291. Surfing Onesie

But I, I had a, a beach vacation just a week ago, which you heard about, and then I returned to the same beach, actually, with my family.

And it was going to be so exciting, and it was, um, but it didn't really go off without a hitch.

There were many hitches involved is what I'm trying to say.

So we got to the beach, not without our own fair share of problems.

I mean, I went over to go and help pack in the morning, and we immediately locked ourselves out of the house, okay? We had let the family dog off with the house key, and now they were gone, and now we couldn't get back into the house, which caused a whole little dilemma of problems that we were able to, um, face [laughs] a week later when we came back into town.

Um, and then not only that, but I was just sick for the majority of the time.

And let me say this, okay? My dad is a fantast- fantastic driver, okay? One of the safest, and daggumit, one of the quickest in the world.

But he drives like he is playing the drums with the pedals, [imitates drums] because he's, he's playing it like a video game, and he's very efficient with it.

That being said, I'm already a nauseous person, all right? I've already admitted this, okay? It's one of my greatest shames is that I get carsick easily as a grown man, and I don't wanna have to say that.

Um, but it's, it's only amplified and exacerbated when my father's behind the wheel, okay? So it was, uh, uncomfortable a little bit for me in general, and we tried to prepare.

I mean, the whole family, we were, we were ready.

We had Dramamine and backups, and my mom was like, "I got extra reinforcement." Dad like, you know, [laughs] like, reinforcements? I can only imagine how that feels.

It's, it's not that he's incapable of being a smooth driver.

He just doesn't have the patience or the interest.

So we were getting there quick, and he was shaving off minutes as fast as possible, but, uh, I don't think any of us were really able to look up and, and see that at the time.

So we had all the ginger chews and Dramamine and different medications and, and knock-out toxins to try and pass out.

Um, but it was, it was tough.

We tried mint, prayer.

None of it was really working.

So I don't really know what the, the key is there.

So it was, it was just starting off bad, and it continued to get worse.

But we got to the, to the beach house, and it was lovely for about eight seconds, and then the entire freaking coast got hit with what is called a nor'easter.

I never even heard of this.

So, uh, I guess it's something about cold fronts, arctic winds.

It's kind of like an El Niño or kind of like a hurricane except not tropical, and it basically just whips some winds until it erodes the entire city.
