| 0:00.0 | So we went to the North Georgia Mountains to be with my family. Okay, cool. Was going to be a three-day trip because... That sounds like you died. You went to be with your family. Oh, yeah, in their time of need. They're need of vacation. So, yeah, so Jordan and I went. It was going to be a three-day trip. We turned it into a two-day trip because he had to be back for work. Okay. Or messed up a bunch of stuff. |

| 0:02.8 | I did it. went it was going to be a three day trip we turned it into a two day trip because he had to be back |
| 0:20.9 | for work or must messed up a bunch of stuff yeah whatever i get it so yeah so we were like is it worth it |
| 0:27.4 | to drive six hours for just two nights and we ultimately decided sure we're young it's fine um also we wanted |
| 0:33.5 | a little break yeah we go have a wonderful get in the car to come home on Monday, |
| 0:42.4 | our car breaks down on the interstate, which we have always driven old cars. I'm accustomed to having to pull off the road and turn on my hazards and whatever. However, in all of my |
| 0:48.3 | years of cars breaking down, that has never occurred on the interstate and it has never occurred not it has |
| 0:56.3 | never occurred somewhere where I didn't know someone so like in college my college friends were |
| 1:01.3 | close by in you know traveling leaving right outside Tallahassee okay well literally my whole family |
| 1:07.2 | lives in Tallahassee like they can come come home. Yeah. Easy. Yeah. Birmingham. |

| 1:42.9 | Then not only has your car broken down, but you might die in the tow truck going up the exit ramp. |

We need our seatbelts. This is terrifying. I don't know how they do things in LaGrae. But we definitely need seatbelts. So we survived. Then I just have to say that there is nothing more upper middle class affluent than like getting your 2000 |
| 2:11.5 | four runner towed to the Toyota dealership after hours like everybody was closed and then like whipping out |
| 2:19.5 | your phone thinking I'm just going to get an Uber to take me to the hotel where we have to spend |
| 2:24.3 | a night. Yeah there are no Uber drivers in La Grange. Oh because I was like great I have solved this |
