Is that your bassoon I hear playing

It's lovely. I think of it

Oh, that's really

Well, hello there, Sting!

I know it sounds crazy.

I'm sorry. Did you say
he-he poisoned your dog?

Well, it was a

My last relationship
lasted six years.

We met under false pretenses.

It was at a hot springs in Iceland,
on a trip my sister dragged me on.

Now, I hate nature,
I hate traveling,

but I didn't tell my ex
that. Emma. That's my ex.

So, she thought she was getting

"adventurous actor guy,"

so she moved in. And
she brought with her

her 7-year-old daughter. Lucy.

I tried to give
Lucy some stability.

You know, a-a routine,

and I would cook her favorite
omelet in the morning,

and she loved it,
and I loved it,

but my ex... didn't.

So, I booked a Caribbean cruise

- for our anniversary.
- That's romantic.

Yeah, that's what she thought.

And then I clarified

it was actually a
family fun cruise.

So, day three, there
was an island tour,

and Lucy and I just
wanted to skip it.

But, Emma insisted that Lucy go.

And they never came back.

- They went missing?
- No.

They flew home from St. Croix.

So, I stayed on the
family fun cruise

for the next five days, alone,

except for Bugs
Bunny and Porky Pig,

who I had paid extra to be
at our anniversary dinner.

Emma thought a hard break

would be best for Lucy,

so I really haven't

And I've been haunted by it.

And by Bugs and Porky.

You know, I don't share this

with people because I'm,
frankly, embarrassed by it.

But, I'm telling
you this because...
