Academy is a new scripted podcast that follows Ava Richards, a brilliant scholarship student attending Bishop Gray Academy, the country's most exclusive boarding school. Academy takes you into the world of a cutthroat private school where power, money, and sex collide in a game of life and death. Binge all 10 episodes of Academy, early, and ad-free on Wondering Plus. Since his death in 2009, the world has struggled with how Michael Jackson should be remembered, as the King of Pop, or as a monster. The new podcast Think Twice, Michael Jackson, offers a fresh perspective on the art and the artist, his life, his work, and his legacy. Listen to Think Twice, Michael Jackson, wherever you get your podcasts.

The following podcast, however hobbled by the loss of one of its principle and loudest characters, continues to be not real. But, like a passenger consumed with a game of shuffleboard while the Titanic sinks beneath the waves, this podcast continues to enjoy the support of cards against humanity. If you want to send a package to the show, send it to Cards Against Humanity 1917 North Elston, Chicago, Illinois, 606, 4-2. Care of Arnie Neckamp, Vermillion-Minator, Town of Hogsface, Land of Foon. Enjoy this Usador-Free Show. Okay, let's do this.

Hello from the Magic Tavern. A weekly podcast from the Magical Land of Foon. I'm your host, Arne Neacamp. If you've never listened to the podcast from the Magical End of Foon. I'm your host, Arne Neacamp. If you've never listened to the podcast before, this is what's going on. About a year and a half ago, I fell through a dimensional portal behind a Burger King

into the magical... It doesn't matter anymore. Yeah, well, it doesn't matter. We got it, we do these things. It doesn't matter. I think it'll maybe help to just... I don't want to go through... I don't want to do our normal routine where you aren't

spaying what happened to you, and then we introduce each other. Well, Chant, I'm just going through the motions right now. I know, and I have been for a week. Look, okay, I guess I don't need to explain the whole backstory, but I will explain to the listeners, because I want people to know our really good friend, Yusador, at the wizard. Don't say it. He... he died. No, he turned into friend used to door at the wizard. Don't say it. He died.

No, he turned into a vampire apparently. And none of us saw the signs. They were very subtle. And I still don't believe it. And I still feel like he was just in love. And a monster, a monster hunter killed him. And I feel like it was my fault because I invited him to sit at the table and be interviewed on the podcast.

Don't blame yourself, this is not your fault. We spent all week trying to track the monster hunter down, trying to get the stone that he killed Yusudor with. I actually went to the library to read books on the stone to see if there's like a spell to reverse it and nothing. I didn't read the answer on the stone, but I took all the time and resources I could, and I started to look into... I started to look into dark magic, because I'm going to find something that brings it back. Yes. There's got to be a spell that brings it back to

life, and I don't care what it takes. I don't care if I have to lose my arm again. I'll bring you to the door back. I will. I promise. You know I've been dead, right? Pizza skull. Pizza skull. Yeah, I can't be mad when pizza skulls here I'd not went to pizza hell. Yeah, well look. Yeah. Oh, yeah, he's been you defeated you defeated pizza hell, right? Yeah Yeah, what was that like? Well, you see I died in a pizza related accident And then I came over the seven great pizza challenges to return to fune is fune's Champion of pizza. Well, look, Yucidar, I said Yucidar.

Well, look, Chant is my co-host, he's King of the Badger. My other, oh, you have this. We can never replace my other co-host. No. But, you know, just to cheer us up, my special co-host this week is Pizza Skull. Hey, what's going on? You know what cheer you guys up.

What's that? Pizza. Whoa! I mean pizza. He brought a, he brought a spita. Wow, this is, this pizza does look. This is incentient pizza like you, right? No, no, no, no.

I wish I could eat it in the morning. In fact, I can't. Whoa. Oh, I love pizza. It came out of both ends and then ate it back down. Man, pizza skull, you're really pumping the morning zoo crew vibe into this podcast. Oh, you know what baby?

I gotta say, as sad as I am, it helps to have pizza skull hair. Leave that chair open though. We're gonna leave you to the worst channel. the morning zoo crew vibe into this podcast. Oh, you know, baby. Yeah. Wow. I gotta say as sad as I am, it helps to have pizza school hair. Leave that chair open though. We're gonna leave you to the worst chair open. You used to the worst chair is empty. You know what? You used to know as my friend too. I'm gonna leave one piece of pepperoni here on this chair.

Oh, thank you. Well, yeah. Wow, that's the, that's the most. Not a whole piece of pizza, just a piece of pepperoni. Just that one pepperoni. That's the most deep I've ever seen. Pizza school. Yeah, pizza school. That's some deep pizza. Pizza school is rarely? Just that one pepperoni. That's almost deep I've ever seen pizzas go, yeah, pizza-scall. Some deep pizza.

Pizza-scall is rarely serious, but that was just, oh man, I wanna eat that pepper when something bad happens you go back to work You keep you distract yourself and and I'm excited to do the podcast and I'm excited interview my next guest I'm excited to talk to I'm sure I'm mispronouncing this Cabarón Valentin. Oh you are so very close my friend. It is Cabarón Valentin Cabarón Cabarón Cabarón Cabarón Valentin. You can really roll that Cabarón. Yeah Cabarón Valentin. Oh pizza.? Caberon Valentin. You can really roll that. Caberon Valentin. Yeah. Caberon Valentin.

Oh, pizza. Pizza's called a very good semane. Oh, thank you. So Caberon. Yes, yes, yes. You heard tree. Yes, I'm a tree. I'm a tree from the forest of the fourth realm,

the land of two moons. Wow, the land of two moons. Yes, we have two moons at night. That's crazy. So there's a part of the moon that has two moons. Wow, the land of two moons. Yes, we have two moons and nine. That's crazy. So there's a part of phone that has two moons. Yeah. And there's a saying there, when the moons hit your eyes, like a big piece of ice. It's like two pieces, but something, but that is once a year, because they're on different cycles. So once a year, you get two full moons and it looks like two pizzas or two eyes

or two pepperonis and that is when we have a festival in the forest. It's beautiful. Beautiful. What kind of felt, like what happens at the festival? Oh, it is, okay. So it's a passionate festival. We'll re-give thanks to all the moons

for giving us light when the sun takes a nap. And so the sun gives us light because I'm a tree. And so then, gives us a lot, because I'm a tree. And so then, but then it goes to bed, because it gets tired. So then two moons come out. And they say we'll do a little bit of work. And so two moons does a little bit, but the song does most of it.

Sure. Yeah. So it's like a celebration. It's celebrating the friends that help a little bit. Yeah, it's like, we're thankful. it's like a festival where you give thanks. Like a new festival where like you watch tell everyone how grateful and what you're thankful for. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You give thanks. It's like you give thanks for it for the moon. Do you like pizza? Oh, yes, I love pizza, but I cannot eat it. I drink water and sun is my food. Oh, yes. So when you say you like pizza, you just like, like losing at it. Yeah.

And I like to see people smile. Let me get you a round of water and sun. Oh, thank you so much. John, what is your favorite food? Oh, what is your favorite food? My favorite food. I gotta say my mom's spice potatoes. Oh, your mom, that is so good for you.

Do you not have a mom? No, I have a tree. The tragedy of being a tree is that you grow and you look around and the village, the forest raise you. Sure. And you don't really have a mom or a dad. Because when they have you, who knows where they go. Yeah.

I really want to ask you a question, but I don't know how to make a pizza related. How do you how do you move around? Yes, I'm Greg West. How am I in this town? And now my roots are not taking hold in the ground. That's the thing with trees We usually let our roots get into the soil while we cannot move But there's a trick about trees that people may not know in the land of food. Tell us tell us we can move when we want to. Wow. We just, you can move when you want to. We can leave your friends behind.

Behind. And I did tonight to be with new friends. That is amazing. And I wanted to move. So guess what? What? I did. Oh, I have to say seeing a tree move around is super entertaining. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Sorry. I took there Yeah, and entertaining. So what made you what inspired you to come into the tavern tonight? Oh, well I heard about your loss. Yeah, and I know how it can be because every winter I die. Yeah, every winter Every winter, but then guess what in the spring I come back to life So I came to this tavern of magic to tell you that maybe this is a winter for usador

But maybe just maybe if the the moon smile upon you spring will come and grow again That's no male. That is beautiful. Thank you so much So that I came to leave so give support Is it support? That's the word you have you struggle with and if every word so far support I don't get it Because the you and the all do not make the sounds are supposed to yeah support it should be support Super super super yeah, just making me think about soup. No Super pork. Oh I like this business go man. He crazy. Oh, okay, you know who if if you had told me that we would have an episode without

Use it or and it would be our loudest episode ever I would not have believed you do you have any sort of Fruit or any does do you bear anything? I do bear. I so it is different. I different edges for trees and I do bear so it is different. I different edges for trees and in my forest the forest of Corazon is different Okay, so when you are young you bear fruit fresh nectarines, which is people don't think about a lot like Nectarines are like a fruit, but like no one eats them, but like they're so good. Yeah, I've never eaten an nectarine Oh, you should have a nectarine especially from the forest of Corazon It is a juicy juicy filled with vitamins, but then that's really cool. Oh, there the fruit a nectarine, especially from the forest of Corazon and it is a juicy juicy field of vitamins But then that's really called older the fruit the heart is into a knot Okay, and so you know like I'm not I can identify with that. Okay, and so they I am all this sounds crazy to me man

I feel like as I'm getting harder my fruits been hardening to a nut. Jesus you just ah Well, maybe you sick maybe. Maybe. But who knows? Maybe you get mad. I'm a poet, something. Oh, but then, so I do not bear, but now my leaves have matured and I bring passion to older people in their marriage when they make a commitment.

Yeah. They pluck my leaves at the first rain of the spring. And I have to say the coloring of your foliage is just beautiful. Oh, thank you. Yeah. Well, I get in order and some deep purples and just very deep purple when you get older it's very deep purple and people get embarrassed because it's like some people purple too early, sure.

And like people try to like do different colors but it's like just go with it man. Yeah, it works for you. You're a purple fox. Oh, I think a purple fox and dickling. Could you imagine from a, and I don't mean to be disrespectful. I just wanna hear it from a tree. Jizz, what is the difference between an nectarine and a tangerine?

I'm glad you asked. A nectarine has no seeds. So once you eat it, it's gone. But really? Yeah, but tangerine, they have seeds. So you can grow trees from the fruit. But you cannot grow fruit from nectarines. Wow, you don't have stone fruit, man.

It's a stone fruit. Like a pizza stone that you eat of a pizza on. Huh? You know I've never eaten a Tangerine. Really? No, Rienz. No, Rienz. No, Rienz.

No, Rienz for Arny. Yeah, I've got a Reno problem. Oh, no. Hard nuts and Reno problems aren't we need you to have greens Come to the forest of Corazon you would be a king. I would be a king Jazz look you tower above other beings you would be with fill at home you would be one of us I'm I am kind of tree-sized. Yeah, I mean like baby tree I don't mean to be mean but like a baby sure that is true. Looked up your arms. Let's see branches

Pretty good. Yeah, I could see birds making a whole life on your arms That sounds outbirds. I don't want to think about birds on we need to do I love birds. I tell you a separate fucking starlings Tell us you could about trees. Yeah, please. Please. We do not like birth We have all birds. Oh man birds live inside of you man That was secret about trees. Yeah, please. No, please. We do not like births. We have all birds. Oh, man, the birds live inside of you, man. Just they live inside of us. We lack squalls.

Yeah. We lack chill monks. We lack flying squalls. We do not like birds. Huh. And then is it about birds? So you don't like? We're the loud.

Sure. And sometimes they never do something for you. So they live inside you. But squalls know what they do. They scratch you so they live inside you. Yeah, but schools know they do Yeah, they scratch you They'll itch they take your nuts they bury him like a phone game and then guess what super kit They it is a cycle boat birds. They take they take they take and I don't want to generalize all birds But I mean no people are afraid to say it. It's all birds. Yeah, yeah, so come around

I want to I want to follow up on something you said earlier. Yes, you help people fall in love again. Yeah, so you know if you go when you grow old and you're with someone and like it's like a fireplace that the fire guard. Yeah, this you take my leaves and you boil it in the water of the first rain of spring. And when you boil this water, you drink the tea and then the passion gets a little bit inside. Little bit inside of you and you're love again. And that's why the favorite thing on phone is to find people falling low. Yeah. Yeah.

God, I ask you a question. Yeah, of course. Well, other tables of turns. Yeah. I like, you know, what? I ask questions. I love having easy, okay, I mean, I'm a, is it okay that I'm, I came all this way. I'm a trade course. I took many years to come. Yeah, I'm a trade course. Yeah, my roots are not mobile very much.

Well, someday kill me. But yeah, I have love in my heart, and probably I do have pizza in my heart as well with some day kill me. But yeah, I have love in my heart. Oh, that amazing. I have love. I have love for, you know, my family at home, but I have love for my friends, and I have love for, I've grown to really love the people of Hanks face and the people of Foon.

That's beautiful, and also I have to claim, I think that's possibly the first interview and food that's featured the roots. I do have arrows. I just, I think that life is so precious. Yeah. That the only thing is love. Sure. The only thing is love. Cheers!

Uh-huh. Yes, Arnie. Yes. Okay. Cheers! Arnie, cheers! But Capurone, do you have love? You know, you keep keep talking about getting other people

to find love or experience love. Like, what is tree love? Yeah, what's your dating life like? I do not dare. I have been in love one time in my life. I was a very young, sure. Nectarine bearing tree. So young in my life, sure.

I fell in love with someone who hurt me Her name was Pam Pam and she was a woodpecker Oh, yeah, so she would hurt me but I liked it and I would not mind It's so good. Yeah, and then she left me for another whoopacker. Oh another wolf packer. Oh, that laughing one. Yeah, it's the one that laughs. I hate that. That guy. Yes, you owe it. And he, if I felt like he was laughing at me, yeah, yeah. So if you love a woodpecker, that's still life, you know, you still have a life. Yeah. So you still life, it's still life, it's still life with woodpecker. Yeah. So it's better to have loved and lost the one. No, I do not think that

No, I think it's no, nobody's better. Would you prefer to have never had your woodpecker? Yes. Oh, yes, my woke up back to hard and oh And I say the wounds go too deep and so my so you know how they say your the bark is worse Yeah, mine is worse. Yeah, my bark is is worse. Yeah let's get you some more water and sunshine. Yeah let's take a break and let's learn some more about your forest. Thank you Arnie. Thank you. You might take one of these leaves. Oh John it would be a little weird. It would be a privilege. Oh okay. Oh thank you so much I appreciate it. Just in case. Thank you John. Pizza. Just in case. Pizza. Do I anything? No I don't need anything man. I'm in'd want pizza. Just in case. Pizza. Do you want anything? No, I don't need anything, man. I'm in love with pizza.

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. Hi, everyone. This is Tannik and the Terrible. I mean, Tannik and the Penguin. I just wanted to put an ad out there to see if anyone knows how to bury a body, a large body. If anyone has any information, come see me

behind the tavern where I'll be digging a hole and rubbing myself in dirt Bye-bye So cap around yes, what like What is the future hold for you? Yes, I don't know what tree is that is that a different way of saying what's next? What is the future hold for you? Baby just trying to cry. I'm sorry. I love you. I love you too, buddy

I can tell you as a love each other. We do sometimes you fight, but then you come back Yeah, and that's how you know You want to try some pizza? No, I pizza. Oh Jesus Christ Trying to talk to you for a second. Yeah, what's up? I don't know What do you mean? I look he's the most fun dude? This call is the most fun dude. He's great and maybe and look obviously maybe I'm just unfairly comparing him to use it or Because who what could what could nothing's in the top you story? Nothing is gonna top you so but maybe we shouldn't have him on the podcast Every week we have to have someone I don't want to just you know if it's just you and I We have to have someone, I don't want to just, you know, if it's just you and I, we're just gonna be projecting our time.

I don't mean to, I don't mean to end the world. You piece us, right in my eyes. So, piece of skull is using one of my branches as a skateboard, right now? Oh, hey! Hey, baby! Wow! That's pretty good.

He's a great, he's amazing. Whoa, he just did a, what is that 360 degrees? It's easy when you don't have a body of legs. We can figure this out later, I guess. Okay, yeah, I just, I feel like we should have someone who is happy. And I feel like right now I can't conjure up happiness. Yeah. So I feel like we need someone to keep the energy up and to... That was extreme.

Caparone, do you mind that he took a part of your, just ripped apart? No, because I am a tree, so if you need food, take my fruit. If you need shelter, take my branches. If you need more shelter, cut down my trunk. And if you need a place to sit, I make a very good storm. Man, you are such a giving tree. Yeah, you are a very giving tree.

Yes, when he took my branch, it felt like I had a missing piece. But now I give more. Wow, I feel like that's a missing piece, but no, I give more. Wow. I feel like that's, you know, the story that you just told, I feel like as a child, I would find it adorable, but as a adult, I would find it sad and kind of horrified. It's very sad. Yeah, it's very sad. Explain to me how it's sad. I mean, like, you're just, you give so much of yourself until you're gone. Yes, but then you are assuming the world is fair. Oh. So you're assuming that when you, what you give will be reciprocated,

but we know that it's not the world. We know that the moons disappear and we don't know where they go. We know that song gets tired. Yeah. So why don't I just give and who cares if it's reciprocated? I mean that makes a lot of sense. I feel like this is the most philosophical guess we've ever had. I think you're right It's a tree like I never would I know offense. I never would have thought like this tree is like, you know About a lot of time the thing our most trees like you are you like a standard tree or Yes, but like

We like snowflakes like uh, like, so we differ, but like we have, so, nectarine, oh, nectarine bearing, they're, they're, they're impulsive, they think they're always right, then we get older and we live for so many centuries and so many errors that we now know a lot, we feel like we know things in our, in Bark. Yeah in our leaves in our in our

Ruse-Sap-D-P-A-S-Sap-D-V-S Because when you when you caught me do I do I not bliss that probably yeah, I don't really entirely know how trees work But I think I assume so no we are ever ever You probably need to cut cut you in a specific way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can't just go and expand it as out Yeah, no, are you can't just go and expand it as well. Yeah, you know what are you? Sure, what are you? Bird. How many, I don't know if this is a rude question.

How many rings are you? Oh, okay, I tell you. Spoiler learned about trees. Yeah, we never know we can just guess. Yeah, because we can't color ourselves over. Yeah, that's like you're sad and don't do that. Yeah, are some trees cutters? Oh, yes, yes, yes, and guess what?

They make a sound. So the tree cuts itself in the woods. It makes you feel it. Oh, we hear it and we say, no! And then, no one does a funeral. I'm so sorry to bring rings. Wow. Wow. Just, just, just. That's old.

Just, just. The other time I hear some time is other little trees. Lumberjackin' off. Yeah! Ha ha ha! Yeah! You need some weight, Sean. Can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah. Let's have pizza skull on every episode. Right? Yeah! Right! I was, he was losing me for a little bit, but that lumberjackin' off. Yeah, that's a hundred percent my wheelhouse Oh, I just got it. Yeah. Oh sure

I you know, I feel like sometimes it takes you on excuse me for that. Can I have those mushrooms growing around your feet? You can take one but but be careful Be careful because they make your mind play tricks on your heart Isn't it the mind's job to play tricks on your heart? No, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. James, well, it depends. Where's your heart located? I guess in my skull. Your mind is where your heart is? Like, wow. I don't know if I've got a heart or a mind. I don't say it's an bone.

Can I, can I, can I, can I, can I make something to you? Yeah. I just got a reflection of my, of my, of my visage in this reflection of his pizza skull sunglasses. And I have, I have gotten more purple in my Lee's I look I feel is embarrassing. No, no, no, I looked in the like a geisha. Oh, I was like is that me? Oh, is that my dad? Oh, it's me. Yeah, it's me

But I never met my dad so I won't know. No, you're 45,000 rings young. Oh, yeah, I like when he says my name. Yeah, I do. Your name is like a verb. Yeah, yeah, it kind of is. Yeah, you have to say it with parp. You know what? I'm hungry. You're always hungry. What a jam. Sure. Can I talk to you for? Yeah, of course. That's not a happy to call. Really? All he talked about is pizza. Yeah, which gets my mind off used to do it. Okay. All right. Okay. Hey, I'm gonna ask the tree something good. Sure. I want to ask you you've been around 45,000 rings Which is a long time. Yes. Have you ever seen or heard of anything

Anything dying and coming back to life one of the moon's diamonds what one? 2000 rings ago the moon disappear Uh-huh for many many rings and, the moon disappeared. For many, many rings. And then the moon come back. So we thought, good for the moon. Yeah. You know, come around, Jess,

are you guys sure the second moon is a moon? Like, if there was a second moon over a part of a moon, wouldn't you see it in every part of a moon? Like, is there a possible, there's just another thing up there that you guys think is a moon? Boy, it's in the sky, is it not? Yeah. And it only comes out at night, does it not?

Shhh, I mean, sounds like the moon to me. But, but, John, is there a second moon? I've never seen a second moon over Hogs face. I mean, I've heard about a second moon, but I haven't seen one. You know what, Caberoon, I feel like the way you say things, I immediately am like, yeah, that's profound. And then I think about them for a minute, I'm like, that doesn't make any sense. Oh, no, no. The wise man does not think, but the fool is a man.

Wow, wow, yeah. Wait, no, but what? Doesn't mean anything. Yes, it does. What does that mean? I don't know, but it sounds profound as fuck I will show you a baby that has courage and then I will show you an old man with a foot Yeah, oh my gosh think about that, but I want to meet that baby. Oh when I think about it I don't know what that means it means what it means Different things mean different things Arnie. Different things do mean different things.

He literally left the tab He's already already The tabber that's actually for us again. Yeah, I want to have pizza skull on always I don't know I mean can we change the name of the podcast? Can we call it hello from the pizza skull?

Hello from the pizza skull. Yeah, maybe if he ever comes back. I wait if he comes back I 100% want to grill him Don't about Yeah, maybe if he ever comes back, if he comes back, I 100% wanna grill him. Uh-huh, don't. Up about. I'm about what that space station, if there's a space station hovering over a part of food, maybe that could be something that can help me get back home. Hey, let me ask you, Cabo Ron.

Yes. What do you think of pizza school? I like them. Yeah, a lot of personality. Oh, he knows who he is. He's got passion in his heart and action in his... I want to say body. Yeah, body.

But I did not know the words. Yeah, find it. And I feel like for now, he's going to be our support system. Maybe. Can you say support system? Support, support system. Yeah, you got it. You got it.

Yeah, I'm not sure why that's hard to say. Where you have for support, there needs to be a different word. Yeah, there does need to be a different word. So, Capuron, it's been a real delight meeting you. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to meet you on the... And John, to meet you as well. It is, you have made an old tree for your younger game. Thank you. And you know what you helped us through kind of a difficult time. Yeah, thank you very much.

With every dark cave, one man can find the light. That is true. I feel like I'll chew on that for years. Yeah. Okay. Well anyway, you know if you want to email, John, did you get any emails this morning? Yeah, I did. This is to John to gmail.com, of course, that's John with 60s. This is from Carl Strength. He says, hey, John, I just saw on Twitter

that Arnie has a t-shirt. Does Arnie really look, does Arnie really look like the picture on the shirt? If so, can you call him the magic love child of Bob Villa and Guy Firery? People on Earth will love it. Thank you. Huh. Well, I did recently hear that apparently there's a new tea. There's finally a meat t-shirt. If you go to EarWolf.com, if you go to their store, there's a t-shirt that says, I don't want to talk about Earth stuff.

It's you can get it in salmon or in blue and it's got a picture of me. Why would you say I don't want to talk about Earth stuff? That's because I say that sometimes. I guess you said it. But also I don't look like those people they said. I have another one here from Nick Waddle. So, look John, I'm very excited to see the newest episode of this American life entitled Becoming a Badger. I thought it would be all about you

but instead it was about some comedian and some dog. Imagine my disappointment. I thought for sure I'd get more John in my podcast listening. More John equals more fun. Hmm, what's this American life? Oh, it's a great podcast It just talks about you know stories from people's lives and Can we do a spin-off called this food life? Yeah, let's do it. Can it be about your life in food? I mean, that's kind of what this is. Okay. Yeah, that's fine

I just you know, I thought maybe you just busy myself with more projects, but no, that's fine. Well, real quick, here's another, here's an email I got this week. You can email me at Magic Tavern at puppies.supplies, it's a really email address. I got one says, hey, Arnold, it's Arnie. I just wanted to shout out to the mysterious man, Craig, Trisha, 8049, and Kern, congratulations for finding one another. Trisha, 8050, and Lucy rest in peace. Their work saving all of reality is greatly appreciated by those of us who really enjoy existing.

And there's nothing better than the mysterious man's brilliant insights on Yusudor, all right, P, and Chant. La Dachshe, I don't know what that means, Benjamin Sin. Benjamin Sin, what an ominous name. Then none of that made any sense to me. Yeah, what is going on? That doesn't mean I don't know what any of that meant. Was that meant for this American life?

Maybe they meant to send, hey, Benjamin, if you want to send this message to this American life, please email this email to Iverglass or tweet at him. I don't know what Iverglass's email address is, but please, in fact, all of you. This is a man-made of glass? He, in fact, all of you. This is a man made of glass? He, I mean, sort of? Yeah, kind of.

He's very fragile. But yeah, I encourage everyone to email Ira Glass this message, and maybe that's meant for them. And let them know, let this glass man also know that they should do an episode that is about chont. Not just some comedian with a dog. I would love to hear an episode about chont. There's not enough chant on the internet. I would mostly just like to hear Ira Glass say, Chant.

Yeah? Let's make that happen. I wonder if they would let him say it on this American life. I'm the only person here that could even speculate. The The The The The The The The The The The The Holy Newtard felines, the millennial, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Holy, neutered felines, the millennial bunter prism is out of alignment.

Okay, so that means...what? Craig, the space station is visible. Oh, great. Yeah, okay. Help me unfold the reset tarp. Now, we drape this over the entire control panel and wait an hour. Craig, that control panel was filthy with mustard, and you had a bowl of mustard for lunch.

That was spicy Dijon, and those stains are clearly classic yellow. We'll sort this out later. Chant the King of the Badgers was played by Adolf Refy. Pizza Skull, the pizza champion, was played by Matt Young, and the toppings on this pizza included interrupting and intellectual property theft from the cool-aid man.

Carbelon Valentin, the talking tree, was played by special guest John Sabine, with all the meandering urgency of a panicked ravegoer searching for his last lollipop. John performs with the improvised Shakespeare company and the late 90s at the I.O. theater in Chicago. And as someone who perhaps has performed with him, the fact that he couldn't recall the word support, surprised no one. Tannock in the Terrible was played by Sarah Logsden.

Craig, I did the whole outro credits by myself last week. Are you finally ready to chip in and make this show a family again? Oh, yes, sorry about that. I got kind of a busy with something. In fact, I think right now might be a good time for a test run of the new podcast I've been working on, Craigcast. Hey there, welcome to Craigcast, coming at you live from Nundisclosed locations, somewhere in

the multiverse. My guess this week is Trisha 8,050. How you doing Trisha? Why do you sometimes call me that? Call you what? Why do you sometimes call me Trisha 8,050? Oh, no reason. It's kind of creepy. Well, that's all the time we have for the first episode of Craigcast. Thanks for joining me, Trisha.

I mean, I'm not gonna go, but I'm gonna listen to it. That's sort of how it works. Craig, did we get a final time on how long it took the rest of the cast to pick up on Adolf's Tom Robbins reference? We did, but the readouts are under the reset tarp now. Huh, off the top of my head, I'd say it felt like a lifetime. Hey guys, I'm back. Business go. Want some dessert, pizza? Oh, that sounds interesting. It does.

It's just for a limited time. Hey, where's your hut at? Oh, my pizza hut? Yeah, don't you live in a hut? Yeah, I live in a hut. You go on the King's Road for about a mile. You take a left onto a El Dorado. And then you're on Maine.

And it's just got a red roof. You can't miss it. Oh, baby, you cannot miss it. You're on Maine and it's just got a red roof. You can't miss it. Oh baby, you can't not miss it.
