Hey there.
This is Nick.
Sometimes we take content warnings on this show lightly.
This is not a case of that.
This episode has stuff in it that may be triggering for some people, so please tread carefully.
And if you have kids listening, I strongly advise you to skip this one.
Just to set the stage for you.
Mid morning, blinds were closed.
I grabbed an empty bottle, and I headed down to the water store because I knew I was going to be drinking some coffee.
And I like good water.
I had a client right after that.
At 10:00 I was going to go straight to them, and I decided not to.
I decided to come back and drop that bottle of water off first.
Well, when I started up the street and got within eyesight of my front door, I saw it was open.
And I'm like, I didn't forget to shut that.
Hmm.
And there was an odd car parked in the driveway.
So I start up into the house, up the steps, and I notice pieces of plaster on the ground.
I notice that the door jamb has been wildly jammed aside and broken.
I head in towards the dining room, and there stands a tall young man, well built, and in his right hand was my framing hammer, and in his left hand was my sledgehammer.
