== Birthday Celebrations ==


'''Myke:''' Unbelievably, Brad Dowdy, Bradley Dowdy as we know him, turned 50 last week. Jeez. 50. How'd you do that? How do you do it? I don't understand. I feel like you're younger at 50 than I am at 33.

'''Brad:''' I discovered the fountain of youth, Myke. Do you want me to tell you the secret? I would love to know, please. All right. It's Noodler's Bay State Blue. I drink it. No! I drink Noodler's Bay State Blue. That's the fountain of youth.

'''Myke:''' A good cup of Bay State every morning. Yeah. Every morning. Keeps the Grim Reaper away. I'll tell you right now, if you drank that thing every day, the Reaper would be coming of you fast, baby. Man.

'''Brad:''' That stuff would rot your insides. Yeah. I don't want to see the things that would turn blue if I drank that on the regular. That would be bad.

'''Myke:''' That is, by the way, in case you don't know, Noodler's Bay State Blue is an infamous ink that ruins pens.

'''Myke:''' Happy birthday, Brad.

'''Brad:''' Thanks, buddy. It was a nice, chill, relaxed birthday because we still can't do anything. I'm not comfortable going anywhere, doing anything. I literally spent the day by myself for the most part. And I was cool with that. I read, I listened to music, played some video games, literally did nothing. And if I ever want to have a nice 50th birthday celebration, I'm fine having it when I'm 52 or whatever, when I feel safe going somewhere again.

'''Myke:''' Well, you know, you can still enjoy yourself at home, right? Yeah. With your loved ones.

'''Brad:''' Like, I am super easy, Myke. You know, I don't need a lot, despite, I mean, I need a lot of pens and paper and stuff. I don't need too much more, you know, just family hanging around, reading a book, listening to tunes, drinking some beer. Like, I am super content. Like, I don't feel like I've missed out on anything. So, yeah, I'm good.

'''Myke:''' Well, happy birthday.

'''Brad:''' Thank you. Thank you. And happy birthday to you. Like, seriously, happy birthday. Relay turned seven.

'''Myke:''' Seven.
