Hi, everyone. Welcome to NMR. It's your mother and your father. Yes. Hello, mommy.

When is this one going to air? When is this one going to air? This great question. This one will be on

Patreon early, like probably today. We're recording this on Friday. And then it'll be on public on Sunday the 25th.

Okay. So we're missing your big birthday day. Well, then happy birthday, John Thrasher. What are we doing to celebrate? Yes, 22, baby. 22. Be sweet to yourself.

Okay, 22.

You're right. Yeah. I'm more mature than 21, so that's a good. Exactly. Yes, 22 years old. Hi, guys. Hi. What am I doing to celebrate? Darren, I don't know if you're aware. Well, I'm sure you are actually because you're on the East Coast. There's a gigantic storm coming.

I know.

Trust me.

I'm supposed to fly out on Sunday.

Oh, no. Back to L.A. And, like, what's weird, though, about this weather? First off, like the Costco line this morning was crazy. I understand that, like, big storms happen. But I just find that people really over exaggerate these things and they really freak out.

And I'm not saying this flight, this like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, what are you going to do? And I'm like, I'll just get figure it out.

Another flight. Like, that is available. Like, people are just like, every time it's like, it's like

baby's first storm when these things

happen like you know this one does seem to be bigger than usual so i will give those that crowd that

but yes i do think the i think you know remember the early days of the pandemic where like you couldn't

find milk and toilet paper because people thought we were going to, which, of course, that's a whole different thing because that is basically what happened. But I don't know. It's just like, yeah, like, do we need to like, like, completely buy every single piece of bread? I can't remember a time in my life, you know, and I'm just talking about where I live. Like, it could be entirely different when you're not, when you're in a suburb. And I understand that. But, like, I can't think of a time in my life where, like, I couldn't go to a grocery store. Like. And just get the things that I need. But, like, where we've been snowed in can't go anywhere for four days., I'm lucky enough if I live in a suburb of a city where like if I had to, I could walk to a grocery store. And that grocery store has always been open. So you understand that there's different conversations. I just like, do you remember her, were you in the city for Hurricane Irene in like 2011? I think it was right before I moved up there, yeah.

Okay, so this was before Superstorm Sandy, which obviously half the city was gone, and I

understand Super Storm Sandy, but I remember all of us like hunkered down in my apartment

in the Upper West Side, like, people bought candles.

It was literally nothing.

It ended up just being rain, and I'm not saying that this won't be anything, but like, will I be on, it's not like I'm never going to fly back to L.A. Yeah, I know. It's true. Well, first of all, let me tell you, yes, I feel like for New York City, it looks like it's hitting on Sunday. So that's for you to take. Yeah. Well, I have a 7 a.m. flight, so I'm hoping that I'll
