You’ll Never Believe Me But… is a lighthearted storytelling podcast about what’s real, what’s fake, and what’s funny.

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening everyone. My name is Cutter that you may know me as three bears 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 gonna rundown 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 we all know what we're getting into. And as 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 Grant a DJ social media mastermind and an important part of WKNC. And someone who has been following the show since the pitch grant, how are you doing today?
Grant 1:28

Cutter 1:30
I'm doing wonderful. I'm so glad to have you in. You are the resident Social Media Manager here if that's correct.
Grant 1:36
Yep. I'm the promotions director. So I work with a lot of venues locally to get there, there's stuff on our social media for money. And I also shitpost just constantly because, well, fun fact. Now we're not bleeding followers anymore, because every time I know you were saying this earlier, the whole the whole vision is every time someone sees a tweet from WKNC. I want them to be like, ooh, another one another, another banger.
Cutter 2:03
Another banger. I did see that. I did see that one get posted. I like that one.

Grant 2:28
No it is not.
Cutter 2:28
You are well aware of how this works. Because you've been keeping up with it for a while you were the first person to reach out to me when I posted a call for people to come in and come on my show.
Grant 2:40
I love hearing myself talk.
Cutter 2:42

Cutter 3:00
All right. Well, Grant, if you you know how the show works. If you have any lingering questions before we get into it. Ask them now or we'll go ahead and get started with your first story.
Grant 3:10
I'm all good. I don't think I have any questions.
Cutter 3:13
All right, well, then we will go ahead and get started. Grant, take it away.
Grant 3:17
You will never believe me. But I thought I was going on a date a couple years ago and I wound up almost dying in a world that
Cutter 3:25
That sounds okay, there's a lot to start with. I have so many questions and I'm gonna guess you're gonna answer like five of them within the first like, minute, please. How did this all start?
Grant 3:36
Alright, so in early High School, there's this girl I was I was talking to and I wanted to get to know more intimately.
Cutter 3:45
Sure, sure.
Grant 3:46
Yeah. And and so we were talking about you know, at some point going on either a date or just hanging out in general. She was just seemed like a cool person to be friends with too. But one day, just out of nowhere, she she invited me to go like rollerblading.
Cutter 4:03
Okay, nice, yeah.
Grant 4:04
And so she she had just gotten her license, I believe. I hadn't had my license yet. And I was also like, sophomore, sophomore, junior year. Yeah. And so, obviously, she wasn't the best driver. I don't think anybody who just gets the licenses, but I think it's a little special. Um, like, like, she was like a special case. Kind of not very good at all at the time. I don't know, I haven't talked to her and gotten an update on how good she is at driving since but, uh, so pretty much out of nowhere a little bit later at night. She just asked me if I wanted to go rollerblading with her. And it turns out that her friend was there too.
Cutter 4:42
Okay, sure.
Grant 4:43
Um, and so I was like, cool. That's, that's fine. But it was also like, already kind of almost like nine or 10 o'clock.
Cutter 4:50
Okay, yeah
Grant 4:51
around that point. So it was like, okay, Sun's already going down. Cool. Let's Let's see. So I was like, Okay, oh, she's just gonna pick me this someplace in town. Nope. It was like, literally an hour away.
Cutter 5:04
an hour away?
Grant 5:05
Yeah. So um, yeah, I lived in Wilmington at the time. And it was in Jacksonville, North Carolina, which is
Cutter 5:11
oh my goodness, that's far
Grant 5:13
I know. I know.
Cutter 5:15
And, and she was like, Yeah, I've got I've had my license for like, a month. I could totally make this hour long drive at 9pm
Grant 5:21
Yeah, absolutely. No, the thing is, you know, you got to drive back.
Cutter 5:28
That's true. Yeah, that's half the trouble.
Grant 5:31
Yeah. So yeah, we just sort of, did it. Um,
Cutter 5:36
So you made it there safely?
Grant 5:38
So I believe we made it there somewhat safely. Yeah.
Cutter 5:41
Okay, sure
Grant 5:42
I mean, I think there was something that I don't know she might have like, almost like gone at a red light or something and really freaked out but like, other than that, she was kind of okay.
Cutter 5:53
Sure, sure.
Grant 5:56
the place that we went there. The place we went to it, I cannot express enough how shady it was.
Cutter 6:03
Oh, yeah.
Grant 6:04
Anybody who has ever been to Jacksonvil...
