Oh God Give me another gummy Another gummy, please Oh man Guys, you know what this has the vibe of? And, like, correct me if I'm wrong, this sort of feels like we thought this would be a month and it's actually a month and a week.

Do you know what I mean? For sure. Month in a week. Yeah, month and a week. Turned into five weeks. Like, when we've committed to this, we thought it was four and it's actually five. Well, here's the thing, Aaron,

because, like, we don't know how we got here. But it might be one of those things where, like, a minute has passed in our world. But, like, you know, like. Narned rules. Tars, you know. What are you trying to say? Tars.

Oh, Kate Blanchett. Yeah, exactly. Tars. Aaron Tars? I don't know what you're trying to say. You haven't seen Tars? Hmm. She's a conductor.

Oh, I saw the Cape Planchett movie. No, there was another... What are you talking about, J.B.C.? No, not Lydia Tars. I was thinking of... The Chronicles of Narnia. What's the movie that's like Inception, but in space? Star Wars

Inception but in space It's Christopher Nolan And it's like It's like Inception But it's like in space Oh Interstellar Timothy Salomey on a truck I actually only know that movie

As Tars Which is my favorite character From that movie Oh it's a little robot That's way too long Of a walk for us to do that You're trying to say Narnia They go into Narnia

They're kings for like 80 years And then they come out It's only been five minutes Yeah Tars wasn't as Christian but whatever you want to do. Look, why do we do this? Let's find King Mumbles.

Let's, you know, beg of him our favors or whatever we need to do. And let's get the fuck back home. Okay. Was the robot named Tars because it's an anagram of Star? I think it's like one of those things where it's like an initialism and it's like Tars, like turbo automated robot system or something like that, you know? That movie stressed me out. And the name might not be Tars.

Yeah. Have we considered that? Well, you came in really hot, and I just follow whoever's the most confident in the room. That's why I'm susceptible to cults. That's how the robot ended up being named Tars. Exactly. Is it a safe space to say that interstellar kind of stressed me out? Is this, am I allowed to say that?

Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. Erin, you said Mrs. Doubtfire stressed you out. Well, yeah. And Brave Little Toaster stressed you out? Okay, that is a horror movie. It might be a movie issue with you, Aaron.

Let's find King Mumbles. Fine. Fine. Should we, what, just open up pantries until we or... Wait, I got it. King Mumble says what? What? What?

It worked. Holy shit. Who did that? Hello? Marco. King Mumbles. Oh, I worked again. Aaron, Marco Polo isn't invented yet.

Okay, right, okay. I think King Mumble's first name might be Marco. Maybe not. Maybe not. Fair thee well Oh, already saying goodbye to us Fair thee well All right

They well King mumbles at your service Interesting King at my service Greetings Who's Marco? Marco is a guy Who's always sort of lost in a pool

He sort of can't make his way around a pool Ah Is that like the men? we drowned in the moat last week? Oh, is that him? Is that Marco? Maybe, yeah. You're saying no.

Oh, we just, we, he was trying to reach my bread pantry because he was hungry and was babbling on about not feeding the peasants of the land and I said, drown him in the moat. Oh, that's like a laymiss situation. Yeah, he tried to steal a little of bread.

Who's laymise? Huh. Um, well, you know, in fact, he mumbles, um, Le Mizz is short for Les Miserables, uh, which means the Miserables. And we are actually kind of a group of miserables, um, who is coming to you, hat in hand, hand on bended knee, on bended hand, uh, to beg of you a favor of your, of your majesty. How am I doing this? I'm trying to like, you're doing great. You're doing. All the buzzwords. Yeah.

A favor of your majesty of me. I can be of service to you. This is a fun little role play. Let's see where it goes. And if it needs to be like a quid pro quo situation, we're like totally done for that. We can do favor for favor. We can do a three for one.

Okay. So you want a three for one? What bedroom? Mine or one of the guest rooms? Oh, we actually already tried that and almost ruined our friendship. So better steer clear. It does get sticky. King Mubbles is fun.

Well, thank you. I try to be, you know. People always say, the king's out of touch, the king's keeping all our bread. And I'm like, I'm just kind of a fun guy. Yeah, you're a party king. Thank you. You're affable.

I would have a beer with you. You're fun. Beer. Oh, beer. Yeah, Aaron. I'm noticing that King Mumbles has kind of like a goblet with like a, it looks like a half loaf of bread kind of sticking out. It seems like bread is more

It's like big into bread. Yeah. I love bread. I heard you mentioned bread as I zoned out. Bread is so good. They're all kinds. Did you know this? Beer is kind of,

beer where we're from is kind of like liquid bread. Right? Ah, mead. Yes. Ah, mead. Okay. Would you like mead? They have meat.

I'll take a mead. Okay. Anybody else want a mead? Would you like a mead? Oh, yeah, I'll take a mead? Two meads, three meads, you can't? Do you have, do you have an A mead? Is that a crazy thing to ask here?

Is that crazy to ask if they've in a me? N a mead. N a mead. You know what? I'll ask, and if they can't provide it, I'll behead them. Servants! Oh, no. Hey, you know what?

Hey, you know what? Servant. Yes, my king? Ah, yes. I need three meats. Three meats, yes. Four meats. Four meats.

I almost forgot myself. four meats three of them goodness three of them normal three of them good now the third one

I need you to provide something called an N-A mead can you do that if you cannot I will kill you you're about to have a literal blood on your hands

no we're good we're good we're good am I going to have to kill you just not just not just not just not just not okay and remember

I did kill a guy last week in the moat so run along get us our meat Marco, yes, Marco. Oh, so his name was Marco. I believe so. I believe, which is, you know, when you said Marco, I said, oh, no, another ghost.

Right. Oh, is the castle filled with ghosts? That's funny. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. They're actually, I think they're my best friends. Oh. Oh, oh.

That's so cute. That's cute. Yeah. Hi, Aaron. Hi, JPC. See, it's me, saving squirrel. Aaron, I'll stomp on it. You just give me the yes that go ahead, the thumbs up, and this thing is gone.

No, no, no, JPC, I think there's something he's trying to say. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Just hovering over it. Wait, I have value. I have value. Do you want to turn your kids in the savers? Acorn Jury, which I represent, makes it easy to teach kids healthy money habits that will stick with them for life. You know, Squirrel, I was just thinking about how, like, why don't they teach us more about money in school?

Like, I feel like there should be a whole class for it. Because you go to college and you don't, you're dealing with money really for the first time. Right? And you don't know how to do it. Yeah. Aaron, don't say go to high school and go to college around the squirrel. It's obvious that this is a guy didn't go to high school in college because he's a squirrel. Yeah, he did.

Look, he's wearing a little graduation cap. Yeah. Oh. I went to MIT. I am so sorry, Squirrel. But not as sorry as I am about not learning about money when I was younger. Squirrel, let me ask you, do you have a piggy bank? And I should say MIT stands for Munch into Trees.

That's what I thought. I do have a piggy bank. Well, piggy banks are cute and they're great for loose quarters, but these days there's so much more that kids and squirrels need to know about money. Acorns Early makes it easy to teach kids lifelong money skills they can actually use in the real world or whatever world you live in, Squirrel. Hmm. Thank you.

I thought it was the normal world, but I could be wrong. Well, let me ask you this. If it's the normal world and your world, does Acorns Early have a smart debit card and a money app that grows kids' money skills as they grow up? You betcha. Okay, and can you start with in-app chores tracker and teach your kids the value of a dollar? Absolutely. Okay. And then you let your kids set their own saving goals and start building healthy money habits early?

You better believe it. Okay, so it sounds like we're in the same world. I like when I said MIT stands for munch into trees. We all just kind of glazed over that. No, I know. It's in Massachusetts. It's a really great school. Kids can spend what they've earned with their very own customizable debit card,

giving them that extra sense of independence. Plus, with ACORN early spending limits and real-time spend notifications, parents always stay in control. I've looked through ACORNs early. I am thrilled for when my kid gets old enough that I can use ACORNs early and kind of help them manage money. But I've gone through the system. I've gone through the information that exists there, although I haven't used it, it's all stuff that I would really recommend.

And I think that teaching young kids, financial literacy stuff, is super, super important. really just gives them such a leg up for the world that they will have to live in. You better believe it.

Oh, I think that's cute that a lot of the people that you have put to death kind of are now your friends. Is that kind of what we think is cute about it? Well, I was thinking more like, I guess I'm thinking of like Christina Ricci and Casper. She's not a ghost. Oh, you're right. I see what you're saying. But some people say that Casper is Ritchie Rich.

if that makes sense. I don't remember that discourse. I do know I had a huge crush on Casper. On Casper? I guess the kid that played Casper when he was a human. Oh, okay. King Mumbles are the ghosts that are your friends? Are they friendly?

Friendly? Some of them are friendly. Some of them are really, they like to shoot, what is it, from the hip. They really tell me how it is. And then there's a faction that are my family members. And I don't even want to get into it. I don't even want to get into it. But, you know, they're, they're a lot.

I like them. They're funny. They have things to say. They tell me when my outfit is bad, you know. These sound, Big Mibbles, these are more like hecklers. Hecklers. Well, yeah, just like ghosts that comment about your outfit. Like that sounds.

Because these are all, are these all, the spirits of those that you have put to death? Right, not all of them. Not all of them. But they are there. There are other ghosts, you know, ghosts who are servants from the past, and they have no real, what am I going to do to them if they say, excuse me, King, that makes your butt look fat. I'm not going to, what am I going to do?

And, King, can I just say, your chain mail made of croutons looks so tasty. And what small feet you have, sir? And the birds around you are going nuts Thank you Those are my other friends I don't think I've ever seen this many like Indoor birds And they kind of have like
