Welcome to Unhappy Hour the Show, where we bitch about all the things we love to hate every single week. I'm your host, Matt Bellasai.

I'm here in my parent's house recording far, far away from my producer, Barry Finkel. Hi, Mary.

Hey, Matt. I'm also in my parent's house right now. I'm in the closet. Oh, yeah.

I am in my childhood bedroom. The bedroom where I became a man for the very first time. And by that, I mean the bedroom where I had my first

wet dream. Wow. Does that wet dream have anything to do with the fact that there's a framed photo of Barack Obama behind you?

Sadly, you the listener cannot see the really the only day cord my child to bedroom right now is a framed photograph of the 44th president of the United States, Barack Obama, with a cross.

You can't see the cross. There's a cross above it.

I love it. You got to protect them at all costs. Yeah. But anyway, I mentioned at the very end of our last episode that I might my plan for this year, the holidays.

I knew at some point I was going to attempt to come home to Chicago. And for me, the best plan was I knew I didn't want to take an airplane.

So I rented a car. I drove the 13 hours all by yourself all by myself that car was rank by the time I made it. But I made it. I've never been in a car that long ever.

It was horrible. I hated every moment of it. I got pulled over once in Pennsylvania. Of course.

Because I tweeted about this and people came for me for being the wrong party. So I feel like I needed to explain myself in Pennsylvania. There is a highway with two lanes.

Yeah, a classic two lane highway. A two lane highway. I was in the left lane. And at some point I noticed a cop car behind me. So I was like very careful. I was driving the speed limit.

I like slowed down. Basically, everybody came for me because it is called loitering in the left lane. You're not allowed to drive in the left lane unless you're passing. That's what the cop told me.

I know I did. It's made up law. Pennsylvania is not a real place. In my defense. I didn't say this. I was speeding. I was going fast. And the only reason I slowed down was because I noticed a cop was behind me.

So everybody was like, you're the problem. You're the reason why there's traffic is because you just drive slow in the left lane. I was driving fast. Okay. So shut up.

Luckily, the cop or just was like, I'm going to let you go with a warning. And then I said, why don't you eat my shit? And then I drove away.
