1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: This is also insane because they want to fire me

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: for someone cheaper. Fine, all follow the rules and burn

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: this place to the ground. Here's how my job was

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: design and write software for big, high value customers NERD.

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: And if these high value clients liked our work, they

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: would go to a big engineering team who would build

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: out the rest of the product. Occasionally, I would run

8
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: a prototype for a few months while the customer was

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: thinking about if they want.

10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: To go all in, I'll go all in.

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: But Sam, yes, tell me, these projects require a lot

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: of data. Okay, I'm talking even when it's compressed over

13
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: a terabyte of data.

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: That's a lot. That's a lot. That's a lot. Are

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: we talking.

16
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 3: Like like like video data or are we talking just.

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: Like text code data? Text?

18
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: Terabytes of text? Terabytes of text is insane especially. I

19
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: have a fun fact for you, John Oh. If you

20
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 3: were to guess all of Wikipedia, yeah, how many gigabytes

21
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: if you just have the text version text? Yeah, and

22
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: then how many gigabytes for the images.

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess kind of lower.

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: Five hundred gigabytes, eighty eighty gigabytes eighty all of Wikipedia,

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: all of Wikipedia. That a sane six or six or

26
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 3: twenty five million articles. That's insane. Wow, I would have

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: guessed more articles. Honestly, they have a ton and it's

28
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 3: maybe might be sixteen million or yeah, I would have

29
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: guessed one hundred honestly million. I mean, I'm I'm wrong, probably,

30
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 3: but well many things out we're talking.

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: Just English, Okay, okay, gotcha.

32
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: Now, having done all this work over the years, I've

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: accumulated a small farm of hard drives from past projects.

34
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, which, as you.

35
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: Can imagine, could be very useful if a customer needs

36
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: old data. Like customer comes back and like, hey, do

37
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: we have do we have the data?

38
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: Got it in my my hoarding storage of my small army. Yeah,

39
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 3: my my graveyard of freaking hard drives.

40
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: I'm just imagining.

41
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: I have you seen the episode of SpongeBob where he

42
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: gets really buff and has like pink arms, Like buff arms.

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm imagining there's a bunch of hard drives with tiny

44
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: buff pink arms that are just like freaking soldiers, just.

45
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: Like guarding if you guard the data, ready to go

46
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: to war to protect your data?

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: Now that cybersecurity bro.

48
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: But also, this guy is sitting on a treasure trove

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: of like fucking overpower literally like probably millions worth of projects.

50
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 3: Oh data, Yeah, and you could. I mean you could

51
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: do anything with that data. You could could sell it online,

52
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 3: you could do anything. And to that data, they can

53
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: do anything to these cheeks. Oh but here's the thing, Sam,

54
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 3: what is the thing?

55
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: The kicker? Oh, kick me, daddy, I will.

56
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: The company refused to ever buy hard drives for this,

57
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: so I own all of the hard drives with the

58
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: customer data.

59
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 3: That's like kind of shitty because a terabyte hard drive

60
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: is like sometimes I don't know, like one hundred to

61
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 3: three hundred bucks.

62
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: Like nothing for what this is. Yeah, project, it's a lot.

63
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: For individual, it's a lot, but it's like for a company,

64
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: it's like why would you not? Yeah, that's potential, like

65
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: probably a million dollars of potential value for like one

66
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty bucks exactly insane. But OP owns all

67
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: of it, okay, And it saved me a lot of

68
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: time just buying them myself. I ended up buying like

69
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: one or two a year until I accumulated ten terabytes

70
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: of hard drives.

71
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 3: So man has ten hard drives.

72
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: I guess he was explaining, like, oh, so many army.

73
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: I was expecting like like hundreds of hundreds just to

74
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: give you a uh, to give you an the audience

75
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 3: an idea. In my hand, I'm holding three terabytes. This

76
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: is this is two, this is one.

77
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: Well wait, wait to minimize the big reveal. But he

78
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: spent he spent one thousand dollars on all the drives

79
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: over the years. Okay, okay, I mean that's it's it's

80
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: a decent nothing. It's not nothing. It's not nothing. But

81
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: then unexpectedly the entire management changed, and the new management

82
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: thinks that they can replace the new management thinks they

83
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: can replace the old software guy with the cheap, stupid

84
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: new software grad.

85
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 3: Fuck the new software grad.

86
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: So guess what's.

87
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 3: Your engineering degree from cal State Wichita fu? Yeah, cal

88
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 3: state bumfuck can get you anywhere in this industry?

89
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, BF.

90
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 3: Do you think I've been I've been coding since since

91
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 3: you were since you were learning your first I was

92
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: learning my first programming language when you were never learning

93
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 3: your first English language. A little bitch, you know, learn

94
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: some damn respects. Yeah, for your elders. And it gets sweeter, Sam.

95
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 3: So they gave me two weeks to train the new

96
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 3: guy before I'm laid off.

97
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: That's so shitty, dude, just so.

98
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: Humiliating, so humiliate like you're fired in two weeks, but

99
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 3: before you go, you're training the guy just like everything

100
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: that you've learned. Can you just like tell that that

101
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 3: new guy so we could we really want to fire you,

102
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: you're too expensive, just like give all of your expertise

103
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: to the new guy. That's that's a pretty shitty business practice.

104
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: Super super slimy move, super slimy move. And Opie says, yes,

105
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: it's blatant age discrimination, but impossible to fight. So I

106
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: just went for a graceful transition to the next job.

107
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 3: Okay, So he said he did train, he did train,

108
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 3: not knows new engineer.

109
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: This SnO knows Brad is learning, except except I have

110
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars of personal disk drives with old.

111
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: Customer data that I own.

112
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: Okay, And the company insists that ex employees have to

113
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 1: take any company data off of drives that they own.

114
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: So they like the company owns, but he owns the drive.

115
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 3: He owns the drive, so he has to delete all

116
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 3: of the customer data hhmm okay, yes, or he has

117
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 3: to transfer it to to another.

118
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: He has to he has to to get rid of it. Okay,

119
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: he will, he will choose his method wisely.

120
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: Okay, let's hear now.

121
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to leave the drives at the company,

122
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: but they insist I delete all data before taking them home.

123
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 2: So I give them two generous offers.

124
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: They can buy them from me or I will eventually

125
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: use them for something else, but I can leave the

126
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: data on them in case anybody needs it. But nope,

127
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: they refused my options. The new manager insists I delete.

128
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: All data and all backups before I remove the drives. Yeah,

129
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 3: this is very short sighted. I have a feeling CARBA

130
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: is gonna.

131
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: Circle around pretty quick.

132
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: So I said, okay, and that's what I did. I

133
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: deleted all the data everything.

134
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: Six months later, I got a flurry, a rush of

135
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: desperate phone calls. Turns out new software grad has been

136
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: unable to build any new prototypes whatsoever. All of the

137
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: old all of the old high ticket customers are calling

138
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 1: to get their old prototypes updated, and the new software

139
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: grad has no idea how to do that. It went

140
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: all the way up to the executive VP, who is

141
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: now calling me and begging me what would it take

142
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: to bring me back to do my old job.

143
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 2: My response crawling back from the back. Please, I need

144
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: your hair.

145
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 4: Please, I beg of you. Way in the tunnels is

146
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 4: the lightest feeding. The clients are leaving, We're dying. Resuscitate us,

147
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 4: breathe life into a desperate lungs. We plead for just

148
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 4: another hour, another hour of existence.

149
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: But you know Op's response, Sam, What, Sorry, I got

150
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: a new job.

151
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: Yikes, Yo, I'm busy, bro. Maybe you could freelance, though,

152
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 3: just charge a ridiculous amount. Maybe maybe, But I think

153
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 3: I think OP is going for the sweet, delicious revenge.

154
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: It's revenge that you can't put a price on the

155
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: sweetest grip, you know what I mean?

156
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: Good revenge worth its weight in gold.

157
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: And then I told them, even if I did, I

158
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: can't modify the old prototypes because you made me delete

159
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: all of them.

160
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 2: Fucking idiots, idiots, idiots.

161
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: If I did want to modify it, I would literally

162
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: have to recreate everything from scratch. They do still have

163
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: the code, but all the data is gone, so basically

164
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: everything they have is useless. Sorry, you screwed yourselves exactly

165
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: like I told you what happened, Hope. Whatever you saved

166
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: by hiring the cheap new grad to replace an experienced programmer.

167
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: Was worth it.

168
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: I feel so bad for the cheap new grad. Yes,

169
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: he did nothing wrong, Like imagine.

170
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 5: That you just did his college and like, oh man,

171
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 5: I can't wait for my first job. Yeah, and they

172
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 5: put you into something that like you are totally unqualified

173
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 5: for and then you're just like desperately trying to keep

174
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 5: above one water but you're drowning. And then you're like,

175
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 5: you're fuck because no one's going to hire you after

176
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 5: that if it was such a catastrophic failure.

177
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: And you're and the employee is never going to be like, Okay,

178
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, we're we're ditching this old guy, you know,

179
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: you know for you like he's probably he's probably coming

180
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: into oh I'm just going to join the company, and

181
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: then he's like everything falls on him.

182
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: It's true. He was the innocent mind standers. Yeah.

183
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel I feel worse, worst, worst. I feel

190
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 2: Sorry.

191
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 3: If you like this story, check out this one where

192
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: they overwork OP so they decide to just we're in

193
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 3: the company about deleting the.

194
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: Files, burn it to the ground. Huh okayop.

195
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 3: These are the scariest stories on Reddit count down to Halloween.

196
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: The neighbors invited me for dinner. All of my survival

197
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: instincts told me I'm in danger.

198
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 3: Not a dinner party you want to go to.

199
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: No, not very inviting. My next door neighbors are an

200
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: odd bunch. Sure, they have a bunch of top of

201
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: the line furniture vehicles, and everything was honestly quite outdated.

202
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: It looks like everything was old but in between aged

203
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: and antique, so they honestly kind of just looked ugly.

204
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: But like I said, everything looked really pricey, like expensive.

205
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: Hay me down space.

206
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: I say, next door neighbors, but they're really a couple

207
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: miles to my right. We all live in an expansive

208
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: closed community, all with really nice houses and acres of

209
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: wilderness separating us. It's honestly quite beautiful, and if anyone

210
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: has the money to be able to live in one

211
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: of these areas, I would highly recommend it some real

212
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: estate advice. Yeah, as long as the neighbors aren't quite

213
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: like these ones. I get it, they're rich, they're eccentric.

214
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: Those often go hand in hand. But these people in

215
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: general have just always put me at unease. When my

216
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: wife and I were invited to go to their place

217
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: for dinner, I was an ecstatic about it, but my

218
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: wife convinced us to go and just check the place out.

219
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: Maybe they were simply misunderstood. The invitation was a literal invitation.

220
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: When I say outdated, I mean really outdated. We had

221
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: a letter hand delivered to our residents by their butler,

222
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: who also gave me the creeps. The butler by the

223
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: butler like this makes me think of like Scooby Doo

224
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: weird butler coming from the manor to like deliver this

225
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: key mysterious invitation.

226
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 3: I'm almost imagining like a red wax seal. Yeah yeah,

227
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 3: and you have to break the seal and it's coated

228
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 3: in blood.

229
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: I could definitely see that. We opened it to find

230
00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: the invitation beautifully handwritten inside with amazing color. The letter

231
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,359
Speaker 1: word for word went like this, welcome mister and missus redacted.

232
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: Sorry for such a late welcoming letter. We seldom have

233
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: the time for such formalities, but found some time for tomorrow.

234
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: We would be most grateful to have you both for

235
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 1: dinner over at our manor and would love to share

236
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: our rich, familiar culture with you and your wife. Hope

237
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: to see you soon, Sincerely, the redacted.

238
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 3: If someone calls their home a manner.

239
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: Run literally the same run exact. I thought the same

240
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: exact thing.

241
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: Something about the letter felt wrong, but when my wife

242
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: shrugged it off, so did I. The day came to

243
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: go over to their manner, but of course she came

244
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: down with a stomach bug and couldn't make so now

245
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: I had to go alone.

246
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: Oh don't go into a strange person's home alone.

247
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 2: I would not have done split up. Come on, say you.

248
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: Have hockey practice or something. I arrived there on what

249
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: I supposed was on time, since no time was labeled.

250
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: I got there around four pm and was greeted with

251
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: an extremely attractive young man and woman. They were already

252
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: outside of the front door when I showed up, and

253
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: something told me they were waiting there for a while,

254
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: Like you just got the feeling they were just standing.

255
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 3: There, standing there, watching, waiting, very so creepy.

256
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: Everything about these people was flawless but dated. Perfect skin,

257
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: perfect clothes, perfect teeth, perfect hair. It felt like I

258
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: took a step backward in time. The only thing that

259
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: truly looked old were their eyes. I worked at a

260
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: nursing home as an adult, and I could recognize old

261
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: eyes anywhere. Walking into their house was truly a blast

262
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: of the past. It felt like I really time traveled,

263
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: except everything was covered in dust from lack of use,

264
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: except for the kitchen and dining room, which which was

265
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: already set up magnificently. We had small talk in the

266
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: dusty lounge area for a couple of hours before we

267
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: began to eat. Nothing really stemmed from the conversations, but

268
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: while I felt awkward from it, they kept on smiling.

269
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: But not really.

270
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: This show is sponsored by Better Help You know same.

271
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,920

00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: is America's number one meal.

317
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 3: Kit hops by boomooo with me.

318
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 2: They smiled at me.

319
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 3: What does that mean?

320
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: I'm just imagining a smile that's just like the transfixed look,

321
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: and you're just smiling like where it goes from warm

322
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: to creepy.

323
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

324
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 3: When we finally went over to the dining area, we

325
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 3: passed by a door that was halfway open and faint

326
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 3: noises could be heard from downstairs. I guess my body

327
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 3: language showed an interest, because the woman announced there was

328
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 3: nothing to be seen down there, twirled their fingers and

329
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 3: the door magically slam shut. I thought I must have

330
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 3: been seeing something, but they kept heading on, so I followed.

331
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 3: Every survival instinct inside of me told me to leave

332
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 3: right away, but I wouldn't be telling the story if

333
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 3: I did. We sat down to eat and started off

334
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 3: with some wine.

335
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: As soon as the first hip hit my lips, I

336
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 1: felt an instant craving to eat. They must have noticed,

337
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: because they sent out butlers with food to me.

338
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 2: Well, really only meat.

339
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 1: I began to devour uncontrollably, failing to notice at the

340
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: time what I was eating.

341
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: They just sat there was eating watching. Yeah.

342
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: So they bring out literally just meat, no other sides, vegetables, fruits, salad, nothing.

343
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: I ate about three times what I normally could stomach

344
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: in about half the amount of time it would normally

345
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: take me for a regular meal. After that, I felt

346
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: extremely bloated and sick, as one normally would after going

347
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: through such an endeavor of eating. Then they brought a

348
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: glass of liquor for me to drink, saying it's an

349
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: old family remedy that will make me feel better. I'm

350
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: not the biggest of liquor, but in order to not

351
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: offend them, I pretended to drink it anyways. Besides, every

352
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: cell in my body told me not to drink that,

353
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: and something was wrong. Even the whiff of vapor from

354
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: the drink made me feel unnaturally tired. Deciding that I

355
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: needed to purge what I ate immediately, despite it tasting

356
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: so good, I feigned stomach issues and ask where the

357
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: nearest restroom is. They told me through the kitchen and

358
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: to the left. I get up and walk to the kitchen.

359
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: After I was out of sight, I walked a little faster,

360
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: almost breaking into a light jog. I noticed absolutely no

361
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: one was in the kitchen right now and found it finished.

362
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: Looking around, I noticed mine and my wife's photo laying

363
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: on one of the counter Their photo, their photo.

364
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:47,719
Speaker 3: They had something planned.

365
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 2: Why was it there?

366
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,479
Speaker 1: Curiosity got the best of me, so I took a

367
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: detour to take a look. I probably should have left

368
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: by now, but I needed to find out why that

369
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: photo was there before I had it over. Something in

370
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: the invitation came to mind after seeing a cookbook next

371
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: to the picture. Next to the photo was an old, tattered,

372
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: handwritten cookbook already opened to a page. I didn't pay

373
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: much attention until I saw a very detailed drawing of

374
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: the human anatomy. There was no title on the page,

375
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: but it was the last words on the page that

376
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: shook God. Flesh is most potent when victim consumes its

377
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: own kind. And then my stomach gurgled.

378
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 3: He was eating human flesh.

379
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: She was eating human flesh. And potentially, my theory, it's

380
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: a picture of him and the wife. The wife had

381
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: some sort of stomach issue and said she couldn't make it.

382
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: Was it potentially the wife that they took for the

383
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: hours while they.

384
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: Were talking, They they took the wife.

385
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: They took the wife. He was chatting with them for

386
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: hours before they ever went to dinner. She had a

387
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 1: stomach bug. Eating their own kind could be interpreted as

388
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: just eating another human, or.

389
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 3: He ate his wife, or he ate his wife. Oh God,

390
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 3: And the drink that they gave him was his wife's blood.

391
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: Maybe not his wife's blood, but basically it was some

392
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: sort of chloroform like substance that would have knocked him out.

393
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: So that way, like the quote says, after he consumed

394
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: the flesh of someone else, His flesh would be better

395
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: for consumption.

396
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 3: Oh my god, dude, cannibals are freaking insane. Yeah, all right,

397
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 3: I'm not going to sleep tonight.
