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.

Good morning. Good afternoon and good evening everyone. My name is Cutter, though you may know me as Three bears in a Coat on air on HD-1, and welcome to the second episode of, “You’ll never believe me, but…”
Cutter 00:20
“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 for starting the story, just so we all know what we’re getting into, and is a nice little nod to the show’s title. So with all of that housekeeping stuff out of the way, let’s go ahead and get into today’s episode. Today’s guest is Maddie, a good friend of mine at the station and WKNC’s general manager who does a ton for the station. Maddie, how you doing?
Maddie 01:29
I’m doing pretty well. Thanks for having me. This is exciting
Cutter 01:31
Thank you for coming on the podcast and being my first guest ever. I’m so excited that it got to be you. Are you pumped to tell me your two stories?
Maddie 01:41
Oh, yes, definitely.
Cutter 01:42
Very interested. I was told a little birdie told me that you were coming up with stories during your cycling class. Is that true?
Maddie 01:50
Okay, that’s partially true. The thing is, like, I came up with them over the weekend, but you know, like, since one is fake, I’m going to have to make it seem real, you know. So I need to like elaborate on the details for that story. And I was talking with Jamie about that, who’s the station advisor, like an hour or two ago, right before I left for my class. And so my class was a gym class where we ride bikes for an hour and get really sweaty. So while I was doing that, I was ironing out the details to my fake story. So yes, I guess that’s partially true.
Cutter 02:23
That is awesome. I’m very excited to see if your stories are cycling inspired or not. That is unfortunate. But if it is the gig as well, unless you have any other questions for me, we will go ahead and get started.
Maddie 02:36
I don’t think so.
Cutter 02:36
All right, then take it away.
Maddie 02:40
You’ll never believe me but I got stuck in the washing machine when I was playing hide and seek with my brothers as a young child. So I say that but it might actually be like somewhat believable because kids are like stupid.
Cutter 02:54
Yeah, kids are really dumb.
Maddie 02:55
Ya know, Yeah.
Cutter 02:57
So I want to get this out of the way. I so my family was very adamant that I was not to go in the washing machine as a child, they that was something that hammered in to me a ton. So is that the same for you before we get into how you got stuck?
Maddie 03:11
I don’t think Well, I mean, you say that How much did they have to like tell you not to get into the washing machine?
Cutter 03:19
Okay, well, it did come up like, way more than it should have I was definitely a little bit of like a monkey like child as I was just like flying around everywhere. All right. And so the washing machine was always one of those things where I was like, ooh, let’s get inside and spin around. Okay, that’s me. Please tell me how you got stuck in the washing machine.
Maddie 03:42
Well, we were playing hide and seek I don’t know are you like an only child Do you have a younger sibling?
Cutter 03:46
No I’ve got a younger sibling
Maddie 03:47
Did you play hide and seek as a kid?
Cutter 03:49
I did
Maddie 03:50
Yeah, we used to do that all the time. And this is I’m not gonna say completely out of my memory range but I was definitely younger than 10 so this story is more like based off of what my mom has told me because I don’t remember a lot of it. Maybe blocked half of it out because it was like a traumatic experience and stuff but as children my two younger brothers they’re twins and two years below me we played hide and seek a lot we had like a fairly big house I guess so lots of places to hide and stuff but
Cutter 04:21
absolutely
Maddie 04:22
you know when you play hide and seek you just oh you shouldn’t go in the washing machine and like you said I feel like I’m sure my mom or dad was like hey guys when you play hide and seek don’t go on the washing machine but maybe it should have been drilled in my head more because I was like, let’s go into the washing machine. And I saw like it’s a pretty good hiding spot. I feel like I’m in this house. I don’t know like if this is no I feel like it’s pretty standard like the washing machine was was its own room like it had its own door and you could like walk in there and fit in there and stuff. And I remember also during Hide and Seek they were like the laundry hampers kind of And we’d all we’d often hide in those or even just like kind of behind the door, but then leave the door open and stuff like that. But I guess this one time I decided to amp it up a bit and be like, it’s washing machine time. And like I said, I was really young. I don’t know how old six, seven. I don’t know. But I apparently got stuck in the washing machine. I again, like because this was so long ago. I don’t remember a lot of it. But I probably sat there for a while like, Oh, sure. 10, 20, 30 minutes, maybe more just waiting for someone to come and find me. But I guess like, it’s a good thing that no one found me because that means I picked a really good hiding spot. Yeah. I think what happened is like they couldn’t find me, um, my brothers that is and I guess like how we play…
