We're back, we're back. It's a distraction. I'm through. That's Rob. Happy Thanksgiving,

Walt, how are you doing? Happy Thanksgiving to you, man. I, uh, I am feeling okay. I was, I took a long weekend with my wife up in what, uh, we hear in the Northeast call of McGarry country, which is, uh, I guess, Northwest Connecticut, the scenic part of Connecticut.

Oh, wow. Wow. That's nice. It's pretty up there. So you willingly went, like, on a weekend getaway to, like, where my parents used to live? Yeah, well, there's a company that does, like, McGarry Family Heritage Tours. So you can see a lot of the spots that were significant in your upbringing. So it was me, there's a lot of Europeans on the tour and a lot of Japanese people. Star maps of the fucking burqures.

Yeah, which I thought was really nice, the idea of being like, this is that here at Kent Falls,

Drew got a boner once. And it was embarrassing. Was there really like a tour thing? No.

Like you go to like very sad New England historical societies and shit. This is so embarrassing. My wife read an article in the New York Times that was like 36 hours in this part of Connecticut. And we were just like and then we wound up doing like four of the six things they recommended. Like it was like she was kind of like, I don't know if we're going to have time to get to

this orchard.

And I was like, it doesn't matter. Like, we're not, you don't get like a, you know, special challenge coin for having completed the New York Times 36 hours in Connecticut challenge. You get a badge now. We had a nice time. You got badge from their app. And that's no small there.

Can I share one crazy thing that was happening near where we were... He's good, though. We had a nice time. We got badge from their app, and that's no small there.

Can I share one crazy thing that was happening near where we were staying? We were in the sort of Hallmark Stars Hollow belt of Connecticut. Everything's really pretty. It's nice.

There's nothing to fucking do. There is very little to do. If the weather sucks as it did,

you're basically like driving to a bunch of scenic hikes and doing some of it and then being like, I don't like this at all.

We did do some cool stuff.

But next to the very charming little inn that we stayed at in Kent, Connecticut, there is a big art gallery that had a show of massive paintings by Rob Zombie. No shit. Were they good? Yeah. They were like, imagine what a Rob Zombie painting would look like. Yeah, but I mean, he's like, he went to Parsons for a while. He was a major artist. You know, I mean, there's clearly, like, talent there. Of course. The thing that's, like, I'm trying to, I'm going to write about him for a friend's newsletter just because it's like, if you go see an entire gallery show of Rob Zombie paintings, it feels like you got to not keep that to yourself, right? Like, the people need to know. And they are exactly, like, what you would expect. Like, they look like comic books or, like, sort of garrish, like, 50s movie posters for, like, you know, invasion from planet comics or whatever. Like Tim Burton Halloween type shit, right? Yeah. Right. The main color scheme, I would describe it as lemonlime gatorade. That just suffuses through the work.

Oh, that's not good.

I don't like that.

I thought it would be like blood rain. Well, there's some of that. But what's funny about it is that it's like, it's just, it's not the sort of thing where you have to, like, interpret it. It's like a big painting of Telly Savalus and then like the words Charles Manson above it or something.

And it's just like any thought that was in his head.

Was that asking? It's like a big painting of Teli Savalas and then like the words Charles Manson above it or something.

And it's like any thought that was in his head.

Was that actually something or you just sort of?

That is legitimately, I'm combining two things.
