Jay's Nightmare a Hello Neighbor Short

By Roy Roth

It was a long and stressful day for Jay Roth, who had a bad day at work, unlike his wife Luanne.

Jay looks in the mirror with a bizarre expression.

Jay: "i gotta tell you this launne, this job isn't paying me well, and all this stress is getting to me."

Luanne: "Oh, honey dear, it's just stress. All you need is a bit of relaxation and sleep, of course."

Jay’s POV: The mirror in front of him cracks slightly as if in response.

Jay: "A bit of that for one or two weeks is enough for me."

Jay dives into bed, pulling the covers over himself.

Luanne: "Good night, honey." Luanne turns off the light next to her.

Jay: "Sweet dreams, launne." Jay also turns off the light on his side.

Jay kisses Luanne on the cheek before going to sleep.

??? (Female): "Eww, I think I’ve been kissed by a J**"

Jay: "What?"

Leslie: "Hey, is this our bed, or are we in the wrong room?"

Jay: "Huh?"

Gordon: "Does anyone have a Golden Apple coin with them?"

???: "I do."

Jay: "Now what in-"

Suddenly, random people appear in bed with them.

Random People: "HII!"

Jay: "Luanne, there are strangers in our bed!"

Luanne: "What are you people doing here."

*Door knocking.*

Jay: "Now what?"

Jay opens the door, and a random couple walks in.

Ellen: "This motel isn't so bad right kids."

Shaun and michael: "Yep."

Martin: "It might not be bad but the state where are in is so bad."

Jay: "What the—"

*Door knocking.*

Emily: "Tip him."

Henry: "yes honey. Here ya go."

Jay: "Umm, excuse me, this isn't a—"

*Door knocking.*

More and more random people enter the room.

DoorDash Guy: "Order's here."

Jay: "I didn't order anything—hey, wait!"

Jay shuts the door loudly, getting everyone’s attention.

Jay: "People! People! What and why is everybody in our house? And who told all of you that our house is a motel?."

As Jay tried to make sense of the chaos around him, he heard rustling from under the blankets. To his surprise, his college friend, Miguel Esposito, emerged, looking sheepish.

Miguel: "Hey, Jay. Uh... so, funny story—I think I messed up."

Jay: "Miguel What Now."

Miguel: "So, I accidentally gave the wrong location for the motel I own. Instead of people going there, they ended up here."

Jay: "What?! How does that even happen?"

Miguel: "I mixed up the GPS coordinates, and now everyone thinks this is the motel. They’ve been coming here all night."

Jay stares at Miguel in disbelief as more people wander through the house, some even helping themselves to snacks in the kitchen.

Jay: "Miguel, you can’t just use my house as a motel!"

Miguel: "Come on, Jay, it’s just for one night. I’ll fix it in the morning, I swear!"

Miguel gives a nervous laugh, but Jay's stern expression doesn't waver.

Jay: "My house is not for sale."

Miguel: "Well, of course not, but it is for rent."

Everyone burst into laughter, filling the room with noise.

Miguel: "I’ve got all my staff outside waiting for orders. Say, does anyone want some snacks or drinks?"

Crowd: "We do!"

As one of Miguel’s staff members opened the bedroom door, the roomful of people spilled out, tumbling onto the floor. Jay found himself buried under the pile of bodies.

Jay: "Luanne, honey, help! I need to move, Luanne, I—"

Suddenly, Jay jolted awake, gasping for breath.

Jay: "Oh, good God. Luanne, I just had the craziest dream ever. Our house was being rented out—can you imagine that?"

Jay turned around to see Luanne, his heart nearly stopped. Everyone from his dream was still there, crowded in the room.

Miguel: "Oops That wasn’t just a dream, you know, pal."

Jay: "Aaaaaahhhhhh!"

In a panic, Jay bolted out of the room, dashed outside, and jumped into his car. Without looking back, he sped off down the street.

Back inside, Maritza watched through the window, confused.

Maritza: "What’s wrong with your dad?"

Nicky: "I have no idea."

The Tan Drewman, Tanner

Statistics

Age: 26 (Season One)

Alignment: Accomplice

Badge: Wave

Color Type: Orange

Debut: Hiring Squad

Effect(s): Water Gun (Tanner squirts water from the ambient atmosphere at the opponent); Surf’s Up (Tanner rides his surfboard in midair and rams into the target); Sand Blaster (Tanner sprays sand into the opponent’s face); Splash Down (Tanner sends a crashing wave into the opponent)

Extra Forms: Chi Tide (Tanner calms himself, increasing his reaction time and power)

Family Members: Tanya and Lucas Karmell (Parents); Tammy (Sister)

Rank: A- (Main Character)

Character Bases

Tanner’s distinct eyes were inspired by quite a few Adventure Time characters, namely Jake, but I don’t have that kind of space.

Development

Tanner’s personality remained largely constant; it’s his design that changed. He was designed as an adult, unlike most of the initial cast, but was actually aged down for Rough Sketch.

It actually makes for sort of a whiplash when Tanner’s suddenly twice his size practically between seasons.

The only difference now is that his hair is done up in a style easier to draw.

The Admiral Was a Lady

In The Admiral Was a Lady, a post-World War II comedy, Wanda Hendrix (Prince of Foxes) stars as Jean Madison, a former WAVE (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) ensign taken under the wings of a rowdy group of former airmen, who affectionately dub her the “Admiral.” Handily directed by veteran filmmaker Albert S. Rogell (Li’l Abner), the film is bolstered by the crackling chemistry…

The second and last in-person wrestling show I ever went to was from a company called World Series Wrestling, the event was called International Assault Defend & Destroy, and there were quite a few people, a majority of them were Australian but there were a few names that are well known.

The well-known names that I interacted with were Robbie Eagles, Bandido, Frankie Kazarian, Christopher Daniels, Scorpio Sky, Brodie King, Joey Ryan (that one was just out of pity and because he was sitting next to) Adam Brooks.

The only reason I even went to this show was for one wrestler in particular, who has since retired, Dowie James.

And when we got to the place that they were holding the event I was with my mother and we decided to go and get food and as we were walking to get food we passed Brodie King, some other guy and I think Bandido without his mask on.

I have a signed picture from Frankie, Christopher and Scorpio. A signed picture from Bandido. A Joey Ryan t-shirt. A Robbie Eagles T-shirt and a signed picture, and I don't think I got anything from Dowie except for a picture that I have no idea where is and it is really bad.

He was with Bullet Club at the time too.

They were the only ones out when I first went to the merch tables and I made eye contact with them, so I felt obligated.

Didn't really speak to each other tbh.

The GOP's false narrative

Republicans have a narrative about how they saved North Carolina. To hear them tell it, North Carolina was a spiraling hellhole of bloated government and over-regulation that kept businesses from moving here and taxes too high. In reality, everything that’s made North Carolina one of the most desirable states in the nation was built by 50 years of Democratic and moderate Republican…

On occasion Brooke would purposely bring out Brody's jealous side, despite knowing that things could go from bad to worse in a minimal amount of time. But it showed her he wanted her, didn't want anyone else to have her, and she couldn't deny that she liked that. The blonde leaned up, letting her forehead rest against his own, quiet for a few moments, hearing his breathing returning to normal, and she was grateful. The last thing they needed was for Brock to hear that Brody beat the shit out of some guy for hitting on her. Not that they couldn't spin it as protective, but still, it was easier if it didn't happen in the first place.

A light chuckle left the blonde at his agreeance and she nodded against his head. "Couldn't hurt." she teased, a smirk finding her features as she mimicked his motion and pulled back from him so her dark hues could meet his light ones. Brooke's head shook slightly, blonde hair falling around her shoulders, as her hand moved from the back of his neck to his cheek, her thumb stroking it gently. "You don't have to be sorry. I'm not mad." she assured, a small smile finding her lips. "I'm sorry my brother is a dick." she offered in return, her grin growing before she leaned up to press her lips to his quickly. "Now c'mon, that joint is calling my name."

Part of Brody knew this vicious and jealous side of him could turn very unhealthy but the other side of him that thrived on it wouldn't let him react any other way. Violence and anger first and foremost, it was what he'd known best of all for so long, feeling he could control those actions better than any other emotions he might harbor. His eyes swept over Brooke's features, studying her for a few calming beats, a slow and deep breath filling his lungs, furthering the calming of his nerves Brooke was trying to aid in. Her closeness and the way her fingers brushed against the base of his neck settled any remaining jealousy that growled like a beast in his chest. Brody cleared his throat before leaning down a little to press his forehead to Brooke's, securely centering himself.

"Yeah, maybe I do need a joint," because a few more drinks were out of the question, like his father, Brody pondered too much in the past when he was drunk and obviously what little liquor he already had in his system was too much as it had fueled him to be so bold. He pulled back after a few seconds and exhaled, tension leaving his shoulders and his head nodding. "-- I'm sorry I flipped my shit like that."

ADAM BRODY Inverse | March 2023 📸 Matthew Brookes

I haven't been able to get Spruce and his Muppet wife Brandi out of my head ever since that Vacay Island clip came out 💕

Per usual, I have headcanons:

Spruce's name change to "Bruce" was inspired by his wife's name

All 13 of their kids have names that start with "Br" (e.g. Bryce, Braxton, Brandon, Brianna, Brittney, Brady, Brody, Brooke, Bryan, Bruno, Brenda, Brill, Brucie Jr.)

A majority of the kids are boys, given that boys run in Spruce's side of the family (plus there is a sign in one of the concept arts for the cantina they run that was called "Bruce and Sons'")

The kiddos are convinced right away that Branch is related to them since his name starts with "Br"

At the start of their relationship, Brandi played hard-to-get at first, not so easily charmed by Spruce right away, which aided in Spruce falling in love with her for being different than the previous girls he's flirted with

Brandi is better at keeping the kids in line due to her being bigger than them, unlike Spruce

Spruce loves to spoil his kiddos with desserts from their cantina and with all sorts of fun activities on Vacay Island, like surfing💜

That Wresting Moment: Model v Model - Chase Lundquist v Jett Bentley (88wrestling.com)

Wresters come in all backgrounds, so for this moment I thought I'd start by running through who does it best and we begin with two really really good looking male models that somehow made there way to the ring; Chase Lundquist v Jett Bentley in Muscle Model Mayhem.  

Rex Brody v Nick Milani (muscleboywrestling.com)

SPOILER ALERT: I highly recommend viewing this match in its entirety before reading this post.

The Backstory

Our fight opens typically enough, the guys are pure shredded muscle.  So much so that Jett points out, "I'm the shredded one" and Chase comes back in disbelief with, "Oh you're shredded [removes his shirt revealing shredded abs]?"

Bonus modeling points for Jett sporting the Cindy Crawford mole

Chase: These are real abs right here.

Not the most aggressive start to be sure, but soon we're off as our two shredded muscle models fighting it out.  

The Action

Chase is the aggressor in the first round; putting Jett in a few holds while he prances around the ring.  Yes, prances - these two are models after all.  

Our two models take turns a lot.  Putting each other in leg locks.

Now make no mistake, there are some highlights between the two.  Chase getting some hits in on Jett's sculpted body...

... and Jett, finding his way in gay wrestling, just enough to put a little hurt on his golden opponent.  

The Moment 

But let's face it, we all came here to watch two models and what do they do best.  So this moment is all about our men posing and boy do these two strike a pose.

Is this Cameron Matthews quality wrestling, or Mason Brooks trash talk, or Morgan Cruise level domination? Perhaps not.  But we didn't come for all that anyway so it's unfair to judge our two young, shredded studs by all that; we all came here for two guys that are really really good looking. 

So let's face it, the wrestling is not the focus here.  In fact, we are here for one thing - to see shredded, golden muscle studs, straining away under something like wrestling holds.  

Jett trapped with no where to run

Those made for the camera muscles that could grace any runway are the same muscles lubed up with sweat and pushed to their limit.  So yes, this is a wrestling match with a focus other than the wrestling and yes those are fighting words, but model v model offers a slower paced, less physical fighting form that does the sweaty job without leaving a single hair out of place.
