They'd shouted that it's easy to pay somebody to beat other people up in Bulgaria.

And so this happened close enough and close enough proximity to that other altercation that he just assumed that's why those guys jumped him.

I mean, apparently there was no other explanation for it.

So that was his story.

He showed up with an injured ear in the story that he had been jumped by some local Bulgarians.

Yeah, and his friends apparently didn't necessarily believe that story because he wasn't, you know, he didn't have black eyes or a bloody nose or anything.

He looked fine and he was acting fine.

So they weren't too sure about that story.

Again, with the Internet sleuths, I've seen people saying that, like, he totally made up the story about the fight.

Right.

But that is all just people speculating online.

Yeah.

I know.

If you ever want to see people just take a piece of information and then spin it to the nth degree, the most extreme possible interpretation of it, you could do worse than hang out on the internet.

So he goes to a doctor.

He gets the diagnosis of a ruptured eardrum.

Apparently went and saw a specialist at a hospital who confirmed it, said you should get surgery.

And Lars is like, great, but I'm not getting that here.

I'm going to go back home to Germany if I'm going to get surgery.

Yeah.
