1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: My coworker exploited church funds and then cheated on her husband.

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 2: I didn't read that one in the Bible.

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: So, as I have stated before, I have, for lack

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: of a better word, lived a very interesting life. Oh

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: the stories I can and will tell. For now, though,

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: I have to stick to the time I worked for

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,159
Speaker 1: a small Catholic newspaper, which is a weird thing to

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: do in your life, honestly for Catholics. Yeah, that is

9
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: a strange Not a lot of people probably do that.

10
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 3: What are you talking about?

11
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: It is, It's like a that's a very random, joint

12
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: niche job. By the way, this comes from user sayer

13
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: Song and if you want to submit your stories, you

14
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: can do it on the r slash okay storytime subreddit.

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: So now just a disclaimer, I myself am not Catholic,

16
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: but luckily at first that did not stop me from

17
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: being hired. This was both a blessing in that it

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: paid the bills and I got to do what I

19
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: loved as the sole graphic designer, and a curse in

20
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: that I worked with over the top people, including one

21
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: that kept trying to convert me, a woman who was

22
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: the epitome of being a Karen. Years before being a

23
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: Karen was even a thing and a man who was

24
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: a deacon who literally spearheaded a campaign with a subordinate

25
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: of his to gaslight me and then went on to

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: harass another female worker as well, along with stealing commissions

27
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: from yet another subordinate. This is a very ethically ran

28
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: Catholic newspaper.

29
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, you guys have too much trust in

30
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: these people. Just because you are a Catholic doesn't mean

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: you aren't still human that you aren't Wait, because you

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: are a Catholic doesn't mean you're not a human, because

33
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: humans are do crazy stuff all the time. Oh I,

34
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: oh right, exempt you out gotcha.

35
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: I was thinking more in the context of like they

36
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: were lizard people or something. So this story involves the

37
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: Karen whom we will be calling Rachel. Rachel had been

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: hired as a secretary and additional receptionist. We were a

39
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: small office of ten to twelve people max at any

40
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: given time. When she came on. She was married and

41
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: had a child like me. She was initially not Catholic,

42
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: but later became Catholic. Interesting. I mentioned this because it

43
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: is important in the grand scheme of things. See the

44
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: only reason she became Catholic, and she openly admitted this

45
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: to me and others in the office that were all

46
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: Catholic and had been for most of their lives. Is

47
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: because she found out that by her and her son

48
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: being Catholic, she could get the church to foot the

49
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: bill for her sending her son to a Catholic private

50
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: school instead of a public one. Oh my gosh, how

51
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: do we feel about that, Riley? Is that all in

52
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: the Lord's design? Dude? I mean free private school? Okay,

53
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's private Catholic school.

54
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's what's wrong with private Catholic school?

55
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 4: Huh?

56
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of things are wrong with private

57
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: Catholic school.

58
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a lot wrong with the Catholic school.

59
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: Did you go to private ethic school?

60
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 4: Really?

61
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: No, I'm not Catholic.

62
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: I mean I'm Southern. No, I'm not Catholic. Right after,

63
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: you were like, just if you're Catholic, does it mean

64
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: you're not human?

65
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: Yeah?

66
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: Sorry? Sorry, I'm not just sorry.

67
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 2: You just asked a guy from the South that's pretty

68
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: red neck of Catholic.

69
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 4: Are Catholic?

70
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: Next?

71
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 4: There probably are?

72
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: But sorry?

73
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: It didn't mean to sorry offend anyone or whatever. I

74
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: just thought you knew me better.

75
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: Hut.

76
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: This is kind of crazy finding a loophole to steal

77
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: from the church. I mean, is it are we supposed

78
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: to help the homeless it's in like the books.

79
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: I guess it stealing if it's in the books.

80
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, will if my husband and I are Catholic,

81
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: our son will be going to Catholic school. No, that's

82
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: not in but.

83
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: It's sort of like it's sort of like the same thing.

84
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: It's like, if me and my wife are married, we

85
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: get a sweet tax credit, Like if you're getting married.

86
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: Through the government, not through the Bible, right, that's what

87
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: I'm saying.

88
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: But it's if your reason for getting married is to

89
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: take advantag to the tax credit. Is that the same

90
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: thing as what's going on here with becoming Catholic to

91
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: get private school. It's just weird. She's just exploding.

92
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: It is funny.

93
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: It is a weird thing.

94
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 5: As someone who went to private Catholic school for majority

95
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 5: of his life, it's pretty messed up. Look at me,

96
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 5: like how it turned out.

97
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: I forget that that was a Catholic school. That's crazy, Okay, Anyway,

98
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: she did this because she wanted a private education for

99
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: her son, but didn't want to pay for it, so

100
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: she went through RCIA and had him go through RCIC

101
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: and the whole nine yards, and then told their church

102
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: that they couldn't afford to send him to Catholic school

103
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: and got the church to pay for it instead. Ooh,

104
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: so there's also some deception in line going on here. Okay,

105
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: never mind. So it wasn't it. It wasn't written in

106
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: the books. It was like it was like they're doing

107
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: a solid but they're like actively taking advantage of them.

108
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: So that's kind of lame.

109
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 2: I went to a church where they also had a

110
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: school and they did sponsor a lot kids that couldn't

111
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: afford it. I think the church that she's doing this too,

112
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: also has a setup like this, And you were denying

113
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: schooling and education from other kids because you don't want

114
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: to foot the bills. Yeah, that's pretty where. I'm like,

115
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: that's pretty whacked, dude.

116
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: Ah, yeah, you're going you're taking medable education now. So

117
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: Catholic churches will help parishioners that want to but can't

118
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: afford to send their kids to Catholic schools. They do

119
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: so by paying for the school themselves out of the

120
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: money that has been donated by other parishioners, so she

121
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: got what she wanted. This frustrated a fellow coworker when

122
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: she found out because she had been their sponsor and

123
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: thought Rachel had been sincere in her wish to be Catholic.

124
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: During this time, Rachel made it all but abundantly clear

125
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: that she only plays Catholic when she needs to so

126
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: as to get what she wants or needs, like that

127
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: money for the school, but has no intention of actually

128
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: living the life of a Catholic. Now, I had no

129
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: intention of living life as a Catholic either, so I

130
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: can understand that heart. But then again, I never had

131
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: any intention of becoming a Catholic, and they all knew this.

132
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: Whenever Rachel's son needed to buy books or get money

133
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: for extracurricular activities or lunch money or field trips, Rachel

134
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: would immediately go to her church's parish office, looking her

135
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: poorest and most vulnerable, and ask them to cover the amount,

136
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: and they always did, again pissing off our fellow co

137
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: worker who was a member of the same parish and

138
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: had sponsored them.

139
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: That is wild. That is so wild work in the

140
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 2: same office. This person's probably like giving an amount to

141
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: the church every month, and then this person is taking

142
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: that same amount giving to her son while laughing.

143
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: Oh dude, that's so. I don't know how I feel

144
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: about this. This is so I don't know. Son's still

145
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: getting private education's going to private school.

146
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: Okay, Son's getting bribaby exitcration. That's maybe really could even

147
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: if she couldn't afford it, Sure, that should be it.

148
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: But she's she's abusing this, she's abusing this.

149
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: She is. But the Catholic Church has never exploited anybody before.

150
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: I think this is different because this is a community.

151
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: This is a community. It is true. Yeah, you know,

152
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: you're exploiting an individual community and not like the Vatican itself. Yeah, exactly, exactly.

153
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like the optics might be like, yeah,

154
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: slam dunk on the Catholic Church, but really you're slam

155
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: dunking on like your neighbors. Yeah yeah, that's yeah. So

156
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: m yeah, scumbag of Lee, A little bit of scumbagginis.

157
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: But it's still for like her kids' school technically, So

158
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean she's just bad as that. She is using

159
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,679
Speaker 1: a label to get what she wants. It is truth.

160
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: It's so We all knew that Rachel's husband made a

161
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: decent living, but a parent, he either didn't know what

162
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: she was really doing or didn't care due to what

163
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: would happen a few years later. I am guessing that

164
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: he didn't know and thought that his money was paying

165
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: for the school and all the amenities. Because while their son,

166
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: who was a nice kid actually and so is the

167
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: husband the few times I met them, and he did

168
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: love his family, the son was getting all this paid

169
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: for by basically everyone else because of their quote poor status.

170
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: Rachel was getting tanned and pampered. Yeah, Rachel had started

171
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: spending almost all her lunches either going to a tanning salon,

172
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: getting two hundred to three hundred dollars manicures and pedicures,

173
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: getting some tattoos on her ankles and wrists, getting her

174
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: hair professionally done and kept up on a weekly basis,

175
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: and getting spa treatments at least once every two weeks. Basically,

176
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: all the money she spent on her own personal upkeep

177
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: would have been more than enough to cover her son's

178
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: schooling at the private Catholic school. Oh my gosh, dude,

179
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: Oh my good god, So I see exactly what's going

180
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: on here. I see, I see.

181
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it would be a completely different story if

182
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: she actually needed this money.

183
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: So what made all this even more ridiculous is that

184
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: this woman went to tan so often that at one

185
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: point she went past the normal orangeist, leathery look and

186
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: started looking gray. Dang, I didn't know that, I kid

187
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: you not. She had gray undertones to her tanning, not

188
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: fully gray, just enough of a gray undertone to make

189
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: several of us question if she was starting to turn

190
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: into a zombie or something. Dude, that's a wild that

191
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: you you tan so much that you'd turn into an alien,

192
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: Like you just start becoming like meatp I do think

193
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: my coworker tried to tell the church, but without proof

194
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: that Rachel was actively trying to scam them, and with

195
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: Rachel proving that she was poor due to bills quote

196
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: unquote and them wanting to give her the benefit of

197
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: the doubt, nothing ever came of it. It, of course,

198
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: then came as no surprise, at least to me, that

199
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: later she decided her husband no longer made enough money

200
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: and was no longer worth her time, and decided to

201
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: actively seek out an affair because she wanted something better

202
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: solidified before fully giving up her cash cow as it were.

203
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: Oh wow, but that is another story that I will

204
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: tell later. And we have an update.

205
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

206
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: Whoa This woman is literally the beneath trash. She's like

207
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: the congealed goo that forms at the bottom of the

208
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: trash can over time. She's a wolf wearing sheep's clothing.

209
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: I don't even think. I think a wolf is too

210
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: much credit. A wolf is too self sufficient. She's literally

211
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: leeching off of both her husband a leech, and the

212
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: Catholic Church a leech wearing sheep's clothing. She's just a

213
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: slimy leach at the bottom of a stinky pit from

214
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: the King Kong movie from two thousand and six.

215
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: That's that's kind of crazy. And as this is another

216
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: thing hopefully someone can do. But as brother and sisters

217
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: in Christ, they're supposed to call each other out on

218
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: their bs. I'm supposed no one's really called her out

219
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: on them. They did, they did, but there's no there.

220
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: They tried to go and call her out, but because

221
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: there was like no real evidence that it was fake

222
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: and that like they gave her the benefit of the doubt.

223
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: Like yeah, hmmm, I don't know.

224
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: I would, Yeah, I would be nothing ever came of it,

225
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: but I would continue to for sure. Yeah, let's get

226
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: into this update. Okay, update. So I have previously mentioned

227
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: my coworker Rachel, from when I was working at a

228
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: small Catholic newspaper, and how she had basically conned the

229
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: church into footing the bill for her son's education, something

230
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: she and her husband could afford to pay out of

231
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: their own pocket, while spending the money she had on herself.

232
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: I mentioned that I did not and do not believe

233
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: that he knew about this at the time, and here

234
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: is the reason for that. Oh boy, I feel the

235
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: need to once again reiterate the sheer entitlement of this woman.

236
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you could fill an entire mountain range with

237
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: her entitlement and audacity. You see, as time went on

238
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: and Rachel got more tanned, got her tattoos, which admittedly

239
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: were nice ones, got her expensive manny petties, and her

240
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: almost care and haircut, she also decided that her nice

241
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: husband was just no longer worthy of her. She began

242
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: complaining constantly about how he didn't make enough money, that

243
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: she felt she was now too good for him, and

244
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: how she had previously dated a local, well known business

245
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: owner that she was sure she could still have even

246
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: though that business owner was now married. Not necessarily a lie,

247
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: as everyone in the area knew this business owner had

248
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: a propensity for having extra maital affairs, which was sort

249
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: of an open secret. Okay, this is a gross.

250
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 2: This is gross as a receptionist of a Catholic newspaper

251
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 2: when you have like two cents and realizing and reading

252
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: the room that maybe you shouldn't be sharing these things

253
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: with your Catholic members who are also funding your child's education.

254
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: Whoa, yeah, who I think you can see.

255
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: What doesn't make sense is you exploiting the church but

256
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: also being dumb about it.

257
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 5: Listen as someone again who went to Catholic school, private

258
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 5: Catholic school, there's so much drama in it.

259
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 3: It's so dumb.

260
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 4: It is great.

261
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 2: I've been a part of it, Like churches. The drama

262
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: is crazy that that's that.

263
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 5: Crap is a soap opera, And I'm like, wow, this

264
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 5: is why.

265
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: This person feels like what this person just feels like

266
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: they couldn't not yap about their dastardly plans. Oh, no

267
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: matter what.

268
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 3: They get, they love for some reason. Yea love you.

269
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so she then started bragging that she could

270
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: have any guy she wanted, and would even mention that

271
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: she was going to go onto dating sites, which was

272
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: This was before Tinder and what's happened when you had

273
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: match dot com and e harmony?

274
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 3: Of course, just say WhatsApp is a dating site?

275
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: I guess is it?

276
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: I don't know what that s as you messaged people

277
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: through it kick.

278
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: Of course, she would stop the cheating talk whenever her

279
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: son was around. Since it was an individual building with

280
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: a small staff in a decent amount of space, we

281
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: weren't allowed to bring in our children if we needed to,

282
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: especially since everyone's children tended to be well behaved and

283
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: were old enough at this point to keep themselves busy,

284
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: and no one really took advantage of this. So her son,

285
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: who was a pre teen, would come by the office

286
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: after school on a lot of days and wait for

287
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: his dad to pick him up. During this time, however,

288
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: while she would stop with the cheating talk, she would

289
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: still make thinly veiled insults and derogatory comments about her

290
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: husband in front of their son, who would try to

291
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: ignore her, but you could see he was uncomfortable with it.

292
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: When her husband would come pick the son up. She

293
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: would always find something to criticize the poor man about.

294
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: He was a couple of minutes late, literally like two

295
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: to three minutes late once and she blew up at

296
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: him in front of everyone. He didn't pick up an

297
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: earlier call fast enough. He was supposed to grab something

298
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: from the store, but it was wrong. He wasn't dressed

299
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: nice enough. He was in casual clothes on a day off,

300
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: but it was still decent looking. He was dressed too

301
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: nice if he had just gotten off work. Not bright

302
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: enough or smart enough, et cetera. I mean literally, this

303
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: woman was doing everything in her power to emotionally wreck

304
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: this man, who was a very nice man. She even

305
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: stated that he was always treating her nicely, and it

306
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: irritated her because it made her feel like he wasn't

307
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: a real man because he remembers birthdays, anniversaries and got

308
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: her flowers or presents, et cetera. Meg Fellaws, we just

309
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: can't win out here. Oh my god, too nice. I'm

310
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: gonna add that to the list of IX. Too nice, breathing,

311
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: not real man, too nice, wear seatboat, oh looking too good,

312
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: not looking good enough, smelling nice? Ick joy dude, people,

313
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: I wish I had a guy in my life that

314
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: would treat me half as well as this and treated

315
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: Rachel this behavior would get worse all the time. At

316
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: one point, she got mad and spent the entire day

317
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: at the office ranting and raving uh because she tried

318
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: to make him jealous over a stranger and he didn't

319
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: attack the guy. That would be like common sense, by

320
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: the way her making him jealous was to gush over

321
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: the way the guy looked. Instead, her husband just seemed

322
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: defeated by her comments. At this point, she had eroded

323
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: away most of his confidence and he walked away. Now,

324
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: but yeah, can you imagine like systematically, like just degrading

325
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: and devaluing your husband to the point where he has

326
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: no confidence in himself And then you literally openly like

327
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: gush and flirt about another man in front of him,

328
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: and he goes, I guess that's just me again, probably

329
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: my fault. And then you go, why isn't he sticking

330
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: up for why is it now? Why didn't he attack

331
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: that man? Dude?

332
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: This woman's get a reality check soon.

333
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: First of all, what do you mean why didn't he

334
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: attack that? Do you want your men to just go

335
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: out here racking up felonies because of stuff. You're saying,

336
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: who do you want? A angry gorilla probably like, well,

337
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: who are you looking for?

338
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 2: Anyone but her husband?

339
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: I think so. I think she's just so. Her brain

340
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: has become rotten with entitlement.

341
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: My take, she got away with doing something kind of

342
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 2: like eow, and she's got addicted to it. She will

343
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: just see how many more things she can she can

344
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 2: like get away with, like ooh, I can get away with.

345
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 2: She's addicted to being a nasty lady. Yep, and no

346
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 2: one's telling her stop. No one's own her dang.

347
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: Yeah so oh. Now, by this point, she had really

348
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 1: started running their finances into the ground with all her

349
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: me me me pamperings and purchases, and he has finally

350
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: started to notice and get some of his shiny spine back.

351
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: He starts insisting that she cut back on spending. She

352
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: can't stand this, so she decides she needs a real

353
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: man who makes real money and will lavish her with

354
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: anything she wants at any given time. Enter a fair partner.

355
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna call him Alfredo.

356
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 2: She might, I mean, he might get a name soon.

357
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: I'm just ap just made me think, Alfredo, we.

358
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: Can do Oflfreido like Alfredo Antonio.

359
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: Pierce Antonio Piers. Uh, she finds the perfect Patsy if

360
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: you will, though I am still not sure who was

361
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: really conning or using who in this relationship on one

362
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: of her dating sites. Only problem is that he's from

363
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: Canada and we are Midwest USA. So start the long distance,

364
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: fully emotional affair. She would gush about him at the office,

365
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: print it out the photos of himself that he sent her,

366
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: and talk about how wonderfully attentive he was, how attractive

367
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: he was, and how quote rich and successful he was.

368
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: Please know this is important. Later I see you in

369
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: the freaking chat dude, and I really hope this is

370
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: what I think it is.

371
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 3: Did you see this conspiracy theory? I like this one

372
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 3: conspiracy theory.

373
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: She wants him to get mad get arrested for assault

374
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: and then she can claim he's abusive and clean him

375
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: out in the divorce.

376
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe that could be her devilish plans.

377
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

378
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 2: No, this guy's about to come in say, say all

379
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 2: the nice things he wants to say, and clean or clean,

380
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: get all the money out, make or move out, make

381
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 2: or move in with him, and they could take all

382
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 2: their money.

383
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: So now, I myself have been trying some online dating

384
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: and even in person matchmaking business around this time, so

385
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: I was already having enough issues with the messes I

386
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: had to clean up from the creeps I kept attracting,

387
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: some of which were downright frightening. So I will admit

388
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: that I was already jaded with the belief that there

389
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: were a lot of scammers and liars that would use

390
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: these venues to prey on easy target. Thus I was

391
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: probably more than a little biased for this next part.

392
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: Feel free to call me an a hole for it,

393
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: but I did not trust this man on any level.

394
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: It took her a while to even get the first

395
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: picture of him, and that first picture was almost a

396
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: glorified headshot like you see in a school yearbook, only

397
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: older like a teacher. Yeah. So, if it's not clear, guys,

398
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: this guy's about to scam her.

399
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: Yep, that is a scammer super hard in Vancouver, Canada.

400
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: It was apparently a very recent photo and he looked

401
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: very healthy in it. Again, this is important. Later she

402
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: said he was just getting out of a long marriage

403
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: himself and was going through a divorce, and so he

404
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: understood where she was coming from. In regards to her

405
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: own currently still ongoing yet unhappy marriage. After a few

406
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: months pass and many more picks of him looking fine

407
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: and dandy, I come into the office one morning to

408
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: see her standing by the copier in tears, utterly despondent

409
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: the reason he had given her some bad news. Apparently

410
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: he had been trying to out how to tell her

411
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: he had brain cancer in six months to live. Yeah.

412
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: Uh again, I am probably the ale here and definitely

413
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: jaded by the liars I have encountered and seen my

414
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: friends encounter because I had an X and two of

415
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: my three friends had x'es by this point, who had

416
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: all three at different points in time, pulled the I

417
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: have cancer card to either try to guilt us into

418
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: continuing to date them after we had broken up, or,

419
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: in one friend's case, as an excuse to break up

420
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: with her. That which is that you have three different friends,

421
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: have that happened to them? Yeah, it's insane.

422
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 2: They probably all got the same magazine of how to

423
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 2: break up with a girl or how to get a

424
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: girl to get back with you, and it all of

425
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: a sudden mentioned cancer.

426
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: Bro. You know what? That actually is probably true because

427
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: back then around this time, I'm guessing this is like

428
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: early two thousands, before like the advent of like meme culture,

429
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: and like the modern internet had like taken hold. So

430
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: it's like something like that like floats around and then

431
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: it becomes like the one thing everyone knows and uses.

432
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 2: Because this has happened today. Have you noticed whenever you're

433
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 2: waiting people say thank you for your patients rather than

434
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: sorry for making you wait?

435
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: Have you noticed that I have not.

436
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 2: You'll notice it whenever someone's like, you're waiting, like, thank

437
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: you for your patience, They're not gonna say sorry for

438
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 2: waiting anymore.

439
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: That's interesting. I think I think I can. I kind of,

440
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: I think I can. Yeah, I think I know your tales.

441
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: I realized that it's happened five times to me, and

442
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 2: I've realized that as well. And I come to the conclusion, oh,

443
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: you must have saw the same Instagram realized all, oh.

444
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, well what because it takes it. Oh no,

445
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: it's a compliment. Now they're a patient.

446
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 2: I have just complimenting them.

447
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: I am patient. Yeah, instead I mean like, yeah, I

448
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: did have to wait. I hate you, But.

449
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 2: Dude, this is crazy. How can she not know? I

450
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 2: guess catfishing didn't get its definition until like a few

451
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 2: years ago or whatever. What do you mean, Well, like

452
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 2: people didn't didn't know about catfishing, didn't think it.

453
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 3: Was everyone, that's what it was.

454
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: Literally a show on MTV in the two thousands called Catfish.

455
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 3: Sorry buddy, sorry, it's ahead of your time.

456
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: Well okay, but.

457
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 2: We didn't really probably not a common thing. I don't

458
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 2: think it was a common thing, so I was. I

459
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 2: wasn't very conscious in the two there.

460
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: It did become a bigger problem when the Internet became

461
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: a vehicle for for dating. Yeah, and then it became

462
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: very easy alive out your appearance and YadA, YadA, YadA.

463
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: So to get back to this, which, by the way,

464
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm in the camp that this person's lying about brain cancer. Okay,

465
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: there's no way this is real. This guy is scamming

466
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: this person and is going to ask for money soon.

467
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: Watch it. So Also, I've had previous co workers and

468
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: family with cancer, and when it gets that serious, they

469
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: did not look that healthy. I tried to tell her that,

470
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: but she refused to believe me. She said he wanted

471
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: to come see her soon so that they could consummate

472
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: their relationship. Quote before it was too late, so I

473
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: just shut up about it, but refuse to trust in this. Yes,

474
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: I was positive that sooner or later the other shoe

475
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: would drop. Anyways, she bought him tickets to come see her,

476
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: paid for a hotel for him to stay in. Now,

477
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: remember that this guy was supposed to be rich and successful,

478
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: but apparently all his money was tied up in his treatments,

479
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 1: his divorce and all this other stuff, and he couldn't

480
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: pay for anything. I began to see a bit of

481
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,959
Speaker 1: karma here. So he comes to visit, which did surprise

482
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: me and make me feel a little bit guilty about

483
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: thinking he may have been taking advantage of and scamming her,

484
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: especially as he did actually match the photos he had sent.

485
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: And she brought him to the office along with her son.

486
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: Whoa boy, How was no one saying anything.

487
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 3: Like her?

488
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: What?

489
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 4: Well? No, no, no, no no.

490
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 2: How was no one calling her out and firing her

491
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: from her job because she's a Catholic house That makes

492
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 2: no sense to me?

493
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: And bringing your your brain cancer affair partner to consummate

494
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: your affair with your son. Yeah, to your work, Yeah,

495
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: where everyone knows you.

496
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, dude.

497
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: They're gonna be like, are we paying for his Catholic

498
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: school too? Is this another one?

499
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 4: S bro?

500
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: So remember the coworker from the last post. She was

501
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: that was Rachel's sponsor to become Catholic. Well, she lit off.

502
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: She was the assistant editor to the paper and for

503
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: all intents and purposes, second in charge if you ignored

504
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: the actual diocese and focused solely on in office staff.

505
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: She reamed Rachel up one side and down the other

506
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: over this. She basically told Rachel that while she could

507
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: not tell Rachel not to have an affair, or what

508
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: to do or not do in her private life, she

509
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: could tell her that not only was it extremely inappropriate

510
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: to bring her alfredo to the office, but that as

511
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: a Catholic business that was family oriented, it would look

512
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: bad on the business as a whole. What if the

513
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: archbishop walked in while Rachel was flaunting her alpha ffredo

514
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: around the office. Nope, as long as Rachel was still married,

515
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: she was not to bring Alfredo to the office. When

516
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: Rachel tried to talk to our editor about it, who

517
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: was himself a rather lean back guy, he just reiterated

518
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: what our coworker had told Rachel before. No Alfredo in

519
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: the office. She was not happy, but he never came

520
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: by again. Anyway, The trip lasted a week or so,

521
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: and another few months of her flying him out on

522
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: her time and him needing assistance with this brand new

523
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: miracle treatment that cured him of his cancer. All heck

524
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 1: finally broke loose. So remember when I mentioned that her

525
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 1: husband had started asking her to limit her spending, Well,

526
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: it turns out that he had also started paying closer

527
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: attention to that spending, even more so after Alfredo had

528
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: started coming twice monthly weekend visits, and he was not

529
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: happy with what he discovered, namely that all the money

530
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: he had been giving her for their son's education was

531
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: not going to the school was still having the church

532
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: pay all of that, but that now she was spending

533
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: more on online dating sites and then to bring her

534
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: Alfredo from Canada once or twice a month for a

535
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 1: weekend at a time. I guess he must have wanted

536
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: to wait a while to get all his ducks in

537
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: a row, because he never actually confronted her about it.

538
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: What I do know that she got a bit worried

539
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: at one point that her husband was distancing himself from

540
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: her and seemed to have become very cold, but she

541
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: couldn't figure out why, because she honestly believed, yes, she

542
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: stated this that quote, he was too stupid to notice

543
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: her having an affair. Now the stupid is on the

544
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: other foot, isn't it.

545
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 2: Ah Wow, that's so crazy.

546
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: Ah. So one fine fall day it happened. I was

547
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: in the back in my office eating lunch while reading

548
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: the non Catholic paper. As the graphic designer. I had

549
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: a large room with three computers from my own workspace,

550
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: because it would become the space where we would put

551
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: the paper together, and when deadlines would loom, several people

552
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: might all be back there at once, So essentially I

553
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: have the largest office in the building all to myself

554
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: most of the time. When I heard a scream issued

555
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: from up front. When I say everyone came running out,

556
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: I do not jest. This scream had to have been

557
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: heard in India, and it wasn't frightened or sad. It

558
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: was indignant and angry. We rush out to see a

559
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: gentleman in a suit leaving the building and Rachel clutching

560
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: a batch of papers, read in the face and looking

561
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: like she's trying to strangle a rock for blood. She

562
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: had just been served divorce papers when she was having

563
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: none of it. But hey, you know what, you can

564
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: have all of it, by the way, all of it

565
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: at your fingertips is full episodes with stories like this

566
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: that you can listen to at your heart's content. All

567
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: you gotta do is go to your favorite podcast platform

568
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: like Spotify right there, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get

569
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: your podcasts from, and just search okay, story time and

570
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: go crazy, folks, go crazy, crazy woman.

571
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 2: I don't know how long did she think she could

572
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: keep up with this? And when is she going to

573
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 2: realize this guy's not rich?

574
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: Well, clearly she's an idiot. Not only does she think

575
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: her husband is too stupid to know that she's having

576
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: an affair, which clearly he was not, she's stupid enough

577
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: to fall for one of the most blatantly obvious scams ever. Yeah,

578
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: not only does he not have any money, he does

579
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: not have brain cancer and it was not miraculously cured

580
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: by a wonder drug that he now needs your help

581
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: to pay for. This woman is a great a Hey,

582
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: hey pal, you're just blowing from stupid town. Yeah, that's

583
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: what she is. She just blew. She was the mayor

584
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: of stupid town. Yeah, stupid town annexed itself and became

585
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: its own country, and she is the king of stupid town.

586
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 2: I just went to stupid town and didn't know how

587
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 2: famous she were there.

588
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: Yet everybody in a stupid town knows about Opie's done. Yeah,

589
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: my god. Yeah, So let this be a lesson. Sometimes

590
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: you get what you freaking deserve, you know what I mean.

591
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: So if you're out there up to no good, I'd

592
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: reconsider it. Yeah, anyway, let's finish this story. So somehow

593
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: she managed to convince herself that she would be the

594
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: one to serve them the divorce papers when she was ready,

595
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: and she had not been ready just yet because she

596
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: was waiting for her Alfredo to propose to her. He

597
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: actually did propose to her a while later, again making

598
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: me feel guilty for thinking he was this gamer, and

599
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: with her own list of demands, et cetera. So among

600
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: the divorce papers were proof of her affair, which Rachel

601
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: did not see that coming. Now, you would think that

602
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: this would be the end and that Rachel would be

603
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: happy to let her unworthy husband go so she could

604
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: be with her perfect Alfredo. But no, if that were

605
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: the case, then Rachel would not be nearly in the

606
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: entitled person that she was. She was not going to

607
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: go down without a fight. She was going to prove

608
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: that she was the real victim in all this, even

609
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: if it meant trying to commit fraud and trying to

610
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: convince me to give her forgery lessons. But that, dear ones,

611
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: is a story for another day. Is that it? And

612
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: that is the end of that story.

613
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 4: Here we are, folks.

614
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: So my entitled co worker asked me for forgery lessons.

615
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: Her name is Rachel, and her trilogy comes to an end.

616
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: Uh Okay. I have mentioned my entitled coworker, Rachel, from

617
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: my days working at a small Catholic newspaper before, but

618
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: for this and upcoming stories, I think it's time to

619
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: introduce the rest of the circus as it were. The

620
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: ones that were working there at this time are as follows,

621
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: and all names have been changed. People who work here

622
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: previous to this point and people who started after this

623
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: point will not be mentioned yet as they are not

624
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: relative to the story. The archbishop, our publisher, who did

625
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: not come to the newspaper office that often and really

626
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: doesn't feature in this story. But I wanted it to

627
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: be understood that yes, there are three people that are

628
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: editor answers to, as the newspaper is considered part of

629
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: the archdioces organizational structure, so they really are a part

630
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: of the Vatican who sanctioned by the archdiocey. So do

631
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: we feel as bad chat we still yeah, the money,

632
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: the money is coming from the community, so yeah, it's

633
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: still you're literally exploiting your neighbors and no one else,

634
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: which is you're literally just bypassing the Catholic churches exploitation

635
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: of your neighbors and you're just taking it direct. Yeah,

636
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: so you're kind of stealing from the church by stealing

637
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: from your neighbors, which is unhinged anyways. The other two

638
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: that the editor is also responsible for answering to are

639
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor, who worked directly below the

640
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: archbishop but don't have any official newspaper titles. And then

641
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: there's Tom Are mostly beloved, if a little dense at

642
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: times editor in chief who was suffering some serious on

643
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: and off health issues, which is important as it explains

644
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: why so many rotten things happened under his watch that

645
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: he had missed. Then there's Jane Are then assistant or

646
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: associate as titles changed at one point editor associate editor

647
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: who also sponsored Rachel during her RCIA and switched to Catholicism.

648
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: She was basically the one in charge at this time,

649
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: as Tom was off and out of the office due

650
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: to his health issues. And then there's Roger, a deacon

651
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: and a newly hired advertising executive who had not yet

652
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: settled into his toxic, misogynistic, manipulative, thieving, gas lighting ways.

653
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: Yet he was still getting a feel for how much

654
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: he could get away with, and Jane was still able

655
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: to provide a nice buffer between he and I at

656
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: this point. Then there's Lindsay, a writer slash photographer. Marcy,

657
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: a full time employee who split her work between part

658
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: time writer photographer as well as part time advertising associate

659
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: working under Roger and Rachel. The longtime receptionist secretary who

660
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: shared duties with Gina and was extremely entitled. She had

661
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: a soon to be ex husband, a son, and an

662
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: affair partner who we all know as Alfredo Alfredo. And

663
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: then there's Gina, another receptionist secretary who shared duties with

664
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: Rachel and had been working there for about a year

665
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: and a half to two years by this point, also

666
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: worth noting that she was newly engaged to her longtime

667
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: boyfriend m Then there's Kathy, our office manager, and yours truly,

668
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: me the graphic designer. There were others that would come

669
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: and go at this time, but they were usually either

670
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: people that were tempts to help during peak printing times,

671
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: freelancers that would help write or take photo, or our

672
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: it guy that would come in as needed. Basically none

673
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: of them worked in the office on a regular basis. Anyway,

674
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: I digress cool. When we last left off, Rachel had

675
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 1: been served divorce papers at the office and she was livid,

676
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: to say the least, and she spent the next several

677
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: days letting us know this. Every day as she tried

678
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: to get things organized, she was yelling and snapping and

679
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: throwing a fit at us, at customers, at advertisers, at

680
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: pretty much everyone. She even verbally accosted a few priests

681
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: and a nun to complain about her horrible husband and

682
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: ask how she could stop this. Since divorce is not

683
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: readily recognized in the Catholic Church and an annulment is

684
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: usually needed, Jane constantly had to tell her to cool.

685
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 2: It shoot and Jane, the person in charge, very bottom yes, okay.

686
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: At one point, she even started telling Gina that she

687
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: should just break up with her boyfriend and not get married,

688
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: as marriage was horrible, men were horrible and she wouldn't

689
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: be able to trust her husband and would just be

690
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 1: worthless like all the others. Mind you, she was still

691
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: singing the praises of Alfredo her a fair partner at

692
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: this point. Well, Jane finally had it, and the next

693
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: time Tom was in, who was the real man in

694
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: charge chief editor in chief, Jane went to him about

695
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: all of this because Rachel was actively trying to undermine

696
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: Gina's engagement and it was making Gina very uncomfortable. And

697
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: Gina didn't even talk about it all that much, but

698
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 1: even the sight of her engagement ring would set Rachel off.

699
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: Do has this place not heart about firing people? That's

700
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: my question? I don't think so. Is Rachel so good

701
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 1: at her secretary job that she cannot just be fired? Yeah?

702
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: What are we doing?

703
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 2: And she probably has buttered them up so much saying

704
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 2: I'm so poor, I have no money, Mike, what will

705
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 2: happen to my kid?

706
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: Get fired?

707
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 4: Nerd?

708
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't care. You're bringing your fair partner to work

709
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: and telling people to break off their engagement.

710
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, like there's no moral check. That's what baffles me

711
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 2: about the whole situations.

712
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: Just selfish butthole anyway, So Tom called Rachel into his

713
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 1: office and basically told her that she had two choices.

714
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: She could stop snapping at everyone and stop trying to

715
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: convince Gina that marriage was bad, or she could just

716
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: quit now because if she didn't stop those two things,

717
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 1: she would be fired. There we go, all right, backbone Now,

718
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: She was smart enough to know that while Jane did

719
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 1: not have the authority to fire her, Tom did and would,

720
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: so she stopped snapping so much and stopped deriding marriage

721
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: in front of Gina. You'd think it would all be

722
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: good at that point, right, we would finally get a

723
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: break from all the drama. Correct. Nope, get your popcorn out, folks,

724
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: because it was about to hit the fan. Rachel had

725
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: decided to take all her pent up anger and frustration

726
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 1: and laser focus them onto one goal, and one goal only.

727
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: She wanted sweet, juicy revenge. So she just yeah, I

728
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: mean revenge would She does not have any right to

729
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: at all because she is the stinker what.

730
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 2: She just loves evil and she feeds off of it,

731
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 2: and these nice, good people are giving her a place

732
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 2: to do that. That's like, why are you also evil?

733
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,280
Speaker 1: You'd think people of the Catholic Church would be quicker

734
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: to find that she's a little demon. In fact, not

735
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: a little demon, she's a big, stinky, ripe demon, a

736
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: ripe stinking demon. I'd smell her from three miles away. Goodness,

737
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: gracious you what's that?

738
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 3: Oh it's just sorry, that was me.

739
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: Oh no, okay, So she decided to put all, and

740
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: I mean all of her energy into making her soon

741
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: to X the most miserable man on earth, though I

742
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: am pretty sure by this point she had already previously

743
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: succeeded now soon to be X, not being nearly as

744
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: stupid as Rachel thought, did stay in the house, and

745
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: Rachel was the one forced out, so she went to

746
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: stay at a hotel. I believe it was one of

747
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 1: those where you could basically rent it like an apartment

748
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: for a week at a time, no lease required, and

749
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: a kitchenette included. And they also split custody of their

750
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: son fifty to fifty during this time. Oh man, the children, no,

751
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: not the children, Oh God, so sorry that the kid

752
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:34,439
Speaker 1: has to have this.

753
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 2: Ziz the kids, like going to school, getting your aids.

754
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: So her being without her house, her access to his

755
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: money as he had cut her off from his paycheck

756
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: with the exception of a small bit for child support

757
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: even though he was not required to yet, and having

758
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: to use her own money to buy things all just

759
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: added fuel to the fire of her wanting to get

760
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: back at soon to be X. Yeah, that's that makes

761
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: sense instead of Oh, a perfect time to focus on

762
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: ourselves and grow and change. No, actually, I'm gonna channel

763
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: all of my energy into revenge, revenge which I do

764
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: not deserve.

765
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 2: I am baffled by this woman and how her brain

766
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 2: is wired.

767
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: Her behavior tracks so far, her brain is wired by

768
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 1: like a team of blind chimpanzees. Yeah, just a loud,

769
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: angry mess and the fact that people are giving her

770
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: resources to keep continuing to do this.

771
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 2: It needs to stop and like fire her, get her

772
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 2: out of there, kick her out of your house, don't

773
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 2: give custody of your kid.

774
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: What. Well, it's fifty to fifty for now, but still she.

775
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: Shouldn't have anything to do with them.

776
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: I would assume that it's probably going to get less.

777
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: I don't think they haven't done anything through the courts.

778
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: Yet it's all at the beginning. It's the beginning stages.

779
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: So anyways, though it was not initially much of a

780
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: revenge plan, as it basically consisted of her trying to

781
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: take him for everything he owned under the guise of

782
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: deserving both alimony and child support, and was positive she

783
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: could get full custody and the house. She decided that

784
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: while tanning and constant haircuts and dye jobs were a

785
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: continued must, she would forego the weekly manny petties and

786
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: twice monthly spa treatments. Instead, she started looking for lawyers

787
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: any that would explain to her that she was highly

788
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: unlikely to get alimony under the circumstances, as she had

789
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: been employed for several years, was not a stay at

790
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: home mom, and had a good enough skill set in

791
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 1: work history to remain employed or get a new job.

792
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: She would dismiss from consideration almost immediately she was going

793
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: to get her alimony. She did eventually settle on a

794
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: lawyer who was willing to do what she asked and

795
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: tried to bilk him for everything. I don't know what

796
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: that word means, look it up. So with that done,

797
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: milk bilk, I'm not sure is bilk like milk uh

798
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 1: bilk is to cheat out of something valuable, to cheat

799
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: to bilk him for everything. So with that done, she

800
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 1: started gathering all financial records, all past bank accounts, all

801
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: information she could get, and she started bringing all of

802
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: this paperwork to the office and anytime the phones weren't

803
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: ringing or she didn't have specific jobs that she had

804
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: to do, she would instead pour over all this information.

805
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: And that was when it happened. We were on the

806
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 1: second day of deadline our newspaper. Deadlines lasted three days,

807
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: and I had just finished pasting in ads to some

808
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: of the pages. We had not yet fully gone electronic

809
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 1: for our printing, so some ads needed to be pasted

810
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: into hard copy. Now, Jane, who would sit in the

811
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: back with me when I would lay out pages, so

812
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: I knew what stories needed to go on what pages,

813
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: had gone back to her desk, so I was back

814
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: there by myself. Rachel came up to me in a

815
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: bit of a rush, waited for me to turn to her,

816
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,879
Speaker 1: and shoved the two papers in my face and asked, oh,

817
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: p do these two signators look the same. I stepped back,

818
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: completely confused, and looked at the two papers I noticed

819
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: that one was an official looking document with soon to

820
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: be ex signature at the bottom, and the other was

821
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: a plain piece of copy paper where soon to be

822
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: Ex's signature had been written about three to four times.

823
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: After a moment, I realized though, that it was not

824
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: soon to be Ex's signature, but attempts at soon to

825
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: be Ex's signature not the worst attempt I had ever

826
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: seen that someone trying to copy another person's signature, but

827
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: definitely not passable either. I looked at Rachel and asked,

828
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: did you try to mimic his signature? She nodded, and

829
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: I told her you failed. Anyone with any training is

830
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 1: gonna know they aren't the same, all right, which is

831
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: not what you should have said. You should have gone,

832
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 1: it looks identical, go ahead and use that on any document.

833
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:43,240
Speaker 4: Go for it.

834
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 2: It looks fantastic.

835
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, well this is perfect.

836
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,320
Speaker 2: You should have my job as a graphic designer.

837
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: That is beautiful, which I'm really hoping we have the time.

838
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,439
Speaker 1: I hope that she freaking does this at some point.

839
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: Let's go. So then Rachel again asks, but do you

840
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,720
Speaker 1: think it's close enough to pass for someone who hasn't trained,

841
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,439
Speaker 1: And at this point, I was starting to feel very

842
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: uncomfortable with this line of questioning, so I told her

843
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: that I did not think it would pass Mustard with

844
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: anyone who was even slightly familiar with his signature. A

845
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: bit of a lie there, because I thought some people

846
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: not paying attention might fall for it. But I didn't

847
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: want to be roped into whatever scheme she was planning.

848
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: That's probably safest thing to do. Yeah, honestly, yes, but like,

849
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: come on, dude, you gotta inform. Someone needs to be informed.

850
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: Now that she's got a plan to fake signatures, let's

851
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: call the police. Yeah, forgery is not something I was

852
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: willing to get involved with on any level. I like

853
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: my freedom and do not want to go to jail

854
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: for any reason. That was when she asked if I

855
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: could teach her how to get his signature down. By

856
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: this point, alarm bells weren't just ringing in my head,

857
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 1: they were playing the complete eighteen twelve overture canons and all.

858
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: So I asked her what this was all about, and

859
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: that is when she told me she had been getting

860
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: some of soon to be Ex's male and among them

861
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: was a bank statement from a bank that soon to

862
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: be X had not used for years. It turned out

863
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: that he had an account there back when he was

864
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: in college before they married, that he had let go

865
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: into stagnation when they did get married because they had

866
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 1: combined finances and opened up a joint account and another bank.

867
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: Apparently at the time, he had less than a dollar

868
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: in the account and figured they would just automatically close

869
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: it after us at time so he wouldn't have to

870
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: worry about it, which for that time period was normal

871
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: for accounts under a certain amount. What neither of them

872
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: knew was that after he had stopped paying attention, the

873
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: school had apparently found a payment error and refunded him

874
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: a few thousand dollars, not much, but enough that when

875
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: years later, after having a lawyer going over everything in

876
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 1: search of anything she could use, Rachel had found out

877
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: about this long forgotten account, and she had called the bank.

878
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: Since she was still his wife, legally, she gave them

879
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 1: his name with her address so that she could get

880
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: a statement as to what was still in the account.

881
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: Her plan was to perfect his signature and send in

882
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: the paperwork for them to send her a check or

883
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: transfer it into her new single bank account. So that's

884
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:22,240
Speaker 1: by the way, super freaking illegal on several different levels.

885
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 2: And why is she explaining this to you?

886
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: Oh wait, no, it's it's maybe less illegal because they're

887
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: still technically legally married, but still wrong, still not wrong,

888
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: still not right, and I'm still sure pretty much this

889
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: is still fraud yeah, and ongoing divorce, Like not only

890
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: is you oh my god, this guy? Oh Rachel, you

891
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: sweet stupid idiot.

892
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 2: How does this guy not know about this? What? What?

893
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: Ah? Yeah? Where's the bank? Dude? Banks? Hello, call me bank? Hi,

894
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: that was my account?

895
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 3: Call me?

896
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: So I tried to explain to Rachel that I did

897
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: not think would work and why one he would sooner

898
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: or later figure it out. She was insistent that he wouldn't,

899
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 1: and because he had forgotten he even had this account,

900
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: let let alone knowing it had any money in it,

901
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: that they would want to talk to him or see

902
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: him in person, and she said she could just have

903
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: Alfredo poses him over the phone, as she had soon

904
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 1: to be exi's social Security number and other info that

905
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: she could have Alfredo give them, and that it wouldn't

906
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: be able to be in person anyway, because it was

907
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: in a completely different state, half a continent away. She

908
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: was positive there was no way she could get caught,

909
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: but she really really needed me as an artist to

910
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 1: show her how to forge his signa signature properly.

911
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 2: Okay, wt F TAMA. At this point, ultimatum, Rachel, you

912
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 2: better burn this idea and your idea freaking notebook in

913
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 2: the dumpster, or I'm telling your husband, your ex husband,

914
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 2: what is happening. You have to form You can't be

915
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 2: a bystander than this. You have to let him know.

916
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 1: No. Yeah, but okay, good, I agree. I thought you're

917
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: gonna be like. The thing I disagree with is that

918
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: you tell me giving her the option. God, I wouldn't

919
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: even give her the option. I'd be like, yeah, I

920
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: don't know. That sounds like the worst idea I've ever heard,

921
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't even try to do it. And then

922
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 1: I would immediately be like, beep boop pop, Hello, Rachel's

923
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: husband or soon to be ex husband. Yeah, guess who's

924
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: trying to do a fraud on you? I bet you're

925
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 1: gonna know? Yeah, oh absolutely, so yeah, I tell him immediately,

926
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: and I'd let her again. Think she's a freaking super

927
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: genius or whatever she thinks. I'm the most delusional person ever.

928
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: So yes, I probably could have technically shown her and

929
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: or done it if I had wanted to. But no,

930
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: as I said before, I don't like the idea of

931
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: being in jail. I don't want to risk that. My

932
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: sister once told someone that if she was going to

933
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 1: go to jail, be for a payout of millions, and

934
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: even that would still not be enough. I mean, if

935
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna give me millions, maybe I'll go to jail.

936
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 2: I go to jail for millions for thirty days.

937
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 3: I don't think it works like that, but you know.

938
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: Well it better or I'm not going to jail. We

939
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: should dig more into that, how much. Anyway, let's keep

940
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: going there. You go, good job, I met later. We'll

941
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: dig into that later.

942
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 3: Proud of you.

943
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: I feel the same way, especially since I was a

944
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: single mom of a six year old kid myself at

945
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 1: that time, who was helping care for her disabled parents.

946
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: So I simply told her no, that I could not

947
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 1: and would not help her. Now Jane had come back

948
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: by this point, as Rachel had taken the no and

949
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 1: somberly gone back up front, mumbling about doing it herself

950
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: and trying to figure out how to get the money.

951
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: Jane looked at me and asked what that was about,

952
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: and I told her. She looked at me as though

953
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: my head had just flown off. She was like, wait, wait, wait,

954
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: wait wait, she asked you to commit a crime. I said, well,

955
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: technically she asked me to bet a crime she would

956
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 1: be committing. Gotta love opving technically sound here. She said,

957
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 1: actually she asked me to a bet a crime and

958
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:26,720
Speaker 1: I'd said no, Colly, dude, dang oh my. So Jane

959
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 1: was not happy for several reasons. She said that this

960
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: was beyond unacceptable and would talk to her. I told

961
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: her that it was unnecessary, as I had already told

962
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: Rachel no, and that she would most likely get caught anyway,

963
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: but Jane insisted that she shouldn't have even asked me

964
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: in the first place. So she did talk to Rachel,

965
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: and while Rachel didn't actually apologize, she didn't get angry

966
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: at me. She did come back through to complain about

967
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: how Jane had apparently overheard our conversation and yelled at

968
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,280
Speaker 1: her for that, saying she was not to ask people

969
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: to take part in legal activities for her divorce. Ever. Again,

970
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: thank you Jane for not ratting me out. Also again,

971
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: why is this person not being fired? Where what are

972
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: we doing?

973
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 2: Just letting this?

974
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: What are we doing?

975
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 2: Do you just like to tease so much? You want

976
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 2: to keep her around?

977
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: Is out? What this is? I feel like that's the

978
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:25,760
Speaker 1: plan here. She's recruiting coworkers for a criminal conspiracy. Fire her,

979
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:32,760
Speaker 1: get gone, be gone out out, We're done. So. Jane

980
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,720
Speaker 1: admitted later that since Rachel hated her by this point anyways,

981
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: she saw no reason to cause more drama with the truth,

982
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: so she told Rachel she had heard the entire conversation

983
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: from the hallway, taking the full brunt of Rachel's anger.

984
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: Rachel never did ask me about forgery again, though, and

985
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 1: while I do not know whether she got that money

986
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,800
Speaker 1: or not, it was never mentioned after that. She continued

987
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 1: on with insisting on getting what she wanted, and that

988
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: was bleeding soon to be x dry spoiler alert. She didn't.

989
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: She did get some small amount of child support, but

990
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: that was only because she got sixty to forty custody.

991
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: I think, which that's insane. How is she swinging forty

992
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 1: percent custody? I've no idea what and let that be

993
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:21,280
Speaker 1: just a little evidence. Man, the courts do not always

994
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: treat people equally. Yeah, that's crazy that she's able to

995
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: make an argument on paper that she deserves any custody

996
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: for this kid.

997
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, or money, but no alimony.

998
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 1: She also did not get the house or all the

999
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: other things she thought she was owed. She did eventually

1000
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 1: get engaged to Alfredo, who was now allowed back at

1001
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,439
Speaker 1: the office during his visits. Should he be visiting during

1002
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 1: that week, but only to pick her up or drop

1003
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 1: her off, and he showed up with a large, shiny

1004
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,800
Speaker 1: engagement ring. No, I don't have proof that he paid

1005
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: for it or that it was real, so there was

1006
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 1: still some possibility of scamming, since she was not divorced

1007
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: yet at the time the engagement occurred. But by this

1008
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: time Rachel's time at the paper was starting to run

1009
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: its course. She was burning bridges, as it were, and

1010
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: when she went to leave the office one day, she

1011
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 1: did not pay attention to where she was backing up

1012
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: and backed into Gina's fiance's car, which Gina had borrowed.

1013
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: She came running in, demanding that Gina and her fiance

1014
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: pay for the damages to her car or she would sue.

1015
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,280
Speaker 1: It's worth noting here, by the way, that Gina's fiance

1016
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,760
Speaker 1: was a lawyer. And it was shortly after this incident

1017
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: that Rachel's time at the paper ended because no one

1018
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: was willing to put up with her entitled nonsense anymore.

1019
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: Think can you go actually imagine we're it like running

1020
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: into someone else's car and then being like you, your

1021
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: car was parked outside, you need to pay me being.

1022
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 2: A freaking lawyer. Can you imagine working with someone like

1023
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 2: this outside of a Christian workplace and having her do

1024
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 2: all this crazy stuff? If we ever worked with anyone

1025
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 2: like this, they would not really, they'd be gone immediately.

1026
00:53:58,040 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 4: They would be gone after.

1027
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: Like the first dured, like the second second. Sometimes people

1028
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 1: could they get it with a second chance? Right, Yeah,

1029
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: we give second chances for a second chance. Not we're

1030
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: nice unlimited second chances what so? So that's that. No,

1031
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: I do not know what happened to her after this.

1032
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: Facebook was not a thing yet, or if it was,

1033
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 1: it was still college students only, and she did not

1034
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: keep in touch with any of us. In fact, she

1035
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 1: was cussing up a storm as she left, most of

1036
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: it directed at Tom, Jane and Kathy, I think some

1037
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 1: at Gina and Roger. And thus ended the saga of

1038
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: Rachel and started a whole other saga of an ongoing

1039
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: fight between Tom and Jane, and eventually led to Roger's

1040
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: decision that it was perfectly fine to gaslight me because

1041
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: I was apparently too good at my job. But those

1042
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: are stories for another day. Dang, you keep on leaving

1043
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: us with the cliffhanger, and there's an edit to add here.

1044
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:55,720
Speaker 4: Wow.

1045
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 1: So some people suggested that I should google Rachel and

1046
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: see if she's married or still Mary to Alfredo, the

1047
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: affair partner. So I looked up some old issues of

1048
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: the Catholic Paper. I couldn't remember her last name offhand,

1049
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,479
Speaker 1: and I had forgotten that she had managed to marry

1050
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: him before she was fired, But she had his last

1051
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 1: name during her last bit of time there. Okay, So

1052
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: I looked up her name with the newly married name,

1053
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 1: and oh, my god, I wish I had not Oh no, oh,

1054
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 1: I can't wait.

1055
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 2: To hear this Alfredo's ago.

1056
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 1: Here is the most concise update I can give to

1057
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: what happened after she was fired. She still has Alfredo's

1058
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: last name and is still using it as of four

1059
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 1: years ago, the most recent info I could find on

1060
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 1: short notice. Don't know if they are actually still married.

1061
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 1: Or not. But I can say that four years ago

1062
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 1: there was a road rage incident of which I am

1063
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: loathed to put details here as this is considered a crime.

1064
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: Let us say that she was fine, but others were

1065
00:55:56,640 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 1: not so lucky, and her life has definitely gone down hill. Dang, No,

1066
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:08,399
Speaker 1: she said road rage. I think jail. I think to jail,

1067
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: Fred Armison, jail, Happy night to jail, happiness jail. Yeah,

1068
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: I think she got and her massive entitlement started showing.

1069
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 1: She probably ended up ended up in some kind of

1070
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:26,720
Speaker 1: physical altercation with somebody. What happened to the kid to jail?

1071
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 2: Or we should have saw that the way she responded

1072
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 2: to Jimma's fiance's car debuckle.

1073
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes people need to go to jail, and she sounds

1074
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 1: like she needed to.

1075
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 2: Go to jail and she did.

1076
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: Holy Society praise a menace, a true masts.

1077
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 2: I'm just baffled at this newspaper. No wonder they saw

1078
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 2: because it seemed like Opie was not a fan of

1079
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 2: them the way they treated her, but the way they

1080
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 2: just let this bs happen and then treated her bad.

1081
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, where was the any any executive authority there at

1082
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 1: the newspaper? Like nobody any critical things. Nobody was able

1083
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: to make the call to let Rachel go. Maybe just

1084
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe just a little bit earlier. Maybe

1085
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 1: just a little earlier than like letting her commit like

1086
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: criminal conspiracy in the workplace. Maybe let her go as

1087
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: soon as she's bringing her Canadian affair partner into the

1088
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: office with her, with her kiddy fire her immediately after that.

1089
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I have no chance of coming back.

1090
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 2: I would be firing her whenever I see her nails

1091
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 2: done and makeup done all the time, like if her

1092
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 2: hair is being pampered every single Oh my god. Sorry, sorry, no,

1093
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 2: I forgot about the context of that, which is because

1094
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 2: I was just like, you'd fire her for doing her

1095
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 2: maid No, but it's with the context of her taking

1096
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,919
Speaker 2: money from the church and from the parishioners and saying

1097
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 2: that she can't afford school or can't afford any of

1098
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,919
Speaker 2: the other stuff. Of course, as soon as it became

1099
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 2: clear she was literally lying to steal money from the

1100
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 2: organization that the paper belongs to. Yah, I think it's

1101
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 2: that's grounds to probably fire. I think so baffled, baffled.

1102
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:16,120

Speaker 6: it was me or understood where I was coming from.

1135
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,919
Speaker 4: It's like she doesn't understand anything anymore. She keeps saying

1136
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 4: who are you? She keeps calling me Claire, which isn't

1137
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 4: really I've been dead for twenty five years. Oh my god.

1138
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 4: She would always be moody and stuff, moody grandma. But

1139
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 4: I didn't seem to be bothered by it. I always

1140
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 4: seem to speaking of a Reddit post about how much

1141
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 4: I've not bothered by it at all. It's just an

1142
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 4: intrusive thought.

1143
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 6: I always seem to ignore it and just think it's

1144
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 6: something in my head. She would always love me.

1145
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 4: That's probably true. Your grandma probably lost you.

1146
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 6: Maybe onto the backstory two months ago, I would say,

1147
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 6: less than two months ago.

1148
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 4: I said two months ago that question. I turned seventeen.

1149
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 6: My mother begged me to spend time with my grandma

1150
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 6: on my birthday, which I did not want to do.

1151
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 4: Ew Oh, Grandma, I want to be seventeen again. I

1152
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 4: saw my grandma and she gave me the dick ew all.

1153
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 6: I want to spend my weekend how I want to

1154
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 6: spend it with a friend because my birthday was on

1155
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 6: the weekend and I had school the next day. Yeah,

1156
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 6: with all her nagging, I finally decided to go to

1157
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 6: my grandmother's house. Anyways, worst mistake I ever made.

1158
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 4: She's like, oh, it's your birthday. Here's a Shannon niggle

1159
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 4: to mass some.

1160
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 6: Jacks, Like this is the worst decision I've ever made.

Speaker 4: Grandma gave me a Rolex doesn't even have a computer screen.

01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:39,760

01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 4: get a a tech. I was saying that jokingly. You

1181
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 4: were sitting here thinking she literally got like a million

1182
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 4: dollars I wanted I was. I was adding in my

1183
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 4: own uh wow, fictitious ad libation. Okay, ad libation. That

1184
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 4: was just a word I made up for you, guys.

1185
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 4: I love you so much. Libation. I was going to

1186
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 4: be like, wait, does ad lib stand for ad libation?

1187
01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 4: Maybe it is short for something, but I'm sure it's

1188
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 4: not ad libation. What does ad libs stand for? Abbreviation

1189
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 4: of ad libatum ad libitatam I like and I don't

1190
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 4: want to be in the car for much longer because

1191
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 4: I get car sick.

1192
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 6: But again my mother still was nagging me to do it.

1193
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 6: And the worst part about this is that I have

1194
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 6: just gotten on my period. That does suck own. So

1195
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 6: after being in the car for much longer than I anticipated,

1196
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 6: I started crying, saying that I didn't feel well. Then

1197
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 6: after my grandma came back, my mom told her my

1198
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 6: grandma was mad at me the whole day, all about Grandma,

1199
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 6: how I betrayed her, and that I am no longer

1200
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 6: her grandchild.

1201
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 4: That seemed a bit mud. That is a massive overreaction, Jesus.

1202
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 4: And what was the reason that she said you're not

1203
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 4: my grandchild? Because she didn't like the watch? Because no,

1204
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 4: because she was complaining.

1205
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 6: Basically the whole day, she like goes around with her

1206
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 6: grandmother in this car, she gets car sick, she's on

1207
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 6: her period, like all of these things are are adding up,

1208
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 6: and then she's like, I don't want Yeah, you're dead

1209
01:03:57,320 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 6: to me.

1210
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:01,960
Speaker 4: Yeah basically, but actually it's the reverse.

1211
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,240
Speaker 6: The grandma is like you're dead to me after like, oh,

1212
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 6: you're like not enjoying this whole day.

1213
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 4: You're dead to me. Yeah, you have to enjoy every

1214
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 4: second thing. You want to not be carsick on your

1215
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 4: birthday and hang out with your friends. No, it just

1216
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 4: stands by time and on Grandma time. You're not having

1217
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 4: a good tach. Just stop being carsick. It's so simple.

1218
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 4: Just stop it. Tell your body no, stop being on

1219
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 4: your period. Come on, turn it off. Turn it off. Obviously,

1220
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 4: like a light switch is real. Click. It's at Mormon trick.

1221
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 6: I was about to say that sounded like a light commercial,

1222
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,880
Speaker 6: but it's the Book of Mormon. The reason why we

1223
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 6: went out originally was because I had my Apple Watch

1224
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 6: and it was to find her something that she was missing,

1225
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 6: so they have it. I was so confused and I

1226
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 6: was crying. I didn't understand why my grandma was so mad.

1227
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 6: Then they told me that she was missing something, so

1228
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 6: we went to the store to find it. I didn't

1229
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 6: listen to the conversation because I had air pods on.

1230
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 6: Is this an Apple commercial?

1231
01:04:56,920 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 4: Yeah? This is literally like I had Apple watched the

1232
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 4: Apple Store and I had my AirPods on, and then

1233
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 4: my grandma sent me an air drop. I'm like you, Grandma,

1234
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 4: aren't you gonna go on iCloud and send me an email?

1235
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 4: I don't want to use fine my iPhone for you.

1236
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 4: I want to save it for me. Most integrated Apple

1237
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 4: family ever.

1238
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 6: Seriously, the whole day of my birthday, she did not

1239
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 6: want to spend time with me or even come to

1240
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 6: an understanding with me, which I felt heartbroken over and

1241
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 6: can never forgive her for. She didn't outright apologize, never

1242
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 6: forgive I mean she did say that she wasn't.

1243
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,960
Speaker 4: A grandchild anymore. That was crazy. Yeah, that was insane. Yeah,

1244
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 4: ver much. My grandma didn't outright apologize or see what

1245
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 4: she did wrong? Onto the revenge. No, wait, we're getting

1246
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 4: revenge for this now. Hell yeah, I murdered my grandma.

1247
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 4: You were old anyway. Grandma down the stairs and then

1248
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 4: she reached for the life alert and I snatched it

1249
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 4: and I said, who's not your grandchild? Now, Grandma? What's

1250
01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 4: their tagline? It's like something life alert. Oh you've fallen

1251
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 4: and you can't kid enough life We're terrible. Okay, So

1252
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 4: my grandmother is turning sixty two very soon. It's a

1253
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 4: young grandma. It is young grandma. And yeah she's seventeen.

01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:14,880

Speaker 6: Her and my birthday are not fall apart. Rather kind

Speaker 6: our birthday together.

1258
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 4: And you know, I'm gonna make it all about me. Baby.

1259
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 4: That revenge though, oh so and I for an eye

1260
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 4: makes the whole world block. What a plot and conniving genius. Sorry, Op,

Speaker 4: we love you, Thank you for submitting your story. Appreciate

1262
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 4: you submitting your story. Yes, but don't be too divindict

1263
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 4: w Yeah exactly. Go go a little easy on her. Yeah,

1264
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 4: she is old. She only has twenty twenty thirty birthdays left.

1265
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 4: I'm going to go out and not attend her birthday.

1266
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 4: I'm going to pretend like it's my birthday God enjoyed

1267
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 4: with my friends. I couldn't enjoy my birthday because she

1268
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 4: wanted to root it for selfish reasons. I'm going to

1269
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 4: ignore her the whole time, and if anyone stopped me,

1270
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 4: I'll remind her of what she did on my birthday. Yeah.

1271
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 6: I'm gonna bring a cake of my own and light

1272
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 6: it with the number eighteen on it. That's amazing. Even

1273
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 6: though I don't feel any any emotional attachment to her,

1274
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 6: I do feel bad for doing this.

1275
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 4: But do you what do you say? Is this too

1276
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 4: petty for revenge or not it's a little petty, opee,

1277
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 4: it's a little petty. I think I'm more concerned about

1278
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 4: than no attachment. I think I think literally both of

1279
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 4: you guys are massively overreacting me because so grandma saying

1280
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 4: that you're not her grainchild after not enjoying a day

1281
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 4: out with her is the dumbest thing ever. Like people

1282
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 4: have bad days. It is what it is or whatever.

1283
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, Like, let it go, but

1284
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 4: you shouldn't escalate it just because your grandma did something wrong.

1285
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 4: It doesn't mean that you should, like ye, give it

1286
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 4: an equal and opposite reaction. Yeah, there's this lie where

1287
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 4: it's like the best way to get revenge on your

1288
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 4: enemies is to live a better life than them, Right,

1289
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 4: that's true. And then it's like, if you're stooping to

1290
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:09,320
Speaker 4: the level of your grandma, then you're making your own

1291
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 4: white life worse because being vindictive actually never really feels

1292
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 4: good long term, or does it? Or does it sweeticus

1293
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 4: stinge on your grandma or I guess she's not even

1294
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 4: your grandma anymore because you have no attachment to that

1295
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 4: peaceful garbageut freaking flabby skin, set that bag of bones

1296
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:31,679
Speaker 4: one foot in the grave and one foot prop cliff

1297
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:34,240

1307
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 4: hit with It today. I fed up by accidentally injecting

1308
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 4: my girlfriend with five doses of the COVID vaccine. Are

1309

Speaker 4: I got my baseball butt, I got my twelve pounds

1313
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 4: of salami ready the wall of their boxes all day.

1314
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:32,680
Speaker 4: This happened a few weeks ago. Quick background, I'm in

1315
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 4: my last year of pharmacy school. I'm currently bouncing around

1316
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:38,879
Speaker 4: doing rotations, which is basically free work at different sites hospitals,

1317
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 4: big pharming companies, retail floors. Oh dam. But this most

1318
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 4: recent rotation is in a grocery store pharmacy, where things

1319
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 4: have gotten pretty hectic with the CDC given the okay

1320
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 4: for everyone to get a COVID booster shot, which also

1321
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 4: happens to coincide with flu season, which also needs flu shots.

1322
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 4: I'm pretty much sticking people with needles all day every day.

1323
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 4: So my girlfriend needs her phiser shot booster shot for

1324
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 4: work and wants me to give it to her. Cute, right,

1325
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:07,800
Speaker 4: I tell her I'm happy to on this particular day.

1326
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 4: For whatever reason, we can't drive to the pharmacy together

1327
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 4: because our schedules don't line up. I have an obligation

1328
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:15,480
Speaker 4: in the morning, so I end up driving to the pharmacy,

1329
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 4: arriving early in the early afternoon, and she arrives about

1330
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes after I do. On an average day, I'm

1331
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 4: usually the vaccine guy yoh yeah, vaccine Yeah again. It

1332
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 4: gives you the vaccine, and the guy that says hello

1333
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 4: at the window went up thanks to vaccine. God takes

1334
01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 4: your insurance and stuff makes you wait forty five minutes.

1335
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 4: I promise, I'm moving as fast as I can. I

1336
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 4: love how OPI is like I'm trying row. I feel

1337
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:42,559
Speaker 4: bad because it's like I'm sure people are yeah, people

1338
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 4: get something basically gives you the shot. So I'm used

1339
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 4: to handling the whole process step by step at my

1340
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 4: own pace, being as organized as time allows. I like

1341
01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 4: to set up my stuff in the morning before we open,

1342
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 4: get all the paperwork in order, and have my ducks

1343
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:58,720
Speaker 4: in a row before the day even starts. So I

1344
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 4: walk into the pharmacy in the early afternoon and it's

1345
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 4: absolute unbridled chaos. People waiting for shots, knocking on when

1346
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 4: some lady folkes her head under the plexiglasses starts asking

1347
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,760
Speaker 4: me about her Venla fax machine, which I don't know

1348
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 4: what all what that is, et cetera, et cetera. I've

1349
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 4: already flustered as hell and off my game because I

1350
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:22,320
Speaker 4: had a Cheryl waiting who's getting her second maderna shot,

1351
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:25,559
Speaker 4: pneumonia shot, and shingle shot, and also has three other

1352
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,759
Speaker 4: medications that need to be filled, so she's the whole dale.

1353
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 4: And then we have Dave, who brought his four kids

1354
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 4: for flu shots and also has his great aunt who

1355
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 4: also want three COVID shots at once and has a

1356
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 4: bruise on her arm, so she wants them in a rear.

1357
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:40,680
Speaker 4: In her rear, you can get a COVID shot in

1358
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 4: your butt. Oh my god, these characters. Anyway, you get

1359
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:45,560
Speaker 4: the point. The pharmacy is going to hell, and I

1360
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 4: am basket. Fifteen minutes later, my girlfriend walks in for

1361
01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 4: Pfizer booster. I'm very happy to see her, and I

1362
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 4: tell her that she can do some grocery shopping while

1363
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 4: she waits for me to get the paperwork together. As

1364
01:11:57,479 --> 01:12:00,719
Speaker 4: I'm rummaging through a paperwork, one of the co workers fridge,

1365
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 4: unbeknownst to me, pulls out an unopened vial of the

1366
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:07,680
Speaker 4: Pfizer vaccine and pops the cap. Some more background. The

1367
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 4: Phizer vaccine comes in multi dose vials. There's a small

1368
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 4: amount of liquid in the vial and you need to

1369
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:16,560
Speaker 4: dilute it with normal saline solution before drawing up the

1370
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 4: vaccine into your syringe. Each vial has enough for five

1371
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 4: doses after dilution. Here's where it all goes wrong. Oh God.

1372
01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:28,919
Speaker 4: I turn around and draw per vaccine into the syringe

1373
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:33,440
Speaker 4: and see the open Pizer vial. My perceptive butt assumes

1374
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 4: that since the vial is opened with no cap and

1375
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:37,479
Speaker 4: has a very small amount of liquid, and it must

1376
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:40,640
Speaker 4: have already been diluted, with normal saline and use, so

1377
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 4: there's only like one more dose left, not five. Right. Again,

1378
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 4: with me being extremely insightful, I decide not to double

1379
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 4: check or confirm with anyone around me, which would have

1380
01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:51,439
Speaker 4: taken about like one and a half seconds. Of course,

1381
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 4: in reality, the vial had not been diluted yet, which

1382
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 4: is why there was so little liquid inside. Oh my god,

1383
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 4: everything else precedes. I give my girlfriend the shot, kissed

1384
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:04,360
Speaker 4: the boo boo, as I do with everyone because I'm

1385
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 4: a professional, and go back into the pharmacy. A few

1386
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:10,680
Speaker 4: minutes later, my coworker asked me what happened to the

1387
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 4: new vial she just opened, and it begins to dawn

1388
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 4: on me that I have royally crapped the bed. If

1389
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 4: you do the math with the delusion, I had just

1390
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 4: given my girlfriend five full dozes of COVID vaccines. Oh

1391
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:28,160
Speaker 4: my five god. I injected this poor one hundred and

1392
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 4: five pound girl with another vaccine juice to get her

1393
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:35,800
Speaker 4: through COVID twenty twenty one and twenty two. She was

1394
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:38,519
Speaker 4: still grocery shopping, so I ran over to her, trying

1395
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 4: to hide the fact that I was crapping myself silly

1396
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 4: and attempted to break the news to her in a

1397
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 4: somewhat non panicked way, something like, hey, so there was

1398
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 4: a bit of the dilution era on my part and

1399
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:57,640
Speaker 4: you may have received a bit more than intended. She

1400
01:13:57,720 --> 01:13:59,960
Speaker 4: honestly took it really well. She just kind of went like, okay,

1401
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:03,120
Speaker 4: so what does that mean. I told her to expect

1402
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 4: a wee bit of arm soreness and fatigue, and then

1403
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:09,160
Speaker 4: she strolled away to finish shopping. So meanwhile, I run

1404
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 4: back to the pharmacy and call Pfizer asap. Everything I've read,

1405
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 4: learned and googled has told us that this isn't the

1406
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:17,599
Speaker 4: hugest deal in the world, and it's not life threatening

1407
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:19,280
Speaker 4: or anything. But I just want to make sure I

1408
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 4: cover my bases. So I called Pfizer and see what

1409
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,760
Speaker 4: happened before and what the outcome was after being transferred

1410
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,080
Speaker 4: like nine different times, I got a drug representative on

1411
01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:31,400
Speaker 4: the line, and apparently, in all the millions of Pfizer

1412
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 4: vaccines distributed worldwide, me and one other dude in New

1413
01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:39,640
Speaker 4: Zealand are the only idiots stupid enough to bull of

1414
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:43,720
Speaker 4: stunt like that, which is so surprising. Millions millions of

1415
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 4: COVID vaccines and no one's messed up. Also good, also

1416
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:50,000
Speaker 4: pretty good. According to the drug rep, severe arm soreness

1417
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 4: is really the only thing to watch out for. The

1418
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:54,400
Speaker 4: rest of the day proceeded as usual, save for me

1419
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 4: being extremely shaken from the whole ordeal. The pharmacists had

1420
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 4: to fill out and submit an incident, which ironically I

1421
01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:03,559
Speaker 4: filled out for him because he was so busy. I

1422
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:06,519
Speaker 4: realized it was probably going to turn out fine. But Craft,

1423
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:09,679
Speaker 4: if it was a different drug where the concentration did matter,

1424
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 4: literally people can die from this Craft. Or what if

1425
01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 4: it was some random person instead of my girlfriend, they

1426
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:16,720
Speaker 4: would have sued the company into the ground. So my

1427
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 4: girlfriend is the real victim of this story. She got

1428
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:22,720
Speaker 4: very sore from her arm that night, and the next

1429
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:25,200
Speaker 4: day she felt like a train wreck and spent most

1430
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 4: of the day in bed, and you bet your ass.

1431
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 4: I was waiting on her hand and foot. I was

1432
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 4: bro yeah, you bet her. I was popping in the

1433
01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:35,719
Speaker 4: bedroom every twenty minutes to see if she needed anything,

1434
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 4: And after a few hours she told her just stop

1435
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 4: bothering me. She took it like a champ, and she

1436
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:42,560
Speaker 4: was such a good sport about it. We joked that

1437
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:45,920
Speaker 4: any virus just immediately dies upon entering a twenty foot

1438
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:48,400
Speaker 4: radius of her. All things considered, the f up turned

1439
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 4: out the best possible way it could. Nobody sued the company,

1440
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,120
Speaker 4: my girlfriend didn't make me sleep on the couch, and

1441
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:55,559
Speaker 4: I didn't get sent back to tenth grade science class

1442
01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 4: to learn about liquid concentration. The silver lining is that

1443
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:00,920
Speaker 4: in the future, I'm going to think about this situation

1444
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:04,880
Speaker 4: every time I'm working around vials and hopefully never make

1445
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 4: the same mistake again. Wow, Man, five doses in one

1446
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 4: because I thought I was gonna be like she received

1447
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 4: for first two, No, five doses. That's insane. The thing

1448
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:17,880
Speaker 4: that's also craziest about the story that there's only one

1449
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:21,000
Speaker 4: other person that's ever done this, which so surprising awesome.

1450
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 4: I mean, like, yeah, it speaks to just how good

1451
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 4: these vaccine are. Straight is like incredible. If you haven't

1452
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 4: already get your vaccine, man, yeah, COVID conscious. But anyway, John,

1453
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 4: what do you got for me? Someone Like? I think

1454
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:37,640
Speaker 4: probably all platforms would would take it down if I

1455
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 4: said this one thing, What did you say? I was

1456
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:45,599
Speaker 4: gonna say, uh, subscribing to our channel. There's probably some

1457
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:48,000
Speaker 4: sort of sensors everywhere at this point, yeah, I imagine

1458
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:53,360
Speaker 4: it's all entertainment guys,
