The syringe is in my hand. I am showing it to four new employees, teaching them how to extract memories to make delicious pizza toppings. In two minutes, the syringe falls from my grasp as I push one of the teens into an oven for blaspheming against the papa. In ten minutes, the syringe plunges into my skull and my memory of the last ten minutes is extracted from my mind. It is forty years ago. I am four years old. My father, a watchmaker, tells me that Papa John's army is invading our village. I hear their trumpets blaring. maker tells me that Papa John's army is invading our village. I hear their trumpets blaring. In fear, I shit my pants. It is ten years ago. I am four years old. My father, a vegan, sings as a mariachi band plays Feliz Cumpleaños. I hear their trumpets blaring. I shit my pants again.

In Papa John's kitchen, I am extracting a memory from the teenage boy I shoved into the oven. In the syringe, I see him shitting his pants as a mariachi band plays. It is 30 years ago. I am 14 years old, kneeling before the papa. His ceremonial breadstick touches my shoulder and I ascend to the rank of shift manager. I hear the trumpets blaring. In Papa John's kitchen, four teens shove a wad of pizza dough down my throat. I am 44 years old and still a shift manager. In two minutes, the pizza dough flies from my blocked airway, and for the first time since the Papa's army took my father away, I feel joy. In four minutes, the memory of this joy is squirted onto a pizza for an old woman who will immediately die after eating it. I am tired of this earth, these people. I am tired of making pizza toppings out of the tangle of their minds. In Papa John's kitchen, I watch one of these teens extract a final memory

from the dead woman. It's a memory of the future. In the syringe, I I watch one of these teens extract a final memory from the dead woman. It's a memory of the future. In the syringe, I see the doodler annihilated by an exploding star. I see the earth consumed by flame, blackened to ash like an epic pepperoni stuffed crust left too long in the oven. The trumpets are silent, and for the first time since the Papa's army took my father away, I feel joy. originally and now they gotta fix it. Or do they? Or do they? A question on everyone's mind. Or will they die trying? That was dark. You don't have to save your dad. Legally, you do not have to. Legally, you don't have to. You're not bound by that. My name is Freddie Wong. I play Taylor Swift, the

tiefling ranger of the group. See, what? I mean, in terms of the classification. He's just throwing this down. He was a rogue last week. Now he's a dragon. What's going on? He's never been a rogue. Okay, I said it wrong once. Okay, he's a ranger. This week's Taylor fact on the subject of pizza delivery. Taylor did take his Roland Cole bike, and he did use it as a pizza delivery vehicle.

He signed up, which is, by the way, against the rules, but he did sign up for Postmates to be a driver. And then he did it for a couple of days, and he was like, I'm good. I have a question for you about Taylor. Is that we learned last week that Taylor doesn't know what a job is? He knows what jobs are, but he just doesn't think anyone does them.

Because he didn't do his pizza job. Because he didn't do his pizza job. I still don't understand how this works, but you say it with such confidence that I believe you.

What was the context for last week? He was just like, what's a job? He was like his mom. He thought the only job was being a voice actress. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Everything else is a hobby you get paid for. okay interesting in his mind everyone who works as a service job does it because of a love for why they like their hobby or it's like they're like this is what i do on the side while i'm trying to get my anime voice acting job started yeah which is a job creating japanese animation the only true job yeah or or or. Or, or, or, designing the figurines, the little, like, vinyl figurines, right? Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. I'll accept your explanation. And this is also the reason why he was so awkward around Hero Oak, because he was like, she took my hobby. He wasn't even awkward around her.

He just didn't, he was like, whatever. Like, he, you can't even, you can't even retcon it into there was some sort of fun chemistry. I put a girl in front of you

for you to have a crush on and you were like, I don't know what's going on just like teen freddy yeah true to yourself hi everybody my name is matthew arnold i play lincoln lee wilson the schooled at home soccer kid who's a protective paladin of the group um i figured my fact would also be a pizza fax since we seem to be love it thematically i wasn't gonna do pizza facts but then like we've been on pizza for about three episodes so it seems about time to talk about pizza just a really simple link's favorite pizza is whatever pizza he gets after a soccer game it doesn't really matter what it is

whatever the reason it doesn't matter what pizza is because his favorite pizza is specifically the pizza after he's picked off all the toppings. Okay. So he just has like a big. He's always like, do you want cheese? Like, no, no, no. He's supreme. And he likes to pick off all the toppings. That's just part of the whole process. So he likes that process.

He likes that process. And I think it tastes a little different. Does he dab the thing with the napkin to get the napkin all greasy? Whatever grease is, that's how God made it. Yo, that's what I'm saying, dude. My mom used to get on my ass for that. Dude, we get the pizza from Costco and she'd be like, you can't eat it until i dab it with this paper towel i'm like mom yeah just let me have the grease let me have this yeah i have one good why am i removing why am i doing makeup removal on this pizza

before i eat it like let me eat this pizza this is the way god intended this is beautiful the way it is i'm about pizza positivity this is the way they designed it. Steve Jobs didn't design the iPhone to have a big fucking case on it. I thought you were going to be like, Steve Jobs didn't design pizza to be taken away. Pizza's really the original click wheel if you think about it. Hey everyone, I'm Will Campos,

click wheel enthusiast and actor who plays the character Normal Oak on this podcast, Dungeons and Dragons. Normal is a- This podcast, Dungeons and Dragons? Shut the fuck up, Freddie. We've done so many episodes.

I can't, I can't be, I'm gonna, just statistically, I'm gonna say the name of the podcast wrong every once in a while. I'm just getting in the way just in case them lawyers, them legal eagles are sitting listening. I play the character Strider on the podcast, Dungeons and Dragons. Normal's a mixed up mascot kid

who doesn't know who he is anymore. Normal fact about Normal this week is Normal's never had a pet. His family considers that like the pet can't consent to being owned

so they don't own pets. But he has befriended a raccoon that lives outside the school by stealing lunch meats from the cafeteria which his Uncle Lark says is Braxis.

So he's able to throw lunch meat to a raccoon and he's befriended a little raccoon family. Oh, what's his name? The animal can't consent to being named. Oh, but does the animal have provided their name to you? The animal's name is... Oh yeah, voice of God here. That plus a combination of raccoon pheromones

is how the raccoon identifies itself to other raccoons. Wow. So he's domesticated. Wow, that's very bad. It's not domesticated at all. I think actually normal's probably been bit a lot by this thing. And it's just a real matter of- Probably he has rabies.

He's got a role for rabies. Do I have to do a disease role right now? No, because if you- No, no, no. Because if you have rabies, you're dead. You're dead. Yeah. Yeah, you got to get a shot immediately.

Do we find out that there's like super rare? Like there's like one guy who got rabies and survived? There's been two people, I believe, again, when I had the manic episode where i thought i had rabies i researched this a lot i believe there are two people there's an experimental thing where you like the stay system like freeze their body to kill it and then maybe they survive being frozen there's one person one person and then one person without any gianna gc yeah without any sort of like thing at all like no treatment she just survived. Well, that's two normals immune to rabies.

She's like, I am a woman. He's number two. Yeah. But he doesn't know it. That's the thing. He doesn't even realize it. That's a gnarly fact. Next fact, Lincoln Lee Wilson survived rabies.

Hi, my name's Beth May, and I play Scary Marlow, a goth punk seeker of darkness who is not like the other girls girls um fun fact i remember when this podcast was good it was so long ago it's been a while work related fact about scary this week is that scary's only other part-time job was a mere few months ago where she worked for a VHS and CD store once CDs and VHSs had their resurgence in the 2050s. Oh, kind of like vinyls now. Yeah. And she was fired immediately because she was more preoccupied with the Spotify playlist

in the store than actually helping customers. more preoccupied with the Spotify playlist in the store than actually helping customers. Now, do they do special pressings of modern movies in the 20s, 50s? Sure. I think that there's a special VHS copy of We're Back, a dinosaur story.

Obviously, all the propaganda movies, Fly Away Home, Goofy Movie. Nice, nice, nice. Yeah. All 16 Taken movies, the Taken trilogy. Taken, a Goofy movie. Save me. Taken. All 16 Taken movies, the Taken set trilogy. Taken, a goofy movie. Slave movie. I have a particular set of skills. Skills.

I'm Anthony Burcham, your dad. Hey, dad. So around this time, I would have sprung another big akin to the tattoo surprise on all of you. What? I would have. I didn't. Okay. Basically, I spent two months in a massage therapy school

I was going to be a certified massage therapist by around now but the first two months of that are online learning tragically the very first class I took literally included the phrase the mitochondria is the power supply of the cell I was like I thought I was free of this yeah I was going to stick with it

it was going to be two months of online stuff which I did and then two months of online stuff, which I did. And then two months of in-studio training and then two months of clinic training. But after the two months of online training, it turns out a lot of the people who teach massage don't believe in vaccines. I was like, oh, I'm going to be a massage person because a lot of people in my life have like chronic pain and I wanted to like help with that. But the fucking very first class was like, the first thing you need to know about me,

he's not like David Lynch. First thing you need to know about me is I invented the elbow bump. And he was not saying that as a joke. He thought he came up with the idea of like elbow shaking hands during COVID. What? He literally took credit for that. And then he was like, the second thing you need to know is that you are here because there is a

desperate hunger amongst the population for medicine-free healthcare. And that is what you are. Effectively doctors is what you're doing by touching people. And I was like, oh no. But who cares? Just get good massage. I didn't care until around the time

that I was going to have to go in, all the COVID cases spiked in LA. And I was like, if there's anybody that is not fucking vaccinated, it is these fucking people. What is with your incredibly good pure intentions and you running into just insane idiots uh life so when we last left the group of kids you had basically just had a normal day at uh Papa john's you stabbed your shift manager risky click in the head took some memories from him to make a delicious pizza that you served

to tilt toberon which then killed her via heart attack as she died you damn life comes at you fast you took a memory from her head but because she can see in four dimensions it was sort of a premonition of a possible future can you remind me of the prophecy yes. Because it feels like that's where we're coming off of, right? Yeah, yeah. I believe Scary saw the Doodler. I think Scary's the one who pulled it out. It is up to Scary whether or not she tells you about it. But yes, the idea is that when you are searching for a memory

in somebody, you can sort of ask a question psychically, and then that'll make it easier for you to find that thing. So Scary wanted to know, how do we defeat the Doodler? And the memory that you found showed you basically a sun exploding in this world incinerating the doodler and everybody else in this world while you and the other dads and your friends stood on the other side of the portal where you came from the forgotten realms so we destroy this world yes yes everything in this world including the doodler can get so far the only people we've met are horrible people, so. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. Do you want to just start having seen that memory and you tell everybody about it, or?

Sure. We can also jump to your shift review. Oh, God. Well, okay, guys, before we get to our shift review. Like, shit review, am I right? Yeah, fuck yeah, Link, hell yeah. Shit review, okay, anyways. So there's basically no way to defeat the doodler,

which I feel like is pretty freeing, actually. I feel like, you know, I feel kind of liberated by this knowledge. What did you see? Well, I saw, like, this big sun thing explode, and it was our fault, or to our credit, I guess, maybe. And then so we were alive alive and our dads were alive. But everybody else was dead. And so normally I'd be like, that's pretty metal.

But like, I don't know, even I have limits. And so there's just a lot of chaos that happens if we defeat the doodler. And so I guess we don't need to do it, which is great. Interesting conclusion. But we got our dads back. Yeah. But we got our dads back. Yeah. So if we get our dads back and we destroy the doodler, it blows up this world. I mean, it seems like that was one possible way it could shake out, you know?

So maybe like we can do it different. Yeah, we do it different, right? We do it our own way where that doesn't happen. Yeah, so we save the people on Earth and then whatever happens to our dads happens. And then we get off like unscathed. At the very least, we know our dads happens and then we get off like unscathed at the very least we know our dads are alive if that prophecy is true then that means our dads are alive because for that to even be possible for that prophecy to be possible our dads must still be alive that's a good

point now yeah that's true yeah that's true very important question was i in this vision then how cool did i look you're in this vision i'd say you'd look like uh eight eight out of ten cool oh that's what do you think he looks like right now, though? What am I at right now? You're at 2 out of 10 cool. 2 out of 10. Hermie, I want to say an opinion. Hermie, let me see if I agree with that or not. That's right. It's two faces off. Yeah, no, I gotta say

for me, from Hermie, your friend, 12 easily. But there's no accounting for taste, am I right? That averages to 7. So I'm slightly cooler than I am now. Okay, interesting. Good to know. I'm going to file that away.

Thanks, Harry. Hey, no problem. It's scary. Maybe rethink those standards. Maybe rethink your life. Oh, okay. Well, that's all. You should flip a coin and see if he does it. All right, flip again.

Dude, imagine if Two-Face and the Bad Movies had to go to flipacoin.com on this phone. So he got tails. So he goes like, no, I don't think I will. I think Hermes is perfect just as he is. Yeah, Hermes is so cool now. Nothing more cool than. So he goes like, no, I don't think I will. I think Hermes is perfect just as he is. Yeah, Hermes is so cool now.

Nothing more cool than being secure in who you are. Am I right? Yeah, yeah. Okay. Looks like I'm surrounded by a lot of people

who cannot relate to that. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. No, you will. As you are jabber jawing, risky click,

your shift manager comes up and goes, this is the one we stabbed. This is the one you stabbed. But he doesn't remember that you did it because you took the memory out. Do you have holes?

You know what I'm saying? Like, after you get stabbed in the face of the ridges, you got to be leaky a little bit, right? Yeah, probably. I mean, you don't leak from, like, when you get blood. By definition, Matt, I think you do. Rizky comes over to you, and he has a couple of trickles of blood dripping down his skull. That image just needed it. Thank you.

His scalp. And he bends over at the waist and goes hey guys i'm so excited that you're all uh all here together really really bring that papa john's spirit to uh oh looks like a corpse okay yeah we did we did deliver the pizza before she loved it so much she left a perfect review for us i mean i see a bite taken out of it so i mean that's as far as your interaction needed to go so hey great job but you know be even better is if you were back in the kitchen doing your jobs and not celebrating the fact that you've done your job. So I just want to say this shift, it's gone. Okay. It's

gone. Not bad. And I heard, I got it straight from, and he points upwards, the Papa himself, that if you work just three more perfect days, no mistakes, you can get pushed up to the delivery driver. So this was like one day we delivered a pizza. We made one pizza, so we got to make like one more per day? Is that how it works? No, you'll get more than one pizza a day, but we'll speed that up and you'll just do some rolls and stuff. But basically, all you have to do is just not screw up.

And yeah, no problem. Hey, I need to take a smoke break. We don't do that here. I need to take a break. I'm looking at my seven out of the 40 hit points. Yeah, I need to take a smoke break. We don't do that here. I need to take a break. I'm looking at my seven out of 40 hit points. Yeah, I need to, yeah. Oh, you think your shift is over? No, no, no, no, break.

Yeah, just a quick break. You do breaks? We do breaks, but they're not long enough for a short rest. Short rest is at least an hour. And we don't get a lunch break, you fascist. You live off the nutrition of the love of his father. Oh, my God. As he's saying this, Lark comes over and puts a hand on Risky Click's shoulder and says,

yeah, actually, you know what? You're totally right. It's my bad. I'm, you know, I'm supposed to be the one training them. So I'll explain. It's all good. I got it, Risky. Thanks.

Thanks. Sorry. And Risky Click goes, nope, that's, uh, you don't need to thank me. Apologies maybe for interrupting me, but that's fine. And he just keeps smiling at him and keeps maintaining eye contact with him as he walks away. maybe for interrupting me, but that's fine. And he just keeps smiling at him.

He keeps maintaining eye contact with him as he walks away. And Lark goes, hey, so if you keep working here, you're going to start losing memories. Okay. Like how much, like it seems like we want to do three days. How much memories are we talking about here? Like can I pick the memories I lose? I have a couple I'd like to get rid of. Yeah, I've got a really dark past.

So every day that you spend working here, you're going to roll and lose a memory. And the higher the roll, the more precious the memory will be to you. And Lark says there's also another way we could try to handle this, which is we could just take the keys from the delivery driver. Oh, yeah. Who's the delivery driver now? It's a delivery driver right now. His name is Dorito DeVito. Thank you, Josh. X Mayhem. Dorito DeVito.

And right now he sleeps in special quarters and he points to the other end of the cafeteria. And you can see that there's a very sturdy looking door that opens up. You see what seems to be a man-sized calzone walk through the door, followed by another. And both of them, they're just rounded pockets of dough with burbling, pulsating boils under their flaky exterior. And they look aggressive. They look angry. And then behind them is just like a guy.

And the guy is swinging- Like the VIP section of the club. The guy is swinging a key chain that is connected to his belt. A cool scorpion jacket like the driver. He goes, okay, that's them. Yeah, that's the guy in the back. That's Dorito DeVito.

Wow, he's exuding such an aura right now. He's just flanked by two monsters. And he's got keys to a cat bus? Yeah, the calzone carbuncles next to him, those are his bodyguards. Whenever he leaves, he's got his little quarters there, and they bring him food,

and he's got a bathroom and everything in there, so he basically just stays there unless he's going to go to the pussy wagon, and then they accompany him there, and they wait in the garage for him to come back when he's out on his routines. Is there only one delivery guy? Yeah, it's a very important job being able to. Wait, so like in three days

we could be the number two? Yeah, what happens to him? What happens to who? The current delivery guy. Oh, I believe we're looking to expand. I think they're trying to get another pussy waggon. Oh, multiple pussy waggon. Okay. Wait, he told you three days? Yes. I don't know if I buy that. You don't buy it? What do you mean? Like, no one would

lie about your potential for growth at a company right on the line. Yeah. He just puts his hand on normal standing goes oh oh normal oh oh i wish you i wish you would never had to grow up oh do they tell that to every person that works here i have an idea okay let's hear it so as you know i'm well versed in the art of mascot engineering i've never attempted a giant costume made out of dough before but maybe we could like bake a big calzone and hide in it and then knock on the door and we could pretend to be those calzone guys and we could get the keys seems like they can get close to the guy so this is just a hitman level dude if we made like a couple big calzones uh we could make flawless disguises for ourselves.

Maybe Hermie can show us how to act and study the movements of one of these calzone dudes. You know, Hermie, is that something that like, you know, you could help us out with? As you turn and look at him, he's already moving like a calzone. There's something about him. You can see like he's somehow making his skin

pulsate a little bit. Like there's just like magma hot pizza sauce with him. He's flexing his pecs. He goes, I'm already there. I'm already figuring out my business. And he starts like making bits of the burn bits of him flake off like it's crust. He goes, wait, it's about realism.

I've been studying my primary. I'm going to approach Dorito DeVito. Okay, immediately as you approach, both of the calzone carbuncles turn towards you and put their hands next to two big boils that begin to start vibrating and growing. And they're like ready with their hands on either side of them as if they're going to try to pop them at you oh mr

dorito devito hi hi we we're new employees are you trying to persuade him to stop walking because he's just walking i'm kind of walking along with him then oh okay so the cows and carbuncles one of them puts his hand out in front of devito to stop. And both of them are facing you. And Devito looks at you and goes, new voice. You dare stop me, boy? What do you think you are? Who do you think you're talking to right now? I'm a meager piece of shit in your world. I am nothing.

I am nobody. We've been told that we aspire to be a delivery person and that we are to help you at any end, give you anything you want. So if we could just know where your room is so we can bring you breakfast and all sorts of wonderful things. That's what our boss told us, to treat you right because you're the best

and we hope to be as cool as you. So just let us know where you sleep. That's insane. So roll deception with disadvantage. With disadvantage? It's an insane thing to walk up to a stranger and be like, hey, where do thing to walk but he's also trying to say that you know he was assigned i guess yeah but if this guy's got the most cush job at the

papa john's he's probably used to people lying to him to try to get closer to him i got three okay he goes hey you know what there's something you got kid everybody around this papa john's has been trying to get close to dorito devito but you're the first one who had the suck to stop me when I'm with my calzone carb. You know what? Give me a hand shake. Shake my hand. Oh, well, I don't think I'm worthy enough to shake a hand like yours.

Shake my hand. Shake my hand. If you don't want to. Shake my fucking hand. And he reaches out for your hand. I'm going to step away. Okay. He goes, okay.

Fucking baby. Piss your pants like a little baby boy. Okay, well, no one chooses for you, asshole. Whoa, you're gonna insult the fucking top employee right away? That's some Glenn Gary Glenn Ross shit, dude. Everybody puts down their pizza forks. And then the managers who see that people

are eating pizza with forks immediately have them fired. And people put down their pizza hands. And they all turn to you as you call him an asshole and everything goes silent and the fucking piano player stops playing. And Doritos says,

what the fuck? Did you just call me? I don't know. I'm really nervous. Say it again. What? Say it again. Do you want orange juice

in the morning from us? The last part, say it again. I want want to hear it i want to hear what you call me one more time so everybody can hear it um link what's going on dude i was over here mocking up plans for the calzone costume we're all on board with that plan it was a plan that was just trying to figure out so once we got the calzone costumes we could wake them up in the morning back hey wake me up oh oh thank you thank you oh then we boys uh i think this person was trying to plan some sort of heist or something. So why don't you go ahead and- No, I was just thinking that the new mascot for our workplace here would be a calzone, you know, just like these two fine gentlemen, you know, to celebrate all the hard work you

guys do. And I'm sorry about my friend. We got nothing but respect for Doritos and Cool Ranch Doritos and everything you got going on, Doritos, Locos, Tacos. I can't believe you already told him about Cali the Calzone. The new costume. Yeah, it was supposed to be a surprise. So we're going to go. Alright, both of you rolled

a session with disadvantage. You know how that's going to end up, Anthony. Well, there's two of them doing it. It kind of evens out. Yeah, I thought the Calzone plan was great. I was like, oh, we'll just wake him up. And you called him an asshole, Matthew. I know. Well, that was just Link. I got a seven. I got a six.

One of the calzones pops its blister in a jet of piping hot magma sprays onto Lincoln. And it's really bad. It's burning your skin. You scream and you fall to your knees. I try to find some water to throw on him. No, no, grease fire. As has been A, grease fire. And B, as was set up by Matt in the previous episode, you have to find some water to throw on. No, no, grease fire. As has been, A, grease fire,

and B, as was set up by Matt in the previous episode, you have to ask for water here. Hey, can I get some water here? Or like, yeah, with some lemon in it or something? How much damage? Roll a 2d10.

Seriously? Yeah. I mean, I'm in death saves. So Link goes limp, falls to the ground, and is dying. Good first day of work. If anybody wants to roll a perception check.

13. With a 13, you can see that the act of popping its pizza sauce blister. It's Pazussi. It's Pazussi. You realize that the act of popping its Pazussi actually caused the calzone to take damage. It looks weaker than it did before but you're also probably decently distracted by the fact that your friend just died or is almost dying in front of you i'm gonna cast cure wounds on lincoln okay i go whoa whoa whoa we're all part of the baba john's

family here it's just a big misunderstanding so you heal uh 10 hit points so i pop up you pop back up it feels like there's burns all over your face, but not permanent ones, just like pizza burn on the roof of your mouth type shit. Oh, fuck. Your whole face is the pizza burn on the roof of your mouth. Devastating. Link, you okay, buddy? Yes. Oh, whoop. Bing, bing. That's our shift. We gotta get back to work.

We can't. Papa John's. Dorito jumps onto a table and says, Everybody look at what just happened there. You come at me, you come at the master of the pussy wagon, and you get put the fuck down. You don't even look at me, you don't stop me while I'm walking, you do nothing.

As far as you're concerned, I am your superior. I am more than you, I am greater than you. You are the fingernail clippings of a god, and I am like his hand. I'm the hand of his god. You're a figure nothing.

Bye. And he starts heading towards the kitchen. I bow to him. Damn. That's right. Thank you. I don't know. It sounds like the fingernail clippings of a god would still be pretty powerful.

Yeah. So he heads away and Lark goes like, so that happened. Sorry, I would have, I'm trying to help, but I'm, it's sort of, I'm like, I had the one and he takes an empty syringe out of his pocket. And this was full of memories and stuff. And I use this when I saw you guys, I'm sort of saving it so I could be cogent while you're here. But it's kind of, it's beginning to fade.

And Sparrow has one too. And he said to sort of save it for when you guys were safe and you could properly talk. But you're losing your mind right now? What's going on? I just, yeah, I'm sort of losing myself. I'm not going to be as helpful as I was. Not that you were super helpful to begin with.

All right, fair one. Yeah, you got me got me there look we got to figure this situation out it sounds like if we wait around to try to make a bunch of pizzas we're all gonna forget who we are and we're probably just gonna get strung along so we need to figure out how to steal this i thought that calzone plan was really good i'm sorry i messed it up i thought we just need to know where he is so we can go you gotta not call people assholes i know my temper's been really bad lately. What's wrong, bud? My dad's on a round. They really calm me down.

Link, whoever you think is an asshole, you can call an asshole. Don't let these assholes tell you who you can and cannot say. I'm gonna disagree with that, Scary.

Okay, well, you're an asshole. I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry. I'm really losing my temper. I think I ruined the idea or can we still try to make the calzones? We just gotta find out where he sleeps,

because I don't- If the calzone, listen, if the calzone disguises are good enough, we'll be able to, well, really quick, are there other calzone guards? Is it like, are these the only two guards? These are the only two ones. So that's why my thought is that we can't, like,

walk up while they're already calzones. Like, we gotta walk up while he's by himself. No, we can ambush one of the calzone guards, and then, in the calzone costume, replace that guard. Wait a second, wait a second wait a second hear me out hear me out three costumes two calzones and i look at her me and i say the key one of us could dress up as a key i say i say her me did you get enough studying dorito devito he turns around

and he already looks like dorito here's what we do my God. Here's what we do. Here's what we do. You tell me. Hear me out. Two of us disguise ourselves as calzones to talk to Dorito DeVito. One of us disguises ourselves as Dorito DeVito to lead the calzones away. And that way we keep them in two separate areas so that we can get the key and we can steal the pussy wagon. Oh, because they'll be freaked out. And then the other two of us will just keep working and act like everything's okay and make excuses. And then two lookouts to make sure

that the two teams aren't going to come into eye contact with each other. But how does Hermie ever get to those? Call me Dorito now. We need to find a park where their walk cycles are out of view of other people so that we can separate them somehow. Like maybe I can throw a coin and then Dorito will go look at it

over in a room by himself and then we'll do the whole switcheroo. Do you see what I'm saying? No, that's the hard part is the part where Danny Dorito or whatever is away from the calzones. That's easy though. Oh, oh.

Lark says, well, the calzones are separate from Dorito when he's out on his runs. Like when he goes into the pussy wagon, he's alone in the pussy wagon and they stand outside of the garage door. So one of us has just got to call in an order. Perfect. And then Hermie will stand right by the door

and then he'll come through. They'll be like, oh, I just finished my run. And then I need- Oh, he forgot his keys. Well, no, he doesn't even have to tell him. He just says, time to bring me back to the place. And then the calzones will walk with Hermie. And then when Dorito Dovito comes out-

Then we have the two calzones. Lead them away. Yeah, then we can beat the shit out of that asshole. Sounds like you're volunteering to be a calzone. It's the perfect plan. Wait, but hold on. How are we going to fool the calzones if Hermie, as Dorito Dovito, shows up without the kappas?

And also, how am I going to get onto the other side of a locked door? They're going to put their backs to a locked door. No, we'll make a distraction. We'll make a distraction that makes them take a few steps forward and then you'll come out of the door then you'll be right at the door ah yes the specific kind of distraction that makes them walk two steps forward hey herbie we haven't figured out yet man give us give me a break

an actor needs to understand the space i'm asking motivational questions where's the garage like like we come out we say hey fuck you calones, and we throw some stuff at them, and then they chase after us. The garage, if you remember, is in the kitchen where we were all stabbing. So we make the calzones chase us around the corner. Okay, so they'll be standing guard on the door. Yes, in the kitchen. Wait a second.

No, no, no, no, I've got it, I've got it, I've got it. Everybody, everybody, everybody, I've got it, I've got it. The order is big enough to hide Hermie in a box. Okay. It's like in Ocean's Eleven. It's like in Ocean's Eleven when they hide the guy in the box. So we do a big order of pizzas. When they hide the Chinese National Treasure Jet Li.

He gets into the back of the box and then we wheel him. The pizza's got to go through the door. That's true. Let's just cut out a few steps here. This is incredible. Let's just get a big enough order that the four of us to go through the door. That's true. This is incredible. But wait, let's just cut out a few steps here. This is incredible. Let's just get a big enough order that the four of us can be in the box.

And then Herbie can sit back here and be like, hey, here's the big order for you. So we're saying we ordered enough pizza for all four of us. Five of us. we ordered enough pizza for all four of us. Five of us. And my two dads. All seven of us. Seven of us.

Oh, yeah. We need to bring your dads, too. Shoot. A pizza party. It needs to be the most insane pizza party. Yeah. So we call it a pizza party order. Yeah.

Interesting. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Who's going to have to call and talk to a human being on the phone to do an order? Well, Hermie, Hermie can act as anybody. I mean, I would have to act as a boomer or something. Someone who's comfortable getting on the phone. An ancient one.

Yeah, one of the old ones. I don't know if I could. I'll have to go into my special zone for this, but I think I could try. Okay. Hermie, I grab him by the shoulders. This may be the hardest thing you've ever done as a teenager. How small? Here, let's all lay down on top of each other how big is this like what's the volume we can extrapolate the ups box size of all of us laying down I laid down on the floor come on I get a smell like I curl up like a cat I curl up like a cat you're so long you're like a snake

growing up we could all do like of the tetris pieces there's the z piece right yeah yeah the z piece which is like which is the equivalent of us putting our legs at 90 degrees in our hips a z piece of pizza i'm just saying it's the most efficient way to pack the box is that we orient ourselves with the z pieces circle is the most efficient geometric shape whatever shape you guys want i was just trying to see how big we all are when we're all laying down right now well okay so the biggest pizza they have is 16 inches. What? Is it?

Is Papa John's pizza 16? No, but what we're going to do is we're going to put together a ton of pizza boxes and then hollow it out. You know, like with a book, like when you haul out a book, like it'll look like a bunch of pizza boxes stacked on top of each other, but it'll be hollow on the inside. Right. I'm trying to see how many pizzas we have to make for the width of us. Which would be helpful if we knew how big we have to make it so everybody lay down.

Like, also, if we maybe called in an order for a special type of pizza that was bigger than 16 inches. Like, oh, I want the loop-de-loop, which is two 16 inches in a loop. The Hooters special, which is a bunch of wings and boobs. It's like a refrigerator box. That's what I'm getting at. I'm just trying to figure out how big. and boobs. It's like a refrigerator box. That's what I'm getting at. I'm just trying to figure out how big. Now, if we all laid

sort of in Z shapes on top of and next to each other, how tall are you? He's 6'3". Oh my god. Look how small I am when I'm crowed up like a cat and I'm like on the ground still crowed up as small as I can be. It strikes me that alright, so normal puts a large pizza box on the ground and

stands in it and realizes that like, if we order just hear me out 37 and a half pizzas is the height in order to get six three so if we just order seven separate orders to our heights of pizza and then we just use a dolly to roll each of those oh like one at a time yeah and then we're all basically what if one of us falls why was it we make a perfect do that but put all four columns next to each other and then hollow out the inside so it's just a big empty box that looks like pizza boxes stacked and we all stand in there or i just don't want to be separated imagine if like one of us gets like falls off

the back or like they catch one of us that'd be terrible they would lose an entire order of 37 and a half pizzas. They could never survive. Like, if you learned anything from The Hobbit, it's that you shouldn't be all being separate barrels. Scary, you're the leader. What do you think we should do?

Scary, make the choice. I'm worried about how we're going to pay for this order. Up, cash on delivery. Ah, okay. Yeah, no, we're not going to pay for it. Hermey's going to pretend

that he's going to pay for it. Yeah. Does any delivery place do that now, cash on delivery? I'm more wondering how we're going to convince somebody that they've ordered 100... How many boxes of six feet of pizza?

About 30 boxes. Okay, so times four. So you need 120 boxes. I should have paid attention in math. This is like 9,000 pizzas, right? 120 boxes of pizza. We could all stand in it. Well, don't forget that we're going to need to construct this out of cardboard.

We could just make the outsides of it look like a bunch of sack pizza boxes. But inside of it is actually a nice, comfortable, cool secret base. Cool secret fort. Made out of pizza boxes. A mobile pizza fort. Are there any shipping crates around? No, it's just pizza boxes.

There's probably boxes where they send you some of the ingredients and stuff, but they're not huge. How big is the box that holds all the pizza boxes, Anthony? Those pizza boxes. They don't send you those in a box. How long has it been since you worked in a restaurant? They don't send you those in a box. They send you those as broken down cardboard flats with a rubber band around them.

So there's no crates? Not person-sized crates, no. Wait, wait, wait. Can you order? Wait, can you order? I got it. I got it. Can you order calzone

people? Like, is that an item on the menu? Like a stripper? I'm asking. They pop out of the box, and it's like, happy birthday. Guys, I know what I'm doing for my birthday next year. Is that what you thought, Matt? That you could just order a giant

calzone, and then you show up to a war? My point is, maybe this party would rather have, like, you know how they have, like, big subs? This is, Matt, that you could just order a giant calzone and then just show up to- My point is, maybe this party would rather have like, you know how they have like big subs? This is like- This is perfect. It's like, can you order a party calzones? And then you just order two of them. Hey, Herbie, call and ask. Say, hey, you're rich.

Well, I'll give it a call. I'll give it a call. What's the delivery line? I want to call the delivery line. So, Herbie, yeah. I want to call it. You want to call it? Yeah, I'm I'll give it a call. What's the delivery line? I want to call the delivery line. So her make it, yeah. I want to call it. You want to call it? Yeah, I'm going to call it.

Okay. So it rings. Hi. I said it rings. I didn't say anything's up yet. I'm practicing. I'm practicing. Okay, yeah.

Hi. Hi. Hi. You don't have to use phones yet. I get it. Hi. Hi. Yeah, like that.

Try a hello, Link. Hello. Ring ring. Yeah, okay. Hello. Hi. Yeah, like that. Try a hello, Link. Hello. Ring, ring. Yeah, okay. Hello. Ring, ring. Say it like, what's up, gamers? That's what they say.

What's up? So you hear a click, and you hear Risky Click's voice going, Hello, Papa John's delivery. What's up, Papa? I'm a big shot down the village nearby. I got a big party. Do you have a delivery order? I would like a delivery order.

Okay, let me connect you to the cooks in the kitchen. And then he goes, Link! Kids! I grabbed a big party. Do you have a delivery order? I would like a delivery order. Okay. Let me connect you to the cooks in the kitchen. And then he goes, Link! Kids! I grab the other phone. We have a delivery order! Grab the phone. And you go back to the kitchen?

Yeah, I go back to the kitchen. So he hands you the phone, and he goes, if somebody wants a delivery order, this is your first delivery order. Make it good. Hey, do you mind? I get nervous when people watch me.

Can I just... Roll persuasion. 17. 17? Yeah. And he goes, I mean, it's fine. It's whatever. The lines are recorded anyway, good hey do you mind i get nervous when people watch me can i just roll the equation 17 17 yeah and he goes i mean it's fine it's whatever the lines are recorded anyway so i'll know if you do bad customer service okay all right so they're recorded so i have to okay so i was gonna stop and i gotta finish it hey i i got a big party and i you know i don't like just normal pizzas oh yeah well what is it that you want then well i don't know if you sell these but i saw saw some big some big walking calzones.

And, like, I don't need them walking. And I don't need any, like, feet or anything. But, like, can you make big calzones for a party, like two of them? Oh, I don't know. I'll have to ask. I'll have to check in with customer service. Hey. And I call out to Rick.

Hey, this guy wants, like, big calzones. It's okay if we get, like, two. If I mix in like big calzones. It's okay if we get like two, if I mix him some big calzones, he's willing to pay a lot. I think I saw a YouTube tutorial on how to do that, so I can do that for sure. So Risky pops his head back in and he goes, we can send him the calzones,

but does he want sentient or non-sentient? We can't give him sentient ones. Oh yeah, no, non-sentient. He just wants big calzones. You should probably check with him, Link. He just wants big calzones. Why don't you check with him, Steve? No, he said he didn't want any feet on them.

So I'm pretty sure he meant no walking Calzones. He just wants to eat them. So yeah, you can make Big Calzones. This is a big order, man. You're going to be really proud. I'm going to listen to that later. I better hear good customers.

Keep going, man. We could do that. I just need your address. I know Normal frantically looks through the receipts to find another address. Oh, my address. Someone else has been working from. What am I finding? Roll an investigation.

Norm, I need an address. What the fuck is an address? Hey, before I give you an address. Stole yourself. Stole yourself. Stole yourself! I want to double check. I want, like, pepperoni. I want to love that joy.

I got a natural 20. You get to make up an address, and it's correct. Whatever you make up is a real address. It's the Empire Center. Yeah, it's the Empire Center. Just ask for me. Lincoln. Whoa, hey!

That's wild! My name's Lincoln, too, man! that's wild. My name's Lincoln too, man. Oh, yeah, good name. Good name. This is how we're Lincoln at the Empire Center. And I want three. No, I want, wait. I want seven.

Whoa, seven. Yeah, I want seven calzones really big, like six feet, six feet. And, you know, whatever the cost, man feet if you can. And you know, whatever the cost, man, don't care. That sounds like a big party. That sounds really good, man. When do you want it? ASAP, as soon as possible. Alright. Oh, that's what that stands for.

Okay, great. Alright, we'll see you soon. Thanks for shopping at Papa John's. And then I hang up. Hey guys, I think we got seven calzones orders. Risky walks in and is going. That was incredible. You managed to move six, six, seven.

He said seven, seven, seven, six, six. I do have some notes. You didn't try to upsell him on our breadsticks, any dips, any sodas. Also, notably, you forgot to ask for a credit card number or any form of payment. He seems like he's pretty good for it. So once we get there. Roll persuasion. Roll persuasion.

Just like hearing him through the phone, you seem like a cash on delivery type of person. I got a six. And he goes, no, you going to have to call him back. And this time while I watch, I'm going to make sure you do it right. Okay. I look nervously at my two. Hand the phone to normal. Yeah, I hand the phone to normal. Give me a sleight of hand with advantage. Do I do it too?

Both of you can do sleight of hand with normal, not advantage. I got 13. I got a 19. You slide one of the phones easily to normal. It's like that scene in Now You See Me Why do we keep referencing Now You See Me? A fucking movie whips ass. There's so many better No, there's not, man, but there's zero magician movies, okay? There's only one, and then it turns out that one's not really a magician movie because it's a twit the whole time

But they always give it to the person about to be surged. It makes no sense Well, yeah, that's what's happening. That's true. They keep throwing it to the person about to be surged. They just give it to the first guy in that sequence and he's like, just hang on to it. You're good. Okay, so I call the phone.

Wait for me to get out of the room so he doesn't hear me. Well, yeah, honestly. So, yes, I duck out of the room. I was a star 69. They have stars. Yeah, it's Earth, dude. It's Earth. There's a broom closet. There yes, I duck out of the room. I was at Star 69. They have Star 69? Yeah, it's Earth, dude. They got Star 69. It's Earth. It's old folks. There's a broom closet.

There is, you know, the bathroom. And then there's the big cafeteria area. I'm going to duck into the bathroom. And I say, excuse me, I need to go to the little boy's room. No one was paying attention. Sorry, I think my voice just dropped a little bit. Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom. I just had puberty. Yeah, nobody's Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom. I just had puberty.

Yeah, nobody's interested. I have to go wax my mustache. One second, goodbye. Okay, goodbye. And I duck into the men's restroom. Okay, cool. It's one of those one-staller, or it's not even a stall.

It's just a toilet. It's a non-gender toilet, but there's only the one of them, so you're alone in there. It's only for men. It's not so much. It is a sit-down toilet, but only I can use it.

Yes, I will wait by the phone. It rings'm assuming okay yeah so again risky click is making horrible slightly bug-eyed eye contact with you the entire time uh this is lincoln you've got the empire center and he goes put him on speaker i want to hear it okay um i put him on speaker and i kind of look at risky click like you know let me know if i'm doing anything wrong. Oh, I will. Hey, Mr. Lincoln, this is Link from the Empire Center. Oh, yeah. I know he's not from the Empire Center. He's already shaking his head. Oh, sorry.

I was a little nervous. Papa John's, I'm sorry. I made a big mistake. Oh, you did? Yeah, I didn't get your credit card information. You got to pay for it. So if you could. Credit card, no problem.

Okay, thanks. It's a little Home Alone 2 for you guys. Normal saying all of his lines is to his Talk boy deluxe yeah my credit card uh what kind of credit card do you take and normal fumbles through his pockets and realizes it doesn't have a credit card so you know just the one that's got 16 numbers and just and you know uh right uh well yeah you can charge it to uh lincoln normal at the empire. Okay. And my credit card number. If you zoom in on his mouth, he's mouthing Lincoln Normal. He doesn't say it, but you can see him mouthing it.

My credit card number is 818- 818. 535. 535. 27. 27. 27. 27.

I can't read the whole card. How many numbers is that? That's 10. Oh,7. 2-7. 2-7. I can't read the whole card. How many numbers is that? That's 10. Oh, 6-1-6-4-0-5. Okay, good. Expiration date. Oh. I look at Risky like, right?

calzones i can't wait to eat them okay great uh all right you see taylor you see taylor being like upsell bread brisket click is nodding and pointing at Taylor. Oh, yeah. Do you want, for God, you know what goes really good with seven, six foot tall calzones? Bread sticks. More bread. More bread. And also we got drinks.

Just normal two liters. Just two liters. And yeah. And oh, yeah. And that's it. Do you want some bread sticks? Yeah. Put me down for a small bread sticks with my seven seven foot calzones all right great

you sure you need more boxes or anything like that 50 extra cardboard boxes in there hey look just between you and me you ain't getting the best deal the small bread sticks if you get the large bread sticks you get more bread for your money brisky click is nodding you know i i really don't like being pressured into these high risk sales tactics i don't pressure i just don't want your party members to be disappointed when there's not enough breadsticks to go around for all those people enjoying those calzones. Oh, God. Oh, you're right. I'll take 70 orders of breadsticks.

Oh, okay. Well, that's – wow. Thank you so much, sir. How much will that be? Fuck. Why did I say that? I look at Risky. Do you have, like, a calculator or what?

Risky says if he knows the price, he won't want to – just tell me. It's all good. You'll see the price on your receipt after we charge you. Risky clicks links to you and gives you the thumbs up. You'll see the price on your receipt. Okay, great. Goodbye. And I hang up the phone. Risky turns away

for a second. And when he turns back, his eyes are red and a tear is falling down his face. And he kneels next to you link and he says that was the greatest oh wow upsell i've ever seen you got him to buy it go link thanks 70 things of breadsticks quite a bit to go from just one small to 70 and you got him to not ask what the price was that's pretty yeah you know and sell into another link and what are the odds man what are the odds all right so we should get started that's a lot of cooking we got to do.

Yeah, you better get started. You're going to be working through a break. You're not getting your break, but hey. Oh, that's okay. Papa's going to appreciate the work you did today. Oh, thanks. Nice. A couple more days of that, you might find yourself being drivers.

Wow. Normal comes back from the bathroom. I washed my hands. Oh, yeah. You can tell. Yeah, that's great. All right. So, Risky.

Well, sorry. I mean, I washed my hands. Sorry. My voice undropped. So, Risky goes, I mean, I washed my hands. Sorry. My voice undropped. So Risky goes, I'm going to go up in the front and, uh, yeah, you get started on making some calzones. Be careful. It can be pretty hot.

And he heads back to the front and Lark goes, that was not bad. So are we eating the calzones here? No, Uncle Lark, we're going to hide in them so we can escape. Don't tell anyone that. But we don't get the calzones? No. You know what? I'm going to write down the plan we can escape. Don't tell anyone that. But we don't get the calzones? No. You know what? I'm going to write down the plan on a piece of paper,

and you can put this in your little pocket, and then when you get confused, you look at it, and you'll remember what we're doing. When he gets, like, caught, he's going to narc. I'm going to write it in Elvish, the language that Uncle Ark taught me. Okay. I did. That's the thing I did.

When you're in the calzone, you can eat some of it. I'm just hungry. And you get the sense that he is regressing a little bit. And he's like, it's boring. Anyway, yeah. Shit. Just a side note. That's something that, I don't know where Dorothy learned boring, but now when she goes to bed, I'm like, okay, time to go to bed.

She goes, but it's boring. I'm like, yeah, but if it's boring, you'll eventually fall asleep. She goes, ugh, bed's boring. Teen huddle real quick, guys. So far, so good. Just sums up all around. I just want to just note just a quick question. Aren't they going to be suspicious when seven of us disappear?

I don't know. I mean, yeah, but we'll be gone already. What if we act like the boxes are really heavy and we can't carry them like, oh, I need help with carrying this box out. And that's fine. But then who's in your box? Like, you know, we have a bedroom, though, where we sleep. We just put a bunch of pillows underneath for a bit. Ah, we only I mean, yeah, they're going to know we're gone as long as we're out of here.

As long as we get out of here. OK, OK. So we need to figure out what just an additional thing. As long as we can have him here. Okay, okay. So we need to figure out just an additional thing. I do think one of us might have to stay back to, like, the process of giving the calzones to Dorito guy. Like, Hermie can just be here and not say we have to get rid of Hermie or anything.

I'm just saying Hermie can be here and just be like, hey. Wait, this will work. Nobody's going to mistake this order for a different order. No, but the question is, Link, how do we all fit into the calzones and get ourselves delivered? Dorito probably just picks up the orders. Like we'll just leave all of our calzones on the counter. Just so you know, while you were doing that,

I rolled perception for risky click and he rolled an eight. So he's like, that's fine. Somebody named Taylor scary. This is fine. I'm not going to go back and check on him again. I'm just saying we need to figure out a good excuse for why seven of us are no longer behind the counter and in the kitchen. Maybe a note that we'd write on the thing that says like, Hey Dorito.

Oh, here, uh, Rick, Rick, Rick, by his friend. You can call me right now. After,

after I'm selling 70 orders of breadsticks, you can call me really excited about the marathon cook session. We're about to have, um, once we're done, can we get our break then? I think, uh,

is that the way the process goes? We'll just leave the cow zones out and somebody will come pick them up for delivery? Well, yes, but you're going to have to stay awake just in case, you know, they get the calzones and there's something wrong with them and they need them taken back or need an additional one second. You got to see this through the end, my boy.

Okay. They got to be happy. The money's got to be in our coffers. Here's what we'll do. We'll be very exhausted at the end of that. We'll rest in our rooms. Hello, I do. On call.

On call with our phones right next to us. How's that? Roll persuasion. Because we want to make sure... I'm going. With our phones right next to us. How's that? Roll persuasion. Because we want to make sure. I'm going to try to help. Because we want to make sure that we're all rested up for our next shift. Because, man, I don't want to toot my own horn, but I feel like I could get a few more deliveries like that tomorrow if we all rested up.

Can I get advantage on that persuasion roll? No, but he can help you with his own persuasion. I have a nine on that. Can you throw a persuasion? Come on, Matt. Damn it. I got three. And he goes, hey, pizza never sleeps.

And honestly, the kind of sales you're making, if you don't sleep, you just grind a little bit harder. You rise and grind, never sleep and grind. You can definitely get that promotion very, very soon. So no, I believe in you. You'll stick here. I'll be here with you, man. Wait, what?

No need for that. We really want to impress you, and we kind of want to be teens on our own. Okay. Well, I'll let you do your magic for the calzones part. Once it's done, I'll come in here, and I'll be with you for any adjustments we need to make to the recipe, anything like that.

All right. As soon as you're done, as soon as you hit that bell to summon Dorito DeVito to come get the pizzas, I'll be there to congratulate you on a job well done. I think one step at a time. Guys, I think we're going to have to kill Risky Quick. Let's let him leave first, and we can talk freely. Okay, yeah.

Well, you know, I say- I'm not leaving. I say stuff like that around people all the time. I'm kind of a loose cannon. Okay, two options here, I think. Okay. We could do a bunch of us in there, and one person stays back, and then that person gets saved when we drive the cat bus back in through the door, bust in through. I think

one person is going to have to escape through the tunnels of darkness and despair. Because we're going to need one. That's the only flaw in this plan is we're going to need one person to stay behind to talk to Risky Click. Wait, wait, wait. Talk to Risky Click or be

Risky Click Hermie. If Risky Click comes back here. Hermie turns around. He already looks like Risky Click. be Risky Click Hermie. If Risky Click comes back here. Hermie turns around. He already looks like Risky Click. Look, I'm not pro murder. I'm not saying we kill, but like, I think we subdue Risky Click and hide him. And then Hermie, you be Risky Click and you ring the bell. And when Dorito comes, you should say, hey, yeah, this was made for you.

That way, no question. Like he'll just tell them to put the pizzas in. Hermie, we will come back for you. does not care but it's promising like we will find a way to get you back but i think you're the only one who's talented enough to pretend to be risky click hermie bends over at the waist like risky click would and his eyes are like right next to yours and he goes is that a promise lincoln it is i almost died trying to save you from the nacho cheese i know we've had some like rough times but man, we're all in this together. We're all going to leave nobody behind.

Norval goes up to Hermie and says, Hermie, we will come back for you. I pinky promise. And I put out my pinky for a pinky promise. So he is going to flip a coin. Oh, shit. He reaches out with his burned hand and pinkyy promises you and says, you know what happens if you break this promise.

I don't think I have to tell you. Yeah, I feel bad, right? Oh, you will. But that's not going to happen because we're going to come back. You know what? Because you're part of this team, Hermie. You came all the way to this realm

to help us and you're a great actor and we believe in you and you're going to do a great job and then we're going to come back and we're going to get you. Okay, I'm going to go do some more research on my primary and you're going to do a great job, and then we're going to come back, and we're going to get you. Okay, I'm going to go do some more research on my primary.

I'm going to center myself, and the next time we see each other, you won't recognize me. So for now, this is farewell. Okay. And like that. He walks into the front of the thing, and then just stares at Risky Click for a while.

Just resting his hand, his head on his fist. He's got a laptop and like a little stand on his chest. Yeah. Now it's back to you guys. Here's my thought, by the way. So to kill Risky Click, we'll just have someone standing at the oven being like, something's wrong with this oven. And then the pilot light must be out. You get Risky Click and then we just... You're going to Hansel and Gretel him.

Yeah, Hansel and Gretel him. Yes, exactly. Do we want to kill him or can we just knock him out and tie him up i mean you could throw him in an oven well you know yeah you turn on the oven yeah you lock the oven yeah we'll just yeah we'll figure it out do ovens have locks on them a bike lock makes any door a u-lock makes any object lockable you know i'm saying can we just make calzones we have to roll we're making the boxes is what it is well what which part do you want to do first you want to make the calzones saying? Can we just make calzones? Do we have to roll? We're making the boxes. Which part do you want to do first? Do you want to make the calzones? Yeah, because these calzones

also have to pass inspection. Yeah. They're not going to stick their fingers in them. I might look at one of the calzones. These things have to at least pass a cursory test. They're going to open it like

if you've ever worked at a pizza place, generally before you take the shit out, you at least open it to make sure that it's the fucking correct toppings or whatever. We actually have to make seven foot calzones. Hold on.

Sorry, real quick. Sorry. Anthony's worked at a pizza place. Matt, you worked at a pizza place Sorry, real quick. Sorry. Anthony's worked at a pizza place. Matt, you worked at a pizza place and you don't even know this. I worked at a pizza place. You worked at a pizza place too? Yeah.

Will? I never. I just said that we have to make all sounds right. Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right. Wow.

I didn't realize that more than half of us have worked at pizza places. It's a pretty common job. And then two rich boys. And then two privileged boys. We're the ones who was ordering the pizzas.

I was the one who left it on your doorstep saying, please, sir, $5 for the gas, sir. If you wouldn't mind. Here's a tip. Get a new chair. Oh, one day I'll make a podcast and you'll be sorry. I think Taylor already establishing his pizza acumen is going to get to spinning dough,

throwing it in the air. Let's make some rolls. Let's make some, let's make some. Yes. What would you all argue? You could roll as a skill for making pizzas in nature. Survival.

Is it survival? I'm just going to pick something that I'm good at. No, that's not how that works. Let me have those. How about insight? No insight. If you were trying to see what a pizza felt about you.

Nope. If you were trying to jump over a pizza, about you. Nope. If you were trying to jump over a pizza. Well, I think I think here I'll give you survival. Pizza qualifies as food that makes you feel good about yourself. Can I use medicine? I was going to say survival or medicine or about deception. I'm not going to ask for an advantage, despite the fact that I said my past life I was a pizza person. Oh, that's a good point.

I got 18 plus two. So I got 20 on my first survive well i did medicine survival medicine is the same i think deception should be the third one because you're deceiving that you're good at making a pizza or nature no it's deception is good because sometimes you can just no it's nature survival or medicine those are your three you can roll to make pizza well i rolled survival and i got four and i just want to point out that I've not gotten advanced despite throwing nothing but bangers for like all season. So I rolled a 14 for nature. Okay. Can I say I casted guidance on everybody before they made their pizzas?

Yeah, why not? Everybody gets a D4 to add to their role. So that would be four plus four. So that's an eight. And I think that the whole time Taylor is just thinking that he's doing it without realizing that someone behind them is like, oh, guidance is only one willing creature. And therefore, since his concentration should only be one of these people. But the image of normal just running to and fro people just doing ghost on them is puppeting elbow.

Way too good. And I feel like it's a montage of like four hours of making calzones. Yeah. It's not like a one time thing. It's yet somehow the like ghost music music but it's the pizza pie music yeah it's that but like sensual and 90s it's like a sexy version of spitting plates every time one of us starts like fading yeah taylor keeps like squinting because he's like why is it so soft focus in here we'll say i'm doing a pizza team cheer for everybody. Give me a P, give me an I, give me a Z.

That's probably a more appropriate character relatable than a ghost. Then, you know, if you had died from a crime, you got shot by a mugger, and now you're trying to get your, what, wife? Fiance? Fiance. Fiance to solve your murder?

And you make her make out with Whoopi Goldberg. Oh, God, yeah, that's right. That's fucking great. Okay, so the original Wonder Woman plot conceit really is... Yeah, really. So the rolls you got were

8, 22, you said? 24. I got 20 plus 4. I got 18. 18. I was gonna say, I just Googled good cheers, like what are popular

cheerleading cheers, and one of them I should shoot out is just go team, go team, go team. That's a good cheer. Classic. That's the top result

on Google. Google searches bullshit now. I'm sorry. You top result on Google. Google searches bullshit now. I'm sorry. It's bad now. Okay, so what I'm going to do is. Is it average? Yes, I'm going to take the average of all of those, and that is the perception check that Dorito DeVito is going to have to make

to willingly accept these pizzas and travel with them. When he dips his cocaine nail into the pizza. Into the calzone. Rubs it on his fucking teeth and he goes, ooh, that's a spicy marinara. He takes out a big knife, cuts into the middle of the box. Okay, so what are you going to do?

What was that average? What is that? So the average is 16.6 repeating. Okay, so 17, are you going to have 17 or 16? 17. He's going to have to beat a 17 roll to notice that something is awry

with the pizza. So the calzones are made. They're pretty damn good. They are person-sized. Person-shaped even vaguely. How are you going to deal with Risky Click and then who's going to get in? Talk me through their shit. I think we all just slip into our calzones. Everyone, it's time to enter your calzone

cocoon. Oh, and we have 70. But you're not going to kill Risky Click. No, no, no. Here's the thing. We're going to be outside. It's fine because once we get rid of Risky Click, we're going to take our time. We'll be outside to kill Risky Click. No, no, no. Here's the thing. We're going to be outside. It's fine because once we get Risky Click, we're going to take our time. We'll be outside to shove Risky Click into the oven. Yeah, we just need to call Risky Click in right now. Or we could tie him up on a phone call. We're like, we need to speak to your manager.

Yeah. Oh, here's what it is. We'll put him on the phone call and then we'll put him on hold so we're not talking inside. When the bells rung, Dorito DeVito is going to show up with the walking cousin.

Yeah, so then Hermes is going to come in. And Risky Click is going to come in if he's able to. Yeah, Risky Click even was on phone call these years. He told you he was going to come in when he heard the bell. So we need Risky Click in here now. We need to disable Risky Click. We need to take him down. We need to tie him up.

Yes, we need to take him down now. How's that bathroom? Is there a lock on the bathroom? The bathroom had a lock from the inside. Yeah, but you could always put like a chair or something. Sure. There was also a broom closet. Normal runs frantically into the main room towards Risky Click and says, Mr. Click, Mr. Click, there's a chair or something. Sure. There was also a broom closet. Normal runs frantically into the main room

towards Risky Click and says, Mr. Click, Mr. Click, there's a boom boom accident in the boys' bathroom. Why don't you roll deception? Roll deception. There's a girl in the bathroom. There's a woman. There's a woman. A woman shat in the bathroom. Fuck. I got a six.

Oh, no, you idiot. It wasn't the toilet. It was in the broom closet. That's why it's a big, big disaster. So with the six that you rolled then. Well, did she get the old ice for her? I mean, I guess. Yeah, go for it. Fudge.

Natural. Oh, that's a seven. I got 11. Natural seven. So yeah, with both of those not great rolls, he goes, well, that's a good thing because that means it's time for you to learn the other element of your job here, which is cleaning up those areas. Yeah, I don't know how to do that i've never cleaned anything in my life as you can tell by smelling me he hands you a mop and he says you will figure

it out don't worry oh can you just show me where we do it please manager please oh here's what you do can you just show wait is he in the kitchen now? Yeah. Not to be too simple, but we could just, the floor was going to overpower him. Oh, he's in the room right now. Yeah, just push him into the... Okay, I push the mop into the door to block the door. Ah, yeah, he's giving us the exact tool to block the fucking door from the outside. Guys, cover his mouth.

Poor guy. Taylor was like a spider monkey in the corner above the door, Home Alone style. So the moment that he came in, Taylor drops and then just like wraps his legs and arms around his head so now he's got a roll acrobatics i'm springing a trap though like a survival no not so i'm sorry you picked a shitty character class sorry survival's fucking worthless in a campaign where

you're like not actually going on long trips and taking campfires and shit and they shut the fuck up i'm gonna make it work and then you're gonna fucking weep at how cool it's gonna be okay i think you actually built the wrong room, motherfucker. I think I'm just going to stick a tomato in his mouth. Five plus one, six. Okay, so you fall down, and he easily can tell. He feels something, like fucking the Samurais from Seven Samurai, that something's descending on him. Didn't Glyde try this move and also fuck it up?

Yeah, he sure did. And he grabs you out of the air, and he goes, what? I'm going to grab him. He knows it's coming now, so it's just full on a post strength check. And also I think Scary was going for a tomato into the mouth. Yeah. Yeah, you get to roll. Which he's allergic to. I think, are we all piling on to him now? Yeah, it sounds like y'all did it basically at the same

time. Yeah, we should all just put something. Also, isn't Lark and Sparrow helping us? Shit, I need to go get Lark and Sparrow. That'll be next. Yeah, that'll be next time. There's gotta be a full advantage with like all four of us tackling. What I'm basically doing is I'm allowing you to all do it. You're getting your surprise round because he didn't know it was going to happen. What are we rolling?

So you for stuffing a tomato in his mouth, I feel like you're rolling sleight of hand. Perhaps you're rolling a strength check link. What are you doing? Normal point of no return. We should definitely block the door. So he can't like, yeah,

that's what normal was jamming the door with. Okay. So yeah. Yeah. So the door is blocked. You're once again, trapped for the second time in two episodes. In the back of risky clicks mind. he's like, there's something familiar.

Deja vu, if you will, yeah. I got a 17 on that tomato. Wow, okay, so this tomato right into his fucking mouth. He tries to scream for help, but is unable to be heard around the edges of the forbidden fruit. Now we gotta like duct tape the tomato into his mouth so he can't. He's like slowly could chew the gag. Well, he's reaching toward it with his hand, and then you're gonna make your strength check i try to like you get a 12 okay he's gonna make a strength check 2 he got a 14 he manages to like remove your your

hands everybody roll initiative 16 2 plus 1 3 4 episodes in a row guys this will be a fast one we're just pushing them in 9 i got a 3 link it. Link, it is your turn first. I would like to tie. I'm going to take one of the like an apron or a fucking, you know, whatever, a kitchen rag, and I'm going to tie it around his head to make a gag from the tomato. Okay. Give me a sleight of hand or a strength check. 18 plus 3, 21. Ooh.

Yeah. So you dexterously tie a greasy rag around his mouth, and it pushes the tomato deeper into his throat, and he can't just spit it out now. Basically, if he wants to get rid of that thing, he's going to have to spend his entire day. That's an airway block. That's a full airway block.

He's got his nose. He's got his nose. Okay, so that was your action. That's cool. So he's going to spend. So he was next. So he's next. He can either spend his entire turn to try to take the gag off

and yank out the tomato, or he can try to remove entire turn to try to take the gag off and yank out the tomato or he can try to remove the bolt on the door we're probably grappling him right well you said you just type it there you're not grappling him he's gonna spend his entire turn trying to take the gag out of his mouth as he backs up towards the door not realizing that it's barricaded so he like bumps up against it and won't fucking move. Can that be a strength check against me though? Since I am like, I literally just tied it on him.

I am there like tying it on him. Wouldn't it be kind of like, it's not like I tied it on him and then just like put my hands up and was like, okay, sure. Just in terms of like the mechanic is mechanic is this mechanic is from the fortress.

I did do that. I tied it. I went, and I got three, you got a three, three.da! And I got a three. You got a three? I got a three. Okay, so he got a seven. So he backs up to the door

and he removes the gag and spits out the tomato and he goes, Help us find some more ingredients. And now it is Scary's turn. Okay, I'm going to... Hermie better be primed and ready to go. Hermie needs to be him instantly. I'm going to... Hermie better be primed and ready to go. Hermie needs to be him instantly.

I'm going to cast Eldritch Blast. Great. My cantrip. Great. And I'm going to try to aim it so that he goes into the oven. His back is to the door of the kitchen, which is the opposite side of the kitchen from the oven. If you want to try to move him there, you'll have to do it physically or whatever. But if you just want to hit him with an Eldritch Blast,

that's also totally fine. I'll do Eldritch Blast in his head, but in a non-TBI sort of way. Just a polite concussion. Just a nice little movie knockout. Not an actual consequences having been. We'll determine how non-lethal it is based on how much damage you do.

Okay. Because I know how much HP he has and I know how much, if you go over, it will not be non-lethal It's definitely injured from last combat. Yeah, yeah, risky click didn't have a chance at short rest either. No, he didn't fucking answer He's always grinding so I got a 14 did you add anything to it? You just rolled a straight 14? I'm gonna add four to it alright So you roll nate's in yeah, so yeah, you got an 18 so that definitely hits him big money big money

That's a nine. His head explodes. No! Ah! Ah! Oh my God, scary! What the fuck? I quit.

Everybody who was grappling him, his fucking chunks of what used to be Risky Click just fucking slap you in the face. You're covered in it. That's a spicy marinara. Yeah. There's no way we're getting our break after this. Okay. Okay. Well, let's just... Problem're getting our break after this. Okay. Okay.

Well, let's just. Problem about the toilet. Problem about the toilet. I should start handing everyone syringes and normal just stabs himself. No. No. I stop. I try to stop him.

No. No. You're going to forget the plan. You be present. You be present. You learn from this. You learn from this normal. Okay.

All right. I mean, he was basically enslaving us, right? So, like, that's bad. He was not a good guy. He wasn't a good guy. He was the normal. Okay. All right. I mean, he was basically enslaving us, right? So, like, that's bad. He was not a good guy. He wasn't a good guy. He was the manager. Ew. Taylor is, like, carefully propping him up on the toilet so that, like, from beneath

you see his feet. And it's like, I do feel weird about pulling his pants down. I'll just kind of bunch up the cloth here a little bit around his ankles. Close the door. You put a sign up that says Do not go in there! We print up, we go online, we find that meme on Facebook and we post that picture.

I think Hermie just does that to the people in the cafeteria. Oh yeah, Hermie comes out. That's Hermie's introduction. Yeah, Hermie comes out and he goes, Hey everyone, I'm about to miterate.

Do not go in there! Woo! And he closes the door behind him, and he sees the corpse of the person that he was training to be, and he sort of like looks at it with a curious eye, and then he dips a finger into the blood of his neck, and he just puts it beneath both of his eyes,

and he goes, I'm ready. Oh my God. Order up! Enter the calzones, boys and lady. And then we grab Larkin Sparrow. So Norm emerges pale, trembling, flop sweat and goes to find Larkin Sparrow. Larkin Sparrow are working the cash registers as usual.

You see in the back of Sparrow's waistband, he's got the syringe Lark told you about that you're supposed to use that on him when you're ready to talk with him. And both of them are just taking orders and stuff. Orders by the way backed up so hard. What's going on? We heard they were singing for more ingredients.

The first thing they forget is how long they've been in line though. Hello gentlemen, a fellow Papa John's employee here. I need two of you to help us with a special order in the pack. A special order of course. And they both follow you in. Okay boys get in the calzones. What? I need two of you to help us with a special order in the back. A special order, of course. And they both follow you in. Okay, boys, get in the calzones.

What? I need you to both be real big, brave boys right now and get into these giant calzones, okay? Ew. I mean, can you do that for me, though? They look at each other and they're both, ew, I don't, ew. Can you do it, though?

Can you please get in the calzone, please? It's hot. For Pete's sake. And I grab the syringe that Sparrow has hidden behind him and I boop him with it. Oh wow okay. His pupils dilate and he looks around and immediately pulls you into a big hug. Oh. Hi dad hey it's me it's normal uh lots going on we need you to get in this cal zone. I'm sorry I said I wasn't proud of you. Oh I oh for real? Hey make sure that's the right one. Are you sorry you said it or you don't believe it?

I'm sorry I said it. Oh, well, let's get into the calzone so I can rescue you from the dumb situation you got yourself in. And we'll talk about it. Well, you know what? We'll talk about it later. Okay, dad? Well, this is going to wear off at some point, but yeah, we can talk about it later. Yeah, it's fine.

We'll talk about it later. You two are small enough. You could probably fit in one calzone if you want to talk to your dad on the trip. Yeah. Yeah, how about it's four? You want to slide inside a calzone with your dad? You're man all right just get in the calzone too old to share a calzone with your pop-pop all right normal and sparrow get into a calzone together oh sparrow looks at lark he goes hey lark i bet i can fit inside one of these calzones better than you and

lark goes no you can't lark runs into one of the calzones and just you and Lark goes, no you can't! Lark runs into one of the calzones and just like, rips it open with his hands, he's, ow, it's hot, I don't care, I'm fine though, I don't feel the pain, I don't feel the pain, strong boy! And he gets inside and like, you just see him like, pull the flaps closed. He pulls the flaps closed and then you see the dough like do that little like twisty pattern. These calzones look like they've been folded

from the inside. How did you do that? You're amazing. Columbo staring at it. Just one more thing. You know, it's funny. My wife makes calzones. She says you have to fold them from the outside.

So, yes, everyone is within their calzone. And right before my calzone gets zipped up, my hand goes up and dings the order bell. Hermie's like, I could have done that. He goes, okay, we're boxing you up. Before I get into my calzone with my dad, I go up to Hermie and I'm like, Hermie, I'm like pretty nervous about talking to my dad. Like, do you have any like advice? Like you seem really wise and like, you know what you're doing and like, you're really

confident and like, I'm really nervous about talking to my dad about like this stuff. And like, should I just not talk about it? Should I just pretend every like, how do I pretend everything's fine? Like you're good at pretending stuff. Don't pretend anything's fine, Norm. Nothing's fine. Everything's fucked up. That's right.

I said it. The F word. Wow. This is coming from a calzone. It's just like bouncing up and down. It's bouncing a little bit so you know that's the one talking. I can't really hear it. It's just like.

Scary. I don't know. Like, I love my dad. And if I yell at him, like, I feel like I'm never going to stop yelling at him. And I don't want to hate him my dad and if i yell at him like i feel like i'm never gonna stop yelling at him and i don't want to hate him but i'm mad at him take it as a woman sometimes you have more power by not yelling just a firm glare and a harsh word what am i saying i have no power no matter what you're very powerful scary i just want you to know that and i say that yeah you blew that guy's head up yeah you blew a guy's oh god she did oh i shake my box i'm like

hey i'm in this cowzone over here, buddy. Here, come on. I want to tell you something. I lean in. Hey, look, man. I offered that you guys could go in the same calzone because I find sometimes with my dads, you just got to sit down and talk. It's going to really force you to just work it out.

It's not going to be pleasant in that calzone. I mean, one, you're in a calzone, but two, it's just going to be a tough talk. But just get it out. Talk to them. We're going to be in there for a long time. So just, you know, see your feelings. Don't leave anything on the table. Otherwise it gets old and gross. What if I say something that hurts his feelings and he hates me? He's already not proud of me. Like I don't want him to hate me. I'm going to get worse, man. He'll never, that's what the redemption arc is for. Okay.

He'll never hate you. You know what? If he hates you, that's on him, man. He's your dad. That's his job. So just, just tell him how you feel. Okay. You got this, Norm. And make an air hole. Yeah, so you can breathe. Can you guys breathe? Are you okay? No, I can't really breathe, but it's pretty cool. I stick my finger like through, so you see a little finger come out. I give you a little wave with one finger, too.

Good luck in there. It's scary. This is for you. And I poke my finger in to give her an air hole as well, so you can breathe. I stick my middle finger out, too. and I poke my finger in to give her an air hole as well. So you can breathe. I stick my middle finger out too. Okay, thanks for the pep talk, everybody.

And I crawl into the calzone with my dad. So Hermie goes, okay, fuck me then. Oh wait, no, I'm Harvey. No, it's fine. I toss my coin and he shows you the coin. You can see that on one end of the coin is a crude scratching of Hermie's face. On the other end is like the drama mask.

And he flipped it and it came up Hermie face. He's I was gonna give you some advice from Hermes heart but that's fine I lean in I lean in I go hey I didn't even know there was a Hermes here because somebody's such a good actor are you who the fuck do you think you're talking to right now oh I'm sorry sir do you think I need your pandering do Do you think I need the reviews? The Glassdoor reviews that you're trying to offer me right now? Glassdoor reviews for acting? If we were going to review you, Hermie, I'd say you're real great. And I'm sorry I didn't get your advice.

It sounds like it would have been really something. No, it's great. No, it's totally cool to ask for advice, then not take it, as you're leaving me behind to die in this plan. Hermie. No, you know what? No, zip. And he just goes ahead just closes the cardboard box.

My fist was out for a fist pound from Hermie, my homie. I'm like, good job, bro. And he fist pounds. He goes, thanks, bro. That's why you're my favorite. Yep. So far. Don't worry about it, man.

It's pretty whack of him to fucking volunteer. Now he's complaining. Yeah, it's awesome. It's just doing the same thing. I can hear all of this. How do we all come back for you? Ding, ding, ding. And then I get into the calzone. Ding, ding, ding. And then I get into the calzone. Okay, so you are enmeshed in warm cheese and pizza sauce.

It feels not unsafe. It feels not unlike the womb. The womb. The womb. And you hear the heavy steps. The womacy. The womacy. The possessive womacyisi womasi I have returned to the womasi deep inside your posisi you hear three sets

of footprints approaching and you hear a voice that sounds identical to Risky Clicks saying there you are there are seven very large calzones hurry up this is an important client at the Empire Center. And Dorito DeVito says,

who the fuck do you think you are to talk to me that way? And you hear footsteps get closer. He goes, I'm the shift manager. And this is my shift. And you just hear them staring at each other. And then DeVito goes, well, let me check him out. And each of you in turn see some light begin to, and you can see the silhouette

through the fleshy, doughy exterior of your cocoon. You can see him like looking at you, drawing a finger across the skin. Does he have nose like in front of the air holes? Stiff, stiff, stiff. And he is going to roll to see if he believes that these are truly calzones or not. And we got a 17, right? Yes, at least match or beat

a 17. In the calzone, Scary is slowly sliding the knife out. I haven't jerked off in a good 17 hours. So you got a 7? You got a 7. So he goes,

how did you get the folding to happen inside? How did you do it? These are the most beautiful calzones I've ever fucking seen. Let's go, calzones. The calzone carbuncles help him pick them up, and you hear for the first time the sound of the garage door opening, and you hear the purr of the engine

of the pussy wagon. You feel yourselves get lifted up, and placed down in the back of the pussy wagon, You feel yourself get lifted up and placed down in the back of the pussy wagon, which is like vibrating beneath you, which is even more soothing now. It's warm as a normal falls asleep. Probably falls asleep too. And you hear the car start.

Bah! And then you start moving. Hey, Dad. So, here I am. So you're not in your suit. Yeah, I lost it a while ago. You know, I've been rethinking all that lately. Oh, is it because of what I said? Yeah, yeah.

I mean, you know, I mean, I guess I kind of always knew you didn't, you know, I knew you loved me, but I never really got the vibe that you or mom, like, like me that much, so. Oh, I don't know about that. No, I love you. And I just, I'm worried about you. That's the thing is I'm really worried about me for your uncle.

And I didn't get to be kids for very long. We had a very unusual. I read about that. Yeah. It seems like you guys. Yeah. Pretty, pretty crazy.

Yeah. And when I look at you and I see you making a lot of decisions that you make, I see somebody who's also maybe a little destined to not have a normal childhood. And I never wanted that for you. I kind of got that from the way you named me growing up. Yeah, it felt like I was maybe too on the nose and I was tempting fate with that one. But I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you should just do whatever makes you happy. And but I don't know.

You were so obsessed. Even when you were in kindergarten, you fell on your face once and all the kids laughed and you didn't know they were laughing at you. So every time you came into class, you'd fall on your face again. Well, you'd be the word liar with that. It was funny. Yeah. So there's laughing with and laughing at.

You're such a sweet boy. You've never laughed at anybody. You've never had a mean spirited bone in your body. And that scares the shit out of me because this world is mean. Yeah. Well, I mean, I get all that, Dad. I understand. But like, I'm happy.

I just like being who I am. I just wish you were proud of me. Like, if you want to talk about like what doesn't feel normal, it's that my dad thinks I'm stupid for being the way I am. That sucks. Yeah, that that makes sense. That makes sense. Maybe that's just the way you and I appreciate that, you know, I can see why it would be important for you that I be happy and that I be you know, that you had this weird, you know, crazy childhood with Grandpa Henry and Grandma Mercedes and you and Lark. And it was seemed like it was really hard. And I'm sorry that it's like that. But to

be honest, I'm also like, I don't feel normal now. I felt normal to all this shit happened that you did that I'm dealing with. That's yeah, that's the thing I was the most afraid of more so than than you not having, you know, a friend or somebody to date or just because people are laughing at you. I was way more scared that you'd be involved in all this. And the fact that you are, that you're having to deal with the things that Lark and I started. And he starts to like, for some reason, you feel the pizza around you getting a little saltier as some of his tears begin to leak into the cheese and tomato sauce. Dad, are you crying? No.

I turn around and face him. He's crying. It's my fault. Like everything you're going through right now it's my and lark's fault and i'm sorry i was trying to make a better world for you we were all trying to make a better world for you that's all any of us wanted to do grant and terry jr and all those people and we fucked it up and i'm sorry that you have to be in this situation you're right i'm the last person in the world who should be able to judge you for anything given all the things that I have done. Normal just starts crying and hugs him. I'm sorry, Dad.

I'm just I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I was mean to you. And I'm sorry that you're not proud of me. And I'm sorry that everything's screwed up. And I you don't want it to be like this, you know, and I don't want it to be like this. But it is like this. Right. If I did what you and Lark did, I would feel terrible about it.

And I know you probably feel terrible about it, too. So let's just, you know, let's just go forward from here. OK, why don't we just figure it out together, OK? Yeah, yeah. That sounds good. And I'm glad that you feel OK with what Lark and I did, because I think to kill the doodler, we're all going to have to do it again. What? No one knows me better than myself And I know I'll get this right

It's just a matter of time till we make it out alive We gotta pick ourselves up and say Not today, no, not today We live for tomorrow, make steel and borrow We gotta pick ourselves up and say, not today, no, not today. We live for tomorrow, make steel and borrow, break where we can't change. We gotta pick ourselves up and say, not today, no, not today. I don't need your sorrow, come back tomorrow, I'll be on my way. I'll be on my way. I'll be on my way.
