MINEOLA, NY — “It came out of nowhere.” stated thirty-two year old Rob Horne, whose Facebook feed recently presented him with the uploaded audition tape of Johnathan Leinrech, a man he’d once worked with at an Athlete’s Foot in the Roosevelt Field mall. The tape was meant for the fifth season of the MTV show Road Rules. “He was an alright guy — I guess he’d be good on TV.” stated Mr. Horne about his former colleague.

The video’s accompanying description stated “Came to clean up because Dad’s selling the house after mom died but look what I found! #goodfrombad”

Other items salvaged include a bottle-cap from “that night on the bridge” as well as a ‘cassingle’ of the 1994 hit Funkdafied by platinum selling hip-hop artist Da Brat.

The video displayed Mr. Leinrech’s physical prowess with footage of him traversing a homemade obstacle course in the parking lot of an Outback Steakhouse. The video also included his artistic merits as he serenaded the lens with a rendition of Two Princes by funk-rock outfit Spin Doctors and at least half of the Marcy Playground hit Sex and Candy while wearing a black tank-top. He went on to tout his paradoxical ability to be both “deep” as well as “down for whatever”. At the time of the video’s recording he was able to bench press 246 lbs.

“At first I thought he uploaded it as a joke but he seemed to be pretty proud of himself. All of his friends seemed to be impressed as well.” said Mr. Horne. He later went on to add “I didn’t know he could play guitar.”
