when working from home, I sometimes put thirty minute meetings
down in my office calendar so coworkers won't bug me
while I'm playing with my dog.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Oh, I mean I like that. I don't understand why
people don't all do that. Yeah, if you were one
of those meeting peoples, I would block myself out for hours.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
I feel like that's something you could just straight up
tell your coworkers and they would fully support you. Yeah.

Absolutely, don't tell the manager.

your confession.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Okay, So years ago I went out with this guy.
He was so handsome, he was well traveled, he was
well spoken, he told the best stories.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Oh, you and I went out a long time ago, Danielle.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
I'm really sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
What happened with this handsome, well traveled guy.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yeah, he was a president. To be honest, I was
a little intimidated when we went out, I mean just
to be around him, and I wanted to have something
fun and interesting to say. So this is where I
went wrong. I don't know why, but I lied and

(02:05):
told him I had an identical twin sister.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
What that is a wild bly did just off the cuff.
It just came out of your mouth. Ya.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
You know, I have been watching some of those movies
and just like I thought it was so funny.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
She watched Parent Trap one too many times.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, to be fair, I did want to be friends
with Lindsay Lohan after I saw the Parent Trap. I
thought she did seem very fun and she was actually
while she.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Was fine, Yeah, a little bit too much.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
You brought her good size.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, so you told this new guy that you met
that you have an identical twin even though you don't.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
The crazy part was like when I told him, I mean,
he loved it. He thought it was the coolest thing.
And we had seen each other again and again. I
didn't expect it to be a relation show.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
No, you guys like, oh wow.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
I mean at some point he's gonna come over to
your house and be like, why aren't there any pictures
of you and your siste.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Except that I got really good at photoshop.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
And.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Photos of you and a twin. We'll just copy paste
yourself in a different outfit, tiny tattoo.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, yeah, oh wow, Alexis has actually done this before.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
It seems like this is.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
All right.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
So you're lying to him on multiple fronts.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Now, holy cow, this is getting deep.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Yeah. And it went on for almost two years. I
really was falling for him.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Oh my god, Wait, did he never meet your family?

Speaker 4 (03:44):
I kept finding excuses for him to not meet my
twin and not meet my family.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
It seems sketchy, like if I was him once or
twice as fine, But eventually it's like, why are you hiding?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Like what's going on.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
See, I feel at that point you have to turn
your twin into a toxic person that you had to
cut out of your life.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Oh you know what I mean, we don't talk. She
was the yang. I was the yank to our twin ship,
So that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Did you get found out? What happened?

Speaker 4 (04:16):
So basically I fessed up. I mean things were getting serious.
I was afraid he was about to legit proposed.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
I didn't know what else to do, so you told
him the truth?

Speaker 4 (04:34):
So I told him and there were a lot of tears.
I confessed everything. It was me was kind of like
a stunned silent, which was awful.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I mean, how could you ever trust you again? You
know that would be so hard.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Well, that's basically what happened. He said, you've been lying
me for two years.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Did he say it like you said it? Or was
it like, wait a second, for two years?

Speaker 4 (05:09):
You dog you?

Speaker 2 (05:11):
I mean it could have been like April fools.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah, played the long game on you.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
No, Oh, I wish. He was so disappointed and said
we needed to take a break, that he needed time
to think. Yeah, So, as you can imagine, he didn't
think he can continue the relationship.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
So what I'm hearing is I got a single lady
on the line with a twin sister. Oh, I mean
if he believes it on his own. You didn't tell you?

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, so okay, you said that that happened years ago.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
How are you doing now?

Speaker 4 (05:49):
Well, I really was heartbroken, but I learned a super
important lesson about being authentic and the power of being
your true self in relationships.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Well, hopefully you'll start a new relationship soon and it'll
go great.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
And you actually I was able to move on. I'm
happily married now and things are good, but it will.
It was a chapter that I've had a little shame about,
so I feel better confessing it.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Oh, ask your sister for permission before.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Or is it Your husband has a twin brother that
you've never met before.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
