Who's there? Your neighbor. Good. In Dignity Falls, you're never alone. You've got the neighbor half app and us. Burn. And Jod. From coyotes to mail theft to weird things to sell.

We'll cover it all. And meet new neighbors as well. We'll chat about any posts you're missing. So just tune in to the neighborhood listen. Welcome once more to the neighborhood listen. Bert, you did a regular welcome. I did. You've been doing welcome.

You've been doing qu' welcome. Oh, okay. And I think you forgot. You were trying to get a B in my bonnet about it. You think I forgot? It was really working. You were needling me. I was not needling you.

It was a classic neighborhood list and needle. I was. It was teasing. I know. That's different than needling. It is true. Thank you. Needling has more of an edge.

Because needles are sharp. Because needles are sharp. Yeah. So go on. This is the neighborhood list of the podcast that explored the neighborhood of dignity falls through the eyes of its many residents, two of whom are talking to you right now. First, I'm the guy who is talking,

and my name is burnt me a payday. I'm the pharmacist in chief at the Dignity Falls, Dignity Falls, Missy Pharmacy. And that is how you have to answer the phone every time of the pharmacy. Dignity Falls, Dignity. No one can ever get through it. Unless the phone rings.

If you make a phone sound, then I can do it. They're going to switch it over to AI, right? They're implementing that. They're trying to. Do they have the robot pharmacist yet? I know they were threatening those. They brought one in who started

filling pills, and then he just went, he fell over. Oh, God. He went crazy. Did you try to do some Michael Jackson moves? He got up and started doing Michael Jackson moves. We were all impressed when he stood up. Why are they all running Michael Jackson moves? I don't know.

I guess he's the most robotic dancer of all time. And they're like, take two with food. When they give the consultation? Take at bad time. Might cause dark urine. They keep, what's that? Might cause dark urine? That's right.

That's a common side effect. There's nothing more comforting than hearing that. Starring. Richard Deere, I think, would be good in that. You'd be great in Darguer. It'd be a gritty, a gritty story. That would be a great movie about pharmacist called Darkier. They keep telling us, look, it's inevitable.

It's going to happen. Might as well get on board. And we keep saying, no, we're not on board. Yeah, like every graduate class of the entire country. Yeah, yeah. Aren't those upsetting, those videos of some smug person being like, Well, it's inevitable. Oh, I love them.

Shut up. No, I'm saying I love them too, but it's gross that they're shoving that down their throats. Well, they're trying to. They're trying to. But you know what they won't replace? What's that? Live theater, baby. You don't think so?

I've got exciting news. Me, with the news, I'm Joan Pedestrian because I haven't introduced myself yet. That's true. And I am the top realtor here at Digny Falls and at Digny Falls. I said it like your thing. If I don't have like a place where I'm actually, we're actually work for. You don't have a place where you answer the phone and have to say a thing. I don't.

I kind of wish I did. Really? secretary, you know, like when I was watching bad men, I was like, oh, I want to be that. You know? Really? Yeah, like, climb and climb. Can I help you? That show specifically, you're like, I wish I could be that.

I just like the outfit. Not the politics. Right. Not the sexual politics. It seems like they all had a miserable time. No, they really did. To be honest, I only watched the first season. Oh, that was the most joyous season.

And that one were the lady, the man, no, we're a guy with a lawnmower. That's right. That's right. But I'm also the local actress, the top local actress. That's right. And I have just been accepted. My musical movie of a musical of the movie, Something's Got to Give, has been accepted to the Dignity Fringe.

This is fantastic news. Now, Dignity Fringe is the oldest theater festival in America. And a lot of big shows premiered at Dignity Fringe. Yes, that's true. People don't realize that Phantom of the Opera was workshop there. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a much smaller scale.

But, you know, it started out as, et cetera, art. I'm so sorry. Feminine overdrive is really picking in today. Leave all this. How dare you. Sometimes I like to cut it out when I can't make names. I know, but this is, I think, very human and I think it's, it's relatable to a lot of our listeners. It's relatable. It's authentic. Yeah. Okay. So basically it started out almost as not like a protest, but it was like called invasive theater. Like people were just busting into restaurants and starting a scene from, you know, like Hamlet or something. People were like, what's this? I don't want this. I didn't ask for this. Yeah. But they were so good, this original band of actors. They were so good.

You didn't mind they were bringing a human skull into a place where you eat food. Not at all. Not at all. And so now it's become, you know, sort of a big deal. People bring the shows here still. And I've got a great space. I'm doing it at the rock cavern. That's exciting.

Yes. It's a tough space to fill, but I feel like we're going to do good. It is. And the thing is, because the seats are naturally occurring. Yes, they are. They're like bucket seats. It's really amazing. They're so smooth.

They're very smooth and comfortable. But they are kind of spread out. They are. So you don't, you don't really get that, that close-knit vibe of an audience. It's the, like, imagine a basketball court,

like a gym at a high school. Yes. Okay. Hopefully everyone at home has it too. That's how big it is, but then just put like, you know, a person at every, you know, 10 rows.

And so they're all over the place. Yeah, it seats 70. It's a vast, it's a vast, it's a vast. Yeah, it's a cavern. It is. It is a cavern. It is a cavern.

It is why it's in the name. The acoustics, though, you can't, beat them. Beautiful. So I'm really excited about that. Yeah, even the bats pay attention. They sure do. In fact, they say if the bats are still, then like you've got a hit on your hands. That's how they know. If you can't hear anything going, then you know you are bound for Broadway. What are they doing when they do that? I think they're scolding each other. Oh, like a tiske, tisks. Wow. I didn't know that. Bats, they're just like us.

It's like if a bad doesn't use echolocation to try to find something, and they're like, what are you doing? Also, it's lit by glowworms. It is lit by glowworms, yes. And that's why another reason it's become popular. It's very Instagramable. People love to go there and take a picture of themselves with the glowworms. You know, a friend of mine, I may have told this story before, and forgive me if I have.

Okay. But a friend of mine went to New Zealand where there is a glowworm cave. Yes. And he and his friends, they were all traveling together. They got to be on this boat together where they take you. you through the glowworm cave and you see them lit up and everything. And then you get a souvenir picture,

which is you and your party in front of a green screen, and then they put a picture of the cave that you saw behind it. That seems weird, not the actual cave? Not the actual cave. Why is that? I guess because you can't take photos in there. You don't want to steal the glowworm souls. No, because they would just show up as a bunch of worms.

Probably. With a flash. That reminds me, Doug loves the glow worms. Babe, where are you recording today? Doug is our engineer and Joan's husband. And my husband. In that order. I am Doug from neighbor listen.

Oh, wow. What's happening? This is amazing. This is the final episode of this season. This is sensational. Was that you? That was me. Singing life?

Singing live. Oh, yes. That wasn't a recording of you singing. Fuck it. Were you singing live? I'm sorry. I was singing live. What's going on?

I'm going crazy. crazy. I'm trying to figure out the syllables of that song how to fit that in. How to fit what in? What are you talking about? First of all, what tune are you singing? What tune do you think you're singing? That was beautiful for me, by the way. And I'm sorry. I feel like I haven't. We haven't talked enough about how, babe, hang on. Just hold that. Okay. Stammy. Bye. Doug, stand by. Two seconds, Doug.

Stand by and stand down. It's interesting. Okay. I, I, I, uh, five minutes. What did you say? Something about five minutes. Yes, and you guys had about five minutes. Okay.

Well, actually eight minutes. Oh, that time he was able to look up. Immediately. How long we were recording. So fast. Jeez. Interesting. Interesting.

I've been trying to get to Doug faster this entire season. I really have. I promise, babe. But I just want to say we haven't given enough attention to the fact that Bert really can sing now. I mean, albeit it is in a very affected way. That's not a judgment.

That's not a judgment. It sounds like it. What's good that's affected? It's an observation, not a judgment. When does anybody say something is effective? They mean it's a compliment. All right, maybe not.

But, you know, I think it is amazing. And just when you just, to hear you sing, a melody is lovely. It's exciting for me. And to have this new, ability in my life and makes me feel more normal. Yes. I mean, it's hard to pick which was a different revelation, which one was the craziest revelation that you have a twin brother named Tert, or you have a ability to sing melodies now.

I have some news about Ternt, by the way. We can get into it later. All right. Let's first go to Doug because he's standing by. And let's see if he's figured out what song he was saying. Yes. Oh, I know what song is. Over to you, Doug. Over to you. It's time to say goodbye. Bocelli. Andrea Bocelli Andrea Bocelli I can see the face he's making to make that

Okay Now you're just saying Italian things Spaghetti Okay That's how I lock in This is fantastic content Oh that's how you lock in With Brusketa

Well we're we're whistling that song For the men's whistle choir Oh that's right He's in lips together sing apart The NDA required men's whistling group And you so you were let back in Because you were on thin ice The what required?

Oh NDA required Yes He was, he had real, speaking of lips together, he had real loose lips the last time he was talking about it. Were there any repercussions from that? There was. I had to whistle winds of change naked. That just sounds like hazing. What?

In front of whom and where and why? The entire choir. Ew. What? That seems very wrong. I don't know if you should stay in that group. This is a weird. They didn't look.

What is it? Skull and bones. What's the Yale thing? This sounds upsetting. It wasn't hazing. It was more just. do you have the stuff to do this? Well, I will say that they brand each other

and I was shocked to see that. I mean, can you whistle under the harshest conditions? All right. I didn't know if that was a reference to being naked. No, no, no. No. No, no. This is a distinguishing.

It's normal naked. So, wait, so you're singing, but where are you? Where are you singing? Oh, I'm in the plaza mayor. The what now? The plaza mayor. Okay. The major plaza?

the major plaza. And what if you go to other countries? It's the, in Italy, it's piazza. Oh, so this is a whole. Spain, it's the Plaza Mayor. Okay. What does that consist of, though? Like, is it just a bunch of marble?

I thought we really needed a centerpiece to the home. Like a plaza. I thought that was the fireplace, which we have in the middle of the house, in the laundry room. That's a hard. Yeah. Well, he dug dismissed that. That's the heart. Is this like, okay.

No, I mean somewhere kind of a courtyard with fountains, statues, seating areas. And this is inside the house? Yeah, sort of in the center. Like a Vegas casino. Because the way they planned cities back then was all around a, you know, back in the old and ye old days. Let's not get too caught up in the time for Doug's prices. I just feel like. Back in ye old.

Okay. We ran into this problem talking about the Potemkin Village and the name of the leader kept changing. Our towns and cities are built on these ugly streets. Oh. You're passionate about this, babe. Yeah. I mean, not Dignity Falls. We have our own.

Our streets are gorgeous. They're a beautiful. Yeah. And it's hard to navigate around this town unless you really have a map and, you know, a legend to the map. You have to want it. Yeah. And if you want it, you better get a map.

But the old cities, they're built around these plazas. What? The old cities are built around. these plazas. Okay. So what I'm saying is, is there like, where is this going? I don't even understand where it can fit. You're secretly Canadian. Because you're saying plaza. Plaza. I'm not secretly Canadian. Okay. I know that. Well, we've established that. I don't like maple syrup at all. Okay. And that's, that's how you know. That's apparently, that's, that's the, that's the test. Can you tell me if you have, I'm going to, I'm going to

shift away from you, Doug, for a minute, because I'm not getting any answers on this plaza. What answers do you need? I asked what it's made of, what it's consistent. How big is it? There's cobblestones. There's cobblestones. Did you break through the roof so that there's light shining through? I need to know that.

It's open doors. Open air. Are you trying to say open concept? No, I feel like I'm really, I don't know what is going on. I'm sorry. Here's what it sounds like it sounds like you're making up as you go along. We're not trying to make you feel crazed. We are just trying to understand it because it's a,

a big concept. It is. And I want to know how big a concept it is. Major. How much square footage? Oh, yes, I understand. It's the Mayor. It really just loves saying Mayor.

I want to know, Bernd, do you have a wedding date yet? Because now that everything has... What a shift. Oh, and you have news about Turnt. Let's start with Turned. We do. Okay. So we've sorted out Doug's place.

We haven't. I just feel like I'm not getting... I'm going to let him think about it for a minute. It's like a core... I don't need to think about it. I'm standing in the middle of it. Okay, but is it marble? Is it like an atrium?

Is it? Are there fountains? There are fountains. He said there were fountains. He did say that. All right. Let's not jump down birds throat.

There is a fountain. Oh, we went from fountains to a fountain. Oh my gosh. That was unnecessary. Is that how I sounded? You're right. No, Doug, that's not how you sounded.

That was all me. There are statues of each of us. Of each of us? Me too? Yeah. Wow. Made out of what? I wanted to save that,

but I felt like I had to cough up all the answer. Well, you know what? I'm glad you coughed it up. Now I'm getting a picture of it. Who else has a statue? The twins and Julyopee. Nice.

Yes. Banana. Escro. Yeah. Wow. Escrow, that reminds me. Escro is, he's at the, that's right now. We had to take him.

He's my dog. In fact, Julyapy wants to start working there. This is balls and talls. This is the local veterinarian. And they, it is honestly the most. All they do. do is neuter dogs and they operate on Great Dains. That's right.

It is, but the, the vets are gorgeous. They are so hot. They're very, they are, and they are, they are, and it is honestly,

it's crazy to go into. You can even look at their faces. Like, it is so, and it's the horniest vet you've ever been to. Absolutely. The dogs, the animals are,

well, let's see the short dogs and the Great Dains are really going at it. They're just humping. But they can't because they get neuter, but they're just, It's just dry, it's just dogs dry humping everywhere. Yeah.

Yeah. It's like grace anatomy for, for veterinarians is what it is, because everyone's just doing it everywhere. And they employ one liar. One liar. One pathological liar who claims to have had been neutered themselves, but then it turns out they weren't. Yep, yep. She said, no, I have neuticles. And it's like, you.

How would that work? There were pictures of it. There were pictures of it. There were pictures of her getting in the nudical treatment. Yeah, yeah. Anyways, we have, it's okay, so there's a statue of the dog. There's a statue of bananas, the cat. And how did you commission these statues or make them?

Gymskis. Your friend Jimskies from a couple seasons ago. That's interesting. What about Toneal? Toneil's not in it. combo? Oh, no way. combo.

He hasn't done me a favor in a long time. No, he promised you would do our cable one. Is Gabby? Do you a Gabby statue? Oh, we could, we could get with me. Jimskis only got there because he helped me out. He didn't. He ran away and left you on that ladder. Yeah, but he helped me out with the Plaza Mayor.

Oh, we did. We was back now. Okay. Yeah, yeah. So I had to make a statue of them. Sure. All right. I got that.

I get that. Well, thank you. That's dub logic for you. Thank you for filling in the blanks on the Plaza Mayor. But I would like now to turn to turn. I just want to say that there are road signs. to go to all the different rooms of our house. So it's a real center.

Oh, that's fun like. Exactly. Thank you. New York 54 miles. Hollywood 63 miles. Like mash. Yes. Is it like in a video game where you can look at the sign and then you just get

transported there? God, I wish. Yeah. I can't figure that out. Don't put that idea in his head. Oh, God. You're afraid he's going to develop teleportation technology? I'm very afraid.

Worse things are going to happen. All right. Answer my two questions. Turned and your wedding date. We get distracted and I'm trying to keep us focused here. Wedding date is later this year. That's not a date burnt. You can't just say later this year. Like when?

Can I finish? Can I finish? All right, fine. Sorry. I get excited about weddings and I have not been invited to one in a very long time. I'm of the age where everyone's married or divorced. We're doing a Christmas wedding. I love it.

Not on Devil's Tower. No, we're going to do it right here in Digany Falls. Oh, wow. Which venue? We haven't picked a venue yet. Because here's the contenders. The post office? The post number one with a bullet. It's beautiful.

It is stunning. I think we've talked about it before. It's gorgeous. It's gorgeous. Can you imagine us standing in front of that counter with the, with the, with the Light streaming in through the stained glass. Yeah. Oh, that overhead light?

Yeah, it's beautiful. And they said they'd silence the bell that you have to ring if you have a package we picked up. They silenced it for 45 minutes. So we have a lot of time to work with. Okay, so number one is post office. What is the other words? Number two is

that place where the barbershop quartet died. Oh, in all town. Yeah, in Old Town. And under that is an event venue. Oh, wait, I didn't know about this. There's a great that you lift up. Oh, no, wait, like a speakeasy style? Like speak easy catacombs.

Yeah. Like speakeasy catacombs. Speak easy catacombs. How about how I've not heard of this? And so to get in, you have to do a chant. Oh. So all the guests are going to have to do that. They have to do a Gregorian chant together.

Do you know it yet? Yes. Okay. Can I hear it, please? It goes like this. You know my mom. name some do me nemano. I was trying to do enigma.

You can't do a nigma. You can't do a nigma. They will not let you in. I can't hear chanting without an enigma beat. Come on. Was there anything better than chant? Was there anything better than enigma? What about Hooked on Classics?

Where it would be classical music with just claps. What about hooked on classics? Do you remember hooked on classics? I think I do. It was a real thing. Wait, so everyone's going to have to do. this chant? Yes.

And then what's it like down there? It is gorgeous. Okay. It is like a preserved. Post office gorgeous? Well, obviously not. Okay. But it is,

it's a fun venue because it's a combination of catacombs and a speakeasy. So there's like jazz? There's jazz playing and then there's bones. The end of the marimba sounds. There's marimba sounds for bones.

There is a guy playing a skeleton. Okay. I knew it. And he wears a skeleton costume, which is awesome. Oh, okay, that's fun. And sometimes he pretends to play himself, but obviously nothing happens. And this is for your wedding. It's kind of his like Bobby McFair.

Well, we have the option to have him for the wedding. Okay. But all the entrances and exits to rooms are just like these, like sanded out, hollowed out, you know, holes. It's a little hobbity, too, now that I think about it. Okay. I see why that's appealing. Yeah. And it's lit by lanterns.

That's nice and cozy. Yeah. But all the problem with it is the rooms are all very small. Oh. So we wouldn't be able to have everybody in the same room? Kind of. While you're getting married? Yeah.

I don't know. Well, hopefully they're not sitting. There's also very little oxygen down there. No, you can only be down there for 30 minutes. With a group this size. Because we are inviting, we are inviting 350 people. Oh, wow. That sounds like capacity.

A lot of her side of the family. Okay. Of course. A lot of cousins. I know. And, yeah. And then the third place is the old casino. Oh.

Yeah. Oh, okay. Which has been abandoned. Yes. Many years ago. Yes. And it is boarded up. What made you choose this one?

Now, this one, this one, it stumps me. Is that the casino boat? No. It's not the river boat. The one that's just sitting on a dry riverbed now. Because the noise of the dragging up and down the riverbed would just be Keep it moving for to be legal. Yeah.

Put everybody's teeth on edge. But no, this is the old abandoned casino. This was dignity try your lux. And which was all one word. And it's been born up. He had a mascot too. It was this crazy woodpecker with a patch on. Yes.

He had a patch over one eye. And he was also wearing a barrel, which indicated he was broke. He lost all his money. Yes. Which I think is a terrible mascot. And he had teeth, you know, but one toothed.

You know? He had teeth but one tooth missing. Because he pulled out his gold tooth to gamble. He did. Yes. He'd met it all. That was his last ship. There was a lot of lore about him.

There really was. He came here to make his fortune in holes in wood. What was he? He used to be quite successful. He lost everything. Yeah, yeah. He was an immigrant. He came here from.

Pedro Pecker. Pedro Pecker. Yeah. came from Mexico where he was a surgeon and a woodpecker and he came here and he was briefly a cab driver and a woodpecker

and then he said But whatever he was, he was always a woodpecker as well He was always a woodpecker Never stop being a woodpecker. No, well you never stop being a person And he said there's got to be an easier way to make money How about gambling? Mm-hmm.

And then he didn't know human gambling. He only knew bird gambling. Yeah, like you do like a slot machine and just like seed seed, like bird seed would come out. And people are like, what do I do with this? Do I trade this in for cash? No. No.

That's what you win. Anyway, it's free because it's abandoned. So we're thinking. But there is, there was like an animatronic pedropecker. And that's why people don't like walking past it because like teenagers try to like dare each other to like go in. Because every once in a while it'll come to life, you know, and do like the, the classic thing where he was like, uh. Jackpot. Yeah.

Jackpot. Save by Terrifying. The classic tooth. Save my tooth? Save my tooth. Save my tooth. They say that the tooth's still in there somewhere.

Well, that, well, no, he wasn't real, though. That's not that scary. I'm not scared about a tooth. Who would go looking for it? He wasn't real. You don't know that. So why? Doug, you got me there.

Because it's free. We figure it's been abandoned for such a long time. You don't have to rent it out. You don't have to literally. Yeah, that makes sense. Just like a little look of paint. You know what I mean? All right.

Just sweep it up a little bit, you know, clear out the cobwebs. Okay, well, I will look forward to the invitations. Now, is Tertrnt invited? And why is there news about him and what's going on? Tert is invited. He will not be my best man. I did offer that to him. Well, let me go out.

Okay. So we finally met for dinner. And drinks. This is a big deal. We did have some drinks. We did not realize it was a, murder mystery dinner theater. Oh, no.

And so we, you know, we're trying to have this hard, hard talk. We keep being dragged into the case. Oh, it's terrible. We're trying to give every indication that we're talking about something serious. But it's hard to do it because they figure,

well, if you're here, you must be into this. And maybe they thought that was your backster. You guys added something that you were like. They 100% thought that. Yes. What are you two scheming about? Oh, no.

And you're like, we're having a family moment. This is a big deal. This is groundbreaking. Yeah, one point we were both suspects. And I was like, how does that work? I thought this was all worked out in advance. Okay. So I, you know, we, you know, it was a very strange thing to,

well, I can imagine. To connect with this. Does he look like you? He looks, I'll show you a picture. No, a picture of him. That's a picture of you. That's a picture of you. That's so you know what I look like.

Okay. That's good reference point. All right. Now here's a picture of him. But that looks like a picture of you. That's right. Oh my gosh. He's my exact twin brother.

Like exact. Yeah. You even have the same moles. Yes. That is white. Everywhere. You have mail. I'm sorry.

What? Oh, wow. I just saw the picture. That's amazing. You still on AOL? You've got it on AOL. I have so many AOL CDs. You wouldn't believe.

I have a great deal. A great deal. A great deal. Okay. Well, so we got very emotional, you know, especially when we were up on stage and we were having to fight for our lives and improve our whereabouts. This is a murder mystery team we have in town and they go past the murder mystery. Like they actually arrest you. You actually spend a night in jail.

Oh, yeah, there's a trial. Yeah, absolutely. It goes on for a long time. It's like a year commitment. We're actually due back for, we got a mistrial. Oh, okay. Yeah, we actually have to go back. Well, what a journey for you too.

Because they found new evidence. I don't know. Yeah. So, yeah, so we really, we were first, you know, I think kind of wary of each other. And then we got on quite well. And I feel, you know, it's new to both of us having a brother. And it was a very emotional and exciting and positive interaction. I asked him if he would be the best man at my wedding

And he said, I haven't earned the right to do that. Oh. We've only just gotten to know each other. Let me, do me the favor of letting me watch you get married. Oh. What, that gives you pause? I think watch you get married was just a weird phrase to me. Just jumped out.

Let me watch you get married. It was just out of context. Well, he didn't say it like that. Okay. You made it sound very sinister indeed. I'm sorry. Let me watch you get married. Would you like to play a game?

That's how it would sound in the casino. And I said, I understand and I appreciate that. And so. So he's going to be there. Doug, if you can hear me? Oh, this is exciting. Doug, can you hear him? Yeah.

I know. Why wouldn't I be able to hear him? Would you do me the honor of getting in touch with Tonil to be my best man? What is that? Tony is a great guy. I thought you were going to ask Don't to be the best man. Oh, that's a good point. Oh, wow.

Someone's got to look out for you, babe. I didn't even think about that. He's just too agreeable sometimes. He didn't catch that. Tony is a handsome guy. I'm so sorry, Doug. I'm only met Tonya. Best man has nothing to do without you.

Look. It shouldn't. It's who you spend your most time with. I've only met Tonyail twice. I can't believe that I. He's not very handsome. Very surprising. I think he's great.

Forgive me, Doug. Of course, I would love. it if you would be my best man. What do you say, babe? Do you mean it? Because you just offered that to Tony. I do mean it. It was a good turnaround.

He did already say yes. I was thinking. What? Well, you asked me to ask him. I asked you to get in touch with him for me. Oh, no. Right. Yeah, exactly.

And I did that. But he said, yes. Just now? Like just now in the last second. Yeah, right after you asked me. But I didn't ask you to ask him. You aoled him. I awel him as fast.

Did you AIM? Yes. We're on AIM. And I sent it all in like little text. I didn't hear the little door open. I've silenced it. Oh, okay. It scares me every time.

Smart. Well, this is. It didn't have to sound so creepy. We're going to have to figure this out. I think we've been talking for long enough. Wait, but we need to get to our guest. Now there's a, we're in a pickle. We sure are.

Maybe we'll figure it out by the end. I sure hope we do. Sure. I have a solution. And we'll reveal it at the end. How long have we been working? Also, I would like to work out by the. by the end the syllables to

time to say goodbye. If it applies to the song, we don't know. This is like an opera song, right? You know this song. I thought I was thinking of the Madonna song. The show is over. Say goodbye.

I don't know that song either. I don't know any of these say goodbye songs. I know you say goodbye. I know that song. That's a lovely song. That was a song from a, what is it? The League of Their Own. Oh, really?

Yes. It played during the credits. I'm blessed. locked that song out of my mind. I've heard it many times. I've seen the movie a few times. That song will not penetrate. Oh. Oh. Okay. This is

giving me a seizure. Yeah. Oh, that's way longer than I remember. And you're going to be whistling this? That's what you thought you did? Yeah. That we should have recognized instantly. That's a hard melody to grab out of thin air. Yeah. I think you were doing the scales.

is what it sounds like. It's a beautiful song in itself. Oh, here he goes. Absolutely. Oh, it's that one. And then Carmella loved it and made her think of Furio. Yes, exactly. How long have we been recording?

30 minutes. Whoa. Well, that's a final episode, everybody. That's a final episode. Seven minutes over. Super sized. Yeah. Final episode.

To ask a woman in feminine overdrive to recall something from just foggy memory is an act of violence. Foggy memory. It's an act of violence. said what I said. You know, I have a friend who grew up Catholic. I've spoken of him before in medium Italy. And there's parts of the mass that are still in his head and will never leave. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, what's weird is I can't talk about this, but I can still spell anti-dis establishmentarianism because I memorized it as a kid. Yeah. A-N-T-I-D-I-S-D-S-E-B-L-L-H-M-E-N-H-M-T-A-R-N-A-I-I-S-M.

Wow. You have to say it at the end or it doesn't count. And I can't come up with this intro. for the second section. It's terrifying. Ladies, you know what I'm talking about. There's some people who are throwing their shoe at the phone. Man, take a breather. What?

Nikita Cruzchev? Oh, remember the shoe guy that threw the shoes at Bush? Yes, we talked about this before. We have. You said he was actually kind of invigorated by it. He said he looked like he was like, throw the other one. Yeah, he was having so much fun. He was having fun.

George Thruppery. It woke out of his referee. It woke about it. Yeah. He was like, oh, this is fun. This is what I thought it was. I'm going to read this post now. Did I finish?

Did I finish? Did I finish? This is a post from the neighbor app, the social networking application for neighborhood. Oh, you're going to come over the top and do it to be like, this is how it's really done. I'm just sweeping up. That's all I'm doing. Oh, my God. If you drop the mic after this, I would be very angry.

I would never do that. If you would see a... Oh, oh, oh, oh! That was me dropping the mic. Really? Can we? I'm sorry, I watched the Kevin Hart roast and I'm really worked up from it. It was wild watching that Kevin Hart roast because it's like, oh, they don't always wear the hoods. Sometimes they have a meeting and nobody wears the hoods.

This is going out to everyone. Okay, I guess. Do they know? Are they aware? Do they know this? They act like they don't know. Oh, boy. All right.

We had this post. I'm going to read it. We're going to bring on our guest. Here we go. This comes to us. Now, I can't say. you would have to say who this post came to because I believe it came to you first,

but we'll credit the person who sent us the post maybe in the third section if we can find it. Oh, this was one I found myself. Oh, you found this one. This post comes to us from Burnt Me a P-Day. Thanks, burnt. Fun to hear my name on a podcast. This is from Edna C.

And Edna says, My older brother is a big fan of Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe. Where can I get memorabilia from both of them, from both of them, from? something cheap. He's in Guatemala and his 83 birthday is on June. Wow.

He's on June. His 83 birthday is on June. And here to talk about this post is Edna. Welcome, Edna. Oh, hi. Oh, sorry. I wasn't close enough. Now I am close enough.

Scooch on in, be a part of the Kitchen Island. Oh, my scoosies. Older scooch. My scoches. Oh, you're adorable, Edna. Oh, thank you. So are you. How tall are you?

I'm seven foot nine. Wow. I'm a large woman. This is the first time a guest has touched the top of the canopy on my kitchen chair. Oh, it feels nice up here. Oh, your canopy is lovely. Thank you. Very warm.

Oh, thank you. You have a warm key in your pee. A warm one? Canopy. Oh, I don't like the sound of that. What? Warm canopy. Oh, boy.

Excuse my husband. You cannot see. Where is here? He's a dark. You're on. We have an elderly giant on the show. I am a woman who lives her almost in the clouds. Are you okay being called a giant?

We don't want to address you in a derogatory. I've been called so much. Do you prefer giantess? Oh, sure. What have you been called? Giantina. When I was a child, they would call me a Giant Tina. Oh, what else did they call you?

A little monster. Oh, no. Oh, how? Why would they call you a little monster? Because I was taller and all the other. kids but shorter than the adult. Oh, I see. That awkward time.

Awkward time. We all went through it. And is this something that runs through your family? Or are you the first big person of your... We're all very tall people. All very tall. How tall is your brother? Did we get his name?

I don't think we got his name. What's your brother's name? Loomis. Who? Loomis. And he's going to be 83. Loomis. He's my older brother.

That's sweet. How tall is he? Oh, he is eight foot one. Wow. Who's the tallest in the family? Oh, my grandfather was very tall. How? He was very tired and tall.

He was so tired from being tall. Oh, that makes sense. It's exhausting to have to look down. Oh, absolutely. You have to always look down at people. Oh, you do. And her neck? Sure.

How tall was your grandfather? Ten foot. Ten foot even. Wow. Goodness gracious. Was he really just 9-11, but he said 10? That was the rumor. Our family ate a lot of beans, and I think,

that was why we grew so tall. Oh, I see. Did you know that was the truth about beans? I mean, I thought it was just a fairy tale. No, that's jacking the bean start. The real truth is if you eat your beans, you're going to go down. So it's not necessarily three magic beans, but if you just consume as many beans as possible, you will get tall. Any kind of bean?

Any kind of bean. Any bean will do. Any bean will do. Jelly. With a dessert. That was a real curval. For dessert. For dessert.

Sure. We would have jelly bean shakes. Oh, that sounds yummy. Is there any sweet more satisfying than the jelly bean? That's what Reagan said. Remember? He loved them. And he was one of our best.

Oh, okay. Well, let's move on. Now, it says your birthday, his birthday is on June. Now, what do you mean by that? It just landed on June, but I don't know the exact date. You don't? Our parents never gave us the exact date. You're kidding.

You don't have any birth certificates. you can go look up or check. If there are, I don't know where they are. Now, how big a family are we talking here? You have you, your brother. That's it. Oh, okay. And sorry, his name is again.

Loomis. That's right, Loomis. Right. And are you native to Dignity Falls? Do you grow up here? We did. We did. We did.

Oh. Our parents, our parents are very interesting people. Oh, I bet. They were entertainers. They were entertainter. Entertenters. And what does that entail? Probably exactly what you think.

Well, they were acrobats, and they had a lot. They were singing acrobats. Amazing. Yes. What was their name? Did they have like a duo name? Oh, sure. The Cartwrightians.

Oh, the Cartwrightians. That's my last name. Oh, Edna C. Cartwright. Oh, the Cartwrightian. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's fun.

It already sounds like cartwheel, sort of. Yes. Nope. Nope. they were tall as well. Edna moved her neck. When Edna moves her long neck, it's like the mystics in the dark crystal

if you remember that movie. I don't. It's like a long... I saw it and I don't remember anything about it. Well, you've got a gorgeous long neck. Gorgeous. Very Catherine Heprenie. Did Catherine Hepburn have a long neck?

Why not? Didn't she? Don't you think of her with a long neck? Very like... I guess I do. That makes sense. Very long neck. Very elegant.

Slim line. Is you going to be famous for having a long neck? I'm trying to do it a long neck. Ballet people? Ballet people, maybe. Jeffrey the giraffe. Oh, absolutely. Of course.

Oh, yeah. So they performed, did they travel with this? How tall was your father? How tall was your mother? My father. He was 10. He was 10 feet. No, that's the grandfather.

Oh, sorry, Burnt, good catch. My father was 8 foot 2. Okay. My grandmother. No, sorry. My mother, she was short because she's not part of the, you know. Right. She married into this tall family.

She was like five foot six. Oh, how does that work? Well, she complained and heard her. Oh, I'm sure. Were they even in the same room? They were constantly having sex. Oh, constant. That's not what I thought the answer was going to be.

You just asked about being in the same room. Oh, I meant. Nothing about sex. That's what I meant. I see. That is what I meant. Oh, it is? Oh, well, that's not where my brain went right away. Because you said how did that work, and I thought you were talking about sexual intercourse.

Oh, my God. No, I meant. How did the acrobatics? That's what I thought she meant. How did the acrobatics work? Oh, that. That was my next question. Oh, yeah.

Look, it was very... Get the important one out of the way first. You know what was interesting about the tall and the shortness of them all, is in their act. She would just slide all over his body acrobatically. Slide all over his body acrobatically. Sure. Climbing. all over. Wow. Okay. And did they travel? Or was this just at Digny Falls? No, they had to travel. They were rarely home. We were raised by my

grandparents most. Oh, so you didn't go with them? No. Oh, that's kind of sad. So you were raised by your grandparents. Okay. But we learned to take care of ourselves. Well, that's good. It was a different era. It was a different era. Was your grandmother small as well? Yes. My grandmother was teeny. How tall was she? She was about two foot. No, six. And married a 10-foot man. What a spectrum.

Two foot six. I'm not going to ask how that worked. She grew up in an era, a time period that was. I can't wait to see how this is related. Post-Civil War. Well, that explains. Pretty Spanish flu. Somewhere in the time period.

My grandmother. Is there a time period name for that specific? Reconstruction. The reconstruction. Thank you. They didn't have war. She was in a reconstruction at child. So the reconstruction into the naughty 90s.

Oh, the naughty 90s. And then on the eve of the Great War. Isn't it interested in the 90s and then they had a time period and they got crazy again in the 20s? They sure did. They did. They did. Remember when that last virus, that COVID thing was going around, they were like, oh, the roaring 20s are going to happen. Oh, yeah, that was a fun thing to say.

More than halfway through was happening. Now, let me ask you this, Edna. Seems like it's less than roaring. I'm not drinking in a bathtub. Nope. Are we getting into a phone booth with a lot of people? Didn't they do that? Swallowing goldfish.

Driving recklessly in a cool, old vintage car with the top down. That's right. You got your raccoon coat and your pennant for your college. Champagne fountains. And those dances. And chocolate dreams. Characons. Charleston.

Charleston shoes? Oh, boy. Not Charleston shoes, but the Charleston dance. So wait, let's get to your brother now because this is what your post is about. Okay, Lumis. Why does he live in Guatemala? Well, what happened was somewhere around the 1950s, my brother became convinced that the McCarthy era,

they were coming after him with the House of American House. Why? Why were they targeting it? Because of his tallness that he thought he had some, he got involved with some communists. And so they started getting... Did you elaborate on that? Probably not so much the tallness

and probably because of the involvement with the communists. Well, they were tall communists. Okay. It's an easy to spot. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, when we were, when you were, I guess that was high school time. I'm doing my math in my head.

Sure. School time, he got involved with a group of kids on his age. And they've gotten to, oh, you okay there? I just saw you hit yourself in the head, darling. Joan, are you having one of those episodes? It's been such a long time. Listen, I got cold and I wanted to put my slanket on. And I went to take off my headphones, but I forgot I was wearing, I'm also wearing a winter cap

because I just have to be the person now who prepares for whatever temperature the house is because everybody else complains. So I try to be quiet about it. You don't have to carry around that little stub of candle in the holder. I do, though. I do. I mean, the lights are fine. It's helpful.

It's helpful. Okay, all right. I don't want to impugn your method. Okay, thank you. So, okay, so he's worried that he's going to be like a part of the McCarthy team. He's going to be blacklisted. Blacklisted. And what did he do at the time?

What was his... Great question, Joe. Thank you. He was in high school. Oh, okay. He was graduating. Wow, I don't remember them prosecuting high school age kids. Did they target any kids?

I think he was worried that they were next. Oh, okay. First they come from Hollywood. And I didn't say anything. That's right. That's right. Then they come for high schoolers and no one's here to speak for me. Remember that phrase? I do.

I do. He said it a lot around Daly Falls. Oh, yeah. So then did he end up actually, okay, I'll let you just go on. You know, he just one day disappeared. He's like, I'm out of here. He left me a note on my bed on my pillow while I was sleeping. I woke up next to a.

You know, you looked. You looked. What did I do? She looked over with her long neck as if the pillow was right there. As if you could see the pillow. Yes. The memory is so vivid. It's something I never will be scared.

Oh, this makes me sort of sad. Oh, no, it's okay. It's been a long time. Everyone's all right. Oh, okay. I think. All right. Well, let's find out.

Well, so, okay, so what did the notes say? Said my darling sister, Edna. What happened? There's a bird behind me. There's a crow that came right up to the window. I think that she thinks Edd, it thinks Edna's a tree. Does that happen a lot? Do birds land on you a lot?

It's a problem. Oh, gosh, I bet. That's why I forgot to tell you what I do for a living. Oh, you did. I forgot to ask you. I make bells and I put them on birds. Wait. So I know they're coming.

That's your job? I'm a little bird bell maker. You're a little bird bell maker. Who else takes advantage of this besides you? You never know. Anybody's tall. But you're a little bird maker, the little bird bell. ringmaker.

Do the crows pay you for that? Do the crows pay? Because they bring little gifts. Yeah, who's actually giving you revenue for this? Oh, this is a great question. I just get money sent to me in the mail. I don't know who the... You don't question it.

What does the return address say? A mysterious benefactor? Please make this bell. I have a bird problem. That's what the return address is. Was that what your question? Yeah. So you make the bell and then how do you know who gets it?

We've got to go back and find out where this envelope's coming from. Is it always the same place? They have no return address. Did you know you can send a letter that way? You'll get there. I didn't. Oh, is that a myth? Oh, all the waste of putting on my address.

I thought you had to. No, you don't. You know what you need to do right after this? Send a letter. Okay. Do not put a return address. Send it to each other. Oh, it's scary.

You'll see what gets there. Don't be scared. Okay. I'm so scared. Anyway, what happens is I get these letters in the mail. It started when I was young. Please made a baby. When you were young.

When you were young. How young? Oh, I'm going to say 20s because to me that's good. That's what I was. I bet that would seem young because you're how old? I'm 82. Oh, okay. Just right below Loomis.

My brother's turning 83. Oh, no, you're the same age. I'm, I'm, can I? Okay, so what happened was my brother was born. Oh, my God. Look at her neck is just like rippling up and down. My brother is older than me, as I said in my. I should hope so.

Sure. Mine too, by the way. But I'm 82. But we're four months apart. Okay. You and Loomis are four months apart. Right. Wow, that's a quick turnaround for that little woman. They were always having sex.

Irish giant twins. It's very much. My mother, not my mother was pregnant. The neck went all the way down. Literally it disappeared. It's very tea. Yes, it's very easy. Turtle like a turtle.

Like a turtle. Yes. That's what I am. Touch for the very. That's not what you are, really. You're just like a turtle. Like a turtle. Hey!

Touch for the very first time. Now that's a Madonna song you can get behind. That one I can endorse. It feels like a weird old Yankevin' song. It does, doesn't it? One that he gave up off. Like a turtle. He only got one verse and chorus in.

He's like, no, forget it. Because he did like a surgeon. That's right. And then maybe the plan was to do a bunch of like a version parody. It's just like a like a. Yeah. Like a core of a head. Yeah.

And he's like, you know what? Why would I do this? Yeah. His standard was too high. Yeah. Eat it. We had a fun one though on the Digny Falls radio that would just play public. You know, it was about to like, you know, safety of driving. And it was like, you be merging.

It was like that. It was really cute. That's right. You be merging. Oh. Lovely. So anyways. Oh, my mother was pregnant with.

my brother Loomish, and they were still having, you know, you could still have sex when you're pregnant. There's no law. You can. You don't know that you should. And obviously we know

whose idea that always is. Well, what happened is my mother got pregnant while she was pregnant. Wow. Wow. So you guys were in there together. Yeah, different.

In the same, you had different chambers. Different chambers. Same womb. Yeah. Can't lose. Parker Lewis. I think that happened

once with another guest. one time. Yeah. I love that Parker Lewis can't lose. Sure. It's a favorite up there. So you guys. Along with Zoe Duncan, Jack and Jane.

Corinnemic? Was that? Corrinemic. What's that? Oh. Yes. What's that? Cornyn Nemic.

Ferris Bueller ripoff. I get very offended when I don't know a pop culture reference. I get offended. You did seem angry. I was angry. Yeah, I was angry. Yeah.

I was angry. Hey, babe, do you like Parker Lewis Can't Lose? Loved it. What was your favorite episode? Yeah, that's what I was going to ask. Let's all say our favorite Parker Lewis can't lose episode. That one where he almost loses. Oh, yeah.

And then just pulls out of it. He can't. Yeah. He simply can't. Yeah. He actually tried to lose and he can't. I haven't seen it, so I can't contribute. I never saw it.

That's why I got so offended. I think a lot of Parker's are named after him. Oh, for sure. That wasn't a big name before that. A lot of Lewis's, too. I would say. Ray Parker Jr. probably. Now Parker is such a common name.

Yeah. Ray Parker Jr. was definitely named after an 80s television show. Yeah. Yeah. Because how old was he when he's saying Ghostbusters? Oh gosh. That's 11, 12? Something I do not. 1112.

Yeah. He was, he had a, he liked Judy Garland. Where he had, you know, like when she sang as a child, it was like, that's a 40-year-old. You don't know it's a child. That is true. That's what Pills were. Oh, very good, Edna.

Thank you. That was amazing. I'm a talented fan. That's my favorite part of Ghostbuck. Who are you going to call? It's the best line. It sure is. It sure is.

It's most memorable. Remember the video for it? I don't. I don't. I don't. I do not and don't talk about it. Joan. What?

It's very offensive. It had a lot of random celebrities in it. Terry Garter was in it. John Candy. Probably dead. I think John Goodman. Wow. Dan Aykroyd, I think Bill Murray was like, you get me for five seconds.

That's it. I don't believe. I have to go watch that. So you and Loomis were very close, obviously, truly and literally. Yeah. And so how did you, did you continue close throughout your childhood until he left? Did we continue close throughout our- Did you have a good childhood like together and siblings before he left?

Because our parents weren't here. That's right. That's right. And the grandparents, they didn't really take care of you? I mean, you were in their care, but... Yeah, they wouldn't speak to us. Oh, that's so sad. Really?

Just from another era where they say, we speak, you don't remember, you remember, I don't know, you're young, but like... Don't speak unless spoken to. Don't talk to children because they're not worth it, which basically what, you know, they'll figure it out on their own. I had a friend, my same friend had a grandmother like that.

Yeah? Who, when they would go over, he and his siblings would go over her house, there was like this great tree in the yard that they were not allowed to play on. and she had no toys or games in the home and they were made to do chores they were constantly reminded that they were not doing enough

to help their mother home and the only TV that they ever got to watch was Lawrence Welk. Oh, that is tough. My grandparents said with some people sing us little songs they'd make up. Oh, really? They write songs and every night

they would sing us a little divinity. Where does Mike exactly? Wait, is she all over the day? It's not about where her mic is. It's about where her neck is because it unjolates and it's like a pendulum. Went down. Yeah, it went down. That might be easiest, but I don't want you to be uncomfortable, Edna.

I'm always uncomfortable. Oh, dear. Oh, it's okay. It's a tall person thing. It's okay. My head's in the can. Oh, don't do it. Okay, so did you tell us what the letter said?

Oh, I've forgotten what? What the letter said from Loomis? Did you tell us? I can't remember either. No, he started it. My dearest. I have to leave. The red scare is scaring me.

I will be in another country but to be told to you later. Please keep this between us. Love your brother, Loomis. P.S. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't be anything that you don't want to be. Don't let anyone tell you that you. You can't be anything that you don't want to be. Right.

Okay. What is that advice? What is that advice? Yeah. What is he cautioning you against or advising you to do? It's like if you don't want to be, you know, like a chef, no one's going to tell you. Yeah. You can't not be a chef.

There's a lot of double negatives going on. Yeah. That could be a plaque. I took it. I took it as positive. Okay. That's good. I took it.

Did it affect how your life continued on? Absolutely. Okay. Because the minute, the second and the minute I finished that. The hour? Yeah. And possibly definitely the hour. And now I'm going to say, what if you pointed the microphone at the mouth?

You know what the problem is I can't my, the wires are all over my chest. You are somehow tangled up in those wires. A lot of wires. I don't know how this happened. Oh, dear. I'm sorry. Have you heard of word I said? We wrap her.

They wrapped her neck. We heard it. Okay. I'm worried about myself. Okay. You were sort of doing the mic side sounds. Sort of like in the 90s movies. Remember when they would have gangs and they would have guns and they would turn them sideways?

Oh, yeah. Totally ineffective. Who's going to shoot that way? No one. No one. Just in the movies. Oh, okay. That's a little too close.

No. Oh, dear, I can't get it right. It's okay. Okay. Okay. Now, the second, the moment, the second. The second I finished that letter, I looked over. And what did I see by the side of my bed?

But a little bell. Oh, what? A little bell. A little bell. Left by him? Yes. Okay. All right.

And I took that as a sign. I'm going to make little bells, which I did for birds. So we're saying for Hollywood movies. You know, yes. In the 70s and 80s, I worked on a lot of different movies. You know there's how many bell sounds there are in movies? I've never thought about it before. All I can think of is it's a wonderful life.

You know, that's the only bell I can tell. One of the most famous bell movies. I think it's a famous bell movies. Peeway's bike. Name a movie in the 70s and 80s. Huntsback of Notre Dame. Oh, I did. Ordinary people.

Yes. Are you kidding me? He's running around after he friends out of his friend off herself. There's a bail ringing, bail ringing. Really? I'm going to have to go back and watch that. Watched. Did you ever see Agnes of God?

Sure. Filled with bells. You have not seen. No, I haven't. Don't talk about it. Sure. You don't talk about the baby. That's Agnes of God.

Does anybody remember the plot? She has a baby. The nun has a baby. She has a baby. Oh, dear. What is that? It's in quotes. Oh, he quotes.

But you were using your whole hand through the quotes and it looked like a claw. That's the problem with being large. Sure. I have large hands. Yeah. So a little. gesture to a normal person which seemed like an absolute threat.

Oh yes. Absolutely. It's very pan's labyrinth. Oh, yeah. Bell's in that movie too. That I believe. I didn't work on that film. Cannonball run?

There were so many bells in Cannonball Run? Yes, there were. Can you tell us? They were all in Dom DeLuiz's pocket. Every time he gets slapped? That was in his contract. He thought it was funny. Well, I mean, he's not wrong.

He was a funny guy. Oh, so funny. Can you tell us some of the movies you did work on? You're listing ones that have, are those ones you worked on? I worked on basic. You name a movie I'll tell you if I worked on. Chinatown. Absolutely.

Do you know how many bells are in Chinatown? No. Every time he's, the original cut, every time he slapped her face, there was a bell supposed to ring. Really? Yeah. What was that sign of her earrings? Oh, her head is like, oh, like that. Was there a bell under the bandage on his nose?

Was that part of it? What? Oh, you mean under his cut nose? Yes. Sure. Because his character had, once his nose got cut, you know, sometimes your sinuses and you make a little bell. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Yes.

It's annoying when that happens. I hate it. I hate it when I go to a movie. I'm seeing next to someone who's a bell in their nose. I hate that. It's so common. I'm like, what's wrong? It's like you shouldn't be allowed to go to the movies that day.

No, you should stay home, Chinatown. Stay home, Chinatown. That's what I call them. So now here's my question. So we're talking about movies. We're talking about Hollywood. Did this have anything to do with... Yes.

Does this have anything to do with Loomis' love for Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe? Can you tell us to that? Okay. How did that happen? Well, we now know he went to Guatemala. Yes. When did you find that out? When was it revealed to you?

Because he said it was revealed later. He sends me a telegram. He's always moving around. A telegram. Wow. I don't know they did that anymore. Well, you know, he doesn't, he's still stuck in that time period. Okay.

But he is except for you, I think. Well, I'm alive. I move on. I stay present. Well, they are, he's alive too, though, no? He's alive, but he's out of touch. Stuck in the past. Sometimes he's living in the jungle there.

Oh. Sometimes he's doing there. What does he do for living? It's a mystery. Oh, what can it be? After all this time. He doesn't want the McCarthy people coming. Well, wait, where, where, he still thinks that he's in trouble for that.

Yes. Have you told them that's not a thing anymore? They're all dead. Yeah. He doesn't believe it. He doesn't believe it. How do you communicate with him? Just send him a telegram back?

He sends me a telegram. Okay. Where he is, where his whereabouts are. And then I send a birthday present to him. And that's all I ever hear from him. So can you give us an example of a telegram? And a birthday. An example of a telegram?

From him. Like what would it say? How short is it? How long is it? How long is it? Oh, well, it goes, Edna. I'm sure. In the jungles, dot, dot, dot, dot, please drop off present dot, dot, dot, dot, to this address.

Dot, dot, dot, dot. Stop. No, not yet. No, stop. Hope you're well. Dot, dot, dot, dot. Stop. Oh.

Love Loomish. Is it a stop that sounds that angry? Oh, it's very angry. I can tell. It's capitalized. It has five exclamation points. Well, that seems aggressive. That seems like that's not just the normal function of the telegram, but someone trying

to tell you to stop. and actually stop. No, because usually, why weren't there, why wasn't there periods in telegrams? I don't know. Why would they have to say stop? I'd have no idea. And why were all the dot, dot, dot, dots?

Why wasn't he giving you full sentence? Or why wasn't he giving you a more elaboration? In the jungle? What is that supposed to mean? He's just living in a volcano? Why? Where the lion sleeps tonight? He never said it was a mighty jungle.

I, I, I don't understand yet. What's confusing you? Well, a lot is confusing me. Sorry. I had a little bit to drink before I think. Oh, you did? Well, I imagine that you have to drink a lot to even feel it. It's just hitting me right now.

Andre the Giant famously drank like 80 beers before we would even feel it. Oh, sure. Yeah, so you must even need more. How much have you had to drink today? I had a few kegs. Oh! Of what? Just beer, darling.

Okay, just beer, darling. Beer darling. What's your favorite beer? What's your regular your go-to? What's your brand? Who's housing? That's a good beer.

Do you like that? I love Who's housing. Not like people don't know it. It's extremely sour. Oh, it is? That's what I like about it. Yeah. I like it.

Got a real kick. I love a beer with a kick. Your lips go inverted. Oh, yeah. It will like a cartoon cat. Yeah. Sometimes your nose can almost start sucking in your face. Oh, it'll, any opening that you have will pucker.

Thank you. Wow. Your eyelids. It's terrible. You get puckered. You get real puckered. That's the slogan. Puckard Carlson.

We're getting puckered tonight. Pucker Carlson. Pucker Carlson, that commercial was a little. Too much. No. They asked me to do some bells for that commercial. I said no. Wow.

I said no. Are there other things you've turned down? Oh, yeah. Does they have approached you to make pills for? Yes. Like what? Oh, they one time they made me, they asked me to do terms of endearment. Oh, no.

to put bells in that movie. Yeah, that doesn't seem necessary. From the, what they wanted originally to them, I spoil alert. Oh. From the moment you find out Debra Winger gets the cancer. Right. They wanted bells ringing to the end of the movie.

Oh, that's just, that's distracting. Oh, and a gong. Does that count? That cat is a bell. Ging, gung, gong. Oh. Well, you put it that way. Ding, ding.

I remember leaving that movie and thinking, I didn't hear a single bell. I never thought that. That's because of me. Oh, well, we have you to thank for that. You're welcome. Thank you. It's not a bell movie.

It's not a bell movie. All right. So we got to, we're, okay. I know. We're, Marilyn Monroe. Yeah, let's get into it. So, and my brother, when we were young, this is who he loved.

Merrill Monroe. This was the 50th. Sure. And do you grow up watching, you'd like watch stuff on how, you had movies that they were in? Yes. Okay. And also Elvis sang songs. Well, I know that.

to his songs too. He loved Marilyn Monroe. He loved so much. He loved so much. He just loved. What an era for women. Oh, sure. For women.

They were either, we had to be just so brainless or just wear a lot of pearls. That's the only choice. We pour those actresses when they're like, what's this part? Is it the brainless woman or the woman who wears pearls? Oh, dear. Or Betty Davis. took strong women. She took all the strong women. That's right. There's no

no parts left over. That's right. Shosh. Shosh. Yeah. Shosh. So would you say that those two like kind of was, he I put bells in that movie too. Do you do you? I had bills and Shox. A lot of redemption

that was. That was the original title. Shoshak. What a redemption. Yeah. It was a great title. I thought they should have kept it. I think so too. Shawshank. Dot, dot, dot, dot. Water redemption. It's true. It's true.

I thought they got lazy with the title they picked. A little bit. They were doing it telegram style. Yes, exactly. Stop. Shawshank dot dot dot dot, dot. What a redemption. Stop.

So did you just decide? Yes. What? What? When you have given him presents before, what have you sent? Oh, I have sent. Okay, this is it. I always think.

something that is Elvis and or you always send something. Always. Can you give us an example of what you sent him before having to do with him? Oh, I sent him. I sent a lay that was in the Elv. I found that memory.

Absolutely. It was actually in the movie. I was going to say, when you say memorabilia, are you getting the actual? I have Hollywood connection. Because it says if you, can you, it says, it says, okay. He's a big fan of Elvis.

Where can I get memorabilia from both of them? From both, from both of them. I'm trying to find new memorabilia. What I'm actually... And something cheap. Well, it depends. Yeah, what's that all about? Because I thought you made a lot of money from making the birdbells.

Right. But you know what? I don't, I'm still, my parents, they all, they grew up in a time period, the depression. And so it's always been ingrained in me. Do we just don't get, don't get too cocky. Okay. With your money. Okay.

They talked about. They were always gone, but they would always remind us whenever. they were back about the depression. Were they successful acrobatically? Did they sell a lot of tickets? Yes. You don't remember them? What were they called?

They were called the Cartwrightians. That's what they did, the Cartwrightians. If you look it up, you would, and they also sang songs too. They sang songs while they did acrobat. That seems difficult. Oh, yeah. That seems really difficult. That's very challenging.

That's why, that's the appeal. First of all, there's a five-foot height difference between them. What a stage. The staging was amazing. Oh, I bet. Yeah. What was one of the songs they would sing? Don't look down.

Here I come. Don't look down. It's time for fun. Scratch and scratch and scratch and scratch. Don't look down. What's all the scratching about? Don't look down I get. It's time for fun I get.

Scratch and scratch and scratch. I think this is, remember, you have to imagine the stage. Okay. So tall man, small woman. Yep. She's climbing up. So the scratch and the scratch and scratch. Oh, she's actually seeking her nails into him.

How is the best way to get up? Like he's soloing up her husband. Like a cat. He was screaming from pain because her nailed it very long. And this was a popular act. So popular. Oh, wow. They couldn't, they had to turn people away.

They showed out the moment they announced it. The moment they announced it. They announced it. They yelled. It's time for scratch and scratch. How would they introduce them? Oh, how would they introduce? Oh, sorry, I thought you might one day would announce that number.

No, no, their shows. Oh, got it. There's a moment their shows were announced. It was like a Metallica show. They just, are they immediately sold out? Very much like a Metallica show. Oh, Tony Orlando and Don. Remember them?

Sold out into the thing. Are they all still alive? I think. Yeah, it was Tony Orlando. He's still alive, I think. I think. Selma Hopkins? That's one of the Dawn.

And the other Dawn. In the other Dawn. In the other Dawn. I think he's alive. I hope so. I hope so. I would love to see them together. Tie a yellow ribbon.

Did you receive any comments underneath this post of anyone having any memorabilia? No, that's what you came on here because you wanted to get the word out. I'm looking for something specifically. Oh, okay, what is it? This is helpful. I pick a different Monroe movie. Okay. So I've gotten something.

I haven't gotten something from the misfits. Oh, sure. Yes, yes, yes. Unless you can't. something's got to give, which she died before it was completed. Oh, I don't count that. Wait, what? Yeah.

There's another movie called Something's Got to Give. That's where the song came from. Oh, that's right. You reminded me of that. And that was where the nude photos of her came from that they uncovered because she has a pool scene. Oh, dear. And this is like a handful of years ago.

They're like, we found these dirt. We found these nude pictures of barrel of that. I know that's exactly what I said. Whose voice was that? Who's that? That was just like the. Some dirty detective. The person who would announce that.

Yeah, he wouldn't sound any other way. He wouldn't. It's a newscaster? Yes. I don't know. We found these pictures. Oh, that's. Thanks, Jim.

Seems like it is going to be a hot one. In other news, they've had dirty. And Jim was like, yeah, good. It's my time. All right. So what are you specifically looking for? Oh, something from the misfits. Oh, I thought.

Okay. You just mean specifically that movie. There's something to represent. Does it have to be. paddle ball maybe. Is it, was there a paddle ball? Is it a famous scene where Marilyn,

I've never seen this movie by who. Okay. I've seen one clip from it. Okay. And it's Marilyn Monroe is doing the paddle ball. You know, the ball on the string on the elastic man. And she's doing it.

So, of course, she's like jiggling all around. And so these guys in this, you know, you know, whatever, like rest stop or whatever it is, they're all like oogling her. And then somebody,

maybe it's Clark Gable. Is it. He's getting very mad that this is happening. Okay. Oh, and that's it. Okay, maybe someone has access to that paddle. That was his last movie. It was his last movie, too.

Yes. You guys know a lot about older films. Well, one at least. We know a lot of info about the misfits, but we both have not seen it. Neither are I also. Wasn't there like a lasso or something? That sounds familiar. It was written by Arthur Miller.

Oh, this is that period of time when she was married to him. Jewish married to her manager. Do you think that that might trigger, do you think something from misfits might trigger your brother, though, because Arthur Miller, you know, famously wrote the crucible about the Joseph McCarthy hearings, and he was very involved in that.

Oh, yeah, would be an interesting thought process. To me, to be clear, for people don't know, he was very involved in being against it. Sorry, thank you. Yeah, no, he wasn't for that. He wasn't for the, he wasn't for. I would hope everyone knows that, but thanks for. I would hope too, but it's always best to clarify.

It's always, always, always. Yeah. Thank you for carefied. I think it might be healing for him. If you make that connection. Do you think that he would ever come back? You think anything would ever get him to come back? And do you want to go visit him?

Your first question, I hope he comes back. I dream of it every night. I hold that note every night. I know, dear. And I would love to take a trip to Guatemala. It's comforting me about it. I would love to take a trip to Guatemala. The problem is I can't take a plane because my head.

How did he get there? How did he get there? How did he get there? I think he got on a boat. A boat. A boat. You can do a board. You can do a board.

You can only do a boat. That's the sound of makes. Why don't you do that? Oh, a little bit of steam came out of her ears when she did that. That was fun. How did you do that? I got a lot of challenge. Do you remember the tin man when he's doing his head?

Yes. And then he like hits his arm against his body. And then he shows. shoots steam. Out of the funnel. Out of the funnel. Yeah. What's going on inside?

I know. What was that rig? What did that rig look like? What do you think, babe? How do you think they did that? I think dry ice. Dry ice. Then how do you get it to shoot out of the funnel?

What's the mechanism that gets the team? We're talking about if the timet were real. Yes. What happened to a body? What is the function of that? That would shoot. It's probably going to be a little gerbil on the on a wheel. No, no.

Inside of his body? Okay. No, I think he's on. Now he's got the concept. Oh, now he does. This is his explanation of the concept. Okay. No, it's understandable.

So go on, babe. You hit your arm. You're hitting your arm. You're hitting your arm. You're squeezing your armpit, basically. Tugs a little string. I think he's not understanding. No, he's still describing how it's happening.

The gerbil, but I think he's now describing how it's happening if the 10 men were real. Are you, babe? Yeah. Okay. Okay. I'm not following that. He's saying, of course, for a movie, they're not going to have a gerbil in there. But if he was real, absolutely there would be a gerbil.

This is what happens. There's a gerble around. Then he. takes the time to pull the string? Does he get off the wheel? The string is tied to the armpit tendon kind of. So he's, he's, uh, how's the gerbil helping? Just hold on.

The string pulls on the string pulls on a gerbil, uh, uh, on his back leg, pulls them off the wheel. The wheel stops spinning. And he's not getting any interruption. Whereas when I was just trying to do the introduction for the second thing, but he's talking about a gerbil on a string and we're not laughing and we're not making fun of it. I'm just noting. I'm just noticing.

I'm just noting. Joan, do you think that's necessary now? Yes. The answer is yes. Okay. Okay. Go to it.

John, you think I've gotten too much time? No, I just think you, I think when I was trying to make my way through something that was difficult, as you are now. Right. In this dribble explanation. Anyway, there's a little bit of gunpowder. There's a balloon. A balloon. A little bit of gunpowder.

You just ran through those really fast. Well, yeah, I'm trying to run through it fast. You're describing a contraption. I am describing a contraption. But what do you. But it's his body. It's his body. This is what's happening in order to just get some skin to shoot out.

Look, he's made of tin. Anything's possible. I guess so. What's the steam, except for a heart? What's the steam for? He's for. He's it for.

Yeah, what is it actually? How's that coming out of it? Oh, it's steam powered. He's a steam power. But he needs an oil can, babe. Does he, when he gets angry, does he come out of his ears? He's not oil powered.

He's just oil movable. Oil allows the joints to be lubricated. Yes. Okay. Let's also say that word. Lubrication. That was enough. I know.

My parents said that word all the time. That was when they wanted to go at it. That was the secret word. They would just look at each other. Lubrication. Oh, no. My brother, numerous and I are like, oh, no. You knew what it meant.

That was the sock on the door. That's grim. It sure is. That's how it is. So wait, you're saying the tin man is powered by steam? I think we got to let this go. Dan. When he gets mad, does it come out of his ears?

Well, I don't think he, did he, well, I guess he had ears. The actor had ears. Did he get mad? Did the Tim man? He had a human head. He was a cyborg. Oh, poor, man. It feels like a horrible fate.

Do you know, if he had tried when Michael Jackson moves, the same fate would have befell him, for sure. I wish, look, I'm against AI, but I would not mind seeing a video of the 10 man trying to do Michael Jackson. And falling down. Just, it's the steps. he can't go up the steps. It's no.

Why were there steps? Why were there steps? Why can he walk out? And it's over. It's instantly over. And for a very uncomfortably long amount of time, he's just laying in there until someone drags him off. And that guy is in no hurry.

He comes out like, God, damn it. Literal drag. I knew this was getting. The way he warned people, he's like, this is going to happen. And it happened. The way he gets back to the dance. desperately after the first stumble. You really think it's going to be fine.

You really think he's going to be fine. He's a showman. He should show must go on. Like your parents. Okay, but please, if you're listening to this and this is within your wheelhouse, I don't want it to be AI. No.

I don't think it's possible, Burns. I don't want to encourage this. Here's what it needs to be. It needs to be somebody actually dressed up like the 10 men. Yes, it does. That's a tall order. It is a tall order.

That's someone with a lot of time on their hands. That's where it would be great if we had fans instead of just listeners. Right. Right. Exactly. Because we don't know if they're willing to do that for us. And you're still here.

I am. I'm still here. Oh, you're singing the Elaine Stritz song. I love that. I love it. It's a good one. Do you have someone to take care of you right now? And who's looking after you?

I take care of myself. I'm all right. Are you sure? You're not lonely. Do you have any animals? I have so many animals. You do? I have birds.

All of them with bells on. Of course. They all have names. They have cats. I have dogs. I have a lizard. Oh, I thought you were naming the birds. No, I wasn't.

Could you? How many birds do you have? 73. Oh, no, no. You got a time? Can you name ten of them? Oh, of course. Your favorite ones?

Who are your ten top top ten? Name the top ten. Barbara? Yes. Sure. It's easy. Fly away. Great bird name. Sure, that goes well.

Winged monster. Oh. Hey. Hey. Tweet no twat. Tweet no twat. Okay. That's a mean bird.

Right. That's a bean bird. That bird, I love her. But she's earned that name. Tweet no Tweet. Wait, like you were about to say Tweet no, twat. Yes.

You changed in the middle of, you change your mind in the middle of the naming. Hey, tweet. No, twat. All right. So how many do we have? Four? That was, I believe, seven. No.

No. No. Okay. Then five. I'm counting on one hand. Let's review. Chockboard. Somewhere between four and seven.

Chalkboard. There's chalkboard is six. We're back with it. We need four more. Couch time. Couch time. Delivery. Oh, that's got to be confusing.

So confusing. Delivery. Rooftop, Agnes. Rooftop Agnes. I love her. Oh, she's a card. Okay. She is a card.

She loves her whiskey. The bird that loves her whiskey. And who's the last favorite? All right. Seven? Cheddar. Cheddar. No.

Bert, right. Cheddar. Cheddar's a sweetheart. Cheddar. Cheddar is a sweetheart. Oh, my goodness. You ever fitting down? Cheddar will too you.

What kind of bird is cheddar? Cheddar's a little, tiny little, little, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny little yellow guy. Yellow. You don't even know, like, what type of bird? Just a little yellow guy. A little tiny, tiny yellow guy. Okay. Cheddar.

What would that be a yellow bird? A tit mouse. A what? A tit mouse. Or tit bird? A tit. I don't know if there's such things. A tit bird.

A tit bird. There's really a tit bird. I realized. Let's let's some boobies. Let's tweet not twat. I think there's a bird that's just called a tit. Now there you go. That's correct.

But not tit bird, which is a bush tit. A tit and a turn. There's a bird called a tit. There's a bush tit. Bush tit. There's a yellow rumped warbler. This is where things start to devolve. Okay.

I think before we start just saying tit and bird a lot. And bush. And bush. Don't forget Bush. Don't forget Bush. Don't forget Bush. Can't get fooled again. Oak tit mouse.

Okay. Okay, good job. Thank you very much. My first suggestion and it was valid. I'm sorry we didn't validate. It is. Yeah. A titmouse?

Why would you name a bird a mouse? Anyway, bird naming is wild to me. Just to put a little ribbon on this. Okay, yeah, let's put a ribbon on this. If anybody can help me find some memorabilia from the misfit or an Elvis one that I have not found before. Which is? Oh, just something.

You have like a holy grail of any of these items? Or something Elvis-y? Oh, I would love to find, oh, maybe one of his, I don't have one of his socks. If anybody has an, he had to have had. Maybe I guess he had to have had socks. Yeah. You just want one. One second.

I go to head with my sock. It's my sock in his arm of my foot. Blue sweatsh shoes. Yeah. I win a shocking from his blue suede shoe. It's weird to describe, but she had like the same hip gerations, but it happened in her neck. It was amazing. It was marvelous.

My neck, my, I, you look. You don't have a tall neck and not be able to move it. They won't show that on Sullivan. Well, I really hope that someone hears this, Edna. And I hope that your brother has a wonderful 83 birthday. Yes, thank you. And I can't wait to find out where he is when I get the telegram. I hope that you get to find out sometime because you're lovely.

I'm glad you're kept busy with your birds. Thank you. You're just a tall doll. Oh, a tall doll. You love having. You love a tall doll. You know what? And look under your chairs because I got you.

You bought something. And you too. What is that? Was that to me? Yes. I don't know where you are. How did you do that? There are little bells with your names on there.

Oh, this is so sweet. And, Bert, there's another one for your twin. How did you know? I listened. Oh, wait. I'm a tall woman. That's right. And my ears are large.

No, huh? So I hear. We didn't talk about, I didn't want to make you uncomfortable, but they are very large. Very. No, don't. Look, that's why I can. We can. See them like behind the headphones.

Like really, she's wearing the headphones, but they just look like earbuds because the ears are so stupid. Look, they're big. I get it, but they're fun to dress. They're fun to dress. Sure. You have those gauges? That's them. They're like coasters.

Oh, don't be communist, everybody. That's the moral. Even though you're kind of in the clear now. Yeah, you're kind of in the clear. But the fear doesn't leave. Sure. Oh, Lord. Okay.

has a little hat on a little diaper you can swadle it up or you could look please get this thing out of my house. And welcome back. Now, is that welcome?

Yes. Yeah, that was a good. It's hard to come up with a new ones, isn't it? I don't know if I want to say that, but that was a good last one. Okay. Because we won't be doing that in seasonally. No, we won't. It's not sensational.

You know what I thought? What's that, Doug? What's that, babe? You could call us the three tenors. Because we've done a tenth season. Yeah. Yeah. Guess you could.

We're the three teners. I want to be Pavarotti. I'll be the one no one knows. Domingo. Doug is the one no one remembers. Wait. Jose.

Shelly's not in that? No. Oh, no. No. He was his own guy. Yeah. The three tenors were pre-Bachelli. Yes, that's true.

That's true. They were the ones who put opera on the map. Then there's the three Irish tenets. For centuries. Wait, what? The three Irish tenors as well. Is that a thing? Yeah.

Oh, and they sing opera as well? Yes. Okay. Great. And Irish songs? So we were talking earlier about this issue of Toneal getting immediately invited. That wasn't. So what are we going to do about this?

To be clear. What happened was I asked Doug if you would put me in touch with Toneal. Yes. So I could ask Tonell. Yes. Doug put the question in there as well. I think you said, can you reach out to Toneil and invite him? No, I did not say that.

Okay. I did not see that. I wanted his info so I could. could ask him. And you just... You did it in real time. What was the message that you sent to him? Oh, that's a good question.

Yeah. You can you find it and read it? Read it off the AIM. I said, Burns Best Man, question mark. Oh. Oh, that's all it was? Yeah.

Now just add to that it's going to be me. Never mind. Oh, I did do... Oh, that's a good idea. I did put a bunch of sunglasses emojis after that. Why? And does that mean something just surreal? Yeah.

Because you always see pictures. of like a wedding and you know for some reason all the best men are wearing or all the sort of grooms men are wearing sunglasses in the picture well we kind of is there anything cooler no we like to do it they always do it they're like oh you know we should take that one picture we're all wearing sunglasses it's like yeah yeah that's kind of that's the type of guys we are and when we see each other a lot tony old and i we often up to take our sunglasses we put them on yeah and then we lower them down a little bit oh you got to do that you got to you got to scramble get them out of your mind you got to you have to scramble get them out of pocket, put them on. And then tip them. And then tip them look real cool. You know, I'm not really loving this new sort of trend of a groom getting surprised by his bride by tapping you on him on the shoulder. But it's just his best buddy in a dress. I don't understand.

And we just think that's hilarious. Are you serious? I don't understand. No, I've seen it. I've never seen it. Where did it come from? Why are we doing this? Why?

It's not a. Why are we? I don't love the, oh, we're laughing. Because once again, it's a guy in a dress. It's not like you're making fun of a tradition that exists. I, well, apparently. it does. There's a whole thing now where the bride has to like, they do the bride reveal now. That's another thing they're doing on social media. You were never

supposed to see the bride. Yeah. But now you have to post it when you see the bride. But I mean, I thought that was... But now it's become a dude in a dress and then we all laugh and I just hate it. Why are we doing this? It's very stupid. Get more creative for God's sake. Also, you're adding more money to this whole proceedings. Exactly. We got a rent a dress. Get a dress for him? Fuck off. What a great sentiment to leave our listeners with. Okay, so what are you going to do, babe?

Are you going to just sort of... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, okay, okay. So the sunglasses emoji, what does that mean to you and Tonyo? It's just sort of a symbol of, like, we're on the level. It's cool. Okay, so still, Tonyo may not be thinking he has been asked to be the best man. Yeah, did you mean to convey to him? Oh, I would have liked to have been best man, but I'm cool with the fact you were asking.

And you said, wait, you said he responded that he was in? Yeah, he said, I'm in. Oh, no. And then he put a couple Cool guys emojis too. Cool guys emojis. I.E. sunglasses. So I think you need to,

I think there's still plausible deniability here. If the sunglasses thing just means, Yeah, what does he think he's in for? We both agree. This is cool. If he says I'm in, what does he think he's agreed to? Not necessarily substantive. You know what I'm saying?

That's my point. I'm just giving you the exact text message. I think you should do is right back and just say, oh, I meant me. I meant I'm going to be the best man. Yeah. I think you should say just to clarify, unless you think that's not cool.

If clarify is not cool to use, just say what I mean is, I'm going to be Burns Best Man. And then I guess the sun, sunglasses emoji. What's the matter with that? What is that? It's not really the coolest way of putting it.

Oh, boy. Okay, then what? Okay, put it into the duck, put it into the cool translator and what does that come out as? Yeah. What's the coolest way to tell Doniel I misspoke? Yeah, that's definitely not cool.

Probably, my bad. Okay, but you need more. All caps lock. All caps lock. Okay. Four. My bad, I meant me. That's in all caps?

No, I mean, I meant me. My bad, I met me. Yeah. Yeah, and then a couple cool guys. All right. And that will do it? And you think that'll do it. Can you do it in real time so we see what he says?

Because I want to know. And our listeners are, our fans are going to want to know. And our fan in Argentina. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi.

So I'm going to share a post while you do that, babe. Okay. Okay. Done. So I have a post. It's already done? Yeah. You're so fast at this.

To come down to dinner, it tastes like 20 minutes. My thumbs are insane from the Thumb Wars. I thought we agreed never to talk about thumb wars. We had a weird sort of spate of fighting breakout. I wouldn't say Civil War and Dignity Falls, but it was weird. and it just began as an innocent thumb war between two guys but then it got bloody.

No, there were a Molotov cocktails. Full tournament among the entire town. It was a full tournament. It was like, what's that movie? What's the arm wrestling movie? Over the top? That's right. It was like over the same.

You could challenge each other at any time. Yeah. They brought the law to it. But if whoever lost, the other person had to murder them with their thumb. Only. If you could do it. then it was legal.

But if you couldn't murder them, you were arrested for assault. People got weirdly creative. You have to pull over if somebody gave you the sign and they threw down the gauntlet, like even as you're driving past each other, you had to pull over, have a thumb war, the other person.

Did you know that you can kill someone by, wait, what, saying again? The gauntlet was a thumb of a gauntlet. Yeah. Did you know you could die by someone shoving their thumb into your belly button all the way through?

It was kind of like how deep, Houdini died. Haudini. Haudini. I got Houdini eyed. He stuck his thumb with my belly button. Wait, that's how Houdini died?

People found that out. No. Well, yeah, that's how Dini died. Dini was our neighbor. And Dini died. Oh, Deney died. That was Houdini died. I thought that's how Dini died.

That's what you meant. How Dini the Great. No. Don't. Not your genie. I'm not talking about Houdini. I'm talking about Dini and how he died. I say how Dini.

Yeah, but it was similar. Yeah, same area. Anyways. Do you remember the cannonball, the guy who took the cannonball in his belly? Good thing he had those goggles. This is a good thing. Okay, you ready? All right.

What are you crazy? Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop everything. Well, as we wait. As we wait for, for, um, so Neil's response, I'm going to read this, um, I'm going to read this post from Carmen. And, uh, let me just share what the photo is first. Where in the world is you writing from? From the state.

Rockabella. That's right. She's posting from, um, oh, she's on the, she's on the corner of Cleveland and pine. Okay. And it says, she has a picture of a flyer and it says underneath, underline, it's printed. You are trashing our street than larger letters. Do not park your car here underneath that, underlined will be towed. And it says north, well, the north Cleveland Pine community.

It says, got this very ugly note on my car. Please note that I parked exactly on Cleveland and Pine on the side street, not in front of a house. and there are no signs to warn its private street or need for permit. So obviously, my car won't get towed. But it's sad to see that we have people taking their time and ink to troll people and using the sheriff's department. That's all caps. Number as a North Cleveland Pine community. Contact.

Like, seriously? I guess they left the number of the sheriff instead of the actual community of the board. I'm sure they don't have time for this time of nonsense. Sorry, this is how it reads. I'm sure they don't have time for this time of none sense. N-O-N-E. Oh. Not the fabulous musical.

If a sheer madness would be invited. I've lived in this community for 10 years and this person does not represent Pine Cleveland community in parentheses, whoever that is, I hope they see this post. I'm not intimidated. Can I tell you, I had enormous trouble following that. So did I have enormous trouble reading it. She's so angry and it's way too long.

So she was parked in a place she was allowed to be parked in. She claims. She was parked into a place that she was allowed to be in. And she illustrates here's all the reasons I'm allowed to park. Correct. And then somebody left a note or something. Yes, but here's the thing. I feel like you could just say don't park your car or it will be towed.

Why do you say you are trashing our street? How do you trash someone's street by having a car there? Is there a picture of a car? There isn't. And you know, but I bet it's a trashy. I bet it's a trashy something. I bet it's like a like a civic. how was it cervix

the Toyota cervix no the Toyota cervix oh that's right they couldn't do yeah because Honda has the Civic we'll show you Honda and you do have to get it you have to go in and you have to go in

and get it scraped every year I would hate to have a car that needed a yearly scraping to believe me yeah exactly I know how that car feels. Anyways, I don't know what she was actually driving. But, A, I do think it's strange to say trashing her street,

but also this is the kind of thing where you just, I guarantee you she knows who did it. Also, she is intimidated because to say it is to be it. Yep. We all know that. We all know that. And I think that this is something where there's probably like five women. You know what I mean?

It was obviously a woman. There's no way. I don't think a man would ever pay attention to a car being on a street for a 24-hour period. They would not even notice. Oh, you don't think so? I don't know about that. Well, okay, of a certain age. Men of a certain age would.

Yes, yes, yes. Men of a certain age would. When they deputize themselves. Yes, when they're telling you get out of their lawn. Yes. They're in charge of the neighborhood. Okay, so maybe it was an older man. It's funny how she thinks that it took a lot of ink to print this up, though.

A lot of ink. Took their time and ink. Guess what it didn't take a lot of to do this, flyer. Time or ink. No. It didn't take a lot of either. Speaking of ink. Okay.

This is the kind of person that has a bunch of those printed up already. Yes, that's right. That's right. Tony will responded to me. Okay. Speaking of ink. Yeah, why is this? You'll understand.

I hope so. It's just one emoji. I've never seen this one before. What? It's a lock with a pen. A pen through it? Yeah, there's like a pen. Like a padlock.

You see it? A fountain pen. A fountain pen. What does that mean? What do you think he means by that? Quill lock. Lock, lock quill. Inc.

What would that mean? Right. I don't know. Quill lock. Quillock. Do you have sounds so disappointed in me, babe? Is Tonyo's last name Quillock? It is.

Then he's sort of signing. There you go. He's signing off. Well, why would he just give me his last name in a riddle? Well, does he ever... I'm not sure it's a riddle. Are all emojis riddles? Oh, boy.

It's going to change everything if that's the case. I thought they were supposed to represent things one to one. I thought so it were too. I'm worried he's locking me out. Of your life, his life? Yeah. In his house. Wow.

Don't write to me anymore, he's saying. Yeah. Oh, I hope not. Wow. Quillac. I wish men would just use their words every once in a while. I really do. I wish they would just say what's on their mind.

Men would rather design a custom emoji than go to therapy. Absolutely. They'd rather build a plot of my order. Well, that's for sure. Doug, you're indicting yourself. Yeah. You've never been to therapy? Oh, no.

Wow. You should go. It just occurred to. you get to lie down on that couch, right? That's why he wants to go. You can like... The times I've gotten him to almost consider it. I'm like, well, you get to lie down on a couch.

And he's like, all right. But he's like, but I can do that at home. You know, my friend... In fact, I am doing that. I've mentioned before his therapist. We have to have this friend of yours on sometime. He's tedious. I wouldn't do it.

Believe me, I'm giving you the best stories. Okay, good. He had a therapist and noted... It was his first time going to therapy, noted instantly, this couch is not long enough to lie down. Oh. Well, now they do this aerodynamic, ergonomic, not aerodynamic. Ergonomic chairs, you know, the ones that you always see movies like it's like a black leather thing.

And it's like a deck chair. You know what I mean? Yeah, I don't like that. I don't like that either. That wouldn't make me want to lie down and share. That's cold. It's cold and clinical. It's cold and clinical.

Yes. Which therapy shouldn't be. I don't want to feel like I'm in a human zoo. Exactly. All right. By the way. Oh. I have made the statue of myself.

self a cyclops. Why? And I have it in the plaque it says, there's plaques for all the statues? In the land of the blind, the cyclops is king. I guess so. I guess you can't argue with it. Think about that.

I mean, I don't think we have to. Yeah, I think it right there. And we'll see you next season. Oh, are you signing off? No, this is not how this works. No, you don't get to do that. Okay. We're not going to let you rewrite an expression.

I know you thought that would sign off. I know you thought that was your mic drop, but no, no. So why do we let Bert handle it? Believe me, I'm not going to try it. Yeah, should I write to Tonyo? Yeah, you might want to. Okay. You give me as a phone.

I'll take care of it. Okay. All right. Well, when we come, thank you so much for listening. We love our listeners. We truly do. We love our few fans. We truly do.

It'll be exciting because when we start season 11, it'll be like, oh, you'll already be planning for your wedding, Byrne? I know, I know. That's amazing. Yes. Joan, will you sing at the wedding? Oh, I was hoping you would ask. I was hoping I wouldn't have to ask.

And Gabby might, I mean, Gabby might ask you to be her maid of honor. Oh, really? She might, yeah. Oh, that's, okay. Did she tell you to say that? You just have any what friends? Did she female friends? Wow.

I guess that tracks in her. Did Gabby tell you to tell Joan that she might be the maid of honor? We were so close to being done. Well, to be fair. That was, that was me. Oh, okay. Okay, okay. She did say, I'm thinking about this.

Do you think Joan would be into it? Oh, okay. Yeah. He's now getting really into the semantics of it because we came down so hard and for his emojis, his sunglasses, as communications. So I think that's why.

Yeah, but we had a reason to do that. I thought it would be interesting if she said to tell Joan, you might be. But now would you want to do... Like, I'm in the mix for the brights for the best... Right. I might cut you... Made of water.

But do you... Would you do double duty? Would that be too much for you? Oh, no. I would love that. I'm happy when I'm doing too many things. Okay. What does she want me to sing?

She didn't say. I mean, what are the things that people sing at weddings? Oh, islands in the stream. This is Halloween from Nightmare of Christmas. What? You know what? She's probably going to ask for that if I know Kathy. She's probably going to ask for her this is Halloween from the night of Christmas.

You know what people request? I've done it all. I've run the gamut. Sure. She does a beautiful, this is Halloween. Oh, I have no doubt. I have no doubt. People got a dry eye in the audience.

It's acoustic guitar. You know, it's lovely. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This sounds great. Let us think about it, okay? I mean, I'm not going to get my hopes up about the made of honor thing, but I will start, I'll start pulling together music and I'll send you stuff. I think you're probably safe with this is Halloween.

Great, done and done. I'll just go through the formality of asking. It's already done it so many times. Yes. I'll go through the formality of asking Gabby if that's what she'd like. And I think whistle. I can do any kind of whistle. Well, I don't want to.

Wedding theme. I appreciate that. I don't want to count on that because I do not have high hopes for your longevity in the men's whistle choir. But you could just do it on your own. Even if he gets kicked out, he could do it on his own. That's a nice offer. There's no way they'll let you whistle. Oh, that's right.

Oh, yeah. You can't have side projects. For the rest of your life. You can have side projects. Yeah, no solo albums. Okay. We've had to cut Doc of the Bay and rhubarb caravan. Oh, really?

Yeah, because it's whistling. Yeah. Yeah. So what do you do? You just play it on a different instrument? What do you play it on? We all do sort of mouth trumpets. It's not technically a whistle.

That's that sound. Oh, big. The biggest gasp we've had on the world. You are better at it. You're right. All right. We gotta go. Let's all be friends again.

I love you both. We love you too. I speak for both of them. I speak for me and your wife. I love all of you. I love all of you. I love both of you. Thank you so much for listening to season 10 or indeed as many seasons as you have listened.
