Transcript

Last night in a moment of what can only be described as pure weakness. It was about 10 PM and I said I'm gonna stop and get Taco Bell. You said 74 Caleb for the first time. 74 Caleb. 38 Caleb. I walk into the Taco Bell feeling ashamed. Walked into the Taco Bell immediately over my foot crawls the biggest cockroach I've ever seen in my life. You said it's a sign. It's a sign. No. Walked further into the Taco Bell on the phone with my friend. The biggest cockroach in the world in this Taco Bell. I start typing onto the screen and then with a moment of clarity where I was like, you need to and leave this Taco Bell. And I said to my friend on the phone, I'm sorry I'm being weird. I just realized I have to get the fuck out of this Taco Bell. And I turned around and left the Taco Bell. Wow. And went home and ordered Popeyes.
