Everybody's trying to knock you down and it's not going to work and no one's going to like it. And then boom, it's everywhere. And that was that moment. Listen to there. No girls on the internet on the IHurt Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Real quick. Brooke, last thing you stole from a hotel. Shampoo. Oh, okay. Alexis. I don't want stuff from there. Oh, my God. I don't stay nice enough ones. Really? See, I hear about people doing this all the time and they think that it's okay. What? Stealing from hotels. Oh. I stole the desk. Oh, wow. That's impressive. I don't know how you snuck that out. You're the reason that they nailed those things. Oh, they're actually a nice lotion now that you say that. I wanted to get some clarity once and for all on this. That's why I call a woman who works the front desk at a hotel. Oh, man. Man, you know what I should have done is asked her to package all the stuff up for me in a bag and just have it ready. But I didn't do that. I tried to do it the more respectable way.

2:02.6

like we... Oh, right, right. No, I get it. Yeah. Nothing should be okay for me to take, but everybody does.

2:08.5

So, can I just go down the list here and you just say yay or nay? I think maybe you should speak with my

2:14.9

manager about this. Yeah, no thanks. So towels, yay or nay? No, no, you're not allowed to take the towels. And like I said before, you're not allowed to take anything. Sorry, I need you to say yay or nay. Those are the rules that I've kind of set up here. Let's just skip to the remote control, though. Like, you guys are going to call the cops over that, right?

2:31.8

I'm just going to put that down as a yay. I don't quite understand what's happening right. Is we're just going down a checklist of things you're going to take from us? It's a yay or nay list. And so what about the small sculpture in the lobby? Notice I didn't say the big one, just the small one that no one's going to miss. Did you case the place?
