Molly Seidel's airplane story

Perch wrote:

Hotel bar in Tampa during baseball spring training. Watching Peter Gammons on ESPN talking about spring training. Look to my left and seated 3 empty stools away is Peter Gammons. He looks my way and I say " This Gammons guy is good, really knows his baseball." Gammons gets a confused look like he's deciding whether to say who he is and thank me for the compliment or play dumb about who he is. I make his decision easy by adding "Don't worry, I'll let you enjoy your beer in peace. " We never said another word to each other. I don't know if Siedel is being truthful or not but I can absolutely see her not wanting to identify herself.

I had beers one night with some guy named Dave Matthews and some mutual friends. He told me he was a musician, but I had never heard of him or his band.

In some thread on here, there was a poster with an obviously fake story about Emma Coburn in which she tried to shoplift energy bars, winked at the poster in a grocery store while demanding that the cashier scan 15 energy bars one by one to prevent what she called "interfettence," and kept yawning at the cashier. It was looney fiction. I think the poster is saying Molly's story is similarly fake (I personally disagree; I don't think Molly is making it up).

this is a well-known and hilarious copypasta. sounds like you need to brush up on your memes and internet tropes my friend.

Everyone knows that was Ben Blankenship. How did you guys confuse Emma with Ben?

All that the incident, assuming it happened as told, probably means is that Molly has more name recognition than face recognition; she is after all no Sydney McLaughlin, a face any guy would easily remember.

I've seen the story with Galen several times.

I think the MeHereYouWhere may be made up, but the poster presented very specific details. That said, it could be a troll like Coach JS. Hell, it could be Greg!

It was completely made up. I think most people got the sarcasm, but obviously this being the internet, it was missed by some people.

His story was clearly made up but I think what he said happened probably happened. I’m guessing whoever showed molly her training, thought it was her but wasn’t sure and was trying to see what she would say

She seems balanced and super-chill in all the interviews I've seen about her after she won her bronze.

She had a eating disorder. There is nothing balanced about that.

The whole point of why I think this story is fake is it makes you think she "super-chill" - not into the fame. In reality, it's the opposite. This is what we call the humble brag.

*Molly

don't believe it either wrote:

Even if it's fake, it would make a good skit on SNL or an opener, etc.

I've never seen anyone have issues with her, although the humble-brag, if true, is a disappointment. But fame is a drug and it opens doors for better opportunities in life, so that is why you see more people trying to get famous even for stupid crap--it opens doors and connections.

how does someone take the time to analyze someone's exact training AND somehow find out that your airplane seatmate runs...without realizing that it's that person?

Answer: He is a DAM(dumb ass man). There can be no other explanation.

I mean, it is weird that this guy automatically thinks he knows more than the woman sitting next to him about running...

That's not the vibe I got from the tweet. Just because someone gives you advice doesn't mean they think they know more than you.

Could it be the guy sitting next to Molly on the plane was Ben Blankenship🤔

That would take the story to a whole other level.
