The Private Record — Episode 19 — "When You Try To Be Nice To Someone But End Up With a Stalker"

Spencer! Poor Spencer! Was just trying to be nice to someone who was clearly in need! And ended up experiencing several months of hell at the hands of a woman who thought (unbeknownst to Spencer at the time!) that Spencer was her one true soulmate. We'd write more (and there IS a WHOOOLE LOT more!) but honestly you have to hear the details from Spencer himself for this story to have its most maximum mind-blowing effect. 

Make sure to sound off in the comments about what you think is the craziest part of Spencer's story! (Without giving too much away, Matt thinks it's the part about the 'bread crumbs'.) 

And lastly— be careful out there, everybody! Be nice... but not TOO nice!

When You Try To Be Nice To Someone But End Up With a Stalker

The Private Record — Episode 018 — “When You Somehow End Up Naked And Eating Ribs in a Stranger’s Hot Tub and The Stranger Has a Machete”

Everyone has that one friend who is always getting into something crazy, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Today’s guest, a fella named Andrew, is one of those people— and in his case, it IS intentional. He’s constantly saying yes to the craziest of opportunities, so that he always has great stories with which to entertain his friends. But in this episode, Andrew tells Matt what he considers his very BEST story, which involves a Jamaican scientist who loves to cook ribs, get naked without warning, invite strangers into his sauna to EAT the ribs he cooked, and then brandish a machete. Not sure what else to say about this episode besides— strap in, this one is particularly insane!

When You End Up Naked in a Stranger’s Sauna & He Pulls Out a Machete

The Private Record — Episode 17 — "When Your Friend's Trauma Becomes Your Drama"

Episode 17 is here and IT IS A WILD ONE! So many twists and turns in this one, it’s best to keep this short and sweet, so here goes—

Our guest Jason was in college in Florida at the time of this tale, when he and his brothers decided to rent a place there for a chill summer full of sunshine and partying. Only a few friends of his remained in town while school was out— one of them being the ex girlfriend of Jason’s former roommate. And at a get together at Jason’s place one night, this ex-girlfriend of Jason’s friend showed up (AGAIN— after already having left about an hour earlier) in a very bad way... bloodied, beaten, and unable to speak— clearly severely traumatized in some way. Freaked out for his friend and just generally wanting to be a good person, Jason immediately took on a protector role of sorts, which ends up being wayyyyy more than he bargained for...

To avoid giving too much away, it's best to leave it at that— but let’s just say things only get crazier from there! MUCH MUCH crazier. You don’t wanna miss this one!

When Your Friend's Trauma Becomes Your Drama

The Private Record — Episode 016 — "When You Make Fake Money To Buy Drugs & Your Dealer Tries To Kill You For It"

This story sounds and feels like a sequence from a movie BUT, the thing is, it ACTUALLY HAPPENED. And the fact that our guest Christina is even alive to tell us the tale is... well... absolutely and completely bingbong bonkers insane.

When Christina was a teenager she was hooked on heroin. Like, REALLY hooked. So hooked, in fact, that at one point she needed a fix so bad that she (along with two equally heroin-hooked friends) printed fake money (on regular computer paper!!!) to buy over 200 hundred dollars worth of H from their gang-affiliated dealer. Somehow, at first, the exchange goes off without a hitch— but when Christina's friend steps back into her car to drive off with the goods, Christina quickly realizes this will NOT be the clean getaway she was hoping for. What ensues is a high speed chase along an interstate freeway, infuriated gangbangers, and gunshots whizzing by the heads of Christina and her heroin-addled friends.

When You Make Fake Money To Buy Drugs & Your Dealer Tries To Kill You

The Private Record — Episode 015 — "When a Silly Prank Goes Very Very Wrong"

Mason's plan to prank his college roommate was simple enough. But as we all know, even the simplest of plans don't always work out as... well... planned! And frankly, Mason's plan could not have worked out any WORSE. Right out of the gate, one unfortunate (but hilarious) development led to another, and then to another, and so on, resulting in Mason paying an absurdly (and comically) high price for his rather harmless prank attempt. This was of course all very bad news for Mason. But it was very GOOD news for Matt, and is great news for all of you, because you get to hear this prank-gone-wrong story from Mason himself— and laugh, and laugh, and laugh (both AT Mason AND with him). 

After some rather serious stories on the show over the last few weeks, we figured a few laughs might do you some good. And we think this is our funniest episode yet. Comment and let us know if you agree!
