If you'd like to support the show, please visit patreon.com/breakerwhiskey. ------ [TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Breaker, breaker, this is Whiskey, calling out for Birdie. Birdie, do you read me? [click, static] Hello? [click, static] Worth a try. I know it’s early, and I don’t even know what time zone you’re in but I could barely sleep last night I was so excited. I fell asleep wishing that I’d wake up to the code changing and you did not disappoint me. “I’m Birdie”. That’s what you said. So, hello, Birdie. It’s very good to meet you. [click, static] It’s odd, I feel like I don’t know what to say now. I don’t know exactly how long you’ve been listening, but I’ve been rambling absolute nonsense into this thing for the last month. A month. It doesn’t feel like a month. It feels like I left yesterday and like I’ve been driving for years. And I’ve barely wandered five hundred miles from where I started. I’m on the most inefficient road trip ever. [click, static] Road trip implies a destination, though, which I haven’t had. I’d like to have one now. I’d like wherever you are to be my destination. I know you don’t know very much about me—though you know more than most people I’ve ever met if you have heard all of these transmissions—and for all I know, you could be some kind of serial killer who’s run out of victims, but I figure we have to try. [click, static] I’m not the optimistic sort usually. I don’t know that I believe all humans are fundamentally good or what-have-you. I think most people are pretty selfish and even though I don’t actually have a clue, I’m assuming whatever happened six years ago was caused by our own stupidity or cruelty or an unholy combination of the two. So maybe you’re just as bad as eighty percent of the people I’ve come across in my life. Maybe you’re the kindest soul left in the world. Maybe you’re somewhere in between. But you’re alive. You’re not a relic from before, you’re not some kind of automatic radio signal, you’re talking to me. So that’s worth the risk in my book. Do you know what happened? Are there other people with you? Have you stayed in the same place this whole time, hoping someone would pick up your signal? What were you doing when everything happened? [click, static] Jeez, I probably shouldn’t be bombarding you with questions until you can either speak or we can figure out some kind of realtime communication. So, uh— [click, static] I’ll just focus on the important bit: where are you? Whiskey out.

194 - One Hundred Ninety Four

Please visit breakerwhiskey.com for more information or to send a message to Whiskey's radio. Breaker Whiskey is an Atypical Artists production created by Lauren Shippen. If you'd like to support the show, please visit patreon.com/breakerwhiskey. As a patron, you will also receive each week's episodes as one longer episode every Monday. ------ [TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] I had the thought—Harry’s contact, whoever they were, whoever she had worked things out with at the…well, whoever it was she was working with, I didn’t ask, I was still so fucking— [click, static] They have to be here, right? And it’s not like I’m some great friend of Johnny Law, but surely whoever it was, if they are here, they’d still care about stuff like someone getting murdered. Maybe…maybe I could get them to help me find Harry, or figure out what the fuck to do about Junior. If that person is out there, they’d be in New York, right? They’d have to be. And so would Pete and Don and Richie—hell, maybe even Sylvie, though just like Francis, she was already in her golden years so I’m not sure— Well, regardless, I’m halfway to New York. I don’t think it matters if I tell you I’m headed there, because if there’s one place that’s good to disappear, it’s New York. Even without all the people, there’s hundreds of streets and thousands of buildings and millions of rooms to hide away in. Even if you got on the highway right now and raced there, I still don’t think you’d be able to find me. Which…maybe doesn’t bode well for the likelihood of me finding any of my old crew—or whoever Harry was conspiring with—but at least I have an idea of where to look—apartments, old hangouts, penthouses we’d robbed that I’m sure any of us would take advantage of living in now…I’m not going in totally blind. God, it would be nice to have someone else with me. I mean, that’s always been true, after the first few weeks of getting some fucking real alone time for the first time in six years, after I’d come down from the righteous fury that was still— Well, it was nice, for half a second. To be on my own, to be totally unfettered. But for most of this extended roadtrip, it would’ve been nice to have someone by my side. Navigating, scanning the radio channels for anything, playing road games or whatever. Driving so that I could sleep in the passenger seat. So there’s rarely been a moment where I didn’t want someone with me. But right now…there’s a reason I started running with a crew when Pete invited me, instead of carrying on on my own. I’d been doing fine, pulling in decent hauls by myself, but even though you’ve got more people who have noisy fucking footsteps or who might make a stupid mistake that might cost you, it always feels…safer with someone else around. I wish I had someone to watch my back. I wish I had someone to help me find Harry.

143 - One Hundred Forty Three

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] They’re coordinates. That’s—they’re coordinates! I think. 46 degrees 40 minutes North and 100 degrees 52 minutes West. At least, that’s what I’m assuming. Any other combination of North, South, East, West puts me into the ocean or…Mongolia, so I’m just going to go with my gut here. It’s North Dakota. I would guess maybe a ten hour drive—I’m already on the road and driving fast. Maybe I’m completely wrong and you’re yelling at your radio begging me to pull over and look at the numbers again and understand something but I… Maybe I want them to be coordinates. I want you to be real—to be someone other than Birdie and to be telling me where to find you. I haven’t been to North Dakota yet, there’s still a chance that people are out there, that you want me to find them. To find you. (laughs) I don’t know what—what am I gonna say to you? Would it—would it be strange to give you a hug? I’m not even that affectionate of a person but it’s been so long since— [click, static] Who is the last person that you hugged? Is it someone that you’re with? Are you with people? Looking through the messages I’ve received, I think you started to talk to me around my birthday. If I had to guess. Which means that you’re the one who told me the tornado system wasn’t automated, which makes sense, maybe Birdie didn’t know that either. It also means that you’re the person who told me I didn’t belong. But I’m choosing to see that as a…problem with tone. You can only convey so much meaning with dots and dashes and maybe you were trying to tell me I didn’t belong on the West Coast because you’d been hoping I would go North instead of West. I don’t belong where there are no people and you know that—you know I’ve been searching. Maybe you were trying to say I belong wherever you are. I’d like to hug you for that. For telling me the truth about things, about the warning siren, for giving me something to look for. Maybe you’re affectionate with someone every single day but me— Well, Harry was the last person I hugged. Obviously. Six years with someone, it’s bound to happen. But that was a few years ago now. She—maybe she is a physically affectionate person naturally but we rarely— I’d had a nightmare. I get them sometimes, as you know. Or, maybe you don’t know, I don’t know how long you’ve been listening. Maybe everything I said before getting to Vegas was lost to you. Surely you would’ve told me about the warning system before then if you had heard me. But, well, anyway, I get nightmares sometimes. About…well, it’s not important, but Harry—no matter what she felt about the situation that led to the nightmares, she never judged me too harshly for having them. And a while back, I—I think I woke up screaming. It was a bad one, it felt so real, and she came rushing in, thinking that something was really wrong and then she—- Human comfort can mean a lot even when it’s given by someone that—that you—someone who doesn’t— Well, our relationship has always been about as clear as mud, but she comforted me then. Held me until I stopped shaking. And that wasn’t the first time she’d done something like that, but it was the last. But then again, sometimes, when she cut my hair, she’d…well, I thought… She lingered. Her fingers in my hair, on my neck. Touching longer and more tenderly than they had to. [click, static] Just…when I get there, whoever you are…you can hug me. I give you full permission. And whoever you are, just…stay there. I’m coming as fast as I can.

Please visit breakerwhiskey.com for more information or to send a message to Whiskey's radio. Breaker Whiskey is an Atypical Artists production created by Lauren Shippen. If you'd like to support the show, please visit patreon.com/breakerwhiskey. ------ [TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Good morning, mysterious stranger. So, as it happens, the moment I got my car back onto the highway, your transmission started to come in, loud and clear. I’m not a hundred percent, but I’m pretty sure it’s the same phrase repeated over and over. [click, static] Yeah, I don’t know morse code. Other than SOS. Dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot. So I’m fairly confident that there’s an “o” and an “s” in your transmission, but that’s all I’ve got. So if you can speak, that’d be preferable. [click, static] But don’t worry, not knowing morse is not gonna discourage me. I figure I’ll drive up and down the highway, find the limits of the range, and then do that again in some kind of square, circle I don’t know, I need to look at my atlas and figure out the best way to do this. Zero in on location or something. [click, static] So, if at any point you wanna help me out by giving me a clue, that’d be much appreciated. And in the meantime, I’ll just keep driving and you keep transmitting.

Welcome soft, sad freaks! Once a month, writer and longtime Tumblr user Lauren Shippen and longtime user-slash-Tumblr-employee Cher McAnelly dive deep into our favorite fandom site. We talk trending topics, share our new ships, and forecast upcoming fandoms. If you’ve ever gone feral over a fic or bonkers about one of your blorbos, this podcast is for you! And remember: the password to the secret clubhouse is “shoelaces”. This podcast is not produced by, nor officially affiliated with Tumblr in any way, beyond the fact that we told them about it and they said "rad!" and high fived us before skating away on their wheelies. We love you, Tumblr.
