And if you're living it, it's a different experience. Right. Scary. It's really scary. Yeah. All right. Moving on to another question we got about a specific episode. And it's the episode with Dr. Carrie. Carrie McAvoy. She is a clinical psychologist. Her husband of 25 years, Brad, dies of cancer. And she's devastated. She's experiencing this grief, trying to find a way to move on.
She decides she wants to throw herself back into dating. She meets a guy online who we in the episode call Caesar, and he is a Mexican-American dual citizen. He brings her into this world, essentially, of Mexican real estate development. And she puts a lot of Brad's life insurance money into developing a real estate company with Caesar. They get married. All of these things happen.
There are so many deceptions. You have to go listen to both the parts to really get the full picture. But we got quite a lot of comments on this episode that there was one specific thing listeners were seeing that we did not say explicitly before. But they wanted to point out. And I think you know what I am referring to.
Right. So let me just play the section from the episode that we're referring to.
Yeah, exactly. That comes up in many of our episodes, almost a half of them. We have a situation where there's something we want to include, but for legal reasons.
Okay, Dre, I have one more question that is about a specific episode. And this one is something that we heard from quite a few listeners. And I think there's a few things we need to say. So this comes from the Chelsea episode. The Chelsea episode, that was one of our most... Intense ones, really intense.
Yeah, she did a Facebook deep dive. She was never 100% sure, but she was feeling like it probably was. And that's ultimately what led her to go to the police and report it. So let me share one of the questions that we got after the Chelsea episode. This is from a listener who said, in episode 16 about Chelsea, she mentions discovering that she thought she knew who the girl in the picture was.
Was the girl found and taken out of the home? So this is just one that's representative of, I want to say, 10 questions we got to the same effect, which is what happened to this little girl? Is she safe? Is she okay? I wish we had the answer to that. And I wish that it was yes, she's safe.
You're definitely right that we should have included that information that she did tell the police who she thought the child was. I mean, the day the episode came out, we were starting to get these questions in from listeners and we frantically went back to the script and we realized immediately like, oh my God, there's one piece of tape. didn't make the cut and that would have clarified so much.
And we had been so focused on Chelsea's experience and Chelsea's story that when we ended up recounting that moment when she finally goes to the police, here's the piece of tape that we did include in the episode.
But then there was this one critical piece of information and tape that we should have put in the episode. It's in that same scene where she's reporting to the police officer, finally reporting James. And this is the piece of tape we should have included in this episode.
Definitely. Lesson learned column. Lesson learned column. And I know a lot of people who wrote in about this episode are just concerned and they want something more to be done. They want to make sure the girl is okay. And so did Chelsea. And some idea of her going directly to James or going directly to those friends' house, that is not a safe option. That is physically not a safe option for her.
He also threatened that he would release nude photos of her that she had consensually sent him and that he said he had deleted, but he had kept. He threatened to send those to her colleagues. So she was feeling pretty scared of this person. Right.
She did everything she could have while also keeping herself safe. Yeah. All right. Those are all of the questions I have.
Yeah. We love engaging with listeners. We love it when people send in questions and they send in commentary. One of my favorite emails we got this year was someone who wrote in with feedback. And then I'm just going to read from, I think, one of the most salient points. Quote,
danielle's story is case in point then she goes on to say it frustrates me when others tell me i'll find love again or i should date again i want to heal and build my self-esteem and i want to hear more stories about people who come back from this and build a business or go find an incredible and satisfying hobby start traveling or anything other than jump into another relationship and hope for the best with a new person i hope you'll keep this in mind when making future episodes
Yes. And I think she was writing into us to bring our attention to language like, you know, so-and-so found love again. And it's like, well, what do you call that first relationship? Love?
So we're finished with these weekly episodes for the next few months. We are going to be back in August with new weekly episodes. What is coming up next on the feed? Do you want to talk about it, Trey?
Well, Dre, I'm going to scurry back behind the curtain.
And you do great work, Mo. So thank you. Thanks, Dre. I feel honored to get to work with a team that is this thoughtful and... mission-driven and talented, and also to get to work with individuals who are trusting us with some of the worst experiences of their life and trusting us to tell those with respect and care. It's really an honor.
