Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the theme of today's episode?

0.828 - 19.299 Shayne Topp

Hello, and welcome to Reddit Stories. I'm Shane, and today's theme, plot twist. That's right. You're not going to see what's going to happen next. You're going to have no idea. You're going to be blindsided over and over again in this episode. And I'm joined by two people who have no idea what's about to happen next. Angela and Trevor. What?

19.319 - 20.5

Wait, what's going on?

0

20.68 - 24.942 Shayne Topp

What if I just, like, never mind. I don't know.

0

25.062 - 25.643 Unknown

Just never mind.

25.843 - 30.666 Shayne Topp

I was thinking about a joke of, like, oh, actually, we're heading over where we're going to do Bored AF. Bored AF. Plot twist.

30.686 - 36.288 Unknown

That'd be an awesome plot twist. Not in a bad way, like I don't want to be here. Like in a way where it's like, that caught me off guard.

36.728 - 40.249

Yeah. It would have. If you'd committed to it, it would have been like, whoa.

40.429 - 44.371 Unknown

It's like how they say, when you make plans, God laughs.

46.681 - 52.344 Shayne Topp

That's so true. I don't think I've heard anyone say that until just now. I have. All right.

Chapter 2: Am I the Asshole for telling my neighbor I dated her husband?

721.553 - 742.265 Shayne Topp

Her sister joked that we should start a podcast together, and we both shouted no. So this is both the end and a new beginning of this story. Thank you all for the support and kind words for both me and Emily. We're going to be just fine, signing off. Okay, so the plot twist is that they became friends. All right, which is the best case scenario. I'm very glad I'm wrong.

742.714 - 743.674 Unknown

Me too, me too.

743.895 - 750.138 Shayne Topp

I'm glad we were two. Yeah, we were all assuming a lot of really wild things. I'm not counting out my first theory, though.

0

750.498 - 753.659

This could still... There's room for it to grow. They could fall in love.

0

753.939 - 754.52 Shayne Topp

Absolutely.

754.54 - 755.18

They could fall in love.

755.22 - 758.602 Unknown

I'm holding out hope. That would be... The brunch girlies?

758.642 - 758.882 Shayne Topp

Yeah.

759.122 - 759.502 Unknown

Yes!

Chapter 3: What happened when the neighbor found out the truth?

1644.847 - 1645.768 Unknown

MS document?

0

1646.689 - 1648.09 Shayne Topp

Microsoft document.

0

1648.911 - 1650.272 Unknown

Loser. I'm kidding.

0

1650.672 - 1651.593 Shayne Topp

Fucking nerd.

0

1651.913 - 1655.437 Unknown

Cut that. Cut that. Cut that. Okay, Microsoft.

1655.919 - 1674.048 Shayne Topp

I read it and I'm assuming that he just saved the last conversation that he had with her right before she cut contact with him. It started out normally, but then he asked how her relationship with her now fiance boyfriend was going. She said that it was good and that she was happy. And then it got weird because he said something like, really, are you sure?

1674.608 - 1680.111 Shayne Topp

She said yes and said that was a weird question. And he said, I don't know, I don't believe that you're that happy.

1680.831 - 1697.142 Shayne Topp

I don't remember everything exactly because my head was spinning, but he basically told her that her fiance, then boyfriend, will never treat her as well as he did, and that they've known each other X number of years and managed to stay friends after their breakup, that they've helped each other grow as people, and that she should really give him another chance.

1697.622 - 1704.867 Shayne Topp

He said that he's waited for her all these years and that he loves her and always believed they'd wind up together. This was all while he was with me.

Chapter 4: How does emotional baggage affect relationships?

3823.509 - 3824.43 Shayne Topp

I'm in love with you.

0

3825.131 - 3828.113 Unknown

Let's keep this conversation maybe a minute tops and let's head back. Like, what?

0

3828.273 - 3846.708

It's... Fuck. Yeah, no, that's... And it is. It's so disrespectful. Like, that is not the way that you handle, like, just leaving and not saying a word is so awful. Like, if you are having those thoughts, like, take a second to process and be like, hey, I want to sit down with you and tell you, like, this thing that happened at lunch.

0

3846.828 - 3858.034 Unknown

Or, like... If you're not even ready to talk about that specific part, just never leaving your partner high and dry without any explanation and quite literally abandoning your person.

0

3858.054 - 3869.46 Shayne Topp

Yeah, and it's like you abandoned her is already a lot. Yeah. You come back and go, the reason I abandoned you is because this person confessed their love for me and I was thinking about it. It's like, okay, we're done. Yeah.

3869.48 - 3873.864 Unknown

It's like when you fight or flight, that instinct to leave her. when there's some issues.

3873.924 - 3879.711 Shayne Topp

It's like, oh, so that's where you were leaning. You were leaning towards that. Now I'm supposed to feel confident in us forever?

3880.59 - 3886.114

And I totally understand, like, if there's a moment where you, like, have a lot of emotions, like, I totally get needing to be alone.

3886.314 - 3887.114 Shayne Topp

Yes, no, I get that, too.
