00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.279
Welcome back Internet frenzy. How we doing this

00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:06.919
week is rare rare solo episode from your boy

00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:10.460
It's officially October. So welcome. Welcome

00:00:10.460 --> 00:00:13.199
to October one and all we're gonna bring the

00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:15.140
spooky vibes this week But I'm just gonna jump

00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:17.980
right into it since I'm by myself. This episode

00:00:17.980 --> 00:00:22.300
is called trick or truth So be ready for some

00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:24.480
spooky I'm telling you, some of these stories

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:27.280
today are their sketch. Before I jump into it,

00:00:27.379 --> 00:00:30.300
quick recap. Last week was summer's wildest Reddit

00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:33.500
stories. And with summer's wildest Reddit stories,

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.240
we have the fiance who got scammed and tried

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:38.659
to cover it up. We have the best friend's boyfriend

00:00:38.659 --> 00:00:42.140
cause snooping for nudes. We have the heartbreaking

00:00:42.140 --> 00:00:45.100
secret of the man dying should he tell his best

00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:47.420
friend. And then we have the TikToker who kept

00:00:47.420 --> 00:00:49.640
filming strangers at the gym without consent.

00:00:49.899 --> 00:00:52.240
Which one do you guys think is the fake? Some

00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.259
of you chimed in. A lot of you chimed in on social

00:00:54.259 --> 00:00:56.640
media. And if you guessed that it was the friend's

00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.700
boyfriend snooping for nudes, you would be correct.

00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:01.560
Give yourself a pat on the back if you got it

00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:02.820
right. I don't know if any of you are getting

00:01:02.820 --> 00:01:05.620
any any good at this. If you are, good for you.

00:01:05.859 --> 00:01:07.640
The objective is for you to find out which one

00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.959
of these stories is fake written by Chad GPT.

00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:13.019
You're going to wish all of them were fake, but

00:01:13.019 --> 00:01:16.120
they're not. So buckle the frick up. Welcome

00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:19.140
to October. Prepare to be scared. And we jumping

00:01:19.140 --> 00:01:41.109
in. I want to start with one this one's not necessarily

00:01:41.109 --> 00:01:43.590
a Halloween story but a little today I effed

00:01:43.590 --> 00:01:47.329
up and a little bit scary so just kind of ease

00:01:47.329 --> 00:01:49.709
our way into it this one says today I effed up

00:01:49.709 --> 00:01:52.930
by finishing a bottle of wine Last night, my

00:01:52.930 --> 00:01:57.010
friend 28M and I, 27F, had dinner with our coworker

00:01:57.010 --> 00:02:00.010
and his wife, 35M and F. We'd been making up

00:02:00.010 --> 00:02:02.689
excuses to not do so for a while and must have

00:02:02.689 --> 00:02:05.290
finally ran out. My coworker is a nice guy, but

00:02:05.290 --> 00:02:07.909
is very overshary about his very hot and cold

00:02:07.909 --> 00:02:10.289
relationship with his wife who we had never met.

00:02:10.349 --> 00:02:12.430
And we didn't really want the office dinner party

00:02:12.430 --> 00:02:15.110
episode situation, so we decided to just do it.

00:02:15.189 --> 00:02:17.050
I want to preface this by saying even though

00:02:17.050 --> 00:02:19.150
this was a weird and bad experience and they

00:02:19.150 --> 00:02:21.330
are not a good couple, at no point did we get

00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:24.379
DV vibes and I grew up in a DV household so I'm

00:02:24.379 --> 00:02:26.159
sensitive to it. So we get to their apartment

00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:29.020
which is very small and dingy and not a great

00:02:29.020 --> 00:02:31.219
area of town. We were surprised by this because

00:02:31.219 --> 00:02:33.280
we all make pretty good money and know his wife

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.300
does as well. We knock on the door and hear his

00:02:35.300 --> 00:02:37.219
wife saying something like, did you invite people

00:02:37.219 --> 00:02:40.219
over? So we're not off to a great start. He lets

00:02:40.219 --> 00:02:42.840
us in and his wife immediately says, I'm making

00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.099
pasta but my husband didn't tell me to cook for

00:02:45.099 --> 00:02:47.710
four. We say that's fine and introduce ourselves.

00:02:47.930 --> 00:02:50.430
My coworker says, so her husband, don't believe

00:02:50.430 --> 00:02:53.009
anything she says, it was on the calendar. And

00:02:53.009 --> 00:02:55.270
his wife says we don't have a calendar. What?

00:02:55.629 --> 00:02:57.349
We offer to leave and come back another time,

00:02:57.430 --> 00:02:59.530
crossing her fingers that they'll say yes and

00:02:59.530 --> 00:03:01.990
somehow they both tell us to stay and that it

00:03:01.990 --> 00:03:03.750
just won't be a dinner party but we can grab

00:03:03.750 --> 00:03:05.849
anything we want from the fridge. My friend and

00:03:05.849 --> 00:03:08.810
I end up splitting a bagged salad and ask where

00:03:08.810 --> 00:03:11.139
the cups are so we can get some water. I would

00:03:11.139 --> 00:03:13.520
leave. Coworker's wife says, I feel bad for not

00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.539
cooking for everyone. I have some of a bottle

00:03:15.539 --> 00:03:18.099
of really great wine left. You two can split

00:03:18.099 --> 00:03:20.340
that if you want. We agree and she brings out

00:03:20.340 --> 00:03:22.080
the bottle and puts it on the table. There's

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.780
probably less than one glass of wine left in

00:03:24.780 --> 00:03:26.979
the bottle. My friend and I finished the bottle.

00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.360
My coworker has just been smoking outside so

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.599
he's not even in the room and his wife goes back

00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:33.860
to finish cooking the pasta. My friend and I

00:03:33.860 --> 00:03:36.159
sit on the couch for close to 30 minutes. Our

00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.419
coworker isn't back inside yet and his wife is

00:03:38.419 --> 00:03:40.830
still somehow in the other room. Definitely finished

00:03:40.830 --> 00:03:43.349
the wine at this point. Finally, the coworker

00:03:43.349 --> 00:03:45.409
comes back in, goes straight to the kitchen and

00:03:45.409 --> 00:03:47.710
asks his wife, have you been hiding in here the

00:03:47.710 --> 00:03:50.409
whole time? His wife says, they don't like me.

00:03:50.810 --> 00:03:52.710
Finally gets her to come back and she has an

00:03:52.710 --> 00:03:54.990
empty wine glass. She goes to pour herself some

00:03:54.990 --> 00:03:57.009
of the wine from the bottle that was nearly empty

00:03:57.009 --> 00:03:59.770
when she told us to split it and realizes it's

00:03:59.770 --> 00:04:02.449
empty. She says, did you finish this? And we're

00:04:02.449 --> 00:04:05.289
stunned and say, yes. She says, oh, I didn't

00:04:05.289 --> 00:04:08.039
realize you thought you could finish it. And

00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:09.979
because we're both very apologetic people, we

00:04:09.979 --> 00:04:13.099
start apologizing profusely. Ugh. She looks at

00:04:13.099 --> 00:04:15.520
her husband, rolls her eyes, and says, this is

00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.199
the last time you bring people like this into

00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.860
my house, and then leaves. He tells us she's

00:04:19.860 --> 00:04:21.939
going to bed and that we really upset her, and

00:04:21.939 --> 00:04:24.620
then follows her to, I assume, their room. When

00:04:24.620 --> 00:04:26.399
he finally comes back, we tell him we really

00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.519
need to get going, and he starts crying and asks

00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.199
us to please play Mario Kart with him for a little

00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.639
because he's really upset. We feel bad for him

00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:38.600
and do that for a while and then finally get

00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.379
to leave. So this morning at work, my coworker

00:04:41.379 --> 00:04:44.240
comes up to me and says, I have bad news. My

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.040
wife is divorcing me. Even though I really, really

00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.620
think that's a good idea, I'm shocked and sad

00:04:49.620 --> 00:04:51.899
for him. He tells me my wife told me to tell

00:04:51.899 --> 00:04:54.240
you that now you can have me all to yourself,

00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:57.600
which is crazy because I'm a lesbian, which he

00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.540
knows. He says that he told his wife I'm a lesbian

00:05:00.540 --> 00:05:02.720
and she accused him of making it up and accused

00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.879
me through him. of finishing her wine because

00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:08.379
I knew it would be the last straw for her and

00:05:08.379 --> 00:05:11.720
would get her to leave him. This lady is freaking

00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.120
crazy. I'm like, okay, I really can't deal with

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.379
this and I have to get back to work. I also tell

00:05:17.379 --> 00:05:20.019
our HR person about it because I'm worried about

00:05:20.019 --> 00:05:22.600
him, but also not interested in being involved

00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.339
with this. And then the TLDR is today I was accused

00:05:25.339 --> 00:05:27.319
of getting my coworker's wife to divorce him

00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:29.300
by finishing the bottle of wine she told me I

00:05:29.300 --> 00:05:32.819
could finish, which was the last straw for her

00:05:32.819 --> 00:05:35.529
relationship. You've gotta be kidding me. What

00:05:35.529 --> 00:05:37.910
is worse than going over to somebody's house

00:05:37.910 --> 00:05:40.990
and feeling uncomfortable and everybody tries

00:05:40.990 --> 00:05:43.189
to be hospitable, you know, the host will be

00:05:43.189 --> 00:05:44.629
like, oh, do you want this to drink? Do you want

00:05:44.629 --> 00:05:46.430
this to drink? I don't know about you guys, but

00:05:46.430 --> 00:05:48.370
for me, somebody's like, hey, do you want a Diet

00:05:48.370 --> 00:05:51.089
Coke? I love Diet Coke, but the first thing I'm

00:05:51.089 --> 00:05:53.750
gonna say is like, oh, I'm good. Like, no, you

00:05:53.750 --> 00:05:55.750
don't have to give me a drink. This host lady,

00:05:55.990 --> 00:05:57.930
okay, you're here. You're not supposed to be

00:05:57.930 --> 00:06:00.170
here. I didn't make enough spaghetti for you,

00:06:00.230 --> 00:06:02.310
but I have this bottle of wine. You can have

00:06:02.310 --> 00:06:05.149
it if you want. You guys can finish it off. And

00:06:05.149 --> 00:06:07.829
OP is like, cool. There's enough for one glass

00:06:07.829 --> 00:06:10.730
of wine for her and her other coworker to split.

00:06:10.930 --> 00:06:13.149
That's the nail that broke the camel's, or that's

00:06:13.149 --> 00:06:15.949
the straw that broke the camel's back. Somehow

00:06:15.949 --> 00:06:19.069
the host leaves her husband. What's worse than

00:06:19.069 --> 00:06:20.589
being in somebody's house that you don't feel

00:06:20.589 --> 00:06:23.569
welcome in? It's hard enough to accept somebody

00:06:23.569 --> 00:06:25.329
being a gracious host, but then they're like,

00:06:25.430 --> 00:06:27.730
oh yeah, no, you weren't supposed to have all

00:06:27.730 --> 00:06:30.029
of that, that last swig. Somebody commented,

00:06:30.269 --> 00:06:32.509
those people sound like a couple of aliens pretending

00:06:32.509 --> 00:06:35.170
to be human. I hope HR is on your side with this

00:06:35.170 --> 00:06:38.470
situation. Of course, I'm sure HR is on OP's

00:06:38.470 --> 00:06:40.649
side. Somebody else says, don't blame yourselves,

00:06:40.750 --> 00:06:42.730
the relationship had already ended before you

00:06:42.730 --> 00:06:45.589
walked into that house. Of course it did. So

00:06:45.589 --> 00:06:49.110
that's a scary situation, but for different reasons.

00:06:49.649 --> 00:06:51.889
Now that we got that one out of the way, we're

00:06:51.889 --> 00:06:54.509
just gonna move on. The rest of the stories come

00:06:54.509 --> 00:06:57.889
from the subreddit, creepyencounters. This is

00:06:57.889 --> 00:07:00.310
what you came for. Three months ago, I can't

00:07:00.310 --> 00:07:02.310
shake the feeling something bad could have happened

00:07:02.310 --> 00:07:04.730
to me with the customer that was a favorite in

00:07:04.730 --> 00:07:08.050
our store. IF31 was alone at work the other night

00:07:08.050 --> 00:07:10.949
when a customer, male, came walking in through

00:07:10.949 --> 00:07:13.410
our back door. I thought it was strange, but

00:07:13.410 --> 00:07:15.269
let it go and helped him with his purchase and

00:07:15.269 --> 00:07:17.810
we chit chatted. He's a regular customer I get

00:07:17.810 --> 00:07:20.259
along with. He goes to leave and asked me if

00:07:20.259 --> 00:07:22.180
I wanted him to make sure the door he came through

00:07:22.180 --> 00:07:24.860
was actually closed this time and I said yes

00:07:24.860 --> 00:07:27.540
please. So he leaves and I hear the door open

00:07:27.540 --> 00:07:30.180
and close loudly two times as if he was ensuring

00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:33.459
me he was slamming it closed. I called my boyfriend

00:07:33.459 --> 00:07:35.379
and put him on speaker to let him know I was

00:07:35.379 --> 00:07:37.319
going to be later than usual due to the last

00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:39.259
minute customer. We are talking when all of a

00:07:39.259 --> 00:07:41.420
sudden the same customer I thought had left comes

00:07:41.420 --> 00:07:44.240
around the corner from our back room to ask me

00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.459
a follow up question about something really trivial.

00:07:46.699 --> 00:07:49.569
I thought he had left. I have no idea what he

00:07:49.569 --> 00:07:51.790
was doing back there between the two door slams

00:07:51.790 --> 00:07:54.449
I heard and me talking on the phone, but he must

00:07:54.449 --> 00:07:56.209
have been just standing back there for whatever

00:07:56.209 --> 00:07:58.670
reason. After that, I could not shake the feeling

00:07:58.670 --> 00:08:00.470
that something bad could have happened to me.

00:08:00.670 --> 00:08:03.069
80 % of my brain is telling me I'm overreacting.

00:08:03.509 --> 00:08:05.730
That man wouldn't do nothing to me. Then the

00:08:05.730 --> 00:08:08.149
other 20 % just can't stop wondering what the

00:08:08.149 --> 00:08:11.569
F all that was about and I am creeped out. Bruh.

00:08:11.610 --> 00:08:15.149
It could not have been good. That's so sketchy.

00:08:15.250 --> 00:08:17.550
Little Update says, I did tell my boss the next

00:08:17.550 --> 00:08:19.790
day about it. She had me go pick up a doorbell

00:08:19.790 --> 00:08:21.870
from the nearest Lowe's so our delivery drivers

00:08:21.870 --> 00:08:24.069
can ring it for deliveries because our back door

00:08:24.069 --> 00:08:26.410
is staying locked from now on. My boss wanted

00:08:26.410 --> 00:08:28.430
to say something to him the next time he comes

00:08:28.430 --> 00:08:30.670
in, but I told her for us to just let it go.

00:08:31.009 --> 00:08:33.970
We've prevented it from happening again. My ASM

00:08:33.970 --> 00:08:36.370
wants to tell him about himself and how he needs

00:08:36.370 --> 00:08:38.669
to be more self aware and a lot less comfortable

00:08:38.669 --> 00:08:40.860
around there. Thank you everyone for validating

00:08:40.860 --> 00:08:42.899
that small voice inside me. It was absolutely

00:08:42.899 --> 00:08:45.460
not okay with what happened. Part I can't get

00:08:45.460 --> 00:08:47.919
past is the pretending to slam the door closed

00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:50.340
and what may have happened had I just walked

00:08:50.340 --> 00:08:53.460
back there all willy -nilly. No, I've seen way

00:08:53.460 --> 00:08:57.940
too many episodes of I survived of 2020. If it

00:08:57.940 --> 00:09:01.799
doesn't feel right, it's probably not right.

00:09:02.139 --> 00:09:04.620
The fact that the dude was still there, he like

00:09:04.620 --> 00:09:08.059
slams the door all hard two times. and it's just

00:09:08.059 --> 00:09:10.919
hiding out in the shadows back there. I'm glad

00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:13.919
that OP called her boyfriend on speakerphone.

00:09:14.700 --> 00:09:17.600
I think that's what prevented something from

00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:19.779
happening if it was going to happen. Let's find

00:09:19.779 --> 00:09:22.120
a good comment to read. Oh, weird. Somebody's

00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:23.960
saying exactly what I just said. I think something

00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:25.960
was absolutely going to happen and the only thing

00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:27.720
that stopped it was you being on the phone with

00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:29.620
your boyfriend and mentioning the late customer.

00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:31.980
He couldn't just leave because then you'd hear

00:09:31.980 --> 00:09:33.919
the door a third time, so he had to make some

00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.340
excuse, a random question, to come back up and

00:09:36.340 --> 00:09:38.159
acknowledge that he was still there to try to

00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:40.740
play it off. But you're right to wonder what

00:09:40.740 --> 00:09:43.259
WTF he was doing waiting in the back after having

00:09:43.259 --> 00:09:45.980
pretended to leave. Have you come up with a reasonable

00:09:45.980 --> 00:09:49.320
non -creepy answer because I can't? Yeah, exactly.

00:09:49.539 --> 00:09:51.980
There's not another explanation. Somebody else

00:09:51.980 --> 00:09:54.000
says, I don't blame you. That's so crazy and

00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:55.600
appropriate. It's not even funny. It's like he

00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:57.600
wanted to trick you into thinking he left and

00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:59.679
the door was locked and you were safe when he

00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:01.360
had been there the whole time. I hope you speak

00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.240
to your manager about this and no longer stay

00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.279
alone to close because if he wants to get you

00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.669
alone... it could just use the front door. So

00:10:07.669 --> 00:10:09.789
best not to be in this predicament in the first

00:10:09.789 --> 00:10:12.470
place. If this dude really is a creep and he

00:10:12.470 --> 00:10:15.309
wants to get OP alone, he doesn't have to sneak

00:10:15.309 --> 00:10:18.009
in the back door. If she's working by herself,

00:10:18.090 --> 00:10:20.710
she's by herself. He could be the last customer

00:10:20.710 --> 00:10:23.629
in and she's still there by herself. So maybe

00:10:23.629 --> 00:10:26.649
we need to address the closing rules. Maybe people

00:10:26.649 --> 00:10:28.730
aren't allowed to close in retail by themselves

00:10:28.730 --> 00:10:31.269
anymore. Seems reasonable to me, but I don't

00:10:31.269 --> 00:10:32.789
even have to deal with these types of things.

00:10:33.009 --> 00:10:34.809
The next story, we're going to move it right

00:10:34.809 --> 00:10:37.529
along. Weird lady keeps showing up at my door

00:10:37.529 --> 00:10:39.950
in the middle of the night. Not sure what to

00:10:39.950 --> 00:10:42.549
make of this but it's been weird as hell. Last

00:10:42.549 --> 00:10:44.750
week my ring camera picked up a woman standing

00:10:44.750 --> 00:10:47.690
on my porch around 2 30 in the morning. She didn't

00:10:47.690 --> 00:10:49.750
knock or say anything just stood there for maybe

00:10:49.750 --> 00:10:52.350
20 seconds looking at the door then left. I figured

00:10:52.350 --> 00:10:54.330
she was drunk or at the wrong house so I didn't

00:10:54.330 --> 00:10:56.769
think much of it. A couple nights later same

00:10:56.769 --> 00:11:00.070
thing around 1 am this time same woman different

00:11:00.070 --> 00:11:02.909
clothes. She stood there again facing the door

00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.860
didn't touch anything and then just walked off.

00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:08.700
She didn't look homeless or messed up or anything,

00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.220
just normal mid 40s maybe. I saved the clips

00:11:12.220 --> 00:11:14.279
because it was getting weird, but she hadn't

00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:16.340
done anything illegal so I just left it alone.

00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.080
Then early this morning I got up to use the bathroom.

00:11:19.419 --> 00:11:21.519
While I was in there I noticed my phone light

00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:23.500
up on the nightstand through the doorway. When

00:11:23.500 --> 00:11:25.759
I finished I checked it and saw it was another

00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:29.759
ring alert. Same woman, third time in a week.

00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:31.740
I went straight to the front door and opened

00:11:31.740 --> 00:11:34.379
it. She jumped like she wasn't expecting anyone

00:11:34.379 --> 00:11:37.220
to actually answer. Up close, she looked totally

00:11:37.220 --> 00:11:41.379
normal. Clean clothes, hair brushed, calm voice.

00:11:42.059 --> 00:11:44.200
I asked if she needed help or what she was doing

00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:45.980
and she goes, you weren't supposed to answer

00:11:45.980 --> 00:11:49.200
yet. I said, you've come here three times now.

00:11:49.259 --> 00:11:52.019
What do you mean? She got this weird panic look

00:11:52.019 --> 00:11:54.120
and said, I was trying to stop the curse, but

00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.820
you ruined it. Then turned to leave. Maybe it

00:11:56.820 --> 00:11:58.860
was just because it was creepy and like three

00:11:58.860 --> 00:12:01.480
in the morning. but she didn't just walk away,

00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.539
she started running. And not like a morning jog

00:12:05.539 --> 00:12:08.860
or something, picture a haunted scary movie run,

00:12:09.220 --> 00:12:12.919
arm stiff, jerky, it was just off. I don't even

00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.179
have the right words, but the way she ran freaked

00:12:15.179 --> 00:12:17.340
me out way worse than whatever she said about

00:12:17.340 --> 00:12:19.980
the curse. I didn't follow her, just stood there

00:12:19.980 --> 00:12:22.419
watching until she was out of sight. I couldn't

00:12:22.419 --> 00:12:24.460
fall back asleep for the life of me and watched

00:12:24.460 --> 00:12:26.620
the clip multiple times, just not knowing what

00:12:26.620 --> 00:12:28.940
the hell to make of it. Ended up filing a report

00:12:28.940 --> 00:12:31.059
with the cops just to have it documented, but

00:12:31.059 --> 00:12:32.860
they didn't seem too concerned since she never

00:12:32.860 --> 00:12:35.299
tried to get in. Haven't seen her since, but

00:12:35.299 --> 00:12:37.220
I've been checking the camera more than usual

00:12:37.220 --> 00:12:42.240
at night. What? I told Whit I don't even want

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.159
to get a ring doorbell for our door because I

00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.200
can't imagine the weird things we would see on

00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.600
that doorbell camera. This lady just showing

00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.320
up. She's not like touching anything. She's not

00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:55.879
tripping on drugs. She seems like a normal well

00:12:55.879 --> 00:13:00.360
put together. Lady in her 40s. Just facing his

00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:04.240
door and doing nothing for 15 or 20 seconds And

00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:09.460
then she dips three times in a week That is so

00:13:09.460 --> 00:13:11.539
bizarre. Here's a couple comments first one says

00:13:11.539 --> 00:13:13.700
that curse line would have had me sleeping in

00:13:13.700 --> 00:13:16.100
a hotel for a week any chance of some kind of

00:13:16.100 --> 00:13:18.759
mental health thing and she's off her meds and

00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.320
OP responded to it and he said Yeah, that's what

00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:23.659
I'm hoping honestly. She didn't look out of it.

00:13:23.659 --> 00:13:26.600
But the way she talked seemed kind of rehearsed

00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:28.659
Like she's been saying it to herself for a while.

00:13:28.779 --> 00:13:30.720
I don't know. Another person said, you should

00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.320
post the ring footage. Blur her face. I swear

00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:35.379
this sounds like something from a next door post

00:13:35.379 --> 00:13:37.960
in my town last year. OP said, thought about

00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:40.019
it, but the video is dark and mostly just her

00:13:40.019 --> 00:13:42.059
silhouette. You can hear her say something right

00:13:42.059 --> 00:13:44.039
before I open the door though. Still can't tell

00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:46.600
what it is. Okay, this is the last one. Bro,

00:13:46.740 --> 00:13:49.080
that haunted movie run line gave me the chills.

00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:51.500
Once you see someone move weird like that, it

00:13:51.500 --> 00:13:55.779
sticks with you. That's so true. I just pictured

00:13:55.779 --> 00:13:58.580
like, Like the walking dead or something like

00:13:58.580 --> 00:14:01.700
that. Yeah, I would not like that at all He responded

00:14:01.700 --> 00:14:03.600
and said the running is what messed me up the

00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:05.480
most everything else I could rationalize but

00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.720
that run didn't look right at all. Hopefully

00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.220
she broke the curse on homie cuz She she got

00:14:11.220 --> 00:14:14.700
that crazy run curse our last story of the episode

00:14:14.700 --> 00:14:17.899
and I'm scared I'm gonna shit my pants I got

00:14:17.899 --> 00:14:19.919
a knock on the door in the middle of the night

00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:23.120
staying at a cabin in the woods True story a

00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:25.480
few years ago. I had had an extremely stressful

00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:28.279
week at work So I decided to book a cabin on

00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:30.740
Airbnb very last minute for the same night on

00:14:30.740 --> 00:14:33.480
a Friday. Me and my dog packed up and I drove

00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.879
up there about an hour and a half away. I stopped

00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:37.820
on the way and got a bottle of wine in a town

00:14:37.820 --> 00:14:40.259
about 20 minutes from the cabin. Then I went

00:14:40.259 --> 00:14:42.580
and got food at a restaurant down the road. It

00:14:42.580 --> 00:14:45.399
was very small town vibes. I got to the cabin

00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.379
around 745, just enough light out to start a

00:14:48.379 --> 00:14:51.159
fire, which I did. Cabin was down a gravel road

00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:53.039
that was about a five minute drive from the main

00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.539
road. It was pretty secluded feeling. Even though

00:14:55.539 --> 00:14:57.840
in comparison to some actually secluded spots,

00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:00.399
this was only about 20 minutes from like a gas

00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.019
station. There was no cell service near the cabin.

00:15:03.299 --> 00:15:05.519
It stopped a minute down the road in. I didn't

00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:07.679
mind that because it was nice to decompress.

00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:10.000
That's real camping. You can't have your phone

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:11.919
functional if you're actually like trying to

00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:14.200
get away. The reviews of the place were all great.

00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:17.019
It had electricity and a clean updated bathroom.

00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:19.779
Microwave and fridge, nothing fancy but clean.

00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:22.120
It had a nice front porch to sit on and there

00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.299
was windows on every wall of the building to

00:15:24.299 --> 00:15:27.139
see out into the woods around it. The driveway

00:15:27.139 --> 00:15:29.519
came up from the back side of the cabin, stopped

00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:31.899
completely alongside the right. We sat around

00:15:31.899 --> 00:15:35.240
the fire until about 11, 1130. I put it out and

00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.840
I go inside, in bed with the dog, just putzing

00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:40.419
on my phone. The dog keeps becoming alert to

00:15:40.419 --> 00:15:43.899
noises outside, but I took it as it was the woods

00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:47.240
doing their thing. About 45 minutes into laying

00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:49.450
in bed, I heard a light knock at the door. door.

00:15:49.649 --> 00:15:52.490
To say I was effing terrified is an understatement.

00:15:52.710 --> 00:15:55.590
My heart effing dropped into my gut. I didn't

00:15:55.590 --> 00:15:57.629
answer and I heard a light knock again about

00:15:57.629 --> 00:16:00.409
30 seconds later. Now I was wondering if something

00:16:00.409 --> 00:16:03.210
is like wrong with the Airbnb and because there's

00:16:03.210 --> 00:16:06.029
no cell service the owner can't get to me? Did

00:16:06.029 --> 00:16:08.870
I notice the place was on fire? I don't know.

00:16:09.289 --> 00:16:11.190
In this scenario it all sort of runs through

00:16:11.190 --> 00:16:14.320
your head fast. The door was solid and locked,

00:16:14.379 --> 00:16:16.259
but there was a window to the right of it on

00:16:16.259 --> 00:16:18.940
the porch. I turned the porch light on and peeked

00:16:18.940 --> 00:16:20.919
my head in the window and a guy was standing

00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:23.919
there. He didn't seem scary necessarily. He may

00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:26.159
have been drunk, but he wasn't like smashing

00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:28.700
down the door or screaming. He immediately saw

00:16:28.700 --> 00:16:32.259
me. The windows were like old and shitty so I

00:16:32.259 --> 00:16:34.240
could tell he'd be able to hear me even though

00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:37.600
it was closed. I said, what do you want? And

00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:39.419
he notioned his head towards the door to come

00:16:39.419 --> 00:16:43.409
into the cabin. I said, why? With an attitude

00:16:43.409 --> 00:16:47.029
now because who the f is this guy he says for

00:16:47.029 --> 00:16:52.210
sex Now in my mind I'm like what I told him this

00:16:52.210 --> 00:16:54.409
is highly inappropriate and you need to leave

00:16:54.409 --> 00:16:57.350
right now I have a GPS cell phone will call the

00:16:57.350 --> 00:17:00.450
police immediately If I was alone in the woods

00:17:00.450 --> 00:17:03.990
with my dog and a guy knocked on my door and

00:17:03.990 --> 00:17:07.630
said it was for sex as a Heterosexual male I

00:17:07.630 --> 00:17:10.470
would have I would have said something very different

00:17:11.059 --> 00:17:14.380
Not this is highly inappropriate, but threats

00:17:14.380 --> 00:17:16.980
would have been made. I have a GPS cell phone.

00:17:17.420 --> 00:17:19.980
That's so funny. I didn't have a GPS phone, but

00:17:19.980 --> 00:17:22.500
I've always been a fast thinker. I hoped it would

00:17:22.500 --> 00:17:24.619
scare him off. He quickly turned around and left

00:17:24.619 --> 00:17:27.720
off the porch. The cabin was mostly one open

00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:30.859
room. I quickly laid down in the bed, heart pounding.

00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:33.460
I didn't know if he was going to go get a gun,

00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:36.900
something to break in with. Directly across the

00:17:36.900 --> 00:17:38.940
bed from me is the window that looks out into

00:17:38.940 --> 00:17:41.210
the driveway. I can see the running lights that

00:17:41.210 --> 00:17:42.990
turn on when your car doesn't have the lights

00:17:42.990 --> 00:17:46.549
actually on. I could see them backing up. I laid

00:17:46.549 --> 00:17:49.250
in bed in fear for about three to four minutes,

00:17:49.609 --> 00:17:51.470
honestly thinking of stuff I had to use as a

00:17:51.470 --> 00:17:54.109
weapon. I had rubbing alcohol and a lighter right

00:17:54.109 --> 00:17:56.509
there on my bedside table. My plan was if he

00:17:56.509 --> 00:18:00.009
got in somehow to light him on fire. I got up

00:18:00.009 --> 00:18:02.569
after a few minutes and went and pushed a dresser

00:18:02.569 --> 00:18:04.930
and chair in front of the door. The cabin was

00:18:04.930 --> 00:18:07.269
elevated so I wasn't terribly worried about the

00:18:07.269 --> 00:18:10.000
windows except the one on the porch. I laid back

00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.960
down in bed, lights off, terrified and wide awake

00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:16.460
until the sun came up. He never came back. I

00:18:16.460 --> 00:18:18.519
packed up and left as soon as it was bright enough

00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:20.819
and messaged the Airbnb owner as soon as I got

00:18:20.819 --> 00:18:23.140
cell service. They said that nothing like that

00:18:23.140 --> 00:18:24.980
had ever happened and they offered to help me

00:18:24.980 --> 00:18:27.680
file a police report. I didn't because I live

00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:30.259
far away and I think it was a one -off thing.

00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:34.299
Questions to this day for me are how did he know

00:18:34.299 --> 00:18:36.619
I was there? All I can think is he followed me

00:18:36.619 --> 00:18:38.940
from the small town I'd stopped in about 20 minutes

00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:41.960
away. I am a gay man and I'm not necessarily

00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:44.599
feminine presenting, but if you have the eye

00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:47.339
you can tell. I'm assuming the locals must know

00:18:47.339 --> 00:18:50.880
there's an Airbnb there too? And question number

00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:53.440
two is how did he manage to get his car, looks

00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:55.839
like truck headlights, down that road quietly

00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.539
and with no lights on? Did he push it the last

00:18:58.539 --> 00:19:01.509
bit of way? Did I really not notice the running

00:19:01.509 --> 00:19:04.130
lights it was pretty quiet except for the woodland

00:19:04.130 --> 00:19:07.109
noises I didn't hear anyone pull up or walk up.

00:19:07.109 --> 00:19:10.589
What do you guys think? First of all, how do

00:19:10.589 --> 00:19:13.170
you know I was there? Apparently this dude had

00:19:13.170 --> 00:19:16.710
had the gaydar Because I mean he must have known

00:19:16.710 --> 00:19:21.069
at my mind first went to like I Don't really

00:19:21.069 --> 00:19:25.190
know I can't claim to fully understand the ins

00:19:25.190 --> 00:19:28.500
and outs but Is this particular Airbnb? Does

00:19:28.500 --> 00:19:33.519
it have like styling that appeals to gay men?

00:19:33.619 --> 00:19:35.900
Is it like in an area of the world where there's

00:19:35.900 --> 00:19:39.140
more of them? Pretty bold for a dude to knock

00:19:39.140 --> 00:19:41.660
on the door, see another dude look through the

00:19:41.660 --> 00:19:46.240
window. He's like, I'm here to bone you. Really?

00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:50.279
Me? You got another thing coming. Then again,

00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:55.420
I'm not camping with my dog in a cabin. secluded

00:19:55.420 --> 00:19:57.799
in the woods. When it talks about the heart pounding,

00:19:58.299 --> 00:20:01.500
I legit, I felt that. As soon as you're in a

00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:04.000
position where you don't know, like you feel

00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.740
like there might be a threat, it is, it's so

00:20:06.740 --> 00:20:09.019
fast, that adrenaline is just like, boom, boom.

00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:12.119
Whoops, sorry, I hit the mic. Boom, boom, boom,

00:20:12.339 --> 00:20:14.960
boom, boom, boom. Heart pounding. I remember

00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:17.900
there was a time where we were upstairs just

00:20:17.900 --> 00:20:19.519
starting to doze off and all of a sudden there

00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:24.009
was this crash, this such a loud noise that Just

00:20:24.009 --> 00:20:27.730
like clattering all of a sudden and we do own

00:20:27.730 --> 00:20:32.609
self -protection but in this case I didn't either

00:20:32.609 --> 00:20:35.369
didn't think to grab it or I Maybe we didn't

00:20:35.369 --> 00:20:38.470
own it yet. I think we didn't have the gun You

00:20:38.470 --> 00:20:41.730
know what? Yeah, but I've had a bat by my bedside

00:20:41.730 --> 00:20:45.109
forever. So loud noise happens downstairs I grab

00:20:45.109 --> 00:20:47.910
the bat and I'm hustling down the stairs and

00:20:47.910 --> 00:20:51.109
it's like that fight -or -flight mode, but I'm

00:20:51.109 --> 00:20:54.309
thinking fight I'm thinking I have to take a

00:20:54.309 --> 00:20:57.509
swing at someone that's in my house right now.

00:20:57.950 --> 00:21:02.190
Like I have to knock somebody's block off. That's

00:21:02.190 --> 00:21:05.490
a terrifying feeling. And when I rounded the

00:21:05.490 --> 00:21:07.549
corner, I didn't slow down. I didn't like, I

00:21:07.549 --> 00:21:09.529
don't know if he would have heard me just like

00:21:09.529 --> 00:21:13.190
galloping down the stairs, but I round into the

00:21:13.190 --> 00:21:16.410
kitchen and flip the light on. And there's my

00:21:16.410 --> 00:21:20.329
freaking 75 pound golden doodle. And we had left

00:21:20.329 --> 00:21:25.089
a pan of cinnamon rolls on the Stovetop and this

00:21:25.089 --> 00:21:27.769
fool jumped up on the counter put his paws on

00:21:27.769 --> 00:21:31.430
the counter and Slid the pan off the counter.

00:21:31.430 --> 00:21:35.589
So what we heard the clattering was the pan hitting

00:21:35.589 --> 00:21:39.910
the ground and Him scurrying around and we were

00:21:39.910 --> 00:21:41.349
half asleep. We didn't know what the heck was

00:21:41.349 --> 00:21:43.529
going on. That's as much as I could relate I've

00:21:43.529 --> 00:21:45.569
never been in a cabin in the woods and heard

00:21:45.569 --> 00:21:48.559
slight knocking but that is terrifying The second

00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:50.519
question that he asks is how did he manage to

00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:53.279
get his car down the road quietly and with no

00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:56.940
lights on that part is sketchy like He coast

00:21:56.940 --> 00:21:59.819
in i'd have to see the scene to understand it

00:21:59.819 --> 00:22:02.220
better i'm guessing op It was pretty late. Maybe

00:22:02.220 --> 00:22:04.660
op was just kind of dozing off didn't know it

00:22:04.660 --> 00:22:07.099
and the dude pulled up on him Somebody said it's

00:22:07.099 --> 00:22:09.880
an airbnb Could be he's met other persons there

00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:11.980
in the past for hookups. Maybe he was hoping

00:22:11.980 --> 00:22:14.759
you were similarly inclined That cabin may even

00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:17.160
have a reputation for such activities." And he

00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.240
said, my thoughts exactly. This wouldn't be a

00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:21.400
one -off just stating he was there for sex like

00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.240
the person there should already know the drill.

00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:27.380
I don't get that. How is that even a thing? That

00:22:27.380 --> 00:22:30.799
like some thing you toggle on Airbnb now? I haven't

00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:33.480
booked an Airbnb in a while. Somebody said, holy

00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:36.220
shit, that's truly terrifying. I'm glad you and

00:22:36.220 --> 00:22:38.220
your dog were okay. Hopefully he was just drunk.

00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:41.019
Not that it excuses it, but I doubt it. The fact

00:22:41.019 --> 00:22:42.960
that he was lightly knocking at the door freaks

00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:45.170
me out. It's like you wanted to test if you could

00:22:45.170 --> 00:22:47.450
even hear it which you wouldn't have if you were

00:22:47.450 --> 00:22:49.650
sleeping I wonder if you would have tried to

00:22:49.650 --> 00:22:52.289
get in had you not come to the door Usually people

00:22:52.289 --> 00:22:54.450
who do stuff like that are trying to rob the

00:22:54.450 --> 00:22:57.329
place or worse Okay, this is great. I'm gonna

00:22:57.329 --> 00:22:59.869
end with this comment. Somebody says it's the

00:22:59.869 --> 00:23:03.069
bottle of wine You're male. You're not local.

00:23:03.269 --> 00:23:05.789
You drove in with the dog Normally, you'd be

00:23:05.789 --> 00:23:07.990
a couple arriving from out of town buying a bottle

00:23:07.990 --> 00:23:10.730
of wine traveling with the dog or a man with

00:23:10.730 --> 00:23:12.950
a dog buying beer who looked like you were taking

00:23:12.950 --> 00:23:16.170
the weekend to hunt and fish. So valid. Makes

00:23:16.170 --> 00:23:19.569
so much sense. A man alone is a mystery. A man

00:23:19.569 --> 00:23:22.210
alone with his dog is a curiosity without gear.

00:23:22.569 --> 00:23:24.910
But then you buy a bottle of wine. So in a small

00:23:24.910 --> 00:23:27.329
town that's more blue collar, you're likely gay

00:23:27.329 --> 00:23:30.329
by or down low signaling. Then he follows you,

00:23:30.329 --> 00:23:32.730
sees where you're going, an Airbnb, so you're

00:23:32.730 --> 00:23:35.190
there briefly, nobody else shows, no woman in

00:23:35.190 --> 00:23:37.750
her own car, no affair partner, no male partner.

00:23:38.069 --> 00:23:40.779
You're completely alone. I think he gets drunk

00:23:40.779 --> 00:23:43.380
so he can get his courage up because he's closeted

00:23:43.380 --> 00:23:46.380
and there's no LGBTQ scene where he lives and

00:23:46.380 --> 00:23:49.259
goes back out to see if he can hook up. Not smooth,

00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:51.740
maybe it's worked before. Obviously you deserve

00:23:51.740 --> 00:23:54.200
better. I think maybe what's scary is the way

00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:56.619
he must be living his life. Sorry that happened

00:23:56.619 --> 00:23:59.259
to you. Somebody replied to that. We have a regular

00:23:59.259 --> 00:24:01.819
Sherlock Holmes here. Great write up, very logical.

00:24:03.259 --> 00:24:05.420
I'm impressed. You guys heard me just riff on

00:24:05.420 --> 00:24:07.920
that. I don't freaking know how a guy would find

00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:10.559
a gay guy in a small town in the woods in a cabin.

00:24:10.700 --> 00:24:12.940
No service. I thought maybe he could signal it

00:24:12.940 --> 00:24:16.099
on Airbnb or something. But what that commenter

00:24:16.099 --> 00:24:19.160
just said makes way more sense. Way more sense.

00:24:19.539 --> 00:24:22.400
Those are those are my stories. You guys, which

00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:25.079
one do you think is fake? Happy October. Which

00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:27.619

00:24:27.619 --> 00:24:30.720

going to be well into October by the time this

00:24:32.619 --> 00:24:35.279
episode drops. Halloween is one of our favorite.

00:24:35.470 --> 00:24:37.769
