Chapter 1: Who are the hosts and what is their dynamic?

0.41 - 12.368 Morgan

Are you ready? Yes. I am too. I wore two different contacts this weekend and it was the most jarring experience. Wait, what do you mean by that? Okay, so I have transitional contacts and one of them changes color in the sunlight.

0

12.891 - 13.771 Michaela

Oh, for like shade?

0

14.031 - 22.594 Morgan

Yeah. It's like sunglasses automatically. But I accidentally paired a transitional one with a regular one. And then everyone thought I had that thing where I have two different color eyes.

0

22.874 - 23.994 Michaela

Oh, heterochromia?

0

24.375 - 35.058 Morgan

I don't know. Sounds right. You're smart. I don't know. I had an ex with it. But I was like, oh my God. Like, I feel like my eyes are still messed up from it.

36.926 - 42.371 Michaela

I'm so sorry that happened to you. If anyone deserves it, it's everyone else. Thank you, Mikayla.

49.678 - 49.738 Unknown Guest

Hi.

52.388 - 73.206 Morgan

I have been watching How I Met Your Mother again, as you guys know, and Lily, one of the characters, like, confronted another one and was like, where's the poop, Robin? Basically being like, there's more to the story. Oh, I remember that now. I remember that now. You're lying or there's details you're not telling me. Sort of like, where's the body? Yeah. Exactly.

73.226 - 87.691 Morgan

And so then I started going down this rabbit hole with a couple of stories I have about like insider info. Like there's clearly some insider info or knowledge here that these OPs have. And I want to know what the tea is. Right. What's the gossip?

Chapter 2: What is the shocking story about the mother-in-law's affair?

4294.683 - 4298.206 Morgan

Maybe that's how the students came across it. Like, I don't know.

0

4298.226 - 4324.409 Michaela

I would definitely like search his phone and his credit card history as well and see if there's any like. Yeah. Anything that stands out because it would be very scary to like then always wonder that. Yeah. Hopefully, when they do question these kids, they find out how they did it. Like maybe the answer is, oh, I was just watching a live stream.

0

4324.529 - 4341.123 Michaela

And then now that opens up all of these questions with the people she actually knows. Or maybe they say, oh, you know, like the door was open. And then, you know, that's still bad. But at least she doesn't have to wonder about anyone who has access to her home. You know, that's very scary, though. And unfortunately, like.

0

4342.301 - 4351.369 Michaela

One of the saddest things about these situations is that it's so often the person you trust the most. But I don't know, like high school kids can be really...

0

4352.635 - 4378.662 Michaela

evil like I was never evil in high school but I'm certainly a much better person than I was then and then like I you know you think about other people and like before your frontal lobe develops and before you really like I mean this happens at a different rate for everybody but before you have empathy for other people in the same way and like understand that other people are just as complex of human beings as you are like there there are

4379.962 - 4389.045 Michaela

There can be very bad high schoolers who are capable of bad things. And what's crazy is that would be the best case scenario for her at this point.

4389.546 - 4390.566 Morgan

Versus her husband.

4390.626 - 4390.946 Michaela

Yeah.

4391.426 - 4409.177 Morgan

Or an inside job. I'm telling you, insider info. Yeah. Someone knows something and... I really do hope OP, if you're out there listening, one, I hope you're, you know, doing okay and safe and hopefully getting more of a peace of mind back in all of this. Yeah.

Chapter 3: How should one handle discovering a family affair at work?

6592.31 - 6617.063 Morgan

actually wait like i kind of do i'm like well like i would say it's more so about this other person especially given like the caption of the post like healing breaking the cycle starting a healthy life or whatever it was like if that was someone you thought you helped heal and loved and went through this crazy part of her life with her and then you saw that caption it like maybe for the wife was like a slap in the face

0

6617.591 - 6632.662 Michaela

Yeah. Or even just the heartbreak of like, wow, like people can really go on and have this beautiful life. And you thought that they were so important to you and that you were so important to them. But you're not getting those updates anymore. Like you're out getting married and you're finding out from this Instagram post.

0

6632.682 - 6637.786 Michaela

You're not finding out from a text or a phone call like you mean nothing to this person who used to mean everything.

0

6638.146 - 6661.563 Morgan

Yeah. And women like losing a friendship. And it can be like this for guys and just, you know, anyone a lot of times. But I feel like for me as a woman, like the friendships I've lost have been harder than a lot of my breakups. Yeah. It's just something about the connection where we're so emotionally connected. We share everything. We're such a village support system mentality.

0

6662.104 - 6684.272 Morgan

And maybe that's it for her. Maybe it is finding out via social media posts. Like that would crush me. Like... I remember seeing a picture of this old friend of mine get engaged and it was like I didn't I was like I think I had a moment of like damn like it is weird not being connected anymore for someone I thought would be a bridesmaid and vice versa. But I all I thought was I'm happy for her.

6684.312 - 6684.692 Morgan

Good for her.

6685.392 - 6685.612 Michaela

Yeah.

6685.712 - 6691.433 Morgan

I never I would never imagine this reaction but like for days I'm not her.

6691.493 - 6691.814 Michaela

Yeah.
