Holly’s Perspective (06:06 - 10:43)

The Real Reason Revealed (16:05 - 17:41)

• The hosts (and Justin) are incredulous but she offers a receipt as proof.
• Quote:
  “I feel terrible because I left so abruptly, but it was not for another guy. It’s an embarrassing reason and it’s gonna sound ridiculous, but I left for a pair of pants.” – Holly (16:25)
