Rewind: Episode 01

Hey, what's up, guys? I'm Stephen, producer on Radio Rental, and this is Radio Rental Rewind, where we dig into the archives of the greatest hits, the scariest stories we have, the favorites, and today we're going all the way back to the beginning. Episode one is one of the scariest crazy stories we got, and it's called Chaos on a Flight. So let's check it out. Right here again. Perfect, yeah. All right. This will be super simple. I'm just going to ask you some questions, kind of prompt you, and take you through it. It's obviously not liable. Our goal is to make it sound good, we'll edit it. So, you're good, Mike? Yeah. Okay. Um, you're just going to ask people, like, just kind of set the stage for me, like, just where, when, this, all go down, what were you doing, what was your job, like, to kind of set the stage for me. I moved a lot growing up, my family's from Central America from Nicaragua, and we would go back at least once or twice a year, so I had quite a bit of experience flying, and we were flying back home to Nicaragua, flying through Paris. I was traveling with my brother, who was a year older than me, and with my dad. My brother and I were pretty comfortable flying. We had actually flown alone a lot. Eventually we started boarding, my dad was in business class, so he cut off at the front of the plane. My brother and I went to the back, and we were in the middle two rows of the middle aisle. Pretty much the worst possible place to be for a nine-hour flight. My brother and I just kind of sat there and settled it in. We had two French people. I think they were members of the same family on either side of us. I spoke a little bit of French, but I didn't understand like everything that they were saying, and they kept talking, like, over us towards each other, and it was just a little bit uncomfortable. Kind of a standard, uncomfortable, typical flight. I was just like half-dosing off, looking down, reading my book, and then I remember the smell of matches in the air. For me, the sonic memories were the most vivid. I remember somebody saying the word "no" over and over. It started really quietly, and then gradually it got like a little bit louder, until a point where it becomes really pressing. A screaming "no". Immediately I panicked, I tensed up. I essentially crushed the book. It was a paperback, and I remember grabbing onto it like really tight. I look up to my right, and there's a flight attendant just sort of hunched over a row of seats, probably five rows ahead of us. When I heard the urgency in the flight attendant's voice, I remember having this moment of extreme panic, and then I just felt a surge of adrenaline. Everything actually seemed to occur in slow motion. I think young teenage boys think of themselves as rather brave, but at that moment, my first instinct was to try to run away. Maybe if I run to the lavatories in the back of the plane, I can get away from whatever this is. But then you have this realization that you're on a plane, and there's actually nowhere to go. My brother who was sitting to my left, he leaped over me, jumped into the aisle, ran up to see what was going on. This whole time I was frozen. I didn't react at all. All I could see from that middle row were just like the backs of people's heads and shoulders and scuffling and struggling, like a bar fight or something. It just felt like chaos. I heard the no, that crescendo just got louder and louder. And I remember seeing just a really tall person sitting on the window seat by the six rows in front of me. I could almost see his shoulders sticking up above the back of the seat on the plane. It was very tall. All I saw was the back of his head, long hair, long curly black hair, and he's struggling with this flight attendant who's kind of hunched over the seat. They were struggling with some kind of struggle. What struck me as really unusual was that he wasn't, it almost seemed like he wasn't reacting to what the flight attendant was doing. In any normal circumstance if somebody yells at you on a flight, you would obviously react and you wouldn't respond. There seemed to be a strange passiveness. He was way too calm, way too comfort, really. The flight attendant's screams got more, more urgent. People started screaming along with her. People were speaking very urgently in multiple different languages and it just became absolute chaos. In the tiny claustrophobic cabin on a, on a airplane. It's not the kind of place that you want to hear that kind of screaming. Many things passed through my head. I thought it could be like a cardiac arrest. Someone having a health issue. And then eventually we began to realize that this was more likely than that, some kind of violent situation or a security breach of some sort. And I remember somebody grabbing like a handful of his hair. I just jerked his head back. His neck just snapped backward. And then he let out this really powerful scream. One of the passengers began to ask around for things that they could use to tie him up. They wrapped headphones around him and my brother took off his belt and he gave it to one of the passengers and they used it to help portray in this person. Nobody was really listening to any of the flight attendants. The aisles were completely overcrowded. One of the male flight attendants is standing next to him. He's still struggling. And then I see from behind the back of the plane they start to pass a fire extinguisher up, hand by hand. At that point I didn't know if there was a fire. I didn't know what was going on. They pass us up. They pass us forward to the flight attendant. And then he just takes a fire extinguisher and hits the person basically on the nose. The visual of seeing somebody swing a butt of a fire extinguisher onto someone's face was just shocking. At one point I remember seeing a pair of shoes, big tennis shoes. The flight attendant was holding them and he was running the back of the plane with this pair of shoes. The pilot announced that there had been a security breach on the flight and that the flight was being diverted from Miami to Boston. The pilot also said that they don't know if the person was working alone, so he suggested that everyone get to know their neighbors, which was really chilling, really terrifying. We were right in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The flight attendants had this system where people would like rotate, keeping an eye on him. There was always somebody sitting behind him. The people that sat behind him actually held his hair. Eventually actually the flight attendants put the movie legally blonde on. I think they thought it would help calm people down a little bit. But there was this really, really nervous energy. People didn't really know how seriously to take this. The pilot at one point asked if there was a U.S. Marshall on board. The pilot asked a couple times and nobody ever came forward. If they're asking for the Marshall, it must be something really serious. As we were approaching the U.S., the pilot announced that we would be escorted by fighter jets. All the little kids on the plane got really excited. They all ran to the windows to look at the jets. Those fighter jets were there essentially to shoot down your plane if it's hijacked. It was amazing to watch them. You just see this fighter jet that's going the same speed as the plane. You know, you kind of knew those more sinister reasons that they were there. Eventually we do land and it's a pretty normal standard landing. We're part way out in the middle of nowhere on the tarmac, really far from the airport. And then a SWAT team, heavily armored, storms on board, massive guns. It looked like a Hollywood movie. They knew exactly what they were doing. They cut the passenger loose. He was really groggy still from the drugs that they had given him earlier. And essentially they just dragged him off the plane. They also took the shoes that they had taken to the back of the plane earlier. They took those off the plane. It took them off the plane as quickly as they could. We waited around for a little while longer and then we basically disembarked just like normal. And I remember walking past the seat where this guy had been sitting. It's just like a mess of plastic and headphones and like the belt that my brother had given to tie him up was cut into a couple little pieces. We were in the middle of the tarmac so we got off through like steps. We didn't get off at a gate. They shuttle us too. I believe it was a baggage claim terminal in Boston Airport. They had these metal fences lined up to separate us from the rest of the baggage claim area. We waited there for what seemed like hours. Families were getting really uncomfortable. People were getting hungry. Little kids were crying. Some of the passengers began like shaking the metal grates. I remember an FBI agent interviewing my brother and myself and my dad. What had happened on the flight, where were we going, where were we coming from, felt like an interrogation, actually made me really angry, it pissed me off a lot. We had been treated like cattle sitting in the baggage claim, and now the FBI agent was talking to me and my brother as if we were somehow in on this. They moved us from the baggage claim area to just a normal terminal, and we finally got a chance to make a phone call and talk to my mom. We went to a pay phone and made the phone call, hearing my mom over the phone line just hysterical. Then she told us that it was all over the news. Once passengers were safely at the terminal, the bomb squad boarded the American Airlines plane to retrieve the shoe. And Boston, height and security now includes asking about matches and inspecting shoes. The person who they took off the plane had tried to smuggle a bomb on the plane. And we had been completely oblivious. He had been attempting to light a bomb that he had smuggled an issue with a book of matches that he -- that was the smell of matches that my brother and I had smelled. He had been repeatedly trying to light this wick in his shoe. The flight attendant actually passed by once, noticed that he was trying to light a match and told him to stop. She assumed he was trying to light a cigarette or something. And then when she came back and saw he was trying to light the match again, she tried to stop him. When she realized that he was trying to light this match and he actually had his shoe on his left, she tried to reach out to grab the shoe, and then he actually bit her on the hand, that's when she started screaming and struggling with him. Now, I remember seeing his shoes being passed to the back of the plane and not really thinking much of it. I didn't realize that there was essentially C4 in those shoes. He had actually tried to get on the same flight the day before, but he was stopped by security because he raised a lot of red flags. He had a one-way ticket, he had no luggage, he had paid for the ticket in cash, so they actually stopped interrogated him. Because of that, he had missed his flight. All the hotels around the airport were all booked. He had to take a hotel room kind of far from the airport. Following day, it rained, his shoes got wet. It turned out that the wig he was trying to light had gotten too moist, and he was unable to light it. If it hadn't rained that day or if he had been a little more relaxed, he may have been successful. We actually didn't realize how close we were until afterwards, he was shocking. We had spent the rest of that flight and I don't know how long, four or five hours with the bomb essentially, but instead we were just bored and annoyed, watching legally blonde. I haven't seen it since, actually, that was the last time. Perfect, is it ready or at all? That's perfect. Yeah, that was a well told. That was amazing. Cool, man. Can't wait to hear it. Yeah. It sounds like such a fascinating concept. Yeah. It's something kind of different we're trying to make, man. Yeah. We're excited about it. That's really cool. Kind of a little bit of departure from what we had been doing, which is more like a deep dive. Investigative thing. Yeah. This is more of a collection of short stories and sometimes you have less sensitive stuff. Yeah. But like kind of more like real life horror stories. That's really cool. Yeah. So Richard Reed, a.k.a. the shoe bomber, is now serving three consecutive life terms plus 110 years without parole. And he's now chilling in the Federal Supermax Prison in Florence, Colorado. Actually, it's the same prison where El Chapo is at. And if you don't know who that is, I can't help you there. All right. I'm actually here with the evil mastermind radio rental himself. You can. That's me. You guys can thank him for all the scares and nightmares. I mean, I've scared myself making this show to be honest. This story actually is episode one. The first story in episode one is also the very first story we ever recorded. I didn't know what I was even making at that point. The goal in the beginning in still is one of the main goals of radio rental was I wanted to have stories that felt sort of supernatural, but the ending was always something much more real. Oh my god. There's a terrorist on the plane. To me, the scariest monsters are people. If you don't believe in ghosts, then ghosts won't scare you or ghost story won't scare you. I wanted to introduce this fun creepy world of the video store, 80s horror aesthetic, but have almost true crime stories in the show, living under a different framework as if they were supernatural or something. Right. There's a moment I remember editing that first story. He was talking about how the guy was strangely tall and the music kind of gets spacey there. And in my head, I'm picturing almost like an alien or something, absurdly tall person that you're now kind of suspicious of, just these little subconscious easter eggs that I'm putting in. If I felt it, I try to pull it that a little bit more. The best part about each episode and each story is that you don't know where it's going to go. That is what we try to play with. And you know that question, would you rather encounter a human in the woods at night or a bear, which is creepier? A bear. You pick bear? Or are you rather human in the woods? That's the only description I get. Obviously, bad intentions. Oh. I'd be having a bear. I'm not signing up for random, roulette, human. What do you guys think? Would you rather have a weird creepy guy in the woods that you meet or a bear? All they think about that, let's go ahead and take a break. Cool. All right. We're back. Actually, this is the first time we're doing this. We put out a hotline for you guys. And we're just going to hear some weird shit you guys have to say. I don't know what to expect. All right. First one. I'm bottle feeding a baby right now. I didn't. I didn't. They don't last late in the switch. I can't. I'm sorry. Bottle feeding a baby? Why are you calling? You're busy. Okay. Next. I knew it was going to be weird. I'm from Portland, Oregon. Me and my friends. We were walking along the trail. We heard a sound. It was never heard before. It was like a cross between a dying whale and a robot. A electronic whale robot. It was horrifying. We never heard that sound before. Almost later, my friends were up on the nature reserve. I heard the sound again and saw something skinny and taller than the trees. Anyway. Bye. Taller than the tree. I've always wanted to see a real alien. What would you do if you met an alien? Met an alien? Yeah. What am I allowed to say on the show? Just stuff for science. What? All right. Let's find some other routes. Hey. Is this the radio rental shop? My name is Luke. I'm from Alaska. I just, I gotta tell you. It's been a real long time since I've been scared. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I just feel very comfortable. And I'm not liking it so much. So, I'd really like to know when you guys are coming back with some more spooky stories. So, whatever you get around, do it. Give me a call back. What was his name? His name is Luke from Alaska. Luke from Alaska says he hasn't been scared in a long time. Yeah. What's his name? He's feeling too comfortable. Yeah, it's hit him up. Call him right now. I'm scared to shit out of him. Say it to me. 907. Okay, Luke. What kind of voice were you? Luke? Oh. It is. Did you call my number? Did you? You know what this is. You said you'd never been scared. Not in a long time. Did we give it away? No. You may or may not be on a podcast. I really appreciate the happy Saturday. All right. Thanks for calling us though. Later, Luke. Shit. All right. You're so sick. You're so sick. You're so sick. Wait. The show is sick? You're so sick. I love listening to your stories when I'm taking a shower. And that's pretty much the only time I ever listened to this. No other time. The only shower. Hopefully you shower in between the time that we were coming out. I thought I couldn't pay attention to a podcast in the shower. Those are our 45-minute showers. Yeah. [MUSIC] Cool. I stopped by the three of the gates, but they were bored on the windows. That's fine. That's closed for reparations. I don't know how long that can be. But get back to me. Reparations. Reparations. You mean the restorations, of course. We're closing it down. This message is for Malatine. My cat Fred would like to know if you are available for drinks. I definitely live in Illinois. Okay. Let us know. Text us that. Yeah. Maybe we'll hook them up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm into that. Yeah. All right. So Malatine's got a lot of fans. Definitely. Yeah. Hell yeah. All right. Next one. [MUSIC] Why did that actually scare me? It's so annoying. [MUSIC] So where did like the first idea of Rader Rental come from? Like the initial just spark or creative, whatever? Several different things. things. I grew up in the 90s. I was born in 87. I went to blockbuster that was the coolest thing to do always beggin my mom to take me there yeah like that was the coolest Friday night ever was getting permission to go to blockbuster getting candy and watching a scary movie right one that my mom would let me rent yeah I've always just the nostalgia of that time period and just the entire aesthetic of it is obviously fun I mean stranger things made it even more popular and they dialed it in perfectly I think I just fell in love with the idea of creating a world that real stories lived in I remember early on I was pitching the show out to different people and it was so hard for me to describe what it is I was trying to make there's this video store there's this guy who's kind of funny in between you place these tapes and that's the stories that you hear and was like wait wait is it real is it not real like no it's both to like this is never gonna work I'm like maybe it won't but I probably yeah yeah it's an element to fun to it even though it's some of these stories are crazy and scary even traumatic for people yes it's like a levity to it and a bit of fun and entertaining piece to it that just makes it a crazier ride but it's fun at the end of the day so speaking of not so fun things we've got another story oh boy check out this one is this one it's the trucker oh I remember this yeah right here good this will be super simple I'm just gonna ask you some questions kind of props you and take you through it's obviously it's not live or our goal is to make it sound good we'll edit it so you could like okay you like just kind of ask people like just kind of set the stage for me like just where when this all go down what were you doing what was your job like to set the stage for me August of 2008 I just got into truck driving and it was like second trip out by myself like this is brand new to me I used to do the thing that they taught me in trucking school where you take a ratchet strap and you'd ratchet through the inside of your door and come back together to keep it so somebody couldn't open your door while you're sleeping I was just so nervous from everything everybody had said before going into it so I had been near Zainesville Ohio and I stopped at a rest area an actual interstate rest area with the little restrooms and the vending machines and the rest areas out in Ohio are kind of different in the sense that out there near the toll road they're like travel classes where they're one step below a truck stop they don't have showers but they're convenient stores they're a big long road trucks probably park a 3040 trucks there and who knows how many cars you know it's a pretty wide lot this place that was pulled into was in a more darker area like this area was significantly darker than the front of the store and I remember when I pulled in I pulled into the spot I stopped there I clicked my breaks and I'm sitting there looking down at my logbook doing my deal and I looked up and I noticed that there was a female walking towards me probably like a five foot four five foot five blonde gal looked to be in her late 30s comes walking up to me knocks on the door and said hey do you have any money my instant thought was oh here we go she's gonna come to me and she's gonna say hey you know 50 bucks you want to have some fun and I'm thinking well I even if I wanted to you I got 50 bucks I just want to get on my day give to tell that she was probably in her late 30s but she looks pretty rundown she's probably in a bad situation in a life maybe she's homeless but if I would have had some spare script to buy her dinner I would have and I said no I'm a truck driver I have any money a lot of the times when somebody asked you for money and you say no I ain't got none they're like well come on man you ain't got a couple bucks you ain't got some change well hey can you can you spot me five bucks or something not man I got well what about 50 cents you got any change at all now I got what about a cigarette man you got a cigarette she didn't do any of that she said okay well I need to walk to the restrooms do you mind following me to the front my observational awareness carried out I'm kind of looking around like well that's a strange question we were not even a football field away from the travel plaza itself because those truck spots are kind of far back we weren't really far enough for me to justify needing an escort I looked to her and I said you know what no I'm not going inside the building I don't want to go inside the building inside my head it's something wasn't right so I got back into the truck and sat there for a second and there's a guy that's kind of pacing back and forth with a cigarette in his mouth he came around like some sort of like four to or beat down cars watching both of us with a cigarette in his mouth real intently just sitting there staring and you could tell that he was dark iron towards us doing that slow nervous gate back and forth back and forth staring at us he was watching what I was doing and it was watching in a very he had that look on his face like I'm going to get you and I'm just waiting for you to come here he didn't look front he didn't look to the side he just looks straight at us and you could see because he was standing underneath one of those sodium lights those orange lights that are real bright and you could see the had tattoos on his head you could tell that that was a head tattoo from a mile away the expression that he had was kind of like a come on guy like come on like he was ready for an altercation it was like I'm waiting for you because I'm going to attack you she had a good advantage inside my truck so she knew that I was alone so I was like man I just need to get out of here I carry a firearm everywhere I go including that day one of the things that you trained on is is always having an escape plan always get yourself out of conflict if this guy is gonna have a conflict I'm in Ohio I really don't want to have to do something bad here in Ohio and have to answer for it I just need to get out of here she had walked past him and he stayed staring at me and I'm like well this guy already knows that I'm alone so I got back in my truck and drove off I third gear the truck okay his big truck's got more gears and standard so I third gear the truck out of there and I'm pulling out and I kind of watched the mirror a little bit is she kind of just stood there start to stroll up towards the front not exactly towards old boy but I could see that he was watching too as I pulled out and I'm driving down the road and I thought I said well that was pretty strange call the buddy you mind he was like yeah man that's pretty weird ha ha maybe she was trying to get in your truck and have some fun and he made some jokes about that and I thought that's the only thing that I could be because that's what I figured is that's the only thing is that this she looked like the type that would probably engage in that activity so I figured that that's what it was when I left actually I'd have to mind to call 911 and when I left I thought well maybe this this gal was afraid of this guy but the problem is is when you're by yourself in a state that you're not from they're gonna rob me or or you know maybe this is a guy that's trying to put her out on the street or something like that and I just didn't want no part of it the way he was carrying himself was he was there with a purpose that was other than smoking a cigarette and that's when I made a decision where I'm not even going to go to the truck stop to use the restroom I'll use the restroom on the side of the road down the ways there well about a year later probably a little better of a year about a year and a half I'm watching a TV show and there's this fella on this TV show where they're talking about him killing a truck driver and Missouri wow that's crazy like I got to watch this because I'm a truck driver by train so I'm watching I'm looking at this guy and I kind of scratched my head and I'm like this guy looks really familiar and I see this guy talking then the first thing I noticed is he's got tattoos on his head he talked about that he wanted to be like Bonnie and Clyde so they nicknamed them the body and Clyde murders of Missouri they did the same thing asking for money will you go inside the the rest area with me man followed her inside the rest area thinking that he was helping her guy was standing there watching him came around the corner shot the truck driver in the face this guy was out the lunch with himself he he was talking about on how he was the anti-Christ he loves to murder he wants the death penalty because he'll kill again that he had actually killed like three other people and that he was murder and truck drivers because they were easy targets these are people that are alone 99% of their time and when they get attention from anyone it's kind of like the dog that's never been with its owner in 10 years and just all of a sudden it's wagon its tail by chance he got arrested in Nebraska for DUI and he had a warrant out for his arrest for the Zainsville Ohio murder first of a truck driver then they put two and two together with one in Missouri and they were able to DNA trace it back to both of them when I went to bed I had like kind of a weird dream about the whole deal and I remember I woke up and I told my wife I said those those people are the ones that I seen so I go through and I I'm reading this article about these two people that killed a guy at a at a rest stop in Missouri and talks about on how they killed somebody two weeks before in Zainsville Ohio at the same rest area that I had been through they show a mug shot of the female whose name was Dana Tudor I definitely had a sick feeling and it's the female that came up to me and asked me if I would go inside the building with her and if I had any money not a doubt in my mind so this prompted me to think like maybe if I would have said yes I'm gonna walk in there I might have got whacked definitely a feeling that situation on observational awareness is like a must no matter what you do I think what happens is is that there's people who they're born with mental illness already and they get exposed to extreme traumatic events and they don't have the ability to justify what they're doing and they almost become above godlike where they think that it's appropriate in the case of somebody like John Hughes that believes he's the anti-Christ that thinks that he's fulfilling a mission it gets pretty dangerous we see a David crash we see with Jones town we see with all these major things where these guys think that they're on a mission and typically when they drop terms like the anti-Christ or I'm doing the devil's work or something like that there are people that fully believe that what they're doing is of such a higher power I would like to know his background where he came from I think that is the kind of guy that we want to know where he came from because it would tell us pretty big story. Once I got adopted and came to a foster family out here in Arizona, I got real big in horse culture. And the one thing that I've always been taught about horses is they are emotional creatures. They do not react by sight once, however, everything is by emotion. You can sit on a horse and be 100% calm and have a horse act like the best horse on the face of the earth and I can put somebody that's hostile and that horse will act like she's brand new. So when I get into a situation and I read the emotion of it and that emotion is hot and tense, I'm like, "Bye Felicia, I ain't staying." I come from kind of a weird childhood in the sense that my childhood was very violent and dark. So coming from that, I have a weird perception that I can almost recognize that. Where when I see somebody that doesn't look good, I'm not the person that's like, "Well, maybe he's just confused." I'm like, "No, this guy is probably messed up." And I don't want to come near you. So I'm going to stay away, right? Somebody that robs somebody at the core, if somebody comes up to me and says, "Man, I got to feed my family, I'm robbing you because I need to feed my family, I'm going to turn over my wallet, I'm going to turn over everything." Whatever. I got insurance. Move on. My bank cover. I don't even care. There's a whole different level in somebody that takes your wallet and then shoots you in the face. Yeah, because that's like, what's the point? You know, like, you didn't want to just rob me. You wanted to kill me, because if you came prepared with the mental mindset of killing somebody, it's because you wanted to. It has nothing to do with money. You look at his interview, he has no problem alluding to that, that he quote unquote says, "Literally, I am the anti-Christ." That's crazy. Shit. Well, I won't keep you guys, bro. Yeah, I appreciate it. Oh, man. Stay with us, man. Thank you. I appreciate it. Nice to meet you, John. Hey, you too, brother, are you safe? Yeah, man. Yeah, man. John Hughes and his girlfriend, Dana Tudor, who were like a modern day, Bonnie, and Clyde, except not as cool, were charged with killing a truck driver at a Northwest Missouri rest stop in September 2008. Just days earlier, Hughes stabbed a man in Zaynville, Ohio. Then Hughes was apprehended in York County, Nebraska after being pulled over for a DUI. So yeah, don't drink and drive. Damn. Yep. Bad dude. Yeah. Really bad dude. Yeah. I'm pretty sure he was in jail when he got charged with the second murderer. This guy is, I think, a legitimate serial killer. And look him up. He looks like a serial killer. He looks like a bad man. He has the outfit, the look. Yes. It's what you're thinking or worse. I mean, the trucker has good instincts, though, because he is close to getting, you know, not being here. Yeah. Which would be a very bizarre thing in hindsight years later to imagine, man, I could have been a victim of a serial killer. Yeah. I don't know a lot of people, well, I guess I, I know some, I know more than most people, which says a lot about me, I guess. We usually don't know a lot of people who can say that they almost died by the hands of a serial killer. That's got to mess with you a little bit, especially when you kind of go back and replay it. And I'm sure there was a moment where you may have questioned your own gut instincts and always like this kind of stories because people have these sort of gut feeling moments. And there's not always a really articulate explanation for it. But you know when you know something, I think this sort of fight or flight or sensing something is wrong. We all kind of have a different version of that human instinct. And a lot of these stories like this one are a prime example of kind of listening to your gut. Yeah. I just love this guy's stories. Trust your gut. Trust your gut. So take a quick break. All right, guys, appreciate you hanging out with us today. It's been fun. It's been creepy. It's been weird. It has been the voicemails were weird. I'm coming back every week just for that. I'm okay. I'm gonna sit right here just to hear your voicemails. And I'll be here every week for the rest of the stuff and the voicemails, but I'm committed to that part. Yeah. Because I feel like this might be just the beginning of something even weirder. And I'm here for that. So yeah, let's see if you can scare us or weird us out. That's a challenge. Yeah. We did our part. Now it's your turn. Yeah. Call us. I dare you. Later. [MUSIC]
