Starting point is 00:01:45 Let's get reviewing. Like my name. Let's get brewing. Chips on dice. Yo, we are cruising. The bar's on this. All my stars we're brewing. Review, review.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Review, review. Start the show. Get weird. Come on, come on, come on. Yeah. Let's get it out. Let's get it born well in here. Let's when we were. Wow.
Starting point is 00:02:21 I knew you were going to say that because it was a song about you. And so it's just kind of your whole thing is like you love things are about you. Yeah. The more words in the song are my name, the more of a fan I am. And that's just how it is. That was the oh, oh, my God. I have to know about the production value. What that sounded not like a karaoke track. That sounded like a live band doing a Black Eyed Peas song.
Starting point is 00:02:46 It was. Hold on. Let me just check the email. That's kind of just the quality you can come to expect. Well, the email's from william. It's from william. Is it will.i.am.ed? Yeah, at icloud.com, which is kind of strange. Famous people always have old, like weird
Starting point is 00:03:01 names like that. At me or whatever. AOL. At AOL.com. Yeah. Yes. That was from Kevin. Kevin says, sup, it's me, Banksy. Obviously not Banksy. Decided to make an amazing cover of a pretty mid tune.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Hope y'all enjoy this situationship of a song. I'm currently writing a book. So if you could yell at me to write the book slash offer to read it, I would appreciate it. Follow me around the street. Kevin, write the book. Read the fucking book already, man. Write, write, no, write the book so we can read it. I would appreciate it. Follow me around the street. Kevin, write the book. Read the fucking book already, man. Write, no, write the book so we can read it.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Read the book already, man. Read it and then write it. You're never going to finish the book, Kevin. If you're wondering, ooh, who's the devil on my shoulder? Ooh, who's the devil on my shoulder who just appeared?
Starting point is 00:03:40 If you've ever listened to a podcast or listened to anything funny or watched any episode of television that's ever been written. Correct. But specifically, if you're a HeadGum fan, and I know you are because you're listening to the show, and that means you've probably heard all fantasy, everything. Ian Carmel is here, bitch! It's so wonderful to be here, you motherfuckers. Motherfuckers.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Ian, we're so excited to have you. I'm so happy to be here. And I just want, I want to be the voice in William's ear. Just who's the word, the doubter. I think that's an important role to have where you're like, you're never going to do it. Nobody here thinks you can finish this book. So then he's going to be like, he's going to overcome it.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Yeah, he has to push against it. He has something to push against. Throw the log of my doubt into the steam engine of your laptop or typewriter, wherever you're writing it. And then let that fuel you across the finish line. He's going to do it. And it's going to be because of my doubt. And I think it's definitely someone who would make a Black Eyed Peas cover that has that good of production value is 100% writing a book on a typewriter. It sounded great.
Starting point is 00:04:45 I usually would assume someone finds a karaoke track and then they just record over it. It sounded like he was playing drums. It was like one man band, like Burt from Mary Poppins style. Just kind of like the whole thing. Alf, did he have your middle name in there? Alfred and Ha. Yeah, so I have two last names. And so he did both last names i know i'm kind of
Starting point is 00:05:06 loaded um and uh but it's amazing what you can accomplish you know when you're procrastinating something i have to say i think the fact that he's not writing the book probably contributed to the fact that it was a high production value normally he paid a studio band to come in and normally the vibe is more like i played the karaoke track on my phone off YouTube into the mic as I sang it. So that was pretty awesome stuff. Do you have two last names like progressive
Starting point is 00:05:34 parents or do you have two last names like you are part of the royal families of Europe? Like you're sort of like a sax co-bird. In a way both. No, it's more progressive families. Because I also have a middle name it's alfred douglas bartwell evans um my parents are both british though i was gonna say it's a british name you could ever so it does that it's like you were right in both ways i have two
Starting point is 00:05:57 progressive british parents i am choosing to believe that you are an exiled member of the British Royal family. Well, I also have hemophilia. I am also. Okay, fantastic. I have a Habsburg palate, hemophilia, and progressive British family. Habsburg palate. Ian, what's up? We're recording on Saturday, September 9th, a little peek behind a curtain. That's right.
Starting point is 00:06:24 What's up? I've walked to the coffee shop twice today, and that's literally all I've accomplished. That's it. And that's brave, and that's big. What did you get? I got a iced coffee the first time, and on the second one, I decided to keep my haters guessing, and I got an iced green tea. Oh.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Keep the haters guessing and I got an ice green tea. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Haters guessing. I do have a favorite between the two. I think in an afternoon, I mean, the coffee's crucial in the morning and a lot,
Starting point is 00:06:56 there's going to be a lot more of this kind of stuff in my book. And then you always say, don't talk to me until I have my coffee. You start your day. And I enforce it and i enforce it i sort of hand out a card that tells people i haven't had my coffee if they even try to talk to me and they sort of understand where it goes from there and then once i've had my coffee i can't stop talking but then i say don't engage with me on anything challenging or emotional
Starting point is 00:07:18 until i've had my green tea in the afternoon which is another my ice cream tea so it's really just like faff in the morning and then the afternoon. It's just kind of like, you know, then I really dig in. So I've had my ice cream tea. I'm ready. I'm ready to get into the issues. That's fantastic. And Alfred, how are you?
Starting point is 00:07:33 We've, you know, been talking to you all day. Yeah. What's new in the hours since I've spoken to you? I have a migraine and it's gotten worse since you last spoke to me. I think it's because speaking relative to what we were just talking about, don't think i had caffeine early enough today i had i slammed a matcha at 11 a.m and then i got a large iced coffee from duncan about half an hour later but i think it was too little too late um i'm a person with a pretty strong caffeine habit so it has to be has to be a lot and right away. Otherwise, the whole
Starting point is 00:08:06 day is fucked. I would just like to say, because no one else saw this except for me. This is before Ian joined the Zoom. I was pulling up, getting stuff ready, getting the theme song ready, everything. And Alf, he looked like, and the only way I can describe it is like a colicky baby.
Starting point is 00:08:21 He grabbed his forehead and made a face. I don't even know what you did beforehand, but he just made a faceicky baby like he grabbed his forehead and made a face i don't even know what you did beforehand but he just made a face with an always like and it was so earnest and it was and i just knew that this was gonna be your whole thing is gonna be i have a migraine i think it's allowed to be my whole fucking thing i think i'm allowed to have this one thing you know you made the fact that you had covid like the last three episodes two episodes is this one of those podcasts that believes in covid uh we try and like take like not a real stance we can do plugs now we can just kind of jump uh okay i just sort of like to plug doing your own research and for
Starting point is 00:09:03 sure for sure you know just like sort of like you plug doing your own research. For sure, for sure. You know, just like sort of like, you know, seeking out the facts and then making decisions based on that. Sure. Do you have any sources? Yeah, that you want to plug? That you think are reliable? Yeah. If you have access to the dark web, you can just kind of find my ex account on the dark web. And then I've posted like a lot of primary research, a lot of phone pictures I've taken of photocopies that have been faxed to me.
Starting point is 00:09:31 And there's a lot of like a lot of that kind of stuff. I think if you, if you want to follow my, my, my account on social media, it's it's, it's, it's based Dr.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Fauci underscore in between each of those words. And you can, and that's kind of across all platforms. That's on everything. That's on Dr. Fauci underscore in between each of those words. And that's going to be across all platforms. That's on everything. That's on threads. Great. It's on everything. You're chairing RFK's campaign, correct? I am chairing RFK's campaign.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Yeah, absolutely. And it's a really cool gaming chair. It's $16,000. And it glides like a dream if i'm gaming rfk's chairing rfk's campaign you mean i'm sitting in my gaming chair listening to campaign videos at a hundred percent that's a hundred percent right yeah but speaking of scary speaking of dark web speaking of something that's a little talk about busy town richard's scary's busy town? Is that what we're getting into? I was actually going to jump, like, our really topical subject today. It's a little scary.
Starting point is 00:10:29 It's a little autumnal. It's something we can't get enough of. What do you mean can't get enough of? I mean, we can't get enough of this stuff. Are you kidding? Do you own a Scarecrow? I have never in my life owned a scarecrow. Because I grew up and I'm from Los Angeles.
Starting point is 00:10:49 And so I've never lived on a piece of land that would denote needing a scarecrow. It's habitable for birds. Right, right, right. Well, I guess I don't have crops or things that I would need to have be protected. LA. Birds? Parrots? Do birds exist in Los Angeles? Is is that it is it parrots and buzzards when you say birds having two british parents do you mean are there women in los angeles now how are the birds come on now the birds and it's the two ends of the
Starting point is 00:11:18 spectrum the parrots are the hot ones and the buzzards are kind of the dogs i got a lot of buzzards. I got a lot of buzzards out on the town. Wouldn't catch me with one of those. But do you get like little Tweety birds that go
Starting point is 00:11:30 Do you mean like the Warner Brothers animated character Tweety bird? Do you get Tweety bird? Like Times Square Elmo style. There are birds
Starting point is 00:11:40 in Los Angeles. That's what you're asking. I've seen Tweety bird at Tower Bar a couple times. Get pretty. And you don't want to run into Tweety bird. I do asking. I've seen Tweety Bird at Tower Bar a couple times. Get pretty. And you don't want to run into Tweety Bird.
Starting point is 00:11:48 You do not want to run into Tweety Bird. It was Tweety Bird, Tobey Maguire, and Ethan Supley hanging out, having salads. And they called themselves
Starting point is 00:11:57 the putty tat posse. The putty tat. Oh my God. Ian, talk to me about Scarecrows. What, talk to me about scarecrows. What's your experience with them, if any? Well, I first of all- You've got to have an experience.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I have several very sort of like spooky experiences with scarecrows. I live in, I don't actually, but I live in Atwater Village here in Los Angeles and my neighborhood is lousy with crows. Crows and ravens. There's crows, ravens, all sorts of birds. I live by all sorts of birds.
Starting point is 00:12:30 I live by the LA River. And there's great blue herons. They're like, it's a very like active. Oh, the block is hot. Bird wise. Yeah. Absolutely. A lot of women roaming the streets of Atwater Village.
Starting point is 00:12:43 From TJ to the Bigfoot Lounge. I've worked with British people for like a decade. And you think I would have something even close to a good British accent. But no, not even a little bit. I grew up in Oregon, though. So I definitely have seen, like I've been around crops. I've been around scarecrows. My mother lives in a part of Portland.
Starting point is 00:13:04 She's like very into gardening. And she really loves her squirrels. She's cultivated a bustling squirrel population. But there's also a lot of hawks. So her. Sure. And her boyfriend, which feels so weird to your mother in her 60s has a boyfriend. I love it.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Here we are, her and her hot piece of ass boyfriend. They've situated a mannequin. So a scarecrow would be much more preferable, but apparently that's not enough. A mannequin is much more terrifying. It's so scary, and they move it around to keep the hawk on its toes. You gotta keep them guessing.
Starting point is 00:13:42 So it's like wearing clothes, but it's like a white-faced department store mannequin. I stay at my mom's house. It's the worst thing. It's the worst. I'm thinking of emancipating myself legally. What is the mannequin outfitted in?
Starting point is 00:13:57 It varies. Is it seasonal? Like put a coat on it in the winter? Do they feel bad for it? It's tweed right now as the seasons are changing. No, it's not tied to any sort of gender identity or anything like that. They just throw different clothes on it and then they wash those clothes. And yeah,
Starting point is 00:14:15 so that's my current experience with scarecrows. And then going back in the past, it's mostly pumpkin patches. Right. Uh-huh. Yes. And the Wizard of Oz. Yep.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Yep. Yep. Yep. i had unsurprising to literally no one who's ever listened to this podcast i had a big crush on the scarecrow in wizard of oz alfred what uh what is your experience that's the craziest fucking take i ever heard just need to put that out there um if you're gonna have a crush on anyone from the wizard of oz franchise it's if it's not the scarecrow i don't know what to tell you no it's the uncle who plays the lion before he turns into the lion in the black and white whose name i cannot remember um i uh i think i i think i identified most closely with the cowardly lion um as a child um which will also shock nobody. As a child? I also did use If I Only Had a Brain,
Starting point is 00:15:08 the Scarecrow song from The Wizard of Oz as an audition song when I was maybe 13. For college. For college. Didn't get the part. Did not get the part. Auditioning for Carnegie Mellon. To give the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.
Starting point is 00:15:25 It's like shockingly accurate. In lieu of an essay. I have a performance piece. And in many ways that is how I got into college. It was just by sort of what if I told you he can barely read, write, or do math, but he can sing-ish.
Starting point is 00:15:42 But no, I didn't really have a lot of experience with with scarecrows growing up which is surprising because i grew up pretty rural um but uh you know i don't know if they i don't know if they work like you know in your story seems to imply that it does work if you are dedicated to the cause that you keep changing it and you keep changing the location of the clothes but a lot of the reviews i read were pretty negative pretty negative about the efficacy of the scarecrows um so i don't know i don't know if i would even bother investing in one if i had a garden but i guess it'd be worth a try or do you have a green thumb do you do either of you ever
Starting point is 00:16:20 have a green thumb i have a garden i have a i have a couple of garden boxes uh in the back but i've covered them and it's not the crows i'm so worried about with that it's the it's the various other the neighborhood critters the neighbors it's my fucking neighbors the neighbors it's like i've covered it but it's like they see the covering oh yeah move the covering or change it like you can't fool them bruce and tran sneak over and pop the little cherry tomatoes in their mouths to their heart's content and scurry off like a couple of raccoons. Yeah. I had a neighbor at an apartment I lived in in Chicago who they had a garden that was abundant.
Starting point is 00:16:54 And it was this older couple that lived there. He'd lived in the house for 50 years. He'd lived there his entire life as a kid and then grew up and had this, got married and moved back into his childhood home. But they had this garden and it would produce so much produce and they would just give it to me. And it was genuinely the best part about living there. And I miss it. And you found out he was killing people and using their bodies to fertilize the vine.
Starting point is 00:17:16 And that was how. It was so. That's exactly right. I don't know why for some reason someone living in a house for 50 years like screams haunted to me, even though it's like, I'm sure it was a beautiful home. They have a lot of great memories. But like just the thought of that, I'm like, oh, okay, 100% Ian, he's a murderer. Like, there's no way that, like, you don't live somewhere for that long.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Why are you hanging on to it? What's buried under there that you're scared of someone finding? Yeah. Exactly. What are you, what crime are you waiting to, for the statute of limitations to run out on? He once sold me three air conditioning units for like five bucks each where it's like i don't know if he like thought i would be embarrassed to just take them for free so he was like no give me a little something and i'm like you could have just given them to me i know
Starting point is 00:17:55 you didn't need 15 you own a single family home in chicago you're not hurting for cash just throw me a couple fibers yeah that paid his property tax for the year though because he bought it 50 years ago the house is still valued at like 300 the price that his grandparents bought it for when it was like you know still rural chicago because it was like 300 blocks above whatever. It was downwind of the river before they now it's the bean. They turned his house into the bean.
Starting point is 00:18:32 It's crazy and he's still there. That's why he hasn't moved. He can't get out because it's all anyway. Should we get into it? Finding the door takes forever on that thing. That's the biggest problem. It's all mirrors. I don't know if it's on one of these sides. Should we get into it no i'd love to oh okay kind of a disagreement here would you rather should we talk about birds for more just talk about more chicago just more
Starting point is 00:18:56 chicago architecture i took a what else what else did you take the boat did you take the boat tour i took the boat tour oh you. I was there earlier this summer. My wife is from Highland Park. Oh, no way. Yeah, so we did the architectural boat tour. It's a blast. I've always wanted to do that. I haven't done that yet. It was a delight.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Let's get into it. Should we get into it now? It's genuinely the one thing I always recommend. It's always the one thing I recommend. He had to plug the boat tour, and now he's ready. It's honestly fantastic. It was funny, informative. It's like 90 minutes. They sell drinks on the boat if you're into that. It's honestly fantastic. Like, it was funny, informative. It's like 90 minutes.
Starting point is 00:19:25 They sell drinks on the boat if you're into that. It was delightful. My tour guide one time was a man who had served in Vietnam and he talked about it pretty much every building. He found a way to tie it back
Starting point is 00:19:38 into his time in Vietnam. So there's kind of, you know, there's varying experiences. Let me tell you about another boat tour. This tour lasted nine months, longest nine months of my life. I know a guy who does the tour now, though, and I don't know if he's qualified,
Starting point is 00:19:55 but he does it. He's a nice guy. Now, what does that mean? I mean, genuinely, he's like 23. I don't think he's qualified. He's not an. I don't think he's qualified. He's not an architect, but I think he's charismatic. And I think it's kind of like the Jungle Cruise with Dwayne the Rock Johnson. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:12 He shoots like, ah, it's Al Capone. Kapang, kapang, kapang. And then he shoots off a little cap gun. Sorry, you just said it's like the Jungle Cruise. Not the ride that's been around for decades, but the Disney film with Emily Blunt and Dwayne the Rock Johnson. That's your touchstone for Jungle Cruise. Is that based on a ride? Next you're gonna tell me
Starting point is 00:20:32 Tomorrowland's not an original property. Alf, do you want to kick us off? I'd love to. Nothing would make me happier than that. Don't believe you? This migraine, though. Oh my god. Come on.
Starting point is 00:20:49 It's not called an R-grain, alright? Keep it to yourself. Oh, fuck. Yeah. You're gonna start the scene and it's gonna be like, oh, I can't, my head hurts. And then we're gonna have to, it's gonna be like a doctor's office and it's just kind of not gonna go anywhere. I have to apologize for that R-grain remark before we keep going. No, I loved the R-Grain.
Starting point is 00:21:05 I do feel bad for you. I feel a lot of empathy for you. I'm sorry. Don't, don't, don't. You did not have to say that. It's like I was hurting physically. In fact, I'd rather you didn't. Now I'm hurting physically and emotionally.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Thanks to you both. So hope you're happy. This is on Amazon.com. This is for Gift Express 2-pack 15.5-inch scarecrow owl decoy with rotating head statue, pest repellent, bird control, bird deterrent, garden protectors, fake owls 2. This is from Doggy. The guardians of Gahool. Right?
Starting point is 00:21:35 Who is it from? Doggy? Doggy, no last name. Ian, can you give us a last name for Doggy? McMillan Sanchez with a hyphen. Doggy McMillan Sanchez. Three stars. And this is a verified purchase
Starting point is 00:21:50 if you were worried. It doesn't work. I purchased this to keep birds away from my pool area and the damn pigeons just chill next to it. I've been using it for target practice since that's what it's the best use I could find. The pigeons, they still chill until they see me with the pellet gun.
Starting point is 00:22:11 So what he's implying is that the pigeons are not only smart enough to tell that it's not a real owl, but also smart enough to recognize a gun and be afraid of a gun. They're like, no, that's a fake owl. But that is a real gun. You guys keep coming back. Yeah, pellets like because it doesn't seem sorry.
Starting point is 00:22:41 What were you going to say? No, I'm with you on that. Like also they're pigeons you can't come in a pigeon with an owl like the pigeons have seen too much right you know what i mean like also the gun is only going to keep them away for a little while what's the alternative for them you know there's not like a good situation for pigeons no no and and and at the end of the day like unless you're going to sit out there and shoot for all day, every day, there's kind of an unlimited number of pigeons. I don't think you could, if you were using a real gun, you could still bag a dozen pigeons a day and there would just be a dozen pigeons the next day. Just ready to take their place.
Starting point is 00:23:18 They operate the way the Soviet Red Army did. Exactly. It's just a numbers game for them. Yeah. Five people per gun. Yeah. Throwing pigeons at the problem. It's like 3 a.m. Coming out in a bathrobe. Honey, honey, you gotta put the gun away. Come back
Starting point is 00:23:35 to bed. They're gonna keep coming. You've barely gotten any sleep. Come on, come back to bed. Okay. Just five more minutes. Five more minutes. I'll get one. I'll get one. You said five more minutes Five more minutes I'll get one I'll get one You said five more minutes Three hours ago What is it gonna take
Starting point is 00:23:49 For you to get inside? Hey, you hear that? You hear that? You're what? You don't fucking hear that Arnold, come on You've been at this for days You're probably just imagining things.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Arnold, Jesus Christ, you're going to wake up in a minute. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I'm going to bed. Okay. You can join me or not, but in the morning, don't say, oh, I have a migraine because I couldn't get enough sleep because I'm not going to deal with that shit anymore. I just want to say, you're always blaming me for my migraines. You know, it's congenital, right?
Starting point is 00:24:23 My mother had them. My grandmother had them. My grandmother had. It's in the family. I'm inside. I'm gone. If you want to come to bed, come to bed. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:30 I'll be there. Pass me that coconut. In this situation, the pigeons are splashing around in the pool. They're enjoying the pool. They're not just outside of the pool. They're in there. Hey. Get out of there, Earl.
Starting point is 00:24:53 I'll fucking shoot your ass. Shoot me. I don't care. Give me the gun. I'll do it myself. What? Give me the gun. I'll do it myself.
Starting point is 00:25:03 No. It's a good shot. No, put it in my mouth. Put the gun in my mouth. You think I care? I'm a fucking pigeon. What? Come on. Come on. It's no fun when you... Is that gonna make you feel good? Get his ass, Tyler. Get his ass, Tyler.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Is that what makes you feel like a man? No, it's just... Is that what makes you feel like a man? He's shaking in his moccasins. Look at him. You're shitting in the pool. I want to use it. I swim in it. Well, you don't's just... Is that what makes you feel like a man? He's shaking in his moccasins. Look at him. You're putting... You're shitting in the pool. I want to use it. I swim in it. Well, you don't pee in the pool?

I keep them on my porch. Everyone loves it.
Starting point is 00:34:05 He's the center of attention. It's giving kind of like boy mom energy. And I say that in quotes like very like, oh, well, he's my darling. Oh, he's my special boy. Well, he's my handsome, sexy boy.

Starting point is 00:34:45 did you watch MILF Manor? Did we watch MILF Manor? It's very MILF Manor. I've heard of MILF Manor. I watched two episodes and felt very gross and had to stop. It was an uncomfortable. Also just for visual I just need to show you guys maybe I'll put this on the Instagram after but this is
Starting point is 00:35:03 the darling boy. I was gonna say I saw a lot that i saw a lot of the scarecrows kind of have that it's like he is darling have that aesthetic though where it's like they've it's one like single piece of fabric or whatever the pants you know it's like patterned to look like it's kind of you know patchwork and it's been stitched up and it's a little rough around the edges but it's like it's not actually it's just they want the aesthetic of that kind of like rustic burlap sack you know pants scarecrow there's someone in taiwan sewing prefab worn out burlap scarecrow outfits for amazon taking a belt sander to it has to be the right amount of distressed for looking at that thing that's less of a uh scarecrow and more of a charm
Starting point is 00:35:54 neighbor you know right yeah yeah yeah yeah 100 i'm gonna take i'm gonna take off it's very like just happy-go-lucky guy i i have i've never been to one of these in person but i have definitely seen a party they're very nice you suck like a scarecrow like decorating competition have you ever heard of those no i think you made it those? No, I didn't make it up. You made that up whole cloth. Not announce the truth. But just imagining just like a bunch of like, it's like a PTA event. Like a bunch of neighborhood moms getting together. Oh, Carol, I love what you're doing. That looks great.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Thank you. It's, you know, I actually had kind of a model back home that I'm working off of, if you know what I mean. Oh, right, right. Is that the scarecrow that we saw in your house that was just sort of wide out there in the open? Wasn't under the overhang? Oh, this one? Oh, God. Well, I mean, you know, we had to keep him outside for a second because we wanted to give him a little bit of that, like, weather.
Starting point is 00:37:04 He's kind of like been through it. Like kind of get this dirt on his hands. But not for long. Not for long. We also have a scarecrow out there just sort of exposed to the elements. We did see that. Yeah. Quite exposed.
Starting point is 00:37:18 As in? Tracy and Leanne, I hear your concerns, but I promise, I swear, hand to God. Like I swear on my son's life. I swear on my husband's life, I swear on my life, I would never leave this darling boy out there for more than an hour. So if you drove by the house, that's probably when you saw it. I just think it's so amazing that you happen to know exactly when torrential weather is going to come through so that the scarecrow wouldn't be out there when it rained or when the sun was too extreme. I just think that's amazing that you have that intelligence. I'm just so jealous of that. And I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:37:48 I don't think we got a clear look at your scarecrow. Cause it's looking a little, I would say it's not looking realistic as much as the other ones are. It's looking a little bit dusty. This is the one you kept probably in the basement for a couple months. No, it is. I kept it in a furnished basement. Yeah? I kept it in a furnished basement, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:06 I kept it in a furnished basement for Christmas. Semi-Furlished. Semi-Furnished. Because it's got a furnished section, but then there's that laundry room that's very much- When my boy goes over to your house, he says, oh, it's not fully finished yet, and it hasn't been finished for four years. He says, oh, they've been kind of working on it for four years. Well, your boy would know about it's not fully finished yet and it hasn't been finished for four years oh they've been kind of working on it for well your boy would know about something not being fully finished uh the the basement is is plumbed and partially carpeted right and your husband's been saying he's gonna get around to finishing the carpeting for sorry how many years
Starting point is 00:38:38 oh you are four oh my goodness uh that's a lot of years. Yeah, four years. I believe that's how long it took Eric to finish, what was it, third grade? Yes. Well, my boy is, you know, he takes after his mother. You know what I mean? He's a slow bird. Yeah. Speaking of slow bird, let's have a look at your scarecrow there.
Starting point is 00:39:00 It looks like you decided you wanted to- I don't mind if I do. No shirt. That's an interesting choice No shirt Yeah the no shirt It's just kind of all straw Well I actually modeled mine after my Beautiful real life baby boy Eric
Starting point is 00:39:13 And no he might not be the most academic But he certainly ripped And so if you take a look I've actually Stitched the V Into his Scarecrow tummy. So I think we're all probably quite jealous of that. The biceps are remarkably realistic.
Starting point is 00:39:31 You've even got the vein going down the middle of the bicep that you've managed to do with straw. That's... Thank you. Thank you. That's breathtaking. I, you know, sometimes when I, you know, when things are slow around the house, you know, I take to my little hobbies. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
Starting point is 00:39:49 And I think we have a way in this culture of demonizing women's hobbies, which I just don't think is appropriate. No one said anything about demonizing hobbies. Well, Carol, you made a comment. I don't know what you're talking about. You had made a comment. What, about you loving your work? I mean, a home you're talking about. You had made a comment. What about you loving your work? I mean, a homemaker is a job. That is, that is, you're taking a lot of time.
Starting point is 00:40:11 It's so important. It's so important. I agree. It's a full-time job. Well, yes. And yet somehow I still have time for my hobbies. And it's nice that somebody in your family does have a full-time job. Well, I think, I think that's a rather uncalled for illusion
Starting point is 00:40:27 yes as we all know open secret hubby has been underemployed recently but um you know the firm never heard that term for it no that's well he's still getting residuals from the firm so things are things are gonna be fine. We're not worried. Speaking of firm, what's going on with the pants on your scarecrow there? Well, he's well endowed. If that's what you're referring to.
Starting point is 00:40:57 You know. Oh my god. What, you have an issue? You're telling me. No, none at all. None at all. Oh, I'm sorry. Does this look abnormal to you guys? Is this?
Starting point is 00:41:10 Just in the sense that none of the other scarecrows are in doubt at all. At all. Well, I don't know whose problem that is. You guys are missing out. I mean, there's no harm in it. We're missing out? I'm just saying it is more. These birds are cleverer than ever.
Starting point is 00:41:27 It's just... My scarecrow's wearing old jeans. Her scarecrow's wearing old jeans. Your scarecrow's wearing gray sweatpants. Yes, and is hung like a horse. And he's beautiful, and I love every inch of him. His scarecrow is shirtless. Every inch of him.
Starting point is 00:41:41 With gray sweatpants. Yes, and a huge... Extremely hung. Huge hung member. And I think that's beautiful. Your scarecrow's biting its lip and kind of arching one of its eyebrows.
Starting point is 00:41:52 He's horny. I don't understand what you guys don't understand. I mean, he's my horny baby modeled on my beautiful son. He's got a little you kind of have like a little you fashion some resin
Starting point is 00:42:02 to have little droplets of sweat forming at the brow and at the temples. Absolutely. And so you definitely modeled this after your 20-year-old son. Well, it's a blend. You know, my 20-year-old son who's in ninth grade and, of course, Lin-Manuel Miranda. My celeb crush. I just think he's so witty.
Starting point is 00:42:23 I love his little rhymes. I think we can all agree on that. He is so witty. I love his little rhymes. I think we can all agree on that. He is so Oh, we can all agree. Oh my god. Have you heard the scuttlebutt? I know I sure have. Ladies, it's good to laugh.
Starting point is 00:42:39 Why don't we bury the proverbial hatchet and why don't you come over to my house later and you can all take a turn with him. If you'd like. I mean, I'm not, I don't mean to be presumptuous, but I mean, Leanne, I know your marriage is on the rocks. I don't know if I'll take a turn, but I'd at least like to be in the room where it happens. And that will work for me. What does that mean? Well, I get off
Starting point is 00:43:11 on it. I have kind of a public exhibition thing. Would you like to watch? Well, I thought you were going to say, we can watch Hamilton on your Disney Plus account I really thought that that's where this was going no no no no it's being intimate with my boy with the scarecrow

That's going up in the ranks. Doesn't even have a clock. Who said that? Who said that?
Starting point is 00:44:30 Carol, you shouldn't say that. I didn't say anything. The kind Mrs. Johnson was admiring our very classical scarecrows that do not have a working penis. And a working... My God, let me see. Oh, well, hello, Tina. Good to see you. Oh, my...
Starting point is 00:44:51 Mrs. Johnson, are you okay? Oh, my God, I think she's having a heart attack. No, no, this is just how older people get aroused. No, what? Is it not? I think she's having an actual... I think we might need to call an ambulance. I think she's having an actual heart attack.

Starting point is 00:45:58 we just need one person to fill out the paperwork, give us kind of cause of death. I can do it. And the information. I think everyone's looking at me to assume a power position in this moment. So I will take the reins as it were. Can I ask what your relationship was to the deceased? I mean, there's so many to choose from. Just pick one.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Mentor, confidant. You were this 83-year-old woman's mentor. Yes. I mean, in many ways, I think, you know, while she invented the competition, you know, the scarecrow competition, I perfected it with my beautiful tongue. We would love to get this body to the morgue as quick as possible, so if we could really just
Starting point is 00:46:34 I will pick mentor, that is fine. It doesn't matter to me. I really just need it for the paperwork. Okay. Time of death? I don't know. Lunch time? I don't know why I'm asking you. That should be me. That was about four.

Is this, oh, sorry, my mum just dropped her bag. Is this your establishment, miss? Yes, I'm managing this estate sale, you see. I fly from estate sale to estate sale, especially when it's specially wealthy people. Oh, what a glamorous life.

My God, that could put us in so much hot water.

Oh my god. Well, who are we? Royalty or what, boys? This is so-
Starting point is 00:54:52 Hey, boys. One second, boys. Gather round. This is a very important moment. This is a moment where you're going to learn to bargain, but not too much. You don't want to look cheap. You have to hold yourselves with class hold yourself hold your heads high all right yeah i mean i don't i don't really know who you're trying to convince love i mean me and me and the broth we're pretty good uh bargaining wise you're the one who's fucking shaking like a newborn rabbit i don't know what happened to you.

Starting point is 00:55:37 Is it solid gold pieces? I can't even imagine. Well, as we head back to this room, I think you can see there's this beautiful 18th century landscape painting with a frame that's worth more than anything that you'll find in another space. Oh, I mean, the frame alone. I don't know what could be more beautiful than that. Well, I think that's the exact word you would use to describe this painting is beautiful. And then as you keep walking here, no doubt you'll see this beautiful Tiffany lamp, which is...
Starting point is 00:56:05 Oh, my. Oh, my God, I can see my reflection. Oh, it's blinding. It's blinding. It's so beautiful. And this lamp here, I think you would call stunning. Yeah, the painting was beautiful
Starting point is 00:56:13 and this lamp here is stunning. It is. That is stunning. You are right. But what awaits us on the other side of this door here? If I could be so bold, I believe there's only one word
Starting point is 00:56:24 to describe it, and I'm not going to be a little chickadee and lay an egg in your head, but... Well, let's just go here. Let me stop you before you open that door. Let me... Christopher! Shush! You stupid bird.
Starting point is 00:56:42 I'm going to make you an offer. Sight unseen. Christopher, you don't even know who it is Shut it, 100 grand Whatever's behind that door we'll take it 100 grand, deal or no deal I'm going to chalk this up to the Foolishness of you That you would toss out a number like 100 thousand dollars
Starting point is 00:57:04 Yes, thank you Thank you would toss out a number like $100,000 before even seeing. Thank you. Thank you. The knob on this door I wouldn't sell for $100,000, let alone the resplendent image it's hiding. I can hardly wait. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:57:19 Christopher, for the love of all things holy. Hang one minute. Let me speak to the banker. It's not a banker. Beans over to the silent brother. All right. The banker has said, we're willing to go as high as $250,000.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Final offer. Deal or no deal? $250,000. That's right. American. Currency of choice. Assuming the exchange rate is sort of comparable I mean Well I feel like I should also get a say in this
Starting point is 00:57:50 Because we have not yet seen what it is I cannot stress it enough Shut up Sorry about her she's new Of course Well I have a wonderful mother I could set you up with after this if you're looking. But for now. This is unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:58:09 I think I'd rather go stag for a while. But thank you for the offer. You are 16 years old. You need a guardian. Will you please let me deal? Please, will you please open the door so we can see what my boys would like to buy for $250,000. It's $250,000 and you take everything in this room. Everything, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:33 Not just the item I was talking about, but everything. Storage wars rules. Let's do it. In a handshake? Ooh, what a strong grip for a 16-year-old boy Thank you, I play bass Well Say goodbye to the lives you were living up until this moment
Starting point is 00:58:56 And say hello To the rest of your lives Oh The room is empty except for one stool in the corner with a scarecrow. It's the only two things in the room. Tuscan burlap.
Starting point is 00:59:20 Oh. A stitching technique that is only practiced anymore in a 14th century abbot in the countryside of Italy. My word. And if you'll just walk over to it here with me just to get a closer look here on these overalls. What do you notice about these overalls? Oh, those buttons. That's right. They're stitched onto the body.
Starting point is 00:59:46 They're stitched onto the body. They're stitched onto the body. It is ivory. It's ivory of a rhino species that hasn't existed for over 200 years. Wow. It died a very painful death, I can assure you. We're getting this hay man and the stool for $250,000 currency of your choice. You can thank me later, Mum.
Starting point is 01:00:11 That's right. Can I be perfectly honest? I feel like I'm in the company of friends now. We're all rich here, Mum. Come on. That's very rich. I feel like we got a steal. I mean, genuinely, miss.
Starting point is 01:00:28 I feel like you undersold. You underplayed your hand. I would have easily done seven. I mean, that's the game of estate sales, isn't it? You say $250,000. Can I give you an extra 50? I couldn't take it. I feel bad
Starting point is 01:00:45 I feel genuine guilt I absolutely could not I mean he's The only word I can think of To describe him Is gorgeous He's gorgeous He is gorgeous
Starting point is 01:00:54 He's gorgeous Now I do have some Follow up questions I do have some Follow up questions Okay Of course
Starting point is 01:01:00 Before we sign the contracts Of course this is all standard This is all standard Where are you planning On keeping This hey man As you call him A scarecrow Of course, I can imagine. Before we sign the contracts. Of course, this is all standard. This is all standard. Where are you planning on keeping this hayman, as you call him, or scarecrow? Hayman. Well, I mean, one would think that he would be kept outside. Customary for scarecrows.
Starting point is 01:01:17 But not. I think I could speak for the family. Oh, absolutely. There's no way. There's no way that this gorgeous boy is going to be braving the elements. Oh, God, no. No, we will set him up nicely. You know, he won't have to worry. He'll get a room in the home.
Starting point is 01:01:31 He'll get a bed, you know, anything he could want. So I don't want, if you want to do a home check, we have a backyard. It is fully enclosed. We have a gate around the pool. We wouldn't like to call it anything as undignified as a home check, but we do like to foster a community around our scarecrows. One last thing,
Starting point is 01:01:50 and I do want you to be aware of this. Your accent really is wandering. You've said that before. I'm hearing it now. It's because she's rich, Mom. Rich people sound like that. There's just one last thing here that I wanted to make you aware of before we finally finalize the sale. Sorry, before we finalize the sale of the Scarecrow.
Starting point is 01:02:19 Yes. He does have a fully functioning penis. Oh, fucking hell. I want to give you ten million dollars. I simply can't. The banker has just told me that we have to give you
Starting point is 01:02:34 at least another million. We have to. Any more money and I'll start doing accents that have become less tolerable for a person of my background to do as we've become more aware of social
Starting point is 01:02:50 injustice and a lot of rich people he couldn't be older than like he couldn't be like older than five I'd like to say something oh my god the banker speaks I think we should give him the whole lot I think we should give her everything Oh my god! The banker speaks! Oh my god!
Starting point is 01:03:07 I think we should give him the whole lot. I think we should give her everything we've got. Because this hayman, this scarecrow, it's our new brother, it's our new father, it's our new everything, and we can't thank her enough. This is the first
Starting point is 01:03:22 word he has said in nine months. This is, um... This is amazing. And I just have to ask, when you say the whole lot, do I... Do I also get your grandmother's skeleton? Well, the banker, it's up to you. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:46 Absolutely. Hang on a minute. Guys, I think we might have lost sight of what's really important here. We're willing to trade granny skeleton for a scarecrow with a human cock. That seems a bit of a stretch. She didn't say human. She just said fully functioning. I am looking at the bulge
Starting point is 01:04:05 and there is no way that that is not flesh. I do have to say that this is a Shetland pony penis. Oh my. I do, if we are, if we really need to give him the breast. You can take my corpse
Starting point is 01:04:17 when I'm gone. You can take mine. Give her granny. You can take the boys. You can take mine, whatever. Shetland? Oh, fuck it. Fuck it all.
Starting point is 01:04:29 Give you my soul. Come on, Grandma. We've got a flight to catch. Should we do our last segment? Let's do it. Okay. Dance! It shook me all week long.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Alf, we forgot to set an intention for the episode. We didn't set an intention. We forgot to set an intention. Let's retroactively do it. We normally set intentions. Let's set intentions retroactively. The intention for this episode. God, this episode was. It's going to be the most.
Starting point is 01:05:04 It's going to be the girthiest episode the girthiest episode we've ever done yeah so Daniel just throw that in earlier he just stitches that in this is gonna be the girthiest episode and then the theme song starts Ian what has been shaking
Starting point is 01:05:21 you what's something that you just can't get enough of had too much, can't stop thinking about? It can be quite literally anything. The stakes couldn't be lower. I can't get enough of riced cauliflower or cauliflower rice, if you call it that. I've been getting really in to, I went pretty hard this summer as far as eating absolutely everything I wanted to. And then I got a natural wine because I thought that didn't count as alcohol. And it doesn't.
Starting point is 01:05:56 It doesn't, by the way. And it doesn't, by the way. And the Supreme Court has recently ruled on that. It's natural. And you will be pleading that in the DUI case, yeah? I will be pleading that. I will be passing out little glasses of, little Dixie cups of natural wine at my proceeding.
Starting point is 01:06:12 But as a way to sort of detox from all that fun of eating a lot of riced cauliflower and boy oh boy does it take up room in your stomach. It really is kind of the most just like- Boy, oh boy, is it filling.
Starting point is 01:06:27 This is a vehicle for anything else. Yes, you can put stuff on this and you will forget that you're eating cauliflower a little bit. A little bit. I feel like every time I've had it, it's always like a little bit watery. Just a little. Oh, it's not good.
Starting point is 01:06:43 If you're comparing it to Oh, it's not good. If you're comparing it to food, it's not good. But compared to nothing, compared to being hungry, it's good. Okay. Yes. And I just think we have to start grading rice cauliflower on a curve like that. That's fair. How do you take it? How do you
Starting point is 01:06:59 take your rice cauliflower? In a pan, and I'll heat it up, and then I'll just put an array of whatever sort of sauces and spices I can get my hands on. Did you also know that spices can expire? I sure did. Because I found this out at the age of 38, which is how old I am right now. And what was the spice? What was the spice?
Starting point is 01:07:21 I was going to ask that one. It was like a turmeric, I a tur like a turmeric i think or something like that where i was like it had gone south i ate the cauliflower rice anyway but this is when i found out that like this had been with me i think i may have bought it in portland oregon and i've lived in la for more than a decade so it really put up a fight can they i know i guess i might be learning something here. Can they go bad and hurt you? I don't know. Or is it just they go-
Starting point is 01:07:49 Sorry? I mean, can they go bad? You're not going to get sick, are you? Or is it just like it doesn't taste good? The doctor told me that I have three weeks left to live. And that was two and a half weeks ago. So, so far, so good. Well, you're going out on a bad-
Starting point is 01:08:04 I don't know. I don't know if they can hurt you. They cannot taste as good. Right. That's for sure. But it feels like they hopefully can't hurt you because I'm realizing now that I have many a spice that I will use a single grain of once every three months. I just assume because Marco Polo took them on what had to be years long journeys that it's just fine no matter what. And they never got scurvy.
Starting point is 01:08:28 I understand. It's like, I never would have, it doesn't in my head. I don't know if this sounds dumb, but it's like, it's like, it doesn't make sense for spices to turn.
Starting point is 01:08:36 Like, I don't know why, but I remember like I was cleaning out. Well, I'm also, I'm a hypochondriac with anxiety and incredibly neurotic. And so I check expiration dates all the time on things. And so I remember like, you know, I think my boyfriend and I were cooking and he was
Starting point is 01:08:53 like, we need this. And I'm like, oh, or he's like, are we out of that? Do we have that? And I checked the date on it and it was incredibly old. And I remember like going to toss it and it was like one giant clump like coming out of the and it was like years old years old the expiration dates on spices are jump scares you're like 2015 100 you're like crazy like numbers yeah anyway that's what's that's what's shaking me i'm i'm make godspeed on the rice cauliflower cauliflower rice i hope you get another jar of turmeric that you don't throw out until you're 60 years old.
Starting point is 01:09:31 I'm waiting for it to make the journey. It's like wedding anniversary wine or champagne. It's your anniversary turmeric. We have our anniversary cake and the kid where our anniversary was last week. And now I got a cake. Oh, happy anniversary. Thank you very much. You got to deal with so romantic. Well, I Thank you very much. That you got to deal with.
Starting point is 01:09:45 So romantic. Well, I'm trying to eat healthy now, and it's like, fuck, there's a whole cake here. Just throw some turmeric on it. Just throw it over some rice cauliflower. That's what I'm hoping how it works. I'll just flop the entire cake on a bed of rice cauliflower. Riley, what's been shaking? No, I did you first.
Starting point is 01:10:00 Riley, what's been shaking you? Alfie, teeny bobeeny. No, Riley, whiny Riley come up with something cause I need to rack my little brain oh Christ what has been shaking me um I have one okay great
Starting point is 01:10:17 I just thought of one did I talk about this already fuck I can't remember my blackout curtains no um the uh I once inadvertently tried to talk about my blackout curtains for this segment like three weeks in a row without remembering that I'd done it. No, I went to a graveyard. I went to a graveyard. You went just for fun? Well, to pick my plot.
Starting point is 01:10:37 No, I went to a graveyard last weekend because I just moved. I'm not going to dox myself i moved to chicago a place in chicago where there is a graveyard nearby there's a lot of graveyards in chicago it's a haunted city um and i had a really good time just walking around and like looking at the graves and like so you went you did just go just for fun i genuinely went to like because here's the thing to get into chicago geography for you i used to live really close to the lake and you lived in the bean i used to live in the bean which is very very close to the lake and you could just kind of finally got out like one of those giant hamster balls you could kind of walk and the bean would move and i could get some water that way but now i live
Starting point is 01:11:17 further inland and so it's like the green space is like a little harder to come by because the lake is so verdant um and so now I have this graveyard, which is going to be my new lake. I'm going to be going there, going for a swim in the mausoleum. I have a graveyard, which is going to be my new lake. You want to sing that like it's a Vecura lyric?
Starting point is 01:11:37 I have a graveyard. That's going to be my new lake. It's going to be my new lake. It's going to be my lake. Just bringing it back to me, obviously getting everywhere I've ever gotten in life by singing and I no but genuinely Charles Dickens' brother is buried there
Starting point is 01:11:54 and his entire epitaph is like Augustus Dickens or whatever brother of Charles Dickens and it's like fucking hell if I died and my epitaph was just like Sam's brother, that would be pretty brutal.
Starting point is 01:12:11 It was his idea to name him Ebenezer. Really? No, I don't know. I'm like, I'm his brother, but yeah, I told him the name of Ebenezer. I was the one who came up with the Ebenezer. Yeah. Bah humbug. I used to say that. He put that in becausezer. Yeah. Bah humbug. I used to say that.
Starting point is 01:12:25 He put that in because I used to say bah humbug. I used to walk around a cemetery all the time when I lived in Portland. Yeah. It's just kind of fun. And they're not like recent enough that you're kind of like, ugh. Like it's an old graveyard. Most of the death dates are like 1930. So you're like.
Starting point is 01:12:42 Yeah. That's fun. I like that. I feel like I've, i drove past a graveyard last i was in chicago funny enough where it was like fresh like fresh dirt and it's that's tough that's sad yeah we don't have graveyards in la because as soon as someone turns 40 they're shipped out to somewhere else in the country yep the whole place is kind of like disneyland no one has ever died yes everyone gets shipped out to like Orange County.
Starting point is 01:13:07 It's like you have to die across the border. Vote Republican and then die. What's been shaking me? What's been shaking me? Okay, I have kind of an earnest one. Sorry. Sorry. We're getting earnest.
Starting point is 01:13:22 It's okay. So I watched, my mom and i watched little miss sunshine for the first time in forever uh this past week it's such a fucking perfect movie it's amazing but i um watching oh my god for those of you who are not familiar go watch it it's it's a fantastic fantastic movie it's one of my favorite favorite it's daniel rashid's favorite movie of all time it's so good um but the scene in i wept my way through that movie because i was like i see so much of my younger self in olive and like i the this the alamode ice cream diner scene oh i was crying the entire time i couldn't stop crying watching that film and like i just uh anyway if you want to dm me about body dysmorphia don't but no that's kind
Starting point is 01:14:17 of what the sentiment of this of this what shook me is is that it's uh so anyway so my new thing is like my new thing a thing that i know my new thing is my new thing is having body smorgasbord it's like it's like uh i just love the the alamode scene basically the scene is just like is this little girl wanting waffles with ice cream and not understanding the dad is like fat shaming her for eating ice cream and it's just it turns out to be a very sweet moment and so just like hey
Starting point is 01:14:48 Alamode is like my little reminder when my body's Murphy kicks in anyway um fucking I love that movie
Starting point is 01:14:55 Scarecrow so good right yeah no it's so good you don't need to it's so no it's amazing I think
Starting point is 01:15:01 to be earnest to be earnest to be earnest okay go crazy go on I think one of the things I remember when I saw that movie for the first time when I was younger it's amazing. I think, to be earnest, to be earnest, to be earnest. Okay, go crazy. Go on. I think that one of the things I remember when I saw that movie for the first time when I was younger, it's like, it's a portrayal of like an incredibly dysfunctional family in which there's still like a lot of love. You know what I mean? Like everyone's like deep care for each other, even though none of them know how to communicate properly.
Starting point is 01:15:24 Yes. And I was like this is so good it's the same reason i left malcolm in the middle yeah you know but it's like true brian cranston who's in little miss sunshine yes he's like that guy the the the guy who uh uh greg kinnear like tries to sell his like nine step self-help program to you wow and i literally forgot he was in it and he came on screen and I said, is that, is that Brian Cranston?
