94.244 - 98.949 Sandy

I'm in the Pacific Northwest, but my story is in Montana where I grew up.

Chapter 2: How did the party setting contribute to the chaos?

105.016 - 106.778 Sandy

Small mountain town. Beautiful.

0

106.798 - 108.921 Unknown

What a wonderful setting for a party gone wrong.

0

109.081 - 123.357 Sandy

Yeah, this happened about 15, 20 years ago, my senior year of high school graduation weekend. So it was a small Montana town where I grew up and it's really beautiful there. So it tends to attract pretty big local kind of blue collar population.

0

123.337 - 131.872 Sandy

And then it attracts a lot of kind of early retirees who are going there to build their like lodge home, finish raising their kids, recreate that kind of stuff.

0

131.892 - 136.12 Unknown

And then do you have like river raft people and snowboarders and all those two?

136.24 - 143.653 Sandy

The granola people who are kind of in and out of college doing the guide life. I like using recreate as a verb.

143.954 - 145.817 Unknown

Yeah. Well, Sandy has a very good vocabulary.

145.837 - 147.42 Monica

I know. I'm going to use that.

147.4 - 149.445 Unknown

It feels adjacent to conversate.

Chapter 3: What unexpected events unfolded during the party?

224.131 - 230.361 Sandy

And then you'd be like, okay, well, where's so-and-so's house? And someone would know, and then you'd follow them, and you'd kind of just get there eventually.

0

230.341 - 240.42 Unknown

I just want to point out that that's a fun part of the adventure of being a hillbilly. Where I grew up too, there were field parties and same thing. It's like, wait, the two-track road on the end of Middle Road or the one behind?

0

240.58 - 247.894 Sandy

Just when you feel like you're not getting there, you're in the wrong place, you pull around a random corner and there's 50 people you know being dumb and running around.

0

247.874 - 252.34 Unknown

You start the party with a big reward of accomplishment. It's a good foot to start out.

0

252.36 - 253.462 Sandy

Yeah. You're like, we're here.

253.562 - 254.683 Unknown

We did it. We found it.

254.823 - 272.127 Sandy

We walked down this road. There are a few cars parked to the side, kind of like get to the fire and just join the crowd. Night kind of goes on a couple hours in. It's like party climax. Everyone's a little bit drunk. People are going off into the woods to hook up, going into cars to hook up, going out to pee, coming and going. And it's just sort of mayhem.

272.107 - 280.438 Sandy

And I was walking back to the fire, like along the road with my own hookup, who I'm going to call Danny for this little grease reference.

280.578 - 283.562 Unknown

And did you guys choose the woods or a car?

Chapter 4: How did the guests react to the fire incident?

832.455 - 833.777 Monica

Is that how he spells it?

0

833.757 - 860.933 Unknown

0

860.973 - 864.577 Dax Shepard

Right outside New York City. So just across the river in New Jersey.

0

865.498 - 871.025 Unknown

Oh, okay. Wonderful. And do you have a view of New York City? Like, can you see it from your area?

0

871.146 - 872.768 Dax Shepard

Yeah, just not from my exact apartment.

872.868 - 883.301 Unknown

Part of me thinks, and I would have not been privy to this had I not stayed in Brooklyn on one trip, recognizing it's almost more fun to be looking at it than it is to be in it for your living quarters.

883.541 - 883.902 Dax Shepard

Totally.

883.922 - 884.082 Unknown

Totally.

884.062 - 889.39 Dax Shepard

When you're in Brooklyn next, maybe you try Red Hook Taverns Burger instead of Emily Burger.

Chapter 5: What were the consequences of the party aftermath?

1240.049 - 1244.995 Dax Shepard

Bandages me up. Says, like, not a problem. I'll take care of it. I'll find a way.

0

1245.276 - 1246.578 Monica

Is she your wife now?

0

1247.198 - 1254.69 Dax Shepard

This better be a meet-cute. Exactly. You know, I knew you were going to go there. We're so predictable. I'll save that for the end.

0

1255.17 - 1255.43 Unknown

Okay.

0

1255.45 - 1272.849 Dax Shepard

Okay. Don't get too excited. She bandages me up super nice. I decided to leave the party. It's like a three mile walk home. So now I have to walk home on this leg. I know I need stitches. I know I can't drive myself there cause we've been drinking. So walk three miles, get home. Probably somewhere between 11 and one.

1272.869 - 1286.383 Dax Shepard

I would say it was a while ago, but it was later at night knock on my parents' door. Cause I know that I need to get taken to the emergency room where you get stitched up. No answer. Opened my parents' door and then immediately met with what no child wants to see.

1286.403 - 1288.088 Monica

Oh, wow. There's sex.

1288.108 - 1290.556 Dax Shepard

Oh, my God. Add insult to injury.

1290.576 - 1291.94 Monica

What a night you're having.

Chapter 6: How did the police involvement escalate the situation?

1695.577 - 1696.879 Jessa

But now I won't do it again.

0

1697.099 - 1697.64 Unknown

Okay.

0

1697.66 - 1713.131 Jessa

Okay. We book it. We are so happy. Everything's good to go. We are on the road a couple of weeks later. Everything's going great until about 15 minutes out from the house. We realized we are not in Alice Beach. We are in the heart of Panama City.

0

1713.652 - 1715.115 Monica

Oh, shit. I've been there.

0

1715.296 - 1715.596 Unknown

OK.

1715.717 - 1717.42 Monica

And so that is a place I've been.

1717.4 - 1720.026 Unknown

Whatever I said about A130, just do the opposite of that.

1720.046 - 1722.411 Monica

Listen, some of my best times.

1722.792 - 1723.273 Unknown

I went too.

Chapter 7: What lessons were learned from this party experience?

2185.578 - 2187.922 Unknown

Holy shit. 21 men.

0

2188.102 - 2189.745 Jessa

So this all happened next door.

0
0

2191.216 - 2194.764 Unknown

It's like a clown car of perverts next door.

0

2194.864 - 2209.115 Jessa

What's even crazier, though, is that the whole reason that this even happened was that a girl was kidnapped out of Utah at a Utah jazz game. Remember, the Airbnb host is from Utah.

2209.135 - 2209.917 Unknown

Yes.

2209.897 - 2231.232 Jessa

So she's kidnapped there by a Panama City man who lives in the sex trafficking house. Wait, what? So then when we got to the Airbnb, you know, you go and you look around, you're looking everywhere, wherever you're staying, you're seeing all the nooks and crannies. There's an outdoor shower. We're like, oh, that's kind of cool. That might be convenient after the beach.

2231.712 - 2248.358 Jessa

And we look in there and there's a camera in the shower. And we're like, what in the world? This is so creepy. But upon our investigation, it wasn't aimed at the shower. It was aimed at the front door of the sex trafficking house. And it was the only camera on property.

2248.338 - 2259.035 Jessa

And that same day before any of this happened, the Airbnb host emails us and she's like, hey, girls, hope you're having the best time. Feel free to stay an extra night for free on us.
