Boredom Can Be Deadly: Scary Phone Horror Story | He Called a Bathroom Wall Number and It Ruined His Life

Boredom Can Be Deadly: Scary Phone Horror Story | He Called a Bathroom Wall Number and It Ruined His Life

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.

This episode is

Boredom Can Be Deadly — by Michael Kelso

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.

11
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:12.599

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.
