The Neighborhood Listen! Welcome

2:02

back to The Neighborhood

2:04

Listen. Oh, hi. Hi.

2:08

Did you think I was welcoming you back, Joan? No.

2:11

Well, it did feel like a third segment. Welcome

2:15

back. It did. We had

2:17

the energy of it. We've been here for a while. Yes. And

2:20

you know why? We've

2:22

already done one episode today. It's true. So maybe

2:24

sometimes that's why we give off the vibe of like, we've been here all

2:26

day because we have. Absolutely. That's what it feels

2:28

like for sure. We're so happy to be here. We're so

2:30

happy to be here. You know, just hour after hour after

2:33

hour. Okay. Well,

2:35

that makes it starting to sound like you're not happy

2:37

about it. No, I love doing the show. I

2:40

truly do. And I love getting to know

2:42

our neighbors. And that is the purpose of

2:44

this podcast. We live

2:46

here in Dignity Falls and we

2:49

talk with and about our neighbors

2:51

and share that neighborhood with you.

2:54

And we share a little bit of ourselves

2:56

as well. And what you should share next

2:58

is your name. My name is Burnt Mia

3:00

Payday. I am a pharmacist here in Dignity

3:02

Falls. I am a pharmacist in chief at

3:04

the Dignity Falls Macy, which is a beautiful

3:06

new pharmacy in town. And I

3:08

couldn't be happier to be a captaining that ship.

3:10

Oh, wow. What a wonderful way to

3:13

talk about it. You are really happy there. I really

3:15

am. And I am Joan Pedestrian. Of course, I am

3:17

the top realtor here in Dignity Falls. And

3:21

my husband, Doug, is our engineer and

3:24

he's always in a different room recording. How

3:26

are you today, babe? Getting a call.

3:29

Oh, okay. It says spam risk. No,

3:31

don't take that call. It's okay. No, don't

3:33

take that call. If it says spam risk, you definitely

3:35

don't take it. You know, what's happening with Doug is

3:37

he's in this place where he's like my parents, where

3:47

it's like they get that text that's like immediately

3:51

call this number. Your social security number

3:53

has been, it's at risk or whatever

3:55

it says. And he freaks out and

3:57

I'm like, babe, we're too young to

3:59

be. getting fooled by this kind

4:01

of stuff. Well, to be fair, there is a

4:03

business in town called Spam Risk. And

4:06

it's an optometrist. And I don't understand

4:08

how they arrived at that thing. It

4:12

has nothing to do with eyes, with seeing. And

4:15

it is very confusing what they call. Because

4:20

if you're waiting for new glasses or something, they

4:23

really need to. It is so unbelievable. They're a

4:25

new store, too. They just opened up a month

4:27

ago. We're all now

4:29

conditioned to see Spam Risk and not answer.

4:31

And they do have a policy. If you

4:33

don't answer their calls, they charge

4:35

you. They will not leave a message. And

4:37

if you don't answer their calls, they give you

4:39

three calls. If you don't answer the third time,

4:42

they will charge you. They charge you. The cost

4:44

of the glasses doubles. Yes. And

4:46

their picture, on benches and posters and stuff,

4:48

it's also because it says Spam Risk. And

4:50

it is an old man with glasses squinting,

4:52

like in a concerned way. Yeah. He's

4:55

got bad glasses, and he needs to go to

4:57

Spam Risk for better ones. But what it just

4:59

looks like is an old man being confused. Yes.

5:01

And yeah. To make matters worse, they have a

5:03

very tiny print above Spam Risk. Need

5:05

glasses, question mark? Oh, very tiny. And they

5:07

think, I think they thought they were being

5:09

clever. Yes. That if you don't need glasses,

5:12

you can read this. Right. But if you

5:14

do, then you won't be able to read it. Yeah.

5:17

And all you can see is Spam Risk and an old

5:19

man looking confused. It's

5:22

just terrible. It's really, really bad.

5:25

Yeah, I don't like that. So

5:28

I'm sorry, babe, before you got a call from Spam

5:31

Risk, you were going to tell me where you were.

5:35

Which room? The firehouse. The firehouse.

5:37

He always wanted to have the fire

5:39

pole. Right. So he knocked a hole

5:41

in our master bedroom in the corner.

5:43

Thank you very much. That's bold. Right.

5:45

And there's not a city. I'm sure

5:47

I don't like them very much. He

5:49

has... Oh, someone's getting saucy. Well, I

5:51

picked up a little spice in your

5:53

voice. Well, yeah, you put you draw

5:55

the hole in my big, nice

5:57

room, you know, and also didn't put up any garbage.

5:59

or anything, so in the middle of the night, you

6:01

get up, you go, what, you could just fall right

6:04

there. Well, he says you can't, okay, babe, why are

6:06

you so crazy? But there's still

6:08

a hole. If you're half asleep, you get

6:10

up tonight, you get out of the bathroom, you get a

6:12

drink of water, you could fall in this

6:14

hole. I don't know if you're gonna have the wherewithal to grab

6:16

the hole. Here's why, this is what Doug does when he gets

6:18

up in the middle of the night. He

6:20

goes down the fire pole, uses the bathroom in the

6:22

firehouse. It's

6:24

a nice bathroom. And then how do you get back up? Yeah,

6:27

Doug, how do you get back up? You

6:29

don't shimmy back up the pole, Doug. Goodness, no.

6:31

Please tell me. You sure do. No, that must

6:33

take, how do firemen get back

6:35

up? I think they walk. They walk. They're

6:37

stairs. The only reason the fire pole exists

6:40

is they get downstairs really, really fast, but you

6:42

don't need to get back up to your

6:44

bed very, very fast. Well,

6:46

then I'll get some stairs going up to the bedroom. Can I

6:48

ask this now after all this time? Oh boy, we're gonna break

6:50

it down. After all this time. How much time did that save?

6:54

Was there ever a fire that, oh, if

6:56

only we hadn't walked down the stairs. We

6:58

had the pole. You

7:01

fool. You

7:03

thought walking down the stairs two at a time.

7:05

Or was it, there was never a pole and

7:08

they just kind of realized walking down these stairs

7:10

is a pain in the ass. So they just

7:12

decided, or was it just? Maybe they had a

7:14

circular staircase and they were like,

7:16

this takes so much time. You know what we need?

7:18

Well, just a pole. I've

7:21

never thought to call out the pole for

7:23

being not necessary.

7:25

Yeah. Unnecessary, I should say. More

7:27

trouble than it's worth. I'm not sure it does. Maybe

7:29

it is just because they're like, it's gonna make it

7:31

fucking cool. Is a pole. Maybe

7:34

it just, they wanted to add to their, there's

7:36

such a mythology with firemen, right? They love

7:39

their red truck. They love their funny helmets.

7:41

Their moustaches and also they thank them for

7:43

their service, they're very brave. their

7:45

service for toddlers. Now, as you all know,

7:47

our Dignity Falls Fire Department went on a

7:50

sabbatical to write a novel in

7:52

the upper peninsula of Michigan. I still can't

7:54

believe that happened. I still can't believe that

7:56

happened. And

7:58

that book was not good. You know, that's

8:01

the thing. All the characters were firemen. They

8:03

are back now. All the characters were firemen.

8:05

And the plot was meandering. Yeah.

8:14

And it was a lot of just, it

8:16

was a lot of, it

8:18

was very boring and very detailed on

8:21

just very specific things. There were also

8:23

recipes in the book, which

8:25

was supposed to be part of the- That was such filler. They

8:28

always such filler. They make cookies for each other.

8:30

Right. So they always make really great meals

8:32

for each other. But I was like, well then just do a cook.

8:34

It's almost like what they ended up doing was a cookbook.

8:36

And hot sauce. And

8:39

there was a story, the story was

8:41

just so bland. And then at one point

8:43

they, they try, it seemed like they tried

8:45

to make it into an espionage thriller. Yes.

8:48

And then they gave up on that. Right.

8:51

And then it was like, and now a recipe. Yeah. But

8:53

it was called like, how to catch a,

8:55

how to, what was it like? How to

8:58

catch a criminal souffle. It

9:00

was something like that. How to catch a criminal souffle. No, that was

9:02

it. They were trying to be, no, that

9:05

was it. They were trying to be clever. But

9:08

I think really what it was is they just wanted to

9:10

do a firemen's cookbook. And you know

9:12

what? That would have sold like gangbusters I think. Oh,

9:14

absolutely. Yeah. So they came back

9:16

and it's like they forgot how to

9:18

fight a fire. For the longest

9:20

time people would call and then no

9:22

one was awake. They'd be like, hello? Like

9:24

you, whatever reason they were, the

9:27

number was going directly. Around the clock. We have something here

9:29

where you can directly call the fire department. Yes. We

9:32

have the fire department's number. Yeah. And someone always

9:34

answers. And this time it was just like, hello? You

9:36

know, and it was like, well be right there. Like

9:38

they were really. They were surly. They were surly. They

9:41

were lazy. They were

9:43

late. And they would show

9:45

up with recipes. They would show up with

9:47

recipes. And honestly they would show up and they would be

9:49

like, ew, that's what they said to the fire. I

9:52

mean, that is not helping.

9:56

If you're still. outside

10:00

your home that's burning to the crowd

10:02

and the fire which you open say

10:05

you know that is

10:07

you want me to get that you know that

10:09

no thank you. So

10:15

it's been a real problem. Well, so that's

10:18

so I'm sure that's what right hence. Oh, okay. He's

10:20

still doing his Ren fair talk. Okay,

10:24

so if we have a also we

10:26

have pyromaniac twin, we do do you

10:28

are my twin boys. You finally you

10:30

finally admit it. He's a hard time admitting it.

10:32

We like to say the word. You've

10:34

never you've never come straight out. It's hard for him

10:36

to say the word pyromaniac. I think that's really what it is.

10:38

I've learned to accept who

10:40

they are. Yes. These are

10:43

of course my twin boys Matt and oh

10:45

cray. That's

10:47

right. Yes, you got to get it right. Thank you for

10:49

getting it right. Yeah, most people don't but

10:53

so anyways, I think that's probably

10:55

why Doug has always wanted an

10:57

in-home firehouse because first of

10:59

all, what are they going to do? They're just going

11:01

to come and get grossed out by it. And so

11:03

Doug can just write down his poll right and and

11:06

get it done for us. Honestly and on

11:08

that note, do you have firefighting equipment? Do

11:11

you babe? Did you get the pole? Well,

11:13

we have there's a spigot in there. There's a

11:15

bunch of buckets. We the

11:18

pedestrian household. Oh, he's just he's just saying

11:20

the family has it. I didn't know if

11:22

you hired a team. I think he meant

11:25

I mean, yes equipment. And you were also

11:27

asking about a uniform, right? Because

11:29

you need a gas mask. No, I meant like fighting to

11:31

fight. Like I want to know what you're going to wear,

11:33

babe. I mean, if you're in your bed, you're going to

11:36

like suit up. Yes. Let's talk about the fashion. It's

11:38

a great idea. Dom Dom

11:40

Dom. I almost got a

11:42

Dalmatian. A Dalmatian. I

11:44

was thinking about getting a Dalmatian for us.

11:46

I'm not even getting a Dalmatian. Yeah, probably

11:49

like number three on the list of things. I would say

11:51

so to fight fires. It's I would put

11:53

it lower. Honestly, I thought you were going to

11:55

I thought you were going to fly back a little water. Hold

11:58

water. Dalmatian water. You

12:00

need cookie you need like a nice need

12:02

baking. Absolutely do a baking oven No

12:08

an easy bake oven I think Have

12:14

you heard of these crookies, oh, nope,

12:16

but I don't like the name it's apparently a

12:19

new fad is a croissant cookie

12:25

What it does sound kind of like we

12:28

don't say that anymore Yeah

12:32

People you know what you know what

12:34

what? Not every two

12:36

words have to be smushed together. Okay, and

12:38

not every two name names Not

12:41

not I don't know how to say this, but

12:43

I think you have to stop squishing things together

12:46

No, you're right. It's just too much. So

12:48

it's a let him breathe. Sorry. It's a it's a what

12:50

it's okay Let

12:53

a brief let these words breathe. Yes, it's

12:55

a croissant and a cookie. Yes, it

12:58

sounds great And I think does it make oven does

13:00

it look more like a croissant or more like a

13:02

cookie? I can't even picture what

13:04

that is In

13:08

a bad mood it does it's

13:10

in Paris if that convinces you oh, well,

13:12

I love anything French I'll

13:16

try it. It looks a little like a I take

13:18

it all back. That's smushed. That's

13:21

smushed. Yes Thanks,

13:24

can you look it up babe and show it you

13:26

know, that sounds to me is like a panel chocolat. Oh,

13:28

yeah That's a good curse out that's much down.

13:31

Yes. Yes it is. Although it also yeah, but it

13:33

is mostly a croissant I mean, yes, you're it's square.

13:35

It's a square croissant like a rectangle. Yes Well,

13:39

I don't know. Are they selling them in town somewhere?

13:41

No, I just thought with the firehouse and

13:44

there's a lot of Downtime between fires. So

13:46

I think that's why they get into cooking.

13:48

Why do they call it Chris Sookie? No,

13:51

I like that already better. I look at I like it

13:53

better Cooks

13:55

on I mean, yeah Anything

13:58

is better than cookie I

14:00

don't like cookie. I hate it. And

14:03

oh, okay, wait, hang on a second. Doug

14:05

just texted me a picture. Yeah,

14:08

it just looks like a croissant with frosting

14:10

on it. No, it just looks like a

14:12

croissant with frosting on it. It doesn't look

14:14

anything. A turbocharged croissant. It doesn't look anything

14:16

like a cookie. No, it just looks

14:18

like a croissant. It looks like a frosted croissant. So that's

14:20

just ridiculous. Yeah, it looks like a frosted croissant. Yeah,

14:22

unless like that's just cookie dough, just raw cookie dough

14:24

that's smeared over the top of it. I

14:26

don't mind that actually. I need that. What's

14:30

your go-to comfort food, Burnt? Oh,

14:33

probably. Now we know that back

14:35

in the day when you were a child, what

14:38

your comfort food was or your mom would

14:40

make you toast burnt to a crisp. Just charcoal.

14:42

Just absolutely charcoal. Charcoal squares. It would slice the

14:44

top of the roof of your mouth. Well,

14:47

when I was a kid, I could eat squares. You could

14:49

eat squares. Yes, oh, that's right. Burnt doesn't eat square

14:51

food now. I can eat square food. But

14:53

it would just cut the roof of your mouth, you said.

14:55

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And was it, what else?

14:57

It was served with something? You okay,

14:59

babe? I

15:03

think Doug did a spit take. Was

15:05

he trying to put out a fire? Probably.

15:08

Just big mouthfuls of water. By the way,

15:10

you want to know what his equipment is.

15:12

He's ordered a bunch of pallets of liquid

15:15

death in bulk. And they're all just

15:17

sitting there. So I think he's just gonna crack open cans

15:19

and just like toss them at the fire. I guess that's

15:21

his plan right now. Shake them up, spray them. You don't

15:23

have to shake them up. I

15:25

think my comfort food now is a hard tack. Oh,

15:28

explain that to me again. What is that? It's

15:30

a sort of a thing that would eat in

15:33

the civil war. That's your comfort food. Yeah. Where'd

15:35

you even get that? At

15:37

the museum, they sell at the gift shop. You're

15:40

stockpiling gift shop memorabilia

15:43

as food. It's kind of a...

15:45

It is food. Is this like Vegemite or something? What is

15:48

this? It's kind of like a biscuit, right? Yeah, it's almost like eating

15:50

leather. Why would you, why? It's

15:52

just comforting to me. Okay, I

15:54

mean, I guess I can't argue. It makes me feel cozy.

15:56

Okay. Yeah. Okay. I thought you

15:58

were just gonna say what... Littlest

40:00

Italy, is that one block is

40:03

all Italian restaurants. Yeah. In

40:05

and out. Yeah. But

40:07

you know, as a detective, I like places like that. I always sit with

40:09

my back against the wall so I see who's coming in. Oh,

40:11

that's what you do all the time. Yes, that spaghetti

40:13

Yeti that you went to? Yeah, that's a great

40:15

one. Yeah, they have a big Yeti in

40:18

there. That's made out of spaghetti. Yes, it

40:20

was. Hence, Yeti's spaghetti. Well, he's called Yeti

40:22

spaghetti. He could take a picture with him. People go

40:24

there for their birthdays, you know. And if

40:26

you, there's a fun thing, there's, he's got like

40:28

a voice box in there that's triggered by, if

40:30

you call him Yeti

40:33

spaghetti, then

40:35

the voice goes, excuse me,

40:37

it's spaghetti Yeti.

40:40

Oh, that's right. He corrects you.

40:42

And then he drips sauce on you. Yeah. I

40:44

didn't get to see, that's why I get on the

40:46

neighborhood app because I didn't even get to experience that.

40:48

I could ask about, like someone could have told

40:51

me that. Yeah. I just, I didn't realize

40:53

it. Yeah. So, okay. So,

40:55

I kind of have this sort of habit

40:57

of, of looking, you know,

41:00

sort of being ready to look for things. And this

41:02

is what's interesting to me about you being a detective,

41:05

that you'd think if you went into Disneyland, you might

41:07

look for sort of clues for where to find a

41:09

ride or something, or maybe, you know what I mean?

41:12

Well, you know, it's almost like, it's

41:14

almost like your missing person this time was Disneyland

41:16

while you were in Disneyland. It's sort of like

41:18

Disneyland turns everyone into a detective. So, you walk

41:21

in like, where are the clues for rides? It

41:23

took me back that time I was walking around,

41:25

you know, I was like, okay, I need, I'm

41:27

looking for a kind of fun that's fast. Right.

41:30

That was your missing person this time. Yeah. And

41:33

you could, and you, and so how, let me know

41:35

how you stumbled on Splash Mountain. Cause here's the thing,

41:37

it's in like the very back of the park. So,

41:39

you actually have to pass quite a few rides to get

41:41

to it. I mean, obviously I never got that far. No. Oh

41:44

yes. This is also an interesting fact.

41:46

Burnt went to Disneyland only one time, but he only

41:48

made it as far as the entrance with like all

41:50

the flowers. It was too overwhelming for him. He turned

41:52

around and went home. It was overwhelming. Yeah.

41:55

So, in some ways you were kindred. If it's like this. In

41:57

some ways you're kindred spirits and that you both kind of, yeah, you should

41:59

go together. That

46:00

must be this other person, right? I guess maybe

46:02

in the detective field people have, you know, sort

46:05

of like, uh, informant names and I guess it

46:07

could be like, oh, I'm going to go see

46:09

California adventure, you know? Dairy Queen. Sure,

46:11

exactly. Oh, you know, dairy? Yeah.

46:15

Dairy is a real shifty,

46:17

shifty person. But, uh, but yeah,

46:19

you know, we in our

46:21

industry, we have code names for people. Right. Okay.

46:23

That makes sense. I figured California, venture, probably

46:26

some kind of code. Sure. Some, some California.

46:30

It's like a whole park that has the whole, the whole, the

46:32

whole rides over there. They've got a whole new bunch

46:34

of rides there. That's right. And so, um, but you

46:36

know, it is interesting again to say that you made

46:38

it to splash mountain. You really do walk past, you

46:40

know, with a pirates ride, a haunted mansion ride, you

46:43

know, um, what, what, what do you

46:45

think it was about splash mountain that made you

46:47

so laser focused that you didn't seem to see

46:49

any other ones and you went right straight to

46:51

it. Well, you know, I, I thought about when I was

46:53

a kid and I, I went, I, I

46:55

was a real big step by step fan.

46:57

Okay. Sure. And then you open the scene,

47:00

they have the water splash over them. And

47:02

I, I was thinking, I saw that from

47:04

a distance and I wanted to be a part of

47:06

that. So I didn't know it was a ride though.

47:08

So I was going there to get splashed the water

47:10

on. And then they were like, you want to go

47:12

on the ride and do the splashing. The

47:15

song's oh, is that the start of this?

47:18

No, that's, um, uh, full

47:20

house. Oh shoot. Oh,

47:22

step by step start. Step by step. Oh,

47:25

that's right. Okay. And you're alone and

47:27

lost. And you know

47:29

what? That is right. They get all splashed on water. And

47:31

what, what's that at splash mountain? I don't know. I've

47:33

never seen it. I

47:36

never thought of watching television as looking at something

47:39

from a distance. Right. Yeah. I

47:41

suppose it is. I guess it is. I

47:43

watched TV 15 feet away from my TV. I

47:47

don't want to get all about it. He means it literally might

47:49

be my parents told me not to get too

47:52

close. Yes, that's true. That was a thing that

47:54

used to be a thing with parents that getting

47:56

too close to the TV. It was. Yeah. They,

47:58

you'd go blind. Yeah. I

48:00

was going to happen. Also, if you turn the channel too

48:02

fast, we're gonna break it. Yeah, that's like, what are they

48:04

thinking? You know? It's like, I'm

48:06

flipping, I'm flipping. That is

48:09

so strange. You know, parents just lie to you,

48:11

you know? They tell you a good detective. It's

48:14

a big part of parenting? It's a huge part of parenting. Yeah.

48:17

Like, 100%. You take your kids

48:19

to Disneyland? We did take

48:21

them to Disneyland. Of

48:24

course, we went to

48:26

both Disneyland and Universal Studios, which is also a

48:28

place you can go. What is that? What is

48:30

that? What are you talking about? I don't wanna

48:32

throw. You know what? I'm all overwhelmed. You know

48:34

what? I was so nervous to say it, because

48:36

I thought that would happen. And I- And

48:38

I go. You had a sense that he'd never heard

48:40

of Universal Studios. Absolutely. And I was afraid

48:43

to throw it into the mix. But

48:46

yes, Universal Studios is basically,

48:49

you get to see movie magic, right? Like, they have

48:51

sort of one of the original robots of Jaws, you

48:54

know, the movie Jaws the Shark. I

48:56

don't think it's one of the original ones. Well, I

48:58

thought it was. Maybe it's not. I think it's entirely

49:00

plastic. It's a solid piece of plastic. Well, it is

49:02

pretty fake looking. And

49:05

then you can sort of see some stunt shows.

49:07

And one of the shows that they had, and

49:09

I think this was part of what led to

49:11

Mannequin's problem, is that while they liked Disneyland, they

49:13

loved this thing called Backdraft. Of course. And all

49:15

it is is you just go in a studio.

49:17

There was a movie called Backdraft that was just

49:19

all about firefighters. Oh, I saw that movie. Oh,

49:21

you did? Yeah, yeah. So then all you do

49:23

is you go into a room and honestly, everything

49:25

catches fire. It just starts slowly. And it just

49:28

explodes. And it was hot. To be honest, it

49:30

was very uncomfortable. And I mean, you would have

49:32

thought that Mannequin were just seeing, it

49:34

was like Christmas morning. They were just a

49:36

gog. They couldn't get over it. I heard

49:38

they started singing. They started singing. They started

49:40

singing. They were like, well, they

49:43

sang like, you know, like Charlie Brown. They're

49:45

like, oh, duh, duh. They put their little

49:47

cartoon noses up. They were holding noses. Sounds

49:49

terrifying. Oh, yeah, they sang like who's. Well,

49:52

that's good. It's in the universal canon. That's

49:56

exactly correct. I

50:00

have to go there. Yes, but I will

50:02

say if you found, yeah, I would start,

50:04

Disneyland is less overwhelming than Universal, and there's

50:06

a very annoying escalator that you have to

50:08

take to get down to everything. Do

50:11

they have Fast and the Furious right? Is that

50:13

a Universal movie franchise? Oh, maybe, a Fast

50:15

and the Furious, right? I know they have like a

50:17

Jurassic Park ride, with like a really big, they have

50:19

a water drop in that, and if you like the

50:21

water drop from Splash Mountain, have we ever really talked

50:23

about it? Did you like Splash Mountain? I

50:26

found it equal. I found it equal.

50:29

Now can you, yeah, do. Equal

50:31

to, my body felt equal. It

50:33

felt balanced. Balanced, it was balanced.

50:35

What was balanced about it? That's not a

50:37

word I would think to describe that. I

50:39

guess it was like, I was

50:42

not too excited, not too bored. I

50:45

guess I found it to be

50:47

regular. Okay, good. Regular, sure. Absolutely. That's

50:50

interesting, I wouldn't. Cause it didn't do much. It's kind

50:52

of problematic, actually, the ride, which is a good reason

50:55

why they're changing it. They're probably problematic. It's problematic, but.

50:57

It's based on a very problematic

51:00

property that is locked inside the

51:02

Disney vault. So

51:04

that's another reason why they're redoing it. But

51:07

yes. Because they have this movie that

51:09

they've hidden from the public, then you go to

51:11

this ride, like who are these characters? Yeah, exactly.

51:13

Oh, that's right. I

51:16

did feel uncomfortable in the beginning. How come we've

51:18

never seen these guys before? Oh,

51:20

I know. Who is this making me uncomfortable? That's

51:22

right. But they will still have the water

51:24

drop. I'm pretty sure I know how they're gonna work it

51:26

into the storyline of the princess and the

51:28

frog. Oh, the frogs love water. The what? Frogs

51:31

love water. Yeah, that's right. And which is, again, I know it's

51:33

not gonna be called that. The frog drop is what I think

51:35

we all agree is the perfect name for it. The

51:37

princess lift. The princess lift, maybe. I

51:39

don't know, yeah. But here, I want to, you know,

51:41

I would like to share with you, since this is

51:44

one of the reasons why you're here, could I share

51:46

some rides that I think you might like? Absolutely, perfect.

51:48

Let me know, okay. Well, there's, first of all,

51:50

if you like Goofy, if you

51:52

go to California Venture, there's a rollercoaster that's

51:54

called Goofy's Rollercoaster. Are you

51:57

kidding me? Sometimes it's just that simple. It is, you see

51:59

it is. Goofy's Rollercoaster. I

1:10:00

bought the house out here. And

1:10:02

you're just alone? You don't have any? No, I have no

1:10:04

one. I have my mother back home when I sent

1:10:06

her some gifts. And I have my oven

1:10:08

mitts. Are you living in little Bachelorette? Excuse

1:10:11

me. Are you living in little Bachelorette? Yeah,

1:10:13

yeah, yeah. That can be tough because it's

1:10:15

a little bit, it's just all bachelors and it

1:10:17

can be sort of, it's a little. Do

1:10:19

you have your Scarface poster up? Yeah,

1:10:21

I don't have a Scarface, I have

1:10:23

a Carlito's way. Oh, sure. Of

1:10:26

course, of course. Scared out a

1:10:28

little bit, yeah. Sometimes you gotta

1:10:30

do your own thing. You know, the ladies love

1:10:32

Carlito. Absolutely. Ha, ha, ha,

1:10:34

ha, ha. But

1:10:37

I don't like living around a bunch of

1:10:40

single bachelors. Sometimes it could be a little

1:10:42

stress. Everyone's always like, how'd it go? What's

1:10:44

the ladies talking about? And I'm always like,

1:10:46

look, I don't want to talk about anything

1:10:48

if it's not fun. Yeah.

1:10:51

I hear that. Totally. The Kim

1:10:53

Kachral approach. Yes, I like her.

1:10:56

They should do an amusement park with her. Oh,

1:10:59

I love it. Why not? Kim Kachral themed

1:11:01

amusement park. I think that sounds wonderful. Wow.

1:11:04

It could be really fun. Could be a mannequin ride. Oh,

1:11:07

for sure there could, yes, absolutely.

1:11:10

Another movie, probably. Another

1:11:12

movie, probably. A

1:11:15

Big Trouble in Little China. Oh, she's in

1:11:17

that? She was in that, yeah. She was in that. Amazing.

1:11:19

Fascinating. I haven't seen mannequin in a very long time. I

1:11:21

wonder if that rolls up. Before I got to the force, yeah.

1:11:24

I'm a little curious. Ha, ha, ha, ha,

1:11:26

ha. Listen, I, you know. A

1:11:28

movie has to be problematic, right? Oh, it has

1:11:31

to be. It has to be. I

1:11:33

think what most movies have to do, it's just best to start

1:11:35

there and assume that they are. Well,

1:11:39

listen, I really do think you should

1:11:41

start small, just right here, go to

1:11:44

our amusement park, and then

1:11:46

just see how you feel. And here's the

1:11:48

other thing you could do. Do what I

1:11:50

do, go online, and you just look up

1:11:53

Matterhorn POV, someone's holding

1:11:55

a camera, I don't know how, because

1:11:57

it's a pretty, it's a rollicking ride.

1:12:00

But yeah, I'd probably go probably

1:12:02

go pro But you

1:12:04

know and you can see you can get to see

1:12:06

what they look like, you know And

1:12:09

they're fun and then and then you can sort of

1:12:11

decide and that way, you know You when you go

1:12:13

to Disneyland you can say oh, yes. I know I

1:12:15

want to ride Matterhorn I know I want to tell

1:12:17

you where they are Yes,

1:12:21

what's crazy get all excited and get

1:12:24

there I'm like, where's the matter what's crazy I don't want

1:12:26

to be if you ask someone who works there, they're going

1:12:28

to know. Yes They want they want you to

1:12:30

they want to tell you they do they really

1:12:32

do. Okay, they're very friendly I'm gonna trust

1:12:34

you. They call it the happiest place on

1:12:36

earth painting. Did you know that? I mean

1:12:38

if you want to be happy, that's where

1:12:40

you go Okay Overstimulated

1:12:43

it's gonna be okay. You're gonna be fine. You

1:12:45

know what? I think that you should go home.

1:12:47

It's been a long day Yes, and I think

1:12:50

I'm gonna get a good nap. I think you should Or

1:12:53

just go to sleep for the day be done

1:12:55

for the day I'm gonna put the

1:12:58

sleep right by the King of New York poster. I have

1:13:03

That is just a mattress on the floor obviously Yeah

1:13:17

So I would go get some rest and then and

1:13:20

then do you know tomorrow look up some of these

1:13:22

videos of these rides And that way you'll feel for

1:13:24

them. Yeah You

1:13:26

know what I really want you to find happiness

1:13:28

I think you're delightful I found it I found

1:13:30

it Two

1:13:39

years ago you see Man,

1:13:41

I was a wreck. I was a wreck. I

1:13:43

cannot find this. Um, hold on a second. He's

1:13:46

got a text. Oh One

1:13:50

of my one of my witnesses from that last case

1:13:52

13 years. Oh my goodness

1:13:55

It says Peyton

1:13:58

is this your number? I wanted

1:14:02

you to know that my daughter,

1:14:04

my daughter is friends with,

1:14:06

okay, my daughter knows

1:14:13

my daughter kidnapped. My

1:14:16

daughter kidnapped. My daughter

1:14:18

knows my daughter kidnapped. So apparently

1:14:21

the witness. Is this

1:14:23

code for something? It seemed

1:14:25

very lucid at first. They

1:14:27

get confused as the text goes on. Make

1:14:31

sure I'm reading this right. Make

1:14:33

sure you're reading it right. I

1:14:35

have that thing on my phone where if you want to

1:14:37

cheat on your partner. Oh, what? I'm

1:14:41

sorry. It keeps

1:14:43

them from being able to look at your text messages. Really?

1:14:47

It makes it hard for me to look at. Is

1:14:49

it an app? You

1:14:51

tell them you want to cheat on

1:14:53

your partner. And then they

1:14:55

put this... They install some

1:14:58

specific... See if you can see.

1:15:01

I can't see. If

1:15:03

someone is sitting next to someone and

1:15:05

I'm saying my partner. I'm texting someone

1:15:07

else. It doesn't matter

1:15:10

for me because I don't have a partner. Of course. It's

1:15:13

aspiration. When

1:15:15

you get a partner, you decide to cheat on him. You

1:15:19

have to tell him when you buy the phone. You need to

1:15:21

get back to this text. What

1:15:23

if your witness is saying that his daughter kidnapped

1:15:25

the missing person? Okay. Is

1:15:29

this your number? Okay.

1:15:32

If it is, this is your witness, Craig. Oh,

1:15:35

Craig. I

1:15:38

am with my daughter right now. And

1:15:41

she has just told me... Okay.

1:15:43

I see what she's saying. She's like her daughter and

1:15:46

the victim. The one who went missing. They

1:15:49

were best friends. Craig's daughter and

1:15:51

the missing person. So she said

1:15:53

her daughter. Craig

1:15:55

is a man. So his

1:15:57

daughter. His

1:16:00

daughter is friends with

1:16:02

the missing person. Okay. She

1:16:05

just told me at

1:16:08

her wedding that she

1:16:11

just got me. She said, I

1:16:13

am living with a

1:16:16

secret. I've

1:16:18

been living with this secret. I've been me

1:16:20

and the victim. Her

1:16:22

name was Chantel. Me

1:16:25

and Chantel, we planned this ourselves and

1:16:27

I've been hiding her this whole time. Oh

1:16:30

my goodness. She told us at her wedding

1:16:32

of all the times to do it. I

1:16:35

got to, I got to go. And

1:16:38

she's been hiding. Is there anything else? Did

1:16:41

they say why? Is there nothing else? They said,

1:16:43

uh, uh, do you have

1:16:45

the dots? Are you getting the dots? Oh, Craig is this

1:16:47

is happening. What's happening? Craig is writing

1:16:50

right now. We say,

1:16:52

are you serious? I have you guys. I want

1:16:54

to text him. Who are you? Fucking

1:16:56

with me. Yeah, for sure. No,

1:16:59

this is very real. You

1:17:01

know, I know how hard you work to

1:17:03

find Chantel. Oh, that's nice. I think you

1:17:05

should come back. We

1:17:08

owe you an apology. Oh wow. This

1:17:10

is amazing. This is crazy. I can't believe I'm so

1:17:12

sorry. I don't mean it. I don't mean to derail.

1:17:14

No, not at all. I mean, I'm not sure we've

1:17:16

ever had something happen. I have to go back to

1:17:18

find out what's going on. Yeah.

1:17:22

But they said, uh,

1:17:24

we will take you to Disney

1:17:26

world. Oh, that's very nice.

1:17:29

As a, as a, as an apology. So even

1:17:31

though they're in LA, they will take you to

1:17:33

Disney world. I think they're, oh, I didn't

1:17:35

know where they were. They're in DC. DC? I'm

1:17:38

sorry. It was LA. No, no, no.

1:17:41

The LA case was a president of a company I was looking for. Oh,

1:17:43

that's right. That's I'm so sorry. That one

1:17:45

didn't work out. All right. I was less

1:17:47

than mostly a trash attached to that. Well, Peyton, you've got to go. You've

1:17:49

got to go to see if that information is built on

plates. Before I go, I must try to hold my breath a

1:17:53

little longer. No, no, no, no, no, no. No,

1:17:56

no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. Oh no.

1:19:38

so much about what they're trying to sell? Here's a picture of a

1:19:40

big leaf. Monster,

1:19:43

Monstera, $30. What else do you need?

1:19:48

Welcome back to the neighborhood list. And

1:19:50

wow, what a nice, I'm

1:19:52

glad we could witness that closure.

1:19:54

Cause I was a little worried about him. I just was like,

1:19:56

he's going to go back to that house and he's just going

1:19:59

to be exhausted every day. day and like and

1:20:03

the thought of him oof two

1:20:05

thoughts make me happy the thought of him solving a

1:20:07

case finally finding a person although I don't know if

1:20:09

it's really solving because of course these people

1:20:11

these people tricked everyone they felt bad

1:20:14

for him they did yeah but at least I

1:20:16

think it's still gonna feel like some sort of closure

1:20:18

for sure right and realize it's not his fault yes

1:20:20

yes yes yes I mean I guess

1:20:22

he could have discovered somehow that they were hiding but that's hard

1:20:24

you know I mean that's that's even more hard than oh yeah

1:20:27

right and then

1:20:29

also maybe him going to Disneyland someday and writing some

1:20:31

of these rides and finding that happiness I hope so

1:20:33

I really hope so too I hope so he deserves

1:20:35

it I still think you should go back I'm

1:20:38

getting up the courage to do it okay yeah

1:20:41

all right maybe the kids will be excited to go back after

1:20:43

all this time we could all go together oh that's

1:20:45

okay we should go to

1:20:48

the the local one really

1:20:51

they put in

1:20:53

a new ride where you're it's

1:20:55

a full roller coaster a full

1:20:57

one full roller coaster but

1:20:59

it should be noted that there are

1:21:02

some partial roller coasters in the park and

1:21:04

it's just just goes up didn't

1:21:06

finish it and then there's a

1:21:08

long staircase which

1:21:13

is scarier than it is so thin it's

1:21:15

so narrow

1:21:19

the staircase the kids called a staircase

1:21:21

yes but this one you're actually

1:21:25

hanging by your hands

1:21:27

you know almost like so

1:21:29

one say play gym like a zipline but

1:21:31

a roller coaster yeah like a like a zipline

1:21:33

but you're just hanging by your hands a play

1:21:36

gym? to me monkey bars? yeah monkey bars that

1:21:38

stuck with me a play gym? I

1:21:40

knew you were gonna seize on that hahahahahaha

1:21:44

hahahahah sort

1:21:46

of building yeah

1:21:49

that you can do all sorts of things it

1:21:51

has the big tubs of foam blocks you can

1:21:53

jump in that's what an alien

1:21:55

says when they're coming down and trying to sound normal

1:21:57

they're like is your kid at the play gym? Did

1:22:00

your offspring enjoy the play gym? Did

1:22:03

they go to the play gym? It's

1:22:08

fun to talk like an alien. Alright,

1:22:11

we have time for one more post. This

1:22:13

comes to us from Pam. Hi

1:22:17

Pam. If

1:22:20

you're out there reading your post, this

1:22:22

is in the appreciation, appreciation section.

1:22:25

Oh, okay. I didn't even know that

1:22:27

existed. Okay. I

1:22:29

like that. Did

1:22:31

I say something weird? It's the shortest word

1:22:33

ever to mispronounce. Oh

1:22:35

God. I

1:22:39

think I was also about to say, I

1:22:42

did not know that that was a

1:22:44

category. Yeah, the appreciation. I

1:22:46

just went from okay to I did not know and

1:22:48

it just became oh God. You

1:22:51

can, yes, there was a section where you can just

1:22:53

shout out something you think is great. Okay. And

1:22:55

so Pam writes, hi there. I

1:22:58

just wanted to acknowledge the four young people

1:23:00

out with manual shovels this morning. What? The

1:23:03

end. Oh, that was it. That's it.

1:23:06

Wow. I'm sorry, but what's

1:23:08

the difference between a shovel and a manual shovel? Well,

1:23:10

that's what I'm wondering is, I

1:23:13

haven't noticed that a lot of people have abandoned

1:23:15

the idea of shovels and they're

1:23:17

using cranes or snowplows or up

1:23:19

and over loaders. But

1:23:23

manually, am I wrong? No,

1:23:26

I guess if you worked for a construction company,

1:23:28

you have access to earth movers, but I don't.

1:23:30

Then you wouldn't call that a shovel, right? Yeah,

1:23:33

I don't know what she's talking about. I

1:23:35

guess you could do a electric shovel. How?

1:23:39

Yeah, walk us through that. What would that be? Well,

1:23:42

okay. So picture

1:23:44

like a vacuum cleaner almost. Okay. Close

1:23:46

your mouth. Yeah, listeners, I hope

1:23:48

we close your eyes. Everybody at home, close your eyes. Okay.

1:23:51

There's like buttons on the handle. Yes, I

1:23:54

see it. I still see a vacuum cleaner, babe.

1:23:56

You have to help me and change it into a shovel. Sorry,

1:23:58

but picture. We're

1:24:00

starting at the top and now

1:24:02

we're working our way to the top. It's

1:24:05

a shovel. It's a real Cinderella's

1:24:07

ball gown thing. It's starting at the top and

1:24:09

by the way down it's going to turn into

1:24:11

a shovel. Yes. So is there a

1:24:13

bag attached? I sure hope not. No.

1:24:16

Okay. There's no bag. All

1:24:18

right. It's getting more shovel-like as we

1:24:20

know. Let's keep going. It's actually much more like

1:24:23

a shovel than a vacuum cleaner. Okay. Well, I

1:24:25

should hope so. It's a shovel. Okay. So,

1:24:27

but imagine... Also, you are the one that introduced the vacuum cleaner. Yes.

1:24:30

It's true. Not our fault. Just

1:24:32

like I didn't name O. Kamali Theater. You

1:24:34

press a button in the sheath

1:24:37

of a shovel or the shaft.

1:24:39

What would you call it? Yes.

1:24:42

The shaft. Getting into Harlequin romance territory.

1:24:44

They're both names. They're both Harlequin terms for a penis. A

1:24:47

sheath. Okay. But that's sort of

1:24:49

in two parts. So if you press the

1:24:51

button, the second part juts

1:24:53

out. So the shovel part... You mean the shovel

1:24:55

part juts out. Like Umbrella style? Oh,

1:24:57

yes. Umbrella style. Umbrella

1:25:00

style. Umbrella style. Umbrella style.

1:25:03

Umbrella style. Umbrella. Well,

1:25:06

now you sound like spaghetti yeti. Umbrella

1:25:08

style. Oh, no, you

1:25:11

know, absolutely not, babe.

1:25:14

Absolutely not. Now, why not? You always

1:25:16

got your hair, Joe. Why not? If

1:25:19

you left as... Oh, we're eyes are opening now. That was great. I

1:25:21

was arguing with you at my eyes closed. You can open your eyes

1:25:23

closed. I was starting to fall asleep. So I thought I should open

1:25:25

my eyes. Everybody at home open your eyes. It's not done, though. Clearly.

1:25:29

Okay. It just came out Umbrella style. All

1:25:31

right. So, yeah, sorry. Sorry. you

1:25:36

felt in each other. And also when you hear the

1:25:38

word duck, you're going to see. So

1:25:42

it shoots into the... A little mentoring candidate got in there.

1:25:44

It shoots into the earth. So that's... Yeah.

1:25:48

So you don't have to do the digging motion. So it shoots into the

1:25:50

earth. Then you press... You have to do the digging motion.

1:25:52

Everyone knows that's the hardest part. What

1:25:54

about the shoveling motion? Exactly. It's

1:25:56

like a little button. And it just...

1:25:58

It flaps. Okay,

1:26:00

so it throws the dirt like

1:26:02

a fin on a whale. Do

1:26:05

we ever find out that was your homework from last episode

1:26:08

burnt? It was to find out if a shark was

1:26:10

a fish or not. Do it right now.

1:26:14

We're just gonna be looking that up. Okay, so

1:26:16

like a whale flap, it just goes

1:26:18

like that. Okay, so it's just

1:26:20

like, and then that's the shovel going down and then,

1:26:23

oh, that's the sound it makes. Just

1:26:25

and flop. Okay, got it. It

1:26:29

seems like it would work. Sure, sure.

1:26:32

Seems like it would work. It's

1:26:34

a great shark tank pitch, babe. That's really, especially that's how

1:26:37

you should end. Seems like it should work. Sharks

1:26:40

are a group of elasmo branch

1:26:42

fish. Elasmo branch? Elasmo branch.

1:26:45

Characterized by a cartilage, cartilage in a

1:26:47

skeleton. Five to seven gens. Can you

1:26:49

show me where your elasmo branch fish

1:26:51

are? I was hearing that there are

1:26:54

many in this area. Elasmo

1:26:56

branch in this tiny bowl receptacle. And

1:27:01

you know, of course the, you've heard the

1:27:03

phrase no such thing as a fish. There's a

1:27:05

podcast called that. I have not. But

1:27:07

apparently there's fish as a species

1:27:10

do not have enough

1:27:12

commonalities to be a

1:27:15

species. What? Yes. They're

1:27:17

just all too different. They're all too different to be one

1:27:19

thing. That kind of makes sense because there's a lot of

1:27:22

different kinds of crazy fish. There's too many. There's just too

1:27:24

many. There's too many. Give it

1:27:26

a break. Give it a break. Give it

1:27:28

a break. Give it a break you guys.

1:27:31

But okay, so get him back to the shovel business.

1:27:33

Okay. But I was right. It's

1:27:35

a fish. Yeah, we are. Yes, you

1:27:37

are. For better or worse. For lack of

1:27:39

a better term. According to everybody. Yes, Joan,

1:27:41

we got confirmation. The ichthyologist. Joan was right

1:27:43

everyone. Thank you. And I was wrong. I

1:27:46

understand. I was wrong. Oh,

1:27:48

okay. I was the one that said I don't think sharks are fish. Yes.

1:27:51

I kicked the table. And so,

1:27:53

but the electronic shovel is something you

1:27:56

just invented just now. It's not as

1:27:58

if there's been a rash of. kids

1:28:01

using non-manual shovels. That's right.

1:28:03

Okay, and then back to this post, here's

1:28:05

my guess. Can you, what did it just

1:28:07

say? Can you read it again? Just one

1:28:09

more time. What does it just say? I

1:28:11

like that she just acknowledges them, or I

1:28:13

don't like this. Here's what I think. Acknowledged

1:28:15

but not appreciated. Here's what I think. Well,

1:28:17

I guess because it's in the appreciation section,

1:28:20

that she's assuming you're doing

1:28:22

the work. Hi

1:28:24

there, I just wanted to acknowledge the four young people

1:28:26

out with manual shovels this morning. Okay, so here's what

1:28:29

I feel like, because we did have just recently. Her

1:28:31

name is Pam. Yeah, I feel like what Pam is

1:28:33

doing, the only reason you'd think someone for shovels is

1:28:35

for shoveling a driveway or a walk or sidewalk. We

1:28:37

had a freak lizard. I went to snow, but yes.

1:28:40

We had a freak lizard just maybe like a week

1:28:42

ago, and it was crazy, because

1:28:44

it snowed on the sprundoon, and

1:28:46

it was just like, it was crazy. And

1:28:49

then it really looked like the Matterhorn did

1:28:51

perfectly on us. People were sledding down it.

1:28:53

Kids tried to jump in it. And they

1:28:55

had already shellacked it, but so it made

1:28:57

it very dangerous. Absolutely. And

1:28:59

so I think, I bet you anything, she

1:29:02

was just thanking people for shoveling the walkways.

1:29:06

It makes me think back to like, it's always the thing

1:29:08

that you tell your kids to do. But of course, Matt

1:29:11

and Crunch's answer was to set it on fire. They

1:29:13

would go out, they pour some lighter fluid on the

1:29:15

snow, and then they would just melt it. And

1:29:18

that's how they did it. And they just thought they

1:29:20

were geniuses. It did work, it did work, but oh

1:29:23

God, it was just not, it smelled

1:29:25

terrible, and it was terrifying for people.

1:29:28

Well, of course. In general. Yeah, to see a path

1:29:30

of flame. Yeah, just flame, just a path of flame.

1:29:33

So anyways, I think that's what it is. But it was

1:29:35

a funny way of saying it, because

1:29:38

well, there was not a lot of specifics to it. I

1:29:41

guess people have snow blowers. If you really,

1:29:43

we're not quite a town, we're not quite

1:29:45

a town that gets that much snow, but

1:29:47

sure, there's some towns that I think people

1:29:49

own their individual, own individual snow blowers. No,

1:29:52

babe, you cannot get a snow blower. I can

1:29:54

just already hear the wheels turning. I know he

1:29:56

wants one. We don't have enough snow to rate

1:29:58

getting a snow blower. to

1:30:00

quote Wayne's world on that ride, which would

1:30:02

be like, oh, I don't even own a

1:30:05

gun, let alone many guns to necessitate entire

1:30:07

rack. That's what

1:30:09

Wayne says when Laura Flynn Boyle gives

1:30:11

him a gun rack for his birthday,

1:30:13

his crazy ex-girlfriend. Oh

1:30:15

yeah, that's right, great character. Do

1:30:19

you think if you watched that movie today, you would

1:30:21

laugh a single time? You know what's funny? I just

1:30:23

recently did watch that movie. Did you really? Yeah, I

1:30:25

used to watch it a long time ago. It's

1:30:29

not bad, it's pretty darn funny. Do you know who's really funny

1:30:31

in it? Who? You know who's

1:30:33

really funny in it is Ed O'Neill.

1:30:35

He plays the owner of the diner,

1:30:37

the donut shop, sorry. And he just

1:30:39

immediately, you think that the camera's

1:30:41

gonna follow Wayne, but it follows Ed, and he just

1:30:44

starts talking about Vietnam, and he just goes, I didn't

1:30:46

have anything to do with it. When you kill a

1:30:48

man, he just literally, he just goes

1:30:50

off on a crazy tangent, and it's very

1:30:52

funny. And Tia Carrera, she's a

1:30:54

babe. Wow, she's a major babe. Oh, she's

1:30:56

gorgeous, yes. I

1:30:58

think it's kind of fun. I mean, you know, it is what

1:31:01

it is. It knows what it is, and it is what it

1:31:03

is. What about Austin Powers? If you watch that too. Don't know,

1:31:05

bet you that one is, bet you that one's rough. I

1:31:08

saw me and the boys saw

1:31:10

space balls again, and I didn't

1:31:12

laugh a single time. Really? You

1:31:14

didn't, you're kidding. Was

1:31:16

it- A really pizza the hutch, didn't get a chuckle

1:31:18

out of you? Yogurt. Dark helmet. Was

1:31:21

it because you guys were doing- Dark helmet. Was it

1:31:23

because you guys were doing your movie game? See the

1:31:25

boys, if you go see a movie with the boys,

1:31:28

then all they do is just run around and

1:31:30

try to change seats as much as they can. And

1:31:32

when they were little, you know, it was so hard

1:31:34

to keep track of them. Oh, I thought you meant,

1:31:37

okay. I'm so sorry. When

1:31:39

you said the boys, I didn't think you were talking about the

1:31:41

twins. I thought you were talking about- I thought you were talking

1:31:43

about the boys. Were you not talking about our boys? I

1:31:46

was immediately went to like the guys from Rhubarb Caravan.

1:31:49

Yes, or the ones from the Super Bowl. That makes

1:31:51

sense. Yeah. Were they not the

1:31:53

same? Well, I thought they were a few. We invited

1:31:55

a few. There's overlap, right? There's overlap. A few Caravans.

1:31:57

There's definitely. Sleepover

1:32:00

rhubarb caravan overlap. For sure. A

1:32:02

caravan or something. Well,

1:32:05

I don't know. I guess we'll have to, we already

1:32:07

have so many watch along, so we have to really

1:32:09

get to some of those first. Yeah, we really do.

1:32:11

We really do. And then we'll get around to Austin

1:32:14

Powers? Austin Powers, maybe? I don't know, we'll see. Wait,

1:32:16

so you and the boys will run around. What's the

1:32:18

seats game? Oh, they run around and try

1:32:20

to change seats. And if they don't find any seats, then they

1:32:22

just sit on you. And I bet you they were just sitting

1:32:24

on you a lot. They just sit on me. Yeah, that's probably

1:32:26

why you didn't enjoy a single minute of it. You

1:32:30

can't quite wrap my mind around this. I promised them a good

1:32:32

time. Then it was just a

1:32:35

horrible movie now. I really thought I'd

1:32:37

love it. This is a real strong statement, babe. I

1:32:40

don't know about this. They had never seen it before?

1:32:42

They had never seen it. Oh, okay. That was, you

1:32:44

know. But they barely watched it because they're just busy

1:32:46

messing around. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, so hard to get

1:32:48

them. I'm sure they laughed at

1:32:51

all the scatological jokes. I'm sure they did. They barely

1:32:53

paid attention. They were just running around so much. Oh,

1:32:55

there you go. And then, yeah. They didn't miss the

1:32:57

big comb. The

1:33:00

big vacuum cleaner in space. Oh, there

1:33:03

you go. Okay, but no. He

1:33:05

said comb. That is not the same thing. No

1:33:08

kidding. Are you serious? I've never seen it. Oh, well, Burt,

1:33:10

you gotta watch it. I never talk about it. I think

1:33:12

I may have listed all the things that I know about

1:33:14

space balls just now. And that

1:33:16

Rick Moranis wears a big helmet. I'm sure you know that.

1:33:19

Yes, Rick Moranis revealing the

1:33:21

Rick Moranis face in that big helmet.

1:33:23

That's- Rick Moranis is pretty hilarious. That's

1:33:25

a slight chuckle. Nothing

1:33:27

against Rick Moranis. You know what? If you

1:33:29

1:33:31

McNutt even somehow got on there. Oh yeah.

1:34:02

How did that happen? He did. Well,

1:34:05

it was because- Episode of his stupid podcast. I

1:34:07

know. We were sort of tricked. Apparently the people

1:34:09

at what CBB World is, that's how it is.

1:34:11

We still don't know what it stands for. Yeah.

1:34:13

They said that they would promote Herlet, you know,

1:34:16

as long as we allow, as

1:34:19

long as we allowed sort of like, you know,

1:34:21

a little bit of a share from, you know,

1:34:23

they were interested in sort of like the extra

1:34:25

universe of dignity falls. They said,

1:34:27

escros stop. Wow, that

1:34:29

was a real dad voice, Burnt. I

1:34:32

thought I would try it out. Yeah, it was good. It sounded good on you.

1:34:35

Anyways, we were tricked and we let, when

1:34:37

they just said an extra, you know, an

1:34:39

extra podcast from locals, and I didn't

1:34:41

know that Mitch McNutt was the local. I never would

1:34:43

have occurred to me that would have used his- And

1:34:45

the thing is, Carol Dragonstein, I used to be friends,

1:34:47

but you know what? Like, we were

1:34:50

not anymore. And she talks

1:34:52

about it a little bit. Anyways. They put

1:34:54

in the episode art, I saw both their fingers

1:34:57

were crossed. Both their-

1:34:59

But they promised. That is very

1:35:01

silly. All right, we have to go get

1:35:03

escrow to be quiet, and I'm gonna make Burnt use that voice again.

1:35:06

And we're gonna see you next time, right?

1:35:08

Yes, that's right. And until then, goodbye! And
