know if you are willing to proceed further kind regards I said yes I'm willing to proceed and we're very excited any chance we can hop on the up certain get on the phones yeah any chance we can hop on the phone for just a few minutes it took them a while to reply or no I actually applied pretty quick but then he didn't answer my question so it's all copied and pasted for his frequency did exactly the same look at this he said hello thank you for getting back to me I really appreciate your level of commitment there's a whole bunch of [ __ ] I'm gonna just gonna skip over this if you guys want you to pause the video and read this entire email if you want so I basically answered his question says hey Jeffrey here's the information you requested our names Ryan Kermit Benson vladimir victor vertical and ricardo just ricardo because he doesn't have a last name address Pelican Avenue behind the Walgreens times are tough age 32 and 40 like I said we will figure out Ricardo's age upon moving previous address same Walgreens but inside got kicked out for too much hula hooping moving occupation same as before a research move-in date yesterday it's urgent and I said in bold can we call you tonight I wanted to answer a freaking question we have a few questions about the place and he said this both hi I got your details and I must tell you that I'm fully satisfied with it so he satisfied that we have ins we're moving with Italian I will get back to you with the lease contract and scan copy of my identity shouldn't take more than a few hours to get it to you so that you can sign it and send it back because we can process the payment but I want to make this clear to you that you will have to sign the lease agreement and make the payment before we getting the keys so please kindly get back to me ASAP before I send the lease agreement form if you really understand this yeah do you understand this and then he replied against thing what's your cell phone number I said yes I understand this thank you I don't have access to his cell phone only payphones until I get my last paycheck from the space people can I call you on the phone right now like the 10 minutes he said sure no problem so we're gonna call this guy right now and see what happens Ryan Benson hello Jeffrey can you hear me yeah how's it going man but this is Ryan I'm here with Vlad about the apartment how are you hey Jeffrey how are you we like really need your apartment you you you know that we have a pet we have one pet it's a little bit messy sometimes you slimy kind of depends on the Modi's in but we just want to know kind of is the pet gonna be okay and if are you gonna need any extra money for that like security deposit for a bath like anything let us know I mean slime removal is an AI isn't expensive I've checked but it is it is there so I'm just not sure kind of how we approach that we can we can pay tonight we can pay now we need to know if you ok with our you know like he's kind of Pat but it's not a pad sometimes his sneeze and some acid coming through his nozzles sirs rectum one other two it's kind of timel taneous if he's angry but listen we just want to make sure that that's okay and we can do an extra posit but we can sign the lease tonight and pay you right now we need a place to live like the Walgreens they're getting sick of us over here yeah but I just want to you to answer the question about the about the pet is that gonna be okay because this pad is not from you know like it's not from this planet you know like we told you Jeffrey that we astronauts you know like we fly I'm Russian I'm Vlad I'm on close Mo's right we were we were gone for like a year and we found this like here and I told you we had to quit our job urgently and really the in just between you and me I can tell you're trustworthy we didn't want to let NASA know about the creature we figure we can make a better living if we take this behind-the-scenes but we just need to do some experiments and that's why we kind of why we need the apartment so we're just making sure that that's okay with you Jeffrey okay I think I'm sorry that we got disconnected that Ricardo started chewing on my charger and I think it's screwed with my battery I'm I'm sorry about that but we want to do testing on him and figure out exactly what breed it is how much money we're gonna make and that might involve breeding you know we might want to breed him with other animals and they might infest the building in the walls so I just want to make sure that you're you have insulation how much do it how much do you need two thousand one thousand thousand that's actually even better that's no problem we can easy do that look I have like half money in rubles do you know any exchange like close by wolf will find move on Union and tell me zone somewhere they can put the rubles we're gonna be breeding slime birds is that okay with you I don't want to be liable for any stain egde no I can't text I have a I have a dyslexic issue and my fingers are numb listen I just want to make sure the pets or can we have pets we have a big slime bird is he okay gift cards okay what kind of gift cards do we need can they be any do they have to be like like Google or can they be like Bass Pro Shop actually have one left over from Cheesecake Factory and then kill a from three bottles of vodka oh so ten gift cards yeah we choose make sense yeah okay but something bucks out of dollars right and we have to sign something you need us to sign what is your address how we can find you okay let me let me take a look and you also we're gonna send a identification right just we can swap IDs and make sure that we're all trustworthy okay now we don't have an identity for Ricardo Ricardo he's um he's anything he's unidentifiable here's the deal his face shape shifts depending on his mood it's kind of one of those charm bracelets where if you're angry it's red I come to he's angry he's shaped like a butt yeah and when we when we sneak him I have to put him into my bat hole so yes he's shape-shifts now do you have any pets because I think here's the deal we can get the most money from the government if we breed with every species possible so if you have like a dog or a cat we can breed him with Ricardo and spit out some kind of space canines we could make a frickin fortune dude yeah let's do it yeah let's absolutely dot the Y's daily minutes daily meta you can put Ricardo he cuz he's the one that's that we know the least about and we don't really want government tracing us so put Ricardo's name and if you need a picture of him I'll just draw it because it'll be more accurate that way anyway just just picture like a flower pot with slime pulling out of the side of it I have one more question are the walls thick because here's the deal experimentation can be an can be a it can be loud and people are in a nosy [ __ ] with my experience and here's the deal we need Kurama Cuong you remember because Bloods gonna be acid flying that over that's four materials but i'm for noise and also we were gonna breed them with animals but we could even in breed here like it would family like him and i aren't related by blood but if we connected with this new species from an outer planetary realm sector nine they say we could have these little these little human human squirts just walking around and it sounds weird but it'll be done in secret i just wanna make sure the neighbors aren't gonna be offended if there's some squealing no problem no problem okay task you jeff rehearsed want to be okay with that yes shock that this thank you for being so honest with us we will love that you're a good guy all right what is the guarantee that's you you know like not gonna take our money in dignity anniversary my TV just because of money okay why do Randall Shelton 4513 I feel bad I don't I'm probably gonna blur that because that could be some poor Schmucks address you know in Tennessee it's so fake I am man of dignity and we'll never spoil my image just because of money if you don't feel comfortable my identity I'll advise you to look for other apartment you have to say any human Carmen we
