Nobody had to tell your grandparents not to drive while using their typewriters. Why should it be any different for us kids and our cell phones? Distracted driving was the cause of more than 3,000 deaths in 2022. Come on, we're smarter than this. Let's put down the phones and focus on the roads. Drive safe, everybody. Don't drive distracted. A message brought to you by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Project Yellow Light, and the Ad Council. And she said, Johnny, the kids didn't come home last night.

Along the central Texas plains, teens are dying. Suicides that don't make sense. Strange accidents and brutal murders. In what seems to be a plot ripped straight out of Breaking Bad.
Unknown 0:49
Drugs, alcohol, trafficking of people. There are people out there that absolutely know what happened.

Jose 1:37
We were in the car, like a rolling stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother.
Dani Shapiro 1:42
And I said, what?
Jose 1:44
What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that other people can't have.
Unknown 1:49
I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened.

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and today's prank call involves a woman who's on vacation with her husband. Okay. He thought this would be the perfect time to play a joke on her.
Jeffrey 2:49
Oh, yeah. She's nice and relaxed. Yeah. Good.
Jose 2:52
And since they do need to get their toilet fixed anyway, he told wifey that he already called a handyman to take care of it while they're gone.
Jeffrey 2:59
Oh.
Jose 2:59
Smart. What she doesn't know is this particular handyman is a little slow, could be on various substances at the moment, and has his own ideas about what needs to be fixed inside their house.
Jeffrey 3:14
It's not easy to find a good plumber. You'll hear it in your phone tap right now.
Jose 3:24
Hello. This is Mitch, the handyman. You can call me Handy Mitch. Okay, Handy Mitch. I'm assuming you're fixing the bathroom? Correct. And I'd like to know, is your husband around? I was trying to reach him. He's not answering his phone. Yeah, this is his phone. We're on vacation right now, and he went to the grocery store. Can I relay a message? I mean, yeah. I just, like, I wanted to know how far I needed to rotate the toilet. Rotate the toilet? Yeah. Yeah, because, like, right now it's facing the back wall. And, like, I got to say, it's really going to improve the feng shui. It looks really good. Um, that's not what we need fixed. You could keep the toilet facing the same way. Something you may not know about me is, even though I am a handyman, I also have a minor in interior design from Prairie Junction Technical College.
Jose 4:31
What? Yeah, PJ Tech. Pretty impressive. Go PJs! Prairie Junction! Did you go too, or...
