Welcome, welcome, welcome to Armchair Anonymous. I'm Dax Shepard. I'm joined by Monica Patman.
Hi.
Today we have Bad Roommates Part 2. Tell us a crazy story about a bad roommate.
They're everywhere, these bad roommates. You got to be careful.
You got to be careful. What I applaud and what we loved was one of our armcherries was the bad roommate.
Oh, I know.
What are some crazy stories about bad roommates?
Yeah, that was great.
That was.
I really like that. When we have these prompts, people, you know, we do a lot of foreign objects in body and I'd like to do way more of them. Sure. But I really want to hear from someone who had the foreign object in their body. I would too. I know that's high risk, but I feel like this is a safe place.
It's high risk, low reward.
Sure.
But we want it. We still want it.
No reward, maybe.
Please enjoy Bad Roommate.
Oh, there she be.
Hi.
Is this Alyssa?
This is Alyssa.
Okay, your hair looks phenomenal.
It really does. I just got really self-conscious.
Oh, you did because it looks so good?
Yeah.
Your hair looks great, too.
No, it's like not good today.
No, it's good. Don't look at it.
You both look great.
Alyssa, where are you?
I'm in Sandpoint, Idaho. Ooh.
Sandpoint, Idaho. What's the biggest city close?
Bocan, Washington is 30 minutes. The Upper Panhandle, I'm like an hour from Canada. Wow, you're close to a lot of things.
Close to bountiful.
Yes, I'm close to Montana, Washington, Canada. I don't know if you're familiar with Coral Lane, Idaho.
Sure, yeah. I'm a member of many white nationalist groups that meet up there. Oh, wonderful. Yeah, yeah. We have a couple annual rides that I attend.
Maybe that's your bad roommate story.
Could be. Oh, no. Are you from there or did you move there?
I'm from here, yeah. I've lived in various other places, but I recently, three years ago, moved back home and I met my now partner, father of my child, soon to be husband.
Wonderful. Okay, so where does your bad roommate story take place?
In Spokane, actually. So there is kind of a series of stories about this person leading up to this one story that was kind of like the final straw for me. So this takes place in 2016. I was 23 at the time. I had just moved home from Portland, Oregon. I was living with my parents and I was desperate to not be living with my parents anymore. To give some context, this was a phase in my life. I had a whole head of dreadlocks. I was vegan. Oh, fun.
Were you like a Portland street kid? Were you like rolling around in the dirt with the dreads?
If this gives any context, the people that I hung out with were the type of people that played the didgeridoo. and did hula hoop dancing and fire staff dancing.
The didgeridoo?
What is this?
A hybrid. You know, it's the weird goofy.
I honestly don't know. It's like a big thing that you blow into and it's like tribal.
Oh, this sounds like some weird hybrid of like Rensen folks and carnival people and Grateful Dead all mashed into a very politically charged city, Portland.
It was a very interesting season in my life. And I was in like my whole wellness journey. So I was taking shots of apple cider vinegar every morning and that will come into play later on. Very health conscious, very natural, very crunchy. So I had moved back to my parents' house, which is in Idaho, but I had a whole friend group in Spokane only like 30 minutes away. Started dating this guy. And obviously we had like a mutual friend group. And there was a girl who was moving out of her house. She was going to go travel and she was looking for someone to take over her lease and her room. And I was going to inherit her roommate. So we seemed like we had enough in common. This is going to be great. You know, she seemed like a cool girl.
We had hung out a couple of times. Very quickly, I noticed this person was kind of lacking social cues, the ability to kind of understand etiquette, especially when it comes to roommates. The first thing that kind of was a red flag for me, I had just moved in. and my friends were helping me and we were going to go get some lunch. So we invited her, my new roommate, to come with us. She had asked to borrow a cardigan.
