Oh, my gosh. So I was working at a Washington bureau for a news organization. And, you know, I was not making a ton of money. The amount of money I was making is now an illegal amount to pay even a minimum wage worker. And I had to have a college degree for this job. Your girl was struggling. Yeah. So one of my friends at work was like, hey, you have to be at work early quite a bit.

I know you're tired of paying for Ubers at 3.30 a.m. How about you move into the house where I'm living? It's literally around the corner, walking distance. You can walk when it's dark out and not get kidnapped. And I was like, I love the sound of that.

The rent was cheap. It was like 800 bucks a month for this room. Incredible.

I know it was a Craigslist house. It had central air. I did live with a lot of men. I shared a bathroom with one of my guy friends. We're now friends because of this. But I was like, wow, sharing a bathroom with a man.

Oh, yeah. Yes, absolutely.

You know, I could be like... Oh, he's living his soft life. I, too, want to live a soft life. But also, are you always in these PJs? Like, hold on now. Do you have a job? But also, that's not my business as long as the rent gets paid.

Oh, I see his vibe. I see his vibe.

Oh, my God. OK, so I see it. I see the sitcom unfolding. It's like, oh, we get into the hijinks. I'm the younger one. And I'm like, these are my elder millennial dads and their dog. And we're going to get through life saving money, et cetera.

Wait, I don't like that. Hold on now. So would you take this room? Hold on. We need to have a little sit down. We need to talk. Hey, what is the choice situation like? What's the bill breakdown? I'm going to have a few questions. I probably would have brought a friend with me. We would bring a tape measure because I need to know how the furniture fits.
