You did call me Saturday night,
You.
Were playing video games you

Yes, First of all, yes, you
called me from your phone.
Yes, at midnight was.
It that late?
Yes, I thought was just after
10.
So it was the midnight.
I told you, you're drunk
calling.
People.
Yeah, you're drunk dialing.
You were drunk dialing.
First of all, second of all, you
never call me at midnight.
No, That's why I knew you'd
answer.
So yeah, if you call me at
midnight, I'm thinking there's a
dead hooker in the trunk and we
need to bury a body.
We were singing friends in low
places.
I don't know what happened, but
she's dead.
Well, you were still away.
And I'd be like.
So what did I do?
I answered the phone.
Yes, we all sang to you.
I saw that you 3 idiots are
together.
And my wife and and the young
way used to live with us.
Megan was there.
Oh, I didn't see that.
I just saw.
Oh, I kept turning the phone.
I thought.
I got oh.
No, I was gone at that point.
I saw you thing one.
Thing and thing two chit was
there too.
Yeah, I saw the three of you.
And Alec, which I don't think
you know well.
No, I don't know Alec.
And then I said, OK, Palmer's
fine.
And I hung up the phone.
So you were waving around an
empty phone to people?
Oh yeah, it looked like someone
was on the phone.
You like?
Everybody check this out.
This is my.
Phone and it's glowing.
So then we called Greg.
Yes, he also answered.
And the pitch block.
Pitch black couldn't see a
thing.
Yes, And then we called Brett at
Tobacology.
Yes, he answered.
Of course he was laughing his
ass off, but he couldn't hear a
word he was saying, obviously.
Yes.
Brett is that type of guy.
Yeah, I asked Brett.
Is Brett a late guy?
Is he up?
He goes, Oh yeah, he's always
you call him.
Brett is realistically a dead
hooker in the trunk guy.
You know what I mean?
If we're If you find yourself in
the area of Virginia, right?
And you're a dead hooker in the
trunk.
And you're in a position I would
call Brett and I'm sure that he
would never speak about it
again.
Anybody.
OK.
No.
It's over.
Nope.
I don't want to talk about it.
Somewhere on that farm his there
may or may not be one already
anyway.
Several, several.
So I bought the farm.
You know, he says he's always
golfing.
Yeah, that's what he's doing is
actually committing murders.
Oh, burying things.
Yeah, yeah, he's like Dexter.
Oh.
Yeah, keeps blood tablets.
So can I tell him everything can
happen that night?
Phil, you can do it very.
Well.
So there was this.
We called her the elf.
Oh my God.
There was a young lady there,
shorter than my wife, so she had
to be.
Under 5 feet tall, head shaved
on one side.
OK, a.
Lot of tattoos, nose, nose ring
thing.
But she was cute though she was
there with some dude who they
didn't match it all.
OK, stop.
Tell the rest on the Patreon.
No, come on.
All right, she was hitting on on
boots.
Oh.
Like hardcore hitting on boots
like made the obvious offer of
services.
Oh really?
What can I say?
I'm.
A for a threesome.
Was her boyfriend a cook?
Did he want to watch?
I have no idea.
It looked, it looked like a
first date kind of kind of
thing.
She didn't belong with him,
yeah.
So she tried to throw.
He was shorter than I was.
So she was like, you never seen
the new guy?
Hey, I need 2 Dicks tonight or
something.
So was she, but.
Then she was well, no, no, it
wasn't a Dick thing for her.
It was just a third person, I
think.
Just a random yeah.
Because she hit on various women
out on the dance floor.
Ah.
At one point told my wife that
she should be doing him if she's
not.
So as the numbers came, oh.
And my wife goes, that's my son,
she said.
Well, that would be awkward,
but.
But, but still wow.
Still.
Interesting.
Yes.
See, This is why I don't grow
out with you guys on Saturday
nights.
I know, but it was a very
upstanding bar.
I we're new Somerta Beach.
It wasn't like we were in some
dive somewhere.
It's the beach.
It was only one girl.
All the rest were.
Well, that Tracy answer Tracy
with an eye who was very fond of
Tara.
Yes.
And she kept taking her shoes
off, and the bouncer would have
to chase her to put her.
Shoes with.
Your shoes back on.
You have to have your shoes on.
She'd scurry off.
Yes, the blonde lady, but.
She yeah.
She smeared herself on Tara
glasses when she Hi, I'm Tracy
with an eye and leaned in to
kiss her and just gooder.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah, but she looked like
groovers girlfriend.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
I remember.
It wasn't her.
Wasn't.
No, but just so you get an idea
what you look like.
Ah, and then there was a.
There was a.
Point of reference, but you were
half in the bag bro.
Like how would you know?
Was it half in the bag all
night?
What time was that happen?
That was before we called.
Wait a second.
Yeah, I was way before.
We called a second.
One second.
What time did you go out that
night?
Well, they went out to the
cigar.
Answer the questions.
What time did you go out that
night?
I'm thinking 8:00-ish.
You were out at eight, yeah.
You didn't pre, no.
You didn't drink at all during
Saturday like you're usually
your Saturday process is some
yard work.
Yeah, alcohol because we well,
OK, I had one beer because we
went.
We took care of mom on Saturday
since we couldn't go Thursday.
So you did.
So we took Mom to get a haircut.
We took mom the grocery store
and I had a beer with lunch.
What was the beer?
It was a blue moon.
Just one hypo, just one well.
That's why I was drinking Blue
Moons the rest of the night.
Plus, nobody had Lanchard.
Because for you to drunk dial
everybody.
At some point in the evening,
you.
Got the That was about 910 beers
for the evening, so he was
probably only like two or three
by the time we got there.
Maybe.
Yeah, but you know, boots and
Check came.
Then the beer started flowing a
little bit.
Because I was like, that was our
second stop, so I had two beards
at the 1st place, and maybe it
had one by the time you guys had
showed up at the 2nd.
Place Interesting.
I had a high bill.
I don't know if everybody was
putting all their stuff on me.
I don't know what was.
Going on, you had a high bill.
It was the tab.
I only drank Miller Lite.
It was more than I spend here.
There's so much for me to say
right now I just.
I just.
I just you like you had it was
it was 150 bucks.
That's nice.
That's not too bad in Miller
Lite.
I think I had, well, I think I
had two beers on your tab.
Megan was buying my beers before
that.
I know, I know, chat.
But.
But I'm saying.
Like shots.
Let's just don't.
Nobody had shots.
Nobody the shots.
So it's just beers, Just beers.
So it's $150.00.
That's why I'm saying.
Talking about like you're
talking about like 1520 beers,
No, a beer there is different
than a beer.
How much is a beer at the It's
like 3 bucks.
So you're gonna tell me that you
guys between five people, you
burn through 50 beers?
That's what I'm saying.
That's I don't think we do.
There's no way.
I think I only had like maybe 10
if that.
So you got rolled?
Yeah, I think they did.
I don't know.
I didn't see anybody's tab.
Unbelievable.
It's probably that girl.
I didn't spend any money at
home.
It was great.
Oh, good for you.

He's not going to come home with
me.
I'm just going to put how much
everything you.

No way she know your name.
That guy over there, he's my
boyfriend.

about 3:00 in the morning and
started throwing up stomach
acid.
This is it.
I had acid reflux OK for about 3
hours.
Burned my throat.
What day?
That was sweet.
When I said that was Sunday and
Sunday, just laid around, did
nothing.
I was just napping and vomiting.
So you thought, yeah, COVID.

cough, so I thought.

Very covetous.
Very covetous.
I took the test but no.
No covet, no Cove, no go.
And the cough is getting less.
As why would you test?
I don't understand.

Of them.
Every time they're free, I
order.
I've got a stockpile of test.
You stockpile the test.
I don't understand you well.
I didn't want to come here if I
had it.
We're in Florida, bro.
We don't test.
I understand that, but I was
thinking of everyone here.
I don't want to come here and
spread it through the place.
I mean, but you have something.
Yeah, but it's so.
So it's OK to spread something?
Yeah, just not cope.
Just not cope.

some valuable insight about
Nft's and what exactly you're
buying and what exactly you

they don't want to give it to
you.
Look up.

Hello people.
Well, I guess we can't call him
because we don't even know his
name.
But yeah, there's somebody new
aroma.
Yes, damn it.
I should have grabbed that when
I saw it.
So he didn't call me that.
Why am I cutting in and out?
I thought it was you so.
I went to go buy.
I went to go rent, yes, a
laminate vinyl cleaner thing
from the floor.
Because like, I got these
grooves in my house.
Dirt gets stuck in.
Drives me fucking nuts.
I can't stand it.
That's why I say everybody knows
shoes.
You know, because I don't want
more.
Dirt.
But you have dogs.
Yeah, I mean, there's some
things that you can't what am I
fucking put sneakers on them

We wipe the feet.
My wife does.

All the time.
She says.
She says to I just.
She doesn't.
She doesn't.
Do it.
We have a lot of grass now in
the backyard with the sprinklers
and stuff.
There's very little dirt.
Yeah, I'll pick up 1 foot and
go.
OK.
You guys are good.
Go oh, you passed the test.
Yeah, nothing stuck on this one
once you had the other three.
So well with the other 12.
Oh, it was just the big ones.
We don't wipe the little guy.
Oh, OK.
So it's eight.
So I went to Home Depot.
I was going to rent this thing
because there was only one place
that had it in when it was in
the Winter Park Home Depot.
And of course they go there and
they didn't have it.
But what?
But I checked it out.
No, it was still showing in
stock, but it just doesn't
exist.
Oh, but what they did have was
just 13 foot Jack Skellington.
Oh yeah.

You see the the stackable skulls
that glow red?
No huge ass thing.
Yeah, that's in the one.
But my house that look kind of
neat.

Jack.
Yeah, but you put him on the
roof.
Did you strap him down?
I did, which is another 15 feet
in the air.
I use cinder blocks.
Nice.
Does he have to have like a
flashing red light on his head?
Well, he's got Led's up glow on
his head.
Oh, OK.
Just in case the drones come.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

running into them, Right.
