Speaker 1 (00:00):
I can't do it. Please take it a deer blog.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
So, and Fred, you might relate to this a little
bit at the beginning, But I feel like one of
the scariest parts of living in an apartment building is
that you kind of just have to trust everyone else
to not do anything like dangerous in their apartment, i e.
Fires and things that are unsafe. So the other day
I was home and I kept smelling smoke, and I always,

(00:23):
I don't know why, I like always blame myself at
first for things. So I kept going over, like to
check my hair tools, like is that plugged in?

Speaker 1 (00:30):
You were holding a joint, So I thought, you know, okay.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
We're not talking about that.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah, where is smoke coming? Rights head?

Speaker 2 (00:39):
It was so high that I didn't know it was
me and blog but no. So and then I kept
checking my stove in my oven, and I was pacing
around and I'm like, Okay, well, it's got to be
someone else, like burn something, something's not safe, something's not right.
And then I get a phone call from my boy
Jason Brown, and he's like, hey, are you all right?
And I'm like, what do you mean? And he's like

(01:00):
the restaurant attached to your apartment is on fire, and
I'm like, it is, and he's like, yeah, go out
on your balcony. And so I went down on my
balcony and I looked down and the whole street is
filled with like tons of fire trucks and I'm like, oh,
that's probably where the smoke smell is coming from. It
was fully on fire, and then it smelled so bad
in my apartment building for the next few days, like

(01:21):
people were wearing masks like that's how bad it was.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
It was bad, and I was a little bit scared
for a while. I was like, do I go outside whatever,
But I just love that, Like my friend who watches
the news was the one who told me that my
apartment was about to be on fire, not.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
The building itself, not your building, telling well, there wasn't.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Then I looked at I saw an email, but I
just like Jason so on it and thank God for
him because I would have been doing laps thinking that
I had something on fire in my apartment. But yeah,
so the fire is now out and the smell is gone,
but they needed fans and masks and it was a
whole ordeal. And that Civil War movie put on their
movie poster like a building on fire too, and I
just I don't know whatever it was at all.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
I'm glad, you're ok yeah, yeah, thanks. It's better than
I was in an old hotel not that long ago,
and I'm laid in bed and I was a little hungover,
and the fire alarm went off at like six in
the morning, and I laid there and I'm like, I
don't smell anything. Do you smell anything? No, who's talking
to myself? And I just went back to sleep. So

(02:24):
the truth of the matter is the place kind of
burned down, But at that moment, I was long over
and tired, and so I just prioritized my sleep, you know.
I mean, it could have been really bad, but I
wasn't going down there, you know, for some high school
prank or whatever in my underwear, in my in my robe,
I might sleep. I prioritize my sleep, and it turned
out everything was okay.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
I'm glad. It's like when there's like a tornado drill
in my building, and I'm like, you know, if this
is how.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
I got that was kind of my attitude about this.
I'm like, I honestly, I'm so hungover that it's this
might be the better alternative, right, I'll just Hey.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
The floor's not hot. You're good. You have some times I'm.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Comfortable, but I did. I surveyed the situation. I lifted
my head up about two inches and I went and
my sniffer test told me everything was fine. We're good,
so we went right back to bed. Yep, it's a
more Fred show next
