1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: I twenty two male, suspect something between my girlfriend twenty

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: two female and my friend twenty one male. We all

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: live together. Am I imagining things? This is okop, home

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: to the craziest true stories on Earth. I'm Sophia and Riley.

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: You're my imaginary roommate. You don't exist. I'm sorry to

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: tell you.

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: What so when the cameras are on on you, you

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: don't exist?

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Riley is a figment of my imagination. So and

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: Nord says, I'm really freaking out right now because if

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: what I suspect is true, this living situation is about

12
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: to get really complicated. Please tell me I'm just crazy. Sorry.

13
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: This is long background. We're two couples living together. We

14
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: all attend the same university. The apartment was originally leased

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: by my girlfriend of about two years, Alexis twenty two female,

16
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: and our mutual friend Brooke, twenty two female. The apartment

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: is huge and expensive. There was originally supposed to be

18
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: three girls living there. The last one backed out abruptly.

19
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: They were planning on moving somewhere cheaper, but they had

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: put a lot of work into the apartment and loved

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: it so much. They hated the idea of leaving. I

22
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 1: offered to move in when my lease was up in May,

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: so we could split the rent and utilities three ways.

24
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: I was sleeping over often anyways. Both girls were absolutely

25
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: ecstatic about the idea. Shortly before I moved in, Brook

26
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: started dating my best friend Derek. Oh, he's his best friend.

27
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: I'm nervous, but like.

28
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: Derek might be cool. There might be cool. Money that

29
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: Derek's cool, but money put money on it.

30
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: This was cool because now both couples got to hang

31
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: out with their best friends and significant others all at once. Yay,

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: it seemed perfect. That does seem perfect. That seems like

33
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: a great living situation.

34
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 2: Hopefully one day everyone in this house has a significant

35
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: other and we can all hang out.

36
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: We can all hang out and play board games, board games.

37
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: What did you want to do that? Do laser tag?

38
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: Laser tag? I want to do laser tag. We're Trampline

39
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: Park specifically. Actually Sam wanted my Yeah, I.

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: Have an okay storytelling about trampoline.

41
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: Okay, intriguing. It seemed perfect. Derek began sleeping over a lot,

42
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: and when his parents sold their house and left in October,

43
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: he temporarily moved in. We haven't really been pushing him

44
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: to find a new place, because splitting everything four ways

45
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: is helping all of us so much. But again, only

46
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: Alexis and Brook are on the lease. The apartment owner

47
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: surprisingly does not mind as long as the rent gets

48
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: paid because we're always quiet. There are three incidents that

49
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: made me think something was up. If it weren't for

50
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: these combined incidents, I would never make an accusation like

51
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: this because Alexis is such a sweet and shy girl

52
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: and Derek has been a brother to me. They don't

53
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: seem flirty, but as I mentioned before, all four of

54
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: us are very close friends, so we spend a lot

55
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: of time together.

56
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: Who's Derek dating?

57
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: Derek is dating Brooke, Alexis is dating op Op but

58
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: they all live together even though Alexis and Brook are

59
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: the only ones on the lease.

60
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: Okay, cool, So Lexus and Brooke best friends. Derek friends Derek,

61
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: Brooke Op Alexis. Yes, got it done?

62
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: Incident one mwuf mw.

63
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: Monday Friday A right, really yeah, Monday Wednesday Friday.

64
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: Brook and I have early classes, so we're gone by

65
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: eight am. Derek and Alexis start in the afternoon, so

66
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: it's not unusual for them to leave together, though they

67
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: usually take separate cars. One of these days, I decided

68
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: to wait for Alexis outside of her class so I

69
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: could surprise her with lunch. I watched everyone shuffle out

70
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: of the class, but Alexis wasn't with them. I texted

71
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: her asking where she was, and she replied, just got

72
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: out of class, gonna go home to study, but we

73
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: aw did a surprise her lunch. I called her to

74
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: see if I had just barely missed her or something,

75
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: and there was no response, which I considered weird because

76
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: she had just texted me seconds ago. She's one of

77
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: those girls that's often on her phone.

78
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: Hey, Hey, I'm on my phone too.

79
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're all one of those girls. I ran into

80
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: Brook later in the day and she mentioned in passing

81
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: that Derek had stayed home sick. She was going to

82
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: bring him soup. Blah blah, that's what it says, blah blah.

83
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: At that time, I didn't think much of it.

84
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: Kind of soup cheating soup, Oh, the worst kind.

85
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: When I got home later that night, I noticed Alexis's

86
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: car was in the exact same spot, so she didn't

87
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: leave for class. Maybe she didn't go to class at all,

88
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: and Derek stayed home. She usually parks in our guest

89
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: parking because our unit only has three spaces. As a result,

90
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: her car moves a lot. I asked her if she'd

91
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: gone to class, and she got quiet before she bishly

92
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: admitting to skipping because she felt the professor sucked at

93
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: explaining things. But she knows. I hate when she skips class,

94
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: something that's gotten her grades in trouble before, but she

95
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: recently started doing better.

96
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: Interesting, I don't know just skipped pas.

97
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess if it was affecting her grades,

98
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 1: that's nice.

99
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: Of you to care, but she just lied right now?

100
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, but that's I don't think that's damning. I

101
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: don't think it's damning.

102
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: I was just.

103
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: You're tired, you don't want to go to class.

104
00:04:59,360 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: True.

105
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: I don't think she's I don't think she's she's damned herself.

106
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: Yet, Okay, true, true, minor, So far minor.

107
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: I kissed her and said I trusted her judgment. While

108
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: I was doing the dishes, she explained how she probably

109
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: won't skip again because being bored alone in the house

110
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: was the worst. I laughed, and we went about our

111
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: business at night. We went to bed, and as I

112
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: laid there drifting off, it hit me she shouldn't have

113
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: been alone because Derek was home sick.

114
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 2: Right.

115
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: She was still up on her phone, so I popped awake.

116
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 2: He's literally like Derek, no, no, no, He goes.

117
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: Like, I just can't lean that for back? Do it there? Yeah?

118
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: Straight ninety degree angle, yep, straight up, he Derek, And

119
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: that's that's what he That's what he did. So I

120
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: popped awake and asked her where Derek was today, since

121
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: Brooke had said he was homesick. She seems startled by

122
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: that question, but that may have been from me being

123
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: to sleep. Just suddenly wide awake with a random questions.

124
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: He's literally like Derek and she's like, whoa Jesus, And

125
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: he's like, I knew it. That's what I'm getting.

126
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: He seems accurate. Yeah.

127
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: She said he was here a bit in the morning

128
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: but went to do Errand's or something. She wasn't sure.

129
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: After the other incidents, I realized the scattered way she

130
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: answered this question seemed off, but that may just be

131
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: my imagination. Okay, there's another incident, but I feel so

132
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: far I think she's in the clear.

133
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, nothing crazy, Nothing.

134
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: Crazy has happened. I also think she's warranted for being

135
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: a little bit startled and scattered when he woke up

136
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: from slumber to ask her about Derek. She's like, Derek,

137
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: I don't know you went to the store.

138
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'll give him.

139
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: No, I don't think there's anything going on yet.

140
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 2: Yeah.

141
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: Incident too. I went to throw some stuff out in

142
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: the kitchen garbage when I noticed a condom wrapper that

143
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: was the exact same brand Alexis and I use. It

144
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: wasn't super visible, sort of tucked behind a cereal box,

145
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: but the distinctive color caught my eye. Brooke and Derek

146
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: always use a different brand free from the University health centers,

147
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: while ours are expensive Trojans. Okay, slightly slightly more suspicious,

148
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: but slightly, But Derek and Brook could have been just like, hey,

149
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: we're we ran out. Can we borrow? Can we borrow?

150
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: That makes sense?

151
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, they all lived together. Brooke and Alexis are

152
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: best friends.

153
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: I could see as giving Brook one and not saying anything.

154
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, why would she? Why would she go to her

155
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: boyfriend be like, hey, I lent Alexis and Derek. No,

156
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: Brooke and Derek a condom.

157
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: Just thought i'd let you know it's sexy time.

158
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: Yes, they needed just thought you you ought to know.

159
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: Keep you in the loop when everyone has sex around here.

160
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: It was weird because we usually keep the wrappers in

161
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: our respective rooms garbage cans, so they never appear in

162
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: the kitchen. Furthermore, because of exams in general stress, Alexis

163
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: and I hadn't slept together in a few days. I

164
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: didn't really dig around for a used condom or anything.

165
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: I just went back to the room to check if

166
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: any of ours were. I really couldn't tell because we

167
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,239
Speaker 1: buy in bulk. He's like, I really couldn't tell because

168
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: we do it all the time. My first thought was

169
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: that Brooke and Derek had ran out and broke into

170
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: our stash, and I was upset that they hadn't even asked.

171
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: Later that night, I mentioned the condom rapper to Alexis

172
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: and her eyes got wide. When I mentioned my theory,

173
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: she got unusually distressed She's always very calm, and went

174
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: on a rant about them violating our privacy. I suggested

175
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: we talk to them about it, and she immediately shut

176
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: the idea down and made me swear not to bring

177
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: it up unless they did it again. She didn't want

178
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: to have this awkward conversation, which was weird to me

179
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: because we're all generally pretty open about sex given that

180
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: we live together. Though it's possible that Alexis was being

181
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: genuine because she's from a small conservative town and she

182
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: doesn't talk about these things as much as we do

183
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: more incidents.

184
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: Okay, the fact that they're open about talking about the

185
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: deed and then she's like, we're not going to talk

186
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: about it now because I feel like if you talk

187
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: about it, I like, if I got to say, I'd

188
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: be like, yo, did you borrow anything into my room?

189
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: And he was like and he was like yeah, I'd

190
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: be like cool, but I will, I'll just give it

191
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: to you next time. Yeah, well actually I don't know.

192
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like would so they have enough. They don't know,

193
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: they don't know for sure. Do you bring that up

194
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: after it's only happened once once? I don't know if

195
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: I would bring anything. I don't know if I would, like, I.

196
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 2: Think it'll be likellll, that's hilarious that you ran.

197
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: Maybe they're like, we bought we bought this brand, someone

198
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: lent me this brand.

199
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: Hmm, I don't know.

200
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.

201
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: I think it's just weird that she shut shut down

202
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: the conversation really quickly.

203
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit more suspicious, a little bit more,

204
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: getting a little bit suspicious. Meter is going up. Incident

205
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: number three. Me and Derek are cool with the dudes

206
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: in the apartment next to us, who are graduates from

207
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: our university. We don't hang out or anything, but we

208
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: have the kind of relationship where we have small talk

209
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: about sports or whatever in the hall and are comfortable

210
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: asking the others to keep it down without it being awkward.

211
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: Last Monday, during our break, I was locking up when

212
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: no one else was at the apartment when I ran

213
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: into one of the guys from next door. We talked

214
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: football for a bit, and then he mentioned that one

215
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: of the couples in the apartment is really a fan

216
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: of morning sex and that the walls were way too thin.

217
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: I laughed, because Alexis and I usually had sex weekend

218
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: mornings when we had the house to ourselves. Brooke and

219
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: Derek usually spent weekends at our parents' house about an

220
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: hour and a half away. The more I thought about

221
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: it later in the day, the more I realized we

222
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: haven't been having morning sex at about a month on

223
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: the weekends it had been towards the evening or not

224
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: at all? Did he mean on weekdays? My heart sort

225
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: of dropped. I kind of wanted to ask him to elaborate,

226
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: but the conversation ended, and I feel like I missed

227
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: my chance. Nah. Plus, it's a weird thing to ask,

228
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: and I feel like I must be being paranoid.

229
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: No, no, no. If it's bros and you're talking about it, yeah,

230
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 2: you're like, wait a minute, can I just like clarify something?

231
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: You're talking about morning, you're talking about weekends?

232
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: What time of day specifically?

233
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: Is it bothering you? We'll keep it down because just

234
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: give me the exact time.

235
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 2: A bro wouldn't be a broad would be a bro

236
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 2: and be like this is when I would know and

237
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: he would be like, oh no, you're getting cheated on.

238
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah what it would be there for you? Yeah? Yeah?

239
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: So there you have it. Are slash relationships? Am I crazy?

240
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: Am I looking for signs that aren't there? Or is

241
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: something up? And if so, how do I proceed? I

242
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: don't want to ask her just yet, because one, I

243
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: don't want to come off as crazy and jealous. If

244
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: nothing's up two. If something is up, I don't want

245
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: them to start hiding it better. I was thinking of

246
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: dropping by one of those mornings they're alone together, but

247
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how to time it right. If I

248
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: drop by too early or late, they might get more cautious.

249
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: I think there is an update.

250
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: There is Okay, good update.

251
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: I think that they're all of these things could be explained. Yeah,

252
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: but they all could be signs up cheating. I think

253
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: it goes both ways.

254
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 2: It does.

255
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you mention something? I don't know if you

256
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: can mention something with that little proof.

257
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's good to keep in mind. Yeah,

258
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 2: And even though you are slightly suspicious, it is kind

259
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 2: of like I.

260
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: Think they're just that suspicions. And I feel like if, yeah,

261
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: broaching them any further, like by having conversation about it

262
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: would be really risky.

263
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 2: It would be it's like looking through the phone.

264
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because if you if you bring that up,

265
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: you're like not good.

266
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: But like, would you want to know if your partner

267
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: was cheating on you? Would you want to like figure

268
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: it out? How would you figure it out like this

269
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 2: like dropping by one morning, or would you just like

270
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: try to keep it out of your mind.

271
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: No, I mean I would want to know. I guess

272
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: if I was having suspicions, I don't know. I don't

273
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: know what I would do, but I think that for

274
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: this person, for op, I think, yeah, the best course

275
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: of actually may just try and trump by. Yeah, because

276
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: I mean, like, that's your house, you can drop by,

277
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: so it's not like violating a certain thing.

278
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: This is true.

279
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, I know I think that you know, there's

280
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: already lack of trust, so it's not great.

281
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 2: I'm like, my crazy mind's going like, oh, video cameras

282
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: da da da, But like you don't that's very achy sticky.

283
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: You don't want to get into that.

284
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no no, But if it's happening, I don't know.

285
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: This is so tough.

286
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. What would you guys in the comments,

287
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: What would you do if you thought your partner was

288
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: cheating on.

289
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: You but you don't have enough proof?

290
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I don't. I don't like the going through

291
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: the phone. I'm like, no, I'm against that.

292
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 2: Dropping by seems very plagi Dropping.

293
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: By seems okay. I think that's the best course of

294
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: auction because it doesn't because it's so normal of a

295
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: thing to do.

296
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like spying or like other things.

297
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: That's like like just go home and if you you know,

298
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: if something's up, you'll find it. But yeah, because what

299
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: if he's wrong and you did all that stuff? Yeah,

300
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: it would be bad. It would be bad, right Update one.

301
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: The majority of you suggested that I speak to Brook

302
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: and or attempt to walk in on the act. I

303
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: decided on doing both.

304
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: Whoa talking?

305
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: My god, people's a talking to book. I guess like

306
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: communication is good, but I don't know that's.

307
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: Like dangerous talking to Brook.

308
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 1: I don't know either. I don't know how that will

309
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: go down, but we're about to find out. Okay, Sunday night,

310
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: everyone was back in the apartment. I had every intention

311
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: of speaking to Brook about the neighbor's comment alone, but

312
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: before I could, she said something that completely threw me off.

313
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: Okay, the neighbor's comment, that's.

314
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, that's a good point now, but before I could,

315
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: she said something that completely threw my theory off. She

316
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: told Derek to get to bed so he wouldn't be

317
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: tired for work in the morning. What Brooke did? Brooke did? Okay,

318
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: I knew Derek had a job on campus, but he

319
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: had always worked the same night shifts, being as casual

320
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: as possible. I inquired how long he'd been working mornings

321
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: and when he started. He said he picked up the

322
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: extra shifts a month ago and worked at nine. I

323
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: leave at seven forty five, so it's possible for me

324
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: not to have noticed that. I spent the rest of

325
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: the night trying to figure out whether he was lying

326
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: about that, whether it's still whether he still had some

327
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: mornings here at home, whether Alexis could be seeing someone

328
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: other than Derek in the mornings like some of you suggested,

329
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: or again, if I was just a paranoid loser. I

330
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: went to bed feeling emotionally drained and confused. I feel

331
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: like one thing is also to see how Alexis and

332
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: Derek are interacting in a public setting.

333
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said she was a shy girl. Yeah, but

334
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem like there's any flirtatious. Wow.

335
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: I feel like you can kind of I mean sometimes

336
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: you can't see it all, of course, but like, I

337
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: don't know, I feel like sometimes you can see something yeah, hmmm, yeah,

338
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: Like are they avoiding each other a lot? Because that's

339
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: also you know it is it? Are there interactions exact

340
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,479
Speaker 1: same as before Yeah.

341
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: Like the nonverbal communications.

342
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. The next morning, I left for classes as usual

343
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: and operated on autopilot. I alternated between thinking I'd run

344
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: home to check on Alexis and thinking I had way

345
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: too much work to run around based on a theory

346
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: that I wasn't even sure about anymore. In the end,

347
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: I walked out of my first class and straight to

348
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: my car to go home. In a weird way, I

349
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: sort of wish I hadn't uh oh uh oh. When

350
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: I got to the apartment, Derek's car wasn't there. Yeah,

351
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: just Alexises.

352
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: Oh.

353
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: I walked to the apartment with my heart pounding all

354
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: sorts of crazy. I don't know what I was expecting.

355
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: Outside the apartment door, I could immediately hear a guy

356
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: his voice inside. I heard him talking and laughing, and

357
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: a soft feminine mumble replying and giggling back. I've been

358
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: on the subreddit long enough to see all the different

359
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: reactions people have to the situation. I never once contemplated

360
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: what I'd do. I pressed my ear to the door

361
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: to see if I could make out what they were saying,

362
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: but I could only make out a word here or there.

363
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: There was a lot of giggling. Then I heard the

364
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: sound of Alexis being tickled and shrieking. Maybe I should

365
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: have waited more. In retrospect, I wish I did, but

366
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: I couldn't take it. As soon as I started fiddling

367
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: with my keys, it was dead silence in there. She

368
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: was effing Mark.

369
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: Who's Mark the chest? Mark?

370
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: I never mentioned Mark in the previous post, but he's

371
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: one of the guys in the apartment next to us,

372
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: not the one that tipped me off. Oh so, Like

373
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: I actually was thinking about that. I was like, if

374
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: it is someone else, what if it's the other guy

375
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: from the apartment, yo, Oh my god, his roommates ratting

376
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: him out? Yeah, maybe they like ratted him out because

377
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: like in the sneakiest they could.

378
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: That's wild.

379
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh no, wow, don't don't. Don't your neighbor. You

380
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: will have to live there, You're wild. God, people are messy.

381
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: He's the only one I never liked. Effing no at all,

382
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: douchebag attitude, always made inappropriate comments towards both girls. Why

383
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 1: what is Alexis doing with this guy? Never thought anything

384
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: of it. As soon as I opened the door, they

385
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: both gave me a darn Headlight's look that removed any

386
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: naived doubt. I may have retain that the situation was innocent.

387
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: I was planning on yelling at them or demanding answers,

388
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: but and this is effing embarrassing. My eyes began to

389
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: well with tears. I didn't want them to see that,

390
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: so I said nice, real effing nice, and bolted back

391
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: to my car.

392
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 2: Nice.

393
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Wow, you don't want to cry. Right there, I

394
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: heard Alexis yelling my name in the hallway and picked

395
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: up the pace. I sort of expected her to be

396
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: chasing me, but by the time I got to the car,

397
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: there was no one following me. I drove to a

398
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: park that's near the apartment and sat there in disbelief.

399
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: My first thought, weirdly enough, was how is my family

400
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: going to take this? What the hell am I going

401
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: to tell them? My family effing loved Alexis. They joked

402
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: about our wedding and regularly calls her part of the family.

403
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: Then I started to think about living arrangements. Our finals

404
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: end in about two weeks. There's no way I could

405
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: handle moving.

406
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: Now.

407
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: I'm applying to an extremely competitive graduate program, and I

408
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: can't let anything get in the way of that. Definitely

409
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: not this cheating.

410
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: Be honestly best course of action. Broke lock in and

411
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 2: then just like find a buddy to live with. But

412
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: Bro's about to get into that what he's about to

413
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: get into the graduate program? No doubt, Oh yeah, no doubt.

414
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: No, you gotta get yeah, yeah, don't even focus on that,

415
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: just like.

416
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 2: Use all that pain and energy. Don't yet keep that in.

417
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: Tell Derek and Brook and be like, hey, can I

418
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: see your room? I don't know, I don't know, I

419
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: don't know what. Yeah, they living.

420
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: Find a friend to live with, but then lock in

421
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 2: and you're good.

422
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, just get into that graduation, graduation, graduate program. There

423
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: you go, Lord you lord, Oh my god, I'm riding

424
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 1: this from a friend's house. Okay, that's good. I explained

425
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: the situation. He explained it to his parents, and they

426
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: welcomed me to stay in their home.

427
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 2: Dude, w friends, that's good friends day.

428
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: Not Mark, not Mark, not Derek. I'm going to have

429
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: to go. I feel bad for Derek. There was like

430
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: throwing into the bus.

431
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 2: I mean, but he didn't like it was just a suspicion.

432
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: But then he was completely ruled out.

433
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to have to go back home to

434
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: get some clothes sometime. But I feel like that he

435
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: could ask Brook or Derek's Derek. Yeah, she'll come back.

436
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: I'm planning on going during this lab period. I know

437
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: Alexis can't skip tomorrow. It took her an hour or

438
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 1: so to start blowing up my phone, but once she did,

439
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: it didn't stop. She started off asking me to come

440
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: home so she could explain. Before I even had the

441
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: chance to respond, she sent another one, begging me to

442
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: come back because she was having an anxiety attack, something

443
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: I always help her through. Maybe I'm heartless, but all

444
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: I could think was good, you earned it. There was

445
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: a pause, and then she sent, I don't know why

446
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: you get so jealous. We were just hanging out. Yeah,

447
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: I waited, she sent, Look, I know it looks super sketchy.

448
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: Believe me. If I were you, i'd think the same thing.

449
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: But we didn't do anything. He needed advice on his

450
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: girl problems. You have to believe no, no, no, I don't. Yeah,

451
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: you do not have to believe that. Normally, I would

452
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: have gotten a weird sense of satisfaction watching a cheater

453
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: scramble to cover their ass, but my stupid brain just

454
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: kept replaying all these great times we had together and

455
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: wondering if she was cheating then too. I want to

456
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: know when this started, but at the same time, I'm

457
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: worried it's been going on for longer than the month.

458
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: I've suspected something. I don't know. It might have been

459
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: going on a little bit longer, but probably when you

460
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: notice the science that was around when it started.

461
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 2: I don't know who. I don't think we could know

462
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 2: when it get started.

463
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: That's true. Oh, poor guys so sad like lost is lit,

464
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: like his his apartment, his girlfriends.

465
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 2: What bro's got?

466
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: Now? God, you a program motivation, but yeah, he's like,

467
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: I've got to be the best man.

468
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 2: Motivation. A breakup, a bad breakup, will make a man

469
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 2: do anything.

470
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: He said. Though I know I received a text later

471
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: that night from a number I didn't recognize. It was

472
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: the nice dude from next door, he said, paraphrasing because

473
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: it was a long text that he got my number

474
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: from Derek. He was extremely sorry for what I was

475
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: going through and that he would have told me sooner,

476
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: but he wasn't completely sure. He said he knew his

477
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: friend was seeing a girl with a boyfriend, but didn't

478
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: put it together until he learned the girl's name. As

479
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: many of you suspected, the comment was him trying to

480
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: tip me off. I knew it.

481
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 2: Wow, So yeah, I.

482
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: Guess he's bro the year. That's what a what a

483
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: what a bro move?

484
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: Quite frankly, yeah, because bro also couldn't be like hey,

485
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 2: but yeah, putting that out there my bud is roommate

486
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 2: is with a girl with a boyfriend. You might need

487
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 2: to Yeah, good brood.

488
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: Bro, Yeah because like it doesn't you know, he didn't

489
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 1: outright say it, so he's not causing problems with his roommate.

490
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: But you know that's good of him. I don't think

491
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: Derek and Brook know yet. I haven't texted them. I

492
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: haven't found the words. I know it's going to turn

493
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: our living arrangement and friendships upside down. I guess I

494
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: should message them before Alexis paints a different picture. I

495
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: wonder what the cool neighbor said when he asked for

496
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: my number. I don't think he told them. They would

497
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,239
Speaker 1: have said something right unless they took her side. Then

498
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: I've lost my girlfriend and friends. Oh no, any advice

499
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: on coping with something like this, especially from those who

500
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: have been there before, please let me know. I don't

501
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: have many friends to reach out to besides the guy

502
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm staying with, Alexis. Brooke and Derek were basically my family.

503
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: Alexis and I had talked about spending our lives together.

504
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: I have never been serious about a girl the way

505
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: I was with her. And edit, I'm seriously moved by

506
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: the amount of support you guys are giving me. Please

507
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: keep them coming. I may not reply to all the comments,

508
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: but I've read each one and on both posts. I'm

509
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: going to tell Derek and Brook soon. I'll try to

510
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: do a follow up when I have some sort of planning.

511
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 2: Wow, oh wow, this.

512
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: Is do you well? I think definitely talk to Brooke

513
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: and Derek and be like, hey, this is what happened.

514
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: That's why I'm no longer living at the place. I'm

515
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: going to be trying to find a noop apartment. I

516
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: just wanted to let you know because that's yeah.

517
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 2: Do we beat up Mark?

518
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: No, we can't beat up people.

519
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: But what if Mark is out in public? Can you

520
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 2: see him?

521
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: No?

522
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 2: Do we beat up Mark?

523
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: You go?

524
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: You go, what if you're bigger than Mark and you

525
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 2: can take them.

526
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: Well, then then Mark's not gonna try and beat up you.

527
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: So you shouldn't beat up Mark. Okay, we don't resort

528
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 1: to violence here on Okayope.

529
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, just Mark, Mark, watch out, watch out, Mark.

530
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: We'll come for you.

531
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: We'll go real.

532
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 2: Update. There is an update though, Okay, update you you.

533
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: Wonderful mother efforts. Between the comments to both posts and

534
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: my inbox, I have an immense collection of personalized pep talks,

535
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,719
Speaker 1: which I'm referring to whenever I feel down. Ah, admittedly

536
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: a lot these days. No. I got advice stories from

537
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: all sorts of people, married, single, old, young. Wow. I

538
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: never thought the internet would bring me this level of support.

539
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: I just want you guys to know that by just

540
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: by typing up some comments, you have made a very

541
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: real difference in someone's life. Gotta say, it feels a

542
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: little strange receiving six Reddit gold and making it too

543
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: our slash best of just for sharing the worst day

544
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: of my life. Hah Oh yeah, that's that's rough. I

545
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: got a lot of messages urging me to join red Pill.

546
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: This experience has soured my view of alexis not women

547
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: in general. What is red Pill? Is that like an website?

548
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 2: Uh, it's got to be like yeah, they're like, this

549
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 2: is proof that all women are the worst red pill,

550
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 2: the discussion of sexual strategy in the culture increasingly lacking

551
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 2: a positive identity for men in.

552
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: Cell Yeah, yeh, yikes, I'm glad you didn't do that.

553
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 1: I got some messages saying I write too well and

554
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,239
Speaker 1: this is obviously made up. I have two words for you.

555
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: I wish a clarification on the last update. I wasn't

556
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: clear about what I saw when I walked in. They

557
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: weren't literally effing. They were just sitting on the couch

558
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: with a deer in headlight's look. That was incredibly incriminating,

559
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: and they both went quiet. It was just obviously not

560
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: a hey, guess who dropped by situation. Anyways, onto the update.

561
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: I've been extremely busy with the semester ending, and I

562
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: took the majority's advice to burying my head and work.

563
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: As you said, really it rightly, Yeah, locked lock in.

564
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time at the library because

565
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 1: Alexis never goes there. In the process of posting the

566
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: last update, I realized how dumb it was that I

567
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: hadn't contacted Derek and Brook with my side. I screenshoted

568
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: the text from the cool neighbor Will side note. All

569
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: names have been changed except Mark, because f you Mark,

570
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: That's so funny. Within the minute, Derek was blowing up

571
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: my phone with calls and texts that made it apparent

572
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: he didn't know. At the same time, Alexis was sending

573
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: texts begging me to meet up with her. I was

574
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: feeling miserable and sent back a single text to Derek

575
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: saying I wasn't feeling up to talking, then put my

576
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: phone away for the night. In the morning, I got

577
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: a text saying to meet him at my favorite restaurant

578
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: for dinner and drinks, on him assuring me that no

579
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: one would be there, not even Brook. I haven't had

580
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: an appetite since everything went down, but the offer meant

581
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: a lot, and I really did want to see him,

582
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: so I decided to go after classes. Dude, Derek's a

583
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: good friend.

584
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 2: He is a good friend. You know.

585
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: It was up in the air there for this second

586
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:02,959
Speaker 1: there we thought he was cheating.

587
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 2: He's not, He's not. God.

588
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: I got to the restaurant first, and I had my

589
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: heart in my throat, worrying that Alexis would somehow be there,

590
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: but she wasn't. Derek came up to me and gave

591
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: me a big hug and opened with dude, what the

592
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: f Oh, that's a bro that's a brow. So here's

593
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: where shit gets a bit crazy and dramatic. A lot

594
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: of you suggested that Brooke might side with Alexis or

595
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: had been covering up for her the whole time. I

596
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: wasn't so sure, because while she is closer to Alexis,

597
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: her and I have been friends for a bit longer. Okay,

598
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: according to Derek, as soon as he told Brooke, she

599
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: was absolutely furious. In her words, oh sorry, In his words,

600
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: I sort of wanted to be Alexis out, but Brooke

601
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: took care of that, and then some oh my, ooh

602
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: that's good. Remember how I said Alexis came from a

603
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: conservative small town. Oh, her parents had no idea that

604
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: we were living together, and she constantly stressed that they

605
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: couldn't know, or they cut her off financial. They liked

606
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: me enough to be polite, but they were constantly worried

607
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: a relationship with distractor from school and didn't want her

608
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: getting pregnant or whatever. Yeah, well, it does seem like

609
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: it did distract her because she wasn't going to class.

610
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: Not well, peace, no, not a peace. I meant the

611
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: the cheating. Yeah, not a peace relationship. They should have

612
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: been worried if she would have gotten in too many relationships. Yeah.

613
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: Derek said that Brooke demanded Alexis packer things and find

614
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: a new place where she'd call up her parents and

615
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: tell them everything. Oh, but she's on the lease, like

616
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: illegally of it. Yeah, I guess she's called in between. Wow,

617
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is literally blackmail because she's on

618
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: the lease.

619
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 2: That's tough.

620
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Derek told me that later that night,

621
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: Alexis was sitting in the living room hugging a sweater

622
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: I'd left behind and wailing at the top of her

623
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: lungs that her life was over when Brooke yelled from

624
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: her bedroom. Well, maybe you shouldn't have a ft mark then.

625
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: Imagining that moment was kind of very funny. Brook's always

626
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: been a very no nonsense girl with a hot dumper,

627
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: but I definitely didn't expect this. It was extremely touching

628
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: that she took the cheating that seriously. During the dinner,

629
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: all of my fears that I'd lost my friends were

630
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: completely washed away, and I was able to choke down

631
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 1: a few pieces of sushi. I was just thinking I

632
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: really wanted sushi.

633
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 2: I thought you had sushi recently Saturday.

634
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: In San Diego.

635
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, on Saturday, what'd you have with your friend?

636
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm only giddy. Oh not sushi?

637
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 2: Sushi sounds great.

638
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. When we left dinner, Derek promised to let me

639
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: know when Alexis was gone so I can move back in.

640
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: I declined his offer because one, even if she does

641
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: move out, everything in that apartment reminds her reminds me

642
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: of her, including Derek and brook. Ah. But number two,

643
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: Alexis and Mark probably fed in my room, so I

644
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: really don't want to sleep in it. Number three, in

645
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: the current emotional state I'm in, I don't want to

646
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: be third wheeling a happy couple, even though I'm sure

647
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: they'd be considerate. He understood my points, but said to

648
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: let him know if I changed my mind, because broken

649
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: Alexis's friendship seems to be over nice. This week has

650
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: been pretty uneventful, but I'm keep but I keep having

651
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: to Alexis. Luckily, I'm in an undergradge Bear program that

652
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: only has sixty students, so we have a lot of

653
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: our classes together. I asked two friends to keep an

654
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: eye out for her, after giving them a sparks nose

655
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: spark notes of the story and started showing up to

656
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: class at the last minute. As far as I know,

657
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: she only waited outside of one of my classes. I

658
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: got a text saying B has been spotted in front

659
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: of classroom water works in progress. Proceed with caution. Nice

660
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: nice friends. I ended up skipping the class because I

661
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: didn't know if she was going to leave, and I

662
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: really don't I really didn't want to risk it.

663
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: That sounded like whenever boys play video games.

664
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: B has been spotted in front of classroom. Water works

665
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: in progress. Proceed with caution.

666
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 2: Yes, that was perfect, thank you. Oh my gosh, what

667
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: can she do? Voice acting wise?

668
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: A litany of other things outside of the voice acting.

669
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: Later that night, she sent me a really long Facebook

670
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: message explaining everything from the beginning, and it sort of

671
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: made me sick to read. I contemplated not reading it,

672
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: but once I opened it, I just had to. She

673
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 1: said that he'd been flirty with her in the halls.

674
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: As I mentioned before, he would say inappropriate shit to

675
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: both girls, and she tried to be friendly back, but

676
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: it must have come off as flirting because he kissed

677
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: her mid sentence one day. Oh my God, he just

678
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: that's just assault. Ah, that's just as salt. She said

679
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: she felt guilty that she led him on, and that

680
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: guilt prevented her from shooting him down in future advances

681
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: because she felt like it was her fault it happened,

682
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: and she had trouble saying no, no, no, no, It

683
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: would okay if she had not done anything else. This

684
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: would not have been her fault at all. If he

685
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: had kissed her and she had made you know, she

686
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: was like, no.

687
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: No, slap t boyfriend, You're good.

688
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, even if she hadn't said no in the situation,

689
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: because I understand like being afraid to tell a man

690
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: that you're alone in a hallway with no like you

691
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: go tell the boyfriend. You're like, hey, this happened. It

692
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: made me very uncomfortable. Blah blah blah blah. But that's

693
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: not what she did. She said they had only slept

694
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: together three times and she hated it. He had pushed

695
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: her into it. Quote no rape, but I don't know.

696
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: I never said yes either. Oh this is bad, and

697
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: she was going to end it during the conversation I

698
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: walked in on. She said, she understood if I needed

699
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: some time and some space but that she'd do absolutely

700
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: anything to make it right and would spend the rest

701
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: of her life making it up to me by treating

702
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: me like a king. I never have to I'd never

703
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: have to cook, clean or do my laundry again. To

704
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: give me full access to her phone and passwords, she

705
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: even suggested be installed Life through sixty, an app that

706
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: allows you to track someone's location through their phone, so

707
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: I would know where she was at all times, caught

708
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: off all contact with Mark and all her male friends

709
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: just for good measure, I guess, and makeup sex whenever

710
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: I wanted this. It really sounds like Alexis doesn't have

711
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: a healthy relation, Like Alexis is new to go to therapy. Yeah,

712
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: because it seems like she's really willing to do whatever

713
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: the men in her life want her to do, which

714
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: is really scary.

715
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 2: This is yeah, like she doesn't have respect for herself.

716
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: It looks like.

717
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, Like I understand being afraid to say no,

718
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: but like, yeah, this is this is this is something

719
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: you should up there before.

720
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

721
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: Op, he continues, Yeah, that sounds like a healthy relationship, right.

722
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,479
Speaker 1: I didn't answer. I kind of wanted to keep her

723
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: on Facebook and watch the shit show unfold. She was

724
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: posting dramatic statuses and song lyrics about mistakes, forgiveness and

725
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: some from our song. But I know how I am,

726
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: and I don't want to compulsively check her page or

727
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: go through old photos, so I blocked her. Derek sent

728
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: me a text a few hours later saying she's crying

729
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: and screaming about you blocking her. Lol. Oh, she just

730
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: does not seem in a good place and happier news.

731
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: The family I'm staying with is fantastic. I felt a

732
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: little guilty about taking up their space, electricity, et cetera.

733
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: So I offered to put down rent and pay for

734
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: some bills. I'm unemployed, but my family gives me a

735
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: decent allowance for rent and food. But they declined. The

736
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: dad said first month's free. If you need more time here,

737
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: then we'll talk about it, and winked. This family is great.

738
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: My friend was telling me that they have hosted his

739
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: and his sister's troubled friends, so it wasn't a big deal. Still,

740
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm unbelievably grateful. That's kind of yeah, we've hosted a

741
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: lot of troubled people here, like oh Am, I one

742
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: of those trouble people.

743
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 2: I feel like this is happening in Boston during the winter,

744
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of snow happening what. I don't

745
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: know why, just getting the vibe. I just get that

746
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 2: vibe right now.

747
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: Well we know that the date too in December, so okay,

748
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: so that's water in the States, it is winter. As

749
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: for Will awesome neighbor, I called him to thank him

750
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: for everything. I wasn't up to inviting him for dinner

751
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: just yet, but I will, he apologized, profusely. Profusely. He

752
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: says he can't stand Mark, not just for what he

753
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: did with Alexus, but various other things that I won't

754
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: go into. He told me that Mark has been unusually

755
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: quiet the past few days, and told another one of

756
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: the guys that he had gotten dumped. Whatever. I don't

757
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: want to think about it. So that's really all I

758
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: have for you, guys. I'm still going to be friends

759
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: with Derek and Brooke, but I'm going to limit my

760
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: contact with them because they remind me of Alexis so much. No,

761
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: but they're such good friends. I sent Brook a message

762
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: thanking her for kicking Alexis out, and she said she'd

763
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: do it regardless of whether or not I move back in.

764
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: She's going to give me a heads up on when

765
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: Alexis is gone so I can get the rest of

766
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: my things. In the meantime, I'm spending a lot of

767
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: time studying, applying to grad schools, and hanging out with

768
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: the guys i'm living with. Earlier this week, I posted

769
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: on my university's Facebook group searching for roommates for next semester,

770
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: and I already have a few replies. I'm going to

771
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: wait until after finals to tell my parents about the

772
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: situation because my mom asks a million questions about everything

773
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: and I'm not in the mood to answer them. Again.

774
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you for all again, thank you, thank you,

775
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: thank you for all the messages. I didn't expect this

776
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: level of attention, and while it has made me a

777
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: bit paranoid, someone will recognize the story for the details effort.

778
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: I needed the support. And there is another update.

779
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 2: Wow, he's handling good.

780
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: He's handling it well.

781
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 2: Very well. Yeah, it's nice that he has a good

782
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 2: group of friends around and the family take took him.

783
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: I feel bad because it's sad that he wants to,

784
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: you know, kind of distance himself from Brooke and Derek,

785
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: who seemed like they're very support.

786
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,439
Speaker 2: Like that kind of sucks, but it's like I've never

787
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 2: been cheated on, but I can only imagine, yeah, how

788
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 2: that feels.

789
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and yeah, no, I understand like not wanting to

790
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 1: be around people that remind you of the person, but yeah,

791
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: don't don't let that person take a you know, also

792
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: distance you from your friends.

793
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is true, I hope and like like you

794
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 2: said with the LIKESA, she definitely needs therapy. That's crazy

795
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 2: that she would say healthy, like she's doing whatever she

796
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 2: can to Like, that's.

797
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: What I'm wmory. I'm like, is she just saying this

798
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: for excuses? Is that's how she actually feels? I think, yeah,

799
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, but if she actually feels this way,

800
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: and then she definitely needs to go therapy because that's

801
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: dangerous mindset.

802
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 2: And Mark being sad about being dumbed with what.

803
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: You do with a person who was in a relationship.

804
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 2: Come on, bro, yikes.

805
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: Update three, Well, I really wasn't planning on updating, but

806
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: a lot of you have prodded for one, and I

807
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: do owe you guys after all the wonderful support I

808
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: received once finals ended. I did well given the circumstances. Good, good, job.

809
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: Everything hit me like a ton of bricks. I mean,

810
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: almost worse than the initial insult. I removed all my

811
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: social media pictures with her, threw out stuff that reminded

812
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: me of her, took our songs off my playlist, YadA, YadA.

813
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: We've been inseparable since we met, so this was over

814
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: two years of accumulated memories.

815
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 2: O O.

816
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 1: Long story short, it was very hard that I hadn't

817
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: urge to get it all done before the New Year.

818
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: The whole cliche New Year knew me thing. I guess

819
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyways, One particular editor sent me a

820
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: message about how Alexis might be driven to suicide now

821
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: that she's lost everything, her closest friends, her boyfriend, and

822
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: her apartment. I know that seemed like an anover dramatic prediction,

823
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,959
Speaker 1: but I couldn't get it out of my mind after

824
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: reading it. What Alexis did was absolutely freaking terrible, But

825
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: I feel like a final conversation might give me better

826
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: closure and maybe help her understand that it's completely over

827
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: and get her to move on. So I planned to

828
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: meet with her before everyone went home for break. A

829
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: lot of you were big on the icing her out,

830
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: so I'm genuinely sorry to disappoint, but I had to

831
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 1: do this for me. Lexis, if you want to talk,

832
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: we can meets up somewhere, but there's no way we

833
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 1: can be together after what happened, so please don't ask.

834
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 2: That's nice of him to do this.

835
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, she responded almost immediately, asking where and when. We

836
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: arranged to meet at an off campus coffee place. When

837
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: I got there, she was already at a table and

838
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: got up to hug me. I waved her away and

839
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: she jerked back like a puppy that had been kicked.

840
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: I felt bad immediately, but I wanted to get it

841
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: over with. We made some stupid small talk. She asked

842
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: how I'd been, how we're finals, et cetera, but I

843
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: sort of interrupted it. I asked her if she had

844
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: been unhappy with our relationship. Her eyes got real wide

845
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: and she said no, no, no, no a bunch of

846
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 1: times and got quiet. So I asked her why if

847
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: she wasn't unhappy. Basically, she retold the story about having

848
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: trouble saying no and him being so pushy. I stopped

849
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: her and asked her to cut the bs and just

850
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 1: take responsibility that maybe it excused her actions up until

851
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: he kissed her mid sentence, but sex three times? Yeah? No,

852
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: She looked down, shrugged, and muttered, you're right. I know.

853
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: At this point, she started tearing up and said she

854
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: was sorry, but I'd never understood that. I never understand

855
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: how sorry she was. Then she asked if there was

856
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: any chance we could be together again, which I was

857
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: kind of expecting even though I told her not to.

858
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 1: I just shook my head. I told her she could

859
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: still live with Derek and Brook if she wanted to,

860
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 1: but she declined and told me she already had plans

861
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: to move in with another girlfriend of hers. From here

862
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: on out, the conversation went in circles, with her trying

863
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: to explain away her actions with her difficulty turning dunk

864
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: guys due to her fear of being seen as a

865
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: frigid bee, and me trying to get her to admit

866
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: that excuse was garbage. I don't know why. I just

867
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: really needed her to stop using that crutch and admit

868
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: that she had ruined a perfectly good relationship with a

869
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: very real future all on her own. But she just wouldn't.

870
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: She was always stubborn. Finally I let it go and

871
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: we parted ways somewhat amicably. As I was leaving, she

872
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: grabbed my hand and parted her lips to say something,

873
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: but ended up shaking her head and letting go. The

874
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: conversation made me feel worse than I had before at first,

875
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: but ultimately it really made me see that she was

876
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: never the kind of person I wanted to be with,

877
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: even without the cheating. She never took responsibility for anything.

878
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: Failed classes were because the professor was incompetent. Not finding

879
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: a job, internship was bad luck, and not her lack

880
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: of effort, et cetera. I just never really thought about

881
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: it too hard. I think I was still in the

882
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: honeymoon stage or something. Something equals I'm an idiot sometimes.

883
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: So at this point I leave the coffee place and

884
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: asked Derek to hang out. I ended up going to

885
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: the apartment and all something equals I'm an idiot sometimes

886
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,959
Speaker 1: dango and there's more, But let's take a break, because

887
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: that was at some clarity right there. Yeah, I'm glad

888
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: that they talked about it, even though, like it's sad

889
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: that she's still not taking responsibility for it.

890
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a deep, deep issue right there. Yeah, I

891
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 2: really want to know the real reason why, Like, do

892
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 2: you think she found Mark attractive? And she was like, oh,

893
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 2: this is fun keeping it a secret.

894
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: It could have been like she could be telling the

895
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: truth in her eyes. She could be like, oh, well,

896
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: he kept asking and asking, and so I didn't feel

897
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: like I could say no. But I think she's just

898
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: not recognizing the like sex three times is not you know.

899
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 2: A good enough for that. Yeah, that's so sad. Yeah,

900
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 2: and it still seems she wants this relationship.

901
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: But I'm glad that, like, ohp also realized that it's

902
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: not just this. There are other aspects that he wasn't

903
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: happy with the relationship and he just didn't realize.

904
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 2: That's that's a great.

905
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: Point, like that there were other red flags.

906
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 2: There were other red flags, and it's hard to see

907
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 2: those red flags while you're you know, in love.

908
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yikes, it's tough, but good things. She's like not

909
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: gonna want to you know, off herself. Yeah, we we

910
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: hope that is not what happens. But I do think

911
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 1: in I do think at the end of the day,

912
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: she does need therapy.

913
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 2: She definitely does need therapy.

914
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: Because this is, yeah, a very unhealthy mindset. Yeah, maybe

915
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: she's in therapy.

916
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 2: We don't know therapy.

917
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: If she's not, yeah, she should go, but let us

918
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: finish up this story. So at this point I leave

919
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: the coffee place and asked Derek to hang out. I

920
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: ended up going to the apartment on Although Brooke was there,

921
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: she mostly stayed in her room. We drank some beers

922
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: and played some video games. It really cheered me up.

923
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: We also talked a bit about everything that happened. He

924
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: admitted that they hadn't been able to find a third

925
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: roommate aside from complete strangers. They'd rather not move in

926
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: and asked me to stay with them again. I could

927
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: tell he really wanted me to, and I felt guilty

928
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: about the being stuck with the lease, so I accepted.

929
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: I told them I needed to wait until Lexis took

930
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: all her things, though the furniture is hers from before

931
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: I even moved in, and I still don't want to

932
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: sleep in that bed. Also, Burke apologized for getting so

933
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: involved in the situation and yelling at Alexis. Apparently her

934
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 1: stepdad had jeated on her mom and it's a sore

935
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 1: subject for her. I told her I genuinely didn't mind,

936
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: and she was welcome to do it again if the

937
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: mood struck her. I also bought Will some food and

938
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: drinks at a great place near campus. A lot of

939
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: you wanted to know the other shit Mark had done

940
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: that had Will so pissed off. Apparently he had been

941
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: harassed to pay rent, claimed he couldn't contribute to any

942
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: of the household expenses like dish, soap, light bulbs, cleaning supplies,

943
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 1: and regularly came in yelling and laughing at odd hours

944
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: and agreeing to keep it down, then carrying on at

945
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: the same volume. The standard douchebag roommate really well is

946
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: a really cool guy. We talked a lot about the

947
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: situation with Alexis, but also about school and sports. It

948
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: was actually pretty fun. I eventually did tell my folks

949
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: about the situation, and as expected, my mom bombarded me

950
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: with a thousand questions and cried a lot. So that

951
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: was fun. Going home made me feel a little bit better.

952
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 1: But my older brother got engaged on Christmas Eve, and

953
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 1: given the recent circumstances, I wasn't as excited for him

954
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: as I should have been, oh, which made me feel

955
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: like a bad sibling. Plus, it's all my family can

956
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 1: talk about now, and I'm just not in the mood.

957
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: This is so sad.

958
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 2: Are you tearing up?

959
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:32,240
Speaker 1: No, but it is sad.

960
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 2: It up a little bit.

961
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: It's the light. I'm just I'm just sad. This is

962
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: a depressing story. I wanted to get better. I mean,

963
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: I guess it is better in some ways, but it's

964
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: also very sad in otherwise. Yeah, life isn't it perfect now,

965
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: but I'm doing better. Okay, that's good. Yeah, I know

966
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,720
Speaker 1: if you get into graduate school. Alexis moved her stuff

967
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: out and I bought a secondhand bed and dresser off

968
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: another student. I had my first round of classes last week,

969
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: and although I'm going to sound like a toe nerd,

970
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: the courses are really cool, hands on and the professors

971
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: are incredibly cool people. Derek and Brook have been really

972
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 1: supportive and don't make me feel like a third wheel

973
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: at all. I saw Mark in the hallway once and

974
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: he totally ignored me, and I ignored him, but the

975
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: urge to punch him in the face was a very

976
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: real I get them. I guess that's something that will

977
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: go away over time. I almost wanted to call him

978
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: out and the whole thing, but with the kind of

979
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: person will have described, the conversation would have gotten me

980
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:29,240
Speaker 1: nowhere and probably pissed me off more. Sorry, this update

981
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: isn't as exciting as the previous ones. Thank you for

982
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: your love and support.

983
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 2: Read it.

984
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 1: It really really helped me through such a bad time.

985
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 2: I'm just glad to do it. Okay.

986
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the most important thing that you're out of

987
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: that situation. Yes, you have a place to live. Yeah,

988
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: and you're doing well on your classes.

989
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. And you like your glass Yeah, that's great.

990
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: Your new y wow, wow wowie. But got to keep

991
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: the friends, yes, get rid of the toxic girl, and honestly,

992
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: you got a new friend, will, new friend Will. Yeah.

993
00:43:58,200 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 2: I feel like he could have flipped off Mark.

994
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel like you could have been like.

995
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 2: A good one of these Yeah.

996
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: Yeah that would have been cool.

997
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know the urge to like do something

998
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 2: to Mark, but I probably would do nothing. I would

999
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 2: just probably be as calm as I possibly could, and

1000
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 2: that's what would kill him.

1001
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd be like, I don't even care, didn't even

1002
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: want to be in that relationship. You like walking your

1003
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: mom and that's your look to Mark. Yeah, whatever, dude, whatever, Well, Okay,

1004
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: story time, Yeah, Riley has an okay story to time.

1005
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: About a trampoline park, which has nothing to do with

1006
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 1: the story.

1007
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 2: But you mentioned trampoline.

1008
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: I did briefly mention a trampoline park.

1009
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 2: Okay, this is kind of this is pretty raw. I

1010
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 2: may have told this already, but I don't think i've

1011
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 2: told it to you, Sophia. I was at a trampoline

1012
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 2: park once and there was a hole in a trampoline,

1013
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 2: and I was like, I went to one of the

1014
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 2: workers and I was like, yo, bro, was there a

1015
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 2: hole in this trampoline?

1016
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 1: Sure?

1017
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 2: And he said, we're about to tell you. You can't tell

1018
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 2: anyone else, but this happened a few years ago. Yeah,

1019
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 2: So like, so you're telling everyone, I'm telling everyone. Yeah,

1020
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 2: of course. And I was the last person and he

1021
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 2: should have told him.

1022
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: Yeah of course.

1023
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 2: So if this is graphic, I mean you don't like graphic,

1024
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 2: please skip sixty seconds ahead because I'm about to.

1025
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: Explase trigger warning. I actually don't know what the trigger

1026
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: warning is for, but yeah, what what's what's a brief

1027
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 1: thing of the trigger warning?

1028
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 2: Maybe a minute and a half.

1029
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: What's what's it? What are we trigger warning for? Uh?

1030
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:18,760

Speaker 1: We'll put a thing.

1033
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 2: Okay, So there was this platform and it's like you run,

1034
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 2: jump over one platform, then you jump again over a platform,

1035
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 2: and then you run up a wall. Well there's this

1036
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 2: like big hefty dude that did it. He jumped over one,

1037
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 2: got on the other, one fell, he landed, snap his leg.

1038
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 2: The bone went through his leg the trampoline. Everyone like

1039
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 2: screamed and panicked and they had to get the ambulance.

1040
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: And there was a hole. I kid you, not this

1041
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: big around in the trampoline. God, it was horrifying. That's horrifying.

1042
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: You weren't there, though. This is just what the trampoline

1043
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: park employee was you exactly. That's horrible. Wow, that was

1044
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: a horrific story.

1045
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but oh my god, have other horrific story?

1046
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: I guess. So did do we need another trigger? Oh?

00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: I have the horrific story.

1048
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have a horrific story.

1049
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: I thought you had another horrific story.

1050
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,919
Speaker 2: I don't really like those stories. Sam has a lot

1051
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 2: of horrific stories. Yeah, the amount of horrific stories he

1052
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 2: has told me, I've had to close my ears and

1053
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 2: sing Lola in my head.

1054
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: I know.

00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 2: He's really good at describing things.

Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's not my life, My life. That's not

1057
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: I'm not about that.

00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:34,160

1077
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: many years ago. When I was in college, my roommate

1078
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: was obsessed with one particular TV show, which I was

1079
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: also a fan of, but he was very into it.

1080
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 2: What do you think it was like Office?

1081
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: I think it was. Now was this supernatural but that

1082
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: that wasn't canceled? Well, it had to be an like

1083
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: a show that was canceled. He accidentally canceled it. I know, okay,

1084
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: go on, okay. My roommate he joined different forums and

1085
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 1: groups about it. He participated in chat rooms about it.

1086
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: He was obsessed. At the time. It was up in

1087
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: the air as to whether or not the show would

1088
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: be canceled. So, being an immature nineteen year old, I

1089
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: decided to have a little fun. I recently found out

1090
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: about the service that would distribute anyone's article for free.

1091
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: Knowing that my roommate had alert set up for everything

1092
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 1: to do with the show, I was fairly certain that

1093
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: if anyone was going to see what I was about

1094
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: to do, it would be him. I wrote up an

1095
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: article announcing the cancelation of the show.

1096
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 2: That's just mean, that's just meant to say, it's kind

1097
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 2: of funny. That would be mean, it's a little funny.

1098
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1099
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 2: To see the reaction, I don't know.

1100
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would be devastated if this on one.

1101
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: I started it off making it sound very official and professional,

1102
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: and then deliberately threw some bizarre statements into the article,

1103
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: things that would never appear in an official announcement. Okay,

1104
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: so it's not doesn't look real. I looked it over,

1105
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: sent it in, and promptly forgot about it. The next morning,

1106
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,280
Speaker 1: I got up, jumped in the shower, and started getting

1107
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,760
Speaker 1: ready for class. I heard my roommate chat, Oh my god.

1108
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: I walked back into the room and asked, what's going on.

1109
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: My roommate looked devastated. They canceled it. They actually canceled it,

1110
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,919
Speaker 1: three idiots. I asked him why they had done that.

1111
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,760
Speaker 1: He proceeded to read the arrest of the article out loud.

1112
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,760
Speaker 1: As he reached the bizarre statements, he got a confused

1113
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,240
Speaker 1: look on his face, held his hand towards the screen,

1114
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: and said, what the hell is this crap? I burst

1115
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: out laughing, and my roommate realized he'd been had. He

1116
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: shook his head. You're an ass. Seriously, dude, how did

1117
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: you even get that out there? We had a good

1118
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: laugh about it. He vowed to get me back, and

1119
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: I went off to class.

1120
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 2: Oh so that was it? So fun?

1121
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:34,399
Speaker 1: Innocence and everyone's happy. Yeah. Later that day, Oh yeah, sorry, Yeah,

1122
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: that's not where it ends. What Yeah, there was more.

1123
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: How is a good question, I'll tell you how. Later

1124
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: that day, I walked into our dorm and my roommate

1125
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: had a huge grin on his face. Congratulations, dude, you're famous,

1126
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: he said, happily. What did you do? I asked, Oh,

1127
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: I didn't do anything, he replied, this is all your doing.

1128
00:49:57,880 --> 00:49:59,399
Speaker 1: He sent me a link and told me to open

1129
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: it up. Think open to a post on one of

1130
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: the fan forums of the show. The subject was the

1131
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 1: show's cancelation, and the post was a direct copy of

1132
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,240
Speaker 1: my fake article below, where people were reacting with devastation

1133
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: and pure outrage at the network's decision to cancel the show.

1134
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: They had overlooked the bizarre statements and taken the fake

1135
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 1: article as an official cancelation of the show. I couldn't

1136
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,720
Speaker 1: believe that it had spread so far. I read page

1137
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: after page of devastated fans mourning the demise of their

1138
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: favorite show, and then the mood shifted. The creator of

1139
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: the show posted on the forum after we was contacted

1140
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: by several fans. The post was along the lines of, well,

1141
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: I hope we're not canceled because I'm at the office

1142
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: and working. Now I'm fielding phone calls from my writers

1143
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: asking if they still have jobs.

1144
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,760
Speaker 2: Oh shit, oh, said gosh.

1145
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 1: My roommate burst out, laughing, Oh shit is right, dude.

1146
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: Keep reading. As I continued to read, the tide of

1147
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,320
Speaker 1: angry comments turned from an angry from angry at the network,

1148
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: too angry at whatever F and F head decided to

1149
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: pull this stunt. Uh oh, these people were out for

1150
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: my blood. They talked about tracking me down and beating

1151
00:50:58,480 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: the crap out of me.

1152
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's horrible. Oh my god, dedicated.

1153
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:06,879
Speaker 1: That was when I learned that my roommate was far

1154
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: from the most devoted fan. At least he found it funny.

1155
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,280
Speaker 1: They wrote to both the network and the show creator,

1156
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: encouraging them to serve paperwork on the service I used

1157
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: to release the article in order to find out my IP,

1158
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,280
Speaker 1: which would have traced to the college and likely resulted

1159
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 1: in disciplinary, if not legal action against me. I spent

1160
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: the next two months thinking I was going to get

1161
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: expelled or arrested. Meanwhile, my roommate just laughed at me

1162
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: every time I got anxious and told me it served

1163
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: me right. The following month, the fake article was referenced

1164
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: by TV Guide and is still mentioned on both the

1165
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: IMDb and Wikipedia pages for the show. As for me, well,

1166
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: i haven't spoken about this in many years, and I'm

1167
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,280
Speaker 1: still choosing to use a throwaway because my regular account

1168
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: has a bit too much of me on it. And

1169
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: edit I've written a few comments in response, but just

1170
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: found out they're being filtered due to this being a

1171
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: new account. Edit too. Just woke up to see that

1172
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: someone guessed correctly that it was Veronica Mars. What have

1173
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 1: you seen that show with Kristen Bell. No, oh, it's

1174
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: so good. It's so good. That's crazy. Okay, I'm glad

1175
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: that was this Veronica Mars canceled?

1176
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 2: Wait, I don't remember. I don't even know they got it,

1177
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 2: got red.

1178
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: There was a reboot, but I don't know.

1179
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 2: I don't Ica.

1180
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: It's like a detective show. She's like this girl detective sick.

1181
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 2: Oh she's oh wait, I know her.

1182
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: Where is she from? She's in a bunch of stuff.

1183
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 1: She's in good, the good place.

1184
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:32,879
Speaker 2: Oh she's so cute. Oh gosh, yeah, Oh she's great.

1185
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 1: I love her.

1186
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 2: Wow.

1187
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,320
Speaker 1: Wow, almost got Veronica? But what was it canceled?

1188
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 2: They got something in twenty fourteen. What what do you mean,

1189
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 2: like like they rebooted it in twenty fourteen. I don't think.

1190
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 2: I don't think it actually was canceled. Okay, okay, yeah,

1191
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 2: I'm trying to. He put like a link to his article,

1192
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 2: but I can't pick it up.

1193
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 1: It was, it was good, they got rid of it.

1194
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 2: Is that what I said? I don't think they did.

1195
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 2: They stopped and then they rebooted it. But I don't

1196
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 2: think because of this post they canceled.

1197
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: Isn't the post?

1198
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 2: No?

1199
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: All right, my comments may still need manual approval, so

1200
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're showing up. But as I promised,

1201
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 1: I can confirm that it was. Veronica Mars and Rob

1202
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: Thompson joined the Television Without Pity forums to confirm the

1203
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: show was not canceled. The forums are since defunct, so

1204
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: the link on the page is dead, but here is

1205
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 1: where it was.

1206
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 2: It was like canceled. It happened so long ago.

1207
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's very funny though.

1208
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 2: Wowane, that's crazy.

1209
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: That like a fake art because I see those articles

1210
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: all the time like oh, blah blah blah, this is

1211
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 1: gonna have a new and it's so obvious that they're

1212
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: not like you can do like a two second.

1213
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 2: What Oh, no, go on, okay, you're like that you

1214
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 2: were pulling that up?

1215
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: What was I saying?

1216
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 2: Said? It was like a two second Oh, you can

1217
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 2: do like a.

1218
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: Two second Google search to find out that it's not true.

1219
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 2: The thing that I hate those whenever, like shows that

1220
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 2: are canceled, they're like, oh, we're going to bring them back,

1221
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 2: like Gravity Folds three, And it makes me so sad

1222
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 2: because then I like, no way, when are they gonna

Speaker 1: With Benedict clo Oh, Robert down.

1225
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:03,799
Speaker 2: His junior, Robert down junior.

1226
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: They're supposed to do a third one.

1227
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that one also makes.

1228
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: They also said that they were going to do a

1229
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 1: third Andrew Garfield Spider Man, never got that.

1230
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 2: I never got that. Oh he was a good one.

1231
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: Yeah he was a good one. Oh boy. But that's

1232
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: all the stories. That's not all the stories an hour?

1233
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 2: Should we read another one?

1234
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: Sure?

1235
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 2: Okay,
