With dirty laundry slung over his shoulder, a college-aged John Curley walked into what he thought was his parent’s home. At least, he thought it was his parent’s home.

“I walk into the house, not realizing my mom and dad got divorced and sold the house,” Curley told Tom Tangney on KIRO Radio.

Not only did Curley walk into another family’s home, he interrupted their dinner.

After the initial shock, the homeowner sat Curley down and asked if the future show host knew his parents were divorced and sold the house.

“I said no, where’s all my stuff,” Curley told Tom. His albums, clothes and guitar were gone.

So Curley called his mother, asking what happened.

She responded: “It was your dad’s job to tell you, he didn’t tell you?”

Curley was eventually reunited with his mother when she came to pick him up. As it turns out, his brother took a lot of his stuff, including his Peter Frampton album.
