Voiceover: Tonight's episode feature's former activist Les Wangela.
Les: I'd had a good life. I'd seen a lot of poverty, a lot of inequality, and I'd *done* something about it. I was a fulltime activist, much more than fulltime actually. We had some big wins in there, for sure. The whales, koalas, pollution credits. Yeah, big big stuff.
Anyway, the board had been badgering me to take a holiday for a few years, so I did - packed my bags and flew to the Hamptons, upstate New York. It was a bit confronting initially, I'll be honest. Such wealth, such privilege. Very white bread, very little ethnic or cultural diversity. I don't think there was a primary school dropout there.
Frank Wooldi: Well when Les returned, you could tell something was different. He had this dull look in his eyes - there was no denying it. He stayed with us for another two months, did some more fine work - set in train things that are still going to this day, in fact - but after that he was gone.
Les: I couldn't, after having seen what I'd seen, go back. Just couldn't. My life as an activist had been so full of challenges, so what was another one? (laughs hysterically)
Voicever: Les enrolled in an MBA at the internationally renowned Chicago School of Economics, and thanks to hard work and, more importantly, making the right connections, ended up with plum jobs at Goldman Sachs and then the US Treasury.
Les: I do look back sometimes, thinking about my old life. But I'm much happier now. I buy over $10,000 worth of skincare products every month. I recreate on private beaches and drink at exclusive clubs. I've just gotten my third trophy wife, and this one is younger, dumber and gives better BJs than the last two.
Cherry: Les is a wonderful husband. He has so much money, and he let's me use quite a bit of it.
