So I guess where I would want to start is with the roommates that we had move in with us earlier this year.

Roommates and a baby, man. That's a, that's a brave combo.

Well, the idea was that they were a married couple that were at the same church as us, and the woman was

quite interested in helping. She was actually there when our baby was born to help.

Okay, and these are people you've known for a while or now?

We knew them for about a year.

Okay, got it.

And what's been going on?

The arc of them living with us, they are gone now.

They've been gone for a month.

They moved in, and we were sharing, you know, chores and cooking and sharing meals and staying up together and reading books, playing chess, and it was very fun.

And the guy was being a bad influence on me. He was urging me to smoke

cigarettes and play more video games and stay up late. Ah, and then we get into the time.

So we were members of this particular church,

and we had fell into disfavor with the church

because my wife refused to let our baby cry instead of breastfeater.

And this led to a kind of big incident where the priest kicked all this out of the church

and emailed the entire parish about it.

Well, what had happened was our roommates, I asked the woman to come with me to be a witness when the priest wanted to talk to me about this because I thought it would be appropriate to have another woman along.

And our roommate recorded the conversation. And this made the priest very angry because obviously the things he was recorded saying were not very flattering to him or the church.

Gosh, okay.

We all got kicked out of the church together, and this was something of a bonding experience.
