Nick:But second, yes. I overestimated my ability to deal with the long distance shit

Riley:I'm going to say that you might've also underestimated Erin's ability to deal with the long distance shit, such that she's been doing it for the better part of a decade

Riley:She's basically the Home Run Derby of long distance, and you're the farm team

Nick:We're not talking about that right now, dude.

Riley:Let's drive down to PVD and get burgers at Harry's.

Nick:Is that the place with the bbq pulled pork on the cheeseburgers?

Riley:Yes. You need that in your life.

Riley:And plenty of that thick-ass beer you like.

Nick:How long is it to Providence again?

Riley:57 minutes but I can get you there in 42 because I know the back roads

Nick:That was oddly specific…

Riley:It's distracting you

Riley:You buy the burgers and beer and I promise to stop talking about your impending nervous breakdown

Nick:Fine but only because I really want some bbq and beer before leaving the States for two months
