You’ll Never Believe Me But… is a lighthearted storytelling podcast about what’s real, what’s fake, and what’s funny. Guests come on and tell two stories, one real one fake, and laugh and joke about it with host Cutter as they enjoy storytelling while he tries to figure out which story is the real one.

EPISODE TRANSCRIPT:
Provided by Otter.ai

Cutter  0:00  
Good morning, good afternoon and good evening everyone. My name is Cutter, though you may know me as three beers in a coat on air on HD one, and welcome to this episode of, You'll never believe me, But. You'll never believe me, but is a storytelling podcast being produced here at WKNC about lying to me, every episode I have a guest on, they tell me two stories, one real and one fake. And I have to decide which is real between them. For those of you that are new here, or for those of you that need a quick refresher, I'm going to run down the three rules we have here. Before we get into today's episode. Rule number one, your story should not do significant damage to anyone else or their character. We're not trying to be outwardly mean to anyone other than ourselves. Rule number two, if someone else is featured in the story, you must either have their permission to say their name or use a fake name for them. You agreed to come on the show and tell these stories. But unless they agreed to have these stories told, just use a fake name. And rule number three, and this is the easiest one. All stories should start with: You'll never believe me but and then a brief synopsis before starting the story, just so that we all know what we're getting into, and as a nice little nod to the show's title. So with all that housekeeping stuff out of the way, let's go ahead and get into today's episode. Today's guest is Caitlin WKNC, DJ content creator and all around awesome person that I have wanted to have on my show for a while. Caitlin, how are you doing? 

Caitlin  1:27  
I'm good. How are you?

Cutter  1:29  
I'm doing wonderful. I'm so glad to get you in the studio because you were here a lot. But I don't see you around. I think our hours just don't line up.

Caitlin  1:36  
Yeah, I just I kind of float around. I'm, I'm so awkward. I'm very active in the discord. But when I come in here, like I kind of just do my thing. And then I leave like I rarely ever say hi to anybody unless like they say hi to me because I don't, I feel like I'm intruding. Like sometimes I'll say hi to Jamie. Sure. Lovely advisor, but I kind of just float in, float out.

Cutter  1:57  
Yeah

Caitlin  1:57  
You know how it is

Cutter  1:57  
Absolutely no, I do the same thing. I come in and I come in, you're now in my little cave that I basically every time I show up, I say hi to Jamie normally cuz she's right out there on the way in. We'll chat for a few minutes. And then I will close the door and sit here and edit or record or do whatever in my little cave. And it's so nice. Well, I'm honored to have you on you are a phenomenal storyteller in writing. Because you write a lot of the blog posts that we have at WKNC

Caitlin  2:25  
Thank you. Yeah, I am a content creator here for the blog. Um, I don't know, it's always just come naturally to me. I love telling stories. But when I tell them out loud, I'm like, notorious for like going back and be like, wait, but I forgot. I have to tell like this whole backstory. So I have practice telling my story today so that I have it in somewhat of a linear order. I was like doing it to my roommate, like over and over again last night while she was cleaning her room, and she was like, I've heard these stories a million times and I was like sorry. But yeah, writing is my preferred medium but..

Cutter  2:57  
sure. 

Caitlin  2:58  
You know, it's always fun to try something new.

Cutter  3:01  
I'm glad that you'll try something new. I've been reading a lot of your blog posts in preparation just to get a glimpse. And it's I don't know, I'm just very excited to have you on because if it's anything like your writing, I am super stoked. To have you tell me these stories. 

Caitlin  3:15  
Thank you. I appreciate it. 

Cutter  3:16  
Yeah, no pressure, but 

Caitlin  3:18  
no pressure. But if your stories aren't good, your fired

Cutter  3:20  
but if you're, yeah, I can't fire you are way above me on that chain. I'm pretty sure you could fire me if you really wanted to. 

Caitlin  3:28  
I don't think so. Maybe.

Cutter  3:30  
we won't explore that. Well, unless you have any questions for me. I'd say let's just jump into your stories. 

Caitlin  3:37  
Okay. 

Cutter  3:38  
All right. Caitlin. Take it away.

Caitlin  3:41  
You'll never believe me. But one time I served Panthers player Luke Kuechly at a restaurant and I didn't realize it was him.

Cutter  3:48  
Oh my goodness. Okay. I'm gonna be honest with you I'm a big Panthers fan. I love football. I have grown up being a Panthers fan. And Luke Kuechly was my idol when I played football for like a few years in middle school or sorry, a year in middle school. So I am That's amazing. By the way. Yeah, please. How do we get there?

Caitlin  4:08  
Yeah, so in high school, I worked at this like, restaurant obviously. I worked at this restaurant, it was like a quick service restaurant, kind of like a Panera type setup. Like you walk in, you go up to register, somebody takes your order. They give you like a number or a pager. You sit down and then we bring your food out to you 

Cutter  4:28  
Amazing sure. 

Caitlin  4:29  
So it's not like a waiter or waitress type situation, 

Cutter  4:31  
Right.

Caitlin  4:32  
And in this particular shift, I'm, I'm working at the end register Oh, and I should say, um, I work in a shopping center that was right across from another shopping center that had a bouji gym. Okay, and people would come in in work out clothes and athleisure all the time. 

Cutter  4:50  
Sure, sure. Yeah. 

Caitlin  4:51  
So, you know, something I was used to and not something I was super ever fazed by

Cutter  4:56  
right and where'd you go to high school?

Caitlin  4:58  
Um, I am from Charlotte so I went to high school at Ardey Kell.

Cutter  5:02  
Oh, hey, I know I have family who went Ardey Kell so awesome. 

Caitlin  5:06  
Wow. Okay, we can talk about that later. 

Cutter  5:07  
Yeah absolutely.

Caitlin  5:10  
So I yeah, so I was used to the gym people coming in at that end register so like, it would be odd for like somebody else working like on the line to like come up to me to talk to me because we're kind of busy it was like dinner time and I was kinda like off like a little bit to the side like just by myself right so I'm taking people's orders and stuff. This gym bro 

Cutter  5:35  
Sure yeah, 

Caitlin  5:36  
Very buff 

Cutter  5:36  
yeah 

Caitlin  5:37  
comes up. I don't think anything of it. I take his order. You know, he gives me his credit card. I swipe it, I give it back, whatever, like normal interaction 

Cutter  5:46  
Yeah totally. 

Caitlin  5:46  
And whatever. I'm just I take a few more orders. 5-10 minutes later, my ...

Episode 9 features the stories of couples who met, got engaged or married in Coney Island, all taken from the History Project’s oral history archive. Visitors to our exhibition center often tell us that they or their parents or grandparents met or had their first date in Coney Island. Over the years, we’ve witnessed marriage proposals on the Wonder Wheel and weddings and wedding party rides on the Cyclone roller coaster. 

Many a Coney Island courtship of the 20th century began on the beach and continued with a stroll on the boardwalk and ride on the Steeplechase horses. Steeplechase Park founder George C. Tilyou famously observed of his mechanical horse race ride that “the young men like it because it gives them a chance to hug the girls; the girls like it, because it gives them a chance to get hugged.” 

The oral histories in the podcast are with Ellen Abrams, Michael Liff, Max and Stef, Tara Altebrando, Gina Femia, and The Reverend Cliff Herring. The interviews were conducted by Charles Denson, Katya Kumkova, Ali Lemer and Tricia Vita between 2014 and 2021. You can search and listen online to over 390 oral history interviews, including the ones featured in this podcast, via https://www.coneyislandhistory.org/oral-history-archive. This episode was produced by Charles Denson, Ali Lemer and Tricia Vita. Music by Blue Dot Sessions. 

Oh no! Scarlett’s beloved stuffed doggies are missing! She left them in Santa Monica and now it’s up to her dad to find and save them. But things don’t go as planned. His superhero suit is at the dry cleaners (how else can he fly?!), his car is out of gas, and what good is a turbo-powered excavator if there is a ton of traffic (wait… why is he driving an excavator?)? Will dad rescue the doggies and reunite them with Scarlett? Tune in to find out! Based on a true story (kind of).  TheBestWhateverEver.com

NEWSFLASH: This is the final episode of Season 1! But don’t worry, we’ll be back soon with all-new episodes for Season 2. We’ll revisit some of your favorite Best Whatever Ever! characters and meet all new ones! See you soon!

===================

As Japan gets back into full-on Corona mode, the flailing Japanese business sector gets weird with it.

Intercultural business consultant Rochelle Kopp looks at outside-the-box ideas to help us pick out the winners, the losers, and the RENTAL FERRIS WHEELS.

Ollie recommends a man-powered cruise in which the galley might have bitten off more river than they can chew, without loosening their dentures.

Bobby checks out a river cruise business model that's equal parts savvy and sadism.

Topics discussed on this episode range from:

• Seasons Greetings
• Why Rochelle is doing the opposite of most people in Japan 
• Ollie's online gigs coming back
• Japan's latest attempts to make online work work and why the Japanese management style makes it difficult
• Bobby's appearance on the BBC and how thanks to clever editing you might not have noticed that the people were crazy
• The subset of Japanese English speakers who are nuts, and why that's not racist 
• Productivity issues in the new work environment 
• What aspects of work culture that we might be losing our missing and how it might affect business long term
• The crazy trend of turning everything into a rental space
• What's innovation and what's desperation
• The effect of work at home on the home relationship ecosystem
• How conducive are these things to actually focusing and working? 
• Murder mystery hotel rooms
• Bobby mentions a hotel castle in Kyoto but he's wrong, it's Ozu Castle in Ehime
• What Rochelle thinks is going to survive the pandemic, workstyle wise

The extras this week should have been two whole other episodes. You're gonna want to hear them. Subscribe already, geez.

Topics Discussed on the Extras:

• Bobby's super niche vegetable-themed parody haiku
• Ollie and Bobby bickering about how to run the show in front of the guest, as they do (EVERY WEEK)
• Rochelle's ridiculously ill-advised River Cruise recommendation
• Conbini-Boys piss taking
• The Queen Beetle which is a boat, or whatever
• Microsoft Teams productivity innovations
• Rochelle's hashtag, #naichaueigo #泣いちゃう英語 English that makes people cry, funny instances of it in our daily lives, how it blew up on Twitter, and how occasionally we catch ourselves assuming something is wrong that isn't wrong, like WET AGED BEEF
• The specific toilet related subthread re: the above
• Rochelle's separate Japanese language and English social media accounts and which one she has to block more people on
• The problem Bobby encounters using ONE twitter account for all of his content
• What Ollie and Bobby think about the assertion that there's no SARCASM in JAPAN and WHY it is that people tend to think that Japanese people don't get sarcasm
• Internet slang that probably didn't need to be explained, sorry
• Threads: A thread
• The corona-virus being blamed on foreigner follow-up
• How many Japanese people are actually using Go To Travel
• Third Waves around the world
• The obvious reasons that the pandemic has gotten worse
• Whether or not Rochelle ever found the factor X for Japan's corona success
• The real skinny on whether or not Rochelle enjoys the JBRC humor and her appearances on the show

It's $5/month, and we rely on our listeners like to support the show, so those who can't afford it can continue to enjoy it for free each week. Thank you for your support!

We welcome back Eric, who was our special guest on the Halloween episode and a long time resident of Sapporo, Japan. 

Theme parks are very popular in Japan for families and couples, even good for date spots, if you are that way inclined. We share our experiences of visiting some of the major amusement parks in Japan, namely Universal Studios and Disneyland/Disney Sea and we also compare them to their American counterparts. 

We also talk about the phenomenon of Japanese adults being obsessed with Disney, season pass tickets, our dislike for water parks and zoos, the weird and creepy Rusutsu Resort theme park in Hokkaido, rides breaking down and people getting stuck on them, sightseeing spots in Sapporo, and much much more.
