0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Mm, hello and welcome to hashtag Storytime, the podcast filled

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>with everyday stories from everyday people, brought to you by

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>I Heart Radio and Curativity Productions. I'm your host will

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:34.639
<v Speaker 1>insert funnymental name mc fadden. So I'm not sure if

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:38.280
<v Speaker 1>you guys know this, but hashtag story Time is a

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>comedy podcast. Technically speaking, the genre of this podcast is comedy,

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>and according to a website called Chartable, this podcast ranks

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>five hundred and eleven on the Comedy Charts, which I

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 1>find hilarious. You know, I wonder where my arch nemesis

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Seth Rogan story Time podcas asked ranks on the comedy charts.

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh wait, that's right. It's not a comedy podcast. It's

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:08.960
<v Speaker 1>technically a documentary and it ranks, which is pretty damn

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>good for a coward. So let me tell you a

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 1>little thing about comedy. This is gonna be where everybody

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>turns off the podcast or skips ahead, so it doesn't

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 1>really matter when I say. Also, just a reminder, this

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:26.400
<v Speaker 1>podcast is not for children. Comedy is all about surprise, Okay,

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 1>It's about set up the expectation and then fake them out.

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean. Watch here's an example duck duck,

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.959
<v Speaker 1>dildo boom, there it is. That's comedy. See, you thought

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say goose, but instead I said gildo.

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:44.839
<v Speaker 1>Did it again that time? You thought I was gonna

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 1>say dildo, but instead I said gildo. And I bet

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 1>you didn't see that jizzing? Oh what what did I

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>do there? That was a double entage. Also, the word

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 1>jizzing is just a funny word. It's kind of like

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>caddihampas or hullabaloo or murder. Got you again, didn't I?

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>This is too easy. You see in comedy, you can't

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>ever let the audience know what your next move is.

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.640
<v Speaker 1>You got to keep the audience on their nippies. Nippies

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>rhymes with tippies tippy toes. That's a little Cockney rhyme

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>slang off the dome. Okay, guys, this leads me to

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>today's guests who are experts in the old art of

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 1>the misdirect. And I'm talking about the Pointer Brothers, not sisters. See,

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 1>even their name is a fake out. And if you've

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.799
<v Speaker 1>ever seen the never let them know your next move

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>trend on TikTok that's the Pointer Brothers. They also do

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>some of the most amazing elaborate handshakes i've ever seen. UM.

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 1>You also may know them from their comedy podcast called Pointless.

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:43.959
<v Speaker 1>Great title, and I sat down with Henry and Mike

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>and they told me a story that had to do

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>with a pretty odd job. So I want to tell you,

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 1>guys the story of how I found myself in a

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 1>hoarder house cleaning out a hoarder house over the summer

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the year after graduated. Call so I can I can

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.639
<v Speaker 1>give you a little background on that. UM. I graduated

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:10.079
<v Speaker 1>uh umsk Amherston with a degree in finance, and I

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't really like finance. You know, you have all the

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>investment bankers, everyone that wants to go in wall stre

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 1>you do all that stuff. That wasn't me. But I

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.240
<v Speaker 1>got my degree in finance because I thought, you know,

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 1>it's a solid place to go. So I didn't have

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.799
<v Speaker 1>a job when I graduated, and I wasn't that worried.

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I was like, hey, you know, I can pick up

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>some od jobs, do some stuff while I'm doing a

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 1>job search. UM. Through a friend, I got connected with

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I think of horders, yeah, I was remember this one

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>vivid scene from an episode don't know, it sits in

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>my mind. It's like they walk into another room and

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 1>there's just like this old lady with just like her

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 1>head popping out of like just trash, and she's just

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>like totally like seen but like just like she's like, hey,

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 1>like what do you how's it going or something. It's

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>like this, all of these papers are very important to me. Yeah,

0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>you got like an empty cup on the other side,

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.720

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 1>need that. So I was I was real quick. I

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.039
<v Speaker 1>was watching Horders one time and it was one of

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.160
<v Speaker 1>the most disturbing episodes I've ever seen, and my dad

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>walked in eating a sandwich and was like, oh, I

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:15.359
<v Speaker 1>know that girl Like I was like the Horder. He

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, yeah, yeah, she she did some work

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.720
<v Speaker 1>for me a couple of months ago. What's she what's

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 1>she doing on TV? I was like, she's on Order.

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to know what she's doing, that's wild. Yeah.

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 1>I was like I don't wanna. I don't wanna get

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 1>this idea on my mom. I'm like, it's not gonna

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 1>be that bad Horder house whatever, like just kind of

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:38.280
<v Speaker 1>open mind as bad as a show or something. So

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 1>we I'm trying to think we show. Yeah, so all

0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:44.600
<v Speaker 1>we had to do was just clean the place out.

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh, that seems like the easiest thing we've

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.559
<v Speaker 1>done yet. So we show up to this house and

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 1>we there's hum like a garage door, right. We opened

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the garage door, and you can't see more than like

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 1>a foot and a half in front of you, and

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.360
<v Speaker 1>you're immediately smacked in the face with this smell that

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I can't even describe. I don't know. I don't know

0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>if it's old food, if it's moldy something, if it's

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>like a dead animal like you. I have no idea

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.960
<v Speaker 1>what this smell was, and neither one of us. We

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 1>had no idea we're getting into it, and this was

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 1>just the garage door, right. So first thing we did

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.680
<v Speaker 1>was we we hauled it to home depot. We got

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.200
<v Speaker 1>a ton of trash bags, and we got like these

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>face mask respirators, which I wasn't I mean, kind of needed,

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 1>but I wasn't stoked about it because it was the

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.679
<v Speaker 1>middle of the summer and it was hot as balls,

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Like it was like you you you put one of

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>those things on and you're like immediately dripping sweat and

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 1>like it was. It was a tough It was a

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:45.600
<v Speaker 1>tough time to be cleaned out a horrorhouse. You know.

0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.159
<v Speaker 1>The the heat wasn't helping with the smell as well.

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.200
<v Speaker 1>It was like it was terribly like cooking it up,

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.960
<v Speaker 1>like it was making it amplified. It's brilliant, it's it's

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.720
<v Speaker 1>it's still in it for you. So it was so

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>so we are job was to throw everything out, and

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 1>we were like, okay, we'll get a dumb stir here,

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>will pack all the stuff in bags or just toss

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 1>most of the stuff in the dumpster whatever, no problem.

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.279
<v Speaker 1>Turns out that afternoon we we you know, once we

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 1>started getting going trying to figure out what was what

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:15.640
<v Speaker 1>the dumpster was placed, and then someone at the apartment

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 1>complex or condo complex was like, hey, that can't be here.

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.240
<v Speaker 1>It's against the homeowners association all this stuff. So someone

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 1>they already got a problem with it. I um. So

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 1>our only solution was to then rent a U haul

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>and throw all the carbage, all the trash bags in

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 1>that U haul and drive it two and a half

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>or two hours to a different site that we were

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>working on. So we were literally just packing this thing

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 1>full driving it, driving backpacking it full drive, like it

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 1>was like the most inefficient, Like it was a terrible

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>like set you're You're like, I have a degree in

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>find That's what I like, dude. I remember like I

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 1>was literally like picking up just old food. At one

0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 1>point we went to this I turned into like the kitchen,

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I think at the time, and there was more Dunkin donuts,

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 1>ice coffee cups in a pile that and then I've

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.360
<v Speaker 1>ever seen in my entire life, like I'm not kidding,

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 1>probably like up to my shoulders or something in the

0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.000
<v Speaker 1>entire like this entire room. I want to say, like

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>there's probably a two thousand of these cops I have,

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>like I have photos, like we gotta try to find

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.640
<v Speaker 1>him and send him in something later. It was you

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 1>have you truly have to see it to believe, like

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 1>the amount of trash I was in here. Maybe they

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 1>were a big fan of the Charlie and that's what

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm big. I think that was that was the first

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>picture I got from Hank, like when I was just chilling.

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I was in Cape Cod with some buddy's and um,

0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that was the first first picture well, I'm

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.439
<v Speaker 1>like having fun, you know, drinking beers, going to the beach,

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 1>figuring out where we're gonna go for the night. Hag

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 1>sending me a picture of his Duncan donut just infested.

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like all I could say, I'm like to

0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 1>having like that sucks. Bro, like that sucks. Dude like it.

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to tell You're like, what are you

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 1>up to today? Dude? Like the chilling, It's like I'm

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:05.760
<v Speaker 1>literally nipples deep and duncanvillingh that was it was, It was.

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.080
<v Speaker 1>It was insane. I'm trying to think of like some

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 1>of the weirdest ship we found there. But also one

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>question is, so the owner of the house obviously didn't

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 1>live there anymore. Very good point. I meant to get

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 1>back to that. So the houses that we worked on,

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the guy, the guy that we worked for bought them

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.560
<v Speaker 1>all at foreclosure. So a lot of these houses hadn't

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 1>been lived in for a long time, so you know,

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.280
<v Speaker 1>some needed different, you know, different types of work than others.

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 1>This one had was foreclosed on. So the woman that

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 1>lived there, I don't think had lived there for maybe

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.480
<v Speaker 1>a year or something. I don't know the exact time.

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Could have been it could have been like six months

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 1>to a year, but she hadn't lived there. And I

0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.520
<v Speaker 1>think that not having to like deal with her, work

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 1>with her and like with all like what it made

0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 1>the experience, like you know, that much easier and quicker

0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 1>because it was literally just like you see something, put

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 1>it in a bag and throw it out, like there

0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>was no if and or butts, Like there was no negotiating,

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 1>no negoti a feeling if the lady was there or

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.199
<v Speaker 1>something like you would actually do it, nothing like it

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 1>would That's when we would have brought in the camera

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 1>crew and it would have been like I were getting

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:08.600
<v Speaker 1>this all on film, because like I thought you were

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>going to say that you like turned a corner and

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:14.839
<v Speaker 1>then there she was like sitting in the bathroom here

0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 1>for years. But nope, she's just due. She's just hiding

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.160
<v Speaker 1>and you know, the documentary and bring it to Vice

0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 1>and just sell it. It was insane. I'm trying to

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>think of some of the stuff that we found. I

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 1>remember one of the one of the funniest things was

0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 1>like going into the kitchen. When we finally made it there,

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 1>we kind of like you we so first attack was

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 1>like get the stairs like clean off the stairs so

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 1>we could get up to that first floor, and then

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.840
<v Speaker 1>from there was like kind of like kind of like

0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.800
<v Speaker 1>picture yourself, like it just fresh snowfall and you're just

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 1>like trying to like shovel a little spot out to

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.840
<v Speaker 1>like get to the mailbox and then like you can

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 1>get back or like. So that was kind of what

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 1>it felt like. I was like, let's just get like

0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>a little path to the kitchen, a path to like

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the bathroom, so we could just kind of move around

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 1>in there. Um, we get to the kitchen and like

0:10:58.400 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, the hell is going to be in

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 1>this fridge? Like the fridge was still there plug So

0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.200
<v Speaker 1>we opened up the fridge and I was kind of

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.960
<v Speaker 1>upset because there was nothing like crazy in there. I

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 1>was hoping it would be like you know, like I

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 1>don't even know what I was expecting to be there.

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:19.840
<v Speaker 1>But all of the food was like dated back in

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 1>like two thousand eight so so so so it was

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 1>an entire fridge full of like we are like cheese

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and like crackers and yogurts and like these had all

0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:31.719
<v Speaker 1>the old logos on it too. So I was like, oh,

0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 1>like I didn't know that, like yo play had that

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.400
<v Speaker 1>logo or something and like all this crazy stuff like

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:43.760
<v Speaker 1>vintage legit. I was like, yeah, a picture though, like

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.839
<v Speaker 1>a Mozzarella ball and it was like two seven eight,

0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.720
<v Speaker 1>and I like I probably would have ate it. We

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 1>found it. We found pretty good. A bottle of Jose

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:58.240
<v Speaker 1>queravel on top of the fridge that wasn't and and

0:11:58.240 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 1>and the guy was working. I was like, yeah, I'll

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 1>take that. That ship doesn't go bad. I was like, you, like,

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.679
<v Speaker 1>all means, grab it. As long as that seal is unbroken, right,

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>it gets better with age, right, you never know if

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 1>it was broken. Like so we found Yeah, that was

0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.680
<v Speaker 1>like the most interesting thing because that was all like

0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 1>twelve thirteen years old. And then you know, we we

0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 1>were sifting through the trash and the dunks, cops and

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.960
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff, and we'd see like like take out

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 1>receipts from a couple of months ago, you know what

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean. Like I'm like, okay, so like you you

0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 1>you had the you know, twelve year old balla Mazzarella,

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>but you chose to order b K, you know what

0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean. It was just like where do you think

0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:36.160
<v Speaker 1>like they sleep like like they on this It was

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.080
<v Speaker 1>it was it was just crazy. I was like, no

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.680
<v Speaker 1>room to sleep, you know what I mean. Um, we found.

0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:42.400
<v Speaker 1>One of the craziest things we found was was some

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:46.199
<v Speaker 1>old teeth. So we stumbled upon some teeth and I

0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 1>was like, we don't know if that that could have

0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.040
<v Speaker 1>been not their teeth, don't know whose teeth that. We

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't ask any questions. It was like, oh, these are funny.

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Let me send a snapchat to my buddy. And in

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the simple like that was it. That was the process.

0:12:59.880 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 1>And like we finally made it up to the second

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 1>flooring your way through there with your machete, dude, we

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:07.840
<v Speaker 1>we it was. It was insane. We make it up

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.520
<v Speaker 1>to the second floor and we have the two bedrooms

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:14.120
<v Speaker 1>and um. One of the things was the guys working

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.200
<v Speaker 1>he's like cleaned out plenty of horder houses before, like

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.720
<v Speaker 1>he you know, he's been there, done that, and he's like,

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, like check all the pockets, you might find

0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:22.880
<v Speaker 1>some money and some stuff. So I had this, like

0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:24.680
<v Speaker 1>I had this idea in the back of my mind

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 1>that like I was gonna strike rich, Like I was

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna like reach into like a you know, like a

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.400
<v Speaker 1>pocket or like find something. It was gonna be like

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, five bucks, are like, you know, I'm gonna

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.960
<v Speaker 1>find like, you know, some money or something. Didn't end

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 1>up doing that. So for for four four days straight,

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't find anything like the crown jewels, right, it was

0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:45.960
<v Speaker 1>like the diamond from Titanic exactly, some vintage like baseball

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:57.960
<v Speaker 1>cards or something they just forgot. So you know, found

0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.400
<v Speaker 1>all the all sorts of ship and like what was

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the did you find quarters? Like worth? Like we well

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.720
<v Speaker 1>we ended up like collecting all the change and stuff,

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:07.880
<v Speaker 1>and like they ended up with like a couple hundred

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:11.199
<v Speaker 1>two hundred bucks. Maybe we brought it to that that

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.240
<v Speaker 1>would out see. That was the that was the degree

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 1>kicking in. Like I mean, you know, I see a

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:16.960
<v Speaker 1>couple of too three quarters. You're like, we gotta stack

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 1>those together, you know what I mean? I should probably

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:25.240
<v Speaker 1>sell these teeth. Someone's looking for teeth somewhere, right, So

0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 1>we we we we get upstairs to the second floor

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and there's the two bedrooms and you can tell like

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 1>one of them was was was like this older woman

0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 1>and the other one seemed to have been like a

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:38.440
<v Speaker 1>teenage boy. So I was like, the hell's going on

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:42.320
<v Speaker 1>in here? Sifted through all that stuff throughout all sorts

0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 1>of ship. But one thing we did find was a

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:49.720
<v Speaker 1>stack probably of like forty Playboy magazines and like all

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:54.320
<v Speaker 1>this other like like computer images like like this dude

0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:58.120
<v Speaker 1>went on like went on Google Google like boobs and

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.400
<v Speaker 1>then like would copy paste that in a word document,

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:02.600
<v Speaker 1>printed it all out. And then so I just found

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 1>all these like him printed just like naked pictures that.

0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:08.680
<v Speaker 1>But it was just the funniest thing because I'm like

0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:10.400
<v Speaker 1>the whole time, I'm trying to paint a picture like

0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 1>like oh, like these I wonder like who these people were,

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 1>like what they do and all this stuff, and like

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:15.960
<v Speaker 1>it's weird because like going through all this stuff, like

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.320
<v Speaker 1>you do kind of paint a picture of who lived there,

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and like we're what they're up to and what they're doing,

0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.360
<v Speaker 1>because that's where they lived and that was their home

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:23.800
<v Speaker 1>and like you know, they got four clothes on. It's

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:25.560
<v Speaker 1>not you know that you know, kind of not that

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.040
<v Speaker 1>excepting of a part of the story. But anyways, it

0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.400
<v Speaker 1>was interesting, So I find all that fun stuff. Um well,

0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the thing the thing with the you know, the the

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.960
<v Speaker 1>teenager collecting, you know, it's it's a fine line between

0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.640
<v Speaker 1>collecting and hoarding. Like if you have vintage playboys. That's

0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of cool, that's kind of interesting. But yeah, once

0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:45.480
<v Speaker 1>you start printing out like pictures of Carmen Electra's boobs, yeah,

0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.200
<v Speaker 1>those exist on the internet. Those are never going away,

0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Like the Internet is not going to just delete all

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:54.000
<v Speaker 1>of those those boobs. They're gonna be there forever, like

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't need they're gonna need the hard copies. Maybe

0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 1>it was like there's gonna be an apocalypse and I'm

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna be holding all the porn and maybe yeah he's

0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:07.040
<v Speaker 1>literally CEO of boobs and now he can he makes

0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 1>money through that way. He's right, and n f T

0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.440
<v Speaker 1>like he's somehow able to like take that and transflor

0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a non fungible titty exactly nowadays. That's so, yeah,

0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 1>that's what he could have done. Yeah, I mean, so

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing like that, like just the whole experience.

0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think it was like Monday through Friday,

0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:28.760
<v Speaker 1>and it was like I drive to drive two hours

0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:30.880
<v Speaker 1>to get there. We spent a lot of time in

0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the car, a lot of time packing ship up, throwing

0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 1>it out the second floor, and just trying to get

0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 1>as close to that truck as possible. Before, you know,

0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 1>backbreaking labor. Yeah, it was, it was. Yeah, it was

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.280
<v Speaker 1>just something. Um one of the funniest parts, like you mentioned,

0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:46.760
<v Speaker 1>where it's like you're in the middle of doing this

0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, dude, I have a finance degree. It's

0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.760
<v Speaker 1>like once you also drive two hours away to dump

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.080
<v Speaker 1>that trash. You're hopping in the truck and it's just

0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.360
<v Speaker 1>like a nice quiet ride back to do the same

0:16:56.360 --> 0:17:00.120
<v Speaker 1>exact ship again and again. It's like, no, dude, four

0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 1>years of college. Dude, Yeah, this is great. Yeah, I'm

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 1>definitely like putting that degree to work. Right, It's not

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.919
<v Speaker 1>like a twenty minute ride to the dump. That's a

0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.080
<v Speaker 1>road trip. Like you're sitting back and you're just like

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:15.280
<v Speaker 1>prepping yourself mentally, like how am I going to get

0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.040
<v Speaker 1>through today? When is it gonna hit five pm? So

0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I can just absolutely do that. That was in Yeah,

0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:21.399
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't even the thing because we had to finish

0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the projective hit. I mean, dude, I was trying to

0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:27.199
<v Speaker 1>just just get the job done, you know what I mean.

0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:28.800
<v Speaker 1>It was like at this point, I think one of

0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:32.240
<v Speaker 1>the grossest pictures I received from Henry. I was on vacation,

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.399
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'm saying it was, yeah, this and

0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.159
<v Speaker 1>you have it in your notes, but I saw is

0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.439
<v Speaker 1>he sent a picture of the toilet. Oh dude, I

0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:44.119
<v Speaker 1>forgot about the math. I don't even know. I think

0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm probably have it on my phone. But it was disgusting.

0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:49.480
<v Speaker 1>It looked like the toilet hadn't been flushed in years.

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:51.760
<v Speaker 1>It was we don't know what it was. I think

0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 1>it was what we thought it was, but I think

0:17:54.520 --> 0:18:00.680
<v Speaker 1>she was brown, and like it wasn't just rus. Did

0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:02.879
<v Speaker 1>can we show that? I mean I could, Yeah, I

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:09.760
<v Speaker 1>could always share it. Um that Yeah, right, I think

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 1>about this, but there it is. It was. Yeah, it

0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:15.840
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of a lot of fun cleaning that

0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.560
<v Speaker 1>one out, and like we so well, we had to

0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.359
<v Speaker 1>like once all the crap was cleared, we pretty much

0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.119
<v Speaker 1>we had to like uninstall it, right and then like

0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:26.840
<v Speaker 1>carry it downstairs and I'm like, they're still liquid in here, dude,

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna like spill. If I spill this on myself,

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I've gone take my whole leg take out, just shop

0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.640
<v Speaker 1>like both my legs off. I'm done. I don't want anything.

0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I gotta do it. Leave the leg dude. Yeah, that

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:40.800
<v Speaker 1>was out. That was That was a lot of fun.

0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.439
<v Speaker 1>And I guess kind of like the moral to this

0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.639
<v Speaker 1>whole story, Like at the end of the day, after

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, long sleeves, jeans, boots, respirator mask, you know,

0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:55.840
<v Speaker 1>cleaning out just pure garbage in this house two hours away. Um,

0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I kind of just like had a moment where I

0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.199
<v Speaker 1>sat down, we finished up, and I was just like,

0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.600
<v Speaker 1>holy sh it, like I gotta I really gotta like

0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:06.879
<v Speaker 1>kick this job search into gear, like you know what

0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:09.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like paint like doing the painting on the

0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.880
<v Speaker 1>other projects and you know, ripping up carpets, Like yeah,

0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 1>well it's not that bad whatever. You do this for

0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:15.439
<v Speaker 1>a little while longer until I find a job. Then

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:17.399
<v Speaker 1>you get hit with the Horderhouse and you're like that's it.

0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:19.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm throwing the towel. I don't need any more of that.

0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna put this degree to work. Yeah it was,

0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was fun. Like I'll tell you, like,

0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:29.680
<v Speaker 1>nothing will bring you closer to another person than like

0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:32.159
<v Speaker 1>cleaning out of Horderhouse because like we went through that

0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:35.000
<v Speaker 1>was me, me and Alex, Like we went through that

0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:36.960
<v Speaker 1>one together and and and at the end of it

0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:38.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, dude, can we just like share a beer?

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Or something like let's just go get a bite to

0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:44.679
<v Speaker 1>eat and like just forget about that. You guys went

0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to war together, went to the battle. Yeah, but that's

0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:50.480
<v Speaker 1>what it is. It's like one of those like once

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:53.280
<v Speaker 1>it's over though, it's a story, right, I know it was.

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.200
<v Speaker 1>It was like a fun experience to like look back

0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.199
<v Speaker 1>on it because because you have to see it, like

0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:58.720
<v Speaker 1>to believe it some of this stuff. I mean, you

0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:00.960
<v Speaker 1>watch the show and that gives honestly a pretty good,

0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:03.240
<v Speaker 1>pretty good view of it. But well, I'm so intrigued

0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:05.560
<v Speaker 1>to know what it all looked like once you guys

0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.160
<v Speaker 1>were done, and then once the remodel happened, you didn't

0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:10.560
<v Speaker 1>even be able to tell incredible, you have no idea,

0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't smell at all. It literally looked incredible. And the

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:18.520
<v Speaker 1>thing is, there's such good like flip flips, fix and flips,

0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:20.720
<v Speaker 1>because at the end of the day, it's not like

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of wear and tear on the property. It's

0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:24.760
<v Speaker 1>like on the on the foundation or on anything. Really,

0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Like you get rid of the rugs and there's literally

0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:29.720
<v Speaker 1>a path that one little path that was walked on

0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:31.160
<v Speaker 1>and the rest of it just has like a couch

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:33.800
<v Speaker 1>sitting on it for twenty years, and a couple of

0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:37.400
<v Speaker 1>boxes of shampoo that have been sitting there for twenty years.

0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 1>It's so funny. It's like a path like you see

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:41.000
<v Speaker 1>just like in the woods, a defined path, but it's

0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:45.240
<v Speaker 1>like in someone's house. Literally, what if? What if the

0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:48.240
<v Speaker 1>next family that moved in was also a hoarding family

0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:50.880
<v Speaker 1>and just immediately put it right. I'll get a call

0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 1>and like I'll get a call in five years and

0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:54.159
<v Speaker 1>be like, all right, like you've done that, We've done

0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:56.199
<v Speaker 1>it once. We need you to do too. Let's go

0:20:56.960 --> 0:21:00.200
<v Speaker 1>come in. This place is way too clean. If you

0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:04.360
<v Speaker 1>start start they start picking up people's trash getting ready

0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.040
<v Speaker 1>to pick up by the dump and they're just hello, hello,

0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:14.800
<v Speaker 1>duncan donnuts needs. Uh yeah, I think that that was ridiculous. Yeah, well,

0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:17.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you made it through fond memories, you know,

0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:21.320
<v Speaker 1>needless to say. And and I will throw out there

0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:24.919
<v Speaker 1>too that if you do have hoarding tendencies, if you

0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:29.160
<v Speaker 1>are an obsessive compulsive hoarder, we'll we'll put a resource

0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:31.840
<v Speaker 1>in the description to to seek help because it is

0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:36.119
<v Speaker 1>a it is a legit really difficult situation for people

0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 1>out there. And uh, it's tough when you when you

0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 1>find yourself in that, and uh yeah, hopefully we can

0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:44.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe help you find some help to to not to

0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:47.560
<v Speaker 1>not end up in that kind of a situation. But yeah,

0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you. I'm glad you made it through. And also,

0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I think my favorite part of this story is that

0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:57.400
<v Speaker 1>like you're just on vacation duds, like popping lines into

0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:00.760
<v Speaker 1>coronas and like like jumping off a boat, and I'm

0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:04.200
<v Speaker 1>just like, I'm like busy whether I'm trying to figure

0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:05.960
<v Speaker 1>out whether I'm gonna put like cape cod chips or

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:08.640
<v Speaker 1>deritos in between my ham and cheese sand which I'm

0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:10.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out whatever to do, and then Hank,

0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm like getting sweat my eyes and like I want

0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:14.440
<v Speaker 1>to like wipe it, and then I'm like I can't.

0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I gotta take my glove off, and like like Mikey's, yeah,

0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:21.320
<v Speaker 1>just enjoying the beach and I'll just living it up.

0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:24.800
<v Speaker 1>And I would assume you'll probably never end up being

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:27.919
<v Speaker 1>a hoarder yourself. I hope not. I really hope not.

0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I'll find a couple of little things piling up, and

0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:33.000
<v Speaker 1>then you know how my flashbacks to that time that

0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:35.639
<v Speaker 1>I was cleaning all out. We started like, does this

0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:40.680
<v Speaker 1>spark joy? Now you see someone like hoarding like my rooms.

0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:44.200
<v Speaker 1>A little messy hand comes in, you know, starts getting sweats,

0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:50.840
<v Speaker 1>starts getting you know, falling down. The respirator goes on. Yeah, yeah,

0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:53.840
<v Speaker 1>let me get it. Yeah, I'm just happy I wasn't

0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:56.359
<v Speaker 1>there to experience. Yeah, I know, I know, I know

0:22:56.440 --> 0:23:06.080
<v Speaker 1>you are welcome back, Fable babies. Do you know what

0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:08.879
<v Speaker 1>time it is? It's time to let the robot in

0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:12.680
<v Speaker 1>turn out of its cage. That's right, it's robot Reddit reads.

0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:17.159
<v Speaker 1>You know, I just realized I've never really introduced the

0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:20.399
<v Speaker 1>robot turn. That's what I call up. The robot is

0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:23.080
<v Speaker 1>a robot in turn, robot turn um. But you know

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the reason why I did that is I didn't want

0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:27.520
<v Speaker 1>you all to get attached to it only to then

0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:30.119
<v Speaker 1>cancel this segment and then have to dump it in

0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the river. But you seem to really love the segment

0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:35.040
<v Speaker 1>on the Graham, so I think we'll keep it around

0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:38.760
<v Speaker 1>for now. So, uh, robot Turn, why don't you go

0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 1>ahead and introduce yourself to all the Fable babies out there? Name,

0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:48.760
<v Speaker 1>but you can call me Kyle. Okay, Kyle. Why don't

0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:51.640
<v Speaker 1>you tell us a fun fact about yourself? Let me

0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:56.360
<v Speaker 1>think I like guns. Wow, that was a really bad

0:23:56.400 --> 0:23:59.920
<v Speaker 1>place to pause. But cool, I guess. So. Do you

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:01.560
<v Speaker 1>have a Reddit threat you want to share with us?

0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Nothing would bring don't like that this time I started

0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:12.119
<v Speaker 1>by us five. They asked your best I could just

0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:15.960
<v Speaker 1>dodge a bullet. But a tactical new story. Oh that's

0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:18.159
<v Speaker 1>a good prompt, Kyle, nice, fine, all right, hit me

0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:20.800
<v Speaker 1>with the best responses. I was once the last person

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.199
<v Speaker 1>to cross the bridge before it fell. Looked in my

0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:25.480
<v Speaker 1>rear view to see what the noise was. To see

0:24:25.480 --> 0:24:27.560
<v Speaker 1>open air where there should have been road, and some

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:30.080
<v Speaker 1>white faced people who were just about to cross as well.

0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:32.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, terrifying. First question, was anyone on the bridge?

0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Second follow up question, did you see the mothman? No

0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:40.359
<v Speaker 1>further questions. I was about eleven and my dad wanted

0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:42.399
<v Speaker 1>me to come along with him to pick up some

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:45.960
<v Speaker 1>furniture about thirty minutes away. I made a huge stink

0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:49.440
<v Speaker 1>about it, basically being an annoying little male adolescent, turn

0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:51.960
<v Speaker 1>saying how I wanted to stay at home and play.

0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I'd be really good. It was boring, etcetera. He finally

0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:58.320
<v Speaker 1>got fed up and stormed out and told me to

0:24:58.359 --> 0:25:01.720
<v Speaker 1>stay put and he'd be back. About an hour later,

0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:04.600
<v Speaker 1>he comes home in a police car, pretty shaken up,

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:07.880
<v Speaker 1>and just reached over and hugged me hard. Turns out

0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:10.560
<v Speaker 1>that he was driving down the highway and traffic got

0:25:10.560 --> 0:25:13.320
<v Speaker 1>busy ahead, and this semi truck in the lane over

0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:16.640
<v Speaker 1>tried to stop too late, and jack night, it fell

0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:19.400
<v Speaker 1>over on the passenger side of the car, right where

0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:22.240
<v Speaker 1>I would have been if I had gone along with him.

0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:26.040
<v Speaker 1>The car was totaled, obviously, with the entire passenger side

0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:29.960
<v Speaker 1>crushed down flat. Actually, my dad was lucky he made

0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:33.159
<v Speaker 1>it out alive. He never made another big deal about

0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:35.680
<v Speaker 1>me coming along if I really said I didn't want

0:25:35.720 --> 0:25:38.920
<v Speaker 1>to go. I can't believe being a stubborn, angsty preteen

0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:43.199
<v Speaker 1>actually saved your life. All got me was mercilessly bullied.

0:25:43.520 --> 0:25:45.919
<v Speaker 1>When I was fourteen, I went to my best friend's

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:49.080
<v Speaker 1>house for her birthday party. A thirty year old guy

0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:51.480
<v Speaker 1>that worked for their parents asked her to tell me

0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:53.560
<v Speaker 1>that he wanted to take me out on a date.

0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:57.199
<v Speaker 1>I said I had a boyfriend. He seemed nice, but

0:25:57.320 --> 0:26:00.719
<v Speaker 1>he started following us everywhere and just standing back staring

0:26:00.760 --> 0:26:03.920
<v Speaker 1>at us. They had a huge farm. I got nervous

0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:06.720
<v Speaker 1>and called mom to come get me. Months later, we

0:26:06.800 --> 0:26:09.960
<v Speaker 1>saw his wanted poster at our grocery store. He was

0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:13.840
<v Speaker 1>serial killer Rangel over Sundays, the railway Killer. Mom didn't

0:26:13.880 --> 0:26:16.720
<v Speaker 1>believe me until it was on America's Most Wanted that

0:26:16.840 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 1>night and they interviewed my friends foster parents. Then she freaked.

0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:24.399
<v Speaker 1>Okay that one Wins literally dodged a bullet slash, large

0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 1>blunt object because that was the railway Killers. M oh,

0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:33.960
<v Speaker 1>I wonder how close I've been to getting murdered. You think, okay,

0:26:33.960 --> 0:26:35.639
<v Speaker 1>that's enough out of you. Kyle back in the cage.

0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:41.800
<v Speaker 1>You're lucky. Hey, you keep that attitude up, You're gonna

0:26:41.800 --> 0:26:45.879
<v Speaker 1>find yourself at the bottom of a river. Okay, bucko. Hey, everybody,
