But yeah, this episode, we're diving into more.
00:01:48.137 --> 00:01:52.677
We kind of realized we didn't have true introduction episode,
00:01:52.677 --> 00:01:58.497
episode so this is kind of going to be that a few episodes in kind of diving into more how we met,
00:01:59.217 --> 00:02:07.757
more into what college was like as a millennial those early 2000s to 2010,
00:02:08.777 --> 00:02:15.757
was in college and we can kind of discuss some of our favorite memories and,
00:02:16.711 --> 00:02:19.931
Maybe say some nice things about each other. But yeah, we'll dive right into
00:02:19.931 --> 00:02:23.011
that. Jordan? Don't push your luck, Eric, on the nice thing.
00:02:25.191 --> 00:02:28.171
Yeah, so Eric and I are old. At least we feel old.
00:02:28.411 --> 00:02:33.951
So we both graduated high school in 2006, I think? Yes. Okay.
00:02:34.471 --> 00:02:40.051
So, you know, my story really quick is I obviously grew up in New York and got
00:02:40.051 --> 00:02:43.911
recruited to the school Johnson & Wales, which I thought was a culinary school.
00:02:44.371 --> 00:02:47.271
And they sold me on this idea of like having a sports
00:02:47.271 --> 00:02:50.491
program and at the time i was what 17
00:02:50.491 --> 00:02:53.811
year old doesn't want to go to college for sports management
00:02:53.811 --> 00:02:56.511
and you know johnson of wales's whole
00:02:56.511 --> 00:03:00.051
recruiting pitch is like yeah come get a bachelor's degree and you
00:03:00.051 --> 00:03:02.831
know you can get a degree in sports management you only go to school
00:03:02.831 --> 00:03:05.771
monday through thursday and you know my family
00:03:05.771 --> 00:03:08.811
at the time was relocating to north carolina and lo
00:03:08.811 --> 00:03:12.631
and behold johnson of wales had very recently opened a
00:03:12.631 --> 00:03:15.631
north Carolina campus I want to say we were what like the third
00:03:15.631 --> 00:03:19.231
or fourth class that started at JW Charlotte third
00:03:19.231 --> 00:03:22.751
yeah third and you know life
00:03:22.751 --> 00:03:26.071
doesn't always take us you know the directions we want and I was
00:03:26.071 --> 00:03:28.811
supposed to start in the fall and didn't I made a
00:03:28.811 --> 00:03:31.771
very 18 year old decision to go fall for love which
00:03:31.771 --> 00:03:37.151
god has been a reoccurring horrible thing for my life and uh
00:03:37.151 --> 00:03:40.071
moved to Chicago for a few months put college on hold
00:03:40.071 --> 00:03:42.831
that didn't work out shocker 18 year old making a
00:03:42.831 --> 00:03:45.851
decision like that and started in the spring
00:03:45.851 --> 00:03:49.511
because Jonathan Wells was on trimesters which is a little different so
00:03:49.511 --> 00:03:53.731
instead of having basically like two halves of the year there's like three-thirds
00:03:53.731 --> 00:04:01.191
and moved in and did not like my first roommate we did not get along I wish
00:04:01.191 --> 00:04:06.831
him all the best he was a psychopath and then I don't think I met you Eric until.
00:04:07.551 --> 00:04:10.831
Was it the following fall or was it that year I don't remember.
00:04:11.742 --> 00:04:15.622
It was the i think it was the fall of 2007.
00:04:16.502 --> 00:04:19.682
It's the winter term first day
00:04:19.682 --> 00:04:25.202
of winter term was a winter term yeah first day of winter term so but so that's
00:04:25.202 --> 00:04:29.582
kind of how you know stumbled into eric and you know the cool thing about johnson
00:04:29.582 --> 00:04:33.762
wheels is obviously you meet like mighty people and like most male friendships
00:04:33.762 --> 00:04:37.942
it was like hey i like sports hey i like sports cool You want to be friends? Sure.
00:04:40.942 --> 00:04:45.302
That's kind of how I feel like it went down. But E, I'll let you kind of tell
00:04:45.302 --> 00:04:46.482
your side of that love story.
00:04:48.402 --> 00:04:52.022
Yeah. I started actually around this time.
00:04:53.102 --> 00:04:56.842
I don't know if it's still the case, but I started my first term in college
00:04:56.842 --> 00:04:59.262
in 2006 after Labor Day weekend.
00:05:01.482 --> 00:05:05.222
I had been in North Carolina for a couple of years, did a right-ass job.
00:05:05.222 --> 00:05:08.122
I was looking for something kind of close to home.
00:05:08.282 --> 00:05:12.982
I had applied elsewhere and just decided it was a smaller fit.
00:05:13.522 --> 00:05:16.802
Smaller school is going to be better for me, half hour from home.
00:05:17.422 --> 00:05:22.702
So I stayed on campus and did the college life. Maybe a little too much,
00:05:22.802 --> 00:05:24.082
I will admit that, first term.
00:05:24.842 --> 00:05:29.722
Kind of screwed up academically a little bit. But turned it around after that.
00:05:30.202 --> 00:05:35.102
As Jordan mentioned, his 18-year-old dumb decision, that was mine.
00:05:36.165 --> 00:05:42.145
But yeah, and then after having to take a couple classes, having to take class
00:05:42.145 --> 00:05:49.725
the next year in the fall, that's when I met Jordan II in the follow-up class in that year.
00:05:50.445 --> 00:05:54.785
And then it just kind of, as I say, the rest is history.
00:05:55.625 --> 00:05:59.965
And that's where we ended up. I don't remember what class it was we met in.
00:06:00.065 --> 00:06:03.145
I'm trying to sit here and think. It was probably a core class.
00:06:03.345 --> 00:06:06.325
It was facilities, I believe. was it was that
00:06:06.325 --> 00:06:09.965
was that wasn't with norman was it no fisher fisher
00:06:09.965 --> 00:06:12.825
that's right joe fisher but then we also
00:06:12.825 --> 00:06:15.665
the thing with johnson and wales is like you know
00:06:15.665 --> 00:06:18.465
you end up getting a lot of the same classes together because you're
00:06:18.465 --> 00:06:21.305
in the same graduating class with the same people in your major
00:06:21.305 --> 00:06:24.225
so like you get a group of like
00:06:24.225 --> 00:06:27.105
50 to 100 people that you just kind of see more than
00:06:27.105 --> 00:06:30.505
other people yes so and just
00:06:30.505 --> 00:06:33.565
you know like i kind of you know men were
00:06:33.565 --> 00:06:36.205
much simpler creatures and it was like hey bro i'm gonna go
00:06:36.205 --> 00:06:39.845
out and grab a beer you want to go out and grab a beer sure and then you know
00:06:39.845 --> 00:06:44.685
at some point you know our love of sports kind of brought us together and just
00:06:44.685 --> 00:06:48.125
we just kind of realized like hey this guy's pretty cool this guy's pretty cool
00:06:48.125 --> 00:06:51.985
sure and we just kept hanging out and then we started taking the same classes
00:06:51.985 --> 00:06:53.765
together and then we eventually lived together,
00:06:54.285 --> 00:07:00.385
yes um so i don't know if eric wants to divulge into some of the funness of
00:07:00.385 --> 00:07:04.605
us living together i'll kind of piggyback in we have a lot of stories we're
00:07:04.605 --> 00:07:06.385
going to try to condense yes.
00:07:07.345 --> 00:07:14.885
Into so what what was it like going to college in like the late 2000s and you
00:07:14.885 --> 00:07:17.845
know not knowing that like you were going to meet like one of your best friends,
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:29.559
I am grateful that social media is not where it's at now with that first year of college.
00:07:31.599 --> 00:07:33.839
Though, because Facebook was
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:39.279
kind of starting and Facebook then was exclusively for college students.
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:46.359
And yeah, I mean, if you could go through your old photos and see them,
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.999
yeah, it's, yeah, I'm glad there's not as much evidence.
00:07:49.499 --> 00:07:54.459
Of much of my college life. I like how you use the word evidence there.
00:07:56.079 --> 00:08:00.299
We grew up in a day where not everybody had a camera phone ready and willing.
00:08:00.579 --> 00:08:02.699
Or if you did, it turned out really blurry.
00:08:03.299 --> 00:08:06.719
Yeah, it was like a flip phone, or I think I had a slider phone for a while.
00:08:06.899 --> 00:08:09.459
So this wasn't 4K resolution pictures.
00:08:09.739 --> 00:08:11.699
We were still texting T9 in 2010.
00:08:12.039 --> 00:08:14.799
We still had MySpace pages, which we haven't done.
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.719
I did still have my MySpace freshman year of college.
00:08:19.859 --> 00:08:23.059
I think I had mine too, but it was kind of phasing out at the time.
00:08:23.179 --> 00:08:28.139
Just go watch the movie, The Social Network, about the storm formation of social media or Facebook.
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:32.779
And I think that movie does a great job of like explaining like what it was
00:08:32.779 --> 00:08:34.239
like going to college back in the day.
00:08:34.319 --> 00:08:37.719
Cause you know, I remember, I don't think it was face mash, but it was one of
00:08:37.719 --> 00:08:40.639
those like very early on versions of like swipe right or swipe left.
00:08:41.579 --> 00:08:45.739
Yeah. I mean, there was, there was a lot and we'll, we'll do the social,
00:08:45.979 --> 00:08:48.559
we'll do a social media thing as well episode, but,
00:08:49.079 --> 00:08:52.619
yeah that was just yeah thankfully
00:08:52.619 --> 00:08:56.179
there's not much evidence out there for sure
00:08:56.179 --> 00:09:01.199
you know eric i always think about like some of like the fun stuff first of
00:09:01.199 --> 00:09:04.999
all we got away with a lot and the timeline for like the stuff we talk about
00:09:04.999 --> 00:09:08.959
will probably jump all over but to me college was just kind of one big four-year
00:09:08.959 --> 00:09:13.199
blur for many alcohol related reasons.
00:09:14.605 --> 00:09:17.385
I know one quick funny story, and it's definitely one that is just quick,
00:09:17.425 --> 00:09:22.125
but it's also really funny. But we had moved into this apartment called City View Towers.
00:09:23.125 --> 00:09:27.025
And City View, first of all, was awesome because it faced the Bank of America Stadium.
00:09:27.405 --> 00:09:30.405
So if you got out like a dorm facing the stadium where the Panthers play,
00:09:30.985 --> 00:09:36.025
you could literally listen to the games on Sunday through the stadium speakers. It was really cool.
00:09:36.885 --> 00:09:39.925
But I remember we were moving in, and Eric knows the story I want to tell.
00:09:40.585 --> 00:09:43.905
We were walking towards the elevator because at the time, I think there was
00:09:43.905 --> 00:09:46.045
only one elevator to get in and out of the building.
00:09:46.525 --> 00:09:49.385
No, there, there are two, one on each side. Okay.
00:09:49.725 --> 00:09:53.525
So we were walking like, this was a, this was our apartment that faced,
00:09:54.265 --> 00:09:58.945
actually, I like that apartment better, by the way, our first one did face Bank
00:09:58.945 --> 00:10:00.625
of America stadium. So that was cool.
00:10:01.745 --> 00:10:06.425
But we actually had the view of uptown like on that side. I really liked that one better though.
00:10:06.985 --> 00:10:11.085
Yeah. Yeah. Charlotte is a very pretty city. At least it was,
00:10:11.085 --> 00:10:14.525
i've been down there recently and it's becoming too much because
00:10:14.525 --> 00:10:18.165
back when we were there there was still like space to grow but with
00:10:18.165 --> 00:10:22.605
the baseball stadium and stuff like that now i think it's incredibly congested
00:10:22.605 --> 00:10:27.085
but anyway we were walking which eric and i i think at that point we were everybody
00:10:27.085 --> 00:10:31.105
knew we were buddies you know you really didn't ever see me without you or vice
00:10:31.105 --> 00:10:34.825
versa again we were always going out and either getting food in a house to eat
00:10:34.825 --> 00:10:37.205
or going for a beer in Uptown.
00:10:37.725 --> 00:10:40.965
And our RA, Kurt, at the time, stopped us.
00:10:42.365 --> 00:10:45.225
And I remember him looking at us and going, have you guys seen a motorcycle?
00:10:46.025 --> 00:10:48.185
And Eric was like, motorcycle?
00:10:48.905 --> 00:10:53.585
And as Eric finished saying the word motorcycle, the elevator door pings and,
00:10:54.165 --> 00:10:58.005
outrolls a kid that lives in our building with a motorcycle.
00:10:58.525 --> 00:11:01.925
Did I, like, that one?
00:11:04.085 --> 00:11:08.105
And it was this kid Mike Palmer. And I mean, I don't know if we should change
00:11:08.105 --> 00:11:12.485
names for these stories, but Mike was a very well-off kid and a great guy.
00:11:12.905 --> 00:11:13.505
I mean, I didn't ride him.
00:11:14.565 --> 00:11:18.505
But, you know, he had one of those really fast Rice Rocket Ninja motorcycles.
00:11:19.305 --> 00:11:22.885
And Johnson of Wales was very particular about parking. You have to pay everywhere
00:11:22.885 --> 00:11:24.925
in Charlotte to park. You have to pay to take a pee in Charlotte.
00:11:26.205 --> 00:11:29.505
But, you know, Palmer had a little Ninja motorcycle and they were literally
00:11:29.505 --> 00:11:32.425
towing anything that was in the parking lot that didn't have a sticker on it.
00:11:32.865 --> 00:11:36.125
And Mike thought he could just stash his motorcycle in his room.
00:11:38.605 --> 00:11:42.985
The timing of that maybe it's funnier if we like you could be there but like,
00:11:43.505 --> 00:11:46.845
just the fact that like we were asked if we saw a motorcycle and then here comes
00:11:46.845 --> 00:11:48.085
this kid rolling one out of the elevator,
00:11:49.085 --> 00:11:54.465
yeah the timing of that was just perfectly timed Palmer,
00:11:55.625 --> 00:11:59.285
what's the more shenanigans we got in 2E oh man,
00:12:00.645 --> 00:12:11.445
in college trying not to incriminate man I mean we never really did like true shenanigans stuff but.
00:12:12.859 --> 00:12:19.319
I would have to say, man, it's okay, Eric, you can tell a story.
00:12:19.499 --> 00:12:22.359
If it embarrasses the hell out of me, I'll take one for the team.
00:12:22.819 --> 00:12:25.659
I can think of one in particular that I knew you want to talk about.
00:12:25.739 --> 00:12:29.599
Cause I wrote somebody's name down on our like pre-show rundown.
00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:33.399
And I know the exact, you can tell that one. It's okay.
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:38.659
I have a fun spin to that side. I know you did because it's,
00:12:38.899 --> 00:12:41.279
there's an embarrassing side for me as well.
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:48.219
Um that will probably come out in this episode but yeah it was halloween we had we had fun,
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:52.219
i had assist i'd helped uh our other
00:12:52.219 --> 00:12:55.799
roommate miles and his girlfriend
00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:58.579
at the time that are at the freshman part at the
00:12:58.579 --> 00:13:02.139
dorms half mile away with their
00:13:02.139 --> 00:13:09.659
trunk or treat and so we're there kind of helping us help them out and jordan
00:13:09.659 --> 00:13:13.959
i don't know why you didn't go i can't remember the reason but i think i was
00:13:13.959 --> 00:13:18.899
too drunk i think i just wasn't vibing that night so yeah so anyway,
00:13:19.459 --> 00:13:25.879
jordan's in his room these are the apartments were four bedrooms and jordan's in his room.
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:36.459
And miles miles miles i come back and we go right you can stand up and then
00:13:36.459 --> 00:13:37.459
there's a knock on our door,
00:13:38.732 --> 00:13:42.472
And I haven't met him, I didn't meet him until this night. It was yours,
00:13:42.752 --> 00:13:46.352
yours and Miles' roommate from the previous year, Luke.
00:13:47.232 --> 00:13:51.872
One of my favorite people. Can I quickly describe Luke to everybody? Please do.
00:13:52.432 --> 00:13:56.992
Okay, so I got to preface this by saying I love everybody.
00:13:57.532 --> 00:14:01.052
I do not care who you are. I do not care the color of your skin.
00:14:01.052 --> 00:14:06.932
To be very stereotypical, I will only judge you by the content of your character. Thank you, MLK.
00:14:07.232 --> 00:14:09.532
Yes. So this kid moves in.
00:14:10.072 --> 00:14:13.452
Me and Miles don't know who he is. We just see his pictures and think,
00:14:13.572 --> 00:14:16.012
oh, this is an Abercrombie-looking kid. Cool.
00:14:17.972 --> 00:14:23.292
Luke walks in our room, and the first thing he does is sashay his way in,
00:14:23.712 --> 00:14:27.492
and in only the most RuPaul way, say, hey, bitches.
00:14:28.232 --> 00:14:31.052
And me and Miles knew exactly what we were signed up for at that point.
00:14:31.292 --> 00:14:34.552
So Luke was arguably the,
00:14:34.672 --> 00:14:37.472
and I don't mean this in any driver, he was probably the gayest person i ever met
00:14:37.472 --> 00:14:40.752
but also the most genuinely lovely people
00:14:40.752 --> 00:14:43.692
you'll ever meet yes would agree with
00:14:43.692 --> 00:14:46.452
that very genuine very and like
00:14:46.452 --> 00:14:49.292
he never he never made me
00:14:49.292 --> 00:14:52.212
feel weird or uncomfortable and i'll tell a funny story when harry's
00:14:52.212 --> 00:14:55.152
done telling this but just i just wanted to really preface this by saying like
00:14:55.152 --> 00:14:58.172
luke is to this day i
00:14:58.172 --> 00:15:01.052
don't talk to him much anymore but like just again
00:15:01.052 --> 00:15:04.552
the sweetest most genuine person to this day i don't know if he knows what kind
00:15:04.552 --> 00:15:09.172
of impacting me not me but like he was just such a good funny guy and there
00:15:09.172 --> 00:15:12.852
was never a dull moment and it was never awkward because he was gay he would
00:15:12.852 --> 00:15:16.732
always kind of pick on you like if he knew you were overly straight he would
00:15:16.732 --> 00:15:20.292
kind of needle you a little bit so all right back to eric story,
00:15:21.012 --> 00:15:25.112
this is the person that shows up at our door eric continue the story thank you
00:15:25.112 --> 00:15:30.872
yes and i don't remember the costume fully.
00:15:31.912 --> 00:15:35.272
But I believe he was a nurse.
00:15:35.832 --> 00:15:41.632
If I remember correctly, because this is now going back 17 years,
00:15:42.512 --> 00:15:50.892
so I don't really remember why, but he comes in and introduced myself and Miles,
00:15:51.732 --> 00:15:53.932
and we go, he goes, where's Jordan?
00:15:54.212 --> 00:15:56.352
And I go, he's in his room, sleeping.
00:15:56.972 --> 00:16:02.152
And Luke just smiles. And I point him into Jordan's room.
00:16:02.372 --> 00:16:06.552
Miles and I follow because we have a feeling something's happening here.
00:16:07.772 --> 00:16:19.552
And Jordan's on his bed. And Luke quietly sneaks on the bed and starts spooning Jordan.
00:16:20.952 --> 00:16:22.052
I'm sorry.
00:16:23.792 --> 00:16:25.072
Oh, my God.
00:16:26.156 --> 00:16:29.436
And it took a little bit.
00:16:30.296 --> 00:16:34.436
It took a little bit. All of a sudden, Jordan turns around, and Luke,
00:16:34.576 --> 00:16:36.656
I can't remember what Luke said, but it just said something.
00:16:37.056 --> 00:16:41.916
He said, good morning, sweetie. I'll never forget it. And he's, again, full drag.
00:16:42.996 --> 00:16:46.556
Full drag. And I knew I was drunk that night.
00:16:46.816 --> 00:16:49.656
But, like, I don't know if we ever had the moment where you were like,
00:16:49.796 --> 00:16:51.876
holy crap, did I drink that much?
00:16:52.676 --> 00:16:56.716
It was one of those moments. But yeah, he said, good morning,
00:16:56.856 --> 00:16:58.516
sweetie. Yes, that's what it was.
00:17:02.236 --> 00:17:06.796
Luke, that was, again, that was one of those moments where my first question
00:17:06.796 --> 00:17:10.016
was, did we? Luke said, no, we didn't.
00:17:11.476 --> 00:17:17.536
As Miles and I are laughing our asses off. Oh my God. Yeah, you guys were just pissed laughing.
00:17:17.896 --> 00:17:20.056
And, you know, the first question was, did we?
00:17:20.436 --> 00:17:24.456
And then the next question or the next statement from Luke was, but would I?
00:17:24.576 --> 00:17:27.776
Yes and i said luke that that's great but no
00:17:27.776 --> 00:17:30.936
i couldn't help
00:17:30.936 --> 00:17:34.776
it man gay dudes love the teddy bear but i
00:17:34.776 --> 00:17:37.616
don't know if we want to keep talking about luke and i want to continue embarrassing
00:17:37.616 --> 00:17:44.276
myself no oh you can you can embarrass me now okay all right so again the wonders
00:17:44.276 --> 00:17:48.616
of living with eric y'all is eric is a big country music fan i don't you still
00:17:48.616 --> 00:17:51.956
are i think yeah you know And me,
00:17:52.276 --> 00:17:55.856
I'm more the metalhead, definitely the metalhead. There's no more of that.
00:17:56.236 --> 00:17:59.776
Mind you, I like all genres of music. And at some points in college,
00:17:59.976 --> 00:18:02.336
I was coached in a government country music college. Same here.
00:18:02.516 --> 00:18:06.596
I mean, Jordan and I influenced each other in music.
00:18:07.016 --> 00:18:11.816
Yeah, I took Eric to his first metal concert, and Eric took me to my first country
00:18:11.816 --> 00:18:15.036
show where we saw a very early career, Jason Aldean. Yes.
00:18:15.696 --> 00:18:20.116
But so, you know, Eric and I, that's another thing we have in common. we both love music.
00:18:20.296 --> 00:18:23.096
So like, we don't really care the kind of music. We both are very passionate
00:18:23.096 --> 00:18:29.916
about music. And I don't think either of us have a singing voice to save our life. No. And we did.
00:18:31.026 --> 00:18:34.526
You tell the road trip story but yeah that
00:18:34.526 --> 00:18:37.506
would be another episode but man the road trip story was
00:18:37.506 --> 00:18:42.586
fun but so anyway you know with college everybody has different schedules everybody's
00:18:42.586 --> 00:18:47.746
doing their thing eric very securely thinking he was by himself and i don't
00:18:47.746 --> 00:18:51.946
remember why i came home early that day i might have just ditched class which
00:18:51.946 --> 00:18:54.686
honestly at johnson and wales i I probably did too much,
00:18:54.846 --> 00:18:58.746
but I got good enough. I finished for the 3.2 GPA.
00:19:00.466 --> 00:19:03.286
So I walk in the house, and I hear this music playing.
00:19:04.006 --> 00:19:08.846
And the way our room was broken up was you walk into the kitchen in the dining
00:19:08.846 --> 00:19:11.986
area, and then you go to the left, and there's two bedrooms,
00:19:12.226 --> 00:19:16.266
a vanity, and a shower, and a toilet. Then you go to the right, and it's the same thing.
00:19:16.826 --> 00:19:20.166
I hear Eric's music playing, which, again, was very common for our apartment
00:19:20.166 --> 00:19:22.846
because we always had music playing. We always liked jamming out.
00:19:22.846 --> 00:19:26.806
So a lot of OAR, Eric and I, Eric helped me develop my love of OAR.
00:19:27.706 --> 00:19:32.646
But Eric was in the shower singing Red High Heels by Kelly Pickler.
00:19:33.886 --> 00:19:38.166
Now, I don't know how many people listening to this podcast know that song,
00:19:38.306 --> 00:19:40.246
but it is not the most masculine song.
00:19:41.126 --> 00:19:46.146
Now, I could have just... No shame. No, own your filth, bro. Own your filth.
00:19:47.046 --> 00:19:50.386
So yeah, I remember Eric was in the shower.
00:19:50.386 --> 00:19:54.266
And rather than just ignoring him or doing something rude and a flush on the
00:19:54.266 --> 00:19:55.826
toilet I let him finish his song,
00:19:57.506 --> 00:20:00.706
I'll imagine his surprise thankfully he was wearing a towel when he walked out
00:20:00.706 --> 00:20:05.906
to see me sitting there pissing myself laughing and the look on his face realized
00:20:05.906 --> 00:20:11.366
I just heard his shower karaoke version of Red High Heels that was.
00:20:13.246 --> 00:20:19.026
18, 16 years ago to this day we cannot talk about country music without maybe
00:20:19.026 --> 00:20:21.046
cracking up a little bit because Eric so,
00:20:22.226 --> 00:20:28.506
no that was thank you for letting me do some self-deprecation Eric yep no problem,
00:20:29.526 --> 00:20:33.686
what else what other some fun members we have from back in the day say it's
00:20:33.686 --> 00:20:34.886
that St. Patrick's Day was fun.
00:20:36.221 --> 00:20:38.921
You remember it i'll let you tell a
00:20:38.921 --> 00:20:41.641
saint patrick's story that that's a funny that's got a funny ending to it
00:20:41.641 --> 00:20:44.381
yeah so saint patrick's day
00:20:44.381 --> 00:20:49.741
god what year was that was that 2009 no we're on the other side yeah that was
00:20:49.741 --> 00:20:54.881
2009 because we were facing big america sure because canada canada's room was
00:20:54.881 --> 00:21:04.301
across from us we were diagonal that's valid yep yeah yeah so where we were and where canada was,
00:21:04.601 --> 00:21:08.741
we call him Canada because he was originally from Toronto, so we call him Canada.
00:21:09.181 --> 00:21:10.921
Well, there are two Canadas, by the way.
00:21:11.441 --> 00:21:17.381
There's a Canada that got hit by the car, and then there's this Canada who lived
00:21:17.381 --> 00:21:24.661
on the balcony next to us, or I can't even describe how that angle, but yeah, so it's St.
00:21:24.781 --> 00:21:30.121
Patrick's Day, and it's like, okay, let's just, I was 21 at the time,
00:21:30.281 --> 00:21:36.301
the only one who was 21 at the time, and And so I was in charge of buying the stuff.
00:21:37.021 --> 00:21:42.661
So I bought, we didn't want anything heavy, so I bought a bunch of Killian's,
00:21:42.861 --> 00:21:50.921
I still love Killian's to this day, Killian's Irish Red, and we drank and watched Boondock Saints.
00:21:51.901 --> 00:21:56.081
Naturally, you should do. Right. And love that movie.
00:21:56.521 --> 00:22:02.601
And so we're on the, just before we watched Boondock Saints, we're already drunk.
00:22:02.601 --> 00:22:06.641
We're just gonna take a break we're on a balcony and canada comes out what you
00:22:06.641 --> 00:22:10.421
guys doing hey we're about to watch booting dock saints can i was like can i
00:22:10.421 --> 00:22:13.261
watch yeah come on over yeah i'll bring,
00:22:13.841 --> 00:22:19.941
i can't even say this without my stomach kind of going right now he brings a bass ale over.
00:22:22.761 --> 00:22:28.081
And we've been drinking killings and all that but yeah so we were just,
00:22:29.037 --> 00:22:32.477
that scene in beer fest it's like we're drunk
00:22:32.477 --> 00:22:36.417
but it's like more buzz than anything and
00:22:36.417 --> 00:22:39.917
then you have the that one thing it all of a sudden just triggers
00:22:39.917 --> 00:22:45.957
everything that was the bad sale so we just walk we do everything we watch the
00:22:45.957 --> 00:22:52.677
movie did we do a drinking game that night i feel like we took a sip of beer
00:22:52.677 --> 00:22:57.357
i don't remember we looked up like a boondock saints like every time this happens,
00:22:58.457 --> 00:23:02.137
And I just remember being hammered by the time the movie was done.
00:23:02.857 --> 00:23:10.917
We were next to the trash recycling room where our apartment was.
00:23:12.017 --> 00:23:17.897
And at one point, I take out a paper bag full of glass bottles,
00:23:18.197 --> 00:23:23.817
go out the door, stumble 10 feet to the other door, open the door, drop it.
00:23:23.837 --> 00:23:26.717
And I go, did you guys hear that?
00:23:31.357 --> 00:23:38.557
Yeah a lot of if you ever drop a bag of glass bottles from six stories up it
00:23:38.557 --> 00:23:45.557
makes a cool sound but anyway yeah i don't remember much else,
00:23:46.907 --> 00:23:55.127
And then you had an early class that day, the next day, that you attended. I didn't.
00:23:55.567 --> 00:23:59.307
Yeah, I think because that was like my 7 o'clock in the morning class.
00:23:59.387 --> 00:24:01.427
Yeah, you had an early class, and you went to that.
00:24:01.647 --> 00:24:08.727
I slept in a little bit for our first class, which was media relations with Weber.
00:24:09.407 --> 00:24:16.947
And I go and I'm hung over but not as bad because I could sleep in an extra hour or two.
00:24:19.147 --> 00:24:25.487
Yeah, I throw Jordan under the bus. Well, again, we were inseparable back then.
00:24:25.627 --> 00:24:30.587
I mean, we weren't like at each other's hip, but like, we were literally beat us in butthead.
00:24:30.787 --> 00:24:35.187
So like, one of us was, the other one was. So for Weber being this old dude
00:24:35.187 --> 00:24:38.867
from Wisconsin, knowing it was the day after for St.
00:24:38.947 --> 00:24:41.547
Paddy's Day, and to see Weirdo, but not Angie.
00:24:41.947 --> 00:24:46.247
He asked me. He straight up asked me. Yep. Where's Jordan?
00:24:46.987 --> 00:24:50.547
And he's hungover. Okay. And he just continued walking.
00:24:54.367 --> 00:24:57.427
Yeah, that was it.
00:24:57.947 --> 00:25:02.467
But yeah, it was just a great... He called me that day.
00:25:03.147 --> 00:25:08.847
You remember that part? He took your phone and called me. And I gave him my phone to call you.
00:25:09.287 --> 00:25:13.867
Yeah, I was at home, again, just dying from, because I didn't get drunk by the
00:25:13.867 --> 00:25:15.087
red. I'm going to pride myself on that.
00:25:15.207 --> 00:25:17.587
Back then, I was an iron tank. I could drink a lot.
00:25:18.007 --> 00:25:22.267
Real good. But when you mix Killian's with probably liquor of some variety,
00:25:22.327 --> 00:25:28.587
and then you put bass ale on top of it, that was a special kind of hangover potion we had.
00:25:28.727 --> 00:25:32.727
And I was just not feeling it that day. That was the kind of day where,
00:25:32.727 --> 00:25:34.867
like, you sleep because sunlight hurts.
00:25:37.182 --> 00:25:40.342
And I got through my first class and was not having it. But yeah,
00:25:40.482 --> 00:25:44.602
I remember we're getting woken up at like 1230 in the afternoon.
00:25:45.182 --> 00:25:47.782
And I was you. I think I said something rude, like, what's up,
00:25:47.902 --> 00:25:48.822
shithead, or something like that.
00:25:49.542 --> 00:25:53.082
Yep. And I just hear Weber go, oh, hey, Jordan. And I was like,
00:25:53.202 --> 00:25:56.522
what the fuck? You son of a. Yeah.
00:25:58.122 --> 00:26:03.782
But yeah, that was probably a good one. But it was, yeah, college then.
00:26:05.002 --> 00:26:08.662
As a millennial was kind of was great you didn't have all the social media and everything,
00:26:09.682 --> 00:26:13.282
we had fun with all that but there's
00:26:13.282 --> 00:26:16.202
also moments where it was
00:26:16.202 --> 00:26:19.142
yeah i don't know i mean class projects
00:26:19.142 --> 00:26:21.902
are kind of fun too hey eric speaking of
00:26:21.902 --> 00:26:24.902
class projects you want to tell everybody our favorite class project story
00:26:24.902 --> 00:26:27.762
same same this is the same class that we just talked
00:26:27.762 --> 00:26:31.062
about by the way with the same professor media relations with
00:26:31.062 --> 00:26:34.722
uh yep so there's two
00:26:34.722 --> 00:26:38.062
parts to this that were great we had
00:26:38.062 --> 00:26:41.182
to pick a was it a charity or
00:26:41.182 --> 00:26:46.902
yeah we had to pick a charity of any type and we had to create like an event
00:26:46.902 --> 00:26:51.442
for it yeah we had to create like a media packet and like present to the class
00:26:51.442 --> 00:26:56.962
like a press conference yeah like hey we're announcing this event and it's happening
00:26:56.962 --> 00:26:59.302
this and this is the charity and this is what we're doing.
00:27:00.202 --> 00:27:04.462
So per usual, me and Eric got paired up in a group and we had a couple other
00:27:04.462 --> 00:27:07.482
people. I don't remember the specifics of who else was in that group.
00:27:09.557 --> 00:27:13.317
What did we end up like i don't remember what our topic was i just remember
00:27:13.317 --> 00:27:21.137
we dressed up so we did the humane society that's right and we spent one of
00:27:21.137 --> 00:27:27.397
the one of the classes we borrowed a the gopro camera and went to the humane
00:27:27.397 --> 00:27:29.517
society and filmed the dogs and,
00:27:30.117 --> 00:27:34.297
created this video and i
00:27:34.297 --> 00:27:37.837
don't know whose idea it was but one
00:27:37.837 --> 00:27:41.277
i think we picked the best song out of everything i don't
00:27:41.277 --> 00:27:45.657
remember so that bad yes it
00:27:45.657 --> 00:27:50.517
was will you be there that's right and then
00:27:50.517 --> 00:27:53.597
we didn't we pick like celebrities we had to be yeah so
00:27:53.597 --> 00:27:56.457
we yeah so we we decided to
00:27:56.457 --> 00:27:59.577
kind of add a little twist to be like we'll be
00:27:59.577 --> 00:28:02.277
what celebrities are part of
00:28:02.277 --> 00:28:05.637
like causes for animals and all that
00:28:05.637 --> 00:28:08.697
so we find it i think it
00:28:08.697 --> 00:28:11.617
was i don't remember who else one was somebody was
00:28:11.617 --> 00:28:17.237
britney spears don't remember one was ellen degeneres sanchez ashley sanchez
00:28:17.237 --> 00:28:23.697
and she was britney spears yep somebody was ellen degeneres you were brett michaels
00:28:23.697 --> 00:28:30.737
which was hilarious of course the metal head has to be brett michaels and i went as brad paisley.
00:28:31.897 --> 00:28:36.197
Which me having to go buy a wig y'all I did not know where to buy a wig so we
00:28:36.197 --> 00:28:41.277
went to Party City and I bought a Hannah Montana wig,
00:28:41.997 --> 00:28:47.197
and if you've ever seen me which don't that's why I'm on a non-video podcast
00:28:47.197 --> 00:28:51.617
I'm very bald right now and did not face for a blonde wig,
00:28:52.657 --> 00:28:57.277
yeah it's hilarious but yeah we crushed it and.
00:28:58.772 --> 00:29:01.452
Remember being told it was
00:29:01.452 --> 00:29:04.552
the least professional presentation he'd ever
00:29:04.552 --> 00:29:09.372
seen but he didn't grade on professionalism you
00:29:09.372 --> 00:29:12.392
and i i always feel like eric whenever we had classes and projects
00:29:12.392 --> 00:29:15.252
together we always were on the same mindset like we didn't want
00:29:15.252 --> 00:29:18.672
to be the same you know because like we went
00:29:18.672 --> 00:29:22.112
to powerpoint university so like everybody did
00:29:22.112 --> 00:29:24.852
a powerpoint and like when you have to sit through a class where
00:29:24.852 --> 00:29:27.832
everybody's giving presentations it's the same thing
00:29:27.832 --> 00:29:30.852
over and over again so i feel like our approach which always
00:29:30.852 --> 00:29:33.592
made us again friends is like we try to
00:29:33.592 --> 00:29:36.572
think not like taco bell but like outside the box
00:29:36.572 --> 00:29:40.552
so like sure we could have just given like a boring powerpoint presentation
00:29:40.552 --> 00:29:45.072
with a well shot video or we could dress up and i think we were the only group
00:29:45.072 --> 00:29:50.432
to really dress up and like commit to it we were yeah so got a good grade on
00:29:50.432 --> 00:29:53.932
that one But continue the other half of the story Because this is where it gets funny,
00:29:54.592 --> 00:29:56.672
So we presented one day,
00:29:57.372 --> 00:30:01.652
The next groups were Presenting the next class day Well.
00:30:03.532 --> 00:30:10.512
Between presentation Day one and presentation Day two we had Watched a South Park episode,
00:30:11.172 --> 00:30:17.552
And it's one of my Favorite South Park episodes to this day It is the Purity
00:30:17.552 --> 00:30:21.812
Rings Rip on Disney, Jonas Brothers episode.
00:30:23.032 --> 00:30:28.892
And, oh God. So, we... I'll fill in some context.
00:30:29.152 --> 00:30:33.492
If you haven't seen that episode, they portray Mickey Mouse as this character
00:30:33.492 --> 00:30:35.292
that is an authoritarian asshole.
00:30:35.832 --> 00:30:41.832
And he beats the crap... Yeah. And like, they make him like a real person that runs Disney.
00:30:42.072 --> 00:30:44.332
And he beats the crap out of the Jonas Brothers.
00:30:44.692 --> 00:30:47.972
And by the end of the episode, ends up getting angry
00:30:47.972 --> 00:30:51.392
and becomes a parade float setting the city on fire yeah
00:30:51.392 --> 00:30:54.212
um and to this day yeah eric i'm over
00:30:54.212 --> 00:30:57.292
here trying not to laugh thinking about it because it is the funniest
00:30:57.292 --> 00:31:00.492
episode i've ever seen it it
00:31:00.492 --> 00:31:03.912
cut one of the things like it just it just caught me off guard on
00:31:03.912 --> 00:31:07.912
that episode and it just anyway so
00:31:07.912 --> 00:31:11.592
we're watching that doing something for another class as
00:31:11.592 --> 00:31:15.452
we're watching it and we live
00:31:15.452 --> 00:31:18.972
we're talking about it the next day and one of
00:31:18.972 --> 00:31:22.892
the groups does make a wish great
00:31:22.892 --> 00:31:27.432
a great great cause great presentation
00:31:27.432 --> 00:31:34.352
great cause everything was great jordan and i are sitting in there and all of
00:31:34.352 --> 00:31:43.412
a sudden of the make a wish group post a picture of the jonas brothers with mickey mouse.
00:31:45.032 --> 00:31:50.732
And Jordan and I just look at each other and immediately look away because we
00:31:50.732 --> 00:31:55.532
are now trying not to laugh at the worst possible time.
00:31:57.827 --> 00:32:00.947
And to this day, I don't know how we didn't burst out laughing.
00:32:01.367 --> 00:32:04.887
Dude, I'm laughing now thinking about how. Laughing now, yeah,
00:32:05.187 --> 00:32:08.087
we can. But laughter in that presentation, no.
00:32:08.947 --> 00:32:13.727
Yeah, that was so rude of us to do that. Like, these people put a lot of hours
00:32:13.727 --> 00:32:14.807
and effort into this project.
00:32:14.927 --> 00:32:17.267
And here's these two idiots just laughing their ass.
00:32:17.607 --> 00:32:24.227
I held it in. I wasn't trying to laugh. I couldn't. I couldn't help it. Yeah.
00:32:26.127 --> 00:32:33.087
So, yeah. that's kind of it really on that but or jordan why don't you take
00:32:33.087 --> 00:32:37.947
it yeah i guess you know the one thing i want to touch on and then we'll try
00:32:37.947 --> 00:32:40.427
to say nice things about each other which good luck,
00:32:41.347 --> 00:32:44.147
you know one thing eric and i developed and it's something that
00:32:44.147 --> 00:32:47.027
i think as our friendship has continued is like we obviously are
00:32:47.027 --> 00:32:51.407
friends and we like each other we care about each other the most plutonic
00:32:51.407 --> 00:32:54.327
way but we always had this thing where we always had a balcony
00:32:54.327 --> 00:32:57.807
wherever we lived at we had a balcony and when
00:32:57.807 --> 00:33:01.347
one of us will be having a bad day you know
00:33:01.347 --> 00:33:05.827
as a man especially in your early 20s being vulnerable is kind of really hard
00:33:05.827 --> 00:33:09.847
to do which i have all kinds of commentary on that and as i've gotten older
00:33:09.847 --> 00:33:14.447
and really gone through some shit i have some commentary on mental health but
00:33:14.447 --> 00:33:21.087
you know i i don't hide how i feel very well and iric i'll let you speak to yourself on that one but.
00:33:22.413 --> 00:33:26.653
Could tell when i'm having a bad day yes is that safe to say and i think i could
00:33:26.653 --> 00:33:30.173
tell when you could and when you care about somebody you learn their face and
00:33:30.173 --> 00:33:31.773
their facial expressions and,
00:33:32.973 --> 00:33:39.393
you know so we developed the balcony into a safe space where if one of us was having a bad day,
00:33:40.173 --> 00:33:43.413
it developed i think it's just us having these long talks
00:33:43.413 --> 00:33:46.213
out on our balcony and sometimes they would
00:33:46.213 --> 00:33:50.013
be five minutes dude i feel like sometimes we were out there hours and
00:33:50.013 --> 00:33:52.753
we would close the door and we would just sit out there and just
00:33:52.753 --> 00:33:57.913
talk and we were in our early 20s we had no idea what kind of bulldozer life
00:33:57.913 --> 00:34:01.473
was going to hit us with so i think if in hindsight we were to re-watch those
00:34:01.473 --> 00:34:06.633
things we'd be like wow you were stupid but you know it was the honestly like
00:34:06.633 --> 00:34:10.973
the best part of our friendship back in those days because i could be i mean
00:34:10.973 --> 00:34:12.113
we went through breakups.
00:34:13.013 --> 00:34:16.033
And hardships and struggled financially you know
00:34:16.033 --> 00:34:18.833
eric one thing again without getting too mushy about
00:34:18.833 --> 00:34:22.793
our friendship but like it was never like bro
00:34:22.793 --> 00:34:25.773
i'm broke i don't have any money for food it would
00:34:25.773 --> 00:34:28.573
be i'm going to the store what do you want to eat
00:34:28.573 --> 00:34:31.313
and it was never are you
00:34:31.313 --> 00:34:34.113
going to chip in i didn't ask that i said
00:34:34.113 --> 00:34:37.333
i'm going to the store what do you want to eat but the
00:34:37.333 --> 00:34:39.973
balcony was safe spot and we developed it to
00:34:39.973 --> 00:34:42.793
this day you know to this day i can call eric
00:34:42.793 --> 00:34:46.033
and be like bro i need a balcony session and at
00:34:46.033 --> 00:34:49.673
that point you just let the person talk and it's
00:34:49.673 --> 00:34:52.453
non-judgmental and you know it's just an
00:34:52.453 --> 00:34:58.073
awesome thing so you know the balcony sessions are important i think we all
00:34:58.073 --> 00:35:03.353
need people like that and you know just e you know i don't know where i'd be
00:35:03.353 --> 00:35:07.213
today you know without you and balcony sessions and i'll say some more stuff
00:35:07.213 --> 00:35:10.513
about you because i can i can joke about it But, you know,
00:35:10.693 --> 00:35:13.893
what was your opinion and thoughts of the creation of the balcony session?
00:35:14.913 --> 00:35:20.073
Yeah, pretty much the same. It was free therapy.
00:35:21.953 --> 00:35:25.713
Just talk it out and, I mean, you hit the nail on the head.
00:35:25.813 --> 00:35:31.533
It wasn't, I mean, we've seen each other in our highs and lows and been there
00:35:31.533 --> 00:35:37.073
for breakups and beginning of relationships where we're questioning,
00:35:37.333 --> 00:35:38.873
why are you even seeing this person?
00:35:39.673 --> 00:35:45.553
More me than you on that one but hey man i don't want to hear that tone out of you sir,
00:35:46.413 --> 00:35:53.253
but yes but anyway yeah it was great it's a great session it was great to have
00:35:53.253 --> 00:35:57.673
and it's always good to have someone to talk to someone you can rely on and
00:35:57.673 --> 00:36:01.293
be there and that really defines our friendship,
00:36:02.053 --> 00:36:07.973
aside from the common interest is just someone there's just two friends being there for each other.
00:36:09.531 --> 00:36:13.791
I and you know i just i
00:36:13.791 --> 00:36:16.471
really i really value our friendship you know
00:36:16.471 --> 00:36:19.951
i think we all go through different stages in life and you
00:36:19.951 --> 00:36:22.711
know we give each other a lot of shit if you guys don't hear that through
00:36:22.711 --> 00:36:25.451
this podcast we really do eric is right you know
00:36:25.451 --> 00:36:28.711
i'm definitely like the romantic of the two of us i have
00:36:28.711 --> 00:36:32.671
fallen hard for some people that did not deserve it in my life and i will continue
00:36:32.671 --> 00:36:37.531
to do so unfortunately because you are what you are and you know it's what makes
00:36:37.531 --> 00:36:40.471
me and eric very different because i'm definitely more the person that puts
00:36:40.471 --> 00:36:44.951
themselves out there i think i'm probably more outgoing obviously i'm in sales
00:36:44.951 --> 00:36:47.291
or at least i was and i've always.
00:36:47.811 --> 00:36:51.331
Just kind of been a bull in a china shop when it comes into relationships so
00:36:51.331 --> 00:36:56.911
like eric especially now you know anytime i tell him remotely i'm entertaining
00:36:56.911 --> 00:37:02.391
a relationship i always get the same batman smacking robin meme back to me and
00:37:02.391 --> 00:37:05.631
deservedly so and i know that's eric's way of calling me a stupid ass and i
00:37:05.631 --> 00:37:08.991
need to stop what i'm doing and you know on the other side you know,
00:37:09.471 --> 00:37:13.191
it's always you know you being like man i just kind of want to find somebody
00:37:13.191 --> 00:37:18.791
and like i've been there and you know like if i ever need somebody to give me
00:37:18.791 --> 00:37:20.191
an honest opinion of a situation
00:37:20.631 --> 00:37:25.431
but do so in a way that i know he's not judging me he just wants to see me happy,
00:37:25.951 --> 00:37:31.071
that person's you and i'm just i'm grateful for our friendship and you know
00:37:31.071 --> 00:37:33.451
i know our podcasts have come and go over the years.
00:37:33.911 --> 00:37:40.031
This is my favorite one we've done because it's a lot more open and honest and just fun.
00:37:40.431 --> 00:37:43.931
I don't want this to feel like work. I want this to feel like I'm talking to my friend for an hour.
00:37:44.731 --> 00:37:49.131
But just, yeah, Eric, you're a good dude. You really are. And I just appreciate our friendship.
00:37:49.411 --> 00:37:53.131
I'm glad, you know, I wish we didn't have to pay the student loans back.
00:37:53.271 --> 00:37:57.251
We have to pay back. In hindsight, I hate that neither of us have careers that we got degrees in.
00:37:57.451 --> 00:38:00.331
But, dude, I would do it all over again
00:38:00.331 --> 00:38:06.591
if I knew I could walk through life with a friend as good as you so i did say
00:38:06.591 --> 00:38:12.771
that speech for the wedding you gotta get somebody first pal okay i'm over one
00:38:12.771 --> 00:38:17.791
on that okay so you i i i've i've had my wedding shot,
00:38:18.411 --> 00:38:23.611
probably never again but that's all i got to say i just i'm thankful for you
00:38:23.611 --> 00:38:27.731
and i think you're a great guy and you know i'm gonna continue doing this podcast
00:38:27.731 --> 00:38:30.091
as long as it's me and my friend and talking about it and having fun.
00:38:31.071 --> 00:38:34.691
Yeah, I mean, I agree with all that. Yeah, I mean, you've been there.
00:38:36.304 --> 00:38:42.484
Sport for your 21st birthday where I dragged you around low speedway to meet
00:38:42.484 --> 00:38:44.704
up with my friend at the time.
00:38:45.164 --> 00:38:48.404
Don't bring that story up. You're going to upset me after I said something nice about you.
00:38:49.384 --> 00:38:54.804
But yeah. But yeah, we've been through a lot. Yeah, I mean, I would definitely do it all over again.
00:38:55.964 --> 00:38:59.124
Just very, very appreciative of your friendship.
00:39:00.524 --> 00:39:04.424
Always been there. No, you always will be. So, thank you.
00:39:04.884 --> 00:39:08.484
Yeah, thank you for finally admitting that Emmett Smith will always be better
00:39:08.484 --> 00:39:09.504
than Barry Sanders. Nope.
00:39:11.724 --> 00:39:15.324
No. All right. That's, I had to throw that at you I had, man. I'm sorry.
00:39:16.364 --> 00:39:20.664
But, but yeah, that, that'll wrap up this episode. I know we got a little sentimental
00:39:20.664 --> 00:39:25.244
at the end that it wasn't really anything in particular, millennial,
00:39:26.164 --> 00:39:31.724
but we just wanted to kind of really do a full, more intro type episode which
00:39:31.724 --> 00:39:36.164
we should have done at the start, but we do promise we'll go into more millennial
00:39:36.164 --> 00:39:41.044
topics next week thank you for listening and take care bye everybody.
