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
Starting point is 00:02:27 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.
Starting point is 00:03:16 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?
Starting point is 00:03:43 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,
Starting point is 00:04:09 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...
Starting point is 00:04:46 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.
Starting point is 00:05:11 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.
Starting point is 00:05:33 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?
Starting point is 00:05:45 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.
Starting point is 00:06:18 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.
Starting point is 00:06:43 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.
Starting point is 00:07:07 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?
Starting point is 00:07:38 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.
Starting point is 00:08:02 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?
Starting point is 00:08:22 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!
Starting point is 00:08:56 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?
Starting point is 00:09:19 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.
Starting point is 00:09:41 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.
Starting point is 00:10:11 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.
Starting point is 00:10:29 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.
Starting point is 00:10:40 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.
Starting point is 00:11:01 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.
Starting point is 00:11:22 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.
Starting point is 00:11:48 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?
Starting point is 00:12:13 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.
Starting point is 00:12:30 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.
Starting point is 00:12:54 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.
Starting point is 00:13:25 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.
Starting point is 00:13:43 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
Starting point is 00:13:59 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.
Starting point is 00:14:16 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.
Starting point is 00:14:35 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.
Starting point is 00:14:51 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?
Starting point is 00:15:17 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.
Starting point is 00:15:30 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.
Starting point is 00:15:53 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?
Starting point is 00:16:14 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.
Starting point is 00:16:34 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.
Starting point is 00:16:49 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.
Starting point is 00:16:59 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?
Starting point is 00:17:13 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.
Starting point is 00:17:32 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.
Starting point is 00:17:54 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.
Starting point is 00:18:10 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-
Starting point is 00:18:25 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.
Starting point is 00:18:47 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?
Starting point is 00:19:22 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.
Starting point is 00:19:48 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.
Starting point is 00:20:06 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?
Starting point is 00:20:22 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.
Starting point is 00:20:33 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?
Starting point is 00:20:46 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.
Starting point is 00:21:05 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.
Starting point is 00:21:21 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?
Starting point is 00:21:38 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.
Starting point is 00:21:50 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.
Starting point is 00:22:07 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?
Starting point is 00:22:20 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.
Starting point is 00:22:44 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.
Starting point is 00:23:04 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.
Starting point is 00:23:20 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.
Starting point is 00:23:42 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.
Starting point is 00:24:03 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.
Starting point is 00:24:17 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?
Starting point is 00:24:31 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
Starting point is 00:24:53 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.
Starting point is 00:25:06 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.
Starting point is 00:25:23 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?
Starting point is 00:25:39 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?
Starting point is 00:26:03 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?
Starting point is 00:26:14 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.
Starting point is 00:26:23 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.
Starting point is 00:26:39 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.
Starting point is 00:27:05 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.

Starting point is 00:28:15 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.
Starting point is 00:28:36 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?
Starting point is 00:28:55 I would love to eat a baby, but I want to go through the, I think I'll be fine getting through the road.

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.
Starting point is 00:29:37 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.

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?
