I said this on last week, so I won his Ron Garden Hair for Halloween.

0:53.3

A couple of reasons. One, I was looking for a good costume for a not skinny person, which I am. Which is, I'm not trying to make fun at Gardy, but there's only so many options. You can't really go as, I know, certain stuff when you're not skinny. I was going to go, we were going to go as Jerry Lane from Seinfeld, but I was like, I don't know. I don't want to be fat Jerry Seinfeld. It seems like a weird. So, yeah, I went, shaved my beard into a goatee. Right. And then spray painted the goat. I was going to dye it, but of course I didn't think ahead. So I just spray painted the goatee silver because I can't find a white spray. Was that just like spray paint?

Like, I don't know, we rented out of back room and everything. So then after, you know, three hours of that, we went and we just walked into the regular bar at Elsie's. I don't know why, but we're having a drink there. And I was just... Walking through the bar. Yeah yeah I was just standing there probably blocking a space

2:36.3

and a very small very mean uh I can only assume was from the east coast uh woman's basically

2:45.1

simply get on my way or something equivalent to that and I thought okay whatever and I out of the way, and then she walked like five feet in front of me and like

2:53.4

somehow kind of turned her head.

2:55.2

And I went, Chrissy?

2:58.2

And it was John's wife, who they were not at the party.
