1. Hey!
Copy !req
2. Pearle? What's going on?
Copy !req
3. I'm bailing you out of here.
Copy !req
4. Ugh, not again.
Copy !req
5. You have a problem, Bridgette.
Copy !req
6. You can't put down your phone.
Copy !req
7. That's not true, you're being ridiculous, byeeee.
Copy !req
8. Whoa.
Copy !req
9. I was here the whole time and you didn't even notice!
Copy !req
10. It's time to call this what it is.
Copy !req
11. An addiction.
Copy !req
12. You need a no-phone detox.
Copy !req
13. Uh, no. This is not an addiction.
Copy !req
14. I'm perfectly in control — Hey!
Copy !req
15. I was in the middle of texting Alex to never text me again.
Copy !req
16. Oh... Oh my...
Copy !req
17. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
18. Oh my God, what's happening to me?
Copy !req
19. Your body needs time to adjust.
Copy !req
20. But don't worry, nothing bad ever happened
Copy !req
21. from not using your phone for two minutes.
Copy !req
22. Ohmigod!
Copy !req
23. Guys, Bridgette hasn't texted in two minutes.
Copy !req
24. - What? -Bridgette is dead?
Copy !req
25. No. I'm sure she's —
Copy !req
26. She hasn't posted in half an hour.
Copy !req
27. look at the last text she sent me.
Copy !req
28. That's exactly what she'd type
Copy !req
29. if someone was throwing a pillow case on her head
Copy !req
30. and pulling her into an unmarked van!
Copy !req
31. We gotta call the cops! No!
Copy !req
32. They won't do anything until she's gone
Copy !req
33. for at least 48 hours.
Copy !req
34. If we want to get Bridgette back...
Copy !req
35. we're on our own.
Copy !req
36. Where'd you go, Bridgette?
Copy !req
37. Where'd you go?
Copy !req
38. Pearle, you can give it back now.
Copy !req
39. I'm good. Really good.
Copy !req
40. I just want to hold it in my hand, you know?
Copy !req
41. I'll give it back when I know you can handle it.
Copy !req
42. Here. You can't let your fingers go cold turkey.
Copy !req
43. Bridgette, get ahold of yourself!
Copy !req
44. That's the withdrawal kicking in.
Copy !req
45. Let's get you a bucket.
Copy !req
46. 44 minutes since her last update.
Copy !req
47. Okay, we're ready to post.
Copy !req
48. Are we sure that's the most appropriate picture?
Copy !req
49. It's the one she told me to use if she ever went missing.
Copy !req
50. What's happening?
Copy !req
51. Bridgette's going viral.
Copy !req
52. Her lifelong dream.
Copy !req
53. Someone's FaceTiming me.
Copy !req
54. It's Kristen and Gina from Podnapped!
Copy !req
55. Hello? Hi, Emily?
Copy !req
56. We're from Podnapped, it's a podcast where we get buzzed
Copy !req
57. and talk about terrifying abductions.
Copy !req
58. I know! I've heard every episode.
Copy !req
59. I have all your merch!
Copy !req
60. This was a bad gift.
Copy !req
61. We think our devoted audience of abduction-istas
Copy !req
62. could help figure out who took your friend, Bridgette.
Copy !req
63. We'd like to record a special live episode about her.
Copy !req
64. At. Your. House.
Copy !req
65. Oh my, God. This is so awesome!
Copy !req
66. I mean helpful.
Copy !req
67. For finding Bridgette.
Copy !req
68. Who's missing.
Copy !req
69. Very sad.
Copy !req
70. How long since she's checked her phone?
Copy !req
71. Hour and a half.
Copy !req
72. Good God.
Copy !req
73. Bridgette.
Copy !req
74. Oh, no.
Copy !req
75. Twitter bird?
Copy !req
76. Why haven't you checked me, Bridgette?
Copy !req
77. I'm just taking a break.
Copy !req
78. No one takes a break!
Copy !req
79. Feed me content!
Copy !req
80. Agh! Get away from me!
Copy !req
81. Come on! Take a selfie.
Copy !req
82. You know you want to use the filters.
Copy !req
83. Well, I guess one filter couldn't hurt.
Copy !req
84. Ew, I don't like that filter!
Copy !req
85. It's no filter.
Copy !req
86. What, where am I?
Copy !req
87. Where are my friends?
Copy !req
88. He, they're all dead.
Copy !req
89. We tried to tell you, but you just kept looking at your phone.
Copy !req
90. Time to take your medicine.
Copy !req
91. I don't want to!
Copy !req
92. No!
Copy !req
93. She was a 26-year-old stay-at-home influencer.
Copy !req
94. Then one day... she was gone.
Copy !req
95. And now, let's hear a theme song we recorded
Copy !req
96. while getting trashed in a Trader Joe's parking lot.
Copy !req
97. Hey, get out of the way!
Copy !req
98. Come on!
Copy !req
99. Welcome to a very special live episode of Podnapped!
Copy !req
100. We're here with Emily, Alex, Josh,
Copy !req
101. and our good friend, Pinot Grigio.
Copy !req
102. Emily, when did you notice that your roommate,
Copy !req
103. BurningBridgette94, was missing?
Copy !req
104. I clocked it right away.
Copy !req
105. I'm a total podnapper.
Copy !req
106. Well, then you must know that 94% of abductors
Copy !req
107. turn out to be the victim's best friend.
Copy !req
108. What? I didn't do this.
Copy !req
109. Bridgette was everything to me.
Copy !req
110. Ooh, "was", past tense. That's a slip up.
Copy !req
111. Pretty much a confession.
Copy !req
112. Wait, wait, wait.
Copy !req
113. What qualifies you to accuse people?
Copy !req
114. I do warm up for "Conan."
Copy !req
115. I wear vintage dresses!
Copy !req
116. So, you guys did it, right?
Copy !req
117. - No! -Liar!
Copy !req
118. Okay, I love your guys's show, but none of us took Bridgette!
Copy !req
119. See how they're protecting each other?
Copy !req
120. Exactly what I would expect from the "Eastside Three."
Copy !req
121. Cool name!
Copy !req
122. Eastside Three swag is available in our store right now.
Copy !req
123. - How did you? -We used Pod Swag.
Copy !req
124. But the real question is...
Copy !req
125. Has gingivitis abducted your mouth?
Copy !req
126. Subscribe to Flosslocker and receive
Copy !req
127. a new artisanal dental floss every week.
Copy !req
128. We actually use this.
Copy !req
129. We totally don't.
Copy !req
130. I don't think I can do it, Pearle.
Copy !req
131. Bridgette, if I can get clean, anyone can.
Copy !req
132. You had an addiction?
Copy !req
133. Oh, I couldn't live without it.
Copy !req
134. My whole body was on fire until I got that next fix.
Copy !req
135. Oh, my God. Heroin? Meth?
Copy !req
136. Six flags.
Copy !req
137. Magic Mountain.
Copy !req
138. No, I know what it is.
Copy !req
139. I had a season pass for years.
Copy !req
140. Any ride, you bet I rode it.
Copy !req
141. Crazanity, Dive Devil, Green Lantern First Flight.
Copy !req
142. I was ridin' that sweet dragon on the daily.
Copy !req
143. Then I learned, it was making me miss out on my real life.
Copy !req
144. Real life?
Copy !req
145. You mean that stuff I take pictures of?
Copy !req
146. Whoa. -My theory?
Copy !req
147. Emily two-buck-chucked Bridgette into the pot,
Copy !req
148. while Alex cooked her up with some mussels and white wine,
Copy !req
149. and Josh played video games on the couch.
Copy !req
150. Case closed.
Copy !req
151. We didn't eat Bridgette!
Copy !req
152. You lay out a pretty airtight case.
Copy !req
153. So, what do you think, podballs?
Copy !req
154. Did they eat her or is she duct taped to a radiator
Copy !req
155. waiting to be set free?
Copy !req
156. Not to mansplain how podcasts work, ladies,
Copy !req
157. but I'm pretty sure you can't hear your listeners.
Copy !req
158. Oh, we can hear them.
Copy !req
159. Set Bridgette free!
Copy !req
160. Lock up the Eastside Three!
Copy !req
161. Set Bridgette free!
Copy !req
162. Lock up the Eastside Three!
Copy !req
163. Awww. Our fans are the best.
Copy !req
164. Set Bridgette Free!
Copy !req
165. Lock up the Eastside Three!
Copy !req
166. Bridgette, what do you remember
Copy !req
167. about this picture?
Copy !req
168. I used the Nashville filter to make it pretty.
Copy !req
169. It got 67 likes.
Copy !req
170. It probably would have gotten more
Copy !req
171. if I posted it later in the day.
Copy !req
172. But, do you remember what this latte tasted like?
Copy !req
173. Wait. Have I ever actually had a latte?
Copy !req
174. Whoa!
Copy !req
175. What else have I been missing out on?
Copy !req
176. Set Bridgette free!
Copy !req
177. They took BurningBridgette94, get 'em!
Copy !req
178. Oh, no.
Copy !req
179. Hey! I'm right here.
Copy !req
180. I wasn't abducted, I was just at Pearle's for a couple hours!
Copy !req
181. I pinot disagree-gio.
Copy !req
182. This woman looks nothing like BurningBridgette94.
Copy !req
183. Yeah, that's not her!
Copy !req
184. Where'd the Eastside three go?
Copy !req
185. Kill them!
Copy !req
186. Glad to see you're okay, Bridgette! Gotta go!
Copy !req
187. Cool, street justice!
Copy !req
188. You won't find BurningBridgette94,
Copy !req
189. so stop looking for her!
Copy !req
190. She's not real.
Copy !req
191. She's a phony, chasing likes.
Copy !req
192. I've lost the last 10 years of my life to my phone,
Copy !req
193. and I bet you all have, too.
Copy !req
194. I like this Bridgette — in the flesh —
Copy !req
195. and that's the only like I need.
Copy !req
196. - Boo! -She's an imposter!
Copy !req
197. You're not the real BurningBridgette94!
Copy !req
198. Wait! BurningBridgette94 posted!
Copy !req
199. I don't know where this is from, but it's definitely her.
Copy !req
200. You won't find BurningBridgette94,
Copy !req
201. so stop looking for her!
Copy !req
202. What? I didn't post anything.
Copy !req
203. Aww. You posted it?
Copy !req
204. I didn't want people to miss what you had to say
Copy !req
205. just because they were too busy looking at their phones.
Copy !req
206. BurningBridgette94's right.
Copy !req
207. We need to stop looking at our phones,
Copy !req
208. and start looking at life.
Copy !req
209. Hey, check out that dog.
Copy !req
210. Pics or it wasn't cute!
Copy !req
211. - What breed is it? -Check Wikipedia.
Copy !req
212. - Oh, he's fast! -I'll call an Uber.
Copy !req
213. What a twist that she showed up alive.
Copy !req
214. Oh my, God. That never happens on Podnapped!
Copy !req
215. Sorry we accused you, Emily.
Copy !req
216. Well, it was wrong what you did, but since we're besties now,
Copy !req
217. we can totally hang out and —
Copy !req
218. Now that was a podcast!
Copy !req
219. Yeah, eat shit, Marc Maron!
Copy !req
220. I'm good.
Copy !req
221. Where are you going?
Copy !req
222. I'm going to the bathroom.
Copy !req
223. Without my phone.
Copy !req
224. Oh!
Copy !req
225. Oooh!
Copy !req
226. Lady Saveria, I am Rothgar of the Northern clans.
Copy !req
227. Legend of your beauty hath traveled cross the sea.
Copy !req
228. And legend of your...
Copy !req
229. longsword hath traveled here.
Copy !req
230. Lady, thy boldness—
Copy !req
231. Shusheth!
Copy !req
232. Rothgar of the Northern clans...
Copy !req
233. plunder me with your massive Viking c—
Copy !req
234. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Alex!
Copy !req
235. You didn't tell us your new book was dirty!
Copy !req
236. Uh, 'cause it's not?
Copy !req
237. "The Rigid Helmet" is historically
Copy !req
238. accurate Viking erotica.
Copy !req
239. What? You wanna tell me I'm a pervert or something?
Copy !req
240. No, I want you to keep reading.
Copy !req
241. Really? You think it's good?
Copy !req
242. Good? I think you reversed my menopause.
Copy !req
243. Now I believe you left off at Rothgar's big ol' ding dong.
Copy !req
244. Thanks for letting me tag along to your big meeting.
Copy !req
245. Harlot House publishes all my favorite sexy books.
Copy !req
246. It's the least I can do.
Copy !req
247. If you hadn't supported me,
Copy !req
248. I never would've submitted my manuscript.
Copy !req
249. Trust me.
Copy !req
250. "The Rigid Helmet" will be an Ophira Book Club pick for sure.
Copy !req
251. The world's gonna know the name Alex Dunkleburg.
Copy !req
252. It's Dorpenberger.
Copy !req
253. No shit?
Copy !req
254. Wow... The house that horny built.
Copy !req
255. The Waif and the Whip, Sir Colton the Hung.
Copy !req
256. Queen stud.
Copy !req
257. God no! I wouldn't touch that deal
Copy !req
258. with a dollar-store dildo.
Copy !req
259. Okay. Eat shit, Jason.
Copy !req
260. Alex!
Copy !req
261. Brienne Bishop.
Copy !req
262. I loved your book.
Copy !req
263. Um, hi, actually I'm Alex.
Copy !req
264. Sorry. I assumed "Alex" was a woman.
Copy !req
265. The description of love-making was so tender and feminine.
Copy !req
266. But you said you loved the book.
Copy !req
267. Here's The Deal: there's no market
Copy !req
268. for an erotic novel written by a man.
Copy !req
269. Let alone one who looks like a werewolf
Copy !req
270. that didn't finish transforming.
Copy !req
271. Our female audience wants erotica from someone
Copy !req
272. who makes them feel safe.
Copy !req
273. An E.L. James, a J.Q. Guintel,
Copy !req
274. anyone, anyone with two initials
Copy !req
275. who doesn't immediately make them vomit.
Copy !req
276. That's how you get on Ophira's Book Club.
Copy !req
277. Wait a second! What if we put your face on the book.
Copy !req
278. But I didn't write this book.
Copy !req
279. But you encouraged me. Think about it.
Copy !req
280. You could go to fancy literary parties.
Copy !req
281. You could meet Ophira!
Copy !req
282. Oh, now!
Copy !req
283. You had me at "you could meet Ophira."
Copy !req
284. Perfect. We can call you—
Copy !req
285. A... P... LaPearle!
Copy !req
286. Stop. A novel of hot Viking erotica
Copy !req
287. by an older black lady named A.P. LaPearle?
Copy !req
288. Now that I could sell.
Copy !req
289. The "Rigid Helmet..."
Copy !req
290. chapter four.
Copy !req
291. "The journey across the frozen highlands
Copy !req
292. had been treacherous..."
Copy !req
293. With no fire, I fear we shall freeze.
Copy !req
294. The only fire we need — is the fire in our loins.
Copy !req
295. Oh my! We know what that means!
Copy !req
296. "Saveria guided Rothgar to her glowing embers.
Copy !req
297. Closer, closer, 'til her body quaked in ecstasy
Copy !req
298. and she screamed —"
Copy !req
299. "Valhallaaaaaaa!"
Copy !req
300. They loved you!
Copy !req
301. Oh, please.
Copy !req
302. You're the book, I'm just the jacket.
Copy !req
303. You practically got that crowd pregnant!
Copy !req
304. Alex, you sex pig, start typing.
Copy !req
305. I want five more of these disgusting, beautiful books.
Copy !req
306. And I want you on a book tour.
Copy !req
307. Ooh! But I can't go without Alex.
Copy !req
308. Sure, Alex can be your "assistant." Whatever.
Copy !req
309. A.P. LaPearle is about to become the Stephen King of books.
Copy !req
310. For the next reading, should I do one scarf or two?
Copy !req
311. Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
312. Thank you. Everybody!
Copy !req
313. It's from Brienne! "Great news, perverts!
Copy !req
314. Ophira read "The Rigid Helmet" and slid off her chair!
Copy !req
315. We're talking book club, you freaks!"
Copy !req
316. Oooh, it's happening for me!
Copy !req
317. Technically, it's happening for me.
Copy !req
318. Mm-hmm. Sure, sure. We need that book.
Copy !req
319. You keep typing. I'll take care of this.
Copy !req
320. Ooh, it's from Washington State.
Copy !req
321. Honestly, the pages just come to me.
Copy !req
322. It doesn't even feel like work.
Copy !req
323. I love how humble she is.
Copy !req
324. Ooh, ooh, tell them!
Copy !req
325. You know what, I'm gonna tell them —
Copy !req
326. She's going to be on Ophira tomorrow!
Copy !req
327. Reading from her new work.
Copy !req
328. Oh, I'd give up my stepson's Yale admission to get on Ophira.
Copy !req
329. My stepson got into Yale.
Copy !req
330. What's the new book about?
Copy !req
331. This one's about the eternal schism
Copy !req
332. between the carnal and the divine,
Copy !req
333. set against the Jute conquest of the sixth century.
Copy !req
334. A.P., who is this werewolf and why
Copy !req
335. is he answering questions about your next book?
Copy !req
336. They can not know he wrote this book!
Copy !req
337. Because he's my nosy assistant.
Copy !req
338. Carry on assisting, assistant.
Copy !req
339. The writers are talking.
Copy !req
340. And get me a pomegranate La Croix!
Copy !req
341. And pull your pants up!
Copy !req
342. Today we've got A.P. LaPearle!
Copy !req
343. She's going to read from her new book,
Copy !req
344. "The Throbbing Speeeeear!"
Copy !req
345. Hey, where the hell is your assistant?
Copy !req
346. I think I may have gone too far last night.
Copy !req
347. Finally! She's about to go on.
Copy !req
348. Give her the new pages.
Copy !req
349. No. I'm gonna read them.
Copy !req
350. Oh, the frig you are, buddy!
Copy !req
351. I'm doing all of the work,
Copy !req
352. it's time I got some of the recognition.
Copy !req
353. Alex, what's the matter?
Copy !req
354. You're the book and I'm the jacket, remember?
Copy !req
355. Not anymore.
Copy !req
356. Either I read these pages, or the pages and I walk.
Copy !req
357. Okay, bye. Uh, wait, I di—
Copy !req
358. You don't think I have a backup plan?
Copy !req
359. Harlot House designed an A.I. that analyzed your novel
Copy !req
360. and every Wikipedia page about Vikings,
Copy !req
361. and it generated a sequel that is absolutely thigh-quaking.
Copy !req
362. And you are fired.
Copy !req
363. Who's ready for some Viking roooomaaance?
Copy !req
364. Please give a warm welcome to my new best friend,
Copy !req
365. A.P. LaaaPeeeearle!
Copy !req
366. Come on, Ma, where are you?
Copy !req
367. I don't know, this doesn't feel right without Alex.
Copy !req
368. Pearle, your idol Ophira is out there,
Copy !req
369. waiting to talk to you.
Copy !req
370. You're the magic behind A.P. LaPearle,
Copy !req
371. not Alex Dunkleberg.
Copy !req
372. It's Dorpenberger.
Copy !req
373. Who wants to get hooooorny?
Copy !req
374. Ahem.
Copy !req
375. "The Throbbing Spear," chapter one.
Copy !req
376. "Rothgar and Saveria
Copy !req
377. leaned against the mast of their ship..."
Copy !req
378. Ooh. I was afraid I'd never feel your longsword again.
Copy !req
379. There is no sea that can keep us apart.
Copy !req
380. For we Vikings are a seafaring people who during the 8th
Copy !req
381. to 11th century explored wide areas of Europe
Copy !req
382. and sailed as far West as Newfoundland.
Copy !req
383. "'Oh my God,' Rothgar whispered,
Copy !req
384. referring to Odin, the Norse God.
Copy !req
385. Then 4.92 milliliters of his seed flowed,
Copy !req
386. and Saveria savored it like a typical Viking meal of meat
Copy !req
387. and vegetables stewed in a soapstone pot."
Copy !req
388. No! These are not the words of A.P. LaPearle!
Copy !req
389. Get this lunatic out of here!
Copy !req
390. This isn't right.
Copy !req
391. Ophira, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
392. A.P. LaPearle didn't write this book
Copy !req
393. because A.P. LaPearle doesn't exist!
Copy !req
394. Alex, get up here!
Copy !req
395. What is happennnnnning?
Copy !req
396. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
397. Go on and show 'em.
Copy !req
398. Be the book and the jacket.
Copy !req
