Good Thursday.

And mission.

The The The Good evening and welcome to Monsters Among Us.

I'm your guide, Derek Hayes.

Welcome to the show, guys.

The show that almost wasn't.

I'm still having some major computer issues here in a studio.

I actually purchased a replacement that showed up to be a complete dud.

The computer didn't work at all, so that sent me back several days.

So I've now purchased a even newer model.

Hopefully this time's a charm.

Unfortunately, it doesn't arrive until tomorrow. So here I am,

recording on my rickety laptop. Hopefully, this pans out. Now, due to the circumstances tonight,

we'll be a bit of a grab bag episode. So without further hesitation, I think we should get started.

Our first call of the evening comes to us from I believe they call it the beehive state.

The following is Alexander's call from Utah.

Hey, Eric. My name is Alexander. I'm calling from Utah. So this happened over a space of some amount of time, over a few months. A couple of years ago, I was the manager of a movie theater.

We were up in the mountains, right?

One day, I was there closing by myself with another manager, and we heard a big crash and

went out, and in one of the storerooms, everything had fallen off the shelves, which just could have been an earthquake.

That's no big deal.

But it was kind of a hint of what happened later.
