Went in for an interview and I answered like four questions and they were like, hey, you're hired. Just don't do nothing stupid in between now and when you can move up here. I was like, oh, absolutely. Man, the following weekend, like that was on Thursday. Yeah, the following weekend, Saturday, there's an island called Palm Tree Island. It's got a fake palm tree.

You can go out, pull the boats up and swim. It's super fun. It was July 4th weekend. Went out to the island with some friends. I was just drinking, man. I drank a whole fifth of Fireball. At that point, I'm drinking out of rage. Just pure rage. Because I didn't want to face the reality that I have to still go back to work. Deal with bad leadership.

It got to the point, Sean, where I didn't even want to go to work. I couldn't go to sleep because the anxiety was so bad about knowing that when I get to work tomorrow, somebody's gonna task me with something, and then they're gonna write me up for it if it doesn't go smooth. So, man, I drank this whole bottle back when my wife was drinking too.

She was drunk, and the people we came on the boat with left. Left. Left us on an island. Sure, there was a bunch of people. I was drunk. I didn't know anybody. So the island is in the intercoastal waterway, but it's maybe 50 yards from the shoreline. But it's deep, and it's a high boat area. So my wife said, hey, we're going to swim. I'm like, yeah, we got another option. So we swam.

I'm like, I'm a decent swimmer, but drunk. It's kind of hard, especially with the current, right? Low tide was coming in, so the current was pushing out. And I felt like I was drowning. We get all the way to the, we make it across, we get to the dock. And I'm just a country boy from West Virginia, right? I don't know about all the barnacles and everything on the dock. So I grab a hold of the dock.

Current's coming out, current takes my legs out and just slices my legs. I'm like, dang. So get out and I look down and I'm just bleeding. I'm just, my whole legs is covered in blood. And I'm like, oh my God, we got to get back to the house. Like, I'm not supposed to be out here acting a fool. And now I'm standing on a dock with blood everywhere. And I'm hammered. Shithouse.

Not hammered, shithouse. So we take off walking. And we're not familiar with the area. And we're drunk. My wife's like, hey, we got to go this way. I'm like, no, we have to go this way. This is the way to the house. She's like, no. So we get in this massive verbal argument on the side of the road. Cars everywhere. It's July 4th. I'm screaming. She's screaming. I'm like, fine, go that way.

I'm going this way. She goes that way. I go this way. Man, 45 seconds later, I hear it. I turn around. This dude drawing down on me. Show me your hands. I'm like, okay. He comes over and he handcuffed me. He's like, where's she at? I'm like, who? He's like, the lady you were arguing with. I'm like, it's my wife. She walked that way. I'm walking this way.
