A scary phone number horror story, technology thriller, and psychological nightmare collide in tonight’s chilling episode. In Boredom can be Deadly, a bored man sitting in a bathroom stall makes one tiny mistake: he calls a strange number scribbled on the wall. What answers isn’t a prank, a wrong number, or a joke — it’s the beginning of a deadly game involving mind-reading phones, secret surveillance, manipulation, murder, and a terrifying conspiracy hiding in plain sight.

What starts as curiosity turns into a spiral of paranoia, greed, violence, and dread as one ordinary man is pulled into a trap far bigger than he understands. If you love creepy phone calls, urban legend horror, tech horror stories, twist ending horror, and dark tales where a simple bad decision destroys everything, this one is going to get under your skin.

This episode is perfect for fans of scary stories, horror fiction, suspense thrillers, weird conspiracy horror, and unsettling stories about the danger lurking behind everyday technology. One number. One call. One moment of boredom. That’s all it takes.

00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:05.320
He was bored alone and staring at a phone number

2
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:10.759
scratched into a bathroom wall. One call later, his phone

3
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:14.759
knew his thoughts, offered him a fortune and sent him

4
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.160
on a mission that should have gotten him killed. The

5
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:21.120
worst part it was only the beginning.

coming weeks. But more about that later. That's weekly spooky

27
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:19.319
dot com slash joy. Over eighty other spookies have signed up,

28
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:23.159
and now would be the best time to join them,

29
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:29.639
But now as for tonight. Sometimes the worst decisions don't

30
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:35.719
happen in haunted houses, dark forests, or lonely back roads.

31
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:41.439
Sometimes they happen in the most ordinary place imaginable, when

32
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:50.400
you're bored, distracted, and just curious enough to do something stupid.

33
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.000
A number on a wall, a phone in your hand,

34
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.439
a voice on the other end that seems to know

35
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:03.879
an awful lot, and before long, one harmless little call

36
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:10.599
becomes a waking nightmare of secret technology, deadly orders, and

37
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.360
a trap that may have already claimed more victims than

38
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:21.680
anyone could count. Because some numbers aren't written down by accident,

39
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:27.360
and some calls can change your life forever, that is,

40
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:39.919
if they don't end it first. Boredom can be deadly.

41
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:47.039
By Michael Kelso, I'm writing this letter as a warning.

42
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:52.479
Parts of it you won't believe, but it's all true.

43
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.879
It all goes back to when I was sitting in

44
00:03:54.919 --> 00:04:00.960
a bathroom stall bored. People say you can't die from boredom.

45
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:06.639
I might just prove them wrong. For a good time

46
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:12.000
call if you want the greatest? Hey, baby, you wanna

47
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:16.680
Why doesn't anyone ever write Hemingway on the bathroom walls?

48
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.759
At least that would be worth reading while nature takes

49
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.319
its course, especially since I always seem to have a

50
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:29.160
problem with downloading files when I don't have something to read.

51
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.720
I was just about to give up when I noticed

52
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:39.040
another number written very small in the seam of the

53
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:46.040
concrete five five, five four three two one. No name,

54
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.759
No promises of a good time that would keep your

55
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:57.000
local clinic in business, only a number. I'm intrigued. I

56
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:01.839
typed the number into my phone. My thumb hovered over

57
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:09.040
the send button. Do I or don't? I not being

58
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.680
done with my business yet, I decided what the hell

59
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:19.079
and I pressed the button. My phone flashed and then

60
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:24.680
went dead. Are you kidding me? I pushed the button

61
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:29.959
and it came back on. I listened and the line

62
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:36.360
was ringing. After a series of clicks, I heard code

63
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.360
in I was about to hang up, when the little

64
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:45.000
devil on my shoulder said, go ahead. What do you

65
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:52.279
have to lose? Like a fool? I listened Alpha Tango

66
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:57.879
lima one one seven, I said, I think I remembered

67
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:03.319
it from some spy movie. The line was silent for

68
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:10.399
a long moment. Stand by, the voice said, after a

69
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:17.639
few more clicks, objective updated, proceed with caution. Then the

70
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:25.079
line went dead. Objective What objective? I stared at my

71
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.120
phone as it lit up with a picture of a

72
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:32.279
middle aged, balding man with a large beard and an

73
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:37.360
even larger set of chins underneath it. Who the hell

74
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:42.279
is that? As if responding to my thoughts, the picture

75
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:49.199
was replaced by a detailed profile Jonathan Moresby, age fifty nine,

76
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:54.959
height five foot four, weight three hundred and twenty four pounds,

77
00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:01.839
divorced twice, no children. On and on it went, telling

78
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:06.199
me the details of this person's life. I started to

79
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:13.000
get bored until I read the last word, terminate. I

80
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:19.959
nearly dropped my phone. Terminate, Are you freaking serious? Yes?

81
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:28.240
The display read you wanted to play spy? Here's your chance?

82
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:35.120
You can read my thoughts. Yes. I suddenly had a

83
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:39.279
chill that had nothing to do with the temperature. It

84
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.680
was unnerving, but on the plus side, knowing someone was

85
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:48.959
reading my thoughts helped me finish my business. After I

86
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:53.079
washed my hands, I had a little conversation with my

87
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:58.600
newly claravoyant phone. What are you going to do if

88
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:04.879
I refuse your dastardly little deed? My phone flashed to

89
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:10.040
my personal bank account. The balance showed two hundred and

90
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:18.319
seven dollars. Suddenly it flashed to zero, then to one million,

91
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:25.199
two hundred and seven dollars. Your choice. I went home

92
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:29.399
to torture myself over the decision to take a man's

93
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:36.240
life or not. I didn't sleep well that night in

94
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:41.600
my dingy little bed in my dingy little apartment, so

95
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:47.080
I got up for a glass of milk. Damn it,

96
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:52.600
it's sour. I slammed the refrigerator shut so hard the

97
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:57.919
door fell off. Are you kidding me? Hey? Shut up

98
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:03.039
up there, yelled the jerk that lived downstairs. I stomped

99
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:08.639
on purpose. How do you like that? Just then the

100
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:12.120
floor gave out under my foot and I sank up

101
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:16.000
to my knee and the floor. He'll pay for that,

102
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.639
the jerk yelled up at the bottom of my foot.

103
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.679
I pried it loose and limped to the bedroom. I

104
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:33.960
turned on my phone and thought, I'll do it. Instantly,

105
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:37.559
A map popped up, along with blueprints of a house.

106
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:44.120
I got dressed and said goodbye to my crappy life.

107
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:49.600
So what do I use? Directions flashed up to a

108
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:54.799
bus station, a locker, and a combination. I hopped in

109
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:59.120
my beat up old car and turned the key. The

110
00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:04.159
engine struck and coughed, like a long time smoker, sputtering

111
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:10.559
to life. I fought between desperation, greed, and fear as

112
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:14.120
my mind came to grips with the path I had

113
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:19.039
set myself on. Before I knew it, I found myself

114
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:24.960
opening the locker. Inside it was a small semi automatic pistol.

115
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:29.679
My eyes darted around to see if anyone had noticed

116
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:36.039
my deadly acquisition. Satisfied that the few denizens of the

117
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:40.279
bus station had better things to do, like holding down

118
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:44.440
the benches with their drunken bodies, I held up the

119
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:49.519
gun inside the locker and stared at it. The only

120
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:53.320
other object in the locker was a set of keys.

121
00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:00.080
The van is parked out back license one, two, three,

122
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:05.879
four or five? Can I Can I really do this?

123
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:12.279
Then my phone showed me a very graphic video of

124
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:21.000
the man sexually abusing a small child. Son of directions

125
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:26.519
to the house showed again. I found the van exactly

126
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:30.440
where it was supposed to be. The keys unlocked it

127
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:35.919
and fit in the ignition. I started it up and paused,

128
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:42.120
this was real. This wasn't some prank someone was pulling

129
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.320
on me. I was on my way to kill a

130
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:50.759
man I didn't even know. I'm amazed I wasn't pulled

131
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:57.039
over for speeding. I arrived at the address. It was

132
00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:03.039
a mansion. Hit figures, I thought, piece of trash Chester,

133
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:09.879
live in the high life. Not for long, the phone said.

134
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.120
I pulled up to an iron gate with a digital

135
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:23.440
voice recognition box. Hold me up to the box, the

136
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:30.519
phone said, I did, and a voice came out, Jonathan Moresby,

137
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:37.080
it said. For a long moment, nothing happened. Then the

138
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:44.559
gate swung slowly open. Unbelievable. Pull the van around back

139
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:48.600
like you're making a delivery. The back door had a

140
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:53.440
security scanner. Hold me up to it. The door lock

141
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:59.360
clicked open. I hesitated, shouldn't I be wearing gloves or something?

142
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:05.159
What about fingerprints? Hold on the phone said, I am

143
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:10.279
erasing your fingerprints from the police database. You may proceed.

144
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.840
I opened the door and entered the kitchen. The smells

145
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:19.159
from a recently cooked meal sent my belly into a

146
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:24.639
full rumble. Let's see what's in the fridge. No, this

147
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:30.799
isn't snack time. Stay focused, the phone said. I set

148
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:34.919
it down and pulled out a bottle of wine. Even better,

149
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:40.919
the phone started buzzing, but I just ignored it. I'll

150
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:44.679
get there. Don't get your transistors in a twist. I'm

151
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:50.159
just having a little liquid courage. The phone buzzed even louder,

152
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:56.840
then suddenly stopped. I turned to see a large, bald

153
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:00.840
man in a pair of green and white striped pajamas.

154
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.519
He looked like a giant watermelon. I would have laughed,

155
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.399
but he was pointing a gun at me. My phone

156
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:15.120
started buzzing again. Shoot him, it said. He glanced at

157
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:17.759
the phone just long enough for me to pull my

158
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:24.519
gun out and squeeze the trigger. Nothing happened. I squeezed

159
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.159
the trigger over and over, but all it did was click.

160
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:33.279
The watermelon man was glaring at me with a cheshire

161
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:39.279
Cat grin plastered on his face. The thing about guns

162
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:43.360
is they need a firing pin to shoot, he said.

163
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:49.080
I looked at the gun like it had betrayed me. Here,

164
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:54.960
let me show you, he said. Then he fired his pistol,

165
00:14:55.399 --> 00:15:00.159
and my right shoulder erupted in agony. I collapsed to

166
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:04.799
the floor, writhing in pain. The wine bottle shattered beside me.

167
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:09.480
As I lay on the floor, blood pooling around me.

168
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:16.879
I managed to croak out why his belly bounced. He

169
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:21.320
was laughing so hard it would have been comical if

170
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:26.759
I weren't bleeding. It's a little hobby of mine. I'm

171
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.679
weeding out the stupid people of the world, one at

172
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:36.080
a time. Consider it thinning the herd. I've written that

173
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:40.480
number all over in places I don't even remember. I've

174
00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:44.799
been doing this for years. He would be amazed how

175
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:51.600
many people I've thinned. The police, they'll catch you. That

176
00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:56.759
sent him into another fit of laughter. Thanks for reminding me.

177
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:02.759
He pulled a phone out of his pocket. Hello police,

178
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:06.480
he said, in a shaky tone. There's a burglar in

179
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:10.360
my house. Oh my god, he's got a gun. He

180
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:18.399
fired a shot and hung up the phone. Any other questions, yes,

181
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:23.559
I said, through gritted teeth. How did you read my

182
00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:30.440
mind with my phone? Dear boy? I own a telecommunications company.

183
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:34.840
It's a feature we've been putting in phones for years.

184
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:39.200
We have the technology to read brain waves. It's only

185
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:43.399
a matter of interpreting them. Of course, we've told no

186
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:48.279
one about this, not even the government. You'd be amazed

187
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.120
how many people barely question it. Not only have I

188
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:58.159
gotten disgustingly rich reading thoughts of important people, but I've

189
00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:01.159
also gotten the rabble like you to do some of

190
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:06.960
the most unconsciable things you could imagine. Only three people

191
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:10.319
in the world know anything about it, and none of

192
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:14.839
them are talking. But I've grown tired of this game,

193
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:18.400
and the police are on the way, so I need

194
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:25.400
a kill shot. There's just one thing you didn't think of,

195
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:33.000
I said, through gritted teeth. Oh, do tell I've had

196
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.119
my phone on voice recorders since I walked in the door.

197
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:44.599
He glanced at the phone laying on the table. Most inconvenient, however,

198
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.799
thank you for letting me know. When he reached for

199
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.319
the phone, I lunged with all my strength and slashed

200
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:54.640
at him with a piece of the wine bottle. My

201
00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:59.359
wild swing embedded the shard in his leg. He squealed

202
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:02.720
in pain and dropped to the floor on impact. The

203
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:06.039
gun flew out of his hand. I clamored to get it,

204
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:10.359
but he grabbed my leg, tripping me. I fell face

205
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:18.680
down and hit my head on the floor hard. I

206
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.480
woke to the sound of policemen telling me not to move.

207
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.880
They cuffed me, causing pain to shoot through my shoulder.

208
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.440
As they hauled me out, I looked back at my

209
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:35.920
attacker and there was a large pool of blood underneath him.

210
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:42.960
Another officer checked his pulse. He's gone, damn it. I

211
00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:47.319
didn't get to gloat during the trial. I had found

212
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:51.160
out that I hit his femoral artery. He bled out

213
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:56.079
before the cops had gotten there. My testimony about the

214
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:59.799
phone that could read thoughts landed me in a mental

215
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:04.240
health hospital. My attorney refused to defend me after that.

216
00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:12.519
My only visitor had been a representative from the telecommunications company. Astounding,

217
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:18.680
he said, you say the phone could actually read your mind, Yes,

218
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:23.799
and it would respond to me. Amazing. Of course, I'm

219
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:27.640
only a low level investigator, but you've given me something

220
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:31.519
to search for something like that in the wrong hands,

221
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:38.440
I said, Oh, I understand the ramifications. He said, every terrorist,

222
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:42.519
low level despot, and politician would sell their own mothers

223
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:48.559
to get their hands on such technology. Exactly. I'm going

224
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:52.799
to contact the FBI about this, he said, even if

225
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.160
it means losing my job. This is just too much

226
00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.160
of a risk to have this technology out there. He

227
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.920
put his notepad in his jacket pocket and stood to leave.

228
00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:09.039
If you think of anything else, anything you think I

229
00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:13.400
need to know, don't hesitate to call. He held out

230
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:17.119
a business card to me, and you'll work on getting

231
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:21.119
my case reviewed. Don't worry. As soon as I find

232
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:24.519
any hard evidence, I'm sure we'll get you out of here.

233
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:29.799
Thank you so much, I said. Looking down at the card,

234
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:35.920
I paused. It had no name on it, only a

235
00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:43.880
number five five, five, four three two one. I slowly

236
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:49.240
looked into his eyes. You're one of the three, I

237
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:55.079
said quietly. He took a step closer to me. Two now,

238
00:20:56.039 --> 00:21:00.839
thanks to you, he said, with that same chesh grinn

239
00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:06.599
as his predecessor. Are you going to kill me? He

240
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:10.640
let out a small chuckle. What fun would that be?

241
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:16.039
He turned and headed for the visitation room door. He

242
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:20.759
whispered something to the large orderly and handed him some money.

243
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:26.000
They both looked at me and grinned in a very

244
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:32.480
unpleasant way. So here I sit in my room, desperately

245
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:36.799
writing multiple copies of this letter and sending it to

246
00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:50.039
anyone who will listen. Please help me, and that, my spookies,

247
00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:54.400
is why you should never trust a phone number scribbled

248
00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:58.200
on a bathroom wall. In fact, I'm kind of surprised

249
00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:01.079
I need to say it out loud, but just to

250
00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:04.839
be safe, I'll keep it in the curriculum. Some bad

251
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:08.599
ideas cost you a little dignity, some cost you a

252
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:14.400
couple of dollars, and some well, some answer back, know

253
00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:19.960
your secrets and decide you might be useful before you're disposable.

254
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:24.160
So next time you find yourself bored, curious and staring

255
00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:28.279
at something that really ought to be ignored, maybe just

256
00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:33.200
wash your hands and walk away, because not every strange

257
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.759
number leads to a prank, a date, or a good story.

258
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:40.480
Thank you all so much for joining me. I do

259
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:43.720
love sharing a scare with you every week and beyond.

260
00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:47.160
And if you're new here, on Saturday, there'll be a

261
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:51.200
brand new IDEs of March compilation of scary stories for

262
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:55.400
your listening pleasure, and on Monday, a brand new terrifying

263
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:58.799
and true all about the dear Woman. And I want

264
00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:01.799
to take a moment to thank our Patreon podcast boosters

265
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:05.839

274
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:33.079
It really does make a big difference to help us

275
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:36.519
keep the show going and going. But now I need

276
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:39.480
to get back to work and resist the urge to

277
00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:42.920
call a certain phone number in the hope of fame

278
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:46.799
and fortune. So for myself, for my executive producers Rob

279
00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:50.359
Fields and Bobbletopia dot Com, my producer Dan Wilder, and

280
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:54.079
my composer Ray Mattis, I'll talk at you next time.

281
00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:57.960
Thank you for listenings these. Make sure to find your

282
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:03.680
way back next week week. But for now you are safe.

283
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:05.640
Trust me.
