Ever found yourself at a crossroads between heartache and humor? Join Brookey and me as we weave through the labyrinth of marriage dissolution, spiced up with both laughter and lessons learned. In a tale that's part confession, part therapy session, I finally dish out the last chapter of my own divorce saga, complete with the haunting silence of a New Year's Eve spent apart and the strings attached to financial power plays. We swap stories about the quest for a good therapist – because, let's face it, finding one can be as tricky as the perfect hairdresser. And for those considering "I do" take two, we offer some wit-infused wisdom that might just make you believe in the unlikely phrase "happily ever after."
But there's more beneath the surface, as we flip the script to the shadowy realm of non-disclosure agreements. We dissect the curious case of Ms. Braddall and her dalliance with a renowned legal eagle whose wings just might get clipped due to NDA indiscretions. As we navigate the murky waters of NDA violations and the haunting afterlife of reputations on the line, you'll be privy to a rare glimpse into a world where secrets are currency – and breaking the silence can cost more than just a fee. Tighten up those earbuds; this is one episode that promises to be as revealing as it is riveting.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Our marriage started fading.
We weren't even like talkinganymore.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
It was fucking falling apart.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It was done.
It was done.
Everything was ruined.
My life was over, and it was, Iguess, new Year's Eve and I was
so sick of a shit I didn't even.
I was like I'm going to hangout at Johnny's house and I did,
and we hung out all night and Islept there and guess what?
(01:19):
My ex didn't even ask how mynight was.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
That's terrible.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
And that's when I realized everything's over and
like I didn't even feel guilty.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Did you know that you even left the house?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yes, he even knew I slept out.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
No, I was going to say one thing if he didn't even
know, you fucking left.
No, he knew.
Can you imagine?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
He didn't even know you were.
Well, where'd you go?
It's been four days.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
You've been gone the whole time.
Oh my god, it's been four years.
Maybe he takes ambient.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
That's exactly what he does.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Another reason he just sucks.
He has no leads.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You know, I look back now and I'm like, you know, we
just weren't right for eachother.
I was still in the party mode,like I said, learned that from
the last relationship I just gotout of because he was so
fucking abusive and I was like,oh, I didn't really have it that
bad, we just were pieces ofshit to each other.
This guy was the worst.
(02:16):
So, yeah, lesson learned, manylessons learned, but yeah so.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
How long were we together?

Speaker 2 (02:29):
No, we were married for one of them.
Speaker 1 (02:30):

And that was like the worst of our relationship.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
After you got married .
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Maybe he knew he could get away with anything at
that point.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I think he also was like terrified of me because I
was still like partying andhaving a good time.
I didn't want to settle downand just do nothing every night.
And he was in like money savingmode and I was like cool, we
can still have a life.
But we didn't.
And he started like making megive him all of my money because
(03:02):
I was spending it all onpartying but I was making more
money than he was.
And that was when I was like Ifeel like I'm in jail, right you
gotta give him your check Shit.
Dude, I was being paid.
It was during.
When was it?
It was like right before.
Yeah, it was way before COVID.
(03:24):
Right before COVID, actually, Iwas working as like a nanny and
an assistant.
I was getting paid 30 an hourcash like chilling you know it

too, like oh yeah, I mean,nothing bad happened.
Speaker 1 (04:09):

stopped talking and I don't know.
I guess I fell out of love.
Maybe he did too.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:20):

We'd never had that conversationof like this is it, and you
know, do we want to talk aboutwhere it went wrong?
Speaker 2 (04:40):

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
