Starting point is 00:00:00 What's your favorite movie? Tatanic. Harry Potter? No, that makes more sense. My favorite movie is Taken. And I told everyone in my high school class, we were doing an icebreaker, and we went around with Circle, and I said, my favorite movie's Taken,
Starting point is 00:00:11 and some guy in the back of the class goes, I'll take you. And I'll never forget that. We are busy now. I hope you grow out of that fucking creep. On this episode of the commercial break Hey, you only come over and sleep on your bed Five to twelve weeks This is all a big mess under steam
Starting point is 00:00:33 Don't worry about your wife, I'm really quiet It's just a big mess under standing I'm renting the floor under their bed It's my room, I got it on Airbnb Right That I believe. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. The party in the morning!
Starting point is 00:00:54 Oh yeah, Keshakins, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is the director of Hangover High Gration. Chris and Joy, only best of you, Chris. Best of you, Brian. Best of you out there in the podcast universe! Alright, we're back, hey! How are you? Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Starting point is 00:01:10 Okay, I'm gonna tell you a story. And I think this is a story that will resonate with you and I. It's hot off the presses, I'd like to read it to you if you don't mind. Of course. This comes from, I don't know where this comes from. Oh, where does it, AP I think is where this comes from. Ready? Warring reports from September claim that a British Airways crew
Starting point is 00:01:27 had to cancel a flight after the airlines employees were targeted by a traumatized arm robbery in Brazil. Now, local authorities are saying that the alleged victims simply invented the story as a way of covering up a wild night of drinking and drugs. PLEASE IN Brazil, plan to summon BA representatives to establish whether the three crew members cooked up the lie themselves or were instructed to create their fabrication by airline management. Holy shit, this goes all the way to the top!
Starting point is 00:01:56 One guy does a little bit of blow and Richard Branson has to make up a story. Alright, listen, it's not a problem, just do this. Tell him you got kicked in the nuts repeatedly by a small boy in a barrier in Brazil. It will cancel all flights everywhere for five days to make it a big deal. It's a Donald Trump way of doing things. So,
Starting point is 00:02:19 British Airways, that was a crazy night. It's nuts. British Airways also claimed the three flight attendants in question, which G1 reported as being aged 40, 39 and 31 were not scheduled to fly in the canceled flight. The airline did not explain why the flight was postponed until the following day. The investigation shows that they did not tell the truth, says Daniel Boulis, an assistant
Starting point is 00:02:40 police chief. They didn't say what actually happened that morning. They created these stories to try and justify probably inappropriate behavior outside of company rules. I think my entire personnel file and all the companies I've worked for, probably say those following words. Probably inappropriate behavior outside of company.
Starting point is 00:03:00 That's definitely on your permanent record. But according to the three crew members, they were out on a historic Pedro Dosell site in Rio the night of September 5th, as the evening drew to a close, two of them got into a taxi without the third who returned to their hotel. But they were instead taken to a disused gas station in the north of Vazilobo neighborhood. There they claimed they were robbed by armed men who had followed them from where they'd been earlier in the evening with the thief swiping two cell phones and other items the crew members said one of them was able to use another cell phone
Starting point is 00:03:32 which hadn't been taken in the robbery to call a taxi but on route to the hotel they were robbed a second time i think i'm on well you're going to go for it might as well for fucking be serious i know i know I mean, come on. Well, if you're going to go for it, you might as well. Just keep it. Poor fucking resilience. I know. I know. Oh, no, we'll talk about this in a second. Afterwards, they spotted a military police officer and sought help.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Meanwhile, the third crew member says he met a woman at Pedro de la Salle after chatting for a few minutes. He claims to have blacked out remembering nothing and waking up, waking up lying on the street. According to the Sun newspaper, police initially suspected that the two of the B.A. crew had been targeted by a gang. With the source telling the tabloid, it was scary and they were grateful to escape, but their lives. The pair were understandably too upset so far. That's another thing.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Hey, the great deal, boss. Yes, Brian. I'm understandably too upset to work today. For the fourth day in a row. I'm just understandably too upset to work. I did some things that are probably inappropriate. What the company rules? Yeah, yeah. 15th day you've called out, Brian. I know, trust me, I'll make it up to you. It's only the 15th day of the month. I'll do some extra work over the weekend. I promise. Listen, I gotta go. Deja's got here. Hey, what a big!
Starting point is 00:04:52 Ben there. Done that. After passing out, the airline employee was revived by construction workers who called for help. The B.A. crew, a media member also allegedly showed them a white powder, suspected by the police to be cocaine. It's a media member also allegedly showed them a white powder suspected by the police to be cocaine. It's a weighted for an ambulance to show up. He was taken to the emergency room for care where he allegedly said he'd spent the night out taking drugs with a pair of women in an unfamiliar neighborhood. What the fuck are you thinking?
Starting point is 00:05:16 I know. Okay. Yes. This is insane. It goes on, but this is in. Do you remember when Ryan Lockty, remember Ryan Lockty, the swimmer who was swimming with Phelps and they were kind of had this head to head competition. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Ryan was just like this big fucking lug nut who could, you just didn't want him to open his mouth. Because every time his mouth opened, literally screws fell out of it. He just said whatever came to his mind and I promise you, he's not like a super sharp mind of human being. He's a wonderful swimmer. He's dumb as a box of rocks. And do you remember when he went out one night in, uh, I think it was the real Olympics, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:05:52 Or something like that? That was yeah. And then he claimed to have been robbed by somebody, but what it actually was is they were out hammered and got into an altercation at the gas station. And this is like the poor Brazilians. I understand big cities aren't safe sometimes. That's the reality. But to blame your fucking cocaine shenanigans
Starting point is 00:06:13 on the locals in Brazil, because you don't want to show up to work the next morning, is kind of a fucked up way to go about things. First of all, it's horribly racist. I can't fall. This is just not how you handle this. If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the shed. That's how the saying goes.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Can't handle the heat, get out of the shed. I thought I was the kitchen. Don't even worry about it, Chrissy. I'm okay. Trying to give you a Ryan Lockty saying that. That's a Ryan Lockty with that. If you can't handle your shit, don't get started. That's it.
Starting point is 00:06:43 And if you know you have to go to work. Well, that's the thing. Yeah, I mean, it's one thing to party and have a good time. You've got the day next few days off. Yeah. But the... Partying on a Friday night, perfectly acceptable. Party on a Saturday night, you're calling it,
Starting point is 00:06:58 you're kind of close. But I get it, you know, you're probably going to be up until Sunday, then sleep from like three in the afternoon Sunday until eight in the morning on Monday. But you have enough time to shake it off, right? As long as you stop before noon on Sunday, you're good. But if you go partying on a Sunday, you're just a fucking moron. Yeah, I mean, no, what's going to happen? Yes, like a few beers to kind of soothe this Saturday hangover.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I get that. A full blown. I'm going gonna go do Coke with two girls in a barrio that I've never met. That kind of night needs to be reserved for like two weeks of vacation, you know what I'm saying? And you need to have backup because somebody who knows where you are.
Starting point is 00:07:35 You're being revived by construction workers. You first of all, you got a great story to tell. Let's second of all, you deserve to be fired. That's it, you don't do that. Yeah, these people are in their 30s and 40 be fired. That's it. You don't do that. Yeah, I have to wait. These people are in their 30s and 40s. They know fucking better. You do know better.
Starting point is 00:07:49 When Chrissy and I first met each other, we didn't know better. But we quickly figured it out. When we would wake up in the morning in some version of disarray, and we'd be like, oh fuck, I got projection meetings. Ah! Ah!
Starting point is 00:08:04 And Chrissy's like, well, I'm gonna go pretend I have a meeting. I'll see you at noon. It's exciting. Fuck you. Meet for lunch. Yeah. Meet for lunch will have a couple called beers. Rinse and repeat.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Rinse and repeat. Where's that Margarita machine? I know, where's that Margarita machine we can need. That was long gone by the time we got there. I can't believe they they had they had a Margarita machine at this radio sales office And apparently it was just like a free-for-off apparently multiple multiple people in the building were co-captivist It was just easy access
Starting point is 00:08:36 They were making extra commission on the book. Yeah, I mean listen these are stories that were told to us We didn't actually see this any of this happened. It was long after our time. I mean, I saw the Margarita machine for sure. Oh, you saw the Margarita machine? Oh, yeah, I was there. Oh, you were? We'll come around on a Friday. It would? Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:50 I don't remember that. Yeah. Maybe I wasn't there. Because I hadn't yet learned my lesson. Yeah, no, and I remember another day when we had like cleaning day. Yeah. Or we cleaned the, I love that they had the worker. They had us cleaning
Starting point is 00:09:07 cleaning out the whole place. I do remember when there was cars getting guys. Yes. I've ever been like pretty drunk when I got done cleaning. I remember when Tiger Woods went into the Monday playoff at the US Open when he had that broken leg and they turned it on the big screen in the room. All right. We had that big one. Then everybody was still hung over from watching Tiger Woods well into the night the night before. We were all hung over drinking, sitting in a room, usually reserved for cold phone calling, watching Tiger Woods on a big screen. That day just got completely derailed. I don't think
Starting point is 00:09:41 anybody showed back up till Thursday. We got so Tiger one we had to run out to go do cocaine with two unfamiliar women It's a strange neighbor the dad's on Atlanta Construction workers reviving Give me a tip waking up with some lips on That is a bad You have to have backup for that a plus to the construction workers Yeah, yeah, it took time out of their busy morning to revive some drunk British guy the bad. You have to have backup for that. A plus to the construction workers. Yeah. It took time out of their busy morning to revive some drunk British guy on the street
Starting point is 00:10:11 of the Vario. That is, you get, that's just amateur hour right there. You can't do that. You got to learn how to either work through the pain or don't bring the pain. Just don't do it. Now get yourself together, get your shit together before you go on the night. I always had this, when I was in my heyday, but I was maturing a little bit, so like, three years ago. So what? Right.
Starting point is 00:10:36 When my fully developed boybrain had come about, but I do remember at some point, probably when I was working with you, at some point, I made the rational decision that I really have to judge at the beginning of the night when I'm clear-headed and relatively sober. What kind of night it's going to be? That's true. And I have to draw, I have to learn to draw the line. I have to use a little bit of willpower and draw the line. Tuesday night, no drugs involved, and probably stop at six
Starting point is 00:11:05 bud lights rather than 40, right? So six bud lights, go home, take an app, wake up, go to work in the morning, but no shenanigans after that. However, if it was a Thursday, oh well, Thursdays are the new Fridays. Thursdays are the new Fridays. And now everybody works from home to, I know. How does anybody say so? I know. I wonder everybody's fucked up. Seriously. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Well, I'm home. Yeah, hey, how you doing? So in this video about this guy, he's like a DMT head. He likes to like smoke, like DMT. Not the stuff you find like in Iowa, but the chemically engineered DMT. I've heard of that.
Starting point is 00:11:46 So he likes to smoke it. And he they took him through a day. I went for a day with this guy, this documentary crew did. He has a serious day job. Like he didn't say what it was, but he goes to the office, 7.30 in the morning,
Starting point is 00:11:58 comes home at 6.30 a night, blah, blah, blah. And he was, it was like Tuesday night, and he's like doing DMT until 4.35, 30 in the morning. He's like, I feel so refreshed. And then he in the morning. He's like, I feel so refreshed. And then he goes to work. He's like, I feel so refreshed and positive. And I'm like, holy shit. I did that one time, and for like six months,
Starting point is 00:12:14 I couldn't decide if the birds were talking to me or the other birds. You know what I'm saying? Like that hard time. Discipleing what was real and what was not real. This guy's doing it until 4.30 in the morning, and then I don't know, you know, doing brain surgery or some shit like that. It's so messed up.
Starting point is 00:12:30 You gotta be able to handle your shit. Kids, this is a lesson. This is a lesson by kids. I mean anybody under 40. Kids, this is a lesson. You have to learn to draw the line somewhere. You can't just run rip shot every night of the week. Doesn't work like that.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Trust Chrissy and I. we did it for 10 years. And nothing good came of it. Not until we got here at the commercial break. Thanks God, seriously. Yes, then we can start recording it three in the afternoon. When we learned how to handle our shit. It's just one of those things. How many times did you go to work hungover?
Starting point is 00:13:08 Oh, lots. How many times have you come to work hungover? Lots. Well, I mean, being in the media industry, because I worked for cable before that. Oh, yeah, that's right. For Comcast and then I'm Chrissy Hodeley. What was the one?
Starting point is 00:13:23 For Anzley Retirement Community. Yes, we did review my own tape. We have a gym. It's like one treadmill. There was something about the Main Street too. I like put up the sign. Oh, you put up the sign is like Main Street Retirement Living? I love to review that.
Starting point is 00:13:40 You're like, here in Main Street, we have pudding. But yeah, working in media, it's a lot of parties. It is. And it's part of the job. It is. It's like dinners, client dinners, then when you got into radio, then God, it's, you're going out to clubs and concerts and race games. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:01 I mean, it's all the name of entertainment. It's just part of it. I mean, you're in her 20s. Thirties, you're just gonna drink and have fun. You feel like you have an obligation to almost, right? And you don't wanna miss out on all the fun. Right. You have so much fomo.
Starting point is 00:14:15 You gotta get out there and do everything everybody else is doing. Anytime we went to those braves game, it was almost assured. If there were 20 people, and it's usually more like 50, but if there were 20 people that were up there employed with us drinking You knew that the next day at least five of those people weren't showing up till at least noon if they even showed up at all Chrissy and I were chants we were doing every single every single game and then we'd go to work the next morning
Starting point is 00:14:36 It started at the top doubt though the man and yours would come in and be like shot shot shot shot Yeah, it was really Shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots I think about being an account representative or a sales person, is that you go out and do this three times a week because you have to woo the clients. But the clients only have to do it once every six months. You know what I'm saying? They can. Yeah, once a quarter. So when they get in front of you, they are looking to let the fuck loose.
Starting point is 00:15:17 And they know it's on the company tab. Of course, they know it's on your tab. They want to see how wild you're going to get. They're going to take your lead. And listen, there were lots of nights where I just took them right down the rabbit hole. I mean, it was like, I mean, too, I remember we ended up in a strip club one time. I'm like, in the day. One time.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Well, I know. And I was every time. I know. It was awesome. And exhausting. I know. Oh, my God. It was on a first name basis with some of those folks at the strike club.
Starting point is 00:15:48 And the managers were on a first name base. They were like texting back and forth during the day. Coming down to the club. Cool, I'll save a warm koochi for you. You know, I was like, okay, all right, we get it. But it was always debauchery because the client got a hall pass from their wives, because they're here and down to meet with the big media executives.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Right. And so you would just take them down the rabbit hole because that's what they expected you to do. It was almost like, that was a little bit of peer pressure almost. You had to woo them. And if you went to dinner and had like I do now, you went to dinner, ordered one gin and tonic, took half a sip out of it and then nursed it for the rest of the night, that just wouldn't be cool. They would be like, oh, look, I was kind of boring.
Starting point is 00:16:26 You know, I'll buy from him. I want to buy from Chris. She took me to the cheetah twice in one day. We went at one. We took a nap and came back at seven. We came back for a late shift. And it would be true. And I had this conversation with one of the guys executives in the podcast industry. If you're a salesperson, and you show up at one of these conferences,
Starting point is 00:16:49 and you're not at least at the bar hanging out and having a drink, you don't have a drink drink, you can have soda water, right? Doesn't know what's saying you have to drink alcohol, but if you're not down there, socialize, socialize, networking, following the path, hopping in a new burn, going to the club, hopping in a new burn going to the club hopping in a new And having a drinks at the next bar. What if you're not doing that you're missing a real opportunity
Starting point is 00:17:11 To connect with the client in a way that's intangible But could make all the difference in the world next year when it comes time to sign that contract to your wallet Absolutely If to your wallet and the company's paying for it. So what the fuck ever? Other conferences, whoa. Oh man. I mean, people get wide-old. Dude, you don't even know. I'm gonna do that one conference
Starting point is 00:17:32 like Paris Hilton's spinning records in the corner. Yeah, that's right. And just people are literally throwing up on the shoes. There was one guy. Every, this guy is like, everybody is not a big fan of him. He's always talking about how wonderful he is. Every post, every podcast, every, I don't even get to do it.
Starting point is 00:17:49 But this guy, I walk into the club, two of my friends, holla and Jordan, they have this VIP section. So I go, they invite me, I come into the VIP section, there's like four or five of us sitting there. There's that one old guy in the company, I say older guy in the company, who is like, can hang like nobody's business. Yeah, there always is.
Starting point is 00:18:09 There always is. He's that one guy. He's the coolest fucking cat in the company, but it is like 12.30 at night. And he's sitting there on the couch like this, and there's like a couple of girls that are dancing, shaking their booties and dancing. And he looks like the most interesting man in the world.
Starting point is 00:18:23 He's got both arms up like this. He's got a whiskey need in one hand and a corona in the other and he's like sipping on the whiskey and drinking the corona. And I'm like, what's up, man? You're here and he's like, oh bro, I'm always here. I'm like, how did you get so fucking cool? Who made you so fucking cool?
Starting point is 00:18:40 And then here comes this plotting, plonking Yahoo, everybody dislikes. There's a rope in the VIP. Who knows why? We're standing back. I was gonna say I'm picturing the VIP right now. And it's just a rope. It's just a rope.
Starting point is 00:18:54 That's all it is. But there's a DJ booth in front of us. The guy who's spinning the records, not parasol. The guy who's spinning the records is right in front of like the actual VIP booth is behind the DJ. Okay. So it's the DJ's. Okay. So it's clear there's these ropes like it's clear you don't do this buffoon comes up. He's got like four and three.
Starting point is 00:19:12 He's four drinking it right. He's got four drinks in his hands. Yes. And he comes there's a little step you know like a little step up. Yeah. He trips over the step. He goes down over the rope. I'm standing right there and I get it all
Starting point is 00:19:25 Over me all four drinks just come right on me and I'm like Jesus fucking Christ Really not a drop. Yeah, not a drop touch the cool guy there No actually it's sent the two young women into his lap it sent the two young women into his lap. Right. There was like, Ah! Ah! Ah!
Starting point is 00:19:47 Ah! Ah! I got you, girls. I got you. Don't worry about that. Come sit on Papa's lap. Ah! Ah!
Starting point is 00:19:55 But then he's like not making a move. He's just got his arm to it. Because he's too cool. He knows. He's like the guy who's just in tune with everything, right? It's not, it's gauche to put your arms around the ladies anymore. He just hangs out, they jump on the couch, I'm wet, soaking wet. It looks like I piss myself, right?
Starting point is 00:20:14 Parris Hilton's about to spin in the next room, and I'm like, oh, well, there goes my chance of Parris Hilton. But then here's what he said, I'm a well-informed celebrating. And I'm like, okay, what are we celebrating? Because it's all over me now. What are we celebrating? I had my first $250,000 day. And I'm like, on what, on my podcast.
Starting point is 00:20:36 And I'm like, you didn't have a $250,000 day. That is horse shit. So you bought four drinks, hoping that you were going to buy your way into the VIP section. Which by the way, it's not mine. I just got invited. I didn't get here. You spilled them all over me. And now you're full of fuck. It's all because you had a $250,000 per 10 day in your head. This is an example of a guy who can't handle the shit. The guy on the couch, that's the guy you want in your corner every time. He's wearing leather loafers. He's wearing leather like, like,
Starting point is 00:21:05 Luckezi boots, right? And he's just got like a, you know, a Gweberon, you know, slacks. He's just too cool for white beer, white hair. That guy gets contracts left and right. And the reason he does is because he knows
Starting point is 00:21:21 how to play the game, you know. He's not inappropriate. He's not, you know, being an asshole to anybody, he just takes the ride and he's there for the entire night. He will be the last one standing and that's what will be remembered by the client. It was cool, man, he took us all around, he made sure we got to the hotel, okay,
Starting point is 00:21:39 you know, cleaned up my puke when I threw up on his lap. You know, that kind of guy. He's too cool for school. The lug nut that spilled the drinks everywhere. That's the guy who should be at home. That's the guy who should be at home. He should have never been there in the first place. And Paris Hilton also was there. And the last year was there.
Starting point is 00:21:57 I really do. And she does DJ gigs, I guess. She does. It was legendary. It was legendary. Wow. Put on by the company. Uh huh. It would be previously worked for it. Just letting was legend. Wow. Put on by the company. Uh-huh.

I hope my wife never finds that particular gift. How about this one? An actual game, a board game called Gonjolam. That's going to be fun for all the kids. I really like this

I'm in the sea. All right. I have been dying to talk to you about this since you mentioned this a couple of days ago, because this is fucking insane. It's fucking insane. And for those of you out there who you're about
Starting point is 00:26:19 to hear this and it's probably going to keep you up at night, there is a phenomenon that is actually been going on for millennia a phenomenon that has actually been going on for millennia, right? This has been going on forever. The story's about this all over the internet and they go way back to like the Western day, like oh, Wild West days, right? I saw some stuff on there.
Starting point is 00:26:35 This little bit of... Yeah, this woman wrote a book, put like a short story, but it was a true story. A document, she documented what we're referring to now as frogging, pH, frogging. So Chrissy shares with me, you have you ever heard of froggy? And I'm like, no, what the fuck are you talking about? Frogging, is that like, that's a new sexual position?
Starting point is 00:26:54 Because I think I've been frogging for a while. If that's lay down and pretend you have a headache, I've been doing frogging for a while. But frogging is, let's go to the, what do you call it? What's that? The urban dictionary. Let's go to the urban dictionary. Let's get the actual definition by actual definition. I mean the people at urban dictionary made it up. The origin of the term frogging with a pH is uncertain. Some explanations trace the term to the word frog, which is claimed to be a reference to the fact that the person who engages in frogging may jump from place to place, such as, avoid being caught.
Starting point is 00:27:32 The term frogging with a pH has been used in this way since at least 2014 when it was used as the title of an independent short film. Use of the term increased on social media after the release release of the 2019 horror film I see you which involves an intruder engaging in frogging and wearing a frog mask. Awareness of the term further increased in 2022 due to the premiere of the True Crime series frogging, there's a hider in my house which depicts real life reports of the practice. The practice. That's so scary. I mean, this came across on my, you know, like suggested, like, you might like this. And I was like, what is froggy? But let me give them the punch.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Oh my God. Yeah. Frogging is a term that is used when someone is living in your home unbeknownst to you, like in your attic under your bed and your closet in your closet on in the basement under the crawl space. Yeah is insane and Chrissy, are you ready for the biggest insanity about all of this? I have done it. I have been a frog. Why did you frog? Okay, when I was 17, I left my house, I shared this.
Starting point is 00:28:41 I left and my dad wanted the bed back, that was his big ordeal. He was like, I left, he was out of I left and my dad wanted the bed back. That was his big ordeal. He was like, I left, he was on out of town and my mom was hospitalized. I left and my dad got upset because I took the bed. He's like, that's my bed, not yours. And I was like, oh, what about the effect that I actually moved out of your house?
Starting point is 00:28:57 I don't care about that part. I need the bed. Get back here, what's the bed? So he kicked me out for good reason. He had invited me back to the home. Okay, so then I move out, I come back to the home after I get involved with this dancer and this dancer stripper and this dancer
Starting point is 00:29:14 just took me for a ride. I was living at our house under a porch. Yeah, I was living all over the place. She was hiding me in places. Even though her mom said I could stay there, I was somehow I had to sleep under the porch. I don't know. And the reason why I had to sleep under the porch. I don't know. And the reason why I had to sleep under the porch
Starting point is 00:29:26 that I found out later was because she was fucking landscape her friend. She had a boyfriend. I was her boyfriend, but she was fucking the landscape her who was also her boyfriend. And when I was hiding, she was actually out with the guy, I caught them one night. It was crazy.
Starting point is 00:29:41 So I begged my dad, like I cried there. I'm like at a Wendy's with, you know, having the showered in six days. I got my bell bottom pants on with my Doc Martin boots. I smell like patchouly. I got the fucking disgusting necklace decaying on my neck. And I'm like, Dad, please, I just need some stability. And he's like, one chance, don't fuck up.
Starting point is 00:30:02 It's my house, my rules. You have to work and you have to be in the house by midnight. Don't fuck with me, right? He's got one chance. Fair enough. And he's like, and you're not here forever. You're here until you turn 18 years old,
Starting point is 00:30:15 and then I want you out and keep my, and don't take my bed. Yeah, leave the bed. And I was like, oh, by the way, I left the bed at the other stripper house where we got a victim. So I was talking, oh, by the way, I left the bed at the other stripper house where we got evicted. So I was talking about that. So then it just all goes to hell in a hand basket because I get re-involved with some dancer or something like that.
Starting point is 00:30:33 And there's all kind of shenanigans going on. I'm being a real asshole. I'm here, there, everywhere, sneaking around, staying out till three in the morning, doing drinking, drugging, whatever the hell I'm doing. So my dad kicks me out. That lasted about two fucking weeks before my dad woke me up one morning and he was like, you gotta go. Cause I had come in at like three in the morning,
Starting point is 00:30:50 woken up the whole house, whatever. He's like, you gotta go, I'm sorry, there's other children in the house, you have to go. And rightfully so, I probably would have done the same thing. So I now forgive my dad. It only took 30 years. Tough love, which is probably what I needed at the time. So, but I didn't have anywhere else to go.
Starting point is 00:31:10 So I slept at a motel for a couple of nights. I remember also just being an idiot while I was at this motel, I'd be like up till 5, 6, 7 in the morning and then they'd call to kick me out of the room. Like it's 11 in the morning, it's check out time. They kept calling and calling and I'd be like, I have 15 more minutes, 15 more minutes. And this lady at the front desk was like,
Starting point is 00:31:28 it was a motel six, Chrissy, on the side of the highway. And the lady was like, fine, but 15 minutes, and then you gotta get out. And I'm like, okay, I'm just gonna ride back to sleep. I'd be like, for two more minutes of sleep. So eventually I ran out of money. Right. And I had nowhere to go.
Starting point is 00:31:41 I managed to get a friend to drop me off at my dad's house. And my little brother was at my dad's house at the time. He was like homesick from school or something. So I was throwing rocks at the window, trying to get someone, trying to get him to pay attention. So finally he opens up the window and I'm like, Danny, I ain't got anywhere to go. And he took mercy on me.
Starting point is 00:31:58 He's like, I'm opening the basement door. Whatever you do is on you. And I'm like, okay, thanks then, appreciate it. So I actually snuck in the basement of the house, which had been such a dent of iniquities when my twin brother and I lived there, like all the smoking of the pot and the whole thing. It was like, it was just a nightmare for my dad.
Starting point is 00:32:18 So he put a deadbolt on the door, he locked it, and I knew that no one had been down there in months because it was deadbolt locked. So he had this bar that he had built down there. Like, it didn't have any alcohol in it, but it was a big bar. It was made by like a construction worker. It was like a shoddy workmanship. And you could put your body in the bar.
Starting point is 00:32:34 You could open the door and put your body in the bar. It was that big. You could like sleep under the bar. Oh, wow. And that's what I did. I grabbed a blanket. I slept under the bar. I peed outside.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Like, it was a whole thing. Oh, like, yeah. And I was there for like, I don't know, three or four days. Until Danny was like, you gotta get out, man, I look like dad knows what's up. And I'm like, okay, I'm outta here. I don't remember what happened after that, but I was frogging in my own home. We were.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Yes, it was, and it felt so strange. Of course. And I was just a messed up little kid, and you know, I was trying to figure the world out and all this other stuff. It certainly not my shi-, my crowning achievement of life. My crowning achievement of life is the commercial break with Chrissy. I don't share which one is worse.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Frogging or the commercial break. But I did this and it was a very strange sensation and I wouldn't wish it upon anybody. Like it wasn't a good feeling. It was like this is crazy. I'm going to get caught in any moment. I don't have any food. I got to go this is crazy. I'm gonna get caught at any moment. I don't have any food. I gotta go outside to pee. I gotta open the door carefully so no one knows.
Starting point is 00:33:29 And my dad would turn the alarm on so I couldn't go anywhere until the alarm was off. It was crazy. But that's not the kind of froggy that we're talking about here. These are complete strangers in your home. Sleeping, eating, defecating. Yeah, stuff was going missing.
Starting point is 00:33:45 I haven't watched them all because it hurt me out too much. Yes. But the couple that I did watch were just like crazy. I mean, yeah, people would be accusing other people in the house of where do I blanket? Yeah. Who ate that food? And who, you know, you think you're going crazy?
Starting point is 00:34:01 You must. And then you find out that it's like a 21 year old dude that's living in your house. Yeah. And some people do it out in necessity. They're de-homed, right? They're homeless. And some people do it because they enjoy the thrill of it.
Starting point is 00:34:18 It's like a thing, it's a fetish. So I found some clips. Okay. Not from the series you were watching, but from a lifetime series that aired a couple years ago, called Someone Sleeping in My Bed. That's what I was watching. Oh, you were watching the lifetime series?
Starting point is 00:34:33 Yeah, okay. That's what you were watching the Netflix series. No, I didn't know there was one on Netflix. There is, there's an Amazon or Netflix one would go to. Okay, so I found a couple of clips. Would you like to go through a couple of these with me? I warned you at home. This is highly disturbing. I mean, immediately after I watched these things, I went up front enough stairs.
Starting point is 00:34:51 Did you can see? Yeah, like I did like a little makeshift piece of tape over the, you know, the door that goes into the attic just to see if it ever had been open, you know, like if it would all be... Surprise! Surprise! Yeah! Because I was like, there's nobody upstairs, but I heard a noise.
Starting point is 00:35:08 I know. Chrissy, I got this crawl space. That's terrible down there. Yeah. It gives me the skis just to go down there. Yeah, we have one of those too. And you can, because of the how the house is sloped, you can like almost, like,
Starting point is 00:35:19 not stand up, yeah. You have to bend over, but you can, you feel okay? Crowds. But then you get a couple of feet in, and now you're like, on your hands, right? Just going down. And by the time you get to this side of the house over here, but you can, you feel okay. Crowds. But then you get a couple feet in and now you're like on your hands, right? Just going down. And by the time you get to this side of the house over here, forget about it. It's like a foot and a half clearance and there's old wires down there and cobblets and all
Starting point is 00:35:33 kind of creepy rats and mice. Yeah. But sometimes I hear noises and I think they're coming from the crawl space, but I just say to myself, well, there's the HVAC is down there and there are pipes down there. Maybe they're banging on there. But there's the old two. is down there, and they're pipes down there, maybe they're banging on that. But I think the house is settling. Oh, the house is settling since 1957. That's what my dad used to say.
Starting point is 00:35:51 When we lived in that house, there would be weird noises. And my dad was, oh, the house is settling. It's settling. The house isn't settling. What the fuck are you talking about? I'm living down in the basement. It fits me. I have these examples.
Starting point is 00:36:05 I'd like to share something with you right now. Let's go for it. Okay, are you ready? Yes. I was throwing on the internet. As you do. As I do like to do and without further adieu's. Let's, I got two examples.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Couple minutes on each piece. Let's take a listen to this one. Oh, wait, I should probably turn it on. So I wake up in the morning and we have a bench at the end of the bed and I keep my purse there all the time. I'm certain I put it there, I wake up, can't see it and start to pester Jack about it. My girlfriend said, hey, have you seen my purse? And that wasn't something I usually really keep track of. So we both kind of went such a man. Get it together! You always going to know where your wife's purse is.
Starting point is 00:36:44 What do you have to take her credit card to the gas station? We both kinda went such a man. Get it together! You always gonna know where your wife's first is. What do you have to take her credit card to the gas station? Through the home to see, hey, where could the purse possibly be? We looked in the bedroom, we looked in the laundry room, went through my office, looked in the downstairs bedroom, checked everywhere we could possibly have left a purse in the home, and it wasn't there. This is insane.
Starting point is 00:37:06 This happened to Astrid. I think I told you about this. No. She's got purses, right? Yeah, oh, what don't you ask? Yes, she did. And she's got like, I gave her a nice purses a wedding gift and it's a nice pur.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Yes. But she keeps it in a bag, in a box, in the closet. Special purses. She takes it out on special occasions. Which never happened because we have 30 children. Right. So it's collecting dust up there. They almost happened.
Starting point is 00:37:27 They almost happened. That's right. So one day, it was my missing. She was looking for it, she couldn't find it. Wasn't in the box, wasn't in the bag, wasn't in the closet, we tore this house upside down in sideways, we could not find it. So we start thinking about the people who have been in our house,
Starting point is 00:37:40 who may have gone back there and taken it, but then we're like, no, these people, like Chrissy wouldn't take the back. She didn't go back in my room. It's, you know, and Chrissy's the only person to ever visit. So there you go. My family wouldn't do that.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Why would you? I'm wondering if you guys were freaking out. We were freaking out. And it turns out it was in the suitcase once you were taking a trip. She put it in the suitcase. And then we put the suitcase in the storage and we just forgot about it.
Starting point is 00:37:59 But anyway, I have definitely found stuff in the suitcase as before. It was a creepy sensation. It did. Yeah. So like someone had invaded your privacy and done something with less about the bag or the money, Anyway, I have definitely found stuff in two cases before. It was a creepy sensation. It was a creepy sensation. Yeah, it's like someone had invaded your privacy and done something with less about the bag or the money. It was really about like, that's fucked up. Did the kids sell it for drugs?
Starting point is 00:38:14 Because if they did, they didn't share. And I'm really pissed off. Path, puff, pass. Share. Puff, puff, pass. I was pretty fired up and my hat I was convinced he must have moved it and forgot. Told her, hey, I'm gonna check the security footage
Starting point is 00:38:29 that I have in the house and I guarantee you're walking out of the house with it. He's frustrated in his minds. I mistakenly put it somewhere and forgot. So tension was a little high. I was, wow, it's a good looking couple. Like a good looking couple. I think you have a good, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:44 He was already good looking with it. They showed her. He's a good looking couple. I think you have a good, yeah. He was already good looking, but then they showed her. And I'm like, wow. Well, he must be really good and bad, because he's already good looking. He's like a nine, and like an 8.59. I mean, I'm not trying to judge anybody's looks, but let's just put it on a scale.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Anyway, 8.59 and she's like 11, right? He's a two good looking human beings together. Yeah, they need to make children. They'd be good at that. Maybe they have fun now. Oh, yeah, you know what I right? Pretty steadfast and she's not after all this goes down. She thinks she's stealing. Yeah. Or that. That person's gonna be seeing walking out of the house with her. Kind of almost made a bet that that was the case. The security camera in my home was kind of in the front of the living room if you will.
Starting point is 00:39:22 It shows the whole living room and kind of upstairs as well, but it gives a great view into the main area of the home. So I would have easily been able to see, hey, you walked out with the purse, but you didn't return with it. He has his security device hooked up. So he goes to the application. So we ask you this, we have security cameras
Starting point is 00:39:40 outside of our home. Yeah, so do we. We don't have them inside. I have one on the inside in the baby, in one of the kids' arms, the baby. Yeah, but it's a monitor. It's, you know, we only use it for that. But I wouldn't put cameras in my home if I had to go. You're going to now.
Starting point is 00:39:55 I definitely am. I'm putting them in the basement. I'm putting them in the crawl space. Well, I mean, this guy had, it showed like a quadrant, you know, living room, kitchen, and... Four different angles. Yeah. Why are you doing that? living room. Four different angles. Yeah. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:40:06 I know. What are you taping yourself? It's like when I went to Spain and there was like every Airbnb we went to, there was of these weird big white boxes with cameras on them inside covering every angle. And somebody told us, oh, don't worry about it. That's just for the police. They don't know. And like for the police.
Starting point is 00:40:21 It's like, yeah, in case there's an emergency, they can see in the house what's happening. And I'm like, you think anybody pays attention to those rules? They're like, oh no, it's against the law to look at those if you're not having an emergency And I'm like, can't anybody just make up the fact that they think there's an emergency going on and look at my wife naked for me? Who wants to see my wrinkled balls? And the answer is somebody does because somebody's in everything. Yep. Er.
Starting point is 00:40:41 The answer is somebody does. Because somebody's in everything. Yep. So as I'm looking through the footage, you can see myself on the couch, you can see the TV to the left, the kitchen, and the background to the right behind me is the stairs. Oh, look, they're making out.
Starting point is 00:40:55 I know that is my office. And above that, look, is that on the, okay, so there's, what we're seeing right now is for like a video camera in a quadrant, like Chrissy said, four different angles. And one of them is angled toward the couch and it looks like they're having sex on the couch. Doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:41:11 That's probably why he's taking it. The hallway that leads back into my master bedroom. I'm noticing what's going on in the living room, what's going on in the frame that's captured. Some of the frames where she had walked out of the home and there was no purse in her hand Kind of let her know. Okay, you didn't do it at that point And then kept looking and there was never a point. It's got to be one hell of an argument to have
Starting point is 00:41:33 I know like dating each other where she had left the home with a purse that day So as I was fast forward scrubbing through the video footage that I had, I started to notice something very, very slowly move into the frame. He was a penis. I realized I had dialed in my screen to chatter bait. I'm right. We're winded a little bit and found the perfect spot. And right around 1 a.m.
Starting point is 00:42:05 There happened to be a figure at the top right of the stairs. Oh my gosh. It's so fucking creepy. Oh, they were sleeping. He went in the person went in there. One in the morning. They are sleeping and he goes into the house. This is frogging.
Starting point is 00:42:20 This is not someone breaking into the house. This is someone already in the house. This living somewhere in the home. Wow! No, no, no! No! I'm such a wolf. No, I'm so scared.
Starting point is 00:42:31 That's so scary. Break you out. Oh my god. So we stopped the footage immediately. You got to go to youtube.com slash the commercial break and look at this. This is so fucking creepy. The purse is completely out of our heads. We knew we were down on the couch at that point
Starting point is 00:42:47 and there's a human being standing at the top of the stairs. Oh, they were on the couch. Downstairs. Oh my God. Oh my God. There is a dude with a gray hoodie on. The hoodie is over his head. And he is standing at the top of the stairs.
Starting point is 00:43:01 And he looks like the kind of guy, I mean, there's no kind of guy you want in your house that you don't know, sleeping under your bed. But this guy definitely looks like the kind of guy, I mean, there's no kind of guy you want in your house that you don't know sleeping under your bed. But this guy definitely looks like the kind of guy you do not want sleeping in your house. Look at that. Oh, Chrissy, that's creepy. When I saw the figure at the top of my stairs,
Starting point is 00:43:16 it was absolute fear. Yeah! I mean, you're stunning, just as strong. I'm sitting in the house on the couch. Yeah, I mean, I'm out of the house. I'm driving my laptop, but I'm out of the house. I'm not standing there to watch the video in the mean, I'm out of the house. I'm driving my laptop, but I'm out of the house. I'm not standing there to watch the video in the house. I'm out of the house. I'm locking the door and I'm calling the police and I'm across the street probably with a neighbor who hopefully has like a warm blanket and some hot cocoa and I'm sitting on the
Starting point is 00:43:37 stoop going like this waiting for the police to show up with my dogs at my feet, girlfriend on the couch as well, and there's this figure at the top of the stairs looking down on us. Oh my god. The person standing at the top of the stairs was probably about... Oops, sorry. The person standing at the top of the stairs was probably about Jack's size. He had on a hoodie look like sweats. The footage is a little bit grainy, but we could tell from the footage that it wasn't us.
Starting point is 00:44:11 We don't know who it is. You're, you can tell it's not you. Yeah, Domaz, you're on the couch in the same video and he's standing above you on a balcony looking over you. Oh, Chrissy. This is Nightmare Fuel. this is Nightmare Fuel. It is. This is Nightmare Fuel. And you know that fucking lifetime and the commercial break are just gonna lead to more of these happening. Like I was
Starting point is 00:44:31 talking about it means it's gonna happen more often. That was the moment that you know we both had our stomachs kind of dropped and we realized that holy crap there was a stranger standing here. My hands start sweating and then I began to quickly think my girlfriend she didn't lose her purse. There was somebody in my home that took it. You don't say get the fuck out of the house. Like a bad horror movie. So we sit there looking at the footage for probably 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:45:02 We're trying to make sense of it. He came up from the ground floor, three flights of back steps, and into the master bedroom. The door was unlocked that evening because we had been on the hammock and that was literally the only time in five years living there that that door was unlocked. As I looked at the security footage. Like your wife, they're just hammocky. And the back guard. And the back guard. Falking on the couch. Yeah, in a nice big house Yeah, it's nice lovely house. It's got tons of cameras in it recording his girlfriends every move for strange and weird reasons
Starting point is 00:45:33 What yet to be discovered and you know you got an audience while watching you have sex on the couch. Yeah weird Notice how quiet he was as he came in almost slough like how quiet he was as he came in, almost slough-like. And that, neither of my dogs woke up, I didn't wake up. That's the craziest part. Yeah, that's a dog. That's when you need blue. Blue your face. That is when you need blue.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Barkle, you want a kid. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, because trust me, if someone farts, blue goes on a barking attack. If there was someone upstairs, she would have known. Yeah. He was in my house, why we were asleep for close to 45 minutes. Oh.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Oh. Oh. When the show ends and we wake up, him leaving the home was clearly reaction to us waking up, I think he either heard or saw movement. He leaves in a second later, rough off the couch. And I actually went upstairs first, probably not 30 seconds after him. Oh!
Starting point is 00:46:30 Jesus, fucking Christ. Wow! Creepy! I never saw anyone up there. It's crazy and hindsight to think that if he had immediately vacated the home, I might have encountered him. When it finally sinks in that someone entered the home while I was sleeping, well Jack was sleeping,
Starting point is 00:46:48 it was terrifying. So you go on to learn that they actually, they had found his nest. They found his nest. And it's awful fucking creepy. I mean, Chrissy, this is the kind of stuff that makes your balls travel like. Oh, I know. I mean, Chrissy, this is the kind of stuff that makes your balls travel like. Oh, I know.
Starting point is 00:47:08 I mean, when I, yeah. There's not a lot of stuff that scares me. Yeah. There's not a lot of stuff that scares me. But what does scare me is the thought that someone would be nesting in my home when I don't know about it, even for 45 fucking minutes, even for two minutes. Because he was living somewhere in down.
Starting point is 00:47:24 By the way, Astrid can never hear this episode. I'm deleting all the podcast apps off her phone because Astrid is now going to flip her fucking shit. She doesn't know this exists. And this is. It's scary. Absolutely. Of course it's scary.

Starting point is 00:48:44 It's great to have someone independent of me to share my thoughts with and just relieve some stress and get some guidance. But what do you do when you're experiencing problems in your relationship? Stress around your relationship or maybe you just need a third party to talk to and share your feelings with?

Starting point is 00:51:16 So give yourself what you need in Los Cabos. Book with your travel agent or... Avalidium or Oh my god, this is just fucking insane. All right, we're back. We're talking about frogging the crazy practice I just criminal practice That's the only way to put it fetish practice If criminal intent whatever it is of people who live or stay for periods of time inside your home unbeknownst to you until you find out.
Starting point is 00:51:50 In some of these people have found out, there's a series on lifetime, there's a series on Amazon, a Netflix that you can go watch. And Urban Dictionary will set you in the right direction if you're so interested. Let's take a listen at this second clip that I have that I think is more,
Starting point is 00:52:02 it's a better example of actual frogging in my opinion. Ready for this? I don't know that I can handle a second on this one. It's like creeping me out. I got a little disturbed in my head about this whole thing. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna have to pay someone to go downstairs and check on my car. I don't have any money, but if anyone wants to come
Starting point is 00:52:19 under my, I have a piggy-fronting sticker for you. Well, I didn't actually go in and check into the crawl space. I just put the piece of tape over it. That's like if the door comes open, I'll know it. That's crazy. We have this little tiny attic that sits above our pantry. Yeah, that's weird, a little tiny one too. There's a little box, like a cut out box with a piece of wood on top of it, and you can pop it open and then go in this second attic to that we have.
Starting point is 00:52:43 That no one ever goes up to except for maybe the AT&T guy wants. But I put a piece of tape over it. Yeah. Because when I would close the door, like the air pressure would pop it open a little bit, and it sounded disturbing, like somebody was upstairs. So I put a piece of tape over it. The first thing I'm doing when we get done with this episode
Starting point is 00:52:58 is I'm going to check that piece of tape. All right, let's listen to this. I looked to my side and I saw both cats just staring at me which Really scared me because that meant there was something under the bed I know what the fuck the cats were thinking cats are crazy cats don't get no shit Just stay right now me which means there's someone under the bed. You guys have some secret language that we don't know about with cats? Do me a favor. If there's ever a frog, I want you to stare at me directly for an unannounced amount of time. Cats are nuts, dude. They could eat stare at everything.
Starting point is 00:53:37 At first, my wife didn't hear the noise. She thought I was overreacting and then she heard the noise. After she heard the noise, we get out of that room and then she heard the noise. After she heard the noise, we get out of that room and she slams the door. We thought it was an animal that was under the bed. So we were trying to figure out what to do next, should we call animal. Did you leave the cats as like a treat
Starting point is 00:53:58 for the animal under the bed? What happened to the cats? Now I want to know. They got the cats out of the... Yeah, he was alerted. Okay, good. Control, or should we call the police again? We didn't know what to know. They got the cats out of there. Yeah, he was alerted. Okay, good. Control, or should we call the police again? We didn't know what to do.
Starting point is 00:54:08 Again. I wonder if they had, maybe they had already just gone through this. Yeah, maybe that already suspected something was going on. Yeah. They called the police again. We told the dispatcher we thought there was an animal under our bed, and she told us to leave the house
Starting point is 00:54:23 immediately, so we left. Brian gets freaked out. He manages to convince his wife to leave. They slam the door. What is up with all these people on these life-time documentaries? They're all beautiful human beings. I feel like this is a made-for-TV movie. We're being tricked by lifetime.
Starting point is 00:54:41 If they've left Guizmo, their cat inside there, with God knows what? Oh, they did leave the cat. Leave Gizmo. No problem. You know what happens to Gizmo in the real movie? He gets eaten by the Grimmlands. Come on, dude.
Starting point is 00:54:56 My wife bravely went in and scooped him up and saved him. What? What? Your wife goes in. Wow. What are you thinking? Brian, come on man, on behalf of all of you. Brian's everywhere, could you grow a paratesticals? Either leave Gizmo to be sacrificed.
Starting point is 00:55:11 Or are you going? To the Froggers, or you go in. Chicken shit. They decide to wait for the cops outside of the building. The cops arrive within minutes. The same cops, the same two cops. This time the cops are taking it more serious. I let them in the door.
Starting point is 00:55:28 As the door opens, I see a tall figure dressed in black, standing in our living room, holding shoes and trying to get into the closet door. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Pretty soon she's gonna instruct me to go buy a bunch of guns and security cameras in a metal door. It felt uneasy and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Just the sudden realization that this person had been in our apartment the whole time. I think at this point, everything is continued to escalate. So to see an actual person and to see that it's a woman, none of it makes sense
Starting point is 00:56:25 why she's there, how she got in there, how long was she actually under the bed? So the police handcuffer and take her out of the apartment and as she was talking to the police outside I got a better look of her. She kind of had a straggly hair, she was very tall but she was laughing and just joking around with the cops
Starting point is 00:56:47 and kind of being a little flirty. Hey, you want me to come over and sleep under your bed? Five to 12 weeks. That's all a big mess under staying. Don't worry about your wife, I'm really quiet. It's just a big mess under standing. I'm renting the floor under their bed. It's my room big misunderstanding. I'm renting the floor under their bed. It's my room.
Starting point is 00:57:07 The police told it. I got it on Airbnb. You're right. That I believe. This person was known for trespassing and construction sites. So if the screws kind of made sense. And then... Oh, I read a little bit about this particular case.
Starting point is 00:57:24 They were finding random screws around the house, and they didn't know what was going on. They were like, who did you leave the screw here? No, I didn't. That was like one of the first indications. I don't know what happened on the first police phone call didn't say, but... So that she had been up for days, and that she was paranoid. She thought people were after her.
Starting point is 00:57:44 And then, for British Air airways flights got canceled. Right. Exactly. So please leave. And we go back in our apartment. There's still several hours of cleaning to be done. Because we didn't know what to do. We were still running on a drennel
Starting point is 00:58:00 and we wanted to make the apartment whole again. So we decided just to stay up and clean. No, you stay up and pack. That's what you do, bro. That's exactly what I do. You stay up and you pack and you move to the other side of town. They've cleared enough stuff away that they can actually look under the bed.
Starting point is 00:58:18 So Brian grabs a flashlight. And I sign a flashlight under the bed and we find our biggest kitchen knife. Another wave of anxiety like who went through me. It's two o'clock in the morning and it hit me like what kind of danger we potentially could have been in. Oh yeah, bro. Oh yeah, bro.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Man. She's going to be stabbing you from under that bed. You would never know. Dude. Brian. Move. Come on. You want never know, dude, Brian. Move, come on, you wanna come to my house? I mean, you can go to the crawl space.
Starting point is 00:58:49 Yeah, you gotta go to the crawl space. It'll be a little uncomfortable for the first month, but you'll figure it out. It's a lovely weather up there. It's really disturbing to think about she had that the whole time. And as he's shining the light around, he notices. A needle. Hmm. And as he's shining the light around, he notices...
Starting point is 00:59:08 A needle. And wow. Pieces of fabric and stuff. There's fabric coming from the bottom of the box spring because she had been stabbing the bottom of the bed. That we had been sitting on all night. What? Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Starting point is 00:59:25 Oh! Chrissy, this is so, so, so disturbing. Oh! Oh! You know. Oh! Okay, let's make it through. My brother tells me about the knife.
Starting point is 00:59:43 It's just, it's horrifying because who knows what her mindset was, but just the idea that she could have harmed them, she could have, you know, slashed at their feet. I don't know. It just, it makes my skin crawl, to be honest. So I don't know anyone whose skin would not crawl hearing this same story told in the same way.
Starting point is 01:00:04 But it hit me pretty slowly, I think. anyone whose skin would not crawl hearing this same story told in the same way. It hit me pretty slowly. I think I definitely couldn't sleep that week. It wasn't like I was scared of things under the bed anymore. I was just this whole violation. I was just trying to figure out what motivated her to choose us and how long it's she been in our apartment and what was going through her mind. Who knows, maybe she was planning on staying there. It was really disturbing. Things could have gone so wrong.
Starting point is 01:00:36 Just me thinking about that, gave me anxiety. Bro, things did go wrong. You had a woman living under your bed and you didn't know it. Things went wrong, yeah, with a knife. They just didn't go like the worst kind of wrong, but they went pretty wrong in the first place. Why are you leaving your windows and doors open, dude?
Starting point is 01:00:52 Come on, Brian, get it to get, Brian, call me. Even though everything turned out fine, I just keep thinking about what if... Everything turned out fine. Yeah, you almost got stabbed. That's a lot of hard to take. Oh, god damn. Frogging, it's the international sensation,
Starting point is 01:01:10 coming to a, under your bed soon. Oh. Coming to a bed near you or under you. Frogging. I know, there was another one that I watched where they came home early. The family came home early. And that's when they found the guy.
Starting point is 01:01:23 Oh, really? Yeah, and they were trying to get in. And he was like, you're at the wrong house. They're like, no, we're not. This is our house. This is like these Airbnb's where people just aren't leaving. Yes. Yeah, this is like another thing too. I know. I knew it was all going to go to hell in the hand basket. I told you back in the summer.
Starting point is 01:01:37 It's all going to go to hell in the hand basket. It's going to hell in a hand basket. And that, my friends, is why you don't get fucked up on a Tuesday night. You're gonna end up under somebody's bed with a knife in your hand. It just leads to trouble. Thank you, British Airways. But you can just blame it on the locals. Just blame it on the locals.
