[Todd Sickler]

You know what I'm talking about?

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I sat in that through that tunnel today.

[Todd Sickler]

This trip would have been different if you didn't make it. Todd, I tell you, I'm so glad you're alive. This would not have been a trip. We have fun with.

[Ryan Sickler]

Derek, thank you for being here as well. This is my twin brother over here. You always hear about, I say fraternal twins, but we did have identical twin beds.

[Talkspace Advertiser]

Huh?

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

And clothes.

[Todd Sickler]

And clothes.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah. We talked about our mother's mental illness. To take two totally different looking people and dress them identically. It makes no sense to do that.

[Todd Sickler]

None.

[Ryan Sickler]

Absolutely none. And right now we'll be b rolling some of the gay outfits our mother put us in. Like the back to back. Do you remember the back to back rust one? It was like a rust colored shirt.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I remember the Disney one.

[Todd Sickler]

If you remember the. Do you remember the Disney. If you look at that family picture, bro, we got, we have, we're matching. We have holes in Our pants and grass nades and the family pictures like.

[Derek Sickler]

Olin Mills or something.

[Ryan Sickler]

All right, let's go back to Iron Gate. What do you remember about Christmas morning? Is there anything you remember about Christmas morning? Vaguely.

[Derek Sickler]

Not really.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

That's where I learned we didn't have a Santa Claus.

[Ryan Sickler]

What do you mean?

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Caught dad or somebody. Oh, you saw him putting presents under the tree.

[Ryan Sickler]

I didn't. I never knew that. Do you remember when mom used to put our names on our shirts?

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

Okay, so there was a. A kid back in the day, his name was Adam Walsh. And that poor kid was kidnapped.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Names on our shirts.

[Todd Sickler]

You remember?

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah, I'd remember. The shirt I had, mine was gray. I'll tell you what one yours was. It was a gray like Heather gray with a three quarter sleeve, solid red. It said Ryan and a rainbow. Not rainbow color, but an art. And yours was same, but it was blue sleeves. Derek and Todd had one too. And Adam comes out, that poor kid that got kidnapped, and they decapitated everything.

[Todd Sickler]

And they said the number one thing, do not put your kids names on their shirts. Because the stranger, you go, hey, Ryan, your little kids. Like, this guy knows who the hell I am.

[Ryan Sickler]

And she's putting them on all our shirts. All right. Derek and I talked about this. Do you remember when we would play the game, Todd, where we would just whisper your name?

[Derek Sickler]

Yeah. Whisper under the bed and see it like that.

[Ryan Sickler]

So we're laying in that, you know, we're sharing a room next to you. And I just one night I go, I talk about this one a lot. I'm, I'm, I'm. I'm on. If you're looking at your wall, Derek's on the left, I'm on the right. And I'm just starting to fall asleep. And I feel. He's feeling little things hit me and I'm like, what the is that? And he's laughing. He's like.

[Todd Sickler]

He's picking his boogies and he's rolling them and he's just. I thought that was on second copy in the face. It probably kept going.

[Ryan Sickler]

I don't.

[Todd Sickler]

I just. But that's where it started. I know that I'm like e. And I could hear him hit my pillow and stuff.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Picked all my throat.

[Todd Sickler]

Everything went. Piece of. It's so gross, dude. It's so gross. But yeah, we would do the. The whisper game. And you'd be like, what?

[Ryan Sickler]

And then we'd be at my.

[Todd Sickler]

Quit saying his name. That was the best quit stop or say about Dave. Stop telling his name. All right.

[Ryan Sickler]

We talked about a little bit earlier to wet in the bed. You both wet the bed. But here's what I want to give you guys.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I wet Shannon's bed. I wear a lot of people's beds.

[Todd Sickler]

We had the buzzers. Yeah, the buzzer.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

That thing worked.

[Todd Sickler]

It did, dude. It worked like a. We looked it up online, too. But here's the thing, man.

[Ryan Sickler]

I still can't. I want to give you both credit because clearly something was going on in our family where these parents are divorced.

[Todd Sickler]

It's affecting you guys in a way.

[Ryan Sickler]

Where you're both wetting the bed. And I remember sleepovers anywhere.

[Todd Sickler]

People would get nervous.

[Ryan Sickler]

They put, like, down for you guys and stuff. And then they get those buzzers.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I got a plastic sheet on my bed right now.

[Ryan Sickler]

For what?

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Just in case I piss it.

[Todd Sickler]

Do you ever. Occasionally, You guys both get these buzzers. We.

[Ryan Sickler]

So it was a buzzer to attach to the T shirt up here by your shoulder, and a wire ran down to a little patch in your crotch. And if that patch got wet at all, it would immediately buzz. And if. And it's effectively training you to wake up before you pee yourself. And it 100 worked for both of you. I don't remember how long it took, but I just know that I never got any sleep. This motherfucker's got a retainer in. He's slurping.

[Todd Sickler]

I can't open. That's what he always said. They told him he had to wear it to school. He's like, I wear that.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

No way would I wore it.

[Todd Sickler]

He's gonna let his teeth go crooked. Went to bed, two buzzers all goddamn night going left and right.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

When I lived down in Westover, before I met Sarah, I used to get up in the middle of the night and open the closet door and piss all over my dirty.

[Ryan Sickler]

Drunk or just drunk?

[Todd Sickler]

Drunk.

[Ryan Sickler]

Makes sense. All right. Not just in the ha.

[Todd Sickler]

For clothes. Thinking it's the toilet.

[Ryan Sickler]

Okay, here's one I want to ask you guys if you remember. Do you remember the Volkswagen Bug? Do you remember what color it originally was?

[Derek Sickler]

Orange.

[Ryan Sickler]

Red, but close.

[Derek Sickler]

Yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

What color did it become?

[Todd Sickler]

Blue.

[Derek Sickler]

With the C and P. Telephone company.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Go.

[Derek Sickler]

For CMP Telephone or Bell Atlantic.

[Ryan Sickler]

I don't remember.

[Todd Sickler]

It was the Yellow pages. It was the two figures.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

You go by the wall page to have that.

[Todd Sickler]

So this was what I remember it being.

[Ryan Sickler]

Was you. If you put decals on your car, I believe there was one on the hood. One on each door. 1. And we had a bug. So it might have been One on the back somewhere. Maybe not. But you got a blue paint. Maybe you could have picked the color you want. But we had a blue car and we had go by the book like the two. Let your fingers do the walking. And then after one year was up, contractually they'll. You take it back, they remove the decals and you got a brand new paint job. And don't worry, you're not going to be able to tell those decals are on there.

[Todd Sickler]

Well, guess what? You can tell those decals are all over that. You can see all around that.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

It's probably an earl shy paint.

[Todd Sickler]

I mean, do you. I, I. Okay, here's another great one.

[Ryan Sickler]

Let's stay in the cars. All right. Do you guys remember when mom had the opportunity to win a brand new Chrysler laser? Go ahead.

[Todd Sickler]

What do you remember about throw a.

[Derek Sickler]

Football through the window for the like some radio station?

[Todd Sickler]

93 WPO.

[Derek Sickler]

I don't even think it made it to the car.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Didn't even make it. Was down to Inner harbor practice for like.

[Todd Sickler]

Yeah, that's the thing she didn't do.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I thought she did.

[Ryan Sickler]

No. So 93 WPOC plays a country has. Has a brand new Chrysler laser. They're raffling off and the first 93 callers or whatever get an opportunity to go down to the Inner harbor and if you can throw a football through the window, you can win this Chrysler laser. And our mother is working at little George's. Has three kids that play sports. Does not do anything about this. Unlike me, who I really have put the time in to throw this first pitch. So I hope I nail it.

[Todd Sickler]

Tonight we welcome Baltimore's own first lad. Please give a big Oriole crown welcome to Ryan Sickler. Didn't dirt it, baby. Didn't dirt it.

[Ryan Sickler]

And I. And I thought about her. I thought, I was like, I am.

[Todd Sickler]

Not going to be true. I am not going to be true to you. WPO and dirt that right here.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I would rather throw it over that guy's head.

[Ryan Sickler]

Bounce.

[Todd Sickler]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

So she's in my memory, there's a guy over here and he's just throwing the ball with his buddy and he doesn't stop. And I don't know, maybe mom's like 88. And the first 87 people miss and she's about to go and they tell everybody that if no one makes it, first round, we go again. So if no one makes it, Trudy's got a second chance.

[Derek Sickler]

Or she could have won it right then.

[Todd Sickler]

Or could have won the car.

[Ryan Sickler]

Exactly. And she steps up to that line, and, I mean, I don't think that shit made five yards.

[Todd Sickler]

We did. That was our life right there.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Like, we just wanted to do was only 10 yards.

[Ryan Sickler]

And we're like. So she goes over there and, like.

[Todd Sickler]

Number 90s Johnny Unitis.

[Ryan Sickler]

It's been practicing all night. That said right in the window. And he went right back to practice, and in case someone tied him and then they didn't and that guy won that goddamn car. Wpoc. We got T shirts. Oh, here's one just popped in my head. Do you remember filling out the index cards to try to win the Atari? I know you got to remember it was your name that was pulled and.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

What, I get, like, a Scooby Doo.

[Ryan Sickler]

T shirt or something? So Atari had just come out on.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

A wheel or something. I got.

[Todd Sickler]

You know. You know why you were pro? Because we're probably in third grade.

[Ryan Sickler]

Derek was a celebrity of Freedom elementary the next day.

[Todd Sickler]

I will say that.

[Ryan Sickler]

So we were in a unique. Literally, in a unique space because you got Baltimore shows and D.C. d.C. Shows. And there was a guy named W. Captain 20. They called him WDCA. Remember, we wear, like, a Charlie Chaplin top hat or some trying to be like a captain Chesapeake. And. But they were doing a contest where they're giving an Atari away. And it was a wheel. Of all the shows, it was what's happening? Good times. The Jeffersons, all the. We watch Scooby Doo, Woody Woodpecker. And you had to put your name, address, and phone number and your favorite TV show, and you had to send it in to WDCA. And we must have sent. We. We must sent 200 of these. And week by week, we're watching it. And then that next night, they say.

[Todd Sickler]

Derek Sickler from Elder. Oh, my God. You know, we're. Oh, my God, we about to get an Atari. And it's.

[Ryan Sickler]

You know, we could have been any show because we loved all of them.

[Todd Sickler]

And said, scooby Doo.

[Ryan Sickler]

And the guy spun that away on.

[Todd Sickler]

That ball, said, bloop, right next to Scooby Doo. And we didn't get the Atari. And then, like, two. Then we go to school the next.

[Ryan Sickler]

Day, and everyone's doing it. You know what I mean? We're all trying to win that Atari.

[Todd Sickler]

Derek's like a celebrity. We saw your name on TV last night. He's like, yeah, get the Scooby Doo shirt.

[Ryan Sickler]

And then, like, I don't know.

[Todd Sickler]

I felt like it was six months.

[Ryan Sickler]

Later, something finally came in the goddamn mail for that. You Remember that?

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I remember. I don't remember filling out all the shit, but I remember getting. And only getting a T shirt. I remember dad always blowing up the porch, trying to kill the black snake. Dump, like, 5 gallon of gasoline under that.

[Ryan Sickler]

So we had just like a concrete slab running long ways in front of the house. And there was a black snake there, and it was a hole in it. And my dad's like, I'm gonna smoke this thing out. He poured so much gas in there. And when he lit that, he did. It blew him back, man.

[Todd Sickler]

It was like, oh. I'm like, I think we got. I think we got.

[Ryan Sickler]

What about going to Grandmom's and catching the birds out of her? Oh, yeah. Tell me what you remember. Yeah, we had the.

[Derek Sickler]

We had a box and a clothes pin.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Coyote, it was.

[Derek Sickler]

And we were behind that metal, that little metal, like. Like this thing we're sitting on now.

[Ryan Sickler]

But it was.

[Derek Sickler]

I don't know what it was, but the glider.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah. But then we. Then we went up into the window so we could sit in the window catching.

[Todd Sickler]

Gross.

[Ryan Sickler]

And did we not.

[Todd Sickler]

And we.

[Ryan Sickler]

So I tell everybody, I remember vividly Grandma sitting there. And I said, we have probably never been quieter in our fucking life. We're sitting there waiting. And she loved every second. She'd be like, Helen. She always talked to our Helen. Yeah, they're out there trying to catch birds. They catch a.

[Todd Sickler]

No damn birds. Next thing you know, we got. What? She said, helen, they got one. I gotta call you back. She hung up. We go out.

[Ryan Sickler]

It's a crow.

[Todd Sickler]

I remember.

[Ryan Sickler]

I feel like it had two red dots on its head, like it had been in a fight or so I don't know what it was. And we put it in. Remember we still had the kennel from Brandy, the dog? And we put it in there just to look at it and stuff. And then we let it go. And then we call it a blue jay. Do you remember that?

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I remember flying one, like a kite.

[Ryan Sickler]

No, you did, I swear.

[Todd Sickler]

I remember. Over here walking a bird.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I remember that.

[Todd Sickler]

Thought I got hunger up on some, like, electric line. No way you did that. Grandma went walking some bird. I don't know how the hell you were.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Maybe that was somewhere.

[Todd Sickler]

It's just my blue jack. He's walking his blue jay, for Christ's sake. Yeah, it was a blackbird.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I remember flying.

[Ryan Sickler]

We caught a blackbird. We caught two birds. We caught a blue jay. And then we got really good. And I might have been you that pulled it, but out of nowhere, from right To. Yeah, from right to left, this little baby rabbit. Do you remember? And you pulled it in the box just gently. It fell on its back. And that's the moment I learned that rabbits scream. They do a.

[Todd Sickler]

We were like, oh, my God.

[Ryan Sickler]

And Grandma couldn't believe. She's like, they got another one, Helen. They got a rabbit, Helen.

[Todd Sickler]

She couldn't believe we were out there hunting.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I remember catching. Cornering a rabbit. Remember Mr. Fred's the trailer park he lived in over in Jessup?

[Todd Sickler]

I do now.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I remember cornering over there and it started screaming like that. I was like, what the.

[Ryan Sickler]

Our grandma's friend that had a white Pinto station wagon with wood paneling on it.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

He had the nub finger that he'd pack his pipe with.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah, pack his pipe with his nub, bro. That was an old school World War II vet right there, too. Tell me about what you remember about going to bingo with Grandma at Sykesville Fire Hall. Do you remember this one? That Karate Kid action figures?

[Todd Sickler]

Do you remember this? Oh, Todd, go ahead. It was.

[Derek Sickler]

Yeah, it was. Everyone had all their chips on their car. And she used to take me and her old. Her friends. Dolores.

[Todd Sickler]

Dolores, the Freakosaurus.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Those people would get pissed.

[Todd Sickler]

And I had.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

They cleared their car.

[Ryan Sickler]

There.

[Todd Sickler]

It was the best ever.

[Derek Sickler]

One of those, like, that tall, I think, right. I had a button on the back.

[Ryan Sickler]

Karate Kid was. Yeah, it was brand new at the time. He had an action figure about that big, like crane. And if you press this little lever on the box, the bottom. I remember the leg would kick off.

[Todd Sickler]

I remember the Tod. Daniel's son with the leg kicking, he.

[Ryan Sickler]

Took that to bingo with us because he was bored. And back then, there's no phones to.

[Todd Sickler]

Fidget with or either. He's just.

[Ryan Sickler]

He's just karate kidding on the table, knock.

[Todd Sickler]

Some lady's chips fall off her card. You know, one of those old ladies got like 20 cards and this is her livelihood. She's got her sweater over her shoulders this late.

[Ryan Sickler]

He.

[Todd Sickler]

He. Daniel. Son.

[Ryan Sickler]

Her cards, they went everywhere.

[Todd Sickler]

Grandma, I'm dying. It's a. He's. He's panicking. I'm laughing so hard. Grandma herself. This woman is pissed. Like, he just up her whole.

[Ryan Sickler]

Her.

[Todd Sickler]

Her chips are everywhere.

[Derek Sickler]

She probably had bingo on the way, too.

[Todd Sickler]

Crazy technique took all her. That thing. That thing had a lever on it.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Used actual, like, wood cards and had. Remember all them people had those chips with the metal rings?

[Todd Sickler]

Yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

Magnet.

[Todd Sickler]

Magnet.

[Ryan Sickler]

Dude, we played so much bingo. Do you remember playing bingo for senior year to try to win money for senior Week. And I. I think problem almost positive was Eric Lee. I missed the jackpot by one night. He still got a nice.

[Derek Sickler]

I remember him winning, but he missed.

[Ryan Sickler]

The jackpot, the big one, by, like, number. Okay, let's talk about crabbing with dad. What do you remember about crabbing with dad?

[Derek Sickler]

I remember the trout line flying out of the boat on.

[Ryan Sickler]

On 50.

[Todd Sickler]

Yup.

[Derek Sickler]

Somebody running over.

[Todd Sickler]

I had to go get it. Yeah, I'm going to get it. And somebody broke it, right?

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Yeah.

[Derek Sickler]

Four in the morning.

[Todd Sickler]

Casually, too. Ryan, get out there and get that.

[Ryan Sickler]

I'm like, what? What do you mean?

[Todd Sickler]

On the highway, running out, trying to get piece by piece that it just shatters.

[Ryan Sickler]

I'm like, God, like, we always had.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

A good plan, but it never. Like, I don't ever remember it going smooth every time.

[Todd Sickler]

I mean, welcome to our life. What are you talking about? That's our whole story.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Running over the line and getting stuck in the prop and like that.

[Ryan Sickler]

Well, we were learning, too.

[Todd Sickler]

We were learning.

[Ryan Sickler]

Do you remember the smell of those bull lip. We used to put the bull lips back in a bushel basket and put them in the vinegar freeze.

[Todd Sickler]

You remember that? Yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

Stinks so bad when you salt.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

You, like, pickle them, basically.

[Ryan Sickler]

Tell me about what you remember. Derek and I were talking about grandma, like, laying in our beds and telling stories. And I was saying, I got to give her credit because honestly, she was doing improv before I. She didn't know it, and I didn't even know what it was, but making up all those stories and stuff. And Derek, I was like, I remember her saying, skunk tooth. And we tell that story again.

[Todd Sickler]

What was his name again there? Jacob Boot. Jacob Booth. Do you remember her saying that?

[Derek Sickler]

I don't remember.

[Todd Sickler]

Oh, he said that. I was like, dude, that's a deep cut.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I don't remember those.

[Ryan Sickler]

Jacob Boot. But she would tell those fucking stories and have us pissing our pants laughing. So, like, I remember your.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I remember her.

[Derek Sickler]

The willy talk that we threw out the window.

[Todd Sickler]

Do you remember that? So will he talk?

[Ryan Sickler]

Was a ventriloquist. I remember the doll that I had when I was a kid. I have a picture of it.

[Todd Sickler]

Actually, Sam, we do have a picture of this.

[Ryan Sickler]

I'm, I'm.

[Todd Sickler]

I'm mean mugging next to it. It's Ventropa's dolls, like, all big as me.

[Ryan Sickler]

Will he talk? And then I grew out of trying to become a ventriloquist at like, 10. And, yeah, we went up to her top bedroom window and you guys threw that. I mean, Cracked a skull open on it. Just kept throwing his naked ventriloquist doll.

[Todd Sickler]

Out over and over.

[Ryan Sickler]

Oh, here's one he just made me think of. I think about Aunt Mary a lot. Do you remember Aunt Mary?

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I remember.

[Ryan Sickler]

Do you remember what she would say? She had tagline all the time about mom.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Do you remember it?

[Ryan Sickler]

I know as soon as I say it, you're gonna remember it. You don't remember people treat their dogs better than she treats you kids.

[Todd Sickler]

And she would emphasize it like that every time. Do you remember? Every time.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I remember she had to be every swan like things on her little walkway up to her house.

[Ryan Sickler]

And the other thing I remember, she was too proud. This makes me laugh when I think back on it and look at it now. Like, she did not use a walker, but she had about six lawn chairs. And she'd walk, grab one, walk to another.

[Todd Sickler]

Hold on, I'm coming. It wouldn't just like, come on, man. Get these laws. Just leaning on lawn chairs all the way up like, I ain't doing this.

[Ryan Sickler]

Okay. Do you remember how hot it used to get at second Avenue? We put a thermometer in there. You don't remember this either. That's why we were fighting for it, right?

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

That fan?

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah. So before. So it was. It was over 100 degrees. And we're like, you know, we're. This is back when the kids just stayed home for the summer and didn't go to camp after camp. And. And we're just sitting in the house and we're like, it's over 100 degrees in here. Like right now, actually. We got to get air conditioned. And they went to an attic fan first. It didn't do.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Just pulled hot air.

[Ryan Sickler]

It didn't even.

[Todd Sickler]

It pulled hot air.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

It made a breeze, but that was it.

[Todd Sickler]

A hot breeze.

[Ryan Sickler]

Derek and I talked about this. What do you remember about Scare and Russell? Do you remember the night.

[Derek Sickler]

Oh, yeah, that was. I remember it was. I think you hit under the bunk bed and Jeff Wagner was outside.

[Ryan Sickler]

Or you're close.

[Todd Sickler]

You got. You got parts of it, right?

[Ryan Sickler]

We passed Springfield.

[Derek Sickler]

Dad sent Jeff's ass home.

[Todd Sickler]

Dad.

[Ryan Sickler]

Dad said Mike Myers was in there. He told Russell that was the mistake he made. So then we got a plan to put. We put that recorder under your bed. It was just going, russ.

[Todd Sickler]

We'Re playing video games all day long. Yeah, because now you're not the younger one anymore. You're like, I want to with this kid.

[Ryan Sickler]

And we're going r. And you're playing that I. Wagner and Derek are Playing video games. I'm outside. You outside running through the yard. You help me coordinate. I said when he comes up the window to look, I'm going to be down here. I'm just going to. Somebody had like a Frankenstein glove or something. And I put it up on the window. And I did not expect him to scream the way he scream. And then dad came out in his tiny white. He's probably just getting this for the.

[Todd Sickler]

First time in forever.

[Ryan Sickler]

And I ruined it for him.

[Todd Sickler]

And he's coming out and yelling. He probably was six years old. He scared the out of it.

[Derek Sickler]

He was terrified.

[Todd Sickler]

He's hugging his mom, Dad's in his underwear. And Jeff go home. He came around through Jeff. Jeff had to get the out of there. I got so much trouble for that. Why would you do that?

[Ryan Sickler]

Oh, do you guys remember the time? We'll just jump around. This is second Avenue. Mom was backing out and hook bumpers. Hook Dad's bumper in the winter. Do you remember that? Oh, man, you don't.

[Todd Sickler]

I bet you she does.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I remember the horn getting stuck stuff.

[Ryan Sickler]

All right, we'll come back to that. She took the Volkswagen. She's backing out. She hooks the Datsun bumper. Remember we had the Dotson B210 brown wagon. She was backing out and she hit dad's car. And it connected the bumper somehow. And he was trying to sleep after work and he came out again in his underwear in the winters going nuts, trying to pull it apart.

[Todd Sickler]

And you don't remember that? Yeah, tell the horn.

[Ryan Sickler]

I've told this in my stand up.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

It just was freezing ass cold.

[Ryan Sickler]

And do you know why it was on the fritz?

[Todd Sickler]

Do you know. Do you remember?

[Derek Sickler]

Station wagon, right?

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah, yeah.

[Derek Sickler]

Aspen.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I don't know why, but I know when it gets cold, it contracts and sometimes it'll like make the connection.

[Ryan Sickler]

We were the blame for that. It was not anything to do with just the cold. I used to leave people's house. I used to leave.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

That's why it happened though.

[Ryan Sickler]

And I would hold the horn down. I mean it's long pass. And then he would call me. But I. I counted 30 seconds.

[Todd Sickler]

I can still hear your like, okay. Used to be.

[Ryan Sickler]

Well, using that horn so much. It was on the fritz.

[Todd Sickler]

That's not why 100%.

[Ryan Sickler]

I would burn. I burnt that horn out, dude. I'm telling you. I would leave houses.

[Todd Sickler]

I'm like.

[Ryan Sickler]

And just hold it for like a minute straight. You don't remember the time it was. Or maybe you do. It was on the fritz and it would just Go off. And we're in traffic and the dad sitting behind the car. It's.

[Todd Sickler]

We're looking at each other, laughing. It's going. He's like, it ain't me. He's like. He's just the one guy. Keeps looking back. He's like. He's like, I know you kids are messing with this car. I know you kids are messing with this car. That's Chris's wedding. I know it is.

[Derek Sickler]

Just married in the station wagon.

[Todd Sickler]

Now we're driving the thing.

[Derek Sickler]

But the middle got broken into and all our Christmas presents were stolen.

[Ryan Sickler]

That's what I tell people all the time. Baltimore stole Christmas.

[Todd Sickler]

It was a blast.

[Ryan Sickler]

It was definitely a civic center for sure.

[Todd Sickler]

Yeah, it's. Broke all that and took everything.

[Derek Sickler]

Smashed the back window, skateboards, all of it.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

They took all pizzas out on the window there. Crazy job.

[Ryan Sickler]

People run by.

[Todd Sickler]

Yeah, man.

[Ryan Sickler]

But wait. So the horn goes off. So it's the middle of the night again. Dad's working late, comes home, he's barely asleep again and that. And we had a gravel driveway. And you could put. You literally could pull the car right up on the house if you wanted to. And that car is close as it is. And just. It must have been two, three in the morning. And just. I mean, it sounded like a boat coming through that house.

[Todd Sickler]

And he went out in his tidy whiteies and work boots with a buck knife and just cut. He just cut it. And I'll say, here's something else. I didn't even know where the.

[Ryan Sickler]

I wouldn't know where to cut a horn line.

[Todd Sickler]

I was like, that motherfucker's a man. He knew where the horn was. He just cut that. Yeah, he slammed it down, went to bed, didn't say anything, but he was. He was pissed.

[Ryan Sickler]

Were you.

[Todd Sickler]

Do you remember when Derek got called stealing the car I was in.

[Derek Sickler]

I was with dad.

[Ryan Sickler]

You were going to work with him?

[Derek Sickler]

Yeah, he was taking me to work.

[Todd Sickler]

Did you know that?

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

No, I didn't know that.

[Derek Sickler]

I was in the back of the car.

[Todd Sickler]

I'm home by myself.

[Ryan Sickler]

Thank God.

[Todd Sickler]

I'm asleep by myself in the house. Yep.

[Derek Sickler]

He forgot something.

[Todd Sickler]

Would have been murdered.

[Derek Sickler]

He forgot something and turned around.

[Todd Sickler]

You were with him? Oh, hell yeah. And here's Darren.

[Derek Sickler]

He just. He just said, turn around.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

He said, where the fuck you think you're going first?

[Derek Sickler]

Yeah, I was going to work with him.

[Ryan Sickler]

Let's talk about the Ford Escort. So we. We touched on it a little bit, but we didn't get into. I. I did mention going to Hanover for the outlets. But I didn't mention the time mom ran over the kid. So Tommy run him over.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

He kind of ran his face into the side.

[Derek Sickler]

Well, then he got hit like. She ran.

[Ryan Sickler]

She ran his ass. I didn't say it bounced off the.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Side of the car.

[Ryan Sickler]

I didn't say it's her fault. But she ran over his ass.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

She didn't. Like, he wasn't under the car.

[Ryan Sickler]

His leg went under.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I didn't think his leg.

[Todd Sickler]

He broke his leg.

[Ryan Sickler]

That kid's head hit here.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Yeah.

[Derek Sickler]

Left a dent in the corner in the quarter panel.

[Ryan Sickler]

And then he went. You know, he fell back, thank God. And then was the back tire. Boom, over the leg, and he was crawling back to the sidewalk. And what I remember is it. I mean, I know they say if you hit a pedestrian, it's your fault, but he looked the way we were traveling and did not look back at us. And boom. Right. Runs him over. The mom sees it. She sees what happens. So she comes out and she's. You know, she's with us.

[Derek Sickler]

Janice.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yup. That's what I was gonna see. If you remembered, it was Judy driving. Janice. And I'm behind Judy, and I tried to put my seatbelt on to start the ride, and she said, we can't put seat belts on because we got to do three across. And I think you and Julie were in the hatchbacks.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I mean, I remember people being stuck.

[Derek Sickler]

Take the COVID thing and then put it down.

[Ryan Sickler]

There's no seat, nothing. You just curled up back there.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I don't think I ever got back there.

[Ryan Sickler]

And then when she hits the kid, she stops. She's freaking out. She actually does tell the lady, you know, like, don't yell at this kid. It's. It's fine. He's a.

[Todd Sickler]

Whatever.

[Ryan Sickler]

Cop comes. Whatever. Cop says, you guys wearing your seatbelts? And I said, well, I was trying to.

[Todd Sickler]

I couldn't wait.

[Ryan Sickler]

I said, but my mom said we.

[Todd Sickler]

Couldn'T have them on because we had to.

[Ryan Sickler]

We had to put three people across here.

[Todd Sickler]

He just looking. I was like, everybody's got to be buckled up. I was like, yeah, I got one in on Trudy.

[Ryan Sickler]

Boy, rat her ass out.

[Todd Sickler]

We had a dent in that car forever.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

She used to do that as the seatbelt.

[Ryan Sickler]

Spit on a napkin.

[Todd Sickler]

That.

[Ryan Sickler]

That's one thing I promised Stella I would never do. And I have never done and will never do spit and. Oh, you with that stank used to put on my face. Oh, it's gross. Okay. I think about this a lot too. Do you remember Uncle John?

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Yeah, with the model airplanes.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah, but he. But he painted everything purple.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Every purple haze we had.

[Todd Sickler]

We had the pickup truck, he painted.

[Ryan Sickler]

It, but it was like Bondo.

[Todd Sickler]

Yeah. It was not. It was putty. It looked like putty all over the side.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

It's like a 79 Ford pickup.

[Todd Sickler]

He called it Purple Haze.

[Ryan Sickler]

And this dude painted everything purple. We, I will never forget, we had an orange Burger King. Did a giveaway of an orange Orioles baseball bat you got. Gave it to that motherfucker, came back purple. I'm like, why are you painting the orange and black Oreo? We had a RC plane. We tried out, gave it to him. Dad's like, he knows what he's doing. Came back purple.

[Todd Sickler]

This motherfucker's not souping.

[Ryan Sickler]

Souping them up. He's just painting them purple. And I can't help but laugh and think how cruel and ironic life is that this man loved purple.

[Todd Sickler]

We got the race and he dies and we get the Ravens. That son of a would have been coming all over. His whole place would have been purple. He was so.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I think he was in there marching.

[Todd Sickler]

He might have been something.

[Ryan Sickler]

Colts, Colts, marching band.

[Todd Sickler]

Yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

And then the Ravens come and the.

[Todd Sickler]

Dude never even gets to see how purple the city is.

[Ryan Sickler]

And all he did. If you left something at his house, it was I painted your.

[Todd Sickler]

Your chest set purple.

[Ryan Sickler]

Like, stop. Why are you doing that, Dude? Todd, I wanted to ask you this. What do you remember? Oh, wait, you don't want me to ask you about that. I was just going to ask you about being searched in high school. Can you talk about that without saying what it was?

[Derek Sickler]

I mean, just someone made something up and they searched me for drugs.

[Ryan Sickler]

Ripped my.

[Derek Sickler]

Stripped the back seat out of my mustache.

[Ryan Sickler]

Wait, can we tell it then, then? Because it's a made up story, so. Well, because what I remember, we're living with grandma and you call us and you say someone made up a story. Like you were. You were. This is a long time ago. Trying to remember you were gonna have drugs in your locker and that they should check it at a certain time. Yeah. Which definitely sounds like a narc setup up.

[Derek Sickler]

And there was nothing.

[Ryan Sickler]

So they. They check your locker.

[Derek Sickler]

I don't know, they pull you out. No, no, this. I'm getting my car to leave and then I'm surrounded by these cops.

[Ryan Sickler]

Oh.

[Derek Sickler]

And they took me out and put me against the car and starts to rip my back seat out looking for drugs and everything else.

[Ryan Sickler]

They found nothing.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I didn't.

[Ryan Sickler]

Wasn't dealing drugs and so then what happens?

[Todd Sickler]

I don't.

[Ryan Sickler]

I think I. I know what I did. I called Mrs. Oliver.

[Derek Sickler]

Well, I told mom about it and. No, I think I was a senior.

[Ryan Sickler]

He was a senior. Because I called Ms. Oliver.

[Derek Sickler]

I was 17.

[Ryan Sickler]

And I said. And in front of Grandma. I was able to drop the F bomb in front of Grandma. Which you couldn't do. I did it. Do you remember when I used to sing songs and I would work in there all day?

[Todd Sickler]

I'd sing them all the way. She had no idea I'd be like.

[Derek Sickler]

Like messing with Sister Carmina.

[Todd Sickler]

But yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

So I called Ms. Oliver and I said, listen to me. You leave that kid alone. This family's been through enough. You did nothing for my brother and I when our father died. Not one goddamn guidance counselor meeting. Not one thing. No one gave a. For two and a half years that we had no parents. This kid's about to graduate. No one's dealing drugs. You leave him the alone. I swear to God, if he doesn't graduate without issue from here on out, you're gonna.

[Derek Sickler]

I made him switch my locker too.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah, because someone was going to set you up is what was going to happen. Someone was going to plant one of.

[Derek Sickler]

These kids that come and go and.

[Ryan Sickler]

It felt good to be out of school and customus Oliver out. And Grandma just sat there in a chair and I said one, and she let it go. The other time you came over, you might remember this. And you said. You told me Mom's new boyfriend didn't hated me or something. And I said, him and Grandma. Grandma just looked at me.

[Todd Sickler]

Just felt like.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I still have his gun.

[Derek Sickler]

Who do you have 9 millimeter?

[Todd Sickler]

The mom's ex husband. Why you got that guy's gun?

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

She didn't want it and I took it. Taurus, 9 millimeter. It's a nice gun.

[Ryan Sickler]

Is it? Do you shoot it?

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Yeah, once in a while. Take it to the junkyard and shoot.

[Ryan Sickler]

Do you remember a minute? Mom doesn't remember this. I asked her for a hot second. She had a silver Nova with red plaid interior. Do you remember that?

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

I think that was my granddad's car.

[Ryan Sickler]

I don't remember that.

[Todd Sickler]

I feel like he bought it like.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Up in Arbutus somewhere. It had that Burberry.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yes.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Interior.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yep. Do you ever remember seeing mom or dad kiss or hug or affection in any way? No.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

No, not at all.

[Todd Sickler]

Me either.

[Ryan Sickler]

I. I do have a visual memory.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

Kiss something that had a mouth that smelled like that.

[Ryan Sickler]

Do you remember what he used to say when he passed by? The church. They got married.

[Derek Sickler]

That's where I committed suicide.

[Todd Sickler]

That's where I committed suicide. But I love you guys. I love you guys.

[Additional Family Member or Friend]

He said the best thing out of this marriage is you.

[Todd Sickler]

Three kids.

[Ryan Sickler]

That's all.

[Todd Sickler]

That's rock. Committed suicide. But I love you guys. I love you guys.

[Ryan Sickler]

I hope you enjoyed the first episode of the Way Back to Baltimore junkyard series. Trying something different. Why not? We've got the ability to go do it. Why sit here and do the same thing all the time? So I hope you guys are enjoying it, and if you are, throw a comment in there, let me know and we'll keep on doing it.
