This is a continuation of a series we previously posted on the channel years ago. You can find all the other parts in the playlist here: ua-cam.com/play/PLLc9pB32V1Qj2r6X_iTJSx65lAGMRfLUI.html
Unbelievably brilliant footage my dudes! Man just thinking, in 50 to a 100 years from now, your vids will be how the whole world can look back at these long gone gems.
You guys are some of the most respectable urban explorers I have found. You avoid using sensational/clickbait titles and thumbnails, put a great amount of effort into finding great locations and making high quality cinematics, do a fair bit of research on each location, and you always respect the urbex locations that you explore. I think many people forget the value of how important it is to document some of these buildings before they're gone and forgotten. Thank you so much for all of your videos. You guys are an asset to the urbex community.
I was in a large hospital visiting my sister and while distracted by my thoughts, hit the number on the elevator. I'd been to her room before so I just started walking the hallway towards it. It wasn't until I was out of sight of the elevator I started to think that I hadn't seen a single other person. A few more steps and I realized the entire ward was empty. It was an exact replica of her ward, the power was on, all the equipment was around, and it wasn't locked up or anything. Just zero people. Gave me a weird twilight zone feeling like everyone had vanished before I realized I had just gotten off a floor too soon.
@@jj7958 Agree. It's just something unsettling about them literally walling off a portion, allowing it to decay, while still occupying the other side of the wall. One would think they would still at least perform basic upkeep, but they don't, no one sets foot in the abandoned portion for many years. The Proper People have explored such places that only recently closed completely, but portions had already been abandoned for decades.
@@jj7958 The irony is that this isn't even a former asylum. It's still a CURRENT asylum with actual patients and medical staff! Although, the active part is relatively small compared to the entire complex itself.
I’ve worked overnight a few times outside in a decommissioned chemical plant. To my knowledge at the time not many if any died on the property. Decaying buildings just seem to give off an eerie vibe for some reason. Doing walkthroughs with subs for the bids to demo is what really made everything more creepy. Imagine control rooms where it looks like time just stopped. Notes, coffee cups, papers, calendars, and other items in place, while personal belongings are just gone. Sitting for 2 decades.
I was about to say, "Hey, that looks like Kings Park!," and then you said it out loud. I lived on Long Island most my life and been to Kings Park a few times like 20 years ago before it became so popular with urban explorers. It was awesome to see you guys go there, but it has become too popular. We went into the main building under the cover of darkness around 9PM and spent like 5 hours in there. We got in through a basement window, went all the way up to the top and out onto the roof, then went room by room, floor by floor down back to the basement. As we were leaving, my friend and I were outside one of the basement windows. As clear as day, we heard someone else walking around inside where we just were in complete darkness. We shined our lights back inside the window and saw no one in there. It honestly wasn't scary at all being in there. It was more interesting and intriguing... but that very moment freaked us out lol.
Seeing that insane pile of wheelchairs absolutely clogging the stairwell made me realize that sometimes horror video games get it right and there are ridiculous obstacles that won't let you go down that hallway lol
9:30 That wasn't a typewriter. That was an adding machine. From 1912 to the present day, Monroe specialized in calculators and adding machines for businesses. The crazy part is the company still is in business, and they still make adding machines and calculators even to this day.
The abandonment of two things make me irrationally sad: Plushies and music instruments. That piano must have been really pretty back then, and probably brought a few people there some of their few happy moments while being there.
There are various redundant safety systems on elevators to prevent them from falling, including a mechanical emergency brake that engages during a power failure. For then, it really is not that dangerous to stand in an elevator in an abandoned building. It takes far more than 'cables snapping' to send an elevator free-falling to the bottom.
@@RNCHFND "Riding in an elevator used to be dangerous business - until Elisha Otis, of Otis Elevator Company fame, invented a device that could prevent a passenger elevator from falling if its rope broke. It debuted precisely 160 years ago at the E.V. Haughwout and Company store in Manhattan on March 23, 1857." - apparently the safety system was invented in 1857.
this particular episode and the last one were phenomenal work. the location and the vibes it gave off really fit your channel and you guys are always professional about it. there’s a reason why this is my #1 favorite channel on UA-cam. keep up the awesome work guys!
@@AngryWildMango Mentioning a comment I think Michael made about how medical practices were often wrong in the old days, and how medical practices can still be wrong today.
What weirds me out is that part of the building is active and attached to that insane and contaminated mess. Is there a single locked door somewhere in a hallway and right on the other side there's this?
Where I live there is a very large regional hospital and the wings or sections not currently being used for patients are hidden behind false walls. So you might not even see a door.
I used to live in a small apartment building with 3 apartments in Portugal, one of the apartments was abandoned for decades, the real estate agent let us see this place, it was literally just 1 door away, the floor was partially collapsed, overgrown, the interior design was early 1900s, it was completely neglected and I imagine that eventually it would lead to the whole building collapsing or something like that. Stuff like that probably happens all the time.

It wasn't until I was out of sight of the elevator I started to think that I hadn't seen a single other person. A few more steps and I realized the entire ward was empty.

Gave me a weird twilight zone feeling like everyone had vanished before I realized I had just gotten off a floor too soon.
when Michael's talking about the horrors of the past in the building and you can still feel it and he pans to that jar and I swear all their souls are in that jar waiting to be let out. Really creepy
I remember when i first found your videos you two were silent! I absolutely hated it! But your footage was amazing so i put up with it. Now, i love hearing your banter. Your personalities really come through, its so nice to watch. Very calm and chill. Favorite explorers!
I'm in the UK but now I feel really at home hearing that so familiar tune from the ice cream van. Sounds dare I say it - kinda creepy from the asylum though. Even creepier - I think the chillin' wheelchairs are quietly taking over on a mission to invade earth!
Love this series, and this channel. Yours is one of two or three urban exploration channels that I will stop what I'm doing to watch when a new video comes out. No clickbait nonsense, no wacky antics, no 'shocked face' thumbnails etc. Just a methodical, professional approach to urbex with great cinematography and music, excellent locations and a respect for history. There's a reason you have 1.22m subscribers and other channels have a fraction of that.
I like the incongruity of hallways that look like the aftermath of a nuclear war, and bright and cheerful posters with pastoral scenes still on the walls. 😁
I stopped watching videos on UA-cam for awhile, but I kinda missed the thrill I get when it’s like I’m also exploring an abandoned building. It’s so cool to see all the old/vintage things and architecture :)
The ceiling shot of the elevator, brought me back to the scene in Silence Of The Lambs, where Lector is hiding on the top of an elevator, exactly like this one.
Fun fact, Picker Xray produced air-dropped X-ray labs for the Army in World War II and the Korean War. Love the content and channel guys, wish I could be your third wheel on these travels.
I’ll say it again, you two are fearless. I was freaking out just watching you explore this asylum. I love seeing the old vintage medical equipment. Thanks!
Absolutely one of my favourite channels on the internet. The fact that these videos will one day be one of the only documentation that these buildings existed makes it extremely fascinating. It’s just a shame that instead of allowing respectful people like these guys who just want to document and explore they close it off and try to keep people out. Maybe that would take the fun out of it. After all the key ingredient is crime. 😂
My father got histoplasmosis from bird crap. He was down to 10% lung capacity. It took a year on Sporanox to get rid of it and since it was a new drug at the time (25 years ago) it cost tens of thousands of dollars.
10:15 I own a nice 'double wide' version of that coat rack. They were made by the Gingher Manufacturing Company of Scranton PA in the mid fifties to early sixties. I appreciate the up close, slowed down detail shots like the super rusty wheel chair, the window sills and stuff. You should do a lot more of that. Detail the doorknobs and switch plates, super up close, show all the filth and effects of time. Detail those incredible vintage florescent light fixtures! The deep piles of pigeon shit, that's a common occurrence inside many billboards and large on-premise signs. I once worked for an outdoor advertising company. One sign we owned in a downtown area had been neglected for years. It had about two feet thick worth of pigeon shit back between the faces, I'm not exaggerating. Maintenance removed it, their crane had it's weight at about 10,000 pounds. Your videos and production quality are really really good!
Most of the homeless squatters ironically most likely have mental illness serious enough to be put in this place 50 years ago. Now they languish on the street untreated and left to die. We need new, modern updated hospitals built for the mentally ill who HAVE to be taken care of.
The piano was a Chickering & Sons made between 1910 and 1915. ETA: In fact that's a Grotrian 52" Model 132, which many people consider the finest upright piano ever made. Sound quality was superior to most Grand Pianos of the time.
They did it with the "Ridges" in athens ohio! It is absolutly beautiful. Alot of history in that place... So many luecotomys and lobotomys done. But your right, thies places should be restored and turned into museums! The architecture is just breath taking
This place was awesome! Reminded me of so many of my own explores...Kings Park, Central Islip, Pilgrim, Penn State, Pennhurst, Norwich, Greystone and Hudson River to name a few! Great work guys!
I'm always weirdly comforted by your content, i love to sit, drink coffee and eat breakfast when i don't have to hurry anywhere, and just watch your videos! It makes my day.
That is very true however they phrased it like it doesn't happen anymore. I just recently had a juvenile detention center near me close for rape and assault claims as such and a psychiatric place also come under claims for similar and worse things. Take away some of the extreme medical testing and a lot of this still goes on today.
The narrator on this video has the perfect voice for this. He sounds totally calm and is very pleasant to listen to. Great video! Any way you guys could clean the language up a bit though?
@14:15. The cash register is cool. I used one like that working at Gray Drug during college in the 80's. But you walked right by what I think are mimeograph machines. I can still smell that paper.
Man, that sine wave generator was huge. Funny how that must've been top notch tech in the day while we have chips of several milliters that can generate a sine wave and do so much more. I find the perspective as well as the appreciation that old tech gives fascinating. I love all of the old electronics and mechanics. Brilliant video as always!
If you combine all the power left on in the abandoned buildings they explored so far, I’m pretty sure you could supply an entire small neighborhood with that… Beautiful exploration like always!
Exploring buildings like this, which are partially functioning, must be something! All in all, this mental hospital is a brilliant resource for us fans of abandoned places. By the way, ‘chair just chilling’ is your slogan, I immediately think of you when I hear it 😅
I am thinking that the squatters may have filled up the stairwell and blocked off areas to avoid getting surprise visitors. That way they only had to watch specific entrances.
I most certainly did enjoy getting to come along, thank you. Riveting if I do say so. Mind blowing, thinking about how this was not that far in our distant past where we were "treating" and dealing with moderate to severe mental illnesses like that.
I'm always amazed they never run into corpses of any kind. It feels like abandoned places would be prime for suicides or murders, like the suicide forest. Not that I want to see that, it just feels like it would happen.
@@princekatana8792 I doubt they'd be stupid enough to post it if they filmed it. But I would be surprised if they didn't mention it, it wouldn't be a pleasant experience.
@@NirateGoel Yeah. They would mention it but not show it, maybe a little bit with blur. If they ever did see one I imagine they would cut the rest of the adventure, call the cops, and leave, and then tell us what happened.
YO, guys, you showed a close-up shot of a budweiser beer can in this video, which was awesome. if you see cigarette packs, would you mind showing them briefly as well? for any (former) smokers it's really cool to see old packs, for our own type of carbon-dating lolol. no words needed, just a quick peek if you ever see this/think about it. also "avalanche of wheelchairs" is a great way to explain what you've seen here.
I used to photograph abandoned places that were being reclaimed by nature back in college when I was a photo major. Unfortunately it's a bit too dangerous for young women to go alone (I got scolded for the one time I did, and I was pretty uneasy as the place was known to house meth labs and gangs) and my boyfriend of the time was unfortunately far more scared than I was (I didn't realize until we had been there a few hrs; hence why I returned alone). That was more than a decade ago and I miss it dearly. I am now physically disabled and can't do it anymore so having your videos to watch at least gives me a bit of a walk back in time. Keep your respirators on as much as possible guys; black mold spreads in those places like wildfire and by the time you're walking in animal defecation it's practically too late.
From time to time I wished I could go back into the future and see what life was like back in the day. Then these videos remind me of how cruel the world use to be and how much better it is now.
Beautifully filmed, No fake or over dramatic acting/staging. Love the small bits of History you add to most locations. Your videos are the best UE content available! Fantastic job guys! 👍🏻
Thoroughly enjoyed the continuation of this video!!! I love the picture of the wheelchair in the windows!!! So surreal !!! It just says so much about the place. The lighted part of the asylum was really creepy!!! Thx for taking us along !!!
I have been holding out subbing to you guys on Patreon for a while. Because I assumed videos like this would be $15 a month or like $10 per video for early access. Holy S*it do you guys price Patreon plans Perfectly. Awesome Video(s) and pricing model. Thx for the Amazing content PeePs!
Thanks for the support and glad you like the setup. Our Patreon campaign is of course optional and we never put our videos behind a paywall (aside from early access). We just wanted a flexible way to allow people to contribute to help fund the production of the vids.
I don't what kind of wizardry it is, but y'all always seem to upload on days I have headaches, and my headaches always seem to start going away after I see the video.
Alright you two.. I've been watching you now for years and love the content and the quality of your videos, music, locations, etc. It has become one of your trademarks to mention "chair just chilling"... You need to have someone who can do some swag, make you a good low key pic or a meme of a chair with that quote and put it on a t-shirt... I know that may sound cheesy, but I would buy and rock a shirt with a pic of a chair and that quote on the front and your logo on the back or vice versa...! Just an idea...! Keep up the great work you guys!
Another high quality production, you really know how to catch the atmosphere of these beautiful places and share it with your viewers. Great work guys!
Pretty sure that beer can is from the Ming Dynasty..... 3:44 Pull tab cans were replaced by the current (or a version of) flip tabs in the Eighties ( around 1980 is when the can tab started it's metamorphosis).
great video because the quality and content are always amazing. it’s always interesting to imagine how alive things were when a building was busy with people before it became abandoned. keep going guys!
The rooms that they locked people into just are terrifying. Locked into a room at some mental hospital seems as bad as it gets. Maybe some russian prison is about as scary.
@@nfh688jfnie True, I'm glad you spared me the mansplaining this morning to wake me up. My point was mental diseases exist, therefore society must interact in someway or the humans suffering mental disease kill us all or kill themselves. Rather than whine about past abuses, what are your current solutions to today's mental health crisis?
You guys do such great, professional work. I love checking out old abandoned sites, and you guys let me do it from the comfort of my favorite chair. I really appreciate and admire all you do.

If it wasn't for the animals around the place there would probably be more motion sensors. It must be so creepy to work on that property.
Imagine being one of the security guards with the duty to patrol the complex every night with nothing but a revolver and a crappy torch...
I've been in one. Former asylums that are still running are pretty creepy to be in.

Me too. Started at KP in 1998 and was there at least 3X a week from 2002 to 2007. Pilgrim and Central Islip too but not as often.

ETA: In fact that's a Grotrian 52" Model 132, which many people consider the finest upright piano ever made. Sound quality was superior to most Grand Pianos of the time.
I wish they restore the asylums the old architect is amazing.
They did it with the "Ridges" in athens ohio! It is absolutly beautiful. Alot of history in that place... So many luecotomys and lobotomys done. But your right, thies places should be restored and turned into museums! The architecture is just breath taking
I live within ten miles from Athens it was a fun place in college
They should restore the asylums and start using them again, so many people reject society's rules and try to substitute their own.
That gave me serious Silent Hill vibes. *shudder*
I love the slow panning shots; very artistic and poignant.
I love the pauses between talking to just absorb the sights of the abandoned areas with peaceful but gloomy music.
Holy hobo is definitely gunna be my new exclamation to any disaster I see
Right! My son got a kick outta that too🤣
That racist towards hobos.
@@chuckd9007 sorry hobos
This place was awesome! Reminded me of so many of my own explores...Kings Park, Central Islip, Pilgrim, Penn State, Pennhurst, Norwich, Greystone and Hudson River to name a few! Great work guys!
I'm always weirdly comforted by your content, i love to sit, drink coffee and eat breakfast when i don't have to hurry anywhere, and just watch your videos! It makes my day.
Suffering is indelibly etched into the fabric of those structures. What a cold, evil place.
That is very true however they phrased it like it doesn't happen anymore. I just recently had a juvenile detention center near me close for rape and assault claims as such and a psychiatric place also come under claims for similar and worse things. Take away some of the extreme medical testing and a lot of this still goes on today.
@@nathand1395 it happens still.
Love the way the walls are decaying yet the art on it was intact.
you boys are lucky to start this early and become as big as you have. Congratulations boys, hopefully you come back to Detroit some day and we meet!
Loving the slow mo wide angle? shots. where it pans across oooo amazing
That last section with the red exit signs leaving the crimson hue of 'blood' with partially active electricity was creepy af.
The blocked stairs and hallways remind me of cutoff points in video games.
A great explore - I'm not sure about anyone else, but that fog and steam was super unnerving! Keep staying safe guys.
The narrator on this video has the perfect voice for this. He sounds totally calm and is very pleasant to listen to. Great video! Any way you guys could clean the language up a bit though?
Nothing better than these old asylum tours!! Thanx for another great one!!
I grew up using a 4 drawer version of that cash register at my Father's gas station back in the early 1960s. What a great machine to use.
@22:32 you guys showing us this kind of snapshots is fascinating... That take just fills with a lot of emotions... Amazing...
@14:15. The cash register is cool. I used one like that working at Gray Drug during college in the 80's. But you walked right by what I think are mimeograph machines. I can still smell that paper.
What a beauty of an episode! But why was the floor with the pigeonpoo so full of it and most of the other floors weren't.. strange
That’s the roost
Probably because it was higher up and had more openings.
You know I'm a fan of The Proper People when every time I start a video, I vocally go along with the intro music.
Man, that sine wave generator was huge. Funny how that must've been top notch tech in the day while we have chips of several milliters that can generate a sine wave and do so much more. I find the perspective as well as the appreciation that old tech gives fascinating. I love all of the old electronics and mechanics. Brilliant video as always!
If you combine all the power left on in the abandoned buildings they explored so far, I’m pretty sure you could supply an entire small neighborhood with that…
Beautiful exploration like always!
Exploring buildings like this, which are partially functioning, must be something! All in all, this mental hospital is a brilliant resource for us fans of abandoned places. By the way, ‘chair just chilling’ is your slogan, I immediately think of you when I hear it 😅
I am thinking that the squatters may have filled up the stairwell and blocked off areas to avoid getting surprise visitors. That way they only had to watch specific entrances.
I most certainly did enjoy getting to come along, thank you. Riveting if I do say so. Mind blowing, thinking about how this was not that far in our distant past where we were "treating" and dealing with moderate to severe mental illnesses like that.
I'm always amazed they never run into corpses of any kind. It feels like abandoned places would be prime for suicides or murders, like the suicide forest. Not that I want to see that, it just feels like it would happen.
Or more likely finding the remains of someone who OD.
They might but they might simply have not filmed it or mentioned it.
@@princekatana8792 I doubt they'd be stupid enough to post it if they filmed it. But I would be surprised if they didn't mention it, it wouldn't be a pleasant experience.
@@NirateGoel yeah, I wouldn't think they'd post it.
@@NirateGoel Yeah. They would mention it but not show it, maybe a little bit with blur. If they ever did see one I imagine they would cut the rest of the adventure, call the cops, and leave, and then tell us what happened.
2:25 the old analog gage buried into rust and decay 🖤🖤🖤
Nice episode! I really enjoyed the cinematic footage with the rather unsettling music, it captured the atmosphere pretty well.
That old wood and metal wheelchair was dope.
YO, guys, you showed a close-up shot of a budweiser beer can in this video, which was awesome. if you see cigarette packs, would you mind showing them briefly as well? for any (former) smokers it's really cool to see old packs, for our own type of carbon-dating lolol. no words needed, just a quick peek if you ever see this/think about it.
also "avalanche of wheelchairs" is a great way to explain what you've seen here.
I used to photograph abandoned places that were being reclaimed by nature back in college when I was a photo major. Unfortunately it's a bit too dangerous for young women to go alone (I got scolded for the one time I did, and I was pretty uneasy as the place was known to house meth labs and gangs) and my boyfriend of the time was unfortunately far more scared than I was (I didn't realize until we had been there a few hrs; hence why I returned alone). That was more than a decade ago and I miss it dearly. I am now physically disabled and can't do it anymore so having your videos to watch at least gives me a bit of a walk back in time. Keep your respirators on as much as possible guys; black mold spreads in those places like wildfire and by the time you're walking in animal defecation it's practically too late.
I dug an old register like that from my basement at work. Similar condition. Calling those things heavy is an understatement.
From time to time I wished I could go back into the future and see what life was like back in the day. Then these videos remind me of how cruel the world use to be and how much better it is now.
Beautifully filmed, No fake or over dramatic acting/staging. Love the small bits of History you add to most locations. Your videos are the best UE content available! Fantastic job guys! 👍🏻
Thoroughly enjoyed the continuation of this video!!! I love the picture of the wheelchair in the windows!!! So surreal !!! It just says so much about the place. The lighted part of the asylum was really creepy!!! Thx for taking us along !!!
23:14 seeing 2 glowing eyes watching you at the end of the wall
look forward to all your future explores 🏫🏣🏥🏨🏬🏯🏰🌆🏚🏛🏘
Such a Pavlovian response to that theme song. My brain: Coolness! Inbound!
You guys have the best videos in this genre. Keep it up guys
Top notch viewing as usual! No hype. No shocking music or screams. Simple perfection at it’s best.
I have been holding out subbing to you guys on Patreon for a while. Because I assumed videos like this would be $15 a month or like $10 per video for early access. Holy S*it do you guys price Patreon plans Perfectly. Awesome Video(s) and pricing model. Thx for the Amazing content PeePs!
You can set it to max 1 charge per month and max 1 dollar per month if you want to.
@@EnzoBergstrom Yeah, I noticed that too. I subscribe to lots of podcasts on Patreon and it's a nice option to have.
Thanks for the support and glad you like the setup. Our Patreon campaign is of course optional and we never put our videos behind a paywall (aside from early access). We just wanted a flexible way to allow people to contribute to help fund the production of the vids.
love that Metal Gear alert sound when you noticed the motion sensor! hehe
I don't what kind of wizardry it is, but y'all always seem to upload on days I have headaches, and my headaches always seem to start going away after I see the video.
Me: I need to sleep, I work tomorrow morning
The Proper People: Heres more of that abandoned building with the power still on inside
Me: 👁👄👁
goodnight queen hope you have a great day at work
lmfao me af only school instead of work
Same I have to get up at 6 tomorrow and it's already 9
Alright you two.. I've been watching you now for years and love the content and the quality of your videos, music, locations, etc. It has become one of your trademarks to mention "chair just chilling"... You need to have someone who can do some swag, make you a good low key pic or a meme of a chair with that quote and put it on a t-shirt... I know that may sound cheesy, but I would buy and rock a shirt with a pic of a chair and that quote on the front and your logo on the back or vice versa...! Just an idea...! Keep up the great work you guys!
You guys hands down THE BEST by far exploring channel! Keep up the awesome work
Another high quality production, you really know how to catch the atmosphere of these beautiful places and share it with your viewers. Great work guys!
The fact this shit is scarier than ghost adventures I used to watch as a kid. This is the reason I have insomnia.
Pretty sure that beer can is from the Ming Dynasty..... 3:44
Pull tab cans were replaced by the current (or a version of) flip tabs in the Eighties ( around 1980 is when the can tab started it's metamorphosis).
Really great video. The music that you guys use along with the explore really adds to the creepy asylum feeling.
great video because the quality and content are always amazing. it’s always interesting to imagine how alive things were when a building was busy with people before it became abandoned. keep going guys!
2:22 millimeters of Mercury, a unit of pressure, when barometers and sometimes thermometers used a column of mercury that would go up and down.
The rooms that they locked people into just are terrifying. Locked into a room at some mental hospital seems as bad as it gets. Maybe some russian prison is about as scary.
Russians dont have a monopoly on patient abuses in institutions like this. The USA and other countries have a lot to answer for.
@@nfh688jfnie What is your solution than smart guy?
@@pavelow235 I'd explain it to you man, but honestly I dont think you're are educated enough to understand.
@@nfh688jfnie True, I'm glad you spared me the mansplaining this morning to wake me up. My point was mental diseases exist, therefore society must interact in someway or the humans suffering mental disease kill us all or kill themselves. Rather than whine about past abuses, what are your current solutions to today's mental health crisis?
I love the just chillin I never get sick of it haha
You guys do such great, professional work. I love checking out old abandoned sites, and you guys let me do it from the comfort of my favorite chair. I really appreciate and admire all you do.
the old pop top bud can reminds me of the buffet lyric "blew out my flip flop, stepped on a pop top"
That's what I was thinking as well lmao
This one for sure had a Fallout 3 vibe for me. Wow.
Honestly the thing I love most about the Fallout games is exploring old buildings.
Amazing building and good to see Michael remembered his respirator and leave it in the car thanks
“Holy hobo” 🤣. I’m always worried about the black mold, so good to see you with respirator masks on. 👍🏼
