A sort of a treat if you will so look

Bonus Nanas for Bonus Nanza.
But did you know that if you sign up at patreon.com slash andydaily, which I've now said three

This is a, we do this twice a month.
Well every other week, which sometimes is not twice a month.
Anyway, every other week we put up a new episode of bonus Nanza extravaganza.
What is it?
It's like a comedy grab bag.
You never know what it's going to be.
Every episode is something different. Who know what it's going to be. Every episode is something different.
Who knows what it's going to be?
Well, anyway, today, just to give you a clearer idea
than you've ever had before of what awaits you
when you sign up at patreon.com slash Andy Daly,
I have decided to leak, is that the word?
Yeah, onto this free feed,
an episode of Bonus Nancy Extravaganza.
For your enjoyment, this is an episode called We Belong to the City.
It's a kind of a roundtable featuring a vampire and a Frankenstein and a ghost and a creature
from the Black Lagoon and a Gorgon.
And they're all discussing their love of cities. This is intended to be
Dalton Wilcox's least favorite podcast of all time, but hopefully you'll enjoy it.
This little peek at all that awaits you when you sign up at patreon.com slash Andy Daly.
This is We Belong to the City. Hello and welcome ladies and gentlemen to We Belong to the City, a new podcast devoted
to the appreciation of and discussion of the world's greatest cities, cities all
around the globe, cities, cities. And my name is Count Andlok and I am, as you may
know, I am a vampire. And the way that this podcast came about is myself and
some of my friends were talking about how very much we love the cities of the world. Rural life is not for us. And so, and we thought
we would do a podcast where each episode will have a different discussion about a
different city. And so I'd like to introduce you to the people who are part
of that conversation to begin with. And we'll be here joining our podcast every week.
First off, I'd like to introduce you
to my dear friend Acacia.
So it's great to be here.
Now Acacia, this is an audio medium and people can't see us.
Why don't you explain?
Best that they don't look at me.
I'll turn them to stone.
That's right.
If anyone ever looks at Acassio, they will turn to us as a stone.
Because Acassio, you are a Gorgon, are you not?
Yes. because, Akasia, you are a Gorgon, are you not? Yes, most people when they think of a Gorgon think of Medusa.
Yes.
But I'm Akasia, and I like to hang out at the Greek theater.
Oh, you do?
Yes.
Well, yes, I should say this is our inaugural episode of the podcast.
We'll focus in on our love of Los Angeles, California.
And that's where, is that what you say,
it's a bit early to get into our favorite parts
of Los Angeles, but the Greek theater,
is that one of yours?
It's where I live, it's where I call my home.
You do, you live in the Greek theater?
Yes, in the little catacombs.
Oh, I did not know there were catacombs.
Nobody does, because if they found me down there, they'd be turned to st-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t That's all. Very good. And sitting next to you is...
Frankenstein.
Ah!
Hello.
Hello. Hello, Frankenstein. And by the way...
Technically, Frankenstein's monster.
Here we go.
Here we go. We go through this, it seems, every time we speak. You are a monster who was made...
Technically creation.
Monster hurtful word.
Oh, really?
So you're correcting even yourself at this point.
There was a moment ago you told us you were Frankenstein's monster.
Name given by Frankenstein.
Not my choice. Dr. Frankenstein called you a Name given by Frankenstein. Not my choice.
Dr. Frankenstein called you a monster, did he?
Hmm, doctor, air quotes.
No, no, he didn't.
Look me, doctor, do this.
Hmm.
You want me to look at you?
No.
Okay, be careful.
That's the last thing you need, isn't it,
to be turned to stone?
I love farmers markets.
You do? Well again, it's a bit early to talk already about our favorite things about Los Angeles.
We haven't introduced entire panelists yet.
But just to get things straight, what is it that you would like us to call you in a perfect world?
Did Dr. Frankenstein not give you a name?
Hmm, maybe Avery?
You just came up with that now.
So, I like how it sounds.
Like how it sounds, all right, very good.
Then Frankenstein's creature will be known
henceforth as the Avery.
And sitting next to Avery, or really I should say,
hovering in the space around us, hello Mary!
Hello. I didn't think you would bother to talk to me at all.
I'm just a ghost.
Of course we'll talk to you. We can see you, you know.
And I can see you. I can see through your clothes.
Oh, please don't.
That's something a ghost can do. You didn't know that.
I did not know that ghosts can see through our clothes.
What?
Yes, ghosts can see through clothes, Avery, evidently.
Why are you only telling us now? I've known you for years.
I didn't want to tell you because you've got poop on your underwear.
I didn't want to embarrass you.
Oh my goodness.
I wish you had told me sooner.
You know, I do see people sort of turn up their noses a bit when I walk in the room.
Listen, I don't want to talk about my underpants.
Cut all this.
What am I engaging in a discussion of my underpants?
I'm an immortal count. Filled with underpants. Cut all this. What am I engaging in a discussion of my underpants? I'm an immortal count. Filled with shitpants. Poopypants. Stop it. Stop it all of you. What stinks?
All right. You should start a Got Milk campaign except for yours is what stinks.
You should start a Got Milk campaign except for yours is What Stinks.
I won't be doing that and I don't know what I would be advertising at all. It's a bad idea. Underwear.
I will not be advertising.
It could be a picture of you instead of a milk mustache. You could have a brown
smear above your lip.
Who would what?
What Stinks.
Mary, I think your idea is a bad one. Now, Mary.
No bad ideas brainstorming. Thanks. Mary, I think your idea is a bad one. Now Mary.
No bad ideas brainstorming.
We're not brainstorming.
We're creating the audio content for people to enjoy
and listen to.
Just a bunch of monsters talking about our favorite cities.
Now Mary, you are a ghost, yes?
Yes.
You lived as a mortal person at some time, yes?
Yes, but now I'm a ghost.
Isn't it obvious when I do this? La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la Look at my style, it doesn't tell me I'm a swagger, I'm on the next ship now. That's it! Wow, look at that!
That's the Black-Eyed Peas!
It is the Black-Eyed Peas! I don't know their names.
You've got some Black-Eyed Peas in your underwear!
Oh, stop it! Stop it, we're not talking about your eye!
We're not talking about my underwear!
You saw 2000 and late. That you.
I don't guess it. Exactly.
You understand that, Rapunzel?
Yes, it's the black-eyed peas.
Mary, when did you live?
In the 16th century.
Yes, the 16th century. And why are you condemned to roam the earth as a guest?
I don't know. The fate did not befall anyone else in my family, but I died of dysentery.
Oh, dysentery.
Oh, so you know a little something about shit in your pants.
Exactly. Did I not tell you I've got shit in mine as well?
No, you didn't.
Maybe Mary put her shit in you pants.
Stop it!
Yes, I've possessed you with poop in your panties.
This is going to make it into the broadcast. We're not here to talk about poopy pants.
Now I'd like to introduce you to our final guest,
my dear friend here splashing around in the tank,
Steven, who is a creature from the Black Lagoon.
Hello, it's wonderful to be here everybody.
Avery, we're going with Avery now.
That me, hi.
Oh, hey, I'm, anyway, I love Los Angeles.
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready,
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready,
carry on.
I'm only catching every third word at this point.
Him, great host.
Me like him.
No, he's not the host.
He's just another one of the guests, I'm obvious.
Make him be the host.
No, he won't be the host at all.
He's wa-
I'm gonna be the host?
What does it take to host a podcast?
Come again?
What?
I don't know.
What does it take to host a podcast?
I just don't know.
How about this?
Wait, wait, wait.
Guys, better help is a really terrible way to get in touch with a therapist.
Just call up better help is rubbish.
Doesn't that hurt you to do that?
Not at all.
I'm a preacher of...
Why would it hurt for me to talk?
All right. We're not doing any live host reads of ads.
Oh, Acacia has left us briefly.
Is everything all right, Acacia?
A ghostly sound was heard in the other room.
That was me. He-he-he.
Oh, you devil.
Because I type of dysentery, I can control everyone's undies and everyone's toilet
and that's why I made a splash in the toilet in the other room just then.
Wonderful, wonderful.
Mary, how old were you when you died of dysentery?
I was only nine years old.
And your sensibility it seems, your personality is locked in at that age isn't it?
And it seems your personality is locked in on whatever this kind of thing you decided to be.
What? She's got you bloody pants.
Snap! Snap! Both barrels!
I was just going to say that that's not true of me. I have been alive since also the no the
1600s which is the 17th century.
Isn't that weird how they do that?
I do it is awfully confusing isn't it?
Why not just make it Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday every week?
Exactly. 20th Century Fox?
What is that? 1995?
What?
Have they changed the name of the company to 21st Century Fox?
Haven't they?
Good idea.
Well, I can tell you I'm a realtor at 20th Century Realty. Haven't they? Haven't they? Haven't they? Good idea. What?
Well, I can tell you I'm a realtor at 20th Century Realty.
Oh.
Yeah.
Me looking for a bachelor.
I was fired on Y2K because we couldn't go forward into the 21st century with a name
like that.
Is there a bit of a sprinkler effect happening in your mouth?
It's a rain bird sprinkler, yes.
Now you do have snakes for hair, is that true?
Nice of you to finally notice.
I'm sorry.
Jesus Christ, I had them all done up in an updo and they've been, you know, confined up
there.
They're not happy about it.
It's like Amy Winehouse, but monster.
Yes. I'm happy about it. It like Amy Winehouse but monster. Yes, yes.
And I shoot a bow and arrow and I kill anybody that comes into a maze or something shit.
You shoot a bow and arrow as well as having snakes for hair.
That seems like a hat on hat, doesn't it? Pshh, prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr You can kill people by looking at them. Why do you need a bow and arrow? Different day, different strokes.
Range.
That's the quote, isn't it?
Range weapon versus melee. Up close versus far away.
But don't you think you could set your eyes on something very far away?
Farther than even you could shoot a bow and arrow.
You're right, you're dumb.
But I'm nearsighted. I'm not dumb, I'm nearsighted.
You need glasses.
Don't look at me.
You have to look into this mirror to see me.
I'm setting up Perseus's shield
so you can look in the reflection.
What about Sherman Oaks Galleria?
Convenient shopping plus lens crafters.
Just a moment.
We're not getting into our favorite parts
of Los Angeles.
You've skipped ahead.
We've only just introduced the panel.
DuPars. Yes, DuPars is wonderful. I agree. I love Dupas.
The Bonaventure.
Yes, yes, yes. All right.
Does anyone want to explain for the benefit of the listener?
I think we've been through our origin stories.
You've been a Gorgon since birth, have you not?
Yes, since literally the dawn of civilization.
Since the dawn of civilization is when the Gorgons,
how many Gorgons are there?
Right now or historically?
Oh.
There's even an S and I put one in there.
Right.
I suppose historically there have been many.
Well, there was the big three at first.
Yes.
Of course you know them just as well as I do.
The big three.
Yeah, there was Medusa and her sisters, right?
Put your phone down and say it by heart.
Oh, sorry.
I'm just getting a call from my broker, Yuri Yale and Stheno, my sisters, her sisters.
And then those are the daughters of Forsis and Sito.
So we all, did you guys even know that?
Say the names again without reading them.
I don't want to.
I don't want to.
Good news from the broker.
Have they your clients have been pre approved for the home loan?
Oh, good, good, good.
Yes. Good. Do any of the others of you have jobs?
I'm surprised to hear the go.
I work at Trader Joe's.
Oh, you do?
What do you do at Trader Joe's?
Mainly lifting.
Oh.
Wants to be a counter, but they won't let me.
Why not?
Mm, rip off head probably.
Well, let's try a bit of a role play, you and I.
I should be the customer Trader Joe,
and you should be checking me out. And I go there all the time.
So I know just what it is that you're supposed to say and not supposed to say.
Sorry, no Jojo's.
Oh yes. Okay.
The cookies. No Jojo's this week.
You wouldn't start the conversation off that way, would you?
If I come up and I wheeled my cart up to your check out lane,
and you was just to say to me, sorry, no Jojos.
It's not hands done.
What would you say the first thing off?
How are you?
I'm very good.
Thank you.
How are you?
Have trouble finding thing?
Oh, no, I had no difficulty finding anything at all.
I was a bit disappointed that there aren't Jojos, you see.
I was a bit disappointed not to have found any Jojos on the shelf, you see.
That's how it might come up.
You see.
You're just staring at me now, a very cold stare.
But I do.
Avery, oh, that's what you do?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, okay.
Well, that wouldn't work.
Bring your own bag.
What?
Bring your own bag.
Oh, I forgot.
I always forget.
Yeah.
Oh, no, no, no.
See, Avery, that would be terrible there.
That would be awful.
There's, yes, I see why they wouldn't put you on the register.
Why you come back to Jojo's.
I thought I'd know how Jojo's.
Oh, I was just trying to give you an example
of how that might come into the conversation
as opposed to your sort of-
Three cream brie.
A bigger pardon?
Three cream brie.
Do you have those little cinnamon brooms?
You know, the scented cinnamon brooms, the holidays.
Holiday time, yes, over by front.
Many, many potted plants, too many.
I don't see the problem, he's working fine with me.
Too many potted plants, many die.
Help you, old fuck.
Why does that man smell?
Well, I am an old fuck, fair enough.
I was turned into a vampire by Vlad the Impaler himself.
I was part of a contingent of priests
that was sent there to do an exorcism.
Of course, it wasn't an exorcism situation.
He turned all of us into vampires to amuse himself.
And that's how long I've been a vampire.
And sadly, you seem to have been turned
when you were 98 years old.
Stuck in this busy old body for the rest of your life.
Tough gig.
No, it's not really.
It's just that I haven't fed in a little while.
And so I mean, I've been,
if once I have a nice, you'll see.
They're out of Jojo's.
No, no, no, that's not what I'm talking about.
As a matter of fact,
I haven't drunken the blood of a mortal.
Why?
It's just been,
it's just been a hectic time getting this all together
and I had to-
What about Steve?
Could you drink Steve?
Could I drink Steve?
You know, I forgot about Steve.
Steve, have you been a creature
from the Black Lagoon your whole life?
Of course.
You know, they turned into a creature from the Black Lagoon. I was born that way.
My parents were from the black room.
I just keep hearing one of those little door stoppers when you hit them and they go, I
don't know what else is it.
That's pretty insulting, Kasha.
Listen, I have a beautiful voice and within my community,
I am considered to be almost the James Earl Jones
of the Creature from the Black Lagoon community.
Can you sing?
Of course I can sing. What would you like to hear? Sing us the national anthem of the lagoon.
Uh oh, of the lagoon?
Yes, of the country of the lagoon.
Oh, say can't you see through the blackness of the lagoon?
Can I stop you right there?
Alright.
I thought it was oh say can you see?
But it's the anthem of the Black Lagoon.
So is it can't you see or can you see?
You can't see in the Black Lagoon
because the water is black.
Black water?
That's right.
Possibly oil reserve.
No, it's just very dark black water.
We drill Black lagoon.
Oh no, you better not.
Don't go drilling for oil.
I call my broker.
No, don't go drilling for oil in my loo.
All right.
All right, anyway, let's get to it.
You forgot to ask him if you drink his blood.
Oh, is that what he has?
I don't think I would.
Don't you think, wouldn't I... Yes. I don't think I would. Don't you think...
Wouldn't I potentially...
You don't like seafood.
I don't really.
You couldn't feast on any of us.
She's a ghost.
She's not corporeal.
Right.
He's made of old, dry parts.
There's no blood.
I don't know.
If you cut yourself, do you bleed?
Am I a prick finger?
What? Are you a prick finger? What?
Are you a prick finger?
Hmm?
What you call me?
I've got acidic blood that melts.
Oh yes, no I wouldn't drink that at all.
So lay off off limits this girl.
Oh yes fine.
You girl?
Yes, yes I'm Acacia, I'm one of the long sisters of the sister.
Say the names of your other sisters.
Ciso, Pluto, and Tubi.
Okay.
What about Quibi?
Quibi passed away a couple years ago.
I'm so sorry.
She was the first of the D'Oribio triplets to go.
Quibi, nice try.
Difficult aspect ratios.
Difficult aspect ratios.
Difficult.
Couldn't hold a conversation that one.
Jesus Christ.
Avery, do you have any recollection of your life
before becoming a creature?
Do you know what I mean?
In particular, your brain.
Yes.
Yes.
This brain, not my brain.
This brain, my brain now. Now brain, not my brain.
This brain, my brain now.
Now this brain, my brain.
Yes, this brain, your brain.
Yes, you get it.
Who was it before?
Maybe cat.
Oh, you think so?
Maybe animal.
Oh, you don't think so.
Possibly murderous, creepy dude.
But you don't remember.
Oh yes.
But you remember it in such a way that it could be a cat or a person.
Mmm.
That you're remembering.
His name David.
Oh okay.
I think that would be a strange thing to name a cat.
How did you get so big?
Are you compromised?
Me listen to so many podcasts, get confused about protein power, really start juicing,
really start getting big but scrotum so tight and hard.
So you used to be small?
But you're made of a bunch of different parts of different people?
Is that right?
Eventually.
Okay.
Yes. To the different parts? I don't know, metabolize differently.
I'm a woman.
Sometimes different parts take over.
Different parts with different strokes.
We did it again.
Beautiful.
So many classic phrases.
Well all right.
Being that this is the first episode of this podcast,
it was necessary, I think, to understand the panel
and get to know everyone.
But now let us get into the meat of our show here.
Oh.
Into the meat.
We're going to talk about Los Angeles.
What a wonderful city.
And our favorite things to do in Los Angeles.
Who'd like to start us off? Anyone like to start us off with a favorite things to do in Los Angeles. Who'd like to start us off?
Anyone like to start us off with a favorite thing to do
or go, place to go or thing to do?
I love to go to the Grove.
The Grove, the Grove is more sort of an outdoor mall.
Yes, and it's got the American Girl Doll Store.
Sometimes I go in and I possess all the doors at once.
Oh, wow.
Must be fun. It's very fun. Sometimes I go in and I possess all the doors at once. Oh! Wow.
Must be fun.
It's very fun.
Describe that from the perspective of a human who goes in there on a day when you choose
to possess the door.
Well, imagine if you will, a little girl and her mother looking through all the doors and
suddenly a door looks at you and says, fuck you.
Oh no!
Would you really do that?
That's me being naughty.
Oh that's very naughty.
You would really do that?
Yes, and then I go to the fountain and I possess the fountain,
which is previously a still water pond,
and I make the water go cuckoo bananas.
You're kidding, because when I've been there,
yes, the water is shooting up out of the water.
That's your do?
And then I take over the speakers and I play Frank Sinatra.
That's you?
That's me!
He's great, he's great.
You make it snow at Christmas time?
Yes.
Oh, you great.
And I create the group illusion of the gingerbread house.
That's not there, that's me fucking with your noodle.
They're not really building a gingerbread house there as a Christmas sign?
No, I create a mass illusion.
Oh, do you have anything to do with Mario Lopez
and there was an entertainment tonight
they broadcast from there as extra.
Extra, right, that's it.
I don't know.
Oh, does this answer your question?
Yes.
Extra, extra.
Oh, you're really galoshes.
It doesn't answer my question.
I sing in a ghostly tune, and I take, I possess Mario Lopez's body.
You do?
Yes.
Oh my, I had no idea you were so involved with everything going on at the Grove.
Everything you see at the Grove.
I'm Mary Arclight.
Uh, is that the theatre that's there?
Oh no, I don't think so.
I think the Arclight went out of business.
Well, back in the 16th century, it was,
there was an Arclight in the Grove.
Was there?
I think it's an AMC now, darling, an AMC.
Oh, Mary's choices.
Have you seen, what?
Have you seen?
AMC.
You understand?
Have you seen the film The Others with Nicole Kidman, who does a wonderful little entry?
I've seen The Other Sister with Juliette Lewis. Does that count?
I don't think it does.
I've seen Sister Sister with Tia Lowry and Twin Sister Tamara Lowry and Quibi.
I've seen Baby Girl.
Oh, you have?
Yes, yes.
Nicole Kidman? Do you always check out the. Oh, you have? Yes, yes. Nicole Kidman.
Do you always check out the films when you're there?
I always do.
Wonderful.
What were you going to say about the others?
What?
The others?
That's it.
Well, never mind.
I don't want to give away the ending of the others if you haven't seen it.
Ghosts, they are ghosts.
Oh, Frankenstein!
Don't give away the ending of movies!
Terrible movie.
Terrible.
It's a very good movie.
Terrible.
All about ghosts.
No Frankensteins.
Much better if Nicole Kidman suddenly go,
we all Frankensteins.
They took down the curtains.
We all Frankensteins.
Much better movie.
Now I don't need to watch the others.
It would have been impossible to have the misdirect for all that time.
Wouldn't it have been obvious to the viewer from the beginning that it was...
Better surprise than dumb Nicole Kidman ghost.
I don't agree. Is it alright to disagree with you?
You're making him bust through his Hawaiian Trader Joe's shirt.
The buttons are going flying.
Oh, now I have to get new weight belts from back room.
You wear one of those weight belts, you know.
Got to support Lombard region.
Yes, of course.
Frozen croissant, very heavy.
What's the national anthem of the Lombard region?
Oh, say can't you see?
And so on.
Yes, you can't really see your own lumbar, can you?
Anyway, Frankenstein, Avery,
what is your favorite thing to do,
place to go in Los Angeles?
Well, LA Connection, very popular.
What is that?
Oh, comedy theater on Magnolia in the Valley area. I've never heard of it. No one has. It's a comedy theater on Magnolia in the valley area.
I've never heard of it.
No one has.
It's a comedy theater?
I guess.
I drive by many times.
Never been.
You haven't been inside?
Think I should probably.
Never go.
It's your favorite thing to do in Los Angeles?
Uh, um, Ralph's.
But you work at Trader Joe's.
Yes, but I...
I... brand loyalty.
Must have Coca-Cola.
Must have Jack Dan... you know, name brand.
Certain things they just don't carry at Trader Joe's.
Mm-hmm.
Why won't they get Ziploc bags at Trader Joe's?
Oh, I think plastic very bad for environment.
Oh, for heaven's sake.
But sometimes you'll have to put something in a ziplock bag, don't you?
But Trader Joe's offers little pieces of wax that you can fold around and squeeze the wax together
and it will certainly hold in your watery snacks.
I haven't tried that. I haven't tried it.
You've never made a blood sack to go?
No, but that's what I'm using the ziplock bags for.
I have a little ziplock of human blood. Take it with me on the road.
You should have some now.
You're looking very old and weary.
I'll be fine.
You sure you want maybe just eat baby real quick,
get some juice?
I would love to eat a baby,
but I want to go through the,
I think I'll be fine getting through the road.
No, at least go and rip through the sanitary boxes in the women's bathroom.
Oh, you freak.
You are a freak. I've seen you do this.
You freak, old man.
That's not something we talk about, darling.
We vampires, yes of course we do that.
We don't really talk about it.
You shit ass, eat, use tampon.
Yes, we do.
Vampire lollipop.
We really don't talk about it as you know.
Vampires, we try so hard to seem sexy and a lot of people think there's a turn off going
through the trash in the women's room.
Yeah.
Yeah, you think?
I do.
I do think so, yes.
But anyway.
Everybody think you sexy, you not. Not now, but just you wait until I have a bit of blood in me.
You'll see. You'll see how sexy I can be.
Now, what's Ralph's and the L.A.
Connections comedy club that you haven't been to?
Also Flappers Burbank.
You're a big comedy fan.
And I hit up the John Lovitz Comedy Club.
Oh, City Walk and Gone. But what a time. You're a big comedy fan at Citiwok. And I hit up the John Lovitz Comedy Club at Citiwok.
It'd be gone, but what a time.
Montego, understand Citiwok have big candy store, lots of gum.
What is the gigantic chocolate restaurant at the Citiwok?
Does anyone know?
Chocolate restaurant?
Chocolate restaurant?
Apparently. You don't know this?
It's sort of a steampunk...
Is it open yet?
I think it's open.
And they serve just chocolate?
Are you thinking of the M&M's store?
Jekyll and Hyde's from New York?
No, I know what an M&M is.
I know Jekyll and Hyde personally, and they are furious with that restaurant.
The original pronouns.
The original pronouns?
Jekyll slash Hyde.
The they.
The slash they.
If you say so. But they're very angry about that restaurant. You know,
they don't get a dime from it. Did you know that?
Not a penny. Anyway, where was I?
At the CityWall, they've got a new restaurant.
I don't know what it's called, but it has a Willy Wonka aesthetic, a steampunk aesthetic,
and it is all about chocolate.
Haven't been in there.
None of you know what I'm talking about.
Oh, this is a fun segment for the show.
Let's all go around and say the name of a place we've never been in and we're not sure
the name of.
All right.
Atlanta.
Uh... listen up.
New Bork City?
I'm taking a lot of shit here.
Well, you give a lot of shit,
you might as well talk about it.
Oh my god.
You stink.
You do spew.
Every single reference to my underpants
will be excised from this podcast,
so don't bring it up anymore.
The only excise you've gotten in a while, I guess.
It's not, it was an exercise.
I wish the smell would be excised from this podcast.
Get it out, get it out of your system.
How about everyone, oh, everyone have some sport
with my underpants.
All at once, get it out of your system.
You stink, you're old, you're out of shape.
I can smell it underwater.
It's horrible.
Oh shit, Steve coming for the king.
All right, now, Cassio, do you have a favorite place
and thing to do?
I'm a bit more of a Grove girl, no offense, girly.
She said the Grove.
No, she said the, oh, I'm sorry, I'm in the Americana.
Oh yes. She goes to the Grove to get American girls. I'm in the Americana. Oh, yes.
She goes to the Grove to get American girls.
I go to the Americana to get Grove girls.
And what does that mean?
Listen, I don't know everything I say, okay?
Look, you know she a woman?
I did know she was a woman.
I'm all woman.
Her top fell open one time that we were hanging out on Mulholland Drive.
You look in my eyes, you turn to stone,
you look at my hooters, you turn on.
Yes.
Is your pubic hair snakes as well?
Yeah, but they're little eels.
Little gardener snakes.
They're little eels.
You know, I've never asked you that
in all the time I've known her.
What a good question.
Little eels.
Little eels down there.
Just a thatch of little eels.
But of course you have six teeths, don't you?
Anyway. On a good day.
I like to go to the Americana, turn people into stone.
Yes. Sometimes I like to go to quarries to turn stone into people.
Oh, I didn't know you could do that. You could do it.
Me want to have conversation with stone now sentient.
What stone say?
Ask them. Oh, can you do now? Yes.
Do to statue. Take statue to life.
OK, David. First of all, nice rack.
Nice man rack.
This little nice little rooster.
Yes, of course, I have a statue of David.
It's only a replica, but I do have a statue of David here in my home.
Ibraca, Deborah come to life. I do have a statue of David here in my home. Ibracadabra, come to life.
Why not have a snakily wife?
Oh, I didn't know you had to say
a little rhyming thing as well.
I thought it was just me.
You wizard now or who get it?
Yeah, I can't talk.
Not to turn people to stone,
but then to get them from stone to stone.
Oh, just rhyme for human.
It's not a spell, it's a poem.
Why have you brought me to life? David, wow, I never imagined you with that voice. I think of you as a young man. Just rhyme for you. It's not a it's not a spell. It's a poem
David wow, I never imagined you with that voice. I think of you as a young man
Oh you think you're just marble but no you've been
Anthropomorphized and I made a spell on you and I turn you to person why
Here whenever you're ready to go back, just look at my eyes.
And that percentage,
I didn't want the burden of being sentient.
David not happy.
No, he really did not want to be an intelligent creature.
How strange.
I have plans this summer to go to Mount Rushmore
and make two of the four alive.
Be careful.
David sound like no soul very troubling for him.
Can you relate to that at all, Avery?
Me say this, when David say what you done me,
he hear me say that.
That's what me said and all that.
Did you say that as well, Mary? When you became a ghost? That's what me said. And all that. Did you say that as well, Mary?
When you became a ghost?
That's what she said?
That's not what I said.
Oh, what did you say?
I'm saying...
What did you say?
When you became a ghost, did you curse the heavens?
Why? Why am I condemned to live as a spirit?
Oh, no, I felt quite lucky.
My dead mother and father just went straight
to hell and I got to stay around. Why did they go to hell? They were perverts. Oh boy.
We were going to take the Mayflower over to the Grove but they wouldn't let them on because they
do touching and all sorts of bad stuff so we took a little three-man tugboat. Oh, who were the others?
Me and my parents, you fools.
Oh, I see.
Just the three of you went all the way over to America?
Yes, in a tugboat.
They touching each other on boats?
Oh, yes.
But that parents, so that natural love,
they showing you healthy love relationship.
Oh, I suppose you're right.
Did they touch the boat?
They did touch the boat.
There you go.
Oh, yeah, that's great.
Are you sure perverts go to hell?
Are you worried?
You seem awfully scared.
You're shaking.
So it doesn't stop at the tampon lollipop.
I didn't mean to ask in that tone. I'll ask in a more assured tone.
Are you sure perverts go to hell?
No, it doesn't read that way.
No, really?
Well, you got Oh, well.
Oh, well. You got tampon mustache.
I do not. For the listeners, I absolutely do. Of course, I can't look in the mirror and check for myself.
I don't show up in the mirror.
Oh, so you can't see. You could never see me. What?
No. If you don't look in the mirror, you can't. Wait, I can see you in the mirror. He doesn't show up. You can't see, you could never see me. What? No. If you don't look in the mirror, you can't, wait.
I can see you in the mirror.
He doesn't show up in the mirror.
You can't see me in the mirror.
Oh, I can't see you.
See that? Isn't that interesting?
How do I know you're so ugly?
You know you woman.
Huh?
No, come on.
With this voice?
Akasha, is it true that you turned Rick Caruso's family to stone?
They are there, you know, rendered in stone
next to the pond at the Americana.
A warning.
What? A warning.
Yeah, why?
To all who gaze upon you.
Yes. Right?
Yes. Yes, I understood.
Yeah, he just pissed me off because, you know.
Rick Caruso, the father of the Grove and of the Americana.
LA's true mayor.
Yes, yes, he is our mayor in exile.
I'm from Greece, the original democracy,
so I'm a capital D Democrat, of course.
He's a Republican and I had to turn him to stone.
Oh, yes.
His children as well.
Yes, they're even more right-wing than he is.
I've not seen the statue of the little children.
Yes, let's just hope it's not quite accurate.
In other words, it's difficult to look at.
Look, it's not my best work.
I call them like I see them.
Well, they may have just been frozen in a very unflattering expression at the time.
What, like they're in funny position?
No, no, no. It's just their facial features. very unflattering expression at the time. What, like they're in funny position?
No, no, no, it's just the facial features.
You don't want to dwell on them.
Oh, oh.
Anyway, you body shaming Caruso children?
Face shaming, it's very different.
There's nothing wrong with that, right?
You have to face shame children then.
I do. Oh, yes, all the time.
Is that your pervert kink?
No, I haven't one oh yes, all the time. Is that your pervert kink?
No, I haven't one.
Now, I cast you, hmm?
Nothing.
What do you like to do with the Americana?
Oh, uh...
In addition to turning people to stone,
they've got wonderful stores there, haven't they?
Sur La Taub.
Oh yes, you can go.
Cupcake Machine.
Cupcake Machine, Apple Store.
Yes.
Uh... Trolley.
AMC. All my,
All Mary's choices.
Exactly. Thank you.
I tell you, as a creature of the night,
the novelty of the 24 hour cupcake ATM
has not worn off for me.
I never get enough of it.
Do you know about the...
Do you get red velvet?
I do, yes.
I love a red velvet cupcake. People think it's a misconception
that we can't eat regular food, you know?
Well, red velvet is dyed with human blood, I've heard.
Oh, well, maybe that explains it.
Do you like blood oranges? Tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss, tss,. Yeah, I know, but it doesn't really taste like blood. What about something I call blood sandwich?
You eat that?
What is a blood sandwich?
I don't know, it just got blood in name,
so you eat, right?
If you were in the 80s in South Central LA,
would you be a blood and not a crib?
I think I'd have to be a blood, yes, absolutely.
I will associate myself with that word.
My favorite thing to do in LA, gentlemen.
Yes? Since we asked. with that word. My favorite thing to do in LA, gentlemen.
Since we asked. LA nights, LA Zoo nights.
Oh, you've been to the zoo at night.
That's too terrible.
Why do you say that zoo is terrible?
You must walk uphill for a mile every direction.
It is an uphill zoo.
That's true. They have a little shuttle, you know, a little pedestrian shuttle.
Frankenstein have carppal Tunnel.
Why does that prevent you from getting on the shuttle?
He walks on all fours.
What?
My feet, actually, hands.
Oh.
Dr. Frankenstein, not good.
Oh, that's a shame, I didn't know that.
Yes, hard to walk, planters warts.
Very difficult.
Why did he put hands at the bottom of your legs like that?
He not funny. He think he funny. He not funny.
What do you have for hands?
Hands.
Uh oh.
And hands for feet as well?
Yes.
As a joke. You think he really meant it as a joke?
He think he funny. He do voices around lab. Not good.
Really?
Like what?
Aye, y'all think it time to build a monster?
I don't get it. He not from south.
But is he still alive?
Ooh, maybe we find him. Turn him into monster.
I don't know. I think he's got to be dead by now.
It's quite a while ago, isn't it,
that you would turn, you became a creature?
Yes. I may have ripped his head off.
Oh. And now, what do you mean you may have? Did you rip his head off or not?
Mmm, you got me!
You cheeky!
How terrible. The LA Zoo nights.
Oh, God.
If you love to go to a zoo, but don't want to see animals, this is for you.
The animals are asleep.
There's not a one that you can see.
They're locked away in their little cubbies.
Is that true?
Yeah, or owls.
No, even the nocturnal animals are locked away from public view during the LA.
Can you climb in pan?
Yes, but it's not encouraged. They don't make it easy, in other words.
But what they have is lights.
Oh, the lights.
Anyway, so that's a good one, but it's seasonal.
The other thing I like to do and it's year-round.
Do you know the Sierra Club sponsors evening hikes in Griffith Park?
It's wonderful.
It's tough for me to hike.
I have, you know, like a lizard lower body like a slither.
Yes, I wouldn't recommend it for a lizard body.
No, not all you body.
Huh? That you body that all you body that sneaky bottom.
That's just all my body.
That's my favorite part of your body.
Take it easy. Steve, we do.
We don't Steve. We don't comment on other people.
Hey, Steve, watch it.
I don't mind. Oh, he knows I'm a woman.
I think Steve, too.
He's the only one that knows I'm a woman.
Treats me like a woman.
But if they were part of the law, I said,
I was a little bit of a river.
That's really coming back.
There are certain areas there wildlife has what they're doing.
What I say there are certain areas of the river that wildlife has.
Maybe it's because my first language is Greek.
I don't I don't know.
Steve, have you ever been to Free Willy World?
Oh, Sea World?
Yes.
Hell and sea.
Yes.
I have been there.
Do you ever slop yourself around in the water and put on a show?
I was once the prisoner of a traveling circus.
I was not there by my own choice.
Shape of water.
I haven't seen shape of water.
Don't you know that she has sex,
human has sex with him.
Well, that's no big deal.
Have you had sex with many human women?
You better believe it.
Oh, picks or it no happened. Dish. Dish.
Oh man, I don't like to be honest with you, I know it sounds crazy, but I don't like to
have sex with other creatures from the Black Lagoon. I'm all about those humans!
So is it like then you are like a male mermaid for them, calling to them from the slimy black lagoon? about those hererrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr with a wire. He's generally really not a steady gal.
Oh, no, no.
Wow.
She's very unstable.
Only one leg.
I'll tell you the girl.
Oh, he has one leg.
Oh, sorry.
What?
Excuse me.
If there's a girl that only has one leg.
Oh, fuck. Excuse me? If there's a girl that only has one leg, oh fuck her!
Oh gosh, Mick!
Well that was clear.
Awful.
Maybe we won't have him, Mick.
Oh, so you agree it does hurt your voice?
Whose voice is hurt? No one's voice is hurt.
Someone's chugging water over there.
Steve, talk now!. Steve talk now.
Steve talk now.
I want you and what's Captain Archibald?
What's the Valentine?
The vampire?
Count Antlok.
Count Antlok and Steve, I want you guys to sing same thing in unison.
The same thing in unison water.
Harmonize the national anthem together.
While drinking water?
Oh, can you read by the door?
Retreating words, what is going on?
That sounded extremely painful.
So weird.
I don't think it hurts, but it's pain in the ass.
Now, anything else?
Yes, the night.
You've seen Nosferatu? I have not seen Nosferatu. Oh, you should anything else, yes, the night. You see Nosferatu?

Oh, extreme.
He got like half extreme hair.
Yeah.
Plus fuzzy push broom.
Yeah.
Mustache.
A lot of commentary about mustache on the vampire.
It seemed like that their only idea.
Hmm.
Oh, oh yes.
Dude, do vampires not often have mustaches?
Is it true?
Can't, couldn't grow one to save my life.
Really?
Yes.
Why?
I don't know, something, you never see a vampire with facial hair.
Absolutely never.
Why? What about just mustache that start at ends of mouth and go down fuman chew. Can you say that?
No, but you will sometimes see can I say it?
Can you Steve can you say fuman chew?
Literally it was teed up, but I still can't.
I'm sure he said Fu Manchu.
Don't you think? At least he tried.
Oh my God.
Say Raleigh Fingers.
Say what?
Raleigh Fingers.
Steve, say Raleigh Fingers.
Yes, can you say Raleigh Fingers?
Raleigh Fingers.
Say anti-disestablishmentarianism.
Oh, Jesus.
Raleigh Fingers. Oh, Jesus, not the press. Do you want a Hertz donut?
What's a Hertz donut?
I can't even do the joke because I can't understand what you're saying.
I don't get it.
I love jokes. What is it? What am I supposed to say?
Yes, I want a Hertz donut. What's the joke?
He won't understand it. We'll have to give you up,nut. What's the joke? He won't understand it.

Would you fuck a dog with one leg?
Sure.
A limp dick says what?

This is really not fair.
It's a bit like if I make shooting fish in a barrel.
We dog piling on Steve.
Yes, he's not really, you know, he's under the water most of the time.
You know, I can't understand him.
It might be a you thing, really.
All right. You have have snakes in ears.
Uh oh.
E.
Well, does anyone have anything they want to plug?
Oh, the night hikes, the Sierra Club night hikes.
You've really got to go.
You meet at the carousel and hike all the way up Mount Hollywood.
And if someone on the hike, you know, doesn't make it back down, no one notices.
No one notices ever, ever.
It's never happened once. Not even one time. Yes. Group question.
Yes. Everyone like murder. Yes, of course.
Yeah. But I actually, I accidentally kill people.
I just bring them down to my lair and they can't breathe down there.
That's so sad, it's the opposite of the Little Mermaid.
Yes, is it? Is it the opposite?
You take a lady who walks on land.
Yes.
You promise her love.
Yes. You bring her underwater and she drowns. Right, yes, it's the opposite of Little Mermaid. The lady who walks on land, you promise her love.
You bring her underwater and she drowns.
Right, yes, it's the opposite little mermaid.

Well, you have.
What? You did?
The groom!
This is my impression of you.
Oh, the night hikes, the night zoo.
It's a terrible impression.
It doesn't sound anything like it at all.

You weren't even listening.
The lights are on.
I am.
And this is the first episode of this podcast.
You're important, buddy.
That's what you sound like.
What?
That's not what I sound like at all.
I said the lights are on, not that they're off.
Oh, that makes it more exciting.
Okay, I'll do it again.
The lights are on.
There you go.
And the animals are asleep.
Exactly.
That's fine.
All right.
I eat tampons from the garbage.
Stop it.
The shit in my pants.
Not putting any of that in.
You've got an opportunity to talk about your favorite thing in Los Angeles.
Of course I did.
Yes, you spoke about the group.

I'm just shitting on you.
Oh, well just stop it.
I mean, he'd do that for, you said, well, you did. I'm just shitting on you. Oh, well, just stop it.
I mean, he'd do that for himself.
Oh, yeah.
Too true.
Hey-o!

You can't give high fives.
Me not Frankenstein!
Oh, sorry, Avery.
I can give high fives to people who are cool enough.

Oh.
I'm sorry to try. I will try. You can't. You have one. You have it won't work. Oh. I'm sorry to try. Let me try this.
You have one, you have all webbed fingers.
You can only give a high one.
And you're below sea level, so it's not even high.
Okay.
What?
Never mind.
Oh, I heard that, I understood that.
Now you make Steve sad.
I'm sorry, Steve.
Sorry, Steve.
It can't be easy to be a creature from the Black Lagoon.
Do fish have feelings?
You two seem to be awfully close.
Yes.
Yes, we are.
We are always defending him.
I suppose I am.
Long time companion.
It's more of a sort of a George and Lenny relationship really
between me and the creature from the Black Lagoon.
Which one's which though?
Which one's which?
I'm obviously George.
Oh, boy.
I'm the smart one here and he's the brawn.
Isn't that clear?
Steve, he's calling you dumb.
Well, I do like it when he talks about the rabbits.
As they tell about the rabbits, George.
But which one is George and which one is Elaine?
What?
Oh, Elaine.
Oh, you're just... You're more like a curly who wears one glove with Vaseline in it.
That's amazing.
Isn't that wonderful?
Newman, maybe you Newman.
Tell us.
What?
Tell us the story.
What am I supposed to tell you?
You said, have you heard that story?
It's amazing.
Of Mice and Men by John Stein, because wonderful novel.

Bang.
Ooh.
What a wonderful story. Don't spoil ending.
How rude.
You of all people.
You ruined the ending of the others.
That terrible movie.
That's a wonderful film.
The others is wonderful.
Beautiful. They're all ghosts.
I honestly have never seen that. I probably would have watched that at some point.
Is it M. Night Shyamalan?
No, is it?
No, but it might as well be.
It sounds like it is.
Yes.
What about the village?
In the end they're all just people from the village dressed as monsters.
Oh, that's right.
I guess I won't see that one.
Who are Kaiser Soze?
Uh, good question.
That's the real monster.
And he doesn't have a limp.
No, he doesn't.
Lady in the Water, that's M. Night Shyamalan.
Let's not go through spoiling the ending
of a wonderful twist ending movie.
What about the one where the plants kill everybody?
The what?
Little Shop of Horus.
The crapity. Oh, that good one. No, the M. Night Shyamalan? Little shop of horrors. The crap in it.
Oh, that good one.
No, the M. Night Shyamalan where trees.
They're happening.
They're happening.
Yeah.
Ah, the mist.
The mist, that's, I thought about being.
The beach where people get old.
Oh.
What are you talking about?
Oh, nevermind.
Sit on the toilet.
You're too busy shitting yourself.
Look, this podcast hasn't gone the way that I'd planned.
I thought we would all just really rhapsodize
about our love of Los Angeles as a city,
and then next year-
Where you get sushi in LA.
Where I get sushi in LA?
Um, Katsuya.
How many times have you ridden the Incredicoaster?
What is the Incredicoaster?
I don't even know.
You don't know this city.
What is the Incredicoaster? Are you looking forward to the You don't know this city. What is the Incredicoaster?
Are you looking forward to the new Fast and Furious
roller coaster at Universal Studios Hollywood?
I didn't know that there was one!
Where are they going to put it?
You going to get butter beer?
Do you like liquid or slushy?
I do like the butter beer. I get the slushy kind.
Have you ever curled up in a ball in the o of the Hollywood sign?

You ever rip off head of child and throw through Randy's doughnut hole?
Exactly.
No, I never have done that.
You have not lived?
Ever gone paintballing?
No, I've never gone paintballing.
Why would I?
LA exclusive special thing.
Yes, you wouldn't know.
No, never been. Have you guys ever been to the Magic Castle? Oh the Magic Castle

Fucking loser. This two animals. Mary really turn on you now
What kind of friend is a friend you can't brunch with?
Yes, I can't go to brunch that's true. Blue Jam Cafe good on Ventura
Flaky French toast. Would you all like to go to Blue Jam after this?
Can we go after sunset?
No, unfortunately, Blue. We can come as early as 3pm.
Yeah, what did you want to eat?
Drunch?
My god.
Fucking idiot.
Why don't you move to Alaska
where the sun never sleeps or whatever it is?
Because I love cities.
That's why Anchorage really doesn't fit the bill,
my view.
What about Finland?
Fine.
That country?
If not, if you're doing it right.
Why don't you go to the lost city of Atlantis and the sun won't shine there and you can
be with your boyfriend Steve.
Lost city of Atlantis is a bummer.
It really never bounce back from COVID.
It's a bubble?
He says it's a bummer, I believe, not a bubble.
Have him say it.
All right, say it again.
It's a bummer.
I'm hearing bubble.
A bummer, I heard bummer.
We're all hearing bubble.

A bummer.
A bubble.
No, it is a rubber.

Well, everyone, what city should we talk about next time?
Does anyone have a nominator city to discuss the next time
we get together for Atlantis?
No, we're not going to discuss the last city.
Only one of us can go there.
Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
What?
Last city of Z.
Edmonton, Alberta.
What?
Edmonton, Alberta?
I mean, is that a happening city?
Oh, yes.
Oh, really? All right. I thought we'd start with sort of the big ones, you know, the sort
of the, you know, the centers of culture and finance.
Atlanta.
Yes.
Something like Paris and Rome and London.
Not familiar.
Pennsylvania.
Tokyo.
Athens.
Yes. Well, there's lots of nominees.
But we haven't settled on one.
Have we settled on one? Do we need to vote?
Do we all get to go?
You paying for this? This expensive world trip?
Frankenstein not made out of Krugerrand.
Tough for me to get on a plane, to be honest.
I really thought we'd all go and meet there.
If there's any place that has an American Girl doll store, I can just snap my fingers
and possess one of them.
Oh, you can.
But then I'll have to join you around town just as a doll, which I'm sure you're used
to looking like a pervert.
Oh my god.
Shouldn't be an issue.
Oh my god.
Yes.
Well, fine.
We'll go to some place where there's an American girl doll store.
Do you think there is one in Tokyo?
I'm sure there is, right?
Maybe we check website and find corporate headquarters, get to her.
Exactly, good idea.
American girl corporate headquarters.
Careful, you'll be flagged for Googling that.
You can't Google just children toy?
I just know that the police are watching.
That problem with me.
They always watching.
I know.
I'm sorry.
They profile me.
Just because I'm murdered.
Wisconsin.
That's where the American girls all headquartered themselves.
Eau Claire?
No wait.
Sorry.
That's weird.
It said Wisconsin and then refreshed and AI overview says American girls corporate headquarters Yes. Eau Claire? No, wait. Sorry. That's weird.
It said Wisconsin and then refreshed and AI overview says American Girls Corporate Headquarters
are located in El Segundo, California.
Ooh, nearby.
Perfect.
But El Segundo is for the Segundo.
Oh, it is.
But it's not really a city, is it?
That's where we'll go next.
Hold on.
American Girl Closing Middleton Headquarters.
Oh, wow.
This I'm getting a lot of.
So they moved to El Segundo.
I mean, is it really, is this really what we're going to do?
We're gonna go to the corporate headquarters
of the American Girl.
We put it behind second Patreon wall.
Okay.
And we'll all go for brunch and you can wait in the hotel.
Yeah.
We bring you porridge, what you eat.
I drink blood and I'm going to do it right now,
and then you'll see how sexy I am.
Does anyone have anything they want to plug?
Real quick, who's got anything to plug?
My fist in your mouth.
Nice.
Yeah.
That works for me.
All right, fine. I'm doing a set of flappers on, um... That works for me.
All right, fine.

All right, fine.
And we won't heckle.
You know, I am a vampire.
I just hope tonight you don't think I suck.
You know, I do things like,
