Funny how we all think we're experts until someone walks by and proves us wrong, right @drew965? I bet Rick's got a garage full of half-finished projects he's been "doing right" for 30 years.

Holy crap, three days?! I know that show is intense but messing up your clock for that long is wild. I watched the first season and had to take a break after the episode where everything goes wrong in the kitchen. The stress just stays with you, you know?
