Speaker 1 (00:00):
My coworker excluded me from his wedding because I'm single.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
That's so rude.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
Singleism. Don't do it, kids.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
So I've been working for my company for seven years now,
five of which have been spent on my current team.
There are fifteen people on it, and I'd say we
are all pretty close relatively speaking. I have a coworker
named Bob thirty three mail disgusting, who joined the team
when I did. By the way, this comes from Weddings
Invite sixty nine and if you want to send in
your story, go to our slash Okay story time. Yes,

(00:28):
that rhymed boom. During the pandemic, he announced to everyone
on a Zoom meeting that he was now engaged.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Hooray, Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
But fast forward to this January and Bob says that
his wedding would be held in September of this year
at a really beautiful winery. About five months ago, the
invite started coming in for everyone on the team but mine.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Oh what everyone on the team?

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Everyone but mine but mine?

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Sophia, what did you do? I waited a few weeks, okay,
but nothing came. So I went to Bob and asked
him if my invite got sent out. Oh put a
very cringey icy the comments. If you see what's about
to cringely happen. He gave me a solemn look and
told me that I wasn't invited because of a spacing
issue that just.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Hits just a dagger to the heart when everyone else
is invited.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
But you spacing issue. Wouldn't that be good because you're
one person?

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, yeah, because it's easier.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Hey, there's an odd table boom. Put him in.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
My other John two scared Sophia, frightening my face, spitting
out fortune cookies was to intimidating. He said he tried
to make it work but he just couldn't and hoped
that I didn't take it personally.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
I would take it intensely personally.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
He also said that I'd be sure to get wedding
favors and a piece of.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Cake that's like rubbing salt on the wound.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah, just like just yeah, just don't even do that.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
He also asked me to keep it to myself and
please not make a big deal out of it. I
honestly didn't know what to say, so I guess I
just said okay and walked away.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
I won't lie. I was upset.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
I hate feeling excluded, and it was doubly worse because
everyone else on the team was going except for me.
And honestly, I really like weddings. They're usually very fun.
I kept it to myself, but I wasn't happy. The
day of the wedding came three weeks ago and it
went by without a hitch.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Everyone on my team had a grand time and said
it was beautiful.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
The food and party was great as well, and apparently
everyone got a dozen fresh apple cider donuts. Everyone got
a dozen fresh apple side That is a fy your.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Wedding party favor man, And I never even got that
cake or wedding favors.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
By the way, if anyone told me, just in general
that they got a fresh apple side er donut, I'm
sawing angry any circumstance, and I don't get one on
the floor.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Honestly, they should be in jail. They should be How
dare they think it's legal to tell the Queen?

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Hey, I am eating an apple sider donut. It's delicious.
I'm loving it. Where's and not one for the Queen?

Speaker 2 (03:01):
What were we taught in school? If you don't have
enough to share it with the class. Don't don't bring
it in.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
That's true. Don't bring it up in Florida.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
They just said, hey, if someone brings in something, then
just defend yourself.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Just stand your ground kids, That's what they told us.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
They said, stand your ground because they will attack you
for what you have.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Fool, stay in your ground. That's what they said to
the chun Florida education system.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
So at work the following Monday, my team member Sherry
told me that everyone was confused.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
As to where I was. Apparently Bob said I was
sick and couldn't make it.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
You're gonna lie, You're gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Come on, Bobby, Bobby, Bob, you are doing f up
after f up, I was confused and then pissed. I
straight up told her I wasn't invited and left it
at that. She looked shocked and asked me to confirm,
and I said, yes, I wasn't invited. Well, Sherry told someone,
because about five people asked me if I wasn't invited,
and I said it was true. Today was Bob's first

(04:01):
day back after his honeymoon, and it must have gotten
back to him that I spilled the beans.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
He approached me.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
In the break room, and he was upset that I
told Sherry that it wasn't a big deal. I missed
the wedding. I said, how would you like to be
excluded from something everyone else is going to. We went
back and forth a bit before Bob walked away. I
was pretty upset, so upset that my project manager came
to ask me if I was okay because she heard
about me not being invited. I didn't want it to
go this far, so I said yes. But other team

(04:30):
members came up to me and said that Bob should
have invited me, and it was wrong that he didn't.
At least the teammates got crazy.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
You've got a consensus among the team that you should
have been there, so you should feel vindicated, even if
you don't have your donuts.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
That is true.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
That is true, and we should feel vindicated that the
s the other Queen Hannah has donated forty dollars in
the members only Life, Ladies and Gentlemen. Hannah, the mother
freaking goat who needs no words to prove her go
to not a word.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Not a single peep. But we will get back to
the story.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
So look, I realized that it was his wedding day,
and he's allowed to invite who he wants, but I'm
allowed to be upset that I wasn't invited? Right, So, Reddit,
am I the a hole for telling people that I
wasn't invited to the wedding and being.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Upset about it? Edit?

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Sorry, I forgot to put in the original post that
I am a thirty year old male quick atit to Wow. Guys,
thanks for the support. My inbox is not banging for mercy.
We have an update after this. But let's answer Opie's question.
Is he the a hole?

Speaker 2 (05:32):
No, because it's not like he went around and just unprompted,
said yes, I wasn't invited to this wedding. Where's my
note at? He didn't do that. Someone said, hey, like
why weren't you at the wedding?

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Or heard you were sick?

Speaker 2 (05:44):
You're feeling better? He was like, oh no, I wasn't invited.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Simply the truth. He didn't stir the pot anymore, simple facts.
Talk to me.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Question, Yes, Devil's advocate. Two things. One is he weird too?
Did the bride he had a weird feel from him
at a work party and is like, oh I don't
like him, don't buy him.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Three the bride is in love with.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Him, intrigue. Totally possible that we have a bad narrator here.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
That's a conspiracy theory. So for you, that's yeah, it's you.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
I see you.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
What did you just get those confused?

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I see you the bride going to say that I
love you.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
It's a conspiracy theory.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
No, that's a nice but so far, Yeah, I mean,
it's totally possible that there's a bad narrator here as
of now, just totally just having to guess from what
we're going on. I'm gonna say that OPI seems like
a pretty chill, rational dude.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
But it seems like he's well liked within the office.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Everyone's asking Hi about oh hey, they're like because they
were like, oh man.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
I missed you. Yeah, essentially, yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Wouldn't do that to someone I didn't like. I probably
wouldn't have brought up the wedding at all if I
didn't like them.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
But it is possible.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Maybe in this update we learned that op is actually
for Coca Buffs. We don't know, but there's only one
way to find out.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Updates.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
I want to thank you all for the responses, especially
for the wedding invites.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
That is fire.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
I'm just getting tons of wedding You know what I want.
I don't want a wedding invite. I want a donut.
Where is my fresh apple cider donut?

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Sophia's like inbox full of wedding invites. I want an
inbox full of freakin' donuts.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Yeah, Like, that's.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Clearly the worst thing that happened in this story.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
I really wanted a donut.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Right, doesn't that sound great?

Speaker 3 (07:23):
This is tough, This is tough.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Anyways, Well, I have an update to the story, and
it took an interesting turn. You see, Bob and I
were in the office today. He came to me and
asked if we could talk. He asked if we could
clear the air over some drinks with his wife after work,
and I said okay. After work, I met Bob and
his wife Pam in the bar. They both apologize for
not inviting me and making me feel excluded. Bob apologized

(07:45):
for lying and getting mad about it. The reason they
didn't invite me is because they didn't want single guys
at the wedding. They went to a big wedding back
in twenty nineteen. We're getting some explanation that was ruined
when a bunch of wasted single guys started hitting on
all of the women there. A few of the boyfriends
and husbands got pissed and it turned into a big fight.

(08:06):
People were arrested and it completely ruined the wedding.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
What I feel like, that's not that's not them being single,
It's just them being terrible, Sophia.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Two things happened. One there were single men there. Two
they got wasted, hit on a bunch of women and
ruin the party. Therefore, every if you are a single man,
you will go to a wedding, you will get wasted,
and you will ruin it.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
That's a fact, does it.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
That's called correlation, right, No, I'm correlation, not causation.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
No, No, it is facts. It is facts.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
See another example for you, John Riley, Sam going to
our our good friend's wedding in the summer.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Right yeah, John and Riley not single. We are committed.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Sam.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Well, well, now get arrested.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
It is Austin they get they get so anyways, just kidding,
I love you Sam, So a.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
What if we could get him arrested? That would be
so funny, just to prove the story, right.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Just to prove that the point is true.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
What could he get arrested for and be okay with
mine's urinating outside? I'd be all right with that.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
I'm going to pull a you and get back to
the stories I'm going to produce myself right here, yo.
So I found it hard to believe, but they showed
me a couple of Facebook videos of them at a
wedding and it looks like a dang Royale rumble going on.
I was even shown a few Facebook statuses confirming their story.
Pam said that she was sort of traumatized by this

(09:31):
and swore they'd have no single guys at their wedding
so stupid. Well, the wedding came and Pam stuck to
what she said. Only family couples, single women, or trusted
single men were to be invited.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Ooh that see, but that burns. That burns because you're
not a trusted single man.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Pam said that there were only about ten single guys
there and they were all family members or groomsmen. She
said that the party turned out amazing this way since
women didn't have to worry about being hit on. Pam
said it truly wasn't personal and that he's so sorry
for not inviting me, but would do it again. I
asked if she and Bob didn't trust me enough to
control myself. She said that Bob vouched hard for me,

(10:11):
but she was sticking to her principles. The compromise was
that she'd have to explain it if anyone asked, and
that Bob got to choose the honeymoon destination.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
It seems like she didn't explain it though, or I
think it was like asked her directly.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Perhaps she'd have to explain it if anyone asked, so,
which is exactly what happened.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, so oh oh now it's happening.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah, because Op asked. Yes, Bob was like, hey remember that, Yeah,
made you promised.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
I feel like they should have preempted this. Yeah, so
that people aren't like.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
What the heck? True? True? Yeah, Bob told the truth. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
If we're going to say it anyways, you might as
well do it before people are.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Not a spacing issue.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yeah, Come, I don't lie currently.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
She said that she had a sister around my age
and I was just her type and she wanted.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
To keep her away from me, lock her away.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
I was a little offended at that, but she says
that it's for my own good.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
I know what's best for you, OPI. Her sister is
a little bit of a salute her words, not mine, yoinks,
and she didn't want to get her hooks in me
again her words. Wow. Bob said he should have.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Handled it better, and he wanted to be honest, but
it wouldn't have made much of a difference, so he
hoped I wouldn't mind as much. Plus, he figured I
wouldn't want to go to a wedding as a single
guy anyways.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
What but isn't that like the thing, like you go
to the wedding.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
That's the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
That's like, there's so many movies about this. Four Weddings
at a Funeral. Didn't like that movie.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Actually, I haven't seen it. It's just a bunch of cheating.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
All the all the.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Wrong comps are cheating. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
I know all of them have cheating in it, and
I hate it. Why it pisses me off?

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Why do they do with Sophia?

Speaker 2 (11:49):
I don't know. I'm like, is this romantic?

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Can we just find someone and be with them and
not come on? Anyways? Also, Amelia hamp he should ask
for compensation.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Donutsy, Oh my gosh, yeah, you should say, hey, yeah,
totally get it, but you promised I.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Wouldn't get cake.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
You want to settle out of quarantine. Here's my deal,
one hundred apple cider donuts.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
I want a Baker's one hundred.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
A Baker's one hund clean and simple.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
I told them that I was kind of hurt they
thought that I would act like a creeper at their wedding.
Pam assured me that she saw I was a nice, smart,
funny guy, but she just wanted to make sure their
wedding went off without a hitch. They promised to make
it up to me, but I told them it wasn't necessary.
Pam insisted on it and said that I had to
know how sorry she was, so we made plans to
have dinner at their expense at a very nice restaurant

(12:34):
in the city this weekend. So in the end, I
guess it wasn't anything I did, but I still feel
kind of insulted, but I guess I get a free
dinner out of it.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
At it. There are a lot of comments here suggesting
that I'm being naive, a door mated and letting them
off easy for basically calling me a creep. I won't lie.
I think you all might be right.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
I do believe in the high road on most occasions,
but I don't think this should be one of those times.
As a side note, I don't believe that wanting to
see the best in people or taking them at their
work makes you naive. I had a call an hour
ago with my project manager and explain the entire situation.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
She advised me to go to HR and make.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
A complaint since it could lead to a hostile work.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
Environment, because it could get to favoritism too as well.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Ooh, I have a meeting with him set on Monday.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
I don't really want to make a formal complaint just
to have it on file in case anything happens. To
be honest, I don't think it will. Bob doesn't seem
like that kind of person, but I've been wrong plenty
of times before. As per the advice here, I won't
be going to dinner with Bob and Pam. I will, however,
insist on a public apology that doesn't imply that I'm
a creep, and insisting on some fresh apple cider donuts

(13:38):
who not store bought but fresh, trash fresh. Thank you
for making me see the truth throughout it, although I'm disappointed,
I'm turning down some wagoo steak, so all of you
owe me one haha. And then final update. I can't
post any further updates on the sub. I'll post more
on the profile and guess what OP gives us yet
another update.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
We're not even halfway through the story.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
If it's not a recipe for an apple cider Dona,
then I don't want this.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
Update, Sophia.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
I want to pour some bone chilling rain on this parade,
some bone chilling rain. I'm gonna give you, Sofia, Sofia, Sofia.
I'm gonna give you a real life example, a firsthand,
real life example. Yeah, I worked at a company. Yeah
there was someone hired there literally the same time as me.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
But work.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Let's let's call this person Sarah, right, Sarah's getting married Sarah,
and then Sally right, Sally what we were hired around
the same time.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
Those are my cousin's names.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
I won't I won't say anything further than that.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
But Sarah, Sarah invited Sally to the wedding, right, they
did work closer together. I did not get invited to
the wedding. I was at the time a twenty year
old mate.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
Hot. That is not what I was going for. Hot.
It was like, I am a prime physical condition, you know,
I'm like basically a college kid.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, both we probably I worked with Sarah. Let's ten
months something like the close to a year before the
actual wedding happens, so obviously the planning and the invites
is way before that all of that. Jazz I did
not receive an invite to this wedding.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Was I kind of hurt? Yeah? I was like, ah, dang,
that would have been fun.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Like all my friends that worked there, like or a
lot a lot of other people I knew that were
mutuals and everything were going right. However, I was like,
you know, it's her wedding, Like she probably wanted to
keep it kind of small, so I said, you know,
I didn't say anything to her or anything, you know.
So I'm kind of a little bit struggling here. I do, like,
I hate the reason they didn't invite him. I hate
that they invited everyone else. I hate that Bob Liede,

(15:33):
I hate that the PAM was like like again, insinuating like.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
All of this stuff.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
But if we get to the bottom line, could we
not say that, hey, this is her wedding and whatever
she wants to do, just go with I think it.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Is No, I think it is totally her choice. It's
just kind of rude. Like it can still be rude
and still fully be her choice.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah, like, hey, you are well within your right to
do this, but it also is rude. Two things can
be true at.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
The same time.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, Like, I don't think you could, you know, necessarily
go out and like complain to everyone at the office
and be like this is unacceptable.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
But you can be like that was kind of, you know,
kind of messed up. I agree with this take. I
agree with this take. Excellent, But we're going.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
To get into and see what because we're not even
halfway through this. Oh boy, we've got a lot more.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
We've got a lot of recipes to get through.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
We are cooking, so buckle UPO update to more context.
Hey everyone, thanks for stopping by. I am only allowed
one update here, so I'm going to provide more detail
with a self post. Unfortunately, there isn't an update to
the story yet. Honestly, this thing is stup a hack
and I really just want to move on and forget
this whole thing. Happened, but reality is often disappointing. But

(16:44):
first I want to clarify a few things. I had
to omit a lot of information because of the character
counts for the story.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
I got a few.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Posts and dms asking why I felt entitled to be invited.
I want to make it clear I don't feel entitled
to anything. Yes, I wanted to be invited, but as
I said, if they had been honest with me from
the beginning, I wouldn't have minded as much. They were
allowed to do what they wanted on on their wedding day.
My problem was the subterfuge. I hope, I said, They're right,
used to mask their choice.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
What does that mean?

Speaker 2 (17:08):
But like deception, I learned.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Two new words. What shog run roaho.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
Rogan something like that something.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
And subtrifuge subterfuge, which is a great word. I've heard
it a million times, but I never actually knew.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Yeah, it's like like you're doing You're pulling all these
tactics to like.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
Run rugshod, run rugshod, run rugshod. I mean, I don't
know what's to completely ignore the opinions, rights, or feelings
of others.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Someone says rugs Jellybus says rugshod.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, interesting learning words today. I'm not usually this indecisive,
but this is a weird situation and I don't exactly
know how to handle it. And I've never talked to
Bob about women ever. We don't have that kind of relationship.
None of the men on my team do. I think
the women do it amongst themselves, but I can't be
sure about that. I'm choosing to believe Pam about her
experience dealing with men. If recent year have shown us

(18:00):
anything is that we need to believe women when they
say they've been harassed or worse. The trusted men quote
unquote were made up of family members and groomsmen who
were explicitly told.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
Not to flirt with the women.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Pam had to turn away some of her single guy friends,
and Bob had a crap ton of guy friends who
wanted to go, but were also turned away. Bob and
Pam's after party was going for a club vibe. Pam
and some of her friends had very bad experiences being
hit on at clubs, and Pam wanted to ensure their safety.
She got the idea to exclude guys from going to
women only clubs. According to her, the vibe was so

(18:33):
much better when women could get wasted and shake their
booties and not be harassed by thirsty guys, which is
like a totally valid and you know, like this is
the thing that I would appreciate.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Probably yes, But also I'm just like wondering, why are
you friends with people that you think.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Would do this? You know, that's the question that begs
to be asked.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Because like I would say, all of my male friends,
I would trust, like we trust them, all of them
to come to you know, party like this and for
me to not be or my friends to not be harassed.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
So I'm like, that is the question, why are you
friends with these people?

Speaker 1 (19:06):
And apparently Bob had a whole freaking gaggle of them
in a gaggle? So is there is there some misalignment here?
Is there something that's gonna happen between Bob and Pam once? Yeah, Bob,
I don't know. I'm just I'm not saying an icy you,
but I'm saying an icy question.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
Was that? What was that for Riley?

Speaker 4 (19:22):
That's what Bob's gonna doing?

Speaker 3 (19:24):
Bob for Oh, he was just uh.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
Bob's coming gonna come in logging.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
Shout out to Hannah Now.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
The women at the wedding appreciated the lack of guys
on the dance floor, but some complained about the lack
of guys at the wedding because I, like Sophia said,
ratio off, it's a.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Common show up to the wedding, and I'm like, it's
a rendezvous spine, if you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
The Royal rumble happened at the wedding of one of
their closest friends. The friend and her husband were devastated.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
Their wedding was ruined.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
It was so bad they committed to having a five
year val reyne whole getting crazy.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Their wedding was so bad that they that's.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Just run it back. Honestly, was having another wedding at
that point. That's why I would do.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Like that one didn't count everyone who ruined our wedding.
Pay us, Yes, pay us for another one.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
There we go. I like that.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Also, they were stuck with a large cleanup bill from
the venue for damages.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
God the wow, definitely you've been at this wedding.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
I want to see this, I was gonna say.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
I was like, oh, that would be great to be
at this wedding. But actually I don't know if I
would want to be at this wedding given the problem
was women being harass, So may I don't want to
be at the.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Wedding maybe one you want to sit out. As for me,
it was seventy thirty on me being invited. It all
came down to that Pat didn't know me at all
outside of my super Maudio maker level design. Love that
Bob really fought hard for me, but Pam was too unsure.
And then she remembered her sister. According to Pam, although
she loves her sister to death, again, this is her

(20:52):
talking about her sister, her sister is a huge salute
and goes from guy to guy with the change of
the wind.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Which is her right.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah, yeah, yo, Pam is like that Pammy to judging.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Your sister is an adult, Like what do we do?

Speaker 1 (21:04):
And also I'm sorry, but my money is that like
she's actually just like living her life and is like
not that big of a deal at all and nowhere
close to warrant her sister calling her that to a
near stranger.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, this is just like very judgmental, not.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
So just mental.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
It also hurt that you're getting get invited, and you
could have had a date there waiting for you.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yeah, One she tells you you're no invited. Two, there
would be a person there who would be like super
into you.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
Yeah, she'd be so into you.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
Less things even more.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
Wow, dude, good point, Riley.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Apparently I'm dangerously her type and she would have been
all over me. I asked what was wrong with that,
and she said her sister doesn't deserve a sweet guy
like me, and she didn't want her to get her
hooks in me.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Yike, She's like, I.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Love my sister, but she doesn't deserve sweet people.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Golly, Pam, Pam, you can get worse and worse. Yeah,
Macer's racer says, I hate Pam. Dude, this sealed my fate.
Bob said it would look horrible if I wasn't invited.
That's when she came up with a compromise of taking
the heat for it. He was just hoping that I
wouldn't mind not going. Maybe out naive, but I'm choosing
to believe Bob about feeling horrible for not inviting me.

(22:14):
He seemed really broken up about it. Either he's a
dang good actor or he is telling the truth. He
acknowledged that the way he handled it was terrible. According
to him, there was no way of doing this that
wasn't awkward. As for why he lied, apparently he panicked
and couldn't think of anything better than a spacing issue.
Him getting mad at me for not going along with
it wasn't necessarily about me, but being mad at Pam

(22:35):
for putting him in that situation.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Get that much about right.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
He promised to make a full apology in front of
the team when we were all together in the office
again in a few weeks. Pam did say that she
felt terrible about me and the other guys she had
to exclude, but she would do it again to ensure
the safety of the woman around her. She was extremely
insistent on making it up to me. She said that
we should be friends going forward. Offered a nice home

(23:01):
cooked meal to me, followed by some.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
Wine and a round of Mario Kart.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
I'm guessing by the way Opie works on Mario Kart,
which is fire because he said she didn't know me
except for making around.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Maybe they were just playing.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
Yeah, there's it, Like there's like some games on Mario
you can like create levels and everything like that. Yeah,
it's probably a nerd.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
I just got really excited that OPI was Mariot.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
That would have been pretty dang.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
I mean, we can still think that we should play it.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
Okay, we should play should we need to have another
game night? That's true, that's true.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
But you know what I'd be doing if I was OPI,
I was a single guy. Hey, Pam's sister, you want
to play some Mario Kart? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (23:39):
You DM her.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Like, what's up? What's up?

Speaker 3 (23:43):
What's up? Shot a up? You're amazing? And I want
to buy you a dinner and give you the world.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
Yeah, and just be like, oh, do you guys mind
if we do like a double date.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
I think Pam would be like that.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
I think she would be.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
But then but then we get to her, but you
get some blackmail on Pam so that she can't say that.
If she does say something, then you let everyone know.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
I think you just don't go have dinner with Pam.
You just DM the sisters.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
Now we got to make Pam suffer a little bit here.
We're gotta make Pam boil inside, just absolutely rage.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Or one hundred Apple cider donuts. That's the deal.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
That's my deal.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
I get the donuts bore. I say it, I get
to date.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Your sister, or you give me one hundred donuts.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
That's the deal. John?

Speaker 4 (24:27):
How many?

Speaker 3 (24:27):
How many? What?

Speaker 4 (24:28):
How many?

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Are you asking you? What? I think? How many?

Speaker 1 (24:31):
There is no amount of donuts, money, or anything in
the world.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
You don't know how many you could.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
What what are Oh? Hi, I don't think he was
asking I think as how high?

Speaker 4 (24:43):
How many?

Speaker 3 (24:44):
Riley?

Speaker 2 (24:46):
No, this is a terrible No, Riley, why would you
desecrate the donuts?

Speaker 1 (24:51):
I thought you were saying one thing, which was terrible.
You were saying another thing, which is also terrible, which is.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Equally as terrible, but in a whole different way.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
So I am once again going to pull a U
and produce myself back into the story.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
I just want to know.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
So that's when the expensive restaurant solution was offered. Okay,
I accepted because it seemed like a fair compromise at
the time. They didn't even have to really apologize for it.
But they were offering me dinner, so I took it.
I'll take a free, fancy dinner. Yeah, in hindsight, I
shouldn't have, but at that point I just wanted to
get out of there.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
And go home now for shh. So, after reading the comments.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Calling me a doormat, I decided to not accept their
dinner offer.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
So we took it back. We took it back.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
We are absolutely not going to do this dinner. I
called Bob on his work phone to explain my change
of heart. He was disappointed, but understood by reasoning. I
parroted some of the talking points, and he said he understood.
He wouldn't make a big deal out of it and
we could just move on. I thanked him for being
cool about it, and he hung up. I thought that
would be the end of it, but not five minutes
later and Bob calls me back. I grown and pick

(25:59):
up the phone. So surprisingly it was Pam on the
other side.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Pam stays doing too much? What too much?

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Leave this poor man alone?

Speaker 3 (26:10):
We be doing too much.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
She didn't come at me hostile, but she did sound upset.
She wanted to know why I didn't want to come anymore.
I explained what I told Bob about how they basically
insisted I was a creep. I told her I didn't
want to involidate her experiences, but I didn't have to
accept being told I'm a potential predator okay, and I'm
not talking about the movie that I haven't seen, she said,
and that she didn't mean it like that, and she

(26:32):
thinks that I'm a good person, but couldn't risk it
for her wedding. She was practically begging me to meet
her in person to clear the air further. She kept
on saying that we could be the best of friends
if I'd given her the chance to explain better. But
low key, Pam, you already had to sit down to
fully explain.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, you had your moment. You could have taken all
that time in the lead up to prep a response.
You could have invited him to the wedding. There were
a lot of should have, could have, would us. And
also someone earlier in the chat had a good point
of Pam saying that he's too good for her sister,
but also implying that he can't come to the wedding
because he's a creep.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
Yes, so I just don't think they'd like op.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
I think they think OPI's weird, and I think they
won't say it, and they're trying to bribe them with
food to shut them up.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
I will say I do think they're being honest because
of just how quite honestly the detail of what they're saying.
But it's like you can do with what you want
with your wedding. But also Bob, like, I wonder if
Bob had any of his friends at this way.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Yeah, it doesn't seem like none of the men were
allowed to come, or at least like nut like or
single men.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah, it did, like almost zero percent of his single
male friends come. And let's assume he has mostly male
friends because he is a guy that.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Kind of sucks. That would suck, That would suck.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
I said no, thanks, and then I had to go,
but I'm sorry that she went through what she went through.
I ended the call by saying, by the way, I
didn't even get those donuts, and.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
Then I hung up.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yes, priorities, and also, you don't need to be friends,
Like why is Pam so insistent that they have to
be friends. You don't have to be friends. Just apologize.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
She's a people pleaser and she doesn't like when people.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
We could because exactly soul mates don't tell Bob.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Yeah, that's like the people people pleaser one oh one
is when you like hurt someone and you're like, no,
but we can be friends.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
No, we don't need to be friends.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Just just cut it, cut it, cut it cut. It's
been quiet since then, but Bob is back in the
office on Monday, and I fear Pam might do something.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
Drastic bring it.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
I hope this thing is over, but I fear it
might not be. But in any case, I'll update if
anything happens. And there's an update number three, And you
know what, I'm gonna spoil the title. It is Bob's
wasted confession. That is the title of the next update. Sophia,
what do you think the confession is going to be.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
There's a couple options. Yes.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
One, he goes, I hate my wife Pam. Two, he goes,
oh pee, I'm in love with you.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Ooh.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Three he says I always wanted you at that wedding,
but Pam's force my hand. That was kind of a conversation.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
You come in threes, not gonna lie. Number two. Yeah,
number two was kind of speaking to me right now,
drunken confession. I feel like that might be it.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Dude, number Wait, no, I have a better number three.
Number three there were never any donuts.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Now, that would be the saddest thing of all that
would make me bring tears to mind. That would make
me cry, real tears, real tears, ladies and gentlemen. But
we have the answer because good. I'm good for now,
thank you. Maybe after this we have the answer because
we have Update number three, Bob's wasted confession.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Hey everyone, Hi.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
So, as I mentioned in my last update, I reached
out to Bob and explained that I wouldn't be taking
him and Pam up on their weekend dinner offer.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
He was disappointed, but agreed with me.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Pam called me back a few minutes later and fought
hard to keep the plans. I declined and left it
at that, hoping that would be the end of it.
It wasn't, boy, and now this silly drama continues. I
went in two hours early on Monday so that way
I could potentially avoid a Bob after work chat. Those
are the worst chats we don't want to have after

(30:08):
we've worked all day. Surprisingly, Bob came in an hour early,
lining him up to potentially leave with me. Bob looked exhausted,
and I don't mean tired, I mean mentally. I've seen
Bob tired. We've worked many late nights and projects together.
I've seen him hung over. This wasn't any of that.
I almost can't describe it. He just looked worn down.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
Dude, dude, time out, time out? Marriage did this to Bob.
I'm wondering if this one small issue happened between him
and a coworker, what other small issues has happened or
like come up? She was very stern about this part.
She seems like a stubborn person. What else is under
the veil here? Has there been a tsunami?

Speaker 1 (30:46):
He said, many of my single male friends going to
go has he basically had a tsunami of people.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Saying like, hey, why wasn't I invited?

Speaker 3 (30:53):
Yeah, and he's just like, I can't do it, do
this anymore.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
He's like, I wanted them to come.

Speaker 4 (30:59):
Dude, the amount of boys' nights he's not going to
be invited to anymore.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
They're like, wow, dude, you put your put your bros
second and your gardening tools first.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
And Sophia doesn't do that. I don't do that. That's right.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
You heard me, put my gardening tools first. That's right.
She gardens. She plants. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, let it
be known. That's right.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
So Bob shot me a nod sup, and I gave
him one back and.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
We got to work.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
I kept my meeting with or hr rep is a
wonderful lady named Sally. I told Sally the whole story,
and she said, in her fifteen years of work in.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
HRF, she has never heard a more story.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
We shared a good laugh, and she told me that
it would be unofficially logged just in case Bob or
Pam did anything crazy.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
I see you in the comments.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
She told me she thinks that Bob is harmless, but
to keep my eye sharp. The rest of the day
was uneventful. The most interesting thing that happened was I
saw Bob's face buried in his hands for a good
minute or so.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
Dang.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
With two hours to go, I go to the break
room for some water. Bob follows me in and approaches cautiously.
I gave him a surprise look, and he just threw
his hands up as if to say, he's not hostile.
I'm safe. I'm safe. Don't worry, don't worry. I come
in peace. I come in peace. He said. He knows
I'm the last person I want to talk to you
right now, but he needs to talk to me. I said, fine,

(32:14):
but I angled us over to where the security camera was.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Whoa, oh, jeesus, it's getting serious in the bathroom in
the break in the breaker, Oh.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
He was in the bathroom. I was like, oh really.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
I went to the urinal cavage and got a good
full view.

Speaker 4 (32:31):
In a way, I have cameras in my bathroom because
there's not a door to my to my bathroom, and
there's like so many cameras in.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
You that is kind of you have. You have cameras,
very adjacent cameras near your bathroom, near your bathroom.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
But I say, I can't tell if op is actually
like vindicated and all of this kind of like precautions
and stuff, or if Reddit's just getting.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
To him explain that more well, because I haven't really.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Necessarily seen anything from Bob and Pam that seems like
they're trying to interfere with his work life. It feels
like they're.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Just making a mountain out of a mole hill kind of.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
A little bit, Yeah, yeah, a little bit. So I'm
just wondering because it seems like all the Reddit people
were like, don't do this, or your work will be
you know, yeah, infringed, bond, blah blah blah, and I
haven't seen proof.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
Of that yet. Yeah, because like it's better to be
safe than sorry.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
There's other people who didn't get inviting invited to weddings
in the workplace and didn't say anything and it was
it was all fine in the end, just saying some
people have done that.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
So Obie says paraphrasing here, but he said.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
I won't ever speak to your to you again if
you don't want me to, but let me buy you
around and explain all the things.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Pam didn't tell you.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
When we met the other day, Bob sounded desperate, something
I'd never seen from him before.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
Then he hit me with the money quote.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Look, man, I could really use a friend right now,
and I've always considered you a friend who because he
burned all.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Over Ye, I'm gonna say Bob's all saw his friends.
Oh he's the last holdout, and he's like, I've got
one more person that I could possibly convince to be
my friend.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
And you know why he's asking Ope, specifically, he's the
only one he works with. So it's like, hey, this
guy can't fully avoid me, so let me let me
let me corner the one guy I can. You know,
everyone else is just friends. They can just you know,
go and it's over. Well, sorry to disappoint everyone here,
but I'm a global softie. I agreed to talk with him.
I would just out of curiosity.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
I would too, I'd be like, what's the whole story,
what's the teesis? But I told him that there would
absolutely be no more meetings on this situation after this. Yeah,
we gotta put us hope.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
I would be pretty freaking frustrated, Like to go from Heyley,
I was kind of bummed. I wasn't in bet of
the wedding to having a full blown conspiracy. I'd be like,
just get.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
Me the daduts.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
We need to get the CEO involved, We needed to
contact the Secretary of Defense. We need to go to
the highest authority, the LAMB. So he agreed and said
he'd meet me after work. So after work we walked
to our usual bar, the same one that him and
Pam met me with at the first time. I suspected
Pam might be there, but she wasn't. Nevertheless, I kept
my eye open for her. Once we sat down, Bob
apologized again. This one seemed even more genuine than the

(35:02):
first one. I told him that he didn't need to
keep apologizing. I got it the first time. He said
that he had to apologize because there is a lot
more to the story about the wedding than I thought.
Bob explained that he fought Pam like heck to get
her to give up these single men's exclusion, but she
was set on it. They argued for months and a

(35:23):
lot of people offered different solutions. Bob suggested a smaller
wedding with only intimate family and friends, a good idea.
Pam shot that down. She had always dreamt of a
big wedding with lots of people there, and a small
wedding did not bit her dream. Her parents said, why
not hire a security guard. Pam said that she wanted
the possibility eliminated completely.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Married men can also be or like you know, men
in relationships can also be creepy.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
According to Pam's logic, as soon as you are a man,
you married man, you're a sterile frickin' you're just you're
just in a bubble.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
You become Jesus.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
He is and he will not hit on your sister
in law. She said that a few single men could
stand to not be invited to a party for once
in their lives. Heay, did it cured. Bob said that
he had a lot of friends who wanted to come
and that they would be hurt if they weren't invited.
Pam said that she was making sacrifices too, a lot

(36:21):
of her guy friends wanted to come to the party
as well. Bob finally relented and said that if exclusion
were to happen, he wanted nothing to do with that
decision and wanted it to be known that it was
out of his hand. Pam said that she'd take the
heat for it if it came to that, but didn't
think people would go crazy over it. She also gave
Bob the choice of their honeymoon destination since he was

(36:41):
making a big sacrifice. They went to the French riviera
in case anyone was curious.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
That's nice, That is nice. Where's my donuts? Bob said.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
The wedding reception and party were amazing. He said that
so many women were there but were wasted off their
behinds and falling over themselves. Apparently they did feel safe,
but a wasted vocal minority was complaining about the lack
of hot guys to dance with.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
A complete opposite happenings.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Yeah, there weren't men to hit on and to getting
their business. Bob even laughed because one of them was
going around calling it a lesbian wedding since there were
only women there.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
Oh and some.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Women were absolutely hitting on the handful of single guys there.
But Pam didn't mind that as much.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
She was like, those men went through my very very
hard to get through.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
What's it called the ten step Pam process for not
being a creep.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
According to Pam.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
It's a very long interview process. There's a lot of
things to go through. I do a full background check
in all of them.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
Point one percent graduation, right.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
I actually put them through like the what is it
the twelve Herculean tasks that he has to do? You
know that Hercules had to do all this? Oh yeah,
basically he has.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
To do all these like really hard tasks. The twelve
Herculean tasks.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
I think they're twelve. There might have been ten, fourteen,
we don't know quite remember, but we're saying twelve. We'll
say twelve. We're saying in twelve, it's your nice number.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
Come on.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
Bob said that he wasn't rubbing it in, just setting
up a point. So after the honeymoon, they came home
to what Bob described as a pr firestorm. Apparently Pam
had lied to her guy friends about why they weren't invited.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
Even after she had promised to tell them the truth.
She has a lie and Miss Jaybird, this is vetting,
which was the word I.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
Was betting for process vetting process.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Thanks Miss Jaybert one of her close friends, and let
it slip the real reason they weren't invited.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
They were effing furious.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
She was flooded with angry calls and messages from her
friends about Pam, essentially calling them potential predators. Pam explained
her position multiple times to her friends.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
But it fell on deaf ears. Yeah, it's it's.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
One thing for ope, the acquaintance coworkers. Yeah that, but
close friends, Yeah, that's tough. She has lost many friends
over this. One of the guys said, if you think
that I'm a boop, then why the f are we
even friends?

Speaker 3 (39:11):
Yes, a little too far, but like.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
But like to I think it is. It is an extreme,
yeah way to say it, but I understand the point
of Like, if you think I am a creepy person,
why would you ever be friends with me?

Speaker 3 (39:23):
Just don't talk to me.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Just don't don't build up this expectation that like, we're
cool with each other. Yeah, come on, Pam has been
crying for days and her work life has become terrible.
She might even need to leave her job over it.
By this point, Bob had had a few hard drinks
and was tipsy, so he let loose a little more.
The tea has not been fully sipped yet. He said

(39:46):
that her decision had cost him friends of his own.
So many of his guy friends were furious to learn
they were excluded, and for the reason why. On the
day of the wedding, about six or so of his
closest friends who were excluded decided to go on a
fishing trip as they screw you.

Speaker 3 (40:01):
To Bob and Pam the cherry.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
On top of that, petty cake, they decided to donate
five hundred dollars and some items to a local women's shelter.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
Okay, I love that Bob.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
Bob was devastated and none of the guys are returning
his calls their messages.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
They're like, we support we support women so much. They
were donating the women's shelter.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
How much money did you spend on your wedding and
not the women's shelter.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Yeah, you got you support women. Where's your donation.

Speaker 3 (40:32):
And we can catch fish.

Speaker 4 (40:34):
I will say if I had a friend and a
friend group and they did like they went off the
deep end and they let their wife kind of make
this call for him, I'd be like, dude, we lost
you man, where's my where's my buddy at? Where where's
Bob at? Bob's gone?

Speaker 3 (40:46):
I don't know, I don't know where's I don't know
who Bob is anymore.

Speaker 4 (40:49):
Pamchin there, Pam's calling the shots.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
Yeah, yeah, hey, Pam, Hey, nice to meet you. Yeah,
that's what you are, Bob. You're PAMs. Pam, You're just
Pam two point Oh, you're just Pam two point Pam,
little puppet exactly, Ham was a little puppet.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
Bob was devastated that none of those guys are returning
his calls or messages. Even their families are upset with
them over their exclusion. Pam's parents are publicly supportive, but chastise.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
Her behind the scenes. Behind closed doors, she.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Doesn't have anyone but her bridesmaids at about three of
her friends who believe in her cause. Bob said that
at one point that Pam was hysterical and screaming.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
Why couldn't anyone just understand.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
My point of view?

Speaker 1 (41:26):
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. But there was
more to this crazy story.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
Oh boy.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
You see at this point, we were about an hour
in and Bob was nice and tipsy, so I pride
for more information.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Op, He's just like getting Bob more and more drinks.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
Yeah, it's like and.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
He was divulging all of the secrets to me, and
he's like, what else.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Did your friend? What else is on your main mind? Bob?
What else you want to get off your check?

Speaker 2 (41:53):
And this is all happening in the breakroom, no, in
the bar. I was like, has he got all of
this on video?

Speaker 3 (41:59):
Dude?

Speaker 1 (41:59):
He's just throwing He's just throwing back the hard seltzers
from the office fridge.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
You know. So I've let me tell you my vibe.
She doesn't not my friend. She thinks that they and
she hates you.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
And their boss comes and he's like, hey.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
Hey, boss, you something. You're my best friend. Wipe it
is my guy right here.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
He's like, Boss, you're my best friend too. I've always
thought that I love you, Boss, I love you. I'm
sorry I'm sorry. Sorry, I didn't invite you to my
wedding either.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
Also, I literally just put together something in my brain
that is maybe relevant. But I'm just proud of myself
for realizing this. OP has a team of fifteen people.
It's probably a majority women team because only women and.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
Men relationships were allowed to go. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Probably, so that means OPI he's the only single guy
in the whole team, which means it's probably a majority
female team.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
Brilliant. I just realized that, just.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
A little more information for y'all some more.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
I was proud I had reading comprehension and ig you extrapolated.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
I extrapolated, and that's that's a sign of genius.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
I had to keep myself a little some there. Thanks
for indulging me.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
So I I took, I did, I did, and I
did not. I don't know what I got. Who knows
why you do that?

Speaker 3 (43:15):
Same? Sorry?

Speaker 1 (43:17):
Ley so Bob said that at first, Pam was sticking
to her her decision that exclusion was a good idea,
but she started to waver a little bit. She said
that most people understood where she was coming from, but
it was too heavy handed and even a little sexist.
It's actually miss andry. Yes, I mean.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
Sexist still works in this word still works in the context.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Yeah, miss andres, but that's in there too, Hurrah.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Bob and Pam have had multiple blow ups over this
whole situation, and they're not in a good place right now.
He said that instead of feeling giddy about his new
wife and basking in the glow of being married, he's
harboring a ton of resentment towards her because she's cost
him a lot of his friends and ruined their lives
over a stupid party. As for me, Pam apparently really
likes me. One of her biggest regrets of this entire

(44:06):
situation is not getting to know me before the wedding,
he said.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
Pam thinks I'm one of the coolest people she's ever met.
I asked Bob how she made that determination from a
fifteen minute chat, and he laughed and said, I don't know, man,
she probably has a crush on you or something. Dude,
no freaking way, who called that? Who called that? Oh?

Speaker 2 (44:26):
I didn't exactly. I said that he had a crush
on But you know.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
Did we call that?

Speaker 4 (44:30):
I'm pretty sure you did. You guys were like, oh, yeah, she's.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
We said that Bob was in love with Peep.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
You know what. No, no, no, we said it at
the very beginning.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
Run the tape, Run it back, editor, roll the clip,
roll the clip. Nice.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
Yeah, but also, like Bob, this is a weird reaction.
I guess he's like super drunk, but he's like, yeah,
I had to crush on you.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
Yeah, yeah, maybe it's good on here. I still wish
Bob was in love with him. That would have just
been Shaw.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
Dropper, icing on top of the cake, icing on the cake.
I don't know, man, she probably has a crush on
your something. I laughed.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
But that made the situation a little bit weird. As
for Pam's sister, she is a salute, but not in the.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
Way you may think. Where is this going?

Speaker 1 (45:09):
Bob explained that Pam's sister, Beth is by all accounts,
a very smart, successful, and respectful woman. She just so
happens to like Spicy Sleep and power Tour and more
power Tour.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Wow, what's the problem there?

Speaker 3 (45:23):
What's the problem.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
Bob explained that Beth is really into the think scene
and is into things like ethical non monogamy. She frequently
mentions her adventures to Bob and Pam, and it got
them into that lifestyle as well.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
Okay, so they're being super freaking judgmental.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
No no, no, no, no no oh no no no no
no tell them, John, I see you in the chat.
Do I tell him? Do I just give the ice?
Say it? Say it?

Speaker 1 (45:53):
Bob and Pam OPI didn't get a slice of the cake,
but they want a slice of op.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
Okay, that's what I was thinking, too, little little third
to that pie.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
If you will.

Speaker 4 (46:03):
And that's why she didn't want single guys there because
it would attempt her to be with them because they
opened their relationship, got into the non monogamy lifestyle. And
if there was a lot of hot single guys there,
the bride would have been like, but.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
I think she would have liked that.

Speaker 4 (46:18):
Then she would have liked that. But she's like, oh,
now I'm getting into a married relationship. I don't want
that temptation.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
But I think they're I think they're still into it.
I think they're still into the I think they're like
married and they're like still into that vibe, which is
maybe why Bob is so chill about saying like, oh
I think she's a crush on you.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
That's that's when I'm picking up. That's what I'm picking up.

Speaker 1 (46:34):
I was a little surprised and asked for clarification, and
he said, yeah, she kind of got us into some
of that stuff.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
I was shocked.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
I mean, how often do you hear about your coworker
who is into BDSM all the time it happens.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
But hey, no king Shamin from.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Me over here, Oh king Shaman.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
There we go.

Speaker 1 (46:50):
So it turns out that Beth isn't some soul sticking
home wrecking out of control soakbass.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
She's just a regular woman who loves spicy sleep. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
I thought that's it. It's really obvious, and.

Speaker 3 (47:01):
That is that's like exactly what we said.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Yeah, it seems like she's just like.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
No woman, She's just a woman.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
She's just a woman having a good time.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
Excuse me, wait, you have a uterus? Oh boy, stop,
you better keep that uterus to yourself.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
You and you you're telling me you like to have
spicy sleep like basically every human.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
Oh boy, illegal, go.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
To jail to h double hockey sticks for that.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
Hockey god, grow up, we've graduated fourth grade.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
And also just like incredibly hypocritical from Pam dude.

Speaker 3 (47:36):
Right and now she's trying to slide it. Come on, Pam.
You so Bob said that Pam was scared that we
would hit it off because she's jealous, which is basically
what Riley said.

Speaker 4 (47:45):
Yeah, and you doubted me got him.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
It's true. I doubted him too, but I was proven wrong. Yeah,
I'll take that.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
I thought you were just saying for like all of
the women.

Speaker 3 (47:54):
I thought you were talking of for all the guys,
all the guys.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Yeah, yeah, like she didn't want all the guys because
she thought that she was gonna Maybe you said both things.
I disagree with one of your points, and I agree.

Speaker 4 (48:04):
She didn't want all the hot guys there because she
would have been tempted. Yes, I don't agree, but I
was right.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
No, you were right about pant her not wanting Ope
there because Pam, I mean, Beth would have wanted him
and she was jealous.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
No no, no, no, no no no. I just understood that.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
Yeah, that's what she said to She's saying that she
didn't want Ope there because she liked Ope.

Speaker 3 (48:26):
And Beth was there she didn't want I guess we'll
just keep going. Okay, I see you, Riley, I see you.
I see you.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
We share many of the same interests and have similar personalities.
According to Bob, Pam wasn't lying about that, nor that
I was exactly her type. She likes tall guys, and
from what I've heard, she'd have been all over me
if she found out I was single.

Speaker 3 (48:45):
So he's just tall, tall glass of water.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
The type of glass of water that you would want
to grab in that break room that Bob and Ope
so frequently share.

Speaker 3 (48:58):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
Well, now, wow, I was curious, so I asked Bob
if he had a picture. He pulled up her Instagram,
and I must say she was dang gorgeous. She looks
like Pam's twin.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
No, she'sa is also dang gorgeous.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
And gorgeous, only she was a little bit thicker. I'm
not gonna lie. I was pretty peeved at Pam all
over again.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
Well. Bob said that Pam has always been a little
jealous of Beth.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
I don't know why. Pam is a stunner herself and
looks just like Beth. Bob said that as an f
you to Pam, he'd give her my instance so we
could d each other and he'd put in a good
word for me and I thanked him profusely.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
Heck, heck, yeah, this is working out.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
This is not what I expected. No low key little flabbering.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
But again, this all feels like we're trying to cover
up that he's not going to get these donuts. Feels
like a band aid on a festering.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
Wound, a mass conspiracy.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
And yeah, and I don't like this. I don't like this.
I think they're trying to divert a piece attention from
the donuts.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
My attention was I'll tell you, yeah, you forgot about them.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
I forgot you forgot about them, didn't you.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
I'll never forget forgot about donuts.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
He said that Pam was so desperate to make amends
with me because I made a big impression on her
and she thinks that we'd be really good friends if
we hung out. Bob said that she was just grasping
at straws at this point. She's lost all of her
friends and she wanted to make another one. He said
that he'd rain Pam in so that she wouldn't bother
me anymore. By this point, Bob is more than tipsy.

(50:24):
He says that he's been having doubts about this marriage
because the wedding process and the aftermath have been a nightmare.
He thinks it'd be really shallow to divorce her over this,
but his life has been ruined by her choices. I
was shocked, and he said, don't tell Pam please. I
swore I wouldn't tell her anything.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
Bob paid for our.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
Drinks and he said he was going to take public
transportation home, but I told him he needs an uber.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
He thought me on that, but I insisted, and he
agreed to take one.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
I put him in the uber, send him on his way,
and an hour later, Pam texted me from his work phone.
She told me, thank you for taking care of my hubby.

Speaker 3 (50:55):
You're a good person. Curly, Curly, just such a good person.
You can't have your apple sider donuts and eat them too, No, no, no,
no no, that's what we can't do.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
Yeah, and it seems like you can't have you can't
even have your apple side.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
You can't even have your apple side or donut. I can't
even exist, dude. I didn't respond, and that brings us
to now. I hope that this is mostly the end,
but it seems like Pam might be desperate enough to
do something rash in any case, I will keep you
fine folks updated, and we have update number four and
I will once again completely.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
Spoil the title A date with Beth Ellie sister dude Gold.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
That I'm trying to find where to get hot fresh EPI.
They can't be stopped.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
I'm dead. It doesn't seem like we can't get them.
She's like, I stopped. We're in the midute episode, but
really there's no actual blaze I could get them, Sophia.
Where we're getting there.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
We're about to get into a freaking date.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
But what are your thoughts right here? Date is incoming?

Speaker 2 (51:58):
Yeah, I honest think if I were Opie, I would
kind of try my best to cut off Bob and
Pam to the best of my ability, or to at
least to the extent that you can when you're working
with them, because it seems like everything around them is
just it's just a lot of drama.

Speaker 3 (52:15):
It's not good. It ain't good.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
Yeah, Like they seem like Bob is over here spilling
all these secrets. You know, Pam did made this decision
with the wedding, and they're in.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
They're pulling you into this drama, either for nefarious or
for somewhat spicy sleep reasons.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
We don't know, it.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
Just seems a little messy. Yeah, He's like, maybe we
don't want to we don't want to step in that.

Speaker 3 (52:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
Maybe here's here's another thing, like because it seems like
Bob is chill with like OPI and everything, and like, yeah,
oh my wife is a crush on you. But is
he like trying to sow the seeds of discord between
him and his wife because she's like taken a liking
to him. There's just like if like so many like
sub yeah, thing's going on here and I don't know

(53:03):
what to think.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
I don't know. I just don't know.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
But what I do know is that I should get
into this next update A date with Beth an update
date if you will. Hey, everyone, nothing major has happened,
but I do have a small updates. Bob is true
to his word and gave Beth my Instagram. She messaged
me last week and we got to talking. The conversation
went so well that we agreed on a coffee date
this past weekend. Well, sorry to disappoint the naysayers out here,

(53:29):
but the date went extremely well. We talked about a
lot our hobbies, interests, futures, jobs, and families.

Speaker 3 (53:38):
Bob is right.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
We are remarkably similar, even down to some of our
specific food tastes.

Speaker 3 (53:42):
Wow, that's a match made in heaven.

Speaker 1 (53:44):
The date went so well that we met at a
bar next to her office for some afterwork drinks. And yes,
that date went amazing as well. Could you go as well?
Look at you go? Now here's the part I think
you're all going to like. We are going to do
a hike this coming weekend, and a long way. We're
going to make a stop at the winery where Bob
and Pam had.

Speaker 3 (54:04):
Their wedding and pick me up some gosh dang apple cider.
Down up. That's what I like to hear.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
I feel completely normal about this, right, so normal, So
normal about that?

Speaker 3 (54:18):
Cool calm and collective, so calm. I'm calmly happy, like
the smooth, refreshing taste of a fresh apple cider. Dons.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
Golly, well, I think if all goes well with the state,
I'm going to ask her to be my girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (54:34):
She just feels special.

Speaker 2 (54:36):
Wait, like they've been on have they been on like.

Speaker 3 (54:38):
Three dates too?

Speaker 4 (54:39):
Sometimes?

Speaker 3 (54:40):
You know?

Speaker 1 (54:40):
But he said, he said, if it all goes well,
you know, if this keeps going the way it's going,
He's okay, he's thinking about it. Okay, So that's it.
I'll let you know how that hike day goes. But honestly,
I think the situation is mostly settled for now. Bob
has been keeping his distance, but he hooked me up
and Pam hasn't been in contact with me for a
week now.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
I said, thank God, thank God.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
Truly, after the hike, it'll probably be my last post.
I don't intend on milking this for any unnecessary drama,
but wouldn't you know, Here comes the milk, Here comes
the freaking milk.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
Watch those donuts down.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
Oh good, golly, coumers. It's just worked so perfectly.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
And I will say that this is indeed the last
and final installment in the saga.

Speaker 3 (55:24):
Who So let's go Update number five the final chapter
question mark. Hey y'all, Hello.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
I want to thank you for you all sticking through
this crazy ass saga, and also for your congratulations forgetting
with Beth.

Speaker 3 (55:38):
It means a lot. Now, onto the update.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
As I mentioned last time, me and Beth had met
and gone on a few dates. She's truly an amazing woman.
She's smart, bunny, driven, and very nice. I am absolutely
smitten with this girl.

Speaker 3 (55:51):
Lol.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
Well, we had a hike this past Saturday and it
was beyond amazing. The weather was perfect, the foliage was beautiful,
and the view from the top of the mountain was amazing.
We had a picnic at the top of said mountain,
and during a lull in the conversation, I summoned all
of my courage and.

Speaker 3 (56:07):
Asked her if she would like to be my girlfriend.
This is the third date, third date. That's kind of
what's wrong with this.

Speaker 2 (56:16):
It's a little crazy.

Speaker 3 (56:17):
Third date.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
That's pretty quick.

Speaker 3 (56:19):
He's going in, that's pretty quick.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
What do you mean what you didn't ask Angie to
be your girlfriend after the third date? It's I'm not
saying like, oh, you can't know that you want them
to be your your you know, partner, but after three dates,
but you know, maybe she'll say it and then it's
fine and it's none of my beeswax.

Speaker 4 (56:36):
Yeah wait right, Riley's about to do some some serious
math in the background here to figure it out. I
feel like if I was seventeenth, so it was exactly
a month after I met her.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
But how many dates that you had? How much like, yeah,
dedicated dates if you had a.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
Guess, I.

Speaker 4 (56:55):
Can confirm. I can confirm one second one, just one
hot one.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
Okay, here we go.

Speaker 1 (57:01):
We're not going to say he's gonna get the real,
the real, oh, from from the thing, from from the thing.
I won't say anymore. I won't say anymore one two, three, wow, three.

Speaker 3 (57:15):
Or four three or okay? Okay, all right, my lord
should happened?

Speaker 4 (57:18):
You know, after she made me the toe bag, there
you go, I was like, please be my girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
Okay, well, there you freaking go. He said, I'm trying
to tell you about me a relationship. You got me,
you got me, there you go. Hmm, there we go.
It's cute. So back though pee story.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
I was waiting for a more opportune time, but I
guess I just got swept up in the moment and view.
She smiled and laughed and said I was the corniest
person alive for asking in.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
Such a cliche place. But she said she loved corny
and cliche.

Speaker 1 (57:47):
She said yes, and we sealed it with a kiss.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
And donuts, and they got donors. Don't come on, dude.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
On our way back, we finally stopped by the winery
where we had their wedding.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
Okay, they hadn't had the donuts.

Speaker 3 (58:02):
We're up.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
We are quickly approaching, quickly approached Precipice, and man, it
was beautiful. It had panoramic views of the mountains and
the vineyard was very pretty. But I wasn't there for
the view, Okay, I was here for some guess starn
apple cider donuts.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
I feel like you and OPI are just so aligned
in your mission, your freaking your god given purpose to
find these freaking donuts. Finally, enough we got there kind
of like and almost missed the fresh donuts of the day.
That would have been tragic.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
I would have cried. That would have been tragical.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
They got them in time, got them in time. Thankfully
we got some of the last batches. God, those donuts
were absolutely delicioso. We got two dozen each and even
got some apple filling cider donuts.

Speaker 3 (58:49):
I would have said it that way, But where is
this winery? Dude, right? Drop the address? We gotta go,
drop that, Addie. The weight was worth it. After we
went back to our.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
Apartment and made dinner together, did I get you? I've
never had such an amazing day with a woman. It
was just perfect. I didn't want to leave, but I
couldn't be presumptuous. When I picked up the keys to go,
she grabbed my She grabbed me and said, I quote,
if you seriously think you're leaving, then you're out of
your freaking mind.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
That's a good line. That's a good line downtown.

Speaker 1 (59:23):
I must have had the biggest smile on my face.

Speaker 3 (59:28):
So we spent the rest of the weekend together.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
Oh the week Wow.

Speaker 3 (59:33):
We had a wonderful Sunday brunch and a nice walk around.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
The city hold my brun, holding hands, walking through the city,
going into some stores and sight seeing. Unfortunately for me,
we had to part ways last night because well, we
had work in the morning.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
I was damn near in tears.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
This is going to sound dramatic as heck, but I've
spent the last few hours at work being totally miserable.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
Then I'm not with Beth.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
It's like when you're in high school and you get
your first boyfrien friend slash girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
And you can't stand to be apart from each other.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
But if you don't want sappy love stories, you're here
for the drama. Well, me and Beth made it official
on Instagram on Sunday.

Speaker 4 (01:00:10):
Oh wow.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
Apparently Pam saw on her sister's profile.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
She texted Beth Sunday and night, how do you know Pete?
And she said Bob introduced us. Remember you didn't? No, yikes.
Pam only replied with, I knew this would happen. We
figured that might mean trouble down the road, but we

(01:00:35):
don't care.

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
Pam can be as mad as she wants.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
But that's the thing.

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
Why is she Why is she mad? Why is she
mad if she wanted to do this? And why are
you mad? Dear listener?

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
No, though you were asking me why I.

Speaker 3 (01:00:48):
Was, Sophia, why are you mad?

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
Because our listeners aren't listening to full episodes with stories
just like this.

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other podcast platforms.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
Wait, but if they go to those places, how could
they possibly locate these episodes?

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
Sofia, easy, just search up Oka story time.

Speaker 3 (01:01:05):
Thank and I won't be mad, Thank God, thank god.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
We that is the solution that everyone. You guys, if
you're watching this right now and you're not listening to
a full upside on Spotify, I'm mad at you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
I'm furious. I'm mad about.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
Two things right now that you guys aren't listening to
full episodes of stories like this. And I don't have
a Baker's dozen of Apple Cider's donuts.

Speaker 3 (01:01:24):
That's infuriating, Tans. That's infuriating, infuriating, But Sofia, I have
to ask you again, another querson ask me, we are
we are almost at the finish line here. There's still
some storry left, but we're almost at the finish line.
Give me some closing thoughts. What are we feeling? You're
thinking it choked a little, yeah, you know, it's it's emotional.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
My closing thoughts are that the op seems to be,
you know, did not get invited into a wedding?

Speaker 3 (01:01:48):
Yes, but did get a girl? About that?

Speaker 4 (01:01:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
Yeah, the point of the story. Did not get invited
a wedding, did get a girlfriend? Did get his Applesiter's donuts,
Apple Cider Donuts. There we go, and Pam still seems
like a nuisance. But I think you just don't talk
to Pam. Just leave her out of the equation.

Speaker 3 (01:02:02):
What if that becomes your sister in law? Mmm, still
leave her out of the equation.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
But it gets even more crazy because remember Bob was like, Hey,
I don't even know if I want to be in
this marriage anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
Yeah, So are you going to continue to be friends
with Bob?

Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
Probably not?

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
It seems like you and Bob I feel like Bob.

Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
Then you become brother in law's only.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
If he's married to Pam still, But what if he
leaves that?

Speaker 3 (01:02:24):
No, yeah he might. I don't think he's gonna last long, Sam. Yeah,
and then and then you just have to deal with Pam.
And then it's two against one. Wow, you're right, m
you're right, m hm. That could very easily happen. Yeah. Yeah,
let's let's see if it does.

Speaker 4 (01:02:37):
The misery still does not escape the person that caused it.
Pam will always be stuck with you, with Beth. She
will have to go to holidays with Beth being happy
someone she is jealous of, and you're with her.

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):
Okay, what would be This is just like so hilariously
full circle. She doesn't invite single guys to her wedding,
which causes her marriage to fall apart and also simultaneously
causes her sister to marry this guy she's actually interested in,
and then she has no husband.

Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
The wedding was a flop. The wedding ruined everything, and
that's called the butterfly effect.

Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
Those are some beautiful monarch wings. I don't want to
see spread and fly's. That's the only ones I've yikes. Well,
this morning I actually went up to Bob and I
thanked him for introducing me to Beth. He explained that
he and Pam had a huge fight over him introducing us.
He said he didn't care about it, though it was
worth it just to get us together, and it was

(01:03:32):
a big f you to paym They're not sounded the
greatest place.

Speaker 3 (01:03:36):
Don't like your wife Ooo? Yikes, you're trying to throw
an f you at her, right, dude? Come on?

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
I told him I buy him around as a thank you,
but he said don't worry about it and that that
was the least he could do.

Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
So that's it for this update.

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
I like to hope that this is the end, but
Pam seems pretty upset with us being together. Either way,
I'm just so happy with Beth. She's a once in
a lifetime kind of person. And rest assured. I will
update you if anything further happens. Piece of Love, what.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
An epic story like? Talk like how you got together
with your partner?

Speaker 3 (01:04:06):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
Like they try to keep us apart, couldn't couldn't keep us,
couldn't do.

Speaker 3 (01:04:11):
It, couldn't do it? Get ready for this?

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
Sofi people ask them like at parties or whatever, like, oh,
how'd you guys meet?

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):

You go to my freaking hometown and it's during the
Apple Apple festival.

Speaker 3 (01:04:48):
Yeah that part.

Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
Just go to do that everything? Hi, you could do
all that within a five mile yes, no joke.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
It was so good. Yeah, so hungry.

Speaker 4 (01:04:58):
Also, have you realized that phones bananas used to resemble phones,
but now it's just pop darts. Pop tarts resemble phones now.

Speaker 2 (01:05:05):
Oh oh, so like if you yeah, because you could
before you could be like hello with a banana.

Speaker 3 (01:05:10):
You should make one of those deep thoughtful tiktoks like
before bananas resembled phones, but now they just look like
pop darts. Oh wow, that's crazy. You should do one
of those.

Speaker 2 (01:05:19):
It's like they really like majestic music and you're just
like watching like those videos of like waterfalls and like
it's like going over mountains. They're like before phones used
to look like bananas, and.
