And it's not a competition.
It's not a competition.
It's not.

But Tyler?
No, but that was amazing.
The vocals, the writing, it made us laugh, made us cry, made us weep.

That was
Your vocal That was I mean I like When I said at H-A-N-A-R-K-E-E. Love you. Hannah, that was your vocal.
That was, I mean.
When I said I wanted public domain,
you understood exactly what I was asking for.
You heard us.
You listened.
You really listened.
In the words of Madam Web,
of which I saw high out of my gourd this past weekend,
you did it. You did it.
You did it.
When she was studying spiders in the Amazon.
That line isn't in the movie.
Are you serious?
That line is not in the movie.
No.
Okay.
I'm just going to jump right into it.
Yeah, please.
I took an edible and went to go see Madame Webb with some friends.
It is the best night of my life.
That was the best night of my life.
Wow, really?
I laughed so hard I thought it was going to throw up.
I thought it was choking.
I have, I genuinely feel like we,
Witness History, this is the room of our generation.
This is a cult classic.
Should I see it?
This is a hundred, but you have to,
you can't watch it sober.
You have to do drugs.
You have to do drugs and see this movie.
It is, and we are not telling,
don't do drugs, don't do drugs.
Only the coolest people I know do no way um it is it is a perfect film every line is 20 minutes
long it is it is there's one line where the villain and it's like every line is a paragraph
he's like also the main, his whole performance is dubbed,
and it doesn't even match every single frame he's dubbed.
I don't understand why.
Are you serious?
Alf, it is a perfect film.
You're in for the ride of your life.
He's saying, he goes,
I love that.
You should be so lucky that you didn't know that tonight is the night
that you're going to die.
It is like, it is so.
Sweaty.
It is un, it's a perfect movie how would you know
that you how would you know if you did how that wait what is the fuck she's like how would you
know that you didn't know how to climb a wall if you never even tried it is just
daniel i keep quoting las arañas to each other like she is it's a perfect film
it's
she
a stray cat
jumps on her table
and drinks out of her cereal bowl
she goes
a stray's gotta stick together
right?
oh my word
and then when she's learning
about the spider people
she's telling the cat
Las Arañas
have you ever heard of
Las Arañas?
me neither
it's un I have to go see it perfect
i have never laughed our theater we got like multiple rounds of applause during it um we
also saw the new nicole kidman apparently there's three new amc intros and they're all nicole
and they're all nicole but apparently it's Pokemon. There's three different kinds and you don't know
which one's going to play at which movie. So that's why
you're trying to get people to go.
You have to catch them all. You gotta
catch them all. So anyway, that's what's new
with me. I can't stop thinking about it.
There are so many Oscars
films I have yet to see.
And I saw Madame Web.
Tonight we're going to watch The Holdovers.
But there are so many things that I still get to see. But instead I went and saw Madame Web. Tonight we're going to watch the holdovers, but there are so many things that I still
get to see, but instead I went and saw
Madame Web, and I'm glad I did.
I would not change that for anything in the world.
It is a masterpiece.
I'm supposed to be going to see
Dune 2
tonight. Dune 2?
I'm so jealous. My Arrakis!
Shy.
Hello.
The Kwisatz Hader I don't remember
I rewatched the first one last night
though because I was like that's what
we want to rewatch the first one
if I don't rewatch this one I'll have
zero and I saw it in theaters
what a good fucking movie
and I was like I mean I was saying it
at brunch this morning
yes he has friends he gets invited to
brunch like i'm just like you he texted me yesterday he goes we were supposed to do 10 30
today he goes can we do 11 and then next text i want to go to brunch hey i wasn't lying was i
no i spoke my heart but i'm supposed to be seeing Dune But I wonder if I should change to Madam Web
No go see Dune 2
I really want to see that
I've heard it's incredible
But I didn't remember
I forgot it was a trilogy
Oh shit
I thought I was going to get Closure
And then I was like wait is it a trilogy
And I looked it up and it is a trilogy
And so I'm going to have to wait another three years for that final piece of the.
I'm excited to hear how Elvis is in this film.
Who?
Elvis Presley.
Is in this film?
Yeah.
Who playing?
Well, taking the shape of Austin Butler, but yeah.
I actually didn't know Austin Butler was in it.
Yes.
Huh.
Who does he play?
This is my sand, my ruckus
That was my Elvis impression
That was a good impression
but not of Elvis
I don't know who
I don't know what it was, it was a good voice
It was a good voice
Mama, look at all this sand
What is that, the Gom Jabari's having a seabee, huh? Let the spires flow, pretty mama. Mama, look at all this sand. What is that?
The Gom Jabari's
just having to see me.
Huh?
Let the spas flow,
pretty mama.
You're back drinking coffee.
Yes.
You're drinking coffee again.
Yeah.
And have something to say,
fucker?
No, I was just
pointing it out.
It's an iced Americano.
Now, I know a lot of people will say you're a coffee snob you're a coffee snob and yet you're drinking an iced americano yeah i contain
multitudes isn't that just i've never had an ice americano isn't that just espresso and water and
ice water yeah that sounds fucking disgusting i find them sign like here's the problem a lot of
coffee shops in this fucking
day and age are obsessed with cold brew cold brew cold brew cold brew cold brew cold brew oh my god
what if we brewed it cold and and and you know what i like iced coffee i also like cold brew
given the right sir but but cold brew is quite heavy yes quite kind of it has this almost like kind of um this deep woody you know this this
real like almost fermented flavor sometimes and yes and and and it's not necessarily the most
refreshing beverage and so the thing i like about an ice americano is that it's it's so much lighter
it doesn't feel like i'm having like a milkshake which is what cold brew sometimes you know i'm
not saying which is specifically what my favorite cold brew is the norland style cold brew no what's that chicory i don't fuck
with that i don't like it it's so good i don't like it is a caffeinated milkshake we haven't
set an intention in a minute can i say something you need to get it right out of the gate can i
say something i don't think we have to.
I mean, we can today.
We don't have to.
I would like to set one today because it feels right.
I would also like to.
But I want to say, everyone who's saying you're forgetting to set an intention,
you're doing your own podcast wrong, you establish this bit,
and you forget about it at least 80% of the time.
No, we're not.
We're choosing not to do it on those days.
Because there's nothing that says that it has to be- It's free will.
Ever heard of it?
Have you ever heard of it?
There's nothing that says that it has to be mandatory
just because you do it.
There's free will.
Did you know that?
We didn't.
Have you ever heard?
Did you know that?
Have you ever heard of that?
Free will.
I saw it right yesterday.
Did you know that?
Did you know that?
But it's true.
It's like, have you ever considered that we could not do
the What Shook Me Today if we didn't want to?
We will.
I don't want you to get scared.
We will do it.
We could do an episode of the Joe Rogan podcast experience.
What the fuck is it called?
The Joe Rogan experience?
The Joe Rogan podcast experience.
That's right.
The ride.
And I could do this podcast as the Joker.
We could do the Joker.
Austin Butler and the Joker.
Part deux.
Follet, whatever the fuck the sequel is called. Le C could do the Joker. Austin Butler and the Joker. Part deux. Follet,
whatever the fuck
the sequel is called.
Le Cachafol.
We could do Le Cachafol.
We could do the Birdcage.
We could also do
the musical adaptation.
We don't even have to read reviews.
This is our show.
We could do anything we want.
And so if we decide
not to do a fucking intention,
most of the time,
That's the intention.
The intention is to not do the intention.
The intention is to not do the intention. Now today's intention is a different intention. Yes. And today the intention is to not do the intention the intention is to not do the intention
now today's intention is a different intention
and today's intention is not not doing it
today's intention I think is
to be militant
militant
yes I think this is going to be
an incredibly
I think it's going to be regimented
I think it's going to be concise
precise
now that alph
is drinking coffee again we're on the same wavelength i have i'm wearing a robe i'm
yes can i call can i call that in to the space yes why are you doing that because it's so easy
like a sunday morning you added a word into that like i I'm easy.
I'm wearing a robe.
I'm wearing a robe.
I'm still in my PJs if you can believe that.
Because it's Sunday morning.
Take it seriously.
I do take it seriously.
Really?
You're telling me
I'm doing our show wrong.
I can wear whatever
the fuck I want.
No, I didn't say that.
I just said like,
you know,
you kind of look like shit.
And?
I just worry. You know what would help
brighten me up a little bit? What would brighten you up?
Maybe if you're feeling a little dull.
Speaking of looking like shit,
if you want something that'll
If you want something to help brighten you up,
change things a bit.
Make people stop and stare and go, oh, that's different.
Oh, that's unnatural.
Well, we've got a topic for you.
Sure do.
Because we're talking about green food dye.
Ever fucking heard of her?
It's that time of year.
St. Paddy's Day is around the corner.
Oh, top of the morning to you.
Top of the morning to you. Top of the morning to you. Nothing screams Irish culture in America more than making foods unnaturally green.
Because if anything, people know anything about Ireland, they know that all the food there is green.
All of it.
Nothing there is not green.
Is that true?
Of course. Literally every food there is
green, and that's why Americans
do it. On St. Patrick's Day, they dye
food green. You know, I live in Chicago.
The rivers there run
with dye. I was waiting for you to
congratulate me. That's fine.
I'm living in the greatest
city in the world.
It's the greatest city in the world. it's the greatest city in the world and the greatest city in the world good morning baltimore and then
um they died the whole fucking river green can you believe that so that can't be good for the water
they insist that it is there's no way every year i go this can't be good for the water and i google it and the google's like no it is it's fine no way. Every year I go, this can't be good for the water.
And I Google it.
And the Google's like, no, it is.
It's fine.
No, it's actually great for it.
Alf, talk to me.
Other than the river.
Yes.
Talk to me about green food dye.
And this is green specifically.
We're not just talking about food dye in general.
No, no.
No.
And if you hear me talking about other food dye on this episode.
Hit him.
Hit me.
Hit him.
Baby. Hit me.
Two more. Hit him. Because this. Hit him. Baby. Two more.
Hit him.
Because this is the most militant episode ever.
And if you even stray a little bit from green to any other color.
I'm going to get hit.
Yep.
So I don't have a lot of experience with green.
I do have experience with red.
Alfred.
I'm kidding.
I'm fucking around.
I'm just fucking with you for fuck's sake
I definitely
I have somewhat of a baking
baking
baking
what's the word
streak
I have a baking streak in me
and sometimes I like to bake
and sometimes when you're baking you want it to be
a green color and so
you use the dye
you know what I mean
I've made pancakes green
you remember making green eggs and ham
I remember being a child
school a big exciting
day where they're like we're doing green eggs and ham today
and yeah they served us up
some green eggs and ham did you like yeah, they served us up some green eggs and ham.
Did you like it?
No.
But the novelty was fun.
The novelty of it.
My mom on St. Patrick's Day when I was a kid, she would make me green pancakes as well.
Really?
Yeah.
That's really cute.
Because it's like green.
I feel like pancake, any kind of baking thing, that's the easiest way to put the dye in there.
Green eggs and ham, like putting dye in something like that is really disgusting.
Someone gives you a cake that's a tie-dye rainbow, whatever.
You don't really think about it.
No.
Someone gives you mashed potatoes that's bright, bright pink.
You go, hang on a minute.
Well, no, that's not right. Well, that's bright. Foul. Bright pink. You go, hang on a minute. Well, now that's not right.
Well, that's not right.
Only sweet foods can have different colors to them
because they're fun and different.
You try giving me a savory food
that's not the color that it was intended to be.
Get that away from me.
Powerful.
Thank you so much. The St.rick's here are going to be dying
any foods green yes i will probably be dying um banana pudding that might be good let's get into

Save your taste buds.
I absolutely hate this stuff.
Tastes so bad, my dog wouldn't go near it.
I can't believe I was about to order a big bottle. The color is beautiful, hands down.
But Lord, why make it taste so bad?
The taste, the taste, the taste.
And you can't return it.
Slap in the face.

The person was just eating food coloring.
The taste.
The taste, the taste, the taste.
Slap in the face.
Welcome back to America's Best Home Chef.
I am your host, Randy J. Newman.
No, not that one.
Today, we are joined by legendary chef to the stars.
His taste buds are made of gold.
He is Zeus on high.
Give it up for your main judge, Tonkin B. Freebowl.
That's me.
How are you home chefs doing today?
You look great, Tonkin.
It's such an honor to meet you.
Yeah.
This is kind of the best day of my life, is that crazy to say?
Not at all! Well, bakers, for your first challenge, you're gonna be making a St. Patrick's Day
cookie cake. Oh, how exciting is that, home chefs? But there's a twist! Oh, there always is with
Tonkin B. Freebowl. You're only allowed to use ingredients you wouldn't find
in a kitchen. Um, Tonkin, that sounds a little crazy, but that's who you are, Tonkin. Like,
you are a crazy ass. Okay, bakers, you've got 33 minutes. Time starts now.
Okay, you're doing my job for me, Tonkin. All right. Told the network we didn't need you.
I got enough charisma to land the plane, carry the ship.
Tonkin, you are here as a guest chef.
I will say you haven't been here for five episodes, but that's no matter.
Season two is going to be the Tonkin Show.
Does network know that?
Because that has not been run past me, and I joined as an executive producer this season. Maybe when
you're out of the loop, it's for a reason.
We're going to check in with our first
home chef, Stacy
Blanders. When Stacy's
not here in the competition,
she likes to be
an amateur geologist.
This is my
job. Tonkin, you're just here to taste
the food. And give feedback. Yes, and my job. Tonkin, you're just here to taste the food.
And give feedback.
Yes, and my job is to share their backstory.
All right, I'm sorry I stepped on your f***ing foot.
Stacey is an amateur geologist, but when she's not looking at rocks, she's a rock star in the kitchen.
Stacey, what's your favorite rock?
It's got to be an onyx.
That's a f***ing good, sorry, that's a good rock that yeah we gotta believe
it so stacy walk us through what you're making today your saint patrick's cookie cake using
ingredients you would not find in a kitchen i'm so glad you asked um thank you so much for having
me this is such an honor i love baking for my littles at home i have a two and a three year old
hi kids adorable They really are.
So today, I am...
Names.
I don't want to share that information on public television.
And this is on public TV.
This is public assets.
That's fair.
Everybody, that's fair.
So, I am making a chocolate chip cookie cake.
But instead of chocolate chips, I'm using wood chips to kind of resemble that nutty flavor that chocolate can sometimes get.
And I'm dyeing it green.
Now, one could argue that green food dye is found in the kitchen.
And it is.
But one of my nieces, she rides horses,
and so she often will dye the horse tails with this food dye.
So this is an ingredient that I mostly find out of the kitchen.
I love that.
Well, this sounds amazing.
Thank you so much.
I can't wait for Tonka to tell us how it tastes.
Now, bringing it over to contestant number two,
we've got Richard B. Flanders.
Richard, how you doing?
Not going to lie, I'm pretty nervous.
Don't be.
I've never, I've never, well, Tonka, I've never, sir, sir, your highness, your highness.
Stop. I don't need all that formality.
I'm just a man of the world like you, my friend.
But you're so much better than I'll ever be.
At cooking, yes.
At everything.
But not necessarily at being a father of two, right? Because when you're not home,
you're here making, and when you
are home, you're a father of two, right?
Duncan, I'm not gonna lie. I've never
made anything
not using things from the kitchen, so
if I'm gonna be honest, I haven't even
started cooking yet. Why would we
have given you the challenge if you'd done it before?
Well, it's like I watch things like Top Sh**, and they're like,
oh, make a-
Don't f***ing say that in front of me.
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, Tonkin, take it easy.
No, I'm serious.
I'm going to lose my sh** if any-
Hey, note to everybody, no more Top Sh** in there.
Okay, um-
This isn't Top Sh**.
A lot-
Yeah, no, it's not.
It's America's Best Amateur Home Chef.
Bye.
Bye.
Tonkin. Tonkin be? By? Tonkin?
Tonkin B. Freeble.
Tonkin B. Freeble, that's right.
I actually, Tonkin, I didn't know that they added your name to the series.
Yeah.
That's a good option as well.
Yeah, turns out the network doesn't give a shit what you think, huh?
And by the network, I do mean PBS.
Uh, Tonkin, um, I don't know if you can offer, you know phone a friend or something absolutely I see I see uh my other competitor here making a cookie out of wood chips and dye and I'm a little
nervous yeah I'm a little nervous I haven't started cooking yet and we've got you've got
22 minutes on the clock oh my god I've got 22 minutes to make a cookie there's nothing that
there's no way it's gonna happen uh phone a friend. Okay. Well, that's actually
we don't do that. No, I'll allow it. I allow it.
Well, that's not fair. Can I also phone a friend? Sure. Wait, no, no.
You guys only have 21 minutes and 30 seconds now. No, there's no phoning a friend.
Yeah, and if they want to burn time calling, I don't give a shit. It's a mistake.
Phone a friend. What should I do?
Sorry.
Am I your friend?
Yeah.
I don't know you, chief.
Well, I thought that that was implied.
Do you have my phone number?
I don't have your phone number.
Well, then how are you going to phone me?
I thought it was implied that you would be the phone a friend.
Sorry.
It's called phone a friend. I'd ask a it's called phone of friend, not ask a god.
Okay, fine, let me call my brother, James.
Okay, ring, ring.
Ring, ring.
Sorry, he's probably at work.
Try him again.
Okay.
See if he picks up.
Maybe he'll think something's wrong.
Who calls two back-to-back like that?
Unless something's wrong.
You call your brother a lot?
We talk maybe like once a month.
Oh, he'll definitely pick up if you ring twice.
Let me ring a third time.
Three times he's gonna pick up.
Two, three.
Do you have his wife's number i i uh i have his
husband's number crazy for you to assume i have tonkin's gonna own that i'm gonna own that
okay some of my closest friends some of my closest friends are husbands okay i'm i'm calling frank

I only have 16 minutes on the clock to do this.
That's okay. I know how he loves his bath frank how do i make a cookie

of a goddamn thing.
lower stakes for me.
I'm just sitting in the sunroom.
You know,
you're out there

I mean,

on yourself.
I'm so stupid.
Oh,
I'm sorry.
Frank fell asleep
in the tub again.
You mean James?
Sorry, yes.
Sometimes we're so close to the cup, like, get ourselves together.
Okay, I gotta hang up and make Play-Doh.
Thank you, Frank.
I love you.
Bye.
I love you, too.
Okay, I'm gonna...
Does anyone have Play-Doh on hand?
Your brother-in-law is a lot smarter than you.
I know.
Okay, and I will say the time is flying when you're having fun.
We have three minutes left on the clock.
Home Chef's three minutes left on the clock.
Let's check in with our first competitor.
We haven't even talked to Stephanie.
We did at first.
Yeah, you did at first, and I think that my wood chip cookie cake is going to be the talk of the town.
Time's up.
It's time for Tonkin to taste your treats.
Let's bring it over to Tonkin time.
We've got Tonkin Cam on Tonkin.
Tonkin, let's try
Stacy, this is your
do you have a name for your creation?
This is
Woodland Delight.
And I call it Woodland Delight
because the cookie is made of wood. Yes, we know.
It's made of wood.
And it's dyed green. That is clever. Thank you. I'm excited to hear wood. Yes, we know. It's made of wood. And it's dyed green.
That is clever.
Thank you.
I'm excited to hear what you think, Tonkin.
All right.
Take a quarter piece.
Is that all right?
Quarter piece.
Of course.
And you can use fork and knife, or you can just go straight with the hands.
Oh, and you went straight with the hands.
Chewy.
Good.
Meaning a lot of resistance
So not chewy then
Earthy
Crunchy
So is it chewy or not because you said you're getting a lot of resistance
Uh cake
Yep
Okay
Um
Can I be honest with you
I wish you would
That is one of And I've tasted a lot of shit cooking in my life.
Oh, God.
That is one of the best cookie cakes made out of something you wouldn't find in a kitchen.
You're lying.
You're lying.
You're going to get a Tonkin Tunk for that.
What?
Hollywood has his handshake thing.
I'm trying to do the Tonkin Tug.
So I'm going to hold out my finger, and you're going to pull it.
No.
No, Tonkin, we don't need anyone to get a Tug.
Nobody gives up.
You're literally only here because you can't be fired easily.
Tonkin, no one needs a Tonkin tug.
No, it's deeply inappropriate.
Why is it inappropriate?
It's my finger.
You can't ask contestants to tug you.
Hollywood does it.
No, Hollywood gives a handshake.
He's not asking for a handy.
It's not a Hollywood handy. That's disgusting. He's a handshake. He's not asking for a handy. It's not a Hollywood handy.
That's disgusting.
You can't be asking for a talking tug.
He's a national treasure.

You know on Top Chef they only actually take a little bit of a bite each time
I was crystal clear
About no more chefs
Other than Tonkin You actually just said no Top Chef You didn't say more chefs other than Tonkin.
You actually just said no top chef.
You didn't say no chefs other than Tonkin.
Either way, you broke the rule.
That's what you fucking sound like.
Either way, you broke the rule.
Oh, I'm Tonkin. Oh,
I'm gonna come into PBS. I'm gonna
take over the whole fucking shebang.
I'll give you a Tonkin tug.
This is like who you are. Why were you doing over the whole fucking shebang. I'll give you a Tonkin Tug. Dude, this is like who you are.
Why were you doing that the whole time?
Because I sound like a Neanderthal.
Because you're a Neanderthal.
Why are you pronouncing it like that?
Like what?
Neanderthal.
Is that not how it's pronounced?
No, it's Neanderthal.
Well, I didn't know that. Yeah, well, who's the's Neanderthal. Well, I didn't know that.

This has been PBS Presents America's Best Amateur Home Chef.
What's it called when you have internal bleeding on the outside?
External bleeding.
I have that.
Honkin' be free.
Where did that name come from?
What on earth?
Where did that, where did you pull that from?
It doesn't matter.
Let's do another review. this is for mccormick culinary green food coloring 16 fluid ounce
116 fluid ounce bottle green liquid food coloring add vivid colored cakes
cookies icing and more it is specifically designed for sweet treats oh it's specifically designed for sweet treats. Oh, it's specifically designed for sweet treats?
Sweet treats.
Not savory, huh?
Not savory, no.
This is five stars from Andree.
No last name.
Okay.
And reading for the role of Willy Wonka
is Timothee Chalamet.
And reading for the role of Willy Wonkaka is timothy chalamet five stars the
title is instant green lawn central texas countless hundred degree plus days and water rations i use
this on my lawn no wow giggling over my green grass i'm not worried about rain parentheses
that's the word for when water falls from the sky,
right? It's been so long.
End parentheses.
Washing it away. Yes, the turf is still
crunchy, but no one knows.
Oh, for the very yellow grass from
errant canines, use the blue dye.
Throw that
one more time at me, that last sentence.
Oh, for the very yellow
grass from errant canines, use the blue dye.
So for the patches of grass that the dogs pissed on, use blue dye.
Yes, to make it green.
Because the blue plus the yellow is going to make the grass.
How are you applying it?
Well, and reading for the role of Willy Wonka's Timothy Chalamet didn't specify that.
How do you imagine?
I would imagine that they...
Paintbrush?
That's really interesting.
I would imagine that I wonder if they're putting it in a spray bottle.
That is interesting.
Or they may just be dumping it over the grass.
That's my fear, is the dumping.
Yeah.
I think a sleeper pick of my favorite part of the review is the
parentheses, that's what it's called when water
falls from the sky, right? It's been so
long. That's so
fucking annoying.
They are dying the grass. And
can I be honest? That wasn't the first review I saw
for someone dying the grass with it. Seriously?
Yes. and then a
lot of people being like just use paint no yes yes to is this i'd be so curious uh podcats
are any of you out there using green food coloring on your lawns and if you are painting
what can i do to make you stop if If you are, please don't do it.
Just use plants that are native to the part of the world that you live in.
If you live in a part of the world that is a literal desert, maybe don't have a luscious green grass.
Maybe get some cacti or turf if you're so wedded to the idea.
But I love that they're like,
everybody's none the wiser.
The grass is just like an obscene shade
of like cartoon green.
And it's like, and no one
will ever know.
Two ants
sitting on the ground.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Hey, Dale.
Oh, Jim, another day, another dollar.
You know, we do what we do for the queen because we love her, you know?
God, and do we ever love her?
Can we talk about how she is like,
God, how old is she now?
What? 30? now? What?
30?
30?
30?
30?
She doesn't look a day over 20.
She's gorgeous.
She's gorgeous.
I'd die for her.
I'd die for her too.
She could lead me anywhere, tell me to do anything.
I'd die for her.
Yeah.
And that's why we do what we do.
You know, I don't want to, to you know put the cart before the horse but i did hear that there's some uh
some kid dropped a pbj over uh by the um uh you're lying by the water feature i'm gonna check it out
later i'm gonna check it out i heard i heard you hear that did you hear that from from bill yeah
yeah build a beetle build a beetle's always making up shit though like i feel like he I heard some rumors. Did you hear that from Bill? Yeah, Bill the Beetle.
Bill the Beetle's always making up shit, though.
I feel like he often will say that, and then we go, and he meets us there, and he goes,
gotcha!
I don't disagree. Remember when he said the bag of Lays was dropped a couple weeks ago?
But he wasn't wrong.
You remember the ice pop?
He wasn't wrong about that.
There was an ice pop.
There was an ice pop, but I think that's why people are so quick to believe him, is because
he was right that one time. And he's really using that as leverage it's been a slow day
like i'm not you know it'll take us what about a two three hours to walk over there i'm not
concerned you know i mean if we show up and there's nothing there there's nothing there we
walk back you know not it's not that there's nothing there it's it's whatever it's more that
it's just like, it's embarrassing.
Right, that you go, I don't want to be at
Bill's beck and call, you know?
No, but, you know, he, you know.
What? Well, I just mean he's, you know,
he's a Beatle.
What do you mean?
Oh, come on, Bill.

there's there you know i heard actually there's a soft serve on the sidewalk over there. So maybe you should check that out.
You heard there's a soft serve on the sidewalk.
Caterpillar.
Oh, yeah.
Who'd you hear that from?
Caterpillar told me.
Oh, you think Casey Caterpillar is going to be sharing that information with you?
Why not?
We're close.
That's not what she told me last night, if you know what I mean.
You guys can't do that.
You're different.
Do you think they really do that?
You are the most gullible guy I've ever met.
I'm just saying, I've only got eyes for the queen, man.
I don't know what the other species do.
I don't know.
You are so insecure.
I'm not insecure.
You know, I didn't hear anything about a soft serve from Casey,
but I did hear about the PB&J.
One, I saw it with my own eyes, but the person who told me about it was none other than your queen.
There's no way you talked to the queen.
There's no way that you talked to the queen.
You didn't talk to the queen, ass.
You didn't.
There's no way she would never talk to you.
What'd you just call me?
I called you a big ass.
Because that's what you're being bill i know
you didn't talk to the queen nobody can talk to her she's like a meter and a half underground
there's no way you went in there called me a big ass soldiers didn't let you in there there's no
fucking way yeah oh yeah now he's a big man using big, strong words. Oh, shit.
Okay.
You're an ant, okay?
Then why don't you, me, when the sun hits the house on the horizon.
Dale, I cannot fight him.
He is literally ten times my size.
Oh, if you're an ant, okay, and I'm a big ass, then why did you come and punch me in the mouth?
Maybe I will.
When the sun hits the horizon?
I can't tell time.
Yeah, okay.
Beetle.
Great. I'll invite
the queen. I'll invite your whole colony
so they can see what a big guy you are.
Yeah, no, invite the queen.
And while you're at it, why don't you
see if you could get a...
Come on, Jim, just say anything.
Well, oh, if you're going to invite the queen, why don't you see if you can maybe get your caterpillar girlfriend to come?
Since you're always having inner species
and he's gone
relations with each other
I'm an ant okay
cut to a meter underground
um
by royal decree
I present
unto the queen
a royal invitation
there will be a battle between
Jim the Ant and Bill
the Beetle when the sun hits the
horizon this evening.
What's this, little one?
You dare
bother the queen?
No, your highness.
Your majesty, I am only here
to tell you that there is a big
jousting, battle brawl, cage fight, whatever it may be this evening.
And Bill has invited you specifically, Your Majesty.
Bill the Beetle?
The very same.
That guy is a prick.
Well, we all know this to be so, Your Majesty, but even so, Jim the Ant has challenged him to a fight.
Who?
Jim, one of your many loyal soldiers.
I've never heard that name.
Well, he loves you a great deal, Your Majesty,
and it would be an honor to him if you could watch him fight and very well die. Well, I haven't left my underground palace in a few years.
Could be good to get out.
Plus, I would love to see that Bill get his box punched in, if you know what I mean.
Get his card punched.
I don't know what I meant by the You won't tell people that will you
Of course not
Your majesty
I guess what I meant was
You know the thing I said next
The card punched
Not his box punched
That doesn't make sense first of all
And it didn't feel good either
So I would like to take that
Stenographer Yes first of all and it didn't feel good either so I would like to take that stenographer
yes
could you strike that
it's so embarrassing
strike the whole conversation
just in case burn it or whatever
so the history books will not remember the battle
between Jim and Bill
just summarize just leave out
any of the specific stuff I said
about you saying Bill should get his pots punched the Otter Pop rapper was a couple weeks ago.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not too far.
What time? In about five hours' journey.
Okay, what time?
When the sun hits the house

horizon.

Lenny
Lenny the grasshopper

And I think that's rude
But yeah so
I think we all

No weird stuff.
We're going to win three rounds or to the death, whichever happens first.
I have a feeling I know where that'll be.
Okay, so on your marks, get steady, fight.
Bill just turns around. He just leans back and falls on top of Jim with his shell.
Oh.
Oh, my.
That was quite.
Oh, shit.

You see.
Get him.
Get him, Jim.
He suddenly.
Well, we may have to call it the death of Jim.
Hang on.
Hang on. Let's give the little guy a chance.
Oh, gosh, this was one of the shortest fights I ever did.
All of a sudden you see Bill's body start to shake.
Whoa, what the fuck? What the hell's going on?
Oh, God. Oh, no.
Jim the Ant bursts out of his chest.
He's burrowed through him.
Yeah.
And you are an ass.

Alf, what's been shaking your big ass?
Beg your pardon?
I'm begging your pardon?
I'm begging your pardon.
I'm begging for it.
I'm begging for your pardon.
Elizabeth and I went to a place called Brooklyn Charm in Ventura.
They have one in Ventura, one in Brooklyn, if you can believe it.
New York?
And yeah, saw it on TikTok. It's a really cutie little place where you can make
your own charm, bracelets, necklaces, jewelry, whatever. They have like
thousands of charms. That's good for you. And I took her there for her birthday.
It was a belated birthday present. Her birthday's in December and it's March. Quite belated.
But we had a blast. We made charm necklaces and it took us like an hour
just to look through all
the charms.
Um,
but it was so much fun.
We had a blast and I,
it's going to be my new personality.
This necklace.
I love it a lot.
And we're just girls.
I think it's really good.
I think you really needed that.
a new personality.
Well,
no,
just,
you know,
that specifically,
um,
ask me why,
ask me why,
ask me why,
why?
Cause you're charmless.
Got it. Well, now I'm not. And, uh. Ask me why. Why? Because you're charmless. Got it.
Well, now I'm not.
And I love it.
Boom.
Boom.
Punched her box.
Punched her box.
What's been shaking you?
It was a quick one for me.
Yeah.
And I love when it's that.
For me, what has been shaking me is so crazy. I don't even know if I can talk about it on the podcast.
Okay.
Because it's so real, and I'm not trying to think about it.
Literally anything, babe.
I know, babe.
Oh, you know what it is?
