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
