Yeah, so within two weeks of that or two now for two weeks about two weeks two days of that Two days of that. Okay. First of all, like the neighbors tree like half of its now in my backyard. I’m like fuck is it still there? I Uh, yeah, I haven’t gotten around to it yet. Oh, that’s so sorry, mile. That’s so terrible. I know. I’m glad I don’t live by you. Cause you’d probably be suing me by now. Or a French bit rent on this tree branch. Yeah. I know your tree landed in my mulch. You’re going to have to pay me for this space. So,I’m starting to think, like, you know, he might be right. Uh-oh. Now you’re thinking that you’ve just finally come to this realization. Yeah, it’s like one of those monster movies where the guy’s all in denial, like, oh, there’s no monster out there. And then he’s, like, the middle of the movie. He’s like, well, fuck, maybe there is. There can’t be giant rabbits. There ain’t no Bigfoot, son. Oh, shit. Holy moly. Yeah, I was like, oh, okay. Well, maybe the boy’s got a point. Bigfoot sent me over a stump. Yeah. Do it again. And, um, so anyway, that night, oh my gosh. So I make arrangements and, uh, the guy, you know, I was like, well, I can’t come out there for a week. I’m like, okay. What? A tree?The tree, yeah. There’s probably a lot of trees down. It’ll be fine. You don’t ever mow your grass anyway. No big deal. He’s like, well, let’s just wait until it dries up. Let’s give it about a few days. Next thing I know, three days later, we have three inches of rain come down in one day. I’m like, well, I’m fucked. Yeah. More tree limbs are coming down. Now your backyard’s full of tree limbs. Actually, yeah. Now my tree limb actually fell off my own tree limb. It was not nearly as big, but had it hit someone in the head, it probably would have killed them. I was like, shit. I’ll have to have Bob over more often, I guess. Anyway, so that night I could go to bed. I’m like, all right, well, I don’t like to go to bed worrying about shit. I just go to bed. How do you go to bed not worrying about things?I don’t know. I just shut, I normally could shut it off. I don’t know why. I’m like, Oh yeah. Cause I fall asleep really fast. Well, between that and the suffocation, everyone wins out. So that night I’m sleeping and I, all of a sudden, uh, like this dream starts. And like one of my sisters is like, Oh man, she goes, our mom is writing like checks to like her local church. Like, her yearly Christmas donation. Okay. But she wants to give it to the church early this year. Mm-hmm. He goes, isn’t that weird? I’m like, oh, fuck. That is weird. Like, maybe she knows, you know, like, you know, like, oh, shit. Oh, fuck. Like, I literally woke up, like, two o’clock in the morning and almost called my mom. I’m like, are you okay? Because now… This little shit has cursed me.He had to scrape off the curse and put it on you. Yeah, he did. He bounced it on me. First of all, he tells me something horrible is going to happen, which the tree happened. And then he’s like, oh, this horrible dream happened. Then I have somewhat of a similar dream somewhat. Like, okay, that little shit happened. Why? Why? Why did I deserve it? Why did it bounce my way for? I’m bouncing back. I shake it off. I don’t want it. Give this to Bob LeBent. I don’t want it. I don’t want any of your weirdness. I’m bouncing it to you. There’s no bouncing. Yes. It’s like the ring. Once I tell this story, it’s going to happen to you. Once you listen to it, it bounces to you. No. It’s like the ring video. I don’t know what you’re talking about.The Ring, isn’t that the movie where you watch the videotape and then… No, I have no… I don’t know what you’re talking about. Okay. Okay. All right. Well, I hope it doesn’t come to fruition. I know. I’m like, fuck. Because I haven’t really called my mom yet. I’m like, fuck. If it does… I know. You know who I’m blaming. I’m going to feel like an asshole. I know. I’m like, fuck. That’s what you feel all the time. Well, yeah, that’s true. I am an asshole. I am a freaking jerk. Well, I’m sorry your son feels that way. I know, you know, being in his familiar, you know, familial, familial? What’s the family? His family situation. Yeah. You know, the relations and all. Mm-hmm. He would feel cursed.Yeah, you know, you get down, you know, things happen. I mean, you know, look around. Yeah. Yeah. He’s like, this guy’s like one step from an iron lung. Yeah, no kidding. So, you know, but I think it’s okay. I think it’s going to be fine. I’ll be honest. It’s going to be fine. It’s going to be okay, right? Oh, yeah. That’d be fine. Yeah. Maybe it wasn’t grandma. Maybe it was just somebody who looks like grandma. And why was my sister in the dream? Well, you look like your mom, so. I look a lot like my dad. Yeah. I was trying to draw a connection to you. I look like my daddy. Yeah, you do look like your dad. Handsome. There’s no mistaking. There’s no mistaking. A little bit of Clark Gable. Yeah, remember, like, a long time ago, they had those apple people where they’d take and, like, make their face out of an apple, and it’d be all dried up and craggly. Yeah, you’d cook the apple or something, wouldn’t you? Yeah, that would you guys, the apple people. We do look alike. I mean, we do. Male or female. Yeah, male or female. Yeah, all this. Yeah.Although my brother does not look like my dad. That’s weird. mailman? It’s been theorized. Because actually, he has my grandpa’s name, who coincidentally was also a best friend of my mom and dad, that name. Coincidence. That guitar playing son of a bitch. I wonder if he’s my brother’s. Yeah. Hmm. Weird. You know, I mean, I want to talk out of turn here, but somebody I know had a, you know, extra child go on. Go on. I’m just saying. I’m not going to say any more than that. I’m going to get in trouble, so I won’t say any more than that. I don’t know. No one I know. Nobody you know had an extra kid or anything? No. Really? You mean like a bastard, you mean, or what? Yeah, yeah, that’s a grown-up child, yeah.I don’t know. Was that you? I don’t know. I have no idea what you’re alluding to. I don’t know. Okay. Well, I probably shouldn’t have said anything. Let’s change the subject. I don’t know. I really don’t know. I don’t know. Let’s change the subject. I guess. I would like to hear this off the air. I don’t know. Refer to me. I know it’s not me. No. Well, heck, come on. You would flaunt it. Let’s be honest. Yeah. That’s my kid. Yeah. Yeah. Well, if my dad was like super, super, super rich, I’d be like, that is my dad. Otherwise, I’ll just claim my dad as my dad. Gotcha. Okay. Nothing against my dad. I’m just saying. Actually, I know several people who have an extra child. Now that I think about it. Dr. J. No, Dr. J doesn’t. He’s probably got three or four.No, I don’t think so. I don’t know. I have no idea. I don’t know. Well, I’ll tell you about it later. Anyway. All right. Go ahead. I don’t know why I brought it up. I guess I was just thinking about it. You and Roberta? No, not Roberta. That girl you used to work with at the library, Roberta? No, not Roberta. You were wanting to bang her? You were like, hey, come here. No, there was no interest in Roberta ever. She seemed interested in you. Well, that may have been. I’ve had several opportunities with the wacky and weird side of Roberta. Wasn’t she the one that wanted to sit, like, really close to you all the time? You’re like, no, get away. Yes, I tell her, get away from me. Arms length. I think I used to say that. Arms length, Roberta. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. I don’t know what we do here. I can’t touch you. Uh-uh. It’s more of a guideline than a rule. Yeah. No. Well, everybody. Yeah. Remember? Yeah. In college, I had a job.I worked at the library in what was called at the time the Self-Instruction Center. Yeah. And Miles was rich and didn’t have a job. By choice. That’s correct. Yes. Yeah. And then he would come out and hang out at my job and talk to all the interesting people that I worked with. Looking back, I probably should have gotten a job. I don’t know how I thought about that. Yeah, well, you could have got a job. You were there enough. You could have just got a job. I know. I could have. Shit, I would have made like $20,000 at least. I don’t know about that. That was back like 40 years ago. Yeah. Back then, I don’t think I made no $20,000. But yeah, it was a good job, though. Honestly, it was one of the better jobs on campus, if you ask me. But this guy in the library.You’re in the library. Those guys handed out cassette tapes and headphones for three hours a night. Got paid for it and got to do my homework in between. Yeah. He’s getting a whopping $5. Remember I handed out bones. You don’t remember that? I’m not sure what that’s code for. No, I handed out boxes of bones. You don’t remember this. I was not in that class. No. We had, so at the Sulphur Church Center, we had all kinds of stuff. We had a lot of cassettes and headphones and film strips. And this is before, you know, had films and videotapes and all kinds of stuff. Yeah. This is before digital. And what we used to have for the med students, we’d have boxes of bones. I was not brought in on this.Oh, no, I used to get them out and tease people with them. No, no. Because we had skulls. Never happened. Yes, and we had arms, and we had hands. I would remember this. I would remember this. You did not. You did. I’m sure you did, but you did not share. I used to love to get the hand out and go up to people and touch them on the shoulder, and they’d freak out. It was a bone? Does it have a bony hand? Oh, my God. Hey, Roberto, let me touch your titties with this. No, I didn’t do that. Come on. Yeah. But, no, we did. We had bones. And the thing was, they were real bones. Not all of them, but they were actual, like, human, pieces of human skeleton. We had femur, I think. Roberto, you want to see a real bone? We did not have, like, you know, hips or anything. Labia.I don’t think those are bones, my friend. We didn’t have, you know, hips or, you know, I think we had some vertebrae. We had some ribs. It wasn’t like you had the whole skeleton. You just had like pieces and parts. Taint. Taint is not a bone. In the song, you don’t go, you know, and the tailbone is connected to the taint bone. it’s in a little jar, you know, clear liquid. You’re like, I can’t believe that i never got, well, maybe because whenever you were there, you were always talking or something, but yeah, I used to get them out all the time. I was just making fun of your co-workers i was like, it was like three hours just to make fun of people downtime and thenBut yeah, we’d get the bones out and I’d freak people out and stuff. I honestly do not remember that. I’d hold my hand up and I’d hold on to the bony hand. I’d be like, hey. This is something that’s been kept secret from me for a long time. I don’t think it was a secret. I swear I would have remembered this. I would have remembered this. Yeah, it was great. And so some people didn’t like handing out the bones because they were actual human bones. But I apparently didn’t have a problem. Yeah. But it was a great, you know, you go huff the mimeograph stuff back in the. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was a good time. Very good time. And. Yeah. I always would find that this was the days of the copy cards. So it was kind of like a little like a charge card, but for copying the using the. Right. Yeah.And people would leave them on the copiers all the time. And so I had all these free copies. That was great. Bob would resell these things for a huge profit. No, I would just use them. I would just use them. I made a zine. I made a zine. Yeah. But I didn’t have any money. So I had to use the free ones. And I had money. And you had money. And you were like spending it crazily at Wendy’s. I know. Every night. I’m going to Wendy’s. Too bad I didn’t develop a horrible cocaine habit. Yeah. You just had a Wendy’s habit. Yeah, I got a fat habit. All right. Extra cheese on mine. All right. Put in some bacon. I’m not walking. I drive everywhere. I’ve got a car. I stole a box of bones. What?The thing is, you could not take it out of the library. You had to stay in this area that we were cordoned off with. That’s probably a good idea, yeah. Yeah, and then we were in the basement as well, so it meant not a lot of traffic. I wonder if it even exists anymore. I doubt it. I’ll have to find some schematics. It’s very much a… a product of its time. Yeah. Yeah. This is like, you wouldn’t need it anymore. So yeah, everything’s online. You know what I mean? So you wouldn’t like the guy, like all the guys lectures are just, we’re on tape. Like, well, can we just go to his class and listen to this or something? No, no. That was the whole class. It was a psychology class. Yeah. Literally the only time you went to class was twice a year, once for the midterm and once for the final. Um,Every other time you listened to all his lectures on cassette. It was Bullshit Psychology 101, I think. Yeah, exactly. He was the most popular class and everybody came… I can’t remember his name. I don’t even know. But he would come down every once in a while and he’d be like, do I need to replace any cassettes? Yeah. And I’d be like, not that I’m aware of. Because he thought they would get worn out. But the reality was people weren’t even listening to him. I actually listened to him. Well, they would come and they’d put in it. Because you had to sign it out and everything. So he got the log, right? I think I tried to bag him for an A. I’m like, listen, I did a lot of work. I did all the extra credit. You’re going to give me a B plus if it’s bullshit. Well, he passed everybody. I think I even took that class.He’s like, no, no, no. You’re never going to get an A. Not you. I think I have a psychology minor, don’t I? I think I do. I do. I do. Yeah, I think I got a psychology minor as well. I took the effects of recreational drugs. Oh, that was probably a good class. That was an actual class, yes. Yeah. It did not have a lab, though, to it. Yeah. What do you mean the lab was just walking around? Hey, man. Go over to the Stevenson Arms and you can pick up anything you want. Yeah, chlamydia, tuberculosis. Then was there like a TB outbreak in that building? Yes, there was a TB outbreak at the Stevenson Arms. There was like a dorm called Stevenson Arms. They called it the armpit.CB, if you’re listening to this, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Yeah, CB will be totally tuned in to this. I think I went over to visit or something like, oh, everyone’s got TB or something like, I’m out of here. F you. F you. Oh my gosh. We had a friend that lived there and, uh, I dropped in on him once and like, I think he just got done screwing this girl or something. I don’t know. Yeah. Cause she was asking where her, her pants were bumping. I don’t know. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, he wanted me to come in, though. Miles, come on in, man. Yeah, come on. I wonder what happened to him. You know, I don’t know. I think he was a sound guy or something. Yeah, he was working in the movies. I think he did live up in Chicago, I think. Oh, really? Him and Joel’s Sack of Potatoes, yeah. Sack of Potatoes, yeah. Good old Sack of Potatoes.But, yeah, crazy times. Oh, goodness gracious. Oh, the good times. Handing out real skeletons to students and listening to cassette tape. Did you ever clean out those headphones, by the way? Would you, like, get alcohol and clean them? Yeah, I sprayed them. It was like bowling, you know what I mean, where you spray the stuff on them and you wipe them down. Did you, like, do it, like, for every use so you didn’t be like, well. Yeah, I was very diligent about that. No. You work with some nice people. We got to make fun of a lot of nice people there. Oh, yeah, and we talked all about, you know, private matters. Very private. You know, looking back, I didn’t realize how much you were pushing the envelope. I’m like, man, this guy. Yeah, trust me. I mean, I should be in jail for a little bit of harassment, but you should be in jail for a lot of harassment. I don’t know about that. Come on. Yeah, I’m a whole…Yeah, you were asking some very personal questions. I think that’s a little flippity-flop. How much do you weigh? I think I know. How much do you weigh? Well, I was guessing. I was very good at guessing. Yeah, yeah. That’s just a clean one. I can’t even talk about it. That was a skill I was developing in college. What was your body count? What’s your body count anyway? I don’t know. Never ask about that. Come on. No, you were classy. You wouldn’t ask. Classy? I just asked how much you… I bet you weigh 145. God damn it. You were asking about menses. I think it came up in a conversation. I don’t think I started that. That you started. No, I did not start that conversation. You did.You did. I saw you doing the hand motions and everything else. You were doing it. You were doing like the okay sign and then you had like your next finger with the other hand. No, that’s yeah. No. Yeah. That was a topic of conversation I remember one night. But I did not bring it up. Somebody else brought it up. Yeah, you. Yeah. No. The frog in your pocket then. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. No, I think it was a frog in her pocket. Yeah. Okay. Well, oh, she just brought this up on her own. Hey, just so you know, as I recall, I don’t get too close because as I recall, there was some complaining about the monetary spend of men and women. Okay, yeah. Okay, I’ll go with you on that. On a regular basis. And I’m like, what are you talking about? I go, what are you buying that I’m not buying? Yeah. Well, Bob, I have a monthly issue that I have to pay for that you don’t. Okay, this might be true. Okay, this might have happened. I go, well, I mean, how much can that be?That was kind of a personal question. No, she brought it up and I’m like, well, what are we talking here? Are we talking like $20? I mean, this is, you know, back in the nineties. She’s paying like five bucks a month for plugs or something. Five bucks a month. Yeah. That’s what she said. And I’m like, why really five bucks? And at that time, five bucks, shit, that was like two lunches for me. That’s like two hours of work for you guys. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I mean, it was not cheap, really, huh? The college paid nothing. Yes. It was like, you know, it was just in my end wage. It was so minimum. They didn’t even spell out the word. So I’m like, so yeah, I was shocked that it was that much. And I feel bad for him. Like, yeah, you’re, I guess you’re right. Yeah.I’m like, you do. And then she continued, you know what I mean? And makeup. And I’m like, okay, now wait a minute. I don’t remember that part. I think I was too shocked about the whole, yeah. And then I’m like, you know, you don’t have to buy makeup. She’s like, what are you talking about? And then she’d get all mad at me because I said, you don’t have to buy makeup. It went on and on for the whole night. Yeah. And I think at the time she was trying to get money out of her, her parents were divorced or something. Out of her father to pay for this. Wait, her plugs? Yeah. Oh. It was something very convoluted like that. Her parents were divorced, and she was trying to get money out of her father. Oh, she had daddy issues, and I didn’t know that. Ah, well. No, I don’t know. Maybe. I don’t play that card. Why don’t you tell me that? It wasn’t Mies. Mies had daddy issues, like, from the get-go, but yeah. Yeah.God damn, that girl. I burnt that bridge pretty clear. Oh my gosh. I can’t even see what I did there. Yeah, that was… Anyhow, now you remember. Okay, you might be right about this. I did guess people’s weight. That was true. I think you started that. Oh, no, no, no. That’s got Bob Lament written all over it. I’m pretty sure that was you initiated one of those. I’m like, yeah, I’ll do that. I’m good at guessing. Yeah, they both should have been suspended at that point. Probably. Thank God. It was only the early 90s. Do you know, I just want to say, hey, I’m sorry with the whole Me Too thing. All of a sudden, I don’t know. If you want to sue Bob, go ahead, because he made me do it. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, sue him. Yeah. All right. Enough of that. But $5 back in the 90s, that was really a lot. Yeah.
