Have you not heard this cue? No. And Tumblr. No, there is a. They're coming after you for saying that you wouldn't date fat chicks, which made me feel kind of bad. Because you never said that. I never said that. In fact, I've said the opposite. Still, you're taking lumps.

I hear on. I didn't even know Tumblr was still a thing. Oh Well, I never said it. I've only only said the opposite of that. I said I've dated some girls with a little eff to him and him and not seen anything to complain or apologize for. Well, there you go. How'd you find it? Yeah, I saw it on Twitter. Uh-huh. How'd you find it? I saw it on Twitter. I Got to apologize like right before you got here. I had a panic attack so like I'm not Top of my game. What made why do you have a panic attack? What are you panicking about nothing?

That's the thing that they just come on for some reason and I get very like sweaty and Just don't want to move how did you did are these diagnosed as panic attacks or maybe they're, are they could they be more? No, it's just that. Like I'm okay. I'm not a mild heart attack or anything. I don't think so. Yeah, I mean, I don't have occasionally. What's that?

I said, oh man, I hope not. Yeah, I mean, you sure that? No, I just get sweaty and I don't want to like move and I just I'd have to hang out for like a half hour and then they'll go away Sometimes I'll take half his annex or something How long has this been going on? Oh, years years. Yeah, have you heard of this? Yeah, I know he's I didn't know that it was so frequent that I was a thing I know it's happened once or twice. I didn't know you were doing it like minutes before we recorded. Yeah, like I thought it would go away.

So I was tempted to say like can we do 630? But then I was like, I don't want to inconvenience everybody. And it'll probably go away by then. And like so just before you guys got here was when it sort of like started to taper off. And you don't want to move. What does that mean? You don't want to move. I just want to just like want to sit in bed or like like lay on the couch or whatever.

So I don't have to. It got I get shaky and sweaty and, you know, and it just makes me want to like sit there and wait for it to pass. How long is it usually take? Like half hour sometimes. 40 minutes. Is this, I mean, you could be honest with this. Are you trying to one up me because last week I said I was like in a bit of a funk, so

you're trying to like, now you have a panic attack. Everybody feels bad for you. Is that what's going on? We get a TV show. You have to get a more successful TV show It takes age to the community pool. You have a pool in your yard Well, I saw through it probably exposed you and you have no idea what brings it on It could be an absolutely nothing. There's nothing really like Like I was just late in bed watching Deadwood earlier, took a shower, got out of the shower,

just was gonna lie in bed until you guys got here, but as soon as probably around 5.30, it started. And I just, oh, fuck. And there's nothing I can do about it. There's nothing. I know, what was the last time you had one? Probably a couple of weeks ago. And they're coming more frequently, you think?

No. No. No. There's just, there's no origin, there's no like, oh, I'm panicking about doing the show or I'm panicking about. You were panicking about doing Tom's too good? No, I said that's not because of that. Just going to get into a panic.

Is it like the breathing, like the gasping air thing, right? Is it that? Yeah, a little bit. Yeah, I've only had like two panic attacks in my life, and that was it. It was like the lack of breathing was the hard part for me. Yeah, yeah, you take those like shallow breaths. Yeah, it sucks. You mentioned cue, you're not feeling all that great last week.

Yeah, yeah, I've been a little bit of funk lately, so but please, I don't want to talk about that. Now, Walt, we got a panic attack on our hands. I think we've all been in a bit of a hole for like this month. Yeah. You know, I, I mean, I, I don't even, I don't even if I should even talk about it, but I, I was, I've been a real rough spot for like a month, but something happened on Saturday that like, washed it all away, but it wasn't a good thing, but like washed it all away and just kinda like made me reset.

And like, I wish it didn't happen, but I mean, I wish it had happened, if it had to happen, I wish it had happened happen, but I mean, I wish it had happened. If it had to happen, I wish it had happened like two weeks earlier. But, um, fuck man, it was, uh, it was a worst night of my, I don't know, you know, you're having a pentagon. I'm going to tell you about the worst night of my life. I don't want to do that.

No, it's okay because I need to like sort of cool out anyway. So if I'm not talking and I'm just listening, that's fine. Well, I hate it on Saturday. I actually, do you remember when you guys called me Sunday when you guys are doing space monkeys. Yeah, did I sound odd? No, I don't think so. I didn't think so. Did you? Well, I mean, did you? I did not my friend. You sounded okay to me. Did I sound okay? Because I had just like I had been sleeping for about 15 minutes because I had been up for like 30 some hours straight.

What had happened I wasn't in Atlantic City and we're supposed to I had to come back on Saturday night rather than Sunday because I was we're supposed to watch my niece or Debbie's niece Which is my niece to but it's her brother's daughter on Sunday, and that's why I wasn't I was Unable to record or last weekend as well as being in Atlantic City So we actually came home a night earlier and when we got home my my youngest daughter told my wife that she was Going up to see friends who just started college up north and she would be home at like midnight and I don't want to get I don't want to get upset. Why was she staying overnight or she was- Well, she wasn't supposed to stay overnight. And so she said she'd be home at midnight or between 11 and midnight. And we texted her around 11.30 and she's always on top of shit

and never would not answer a text, but she doesn't answer a story, answer any text. would not answer a text, but she doesn't answer, it starts answering any texts. And so by, so by 12.30, I'm more annoyed than, like worried, because I'm like, I can't believe that she would do this. But then by 1.30, it was fucking full blown, like panic.

Like she's in a ditch. Yeah, so he start contacting the people that she was supposed to have gone out with I don't even know if I should tell this but like it was so like brutal that like it just like I said it just kind of like washed everything away from me and so we contact her friends and it turns out she was she wasn't even with the friend she was supposed to say she said she was what she lied to us and she went to a concert in New York. Whoa holy shit! By all the she? 18. Okay. So we're like, this is one friend says like the last I heard heard, she was going to New York and she was going

to see this concert, she said. So the last train, so we go over to the train station and her car is there. And when that last train comes and she doesn't have to train, it's like 2.30 in the morning. I have a breakdown, man. I mean, I went from fucking like a virtual breakdown. My wife was the one that kept it together. But you thought something had happened to her. Oh well yeah because the why isn't she texting us? Why isn't she calling us? What's going on? Did you like?

And but she's not on that train. So we call, um, we call the cops because the last we take our phone or a pinger phone. What's it called? Panger phone and it was at a train station at midnight in New York. We're like, why didn't she get on the train then? And so we call the cops in Middletown and they come over and they take a report. in Middletown and they come over and they take a report, I have never, I have nothing bad, I mean, I have nothing bad to say about the police officers, but my God, I have never dealt with such horrible communicators and like things that were said that were,

I was just, that just put me in a place that I was just like mortified. What, you know, they're, what's it called? They're not their bedside manner, as I would it's called. Yeah, yeah. Because like, you know, they said they're going to do this stuff and we then they so they told us to go home. And I'm just like, I'm a mess, a literal mess. And they put the police show up at our house and he said they pegged ping the phone And it's it was in Jones Beach

And it's in the water they told us that's what he said that's what he said to me. I don't even know so So obviously you start feeling the worst. Yeah. So then it's like, he's like, well, the next train that comes because the train stopped on Saturday night. He goes, maybe she'll be on that first train back. So we go over there and wait for the fucking train back and when she doesn't get off that train.

You're thinking the worst. There isn no. Yeah, because why isn't she contacting us? There's no, there's no other train. Why is she contacting us? Like this is like never happened before. Never. She would never do this unless she couldn't contact us. So then I am a fucking mess. And my wife says, what about your friend Troy? Can you call him? Maybe he could tell us what the tell us the direction to go to. And oh my God, I can't even say enough. I call him about seven o'clock in the morning.

So this is seven hours of like hell. Not knowing what's going on. He was pretty awesome and he, I woke him up. And he keep told us all the right things, certainly didn't talk to us like the other cop did, like how could the other cops say that? Even if he knew that, why would he say that? It's the thing is coming from in the water. Yeah, that's really fun. That's so fucked up.

Why would you say that? Even like, but so he's telling me that he said, like I'm gonna, I live 20 minutes from Jones Beach, he said, and I can ride over there and I'll go talk to my buddies over there. And you know, I'll see if there's any been in Mary reports. And he goes, you know, and he asks me all the questions. And he says, well, where'd she say she was going? Did you say she was going to concert? And he said, and I said, no, she said she was, she lied and said she was going to,

to see friends at a dorm or something. And if like, if she was going to be late, all she would have to have done and said is like, hang on to sleep at a dorm or something. And if she was going to be late, all she would have to have done and said is like, hey, I'm going to sleep at this dorm. We wouldn't have known. We would have been like, okay, we wouldn't have thought anything other than like, are you not in New York? We wouldn't think like you're in New York or Jones Beach. So for her not to even like sail like an excuse was just like, it was mystifying. It was like, there isn't could be no other answer in my mind. There could be no other answer that something was seriously fucking wrong. So he was, he said,

he started, he gets up and he's on his way and he calls us and he tells us to start getting the phone lock because it's our phone. So we could see the numbers that she called before that. And then, so my wife's on the phone with 18 T, but they don't open until 9 a.m. Eastern. It's only 7 a.m. So we're like fucking again, like just constantly not knowing what to do. And then she called and was like, like, I had my friend contact you. I had a friend text you and tell you that I was gonna be staying over at a friend's house, you know, she doesn't even know that we know

that she's not even there. So she got called and that, but she said that she had someone contact us because her phone died. And when she looked at the phone that they were off by a digit, they texted us that she would be staying up there, but they texted the wrong number. Oh my God. It was Pagony. And like, all that shit that's been like fucking gone. Like washed away. Like it was never even there.

Gone like washed away like it was never even there Anything like this superseded anything is what you mean? There is nothing like that mattered and still doesn't matter You know after You know finding out everything was all right I mean I can't just fucking harrowing. I can't even tell you how like gut wrenching.

How punished is she? What's the what's going on? Yeah, well, yeah, there's there was some punishments and but like it's all like, you know, 18 years old, I mean, the only thing we can really do is like it's not her car. Right. So, you know, car privileges and everything, but... Why don't you feel she had the life? She's not... Because we told her that we told her the weekend before that. Like, you know, we don't think it's good idea to go to New York to go see a concert. You know, I just don't... I just not comfortable with

you on a train, you know, meeting somebody in New York, you know a friend that you know That's going to a concert too or meeting them up in North Jersey You know, you'll be on a train for a long time before you're with another person yada yada How many times that I lying go to New York though? You know when I was when I was you know 18 or, how many times did I not tell the truth, but I mean, she's just doing what 18 year olds do, you know, but it was, oh my God, the Troy was, I can't thank him enough for he was so like reassuring, but you can't re-reassure someone, you know, fully, but he's here and talking to him was, he was right, everything that he said was on the money. He goes, it's a good thing that she lied.

He goes, because if she told you where she was and she didn't come home, that's more concerning, he said. Oh, wow. Jesus. Well, I mean, he has a daughter. That's about that age. I think she's 18, 19. And then another one coming up, you know,

she's, I think his other daughter is like 14. How many kids do they have four? Four, yeah. Yeah, but, I mean, yeah, I, oh, I'm, I can't even thank him enough. I'm, yeah, but like I said, just like, oh, now, just having perspective now, I know it doesn't change anything from everybody else, you know, that what's been going on, but boy, because I can't be like, well, everything's better guys.

No one gives a fuck. Wow. Geez, man, that's fucking,'s that was Oh did she see? She seemed to be wishing apologetic. Oh, yeah, I mean it was just You know just the just tears and Apologies, but You just can't shake that like I feel Literally traumatized like I was the last night like I saw an accident and I'm like

was that her because she's you know she had to take her car I think it could work you know she can go to work and I'm like so I'm like yeah I feel like there's like no relaxing still but like when you called though I had just fallen asleep like a half hour into like like stuff I like you know the relief and oh god, like the sleep of like angels, like you know, the sleep of like you would never gonna have a better like lay down at like 10 a.m. when everything had been sorted out and I knew everything was okay. So I lay down, you can't fall asleep immediately, but like around quarter eleven I fall asleep and then I saw it was you and I know we had something going on

the next day. So I definitely want to take the cold and I didn't was like, I'll call him back later. So I didn't know what was going on. If you need it, something. And then when you're answering, like, hey, this is Space Monkeys. And I'm just like, oh, I feel like I had to be like, a little bit, I had to hide. I don't know why.

I just felt like I had to just be like, I'm surprised that no one picked up that. Like, because I mean, wife was like, who are you talking to? Like, I've never heard you talk like that. Like, it sounded like you were robot and like your your laugh was so fake oh I thought it was more like I can't believe these guys are bothering me no no it was more just like I didn't even know how to react it was just kind of like I was bam

boozled and then you know I was because I just fall in the sleep and then you called and it was um yeah I was trying to act as if nothing was wrong. And I felt like it was so apparent that something was wrong. I know, I didn't get that, did you, Q? Uh, no, not at all. Oh, okay. Quite the opposite.

I thought you put on a good show, my friends. Good, okay. Yeah. So, wait, let me get the timeline down. So this is post-Elanick City. Yeah, we had gotten home late, sorry, night, because we wanted to come do the thing with our niece. Right, okay.

So we get home, you know, kind of like not late, line 30. We see that, you know, that, you know, she is, she's still not home, but we know that she, where she's going supposedly, you know that you know she is she's still not home but you we know that you where she's going supposedly you know and it didn't turn out that way though. Crystal oh my god dude. Oh there it like nothing could uh yeah like you said superseded is that the word? Yeah. Yeah. Woof. That's that's like I feel but also like I know that doesn't sound like it. But the happiness and joy. At when you hear her voice like when the phone rings up, it's like zero to zero to

100, you know, like complete nutter. 100, you know, like complete nutter dismay to like Umbrile Joy and I still feel it though. She stayed it she slept in Manhattan. No, she actually went to her friends Up in North Jersey. They kept up the train back at midnight, but once her their friends in North Jersey But didn't and but texted because her phone died and texted and said that they were going to be sleeping up there, right, right, right, staying the night. And you know, I don't even know, you know, what, at a certain point, I was just like, I couldn't hear anything. Sure.

You know, she shows, she shows a text, you know, a screenshot from her friend and it's said, it looks like it's off by a number, and they text, she texted the wrong number instead of text of my wife. She texted somebody else. And you know, I mean, I don't even know, but it didn't matter. It didn't matter. It didn't matter. It just didn't matter. And like, yeah I said like it doesn't sound like it but Like they're like nothing matters at this point now. It's just like just joy Because there's a lot of parents. I mean not a lot, but there are parents who like dude story about that story in

lab Oh, oh with the girl who went missing. Right. And they just found her recently. They found her the day that like that Alicia, Alicia went missing. They found her. That's a fucked up story. It's another one where, uh, where people get upset because it's like the white woman syndrome, they call it because it's like, there's so. They call it because it's like, there's so many people going missing,

but every time there's a big story about it, it seems to be like a white girl with blonde hair. Yeah, well, I mean, this is the media, but the media like calling out the media is weird though. It's like you're the media. You carry these stories, you choose whether to carry them or not.

Like why are you blaming the public for not caring, but you didn't bring the story to the public's attention. You dropped the ball. Oh, yeah. Right. I mean, it feels like there is kind of a like people on the, you know, society only cares when these people go missing. Well, society is only hip to it when the media brings the story or or or champions the story. You're like, how are we supposed to know exactly? It's so really missing. Until like this, the media picks it up and runs with it. Oh, yeah.

Like the hell that like seven hours of pure hell is, I can't even imagine what the what the hell that I can't. It's got to be on a level that can't be like can only be measured by Saints or demons the the amount of grueling And as you're going as you're going through that she's fucking snoring away up and you're Yeah, yeah, yeah, like you had no idea It wasn't even aware that like you like, that we're at a train station

for hours waiting on every train. And when that train pulls up and she's not on it. Oh, yeah. This people get off, you know, at like, it's seven o'clock at eight o'clock. And then finally at eight thirty, we get a call. Did you do that thing that they do in movies all the time where like you saw someone that looks like her front behind and you're rushed up to having grabbed her and spun her around? Well what the person got off the train, it was like some little skinny girl, like skinny

lady, it wasn't not a girl, but a lady. So my heart, like I was hopeful because I seen these skinny legs get off. You know what? But you know, you're not Alicia, you stupid bitch. You're just hope stash, though. Oh gosh, though, but. That sounds worse than a panic attack. I gotta say.

I know, yeah, not to, yeah, don't, I'm not telling you. I'm not just this, I'm not a fucker. I'm just diminishing any of you, because I feel like I feel bad that you're like having panic attacks, especially if you have no rhyme or reason.

Yeah, I don't know what it is. I don't know why it happens. It happens to a lot of people though. Yeah, I hear about them. And you're not prescribing it. Just prescribing anything to help. Well, I could take Xanix if I want, but I don't like Xanix, it just makes me tired.

But is it better to be tired? Sometimes I'll take like half a one and that, that'll knock it out. But like, when it out, but like, if it's when it starts, it's like by the time I take the Xanix, it's like by the time the Xanix kicks in, the panic attack is subsiding already. So it's a kind of useless reliant.

I think anyway, look out, I'm glad to hear that she's okay. Yeah, yeah, I feel fine now, yeah. I was my shirt is still fucking soap with sweat, but what about I feel all right? I feel fine now. Yeah, I was my shirt is still fucking soap with sweat, but what I feel all right, I feel fine good That is I'm sorry that happened to you man. That's Like my stomach hurts thinking about you feeling that bad But like it's perspective and but I realized that it's only perspective for myself. Well, you know what, bud?

It reminds me of when I had my brain issues and there were times where I was like, I'm not going to make it through this. It's going to kill me. It's going to impair me. And I remember after that, things have changed. But that does, it does go away, you know what I mean? And it's like, it's easy for me to remember it because I went through it, but like that sunny optimism

that I had after it, where I was like, I don't give a fuck what happens right now. Like I'm okay, I'm alive, I didn't think I would be for a fucking brief minute there. That's what, like you said, like, I'm four days removed and it's so raw still. Yeah.'m thinking about it. I'm sure you know that will diminish as well Oh for sure for sure, but boy. It's it's a good feeling right now though And I'm but I'm still sorry to hear that you guys are not feeling well. That's all right now

What kind of what she have Android or iPhone iPhone? And there's nobody with a fucking iPhone quarter round. That's the thing Then you know when my me and my wife then like we can't stop talking about it just to ourselves Oh, you know like the and we're like distal makes sense distal makes sense and and you're just like Just let's stop. Let's just stop and just Breathe and and just Realize that are the nightmares over, you know and just realize that our the nightmares over you know and just yeah just let it go let go of that stress and anxiety and we have almost almost

obviously still there's still some there some residual oh yeah yeah but this like I said though I'm if you can't hear it in me, but yeah, like I could get spin on by some stranger, it's like right now and I'll be like, it's raining, it's raining sunshine. I think it'd be like, well, I also have eight, I also, I'm gonna say, I also have COVID, I was gonna say, I think, I think, wow, great. And I still would be like, oh, well, I don't know. What's a little bit of sniffles, so I can deal with COVID now. Yeah, I just pop yourself in a ventilator.

You'll be all right. It'll be fine. Wow. Yeah, it's funny. Something I told you, Walt, and I think I told you, Q, normally I get up, I make sage or breakfast for school, it would be for school, and then I get her on the bus.

So, I always wake up first. So like I wake up first, I wake up sage, and then Mary Beth sleeps in. But then one morning Mary Beth wakes me up because I slept a little bit later and she's like, sage is in in the house. And I was like, oh yeah. I do this. I think she walked to school.

She walked to school. Yeah. She got herself dressed, got her backpack, walked to school across two, like one major road, once, like, it's kind of major road. And we, I mean, I didn't know where the fuck she went. Like, and Mary Beth was like, well, she doesn't have her backpacks missing. So that's why we assume she went to school and we drove over by the school. And there she is.

Like, it's seven in the morning though. Like her school doesn't start until eight. So there's nobody there. We see her looking in the window and shit, kind of like, what the fuck? Like, where is everybody? We'll kind of like, like, the relief though. Is it, can you describe it? It's, it? It's just like everything leaves your body. Yeah, all that stress and that anxiety,

that has been building in a very short amount of time too. Yeah. How long was she gone for in your head? How long did you wear that she was gone? Probably 10 minutes, maybe. Oh, so 10 minutes of, yeah, 10 minutes of that. was gone. Probably 10 minutes maybe. Oh, so 10 minutes of yeah, okay, that's thank God, you know what? If you had to do it, it's 10 minutes, it's brutal. 10 minutes though, you know, thank God you didn't have to do it for seven hours. Yeah, and with every twist and turn going the

wrong way too, that was the thing about it until she called you were getting nothing but bad news Yeah, right. All her friends are telling me you know different things and Finally someone says, you know that she said she was going to a concert and then we go over and find the car and when we find the car We know that that friend was telling us the truth then What band do you remember? She only listens to bands that like two people have heard of. Still, you've always been aware. You've always been aware.

Fucking M. Oh, I'm just like, what about Beyonce where you can go to a concert where there's fucking 50,000 people. So like, it's not just a bunch of fucking guys sitting in the corner or like weirdos, like three of them and you you know it's just like it like why can't we just go see or go see like like mainstream bands and mainstream fucking venues rather than somebody in an attic. Oh Alice Cooper. How about Alice Cooper. He's so cute. Yeah I love him. I have like these illegal lofts and shit like these weird places where people go and see them. Well, you know what I mean?

At least she's definitely like, she strikes me as sort of like alternative. Oh yeah. She is not mainstream. Exactly. And she thinks that she is, she knows everything and she wants to be independent. And you know, she's not like her sister who is not like that. So I, oh, this one never did anything like this She went to see Beyonce

But she you know, she she never did anything like this to us. So we this is our first experience with like something like that and My wife handled it extremely well. She very, you know, obviously distraught but You've probably handled it extremely well. She's very, you know, obviously destroyed, but yeah, don't come to me in a moment of crisis. I thought I would be good in a crisis, but it depends on the crisis though. I found out.

It really depends on like when the house got, with Sandy. Yeah. I was like a rock. I was like, we'll get it done. No big deal. You know, it's, it's, it's, it's fucking sheet rock and glue and some nails. And we'll be back in no big deal.

And other people I know were very distraught. All right, fully so. I mean, you're at a house. But I thought like I was like a rock. I was like, nothing could get you know, make me shatter, but I was wrong That's your fucking daughter man You got a hold of together though to make sure I see these guys on TV you know and there oh like Liam Neeson and like

Immediately he's on the case before she's even kidnapped like a leg. Yeah, there's slice of people's throats for answers and I'm in a fetal position, crying and just like, like, I don't even know what to do. And it's just like, oh, yeah. Like I think in the third taken movie, he drove a car into an airplane to stop it from taking off. Oh, my God, you know, I've never seen those movies, but I swear to God, she was working at Michael's recently. She's still working there, but her second or third night at Michael's,

I was supposed to go pick her up at like 9.30, because the store closes at 9.00 and like they have to put back shit on the shelves and they release them workers at 9.. But the doors are locked. So I'm sitting out in the parking lot and ten o'clock rolls around and she's not answering the text and so I go to the door and I'm like there's nobody in the building but I know that I'm supposed to pick her up at nine thirty. So I text my wife and I'm like, what do I do here? Like, what do I do? I, I, she's, she hasn't commented Michaels. Like, what if she's in trouble in Michaels?

What if she's someone, what if something's bad going on in Michaels right now? And I said, what, like, I said, should I just get in the Prius and go right through the front door? I said, I was here and I know it sounds like I was fucking around, but I was like, it was like, it was like across my mind. And my wife was like, what? I go, no, I mean, I don't know how to get in, I was fucking around, but I was like it was like it crossed my mind and my wife was like what? I go, I don't know how to get in, I go I'm banging on the door. I said I go I could take the priest right through it. I don't know how much it'll cost us But what if I'm right? What if something's going on? I said it wouldn't be the first time in history that like somebody has gone into a store and Corraled people into like a break room or something and held them at gunpoint. It's happened. And so I know I swear on my mother's life if my wife was like, go ahead do it.

I would I don't know how fast I don't even know how fast I would have to go to break those doors down. But like I don't know how I don't want to enter myself too. So in case I got to jump out of the car and do something. So how fast should I go to break down the doors? I don't even like should I do it in five miles per hour and just bump into them? Bump into it just slowly goes through it. So what happened was I took my foot and I just started banging on the metal part of the door.

So loud. So loud that all of a sudden some bewildered woman comes running around the corner and sees me banging on the door and like and she stops and I make and I see eye contact with her so I'm like I forward her to be like come here come here and I'm like I'm like is I scream and she can't barely hear me because she's really far away and I see Alicia pop her head off from around the corner and I said I can hear her mouth that's my dad. She goes, what are you doing? And I'm like, what do you mean? What am I doing? You said, pick you up at 9.30. She goes, I know we had a lot of work to do. She goes, I'm not done yet. I was like, all right, I'll

go wait in the car. The only way this story is better. The only way this story is better is if you did drive the Prius through the fucking front of the store. And then they come out, she's like, what are you doing? I mean it's not taken out of plane from taking off but I contemplated it for a second and if my wife had sit like if she was as I don't know what the word is like week unstable unstable and I wasn't she was like. I was and she was like, you better do it. I was like, all right. And I would have tried to fucking put my praise through the front doors.

Oh, wow. The iceberg park presses like local celebrity loses. Shit. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You know that with the word harrowing. Yeah, that's what it sounds like. Yeah, it's, I knew that she was okay

because one, we're doing the pot. And I'm positive I would have heard about it if she wasn't, but even knowing that pure emotion in your voice was so scary. I was like, I had to like, like I really lost it. Like at 630 when I, when I knew I would have to call my mother and tell her this news. That's

like have to call my mom and say her granddaughter is missing. How low on the list of people to call and inform is get him. You know, he's not as low because I know that like if I was like, dude, I need you to go here or I need you to go to Jones Beach. He would do it. Yeah, that's what I was thinking actually. Yeah, but there was like, I didn't know what to do or to tell. There was like nobody like Troy.

I didn't even think about Troy until like early in the morning. And but like, what are the like, amazing now. I can't say enough. Yeah, that is good to hear, man. like amazing now. I can't say enough. Yeah, that is good to hear. Man, that's kind of it. Cause I know I woke him up and his like, his shock, you know, to hear me at seven o'clock in the morning on a Sunday. Right. He's like somebody's dead.

Johnson finally killed himself. Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't put it. You know what? I guarantee you that had to be like that middle millisecond thought in his head like Something bad must happen. I There's no fucking way he's calling me a seven in the morning for any other reason. Yeah Detroit's up Why the fuck did the guy tell you that the phone was in the water? I don't even know like This cop was the absolute worst.

He was like, he said, as he left our house too, he goes, yeah, we're definitely, we'll help define it. We're going to try to find her. No, no, no, we'll definitely find her. He goes, that's what he said. He also said at one point because she got her friend in trouble because her friend wasn't where she was supposed to be, that her mother, like my daughter's friend, they went to her mother's house.

And the mother said that she was babysitting somewhere. So I said, well, did you go to that house? I said to see if that to talk to the daughter, she may know where my daughter is. And like, yeah, we should go to that baby, to where they said the babysitter is, right? You said that to me. That's what he said to me, right?

He goes, right? And I go, yeah, I go, yeah, we'll have to go back here and find out where she's supposed to be babysitting. Oh my God. It's funny, because you know from the cops' perspective, they're like, she's fucking 18. Yes. She's out, the phone died, some stupid shit.

We've seen this fucking every weekend since I've been on this job. And they can't even muster professionalism anymore to let you to like because like if he said to you, look, Mr. Flanagan, I know you're getting crazy and upset, but like, I'm fucking telling you, she's at her friend's house, the phone died of some stupid shit like this. He said it. He said that. And of course, that didn't mean it.

Like, I'm going to go wrong. Yeah. It wouldn't help. He said that, and of course that didn't mean it. Like, I'm like, you're wrong. Yeah, it wasn't my Alicia. She wouldn't do this. She would never allow us to go through this for seven hours. Like, you're wrong, asshole. I want to like grab by his gun and be like, come on and put it to his head and be like,

shut the fuck up and do something. Debbie's like, do it. Drive your Prius through the police station. No, they came to us and they came to us and like and when you see them pull up to your house You don't know what to think You know because they put like we we contacted them Relate on a Saturday Sunday morning and then two hours later they pull up to the house to because they have paperwork They have us fill out

You know and I should and I don't want to say, just some of the things he said, I wish he didn't say, but I will say they definitely were on it. Absolutely, and I'm maybe making light now of the things that, like, I don't want to paint a picture that, like, they, but you're right, queue up. They didn't, like, they told me that, and they were right. And I'm sure 99.99% of the time they are right. Yeah, but does that point 1% times? Yeah, and you'll never be able to console a parent with like saying it's most likely this,

but he was right though. And I mean, every second that ticks by, it's like the Gabby, Fet ticks by it's like the the the the Gabby potato it's like the same thing for those parents they're like they're just hoping that they hear hoping that they hear. Oh yeah. Now it's seven hours. Now it's 10 hours. Now it's 24 hours. Oh you know. And time goes like in this instance it I've never felt time move quicker in my life. It felt like you know like the flash, moving through time.

Like, you look at the clock one instant, it's one. You look at the next time, it's one 30, but you feel like you just looked at it two seconds ago. So every time you look at the clock, it's another half hour, but it moved, like, I've never felt time move in my life. Jesus. It didn't like stayin' still, it wasn't dragging. It was like, it was super

sped up. It felt like. Yeah, I would have thought the opposite. Yeah, no, yeah, yeah, you would have think maybe, but yeah, it was exactly. He's just like, it was 7 a.m. before you even knew it. Yeah. Oh, I'm glad it worked out. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Yeah. That's why there is no more, yeah, there's no more mountains like anything. I'm glad it worked out. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Yeah. That's why there is no more, uh, yeah, there's no, no more mountains like anything. I'm dealing with now is fucking a cake walk. It's nothing fucking cake walk. I've walked in the park. Little fucking enterments cake over there. Look at it. Well, instead of, uh, going to concerts now that she's punished's punished, maybe she can use her Raycons.

You can't listen to this music. Damn straight. I mean, I was just talking to somebody today and they were using Raycons to talk on the phone.

If anyone's offering you a happiness guarantee, take it. Take it. Take it. My God, you're a fucking fool if you don't take it while you can. Yeah, it's interesting that you bring up perspective like how Shit just subtly changes like the stuff that you thought was so fucking important the stuff that you're like Nobody else deals with this Then you get something that really means something and yeah, you know patty-ness and

bullshit and Just Holding on the things. It's just it's not important. It is but you know it It isn't you know it isn't just you know when you find that perspective, you know, I don't know it It doesn't automatically change that things were never quite right before but It almost makes it impossible to go back to that mindset. You know, I mean you think you don't think in time On one way I hope the the anxiety of like you know

If she went like she was it when I saw that accident, I texted my wife, I was like, she home from work at, and she was like, not yet, and I was like, text her. You know, and then she, you know, came home, like, she was like, 10 minutes late from work, you know, that, I hope that goes away, because that's not a, that's not a healthy existence either. But the kind of like, you know, rare rabbit, up rare rabbit. What's the code when you're nothing sticks to you? Tough long rabbit? Tough rabbit, I don't know. But like, you know, I hope that can stay for a super long time

because it is nice to not give a fuck about some of the shit that would probably would have been like, send me into like a fucking like, not a rage, but like where I'd be like, what the fuck? Like traffic even, you know? Like I get some traffic now till fucking doomsday I wouldn't give a fuck. I don't care if I'm moving in.

You know. Good God. Geez. Well I'm glad she's all right. Thanks. That's that is very good to you guys. We got a big announcement. Oh yeah.

I think you should deliver it, man. Very big, me. Yeah, well, you found the place. Oh, okay. So I mean, I don't know, I guess it's kind of good news, bad news. A little bit of both. A little bit of both, yeah.

Right, I mean. Little Mellon Colley. On October 1st, the, the TSD town general store in Red Bank, well, actually, I guess the last day in September, because we won't, we will no longer be there in October, because we were shuttering. We're shuddering the general store in Red Bank solely because it's just too tiny a spot. You know, we've just, it's been so hard to get some of the videos that we want to get. And we just, we just out, kind of outrew it. And we needed to find a, a, a bit bigger place.

And we found a bigger place in Haslet, New Jersey 117 Route 36 at the airport Plaza Very accessible. Yeah, right very accessible to Anybody who who's coming to Jersey and wants to see the the general store? We aren't gonna be calling it the general store. We're gonna be calling the the TSD town studio the general store are going to be calling it the general store we're going to be calling the TST town studio. Nice. Nice.

But the general store will be inside the studio is kind of like a real secret stash as a is the secret store inside the office. I thought we could alert and that if they want to come see the store we're going to be open probably the same hours as the other store but maybe they can have a secret knock. We're gonna be open probably the same hours as the other store, but maybe they can have a secret knock Cool That's a pretty simple one right I mean Again shaving a haircut to bits. There you go shaving a haircut to bits. Well, no there's an end at the door. We're just a wise ass FedEx guy.

Yeah, we're hoping, I don't know if we open October 1st, though, but we're hoping pretty soon. I mean, do talk about like having that new perspective, dealing with bureaucracy, how do you say that, right? bureaucracy of fucking opening up a business in a new town. Oh my God, the amount of paperwork you gotta fill out, the amount of what you gotta jump through. Well, me and Walt were talking, it's like,

this is so simple. We don't have to get a business license if you're gonna do anything. We were wrong. Yeah, he stopped by the other day, he's like, you know, I go there, they're like, hey, it's open at 330, I go there, the lady's not there, you gotta come back

the next day, it's on that bullshit. And on so much forms, you know, I go there, they're like, hey, it's open at 3.30, I go there, the lady's not there, you got to come back the next day. It's all that bullshit. And so much forms you got to fill out and every time you go with your form that you think you filled out properly, no, it's not filled out properly. You missed this information, you missed this. And then I'm like, well, how do I know that information? And they look at you like, like, how could you not know? But I'm like, this is

information that you like, I am not used to having to know, but again, no, like, it didn't matter. I'll get it done. Yeah. They all get done in the general, the studios and with the general store inside of it will be kick ass and it'll be a new. Yeah, we're gonna make like a dedicated recording like area, right? Like, like sound room. All of the stuff, like a really sweet big room where the cameras can be pulled back. We have a lot of space now,

we're not only gonna be on top of each other. It's devoted just to recording audio and video and the general story being the, when you open the door, when you walk first walk in and it's gonna be nice nice it's gonna be dope. Gonna paint that wall green. Yeah. We need a permit for that, right?

We do get it in here. Yeah, so I said fuck it. I'm just gonna put the fell down. But how would they ever know? I think the wall green. What was that? How would they know if you came in? I was only teasing you.

Yeah, we could pick a painter. I got it. It wouldn't be surprising though because every township wants to, I mean, their hand is in your pocket for every little fucking thing. I don't know how, I don't know how people do it. Like this is my first experience with it, but like you are like everybody's got their hand out and every, at every desk at the Burrow municipality. Yeah. And they actually, they actually told me actually told me when I had the wrong information

when I just come back the next day, don't forget your checkbook. They laughed like that, happened. I mean, thank God I'm in a great mood because I would have just wondered why is that funny? You're lucky my daughter's okay. Yeah, wow. like, why is that funny? You're like, you're lucky my daughter's okay. Yeah. Wow, I mean, you know, the real kind of like when they,

when they, when the stash closed and moved to the new location, it was really kind of like, that was really kind of like the time that I felt we were separating from an era. Yeah. Yeah. It was a little bit of a separation. Yeah. Like here, I don't really have that. I'm like, I never really connected with the new store

because of COVID, we, you know, we didn't, I didn't record there as much. I didn't come down as much, but, but, but, yeah. It's a little bit shorter trip for you, not much, but maybe 15 minutes. No, it's gonna be 20 minutes. 20 minutes.

20 minutes, 20 minutes. It's so 40 minutes each way. Fuck yeah, dude, absolutely, that's huge. And plus that red bank traffic that builds up, Maybe you know, like you'll be 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes.

20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes.

20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 plazaing, the 20s. And I did know. I did know. I didn't know. We'll have to do some research on that.

There used to be where the big roller skating rink was when we were kids. Oh yeah. There's a photo of like an aerial of the place in the 20s and there was planes on there. Plains like you know a melee air heart, which you know. Yeah, not like jetliners, but yeah,

that's why he was called the airport plaza. It used to be an airport. I didn't know that. I never even, I was such such an asshole. I never even thought I wonder why they wouldn't why they call it airport plaza Well to be to be fair I don't want to sound like get him here. We're like I know everything. I saw the picture On hanging on a wall. So I know years ago. I saw the picture. That's how I know it's why it was called the airport plaza I would assume that there was a you got the bus there to go to Newark That's how I thought it was called the airport plaza. I would assume that there was a you got the bus there to go to Newark. That's how I thought it was called the airport plaza, but I was wrong. Yeah. There's a KFC right there. Walt's concerned he's going to eat too many potatoes. Oh yeah, I'm going

to have fucking love handles big time. But all the potato I love their potatoes. And I feel like I'm going to have potato thighs. But you're only there for, there for years, you know, it works out. But in that year though, like yeah, I could have like, I could look drastically different in a year though, but all the potatoes I'm gonna pack on pounds, I mean, up potatoes. No, you and get them keep walking, baby. Yeah, we're gonna have to, yeah, keep up the walking

to offset that potato. Um, that's potato supply. That's right outside my door. I could, I could, but we're up in the, we were moving some stuff in the other night and I could smell the potatoes from the fucking office. And I'm just like, motherfucker, I'm not gonna be able to not with, with,

resist not going to get potatoes. Yeah, I told Mary Beth that, you know, about the potato thing and she was like, I don't know. I mean, how much longer do you think that KFC will be there? I was like, you fuck the kid. That's been there since we were before we were born. Yeah, it was like, as long as I can remember, it's been there. For fucking over 50 years. Yeah.

I don't think it's going anywhere. I'm not a shoulder Colonel, some fucking respect. Right up. I'm not a shoulder Colonel, some fucking respect. Right up. Even with Popeyes and Chick-fil-A around, it's still does well. Oh, you know, I thought she's right though, man. The Colonel just got some massive fucking competition, though. With Chick-fil-A opening up M-Popeys within the last year.

Yeah, Popeys is like a mile away. No. You could throw it. You could hit is like a mile away. No, you could throw it, you could hit it with a fucking rock. Isn't it even close? It's like a quarter of a mile away. Really? Yeah. Damn. Chick-fil-A as well, it's on the other highway, but it's still only like a two-second ride from the complex. Yeah, that's not bad either. Yeah, but we're hoping, we're going to do some maybe a big Black Friday event. Cool. I think the general store got some merch,

some exclusive merch that we'll put out on Black Friday. We won't announce it yet just in case it doesn't get here in time, but it should be here in time. Oh, we should get a T-shirt made. You know how you go to sun studios and they sell you T-shirts of like the sun studio logo and shit like that. We should get... Absolutely.

...tell Steve Dave's studio shirts made out, man. I'd wear one of those. Awesome. You know, I was thinking the same thing, but I guess we need a different logo because our three heads is the general store sign. You know, the two heads. And that looks so similar to our other three heads shirt. Right.

So yeah, we need to like, maybe we'll put it out here. Maybe so a little contest for some artistic and to wanna design a Tellm Steve A. Studio shirt. Yeah, think like old Hollywood, like something cool, you know? It was a shirt that you want them to look at as inspiration. What's the shirt you said? Sunset? Oh, sun studios, like when you go there to in in in Memphis that you could take the

tour and they have a studio you know they have a teacher with the logo of the holy fuck we could give tours yeah we give tours get them could be a tour guide absolutely he can have a tip jar you know so that it can't be some of the end yes we will give tours people what a great idea like it i'm like it i'm uh... texted immediately. Fantasies is almost directly across the street. That's right. There is a TNA bar across the street. Yeah. So it's just need KF3 and titties. The Colonel and titties.

And bowling and bowling and there's a park in there. There's a pizza parlor there. Yes. So we're hoping that we realize though that you, not having it at the stash is going to really cut down on God for traffic. Yeah. Because it's not a storefront. It's an office inside like this strip plaza. Yeah. So it's like, yeah, it's not like you can see it from the street or anything. But we're going to have a sign. I'm in the process of getting the sign. And it's going to be a pretty large sign amongst the sweets. Because you don't get on the big billboard that's on the highway. Because you're going to be a storefront to get that.

But we will have a sign there hopefully soon. And if you guys are any ants in your own jersey and you have a car and you visit the stash, maybe you can make the trip North of the stash and hit us up in in Hazel at Airport Plaza. We'll give the exact address when we're open. Oh, it's awesome. Remember that. Remember that knock. Yeah, it's exciting, right? It's a definitely brand new chapter. Yeah, well, we're going to get a bigger TV for this place now, right? Finally, we're going to get a TV because we can't even take that little TV because it wasn't ours. Oh, we're definitely getting a TV a big one. Well, hey, if you don't care about 4K, I have an extra like 55 inch. Is it smart?

Can I have a fire stick? Yeah, for sure. Then yes, we will take, Frank 5 is donating a printer, you're donating a TV. My wife donated a microwave. Look at us, man. Look at us. It's like I'm starting business. Baby, it's like, I'm donating the the borough couch. That's right. The borough couch that you know, cost us so much like problems with borough. And we compared the Bezos to Hitler. They still gave us a couch. And and Brian is donating that couch. Oh awesome man. So I think

this is like it almost like we're newly married. It's all coming together man. Yeah like I can't wait to see it. I can only imagine Walt that with this thing with Alicia, that your meundies probably had a little stain in them. We might need some new ones. You know what? I will cop to being a basket case, but I will say, I don't know if there's anything that could make me shit my pants because I thought that would be it. And it wasn't even close, not even close. Like that was like that was never going

to happen. Yeah, that's not really a normal reaction to being nervous. I thought it was scared, right? Like, I've never known anybody that ever was like, I was so nervous. I thought it was scared right? Like I never know anybody that ever was like I was so scared I really shit like or is that just like some old wives tale that that happened? Well I think what do you think? Get them? You ever shit your pants? Oh yeah. Why? Because you were scared? Yeah. Of what? What were you scared of? I don't remember exactly the like little just little when you were a kid Yeah, it's a defense mechanism. Oh, okay, but you are a better though you your body

Eliminates all extra weight so you could run faster is what's behind it really? That's why people pissed their pants and shit themselves because your body's like dump everything and fucking move Oh, so it's not that you're scared, it's a natural reaction. Well, it is you're scared, but yeah. So cavemen, when they saw a Tyrannosaurus Rex or something were walk up on them, they would sh- Sure.

Should they're loinclothed? Yeah, that's why they didn't have me on these back then. Oh, so we probably, over the course of time, as we evolved from cavemen to homo sapiens We stopped doing that we didn't need to do it anymore because like we probably aren't that scared of anything on that kind of level anymore is dinosaurs and shit Yeah, you know fear for your life on a daily basis. Yeah, we kind of lost that that that Mechanism that that defense mechanism that, you know, probably better.

You imagine the war, you know, it seems to be like seeing a horror movie. With the word, guess, mess. A smell. So are you afraid of glow in the dark? Well, shield your eyes because the new me undies Halloween just dropped dead. There's one collection you don't want to ghost. Oh, if there's one collection you don't want to ghost it's this one.

Yeah. Raycon starting to turn into that kind of loyal sponsor. But yeah, meundies has been there for meundies as the shit man. Yeah, we have a lot to think without me undies, we probably wouldn't be able to make this move that we're contemplating right now that we're attempting. It's true. It should be me undy studio. Yeah, they have corporate names like for they have to pay a certain fee like at five stadiums. So I could we're going to assume that we're hiring get them to work it, I guess.

I would like to I wanted to bounce that off you. I mean, we're going to need an employee. Let's do let's do it on the air. I like this. We're going to need somebody there, you know, like's do let's do it on the air. I like this. Uh We're gonna need somebody there, you know, like at To do things he's handy. He's smart Does he ever resume? Like you look at you do you think we should interview different candidates? Yeah, just just a he can't hear us right? I mean maybe just to make him run a bit here you'll be okay yeah maybe to make him sweat a little bit

I don't know do you think he honestly wouldn't carry the way? Now we got a higher kid. I was the no brainer higher Got a higher he's already you know has ideas about you know like the handyman stuff that like, I'm not good at. I don't think that you're much of an handyman. I want to speak for you. Go ahead. I can speak for me. But, again, him has some good ideas and some, you know, some cost-saving things that he's, he's suggesting and I'm like, yeah, man, go for it. Do what you do. You're sure. Do your thing. suggesting and I'm like, yeah, man, go for it. Do what you do your shit. Great. Do your thing. And we won't be like, hopefully as soon as possible,

we'll be up and running and, you know, not sometime in October. And we can start letting people come in. But I think we could go there and record. Now I think that we're we're in there, allowing us to move our stuff in. Oh, fucking cool, man. Let's do it. Do we got a sound proof of room or we got to turn something into, are we going to try and make the acoustics a little better or no? Well, I guess we have to hear what it sounds like. I don't think it's going to be bad because it's like a conference room. So it should be pretty good. It's conference room, and yeah, the ceiling tiles are that like that drop ceiling stuff. Oh, like that sound.

So I can't. We'll bounce off that. And the walls are far enough away that I don't think we'll get a lot of like. Yeah, we got some room. It's spacey. Nice. And I thought we could put the like adhere

the poker table to the wall because we're gonna need a bigger tables. But I thought, yeah, that's cool. The poker table mounted on the wall. Nice little like, you know, we can look over at it for inspiration and all those years, you know, spent at the stash and everything. I love it, man. That's cool. Yeah, dedicated table. So we just Mike is

something's going on. Something going on with your mic. One, two, one, two. Okay, maybe just turn away. Yeah. Yeah. You're hearing it in this mic anyway. Yeah. Oh, okay. Like now that we have a dedicated table, we can set up the board and the mics, and we don't have to break it down every fucking time. That'd be nice, just leave it there. Yeah, I mean, it's pretty cool.

It's sad though, because I mean, it'll be the first time in 20 years, I won't be going to Red Bank every day. Like every day, it was like my commute was to Red Bank for 22 years. So that is, you know, I will, there'll be a tug at my heart and, you know, not going into the stash. Obviously, I'll, you know, going back into the stash, but not on a regular basis. That tug will probably wane when you realize it's like holy shit it was fucking 20 minutes to get to red bank fucking three minutes to get to this fuck red bank well I mean if I you know and I'm I hopefully I won't drown my

sorrows by you know by missing the station but in mashed potatoes yeah it's like I haven't considered that yet like Like I've been going to Red Bank since I was 19 on a regular basis. And like, you're right. It definitely will go again. The stash is still there. Absolutely. I'll be going there and then seeing everybody. But that day to day that I was doing for 22 years ends on September third. I don't know how many days are in September 30 or 30. 30. So on September 30th, I won't have to go to Red Bank for the first time in 22 years and that's weird.

I mean, it is. It's like almost half your life. Fuck, I didn't even think about that. Yeah, that's my life. Well, now the next half, hopefully, it's just all mashed potatoes and hazelid, hazelid, perkins and everything that has to be lost. Knowing where everybody in your family is when they say, yeah, hopefully it's all that.

Well, as you get older, too, you realize like, time's ticking. So do you want to spend all that time on a commute back and forth? Now the commute's much shorter. You know, the red bank commute does if that that's a commute. It's a little bit of a community for you. Yeah, but for me, I mean, I only got to do it once a week. You would do it every day. Yeah.

But oh, man, oh, so many awesome memories though For me alone, you know, not what not even counting. Tell them Steve Dave at the stash You know, it's it's it's it's sad, you know that it but it's you know, it was just time I mean, what are we gonna do there? Just wasn't enough space, you know I mean, you know they they you know and everything's running awesome there. Everything's under control I mean they it's just, you know. Right. And you know, they, they, you know, and everything's running awesome there. Everything's under control. I mean, they, it's just was, you know, the, the, it's the new stash chapter and it's the new TSD chapter deal with it. But all the temp Tom Steve Dave memories there. Oh my God. But we'll pay homage to it. We know the tip of the table go up. Don't be other things that you know that happen at the stage on display at the new store and Yeah, I could finally build that altar to the kissing skull the kissing devil skull that I wanted remember I want to do candles around it and stuff like that

Absolutely Very nice. There's nothing that yeah, we have so much room though Yeah, okay. Are there any windows in this office? No, it's rather wonderful It's much like the the previous general store as there's no windows. I got used to that though It's like a casino you know, you know, what time it is It's fucking funny we don't have any windows. I love it. It's comfortable in a way though. It's like it then it's an insulated world.

You know, you don't have to look out the window. You don't have to look out the window and see KFC all the time. We do have a communal bathroom though. Cute. I don't know. I know that you might be a little worried about germs. Like if you have to use the bowl, I would suggest using it before you leave. Just pop into fantasy. You dropped the news. You think that was cleaner?

There was one wall tonight looked at a different office that had its own bathroom like within the office. Yeah. And we were like, yeah, but that means somebody has to clean it. So fuck it. We decided to opt out of having our own bathroom because nobody wanted to clean it. Well, is that what our fucking employees for? I don't want to make that do that too, or to get them to make, and you know, my friend,

be like, go clean the bowl, I just shit it. I just blew it up. That's not what you're doing to a friend. But you had all those people send pictures of shit to me. Yeah, but it was virtual. There's something different when you're fucking right on top of it and you can smell it. When it's high or at all. Then it's too real.

I mean it is real and it's too real and it's fucking is real. Yeah, that's... But I actually went into the bathroom and we may have made a... That's our first misstep. I think we fucked up We fucked up because it is a fucking rack of air Like the Somebody left it like in a state of where it wouldn't have made the cut for the not so super bowl Wasn't that bad, but it was like like if somebody had more time it may

have though because it was pretty fucking like who leaves it who leaves a stall like this they're committing a crime practically that's when I said the myself hmm maybe should have fucking sprung the fifty the extra fifty bucks for the bathroom fifty bucks a month for our own bathroom the extra fifty bucks for the bathroom fifty bucks a month for our bad our own bathroom will be all right yeah shit man i'm gonna run over to kfc i'll be there often enough it'll be fine i can't actually run home quicker you know it yeah it's not that bad the i wanted to just want to mention this coming Thursday September 30th at 9 p.m. Eastern That's the podcast awards ceremony. So I don't know It will be nice to start off this new chapter. What is some fucking brass? Yeah, yeah, why not right? Gold

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay a night. Right. Ginem does not have to hang out at parking lots till fucking we hours in a morning. Now he can hang out there till however long he wants and it's going to be like his home away from home. And it sounds like it's not much of an upgrade, but it's an upgrade from a port of potty.

I mean, you say you're saying home away from home, like how long? What's the overrun under on it becoming his home? Well, he eventually, well, this is, oh my God. And this is a great, I know you, I don't know if you guys want to leave, but this is a great story. So we're moving stuff into the into the new place and we go over to KFC. I just started out to go over the KFC to get some potatoes and get them his air and I say to get I order what I want mashed potatoes of course and some guy is waiting for his order and he sees get him and he goes dude much props for the beard much respect for the beard and get them them proceeds to inform him on everything about why he's growing the beard the way he's grown.

I don't know if you guys even know why he's growing the beard. I thought it was a COVID thing and then it just let it keep going. It would stop germs or going in his mouth. No, no. It did help. It helped you. Did it. No, I got it. I got it anyway. No, no, no, I thought like the tent didn't help you, did it? No, no, I got it anyway. No, no, no, I thought like because you couldn't get a trimmed and shit.

Oh, no, no, no. It is, he calls it, I understand that it's a grief beard. He's grown it because he doesn't want to shave it until he's back in the house in his old place. So, that's why he hasn't shaved all this time. And so, he told this man that he had a house fire and all the tragedy that came with that and why he's chosen to let his beard grow like this because he's at home. So, then we sit down and get him doesn't order anything. So I'm the only one

eating. He had lunch earlier. So we're eating at the table and the guy who asked about his beard is eating at another table and he throws his food away, he's done and he comes over to us and he opens with this which I don't know how he's going to up and he goes hey I don't mean to to put you on the spot does that what he said you know he said I don't mean to put you on the spot or make you feel uncomfortable but I want to give you guys $20 for groceries and I was I saw I so he thought that we both were homeless Oh my god I mean how were you dressed like this? Well, were you wearing well my wife says it's that fucking thing on your chin You look like your home was she said

Because you let your he let your hair go on your chin, my chin. So I'm like, really? I mean, but like, I mean, compared to his, how could anybody even notice what's on my chin? So I tell the guy, I was like, oh man, and get him's like kind of like, you know, he's touched and everything. I'll take that 20. So I tell the man, I'm like, oh man, that is unbelievable. That is amazing. You're so kind, I said, but he doesn't need $20. We don't need $20.

It, it, amazing gesture though. Like, I cannot believe how kind you are. He goes, no, really, he goes, no, no, no, take it, take it. And like, no, it's okay. We don't need $20. And he goes, you sure, you sure, and we leave, and he leaves. And so we get in the car and I'm like, so, what do you think after that?

I said to get him, I go, what's your takeaway from that? And kid him goes, that he's a nice man? I go, yes, he's a nice man, I said, but, you need to trim your beard, dude, you look homeless. That you own, and like, not people are thinking shit about me. And like, you know, you need to just like, it's time. And he said he was gonna trim it,

but he still hasn't trimmed it. So we're hoping that like, you know, that he will take notice of that. I mean, trim it up. He trims up nice. He's losing weight now. Now he's gonna, that would lose a little bit of that beard. Now, if you look in like the old get him soon,

you just gotta take those steps. Like we had to take steps. Yeah. You know, that's, everybody has to take steps. Gotta take some steps. Maybe one that times, but there's still steps. You should have taken that 20. It would have made up for the tip that you accidentally put in the pizza place. But there was something else though. I know you wanted me to say Tom Steve Dave. That was a good one. I know you're. But there was something else I was going to be for, I say before I even found out about that before I even remembered about the homeless, the two homeless guys at KFC that were us. I can't remember, I guess tell them Steve there.
