1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: You don't hear me confession. I can't take back earl arms.

2
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: Mouse Speak got a text into seventy five nine to

3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 2: two that says, sometimes I check my phone to see

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 2: what time it is, but then I check again five

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: seconds later because I wasn't paying attention the first time.

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 3: I feel that.

7
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, the shame, the humiliation in that moment, knowing that

8
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: everybody else is judging you, thinking did they really just

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: pull out their phone twice?

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 3: Ever everybody else is doing this.

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 2: I would just give up for the day and go

12
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: home at that point. But if you have a shameful

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 2: moment that you want to get down to the open,

Speaker 1: Well? I'm actually a little bit nervous, Okay.

20
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: But I think that's normal. I mean, we can't tell

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 3: who you.

22
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: Are, so hopefully this segment helps with the nerves a

25
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: Okay, Wow, I'm just really relieved to be getting this

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: off my chest finally.

27
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: Okay.

28
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: I was dating this guy in the office for a

29
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: little while. We're seeing each other like about six months.

30
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: Okay, did people know or was the relationship kind of

31
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: hush hush?

32
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: No, people knew. People knew, and you know, he's a

33
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: really nice guy.

34
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 2: And when you say he was a really nice guy,

35
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: she dumped him.

36
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: Did chew him up and spin him out? Oh?

37
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, one night I ended up drinking too much and

38
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: I cheated on him and I felt really bad.

39
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: Yeah that's hard.

40
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 4: You didn't cheat on him with somebody else from the office,

41
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 4: did you?

42
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,279
Speaker 1: No? No? No?

43
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, still, what did you do? Did you tell

44
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 4: him right away or did you try to keep it

45
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 4: a secret?

46
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: Where I did? I told him right away. You know,

47
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: I came clean and I was like, no, what, I'm

48
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: really sorry. I just drank too much and it was

49
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: just horrible and we ended up breaking up.

50
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 4: Okay, at least you had like the I don't know,

51
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 4: moral compass to tell him instead of trying to hide it.

52
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: You let him know it was his fault, right, what

53
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: happens to these nice people?

54
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: No, no, and just we broke up. But the thing

55
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: is he must have told people in the office, because

56
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: suddenly everyone in the office knew, and everyone was being

57
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: really cold to me.

58
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: That's not fair.

59
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: You know. I'd come into a room and they'd walk out,

60
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: and I asked for help on projects and they'd leave

61
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: me hanging a long.

62
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 4: Wow, I mean work with like judge people now, I

63
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 4: mean at least judge behind your back to your face.

64
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys, it was like weeks I was excluded

65
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: from the office.

66
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: Did it finally blow over?

67
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: Well, honestly I wanted to quit. Is that it was

68
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: really bad, but I didn't think I could get the

69
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: same kind of money elsewhere. It was really good job.

70
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: And so this is.

71
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 3: Why, like dating in the office is so tricky.

72
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

73
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: Don't cheat on people, but that's just happens.

74
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 3: People make mistakes.

75
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: People make mistakes, you know, not everyone.

76
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: I've never cheated, I know is perfect.

77
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: I'll never find someone to love me. But so you

78
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: said you wanted to quit it was that bad.

79
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, I wanted to quit. So one day I

80
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: was in the bathroom and I saw some graffiti on

81
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: the wall, and it kind of gave me an idea.

82
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: What was your idea this number?

83
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: I actually wrote something on the stall door, something really

84
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: offensive about myself.

85
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: Oh you about yourself?

86
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: About myself? Yeah, And I really kind of did cross

87
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: the line with the language.

88
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: You punishing yourself. I don't think you need to.

89
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: You came clean, yeah, from the kind of cathartic though,

90
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: just to get those feelings.

91
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: I just I kind of wanted to see what would happen,

92
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: if anything would happen, And something did happen. Someone came

93
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: to me, someone came to my desk and she said,

94
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: you know, I haven't I don't know if you've seen,

95
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: but somebody wrote something on the wall about you, and

96
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: she showed me what it was. And I had to

97
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: kind of fake that I didn't know it and burst

98
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: into tears and all this kind of stuff.

99
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 5: Did you do it to get sympathy from people?

100
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: No? I just I did it to see what would happen.

101
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: It was also kind of therapy for me just to

102
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: kind of laugh, you know, But it just blew up,

103
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: Like my boss launched an investigation into.

104
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 5: Who did this, Like, please don't do a handwriting match.

105
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: And it's, you know, one of those single use bathrooms

106
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: anyone can use, so they thought maybe my ex boyfriend

107
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: had done it.

108
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: You're saying that you didn't have that plan the whole.

109
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: Time they had this big meeting. They called everybody in

110
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: and they had this big meeting about respect in the

111
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: workplace and all this stuff.

112
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 5: And they didn't discuss why you were I mean.

113
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, all the things that I had said about myself.

114
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, though, everyone in the office has

115
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: started treating me nice again.

116
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it makes sense because it's like, oh, we

117
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 4: were too hard on it, and what happened doesn't deserve that.

118
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 2: Nobody should say that stuff about her unless it's herself.

119
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, and honestly, things have been fine. They've been great

120
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: ever since. Oh my god, I'm like really torn because, yeah,

121
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: it was a horrible thing to do, but I also

122
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: don't dread going to work every day.

123
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: You better hope they never find out, because that is

124
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 4: going to be terrible.

125
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: I don't know. It kind of gave me some good

126
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 2: ideas for what to write in our bathroom, cheated, get

127
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: some respect around this voice.

128
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 4: Finally, even though that's a unisex bathroom, we leave it

129
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: for you. It's just.

130
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: The text in the seven eighty five nine too. If

131
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: you have a confession you've been holding on to, we'll

132
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: hide your identity, mask your voice, and make you the

133
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 2: next mass speaker. Phone taps coming up next
