There's some people peppers, welcome to another episode of Jesse and Wilder's Guide to Life. I'm Jesse, that's Wilder, and we are back. Tell them about our ton better hyattas. Yeah.

I bought it like a idiot. I bought a house. I've been telling them never. Do anything, adult.

It's stunk. So I won't give you the long of it because it would be too long. But the last two months have basically been a fight between us in the lone company and then a fight between us in the house we bought. And we said, please house, just have electricity, please house.

Have you won any of the fights? We haven't won a single fight is the problem. Well we did win the fight with the Glone company. They did give us the big loan, but it feels like a loss because they were like whoopsies got you.

You can have this house now that has a small curse on it. But it's cool. We're grooving. So here I am two months later in my freakin' house I own.

Yeah, good job. Good job. I suppose. Don't catch me getting suckered into that shit.

It's a one and done for me. I'll probably die in this one. We'll burn it to the ground out of spite. One of the other.

Those are going to be awesome. Oh good. You got power in it though, eh? Newly and inconsistently.

But yes, there is power in it. Why'd you ask me if we had power? Probably because of the topic, huh? Probably because of the topic.

It's going good so far. You know it doesn't have power? Not me, but a lot of North Carolina right now. Do you know why?

No, why? Because there is an individual, sort of gentleman bandit, going around shooting power boxes and whoa! Cuz it's white spread power out. Oh no!

Wait, a real Robin Hood, if you will. But stealing from no one and giving to no one. Correct. Stealing from everyone, I guess, the power.

Wait, I gotta look this up. North Carolina power bandit. It's a we declared a state of emergency. I'm seeing it now.

You weren't, there was no hyperbole when you said state of emergency. No, they've declared a state of emergency. What the fuck? Man, that's what.

We came up with it. This is okay. This is kind of sick. Not the fact that you have a power bandit on your hands.

That's deadly. That's actually horrible. That's like a home alone situation. But we came up with this topic like two months ago and it was before I moved into a house that the power would be regularly out of.

And obviously well before your state declared a state of emergency because of power bandit. Yeah. Power bandit is what I call my dog. Mm-hmm.

Shut up, Telly B. What is it? I'm not going to the show. Oh man.

I don't, oh man. I can't now, boy, it's going to be hard for me to get over this news. Also, no stupid. I am.

We decided to do this topic and then right before I start recording, Kate was like, don't forget to mention the power bandit. And I had actually forgotten. I almost went through this entire episode. You know what pissed I would have been?

I would have been so pissed. Let's get, let's crack into it. Let me give you cast of characters for power outage. Let me give you very not quite lit.

It's power bandit. Are we sure it's very not quite lit? No, I'm sure I'm quite sure. I'm quite sure that power bandit.

Okay. What if it was like the day of your big presentation at work and power bandit rolls up and pulls out a six-shooter and gives that breaker box what for and now you have to give your presentation. A whole other topic, which is is there ever a time when you want a power outage? I still think no.

Okay. Interesting. Okay. All right.

All right. All right. All right. I'll put it in one, but I'll be honest.

We'll just bump the microphone. It's been a while. You want to go like time of occurrence as a category and then you could put your little fucking before the big presentation, which I probably spent a lot of time preparing for. Do you know me?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a bunch kind of guy.

Yeah. Okay. Wait. Can I have to go back to power bandit one real quick?

Please. This is like a fucking, there is like a zodiac element to this. I'm sure you know about this. No.

About 9 p.m. Saturday and a count. I don't know what account it doesn't say like on Facebook or anything. An account under the name Emily Grace identified in her bio as Emily Grace Rainey posted, The Power is out in Moore County and I know why.

In a second post just a few minutes later, she shared a picture of the Darkin Theater with the caption Sunrise Theater God Will Not Be Mocked. Okay. Fuck Moore County is about three and a half hours from me. I'm here in the tip of Western North Carolina.

This has happened in more closer to the Raleigh Durham area. I don't need this religious ass zodiac killer power bandit anywhere near me, bro. It's a very not quite lit. Oh, Emily Rainey is a former army captain who resigned her commission after receiving career ending letter of reprimand for her actions at an earlier protest in the back of the area.

This is a Dexter villain. Jesus Christ out here just blasting fucking transformers. Holy shit. All right.

Okay. All right. And eight months there will be a true crime like six episode limited series podcast about it. So you might as well get early adopter right now.

So you could tell everyone you've been on Emily Grace Rainey, the power bandit. Unsurprisingly, this person is associated with like the Proud Boys and like far right lunatics. I cannot believe it anyways. Yeah.

Bad, bad time for old Grace Emily photography a few hours from here. Tough, tough, tough. That's a tough one. Okay.

So very quite lit is big day of the big project. I guess. But then worst case scenario is like, yeah, do it the next day. What about this?

I thought about a little bit. Now that I work from home full time, not on a freelance basis where I had no excuse. If my power goes out at home, am I going to work or you're going to go somewhere else? No way fucking hell dude.

Kind of very quite lit. But then at the same time, what am I going to do with my free time? Well, I think that's a whole different category, right? Okay.

So I think working from home. But it's not great because you're still stuck at home doing okay. Okay. And and and and the tough thing is like if you got shit you actually have to do that sucks to be like, it's Friday.

I need to finish this. The power is gonna come back on like at what 11 p.m. on a Friday. And then I have fucking weekend homework.

So that does suck. Yeah. Circumstance what to do. I think category what to do.

And then another category gear. I got another very not quite lit circumstance. Yeah. Cross country road trip.

Yeah, I was waiting for that one. I storm not my flavor it. Yeah. That's like that's more like cause but I don't I don't know if there's a good I don't know if category is cause because another one is like circumstances like power band it.

We get we get lots of power out of just Northern California because of fires. And we get like I think it's called PSPS. Yeah, PSPS. I love the PS is a public safety power shut off that PGD the company the utilities company that starts all the fires in California.

That's something they do because they're like they get wind of like tough tough weather coming up and they're like, oh fuck this one's bad for us. We're just gonna shut it off. I'm sorry we got it shut it off. So that's obviously far so far.

So it goes fucking dog shit right like a little PSPS. So that's that one stinks. Okay. Did you did you have a lot of power outages happen when you were a kid?

I feel like they were weirdly common when I was I can't remember I can tell you that in the last string of maybe two years that I lived in LA I was getting a lot of dang time. Yeah. So what to do I think a two is like roam the streets. Yeah, but like there's there's no street lights out or there's no street lights on right.

Everything's dark. Yeah, absolutely a two because it's kind of it's like fun in like a danger way but it's a danger way. It's a danger way. We're like a lot of danger.

We are dangerous. Oh my God. I have like a very vivid memory of being outside like with some friends on our bikes and it was just like me and maybe like two other friends and then we saw like nine kids rolling up on their bikes and the power was out. No street lights nothing.

I was probably like I don't know 10 years old boy. PPS and my pants right there. Yeah, we were it was a no go for us baby. No lights a bunch of teens coming at us.

They were older kids. That's a site kind of half we fucking hit the road. Yeah, I think like what about go to a bar in a different neighborhood. Yeah.

I mean leave the neighborhood in general probably a three right like get the fuck out of there. I was at night where I was like pretty buried under freelance working. We got a power outage. So I just rolled on down to the closest spot with Wi-Fi which was a brewery nearby and I just kind of drank a million beers and did work that way.

Would you agree that there is when there's a power outage in your neighborhood there is a slight there's like a purge vibe. Do you get that like a little bit of like the law has the rules are maybe not fully upheld. Okay. Okay.

So there is like a purge vibe. So here's what I think generator for gear is a two because you are going to draw much attention to yourself if you are the only house in 14 block radius that's humming with power like you're playing Xbox and you got a bunch of like the warriors outside your house with you know with their bats and their broken bottles just waiting to kick your ass for your Wi-Fi or whatever. Oh speaking of Wi-Fi very quite like gear is a hot spot like we were in our little hotel power outage and it was negative a million outside we couldn't even leave that is where a hotspot was shining to laptop dad. Yeah we've we've had a hotspot for all of our power outages that we've had in our house because we don't have power candles very quite like gear.

I think it's a two but you got to have them. Yeah. I guess and you can post them. Yeah.

Okay. I know you get to like match. I know. Like I feel like there are people mostly like moms who the like day comes when the power goes out and they open that drawer that's got like 30 T candles in it and they're just like today's the day motherfuckers you thought.

Yeah. You thought I was full of shit keeping these fucking four dozen candles in this drawer and everyone's like what are all these fucking candles for and I was like watch your mouth. Now look at you. Now look at you.

Who the power band it is. It's a mom who no one believed this day would come. Yeah. And then people are going to Walmart to try and buy fucking tea like candles and they're like nope we're out some lady came in.

Clean this out. Yeah. I'm like a couple candles are clutch. I'll give it to you.

Your little ding dong headlamp is probably a three. Oh yeah. I do know I love my headlamp baby. I am.

What do you think about take a shower in the dark? Oh it's a little exciting. I do like it. It's honestly it's a three to me.

What's the drawback? I love it a couple candles. That's a vibe. Yeah.

Shower or a bath. I'm not a baffman but you know like it's the same deal. That's no no no no dude. Bath is very scary in the dark.

Oh you think it's scary? You think something's coming out of the water? It's quiet. You just get a little slosh in the water.

Feel a little shark fans when Pastor ankle. Okay all but bath is due for all the stupid words we just listed. Yeah. Okay characters, anyone that works for PG&E.

Yeah that's a fact. It is a very not quite lit because they're useless. Yeah. Yeah we should have the power running anytime between noon tomorrow and noon six years from now.

Yeah. We're working on the I like when they're like the it's like a developing situation. They're like the situation's developing. It's like well can you develop it's like I'm faster?

Yeah. What's what's coming in developed and they're on Twitter they'll be like let us know about outages in your area and then you say mine and then they say relax we're getting to it. Yeah. Hey fucko we know.

I think characters parents I think are three they got every they have everything so fucking unlock that it's unbelievable. I don't think any memories of having power outages as a child. I just think there's the ones like they got the candles dads busting out 65 flashlights like this is like a it's like a very non threatening emergency. So it's like parents it's like a parents are designed for if they fail at a power outage like you have to go to the store and buy some new parents because you got some duds.

I think you got to go analog. So like board games. Yeah board games by candlelight is sick. That's something to do and I think that's a three bust out the you know the whole the boom box.

Well set action. So I got to plug that in though probably don't you. As long as you got 16 d batteries you're right. Oh batteries are clear very quite lit gear.

Oh nothing worse. Nothing worse than like okay let's go clear the batteries out of the remote. We got a fine shit that's got juice and put them in the book. Let me ask you this though.

Do you not want to have to go to the store a little run the Walgreens just maybe some snakies you earn some snackies you're getting sour patch kids for this. The problem is like I agree with you the problem is what if the Walgreens is out of power. What if you're like because like in California a lot of times it's like power is out. Yeah true.

Like everywhere from three hours to me. You know what I mean like they'll shut down the whole like six whole counties. But yeah a little pop to like the to the Walgreens is it three to me. Oh folks mates can shine in this situation.

Yeah I feel bad I feel like those are the times when those people are getting fucking crushed and also it's another thing where like if your neighborhood's out what restaurants you order in from different neighborhood. This guy outsourcing everything. Yeah. You're going to burn your damn house to the ground.

What's the point? Okay. The electricity's so good. Yeah it's really shout out shout out to electricity gear.

I think flashlights in general are a two. They are have a flashlight. No way dude. We have actually we have a I have this very because we do so much work on the house.

I have this very fucking bright workers lamp with a like a rechargeable battery which is sick but it I mean it's bright as the sun it burns through that battery like an hour. It would be ineffective in a power it would be great in a power outage for one hour and then we'd be shit out of luck. I've just been informed from the other room that we might have a flashlight. Yeah I mean it's a good thing to have in a house you should have one.

My mom my mom shit this is a good other great one shout out to my mom for this. My mom has these plug in in the hallway like a little night like a little plug in the light but they you can pull it off the base of the plug and it's a flash like it sits there and gives a little hallway light but it's charging and you can always ready for an emergency my mom. There's no chance she'll be without a flashlight. She's got one posted around the house about four of them strategically placed.

I think a very quite like gear is depending on how long boy you got to have a cooler huh because that food in the fridge is going to go toast and yeah that happened to us in college remember yeah well it wasn't a power outage the fridge died that's what we had to call fridge guy yeah all of our college groceries what do you think that fridge look like I was just thinking like what were we saving it had to do some beans. It had to be just like milk and like stuff that probably it would have been cheaper to just replace than to go down to buy a couple of you can find an our fridge in college just a bunch of milk just to the milk boys hitting it straight from the carton just slurping it down. What you don't like that okay I got some characters shadow puppets very go shadow puppets is like a one majorly so you know you're obviously gonna do some of course of course I think a character that okay I got some characters a three is like up if you live with your significant other that's massive to have someone of course I think a two is a roommate because it's like if you like your roommates that's awesome if you ever make you're just okay with it's like well fuck what am I gonna sit in my room with the door closed stare at the wall no yeah I have to go out and I think a two character just because I think it's like an important power outage vibe is the people that go stand out on the streets and just kind of like talk about the power outage you don't talk about yeah I think it's a two I like to see them do their thing it's just it's because it's again that's like mostly old people or people with kids and they come out and they're like oh man you guys lost power over there too hot it's like dude every light is all you know no we we turned our shit off Dave we have to know we felt bad for you fucking just mugs we got a generator over here dude you know what I really like is a sort of that flip side of that coin you know I saw a lot of people especially toward the more east you get in Los Angeles that will do this opposite of that get on the street light up the grill bring out the drinks it's it's lawn bar party time well especially if it happens during the day oh like or like the evening like a four o'clock power out you my time is is like a pretty good circumstance yeah because then you could prepare if you don't see that never that never fucking happens huh it's always like eight o'clock oh great cool oh very not quite lit the big game there's the shot the shot is up oh yeah kawaii for three in the corner yeah seven yeah yeah the big big game obviously like that's that's tough the you're watching Game of Thrones here comes frickin what's her bucket mother dragons what's she gonna do off what's a very not quite lit gear is there any gear that's like bad I mean just like stuff that needs to be plugged in I guess electronics yeah very not quite lit yeah that's a fair point oh man a a mark a mobile charger like a like a battery you know I'm talking about like a backup operator no no no like like we have like a phone charger yeah yeah yeah yeah just like a little USB like cool you can plug your your laptop your phone into it yeah I bring one of those in the car with me we're trying to film a lot of you you can't just play them in your car no because I my car doesn't have a USB outlet oh fucking what are you poor yeah which obviously my car is from 2014 so you think I that's why I assumed it seems a little late for that right I have to tell you I have like a yeah it does I had like a 2008 that had that so yes damn that's that's some bullshit that doesn't make any sense the car that I bought while I was in college at that you know what it does have a charger for the old type of iPhone before it went to this lightning port oh that that big the wide boy the big wide boy the wide boy cracks me up every time I see it it's like a blast with a past you just have that shit built in huh what but like what a swing to take Volkswagen Jetta yeah foolish honestly and not surprising what about going to hang on your car limited time you could do that but like I don't know yeah hang on the car I will say gear a car is a three for sure I think like if you have like a party bus that you owned you could get out there fire that really cragot I don't want to be this has never happened to me but as far circumstance I don't want to be like in a restaurant or a bar where that happens that's that's actually leave and then it sucks because like what do you do go home yeah so yeah I think that's a that's a one actually I have been in a bar with now but it they flip the breaker and that's cool that's a good story man imagine how much I'm sure it eats shit to have young children oh my god and like there if you finally gone to calm down because they're watching their fucking spongebob and then I can't watch spongebob anymore because the freaking power is out yes and the iPad just died too so now there's no robots they're screaming we want spongebob over and over and over jumping up and down being at the hospital probably not sick if the power goes out and you're in a hospital I absolutely have to assume that the hospital has backup generators at the ready the hospital yeah they do the hospital all emergency services do hospitals do as well as the police very pretty good maybe you're at one of those dining in the dark restaurants yeah probably can't cook a food anymore but like at least for a little while you're not gonna fully know unless the music stops playing I yeah that's a pretty good one you know that no it just doesn't sound like anything to me no it sounds bad of course but like don't you curious I'll be honest with you no like I've um I've eaten at it we talked about visit length of eating a movie theater obviously that's not pitch black but I can tell you that experience is not enjoyable to not be able to fully see my food so I yeah no it seems highly unenjoyable experience but I'm very curious about waiting blind ridiculous yeah I yeah I mean I guess people are not crashing into each other I think yeah I guess curious curious the answers yes but that's but that's as far as you'll take me circumstance a very crowded place like if you were in say like a out of ball game or like in a casino or something boy that would be at a concert fucking that's like some alien abduction shit like a baseball stadium all the lights that happen that happened to maybe don't remember that happened in the Super Bowl or the super yeah the fucking power went out the Super Bowl yeah I do remember that yeah unfortunately that was nothing you'll be black out that happened during that oh big guy that was that was Niners Raven am I you're correct and then after the power out of the Niners made a fierce comeback and came up just short yeah I have a three circumstance that I think is and also this will go in this is a flip version this will go into what to do three circumstances like you're at a friends house because it's like well we'll just go we'll just leave my house probably yeah we'll just go to this yeah we'll we're just gonna dip oh man this stinks well you can come over if you want but we are gonna leave because I'm not gonna play Monopoly by candlelight with you again oof do you think you can like I don't think that I would have the ability to be like um can I come over because my power asking if you can come over is you have like a are you talking about like they're already there you talk about like texting someone no like like your I'm I'm text you oh shit my power is out can I come over oh it's tough I think that the way the way to do it is my power is out you want to meet somewhere and grab a bite or something like that no I don't want to go grab a bite I want to come I know you don't but I want to play your ten I know your cheeseburger I know but maybe they'll say why don't you just come over dude the power is out I mean yeah I don't know it just feels like such a dorkus malorkus to be like dorkus to ask someone to come over as dorkus supreme yeah it's a hey my mom asking for a play by mom so I can sleep over is that okay with you yeah dorkus and then like I don't want anyone over here yeah oh wait are you fucking come over are you saying are you saying no it does suck it's up no like if I'm not prepared to have a guest I do not want a get right but you're not gonna say no if one of your friends says of course I'm gonna say no but it's gonna suck like when do I get to like and they're like well still no power and it's you know 11 p.m. and I'm ready to go sleep yeah boy that's tough that's a tough one I get I mean that at all like yeah we've talked about this too there's just something there's just some different when you get when you pass a certain age maybe it's like 29 maybe it's when you get 30 I just cannot host on a whim anymore it used to not be an issue at all it would be like anyone yeah come over we'll drink 18 beers and fall asleep on the night I don't care yeah whatever do yeah shit on the floor what do I care yeah yeah we'll get breakfast in the morning dude no worries if somebody like doesn't give me at least like 14 hours notice I'm like oh my god of course I'm gonna say yes because I'm a good friend but I'm gonna fucking present them for this for a long time I don't like being invited to anything yeah it sucks doesn't matter if it's something I want to do yeah but I'd love to don't ask me to do it oh my god what about backyard camping well I hate that but it's not a bad one it's not a bad time to do it a big backyard might as well I do think I'm a color to I do think I'm I do think there's like a reverting to to child like behavior during a powder outage so like you build know like maybe build a maybe build a little pillow for it where's that where we put that yeah I could build a fort yeah I love a fort doesn't matter the circumstance I'm in the building a fort what oh drugs and alcohol too is it a two is I think this is kind of a I do too you know what your your stove works in a power outage right depends we have an electric stove now so no oh well some people's do rip up rip some hot toddies out of that shit yeah yeah so I think boozies is a three actually because like the worst case play music on your phone until it dies that's a dark moment though isn't yeah and then you're just hearing it like the you just the your voice echo off the walls yeah that's what about ghost stories oh ghost stories boy that's gotta be great I feel like three to me but like especially if you can build a fire in the backyard oh yeah oh my god to build a fire build a fire what are we talking about that's a three for sure mmm holy shit I guess for gear maybe a two or three is camping all camping gear huh like if you have that shit on the ready like a fire starter some flashlights but like if you live in an apartment like I do what am I doing with that camping gear I'm gonna build a tent in my living room that's kind of fun nave what are you talking about reading dude lame right it's a two how you can't read in the dark by candle light bro or with your stupid little head like reading my candle light when my ebonies are screwed I'm gonna get my little cap what about your headlamp dude well I guess but like that's good if you live alone I think but if you're like with somebody you're both gonna go into your silent reading time in the dark well for sure that's what Chelsea would do because she has a fucking backlit kindle and that thing's got a battery that would last probably like six days so she's gonna sit there and read her head off and I would be looking for my gameboy yeah that's a coincidence because I just recently gave my candle away because reading stinks um reading is great but I like I like a book like the feel of a book I know I do too what about what about doing this is like gotta be a big one but we'll just toss it out there what if you took this time to do like a chore so like okay okay we powers out um and maybe it's the daytime still and we're like all right well it's still bright in here but there's nothing else to do why don't well yeah or like we've been putting off fucking cleaning out that closet or you know I've been meaning to patch up that hole or whatever like just knock out a chore it might be like when else if not then when else you're not gonna do that fucking chore if you're not doing it when the power's out yeah I guess like you want to do chores and then like go back inside and not celebrate by watching TV that's cool I know it is tough there's no reward the reward is like back to fucking purgatory that's the whole point like chores gotta have a reward at the end and I do not think that you have one lego oh my god lego gotta be a three right you could go out and buy a lego and then do it in anywhere if it's daytime inside it's nighttime sit on the porch I mean a little candle yeah little candle light lego little porch lego porch lego kind of an interesting proposition I've not thought of yeah a little I'm stressing about it though because like the potential to lose oh my god yeah is way higher I need like honestly put me in like the inside of a giant teacup on building a lego so that like a slalom area where nothing can escape I know we I moved some legos from our old place to our new place and like one of them I have noticed got a little broken up and like some pieces were nearby and I haven't even checked but I'm like I know that there are some pieces that are just I'll never see again I'll find them when we're moving in fucking nine years and it's like oh yep there it is that was the piece that was supposed to be the whatever I also like a fucking idiot listen how stupid I am this is unrelated to power outages I of a lego set that I really had my eye on came out like basically right before we bought this house and I said I'm gonna buy this big expensive lego set and it's gonna be a little treat for me after we move in and get all settled I'll build this big beautiful lego you know what I want to do less than anything in the world right now is build a fucking anything dude all I've been doing is building and fucking tearing things down and building them again what an idiot what an absolute Luke that's gonna sit in a club for a year yeah but it's a big beautiful lighthouse with a working light so that's cool you can use it in the dark at least that's true actually though that is true good call is there a particular season that we want power out I guess like spring it feels like the best right yeah because winter and summer out for the obvious reasons yeah fall could still be too cold yeah um fall has been cold as a bitch here well I'm we're into winter now it's dekember no I guess circumstance being a kid it feels like it's the best option right that's that's I think it's the worst I feel like that's when you most rely on your electronics no yeah but you're but then you're just like it's you I just feel like when the power would go out when I was a kid I would just flip into like hijinks mode now I'm just gonna like prance around the house open up closets that I've never opened up and dig into pockets of jackets and like I'm gonna go outside range the fucking cupboard I'm just thinking like the ability to not play mark car when on that age is so much worse than the ability to not play mark car now yeah it's a fact it's a fact okay so sir maybe so maybe being a churled is a tood and I think a churled is not is not very quite lit you think about re-arrings the house yeah I guess dude that's you're getting into like meth territory this is daytime stuff this is daytime stuff that one's tough because I hate something I have learned about myself in recent years I cannot stand to start a big chore that is going to take me from daytime to nighttime do you understand what I'm saying like if I can't if it's like okay we're gonna even if it's an inside chore honestly even if it's like we're gonna do a bunch of cleaning like we're gonna do whatever we're gonna rearrange the furniture if we're starting forget it I'm gonna be pissed because it's gonna the night is gonna fall and I'm gonna think no my body thinks that it's time to be done during a power outage rearranging the furniture it's like even if you start at 8 a.m.

it's a race against the fucking cause as soon as that sun starts to set and those shadows start to cast you are in hell baby shoving just giving up and you're sitting in your stupid new living room stupid you're gonna wake up in the morning yes you're gonna wake up in the morning and feel like a complete dumbass when you realize like oh yeah the reason we had the TV was there because the glare from whatever or there's a big stain on this fucking spot where we thought that there wasn't so yeah that's rearranged furniture is like a for sure I think a one if you got a pool and it's the season that's a great one huh it's powers out it gives a shit that's cool the pool even like even at night honestly like my dad has a pool a little nighttime summer swim when the power's out don't mind it yeah the sharks will get you the night sharks the night pool sharks will get you but that's a risky take you know I don't know about you but I'm freaking out of ideas dog I have nothing else to say like what what was it say all right powerages are bad you shouldn't have told us to do this topic everyone out there listening it's true all right well okay let's um first of all you don't think that okay they're not a little is it a little exciting to you with our outage or no not at all you hate it fully it's a fucking nuisance it's a little exciting to me why I don't know I think it's just like

stoplights actually is horrible the trip it creates sure is a traffic like none other and danger afoot so actually driving is like very not quite like it feels like you're trying to get out of a fucking war zone takes you nine hours to get out the door oh my gosh we didn't even think about the fucking the flashing red stoplight nothing worse or some even even worse a fucking ooh a pathetic gloves he gloves he doesn't don't whistle at me don't bring out your little illuminated fucking cone flashlight you fucking air traffic controller get the hell out of here um hate those fucking
