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.
03:22Bye.
03:44Call it.
03:46Call it.
03:47Give it!
03:50Bye.
03:52Today, we're starting right at the beginning with how to hold the harmonica.
04:09Angle it more?
04:12Perfect.
04:13I 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, and they're not at the comedy club at the same
04:29damn 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.
04:41The 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 finally chill the fuck out.
04:52Considering that no one's going outside.
04:54But they still killing us.
04:55You remember something there?
04:57Yeah.
04:58No, no.
04:58I'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.
05:04Hi.
05:39What's up, man?
05:41Everything all right?
05:42Yeah.
05:43Yeah.
05:44I mean, no.
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.
06:05So, how is Scully, anyway?
06:08Uh, I'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?
07:59How about you?
08:25How about you?
08:25Come on now.
08:25Help me now.
08:25I have your jobbar in the room somewhere else.
08:26I'm sure you want me to trust you.
08:27I'm good, man.
08:28Here's your desk.
09:31There he is.
09:32Hey.
09:33It's a bad time?
09:34Are you kidding?
09:36Just in time for dinner.
09:37Here's my masterpiece.
09:38There you go.
09:40I put so much garlic in there, you could probably smell it through your screen.
09:45That ought to cure your COVID.
09:47Actually, I put some bleach in it, you know, just in case.
09:49But don't tell my boys.
09:51They're very picky eaters.
09:53So what's up?
09:56Whatever's up anymore, huh?
09:58Nothing.
09:59Well, you called me, so something's the matter.
10:03Wait, you run out of TP again?
10:06I, uh, called Raquel.
10:10Ah, how'd that go?
10:12It didn't.
10:13I hung up before she could answer.
10:18Did you know that she's already dating someone else?
10:20I'm sorry.
10:21Not, not dating.
10:22Uh, uh, cohabitating.
10:24Doing quarantine.
10:25All right.
10:26All right, man.
10:27People don't like being alone.
10:29Yeah.
10:30I'm aware.
10:32Yeah.
10:33Hey, Tommy, will you come here and stir this for me while I sit out back?
10:36Hey, you know what?
10:37You can call me back some other time, man.
10:38It's okay.
10:38No, no, no.
10:39It's fine.
10:39It's fine.
10:40It's fine.
10:40It's fine.
10:40I wanna talk to you.
10:41Hey, and, uh, and when I say stir it, I mean you gotta sit next to it the whole time
10:44while
10:45I'm gone, okay?
10:45The whole time?
10:48Because that's how risotto works!
10:50Good God.
10:52Ah.
10:53Sorry.
10:53Continue.
10:54Go ahead.
10:55That's stupid.
10:57Especially when so many people have actual problems, you know?
11:02You know what it's like when the only living thing you see all day is a fucking houseplant?
11:08Meanwhile, people have wives or a kid or a jacked up quarantine fuck buddy?
11:14Yeah.
11:16Yeah.
11:18Did I ever tell you about the, the bender that I went on after my wife left me?
11:24Yeah.
11:28My sons were like three and five.
11:31Oh, it was fucking epic.
11:32Ugh.
11:34Middle of the night.
11:35She, she takes him, right?
11:37So, I wake up next morning and I'm like, uh, where's my fucking family?
11:43Huh.
11:44So, I call in sick to work, I throw a case of High Life in my truck and I, you
11:50know, spend
11:50the day driving around in circles around her parents' neighborhood.
11:56And it, it did not get me my kids back.
12:00But it did get me a restraining order and a DUI.
12:03I'm sorry.
12:07Sounds rough, man.
12:14I just wish, uh, I just wish Raquel could see me.
12:21Now that I'm different.
12:23Yeah.
12:25Shit doesn't work if you're doing it to prove something.
12:28You know.
12:30Your main job now is to just focus on you.
12:35If I focus on me anymore, I'm gonna get myself pregnant.
12:40Yeah.
12:41It's not easy.
12:43It's not easy being by yourself, man.
12:46But, at the end of the day, it's really all we got.
12:51And I know you're going nuts.
12:53Stuck at home.
12:54By yourself.
12:55But, you're a creative guy.
12:57Maybe you oughta use this time to figure out how to keep yourself company.
13:02Dad!
13:03It's stuck to the bottom!
13:05Hey, go eat your food, man.
13:07Don't worry about me.
13:08Really.
13:09Yeah?
13:10You sure you're okay?
13:10Yeah.
13:11I mean, I will be.
13:15Alright.
13:16Well, you call me anytime, okay?
13:19I'm here.
13:20I love you, man.
13:21Thanks, man.
13:21Love you, too.
13:22Oh, wait.
13:22How are you gonna stir that from the couch?
13:24You got a ten-foot spoon hidden someplace?
13:40I'm so lonely.
13:43Say cheese.
13:45I'm so lonely.
13:46I'm so lonely.
13:51I'm so lonely.
13:54I'm so lonely.
13:56I'm so lonely.
13:57I get lonely.
13:59For you, baby.
14:03Yes, it's you I want.
14:07Only, baby.
14:09Only, baby.
14:11Ain't no woman been in my life since I met you.
14:18That's why I can't figure out why you're doing the thing that you do.
14:28Can I open it?
14:38I knew you were up to something.
14:42I'm so lonely, baby.
14:46Man, I'm supposed to have to live like this.
14:50I'm so lonely.
14:54I'm so lonely.
14:57I'm so lonely.
14:57I'm so lonely.
14:58I'm so lonely.
15:00I'm so lonely.
15:02I'm so lonely.
15:03I'm so lonely.
15:03I'm so lonely.
15:04I'm so lonely.
15:05I'm so lonely.
15:05I'm so lonely.
15:05I'm so lonely.
15:06I'm so lonely.
15:07I'm so lonely.
15:09I'm so lonely.
15:10I'm so lonely.
15:12I'm so lonely.
15:12I'm so lonely.
15:16I'm so lonely.
15:44So I dropped out.
15:47Moved home.
15:50Broke up with my boyfriend because everybody knows the long distance thing ever works.
15:58And when I first got sober, I thought the accident was my bottom.
16:03But that was only part of it.
16:06It was all the things I threw away after.
16:12So now I'm right back where I started.
16:15Sleeping in my old room.
16:20Trying to start over again.
16:24Only, I don't know how to make a new life for myself when there is no future to make.
16:54I don't know how to make the new life for myself.
17:00I am not sure how to make the new life for myself.
17:01you're making me seasick that's because you're trying to fight it you got to move
17:04with emotion like you're riding a horse when have you ever gone to horseback
17:08riding once when my parents forced me to go to summer adventure camp a counselor
17:12put me on a pony named butterscotch butterscotch
