- Oh, Gary.
Good to see you.
- Oh, Hey.
- So how the heck are you?
- Great. Everything's great.
How about you?
- Oh, you know, hanging in there.
- I hear that.
Well, I better be...
- Things have been real tough, you know,
planning the funerals.
- Uh, The funerals.
- Yeah. We'll have the wakes next Tuesday.
Closed casket, of course.
I know you're usually free Tuesday nights,
which is part of the reason why I scheduled them then.
- Oh, well, you really, really didn't have to do that.
- I know you do the same for me.
- Right. Well, I'm sorry for your losses.
- Thank you. Thank you.
Well enough about me.
How is your dad doing?
I know he had knee surgery a couple of weeks ago.
- Uh, well, he's great.
You know, he's got his painkillers
so he's feeling no pain.
The pain is killed.
- Well, you know me, Gary.
I know all about that.
I was hooked on painkillers for years.
Nearly died. Winter rehab.
Got clean last year.
I'm never touching another one ever again.
- Of course, you wouldn't.
- But enough about me, how's the job going?
Are you still working for that consulting company downtown?
- Oh, yes I am.
- That's just incredible, Gary.
- Are you...
still doing that job that you had previously?
- No, thank God.
- Yeah, yeah. I remember you hated that job.
- Well, as you know
I was unemployed and living on the street before.
- Well, thank God you have a job now.
So what is it?
- It's what I always said I wanted to do.
- Wow.
Well, that is great
that you get to do what you always said you wanted to do.
- And you inspired me to go after it.
- Wow.
- I tell everybody.
I tell them, "My buddy, Gary, he's the reason I'm here."
- I am flattered.
- I've lost about 30 grand so far, but I'll make it back.
- You've lost money at your job?
- That's just one of the risks
of being a professional gambler, Gary.
But enough about me.
How's your girlfriend, Cynthia doing?
- She's great.
- Andrew blue, 2018, Hyundai Santa Fe, still running well?
- Running like a dream.
- But how about that 5K you were training for?
- Oh, I ran it.
All 5Ks.
Just ran them out.
- That's incredible, Gary.
- Well, I really have to get running,
but it was great to see you.
- Great seeing you, too.
Always great.
I'll see you around.
Oh, See you next week.
- Oh, right. At the funeral.
- The wakes. Plural.
- Right. Okay. Well, bye.
- Bye now.
Jeez, that guy just dominates a conversation
and won't stop talking about himself.
