Whoever's left it's I think it's literally almost 11 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:15.239 it's got to be a year to the day last since we last recorded, 12 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.920 because I think when we were recording episode one fifty i Isy Sagawa the Cannibal, 13 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:26.000 I think we were signing off for Christmas saying Merry Christmas because it was 14 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.079 like a demented Christmas episode. Yeah that sounds like you, right, Yeah, 15 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:32.400 that sounds like you. And then we were supposed to come back in 16 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:36.719 either January or February and we never came back. That's right. Yeah, 17 00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:41.799 that's usually our season or like our time off, right, Yes, yeah, 18 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:46.799 yeah, it's like a summer break, right, except it because you 19 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.840 take fifty vacations work as heavy and before and around that area, so you 20 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.000 like, you know, I remember that, yes, yeah, yeah, 21 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.920 during that time. Yeah, so we decided we're going to take a break. 22 00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.359 It's just the break lasted for a year, and for that, I 23 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:06.920 mean, I'm heartfelt apologizing to our listeners. I'm not he can do it 24 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:13.159 for me live in my best life. No, okay, I have not, 25 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.159 but we'll get to that in a minute. But no, I don't. 26 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:20.000 Yeah, obviously I do apologize. I don't have the heartfelt us. 27 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.039 But what I do have is like I feel like I feel like when a 28 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:27.919 young couple, especially young people, you know, they take a break. 29 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:31.319 They don't break up, right, but they take a break, and this 30 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.680 is the guy. It's like, the audience is the guy in this normal 31 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.400 situation normally, I mean, and we're the girl each other, We're gonna 32 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.000 take a break, we want to break, but it ended up being a 33 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.280 breakup because the last of the whole year and now we're back after like, 34 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:53.360 you know, trying out different podcasts, not really sleeping around with different podcasts, 35 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.280 right, and then and then we come back to the audience like, 36 00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:00.439 okay, the break is over. Now did you miss us? You know 37 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:05.400 I missed you, honey. You know that's how it feels. It does 38 00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:07.639 it does? It feels it feels weird.

Were before? That was before, right before quarantine. 44 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.639 Yeah, that's when quarantines happened. Yeah, that's right. So in a 45 00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:35.319 few months, it'd be three years since we did this. Face. Your 46 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:40.680 hairline looks amazing. Everything else is falling apart, oh yeah yeah everything yeah 47 00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:45.319 gray and tatters. I don't know what's going on with your skin over there, 48 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.599 but yeah, yeah I'm falling apart. Yeah it's ok. Yeah, 49 00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:50.680 So I just wanted to get on the mics. I really missed it. 50 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.560 Fuck twenty twenty two is all I have to say. Fuck twenty twenty two. 51 00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:01.240 It was a terrible year for me. A lot, a lot happened. 52 00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.719 We were supposed to come back in January or February. I can't remember 53 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:10.639 what we said which month, But in January of this year I wound up 54 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:15.000 if something happened to me health wise, and I wound up in the hospital 55 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:23.920 physical therapy. A shitty couple months, something something, something, a big 56 00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:29.439 setback at work. I'm still employed, same company, but there was a 57 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.360 huge setback. Well also, COVID hit it. I mean we talked about 58 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:38.079 this too. Oh wait, no, that's twenty I'm still we're talking about 59 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.759 this year. This year feels like five years and twenty twenty felt like it 60 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.800 happened twenty years ago. I'm trying of like or seven years ago. Really, 61 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.079 and just sorry, I'm back on top. Time. Is funny when 62 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.759 you start thinking over these past couple of years, the COVID years, it's 63 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:55.360 very dogs funny. It's dog years. Yeah. So yeah, I wound 64 00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:58.959 up in the hospital physical therapy, had a big setback at work that I'm 65 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:06.000 still dealing with. I I realized there were unresolved issues that I had after 66 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:14.160 my father's passing, everything kind of culminated into I just couldn't. I think 67 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.800 depression is what it was. Yeah, I'm still trying to call my way 68 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.639 out of it. And you know, one of the one of the symptoms 69 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:26.439 of that is you stop enjoying the hobbies you once loved. You completely stop 70 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.480 doing those things. And that's yeah. He stopped recording, he stopped taking 71 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.600 me out on dates. It was very compressing. It was it was really 72 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:34.879 bad. And I just said, I'm still trying to claw my way out 73 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:38.279 of it. But I realized that I have to get a hobby back. 74 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.279 I have to get back on the mics, researching and doing something that I 75 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:48.759 love. So fuck twenty twenty two. Now, I'm not committing to a 76 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:53.000 schedule on the podcast right now. You know, we used to do every 77 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.800 two weeks religiously, and then we did like once a month, and and 78 00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.800 the and the and the eve and the home stretch of our of our break 79 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.439 because it was getting heavy and obviously, which is a precursor to why we 80 00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.800 took the year off. Really it's really what it is like the eye of 81 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:12.439 the store. Maybe I don't know what and and now we know, you 82 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.199 know, and yeah, no schedule. It could be like Dan Carlin, 83 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.279 what's up? Dan Carlin is a famous podcast, or he does history, 84 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:25.600 he recurked whenever. Yeah, he just does it whenever he can. That's 85 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.600 that's a stick. I like it. I think that's what we could do 86 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.560 for now. Yeah, we'll, we'll, we'll put out some stuff. 87 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.519 I started researching something, right, and I was like, well, no, 88 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:39.759 do not get excited. I started because you know you what was was 89 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.160 two weeks ago, three weeks ago you told me that you want to come 90 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.879 back. Yeah, about three weeks ago, and I was like, oh 91 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:46.360 great, And then I texted you at some point after that like, oh, 92 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.759 I started researching something. And I should have said, like, I 93 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:54.959 had no idea how to do this again because so many false starts. I 94 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.319 got like one pair of dumb it's dumb. There's nowhere near done. Anyway. 95 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:02.199 I'm rusty. Yeah, me too, me too. Well, your 96 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:08.040 skin looks rusty too. I don't have anything wrong skin, so listeners know 97 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:15.720 I'm not like a leper over here you have. Yeah. And then our 98 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:19.920 our website was brought down twice. It was hacked and completely destroyed twice. 99 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:28.600 That sucked. So we had to finally and it's up now Chicago ghost podcast 100 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.519 dot com. That was from go Daddy. I got hacked and brought down 101 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:35.319 twice from go Daddy really had to be rebuilt twice. Yes, So now 102 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:41.439 we finally migrated all the data off of go daddy servers and put them onto 103 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:46.759 a private server from our our hosting server, our web design company. Yeah. 104 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.879 Yeah, it's like in the Philippines or whatever. You were serious. 105 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:57.720 I was just and so they're they're moneery constantly and uh there yeah, so 106 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.720 we should be good there. Our merch shop is back up, you know, 107 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.639 that's all up and running. I'm very happy about that. But just 108 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.120 stuff like that. Man, fuck twenty twenty two, it sucked. Yeah. 109 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:11.879 Now how about for you, I know for a time you took on 110 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:15.240 a new job before the government. That's right. Our schedule was another reason 111 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.519 our schedules changed. That's right. It did change because I only had I 112 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:24.399 had two days off only, which was I don't remember Tuesday, Wednesday or 113 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.959 something like that. It was something really weird, something weird. Couldn't meet, 114 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.879 right, that was gonna be hard to meet because that schedule was like 115 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:37.080 two am or something till eleven am. Yeah, crazy, some weird hour, 116 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.159 Yeah, some weird time. I quit it very soon after that, 117 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.200 Yeah, because so real quickly. The job was for I don't mind saying 118 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.159 it. They don't care either. It was for goodwill, specifically the goodwill 119 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.200 at a Navy base. They basically served the troops. Yes, I was 120 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.440 serving the troops, very weird job, serving them food, serving them food, 121 00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.559 sorry, serving them food, feeding them three times a day. That 122 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.799 was all that was our job and everything that entailed, which is preparing all 123 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:07.399 that cleaning and shared managing. I was one of the managers. And they're 124 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.679 wrong. The job itself, it was, it's technically manageable. Do they 125 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:18.000 manage it? Well, no, it's a crazy zoo down there, And 126 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.240 well I didn't know. I don't. This is what I'm fun with. 127 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.480 No government, that's my first. This is not a real government job because 128 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.200 I'm working for a nonprofit, but like it is because I'm working on their 129 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.799 soil, so I do have to follow their rules and shit. So that's 130 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:37.279 probably why you know, it was so weird there for me. But I 131 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.559 was like, like, I can tough this off for like a year. 132 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:46.600 Nope, six weeks is all I lasted before I was like yeah, life 133 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:48.919 is too short for this. It paid more than I was for sure a 134 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.840 good amount more, but it wasn't worth it, Like I was gonna my 135 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:54.240 soul was gonna die like the rest of them. A lot of people were 136 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.559 very depressed on there, who were like eyes glazed over with you know, 137 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.960 or like hired to the bone kind of thing, or like every day is 138 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.000 like a new upheaval that they bring on something, all this unnecessary baggage, 139 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.320 unnecessary baggage. I started immediately and like, no, I don't want to 140 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.080 deal with this. I don't need my life to be a sitcom that isn't 141 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.000 funny. So I quit and I went I went back to Starbucks. There 142 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.120 you go. Yeah, and it took me back into Harpy. They had 143 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.440 not replaced me, and they were were raised too, right. Yeah, 144 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.759 yeah, Yeah, it's it's cool that you you realize that, Hey, 145 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.879 the money isn't worth losing a part of myself. Yes, I've always done 146 00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:33.240 that. This is why I've always lived, you know, lived kind of 147 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.480 minimally because I don't I'd rather have a peace of mind than a lot of 148 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.639 money. Yeah, I've never been that kind of person. And that's really 149 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:45.000 kind of where I'm at now too, like, is this is this money 150 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:50.279 worth my health? Because mental health is just as important as your physical health. 151 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.759 Mental health and physical health. Yeah for Trusty, as it's killing me, 152 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.279 that's it is. So I understand what you're saying and brab with you 153 00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.039 for pulling the trigger on that. You know. Yeah, well it's well 154 00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:03.080 like pulling the trigger and take the trigger at the bullet back because the first 155 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:07.000 big change was taking this job, and then the big change after that is 156 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.200 going back. You know. That's funny, but it's good. They took 157 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.159 you back and you got a raise. Yeah, and then I remember, 158 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:18.200 no one wants to close, no one wants to whoever what happens? Then? 159 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.879 I remember you were also really sick too. It wasn't COVID. Do 160 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.000 you remember. I do remember that you were down from I don't remember what. 161 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.039 I'm trying to remember what it was. It's been til long now. 162 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.919 Yeah, but it wasn't COVID because that's what we thought at first. Yeah, 163 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.519 I still haven't really gone COVID. You didn't, I did. I 164 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.960 wound up getting it. Yeah, I remember that. But you have kids 165 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.200 though, it's like basically gonna happen. It's like a matter of time, 166 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.720 not if, but when nothing would Nico, my son hasn't gotten it. 167 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.360 We all of us, me, my wife and daughter have got it. 168 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.120 But yeah, I remember you were super sick. So it's just another thing 169 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:54.879 that added to you know, extending the recording and just one thing after another, 170 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.799 one thing after another. And did feel that way. But this year, 171 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.960 you know, that's scene in Seinfeld. Sorry for younger people out there, 172 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.600 let's face it, you're not the younger the is this the episode side 173 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:11.600 of the Summer of George. Summer of George? I don't remember that one. 174 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:15.000 Well, well, he decides this year I'm gonna make a change. 175 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:16.600 This is gonna be the summer of me. I'm going to be a successful 176 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.960 something in something. I kind of did that not not a summer of Oscar, 177 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.279 but it was more like I called I didn't call it anything. What 178 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:31.759 I what I did is that I went out online, mainly online but also 179 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:37.039 in physical form, going out and accept trying to like make new friends. 180 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.960 That's what I try to do this year, make new friend. I accepted 181 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:46.960 all applications whatever, no matter how weird you were or what, like the 182 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.120 polar opposite of what I don't care if you're accept I'm accepting kind of thing. 183 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:56.919 And so how did that turn out? So weird ups and down ups 184 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.840 and downs, some of them in the form of like through a dating app, 185 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.440 I met a few people that were interested only in making friends, and 186 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.159 I was fine with that, and so I did hang out with a few 187 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:13.519 people, some of which, like I found I don't wanna say uninteresting. 188 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.360 They're not uninteresting, but I found them to be like, oh, you 189 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.279 know, maybe I'm not really feeling it out as even friends much less something 190 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.840 more amorous. And others they did the same to me, They're like, 191 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:26.840 maybe they're not feeling it right. So a lot of that, a lot 192 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:31.840 of like almost potential friends, but no follow ups, no real hangouts after 193 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.559 you know, maybe one more time a bar here or a drink there, 194 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:43.120 or a game top whatever here. But overall, I think I've made like 195 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.360 three four new friends that I have been pretty steady since nice. So yeah, 196 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.639 that's way more. That's four hundred percent so o kadness that I have 197 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.840 other friends with. But yeah, that's been. That was that was a 198 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:58.919 lot of fun. And I'm meeting someone new next week possibly tomorrow as well. 199 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.320 Yeah, somewhere loading been loading it up. Yeah, and I guess 200 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.879 a lot of people are pretty lonely in the holidays a lot. Yeah, 201 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:13.399 it's been catching a lot of people being like unfortunately for them, obviously left 202 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.919 out from their families, you know, from either from this year as a 203 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.279 new thing or overall in their life. And I'm like, yeah, let's 204 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:24.200 do something, you know, kind of you're brightening other people's lives, trying 205 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.279 tofully Yeah, with a dark light. That's the problem. That's my That's 206 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.639 well, there is such a thing. I was listening to the news the 207 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:33.519 other day. There's I can't remember the name they gave it, but it's 208 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:39.919 a it's a depression. It's it's a thing that settles on some people around 209 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:45.559 Christmas time when Christmas does not turn out to be picture perfect like the movies. 210 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.320 So it's like postpartum depression, but for holidays. Yeah. Yeah, 211 00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.799 it's like that actual thing. Not to say that that's the same expectation, 212 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.240 by the way, I'm just saying when when the Christmas doesn't come out the 213 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:00.399 way they do in the movies, it's it's a thing, well that will 214 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.360 never happen. At a name for it, it's really crazy. Yeah, 215 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.720 we have a name for a lot of not dumb things, but a lot 216 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.440 of things we wouldn't expect. Yeah, and that could be, that makes 217 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:13.759 sense. I didn't know that. Yeah, it's crazy. Lexi Raven will 218 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.240 not be this is the Ketchup show, right, this is this, This 219 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.440 is the Ketchup Show. Lexi Raven won't be joining us on the show any 220 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:20.799 longer. We didn't mention that on the show because we were doing we're still 221 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.240 doing podcasts. I don't believe we did. I think I know. I 222 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.279 said I didn't want to at first, but I never did. I really 223 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:28.879 don't think so. I think we kept it hush hush, Okay, So 224 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.679 uh, six months before we took a break from y'all around six months, 225 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:39.080 I like said, I broke up. We're not taking a break right, 226 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.360 No, no, broke yeah, yeah, yeah, and it's fine. 227 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:46.960 It was surprisingly mutual. Again not to reference semn felt all day, but 228 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:50.720 it wasn't like that breakup where they both wanted it they handshake it like all 229 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.080 right, bye bye. It wasn't like that, but it was like understandably 230 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:58.120 from both our ends here. So so yeah, so it was amicable, 231 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:04.320 good good.

But that's the only requirement you need though.

I feel like this thing 260 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:48.480 is hearing my stomach growling. It's great. I had to unplug the sun 261 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:52.680 pump over here. Mm hmm. Yeah, so that that happened again. 262 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.119 Fuck twenty twenty two. Yeah. Also, the dating world awful. It's 263 00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.720 pretty dismal, bearing wasteland of nonsense. Really, did you know that I 264 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.960 did not? Yeah, it's pretty bad. However it was in your day. 265 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.599 There's been like three different waves of dating that you missed out on. 266 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:12.400 Thankfully, thank God. And I don't know how I miss I just said 267 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.799 three waves at the top of my head. But let's just say three or 268 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.160 four, right, because you're that old. I feel it. Yeah, 269 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.680 you feel yeah, yeah, the gray everywhere, he's fine, he's why 270 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:26.279 did I come back to this? I don't know. I mean, you 271 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.279 know me, so the guy changed. I went bitter, bitterer, more 272 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:36.279 bitter, the bitters, I know. That's what I'm just thinking. I 273 00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:38.519 was saying. Anyway, let's say three waves of dating. Somehow in the 274 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:44.440 first two ways of dating from my lateeens, thirty twenties to the early thirties 275 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:48.440 or whatever, it's been somehow a ball enough, like enough where I get 276 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:52.039 to play the field. I understand what's going on roughly human content seems something 277 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:57.519 attainable. And then this last wave it's insane. I don't understand anything that's 278 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:02.599 going on me. They don't either, and I think we're all pretending we 279 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:06.559 do, but no one we understands. It is a mindfield of nonsense. 280 00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:08.160 So what is it? This is very interesting. I get ghosted so much, 281 00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:11.480 Jay, which is a common thing, very common, so common, 282 00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:15.640 right that uh, it's like I expect it. I expected it for everyone 283 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:21.400 all the time, and it's like I feel like I think of a good 284 00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:25.599 I feel like Casper. I was gonna make a Pokemon reference, but you 285 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:30.160 don't know Pokemon Caspar. Caspar is the Hispanic Ghostspar. Yeah, okay, 286 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:33.599 I go with that. Is there Caspital. I love it, I think 287 00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:36.440 so, I actually don't know. Don't quote me on that. I think 288 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:41.720 it's called caspital. It is now better and not just that, but weird 289 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:48.319 things that I feel, and it's very politically heavy and charged out there, 290 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:55.720 very very very I dated both opposite ends of the spectrum. It's been fun. 291 00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:57.359 I won't tell you that. I'm not gonna I'll tell you, but 292 00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:03.480 like I'm not gonna, h it's been a very interesting ride seeing what also 293 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.640 turns them off is funny to mean to like, Yah, it's fun. 294 00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:11.839 It's it's it's fun bad but fun. Like I'm I'm tolerantly making fun of 295 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.640 it. But yeah, but still like I'm you know, still meeting new 296 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.799 people and whatever. And one of those people has become like a friend. 297 00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.799 So that's been interesting. Nice. Oh yeah, So, like I said, 298 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:26.799 accepting all friends invites no problem. Uh, listeners, dating sucks so 299 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.519 stay away from my Jesus contact at Chicago ghost podcast dot com. Be Oscar's 300 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.960 friend.

He's like, Cando, Yeah, 331 00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:33.880 I can't fuck these mic Like, I'm afraid to move my feet on the 332 00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:36.480 carpet. I'm afraid I've already been making noise. I said, don't stop 333 00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:41.960 yourself. Just don't make any extraordinary noises, like don't farty or don't hold 334 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:47.160 any either, because we'll hear it on the inside. Yeah, yeah, 335 00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:51.559 okay, okay. I almost bought a house in Florida. That's right. 336 00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:55.160 I was gonna mention that and again, fuck twenty twenty two because that all 337 00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:56.799 fell apart. Yeah, what was the name of the hurricane? I had 338 00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.640 the house? I had that down. We were moving to Florida. We 339 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.200 were supposed to move October twenty eighth. That's right, we were supposed to 340 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:04.279 move. I was gonna hate your guts when you move because it was kind 341 00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:07.400 of sunning for me because I heard about it like a month before. You 342 00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:08.160 did it, right, because you were looking at houses. I think, 343 00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:11.480 yeah, I'm like that soon. I know, stay here, what are 344 00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:15.079 you did? I had so many mixed emotions, but you know, that's 345 00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:18.279 our ultimate goal is to get down there, and you know, I want 346 00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:21.960 my mom to ekamble to take my mom with us, and I want her 347 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:26.359 to be down there. But Hurricane Ian came again. I heard, you 348 00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.559 know, just the year is terrible. Hurricane Ian came and screwed everything. 349 00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:34.920 As we were closing on the house is when Ian as when we were supposed 350 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:38.359 to close on the house, is when Ian made landfall. So everything got 351 00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:41.759 screwed up with the clothes, with trying to secure insurance. And this was 352 00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:45.640 it was an expensive home. It was, it was an expensive home. 353 00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:51.240 Can't have it without insurance. So Ian screwed all that up. I just 354 00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:55.079 barely got all my money back from you know, my down payment. Thank 355 00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:57.680 god I got it back. And that's another thing that happened. Just that 356 00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:04.160 screwed everything up, you know, or screwed with me. Yeah. Yeah, 357 00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:07.759 it's just not a good year, listeners, just not a good year. 358 00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:10.160 Now you don't have to get back into you don't have to try to 359 00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:11.960 come up with one. But is there anything that went well this year? 360 00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:17.839 Yeah? Traveling, traveling. The only time I'm truly happy is when I'm 361 00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:19.839 traveling with my family. No, he's only happy, guys, when he's 362 00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:26.680 in an airport waiting for that airplay that listeners know that that that has been 363 00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:30.240 with us since the beginning. He hates playing. So I had to go 364 00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:33.319 to Jersey because I think everyone knows that I work from home. Yeah, 365 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:37.000 I'm a remote worker now, and I had to go to New Jersey in 366 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.440 April for a sales meeting. That's the beginning of our fiscal year is April 367 00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.160 April one. And it was cool. I won a trip. I got 368 00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:49.119 some diamonds that added to my my ring that I secured for being great at 369 00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:52.160 sales. And it was a great meeting. But I fucking drove the Jersey. 370 00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:56.240 I drove the New Jersey and everyone made fun of me. But you 371 00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:00.559 know what, people are getting delayed on the way home, can't get into 372 00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:02.400 the air, you know, just all these problems. But even with those 373 00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:03.839 delays, the probably still got there home on time. They did. But 374 00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:07.720 I was less stressful and I'm just cruising man, having a good time. 375 00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:15.160 Yeah, yeah, yeah, So it just I just needed to get back 376 00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.240 on the mics is basically. Yeah. I also had a trip too. 377 00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.240 I went to Kentucky, that's right, because you brought me back like eight 378 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.079 bottles of whiskey. Yeah, you fucking fucking ordered things, but you were 379 00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.920 like whisky fucking this is my Amazon oscars, my Amazon today, I think 380 00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:34.920 I have I think I have over sixty something bottles of whiskey in this house. 381 00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:37.240 But yeah, you went to Kentucky, you did the bourbon trail, 382 00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:41.279 A lot of bourbons. Yeah, yeah, a lot of distilleries, primarily 383 00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:45.599 Buffalo Trace. We went to like three times because they changed their main shit 384 00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:48.039 every day, which we didn't know until it got there. And you can 385 00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:51.880 only buy one bottle per customer or per person. So yeah, we went 386 00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:53.680 back. Yeah, so we took advantage of there. We went to the 387 00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:59.319 Looks Looks I want to say distillery. We went to the US I don't 388 00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:00.960 sore. No, it's not lux with us, not right, it's something 389 00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:03.839 like that. I don't know. We went to a bunch of them, 390 00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:07.519 including the big some of the big ones. I know, you brought me 391 00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:08.880 quite a few bottles of will It, Yeah, brought me a bottle of 392 00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:15.359 each Taylor. There was some Dickle. I think you got me sounds right, 393 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:21.559 George Dickle. So you had to go to those stilleries. We went 394 00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:23.480 to the I think you got me Buffalo Trace too. Yeah, you got 395 00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:29.079 my bottle Buffalo Trace probably Eagle Rare, Yes, a ten year bottle Eagle 396 00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:32.319 Rare. Fucking sweet. I know. That's when we came back. We 397 00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:34.480 went back for it. So when we went back, so they each Taylor. 398 00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:37.880 So when we went to the the first day to the Buffalo Trace. 399 00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:41.599 They had the h Taylor that day, and obviously I bought one, only 400 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:47.119 one, of course, And I was like because I had taste tests of 401 00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:48.599 it before right in the in the tour, and I was like, this 402 00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.839 is pretty good. Should I give it to Should it be nice and give 403 00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.000 this one to J? And then like yeah, okay. And then the 404 00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:59.799 next day I was like okay. So and then we found out through online 405 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.400 probably someone on the chat or something said that they had the Eagle rare on 406 00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:07.519 the next day, Like, oh, that's what I want, and that 407 00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:10.519 fuckers for me. I ain't game because I don't get one right right, 408 00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:12.279 And I was like, and then, but we had other friends that didn't 409 00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:15.559 drink bourbon, and they were like, they never came with us the first 410 00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:19.920 time. They just they stayed at the Airbnb, and but we convinced them 411 00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:23.720 to go with us, so we can use their person to buy another bottle 412 00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:27.000 for us. So I got someone to pair up with me, and that's 413 00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:30.240 how I got you the second the second A we're got it. So yeah, 414 00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:34.519 it's an age stated ten year Eagle rare very. So I haven't opened 415 00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.920 mind yet, So I don't think I opened that one yet. Yeah, 416 00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:41.480 yeah, that Kentucky trip. I think in this year. We've been to 417 00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:49.680 Florida four times the last So when when when I decided against the home. 418 00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:56.920 So my daughter and I had a Okay, Tally was having my daughter, 419 00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:00.359 Tally was having a really hard time with the move. Yes, I remember 420 00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:03.039 that. So I told her, Okay, how about if you and me 421 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.559 go to Florida, check out the house, check out the neighborhood. If 422 00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.599 we have time, we'll check out the high school because she's entering freshmen. 423 00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:15.160 Would that maybe make you feel better? And she's like, yeah, So 424 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.400 we had this trip planned just daddy daughter. I backed out of the home, 425 00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:22.160 but I still kept the trip. So just me and Talia drove to 426 00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:26.559 Florida. We stayed there three days, drove back, took her out of 427 00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:30.440 school a couple of days, and it was just it was a wonderful trip, 428 00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.960 just her and I. Yeah, no Nico, no Katie, you 429 00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:37.839 know, just her and I and it was wonderful. Nice. I'll never 430 00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.079 forget it because I don't get that with her anymore, right, you know. 431 00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.200 And that's something else that's been fuck with me this year. That kid's 432 00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:48.400 getting older. She's fourteen now, yeah, and she's not my little girl 433 00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:52.559 anymore. She's independent. She could care less about mom and dad, you 434 00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.160 know what I mean. And that used to be my little buddy. So 435 00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:57.920 I've been having a really hard time with that this year. Yeah. And 436 00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:03.759 anyway, Yeah, so good things that happened this year. Vacations, Yes, 437 00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.200 And I would say over the time since we've been face to face recording, 438 00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:12.519 I've probably been to Florida at least twelve times, and I think we 439 00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:17.839 did New Orleans three times during that time period, you know. So that's 440 00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:22.200 the only time I'm really happy is when I'm traveling. Yeah. Yeah, 441 00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:30.480 Funny enough that you mentioned traveling. A lot of people's bios and descriptions and 442 00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:33.960 and and dating apps, a lot of them put travel a lot as the 443 00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:37.119 things they love or they do. How am I? How are these people 444 00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:41.720 affording all this travel? That's my question? Yeah? You just you know, 445 00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:44.200 you just no, no. I get why you do how you do 446 00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:48.279 it, But I can't imagine everyone has the same ability, you know. 447 00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:52.240 I don't know. Maybe it's just something to put I think, so something 448 00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:56.799 to start just so common. It's just a staple. I almost like it's 449 00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:00.000 almost like a detriment like enough with the traveling, Like, you know, 450 00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.480 you ain't going nowhere. I ain't going nowhere. Sit on the couch. 451 00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:07.640 Yeah right, But if we're going, we're going back to Florida on the 452 00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:11.920 twenty seventh, two days after Christmas, and we'll be there for years. 453 00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:15.680 Yeah, be over there for New Year's I'm taking bringing one of my daughter's 454 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:18.000 friends this time. Oh shit, take which one, Jackie? Remember? 455 00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:21.240 Yeah, yeah, I think I do. She's like our second daughter. 456 00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:25.160 So and I'm taking them all the Discovery Cove to swim with the dolphins. 457 00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:29.640 What the hell is that? It's it's a Sea World property in Orlando. 458 00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:32.920 You swim with dolphins, you swim with all sorts of fish and stingrays, 459 00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:34.559 and the kids just go nuts. They love it, got it? So 460 00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:37.839 we're gonna go there on the on the thirtieth. So yeah, travel travels 461 00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:41.759 the one good thing about this year, all right, And that's all I'm 462 00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:45.960 giving this year. Fuck this year. If I haven't said that already, 463 00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.759 Yeah, no, I think I think we got that horrible even for the 464 00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:52.000 cheap seats in the back. I think they heard it, all right, 465 00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:57.160 Yeah, but uh, I mean I think we have some good topics planned 466 00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:03.200 for some upcoming shows, but again no no promise on when they'll be released. 467 00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:06.799 But we are going to come back. We're coming back. We're recording 468 00:31:06.839 --> 00:31:11.279 a show tonight. And I don't know that. I mean, I just 469 00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:14.720 wanted to jump on the mics and say we're still here, We're still alive. 470 00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.799 We hope you're still out there listening. There was one one guy, 471 00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.279 So I told you our website got brought down twice. Our emails, all 472 00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.279 our old emails are gone. Everything is gone. Everything is But this this 473 00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:32.279 really cool guy. I'm sorry I forgot your name. You you live in 474 00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:34.240 the You live in England, but you also spent time in Jersey. We 475 00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:38.599 were going back and forth on email. He sent this this wonderful, heartfelt 476 00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:44.400 email, concern generally concerned for our health and safety. And we're still alive. 477 00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:47.279 And he said, you know, he's been listening to us so long 478 00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:51.359 that we're like part of his life. You know, he felt he knew 479 00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:56.680 us personally. Just a wonderful email. And that made me think how shitty 480 00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:00.799 it was to just drop off with no X Nation. I mean, we 481 00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:05.880 released every two weeks without fail, and then to just go dark. That 482 00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:09.319 wasn't fair. Yeah, so that's why I wanted to record this. No, 483 00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:13.279 and I get that, and that's why I was like immediately yes on 484 00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:17.400 this, And I got myself a portable water This is a great setup. 485 00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:22.200 That's a cute thing. Yeah, okay. Because I don't have laptops and 486 00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:27.680 Jay doesn't believe in monitors, I just throw them away as a fact, 487 00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:30.880 he buys them just to throw them away. Well, we were moving, 488 00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:35.359 so I got rid of so much stuff monitor I held on and this is 489 00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:38.119 funny. The week the week before you asked me, I had just gotten 490 00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:43.640 rid of it, just gotten rid of it. Weird. No, that's 491 00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:45.359 fine. I've alsto have been doing some cleaning. I have a lot of 492 00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:49.400 weird shit, am I? Because I have to make space for this new 493 00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:52.400 roomy. I had this giant room, well like a bedroom that I never 494 00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:57.799 use. It's been holding the boxes that I haven't unpacked, well because they're 495 00:32:57.839 --> 00:33:01.160 not necessary. There are many eight box's just movies like sitting there, for 496 00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:05.720 example, a bunch of clothes. I don't use a lot of Lexi shit. 497 00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:07.960 My mini fridge isn't like you know. I just gotta clean all that 498 00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:12.559 shit out. And there's like a lot more than that obviously, and I 499 00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:15.200 had another person living there for a minute too, for a few months. 500 00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:19.759 Was it a few months? It was a few months. Yeah, I 501 00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:22.680 did tell you about it. Yeah, don't worry, we'll talk about it 502 00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:25.279 lafter. But yeah, that happened. And it's like a ship show. 503 00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:29.880 So I've been cleaning it out like a little bit little it's still like halfway 504 00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:34.440 there, but like I'm getting there. Uh yeah, anything you want to 505 00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:36.960 say as far as to what to expect from us and in the in the 506 00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.519 short future coming up, not I mean specifically on the next show, but 507 00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:49.680 like I don't know, just something to end it regarding like we're not changing 508 00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:54.640 our topics necessarily, right, we're not topics same top three the triangle of 509 00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:59.880 serial killer, conspiracy and supernatural. Yes, you forgot what it was. 510 00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:01.799 He used to giving me the lies Like, let's do not know. I 511 00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:07.119 got it from your show. This is your idea, this is the newsletter 512 00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:09.280 you invited me to fucking twenty years ago. This is a very yeah right, 513 00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:14.840 this is a very weird thing. Yeah, Dave, Black, Joe, 514 00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:20.119 Eerie still talk to them da Engineery. What did I say? I 515 00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:23.599 just combined worry, Okay, because Dave has a few names. He does 516 00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:29.480 three. I can't keep up with that guy. Yeah, so they're still 517 00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:32.360 doing good. I know people I get messages every once in a while asking 518 00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:36.079 if they're going to come back ever, and I still have them listened on 519 00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:39.360 the website as occasional co hosts is what I have. I'll try to get 520 00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:43.119 him back this, you know, coming year. Yeah. When we when 521 00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:45.840 we say occasional on the on the on the website, we mean occasionally in 522 00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:53.639 the large fastness of time. Yeah, in the Sea of Tranquility, it 523 00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:57.920 is occasionally. Yeah, you know, in the next year. I would 524 00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:00.880 like to, uh, I'd like to maybe do another pod cast trip somewhere. 525 00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:02.679 Oh yeah, yeah, we love that. I know. I know 526 00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:07.679 joe Erie is dying well squeeze the funk out of as we do, as 527 00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:13.199 we do with the ring It. He really wants to go to Gettysburg and 528 00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:16.000 do Civil War ghost hunting and interviews down there, so I thought that might 529 00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:21.199 be cool. Yeah, we have our own Sherman's uh not Sherman's March was 530 00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:24.039 the name of that documentary, Sherman's something. I don't know, it doesn't 531 00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:30.519 matter. Other people cinematics, no cinema watch stuff, but yeah, I 532 00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:36.280 mean something like that would be great, same topics. Uh, I'm not 533 00:35:36.360 --> 00:35:40.000 committing to anything. I just know it's gonna roll out as it can as 534 00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:44.519 we can, yeah, right, And I hope listeners are okay with that. 535 00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:46.639 But that's the way it's got to be for now, right exactly. 536 00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:53.119 And I will also mhm figure out how to do this again and go back 537 00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:57.920 to researching. And I probably won't do what I did last time I did 538 00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:00.320 like five books on one subject again because that burned me out. But I'll 539 00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:04.440 do something like that. And I also want to get back on the ball 540 00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:07.000 regarding like, you know, because I lost the touch. Like I feel 541 00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:09.440 like I know less. You know, I don't know less, but I 542 00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:13.400 feel like I do. I still read all the time, but like not 543 00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:17.519 for anything in depth, you know. I read for entertainment. I read 544 00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:22.920 for I mean, even my own education so to speak, sure, but 545 00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:25.760 nothing in depth. And I want to dig into some stuff cool back like 546 00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:29.400 we used to do. So yes, I am very much interested in coming 547 00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:36.159 back to that, not just you awesome bitch.
