeld. Okay, this is real mother flippin' life. Yeah,

792
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: all right, golly, looking back, there was a few things

793
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 1: my mom said that confused me, but I didn't seek

794
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: clarity at the time, which I guess. I guess it

795
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: can happen whatever it's too much. It's too like sit

796
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: commy yeah to happen to real life for me. In

797
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: response to more questions on that thread, so if they

798
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: expect you to come home for it, why do they

799
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: never ask you about your plans to attend and when

800
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: you would be home? I wish I could answer your question,

801
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: but I genuinely do not know the timelines form my end.

802
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what my parents knew when the party

803
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: invites went out. When my parents were told by Bella

804
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: that I couldn't handle going, all this happened without me

805
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: knowing about it, So I just don't know. Trust me,

806
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: the fact that my parents thought all this stuff was

807
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: going on with me and didn't properly talk to me

808
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: about it has been difficult to swallow. Okay, there we go. Yeah,

809
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: it's like, yo, why didn't they tell me any of

810
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: this before?

811
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

812
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: You know. Another question from a commenter also, how is

813
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: it that as you're getting ready at the venue, you

814
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: never see her wedding dress or talk about the flipped

815
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: colors for the wedding until it's time for the bridesmaids

816
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: to get dressed. I was boxed out of all the

817
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: other wedding events. Except for the rehearsal, with which lasted

818
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: about thirty minutes. I was never really put on group

819
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: text about the wedding, which I thought was owed to

820
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: my last minute involvement. It is truly like a sitcom plot,

821
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: how because there was so many opportunities for it to

822
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: be revealed, of like Belle's evil plan, like accidentally slipping

823
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 1: through the cracks, and it didn't. Yea, My mind is

824
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: blowing few Bella, this is crazy. Dresses were in garment

825
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: bags and put on a rack. At one point her

826
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: bridal gown was removed from the room to be steamed.

827
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it was back yet when it all

828
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: went down, which is why she was still in a robe, right,

829
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: because remember she was in a robe. She was waiting

830
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: at the Yeah, dude, she was just like Tiness Cam,

831
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: I won't waste my final full My understanding was that

832
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: she wanted all of the photos of us helping her

833
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: get dressed, which was why we were getting dressed first.

834
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: Now I suspect that timing was intentional, you know, Riley,

835
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: and I want to say it, say it, I don't

836
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: want to say it. Say you gotta give her a

837
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 1: little game, recognized game because Bella is great at being evil.

838
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: She is amazing at pulling off an evil, twisted mastermind plan.

839
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: I mean, well thought out. It worked flawlessly. It really

840
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: like like I could see all.

841
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 2: The steps that she placed, and it went perfectly to

842
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 2: play to get there.

843
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: And and she really put all the ponds in all

844
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: the right places on the board. All the other friends,

845
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: no one believes her. No one said anything about it

846
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: until the piece resistance, the climax of her walking out

847
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: with a white dress.

848
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,240
Speaker 2: Okay, if she did all this, the reason why should

849
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 2: be as equally as impressive as the stunt she pulled.

850
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 1: Yes, which so far it's not all Yeah, I got

851
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: I got COVID what stop?

852
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 2: So he had fireworks out like your kindergarten presentation.

853
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: And that's why you're an asshole.

854
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, like Bella does like all this extravagant stuff for

855
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 2: just a small reason makes no sense.

856
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: It's so, And did she execute it brilliantly? Gosh darn it.

857
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: You gotta yeah, you gotta give it to her. But

858
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: she did execute that.

859
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 2: But the reason why she did it is what I'm.

860
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: Like and what she's doing.

861
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, come on, I'll give it to you. She killed it.

862
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: She did execute it. Okay, I gotta give her that,

863
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: you can't not. Unfortunately, I was the only person who

864
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 1: thought there was a flipped color palette, So I don't

865
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: know why that would have come up in conversation. We

866
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: talked about a lot of stuff, but wedding colors did

867
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: not come up. Another comment, It seems like both you

868
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: and your parents are poor communicators, dang, and Bella relied

869
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: on you not reaching out to her or her parents,

870
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 1: the other bridesmaids, or your parents to ask about wedding plans,

871
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: which kind of my same thought.

872
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but she did wait till last minute to ask

873
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 2: her kind of a flush weeks.

874
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: You're right beforehand, even like a few days before. I

875
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: feel like you could be like, oh, hey did you

876
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: get your white dress, you know, to one of the

877
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,439
Speaker 1: other bridesmaids, and they'd be like huh, Like there's still

878
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: still plenty of time. Yeah, Opie says, yeah dot. My

879
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: relationship with my parents is dot dot. Well, I think

880
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: I need a whole additional am I the a whole

881
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: post for that? It's complicated? Nice? This up day is huge, Okay,

882
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: here we go. Also, this is right below this. There

883
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: is no judgment bought but most comments were not the

884
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 1: a hole or just confused and asking for infail. Okay,

885
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: so it's not specifically talking about no, no, no, it is

886
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: specifically talking about the white dress. Yeah, vindication.

887
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 2: She's not the a hole.

888
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: Vindication, that's I believe what they're saying.

889
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 2: With their circumstances. She's not the a hole. But for

890
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 2: her wear in the right dress, she just she's not

891
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 2: the a hole. But she just should known better.

892
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: No, she should not have because she was told to

893
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: wear a white dress. She was tall. Oh down on

894
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,759

00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 1: souls as the sweet abyss takes us.

897
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 2: Damn, I've really got a picture from that. There's an

898
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 2: image of my head and I can't get it out

899
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 2: of it. Now it's just a poster on my wall.

Speaker 2: Dude, that was like seven days ago.

926
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: That was I have gone back and forth about updating

927
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: my post. If you read my update, hopefully you will

928
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: understand why. For safety reasons, this will likely be my

929
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: one and only update. Before I get started, I want

930
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: to address a question a lot of commentars had about

931
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: my parents. A lot of people are questioning why my

932
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: mom would hear all that stuff about me and not

933
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: check in on or comfort me. Yeah, or confront me.

934
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: It's because I'm an apostate.

935
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 2: A person who renounces a religious or political belief or principle.

936
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: Ah, so she so op renounced, Yeah, renounced her religion.

937
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 2: Person who forsakes his religion caused party.

938
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: Right, Oh, someone who like forsakes and leaves a religion,

939
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: maybe like a post soul apost states she might.

940
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 2: I don't know what religion she's a part of, but

941
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 2: probably Christianity or we don't know. Yeah, yeah, I know Biblical,

942
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 2: she's a Biblical. Yeah.

943
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: Thanks.

944
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,240
Speaker 2: I would say Mormon is a Mormon.

945
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I think that's a last year. I left

946
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: my religion my parents raised me in which Bella is

947
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: still involved in, so she has superior credibility.

948
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 2: Interesting.

949
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 1: My politics also different from where my mom and dad sat.

950
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 1: I was a sinner, capable of any active evil because

951
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 1: I turned my back on biblical principles, assume that the

952
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: broader religious community in this town believes the same of me.

953
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: Despite this, I have a relationship with my parents. I

954
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: am an only child, they are my only family, but

955
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: there was a strain and distance there. For example, I

956
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 1: did not tell my parents a lot about my breakup

957
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: because of the circumstances of that would reinforce some of

958
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: my parents' worst beliefs about me. It's also the reason

959
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: I haven't been home in the last year. It is

960
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: also one of the reasons I assumed things were strained

961
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 1: between Bella and I in the last year. I didn't

962
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 1: bring it up because, as everybody wanted to point out,

963
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: my post was already too dang alone and this one

964
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: will be too. Sorry. Don't apologize, opee.

965
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 2: We are here stories.

966
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: We want to hear everything and anything that you want

967
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: to vents off your chest. We are here to read it,

968
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: and so are lovely, okay, fam. I would have guessed

969
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: that the events of the wedding would strain my relationship

970
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: with my parents further, but unexpectedly it has brought us closer.

971
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: I think of my parents' strong opinions of me were

972
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,959
Speaker 1: more about how they felt me leaving the church would

973
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: ultimately reflect on them in the community. But now that

974
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: the community has rallied against me and the worst has happened,

975
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: they've circled to hert They've waged a holy war in

976
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: their church on my behalf. In the last couple of months,

977
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: it's weirdly cemented that my parents actually do care about

978
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: me despite our differences as people. That's kind of it's

979
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: almost like when the quote unquote worst has happened to you,

980
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 1: It's like, where can we go from here? We've already

981
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: been through again the quote unquote or what someone perceives

982
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: as the worst thing together, and now we see that

983
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: you're in the right on this, so we might as

984
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: well ride for you, especially when someone else is coming

985
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: after you. You know that isn't my baby girl. So

986
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: in that regard, this awful event has been a blessing.

987
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: A lot of the awkwardness between us from the last

988
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 1: year has faded, and it really feels like they've chosen

989
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 1: a side, and that side is me. Sweet. We had

990
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: a great holiday together, So in that way, I'm glad

991
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 1: this happens. On to the updates. In the immediate aftermath

992
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 1: of the wedding and post. I did as many people

993
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:12,240
Speaker 1: suggested and sent a screen recording of my text messages.

994
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 2: I was thinking, that's exactly. I think I'm going to

995
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 2: have said that.

996
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: Your idea was better, though, because if you do like

997
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 1: a TikTok version of it, and really you know get it,

998
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 1: you get that editing, you know that sauce on it,

999
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: you could really you know what it is like a

1000
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: mini documentary. Really, it's a short form documentary. And listen,

1001
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 1: you watch documentary, you're like this, Really it's documentaries. Be crazy.

1002
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 2: You can have part two later. This is part two exactly. Yes,

1003
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 2: you get out of part two.

1004
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: And there's so many things, oh my god, all of

1005
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 1: them the messages from Bella, going back months to counter

1006
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: her narrative that I was unstable and explaining my side

1007
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: of the story. There were three camps that emerged as

1008
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: a result. First, my high school friends, most of them

1009
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: are religious and had been extensively brainwashed by Bella. None

1010
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: took my side except for the one bridesmaid who had

1011
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: already contacted me. Next for the college friend closer to me.

1012
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: None of them had heard Belle's whisper campaign and accept

1013
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: the evidence immediately several of them told me that they

1014
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: had never really liked Bella and she had crap talked

1015
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: me behind my back. Yeah, so they're like, Okay, we

1016
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: know what's good. Yeah, Bella, she's great. This was news

1017
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: to me, but also a relief because these are the

1018
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: relationships I most don't want to lose, and it looks

1019
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,720
Speaker 1: like I won't that the college friends who are closer

1020
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: to Barrett just didn't really care. A lot of the

1021
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: guys are the classic dude bros that are drama adverse,

1022
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: so I'm not shocked that they aren't relishing the chance

1023
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: to wade through and litigate the evidence. Loki, this so

1024
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: feels like something my girlfriend Niwa coach to me, like

1025
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: you need to hear this. Yeah, this is what's going on.

1026
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's crazy. I mean I would be.

1027
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,280
Speaker 1: I would be actually be like that actually is insane.

1028
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, this Belichick is wild. But I mean again,

1029
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: there's just something different when you're in the girl group.

1030
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 1: When you're in the girl group that's involved in all this,

1031
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: you know, no hostility coming from these people, but no

1032
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 1: support either. I can live with that.

1033
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 2: Bella's nuclear and extended family.

1034
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: I have given up on when I was back for Christmas,

1035
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 1: I tried to go over to speak to Bella's parents,

1036
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 1: who were like parents to me also, and they refused

1037
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: to even open the door. I left a medal, I

1038
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,720
Speaker 1: left a letter in their mailbox. It went unacknowledged. In general,

1039
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,280
Speaker 1: things settled down into a new normal and just focused

1040
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: on my life and my work and trying to move forward.

1041
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: I went home for the holidays and just hung out

1042
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: with my parents. Life was okay, nice, And that's the

1043
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: end of the story. Just kidding, of course, not, of

1044
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: course not. Don't be a fool, because Op says that

1045
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: January first, I signed into an older email account and

1046
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: I haven't used in a while to reset a password.

1047
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: In the spirit of New Year digital housekeeping, I started

1048
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: going through old messages, intending to close this account for good.

1049
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 1: When I saw an email from my ex with the

1050
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: subject line I went, remember the cheating X that was

1051
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 1: loosely tangentially mentioned. Yeah, getting of the story?

1052
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,720
Speaker 2: Oh that one I thought I was talking about Barrett.

1053
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: Okay, no, the cheating Yeah, the cheating X.

1054
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 2: Interesting.

1055
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: I cannot describe the gut punch that I felt when

1056
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: I saw that email. I froze up just now writing

1057
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: about it. My ex, let's call him Matthew, was the

1058
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: perfect boyfriend until he wasn't. He became extremely controlling after

1059
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: the first year of our dating. He wanted to control

1060
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: what I wore, what I ate, who I talked to,

1061
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: who I connected with, and what I posted on social media,

1062
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. He was very cunning in nuance

1063
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: with the way he tore me down slowly over time,

1064
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: but then he slipped up. I found out he was cheating,

1065
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: and I woke up enough to get out of there.

1066
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: The breakup was a living nightmare. He was refusing to

1067
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: quote unquote, allow me to break up with them. We

1068
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:48,720
Speaker 1: were living together. He installed tracking software on my phone

1069
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: and bugged my car. He had people at my job

1070
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 1: reporting to him on my movements. I could not get

1071
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: away from him. I couldn't hide. He just kept showing up.

1072
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: He held my dog hostage. The police were useless because

1073
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: he was never physically violent and was careful not to

1074
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 1: write his threats down. I was in absolute hell for months,

1075
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: living under the terror that he would show up again.

1076
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: I had changed my job, my number, my address, my

1077
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: email account, my social profiles or private. This was the

1078
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: one place I forgot to block. Wow. The iwin email

1079
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 1: was sent the day after the wedding. He said that

1080
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: he had become close with Bella after we broke up.

1081
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: He called himself the architect of my demise. He said

1082
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: that he had fed Bella's paranoia about me and Barratt

1083
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 1: and that together they had planned my punishment. I knew

1084
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 1: COVID was not the reason. I was like, really, you

1085
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: got COVID and then you're like, oh, I want to

1086
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 1: ruin this prit No, you don't just like get a

1087
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 1: fever and become scrooge. Yeah, Evane's a scrooge. Yeah, it's not.

1088
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't work quite like that.

1089
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 2: Saying so around the COVID time, she must have been like, yo.

1090
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: Was do Z just completely plotting to destroy her life?

1091
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,399
Speaker 1: He said, losing everyone important in my life was what

1092
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: I deserve and that and then he said we should

1093
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: get back together. You have no one else, but.

1094
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 2: I can be your else. We can hang out.

1095
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: Wow. What a great plan, What a great plan to

1096
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: win her back and make her want you? What unless

1097
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: I wanted more unfortunate things like this to keep happening. Yes,

1098
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: he is a delusional prick. Wow, it took me a

1099
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 1: while to collect myself and get my shit together. After

1100
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: reading that, I fell apart for a few days. My

1101
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: mom helped me pull back together and now knows the

1102
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: details about what happened with Matthew. She connected me with

1103
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: a family friend an attorney that is currently helping me

1104
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: file for a restraining order against Matthew. Good good God.

1105
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: But couldn't afford an attorney and was denied. Oh dank ah, jeez,

1106
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: that is awful. I think the email and the attorney

1107
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 1: saying things the right way it will be granted this time.

1108
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 1: But the hearing is not for a couple of weeks.

1109
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: It is on zoom, and Matthew will get a chance

1110
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 1: to be on there. I am terrified to see him,

1111
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: even just on a screen. If you read this, Matthew,

1112
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: realize that I am not so terrified that I won't

1113
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: taste the f out of you if you ever come

1114
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 1: near me again.

1115
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 2: Oh, tell them, tell them take that Matthew.

1116
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: Poop in your face. Once I had dealt with my

1117
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: own safety, I had the realization that I wasn't in

1118
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 1: possession of absolute proof that the wedding incident was a setup.

1119
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: I considered blasting it out everywhere, but I still have

1120
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: so much shame about being in an abusive relationship. Oh,

1121
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: I cannot bring myself to do it, so I just

1122
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: decided to forward it to Barrett the small amount of explanation.

1123
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 1: That is a smart That's a smart move. That's a

1124
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: smart move. Barrett did not respond to the email. I

1125
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 1: do not know what happened in Bella and Barrett's household

1126
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 1: after that, But what I do know is that two

1127
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: nights later, Bella drunk drove her car to my parents' house.

1128
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: While attempting to park in their driveway, she ran over

1129
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 1: the mailbox. Riley, what is happening?

1130
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 2: I have an okay story, tom.

1131
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 1: Oh no, what is happening here? When my parents answered

1132
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: the door, she started screaming about how I'm a home

1133
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: wrecking salute in her drunken rambles. My parents were able

1134
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,879
Speaker 1: to figure out that Barrett had left her.

1135
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 2: Oh yo, she climbed back.

1136
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: Yo. She's psycho. Honestly, she's crazy.

1137
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:31,280
Speaker 2: This makes sense.

1138
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 1: Good for her, you know, No, honestly, I'm not like

1139
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 1: happy about this?

1140
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 2: What I feel? Are you not happy about this? I

1141
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 2: know it was insane.

1142
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: I know Bella ruined her life, but and like it's

1143
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:48,280
Speaker 1: still not an excuse in the slightest but the fact

1144
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: that the cheating X was brainwashing her this whole time

1145
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: and probably feeding her the same way that Bella is

1146
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,439
Speaker 1: feeding people all these lies and then they turned against Ope,

1147
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: the cheating X was feeding all of the Matthew was

1148
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: she was feeding all of these lies to Bella. Probably,

1149
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1150
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 2: She still went over the line whenever I should not

1151
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 2: have core werced with Bella or yeah, Bella should not

1152
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 2: have coerced with Matthew whatsoever.

1153
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: That's true because yeah, well she she said that she

1154
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: knew like she told her about him, I believe.

1155
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that like if he was behind if Matthew

1156
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,320
Speaker 2: was behind it, and it was something over.

1157
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 1: I don't know why, Yeah, Bella was in it.

1158
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 2: If it was religious reasons or because op was with Barrett,

1159
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 2: those are still like not good causes, Yeah, to do

1160
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 2: pull this stunt like she's psycho, bro Bella is psycho.

1161
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 2: Good for Barrett for figuring that out.

1162
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, honestly, I'm happy that I think Bella

1163
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: is psycho, and I think it was as good that

1164
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: at a bare minimum, maybe if he was like, hey,

1165
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: we need time apart or something, because this is like

1166
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 1: a lot that I'm realizing about you. But believe her, Man,

1167
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: that's crazy.

1168
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. He probably sees a lot of red flags. Yeah,

1169
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 2: this is the last one. I don't know.

1170
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,240
Speaker 1: Her parents were called over from next door to collect

1171
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 1: their drunk daughter. My dad said that they seemed extremely embarrassed.

1172
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people will probably be fist

1173
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 1: pumping the air that Bella met with some karma as

1174
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: Ralely was. I am not one of them. Like h

1175
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: like me, be a no p I get you, Opie.

1176
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: Matthew is a monster, and I know firsthand how charming

1177
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: and convincing he is Bella much like I did bell

1178
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: for his act. Her happiness has been destroyed by Matthew too,

1179
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: and I have a really hard time blaming her now

1180
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 1: that I know he was pulling the strings. But she

1181
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: also made her choices. That is absolutely true. I'm not

1182
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: dumb enough to reconcile with her either. My number one

1183
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: priority is my safety, and anybody who has ties to

1184
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 1: Matthew is somebody I need to stay far away from.

1185
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: That is facts. Bella will have to find her own

1186
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: path back to good. There is a role that opened

1187
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: up on my team in another country. It's a manager position,

1188
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: which would be a promotion for me, and my boss

1189
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: thinks that I should apply. Yoh, well, it would be

1190
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,240
Speaker 1: harder for me with even more distance from my folks.

1191
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: I think being in an entirely new country might help

1192
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: cultivate a new feeling of safety for me. One that

1193
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I can get in the city now,

1194
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: so that might be what's next for me.

1195
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 2: Good for you.

1196
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: I don't really know how to end this properly. I'm

1197
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: just tired. Thanks for the support, Reddit, I probably won't

1198
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: sign into this account again.

1199
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 2: Dang that great timing.

1200
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:26,800
Speaker 1: Wow, the with the job off dude, yikes, dude, that's crazy.

1201
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 2: That is insane, crazy man, crazy crazy crazy.

1202
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta cass my breath. That was a crazy saga.

1203
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm glad for Ope's vindication. Yes, I am getting out

1204
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 1: of there. I'm at least glad that Barrett is kind

1205
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 1: of removing himself. You know, divorce may be a little strong,

1206
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: but yeah, you know, at least he's getting out of that.

1207
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 2: Op is twenty six. It's a new year, going to

1208
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 2: a new country. Horrible things happened to past, but you

1209
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 2: have a really interesting future ahead of you.

1210
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is This is truly what? Also what a

1211
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: random coincidence that she has a promotion bringing her to

1212
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,919
Speaker 1: a entire new place that she could you know, feel good,

1213
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: feel safe, and.

1214
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, start a new leaf. Yeah kind of Like.

1215
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 1: For how terrible this scenario is close to the best

1216
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: case outcome. Again, considering everything that happened, stars are aligning,

1217
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,879
Speaker 1: stars are aligning. Hopefully things are looking up for op Oh.

1218
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 2: In the interview, do you think she would be like, Hey,

Speaker 2: That's crazy.

1231
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: That was good. I think we had some some quick

1232
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:45,280
Speaker 1: okay story time.

1233
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 2: Too, Yes, we're moving thumbs up.

1234
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 1: Okay, so real quick. So a big plot line of

1235
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,439
Speaker 1: the story was the thumbs up on the message about

1236
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: the dress, you know, basically the smoking thumb that the

1237
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,439
Speaker 1: the that Bella had told her to get the dress right.

1238
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 1: So there was a unnamed OKAP sponsor chat we were

1239
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 1: doing this thing for, and they had told us it

1240
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:11,439
Speaker 1: was like an in person deal and they had told

1241
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: us like, oh, be at this place at X time,

1242
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 1: where we had thought that that was the case. So

1243
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: we we texted one person on the team like, oh,

1244
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: should we be here at three thirty? And they had

1245
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: the thumbs up on the text, right, So they're like that,

1246
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: we're good. We're straight. Well, we'll leave it three so

1247
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: we'll be there like early, in plenty of time. And

1248
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 1: then so it's maybe like two forty or something like that,

1249
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, when are you getting over? And

1250
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: I think we were even like leaving even earlier. And

1251
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: they're like, hey, when are you guys gonna get here?

1252
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 1: And we're like, oh, we'll be there at three thirty,

1253
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: like we're actually leaving a little early. And they're like, no,

1254
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be here at two thirty, not three thirty,

1255
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: And we were like no, because like that's not it.

1256
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: And then so this is going in a separate group chat.

1257
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: We go to the original group chat with me, Sam

1258
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: and this other person, and they had removed the thumbs

1259
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 1: up from the thing. I think it happened as we

1260
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:06,280
Speaker 1: were looking at it too. That's insane, Sam, that's insane. Sam.

1261
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: Look at that group dog and the thumbs up.

1262
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 2: Disappeared, and we were like, I can see Sam's face

1263
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 2: right now, just be like, oh my god.

1264
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: So I was pissed because I thought we had, like, ope,

1265
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 1: the smoking thumb taken away from us, taken away from us,

1266
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: you do.

1267
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 2: And you don't even think to screenshot it.

1268
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: You just don't, just like it's there. It's there. It

1269
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: is the fact that they went back and took it away,

1270
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: Like we both it's so crazy. We have a parallel

1271
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: invention or whatever. We had the same exact idea at

1272
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: the same exact time, but with the opposite you know.

1273
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: She's like, they're like, oh, I got to remove this.

1274
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 2: For a second. Okay it thumb's it thumbs up something. Yeah,

1275
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 2: just don't open it. Don't open it. Don't open it. Okay,

1276
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 2: you see it. I'm now gonna un thumbs up it.

1277
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: Wait, I have to open it to see if it

1278
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 1: removes it in real time, right, No, no, no, no, have

Speaker 1: Removed it like I did get it get a notification.

1282
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 2: Interesting, but you were watching it real time?

1283
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the FA Yeah yeah, you're oh yeah, because

1284
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: then we could have been like, look, they removed this note.

1285
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it really wouldn't have dug good anything. It's

1286
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: like it's like it's like suing someone for twenty dollars,

1287
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: like it's not worth the effort. But we were like, dang, yeah,
