What Was That Like - True Stories. Real People.

This is Scott, host of the show.

On
most episodes of What Was That Like, we talk to a regular person who
has been through something extremely unusual – like a rattlesnake
bite, a plane crash, a housefire rescue – we have more than 250
episodes with those kinds of stories.

Today’s
episode has several incredible stories, but it’s a little
different.

You
may have heard me talk about the Raw Audio episodes. These are
exclusive, bonus episodes that are only available to listeners who
support the show. In the Raw Audio episodes, we typically have 3
stories of something crazy that happened, and we also hear the actual
911 call that took place during that incident.

So
today, I wanted to give you an idea of what these Raw Audio episodes
sound like. And there’s another benefit of being a supporter –
you get ALL of the What Was That Like episodes, including the Tuesday
Question episodes, without any ads. Just pure content.

After
today’s stories, I’ll tell you how you can sign up to be a
supporter, if you want to. And if not, that’s okay too. I hope you
enjoy this episode.

Do you remember the TV show called Locked Up Abroad? It’s no
longer in active production, but you can still see past seasons on
some different platforms like Hulu and Apple TV.

Every
episode of the show was a true story of someone who was traveling
outside their own country. Actually I seem to recall that most of the
people were Americans traveling outside the US. And they would make a
really bad decision to do something like trying to smuggle drugs or
other illegal things into this other country. And of course they
would get caught, and now they’re arrested and in jail in a place
where they don’t really know the rules or procedures, and there
might not even be anyone there who speaks English. It’s a true
nightmare scenario.

My
guest today is Emily. She has personally been through that type of
experience, and she told that story here on the podcast 5 years ago.

She
was the one who tried to get through airport security, while having
bags of cocaine taped to her body. That was not a good day for Emily.
But wait til you hear what she’s done with her life since then.

I have two children, one boy and one girl. Actually they’re not
children, they’re adults and they’re on their own now of course.

But
I still have a couple of young lives that I’m responsible for. I’m
talking about my two dogs, Lilly and Fenway, they are both Yorkies,
and obviously I would do anything for those little pups. They’re
actually getting up there in dog years now – they’re 12 and 13.
But they’re in good health so far, we go for a walk twice a day,
and they still love chasing a ball sometimes. But I know they are in
their golden years so I’m trying to appreciate every minute I have
with them.

I
think anyone who’s a dog lover can identify with wanting to protect
your dog from any type of harm that might come their way. I mean, I
don’t want them to run into the street, I don’t want them to eat
something that might be harmful, and I surely don’t want them to
get into a fight with another dog.

My
guest today goes by the nickname “T”. Not the word “tea”,
just the letter “T”. She found herself in a situation where her
dog was in trouble. And she had to make a split-second decision.

And
I’m gonna do something here that I don’t normally do – I’m
gonna tell you ahead of time that today, T and her wonderful dog are
doing fine. The story does have a happy ending. I don’t usually
have spoilers here in the opener, but I know some listeners would not
want to hear a story if the dog doesn’t make it. And I don’t
blame you – I wouldn’t want to hear that either. But you’re
safe with this one.

So I
hope you enjoy the story of T, and how she saved her dog’s life.
