This was great! I loved your deadpan responses. My favorite: “Do you know Pablo Escobar?” “Not personally.”

I really want to know more about the snow allergy though.

I get every ride share drivers life story too. Also my hair stylists. Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around? Curious how you manage to remember so much of these wonderful conversations. I always wish I could go around recording…

And yes, OMG, hair stylists are great. Unfortunately, my wife has been cutting my hair these past two years and I already know her story :)

I have a pretty good memory & I write down as much as I can immediately.

Had no idea snow allergies were a thing :D You should have asked him if he drinks water? Maybe he's allergic to that too LOL.

Only cold water, I would think!

Like in Signs! Bottle of Evian? Yes. Water in atmosphere? No.

I imagined you looked like Rod Serling in the back seat smoking, nodding, and obviously in black and white. This was a very interesting story. Might visit Vegas.

Haha! I like your imagination because I'm a lot cooler there than IRL 😂 Vegas is fascinating place to visit and it's great for people watching. That said, I kinda hate gambling (makes me feel anxious) so I try not to spend more than a few days in Vegas.

Maybe I’ll sit on the strip and write haikus about the passers by.

You should! The only real gold in that town is the material.

I might! I went to New Orleans and paid a poet who was writing on a typewriter. You gave him a prompt and he gave you a poem in like 10 minutes. I think about that guy pretty often. 😂
