I think we could let this ride. These cookies are delicious. Peanut butter? Oh, yeah. Karen, we made a bunch for a little party. Oh, so a responsible party, though. Well, yeah, it was... So my brother was having a Fourth of July party, and, like, leading up to it, I was just like, man, the numbers keep getting worse.

Like, well, so, last weekend we were at Ocean, are we recording? Yeah, last weekend Karen and I went to Ocean City. Yeah. And, like, while we're in Ocean City, like, that's when. You just keep going to these hotbeds. You're just like, yeah, we went to Phoenix for Ocean City. Yeah. And while we're in Ocean City, that's when- You just keep going to these hotbeds. You're just like, yeah, we went to Phoenix for a second, then Florida. Well, we are going to be in South Carolina literally in two weeks, so- Yeah, we're going to a Trump rally on Friday.

Which I don't think is a good idea, and I am hoping just gets canceled. Because I feel like if I bail, she'll be super upset. You're like, between me, you, and the hundreds of people listening. Yeah. But, yeah, so we were in Ocean City last weekend, which we were relatively, like, we were pretty safe. But while we're in Ocean City, like, all the numbers keep coming in about, like, now coronavirus is back in the headlines numbers are surging with young people and we're in ocean city and bro uh no surprise people are not taking it seriously not not wearing a mask huh yeah no mat like there's some mass like if you have to go into

establishments but like uh but then like you know we were looking for a place to eat and we went in one place and they had no outdoor seating and people were just sitting inside just eating it was full and i was like i cannot believe this is happening so i was like karen i'm not eating inside even people just eating outside i mean i get like if you know the people or you've been around them like everybody's kind of fudging the rules now like even us podcasting oh yeah i was a bad boy last night i feel guilty about it i'm excited to be here yeah umar is using his own mic though thank god but no like everybody's kind of fudging it a little bit but if you start mixing the circles

of who's fudging it like because you can have a restaurant like a tabletop of four that's not really six feet away to another tabletop of four and so on i'm like even worse like yeah so then you're inside and yeah the first night we were there was thursday and a lot of people weren't there yet and so we ate at like fagers which is like a very popular i I think. Is that how it's pronounced? Yes, I think so. Fager's. Excuse me. It's definitely that, right?

F-A-G-E-R-S. I'm sure they're not like, come on down to Fager's, man. Yeah. But we sat outside and it was fine. We were spaced and it just wasn't that crowded and they have big outdoor seating because it's like a restaurant on the bay. Yeah. But then the next night we tried to go to this place, and it was so crowded. Then I just Googled another place, and we go there, and it was like, okay, cool.

They have outdoor seating. It's only like a handful of tables. There's a bar outdoors. So we're like, fuck it. Let's just order a drink. We'll wait like 10 minutes for a table. So for some reason, the bartender in ocean city is like hey man i'm swamped it's gonna take like 10 minutes for me to get to you guys hey man i have coronavirus so if i go a

little slow i'm just i feel sick yeah cut me a break and you know and it's like ocean city too like uh there's no like you know karen and i are like pieces of shit well not karen more so just me like where if i go out to eat like i can't eat like i don't like eating like super shit like it's not that i don't like like hamburgers and stuff but like i don't want to eat at like a place it's like just bar food which is hard to find in ocean city and i also don't like drinking shitty drinks because if i'm gonna drink i want to drink something nice because i only have like two drinks a night. Well, you're also making the effort. So it's like while we're here, we might as well.

But Ocean City, it's not that kind of town. It's like there's literally like Natty Light. We pass so many Natty Light cans on the ground. Because, you know, it's just kids. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. Also, nobody's ever like, man, I was in Ocean City and I had the best Manhattan of my life.

Seriously. Yeah. I went down to Thrasashers and i do say my good man well and that's do it yeah well i gotta get in ocean city because i do have some weird like things that happen i'm down here on a boardwalk i was fucked up on an old-fashioned i just got done checking the s&p 500 stocks was up yeah dude so we go, we try to go to this place, Liquid Assets, because this woman. Oh, I've heard of that. Yeah.

Yeah. I've been there before. Yeah. I went like three years. So I went to the beach three years ago. Mm-hmm. And. Brag.

While I was there. I know. Ocean City. Yeah. Like every three years. While I was there, I went to the, there's outlets now that are right outside of Ocean City. Real quick side note, though. The last time right outside of Ocean City real quick side note though

the last time you did an Ocean City recap three years ago I got broken up with I had to delete the podcast so just tread lightly I totally forgot it I mean not forgot but I forgot too until you said that that's like oh yeah oh yeah because last time I went with a chick who I was seeing for like a month. Yeah. And then it wouldn't have lasted anyway. But like, just so funny that a relationship was ended after a podcast. Yeah, that was about a trip to Ocean City. I think she just didn't like where she was like a lawyer.

And I was like, oh, we were at this lawyer convention and there was whores and cocaine there, which I didn't see any cocaine. But I'm sure there was coke there. And I think I did was whores and cocaine there, which I didn't see any cocaine, but I'm sure there was coke there. Yeah. And I think I did see whores, so. Sure. And, you know, once you have one, the other is going to be present. The correlation. Yeah.

It's like, do you have ants or do you have crumbs? Right. Probably both. Mm-hmm. You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. Sure. And so, yeah, I went there.

And because I was, we went there for like a lawyer conference, I had to go buy clothes because I didn't know that we were going to a fancy thing. So I just Googled mall or something, and the outlets came up. And I was like, perfect, J.Crew. This is my style. This was three years ago. This was three years ago. Right. And then, so Karen and I went back to that same J.Crew.

And I just said something, and this lady back to that J crew, same J crew. And I just said something in this lady was like, oh, you're really happy. And I was like, oh, what are you going to do? We're all going to die. We're just like making jokes. And she's like, what do you and she's like, what do you do? And I was like, oh, I'm a school psych. And she's like, where Baltimore City? And she's like, hey, I've talked to you before. You've been in here, right? And I was like, yeah yeah and this lady remembered me from three years ago because we talked and then i remembered like we talked forever like yeah we just like i think i was there for a half an hour we were just chatting it up she's an art school

teacher that's just like your normal sad person opening line how are you we're all gonna die she's like i remember that yeah i don't often hear that and uh yeah then we just started talking and yeah like oh yeah i remember you blah blah blah and then so she gave us all these awesome because she moved down there from like uh montgomery county or something and so she gave me all these restaurant recommendations oh and uh liquid assets is one of them yeah it's seafood right i don't know i just know that they have good cocktails that's what i asked her for gotcha if a place has good cocktails the food is generally gonna be good yeah at least decent so yeah anyway so then we were didn't go there but we went to this place

called hooked okay and uh tons of prostitutes cocaine yeah yeah and well this is now fat come back now with my girlfriend who i love and we're not going to break up hopefully because of this podcast. Fingers crossed. And so the bartender is like, he's like, I can't, you know, it's gonna be 10 minutes. So he's like, we got a bar inside and we got two bars inside, one upstairs, one right there. They can take care of you. And I was like, fuck. But then I was like, it's just like being in a grocery store. I'll put my mask on. I'll be in there for five minutes and i'll leave bro i walk in this

restaurant you know so they're supposed to have 50 occupancy yes and it's supposed to be spaced bro this bar yeah it's like a you know u-shaped bar yeah the whole bar not a seat empty yeah shoulder to shoulder no one's wearing a mask and the bartender has a mask around her neck sure and i was just like well i guess i'm ordering a drink from this uh fine like well i already caught it i guess yeah so that was scary but we had masks on and so you know we'll see and uh i mean that was like the only time where i was like oh dude this is bad and so we i didn't go in after that well uh it's interesting because most people don't know how they caught corona you know and i know that i got it from you yeah this is good hey if you go to grocery stores the same risk's the same risk level. That's what they say. That's what they say.

Yeah, so that sucked. But the food at Hooked, dude, if you go to Ocean City. Banging. Fucking awesome. Nice. I would say it's like, yeah, it's really fucking good. It's expensive. It's like food market, but better.

Oh, interesting. The prices are the same, but the food is better. Right. So, again, Hooked, seafood, or beyond that. food they got steaks they got it all yeah it is true that it's like if you have a good cocktail rarely are you like yeah the cocktails are banging their cheese fries you get them fully loaded their cocktails were good but also you know we live in like a douchey part of the city so yeah cocktails here are amazing yeah there's one thing that uh i noticed in our neighborhood recently recently is that there's a big mural of a neighborhood cat that has recently passed.

Like an entire wall dedicated to a cat. And it was put amongst all the chaos. Amongst, yeah, of all the nationwide protests and upheaval. And then, so yeah, this cat, cat i don't know what is it like 50 feet tall yeah like 10 feet wide and then there's like a whole back of uh like a bank bank of america and i think like another building too so let's say like three row homes maybe yes um but then there's a parking lot behind that and there's like an elevated curb and on that they've spray painted black lives matter like cool that's a foot tall and we have this cat this fucking cat that had its own instagram page

yeah like i get it killer it's pretty cute but yeah you're like hey we all love this cat but it's like oh man killer's the best also black lives matter yeah so anyway let's get a cocktail what's so weird that uh there's a cat and its name is Killer and right under it is a Black Lives Matter. Not a good look, Hamden. Not great. And they probably commissioned that mural of the cat months ago. Just change it. You'd be like, let's take a break.

Yeah. Oof. Yeah, crazy. So how long were you in Ocean City? Yeah, so we went Thursdayursday through sunday so is that three nights thursday night friday saturday four days yes which is more than enough yeah yeah for ocean city because totally would never go to ocean city it's the only thing oh but the one cool thing this time was like i've only went to ocean city minus the the because that chick she paid for

everything because sure it was like her job paid for it yeah um but usually when i go to ocean city like i go uh i was like in high school college we're all oh senior week yeah so then you stay you i never have been to ocean city where we stayed like anywhere near uh the coastal highway like it was always like all right well we'll drive it's like a 15 minute drive blah blah blah blah but it's affordable and i remember one time dude we were in college or yeah i think we were in college maybe like a year or two out my buddy sean's like oh dude my parents my grandparents have like uh i think i don't know if we talked about this on the last podcast or we've talked about we talked about it in person okay that's what it was yeah yeah but i didn't this like my buddy sean in college high school in college like he was like oh my

grandparents have this uh because you know on in Ocean City they have trailers sitting there, like a trailer park. Oh, no, it is. Yeah. Yeah, a trailer park, but it's right off Coastal Highway. Yeah. I forget what it's. It's like Pinewoods or something like that. Yeah, something like that.

And then my buddy's like, oh, yeah, my grandparents have like a trailer. And I thought it was that. He's like, yeah, it's like it's a 10 minute drive from ocean city dude so we start driving and we're like where we left in the evening so it's night by the time and like yeah and and this is like map quest era and i'm like bro, like, we pass the exit for to, like, the 50 whatever that'll take, like, I don't know. Oh, like the split where it's either, like, it takes you to the beginning of Coastal Highway or to 64th Street or whatever. Yeah, and we just keep going, and it's getting, like, desolate and more desolate. It's dark as shit.

I'm like, dude, what? You said it was, like, five minutes away from Ocean City. He's like, I mean, yeah, around there. Dude, we are literally in a camper in the fucking woods. And I shit you not, I'm not exaggerating. Without traffic, it was a 45-minute drive to Ocean City. Yeah, that is not Ocean City. Fireworks going on. Yeah, it's uh july 5th you gotta do that so we're in a camper it's three adult dudes i mean we're like 20 so it doesn't

matter right but you're in the middle of fucking nowhere we're in the middle of nowhere there it's like a area of woods where it seems like people just live there for the summer it's insane it's like this whole people next year of rednecks they're like how are you good to see you and uh what didn't feel safe sure brown guy uh a lot of i do remember confederate flags sure did you get questions like where are you from no one talked to us thank god okay yeah which is sometimes even more scary but uh yeah you can't win because you're like god they're so quiet but then when they tell you like how you boys doing you're like uh yeah wish you wouldn't talk to us and so we're in this camper it's like it would have been fine if it wasn't an

hour away from the beach yeah so then it's like i don't even think we went swimming dude because yeah it was like dude well we're also the idea of three dudes just laying out on a beach seems stupid i would do it i think it'd be fun i think it would be fine i don't think we did do it i like the beach though i like swimming i do too now i used to hate it yeah well you were more like body conscious and stuff too oh that probably has yeah but i also like i'll do i always rent an umbrella though when i go to the beach sure sure because i don't sit in the sun well yeah i mean you were nervous to even just show your arms you know what i mean so oh that's true i'm sure taking your shirt off you're like who the fuck wants to do that yeah yeah but i was pretty skinny in high school like skinny or college like skinny

skinny right right but yeah yeah but i also just like i hated like but this was all because i've never done the beach right because then you're like man it sucks and you're just all sandy all day yeah so that's the thing it's like because we would never be near the beach it's like if we go to ocean city it's a commitment we're there all day so if you get sandy and all that shit then it's just that's it for the rest of the day and you're so are you sure you're not like a middle-aged jewish guy like you go to the beach and then you have sand everywhere you go to the restaurant you're still at the beach you got sand in your shoes so i just remember but yeah they have those like hoses you know there's like those little

showers in your ass and all that shit. A little bit. Yeah. Listen, you go to the bathhouse, you work it out with some fellas. Nah, yeah, I hate having the shit, yeah, all over me, but there is enough, like, enough of those showers and stuff to rinse it off. Then you gotta go flip-flops. I'm not wearing shoes.

I hate having sand in my shit. Yeah, dude, no, no. Flip-flops all the way. Yeah. If you know one, you can't be a shooby man no no no not on the beach from saying afterwards if you like go out and stuff like that shoes if i'm if i'm walking the boardwalk all right i feel you i feel you but uh dude we tried the oh yeah so then we stayed at a real nice like hotel for ocean city yeah because um we have to bring the dog oh yeah yeah and uh anyway so yeah

we on coastal highway 62nd street great area and uh there's just gonna be fireworks in the background i mean that's just modern living that's 2020 baby yeah so dude the first night we got there we passed out at nine o'clock just like like, we're not late, people. And like, what are we going to do? Yeah, you guys are. And then. You guys are like, fucking party. Yeah. And then the second or Saturday night, we were like, all right, let's.

Hey, let's go to the boardwalk. We'll buy some like shitty T-shirts. And Karen really wanted to take pictures in like the old school photo booths. Oh, yeah. Chicks love that stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And so. Did you see any good shirts, by the way? take pictures in like the old school photo booths oh yeah chicks love that stuff yeah yeah yeah and so did you see any good shirts by the way well we took we went to the boardwalk we parked we took

three steps on the boardwalk and i was like karen this is not safe there's nobody's wearing a mask most people are not wearing a mask there's and it's like a normal summer day in Ocean City. I thought it would be empty. It is packed. I think Ocean City has been packed since May. Yeah. I saw conflicting. Some people are like, well, the angles are making it look more crazy than it is.

I was there. It's not that bad. But, dude, when we we went it was horribly packed yeah i'm guessing it only like probably started in may where it was like this ain't good but it's not bad for ocean city and ever since then it's probably been getting worse and worse and karen what it was funny because she was like yeah i was uncomfortable anyway not because of corona but just like the type of people on a boardwalk yeah that like look they actually are there because they think it's cool dude you gotta understand like for a lot of people like ocean city

is like the vacation well yeah it's like uh it's like adults that are still into disney yeah it's like you gotta move out of that at some point where it's like as a kid you're like the beach and the boardwalk and arcades but it it's also trash also. Yes, sure. So the guys who know Ocean City so well, and they're these super tatted up white dudes. But not like Monster Energy Tats. Glenn Burney, yeah. That kind of person. When you're young, you're probably like, man, these people are so cool.

They're just hanging out, drinking outside of the bar, facing the boardwalk all day yeah well you just you're like oh man they're just drinking they got like yeah hot trashy chicks next to them yeah they have boobs yeah so and we're walking by there's also like kids you know because they're renting homes like right there they're just smoking weed listening to like really loud music and we're just smoking weed, listening to really loud music. And we're just walking by. I'm like, man, this is garbage. Like garbage. Oh, dude. Ocean City is super white trash. But it can be fun.

If you don't go to the boardwalk, I think it's fine. Yeah. If you do not go to the boardwalk, it's fine. We'll usually go. Me and the boys, we'll do Scott. His aunt has a place down there. We can go in the off season oh that's great so the boardwalk's really fun in like november or october whenever we go yeah because everything's still open so you can do arcade the arcades are what's up dude i love arcade arcade also uh so fun i'm a fucking beast at the claw games what's that like

the claw oh yeah i've gotten myself a ra claw. Oh, you are? Oh, yeah. I've gotten myself a Ravens basketball before. No big deal. Like a full-size basketball. No, for real? For real, for real. What? Yeah.

That's insane. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, I love the claw. I love the arcade games. We got to hit up the Coors Bros. Got to get some ice creams. But the favorite shirt that we-

You're not a dumpsters guy. Well, I think there's a war between the, I mean, I'll go with either. But, you know, I like the core bros. I've never even heard of core bros. Wow. But I did see there's Taharqa sneaking down in Ocean City. Oh, wow. The war.

Gross. Yeah. Well, they don't have their own, but like a place sells. But they even have a big banner that says we sell Taharqa here. So the word's spreading that's impressive but so like they have all those shirts down there like the shitty like bro shirts where it's like like an arrow pointing up yeah and it says the man and then an arrow that points down says the legend yes that's what i wanted like something like that where we could take pictures together we saw yeah oh yeah exactly where it's like i'm with this

idiot yeah and it's funny because when you're young you look at like that would be so but you're like poor and you're like i can't spend twenty dollars i remember i got a shirt that was it was like i think it was a simple it might have just been the letter i and then a heart and then a cat and my mom was like you're not wearing those oh god no it's so, it's so cool. When I was in high school, when Blink-182's Take Off Your Pants and Jackets CD came out, I had a long sleeve with the symbols on the album cover where it was a plain pants and a jacket. And my friends told this, we had this conservative christian teacher they thought it'd be funny to tell him what it actually means and he like got like legit mad at me and i was like no

they're just that's a lie okay because if it is that's sexual and i have to report you and i'm like i was like all right man just fucking no relax like nah dude it just means plain plain take uh plain jacket pants you used to have to have prayer circles in the morning and shit. It was weird. In public school? Oh, yeah. Oh, buddy. Very cool.

He taught tech. How to suck a dick. But he never. Dude, but so much of that class had nothing to do with technology. I remember he used to be a cop. Oh. And so he would do all these lessons about like, he's like, look, you got to know your rights. He's like, I remember he told this story.

He was like, it was one of my first. He was like, you, brown boy. Yeah. He was like, it was my first days on the job. He was a cop in New York City. And he was like, this cop was like, hey, look at this. He's like, we have these two black kids. And my partner told him to pull their pants down.

They pulled their pants down. And he's like, you know why they did that? And we're like, because they were scared. He's like, no, they didn't know their rights. And I was like, yeah, I think there's other reasons they didn't do that. They're scared? Yeah. As hell.

When does it ever work? We're like, excuse me, sir, the Constitution. Yeah. Yeah, that's how this all started. Yeah, exactly. And then one time we all sat in our chairs. Again, this is a class where you're supposed to be building shit. Sure.

And we all sat in like a row, a line where we're like, we put our chairs where they're facing each other and he had people like walk down and he was pretending to be like a bad guy with like a gun and he's like and like so some people playing cops some people are playing like i guess like citizens or something and he's just like trying to teach us how to be alert for people with weapons i'm like what are we learning right now dude wow crazy wow he's like we're building a better society and all around us we had all this equipment that we never used right right right because our school used to be a trade school so all this shit was left there oh gotcha gotcha gotcha yeah um man i'm trying to think if we had i i definitely had some weird moments especially with like substitutes that are like nah we'll just do whatever

um but i just want to say my favorite ocean city shirt that i've seen oh yeah is uh uh it says i'm not gay but twenty dollars is twenty dollars we're like these shirts are supposed to be for bros And what bro's like come on I just suck his dick It's not a lot of money either $20 Also one thing that I noticed about like beach towns Is like and Karen and I were saying this

Like beach towns like time Stands still almost Where it's like everything just feels So like 60s 70s You can see some of that but like a sensations like it's very 80s to me oh yeah or like but yeah yeah maybe like the but like it's just it's uh let's just say it's very delayed yeah like it takes it's stuck it's stuck yeah because like yeah all those stores are exactly how i remember them oh yeah yeah especially in

the 90s like all that stuff like the tie-dye stuff and where it's like dude there also used to be a ton more like confederate flag stuff that's still down there like confederate flag bathing suits and shit i mean maybe this summer it'll be different but i don't know but it's also that then okay so then you build this mile-long boardwalk, and you're like, it just shows you if supply is truly based on demand, the merch that is sold on the boardwalk truly shows you what trash. Oh, yeah. shows you what trash oh yeah because like why is every sure you're this is beachfront property and every store is just some shitty t-shirt store like every store on the boardwalk yeah the shitty t-shirt store that has been there for years yeah the bank that has to approve the loan for their business yeah like and what's your business model? Like, well, I was going to sell shirts and say, I love cock.

Yeah. Right. But it's a picture of a rooster. Oh, okay. Let me get my manager in here and we can fast track this. Yeah. I just imagine there's like a, I don't know, like a business that's like, hey, we sell handmade chocolates.

Like, what the fuck? You better make that chocolate a dick real quick yeah you want to be in ocean city uh yeah that's a funny thing too it's like it's a family trip it's like oh boy yeah that is so interesting it's like a but then like i would not take my kids on the boardwalk in ocean city it's just filled with garbage people, garbage imagery all around. It's insane. Yeah. It would be like a place to take your kid to be like, hey.

Don't do this. Don't be like this. This isn't cool. If you're an adult and you're vacationing here, you fucked up. But as a kid, though, you're like, this is cool. Yeah. You think all these people are cool. You think people who are partying on hotels as you're walking by on the boardwalk and they're smoking and yelling out.

You're like, damn, that person knows how to live. And you're like, oh, that person lives paycheck to paycheck. Oh, yeah, their life is a nightmare. And shares memes on Facebook that are made by Russia. Yeah, that are racist. Yeah, exactly. You're just like, God, dude. I love that shit, though. I loved going and then going to the skate shop places. Oh. Yeah. That are racist. Yeah, exactly. God, dude. I love that shit, though.

I loved going and then going to like the skate shop places and being like, I bought like a bootleg Deftones video for like 50 bucks and stuff. I loved it. Yeah, dude. Loved it. Dude. Yeah. It's garbage.

But the beach was great. That one. So then we leave the boardwalk because I was just like, this is unsafe. I don't feel comfortable being around this many people. It's insane. Yeah. Which is also insane because I protested. But what are you going to do?

But everybody that was protesting mostly had a mask on. They did. And it was your way more spaced. Also, real quick, can we get another round of beers? Yeah, let's do it. Can we pause real quick? Yeah, pause it. Wait, what are we going to get to?

Is that Ocean City? I just don't want to forget oh we're gonna leave the boardwalk okay leaving the boardwalk be right back this looks like a nolan style uh can i think it's a pa company yeah aston pennsylvania yeah so i'm pretty sure that's him 2sp brewing company up and out hazy ipa this is pretty pretty dang good. Pretty good. Pretty good. Listen, I'm like, speaking of trash. You're doing the light beers, guys. I'm doing the Modellos.

I was trying to do a sober month starting this week, but then the fourth came, and I was like, all right right after this week yeah i mean it would be disrespectful to america so disrespectful to not drink yeah it's uh it's tough it's tough when you're also quarantining and you're just like what there's nothing to do you're

We're like, fuck this. Let's go to a restaurant. And so we're like, my buddies and I think that woman, J. Crew, who seemed like if I lived in Ocean City, me and Karen would hang out with her. So we had similar styles. Yeah.

And I was like, yeah, she said this place. Let's go there. It's Mackey's. Okay. Which is like another on the bay, huge place uh but it's like mostly outdoor seating and i was like all right let's go there and a buddy of mine who has a place down there a buddy of mine whose in-laws gifted them a house down there whoa insane they were just like if you guys want to renovate it, it's yours. Damn. Right? Come on. Just gave it to them? I think so.

Yeah. It's so funny because he's also a school psych who's just like, what are we doing? He's like, dude, honestly, I just want to work at a brewery. I'll work at Costco's. I just don't want to do this anymore. He's like, I'm not fixing anything. Yeah, exactly. It's like this is a generational problem that will never end yeah anyway yeah dude if you can pay your mortgage with a home

in ocean city that was gifted to you why not why the fuck not yeah anyway so um we go to mackey's bro you pull up in this parking lot it is ithmm. It is, it, like, you ever watch, like, a video of, like, a spring break party where there's just people everywhere, like, pouring out everywhere drinking? Yeah. This was the situation at Mackey's. Yeah. Like, we pull up, and I'm like, is this a frat party or a, like, what the? Like, it looks like one of those videos you would see on MTV as a kid. Yes, exactly.

Like, God, life's just a party yeah and then carson daly's in the middle of it with black fingernails for some reason oh because he's a bad boy yeah yeah yeah yeah that's when they had like the new jersey like beach house or whatever yeah i remember they go to cancun a lot and have spring break oh yeah that too i was like is that just what life it looked like that but in this parking lot in front of the restaurant. And so I'm like, Karen, I don't know. She's like, well, these are the people just wait. But like, no one's wearing masks.

Everyone's sitting right next to each other. They're all drinking and hanging out. And I'm like, God damn. So we walk to the hostess place. So we went to this hot spot called COVID. And dude, it was lit yeah not great and uh so we have our masks on the whole time yeah and i'm like i feel bad because i think karen was a little well not like super upset but she's just like we're just wasting time because it's like all right we we fucking you i had to wait for you to finish your run then you showered

now we went to the boardwalk. That didn't work out. Now this. And so I'm like, all right, I guess we just have to eat here. So, yeah, it's like vacation blue balls, too. Because it's like. But you also just can't function normally. But that's the thing. You have to just be okay with life being normal right now.

It being different. And you can't let it upset you. And if you try something and it's uncut you just you can't life is not normal and you can't act like it is because it's unsafe so you should just be able to be like all right we gotta pull an audible right now which is what like all the trump no mask people are like no yeah i don't want to do an audible. Yeah. Or young kids who are idiots. Who also just don't know. They're like, fuck that.

It's weird because when I was in college, I was more uptight than I am now. So I would never be acting like that. Yeah, I don't think so either. You know, so. Yeah. I didn't even drink in college. Oh, I definitely drank. But like. Oh.

Hey, I'm reckless. Wow. steve austin over there breaking bottles yeah oh i saw a story speaking of no mass uh but umar's corona bottle just smashed because he's so pissed off at these rednecks not wearing their masks uh did you know that kane the former wrestler is a governor mayor? He's a governor now in Tennessee. Oh, he's a mayor, yeah. Yeah. And he's all about no masks right now, which is so ironic. Which I love, too. He's like, look, I've worn enough, all right?

We're not wearing those. God damn it. Cobb's going to. Shout out to Kane. Cobb's going to die. He's going to hose this area off. Yeah, and if you get like a big chunk of glass right there yeah it's not good for the dog you should definitely like you got an outdoor broom or anything you can i do yeah it's actually oh not outdoors right now um but yeah

anyway umar's too mad we're at mackie's and it's like insane dude also by the way i just forgot like how every chick at a restaurant in Ocean City is insanely hot. And you're just like, oh, but they're like 19. Chris D'Elia. Just FYI, Chris D'Elia. I'm going to hang out there. Yeah, he's like, have you ever been to Ocean City, bro? It's crazy.

Dude, it's crazy how hot these chicks are because they just move there to work in the summer. Yeah, they probably go to Salisbury. And restaurants probably only hire hot chicks. And you're just like god i'm just picturing the sign you know it's like now hiring it's like now hiring hot chicks only like yeah all right it's crazy 19 year old hot yeah it's insane and uh but uh oh yeah so we go to this place mackie's yeah it's spring break and it's spring break it's fucking insane i mean people are like drinking in the parking lot as they're waiting for their tables because they have people serving them.

Oh, so like tailgating. Pretty much because the wait is so long. So we go to the hostess booth and we're like, hey, how long for two? They're like an hour. And Karen's like, fuck it, let's just do it. And so she takes my phone number down but then she also hands me a buzzer thing what and i'm like i do not want to there's no i don't trust that you wipe this down yeah at all you're 17 19 you don't give a shit oh no

people who own this place clearly don't give a fuck. Oh, no. And it would be funny. The owner is like, I assure you, we're taking the most precautions. Every time I snort cocaine in the bathroom, I wash my hands. After every time I bang one of my 17 year old fucking employees. I give her mouthwash. I give her mouthwash and we both sanitize. After I have sex with a 19 year old, I fire her and hire another one. And they signed an NDA. Yeah. She was going to be 20 soon fire her and hire another one. Yeah. And they signed an NDA.

Yeah, she was going to be 20 soon anyway, and that's gross. Yeah. Welcome back to Chris DeLeus. Yeah. So we're sitting in the parking lot, and I'm trying to be okay with the situation because I don't want to upset Karen. But I was like, Karen, I don't want to eat here. You guys also have that fragile couple thing going on where one person is pissed and then there's like, well, okay. Yeah.

And to be fair, she wasn't pissed, but she was just like, I don't want to run around all night. Well, her annoyance level is growing. Yeah. And I am more cautious about all this stuff than she is, probably because she works at a hospital. Yeah. And so she's like, we're all fucked. She's also like, I'm in the middle of it every day. And she's like, however safe you guys think hospitals are, they just aren't.

Sure. So because. How could they be? Like, you, you, like, she was, I don't need to get her in trouble or anything. But so. She's like, every doctor has diarrhea and he lets it go in one of the rooms well so then i was just like karen we were in the parking lot for five minutes i was like i i don't want to eat here i'm uncomfortable let's just go to the place we went to hooked because we know it's safe it's

small and uh we know we like it and there probably won't be a wait plus we got coped there last night so yeah so when we go there and it was great. We sat on their patio. There was like only two tables there. And it was like, dude, such good food. But it's so funny because they do have decent drinks, but they'll make you a drink. And they're like, how is it? And I'm like, do you want? I'm like, dude, it's an old fashioned with crushed ice.

It's not great. Also, we're in ocean city yeah we're no relax bro i'm not sending a drink back but i'm also not telling you you knocked it out of the park yeah i would love that like ocean city like you go to the dough roller like how was that pizza incredible yeah it's like no dude i'm here yeah yeah yeah it's not yeah it's we're picky. Best mini golf of your life? Yeah. It's fine. I wish we did mini golf. We didn't do mini golf.

Mini golf, when we go down, that is a staple. It is very fun. We really wanted to, but. Oh, you're inside. Well, they have outdoor ones. No, they have outdoor ones, but when you spend like four hours at the beach, you get drained, and I think Karen didn't want to be in the sun. Yeah.

We usually do an indoor one because it's like fall slash winter. Oh, I did an outdoor one the first time I went to the beach, and my brother almost went missing forever. What? I never told you that story? No, let's circle back to that, though. Oh, okay. That's great.

Anyway, that was our, yeah, so we ate there, and it was great. Yeah, it was great. But our first family vacation ever was in Ocean City when I was in first grade. And it's so funny, too, like being an adult and going to Ocean City. Because when you're a kid, you just be like, man, adults suck. They just lay on the beach and they read. They hop in for two seconds and they come back. And that's all you do now.

That blew my mind when adults were like i'm just gonna get in real quick i'm like this is why we're here exactly grab a boogie board boogie board yeah ride waves also swim out because i like yeah obviously i wasn't like the biggest kid so i was like the boogie board's actually your size what are you doing yeah i do i remember like being a kid it's just been like even when I was a little kid at the pool, I'm like, why are these motherfuckers just coming? There's a whole pool here. We're playing shirts and minnows.

We're playing fucking. We got a basketball hoop. We're playing 50 in the pool. What the fuck? Adult swim would piss me off so much when the pool would be empty. I'm like, you get in that fucking thing. Or let me in that. I got to say.

No justice, no peace. Let's go. When you are an adult, adult swim is tight. Of course. Because you're like, wow, it's so tranquil and nice. And adult swim, the only reason it exists, it's not for the actual. It's to give the lifeguards a break. Because if there's less people in the pool, then you only need one lifeguard up.

So it's a built-in break for all. Oh, that makes sense. So that's why they do it. I got it. Because they actually care about it. Listen, I'm on board now, but as a kid, I was like, fuck that. Oh, yeah. So, yeah.

So, like, I just remember being a kid and then, like, all me and Karen did is, like, we laid out and then we're like, all right, we're hot. We'll jump in for two seconds. The water was ice fucking cold. Sure. But you get used to it quick. Yeah. And then it was so rough like you didn't

even notice you were how far like the riptide would take you sideways you're going yeah i'm like what the fuck so what what happened to me the last time i was in ocean city um same thing where i was like all right i'm gonna get in the water yeah and i think i had like was this last year yeah and i think i had like two trulies in me and i was like, I'm going to get in the water. Yeah. And I think I had like two. Was this last year? Yeah. And I think I had like two Trulies in me. And I was like, fuck it. I want to get in. Yeah. And I got in and I was like, this is great.

Same thing. Like it was super cold, but I was like, I want to keep getting in. Right. I want to ride waves. And I had no idea how far like the current took me down. And then also it was like a little bit of rough, like a little rough. And I was riding waves. And there was one wave that just like stopped abruptly and just like, like it crashed but it wasn't like an even one so it just like crashed

really quick in a way so i was like i was like swimming with it and then it just like curled me up real quick and it just smashed my chest into the sand but like where all the rocks are and like i felt my my like feet like go like behind like they didn't touch my back but it was like that and like i had a big ass scratch on my chest and i was like man i'm probably drunker than i thought i was too and i'm like all right time to get out and then i got out and i was like i don't know where the fuck our umbrella is and i was walking back and my buddy christina who's from Kent Island. Also, the beach is packed at this point. And I'm like walking, looking for the tent.

And then my buddy Chris is with his fiance and her mom. And he was just like, Kaderna. And I was like, hey, Tina. Yeah. The same thing happened to me, dude. I was I was like four white claws in. I went and I kind of went kind of little for a little swim. Yeah, I'm a strong swimmer. And I was like four white claws in i went and uh i kind of went kind of little for a little swim because i'm a strong swimmer and i was like i'll swim a little bit i

want to swim out a little bit former lifeguard bro i fucking started getting dizzy out there i'm like i got a head i think i'm gonna puke so i come back to the shore and i'm like holy shit where the fuck am i but k Karen was like watching me the whole time. She was waving. And I was like, thank God. Somebody's like, there's your mom. You're like, all right, thank you. Oh, but we went in first grade.

It's also another thing. So like about like, yeah, I remember going to the beach as like it was our first. It was the first ever vacation as a family. I'm in first grade. And this is how trash my parents are is uh how do you think your parents heard about ocean city by the way just from neighbors like that you know and like people though they work with because my parents my parents think it's so weird because like my parents like if you're foreign yeah for the most part you're going to be basic because you will never be able to immerse yourself enough in the culture to understand that like Vegas and Ocean City in Florida are actually shitty places to vacation.

Or if you go to New York, you're not going to go to like 42nd Street. Exactly. Times Square, yeah. But my dad thinks it's insane. My mom's like, why don't we take a family trip to Florida? And do what, mom? Go to Disney World. You don't drink. We're not going to do amusement parks. You don't even like beaches. But in her head, she's like, well, I heard Miami.

I'm like, what are you going to do in Miami, mom? Are you going to fucking buy blow? Yeah. She's like, I want to get a white linen suit and snort coke. What the fuck going to do in Miami, mom? Are you going to fucking buy blow? Yeah. She's like, I want to get a white linen suit and snort coke. Yeah, what the fuck are you doing in Miami, mom? She's like, let's go to the club. Yeah. Yeah, no, I get it, though, because it's like, you know, it's the equivalent of being new in town.

And you're like, okay, what's cool in town? And they're like, oh, you got to go to Ocean City. And they're like, all right. And most of your coworkers, that's what they do. And so, like, my parents. Yeah, my coworkers, that's what they do. And so like my parents. Yeah, my parents. That is a flex if you're an immigrant. You're like, nah, what's the real shit though?

You're bullshit. My dad thinks I'm an idiot that me and Karen went to Puerto Rico and Mexico for our last two vacations. My dad's like, what are you? Why don't you go to Vegas? He's like, that's trash. He's like, how much did you spend? And I was like, well, first of all, it's so cheap. Yeah.

And second, it's the best food you'll ever have, the coolest experience. Oh, the food. Yeah. Dude, Mexico. The food in Mexico is unbelievable. Especially for the prices. The prices, dude. Wow.

The best tacos I've ever had in my life in quesadillas. Same. Are less than a dollar. Same. And you get three. Same. It's crazy. We were just on the sheet.

Yeah, with some rice and veggies on the side hole in the wall on a beach town in puerto escondido yeah it was late at night and we were just like hey listen we're drunk let's just get in dude it was the best same yeah we ended up we were in cancun and then we went to like a market and then walked around and then found this spot that was on a corner and i think yeah like the glass was broken but they had a grill outside and it smelled so good they had the chicken in there and then it was so funny so like yeah you know obviously we don't speak spanish because we're assholes but we're like yeah so how much for tacos and i think i swear to god i think she said something she's

like oh like 10 bucks or something like that we're like oh yeah done she's like no no like for the table we're like whoa okay insane you know something like that and then it was just so fucking taste like something where it's like if this existed in a hipster neighborhood you're making a million dollars a year and it's like it's so it makes me feel bad for my parents in a way because like yeah because you kind of just know what they're missing and you but they don't they don't know what they don't know they don't know what they didn't don't know they're still having fun but like so yeah i remember we're like on this like vacation in in first i'm in first grade and my parents to money, we did it the week after Labor Day. Yeah.

So I missed the first three days of first grade for this vacation. That's how trash my family is, dude. I'm also podcasting shirtless. So, you know, it's cool. I'm trash. It's all right. It's all right. We stayed in a shitty, like, I want to say it was even a motel, not even a hotel.

Yeah. And my whole family, we shared. Well, I think it's common if you're a young kid, you share the room with your family. Like, that's common. Oh, if you're young? Yeah. Especially when it comes to, like, money and stuff like that. Like, oh, yeah, we'll get two beds.

So, I remember we're on the beach, and, like, my mom, mom like does not wear, she's Muslim. So she doesn't wear, um, she was in like, uh, she's not rocking up. Yeah. She's just in like,

like stretchy, whatever, black pants and a t-shirt sitting on the beach. Yeah. My dad and my brother and me, like we're playing in the water. And, uh,

I guess like my brother was like, ah, I'm tired. I'm going to go to mom. So let me, my dad, her in the water. uh i guess like my brother was like i'm tired i'm gonna go to mom so let me my dad her in the water then we like maybe like 15 20 minutes later we go back and uh and we're like oh cool where's rahil my mom's like what i thought he's with you and we're like oh no he said he uh he said he was coming to go see you oh i guess the same thing happened and ryan's in second grade so he's like seven yeah six or seven yeah seven at the oldest probably so i guess we had wandered down or whatever and when ryan came out the beach he just kept walking and walking oh and he couldn't find mom oh my god so uh like dude my mom fucking like panic like this was our first day first day there

i think and my mom like we went like she thinks rye hill is dead in the water. She can't stop saying it. You get the cops. They're like, so where do you think he is? I think he's dead in the water. And it's just so funny because if you think about it, it's like a Pakistani family. He comes back wearing a shirt that says, I'm not gay, but $20 is $20. He's trying to assimilate to America.

And they're like yeah they're just like yeah it'll be a nice wholesome fit and then they're just like why the fuck do people do that because they're like oh our kid is dead yeah you know like and yeah why are we risking this yeah and then so i remember my we went to the lifeguard and they're like our son is missing so they like sent out some call i think like boats go out in the water i think uh some guy i remember some dad was there with his kid and he was helping so he goes out into the water and his son and me were told to sit right by the lifeguard stand and not move and he's like hey you want to build sand castles and i don't even know what that was i like could barely speak english i think i could speak english but it was like not well yeah and i was like all right i

guess i have a new brother now and uh sure new rahil yeah yeah i just kept going he's like what's rahil i'm like yeah it's fine rahileel number two? Yeah, just act black. Thanks, Heasy Bear. Yeah. Oh, God, I forgot about that. And, yeah, so me and this kid, we're just building a sandcastle, and he's telling me about, I remember that he's telling me about, like, what a moat is and all this shit.

And, like, he's like, yeah, we got to get wet sand, compact it, and blah, blah, blah. I love that you're learning. You're like, this is working out. Raheel doesn't know what any of this shit is. So my parents and lifeguards are looking for my brother, and he's dead. No. Yeah, RIP.

Yeah. And so they found him blocks and blocks and blocks away. He, I guess, wandered off. People saw him. He was crying. So they got him got him a lifeguard and then i was so jealous because i saw him my mom and a lifeguard coming back on a four-wheeler i was like fuck i want to ride that thing so bad so did you try to take off the other way like i'm also lost yeah oh dude could feeling? A four-wheeler on the beach?

Oh. Oh. Oh, yeah. Four-wheeler. Cooler. But, no. But, yeah. To be, for lack of a better term, but to be a fish out of water.

And then also being like, what the fuck is this? Yeah. Who do I reach out to? Crazy. So, what did he do? He just wandered down the beach? He just kept, he went out. Yeah. So what did he do? He just wandered down the beach? He just kept He went out Yeah, he got out of the water Didn't see my mom

And he just kept going like Down the shore Down the shore Like walking and walking Looking for my mom And then I guess he was like Someone saw a kid wandering alone And crying

And they like He's like he wasn't Jeffrey Epstein Yeah, seriously dude He's like whoops God, that would have been Dude, if he would have like Actually died Like I would probably Never go to Ocean City ever again, right? Oh, probably not.

Yeah, probably not. Probably not. And every time someone would mention it, I'd be like, God. Yeah. I think that's why you'd be a Rehoboth guy. Yeah. So close to Raheel, though. That's true.

All right, you're going to Dewey. Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. so close to right heel though like that's true all right you're going to dewey yeah yeah oh my god and then i remember we went to dinner that night and this is like i was trying to explain this to karen but i don't think your dad's like all right that was very scary but we're gonna collect as a family we're going to big peckers we're gonna have a good time no dude we went to like i guess i don't know if my dad like, because do you remember like, or no, we were too young for this, but there were people who would like plan vacations for you. You would go to a building.

Like a travel agent? Travel agent. I don't know if we did that, but I don't know how my dad found out. We went to like, we're in Ocean City. Yeah. And we went to like a fancy pants. Oh, can you make it into the shade you want to be in the shade uh yeah i'm i'm moving around i'm all right i think i can make it um sorry there's so

many ants on those cookies too oh shit oh shit are we still yeah okay we're in there we uh so we go to this fancy pants uh restaurant i just remember it was probably at that point in my life. I'm in first grade. I thought it was the fanciest restaurant I've ever been to. White tablecloths. I remember my dad is in... I think my dad wore slacks and a dress shirt. We were all dressed up. My dad ordered lobster. To think about a family now being in ocean city and going to like a restaurant that i don't even remember like i just remember you guys are

at a pizza hut he's like i'll take the lobster please yeah i just remember being in a restaurant it's like kind of dark like because they're trying to set like some ambience you like i just remember like we weren't on the water or anything but but, like, my dad ordering lobster, and I was just like, damn. Damn. Where the fuck are – and it's just like – but that's what's so funny. It's like, we're in Ocean City. Like, you don't need to order a fucking lobster and wear a dress shirt at a restaurant. It's just like, dad, we should just fucking you know went to like

pizza hut dumpsters or whatever so bullshit like i don't know you know like green turtle or mr ducks well yeah i think it's also the the immigrant thing too of like this is what you do yeah this is you know we've arrived yeah also yeah we're in ocean but it's great i feel bad shitting on it but it's like you know right the best they could but it's funny because he could say the same thing he's like we're in ocean city yeah exactly it's nice yeah and then my dad thinks maybe and he's right he just thinks like he thinks like i'm trying to be cool and different when i'm like oh i say i don't believe in like god or if like i'm like oh vegas is I'll probably never vacation in Vegas.

I love it. It's the same view. Like both. You're like, how pedestrian? Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Literally both. You're like, quit trying to fit in loser. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. You're not cool.

And yeah, this is what happens. It's like the friend version. It's the hanging out version of not wearing a condom. Yes. Like come inside. You're like, well, literally come. Yeah. Are you sure? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. That means you're letting other people. That means you're letting other people. Come on. That means you're letting other people. Come on. Yeah.

Because some of his roommate's friends used to play Frisbee and throw Frisbee. And we brought Frisbees. Ryle has roommates? Ryle has one room he had two roommates um because they both needed somewhere to live while they were gonna transition so they're becoming ladies yeah that's so one guy he's out now he was living in the basement and his buddy alan and they were both gonna move to chicago like three months ago oh but they both decided not to so they smart and my one friend yeah or his one roommate alan who great guy yeah he was just gonna he went through a breakup also he was

dating this girl forever and he just realized like it's not it and so he broke up with her he sold his house he owned a home in columbia he was renting i think or something he sold it and he's just kind of like like he was a landlord and then he sold it yeah and so he's just like uh so he was gonna live with rahil just for a little bit until he moves uh or figures out his next style as like a halfway house now essentially yeah so rahil hasn't been paying a mortgage yeah pretty much the whole time since he's on the house and he's been getting a paycheck yes a lot like a big paycheck oh yeah i think he's a supervisor now so he might be like a gs14 or 15 oh yeah he's like a team he's like a head a charge of a team and like oh team oh so yeah he's definitely like a gs14 for sure two or three

tests to get to his position nice good for him yeah he worked hard and but he said it's been awful quarantine or remote working because they have to have these insane meetings and he's on a project that is um super like uh just like involved in detail it's a very like um what it's like a high priority project he said so they were like whatever you guys need you get so like he was just like it's insane like what like he's like i just asked for like all this shit and they're like yeah you got it yeah it's like we just need this project done it's probably like it related yeah and so but he said now because of this he's been working so much longer because it like all this shit is slowing stuff down like it's hard to like he's he i don't know he was

just saying if we were all in one room together it would just be so much faster and smoother oh i believe that my job though like i'm drafting emails and shit yeah so part of my job is like to draft emails where it'd be like okay if this email had to come from you yeah but there's two people in between us so i'm like hey uh david here's an email from you to umar from umar to karen and then like i'm writing all the stuff for you so he hits he hits send you hit send and then that person hits that i had to do this twice last week where i teed up an email for a person who made a request for a budgetary item was also the same person that approves it as well.

So I'm like, hey, Denise, here's an email from you to you. And if you approve it, here's what the new allocation will be. Oh, my God. It's fucking insane. It's stupid. Anyway, so yeah, his roommate's friends were there. They were great. They seen me do comedy

a couple times, which is always nice. They are Marie Kondabolu fans. So it's also nice ruining stuff for people. You're like, oh, you like him, huh? Anyway, yeah, we just do it. It was so fun. We're just getting drunk in Wyman Parkdale. We're throwing a fucking

I don't think I enjoy I think there's very few things i enjoy more than just throwing a frisbee it's so fucking fun i forgot like how much me and you should tell your dad that he's like there we go now you're assimilating yeah dude and it brought me back to like college like dude we got me and my buddy alex got so into ultimate and frisbee because we were really good at throwing Frisbee. Yeah. And, dude, me and Alex, we should just stand a whole field across from each other and just lunge these Frisbees. Yeah.

So we did that. But then I got drunk, and then most of us went back to Rock Hill. I killed a man with a Frisbee anyway. It's been a hell of a time. And then most of us went back to Rock Hill's house because me and Karen were starving and they had a bunch of food left over. And then this morning I woke up and I was like, fuck, why did we go inside his house? It sucks. But what do you do?

Yeah, dude, I don't know. That's the hard part. It's like you get drunk and you're just like ah we're fine right like your other needs like i'm hungry i gotta pee they just and you're not oh the bathroom you're not in the right mind because you're drunk oh sure just like you're like come on ah fuck it let's i gotta pee i gotta eat let's do it yeah but also yeah you're doing we've been doing it for like four months and it's like i just you know want to hang out. And it's getting to me again where, like, I kind of pass, like, this wave of whatever, like, depression, anxiety. But now I'm just like, this fucking blows.

Yeah. Yeah, I've just been really, like, bouncing around a little bit. And then also, I'm like, I just want to fucking go home, dude. Yeah. So is all your, like, guitar, like, because around a little bit, and then also, I'm like, I just want to fucking go home, dude. Yeah. So, it was all your, like, guitar, like, because you took... I took my guitars with me, which is also, like, such a, like, dude move. Did you take both? I took my guitar and my bass and my pedal board and my laptop.

And so, yeah, I worked on some music at the Airbnb, which was fun. Yeah, and I had some Airbnb credits, which is cool. But, yeah. Oh, that's cool. And so, it's, like, yeah, the whole thing, like, I'm getting two Airbnbs, and I had some Airbnb credits, which is cool. But yeah. Oh, that's cool. So it's like, yeah, the whole thing. Like, I'm getting two Airbnbs, and it's costing me like $200, I think. It's not bad. So no, it's not bad at all.

But yeah, it's like, yeah, I'm just being a baby. I'm just like, I want to go home. Dude, you're going through a breakup, and you can't be at your house? Yeah, I'm staying at my dad's house. And like, it's great but he's just a dude that lives alone so he's like yeah i got a spare room but he doesn't have a spare bed he's like oh i have a futon in the basement and so like i'm sleeping on a futon mattress on the floor you know you should take that mattress upstairs to the bedroom no i did

but it's on the floor in the bedroom it's on the floor in the bedroom upstairs and like it's cool and all but yeah i'm trying to not be like a bitch about it be like it's all right floor in the bedroom upstairs and like it's cool and all but yeah i'm trying to not be like a bitch about it be like it's all right yeah no big deal i'm lucky i still have my job and then like i don't know it's better now than later yes what are you gonna do yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so yeah covid makes breaking up with someone so tricky because you're stuck you're stuck. You're living together and there's no way for there's nowhere for this person to go. Even without COVID, that sucks. But like now it's like, OK, well, like no one's going to be renting a place or it's going to be extra hard or. I think you can do it, though.

My friends just won't let me crash with them. I think there's places available. There are, for sure. And you're probably, honestly, the best time to lock down a lease for a year. Because it's going to be so cheap because people are trying to get a lease. Yeah. So, yeah. All that said, time stamp it.

Yeah. Yeah. Sucks, but good in the long run. There you go. All right. What are we, an hour? Yeah, let's go out on that. Yeah. Yeah. Sucks, but good in the long run, you know. There you go. All right. What are we, an hour? Yeah, let's go out on that. Yeah, we're fine.
