Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of Beyond the Blinds.

As always, it's Kelly and Troy and this week our Patreon episode was very, very late and we do apologize, but I'm going to have Troy tell the story because Troy does most of our editing if I edit an episode you'll realize the theme song isn't in it. So that's when you know that I did the editing, but Troy tell the people what happened because I am still in shock.

Okay, so we're in Boston. It's my first time there. We're enjoying each other's company Kelly and I had met for the first time earlier that night.

So we were like champagne tipsy like literally having so much fun riding this high. I had just gotten great seafood. It was just excited for the next day because the next day was our live show.

Which we'll of course we'll talk a little bit about and I wanted to go get some stuff from my hotel room as one does. I went to 7 11 and I went to Walgreens and a couple of little stores. And when I was at 7 11, me being a flustered midwestern just fucking whole hum idiot.

I had all of my shit out including my phone and my wallet and because I had my phone and my wallet in the same hand, I think I assume that I had them both because I had my phone.

And I got back to the hotel and I'm like, wait a minute, I don't have my wallet, my ID, my social security card, all of my credit cards, my debit, my Vax card, like nothing, my library card, everything's fine.

And I never found it. I spent the rest of the night looking for it, you know, going all over the little area that we were in. People at the bar were helping us some stranger at the bar gave me $100. It was a real ordeal.

So I spent the next few days, including the day of our show, trying to piece my fucking life back together in another state, knowing, by the way, that I would have to go through TSA without an ID. So it was crazy.

Now, how did that go, Troy, for the people who maybe, hopefully this never happens to anybody, but if it does, how did that work out?

If this happens to you, I will tell you what to do because it might and you'll remember that the sound of my voice. Call the airport, let them know that you're coming and let them know your situation so they can expect you.

Go at least three hours early, go to the airport. They're going to have you answer security questions about your life. My security questions were a family members name. I chose my mom her birthday and the city that I was there that she was born in whatever.

They dump out all your luggage. They check all all of your suffer bombs. They like look through your computer. They open up everything and shake it. They wipe everything down like

Excuse me, I just fucking burped, but they literally I had to repack like I I sat at TSA barefoot packing my luggage. I shit was everywhere. Like it was a fucking mess, but I did get through. It's possible that you can get through for short. You just if you get one of those security questions wrong. No, you won't be able to get through.

Was my uncle able to help you at all. My uncle is an insane person and wanted Troy's a wallet that night. He's like, where is it? I need to find it.

Your uncle became full. He was like, Zorro. He was like, I'm going to defend justice where justice is needed. No, he had like a phone number for me to just like contact in case.

And at a certain point, I had to just it was like the heart of the ocean. I had to throw it and just let it go. You know what I mean? Because I was like, I'm not going to get it back. Yeah, you know, I have to like start planning for replacing all this stuff. So, but I was very appreciative of your uncle though.

Well, on a lighter note, our show in Boston. Thank you so much. If you came. We I'm still on a high.

Yeah, we had so much fun. It was so cool getting to know our listeners and we're so fucking appreciative of the people who drove and flew from other cities and states like you guys turned out. It was amazing.

I do apologize for my drunk cousin standing up during the middle of our question and answer. Just going, yeah.

Yeah.

I apologize. He took away from someone's question, but hopefully you liked the fact I just told him to shit, shit down. Oh my god, sit down.
