WEBVTT - Closure Call: Case of the Missing Roommate

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.800
<v Speaker 1>You found it the Second Date Update Podcast. It's Brook

0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:05.080
<v Speaker 1>and Jeffrey in the morning. Thanks for being here, especially

0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:08.080
<v Speaker 1>on a Sunday, you know, and Sunday we've really been

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 1>using to introduce you to all sorts of new relationship

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 1>drama segments that we do on the show. And today

0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the first one we've done on the

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Second Date Update Podcast. We're gonna do a closure call. Yeah,

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean sometimes, yeah, they really are.

0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:23.560
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:25.479
<v Speaker 1>It's probably the most serious thing that we do on

0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:26.239
<v Speaker 1>the show. Yeah.

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 3>It is good serious, yeah, good serious.

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 1>And just emotional maybe is a better word than serious

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 1>intense maybe, yeah.

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:33.919
<v Speaker 4>I don't laugh at all.

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:39.240
<v Speaker 3>Cry, grab your tissues, get ready.

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.479
<v Speaker 1>A closure call is where we have our producer work

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 1>with one of our listeners to get in touch with

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>somebody from their past. It could be like a family member,

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of exesmate that just disappeared once. Yeah, which

0:00:56.200 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 1>is a hint for what today's is, by the way. Anyway,

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 1>they come up with questions to ask this person that

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>has broken off contact with them, sometimes like years and

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>years ago. Yeah yeah, and then we read the responses

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>live on air and hopefully at the end, you know,

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:12.959
<v Speaker 1>give them a chance to move forward.

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 5>You know, because they don't know they're going to hear this.

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:19.759
<v Speaker 6>It's not the goal. It's not the goal, but sometimes

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 6>it does happen. So now you understand what it is.

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 6>Hopefully you enjoy it definitely. Let us know in the comments.

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:27.319
<v Speaker 6>We love reading your comments.

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:28.119
<v Speaker 1>We got some today.

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I saw one from So Original. Yes, I'm many

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 3>o's okay, Yes, who said? My favorite moments are when

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 3>Jeffrey's genuine laugh sneaks out. It's hilariously adorable.

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he tries to suppress it.

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I swear he has to. He works with us because

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 1>off air jeff laughs so much.

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, he's those people that makes me

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:46.639
<v Speaker 3>feel really good about myself because he laughs at everything

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 3>you say.

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>No, sometimes when we'll go out to drinks, will be

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>like on the first drink and like, are you are

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>you drunk?

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 4>Always look, I don't think he's an alcoholic, but no,

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 4>he's got.

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 5>One beer in front of him and some good food.

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Happy. Yeah, I know. All right, listen to the closure call.

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for being here. We got a brand new show

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow of course too, so come back. But hope you enjoyed.

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 7>Who knows you better than anyone else. You may think

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:18.399
<v Speaker 7>your mom, or your sibling, or your spouse, but now

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 7>the truth is, nobody sees you like a roommate sees you.

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, you're right, you're my old roommate.

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 5>Probably knows more about me.

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Than my family.

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, they know all your annoying little habits, your lazy tendencies,

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 7>and what your soapy silhouette looks like through that shower curtain.

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 5>Wait, what they've seen.

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 7>That's why one of our listeners is so distraught because

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 7>he and his roommate became real close friends till everything

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 7>suddenly changed on a random day four years ago, and

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 7>he has never got the answers for what really happened

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 7>on that day.

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 5>That's why he's.

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.639
<v Speaker 7>Enlisted our help for a brand new closure call. We're

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:01.960
<v Speaker 7>gonna get some answers coming up right after this. Who

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 7>knows you better than anyone else. You may think your mom,

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 7>or your sibling, or your spouse, But now the truth is,

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 7>nobody sees you like a roommate sees you.

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, you're right, you're my old roommate.

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 5>Probably knows more about me than my family.

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, they know all your annoying little habits, your lazy

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:26.360
<v Speaker 7>tendencies and what your soapy silhouette looks like through that

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 7>shower curtain.

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 5>Wait, what they've seen.

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 7>That's why one of our listeners is so distraught because

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 7>he and his roommate became real close friends till everything

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 7>suddenly changed on a random day four years ago, and

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 7>he has never got the answers for what really happened

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 7>on that day. That's why he's enlisted our help for

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 7>a brand new closure call. We're gonna get some answers

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 7>coming up right after this. We've been doing closure calls

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 7>for a while now, and most of the time when

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 7>people need closure, it's from an ex boyfriend or a

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 7>family member, which I know, in Brooks case is sometimes

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 7>the same thing.

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 5>We're a little confusing.

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 7>But today today is interesting because I'd say not a

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 7>lot of people feel like they need closure from a

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 7>past roommate.

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh I could see that.

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I mean I try to avoid most of mine.

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 7>But apparently that's what our listener, Adam is looking for today,

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 7>closure with one of his past roommates. So, Adam, welcome

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 7>to the show.

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 4>Hey, oh thank you.

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Is this person just a roommate, because usually roommates are

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>also your best friends and people that you love, you know,

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:39.720
<v Speaker 1>and care about.

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.719
<v Speaker 4>He was just a roommate and then we became really

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 4>close buddies. God, I moved into.

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.919
<v Speaker 7>A house where I literally found it on craigslist, didn't

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.599
<v Speaker 7>know anyone, and then we became best friends.

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:53.479
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, that's the easiest way to be friends

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.479
<v Speaker 1>with somebody and you know everything about them immediately, you know.

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, yeah, I mean that's how it was with him.

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.840
<v Speaker 4>We became great friends really quickly.

0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, But some friends you can't live with.

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 3>It's different.

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.360
<v Speaker 7>And because this is a closure call, how long has

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.280
<v Speaker 7>it been since you were roommates with this guy?

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Like, he's not in the next room right now, is he?

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 4>No? I wish he's not here. He has been gone

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 4>for four years now.

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 5>Oh wows.

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:23.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Wait did he move out of your guys's place?

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 4>So the way it all went down was things were cool,

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:35.239
<v Speaker 4>and all of a sudden he just wasn't there.

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean, like in the middle of the

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 1>night he moved his stuff out or what.

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 4>I would get home from work. I worked really early

0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 4>shifts and I would get home around two three pm.

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.559
<v Speaker 4>And he was there, always there every single day, showed

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 4>up at home. The door's wide open, there's no note

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 4>or anything.

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 4>It kind of freaked me out. Kat was still there.

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Wait, his cat? Your cat? Whose cat?

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:02.159
<v Speaker 2>It was?

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.160
<v Speaker 4>His cat? I mean, I love the cat. You know,

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.119
<v Speaker 4>I was a cool roommate. I fed the cat, played

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 4>my cat.

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Was your roommate kidnapped and you never filed a report?

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, because he's like I just heard help, help, help

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 7>from down the street.

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's what I thought. I was freaking out, and

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 4>I didn't call authorities or anything, and I waited a

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.200
<v Speaker 4>day or two. So I started asking around to different

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 4>friends and families, and they were told from him that

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.080
<v Speaker 4>he just didn't want to be my roommate anymore.

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.719
<v Speaker 7>What I thought you said that you guys were like

0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 7>good buddies.

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 4>We were great buddies. We had movie night.

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 7>Oh man, I can't a movie night anymore.

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:44.919
<v Speaker 5>This is a tragedy.

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.760
<v Speaker 1>I can't get over him leaving the cat. Did he

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 1>take his stuff when he left?

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:54.600
<v Speaker 4>He took some stuff he took like some of his clothes,

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:56.600
<v Speaker 4>But he left PlayStation.

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 2>He left like essentials.

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 7>I mean, that's upset about the PlayStation more than the

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:03.720
<v Speaker 7>cat got to give up.

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it sounds for a weekend trip, and

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:08.919
<v Speaker 1>it was like, actually this is nicer. I'm gonna say.

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean I know that I wasn't perfect. There

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 4>were things that kicked them off. I would eat his

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 4>food sometimes.

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 7>Well did he label it food?

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Not allowed to do that, guy, there is no labels.

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 5>Well there you go.

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 1>You got there's only two of you living there. You

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 1>don't have to label it.

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 7>If it's not yours, then if you didn't want me

0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 7>to eat it, don't put it.

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 5>In our fridge. It's a shared space. What you're going

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 5>la each out of the couch.

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Now, remind me never to be a roommate with Jeffrey.

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 1>So wait, do you think he was mad at you?

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Because that's what you're kind of.

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 4>Implying, I mean me eating some of his food every

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 4>now and then. Or the other big one was that

0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 4>I hardly ever did dishes.

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 1>You didn't do your own dishes and you ate his food.

0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Move.

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:06.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's not that dramatic.

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.680
<v Speaker 4>You know. I cleaned the cat's litter and I held

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 4>up my end of some of the bargain, and I

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 4>could do more dishes if that was the issue.

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>But he never talked to you about it.

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I couldn't have just been about silly little things

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 4>like that. And I know it's kind of weird because

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.120
<v Speaker 4>he was just my roommate and I know it was

0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 4>four years ago, but still it is haunting me that

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.600
<v Speaker 4>this person would just up and go. And I really

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 4>would love some closure.

0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:38.960
<v Speaker 2>I would love to know what I did.

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Huh.

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:45.840
<v Speaker 7>Okay, yeah, yeah, So if our audience doesn't know or

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 7>remember how the segment works, Adam does.

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 5>Obviously.

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:52.080
<v Speaker 7>Our producers have been working with him to track down

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 7>his roommate, Roy, and we went to Roy's Instagram. Actually,

0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 7>our producer has been sending him a lot of messaging

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:04.360
<v Speaker 7>is and Roy finally responded. We asked him if we

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.000
<v Speaker 7>could send him four questions from Adam.

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and these are questions that Adam came up with

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:10.559
<v Speaker 1>with our producer.

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 5>Yes, with help.

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 6>When you ask him that, do you say this doesn't

0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:14.439
<v Speaker 6>count as one of the questions.

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 7>Because he did agree to answer four brand new questions

0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 7>and we got his responses ready Right now, this could

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.320
<v Speaker 7>get a little bit intense for you.

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 5>Adam, Are you ready for it?

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.000
<v Speaker 4>Did you already read him? Do you already know what

0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:31.440
<v Speaker 4>he should?

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:32.319
<v Speaker 5>I haven't read them?

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Now, do you know they're intense.

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 5>Well I'm just guessing, all right, I don't know.

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.200
<v Speaker 7>We're all going to read them together and find out

0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.319
<v Speaker 7>what happened to your old roommate Roy, hopefully give you

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.360
<v Speaker 7>a little bit of finality on it when we do, what.

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Brook, Can I just ask, where's the cat down? I

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:51.080
<v Speaker 1>was wondering that to you.

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 7>If that's not in the questions that was asked, then

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 7>we don't have anywers the cat.

0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>The cat is sitting by my feet right now.

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, needed to get animals.

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.960
<v Speaker 4>We're on speaker phone. So if it's anything that would

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 4>really hurt the cat's feeling, okay, well.

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.920
<v Speaker 7>Maybe that cat when we come back and do the

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 7>rest of your closure call right after this.

0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 4>Thank you.

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:22.719
<v Speaker 5>If you're just joining us.

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.679
<v Speaker 7>We're in the middle of a closure call with Adam, who,

0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 7>just to recap, had a roommate named Roy, and four

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 7>years ago Adam came home to find Roy was gone, Yes,

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 7>along with most of his belongings, left behind his cat

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:39.920
<v Speaker 7>and a video game system.

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.080
<v Speaker 1>They were friends. Like, it's so crazy, I am so

0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:47.079
<v Speaker 1>invested in this. Yeah, that's right, Jose.

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 7>No no orientication as to where Roy went. So Adam

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.079
<v Speaker 7>has been wondering for years where did my buddy go?

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 5>And who's going to do my dishes now?

0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.120
<v Speaker 7>Because Adam, you admitted there were certain things you did

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.960
<v Speaker 7>as a roommate that were not so good. Certain things

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 7>were really good. But what was the overall dynamic between

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 7>you and Roy?

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:12.200
<v Speaker 4>If I were to paint a picture, we were jokesters.

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:16.240
<v Speaker 4>To guess there was a lot of laughter going on.

0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.160
<v Speaker 1>That's a good sign. Well, it's so weird because the

0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 1>friends and the family all said that he left because

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:24.559
<v Speaker 1>he didn't want to be roommates. Yeah, so it was

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.439
<v Speaker 1>obviously planned a little bit exactly.

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.320
<v Speaker 7>And before we get to these questions, that's the reason

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:31.600
<v Speaker 7>that Adam reached out to us in the first place,

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.960
<v Speaker 7>because hearing stuff like that must hurt.

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:35.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, everybody said the same thing.

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 4>I don't I don't even want to accept that that

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:39.839
<v Speaker 4>is what he said.

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, say that you're hut.

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 7>All right, Well, let's get right to it, because we

0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.040
<v Speaker 7>have the four questions that you sent to Roy.

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 5>He has answered all four of them. Let's get some question.

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:53.560
<v Speaker 5>Number one.

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 7>You said, hey man, it's been almost four years. I

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 7>still don't know why you moved out without telling me

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.400
<v Speaker 7>or leaving a note. I felt like we were great

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.440
<v Speaker 7>friends and I'd like some closure.

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 5>Not much of a question, that's more of a statement there.

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 5>But you know, I'm not going to critique you.

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:11.280
<v Speaker 1>That was the end.

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 2>There's no okay, Yeah, there.

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 5>Was no question. It's like, can you explain?

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's more like yeah.

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 7>So Roy responded, he wrote, really you have no idea?

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:21.800
<v Speaker 5>Adam?

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 1>What? Adam?

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 5>Okay? For starters? You stole my cat.

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 1>I what are you talking about? Yeah? You said that

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Roy left the cat. Is that not true?

0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:32.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 2>He left the cat.

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 5>Here what he says.

0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 7>I was the one who brought the cat into the

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.319
<v Speaker 7>house and called him Paul. You changed his name to

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 7>Fluffy Bottoms and even got his tag change to reflect that.

0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of weird.

0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 4>First of all, much better name.

0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.199
<v Speaker 2>Is a and the cat liked it.

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 1>No, No, I think Paul is actually pretty funny. Yeah,

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.560
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna I just can't believe you changed. You're starting

0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:02.719
<v Speaker 1>to switch the team Roy right now.

0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 4>I can't believe that he would be holding a grudge

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 4>for four years over the cat.

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:09.680
<v Speaker 2>HA been an extra little puzza.

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 7>Well, well, there's there's more to his first answer. He

0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.440
<v Speaker 7>also said you would keep him in your room at

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 7>night than lock your door and pretend to be asleep

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 7>when I wanted to see Paul. So that's one example

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.400
<v Speaker 7>of your incredibly toxic behavior right there.

0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Toxic. He dropped the word on you.

0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:28.840
<v Speaker 2>The cat wanted to sleep with me.

0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:32.800
<v Speaker 4>Okay, if you want the cat and everyone locks their

0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:34.640
<v Speaker 4>door when they go to bed at night.

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Listen, Yeah, we're not trying to attack you, but it

0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.679
<v Speaker 1>sounds like you need to take a moment to take

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.079
<v Speaker 1>a deep breath and accept some Okay.

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 7>The only person who could honestly answer that is his cat,

0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.240
<v Speaker 7>And so we don't have time to do a whole

0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 7>questionnaire for the cats.

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.440
<v Speaker 5>We have to stick with the questions to Roy.

0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 4>Here.

0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 7>Let's go to number two. It says, I know I

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:57.320
<v Speaker 7>wasn't the perfect roommate.

0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's good. That's admitting some guilt, therefire responsibility.

0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 7>If it was something I did when I lived with you,

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.200
<v Speaker 7>Could you please give me a specific example that I

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:07.800
<v Speaker 7>could grow from.

0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:08.599
<v Speaker 3>Did I get it?

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 1>More?

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 5>Sure?

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.280
<v Speaker 7>But remember when we write these, we don't have the

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 7>answers back one at a time. We send them all

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 7>in one mass email.

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Adam, are you ready to hear this? Because it didn't

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:18.360
<v Speaker 1>feel like you were ready to hear the cat.

0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Now this situation, I will accept it.

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.920
<v Speaker 4>The cat threw me off. That threw me off.

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.600
<v Speaker 7>I feel optimistic about where this is going. So his

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:33.280
<v Speaker 7>response was, Okay, you want more about Netflix Sundays. When

0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 7>we would plan on watching a movie together every Sunday,

0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 7>and then once.

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.360
<v Speaker 5>We were a half hour in, you'd pause.

0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 7>The film and tell me the ending what you thought

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:46.640
<v Speaker 7>it was hilarious, and did that ten times until I

0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.320
<v Speaker 7>stopped watching movies with you.

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:52.840
<v Speaker 5>Maybe once made.

0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Funny.

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 7>Well, sometimes sometimes it's better to spoil the ending so

0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.120
<v Speaker 7>you don't suffer a bad movie.

0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:03.840
<v Speaker 1>He did it before the movie started. You let the

0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:06.240
<v Speaker 1>man get a half an hour into a film and

0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 1>then ruined it.

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.560
<v Speaker 4>Okay, all right, I will say, and I'll say calmly,

0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:15.200
<v Speaker 4>that is fair. It's not worth losing a friendship over. Okay.

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 4>I may have told him the ending of Breaking Bad,

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 4>but it was very funny.

0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 5>I still the ending of that.

0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Actually, how many seasons into Breaking Bad were you before

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 1>you ruin the end?

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Wow?

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.640
<v Speaker 7>I mean, brook is really offended over the spoiling of movies.

0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'll tell you there was one time when

0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.160
<v Speaker 1>my husband ripped out the last two pages of a book.

0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 4>I was invested in, hystericle.

0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:40.840
<v Speaker 1>It's a sa.

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.800
<v Speaker 5>Maybe if you need a new roommate, Brooks husband could

0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:47.120
<v Speaker 5>be it.

0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.800
<v Speaker 1>But did Roy ever tell Did Roy ever tell you

0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:50.800
<v Speaker 1>that he didn't like that?

0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:52.440
<v Speaker 5>He did, Brook.

0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:56.400
<v Speaker 7>This is not a closure call for you and watching

0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.320
<v Speaker 7>and book reading. This is for Adam with his old

0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:00.640
<v Speaker 7>roommate and.

0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.040
<v Speaker 1>It's not going well. That's the next question, Jeff.

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:06.120
<v Speaker 5>He's a question question number three that we sent Joy.

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 4>If I need to hear anymore, well, Brook needs.

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:10.040
<v Speaker 7>To hear.

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 5>We sent.

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 7>I know it's been a long time, but it would

0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:17.240
<v Speaker 7>really mean a lot to me if you came to

0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 7>my birthday party next.

0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 5>I would love to see you.

0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:22.960
<v Speaker 1>That's really sweet.

0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 2>I'd like him there. It's my birthday.

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.600
<v Speaker 5>It's a big pew.

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:31.920
<v Speaker 7>So Roy responded back, saying, are you trolling me with this?

0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:40.120
<v Speaker 7>Don't you remember the great birthday disaster? You threw me

0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:43.800
<v Speaker 7>that surprise birthday party but forgot to invite me or

0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:45.240
<v Speaker 7>did you do it on purpose?

0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 1>What?

0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.440
<v Speaker 7>I came home and the party was done, all my

0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.880
<v Speaker 7>friends had left, Then you showed me the picks on Instagram?

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:54.040
<v Speaker 5>What happened there?

0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 4>Adam, that's just okay. I did a lot of work

0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 4>for it, and I went and I got the cake,

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:04.520
<v Speaker 4>and I did all the secret invites, shut.

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Up the whole party. And it was an honest mistake.

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.560
<v Speaker 4>I just forgot the one thing.

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh wait, I forgot Text him in the middle of

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 1>the party, tell them to get over to the house.

0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:18.280
<v Speaker 2>We were having fun.

0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:22.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure you left him a slice of cake for

0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:23.440
<v Speaker 5>when he got home, right.

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:28.240
<v Speaker 7>Roy, What were we talking about?

0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:28.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:29.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Roy's birthday.

0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:33.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I totally did not do it on purpose. I

0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.480
<v Speaker 4>know that it sounds like I did, okay.

0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.520
<v Speaker 1>And how that stuff that all of his friends didn't stay.

0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 4>And just.

0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 5>It was a really good party that he's through. Obviously,

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:46.800
<v Speaker 5>it sounds.

0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Like Roy's not coming to Adams.

0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:51.120
<v Speaker 7>Bird hold on, we have time for one more question here.

0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:55.040
<v Speaker 7>This could salvage the entire friendship and maybe even have

0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.000
<v Speaker 7>him moving back in with you, because.

0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:58.359
<v Speaker 1>I hope you're learning something from this.

0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:01.240
<v Speaker 7>Adam wrote, no matter what I did, do you think

0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:02.399
<v Speaker 7>you could ever forgive me?

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Statement?

0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.240
<v Speaker 5>Brook doesn't forgive you, But there.

0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 4>You know so well. The subtext is there's a question

0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.000
<v Speaker 4>there of do you forgive me? Will you come back

0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:18.159
<v Speaker 4>to me and the cat.

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:22.040
<v Speaker 7>The cat you kind of stole and renamed and locked

0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:31.120
<v Speaker 7>in your bedroom. So he responded, no dot, And I

0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:33.400
<v Speaker 7>know all this would happen again if we hung out.

0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.760
<v Speaker 7>You're way too immature, and life's a big joke to you,

0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:38.920
<v Speaker 7>Like every time you'd ask me to stop at the

0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:40.720
<v Speaker 7>drive through on the way home and pick up food,

0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:42.920
<v Speaker 7>then you'd call ahead and tell the workers I was

0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:43.920
<v Speaker 7>a missing person.

0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:45.760
<v Speaker 5>It got old.

0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:56.320
<v Speaker 4>Found that was funny though it was created.

0:18:55.920 --> 0:19:01.840
<v Speaker 7>Even Brooks laughing at that one.

0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:00.920
<v Speaker 5>Every twenty to be actually good.

0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing, Adam, You've got to balance all this

0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 1>stuff with also some meaningful relationship things.

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:11.560
<v Speaker 2>I'd think it was balanced, though.

0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:18.680
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you just made his life living hell.

0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:22.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm willing to accept that he doesn't want to come back.

0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:24.639
<v Speaker 4>I'll have to break it to the cat, and I

0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:26.280
<v Speaker 4>don't know how the cat's gonna take this.

0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:27.040
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:28.960
<v Speaker 7>At the end of the day, the goal was to

0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:32.240
<v Speaker 7>get some closure for you, Adam, about what happened to

0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:32.760
<v Speaker 7>your roommate.

0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 5>Do you feel like you got it?

0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:38.199
<v Speaker 4>You know what I did get closure. Life is a

0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:42.280
<v Speaker 4>giant joke, and I thought was the jokester with me,

0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:45.879
<v Speaker 4>but apparently he's taken it all serious.

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:52.320
<v Speaker 5>To find the middle ground there anyway, go ahead at him.

0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.840
<v Speaker 7>Feel free to hop on Craigslist and get yourself a

0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:55.439
<v Speaker 7>new roommate.

0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:57.639
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully none of them listen to this.

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:02.639
<v Speaker 5>And happy belated birthday to Roy by.

0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:05.920
<v Speaker 4>The way, if you're listening, I don't wish him happy birthday.

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:06.880
<v Speaker 2>He's not going to be there.

0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 5>It's my birthday.
