My dad is rarely home and my 18 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: mom is always busy with my brother, so neither of 19 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: them have time for me. I've known my best friend 20 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: Rachel since we were in kindergarten. Her mom is the 21 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: nicest person I've ever met. Rachel and I played soccer, 22 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: but my mom was rarely able to take me to 23 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: practices and games, so Rachel's mom would always take me. 24 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 3: That's sweet, that's nice. 25 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. 26 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: I used to be in the school choir and my 27 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 1: parents went to like one performance during the six years 28 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: I did it.

Those are just a few examples. 33 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: But Rachel's mom has always been there for me when 34 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: my parents weren't available. My mom never really cares what 35 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: I'm doing unless she needs me to watch my brother. 36 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: So I spent a lot of time at Rachel's house. 37 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: Once I spent a whole weekend there and my mom 38 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: didn't even call to ask where I was at.

I don't know, it's a really hard 167 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 3: thing to balance when you have a kid that needs 168 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 3: more attention. 169 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, to be fair, already having children is exhausting, 170 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: Right to have a child that is neurodivergent, there's a 171 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: lot more care that needs to be put in into that. 172 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: And it's like I totally get that that's a lot 173 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: and probably very hard to balance.

He has basic life skills, but 245 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: can't be on his own for very long, so we have. 246 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: The full picture. 247 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone's an asshole, including the autistic brother. Yeah, that's 248 00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 3: my take. 249 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: Samuel Donner is known for taking stands. Yea, every man 250 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: will stand on, but Sam does brittle ground. 251 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 3: I'm standing on. Yeah, only enough room for me. 252 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: Here's my question, op is sixteen, still in high school, 253 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: still at the parents' house. I would actually be curious 254 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: for everyone who has neurodivergent siblings, or maybe he's in 255 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: a similar situation, what's the best way for Ope to 256 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: sit down with her parents and talk to them about 257 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: it and like how it makes her feel. 258 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 3: This is obviously a very complicated situation. It's not as 259 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 3: easy as just saying you're an asshole. Yes, I think 260 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 3: this is I wish it was. I think there needs 261 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 3: to be a couple of conversations. It was about how 262 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 3: to balance this parenting because I don't think the parents 263 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 3: are doing a good job of balancing the parenting between 264 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 3: the two kids. 265 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 2: Maybe the dad, but definitely the mom. It seems like 266 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 2: it's not. 267 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I would love to know what you guys 268 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 3: think what should be done.

Christian kid tried to convert me, so 272 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 3: I exploded a possum all over his truck.

We were all in either orchestra, choir, 309 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 3: and or band. Yeah, everyone in those programs ran in 310 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 3: the same social circle. Griffin was a Christian, and it 311 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 3: was a big frickin part of his identity. When we 312 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 3: were in school, he had this like charisma or something. 313 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 3: He used it to invite classmates to his church while 314 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 3: gently shaming all of us for not being Christian like him, 315 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 3: even though he was a major bummer. His whatever charisma 316 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 3: kept him active in the social scene, and he was 317 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 3: at all the major hangouts I can remember during that time. 318 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 3: I was friendly with Griffin because, to put it simply, 319 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 3: I lack confidence. Oh fe sad. 320 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 2: I grew up in a. 321 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 3: Church where I was taught that men were more important 322 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 3: than me, to never question a man. My own mother 323 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 3: even shamed me for wearing my volleyball uniform at home 324 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 3: because John get this, because it was inappropriate and could 325 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 3: confuse my brother. 326 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 2: Mama, you need to reassess your priorities. 327 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 3: That fuck fucked up doesn't begin to cover that church 328 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 3: in the amount I had to unlearn. Anyway, by the 329 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 3: time I was seventeen, I was fully done with the church, 330 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 3: but still struggled with all I had been taught. As 331 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 3: you would, it was a confusing time. Griffin knew this, 332 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 3: and it was his self as signed senior project and 333 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 3: a direct line to our Lord God Jesus Christ. It 334 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 3: was his mission to get me into his church. I'm 335 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 3: ninety nine percent sure it was only about getting Matt involved, 336 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 3: because Griffin also wanted Matt to be a Christian but 337 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 3: had so far been massively unsuccessful. Matt was not a 338 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 3: Christian and had zero desire to know more. He saw 339 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 3: firsthand how the church treated me and my family after 340 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 3: some shit happened that was out of our control, and 341 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 3: Matt was not a fan. 342 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: Oh. 343 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 3: I kept a journal during that time of my life 344 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 3: because I had a lot to figure out. My journal 345 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 3: was playing nothing on it to draw attention, because I 346 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 3: never wanted my family to think it was a journal. 347 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 3: It was supposed to be just like an incognito school notebook. 348 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 2: It makes sense. 349 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 3: One day during lunch, I was at my usual table 350 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 3: while you're a Griffin sets and I realized I needed 351 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 3: something from the choir room, so I left my stuff 352 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 3: at the lunch table, not thinking anything about leaving my 353 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 3: backpick there. I had no idea anyone would go through 354 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 3: my stuff because that had never happened before, and I 355 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 3: didn't have anything of value anyway. Right, Well, as it 356 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 3: turns out, my journal ends up being valuable because I 357 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 3: had written about Matt and I oh, dirty, dirty things. No, 358 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 3: and who should have read it but fricking Griffin. Of course, 359 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 3: Griffin thought he had ammunition to get me back in 360 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 3: the church, and I'm assuming Matt was supposed to join us. 361 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 3: Griffin proceeded to take my journal and tell basically everyone 362 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 3: in our social group and the whole school about my 363 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 3: most private moments. Oh my god, and it was effing humiliating. 364 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 2: Wow. 365 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 3: Thankfully Matt didn't blame me, even though I felt like 366 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 3: it was my fault. He was more confident than I was, 367 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 3: but also didn't get nearly the same shame thrown his way. 368 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 3: Now I was getting. 369 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 370 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 3: I knew I was leaving in a few months, so 371 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 3: I try to keep my head down and focus on school. 372 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 3: But being called a you know, you can imagine the 373 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 3: names by the people I grew up with. Yeah, Like, 374 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 3: after a while, it grets you. I guess Griffin's plan 375 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 3: was to shame me back to church, but instead all 376 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 3: I wanted to do was leave. Yeah, and to ruin Griffin. 377 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. 378 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 3: It took some time, but I would get my revenge 379 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 3: Q the revenge. Matt Henry and I were hanging outside 380 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 3: my house after school. My house was backed up to 381 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 3: a street that often had a roadkill due to being 382 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 3: right alongside a huge swath of woods. At this point, 383 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 3: I knew that my revenge was going to include Griffin's 384 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 3: brand new Forward f one fifty truck. This truck was 385 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 3: literally all he could talk about because it was custom. 386 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 3: His parents got it for him as an early graduation present, 387 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 3: and it was very, very expensive, like those four fifties 388 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 3: can go up to like one hundred grand. 389 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 2: I believe it. They're not cheap. 390 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 3: It was a perfect truck. Bottom line is he loved 391 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 3: that truck more than he loved life itself. I'm not 392 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 3: a car person, so I have no idea what the 393 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 3: truck was or if it was good, but I do 394 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 3: know it was really really tall and extremely lifted, like 395 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 3: you couldn't see the top of it, which ended up 396 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 3: being bad for Griffin, but fantastic for revenge. Ooh, perfect 397 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 3: for hiding stuff. So there was a bit big super 398 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 3: dead possum on the road behind my house that had 399 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 3: been there for what seemed like a week. Oh God, 400 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 3: imagine the smell, John, imagine it. I am sniffet. Oh, 401 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 3: but I don't remember how many days exactly. Normally the 402 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 3: town was pretty good about sending the guy down our 403 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 3: road to pick up roadkill. So I'd been there long 404 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 3: enough for me to notice, which didn't happen often. I 405 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 3: was staring at the SDP super dead possum because well 406 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 3: it was there. I'm staring, Matt starts staring, and then 407 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 3: Henry starts staring. We start talking about Griffin because this 408 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 3: thing has inspired, of course, the Griffin name. Oh yeah, 409 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,719 Speaker 3: because a man's a piece of rotting flesh. We're talking 410 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 3: and I'm getting madder and madder, then livid. However, I 411 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 3: calmed down when I realize this possum isn't disgusting, it 412 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 3: is opportunity. Oh gentlemen, We're going to bag that super 413 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 3: dead possum and put it in Griffin's truck. 414 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this wouldn't. 415 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 3: Quite be that simple, so we started to brainstorm how 416 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 3: we can fully get away with this. Griffin lived in 417 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 3: an area of town where it was fast for him 418 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 3: to walk to school instead of drive. There was a 419 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 3: shortcut through the woods to school, which meant a three 420 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 3: minute walk. Driving to school meant he had to go 421 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 3: twenty miles per hour or slower, and one of the 422 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 3: cops was always out because of how the schools were placed, 423 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 3: so I know, speeding. 424 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 2: Ah. 425 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 3: It still took barely any time, but it was longer 426 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 3: than the shortcut. Griffin, of course, chose to drive his 427 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 3: big ass truck to school, and that left us with 428 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 3: an opportunity and a plan was forming. Ooh. I snuck 429 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 3: out that night, met Matt and Henry wearing all black 430 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 3: and a mask. Dude, they're a heisting right now. 431 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 432 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 3: We bagged up the super dead possum, which is the 433 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 3: most disgusting thing I've ever done, and we drove to Griffin's. 434 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 3: We parked a bit away and went through the woods 435 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 3: to the back of Griffin's house lugging this putrid bag 436 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 3: of nonsense. This was before the time where people had 437 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 3: cameras on their property, so we didn't have to worry 438 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 3: about anything besides lights on the side of the house. 439 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 3: We had decided to put the super dead possum on 440 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 3: top of the truck, knowing that Griffin would be able 441 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 3: to see it. He couldn't drive like an asshole and 442 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 3: wouldn't be taking his truck anywhere beside school, So basically, 443 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 3: the possum's not gonna fall off the top because he's 444 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 3: only going like twenty miles an hour. Ah, I thought 445 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 3: about this. So the super dead possum was super eff 446 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 3: and bloated, and if any of you are familiar with 447 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 3: bloated roadkill, you may know where this is going. Oh, 448 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 3: Johnny familiar. 449 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 2: It's about to be It's about to be a pop balloon. 450 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 3: Let's let's see. Let's see. Super dead possum was heavy 451 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 3: and not going anywhere until this revenge was done. The 452 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 3: next day at school, Griffin parks in the student lot 453 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 3: like normal, We go to class like normal. I get 454 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 3: called a few names throughout the day, like normal, sad. 455 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 3: I went through the day gleefully awaiting the final bell, 456 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 3: knowing that Griffin was in for a nasty surpriseh Now, 457 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 3: this is happening two weeks for graduation in a very 458 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 3: southern state. It is hot as where I grow up, 459 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 3: and ninety percent community on top of it, sounds like Florida. 460 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 3: Hell yeah, So the bloated super dead possum on Griffin's car, Well, 461 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 3: that super dead bossom did what an old, bloated, super 462 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 3: dead bosom is going to do. Oh no, it exploded. 463 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 3: Oh and if you've ever experienced a smell, and I 464 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 3: hope you never do, it is awful. 465 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 2: Wow. 466 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 3: The final bell rang. Matt, Henry and I strategically placed 467 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 3: ourselves a bit behind Griffin so we can see him 468 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 3: once he got to his truck. When you made it 469 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 3: to the parking lot, you made it to the smell. 470 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 2: Oh it was horrible. 471 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 3: God. People were jagging frantically looking around to try to 472 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 3: find the source, while covering their noses and sprinting to 473 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 3: their cars. I knew this plan was going to satisfy 474 00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 3: my revenge, but never imagined this level of chaos. Gets 475 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 3: to his car, and because the super dead possum exploded, 476 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 3: he definitely notices it. 477 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 2: Now. 478 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 3: God, the force of the explosion of this poor animal 479 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 3: meant that all of his windows were cracked. What the 480 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 3: juices seeped into the roof, down the windows and inside 481 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 3: the siding of the doors. Wow, it got all and 482 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 3: the sunroof was open, so it got all in there. 483 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 3: There was no way he was driving home, so we 484 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 3: had to call a toe. 485 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 2: Oh my God. 486 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 3: As he's calling, Griffin starts vomiting because he had too 487 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 3: close to the truck for too long. Matt, Henry and 488 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 3: I were in the music programs and often stayed late, 489 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 3: so we stuck around for the whole fiasco, no one 490 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 3: noticing us, and we get to see everything. We get 491 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 3: to see Griffin's misery. Griffin manages to get on the phone, 492 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 3: calling his parents, crying that his truck has been destroyed, 493 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 3: and he could hear his dad yelling in the speaker. Eventually, 494 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 3: the toe arrives and the toe guy is got but 495 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 3: gets the truck loaded up and out of the parking lot. 496 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: It's like in the movies where like one person starts 497 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: vomiting and. 498 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 3: Then yeah, it starts a chain reaction. At this point, 499 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 3: Griffin had been yelling, crying, vomiting about his truck long 500 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 3: enough that the people left at school knew what had happened, 501 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 3: and by the following morning, the whole school knew. When 502 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 3: Griffin came into school the next day, his parents and 503 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 3: a guy in a suit were with him. A lot 504 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 3: of people knew Matt and I had issues with Gritton 505 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 3: got some beef. Oh yeah, Matt was called into the 506 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 3: principal's office, but never me. I'll never know the exact 507 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 3: reason for this, but it is most likely a combination 508 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 3: of not having a physical evidence against Matt or myself, 509 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 3: and that no one imagined a woman, a dainty woman, 510 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 3: would be involved in a retaliation. 511 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 2: Scheme so disgusting. 512 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, Griffin, his parents, and the guy in the suit 513 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 3: tried to throw Waight around and get some type of 514 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 3: punishment for what happened. But there wasn't really anything the 515 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 3: school could do to appease them without knowing who did it. 516 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 3: We're having evidence that it happened at school. Yeah right, 517 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 3: because they drove to school with the makes sense. Wow genius. 518 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 3: There were cameras at school and it was clear that 519 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 3: Griffin arrived at school with the Superdad possum already on 520 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 3: his car. Everyone totally knew that Griffin's car was destroyed 521 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 3: by Matt and probably me, but never Henry. No reason 522 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 3: to suspect Henry with no proof though no one could 523 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 3: actually say anything. And good side effect after that day, 524 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 3: people stopped calling me names and I was mostly ignored 525 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 3: until I moved away. 526 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 2: Wow. 527 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 3: If people did have to talk to me, they were 528 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 3: polite into the points. I learned later that people were 529 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 3: genuinely terrified of Matt and I because of everything that happened. 530 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 3: So the superdead possum was very effective. 531 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 2: Wow. 532 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: Oh man opie as they say, and like politics like 533 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: the only way to bury a story, have like a 534 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: crazier story. Oh yeah, come out, Wow genius genius. There 535 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 1: is at one little little adendum. The graduation ceremony arrived, 536 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: and being a year younger, I was in the crowd 537 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 1: cheering from my friends. This was completely unplanned, but I 538 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: get giddy picturing Griffin's face. Decades later, as Griffin was 539 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: walking across the stage, I managed to make eye contact 540 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 1: with him and then I quickly made a little explosion 541 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: with my hands winked and he knew exactly what I meant. 542 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: And that's some nuclear revenge, folks. 543 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 3: Let's go. 544 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 2: Wow dude. Solu op, solulu op.
