    Marina's friend became her stalker

    Some people are just not able to handle being put in the Friend Zone. It’s a pretty common thing. Two people meet by circumstance. Maybe they’re college students who have a class together, or they could be co-workers in an office. They get to know each other, and they become really good friends. They end up spending a lot of time hanging out together outside of work or school. They develop a close relationship, maybe even confiding in each other and having some deep conversations. Then there’s a problem that comes in. And I know this doesn’t just happen in male-female relationships, and I don’t have any statistics or studies to back this up; it’s just anecdotal. But from what I’ve seen and read, one of the people, commonly the woman, sees the relationship as platonic. They’re just wonderful friends, and there’s no romance involved. But her male friend, thinks otherwise. He’s developed feelings for this woman, and thinks she might have feelings for him too. Eventually he might express those feelings verbally, or maybe he waits for what he thinks is the right moment and tries to kiss her. That’s when things fall apart. She explains to him that she sees him not as a romantic partner, but just as a close friend. She just put him in the Friend Zone. And different people handle this in different ways. He’s gonna be disappointed of course, but what about beyond that? After he declared his feelings for her, can they still be friends? Sometimes they can. But not always. My guest today, Marina, has experienced this. She told this story on the podcast in one of the earliest episodes, back in 2019. She had a friend who actually scared her – because he took things way too far. Show notes for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/264 Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.

    Scott's new show - Did I Hear That Right?

    I have something brand new for you today. I have started a new storytelling podcast! The new show is called Did I Hear That Right? And I’m co-hosting it with my friend Glenn. For this new podcast, each episode we’re gonna have a guest come on and tell the story of something they’ve done, that most other people have never done. And these stories are all crazy, and they’re fun to listen to. No traumatic stories like animal attacks, nothing like that. And these are shorter episodes too – usually around 20 minutes or so. I’m doing this with my friend Glenn Hebert. He has a LONG history of podcasting. He started the Horse Radio Network, and has hosted the daily morning show called Horses in the Morning – for more than 4000 episodes. I’ve known Glenn for a long time and I know we’re gonna have fun with this show. And I want you to know, the new podcast will have no effect on What Was That Like. That’s my main show, and it will continue with those stories of real people in unreal situations, just like it has since it started 8 years ago. And right now, I’m gonna play you the first episode of Did I Hear That Right? So you can get a feel for what it’s like. Then I’ll be back here to wrap it up after. Learn more about your ad choices.

    263: Larry gave away everything

    I want to tell you about my friend Larry. Larry is pretty well known in the podcast world as a content creator, a consultant, and a subject matter expert for journalists. I’ve seen lots of times where he’s appeared on local and national TV shows, talking about podcasting as well as AI – he’s been on the forefront of how to use AI for personal and business productivity. And he’s been a sought-after keynote speaker at lots of organizations where he talks about these things. A few years ago, Larry and I were in Los Angeles during a podcasting conference. One evening during that week there was a big podcast awards show, and there was an after party. I don’t usually go to those things, but for some reason I was there. It was a private party but lots of people were there and it was on a rooftop bar, I don’t even remember the name of it. Of course the music was loud, and you would never guess who the DJ was – Paris Hilton. It was pretty crazy. And of course I would see Larry every year in January in Orlando, at the conference called Podfest. But this past January I didn’t see Larry. I didn’t know why he wasn’t there, and honestly I didn’t think about it a lot. It’s always a busy week and there are a couple thousand people there. But what I didn’t know was that Larry was in rehab at that time. He was trying to overcome Alcohol Use Disorder. Maybe better known as alcoholism. Larry’s life is very different now. His addiction to alcohol means he no longer has his business, his house, his cars, his wife – all gone. He’s working on his comeback now, and he told me the whole story which you’re about to hear. I also need to include a content warning for discussion of suicide. What Larry didn’t know at the time was - when he missed that Orlando conference because of being in rehab – he had not yet reached his rock bottom.
