0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to Ludlok Cafe. Can I take your order?

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Hi? Can I please get a large cold brew with

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:25.440
<v Speaker 1>a shot of espresso?

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:26.599
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely?

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Your name Damien?

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:29.760
<v Speaker 2>Anything else?

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 1>What do you want?

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 3>Just a black coffee.

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.920
<v Speaker 1>And the black coffee please? The name on that one

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:35.519
<v Speaker 1>is Santi.

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Great and you're actually all set on payment?

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 4>The person before you took care.

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 5>Of your order?

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>What really really?

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 4>The last twenty or so cars, I've been passing it

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 4>on paying for.

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:53.600
<v Speaker 1>The next person. Oh okay, in that case, I'll also

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>take an almond croissant and everything bagel and one of

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 1>those little cake lollipops.

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 6>Oh are you sure you don't want to pay for

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 6>the next person's order to keep the chain going?

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay? Okay, so hear me out. Oh boy, if every

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>car receives one order and pays for one order, isn't

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.839
<v Speaker 1>it essentially the same as everyone just paying for their own?

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is buying the next person's drink really altruistic

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 1>if you didn't even buy your own to begin with? Moreover,

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the first person's kindness ultimately doesn't achieve anything until someone

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>finally accepts the gift without passing it on. So, if

0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.320
<v Speaker 1>you think about it, that first person isn't able to

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>collect on their good deed until someone stops the chain, right,

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I yes, so I knew you'd understand.

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Jeez, Duane, any orphans you want to run over while

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 3>we're here?

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Am I wrong?

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 3>I think you're missing the point.

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Boo, boyo.

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 3>The gesture isn't about receiving money.

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 7>It's about making someone smile, passing on something to be

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 7>happy about, even if it's.

0:01:58.120 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 3>Just for a moment.

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Order for Damien and Santa, that's us. Well, boyo, I

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.519
<v Speaker 1>feel momentarily happy about my free drink, So I guess

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:20.079
<v Speaker 1>it worked. Hey, this isn't what I ordered. I'm awake.

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm awake.

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 3>It's Matteo. Let me in.

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Matteo dropping by unannounced. We met like a week ago,

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>one sec.

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 3>Damien, come on, open.

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:40.119
<v Speaker 1>Up, good grief, mataio chill. I prefer to be medicated

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>before receiving visitors. Is there anything better than movie characters

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 1>who take a lot of nondescript hills for some nebulous

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 1>mental illness were never told about. It's like she's tough

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>and complex. I'm coming.

0:02:54.480 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 7>Him sorry for dropping in My ball landed in your backyard.

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 1>And all my irritation at Mateo melts away when I

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>see him. It's unclear these days whether that's because of

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>him or his resemblance to Santy, but I'll take it

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>either way. I like your dorm, Clifton Hall. Baby. The

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 1>only thing more laid back than the RAS is the

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:19.359
<v Speaker 1>fire safety Protocol.

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 3>How many times have you used that one? Are you

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:25.359
<v Speaker 3>ready for the midterm?

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Mid term? He says, midterm?

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 3>You say yes, ethics and journalism.

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm really not too worried. I mean, how hard could

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 1>ethics in journalism be? Just like, don't be a dick? Wait,

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel something. It's it's a joke for me, don't

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>be a dick dick. Dick also means detective, private dick.

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 1>There it is private dick. I'm solving a mystery through

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>sex and haven't made a private dick joke until now. Ah,

0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:03.560

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.760

<v Speaker 4>I've told you many times, please do not call me Joma.

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 4>I am joke machine Model three point one three.

<v Speaker 3>Hello, any went home?

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Ah ha?

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 3>Hi?

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>What were you saying.

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 3>You're gonna regret not studying?

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.039
<v Speaker 1>Who said I didn't study? I've been deep in research mode.

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 3>Have a look porn? How is that studying?

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>It's not just any porn Mateo's threesome porn?

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.280
<v Speaker 3>Is this medieval freesome porn?

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Heck? Yah, I think it's like a king Arthur Lancelot

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Merlin thing.

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:57.279
<v Speaker 8>I've brought kings twice your size to their knees offer,

0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:58.800
<v Speaker 8>and I shall do it.

0:04:58.920 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 2>I can't.

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>All Yon Nagels good shit, right and perfect research for

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:09.600
<v Speaker 1>tonight's carnal tryad. Okay, here we go. Fifteen second recap.

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>I've been trying to question the bell boy from the

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>lead the lodge motel turned apartments, but per our metal chats,

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 1>he's only looking for threesomes. But then Matteo said he'd

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 1>be willing to be the third, even though I just

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.719
<v Speaker 1>threatened him with broken glass and anyway, that night I

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 1>DMed bellboy, hey, you still looking for a three way?

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 4>And he said sure, you got someone in mind?

0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:30.279
<v Speaker 1>And I said sure, do. When are you free? So

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 1>he said Thursday, And I said, well, I guess we'll

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 1>all go to the grave, wondering what I said next,

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>You dare test me, foul wizard past thou bull witness

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 1>to my heaving meat sword excalibur.

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Heed my warning, lest I make the mice.

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 7>Wild about the threesome thing. The more I think about it,

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 7>the more unlikely. It seems that the bell boy is

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 7>somehow connected to some system appearance and or your stalker.

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Hey, do you want to borrow my fuzzy socks real quick?

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:04.159
<v Speaker 3>What?

0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:05.599
<v Speaker 3>Why?

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:06.719
<v Speaker 7>No?

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:08.719
<v Speaker 1>I thought they might help with with your cold.

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 4>Feet calculating cold feet joke score seventy one percent sick.

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I tell you, I'm so sorry. That wasn't nice. I

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 1>just like genuinely wonder if I have impulse control issues sometimes, Oh,

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>are you mad?

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:28.360
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:32.839
<v Speaker 7>I wish you wouldn't always use humor to deflect difficult conversations.

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.440
<v Speaker 1>It's not the first time I've heard that, and I'm

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:40.039
<v Speaker 1>sure it won't be the last. Santy felt similarly. And

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I know that when multiple people give you the same feedback,

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.080
<v Speaker 1>you should take it to heart. But honestly, I find

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 1>that critique annoying. And choose to remain indignant, Like if

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.039
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't born so naturally funny and personable, I would

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.599
<v Speaker 1>just have found a different way to deflect. Okay, ignoring that,

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.720
<v Speaker 1>so you're not confident that bell Boy is a worthy

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 1>candidate to be my stalker, and let me put your

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:05.040
<v Speaker 1>a little heart at ease. Exhibit A. Bell Boy was

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>at the hotel the night Santy went missing. Exhibit B.

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.120
<v Speaker 1>After the motel, his place of employment, was turned into

0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>an apartment complex, the bell Boy became a resident there.

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 9>So what hotel employees probably got a discounted rate. Besides,

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 9>your stalker had a Crosswick bad midten hoodie, meaning they're

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 9>likely a Crosswick student or alum. If bell Boy is

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 9>the stalker when you have recognized him from school, I.

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Mean, I think you overestimate how many people here I

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 1>actually know. Anyway, Exhibit C. Twice now twice has bell

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Boy asked if I've tried the hookup?

0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 3>Okay, case closed.

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 1>That's suspicious. I mean, I mean, what if the hookup

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 1>is the code name for some secret new drug and

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:59.920
<v Speaker 1>then Santy found out about it and then he got silenced. Yeah,

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 1>I know, Hey, if you don't want to go through

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>with this. That is totally fine. Really, there's no pressure,

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 1>I promise.

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate that. But no, it's fine. I'm just psyching

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 3>myself out. Can we at least get dinner.

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 1>First dinner, before our first threesome? I mean, obviously, should

0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.000
<v Speaker 1>we invite the other guy too quick?

0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 3>We must consummate the triad of ex caliber, whilst the

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:33.200
<v Speaker 3>nights of the round table their witness. Can we turn

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 3>that off?

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to know how they consummate the triad

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:37.560
<v Speaker 1>of ex caliber.

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.959
<v Speaker 7>I'm more focused than the triad of Ludlow Hills right now.

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.320
<v Speaker 7>Anything else you can tell me about this bellboy guy

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:45.880
<v Speaker 7>an exhibit D.

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.439
<v Speaker 4>I'll show him my Exhibit D joke score below ten

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 4>percent initiating forced sleep protocol.

0:08:53.640 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Hey, that's not fair. I didn't even say it out loud.

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:12.559
<v Speaker 3>This is the Ludlow Lodge.

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, home to some of my favorite life altering tragedies.

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.959
<v Speaker 3>And it was just renovated this past summer. It looks io.

0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think renovation with a very soft r. The

0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.800
<v Speaker 1>only real addition they made was the pool.

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 3>Their pools new.

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 5>M hmm.

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 7>I was just thinking that kind of wet cement construction

0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:40.079
<v Speaker 7>could make.

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:44.400
<v Speaker 3>For easy body disposal, especially for someone with.

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 7>Easy access like a bell boy. Oh oh shit, I

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:55.719
<v Speaker 7>didn't mean that Santhia's body would need disposing of. I'm

0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 7>sure the only thing under that pool is the Native

0:09:58.240 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 7>American burial grounds.

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:07.839
<v Speaker 3>We with this albatross hospitality? Yeah, yeah, cheer up, boyo?

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 1>What did you just call me?

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:10.679
<v Speaker 5>Boyo?

0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Where'd you hear that.

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 3>From?

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 1>You?

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:17.440
<v Speaker 3>You called me that the other day?

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Did I? I guess it's possible.

0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 3>Here we are, Room three ten.

0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Take this is this mace? You brought mace to our threesome?

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 3>Duh?

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 7>You suspected this guy might be your stalker and you

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:35.680
<v Speaker 7>didn't bring any protection?

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.319
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean I brought m never mind.

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.319
<v Speaker 3>Wow, you were just about to make a condom joke,

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 3>were you?

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:42.959
<v Speaker 4>So?

0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 1>What if I was, I'd be making a Spanish inquisition

0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 1>joke right now too, if I wasn't afraid it might

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:49.280
<v Speaker 1>be offensive.

0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 3>What I'm not Spanish?

0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's why it would be offensive.

0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 7>We're walking into total uncertainty. But I'm glad you're having fun.

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh great? So is this the Damien uses jokes to

0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:04.200
<v Speaker 1>deflect from opening up and being vulnerable. Bit again, your

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 1>words not mine? But yes, hey, Damien, hold on bell Boy.

0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 1>That is so unfair, Mateo, How can you accuse me

0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.559
<v Speaker 1>of not opening up to you when you're literally the

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:22.719
<v Speaker 1>only person I've told about sansum about my situation.

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 3>Because as far as I know, you only told me

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 3>so I join you in this.

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Three okay, Hi, sorry about that. I was just enjoying

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:37.720
<v Speaker 1>some beguiling repartee with my friend Mateo, fire, come on in.

0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Unlike my chiropractor friend fake Tal, who lives just a

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 1>few floors up, bell Boy has done next nothing to

0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 1>turn this hotel room into an apartment. He even kept

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:53.080
<v Speaker 1>all the nautical hotel art. Yeah. Can I get you

0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 1>boys a drink? Sure?

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? No thanks. I like to keep my wits about me,

0:11:59.000 --> 0:11:59.600
<v Speaker 3>all right.

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.880
<v Speaker 1>A beer for Damien and some wits for Matthew m

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:06.199
<v Speaker 1>he could use some wit, all right.

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 3>So is this be legid or part of some like

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 3>role play thing?

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:17.559
<v Speaker 7>The only roleplay Damien likes involves medieval times.

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:23.280
<v Speaker 8>And mad respect little man. I think you'll appreciate these

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 8>then boom medieval weapons, print boxer breeves pretty fire right.

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Be still my throbbing. All that studying is about to

0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:40.880
<v Speaker 1>pay off. They're magnificent. Fuck well, I mean you must

0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 1>be a real weapons expert. I wonder, though, are you

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 1>trained in the art of the shoust?

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 8>I will have you off your horse and on your

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 8>back before you can say malonde.

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.800
<v Speaker 3>So uh, yeah, how long have you lived here?

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Mattyo's right, can't lose sight of the investigation?

0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.679
<v Speaker 3>What uh since the summer?

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't, I guess. And this was a hotel before that, right? Yeah?

0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:11.520
<v Speaker 3>I actually worked as a.

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.960
<v Speaker 8>Bell boy here when it was brought out to become apartments.

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.840
<v Speaker 8>They offered me discounted rent if I stayed on working maintenance.

0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, Mateo flashes me, and I told you so.

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Glance and honestly that's fair.

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what's with all the questions? Shit, wait a minute,

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:29.199
<v Speaker 3>I know who you are.

0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.559
<v Speaker 1>Who I am? I don't even know who I am? Still,

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't want him recognizing me From the night Santy

0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:40.840
<v Speaker 1>disappeared behind bell boy. I catch Mateo slowly reaching for

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:41.360
<v Speaker 1>his mace.

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 3>You're the guy I ran into last week out in

0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:45.559
<v Speaker 3>the hallway.

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh, was that you? Small world? I brought condoms?

0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Should we use them? I mean that would be the idea.

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not on prep right now.

0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 6>Or should we keep it a secret? What it could

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.480
<v Speaker 6>be an experiment. You don't know who's wearing one and

0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:17.839
<v Speaker 6>who's not. Why would we do that Schrodinger's rubber, It'll

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:19.800
<v Speaker 6>be like we're protected and.

0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Bareback followed I'm sure by Schrodinger's burning sensation, well peeing, uh.

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, thank you? Yeah, maybe next time?

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Hey, can you two hold down the fort for a sec?

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I have to use the en suite.

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, watch out for the lamp cord.

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, if I was a clue, where would I be?

0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not even really sure what I'm looking for at

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.400
<v Speaker 1>this point. I mean, Bell Boys seems pretty innocuous, and

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure Mateo would have said something if he recognized

0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:52.560
<v Speaker 1>him from the badminton team. Also, I do acknowledge my

0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 1>compulsion to criticize other people's homes, but this bathroom is

0:14:56.480 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>heinously nautical. They're literal starfish on the wall, farfish. Okay,

0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:08.680
<v Speaker 1>let's see toothpaste, Boss Carling wand oh cordless, Hi tech,

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Hey Joma, any progress on the private Dick joke?

0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 4>Joe's still invaded dead things. Please check back later.

0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Sweet. I'm pretty much ready to declare this lead at

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 1>dead end, but there's one more thing about Bell Boy.

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I want to check off the hookup? What is that?

0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 3>Which I didn't even know was possible.

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 8>I thought syphilis was mythical like camel up.

0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Hey, bell boy, who's up?

0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:34.920
<v Speaker 3>Little squire.

0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 1>On metal? You said you have the hook up? Do

0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 1>you think I could get hooked up higher?

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I thought you'd never ask. Okay, we're it up with.

0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Here we go and there it is the hookup.

0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 3>Poppers, Oh, poppers?

0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.520
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, but I mean these aren't just in me poppers

0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:05.320
<v Speaker 8>and this is the hook up?

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh fuck?

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Ellboy throws his head back, his face suddenly all red

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.440
<v Speaker 1>and flush, and the veins all over his body start

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:26.520
<v Speaker 1>to literally like pulse. I lock eyes with Potato as

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 1>if to say, is that what poppers normally do? He

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.720
<v Speaker 1>shakes his head and widens his eyes and concern, as

0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 1>if to say, not like this.

0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:41.240
<v Speaker 8>Oh man, Oh, it's like drinking from the Holy Grail.

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.640
<v Speaker 8>Here you guys drive dry before my rush words off.

0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.640
<v Speaker 7>Oh yeah, we're okay, thanks for real.

0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:52.240
<v Speaker 8>Come on, it'll make fool like the best sex you

0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 8>ever have.

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Right, it's just having the best sex of my life

0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.520
<v Speaker 1>at twenty seems like I'm setting myself up for a

0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:03.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of future disappointments. How fuck does that sound? Was that?

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Let us his neck?

0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.280
<v Speaker 3>Don't be a web. Take a fucking web.

0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:15.120
<v Speaker 1>God, you are going to regret that. Hell boys either

0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.440
<v Speaker 1>are bleeding now, like in a really not good way,

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.119
<v Speaker 1>but they're still wide open, like completely unfazed.

0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Amien, watch the lamp cordmen.

0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:41.760
<v Speaker 5>Damien, Damien, Damien.

0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.479
<v Speaker 4>You hit your head. You've been out for six minutes.

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.639
<v Speaker 4>Lasting brain damage will be significant, but you like we

0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:51.720
<v Speaker 4>won't notice the difference.

0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Why am I in the bathroom? Why am I tied

0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:00.639
<v Speaker 1>up in the bathroom?

0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.400
<v Speaker 4>I believe you're a sailant wanted you momentarily and disposed

0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:04.880
<v Speaker 4>so he could focus on Mateo.

0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:08.679
<v Speaker 3>Just take away and I will let you go.

0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Fuck Matteo, go Matyo. Well, okay, focus, How do I

0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:22.879
<v Speaker 1>get out of this twine? Is like boy scout nodded, No,

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting that untied, but I think my hand can

0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:33.919
<v Speaker 1>just barely reach the sink behind me. Uh toothpaste, dental flossy?

0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 1>What's this?

0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:40.240
<v Speaker 5>Yes?

0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Of course, the curling wand my own as caliber heating up.

0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Come on, I need to be out of his bathroom.

0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:56.960
<v Speaker 1>These goddamn starfish are mocking me, locked and loaded. Okay,

0:18:57.760 --> 0:18:59.560
<v Speaker 1>if I can get the wand up against the big

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.080
<v Speaker 1>knob between my hands. I should be able to see

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:05.000
<v Speaker 1>her through the twine and get free. The only issue

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.359
<v Speaker 1>there is that my range of mobility is mind. I

0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 1>can't get the wand to touch the knob without also

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:21.120
<v Speaker 1>pressing into my wrists. Yeah, okay, Damien, be brave. Oh

0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:26.280
<v Speaker 1>my god, fuck I can smell my flesh burning. This

0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:32.000
<v Speaker 1>is so fucked up. Sho much distract me, tell.

0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:35.560
<v Speaker 4>Me joke understood. The curling one isn't actually touching the

0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:40.200
<v Speaker 4>twine and you're burning your arm for nothing, just kidding?

0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:43.560
<v Speaker 3>Did I get it?

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:46.359
<v Speaker 1>Don't look at it. Don't look at it, don't look

0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:52.399
<v Speaker 1>at your Holy fuck, I can see bone, Jamien, you

0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.040
<v Speaker 1>starfish coming with me?

0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Just an alex, your tight.

0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:13.640
<v Speaker 1>D don't bother. We are checking out.

0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 3>What wait?

0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.399
<v Speaker 1>How did you slam bellboy from behind the honey and

0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:20.840
<v Speaker 1>he gets an ugly wallpaper sliding the starfish out of

0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:23.760
<v Speaker 1>my pocket with my free hand. My experience at the

0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Ludlow Lodge this evening has sucked ass, and for that

0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I give you one.

0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:35.800
<v Speaker 4>Star, calculating one star joke score plus ten percent for

0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:39.320
<v Speaker 4>the hotel reference, plus ten percent for the starfish stabbing

0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:40.440
<v Speaker 4>one star connection.

0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Joema, you don't have to explain my joke. Now it's

0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:47.320
<v Speaker 1>like a thing and the moment is gone and it's

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:53.679
<v Speaker 1>like uncool. But what's the score? Nine fire? Come on mateyo,

0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.119
<v Speaker 1>we have to go get up. Come on, I got you?

0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:57.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh my head.

0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Hey no, don't worry. Beat red and veiny is gonna

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:03.480
<v Speaker 1>be a very good look on you.

0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:07.120
<v Speaker 5>He was right?

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:14.920
<v Speaker 3>What when he said the hookup was like drinking from

0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:15.959
<v Speaker 3>the Holy Grail?

0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, let's get back to campus. I don't get it.

0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Why didn't you turn into a rage monster?

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. Maybe Bell Boys Hoopers was unrelated to

0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:35.600
<v Speaker 3>the hookup.

0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:40.760
<v Speaker 1>So then the hookup is just normal poppers?

0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 3>Then no, no, they're not normal poppers. I don't even

0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:51.360
<v Speaker 3>know how to describe it. When I inhaled the hookup,

0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:56.200
<v Speaker 3>it was like nothing I've ever felt. I was unbreakable,

0:21:57.480 --> 0:22:02.600
<v Speaker 3>and my lust to test that power was insatial.

0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, that was just for the before everything went wrong

0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:11.160
<v Speaker 1>segment of your intervention episode. Oh and don't even start

0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:15.159
<v Speaker 1>with the using humor to deflect nonsense. I almost seared

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:16.440
<v Speaker 1>my arm off today saving you.

0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh come on, okay, your arm's not that bad.

0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:23.800
<v Speaker 1>He's actually kind of right. I may have exaggerated earlier

0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:25.160
<v Speaker 1>when I said I could see bone.

0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:28.800
<v Speaker 7>Besides, I was only in danger because of your stupid

0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:30.040
<v Speaker 7>threesome in the first place.

0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:32.359
<v Speaker 1>I said you didn't have to go through with it, Mateo.

0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:33.480
<v Speaker 1>You had a choice.

0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:35.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, two great choices.

0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:37.600
<v Speaker 7>Put my life in danger or spend all night thinking

0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:39.720
<v Speaker 7>about the guy I like sleeping with someone else.

0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:46.200
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know you still had metal on your phone.

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:52.400
<v Speaker 4>Fuck, I'm mateyo, Damien, the private dick joke is ready?

0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:55.680
<v Speaker 1>What you've been working on that all this time?

0:22:56.920 --> 0:22:59.440
<v Speaker 4>Can I wait negative for a maximum jokes for it?

0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:00.679
<v Speaker 4>It must be deployed now.

0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:04.480
<v Speaker 1>This is bad, way bad. Like I know this is

0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 1>a moment where I'm supposed to reassure Mateo and gently

0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:10.840
<v Speaker 1>remind him that we're not dating or exclusive, and yet

0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I just can't resist.

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:13.880
<v Speaker 4>It's requesting permission to deploy joke.

0:23:15.720 --> 0:23:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll fuck it deploy. There's a lot you don't know

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:22.280
<v Speaker 1>about me, Mateo. I guess you could say I'm something

0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:28.760
<v Speaker 1>of a private dick. Are you kidding me? Joma, that's

0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the joke you've been working on all day? I just

0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:33.520
<v Speaker 1>fire bombed my relationship with Matteo for that.

0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:37.640
<v Speaker 4>Perhaps you don't understand you're private because you don't open

0:23:37.760 --> 0:23:38.080
<v Speaker 4>up a lot.

0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, Joma, don't explain your jokes ever, Miteo. Fuck,

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:43.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I don't know why I said that.

0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:44.720
<v Speaker 1>It's that thing.

0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:48.639
<v Speaker 3>I just forget it, Damien, just forget about it. I

0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:49.400
<v Speaker 3>can take a hint.

0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:52.040
<v Speaker 7>I'm a smart guy. I helped you with your little

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:54.600
<v Speaker 7>threesome question. Now you're done with me.

0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:57.880
<v Speaker 4>Perhaps a joke would lighten the mood, Joma, power down.

0:23:58.480 --> 0:24:00.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't get why you're acting like that, Like, if

0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:03.040
<v Speaker 1>you have an issue with my sense of humor, why

0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:04.159
<v Speaker 1>are you even hanging out.

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:10.280
<v Speaker 3>With me for other reasons? Damien. God, people aren't friends

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:13.320
<v Speaker 3>with you because of your jokes. They're friends with you

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:14.800
<v Speaker 3>in spite of them.

0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, then why are people friends with me, Matteo.

0:24:18.080 --> 0:24:19.679
<v Speaker 3>I don't actually think they are.

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:26.439
<v Speaker 1>Hold up, what's that.

0:24:26.480 --> 0:24:30.320
<v Speaker 3>In the drawer? This photo strip?

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Hm? Oh yeah, I forgot that was in there. It's

0:24:36.320 --> 0:24:38.399
<v Speaker 1>from a photo booth at this lame pop up bar.

0:24:38.480 --> 0:24:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I went to a son with Santy.

0:24:43.960 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 3>He looks just like me.

0:24:46.800 --> 0:24:47.480
