E37: The Second-Longest Standing Prank I Ever Pulled

In this episode, Avram Gonzales shares a lighter story that reveals one of his longtime traits: a love for a well-executed prank. What started as a spontaneous moment during a house tour turned into one of the longest-running jokes he’s ever pulled.

While his mom was showing off a newly remodeled bathroom to a friend, Avram quietly hid behind a curtain and flicked the light switch—once, then again. The moment quickly took on a life of its own, with laughter, speculation, and eventually a full-blown ghost story involving a beloved neighbor who had passed away earlier that year.

Instead of confessing, Avram stayed quiet and let the story grow. For years, he listened as the tale was retold again and again—sometimes right in front of him—without anyone knowing he was the “ghost” behind it all. When the truth finally came out, it revealed just how far a small prank can travel when left untouched.

Avram reflects on how this story connects to his playful nature—and hints at an even bigger prank still unfolding years later, known only by a handful of people. This episode is a reminder that not every story that shapes us is heavy—some are about humor, timing, and knowing when to keep a straight face.
