To bring the stairs.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Have you ever heard that?
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Urn?
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Have you ever heard that?
Speaker 4 (00:08):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (00:08):
So the elevators were well, were out in the building right,
So when I got here, I took the stairs. Now
I didn't try the elevator, but we had gotten an
email that all day yesterday the building was I don't
know what's wrong with the elevators.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
They weren't working.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
So we got emails last well, we got two emails
last night. One was, hey, the elevators are down. Avoid
the elevators probably won't be ready to go until the morning.
Take the stairs whatever. The second email we got is
dustinal work from home. So anyway, I get here and
I took the stairs up. No big deal, it's fine.
Speaker 5 (00:38):
You didn't even try to see if the elevators are working.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
No, because I started in the parking garage and the
stairs that I took in the parking garage go up
to by where the service elevator is, where there's another
door that you just get on.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
So I didn't even pass by an elevator at all.
So I just came up.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Everything's fine, it's only four, well six flights if you
use the parking garage. No big deal came right up.
And then and then Tyler took the stairs. And then
when I came back from I had some morning things
to do, and when I popped in the office, Kristen
looked and said, hey, did you bring the stairs?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (01:14):
So that is a Christen term.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Of yeah, instead of saying did you take the stairs
or did you use the stairs?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
She said? Diane was like, did I bring them from home?
Speaker 6 (01:25):
Like?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
So she said the same thing to me when she
walked in, and I sat there and looked at her
like a like a confused cocker spaniel, and was like, what.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Do you what did you bring the stairs?
Speaker 5 (01:38):
I said, well, are you? Are you referencing the elevators
being out?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Well?
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Yeah, And I said, who says bring the stairs?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Ohio? Did I take the stairs right or use them?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
No, so the elevators were working for you.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Oh so they're all going yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
When I walked by after climbing the six flights, I
went through the eleve a vestibule and hit it just
to see and it called it right to our floor.
I was like, oh, I guess I didn't need to
huff huff it up the stairs. I didn't need to
bring the.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Stairs, Christen, you bring the noise, You take the.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Stairs, you can you can also bring the funk.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yeah, that is true. That is true.
Speaker 7 (02:21):
You can bring the stairs up to code. There's some
sort of issue there by the way.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Did you count how many you passed on the way
up the stairs when you brought the stairs?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Did you count?
Speaker 7 (02:32):
I was more concerned about running into somebody who was
trying to.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Sleep by the way to easily get in there.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
And then it's a spot to hang.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Out the stairs.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
The stairwell that I took in the parking garage, you
can't see like it's all cinder block walls and no lights.
There's lights, but you can't see around the stairs, and
you do feel like there could be somebody like cooking
a spoon right around the corner.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Here's the last thing I'll ever do.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Where did they find them?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Oh? Stairwell at work? Absolutely the no. But did you
count on the way up? I did count what dead cockroaches?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Seven? Seven of them?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
And that's not in the parking garage stairwell. But I
guess the homeless people are reading those, sorry, the unhoused.
The inside the building. I counted seven dead cockroaches on
the on the way up.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
So we are at infestation levels.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Oh, we have to be.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
And then I go up to what floor are we
on for? I go up to five to go out
to the balcony. There's always a couple of dead ones
laying in the old offices. Yeah, yeah, they're just laying there.
Now it's the same ones most days. But yeah, they're
just hanging out in there. But there's a lot of
dead cockroaches. And maybe that's why the elevators didn't work.
They ate through all the wiring and all the cabling.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
You know what, I know a pest company that needs
some work.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
You know what, It starts with a K.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
If I'm not mistaken, they need they have a few fines.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Let's help him out.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
And then what was what was your day yesterday?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
I had a good trip to the dentists?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Oh, oh you know what. We were also doctor heavy yesterday. Well,
first of all, any cavities, Now, what did they tell you?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I closed?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I closed the whole time. I thought.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
She hands me this, She handed me to sunglasses because
the high genesis is there.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I don't need them. I'm going to close my eyes.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
No, but I took those two because you got the
bright light right in your face.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
You can't see it with your eyes closed.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I have a message on her ppe that's reminded you
to keep your eyes closed. Now she had the shield on.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Well, of course, they don't want your spin off.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
And then my normal dentist wasn't there, so I saw
the other dentists that I used to see years ago.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
He wondered, why you don't see him anymore?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
No, No, I asked him. I was like, so, why
are you still here? I said, why are you still working?
Because he's there. He's a lot older.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And I said he actually called me and said that
he was on the verge of retirement, but he had
a regular client that switched off, so it forced him
back a couple of years.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
He's and he's told me that he he told me
the story the last time I asked him, while he
was still working months ago. He's like, you know, I
went and saw my older brother in Norfolk. You know,
he's ninety and he's a dentist and he still works
two to three days a week.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
How old is your dentist, dude?
Speaker 5 (05:15):
If I had to guess, he's probably about eighty.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Oh why yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
God?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
And he rattled those tools around against your teen.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
No, no, no, I mean he just it's like the hygienist
does all the work. He just comes in and sort
of like sees what she did. No, he's in great shape.
But I told him. I was like, why are you
still working? And he's like, he's like, I still like
what I do. He's like, I'm like my brother, we
like what we do. I don't want to retire yet.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
But he's looking at gross, grimy teeth all day.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
It's he's been in business forever. I mean, this has
been my dentist for like twenty five years, has it really?
I mean this practice he was at retirement age when
you started. I know, it's not that impressive when you're yeah.
I mean I'm guessing he's about eighty. I don't know. Yeah,
that's why I was thinking.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
He's got to be close. Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
My grandfather was a dentus as well as his brother.
They were essentially forced out in their sixties. I mean,
you should retire.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
He's like, he has a bunch of other dentists that
it was his it was his practice. But no, he's
in great shape. He was like the lead person, but
I think he sold off his practice.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
So he still works there.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Right, So now he's a higher gun.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Yeah. Now, I'm like, if you still like it, more
power to you, Mike. I'm not gonna be I said,
I probably won't be alive when I made him.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
No, we had to do a little doctor visit yesterday.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yesterday was X ray day or the younger one had
to go get X rays yesterday for what so, like
towards the end of like middle of July till middle
of August, like kids that are going off to college
who play hockey in college, and some of them are
going to junior and stuff, so they ramp up, like
you can find some like really really ramped up, like
training sessions to get you ready for the start of school.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Right, So yesterday he.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Was out what time was his I don't know, sometime
around noon one o'clock. He was out on the ice
and there were a bunch of kids who play college hockey.
So this is the younger one who's the goalie, right,
So he's playing, and they came down and they were
doing some kind of drill or something and he had
to dive across the crease to get a shot. Well,
I guess when he dove his pad moved and the
puck this kid, and it's not the player's fault, ripped
(07:32):
a shot, but it caught him right on the.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Collarbone where it was not padded.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
The well, the pad moved, so it caught him right
on the collarbone. That thing looked like, well, first of all,
it's about the size of a baseball bruce and you
could see like you could see and again because everything
was like all swollen and everything. You could see part
of the collarbone, but you couldn't see the other And
when you went to touch it, it made like a mountain.
And so we were like, oh crap, we better get that.
(07:57):
We better get that looked at because he's going to
go to school couple weeks. So we were like, we
better get that looked at. He had some like it
was sore, but he had movement, which was good because
the other one broke his collar bone that was on
a hit the recently, No, that goes back a couple
of years. The so we took him in for X rays. No,
just the deep, deep bone and tissue bruise.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Thank god.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
The because that first week of college is a chance
to reinvent yourself and present.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
A version of.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Your person that you've wanted to and not be defined
by anybody else. You don't want to give something to
the people to know you by without you getting a
chance let them know you.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
No, that's a great point.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
I was really nervous during that story. Oh he's got
to have a neck brace. Well so much for the
four years.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
So yeah, no, just a deep bone and tissue bruise.
But he's back out on the ice right now, so
the uh.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Make get easy.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It doesn't matter. Well, it does, actually a lot.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
You can Since freshman year of high school, you've been
sort of earning this moment to shed everything that other
people called you for the last four years.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Don't screw that up.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
Seriously, that's all I thought about between senior year really
freshman year of college.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
It's about like reinventing yourself.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
What were you like, die your hair blonde and get
a perm. I did that in middle school. Oh not
a perm that's a new it's back again. Everyone's gonna
perms again. But no, I did the sun and thing
in middle school.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
The I did it. I did it as a professional.
I didn't Uh. I didn't die my hair till later.
But I did have long hair, and that would have been.
I had long hair in high school, but I grew
that out after high school.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
But think about it.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
The people you're about trying to grow dreads.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
The people in two weeks, right, you're about to live
amongst know nothing about you. It's an amazing reboot. And
you got to walk in and traction. Yeah, that's it.
That's what my arms are doing. I wasn't pretending to
be Craig Kimberrel. I'm just trying to get through this door.
(10:28):
Why you didn't reinvent yourself going to Radford?
Speaker 5 (10:30):
That never crossed my mind.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Were you not called a lot of names through high school?
Maybe maybe that's what it was.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
It's not even the bullying, it's just that people what
people come to know you as I get that.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
That's true though, because I have, like my my roommates
from freshman year would still like make fun of me
constantly being on long distance phone calls when I first
got there, right, Oh you mean, Diane, And then they
would hold they would hold, they would hold there, their
hand up like it's a phone, like the old time
(11:06):
phones next to their ears. Oh yeah, Diane. I was
a little homesick for my friends.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
But by the way, I will say this now that
you mention it.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I did used to think like it would be fun,
like even now, like if we got fired and we
had to move to a new city, Right, where are
we going?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Pick a city? La? Okay, like we're moving to We're
moving to LA where there may soon be a job opening.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Anyway, the don't you think it would be fun to
like like just like show up to work blonde?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
You know what I mean, like like totally and preppy?
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Like you could change. I used to think that all
the time. Oh I used to think that all the time,
Like when I went to I couldn't do it. I'm
gonna completely flip who I am when I left. When
I left LA and moved to Philly, there was part
of me that was like, oh, you know what, why
don't I go blonde?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Are you just changing?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Like what the f happened to you?
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Is it just changing your appearance is the only thing
that's changing? Or suddenly you said you're gonna become preppy?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Well I didn't. I didn't come into money.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Anybody see in my boat shoes, I'm.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Driving of driving a Bentley to work. No, but it's
like I get what Tyler's saying A chance. No, it
is a chance to totally. You can do it when
you switch job.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Reinvent was the wrong word because you're thinking Madonna or
Lady Gaga.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
No, no, no, but all of a sudden, you wanna,
you wanna, you want to die you're hair, maybe get
a perm, whatever you want to do.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
No, it's just my friends bring the new who.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
Uh we've obviously mentioned before, he has always said, and
to this day, as he learned more about me and
the prior four years, he would say, no one forgot
more about their previous self than you did when you
came to college. It's like you dropped every one of
(12:51):
your friends from college or from high school. I had
had a girlfriend for over three years. I did never
talk to her again, Like I you went in brand new,
I did to.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, it was you reinventage yourself with that blonde hair
and a perm.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I did not change my physical appearance.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
See, but that's all I would change.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I mean, I guess if we if we got fired
and we had to take that job in La, I
would probably like I'd probably bring my wife like she
would go, so I'd still be married. She may say,
I'm not moving, and then we'd be long distance, and
you know that ain't gonna work. It works the you
know who else I would bring?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Who's that Diane? Oh I'm sorry, Diane.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Oh yeah, that's all I had to say.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
If there was any question as to which Diane you
were talking about, you know, put that phone, put that
fake receiver up by your ear.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Anyway, All right, let's do that. So good news. Yeah, no, uh,
nothing's broken, everything's finding better. Be on the ice right now.
Started at six.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
No, treat it like you've maybe been traded. You can't
risk injury. Get him off the ice.
