13
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: I think is kind of interesting about me.

14
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 3: Is that in your body art is that.

15
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: I am mildly allergic to red tattoo ink. Yeah, so

16
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 2: like the red in my tattoos, each one like it's

17
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: slightly raised as opposed to the other parts. Yeah.

18
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 3: Did you know that going in?

19
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 2: No, I mean I kind of knew it after one

20
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: of them. The next one was, yeah, I could go ahead,

21
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 2: who cares you like?

22
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:46,319
Speaker 3: Put more red in?

23
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 2: Yeah? But I try and stay as little red as possible.

24
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 3: Okay, So you did be reasonable.

25
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so you know, like a lot of people,

26
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: there's red in color tattoos common. It's very common. And

27
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: if you're going to be allergic to a color, it's

28
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: usual red that people are allergic to.

29
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 3: Is it because the the red dyes and I only

30
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: know from paint. It's really it's a neutral tint base

31
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: and it's really hard to put the tints in without

32
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 3: the dye getting messed up or the mix getting messed up. Yeah,

33
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: so is it the same with tattoos.

34
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. There's something about the pigment that people

35
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: have a reaction to, and the EU actually has banned

36
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: a lot of chemicals in tattoo inc Because it has,

37
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: you know, adverse reactions or there's various you know, chemicals

38
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: that we don't seem to mind over here that they're like, oh,

39
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: that's actually not good for you. And like a lot

40
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: of people get brand tattoos, like if they really love

41
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: a brand. A friend of mine he is like deathly

42
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 2: allergic to peanuts and my brother was trying to convince

43
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 2: him to get a Mister Peanut holding the Grim Reaper

44
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: side and he wouldn't do it. But aside from that,

45
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: and I have another friend who there was a tattoo

46
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: gun going around at this punk house and he tattooed

47
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: Taco Bell across his.

48
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: Toes, like like the label like it's like the words, yeah, okay,

49
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 3: you're just the letters.

50
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah Taco Bell.

51
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 3: So he did it like the like the hold fast

52
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: like on your knuckles.

53
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: Yes, for his toes, but his toes taco bell.

54
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: All right.

55
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: So then a lot of people too, they get like

56
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: Heines fifty seven the ketchup. Apparently a lot of people

57
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: have them so.

58
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 3: Much so, oh my god, you're going past me, so.

59
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: Sneaky, so much so that Hines has gotten together with

60
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: a creative agency called Soco and a tattoo ink manufacturer

61
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: named Electric Ink.

62
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? A tattoo?

63
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: It's ink, It doesn't contain, it doesn't contain Heinz fifty

64
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: seven ketchup. Okay, but it's based on the official Pantone

65
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: shade of Heinz fifty seven red.

66
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 3: How did this cut about?

67
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,320

77
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: artists come up with flash designs having to do with

78
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: ketchup or hines or tomatoes or pizza for some reason.

79
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: I guess maybe they put pizza's ketchup on pizza in Brazil.

80
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: Who's to say. But the designs are actually, like, you know,

81
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 2: I wouldn't get any of them, except there's one that's

82
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: like really nice botanical drawings, and then one kind of

83
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: looks like a fig. I don't know where you're going

84

00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: Hei.

161
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, So she'd gone upparaently for an evening jog and

162
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 3: then poof, she disappeared, right like gone. Yeah. Next day,

163
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 3: Mason in a two hundred and fifty of his neighbor's family,

164
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: friends law enforcement. They launched a search for Jennifer the

165
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: Duluth PD. They believe that Jennifer, you know, may have

166
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: been grabbed. So it was also likely that possibly the

167
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,679
Speaker 3: quote she was dealing with the case of the premarital Jitters.

168
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 3: What year was this, two thousand and six?

169
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: Okay, so this was like at the beginning where everything

170
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: was human trafficking for people.

171
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: Sure, I think you reread different press, but yes, let's

172
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: say it was the beginning of everything's human trafficking. No,

173
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 3: but it was about the time when this was kicking off.

174
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: This is like late Bush years.

175
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

176
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: So well we basically, you know, the sheriff to do

177
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: an impression of him. He was like, you see what

178
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 3: we have here, Elizabeth, is a failure to communicate some men.

179
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: Mayoral jitters. I seen it here before. Yeah, he's back,

180
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 3: but the mayor delude, he was all in. He dedicated

181
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 3: roughly fifty thousand dollars of the town's money. It's not

182
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: a big town, but the town's money to search for

183
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: the missing fiance. Tips came in, Clues were found, people

184
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: were looking everywhere. Clothing was discovered. I know how you

185
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: love clues. Special investigator clothing, clump of brown hair found

186
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 3: near a pond. Oh yeah, it didn't look good though, Elizabeth.

187
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 3: They were like, WHOA, what's gonna happen? We're gonna sign

188
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 3: something we don't want to see.

189
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: Was it cut hair? Was it like yanked out at

190
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: the roots?

191
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: I don't question. There was no skin in the reporting

192
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 3: I read so, but they would did find some suspected

193
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 3: murder weapons, no blood or rust or anything on them.

194
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: Just don't get excited, Okay. So two days later, April

195
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: twenty eighth, the mayor addresses the worried town. He informs

196
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 3: the townspeople that he has called in the GBI that's

197
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: the juror or Georgia Bureau Investigation, Yeah right, And he

198
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 3: called it also the FBI, that's a Federal Bureau of Investigations,

199
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: and they were now treating the disappearance as a criminal investigate.

200
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: The spotlight shifted to old John Mason. Did he get

201
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: rid of her?

202
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: Yes? So that was the last time she's seen exactly.

203
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: It was about to be total dateline special. But meanwhile,

204
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 3: Jennifer's family offered a large reward for the safe return

205
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: of their daughter. U huh, if you want to think

206
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: of it as a ransom. Before they got offered the ransom,

207
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: they put out a reward.

208
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 2: Like if they sure have our daughter, that's kind of

209
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 2: what they do.

210
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 3: They put out rewards exactly, so no one came forward.

211
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: The husband to be he receives a phone call with

212
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 3: information about where his missing fiance was. The call was

213
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 3: from his missing fiance. She knew everything about where she was,

214
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: said that I'm right here, I'm right where I am.

215
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 3: So Jane called John and she was like, I'm not

216
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 3: Dad surprised me, of course, was frantic, right, And he

217
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 3: was like I thought you were Dad, you know the

218
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 3: classic movie line. He asked where she was. She's like,

219
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,599
Speaker 3: I'm at a payphone, and he's like, what happened? I

220
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: just got released by my captors. So she speaks kind

221
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 3: of briefly with John, and then Jen hangs up. She

222
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 3: calls nine one one, and in the recorded nine one

223
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 3: one call, now Jen sounds frantic, right, and she tells

224
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 3: the nine one operator that she'd been taken by a couple.

225
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 3: This couple, Elizabeth. They were a Hispanic dude and a

226
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 3: white woman, both apparently in their forties. They were driving

227
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 3: a van, a blue van. Be very specific, I gotta

228
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 3: have a color so blue van. The nine one operator asked,

229
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 3: do you know which direction they're currently headed? Jen told

230
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 3: the operator quote, I have no idea. I don't even

231
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: know where I am.

232
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: So this sounds so much like you're fast forward. There

233
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: was that bozo Gabby Peppino or what her name is

234
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: up north in California did basically the same thing she

235
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: wasn't running from.

236
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 3: She also blamed Mexicans really did, yes, exactly, So this

237
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 3: nine one one operator they knew exactly where Jen was

238
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 3: because they're a nine one one operator, So they just

239
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 3: they called the call trace. They showed that Gen was

240
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: calling from a seven eleven in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Wow, yes,

241
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 3: Jen was in the land of enchantment. So they go

242
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: and they pick her up at the seven eleven. Her

243
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 3: family's overjoyed. Ours thought we got Gen back then, couldn't

244
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: see FBI though a little suspicious.

245
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 2: They're like, well, they're female body inspectors, so of course

246
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 2: they're suspicious.

247
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 3: So naturally they went to work inspecting that female body.

248
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 3: Their suspicions were confirmed when during their interrogation of Gen,

249
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 3: because when they got hold her, they're like, we need

250
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 3: to ask you some questions. They didn't tell her like, hey,

251
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: this is an interrogation, but maybe they did. I don't know.

252
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: I wasn't there anyway. Jen admits that she was not

253
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 3: actually grabbed by a white woman and Hispanic man in

254
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: their forties and in a blue van. She had made

255
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 3: that all up. Shocker of shockers. Yes, jen said she

256
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 3: just needed to get away from her fiance. The upcoming

257
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: wedding was just giving her adjeta. I made the agetive,

258
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: not use Italian.

259
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 2: That's amazing.

260
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 3: But she needed to put a continent between her and

261
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 3: her pre marriage exactly all hand gestures. So the prom

262
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 3: for gen was not only she faked her own disappearance,

263
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 3: but now she had lied to the FBI. Elizabeth, if

264
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: I can give you one piece of criminal advice, never

265
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: lie to the FBI.

266
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: No, that is one of the stupidest things.

267
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: Just say nothing.

268
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 2: They're out.

269
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: And also it's a federal fella. Need a lie to them.

270
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: You will do time for the just lying to you.

271
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 3: Don't have to do another crime. That's the only crime. Anyway.

272
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 3: A week after she cancels her wedding with John Mason,

273
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 3: the FBI charges her with making false statements. Oh there

274
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 3: it is, so Jennifer Wilbanks. She's Meanwhile, at this point,

275
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 3: she's checked herself into a facility to get help because

276
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 3: she needs to address my physical and mental issues, which

277
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 3: I believe it played a major role in me running

278
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 3: from me.

279
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 2: Was she suffering from quote exhaustion.

280
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: I bet you want to spend more time with your family. No,

281
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 3: but she this None of this forestalls the FBI, because

282
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 3: they're the FBI, right, They're like, we are going to

283
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 3: inspect that female body. God damn it. So they get

284
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 3: in there and they're like, well, we'll wait for you

285
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: to get out of your facility. Though we're you know,

286
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 3: we're gentle about this. Now. On June second, the FBI

287
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 3: charges Jennifer with making false statements to law enforcement officially,

288
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: namely to the FBI. You know, they're like, hey, that's

289
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 3: a federal fellony. We gotta charge it.

290
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 4: Jen.

291
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 3: Now, Jen, she gets lucky because she strikes a plea

292
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 3: deal and she rather than have our lawyers strike complete deal.

293
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 3: And you know, can you guess what her punishment might

294
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 3: have been? Just I mean, I'm just gonna kind of

295
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: skip to it because I'll tell you this, but she

296
00:12:59,160 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 3: got a plea deal.

297
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 2: What's your punishment restitution? I would think pay back the town.

298
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 3: And she was on the hook, by the way, for

299
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 3: five years in federal penitentiary. That was the possible maximum. Okay,

300
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: she pleads no contest, so that helps lower Yeah, you

301
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 3: know right. So what's her punishment? Two years of probation

302
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 3: the old bruck turner. Yes, exactly, So that's not all Elizabeth.

303
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: She also received one hundred and twenty hours of community service.

304
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: I did the math. That's fifteen days of cleaning trash

305
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 3: alongside the highway.

306
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: Okay.

307
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. So as for the money that the city of

308
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 3: Duluth paid to look for Jen, she said, I'll give

309
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: you thirteen grand on it. So that's her restitution. You

310
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 3: called that. She was also ordered to pay twenty two

311
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 3: to fifty to the Gwinnette County Sheriff's Department because they

312
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 3: had their whole two days search to pay. I've had

313
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 3: the you know, search for me, and it's costly, right. Anyway,

314
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 3: that was that. Once her parole was over, her criminal

315
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 3: record gets expunged.

316
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: Up.

317
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 3: Wow, summer months past, autumn months past, we think nothing's

318
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 3: really gonna happen. Then this little news story that went viral,

319
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 3: it pops back up because the new year turns months

320
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 3: stretch on it as spring became summer in Georgia. Do

321
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 3: you know what happened? In October two thousand and six

322
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 3: there was this this just I don't know, a blossoming

323
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 3: if you will, it was the desire for legal action. Okay,

324
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 3: Jen sued her former fiance. Wait, she sued him? Oh

325
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: so they split? Okay, so do you know why she

326
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 3: possibly would sue him? And she was the one who

327
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 3: ran sue you, I don't know, so well he did

328
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 3: he counter suit her. She sued him for a half

329
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 3: million dollars. So the runaway bride suit her former fiance

330
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 3: because you know what grounds could she possibly like mental duress?

331
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: You know what? Was it? A book deal? Elizabeth? A

332
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 3: book deal? She was now a criminal, so she had

333
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 3: gotten a book deal book deal. Although she hadn't caught

334
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 3: it in her she hadn't caught a sentence yet, she

335
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 3: did become a famous official criminal. So while she was

336
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 3: like under medication in the facility, her fiance signed a

337
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 3: book deal in her name. I guess are in their name?

338
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 3: And yeah, and then so she sued because he took

339
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 3: that money and bought a house and then like broke

340
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 3: up with her. And then so she's like, I want

341
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 3: my half of the house. The lawyer's like threw in

342
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 3: some punitive damages.

343
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: Right, interesting, So she had to deliver on the book. God,

344
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: you know those like some shark agents poking around like,

345
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: hey listen someone, lady town, why don't you write a

346
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: book about it?

347
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: So he countersuits her for I don't know what, just harassment, then.

348
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: Finally reach a contract perhaps in terms of her I don't.

349
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 3: Know, yeah, I don't. I don't really know what. I

350
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 3: didn't read the lawsuits because it's just I'm just.

351
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: A simple country non lawyer.

352
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 3: Want to tell you this is the tale of love

353
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 3: gone or wrong. Now anyway, they dropped their their matching

354
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 3: his and hers lawsuits, okay, and they decided to move

355
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 3: on with their lives. But the world wasn't ready to

356
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 3: say goodbye to the real life runaway bride Elizabeth. She

357
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 3: kept showing up in the culture in her jogging suit,

358
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 3: and she was arrested. She had on a jogging suit

359
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: and Albuquerque p D put over this like little white

360
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 3: towel overhead because it was like I guess, I guess,

361
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 3: and they were like, yeah, this is a cooler town.

362
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: So that became her iconic image, jogging suit, white towel

363
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 3: on her head like huddled up right. So now they

364
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 3: sold a runaway bride action figure, complete with the towel

365
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 3: that you could use to cover her little action figure heads.

366
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: It like an archie McFee thing.

367
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 3: Dude, I don't even know. So on eBay though a

368
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 3: person sold a piece of toast that resembled jen What

369
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 3: it was like an image of Mother Mary, you know

370
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 3: in the clouds, like the face of Jesus on the

371
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: side of a pop tart. So this toast, with the

372
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 3: likeness of gen it gets treated like a religious icon,

373
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 3: and it has the value of one because how much

374
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 3: do you think it went for Liz?

375
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: They don't know. I am so irritated.

376
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 3: Fifteen thousand, four h dollars what Yes, before we had NFTs,

377
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 3: we'd already lost a damn mind.

378
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: Who thought this?

379
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: I don't know.

380
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: I want their name? Who bought this?

381
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 3: I have no idea who spent.

382
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: Fifteen thousand dollars on a piece of toast? Looks like

383
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: no one knows.

384
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: Who it is exactly. I could have been anyone, you

385
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 3: would The idea of who she was would have gone

386
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 3: stale faster than.

387
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: The bread shroud of turin toast. But they're trying to put.

388
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: Out there that this is her fifteen grand But that's

389
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: not all the fine makers of America's money wandering hot sauces.

390
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 3: They were inspired to make a high tail and hot sauce.

391
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 3: Oh god, yeah. Albuquerque PD they got in on the

392
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 3: act too. They put up a billboard with a deputy

393
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 3: chasing after a woman in a white wedding dress, and

394
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: the tagline for the billboard said, run away from your

395
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 3: current shop, call APD recruiting. No, but my favorite had

396
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 3: to be out of all the gen the runaway bride

397
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,639

400
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 3: of women. Robert Woody Harrelson is in it. So Woody

401
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 3: Harrelson's apparently some sleeves bag and he's gonna get He

418
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 3: how you do it. Right. If you select a groom

419
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 3: for yourself, you set up with their family. Yeah, you're

420
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 3: like you're a medieval maiden. You're like, I present the

421
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 3: maiden to you in your groom. You can set it

422
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 3: all up. You range your own wedding, right, or if

423
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 3: you're the groom, you do the same thing. You're just

424
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 3: come in like, okay, where's your medieval maiden? I am

425
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 3: the groom?

426
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: Presented it like getting married.

427
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 3: But no, but like old school style, like you have

428
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 3: to go like wouldn't we be a good fit? Right?

429
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 3: You know that's the idea. Well, I got a story

430
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 3: for you about exactly that. This will probably be not

431
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: at all surprising to you. Yeah knows, maybe it will

432
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 3: be Anyway, a young woman wanted to get the attention

433
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 3: of her ex. So what does she do, Elizabeth? She

434
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 3: does what any relative the unhinged person would do. She

435
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 3: hires a professional photographer, a male model, and she shoots

436
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 3: an elaborate video faking her own wedding.

437
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 2: I thought you're gonna say, she just drove by his

438
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: house a bunch of times at night.

439
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 3: Look at me and Chad. So her plan was to

440
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: get her ex to text her, so she faked a wedding. Okay,

441
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 3: I don't understand this anyway. Apparently she thought that her

442
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 3: ex would see the elaborate, stunning portraiture of her as

443
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 3: a bride and he would be just overwhelmed, just become

444
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 3: with jealousy and regret, and he would then convince her

445
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 3: to leave her new husband.

446
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 2: I guess work that way.

447
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: Anyway. It was a far fitch plan. So the fake

448
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 3: bride was kind enough to share all of this on TikTok.

449
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 3: So if you're into it, you can look up die

450
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 3: like die Chachlan sc chak l I n user d

451
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 3: Chachlan right, and she posted on November eleventh, twenty twenty one. Yes,

452
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 3: she added the caption worst part is he watched my

453
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 3: story and he still didn't reach out. My favorite comment

454
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 3: though on all this stuff, had to be the horse

455
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 3: is a paid actor. Thest romantic and practical minded among

456
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 3: us we focus on the fact, why would her ex

457
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 3: reach out after she got married like you do an

458
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 3: engagement party.

459
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 2: She needs better friends. Yeah, I help her out with

460
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: them exactly.

461
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 3: So maybe she should have faked of like a friend

462
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 3: party and get some friends in there. She could hire

463
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 3: those actors. Maybe a couple take.

464
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: Like a traumatic injury and that you're like, it was

465
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 2: such a close call.

466
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: Oh that's good.

467
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 2: And then he's got, oh, you know, like I almost

468
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: lost you, and now.

469
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 3: I realize, oh, that's smart.

470

Speaker 3: Yeah? One of the commenters wrote. I think my favorite

476
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 3: comment they said quote I did this and he actually

477
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 3: reached out and stopped the wedding and he asked me

478
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 3: to marry him. All it takes is just the right

479
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,239
Speaker 3: amount of crazy ladies lies. I don't believe that, but

480
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 3: I was like a like.

481
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 2: A twelve year old boy in a basement somewhere.

482
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 3: They just watched the graduate there. I got on the

483
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 3: back of a bus and anyway, so there is no

484
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 3: one word for you. I mean, it's shortage of crazed

485
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 3: marriage hopefuls. As we have seen. Right in Germany, there

486
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,239
Speaker 3: was a woman who wanted to get back at her

487
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 3: ex by faking a wedding. The woman her name is

488
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 3: Sarah Bellard. She was a student at the time, twenty

489
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 3: four years old. She wanted the cold satisfaction of vengeance. Yes,

490
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 3: so she wanted She and her boyfriend they'd broken up,

491
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 3: all right, three months later, she still burned for satisfaction.

492
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 3: So she decided she get her revenge by getting fake

493
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 3: married again. I'll show you and he's like okay. She

494
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 3: hired a stand in stunt groom. She bought herself an

495
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 3: exquisite wedding dress. She asked her friends to be her

496
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 3: bridal party. She booked herself like a suite at the

497
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 3: Villa Kennedy and Frankfurt, Germany. That's a five star hotel

498
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: over there.

499
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 2: Nine.

500
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's known for its dedication to luxury. Yeah, it's

501
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 3: very nice. So anyway, she arranged a sumptuous photo shoot.

502
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: Once she'd faked her nuptials, Elizabeth, she did what any

503
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 3: new blushing bride would do. She posted them all to

504
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 3: social media because she soundtracked the video with the Gnarls

505
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 3: Barkley song Crazy the exactly Wait it worked. Her ex

506
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 3: saw the images and, unlike the first cat, he reached out.

507
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 2: Are you kidding?

508
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 3: What was his response to Elizabeth? Did he reach out because

509
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 3: he wanted to say, like, I want my favorite hoodies back.

510
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 2: No, he's like, you are crazy?

511
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 3: He wanted her the court of the fake bride? She

512
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 3: said quote He found out through Instagram and texted me

513
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 3: the next day and freaked out because he thought I

514
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 3: was cheating on him while we were together. I don't

515
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 3: know why. She sounds like she's from the valley even

516
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 3: though she's Germany. But what a part he assumed that

517
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 3: she was cheating. Worse, it didn't decided it. He would

518
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 3: come back to her for cheating, and he wanted to

519
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 3: talk about how dare you cheat him? So she knew

520
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 3: her man. I guess okay. At this point, she'd gotten

521
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 3: what she wished for, and then she decided at the end,

522
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 3: sayer of a large he triumphantly reported quote. He came

523
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 3: to my house and wanted to talk to me afterward.

524
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 3: I wasn't interested. I blocked him everywhere, and I set

525
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 3: my profile to private and I removed the pictures. Exactly.

526
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 3: She got it.

527
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,760

528
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,600

00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 3: the Tucson PD pull her over and they discovered that

631
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,320

00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 3: to get to my wedding.

633
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 2: This is she was in a three car accident. Yes,

634
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 2: like fled that beforehand or like that same day, like moments.

635
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 3: Later earlier, Boom gets in a three car accident, peels away,

636
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 3: drives away, and ambering on down the Tucson Road to

637
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 3: catch up her pull over. They're like, ma'am, you need

638
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,239
Speaker 3: to pull over. She's like, I'm just want to get

639
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 3: to high wedding. And the officer's like, is that your

640
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 3: wedding dress that you're spilling sonor and hot dogs?

641
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 2: Wedding dress?

00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 3: Wedding dress.

643
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 2: Yes.

644
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 3: Amber confidently tells the officer, yes it is. And then

645
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 3: officer has the obvious question, ma'am have you been drinking?

646
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 3: And Amber says, no, I have not been. And then

647
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 3: she's like, well, maybe it's a little bit because I

648
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 3: have a head of nervous. So she she was nervous

649
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 3: about her upcoming wedding. She had a bad case of

650
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 3: the jitters. I was very scared about everything, is what

651
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 3: she said. And I call So they weren't her therapist,

652
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 3: so they didn't care about her being very scared about everything.

653
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 3: They just cared about her being a drunk driver, so

654
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 3: they arrested her. They processed her mounting fears in jail,

655
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 3: and the Tuson PD they asked her, you know, to

656
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 3: do a field sobriety test. Obviously, she was unable to

657
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 3: guide her fingertips to her nose walk the straight line.

658
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 3: And then the one officer right before they booked her,

659
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 3: they were like, Amber, do you think you should have

660
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 3: been driving today? It's incredible, Elizabeth Hamber, says Tucson PDE officer.

661
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 3: I think I'm getting married today. I wasn't really sure

662
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 3: that I was supposed to be doing today.

663
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: I think I'm getting ready today, but I wasn't really.

664
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 3: Sure what I was supposed to be doing. I think

665
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 3: that's what I was doing, but there may have been

666
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 3: other things. Friends, So they came up with the rest

667
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 3: of her day. They arrested her, and they took her,

668
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 3: book her on a DUI spent. She spent two days

669
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 3: mooning in the county lock up. Now, for purposes of

670
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 3: fairness inequality, I would like to present to you now

671
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 3: a wayward groom, because you know, it's unfair to make

672
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 3: it seem like it's all we rides running. So this

673
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 3: dude he faked a kidnapping to get out of a wedding. Yes,

674
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 3: he was an older cat, fifty five year old bachelor

675
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 3: who should better reside in the small town of Columbia

676
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: in Columbia Country called Pittaalito, which means little petal So

677
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 3: his wedding was slated. Scheduled fiance local woman. They shared

678
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 3: friends and neighbors. They were of the same community. Wedding

679
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 3: day draws closer, his feet grow even colder. He decides

680
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 3: married life just isn't for him, right, so he has

681
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 3: to get away. What's he gonna do, Elizabeth? He does

682
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 3: not have Kalagan. What's he going to do? He decides

683
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 3: he will steal himself. He kidnaps himself, or rather he

684
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 3: faked it. He didn't even really kidnap himself. Fucked off. Yeah,

685
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 3: he didn't realize how seriously his friends and neighbors would

686
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 3: take his disappearance though, because he over kind of overshot

687
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 3: that one. So the police get called in, the army

688
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 3: gets involved. Meanwhile, on his sides, it was just him

689
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 3: and his deadbeat friends who I assume we like his

690
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:01,959
Speaker 3: friends in the local bar. They were the ones who

691
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 3: came up. But you know, you should do men, so

692
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 3: they're like buddies. Just lay it low manutside.

693
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 4: A few days, we'll call the cops and we'll tell them, Hey, man,

694
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 4: we looked for you, we couldn't find you.

695
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 3: And then they'll call off the search and it'll be cool, man,

696
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 3: don't worry about it. Hey. And so Simon the fiance,

697
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 3: she was not into this, and so he goes into

698
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 3: hiding and friends call into the emergency services. They report, Hey,

699
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 3: our buddies missing and the buddy has been abducted by

700
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 3: a small group of well armed men. Right, so they're like,

701
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 3: you know, I think farc has them. So the gang, uh,

702
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 3: they said, this gang roared up on motorbikes, they pointed guns,

703
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: they abducted the groom and zoomed away. So that's totally

704
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 3: makes no sense. But the story, that's the story they tell.

705
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 3: But the thing was it was too specific. It was

706
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 3: it was too dramatic. It caught the attention of too

707
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 3: many years because it was just too compelling. Men on motorbikes,

708
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 3: heavily armed is fark back. I thought we had them,

709
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 3: I thought so they people they wanted in, the cops,

710
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 3: the army, they all decide we're gonna catch these lawless

711
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 3: band It tweak have this happening again, because Elizabeth, do

712
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 3: you know about this Columbia and their long tradition of

713
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 3: hijacking and ransoming and the kidnappings yet, so they would

714
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 3: do a lot of kidnappings. I knew a couple of

715
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 3: Columbians who got kidnapp when they were teams and they

716
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 3: got their family had to ransom off, right.

717
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 2: So there are a lot of baseball stars, yes.

718
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 3: On the music stars and baseball stars. That's I need

719
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 3: musicians anyway. So the police the army, they're like, we

720
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 3: got to put a stamp to this. We we just

721
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 3: got the tourists back, dammit. So they're like, Okay, how

722
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,959
Speaker 3: are we gonna, like, you know, take this behavior seriously.

723
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 3: They're a coordinated task force. So they come in to

724
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: find this guy. They swoop in police, army, helicopters, the

725
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 3: whole bit, and they also shut down all the roads

726
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 3: into and out of the town. This is like some

727
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 3: room placing out. Nobody can get out. Everything's shut down.

728
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 3: Then they go up to do a street to street

729
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 3: search looking for the missing room. Finally someone comes forward.

730
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 3: They're like, I need to get to see my girlfriend

731
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 3: in the next town. He's not here, right, they they

732
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 3: they give him a tip. They're like, you can find

733
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 3: the missing groom. They tell him, right, where he's hiding.

734
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 3: They're like in the nearby town. My guess is, this

735
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 3: is one of his buddies from the bar, and I

736
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 3: couldn't go to the bar. Fine, so they go and

737
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 3: the police, they find him. They settle up the affair.

738
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 3: Now what did they do? They decide to keep the

739
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 3: fraudulent groom's identity a secret from the press because you know,

740
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: you know, why would they do that, Elizabeth, I don't know,

741
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 3: because this was not the groom's first time ditching a

742
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 3: bride at the altars second, and they were worried that

743
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 3: if they let his name out, the locals ald go

744
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 3: and they would find him, and they would do they

745
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: take justice into their own Yeah, and then I'm up.

746
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 3: Then they'd have a murder investigation to take care of

747
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 3: the We don't want that, so they you know, Gabriel

748
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 3: Garcia Marquez, I think he would be disappointed with his

749
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 3: fellow Colombian's lack of imagination because you know, we should

750
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 3: have let this one play out.

751
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, when he could have come up with a

752
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: much more fanciful explanation.

753
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 3: This is magical realism like that.

754
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 2: He was just blown away that he couldn't believe people

755
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 2: were looking for him like that, because that always seems

756
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,239
Speaker 2: to happen, and a lot like the worst is if

757
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 2: they're not looking for you. Like when I was like four,

758
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 2: I declared that I was running away from home, and

759
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: I made a little hobo bindle with two cans of

760
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 2: grape soda. Okay, on a hobby horse stick.

761
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 3: Off, I went, that was it? Just the grape soda?

762
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 2: Sure, that's all I needed a gallon some grape soda.

763
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: And I went and I sat under the back deck.

764
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 2: No one came looking for me. I was under there

765
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 2: for a really long two days. How long we ended it,

766
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 2: oh know, a couple hours. And then I like then

767
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,959
Speaker 2: I saw these eyes in the dark, and I got

768
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: freaked out and I ran out and it was our cat.

769
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, I had to declare myself return. I am

770
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 2: stop looking for me, everybody. I'm back back up.

771
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 3: From the newspaper. Oh thank goodness. Well, now that you're back, Elizabeth,

Speaker 3: and would be bride. Yeah, Tony and her partner were

779
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 3: looking to have a very extra special wedding day and

780
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 3: she deserved one. I'll tell you why. They had asked

781
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 3: her friends and family and social media followers to help

782
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 3: them enjoy their special day. They had a they had

783
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 3: to go fundme.

784
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 2: Yes, so tired of people with their hands out, but aside,

785
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 2: keep going.

786
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 3: Let me finish before you take that stick. To sweeten

787
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 3: their pitch, they let everybody know that the wedding was

788
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 3: Tony's dying wish.

789
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 2: I'm still I stick by it.

790
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 3: A terminal form of cancer.

791
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 2: Come on.

792
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 3: She even had the shaved head to prove it. Her

793
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 3: father had recently passed away from his own terminal cancer.

794
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 3: I like it. Hold on to hold You're like a

795
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 3: little bull rider over there. It came out before the

796
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 3: scheduled wedding was to come, the father died from his

797
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 3: own terminal cancer. This added more tragedy to their story

798
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 3: because he was able to record a message and then

799
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 3: have that play at the eventual wedding. Real heartbreaker.

800
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 2: I mean, here, let me just put this out there

801
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 2: please for the GoFundMe thing. I'm still hanging on other

802
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 2: people here.

803
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 3: We'll come back.

804
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 2: But if it's like, oh, you know, someone was in

805
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 2: an accident and they can't make their hospital bills, that's

806
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 2: one thing. But like when people are like, I want

807
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 2: a dream wedding, just go to the courthouse, for crying

808
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 2: out loud. If it's so important to get married to that,

809
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 2: you do not everyone gets to have the dream wedding

810
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 2: or yeah, or take your time and make more people

811
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 2: who are like I want a car. Okay, well we

812
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 2: all want a lot of things in life.

813
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 3: Really really coming down hard on this one.

814
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 2: I've just you know, I am going old farmer on this.

815
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 3: I understand. You know, if you were of the opinion

816
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 3: of those who are raised by those raised in the depression,

817
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 3: you're going to see things like money and string and

818
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 3: whatever use paper differently. Yes, No, it's the same time.

819
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 3: I think the culture has shifted enough that people don't

820
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 3: see it as their handout per se, but they think

821
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 3: of themselves as the giver rather than you know, like, oh,

822
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 3: this receiver asking. Because so many people are asking, I

823
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 3: think they've gotten used to that, so they go, when

824
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 3: do I want to give? I think that's when they focus.

825
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 2: Not enough people were raised by my grandparents.

826
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 3: That's what I'm catching. That's what I'm getting from this.

827
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 3: But anyway, the news, British news media, you know how

828
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 3: they are, right, So the tabloids, they grow aware of

829
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 3: Tony and her terminal cancer wedding request that go fund

830
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 3: me boom stories get written. Tabloids are like, oh, well,

831
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 3: we can wring out some tears and some clicks out

832
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 3: of this. Stories they grow bigger because there's more to it.

833
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 3: The dad dies, they're like, oh my goodness. People in

834
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 3: the UK learn about this. They donate to the go

835
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 3: fundme that's set up because remember, this is the special

836
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 3: day that the couple, the day they deserved in quotes

837
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 3: right now. This story gets so big in the UK

838
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 3: that the Premier League English football club Everton you must

839
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 3: if you know them. They're one of the most storied

840
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 3: and one of the longest active clubs in the league.

841
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, those clubs, they're top players. They make

842
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 3: a video for Tony's wedding wishing her luck. Yeah, they

843
00:36:58,200 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 3: tell her, we hope you and your fiance they have

844
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 3: a beautifull life together, however short it may be. No,

845
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 3: they left that part out, but anyway, that's for you.

846
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 3: I thought was for you, just dark for you. Cut anyway,

847
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 3: the big day comes because I can say that because

848
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 3: I know this story. Yeah, the day of the wedding,

849
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 3: Tony's father had passed away. As I told you, he'd

850
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 3: made a video and was played during the wedding. Tears

851
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 3: were rolling like snow melt rivers. The video from the

852
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 3: bride's father was a very emotional moment everyone, and there

853
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 3: wasn't a dry eye in the wedding, right except for

854
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 3: maybe the bride. Anyway, something strange happened. The guests know

855
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 3: that the bride began to make jokes like that doesn't

856
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 3: seem like the way to come off at Maybe her

857
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 3: dad was kind of a laugher. What everyone, She cracked

858
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 3: a few jokes that made the guest blush. They were like,

859
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 3: it was a little offhand, a little blue. Then she

860
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 3: launched into what was described as a faultless speech. So

861
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 3: apparently she had no emotional impact from her dead dad's message.

862
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 3: Right anyway. After the wedding concludes, the newly weds they

863
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 3: rushed back to their hotel and once there they dump

864
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 3: all their wedding cash on the bed and they laugh

865
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 3: about how well they made off. Right the next day

866
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 3: they set off to enjoy their honeymoon. They Joe jetting

867
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 3: off to Turkey and all the funds that they raised

868
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 3: and gofund me. A few months later, they also traveled

869
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 3: to Germany. Then they bounce out for another trip to

870
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 3: the Czech Republic, to Austria, Hungary, and finally a tour

871
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 3: of Italy. Wowd for a woman withternal cancer.

872
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, how many appointments did she missed? Exactly?

873
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 3: I'm imagining her doctors are very lenient. Anyway, it's really

874
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 3: able to leg it out. I'm impressed with the ol girl.

875
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 3: So she's a you know, like most people fighting for

876
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 3: their lives, they don't go on six nation tours. I'm

877
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 3: just saying. Anyway, My point is the reason for her

878
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 3: unusual stamina is that Tony Standon didn't have cancer.

879
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 2: I know it.

880
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 3: Can you believe it, Elizabeth, She did not have case.

881
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 3: She faked it all. She shaved her head, started posting

882
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 3: about cancer for like a year and a half or whatever,

883
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 3: started raking in the past, and the sterlingks so she

884
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 3: and her man can enjoy quote the day they deserve.

885
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 2: That is the worst mojo that she is. She is

886
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 2: a garbage person, Jesus.

887
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 3: Juice in the trash, at the garbage sitten.

888
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 2: She's the smelly juice in the bottom.

889
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 3: It comes to light when she returned to the UK

890
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 3: from her honeymoon from the side from the second trip,

891
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 3: and it didn't come out immediately right because at first

892
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 3: she had to go for another lie. She she caught

893
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 3: a new fake disease. COVID came around and you better

894
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 3: believe it. She fake caught it.

895
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 2: She faked COVID.

896
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 3: It was easy to go get exactly she faked it.

897
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 3: She get to a train station, she told her friends

898
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 3: that she had contracted the novel coronavirus. They're like, oh no,

899
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 3: but this didn't trigger sympathy for her friends because they're like,

900
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 3: I don't think she's telling the truth.

901
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 2: Wait, so at this point her friends knew that she

902
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 2: didn't have cancer.

903
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 3: No, they don't know. They still think she has cancer.

904
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 3: So they're worried about her friend but terminal cancer getting COVID.

905
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 3: They're like, she doesn't seem to be acting like, you

906
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 3: know the way you would if you had terminal cancer

907
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 3: and you got COVID. She's like telling and then she's

908
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 3: brunching the next day or whatever. Right, So they were like,

909
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 3: I don't believe this, right, So they begin to talk

910
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 3: amongst themselves. They start to compare notes. The friends are like, child,

911
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 3: when did you see her? I saw her out at

912
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 3: the pub la other night, right whatever. Anyway, they determined

913
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 3: she's a big old maya, so they arrange a group

914
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 3: phone call to see if they can get her to

915
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 3: say some stuff, you know. They confront her about her

916
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 3: cancer diagnosis or fake COVID. At first, of course, she's like, no, no, no,

917
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're talking about. Anyway. She eventually admits,

918
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 3: all right, you caught me. I don't, oh my girl,

919
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 3: and she comes clean. Her friends are horrified, exactly totally.

920
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 3: That's my favorite British accent, the fake American British accent.

921
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 3: It's the best. Everybody knows you're not doing a real

922
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 3: British accent. It's anyway, So this ultimate trial and so

923
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 3: they mollify their anger. She texts her friends and she's like,

924
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 3: I love you both. I'm thankful for everything over the

925
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 3: last couple of years. I'm fairly sorry for all this.

926
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 3: I'm em babbised out again and right now I'm struggling.

927
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 2: So then she became Jamie Tart.

928
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, she moved all around, she's she's got it. She

929
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 3: fakes a lot, Elizabeth. That didn't do anything for her friends.

930
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 3: And it wasn't just the fault of my accent her words,

931

Speaker 3: to the altar, but we'll call McGroom for now. Meet

964

Speaker 3: to save the date cards. Oh, she's spend a dollar

1000
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 3: Then the proverbial others. She dropped. Rather than just tell

1001
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 3: you about Elizabeth, I'd like you to close your eyes

1002
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 3: and picture.

1003
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 2: Yes, my eyes are clo.

1004
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 3: You are an orange Tabby houseket. Yes you belong to

1005
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 3: the sister of Alex Lancaster. You've never been particularly fond

1006
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 3: of Alex, but she's all right in your book anyway.

1007
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 3: While she's back home. You've warmed up her somewhat. At

1008
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 3: the moment, you're on the bed, hurring in a spot

1009
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 3: of afternoon light. Alex has been petting your soft belly fur,

1010
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 3: but she stops when her phone rings. You listen to

1011
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 3: her end of the call as you luxuriate in your

1012
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 3: son's spot, and you wonder if she'll soon return to

1013
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 3: petting you. You continue to purr. She does not return

1014
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 3: to petty. Instead, you hear Alex say hello, mister Blandford,

1015
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 3: how are you? You don't know this, but the call

1016
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 3: is from her fiance's father. You can't hear his side

1017
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 3: of the call, but if you could, you would hear

1018
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 3: mister Blandford tell Alex that his son had been feeling

1019
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 3: rather depressed lately. He'd been battling against intrusive, suicidal thoughts,

1020
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 3: and well he lost the fight. According to his father,

1021
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 3: her fiance had thrown himself in front of his speeding

1022
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 3: car and ended his life. Oh, you look up. When

1023
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 3: Alex gasp and shock, she begins to cry. You get

1024
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 3: up and curl in her lap. Maybe petting your ultra

1025
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 3: soft belly fur will help her with her tears. Yes,

1026
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 3: if not, at least it'll feel good for you. It's

1027
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 3: just pure cat lodge when so meanwhile, Alex is speed

1028
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 3: walking her way through the five stages of grief. She

1029
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 3: thanks the father for letting her know. She hangs up,

1030
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 3: but she doesn't move. She just stares forward that thousand

1031
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 3: yard stare. Then a moment later, she grabs her phone

1032
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,399
Speaker 3: and she calls back to the Lantford home. This time

1033
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,399
Speaker 3: the father does it. It's instead, it's the fiance's mother.

1034
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 3: You listen as Alex Lancaster speaks with a mom and

1035
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 3: only this phone call goes far differently. The mother doesn't

1036
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 3: stick to the same story, She just lets the truth fly.

1037
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 3: The mother of the would be groom. She says that

1038
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 3: her son isn't dead, he didn't kill himself, and that

1039
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 3: she's heard nothing about any wedding. In fact, she'd been

1040
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 3: told that her son and his English girlfriend had broken

1041
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 3: up and she'd returned home to the UK. You listen

1042
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 3: as Alex Lancaster's voice goes through a range of emotions

1043
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 3: on anger. Then she finds out the ugliest truth of

1044
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 3: them all. She hadn't spoken to the father at all. Instead,

1045
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 3: her fiance had faked his father's voice no and told

1046
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 3: her the tale of woe of his son's tragic suicide.

1047
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 3: The groom made up his own suicide to get out

1048
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 3: of the wedding.

1049
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, the dad is in for some bad,

1050
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 2: bad luck.

1051
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 3: Oh my god, right, Alex screams so loud and then

1052
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 3: throws the phone that you give up being petted and

1053
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 3: you flee the room. Yes, all right, Elizabeth. The UK tabloid,

1054
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 3: the Daily Mail, they got ahold of this story and

1055
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 3: they wrung it through. They tracked down the fake suicide

1056
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 3: groom in Connecticut and they asked him, what the hell

1057
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 3: are you thinking?

1058
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 2: Mate?

1059
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 3: And Blanford told The Daily Mail that Alex was a

1060
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 3: wonderful girl, but I just got scared and he wanted

1061
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 3: to get out of the wedding and he just didn't

1062
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 3: know how, so he faked his suicide. How to do it?

1063
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know how fake? There were no

1064
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 3: other options.

1065
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 2: Adult enough, you're not mad enough to get married.

1066
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 3: He's like, you know what, you can't marry dead guy

1067
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 3: if I'm dead. God, they faked his own death easy.

1068
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 3: So anyway, He also told The Daily Mail he did

1069
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 3: apologize to Alex. He sent her a text, Oh.

1070
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 2: That does that text?

1071
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 3: Must have been amazing. Oh my god, so this chicken

1072
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 3: heart he sent her money also to pay for his

1073
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 3: half of the wedding expenses, like the only half decent

1074
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,720
Speaker 3: thing he did. And anyway, Alex, he wasn't so forgiving

1075
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,919
Speaker 3: or kind about the man who she at one time

1076
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 3: was going to spend her the rest of her life with.

1077
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 3: When she was asked of what she thought of Blandford

1078
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 3: Alex Lancaster, she called her one time fiance, quote a

1079
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 3: gutless man. Yeah, that's like the calling someone a hollow man.

1080
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 3: It just really nails exactly.

1081
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 2: Not a serious person.

1082
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 3: Yes, I wholeheartedly agree. I mean I was like, dude,

1083
