00:17I've been social distancing for months when the shit blew out.
00:20You know how it is when you stop hanging out with your party friends,
00:24who are also your only friends.
00:30Plus, my girlfriend just broke up with me.
00:41But that's cool because I still had work to go to every day,
00:46meetings every night, working through my steps, eating fudge stripes.
00:52Then the governor shut us down since barbershops are essential.
01:00But apparently, gun stores and liquor stores are.
01:06It's supposed to be two weeks. Remember that?
01:11So the business I spent the last ten years of my life building is closed until, uh, who the fuck
01:19knows when.
01:22Then the boys at the barbershop, they stopped talking to me because I pulled the plug on them seeing customers
01:26on the sly.
01:29I'm already buried and I'll go from this.
01:32What am I supposed to do? Spread the shit around over a paycheck?
01:37So, uh, it's been rough.
01:44But, uh, mostly I'm just grateful for having 118 days when this shitnado rolled into town.
01:53Because I know what the old me would have done.
01:57I would have crawled inside a bottle of Jim Beam and rolled this shit out from in there.
02:07Now these meetings are my lifeboat.
02:13So when the seas get rough and the waves of shit water start splashing up over the deck,
02:18I know I'll be alright.
02:20Cause you all are right here with me.
02:25Thanks, Ike.
02:27Does anyone else need a raincoat?
02:31Just, just kidding.
02:33Okay, uh, well time is up, so I'm going to unmute everyone to join me in the serenity prayer.
02:41God, God, grant me serenity.
02:44There's definitely things that I cannot change.
02:47The courage to change the things that I can.
02:49And the wisdom to know the difference.
02:53Thank you, everyone.
02:55Bye-bye.
02:57Bye, Charlotte.
02:58Bye.
02:59Bye, Sally.
03:00Bye.
03:36Hey, my god.
03:52Today, we're starting right at the beginning with how to hold the harmonica.
04:09Anglet more?
04:12Perfect.
04:13I'll fuck it up?
04:15I don't know.
04:16Let me see up close.
04:19Not bad.
04:21Any better, you might never come back to the shop.
04:23You kidding, man?
04:25Ten minutes with y'all is like a therapy session.
04:27And they're not at the comedy club at the same damn time.
04:31How's Nathan and T doing anyway?
04:34You know, like the rest of us.
04:35Hey, it's good on you for coming up with this.
04:38You know how many black folk got jobs they can work from home?
04:40One out of five.
04:42The rest of us are on the goddamn front lines, man.
04:44I'm afraid to leave my house.
04:45Hey, it's not much safer indoors with that no-knock bullshit.
04:49You know, a month ago, I thought the silver lining would be the pigs to find each other to fuck
04:52out,
04:52considering that no one's going outside.
04:54But they're still killing us.
04:55You understand the name?
04:57Yeah.
04:58No, no, I'm coming.
04:59I'm coming.
04:59Yo, I gotta get back to it.
05:01We good?
05:02Good enough.
05:03Hey, thanks for doing this, man.
05:04Stay safe.
05:04A'ight.
05:39What's up, man?
05:41Everything all right?
05:42Yeah.
05:43Yeah.
05:44I mean, no.
05:46I don't know.
05:46But, uh, I'll just call and say hi.
05:49You know?
05:50Yeah, cool.
05:51What's it been since, like, Scully's party?
05:55Sounds about right.
05:56Dude, the ice luge.
05:59Half my lips are still stuck to it.
06:02Good times, man.
06:04Good times.
06:05Yo, how is Scully, anyway?
06:08I'm not sure.
06:10It's, uh, it's been a minute.
06:13Whoa.
06:14You two were, like, blood brothers.
06:17I guess I must have pissed him off one too many times.
06:19What happened?
06:20You tried to bone his grandma, too?
06:24I'm really sorry about that, man.
06:26I didn't know she was in that bed.
06:28What are you talking about?
06:29That was fucking hilarious.
06:30Was it?
06:32Dude, you gotta do the thing.
06:34I don't think I can anymore.
06:36Grandma Betty, that's just like your free bird.
06:38I gotta see it.
06:39Come on.
06:39Let's hear it, man.
06:42Get your greasy paws off of me.
06:49Guess it's funnier when we're drunk.
06:52Cheers, man.
06:53That's a little early for me.
06:55Don't tell me you turned into one of these five o'clock people like my girlfriend.
06:58Day drink is all we got left.
07:02Actually, I'm trying to do the sober thing now.
07:07Wow.
07:09Well, you picked a hell of a time.
07:11I had some time in before all this started.
07:13Congratulations.
07:14Thanks, man.
07:15Feels good, you know?
07:17My head's clear.
07:18I don't wake up looking like balls anymore.
07:21And even though I can't go to my meetings in person, there's tons online.
07:25Which is good.
07:27Since the first thing they teach you about recovery is not to isolate.
07:30Sorry, man.
07:31Girlfriend keeps texting from upstairs about game night.
07:34I didn't know you guys lived together.
07:35It's only because of this.
07:37Plus, uh, he's got a kid.
07:39So, the three of us are here together all the damn time.
07:46Holy shit.
07:47He's adorable.
07:49Yeah.
07:50You gotta make him that way, otherwise you murder him halfway through Candyland.
07:53Hey, have fun.
07:55Um, great catching up with you.
07:57Where's that ice luge when you need it?
08:01If it was there's a hard time descriptor.
