The boys are back! They talk about Taylers vacation, pee things, how often we'd visit Steve if he had amnesia, and Peter takes his pants off. Enjoy!

SPEAKER_04

One, two, three, two, three, two, four, five, six, seven, eight, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Wait, now there's an eight!

SPEAKER_05

You know, you know, it's more of a feeling. If you get bogged down on the thought of it, yeah, yeah. That's the problem.

SPEAKER_01

The second time you were feeling eight, the first time you weren't.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

You know, I think you actually said a lot about life in that sentence, but you were the most philosophical thing.

SPEAKER_03

I'm like, I think he just said my problem.

SPEAKER_05

Well, I'll look we'll do it again if and by not thinking about it is how we will there will be less mistakes, right? Uh three five seven nine eight six. So um we are back. Uh they don't know that, but we took a week off because uh good old Taylor Yarish was in the Poconos, Pennsylvania.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, a little family vacay that my uh grandma put together through. Oh, yeah. They died. What the hell?

SPEAKER_02

That's when you have a vacant, you know.

SPEAKER_05

I booked us a really beautiful week. Grandma's gone. Get the kids to get everybody together.

SPEAKER_02

We win like this.

SPEAKER_03

It didn't feel like through together, but it felt like died. It felt like died.

SPEAKER_01

I was trying to find a different word for like she paid for all that.

SPEAKER_02

Like she this hand gesture makes it seem like a much worse thing. If this is not died, this isn't died? My grandma.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_01

That no, no, I did more of like uh this, not like a yeah, yeah, okay. This is bad. Alright, so your grandma threw together paid for it.

SPEAKER_03

Your grandma paid for it?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Uh she paid for like the the rental of the two houses. Uh, and then we like everybody brought stuff and every family, each family cooked uh a different night.

SPEAKER_03

Did your grandma mention once during the trip that she paid for it?

SPEAKER_01

Uh yes and no. So the first night we got there was Sunday, and we did like a giant uh family dinner at the uh restaurant of this place. Yeah, she was like, This is the best you guys could do. No, we had our own private room, but like so there's there's probably like close to probably over 20 of us in this room at at least at one table, 20 people. Yeah, and any restaurant would do a prefix menu. If you're saying, hey, we have 20 people, they'd be like, All right, here's the thing, here's what you're gonna get. We're gonna make a specialized menu. Special? Yes, yeah, because like a wedding.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, yes, it's not like they go, Well, look at the menu.

SPEAKER_01

Because if you have the whole menu, everybody orders something different, it's a fucking nightmare. So they don't do that, and we can all just order off the menu. Appetizers, entree, it's all taken care of. All yeah, but we're so we're all ordering different shit. So naturally there's a wait because there's also still a whole other restaurant, right?

SPEAKER_05

Um wait, whole other restaurant.

SPEAKER_01

As in like this place at a restaurant, we were in our own private restaurants. We had our own room, we had like a board, it looked like a meeting type of place that they this is the only place.

SPEAKER_03

My family, we used to there was a restaurant, we would always have our own room at this restaurant. I know that's a good one.

SPEAKER_01

That's what it was. Also, so like the kids, you know, run around and shit. And uh so it took it took a while to get everybody's entree out at the same time. Yeah. And my grandma was not happy about it, and she uh no longer stops herself from saying anything that she she liked this and I liked it, but she was wrong. Oh in my opinion, she's wrong. She's like, Well, the service was terrible. I mean, these these people don't know what they're doing. They're still walking around like clearing blades, like they don't know what they're doing.

SPEAKER_05

And I'm like, Oh, so they could it was with an earshot.

SPEAKER_01

A hundred percent. Oh, that's a and I'm like, don't you think like they're working hard, like they have all no, and then she goes, I'm not gonna tip them well. And I go, Grandma, you can't do that. She goes, I gotta cut costs somewhere. You gotta make it back. That is a reference. And that's the only reference the whole weekend.

SPEAKER_05

In which case you go, all right.

SPEAKER_01

Well, all right, then you I was like, we can't do it there, right? We can't not tip these people.

SPEAKER_03

I picture like a server with a bunch of uh plates coming out and hearing they don't know what they're doing, and he just comes right back.

SPEAKER_05

All right, well uh this is your sweet little grandma from uh your special?

SPEAKER_01

Uh yes, the one the one who stood up uh oh that's right during my special and heckled Adam while he was hosting.

SPEAKER_05

Adam mentioned something about um old women. Old women and that being like a bad thing.

SPEAKER_01

Uh doing a show at an old folks home. Oh something they were saying, and and he referenced a woman that was 85. Oh, I'm 85. My grandmother stood up and said, I'm 85. I want to leave. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Well, yeah, well, uh I want to.

SPEAKER_01

That's what they say at the old folks home, too. I want to leave.

SPEAKER_05

I think she's like oh yeah, she did. She did say that. But that I she stood up first, and then Adam, I think, doubled down a little, something about like, oh yeah, but you know, they're they're really old and whatever.

SPEAKER_03

Did he say you don't look a day over something? He didn't say that. No. Oh man. He didn't say that uh day over 90.

SPEAKER_05

But then she's like, Yeah, I want to leave. But then she didn't actually leave. So I don't know if it was her being like it was a little funnier.

SPEAKER_01

I think that was her trying to do like trying to be funny or like I don't think she was actually serious a hundred percent. She definitely felt probably felt something, but she doesn't even know where she is. Like, I don't know why she probably should she know where she is, she's very with it. She listens to this, she thinks we're in the room.

SPEAKER_04

Damn, we're gonna leave.

SPEAKER_01

She knows she's with it and she knows what she's saying, but she just doesn't all the social finally decided to start listening to us.

SPEAKER_05

This yeah.

SPEAKER_03

He turned them on just now, I think.

SPEAKER_05

No, I adjusted them.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, okay. No, he was listening to music the whole time.

SPEAKER_01

He just lowered the volume. Yeah, this one might be interesting. He was getting a rock radio station.

SPEAKER_02

And uh it's my disability.

SPEAKER_01

He was uh she's just lost all the like social decorum of like, hey, you don't say that, or this is you don't care anymore. You don't stand up in the most important show of your grandson's career. Yeah, right. Did you talk to her about that? So far. No, no, yeah, so far. I hope. Uh I didn't because you know, I don't I don't want her to feel bad. She wasn't trying to do anything wrong, you know. And she didn't do it during my set, so right. That's true. Everyone else doesn't matter. Yeah. On that night, yeah. Yeah. That actually, yeah. If she did it during my set, depending on how it went, I'm wondering if I would have kept it.

SPEAKER_05

Let me let me let's do this, okay? Um, Steve is your grandma. I just you're just gonna be I'm a grandma. And I want you to just have a a real talk with it that you just want to bring up that that that happened.

SPEAKER_01

You want me to do it seriously?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, like seriously. Uh with care to not hurt her.

SPEAKER_01

I never would. Uh and if I did, I would do it jokingly.

SPEAKER_05

Ask something about the show, and that maybe prompts him to kind of bring that up.

SPEAKER_01

How far how long after the show is it right now?

SPEAKER_05

Um, this is the same night.

SPEAKER_01

The same night.

SPEAKER_03

People are still clearing out of the room?

SPEAKER_05

Clearing out of the room, you're talking, you know, and then yeah, and it gets to the point where that actually is a topic because she she she you bring it up not even thinking that was a thing. Okay. Yeah. Uh hey.

SPEAKER_01

That was you were up there. Good job. Yeah, and you were out there. Yeah. Oh. You were also saying some stuff I heard.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, you said uh the the first man was saying was saying something about old women, and I'm 85, and he was making fun of 85-year-olds, and I I thought I would help.

SPEAKER_01

I know, I heard it from the green room. You were pretty pretty vocal.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Would you would you think that what's the problem?

SPEAKER_02

And that's where you lost it. Did I do okay? You were good. But she wouldn't say what's the problem.

SPEAKER_01

She would have been every she would have recapped, oh yeah, and then he said this and I said this. The moment she thought that like I felt uh away about it, she would have been like horrified at the thought that she could have potentially ruined, you know, that so you would never hint that that I would know because I know that so she's finding out right now for the first time.

SPEAKER_03

Uh yes. Yeah, when you clip this and send it to her. I make your grandma uh Instagram. Somehow put it on her phone and then send it to her. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Well, the clip about your mother did well. The uh yeah. Yeah, the clip about about my mom.

SPEAKER_05

And that's it. Yeah. Your mom is all is great. Okay, all right. Just whatever. Well, since we're back here. Anyways. Uh so okay, family out. Uh you guys get uh splash around a little get in the water.

SPEAKER_01

We did, yeah. We splashed around. We were by uh by a lake, and they had all these kinds of like it's a very family place. It's not like a place you can't. That's what you do in Pocahontas. You splash around. Yeah, yeah. Splash around. There was uh uh kayaks and uh paddle boards and uh those little things you sit in in the water and you paddle. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, love boats. Are they called love boats or uh duckboats?

SPEAKER_01

I think duckboats duckboats out there. I didn't do it, but other people were doing that. I got yelled at by the uh lifeguard? Yeah, because I uh I took um we took like the two-seater kayak and we went out to like the middle of the lake. And then you were in life, huh? Yeah, yeah, my grandma. And then Jess and I uh did it, and we were life vests, so I thought like, oh, we're good. And I got off the kayak and started to swim. Oh, that should be funny. In the lake. Yeah, like I was swimming, and then a few minutes later I get back, and then there's a boat coming, and I didn't even think, and I'm like, hey, what's up? And I'm like, oh, they're getting close. And then they were like, hey, I know it's hot out, but could you stay inside the That's silly?

SPEAKER_02

And Jess goes, Ooh, you got in trouble while they're still there.

SPEAKER_03

That did they laugh? Yeah. Okay, that's great. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Is this the Delaware gap? The because that I know that connects to it. Uh oh. I was sitting in it and it was um, I remember being there and the water was a little brown. You know?

SPEAKER_01

Um, this was uh pristine. This is yeah, this is a pretty fresh water, cleared like pristine. I guess.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, pristine. I've been in it. I went me and my buddies went in a some like like a lazy river kind of thing. Um that was quite brown. And someone had just died there earlier. So earlier in the day. Someone went in the water and yeah, uh died. And then they shut off the real fun part of the route because of him. And I remember being uh being like, oh, that sucks. Yeah. For me.

SPEAKER_01

Because it was dangerous they shut it down, or because they he was I think they were still looking for the I don't know.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, they didn't find him? It was a whole thing. I don't remember. But I know it was um it was not good for uh him and his family. Him and his family, and how much fun I could have had. It was a combination of the two things.

SPEAKER_01

Just waiting to go in there. They're like, where is he?

SPEAKER_03

I remember going tubing down a river with some people, and uh there was uh like big rapids coming up, and uh I've I think I was the most comfortable in the water of anyone there. Everyone else was you know sticking to their tube. I would like get out of my tube, swim a little bit, catch up with the tube, get back. And uh I saw the rapids coming up, and I think I even got out of my tube and had my girlfriend at the time get out of the tube. I was like, because this is gonna toss us around. And I said it to uh someone uh in the group, there was a little bit of a know it all. I go, Hey, the those rapids are gonna be rough. And she went, I'll be fine. And then the rapid threw her through like like we're you know, like threw her off the not like across yeah, but like off the tube, legs in the air. Whoa, it's like that, yeah, a little bit, and then she like popped up, and I remember being like, That's the best feeling I I could have felt.

SPEAKER_01

You felt more comfortable being out of the tube.

SPEAKER_03

I think so in the tube. Yeah, because I'm like it's uh I think I got out of the tube. All I remember was being like prepared for it and not being thrown around.

SPEAKER_01

And sometimes the rap, like you kind of my fear is always you kind of get like sucked down into it and there's like just a rock that's like.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I don't remember what I did as much as watching them do watching her get rushed. Yeah, yeah. It was and it's I hope that's the last memory I lose.

SPEAKER_05

If you had Alzheimer's, would you want us to what would you want us to do?

SPEAKER_03

I would want you to visit and uh if you didn't know who we were. Yeah. And uh I would any bits you did, I would want you to uh film them so I got to watch them over and over.

SPEAKER_05

Maybe the first time every time you laugh every time.

SPEAKER_01

Would you do the bit from Dumb and Dumber 2 where he's pretends to have 20 years to have also he's in a chair like he can't move, and then he's like, I gotta I I can't keep coming here every week. Like you don't even know who I am, and then he just he stands up, he's like, Gotcha!

SPEAKER_03

You've been pretending for 20 years, and then his leg his legs give out because he's been sitting in the chair for a long time.

SPEAKER_05

Um Yeah, if uh I guess that'd be if you didn't rec remember, and then we could try the bit we're working on the first time didn't work, and then the next time you can try it with different adjustments and see how much until if if you knew I was losing my memory, would you skip some visits? That's hilarious. I would be like, what are you talking about? I've been here 500 times.

SPEAKER_03

I feel like you're the one that would skip some visits.

SPEAKER_05

And then I would have to see how much you're remembering these visits. You'd have to test it first. Uh yeah. I don't know how. What do you mean? What do you what's in your mind?

SPEAKER_01

Well, like you kind of do little you do something like he does something to me to see if I remember it like that. Yeah, you do something one week and then the next week you reference it. Uh-huh. And do they does he remember it or not?

SPEAKER_05

Right. Okay, I get it. Right. Do you remember?

SPEAKER_01

And then maybe you switch it up like you do something last week, and then you say that was two weeks ago. Does he correct you on it? Oh, okay. I'm really trying to gaslight him almost.

SPEAKER_05

Well, I think I go like this. I go, uh, wasn't it cool last week when I came? And you go, um, I don't remember you coming. Then I'll probably be like in my head, on a functional level, what's why am I what are you getting? You know what I mean? Just seriously.

SPEAKER_03

If you I've tied my ropes to you to for life, and I'm finding this out.

SPEAKER_05

He might do different things.

SPEAKER_03

I know he'll do different things.

SPEAKER_05

But me, look. You don't remember. What am I gonna do? That's the whole point of this thing.

SPEAKER_01

And alright, now I'm dead. What you're saying is if he doesn't I don't I'm not going because I want to see you.

SPEAKER_05

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01

Right? Because like even if he doesn't remember, you remember seeing him. That's yes. But if he doesn't remember, is it not an equal it's not an equal shared memory, so yours not worth it to you.

SPEAKER_05

I mean, I have all the all to lose. I have to see you deterior deteriorate. Sounds like I'm gonna be visiting you. And then I have to kind of watch that. That's hurt, that hurts me, right? Sure. So why make me go through more hurt every time? I can minimize it. You should suffer alone. Show up. Yeah. But suffering is even is even uh subjective on that point, right? Sure. Suffering, you're not every day of Alzheimer's, it's not you going, ah, ah, I'm forgetting.

SPEAKER_02

Ah like it hurts. I'm forgetting.

SPEAKER_01

Ah it hurts. Yeah, like they uh extract each memory out of your head.

SPEAKER_04

Ah, ah, fuh.

SPEAKER_03

But you would remember at my funeral, like, all right, we're at my funeral, right? Yeah. And uh uh I'm someone you're like standing near the the casket, because I don't have much uh many people in my life, so for some reason you two are near it. Uh uh you're in the assembly line of uh handshakes. Uh-huh. And uh uh, so we'll do the scene. Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. So we're at the line.

SPEAKER_03

We're at my funeral.

SPEAKER_05

Funeral, you're in the casket. My body I'm somebody else. You're somebody else. Okay. But my body's here. Your body's here, and we're at the line. Oh, me and him are of the people where people come up and shake our hands. Yes. Where they go, um, I'm so sorry for you. Okay. I'm so sorry for it. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, fan.

SPEAKER_01

Love your stuff.

SPEAKER_02

You guys looking for another co-host?

SPEAKER_05

I haven't done I've done one American funeral, and even then it was like Oh, you know, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_03

I didn't think about that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, so going up. Uh okay, so you'll, I think we'll I'll figure it out as we go along.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, and you're here, you're there too. Okay. Okay. Uh, all right. Hi. Hey. Peter, right? Yes. Taylor? Yeah. Okay, yeah. Uh he talked about you guys all the time.

SPEAKER_05

Uh yeah, very uh he was a very I mean he had a lot of love in his heart, but very good guy.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I'm so sorry for your your losses. Thanks. Thank you. Yep. Yeah. I uh I I I visited him a few times uh near the end and and ran into you a couple of times. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I caught you I caught you in there, yeah. And uh you would go a lot as well?

SPEAKER_05

Uh well I went, but maybe not as much as you did. Because uh, you know, subjective I mean look, all the timers you don't even really remember, so you don't know. You know what I mean? But um But some of them, thank you so much for coming.

SPEAKER_03

I know. Okay, thank you. Thanks for coming. Uh hey, I'm yeah, I'm not with that, but yeah, I knew. Uh do you think don't you think he kind of was in there still? Yes, I'll take it. Thank you.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, thanks. He said take it on him. That's um good, thanks.

SPEAKER_03

Uh yes. It's a shame that these hors d'oeuvres are unforgettable. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Uh so well, you seem to have some connection with him right now and I was his mailman. Uh look, man, I'll say, you know, out of the scene. You know, I uh I don't know, man. I think the way I view what is considered a gesture and a f you know, all all these things are meaningful to somebody. I think you wouldn't would you have regrets? Regrets like that? I don't think so. I think I think I I I put I put my value of connection with somebody. But you know the thing about um what's the love languages and stuff, right? I think quality time doesn't rank that high for me, right? I like I think the acts of service is high. It's like okay, if I'm doing an act of service for someone, I do feel closer to them, right?

SPEAKER_01

You think you do something for them, not the other way around.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah. Versus them doing something for me. Yeah, if someone does something for me, doesn't feel uh the same.

SPEAKER_03

Right. So doing something for them regardless of like what it makes you feel, but doing it for them, that's your act of life.

SPEAKER_05

Yes, and if I'm doing stuff for you, and then uh next week we've erased a hard drive, then what are we doing?

SPEAKER_03

You know, but I'm st but that's visiting me.

SPEAKER_01

He's saying an act of sir that is an act of service because he's not able to go out. And and have connection with people, so you coming to see him is that is the act of service.

SPEAKER_03

What if there's a whiteboard in my room, right? Yeah, yeah. And it says Peter visits, and every time you come in, you get to make a towel. Would then you still visit me?

SPEAKER_05

You think it's a competition?

SPEAKER_03

No, that way I see it.

SPEAKER_05

That would make it more interesting.

SPEAKER_03

That way I can see it. Oh. And go. Then I might just go up and go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I as soon as you said that, I'm like, I know exactly what he's gonna do.

SPEAKER_05

No, I mean look, you tell me this, okay? You put yourself, and it's hard to put yourself in the shoes like this. You um super Alzheimer's, it's been whatever. Bang. Guinness is visiting me. Yeah. For a year, you've been having it, you don't remember anything past a day or whatever, right? Well, what is what is it from your end? Like, what is the thought? Because in your head, you don't even know the situation.

SPEAKER_03

But you know who that is.

SPEAKER_05

You know who that is. What do you mean?

SPEAKER_03

I know you when you walk in the door.

SPEAKER_05

Yes. We're like, oh hey.

SPEAKER_03

And that would make me very happy.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. That's great. And I'll do that.

SPEAKER_03

Once in a while.

SPEAKER_01

But I'm a busy guy.

SPEAKER_05

What is the frequency that's appropriate?

SPEAKER_03

Well, there that's uh subjective for sure. I would say if if you're, you know, bing bang boomed. Uh I'd visit at least once a week.

SPEAKER_05

Whoa. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Wow. I think it'd be more.

SPEAKER_05

What about like a bing bang?

SPEAKER_01

30 minutes outside the city.

SPEAKER_03

Once a week. Then it's definitely once a week. But yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, interesting.

SPEAKER_05

So it's when convenient to you. You'll do it once a week. No, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_03

We've already proven.

SPEAKER_01

I wouldn't it because I'll wait.

SPEAKER_03

Do I have a car? I'll visit you.

SPEAKER_01

Do I have a car? It's uh I mean I don't right now you don't.

SPEAKER_03

But it's 30 minutes outside of the city and I have my bike.

SPEAKER_01

It's a 30-minute drive.

SPEAKER_03

30-minute drive. Pretty quick. Alright, so it's 40 minutes bike, 50-minute bike.

SPEAKER_04

How fast do you think your bike? What? What are you talking about? 30-minute drive.

SPEAKER_01

I'm not talking about 30 minutes of traffic. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

It's not like which, by the way, this uh reminds me, because uh me and Steve, uh, you know, we've been looking at co-working spaces, whatever, getting out, doing our thing. So we went to um uh the place in Greenpoint, Bond Collective. I mean, the place is immaculate. It's it's like uh if if if you were like uh like Lex Luther and you wanted a place to rest and do work, yeah, you'd go there. It's like very nice. Yeah, big windows, beautiful couches, all this stuff.

SPEAKER_03

He's planning his plots from the but he's got a schedule his time in the conference room.

SPEAKER_02

Lex Luther's waiting for a space. Yeah. Where the where the hell's cheetah and joker? We have the slot for 30 more minutes.

SPEAKER_03

The guys from Uber are running long. We'll have it for you in just a sec. Uh Black Manta called. Uh, I guess he's uh he's running late. Um that was a lot of uh really good villain polls on my end.

SPEAKER_05

Anyways, so nice offices, great, beautiful, all that stuff. We get to the end of the tour. It's like very nice dude showing us all around. Going, oh yeah, you know, there's a nice shower here, and here you can rest, have a beer, all this stuff. Cool. And I'm before we even finish the tour, I'm like, and how much do you think this like office is like? You know, we'll talk numbers when we get to the uh end of the thing. I'll show you. And so we get to the uh end of it, and uh, you know, so okay, so here are the numbers, okay? Um if you do it uh uh for a six-month thing, uh we're looking at uh 1560, right? But if you do a year, then we're looking at uh 1440, you know? And then I go, oh that's interesting, because uh on the website I saw it say um 585 a month, right? And then he shows me it says it says from 585 a month. You know, it depends. Yeah, a single person office you may have that, but yeah, we'll go there. And so uh so then we're like okay, well let's think about it. So we basically we just like well let's talk about it. And uh we sit down. Steve's like, I really like this place, and we should really try to see what we can do. We should make it work. Yeah, and I'm like, okay, but this is 14 something, that's a lot. He's like $500 a month. Yeah, he's like, Yeah, but look, we can think work it. Maybe they said they're open to negotiating, we can kind of work it there, and so let's break it down. And he goes, $1,400 divided by uh 12, uh, and then gets a number, and then going, well, it'll only be this much a month, and I'll even cover it for you if I do one of my gigs. That's enough to cover for the year. And I go, Oh, you think that's $1,400 for the year?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I was way off. And and he's like, on his side of the table, he's like impressed with how confident I'm being like we're gonna make this happen.

SPEAKER_05

At first, I was I had walked in going trying to sell you guys on this place, and then once we heard the total, uh, he was calling me suddenly have a flip and thing where I don't know, that's kind of yeah. The number where I even pitched earlier was way higher than what he thought he heard. So suddenly I'm out and he must be like, What's going on? And then he did the math for how much it is a month looked and he went yeah, all right. They were saying uh how much you think you can negotiate them down to you think you can get them down to like 500 a month from 1400? I'm like, yeah, your conversation, uh every sentence is gonna start with the word look.

SPEAKER_03

And I go, eventu once in a while I might say listen. Luck.

SPEAKER_01

Luck. Yeah. Luck. Yeah. Uh that's I I'd still like to do a day it sounds like a a lovely place, but it's hard to I mean, that's a lot. That's a lot of money. Yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I mean, it was already gonna be uh a bit of convincing at the at the delusional price that I thought it was.

SPEAKER_01

Well, where what kind of like was it like young co-working people?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, there was uh booths for phone calls and uh like little couches where like just soundproof booths. The massive place.

SPEAKER_05

Huge space, huge space, and uh 24-7 access. Like all, you know, your your your your dreams run wild as you're walking.

SPEAKER_03

The problem I think I even said this when I was with him. I was like, it's the perfect place for the amount of work we want to get done, but we have to do way more work to afford the place to get work done.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I mean, all the work we're doing, we've gotten zero dollars from this. We gotta at least make some dollars before we're gonna get it. Yeah, we're not making any dollars.

SPEAKER_01

The moment you start to make more I'm asking for dollars. Yeah, the moment you start to make more money, you shouldn't be like, well, now let's raise our expenses by everything we just made and more. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

So uh that was uh that was a little uh thing that that we that happened.

SPEAKER_03

Uh it had a bike room.

SPEAKER_05

A little bike room you can hang your bike up.

SPEAKER_01

You don't need that. You don't need a bike room.

SPEAKER_05

So you go, which I got your helmet. Um because he left his helmet there. Uh I think it's he really loved the bike room.

SPEAKER_01

It's a thing that you if they didn't have it, you would have never been like, it would be nice though if they had a bike. Like But they had it. Right, but I'm saying they I didn't come in and go, where's the bike room? They had it and you're paying for it. Like you they have you they have beer. How often are how often do you normally crack a beer in the middle of the day? Like there's my parents listen, I can't. If there is a if if I was paying $500 a month to go to a place, I would want it to have the co-working space. It would have to have a gym and showers. Uh it would have to have you want a home. If I'm sp if because if I'm spending that much money, I'm incentivized to spend time there. Pretty much all day, every day there. So yeah, I need a s it's a second home. That's what we're paying for.

SPEAKER_05

Well, 500's yeah, not even happening, right? What about 200? If it was like 200 a month. Should we done it?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. No shower. 200 a month, no shower, it's just it's a gym and a desk.

SPEAKER_03

No, there's not even a gym.

SPEAKER_01

If there was a gym and the rest of it, then I would do it. Yeah. Um well, that's not happening. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Well, let's spin the wheel. Spin it. Why don't you uh hit that? It's me? I don't know. Go ahead. Spinning the wheel. It's going to round. And we are going to do pants off. Okay, so five minutes uh pants off. Wait, let's wait.

SPEAKER_04

Wait, what?

SPEAKER_02

That's what it says.

SPEAKER_03

Uh Peter. Peter, we can't do this one. We can't do this one.

SPEAKER_05

Are you guys not wearing underwear?

SPEAKER_03

I'm wearing underwear, but I can't be doing this.

SPEAKER_05

Really? Is that that bad?

SPEAKER_01

I did not know that was on the wheel.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, yeah. Well, that's the point of it. I can't have you prepared. I'll do shirt off for 10. I can't do pants off. You guys can bargain, okay? You can shirt off for the rest of the show or pants off for five minutes.

SPEAKER_03

I don't like no, I can't do pants off. There's another option. I'm wearing boxer briefs. You see everything.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, is that oh, so right now we're worried about the print of our penis. I'm worried about the. Is that true? Is that it?

SPEAKER_03

I'm definitely worried about the bulging area and all that.

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Am I allowed to block the area, but you see everything?

SPEAKER_01

I think it becomes I think it becomes too much of a distraction. It's like doing the it's like doing the naked show. You know, it's like really not about the stand-up and I've kept the mystery around of what's going on down there alive for as long as I have.

SPEAKER_05

Well, here. Here's a set here's a third option. And that's it.

SPEAKER_03

That's all you get.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. You could you can put your socks on your hands for five minutes.

SPEAKER_01

I'm doing that. Socks on my hands for five minutes? Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Start the clock. You're taking your pants off.

SPEAKER_05

Oh fucking, yeah. I'm not a live by what it is. I gotta worry about more.

SPEAKER_02

Alright. I don't work right. That's what I have on. I can't.

SPEAKER_01

This is really gross. Alright.

SPEAKER_05

I guess I yeah, all right.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, yeah, you can cover.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, there's a little bit. I guess because you guys are worried about what it looks like on screen.

SPEAKER_01

Or like it's distracting. Yeah, let's test that camera's 10 pounds myth.

SPEAKER_05

It looks girdier. So this morning, um what happened?

SPEAKER_03

If I know you, I'm gonna enjoy the next five minutes.

SPEAKER_05

So yesterday I got home and uh it was uh like 11 or so, whatever. Very tired. I only had like three hours of sleep. So then I I um I usually my routine is I use the bathroom before I go to bed. Okay. What?

SPEAKER_02

Keep going.

SPEAKER_03

Why are you laughing? I'm excited. I'm always excited when you're you know what you have coming, and I'm excited.

SPEAKER_05

Well, relax. So I don't know, right? So uh my roommate was in the bathroom, so then I was like, all right, I'll go, I'll go to bed.

SPEAKER_03

Um wake up to go to the bathroom.

SPEAKER_05

Uh no, I'm gonna I'll yank it and then afterwards time will have gone by and then my roommate should be done.

SPEAKER_01

You can do that when you have to like pee?

SPEAKER_05

Yes. I could do that anytime. I could do that anytime.

SPEAKER_03

You're at a job intervention.

SPEAKER_05

And that is one of my special strengths. Yeah, I've never had a I remember one time I was sharing a bed with my mom and I pulled it off. So I finish, um, and I fall asleep. Right? Then I wake up, uh, it's now 8 a.m. I open the door and uh there's someone in the bathroom. So I haven't peed. Uh it almost from my perspective perspective looks like my roommate's been in the bathroom the entire night. So they're in there, and then uh I have to go. Yeah. So then I grab um my Yeti bottle and I uh fill fill the bad boy up. And then that runs out of space.

SPEAKER_01

Do you have a disposable or anything?

SPEAKER_05

Or uh I have water bottles, but I can't. This is um it's too small of a entry for me to have uh room forever.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I see.

SPEAKER_05

So um fill the yeti bottle up. That filled up, which I thought I thought how many ounces is that? I think it might be uh 20, which is not that much. I th I mean that's a lot.

SPEAKER_01

I thought it was 20 ounces is a good amount, right?

SPEAKER_05

That would fill this and then a little bit more. Oh, okay. But then I needed to grab another bottle, which was a half. I grabbed a half, and then I filled that one up, and then it I was done. And then um then I just had two open container of urines in my I've been there bathroom. I mean my bedroom while waiting for my roommate.

SPEAKER_03

Uh I have to go to the bathroom right now.

SPEAKER_05

You have diarrhea?

SPEAKER_03

Ever since this uh outbreak's gone on, I've been having some issues.

SPEAKER_05

Oh no. Oh yeah, go go for the bathroom.

SPEAKER_03

All right.

SPEAKER_01

I'm really sorry. You gotta keep the socks on. I'll keep the socks on. You gotta keep the socks on.

SPEAKER_05

So we'll we'll we'll run the show and keep going?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, so uh Scott's like, why are you barefoot?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So you you pee into the water bottles. You scratch yourself while I would so you pee into the water bottles and then they chill there, and you have to now wait till your roommate gets out, and then you have to make sure the coast is clear to then transfer the water bottles to sound like someone who's been through this thing.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Because you can't walk out with two flowing.

SPEAKER_01

You gotta have you gotta make sure the coast is clear, and then still have a story just in case.

SPEAKER_05

What's your story? Yeah, I passed it.

SPEAKER_01

You uh well, luckily mine is uh it's not usually like a dark, dark color. Yeah. It it looks it looks like something, and I'm also a guy who's uh I have a lot there's a lot of powders and shit in my home. Yeah. So I could probably play it off as like an electrolyte thing or something.

SPEAKER_05

I just can't finish.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's just it's just too much. It it I didn't like this flavor. I'm gonna dump out a full water bottle.

SPEAKER_02

It's in the toilet.

SPEAKER_01

It was too much lemon in the lemon lime. So I'm dumping it out.

SPEAKER_05

Because you don't dump it in the sink. You dump it in the toilet. Right? Yeah, but then you wash it in the sink.

SPEAKER_01

Well, well, I have uh I haven't used like a reusable cup before. It's always something I can throw out. But do you have the fear you're pouring it in this into the toilet, but you're like, do I have to pour this at a similar rate that I would be peeing it? Like, like the sound that it makes, if you're just dumping liquid into the toilet, it's pretty clear. It's a pretty clear sound.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, versus a slow.

SPEAKER_01

You would like a s yeah, slow.

SPEAKER_05

Well, I didn't have to I did think about it. Um yeah, I did think about it. First I thought about uh room if the roommate walked out and heard me heard that sound from my bedroom because there's a sound of uh urine hitting a uh metallic interior that's very tinny. Yeah. And um but I had I had my AC running, so I think that blocks all the way.

SPEAKER_01

And you went into the furthest corner of your room away from the door that enters the rest of the apartment.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I picked the furthest part of my 8x10 jail cell to minimize the noise.

SPEAKER_01

And you're being next to a running AC unit into your own Yeti trying to be quiet, and you're like, what the fuck is my life? What I am 34 years old. 35. 35 years old.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, that was a rough one. I didn't uh reflect until now. So um, yeah, I I uh did that. And then when I went to the bathroom, I did just pour it because my roommate had already, you know, gone. But I was still nervous about transferring two cups from the bathroom to the sink and then um having to wash it there, which you know it's weird because I think I think you could probably get away with just rinsing a cup of urine and then drinking out of it afterwards. You could probably get away with that, yeah. But uh still there's a mental thing about the fact that you just did that into something you drink out of. So then I put a lot of soap in there.

SPEAKER_01

I know, and but then you almost have that with the soap, because those are hard to really clean at the bottom. If you pour like Dawn dish soap in there, you're like, is all the soap out? Yeah, it's like what do I want to drink more or less? You know, so soap soap, certainly.

SPEAKER_05

Because I've tasted my urine. And I was in high school and uh where are we at, by the way?

SPEAKER_03

Well you got in 20 seconds? Minute.

SPEAKER_05

No, no, no, it's five minutes.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, for oh for these? Yeah. Yeah, it's five.

SPEAKER_05

Um yeah, in high school, my friend I always I thought I had diabetes, and my friend was like, you know, I heard a good test for diabetes is if you taste your urine and it tastes sweet, then you have diabetes. Yeah. So obviously, went to the bathroom, uh, peed, and then while the stream was going, I licked the stream, and it was disgusting. What? It was absolutely arcs. So then I went like that. Like a water fountain. And it's probably one of the worst things I've ever tasted. Ever. Incredibly bitter, strong on ammonia, not sweet. So I don't even know if that's a real test.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, it's not. When you go to the doctor, they're not like, all right, so here's the form you want to get.

SPEAKER_03

When you're leaning over the doctor goes, I'm gonna do a urine sample, and you're like, I've already taken care of that. We can skip that.

SPEAKER_01

No, no, no. It's my turn.

SPEAKER_05

So, um that's all.

SPEAKER_01

Uh no, yeah, I've never done that on purpose.

SPEAKER_05

Ever done urine stuff in a bedroom?

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_01

Uh no. Uh what was that hesitation? That hesitation was uh one time there was an accident, but I've talked about it on uh on uh it was somebody else's podcast.

SPEAKER_03

But um Oh, then that doesn't matter here, I guess.

SPEAKER_01

No, I was I'm just realizing that now. I had an image of myself saying it on a podcast. I thought it was this show. It wasn't. I uh it was Tell us about it. Uh sleeping with Don't be silly. I was sleeping with a lady and I thought I'm a little uncomfortable with this. So uh I was sleeping I was sleeping with a with a lady and uh I had mistaken the feeling for uh finishing with the mis with the feeling for peeing. I thought I was about to come and I pulled out and then just peed.

SPEAKER_05

Wow.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Uh dark color or was it it was it was darker there.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know. Okay. Uh dark color. But I I very quickly how nasty it is. I very quickly cramped it clamped down. The moment it came out, I was like, whoa, and she's like, What's going on? There was a moment where we both stopped and we were like, was that I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, so she knew you did that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I think yeah. Okay. She could see what was happening. It's never arced like that ever. True.

SPEAKER_05

And the viscosity's different. Kind of goes like it's like water on a windshield speed. Versus usually it's supposed to be like an egg down the side of a house. Right? Alright, I'm gonna put my pants on. Alright.

SPEAKER_01

Oh man. I think I gotta wash my hands. Um I'll say this though. And I I didn't I didn't say this on here uh right after it happened because I was still I was pretty um embarrassed about it. But not too long ago I uh I peed the bed overnight. What? I I it was when uh it was like a few days after we got back from London. And I think my body was like on a different time zone, or just like exhausted. It was it's time to pee in London. I don't know, my this is why I didn't. I so yeah, like I woke up that one crushed over there. I woke up in the morning. I don't know if that was it though. That's the only thing I could think. It makes sense. Uh I mean uh according to Chat GPT, it doesn't. It doesn't make sense.

SPEAKER_05

Don't worry, it didn't make sense. Yeah, it does. I was crying. No, I'm not trying to get on the horse with it.

SPEAKER_01

I'm not saying that's what it was, but that's when it happened. It was a few days after London. I was uh very tired, and sometimes like extreme exhaustion can fuck with it. Apparently, that's what the internet said, but it was still very concerning. I woke up and scary and uh Jess had been like cuddling me and her pants were like she goes, she was like, Why am I why am I like all wet right now?

SPEAKER_03

Oh man. And I was like, what?

SPEAKER_01

You must have peed the bed. I was like, what? And and at first I was like, I I couldn't tell if she was being like, uh oh, what happened? Because pretty quickly I was like, no, no, no, no, no. Wow. And the evidence was clear that it came from. It was I'm sitting in like a big yeah, it tasted horrible. And uh you don't have diabetes. Yeah, the rest of that day and and that morning, I was like pretty, pretty bummed out. And she was trying to like make light and and that's a good partner. Do all that. That's hard. That's a hard job. It's okay, you know, and all that stuff.

SPEAKER_05

And I'm like Because you were bummed out because you is it a symptom of something serious, right?

SPEAKER_01

Is it a symptom of something serious? And like it's just it's a yeah, it's just like an embarrassing thing of like, oh my body just didn't work.

SPEAKER_05

Continence is what they call it. Really? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I thought that was uh something else.

SPEAKER_05

Cool look at that. Let's go, let's see, let's find out.

SPEAKER_03

But he was dealing it with it in one continent. And then yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I thought I was in the continent Europe. Where I'm supposed to be.

SPEAKER_01

He was doing it in continents, in two in two of them. In two different continents, he was peeing.

SPEAKER_05

So you have the outbreak thing. I think so. How bad has it been explosive, like they say?

SPEAKER_01

Uh I wait, I didn't really catch that. You got the bug? I think he just went to the bath in the I thought that was a pee. I thought you were peeing.

SPEAKER_05

No, he dropped a hundred pieces in there. That's what he was doing.

SPEAKER_01

Did you eat Taco Bell?

SPEAKER_05

Is Taco Bell the cause of it? It's anywhere where there's lettuce, right?

SPEAKER_01

Taco Bell recalled that, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I haven't had Taco Bell. You probably a Chipotle, you're a Chipotle guy, right? Uh no, I haven't had Chipotle. Oh. But I was having uh fruit at in the green room at with Tom and uh he goes, careful. And uh I was like, this isn't part of it. And then uh what'd you what fruit? Raspberries. Which makes sense because when I've been going to the bath, they would spend like man, the way your face lit up before you said that.

SPEAKER_05

You know, careful with berries. It might not even just be the um that outbreak. When I was with my ex, she uh brought raspberries to uh the beach. I ate them, and then immediately I had to go.

SPEAKER_01

Not immediately, but that night fairies can sometimes run, make everything run.

SPEAKER_05

That's because she doesn't wash the fucking fruit before eating it.

SPEAKER_02

Uh I remember this. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I remember this. But I mean, do you what like because when I could say wash fruit, I I run it underwater. Yes, washing it.

SPEAKER_05

And that does a lot. Really? That gets rid of well, at the very least, texture-wise dirt and whatever kind of stuff. But at least is it gonna make it a hundred percent pristine? No, but you I yeah, to me I think it's a difference between diarrhea and not diarrhea sometimes. Yes, I think so too.

SPEAKER_01

At least that day. I could see maybe like you have like some sort of vinegary sort of substance. Or like some but just running it underwater that doesn't like decontaminate. Like if you're handling raw chicken, you can't just run your hands underwater and it's no, no, but I think it's just removing it's better than nothing, I'll give you that. Yeah, uh but yeah. If you told me like, hey, that's part of if those berries are no bueno, they got the stuff on them. I wouldn't be I wouldn't feel comfortable just running them underwater.

SPEAKER_05

Well, that bacteria has is known specifically for being hard to wash off.

SPEAKER_03

Well, I was talking to him eating them while him saying Go on, what are you talking about? Yeah, I'm like, I don't think it's berries. And then how quickly after? Not that day, but since. Uh every day? Uh I don't know. Not every day. I think I've see, I think I've had something, but it also just could be something totally different.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. Have they been messy episodes?

SPEAKER_03

Yes.

SPEAKER_05

The type where it gets you're doing your best and I appreciate it. The type where on your cheeks you have some smears.

SPEAKER_01

Like if you were leaving the beach and getting in your buddy's car, would you turn back around or before?

SPEAKER_03

I wouldn't say I look like uh I wouldn't say that it looks like a kid that like is eating in the high chair. Okay. But uh I think I think uh someone would go to my ass and go, you got a little something right there, like maybe that. Little schmutz. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they'd be oh, you got it, you got it.

SPEAKER_05

Uh well, I'm sorry you're going through that.

SPEAKER_03

No, you're not.

SPEAKER_05

For that I'll visit you once a week.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he's back twice a week. Hey, how's it going?

SPEAKER_05

I brought some fruit. He'll have no trouble remembering me.

SPEAKER_03

Why are your shoes so off? It's just a lot to put them back on.

SPEAKER_05

Well, Converse is, you know. You know, you know.

SPEAKER_03

Uh yeah, but I'm okay.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. Well, good. Um, do you want to talk about uh Benny?

SPEAKER_03

Uh yeah. Uh Benny has uh large cell lymphoma. Uh found that out from the biopsy. And uh Taylor, you're both were very nice, but Taylor's gonna take uh us to the oncologist on Thursday. Uh I offered. You did yeah.

SPEAKER_05

But I did say, but if Taylor's available. Well, you have a good reason. You have work.

SPEAKER_03

Oh yeah. Uh and uh yeah, we'll see what's going on. But that being said, he's acting like nothing's happening. Okay. It's really interesting. I think it's like a really good lesson for life of like no matter what you're going through, you should just live and be yourself. Because he's like run, he's trying to escape the apartment like always, like when I open the door, he's running on his wheel again.

SPEAKER_05

Everything else doesn't have the existential dread that you would expect a human.

SPEAKER_01

Uh what Ron Bennington's doing.

SPEAKER_03

Yes. Yes. What'd he say?

SPEAKER_01

Ron Bennington has stage four cancer, and he's doing a podcast. He does a podcast from the unit while getting chemo. He does a people come in and sit with him, and he does a podcast while getting chemo.

SPEAKER_05

Holy shit. Oh, that's why there was emotional uh clips. I thought I was like, why is everyone just it's beautiful?

SPEAKER_01

It's really great. It's actually, yeah, it's pretty cool. Okay. Yeah. Because these people are like emotional and he's just he's just doing jokes about it.

SPEAKER_05

Uh I thought your original lesson was gonna be uh no matter what's going on in life, no matter how good, there's always something bad that's about to happen.

SPEAKER_03

That's what my first takeaway was. Uh but no, like um I remember I prayed for him to like just run on that wheel again that I have.

SPEAKER_05

And then the other day when he hadn't been running on it, a lot of money for this damn thing. I'm gonna have to not tip someone just to make up for it.

SPEAKER_03

Uh but and I was worried he was gonna uh you know pay for everything. And uh so uh but uh I remember being like more upset that it's happening to literally just uh innocent beacon of joy.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Like this no one deserves that less than cat. Yeah, and it's so s for people that don't understand it's silly, but like this cat goes up to everybody who's like most people do not want to interact with him, and then there by the time they're done, I people are uh infatuated with him, or or you know, at your level, you at least uh interact with him. I interact with him.

SPEAKER_05

And uh grip up one of my shirts from HM. Um does take food from uh Bowie sometimes. That yeah, yeah, but the weird order uh uh of those things. Uh an order of how upset I was, yeah. Uh but otherwise full of personality, full of love.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Um and that's weird the around the time that he ripped your shirt, he started getting sick.

SPEAKER_05

You know, like I told you my roommate's cat had a heart attack. Yeah. Around the time that my roommate's cat had a heart attack, I had just covered a lot of the apartment in diatomaceous earth, which is used for in case there were roaches that were coming up, so I was like laying that around. And also I had a bag left over because my ex had a bed bed bug scare, so I sprinkled my room. And then I I was like, oh my god, is this related? Like the cat maybe licked it up and then had a heart attack. Had a heart attack. Um, and I looked on Google and I was like, Yeah, it's directly related. No, I'm kidding. But it was something on my mind. I was like, I'll see how our other cats do it. And our cat's fine, so now I know it's nothing that good. Oh, I'm getting a call. Uh but yes, so uh Benny. Yeah. And also on that note, actually, it's kind of funny because when I first started hanging out with you, uh I know you don't meet a lot of guys like Steven Rogers, right?

SPEAKER_03

This is the guy that won't visit me when I get sick.

SPEAKER_05

But Steven Rogers, he really stands out a lot. Like there's no one um as much of a dork, uh, you know, who's uh always wants your wants you to like him. Let's stop talking.

SPEAKER_01

Somebody who laughs like that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Uh but I didn't I didn't wasn't like this is you guys are like emergency contact.

SPEAKER_05

So you're the nicest guy ever. Um you're very genuine, uh, you're very helpful, and you had such a uh Disney like relationship with your family that I was like, oh, this guy's gonna get cancer soon for sure. This is like what you what happens is you start the movie with guy with like, ah, everything in my life is great, da da da sunshine.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, and I've had a great couple years.

SPEAKER_05

Uh once all the things start happening, I was like, finally.

SPEAKER_03

Uh yeah, I must have bunt bent over to tie my shoe as cancer was going to hit me and it hit the cat. But uh yeah, I uh am absolutely heartbroken. Uh I have weeped almost every day. Oh shit. Uh even while he's doing he's like nothing's wrong with him. Thursday's gonna suck uh to be around me. Uh like it's gonna be bad.

SPEAKER_05

I think I pick up a shift.

SPEAKER_03

But like uh he's got something, we have no idea how much time is left, yeah, zero clue, and he's actually acting as if nothing's wrong. He put the weight back on, he's running on that wheel.

SPEAKER_05

Uh in a way that makes you more emotional.

SPEAKER_03

Yes. Some people do not understand why.

SPEAKER_05

Have you seen one flew over the cuckoo's nest?

SPEAKER_03

I have not.

I'll just, you know, there's no spoilers for thing that long. No, yeah. But it's a mental hospital mental thing. And uh there's mean caretakers that just kind of shut their shit down, right? So one day all the guys get together and are watching a baseball game. It's like the biggest game ever. It's really important. And a caretaker comes and shuts it off and goes, No, like just being a dick or like no too much noise. And so now they don't get to watch it. But then one of the guys gets up and he goes, and he's rounding the base over to the third, and he's going, and then they all kind of do it and they they uh start screaming, and then they go, and it's home, and then everyone's jumping up and cheering because they're kind of fighting against rebelling against this awful injustice, you know. Something about that was what got me. Because reading the stuff about, oh, he's uh going through this and it's sad, whatever, that didn't get me. But watching that got me. It's because it's the idea of like, hey, uh I'm gonna try. Yeah. Anyways. Fuck you, I'm gonna try anyways. And I when I read it, I didn't really um feel it, but I had to my my uh the head of the theater department assigned it to me to read, or told me to suggest it I read, and then we had a chat reading it, or or talking about it, and then I explained that scene that I really liked, and then I'm explaining it, and then I'm just suddenly bawling, and then I didn't know what to do. I was like, I don't know why this is happening. And he was like, Yeah, I guess. I don't fucking know either.
