0:45

How did you and Will lead me, right?

0:47

You guys are friends. I've heard. Allegedly.

0:51

You guys are trying to convince people that you're friends,

0:53

right? Yeah, we keep telling

0:55

people that separately. People don't believe

0:57

it. They say you have

1:00

no friendship chemistry. Nothing in

1:02

common. Brutal. Brutal. So brutal.

1:04

We actually met at Vinny, previous

1:07

guest, Billy Bonka was his name

1:09

on our show. We met at

1:11

his birthday party and I was

1:13

there as Vinny's friend and Rekha

1:15

was not. I had never

1:17

met Vinny. I had seen some of his

1:19

videos, but mutual friend Patrick

1:21

McDonald said, I'm going

1:24

to a birthday party.

1:26

And I was like,

1:28

I'll go. That's funny because

1:30

it didn't sound like you got invited

1:32

in that interaction. Okay. Hey, is something

1:34

wrong? Are you okay? You're

1:39

kind of coming at me. I'm like learning

1:41

how to get invited to stuff. Yeah, I think

1:43

what's happening is I told Sean I was going

1:45

to Vinny's party and Sean didn't say anything. And

1:48

now he's realizing he could have been there too.

1:50

Oh, interesting. Yeah. Sean, this is actually kind

1:52

of a lesson for you. Yeah. Listen up

1:55

buddy. I'll go to like

1:57

literally whatever. So someone's like I'm writing

1:59

for the the White House Correspondents Center. You

2:01

could be like, I'll go, and then

2:03

you're there, and then you meet Willy, yeah. And

2:05

I'm always there. You've

2:09

never said no to a birthday party. I would

2:11

never say no. Oh, this guy, he's a hog

2:13

for birthdays. Someone just said no to my birthday

2:15

party. Yeah, I'm out of

2:17

town. Hey

2:22

Willy, I'll go. Oh

2:24

no. Uh oh, oh no. Oh

2:26

no. Oh. Welcome

2:53

at a local Frasier

2:56

radio station, or the equivalent

2:58

of a radio station in

3:00

our world. And

3:02

that is KPWT, where the

3:04

gang is just sitting in

7:54

heads out back into where like the actual

7:56

studio Itself is and

7:58

leaving you all in the lobby to

8:00

talk amongst yourselves. Oh my god, I can't believe we're

8:02

doing the advice column. I didn't know that we were

8:05

going to be doing the infamous advice column with her.

8:07

I mean, like, what? No

8:09

sweat, you guys. We give each other

8:11

good advice all of the time. Yeah,

8:14

and, you know, we're obviously going to

8:16

be, like, giving advice to the people,

8:18

and, you know, that's obviously going to

8:20

show how good of a campaign we

8:22

are going to have. And very little

8:24

pressure or stakes or anything. In our

8:26

lives' rule, we're very wise. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

8:28

Yeah, I'm about to go off.

8:32

Whoa, what was that? I thought I

8:34

heard thunder. Did I do that? That

8:37

was wild. Yeah, that was crazy. Whoa.

8:39

I knew I was more powerful than

8:41

I thought. Did you just drive a

8:43

car to here, Jennifer? She's

8:45

Stuart Littling in the lobby. She has,

8:47

like, a car all over her. Yeah!

8:52

God, Jennifer, stop Stuart Littling everywhere.

8:55

If you're going to be on the campaign

8:58

trail, you got it right in style. She's

9:01

drunk driving right now. That's

9:03

a toy car. That's so sick. A

9:06

small cop car behind her turns out

9:08

its cherries. Oh, God,

9:10

this is not good. Guys, pick me up.

9:13

I grabbed Jennifer. And

9:15

as you do, the door opens again,

9:18

and Delilah herself walks

9:20

out to introduce herself. And

9:23

Rekha, would you be so kind

9:25

to actually describe what Delilah looks

9:27

like? Delilah is also, like, a

9:29

bird-like person, most typical to a

9:31

crane or most similar to a

9:34

crane. Long features,

9:37

long beak, long mac. But

9:39

she's like, I'm not a bird. I'm not

9:42

a bird. Likes to make a

9:44

point, like, if you're like, oh, yeah, you do bird stuff, I'm

9:47

not a bird. She

9:50

has, like, kind of, like, gorgeous,

9:52

like, blonde hair, glasses, very

9:54

similar to Ichabod's situation. There's, like,

9:56

kind of gorgeous, like,

9:59

NPR. and then

10:01

maybe more practical readers up top,

10:05

wearing just like kind of a sweater that has like

10:07

a collared shirt attached under it, just like very pleasing,

10:10

soothing vibe to her. Hey

10:15

there, sweethearts. Hey there,

10:18

Delilah. Hi, Delilah. I'm

10:22

so glad you guys are here for the community

10:24

segment. You know, a

10:27

lot of times I give my advice and it's good. It's

10:30

good. It is, it is. It's more than

10:32

good, it's exceptional, Delilah. And right, and correct.

10:34

Oh, you're such sweethearts. You smell amazing. You

10:36

don't even have to, you're on the radio,

10:38

you don't even have to smell so good,

10:40

it's crazy. I make sure to bathe a

10:42

few times a day. I told you, beef,

10:45

we should be bathing. Ugh,

10:47

ugh. You really can work up a sweat in

10:50

the booth, giving life-changing advice, but this

10:52

community segment's really all about diversifying the advice

10:54

I give to people, you know? We can't

10:56

just have my voice. There's other

10:58

voices in the room, so I appreciate y'all coming down.

11:01

Oh my God, of course, of course, of course, of

11:03

course, of course, of course, of

11:05

course. Oh, are you okay? No.

11:08

No. And

11:10

maybe let's not touch Delilah. Oh,

11:13

sorry, sorry. They're all holding her

11:15

hand. Yeah, like her forearm and

11:17

her shoulder. Oh, sorry, sorry.

11:20

We'll just file in here and take our seat. Delilah,

11:22

there's your seat. Of course, on the left-hand

11:24

side of the table, everybody else in the

11:27

right-hand side here, we have you set up

11:29

in a row. Whoa,

11:31

you can spin 380 in these. They're

11:34

just spinning and making themselves dizzy and sick.

11:38

You might wanna cool off on the spinning

11:40

before the advice. That's a lesson I've

11:42

had to learn the hard way. I've

11:45

thrown up on the air before. Oh, you

11:47

have? What? I heard that

11:49

episode. It was amazing. You won a

11:51

bunch of awards for journalism for that

11:53

one, right? Absolutely, absolutely, because I was

11:56

giving opinions on a war. Wow.

12:00

Not a war. Not a war. Yeah.

12:02

Too many of those. I

12:05

can't even keep track which war it was, but I was giving

12:07

opinions on a war and I barfed right into the mic and

12:09

well, we won a Peabody, so. Wow.

12:13

That's always the aim every time we

12:15

start recording. And so

12:17

now I'm in my little side booth

12:19

over here, working the technical side. I'm

12:22

gonna give everyone a countdown. I'll

12:25

do the numbers five and four. And

12:27

then for three and two and one,

12:29

I'm just gonna use my fingers and

12:31

then we will be live. Incredible. Perfect,

12:33

perfect. Okay. Yeah. So Delilah,

12:36

you'll take it away right after as

12:38

you do. Great. Here

12:40

we go. And five. Five.

12:43

Four. Oh sweetie, you don't need to

12:45

count. Three. Oh, okay. Two. Two.

12:48

You guys won. Okay, hold on. One.

12:51

You guys don't. Action. No, okay, I'm

12:53

not, we're not recording yet. You don't count. Nobody

12:56

can do the silent. I love that. I love

12:58

that. It's a common mistake. My early, my first

13:00

two years I was counting down. Okay.

13:03

On the radio. And

13:05

five. Four. Three.

13:10

Two. One. Dice.

13:14

Wait, wait, wait, good chose. Why'd you say dice? I

13:16

don't know. We are live.

13:18

And live. We are live, guys.

13:21

Sing. Hey

13:24

there listeners, it's hey there Delilah. And

13:28

we're here live trying to

13:30

get all your voice snails. And we're having

13:32

a good time. And we hope to make

13:34

you have a good time too. So

13:37

Ichabod, who do we have on

13:39

the horn? Because we have our community of

13:41

advice experts here today. Hi,

13:43

I'm Chip. Okay. So

13:48

nobody else introducing themselves. Come on, I'm hot. I guess

13:50

now I feel like an idiot. Chalice

13:52

has just gotten the craziest wave

13:54

of stage fright and she's like

13:57

looks blue. She, her arms

13:59

are shaking. She's. So scared. Let me tell

14:01

you guys, our community advice experts are

14:03

a little nervous, but I've been there.

14:06

The first five years I was on this show, I

14:09

was breaking out in hives, screaming,

14:11

pitching a little fit. Anytime I

14:13

got a little nervous, you might remember those episodes.

14:15

They want a few pea bodies for

14:18

journalism. Hey

14:20

there Delilah, it's me, a beef. Just,

14:23

you know, what was the things that helped

14:25

you overcome those, that hardship?

14:29

Get back into the game. I mean,

14:31

you're an elite top radio

14:34

of your field. Yeah, I'm

14:36

in the elite top radio of my field. Every

14:38

time before I record, I

14:41

kind of have my own little ritual. So

14:44

I go for what's called a little

14:46

aggro run, where I kind of

14:48

get all the juice out, so that I have

14:50

nothing left to scream for, you know what I

14:52

mean? I get it all

14:54

out, so I do a 5K, we're

14:57

coming into the office. I'm

14:59

also on a few little setties,

15:01

little sedatives. Kind of

15:04

take down the mood a little bit more, because

15:06

things can get anxiety inducing on this show. Someone

15:08

calls in with a war, I

15:11

have to respond to that. Yeah,

15:13

you're a journalist. I'm a journalist in

15:15

a way. Depending on what

15:17

they call in for, I have to

15:19

respond, there's no call I won't take,

15:21

you know that. God, so many hats

15:23

you wear Delilah. Hey, I'm Jennifer, and

15:25

I think I'm here because I'm a

15:28

chef. No, Jennifer,

15:30

Jennifer, you're running for mayor. You're

15:33

running for mayor, and we're the

15:35

campaign team. Incredible.

15:38

You know, it's pretty common for us to mix

15:40

politics and pleasure here at Hey There Delilah. So

15:43

let me ask you, what's going on with this

15:45

campaign? I don't know. Well.

15:50

Yeah, take it away, Granny. This is our

15:52

campaign granny. This is our campaign granny. It's

15:54

not always, it's sort of a

15:56

flexible title that we're sort of working on

15:58

where it's workshopping. It fits to me

16:01

from what I'm seeing, it seems apt.

16:04

Thank you. Thank you? Did you

16:06

mean to say thank you there too? No, I didn't. I

16:09

didn't, I didn't. So a couple

16:12

things. One, one time I

16:14

meant to call 911 and I called the show

16:16

and you walked me through giving someone the Heimlich.

16:18

Do you remember me? That

16:20

happens like literally so many times. Nevermind.

16:23

Do you remember the food item? If you remember

16:25

the food item, I might be able to help.

16:28

It was a full Christmas goose. And

16:30

it was beef. Yeah, it was beef.

16:32

It just happened a few times, but I'm glad

16:34

I watched it. You're okay, beef. You didn't suffer

16:37

damage. No, no, no, I just

16:39

honked it out like you. The goose was still

16:41

alive. And also beef did not

16:43

learn from that mistake at all. Shoo.

16:46

Second of all, as the campaign granny,

16:48

I can walk you through it. We

16:51

recently got badges from all sorts of

16:53

the niche groups around Frasier, getting their

16:55

endorsement. Rats

16:57

are back and Jennifer is promising that

16:59

sex is back on the menu, boys,

17:01

if she is voted to be mayor.

17:04

We're sick and tired of all these

17:06

rules and we bet you are too.

17:08

So vote this little rat to be

17:10

mayor. What do you got to lose?

17:13

Everything. Now,

17:17

I don't typically offer political

17:19

endorsements on this show. I more

17:21

give takes on wars and things

17:23

like that. What

17:27

would you say? Yeah, yeah. What would you

17:29

say your platform is, Jennifer?

17:33

Yes. So what she's trying

17:35

to say is she's gonna try to undo

17:37

some of these rules and make it fun

17:39

to live in Frasier again. Before

17:41

we could sink, we could gamble, we

17:44

could fuck. And now we can't do

17:46

that unless we're breaking the

17:48

rules. We might have to bleep that. Yeah, and

17:50

again, I can't really offer endorsements unless

17:52

you're thinking of, waging a war of some sort.

17:54

But as long as we're keeping in platform. Do

18:00

you pro war or against

18:02

the war? Well, what is

18:04

the war about? Good question.

18:07

Maybe let's take one of those voicenails.

18:09

Red flag, red flag, red flag, red

18:11

flag, red flag. And more with that,

18:13

right after our first voicenail. Delilah, if

18:16

it's okay with you, we will have

18:18

our first voicenail heard out loud. That's

18:20

incredible, sweetheart, thank you. And y'all see

18:22

a snail get placed on the table

18:25

in front of you, and it

18:27

kinda just, it scoots right along,

18:29

and this snail is distinctive. It's just about

18:32

the size of a regular snail, but it

18:34

has a gold luminescent shell

18:36

to it. And

18:39

its eyes are looking in two different directions,

18:42

and its mouth opens, and

18:44

it is immediately apparent that this

18:46

snail has an inherent ability to

18:49

mimic things that it's heard. So

18:52

a voice has put a message

18:54

into this snail, and the snail, upon opening

18:56

its mouth, will now deliver

18:59

the message. Hey

19:01

there Delilah, we host dinner parties

19:03

in our home with dear friends.

19:05

They always bring their little dog, but

19:08

never ask if it's okay with us.

19:11

When they're finished eating, the husband picks the

19:13

dog up onto his lap at the table.

19:16

I think it's unbelievably rude to have a

19:18

dog at the dinner table, am I wrong?

19:21

My husband and I are appalled, and don't know

19:23

how to approach them about it without ruining our

19:25

friendship. We are flabbergasted, though they

19:28

think this is right. What

19:30

do you suggest we do? This is

19:32

from, sincerely, We Don't Do Doggy.

19:36

Hey there Delilah, it's Delilah. Thank

19:38

you so much for calling, We

19:40

Don't Do Doggy. This

19:43

is a tough pickle. Honesty

19:45

is usually always the best policy, so

19:48

I would say confront your friend and confront him

19:50

hard. You're gonna wanna pick

19:52

a battle here, and if

19:54

you lose the friendship over it, to

19:58

begin with. What are you guys? I

20:01

think you just lose the dog. You

20:03

go to your friend's house, you open the back

20:05

door, dog gets loose, I think you're good to

20:07

go. Am I wrong here? No, that's definitely an

20:09

option. And in terms of losing the dog, if

20:11

you wanna go more of that subtle route, you

20:14

can do it in a few ways. You can dig

20:16

a hole in your backyard for the dog to fall

20:18

into and like kind of mid-dinner, you can

20:20

excuse yourself to go to the bathroom. That is way more subtle.

20:22

You're right. Go to the bathroom and

20:25

you can fill the hole and then

20:27

the dog will live in the hole and then they won't be at

20:29

the party. As someone that

20:31

has lived in a hole for quite some time,

20:33

it's nice to be invited to dinner from time

20:35

to time. Dogs are people

20:37

if you think about it hard enough. You

20:40

think the dog should go to dinner or

20:42

beef? Isn't that not what we were saying?

20:44

I'm saying leave the dog out of here. I'm

20:47

saying you lose the dog, no dogs at dinner.

20:49

I'm on this person's side. Maybe

20:52

beef and the dog can all go have

20:54

dinner together and the fancy people

20:56

can go have dinner and they

20:58

can go have this dinner party. Kind of almost like

21:00

a kids table and an adult table. Yeah, except it's

21:02

a kids hole. Well, we try not to, we have

21:04

to bleep out. You can't say kids hole on Hey

21:06

There's a Lila. So

21:08

we're gonna have to bleep that section out. Really? That's a huge part

21:10

of our campaign. Oh God. So

21:13

the way that this will work is after

21:16

y'all give advice every single time, I'm

21:18

gonna have one of you do

21:20

a wisdom check. Incredible. And

21:23

then if it beats

21:26

a 15, that's gonna go over really,

21:29

really well with the people of Frasier

21:32

and make them believe that Jennifer and

21:34

her team have the

21:37

right idea of how to solve problems. Anything

21:39

below that, it's gonna count against you.

21:42

You really wanna go, just have the majority

21:45

go in your favor to come out of

21:47

this experience with some momentum

21:49

and a positive impact for the campaign.

21:51

Incredible. Chip, why don't you give me

21:53

a wisdom check now to

21:55

see how this all went over.

21:58

Okay, that gotta be a 15. Gotta

22:00

beat a 15. Oh god. Oh god. Oh,

22:04

an eight. Okay, that does not do

22:06

it. I don't think that's gonna resonate. Telling them

22:09

to- The kids' hole? Do you? Wow!

22:12

How? Yeah,

22:15

that tracks. And

22:18

I think that's enough for that voice snail.

22:20

We're gonna move right along, if

22:23

that's okay with you, Delilah, to the next one.

22:25

Absolutely, sweetheart. Places

22:27

another snail onto the table and

22:29

removes the first one. And the

22:32

room is filled with another voice. Hey

22:34

there, Delilah. I

22:36

have three grandchildren who address me

22:39

as Mr. and

22:41

not as Grandpa. Although

22:43

it is true that I

22:45

was not in their lives growing up,

22:48

I was not a bad

22:50

or cruel influence. A

22:53

few years ago, I sent a

22:55

winter-tide gift, a large sack

22:58

of gold, to one of

23:00

these grandchildren and I quickly

23:03

received a nice thank you

23:05

card. But it was addressed, Dear

23:08

Mr. Demaris, I

23:10

was so angry that I never sent another

23:12

gift and haven't heard from them since. I'm

23:15

87 years old. How do

23:17

I become Grandpa before it is

23:19

too late? Sincerely, wannabe

23:22

Grandpa. Hey there,

23:24

Delilah. It's Delilah here at Cape Hute.

23:26

Thank you so much for calling wannabe

23:28

Grandpa. This is

23:30

a pickle, this is a pickle. To earn

23:32

someone's respect usually, you know,

23:36

in a family sometimes it just comes, which

23:38

would be nice, right? We'd all like to

23:40

respect for my families and our sisters maybe.

23:43

But what

23:45

you might need to do is find ways

23:47

to get the respect. So take

23:50

on a big position, I don't know, become

23:52

a military general. It's close

23:54

to war, how it was. She's

23:56

really pro-war. I won't say my stance on

23:59

war yet. But create a church

24:01

of some sort. Do something where you

24:03

become a giant position of power. And

24:06

if you're taller, the children will be

24:08

more afraid of you as well. And

24:11

maybe that could lead to some sort of respect. But let's go

24:13

to our community experts. What do you guys think? Counterpoint,

24:15

Delilah, if I may. Oh, whoa.

24:18

I would say, sir, count your

24:20

blessings that no one's calling you

24:22

grandpa and aging you when it's

24:24

not necessary to always age you.

24:27

Does your daughter think that? I

24:29

don't have a daughter. I am much too

24:31

young to even have a daughter. Oh, I

24:33

shouldn't assume women have daughters. It's bad. No

24:36

one is making eye contact with me or none of

24:38

my friends are looking at me in the eye. I'm

24:41

just saying, when you're young and you're

24:43

sprightly, it's nice. It's nice when

24:46

no one's calling you grandpa, grandma, or pointing out

24:48

your age in any way. Cause you're very young.

24:50

You still have lots of time to do things.

24:52

Jallis is opening a full bottle of wine, as

24:54

you say. Yeah. Also,

24:57

if you continue to be away

24:59

from your grandkids, you can keep all those sacks

25:01

of gold to yourself. I mean, doesn't that sound

25:03

nice? I'd rather be a mister with a bunch

25:06

of sacks of gold than a

25:08

grandpa with some empty pockets. Beef?

25:12

I say retaliate. Retaliate,

25:14

retaliate, retaliate. Call them, mister. Yeah, call

25:16

them or have them come to your

25:18

house, wear a mask that's f***ed

25:21

up looking until midnight. And then when you

25:23

pass away and they take the mask off,

25:25

that's what they look like. That's

25:28

what they look like. Yeah, I didn't fall that

25:30

either. Retaliate, retaliate,

25:32

retaliate. Beef, why don't you

25:34

give me a wisdom check

25:36

to see how this one went.

25:40

Aliate. Oh,

25:42

15. Oh, 15. Oh, 15. Meets

25:46

it, pizza. Yeah,

25:48

come on. Meets it, pizza, pizza. Pizza,

25:51

pizza, pizza. Ah! Yeah,

25:53

pizza, pizza. Wait,

25:56

everyone do their pizza, pizza. Pizza, pizza, pizza,

25:58

pizza. Oh, did you not want them? all

26:00

at the same time so they're illegible. And

26:03

then we'll put it in a poll. Okay. All

26:08

right, excellent. And I'm going to take that

26:11

slug. Jesus, no, it's not a slug, it's

26:13

a snail. The snail off

26:15

the table. I thought you had perfect vision.

26:18

I can't wait, I. He

26:21

has perfect vision, but shell, he can't

26:24

see shell. Yes. At

26:28

the beach, he's a mess. He's

26:31

tripping all over the place. That might be my favorite line

26:34

of the season. At the beach, he's

26:36

a mess. Okay, unfortunately

26:38

I need that on a pillow. I'm so sorry, this

26:40

is Aaron talking and someone send me a pillow that

26:42

says that. This is Elizabeth talking, I'm going to need

26:44

that as well. You know how you're

26:47

always taking your assistant to the beach? Well, not this

26:49

assistant. Yeah, not this one.

26:51

Please never again, man. Please never

26:53

again. We

26:57

are in the age of subscriptions. And

27:00

sometimes I like to try to work

27:03

the system a little bit in a way

27:05

that's fair to everybody, which is a free

27:07

trial. And then I go, okay, at

27:10

the end of this free trial, I'm going to put it on my calendar.

27:12

And if I like it, I keep with it.

27:14

If I don't, it's out of here. But sometimes

27:17

I just straight up forget and then the subscriptions

27:19

pile up and I keep paying

27:21

for them when I don't even remember that

27:23

I have them. I'm sure this is very

27:25

common. Please tell me it's common. Which begs

27:27

the question, how much do you think you're

27:29

paying in subscriptions every month? The answer is

27:31

probably more than you think. Over 74% of

27:34

people have subscriptions they've forgotten about. But that is

27:36

a worry of the past with Rocket Money, which

27:39

is a personal finance app that finds and

27:41

cancels your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending and

27:43

helps lower your bills so that you can

27:45

grow your savings. Rocket Money will even try

27:48

to negotiate to lower your bills for you

27:50

by up to 20%. All

27:53

you have to do is submit a picture

27:55

of your bill and Rocket Money takes care

27:57

of the rest. They'll deal with customer service

27:59

for you. What a dream. Rocket

28:01

28:47

know who gets you? If people

28:49

send you the same generic conversation

28:51

starters, they message everyone else, conversations

that actually help you get to

28:55

know each other. Imagine that. Get

29:05

then this new snail eyes

29:07

looking in different directions, mouth opens and a new

29:09

voice fills the room. Hey

29:12

there, Delilah. Any suggestions

29:14

on how to motivate a husband?

29:17

We've been happily married for 35 years. Now

29:20

he does nothing. Now he

29:23

does nothing but read. Eat

29:26

and sleep. I'm not

29:28

exaggerating. He started reading about 15 years ago

29:30

when our boys were teenagers with

29:32

an active parent and a modestly successful

29:35

merchant of rare potions. But

29:37

then he discovered fan fiction, free stories

29:39

hidden in the library, written by unpublished

29:42

authors. And he now reads 16 to

29:45

18 hours a day on weekends,

29:47

plus 10 hours each day during the week.

29:50

What do I do? Also, he's a

29:52

worm. Sincerely, wife to

29:54

a bookworm. Hey

29:56

there, Delilah. This is Delilah from K-PEW.

29:59

Thank you. so much for calling. I

30:02

may have lost a sister to reading. Oh,

30:05

Delilah, no. No. RIP. Well,

30:08

she's alive. She's just, she's

30:12

always reading. Doesn't have time

30:14

for anybody anymore, you know? God, it makes me

30:16

mad thinking about it. Ha ha ha ha.

30:19

Anyway, chill out. Chill out, chill

30:21

out. Hey, chill out. Chill

30:23

out, girl, chill out. Uh-oh. Oh.

30:26

Chill out, girl, chill out. So

30:28

I have to... Oh, God. It's

30:31

self-soothing. It's self-soothing. It's self-soothing. We have to

30:33

self-soothe. We go on an agro-run and we

30:35

take our little settees in the

30:37

morning. So I understand what it's like

30:39

to lose a loved one to reading. You

30:41

can try all you want. You can dump the

30:44

books down the sink. You can

30:46

take them to meetings. You can

30:49

try to scald their eyeballs while they're sleeping.

30:52

It seems like it's an unstoppable force once they

30:54

want to read. And I

30:56

just say cut it off now. Cut

30:58

it off now. You may have lost him

31:00

for good and you don't need to hurt

31:03

yourself in the process.

31:06

What do we think, community? I

31:08

have some advice. I have some

31:10

advice for the wife of a doerm. What's

31:13

your advice for the wife of the doerm? If

31:15

you want your husband to pay attention

31:17

to you, write a fucking book. Write

31:21

a book about yourself and your

31:23

love. Write your love story. Chill

31:25

out, girl. Chill out, girl. What?

31:27

Beef, what are you even saying? I can barely hear

31:29

you. Just say, chill out, girl. Chill out, girl. What?

31:32

You've got to chill out, girl. You've got to

31:34

chill out, girl. If you want him to even

31:36

remember, then you should write the

31:39

story of your love and then he'll read

31:41

that and then he'll, is that one familiar?

31:43

And then he'll come back. Tails

31:47

is opening another body point. I

31:49

just will say in response to that as

31:51

a significant other, sometimes people

31:54

don't have time to read people's manuscripts

31:56

because they're long and they don't really

31:58

have a great plot. because they're

32:00

not interested in reading a

32:03

manuscript. It's so good, Chip. Crack it

32:05

open, give it a shot. I am

32:07

begging you. But I feel like

32:09

for, you know, if this wife were to write

32:11

a book, she should let him after

32:14

10 pages, if he's not interested, he should be allowed

32:16

to put the book down. It's exposition,

32:18

it's not even the plot yet. I'm

32:20

setting up the world, world building. Okay,

32:23

I think we're gonna need to move on here. Just

32:27

call it last word of advice. Your reading

32:29

is the gateway drug to knowledge, so... Just,

32:32

you have to distance yourself from this. She

32:34

might, she might... Sorry, I mean, your husband.

32:37

Yeah, that's a pro-war thing to say. Villainizing

32:39

knowledge like that, my God. We don't

32:41

know my stance on war yet. So

32:46

just protect yourself, Kale. Wow.

32:48

I mean, can I just say, Delilah, it's just amazing

32:50

to watch you work. It's

32:54

mind-blowing how you can really untangle

32:57

these necklaces of dire

32:59

need. Thank you, Beef, that's really

33:02

kind. Nobody really notices my work

33:05

ethic around here. I mean, besides all the benefits

33:07

and the promotions and things I get, but nobody

33:10

says, you know, they're so intimidated

33:13

by the Delilah image.

33:16

Aura. Aura, that they, I don't

33:18

know, sometimes they get nervous to talk to me. I

33:21

mean, I would love to get a drink if we can... Well,

33:23

Beef, we're on the air, so this is a heads up. All

33:27

right, and for this one, Chalice,

33:29

why don't you give me a

33:31

wisdom check here? Oh!

33:36

It's not so bad advice after

33:38

all. It's not so bad advice

33:40

after all. It's not

33:42

so bad advice after all, everybody. We've

33:45

got two that really resonate with people in one, not

33:47

so much as far as your response is just to...

33:49

I don't get it. I

33:52

have to say, guys, your advice

33:54

has been pretty consistent. I feel

33:56

like I could give you

33:59

guys an endorsement. if

34:01

your advice goes well, I mean, but if

34:03

you have any snags, I don't know if

34:05

I'd feel comfortable in parsing. Well, from heads

34:07

forth, we shall have no snags. Delilah,

34:09

we're going to do a few

34:11

more. So here's a new snail,

34:15

and he's opening his mouth, okay, great. Hey

34:18

there, Delilah. I am a

34:20

dwarf. I'm 75 years old,

34:23

happily married for 45 years. We

34:26

are in good health. We

34:28

have two kids who are both

34:30

lovely, but my problem

34:33

is I have bad dreams. Sometimes

34:36

they even border on nightmares,

34:38

and I don't understand why. If

34:41

I have 100 dreams, 99 are bad. Two

34:44

nights ago, I woke up screaming from one of

34:46

them. Ah! I

34:48

have no stress. We are financially

34:50

secure, and life is good. I've

34:53

spoken to two professionals about this, and there

34:55

are no answers to my problem. Have

34:57

you heard of this, and have you any advice? Sincerely,

35:01

Sleepless in the Adel by the Sea.

35:05

Hey there, Delilah. Thank you so much for the Delilah from

35:07

Cape Ew. Thank you so much for

35:09

calling Sleepless in the... It's confusing every time. It's

35:11

getting wrong. And what's wrong is it's so

35:13

confusing that she calls them Delilah. Thank

35:17

you for calling Sleepless in whatever. That

35:19

is... She doesn't even know what their name is.

35:21

She says her name. The pills, the

35:23

sedatives are really kicking in right now. Do, do,

35:26

do, do, do. That's quite a big girl. Here's

35:30

my thought. You say you have

35:32

an incredible life. You're

35:34

very happily married, and you have a good family life,

35:37

a good happy relationships

35:39

with friends, and you feel good

35:41

all the time. Have you considered... You're having

35:43

nightmares because you're bragging. You're

35:46

bragging quite a lot. Because

35:48

some of us don't have that. And

35:51

maybe you're unintentionally making the people around you

35:54

feel quite bad. And

35:57

perhaps the nightmares... Calm down, girl. Chill

36:00

out, chill out, chill out, chill out. Chill out, chill out, chill

36:02

out, chill out, chill out. You gotta chill girl, chill girl,

36:04

chill girl. You gotta chill?

36:07

You gotta, you gotta, gotta, gotta, too girl. But

36:12

the advice stands, perhaps the nightmares are

36:14

kind of karmic punishment for

36:16

sort of bragging about how well adjusted you

36:18

are. It's not

36:20

perfect science, but it could be true. So

36:23

take a poll of all the people around you, and

36:25

if they're sort of jealous of how

36:27

nice you are, take a poll and see if maybe

36:29

that's what's leading to all your hellish

36:32

nightmares. Community

36:34

advice experts, what do you think? I'm

36:37

pointing out something that's sort of tangential

36:39

here. On

36:41

the menu for the lunch we're eating

36:43

after this is like a ton of

36:45

escargot, and I'm wondering, are those the

36:47

same snails that are the voice snails?

36:49

Oh, and they're going straight to the

36:51

burner. Yeah, are these the snails that

36:53

we eat in like an hour? Well,

36:57

the snails only have one message, so it

36:59

would be sort of silly to keep them.

37:01

I don't wanna give advice on

37:03

the same messages. We're kind of

37:05

a no-waste facility. We eat all

37:08

the cups and the plates and stuff. We eat, we

37:10

don't throw any of that so hard. I

37:12

did have a plate that was delicious in

37:15

the waiting room, yeah. Good, good, good, good,

37:17

good, good, good, good. So yeah,

37:19

those snails will be lunch, unless

37:22

you'd prefer plates or something. Okay, it looks like

37:24

it's news to this snail. This snail

37:26

looked like he thought he was going home. Sorry.

37:32

I think maybe just sleep less. And

37:35

that's all we have time for for that one. Chip,

37:38

you wanna roll a wisdom check for that? On

37:40

sleep less. Yeah. Just

37:42

sleep less. You should kind of be in

37:45

a waking nightmare, not a sleeping nightmare. Oh,

37:47

19! Hey! Oh,

37:50

baby! Perfect advice. Yaboo!

37:55

So it's three to one, as

37:57

far as ones that have resonated and ones that haven't.

37:59

So, yeah. You're very close to

38:01

an Endorci. Oh,

38:03

that would be huge. And

38:06

now, of course, is the time

38:08

in the show Delilah, where we

38:10

get to dip into some of

38:12

the voice snails that we haven't

38:14

gotten to get into from the

38:17

past. So our archives. Our

38:19

archives. Our archives, beautiful.

38:22

Very exciting. Here we go.

38:24

The snail is placed onto the table.

38:27

It scoots forward. You're dead if you

38:29

speak. Yeah. You're

38:32

dead if you speak. You're lunch if you speak. It

38:35

starts shaking. I'd hold on to it.

38:39

And a voice fills the room,

38:41

and it is a familiar voice.

38:45

It's actually the voice of

38:47

Chip. Oh,

38:50

no. Hey there, Delilah. I've

38:54

been having trouble with a

38:56

couple of my housemates lately.

39:00

I'm starting to get a waft of

39:02

a smell that comes from each of

39:04

their rooms independently that is starting to,

39:06

I guess the best thing to say

39:08

is burn my nose hairs. I'm

39:11

curious if you have what you've

39:13

done to taking care of smelly

39:15

roommates. Maybe those that take a

39:17

magazine based on a sandwich and do dirty things

39:19

with it or something like that. Love.

39:23

Oh, god, don't say love you. Thank you

39:25

so much for listening. How

39:28

do I stop this thing? How do I stop it?

39:30

Then you got to say like your

39:32

pseudonym or whatever. Oh, OK. OK. Chip,

39:36

did you say something? No, Challah. Sorry.

39:38

One sec. Hold on. From

39:42

sexy guy. Ow, my

39:45

ass. The snail closes

39:47

its mouth. Hey there,

39:49

Delilah. It's Delilah from KP talking

39:51

to Chip and your archives. No,

39:53

that wasn't. What do you mean? I'm

39:56

Chip. It sounded just like you. I didn't even need

39:58

the pseudonym. I didn't need the pseudonym. and it sounded

40:00

just like you. I don't think so. You're

40:02

having a problem with smelly roommates or is this a

40:05

problem that's since passed? Tell

40:07

us and be for looking at it. Unblinking,

40:10

unblinking. Hypothetically,

40:13

let's say that it's still happening.

40:15

Well, there's a couple of things you can do if you have

40:17

smelly housemates. So one, you

40:20

can, you know, this would be

40:22

taking it upon yourself, but you make a nice

40:24

little batch of cinnamon rolls and you place

40:26

it in their rooms every morning, hide it, hide

40:28

it so that they don't... Find it, but then their rooms kind

40:31

of smell like cinnamon rolls and it's kind of nice that there's

40:33

a smell coming. There's no chance Beef Can't

40:35

doesn't find these cinnamon rolls. Yeah, fine.

40:37

I'll find that. That

40:40

is his one skill set. Hey,

40:42

they're Delilah. What

40:44

if your roommate,

40:46

one of them, is he's

40:50

commandeering the main space and

40:53

so you have to kind of

40:56

live in your room because he

40:58

said he's working on a project

41:00

for his manuscript. You're writing

41:03

a what? Well,

41:05

you know, in case it comes up, it'd be nice

41:08

to have a manuscript like a

41:10

maybe top and different manuscript. Wow.

41:13

I can't in good

41:15

my religion faith kind

41:18

of give advice on writing a

41:20

book. So you're faithful. I'm

41:22

a faithful. I'm not a traitor. I'm

41:25

a faithful. OK,

41:27

I guess my big advice to the

41:30

sexy guy, whatever his name was, is

41:32

whoever think did stink did it. And

41:35

if you're smelling a bad smell, I think

41:38

it was probably you. So my big advice

41:40

is take a bath and see if things

41:42

improve. Yeah, dude, I agree

41:44

with Challis, dude. It's probably

41:46

you. Let's move on. Take a

41:48

bath. You stinky guy. Challis,

41:51

why don't you give a wisdom

41:53

roll here? Oh, God. Oh,

41:55

so we are at

41:57

three and. It's

42:00

getting close now. So that means

42:02

Chip did not take this advice

42:05

at all. Yeah,

42:07

yeah. I don't approve

42:09

of your advice. You do not like the advice

42:11

that, by the way, you tagged. You like ended

42:14

with the giving advice. Chip

42:16

and Chalice are doing that look that couples do,

42:18

where they're like, we're going to fight about this

42:20

later in the

42:22

privacy of our own home. I'm

42:25

adding this to my manuscript. I'm

42:27

adding it to my manuscript. Speaking of stink, you guys

42:29

kind of stunk that piece of advice up. I don't

42:31

know. We're kind of neck and neck in terms of

42:33

bad versus good advice. Oh, God. This

42:36

endorsement of Jennifer is sort of wavering here.

42:39

Guys, get it together, or I'm never going to

42:41

be chef. Oh, God. Can

42:43

we get another snail out here? We need to

42:45

move on, please. Of course, of course. Right here,

42:48

and here's a snail, and it's opening its mouth.

42:51

And a familiar voice fills

42:53

the room. Beef. What

42:56

does this voicemail? Sound like? Where

43:01

am I? Where

43:11

am I? I

43:13

don't feel good. I think I

43:16

ate too much. Oh,

43:21

God, I ate too much of so full. That

43:23

is so full. Chalice, Chip,

43:25

so full. Beef, did you

43:27

say something? No,

43:30

come here. No, come in here. I'm coming

43:32

in. No, don't come in. Don't come

43:34

in. I'm so full. I'm so

43:37

full. Oh, hello?

43:44

Hello? Uh-oh. Hello?

43:48

Oh, no. Hey,

43:50

I'm full. I'm going

43:52

for something on the other end. Sorry.

43:57

Uh, love you? I mean, why'd I

43:59

say that? Thank you, bye. And

44:01

the snail closes its mouth. Well,

44:03

no pseudonym there, but B if that sounded like

44:05

you. Now,

44:08

is this a problem that is ongoing? Are you

44:10

still full or did that end up shorting itself

44:13

out sort of later the day? That

44:15

is sort of like a butt dial. Yeah,

44:19

I think I'm embarrassed. I'm

44:22

embarrassed. No, no. That

44:25

was a butt dial. I had no idea. You don't need

44:27

to be embarrassed. Listen,

44:30

there are very few things people should be embarrassed

44:32

about. There are some, but that's not one

44:34

of them. You know, having

44:36

mental health or stomach health issues, nothing

44:38

to be embarrassed about. Yeah,

44:41

no stomach health issues, just

44:43

very full. Yeah, wasn't that the day the

44:45

vending machine broke and you decided

44:47

to take advantage? I said, let's do it

44:49

all. Well, you know,

44:51

it's interesting that you bring that up because there

44:53

are procedures that can be done. You

44:56

can have more mouths inserted so that you

44:58

have more places to put the food. Hey,

45:01

Delilah. Hey, Delilah. Wheat.

45:04

Sorry, we've been trying to keep that

45:06

information away from beef. We

45:09

do. Beef is the last

45:11

person that needs to know that you could put more

45:13

mouths all over your body. Beef looks like chalice.

45:15

Wait, you can do that? No, beef, it's

45:17

a joke. It's very common in Frasier. One

45:19

of the best talk show hosts here that

45:22

isn't me actually has three mouths. So they

45:24

can actually host three shows at once. Well,

45:27

you know how people get like too much

45:29

plastic surgery and you're like wondering what happened?

45:31

Beef will be mostly mouth if you continue

45:33

to speak. Well, let me tell you, this

45:35

Niles guy is hot as hell and

45:38

he has got three mouths and he's looking good.

45:41

So think about it. I will.

45:44

I got some advice for beef, I guess.

45:47

Yeah, chalice, beef turns 380. Yeah,

45:50

chalice, what is it? Well, you're you're spending

45:52

too much. That's a

45:54

little too much. Done. You were facing

45:56

me and now you're sort of just a skew. A skew? A

45:59

little bit. a little bit of stew. Yeah. So

46:03

my advice is if you're sick for meeting

46:05

all the vending machine food in one go,

46:07

let your friends in the room so they

46:09

can help you. And share it. Both,

46:12

either. Let your friends in to

46:14

either share the food or to help you pick up the

46:16

pieces when you've eaten all of the food. Well, and I'll

46:18

say this be a good thing. Save an Oreo for a

46:20

guy. If you're going to save an Oreo for

46:22

a guy, make sure the guy is worth it. Make sure

46:25

the guy or girl is freaking worth it. Or a person

46:27

is freaking worth it. Because you don't want to be giving

46:29

Oreos to some freaking. Uh-oh.

46:31

Something happened to Zoila. Witch.

46:34

Yeah. Uh-oh. A pervert witch.

46:37

Whoa, there's a story there talking about

46:40

a pervert witch. Who takes your Oreo

46:42

and then leaves to go read

46:44

on the weekend. And she

46:47

has a cute husband. And

46:50

she doesn't have sister time anymore. You

46:53

got to chill out. Oh, it's a sister again.

46:55

You got to chill out. My

46:58

advice. Delilah, you got to chill out. You

47:02

got any more of those snails? What

47:05

chalice roll? Oh, yeah, we got to roll. Yeah,

47:08

chalice, can you roll for wisdom? 13

47:10

plus 2. Ooh. Beef

47:15

looks at chalice and he goes, you're right. You're

47:18

barely right. Yeah, yeah,

47:20

yeah. You just became right. Yeah,

47:23

you're barely right, chalice. You're

47:25

looking sort of right next to me, beef.

47:27

Look me and the eye. I just

47:29

wanted one Oreo. Another

47:32

snail is placed onto

47:34

the table. And

47:37

you actually hear a familiar voice.

47:39

And it sounds like everyone give me

47:42

a perception check real quick. 7,

47:44

10, 14,

47:46

6. So no one really

47:49

recognizes this voice right off the bat.

47:52

Hello, I'm Stephanie

47:55

Boone. And I've

47:57

been having a little bit of a pickle.

48:00

I feel like everybody thinks my brother

48:03

is a really cool hotshot, but

48:06

I would like to make it

48:08

known he's actually a huge arsehole.

48:11

And I want to kind of

48:13

galvanize the public around a bad

48:15

sibling. How would I

48:17

best do that? And could I

48:19

use the airwaves right now to

48:21

gauge interest in galvanizing behind a

48:23

bad sibling and getting them voted

48:25

out of Frasier, maybe

48:28

sent into the ocean or into a

48:30

kid hole? Now,

48:33

if I could just publicize that need and

48:35

if you want to toss in some advice,

48:38

that would be great. Sincerely,

48:42

Daphne Moon. And

48:44

this now closes its mouth. Hmm.

48:47

Hey there, Delilah, this is Delilah, this is

48:49

Delilah. See, now that was the only time

48:51

that Hey there, Delilah might actually be appropriate.

48:54

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, this is a kip-kip-kip-hoot. Wow,

48:57

what an interesting conundrum. It's

48:59

a pretty, it's among the toughest problems one

49:01

can have is to have a bad sibling

49:04

that people like that you think everybody should

49:06

know actually stinks. For example,

49:08

if your sibling was named Sam

49:10

and you wanted to say they stunk

49:13

to their whole friend group so that

49:15

the whole friend group knows and doesn't

49:17

keep saying good things about her, I

49:20

would find that hard to do unless I had a

49:22

radio show. So I

49:24

can really sympathize with that. Now I say,

49:26

I don't know, you shouldn't be allowed to

49:28

be bad. Amen. They shouldn't be punished.

49:30

Well, you know, but you know, if

49:32

I may, Delilah, as siblings,

49:35

you know, you actually have

49:37

a teammate if you really kind of

49:39

flip the perspective on here, not an

49:41

enemy, someone that

49:44

could work with you. And,

49:46

you know, it's someone that has a shared experience

49:48

with you, the only one, because they're the only

49:50

one that has the same mom and dad as

49:52

you. Even if they

49:54

have more of a

49:57

long neck and nicer

49:59

little body, bird-like feathers and sort

50:01

of a ruse your little

50:04

bird-like rump. Yeah, I

50:06

mean, if it's your brother. I

50:08

will say I'm pretty anti-sibling as somebody that

50:10

doesn't, famously doesn't get along with his siblings.

50:13

What I've noticed in a way that I was

50:15

alienated was they came up with a nickname for

50:17

me that I didn't care for at the time.

50:20

And I think maybe this caller could do

50:22

something very similar. Hold on, writing this

50:24

down. Yeah, she's, she's

50:27

taking both her hands, putting a- Both

50:29

her little wings. Yeah, both her wings. She's

50:31

putting it together and holding it. Penn

50:34

is in the middle of her wings and she's-

50:36

I think the pills are really hitting because this

50:38

looks kind of like nonsense. Oh, she's drawing. She's

50:40

not writing, she's drawing. Her eyes

50:42

are crossed. I

50:45

don't think she's here. I don't think any

50:47

time soon. Hey there. Hey there,

50:49

Delilah. Hey there, Delilah. And we're back.

50:52

Did that advice take? So yeah, let's

50:54

have, um, Beef, do you want to give me

50:56

a wisdom check? Eight. Okay.

50:59

And then just take the drawing that Delilah

51:01

did of Sami, says Stinky Sammi. I

51:03

go, no, she's stinky. She's

51:06

f- she's f-f-f-f- strife. Stinky. You

51:08

know what? You know your life better

51:10

than me. Hands

51:13

up by surrender, you know. I mean, my brother

51:15

tried to marry me. Not all siblings are great.

51:17

If my sister tries, she wishes she could pull

51:19

me. And

51:23

just for you players, you should know that we're

51:26

at four yesses and three nos right now, as

51:28

far as how they've gone over. And

51:31

this is the final snail that's now on the table. You

51:33

can either come out with some good momentum or

51:36

kind of just have it be a net neutral. Or

51:38

if it goes really bad, we'll say under

51:41

ten, then it's a

51:43

negative on the whole overall. But

51:47

the snail opens its mouth. Hi.

51:50

Long time listener for

51:52

some caller. I

51:55

am actually headed out the door to

51:57

go on a radio show. to

52:00

endorse my friend Jennifer for the campaign

52:02

she's running for mayor and feeling

52:05

a little nervous it's also everyone I'm with is

52:07

I'm sensing they're a little nervous. Should I wear

52:09

this bow tie? Nobody's gonna

52:11

see any of you. Jennifer's

52:14

day drinking, beef is wearing a

52:16

bow tie and I'm just

52:18

wondering it like how do you sort of chill

52:21

out in the face of pressure like how do you

52:24

not get nervous and drink I don't know like three

52:26

bottles of wine when you get there to chill out.

52:28

Love you, sincerely nervous

52:31

to be on the radio.

52:33

I have a car! Hey

52:36

there de la la this is de la la

52:38

from KP you're talking to hey there de la la

52:40

fans thank you so

52:42

much for calling in. He keeps getting

52:44

longer every time. Thank you for

52:46

calling nervous to be on the radio. This

52:49

is actually something I know quite a bit about and

52:52

I use an acronym that I

52:56

paid very expensive mentor

52:58

to teach me which is just

53:00

cog chill out girl

53:04

at the end of the day if that doesn't work and you're still pretty

53:06

pissed by the end of the day go outside

53:08

her house go outside her

53:10

house stick a ton of forks in her lawn

53:17

spray pesticide on her her grasses

53:21

maybe I don't know it slowly

53:23

take little items out of

53:26

her garage so she feels she's going insane

53:28

yeah I could I could take a shot at this

53:30

de la la if that's all right. Absolutely. Chalice

53:33

is holding de la la's head up at this

53:35

point. It's become so heavy from

53:38

the pill. To

53:43

whomever the I

53:45

this is obviously my first time on the radio and

53:47

I came into this nervous but I will say that

53:50

the one thing that helped me was having

53:53

my best friends in the world beside

53:55

me supporting me I know

53:58

sometimes People don't have

54:00

time to read manuscripts, but

54:03

just know that the people beside you promise

54:06

that they're going to read it when they

54:08

get home right away. I don't know if

54:10

that helps you, whoever's calling, but just know

54:12

that that's the case. Yeah, I

54:14

bet it does help whoever's calling.

54:18

Yeah, I'd probably say

54:20

get the dog and the kids home. See

54:23

what happens. You have to bleep that out, bleep that out. That's the time

54:25

code is at one hour 14. Bleep that out. But

54:28

on the whole, on the kids

54:30

whole, I agree. Bleep that out

54:32

too, one hour 14. And

54:35

let's have, we'll have Chip roll a wisdom

54:37

check here. Okay, I wish I

54:39

had more than plus zero for my wisdom. So,

54:41

but remember, the stakes are high in this one.

54:44

Over 15, it's a yes, and

54:46

under a 10 is two noes. No,

54:48

we'll leave. I

54:50

did botch. No! Yep,

54:55

that's two noes. Can

54:58

he roll with advantage? Cause chalice would have liked

55:00

that advice. That was good advice. So

55:02

here's the thing, here's the thing. And I

55:04

would, do you want to point this out?

55:06

Chalice would like that advice. We're not saying

55:08

what chalice or the individual, it's how the

55:10

advice resonates with the listening public. And

55:13

for whatever reason, they were just

55:15

not feeling that answer. They're like,

55:17

manuscript, what did that have to do?

55:19

It's not gonna do anything. Friendship. People

55:24

are really mad these days. That was

55:26

a really good answer, Chip. Friends, people.

55:28

Yeah, but it's not a big culture

55:30

fit for Frasier. It's just

55:33

a culture thing. Me

55:35

and isolated sort of here. You know what, I'm

55:37

proud as long as it resonated with the people in this room. That's

55:39

all I care about. F*** you, listeners. Hey,

55:43

hey. Yeah, f*** you, listeners. Yeah,

55:45

f*** you, listeners. Okay, you

55:47

guys, I just really don't think at this

55:49

point I can give you a solid endorsement

55:51

of Jennifer as a chef or anything else.

55:54

You like war anyway, I don't know

55:56

if we want to. Well, I didn't really officially release that

55:58

yet. That's gonna be, that's gonna be... going to be the

56:00

special thousandth episode is what I think of

56:02

war. Is you talking about how much you

56:04

like war? I didn't release what I think

56:06

about it yet. Yes, I will. I

56:10

will be tuning into that episode. That

56:12

does sound like a good episode. It

56:14

is pending. You don't know it. I

56:16

am still working out the nuance of

56:18

my day. Or you

56:20

can't discern it. If you try to listen to

56:22

the previous episodes where I give my takes on

56:24

more and I give advice towards you

56:27

will not discern my take. Sorry, I

56:29

was just looking at the coffee table and notice

56:31

that there's a scroll that says Delilah's manifesto on

56:33

war. I

56:36

haven't touched the eyes or crossed the T's. It's

56:39

a weird thing to wait till the end. I'm

56:42

springing these snails. Let's get out of

56:44

here. Let's scream. Hey, my voice moves.

56:46

Snails. What a weird day, huh?

56:50

Go, you're free. And they're literally slugging

56:52

out and snailing out so slow. And

56:55

they're just getting like trampled on by people. Cape,

56:58

your team lunch is running away. You better

57:01

go get some. And that's

57:03

all we have time for today.

57:05

I'm hey there, Delilah. Tune in

57:07

tomorrow. Same time, same place. Have

57:10

a good one, Frazier. Bye there,
