Welcome to the Stuttering John podcast.

How are you, everybody?

I want to first apologize because I missed last week's podcast.

I don't know if you saw her on Twitter, but I lost my computer.

I was on the way to Iowa. Of course, I was packing, and I was late, and I said, I'll record my computer. I was on the way to Iowa.

Of course, I was packing, and I was late, and I said, I'll record the podcast in Iowa.

So I brought the podcasting equipment in my bag, along with my computer.

And then when I was checking the TSA screening, you know, when I was going through it,

I wasn't checking anything but i had the

computer on my tray and then and then and then my bag and then my shoes in a tray they um

they took the bag it got red flag because of the podcasting equipment and they had to do a whole bomb

check on it and everything and during that whole thing and i was late

for my flight and i was panicked of course i just took my sneakers put them on and grabbed the bag

and ran to the gate and left my computer behind i wasn't sure though if i left it there or when I was when my flight landed in

Chicago I had a connecting flight I opened the freaking bag to get my wallet and took stuff out

on the flight when all the all the passengers were off and of course because I wanted to pay for

my lunch and even though the flight attendant

then just said don't worry about it and then uh put everything back in the bag I couldn't remember

if I if I put the computer there so I had no idea I called American Airlines and I filed a report

nothing happened then I got emails telling me they haven't found it yet.

And I was completely fucking depressed because I have all my kids, pictures, and videos on there.

And, oh, God, man, I was fucking distraught.
