Welcome once more to the Neighborhood Listen, the podcast that explored the neighborhood of
dignity Falls. I am one of the residents of dignity Falls. My name is Burt Mia Pade. I'm a
pharmacist at the dignity falls messy and with me as always is Joan pedestrian. I'm the top realtor
here in dignity Falls and also an amateur actress. Were you, were you comfortable with the phrase?
What did you say? Yeah, you did roll your eyes though.
I did, but you know, they can't hear that
except for now you told them.
So I rolled my eyes everybody.
I'm still obviously not comfortable
with the phrase amateur actor.
I guess that's true.
What were you going to ask me?
I was, is there a better word than amateur to say?
What is it?
There has to be, there has to be.
There has to be.
There has to be.
What?
What? I mean, there has to be, there has to be.
What? I mean, there's gotta be something.
Local?
That denotes, I like local.
It's better than amateur.
It is better than amateur.
And it's shorter and more to the point.
I'm a local actress here.
Amateur does sound, there's a little bit of insult to it.
Absolutely, there's a judgment.
There's a, there's a, it just has a,
there's just a lot surrounding that word that I think is
negative.
What about pretend actor?
Nope. It seems redundant actually. Okay.
So what were you going to ask me? Can you remember?
I felt like you were mirroring my sort of a, a, a,
a broadcast style that I was doing.
Yes. Sometimes. And that is a theater exercise by the way.
And it's a professional theater exercise,
not an amateur theater exercise.
So the amateur don't do it.
To be what I mean to say is everybody does it.
Liam Neeson's gotta do it.
What is the what is the?
What exercises do you think he does before they start
rolling on the latest taken?
I think I think he mirrors with his other actors.
Do you think, do you think?
I think he does some elevator trills.
Some, I think he's called elevator trills.
I mean, people call them both and I just smashed them
together is what I did.
I smashed both worlds.
They're either called elevators or trills.
Both, both are correct.
But people other say other things like
blowing through the lips or there's many.
That was very straightforward.
Yeah, I assume he's still, I mean, listen,
he's got to be classically trained, right?
They all are across the pond.
They all are.
So I bet you anything he does a couple of, you know,
fancy theater.
Mitch McConnell's milkshake madness.
Mitch McConnell's milkshake madness.
That's of course a call back to one of the tongue twisters
that flew out of my mouth when you asked me for one.
That's right, that's one of Joan's vocal warmups.
Mitch McConnell's milkshake madness.
It's definitely harder first of all
to do with a thick Irish brogue.
Absolutely.
And also, do you say Irish brogue or only Scottish brogue?
I think it's a Scottish burr.
You're kidding.
I'm not kidding.
So I've been doing it wrong?
Bert, you're very serious
about this. Some people do say Scottish broke, but I believe the appropriate term is burr. Really?
Where do you get that? Where did you learn that? I forget where you know where I read that. I knew
it would come to you. It was an interview with Rod Stewart. And you were willingly reading an
interview with Rod Stewart. I never said I was willingly.
Were you on a plane?
That sounds like a plane article to me.
Where else are you going to read an article about Rod Stewart?
An interview, no less.
Doctor's waiting room?
Oh, that's a good one.
Okay.
And what did he say?
He was lamenting that he did not have the, the and his words,
Scottish burr, like his accent is very mild, apparently.
I see.
Okay. Yeah. So mild.
I didn't, I keep forgetting that he was.
Irish broke Scottish burr.
Irish broke Scottish burr.
American laziness.
Why is it lazy?
Again, if you, oh gosh, if you look into any kind of the acting that they do, they're just
more specific.
We are lazy.
We're lazy in the way that we talk a lot.
I really think that we are.
As a species.
As a species.
Wow.
But anyways, I'll start saying burr, which I think is very interesting.
I like that.
It is interesting and fun.
Just to answer your question, it is fun. The mirroring is really just to sort of like get sort of a connection with your partner
and sort of a kinetic exercise where you're exchanging energy. And it also might just be
for silly fun and just warming up your face. And in fact, in terms of like, oh, you're going to make
a face, I'm going to make a face. And that's, oh, that's supposed to build a connection. I think
it does. That would drive me insane.
If I were doing something
and somebody were doing it back to me.
Well, first of all, it's in a controlled environment
and it would be limited to time.
I'm glad it's in a controlled environment
and not just, what's the opposite of that?
Where would I be where the environment is like?
Maybe everyone that came up to the falls must see count.
Can you imagine if they just, I'm going to do it right now.
You just, everyone at home, I'm going to mirror
Burge when he's doing the pharmacy speak.
Okay. Hi, how can I help you?
Oh, it's possible that I over mirrored.
I hate it. I hate it when I'm a real over mirror.
There was no way I could interpret that other than insulting.
It instantly, it instantly projecting.
This is what you look like.
I'm so sorry for.
I mean, I had nothing as maybe this self-conscious in a long time.
I mean, this is my job. This is what I say this every day.
I was just trying to over explain what the what the thought of it was too subtle.
I wouldn't get it.
Yes.
And also I wanted it to be bigger so that I could actually do the example.
And my impetus just went road road right through logic.
And I ended up making you feel mocked and I am sorry.
It was a very muppety face.
I mocked instead of mirroring you.
My eyes went way wider than yours were.
And I felt that.
You did it strangely with your mouth.
You know what I felt?
Well, we'll never know about that because it's a podcast,
but I'll take your word for it.
That's right, only I will know.
Only I have the knowledge of what you did.
You are the knower.
That's an attempted breaking bad reference.
I think it's time to check in with my husband, Doug.
Oh yes, Doug, our engineer.
He's an engineer and he's always in a different room.
You know, you fellas never let me get past a single moment
if my words aren't correct.
I'm so sorry.
No, it's fine, I over mirrored you.
It's fair.
It's fair play.
Fair play, Bernd.
Fair play to you.
That's what our friend Liam Neeson would say.
That's what he would say.
After he's all warmed up.
After he's all warmed up from his mirroring
and his lip trills.
Bernd, you're Bernd.
Doug is in, I think you might think this is kind of fun.
And especially Gabby, your girlfriend, because
you know, she's sort of into the industry.
For a long time, you know how like stand up comedians, you know, go and do their, you
know, they bring their show to different places in the country and before they get on stage,
they wait in a place called the green room.
And Doug thought it'd be really fun if our house had a green room because we have guests.
So it's a place that they can wait.
But you know, he went on a lot of like pick sites
and looked up green rooms.
And so what he really did is make it look like a,
like a shitty green room for a, for a, I know.
And we put a lot of snacks in there,
but what he's also done is we're just gonna start having
our guests sign the wall.
But he also put a lot of fake signatures.
And yeah, hey babe, do you want to talk more
about your green room? Sure, you covered a lot of fake signatures. Oh really? Yeah. Hey babe, do you want to talk more about your green room?
Sure.
You covered a lot of it.
Also, as good work, Jones.
Well, you know, one time I asked where you were and you, and you, I could tell you looked
at me and, and we're like, he said you thought it was my turn to tell you where you were.
So that's why I just picked up the mantle.
By the way, I would, I would suggest burgeoning instead of
amateur. Oh, that's really good, babe. Burgeoning is good. He's been thinking about that word this
whole time. It doesn't imply you're going somewhere and you're not. I guess that's true. I guess
that's true. It doesn't play something else is yet to come, but there isn't anything. It's like the
most fancy way of saying aspiring or hopeful. It's like, it really sounds
more, it does sound, it does sound like active, you know, you're going to be urgent. Well, if you
say it too much, it loses all meaning. Um, okay. What, tell me what's going on, babe. Yeah. I'm
just trying to cover this wall. Um, he's doing a lot of signatures and also he's not doing just
comedians. I think you actually did a Rod Stewart. Do you have a Rod Stewart?
There's a Rod Stewart. There's a big Rod Stewart.
What do you have Rod Stewart saying?
What was Rod Stewart saying? What did Rod Stewart say?
Well, he, I'm in this world, he's toured as a solo act.
In this world? This green room has its own sort of universe.
He's got his own timeline. This green room has its own sort of universe.
It's got its own timeline.
He came in actually in the late 60s in the Jeff Beck group.
Wait, is Rod Stewart a stand up in that timeline?
He was with Faces?
Was that the name of the group?
Faces, he was in the Faces and also Jeff Beck group, which is...
Oh, it was just called Jeff Beck group?
Yeah, they had a great album.
It sounds businessy. It does, it really does. The Jeff Beck group. Yeah, they had a great, great album. It sounds businessy. It does, it really does.
The Jeff Beck group.
Don't knock it till you listen, brother.
I know, oh wow, I think Doug got a little testy
that we're making, that we're playing
and having fun with the name.
Don't knock it till you've listened?
And then he said brother.
I what, oh, okay.
How'd you miss that part?
That was a negative.
Very macho man Randy Savage, or no, Hulk Hogan.
Did they both say brother?
I don't know, but they're both on the wall.
Yeah.
And there's I had the twins cover the penis art.
Yeah, they were allowed to draw it.
So first you put penis art on there.
He had them draw it.
OK.
I think that's the one thing they knew about this whole thing.
And they're like, oh yeah, guys, do our dicks, you know?
And so they drew them.
And then, of course, now he's making them cover it up.
It's a weird version of allowing our children
to do graffiti and then also making them clean it up.
I'm putting fig leafs over every single one.
Did they, did they know when they were drawing the penises
that the covering up would then be the next step?
Yeah, did they babe?
Or did you act as if in this world,
did you act as if someone else had done it and then said, guys, you got to clean this up? No, I think
that played better in like the seventies and eighties. And then in this world we're, we're
evolving past that. I think he's getting confused because I think he's just thinking decades
in this timeline. But what babe, we're talking about-
I'm saying there was a time where they could draw those that art. And then I later said,
guys, it's time now to cover.
I get that. I get that.
Let's all take a breath. I wish you two could mirror each other because I think this would
help you connect, but you can't do it because you can't see Doug.
That's right. That's right.
Because that's a big part of mirrors.
It's a huge part. I would say it's the main, it's really, that's number one.
Yeah.
Oh.
That is mirrors number one.
Mirrors 101, I would say.
Mirrors 101!
I have to say, speaking of the twins,
of course I'm talking about my twin boys, Matt and-
Prince Ali, Fabulisi, Ali Ababa.
Prince Ali, Fabul He, Ali Ababa. Prince Ali, Fabulous He, Ali Ababa.
Listen, I was, what's weird about that is,
the movie hadn't come out.
And-
Which movie?
Which movie is that?
Exactly.
Anyway, so now I have some bad news about their pilot.
Of course we've been talking about, Oh no, they've been, they sold a pilot about pranking your parents
to the Chick-fil-A streaming network and they put a lot of money behind it and they decided
to get their money. No, no, no, no. Chick-fil-A put a lot of money behind it. They're, are
you kidding? From me? They literally stole $100,000,000 from us. Well producing one-on-one never use your own money.
That's producing one-on-one. We're the mirrors that they,
you would think that it would share the same thing, you know,
cause you don't want to spend your own money on a mirror.
That's another rule of mirrors.
Anyways. Okay. So bad luck.
If you buy your own mirror, if you buy your own mirror,
Oh, get this out of my house. What are the other only get mirrors.
Oh no. Is this like, is this like Jones lizard tricks?
It's time for Jones, memento mirror.
He's all the things you must remember about the morning and you don't remember
the rules about mirrors. That's why it's called memento mirror.
First one is never buy your own mirror. That's right. Second of all, walk past it first, very quickly.
Walk past it first, very quickly. Can you glance?
The first time you walk past it, you must walk past it very quickly.
Or if you're coming home, don't let it catch you.
Don't let it catch your reflection right away. Why is it by the door?
Well, because I always have to check out how I look before I leave. That's me.
Look before you leap. Some people say out how I look before I leave. That's me.
Right, but you're saying you walk-
Look before you leap.
Some people say, I say look before you leave.
Right, but you're saying walk-
Is that a t-shirt?
Quickly past it.
I don't think so, Joe.
Damn it!
It felt like one.
I got that feeling, that tingly feeling
when you think something's a t-shirt.
Oh well, better luck next time.
Okay, what are you asking about the mirror? Well, if, why are you, if I would assume the purpose
of the mirror by the door is to see how you look before
you leave.
Look before you leave.
I swear it's a t-shirt.
Okay, walk me through how it's a t-shirt.
Maybe it's a key chain.
Maybe it's a popper. Maybe it's a key chain. it's a t-shirt. Maybe it's a key chain.
What if the t-shirt had a mirror on it?
Oh, that's good. Like a real reflective something.
Like that Time Magazine cover over at the person of the year.
Oh boy, when we were the most introducing person, we all know that was a lie.
That threw me for a while.
Talk about insulting mirroring.
Doug framed it and put it in his office.
But then everyone who walks in there and looks at it, they're the person.
I don't think he got that.
But then I raised my head above their shoulder and said, look at us.
Wow, that's nice.
I actually like that.
That's sweet.
Okay, so your question about leaving and looking before you leave.
So it's look before you leave, but you also said you walk past it very quickly.
That's the first time then you come back in the frame. Okay. Yeah, it's you come back in the frame.
I have to work myself up to it.
I don't really have time looking myself in the mirror.
Oh, why is that, Joan?
Well, I mean, again, like any like any what was the word I'm supposed to use?
Not burgeoning, not aspiring like any local actor.
Like any local actor, I have a lot of insecurities.
And so I just, it's sort of like, it's like a test run.
Okay. So number one, test run.
Oh wait, sorry.
One, one, no, sorry.
No, no, you're right.
Number one, never buy your own mirror.
Number two, test run.
Number three, sneak back in.
And by that I mean into frame, you know, and then just take up, take, and then number four,
are we on number four?
Yeah.
Be brave.
Wow.
Yeah.
And that just means take a breath and look
and really try to take it in and find something.
And then the last one is find something.
Okay. And what does that mean?
Anything that's working, you know,
and focus on that and try to say,
Hey, that part worked today.
Are these really rules for mirrors because they see?
They're just rules for me.
Oh yeah, I was gonna say.
Okay. Let me get back to Matt and Prince Ali,
Fabulousy, Ali, and Babo.
Well, before we do that, let me talk about,
you said Be Brave, was it?
Yes, yeah.
And I've never seen War Horse,
I've never seen it on stage or on screen.
Same, I know exactly what it is,
but don't know what it is.
Exactly, exactly!
Right, you know what I mean?
Exactly!
You know what I mean?
I feel like that about so many things.
Okay, so the stage idea,
I thought like a big part of it was,
here's people, a bunch of people pretending to be one horse. Correct. And you can see them. Yes. That's it. This
there's no trick whatsoever. We can see their job so well. So well. Swear there
was a horse on stage. Yes. You stopped looking at the people. Then the movie,
they're like real horse.
Yeah. In that case, I don't know. We can have't want to have a horse in the movie because it won't smell
in the theater.
And it's just a totally different piece of art.
Exactly.
Which I would have happily gone into a movie theater and watched a filming of the play
of War Horse.
Right?
This is what I'm saying.
I understand what you're saying.
But here's and I overstand.
You understand?
Oh yeah, that's right., and I overstand, you understand?
Oh yeah, that's right, the kids say overstand, yeah.
Babe, that was, I just, oh my God.
What, what was that?
Oh, I think he heard the word overstand
and thought overruled and you know,
he just said sustained.
Sustained, okay, all right.
So, I like the idea that sustained
is a response to overruled.
Yes, I know, I know.
Anyone in the courtroom can say any of these words at any time. I like the idea that's sustained is a response to overruled. Yes, I know. I know.
Anyone in the courtroom can say any of these words at any time.
It's probably the two you can't put together. It's like you can think.
They are polar opposites. They really, really are. He just said, yes, no.
The only thing I recall from the trailer for the movie War Horse is I guess some officer
must be an officer.
War.
There's war going on.
There's war.
Where there's war, there's officers.
And here's what I intuited.
This man has just ordered his soldiers to go forth into battle.
Okay.
And here's what I remember him saying.
Okay. I couldn't even say,
I don't think this gentleman,
I don't know if we saw him on screen.
Uh-huh.
But this is all I remember.
It's burned in my brain forever.
Okay.
Be brave!
Be brave!
Okay, so that's where that comes from
because that's in the trailer.
He says it first, he says it like-
Is he saying it to the horse or to the boy? That's a good question. Probably to the horse. That's why I didn't want to
get anywhere near it. Probably to the horse. You don't think it's the boy's job to say?
I don't, it's not called war boy. It's called war horse. True, but I don't think, I don't think
the commanding officer is going to take time out to say to the horse, hey, be brave. This is true. I love how much we talk about different media and different films that we know nothing about.
And we talk about it as if our podcast is dedicated to it.
Boy, that's true, Joan. That's very true.
You know, the thing is I wanted to avoid that story. I wanted to avoid that story at all costs.
I was just so worried the horse was gonna die.
You know they have like a website, does the dog die?
You can go to a website and you can avoid seeing a dog die
in any kind of like TV or film.
But I needed, does the horse die for that one?
And I actually hear, spoiler alert, that it doesn't.
So thank God.
All the horse doesn't die.
Does the horse die?
All the puppeteers die.
Oh, at the end they fall down.
That's right.
They all fall down. They all fall down. That's right. They all fall down.
That's right.
Ashes, ashes.
Now, when the, does the dog die?
I always wondered what it makes me think.
I didn't always wonder this.
Okay.
I appreciate your candor.
That's giving it too much credit.
I appreciate your candor.
This idea that I feel like it's seldom you see
the dog actually die on screen. Yeah, but for some people that's almost worse. They cut to a dog
that's lying down and it's like, oh no, he's dead. Right. But I mean, even if it happens,
it doesn't matter if it happens off camera. It's just the idea of it. I can't. All right. I get
that. And maybe that's because they have a 30 year old dog. And so I've just gotten so used to him being alive. I don't know what I'll do. I thought it was 30
burnt. You're trying to, this is, this is secondhand vanity.
Jones dog escrow is 50 years old. And that's a mirror. I can't look in.
All right. I really want to tell the story about the twins, but I think we,
I think we've been talking for a while, babe.
Can you tell me how long we've been,
he's got to put down his Sharpie.
He was doing another signature.
Who were you doing just now, babe?
Wait, hold on, I'm looking for the time.
Oh, you can't do two things at once.
I still, I would love to know.
It's a real process when we ask him.
It's our seventh season.
And we still.
20.
20.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Oh.
I was signing as the Osmonds.
Oh, very good.
The Osmonds.
Yeah, the Osmonds. All of them. That The Osmonds. Yeah, the Osmonds.
All of them.
That's a good one.
Yeah, that's right.
What are their names again?
Donnie Marjorie.
Diane Smith.
No one knows Marjorie.
No one knows Marie is short for Marjorie.
Are these Osmonds that you know personally?
Oh, wait, remember, Bert, it's a different timeline.
So guess what?
Have at it, babe.
That's right.
Have at it.
In this world.
Correct.
These are the Osmonds.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh know personally? Oh, wait, remember Bert, it's a different timeline. So guess what?
Have at it, babe.
That's right.
Have at it.
In this world, these are the Osmonds' names.
And how many are there in total?
There's 19.
Sure, absolutely.
That's a lot.
It's a lot even for them.
And Rod Stewart was in them.
Rod Stewart was in the Osmonds.
Yes, he was.
I'm surprised you didn't read that in that United article.
United Airlines finally caught up with Rod Stewart in the midst of his busy schedule.
And that's what it would have said.
We caught up with Rod Stewart.
Caught up with him.
Oh boy.
Should I get hair like his? Oh no. Oh, I think Doug could pull it off. That was
going to end with a Lee, not a Lee not. No, absolutely. Absolutely. I think Doug, uh oh,
there might be an overruled coming. I think Doug could pull it off.
I'm not saying he can't, but just get a wig.
I mean, you don't want that for a whole entire year.
You don't want that.
That's a lot.
That's a big haircut.
You don't need it for a year.
Well, first of all, it would take, listen to me,
he'd have to grow out or get extensions.
There'd have to be a dye job.
That takes months.
You don't understand, men don't understand
how long haircare takes.
Mine grows extremely fast.
I know it does.
It actually is true.
It actually is true.
I call my little Chia Pet.
Which is weird because there was a Chia Head.
That's true.
Remember that?
There was a Chia Head.
Chia Pet is more affectionate than Chia head. That's true. That's true. Remember that? There was a Chia head.
Chia pet is more affectionate than Chia head.
Sure is.
And it's much more pleasant than the actual item of Chia head.
Do you remember when they made the Barack Obama Chia head?
No.
And everybody just had to look the other way.
Oh no.
Not a good look Chia.
Richard Simmons? Sure that made sense. Absolutely.
Oh boy.
All right.
Well, we definitely have to take a break and we'll have a guest and we come back.
Right, burnt?
Oh, well, yes, Joan.
Did I take all your lines?
No, no, no, it's not that.
Of course we will.
You didn't need to check with me.
Okay.
Well, you look surprised.
You look like me mirroring you at the pharmacy.
I don't think so.
That green, you would know it if you saw it.
What babe, green?
The green giant would make a good shia head.
Okay, Doug.
That's great.
All right, we will return with the Neighbored Listen
when the Neighbored Listen returns.
["The Neighbored Listen Theme"] Hello everybody, it's Nicole.
Do you know what?
It's the holiday time.
It's the holiday season and it is one of my favorite times.
I love gift giving, especially because I have a kid now and whether or not the gift is coming
from Santa or me, it doesn't matter because the joy on that kid's face is the greatest. But I also
really love giving gifts to my family. And you know what? It's really great when you
get someone a gift that they wouldn't necessarily get from themselves, that little bit of luxury
that they don't know they're missing. For quality gifts at an affordable price, my go-to
is Quince. Now, Quince lets you treat your loved ones and yourself. Don't forget yourself
this holiday season. Please don't forget yourself. To everyday luxury at an affordable price, something everyone needs in their closet,
in my opinion, Quinn's iconic Mongolian cashmere sweaters, which start at $50,
or the ultimate year-round gifts, check out their 14-karat gold jewelry, Italian leather
handbags, and European linen sheet sets. Yum! Whatever you're looking for, all Quinn's items
are priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands.
I wanna be very clear.
I said yum, but that doesn't mean they're edible.
Please don't eat them.
How do they do that?
How do they go with pricing at 50 to 80%
less than similar brands
by partnering directly with top factories
and cutting out the cost of the middleman,
which passes the savings onto you?
Quinn's is on the nice list.
Oh, sure they are.
They only work with factories that use safe, ethical,
and responsible manufacturing practices, and they are. They only work with factories that use safe, ethical, and responsible manufacturing practices
and they use premium fabrics and finishes for that luxury feel in every piece.
Now I just recently purchased this incredibly chic and incredibly comfortable and incredibly
versatile white button down shirt.
It's a short sleeve shirt.
I love it.
It goes with everything.
I'm never taking it off.
I mean, I will.
Okay.

Hi everybody, this is Mary Lou.
I have got a cat figurines set for $10.
Para porcelain cat figurines with musical theme.
As you can see, there is just a darling cat.
I think he's a tomcat anyhow, with a banjo and a real smart hat and then
I what I I believe is to be the lady kitty who's who's wearing a dress and she's got a beautiful purple parasol
They're standing in front of this gorgeous
Face full of blue stones and you know, I had such a fun time with them
And it's real fun you can just make
up stories I love to make up a story I like to imagine that this is a sort of
pre-world war southern story of a pair of star-crossed lovers and her name is
Josephine and his name is Ronald and their families
just feuded all the time and they didn't want him to play the banjo.
They wanted him to go into the blacksmith legacy that his father owned.
But he didn't want that.
He said, Dad, I'm an artist.
Don't you understand?
And they wanted Josephine to marry a terrible, brutin' and buzz.
He was so awful, and honestly, it was like no one wanted them to have their love so they
would have to meet behind the church.
And that's where things got real heated.
I'll tell you what, if you look at that one picture where they're just staring at the
stones, you can see what a cute little tush that Ronald has on him. Anyways, it turns dark when Buzz confronts Josephine one night
at the picket fence in front of her house where she lives. She took that
parasol and she stabbed him through the heart. And what their secret is, is that
Buzz's body is hidden in that base of blue stones. That's why they're
always standing in front of it just whistling Dixie. So as you
can see, they gotta get out of my house or else they're gonna
get caught. Okay, everything's all right.
And welcome back to the Neighborhood Listenin' Joan.
As you predicted, we do have a guest here
at the Kitchen Island with us.
Yes.
As you may or may not know,
what we do is we scour the NeighborHap,
the social media application for neighbors, neighborhoods.
Sure.
Social media application. Yeah, that's right, right? I think that's neighborhoods. Sure. Social media application.
Yeah, that's right, right?
I think that's great.
Yeah.
Did it start to sound like burgeoning to you?
I didn't know when I was going to stop saying words.
Oh, I hate it when that happens.
Social media networking application.
I didn't say networking.
Is that right?
If we listen back?
Okay.
If we listen, yeah, if you want to.
If we play the tape.
If you want to do. bad. This isn't a real
courtroom because then Doug could like read it back for us, but he only knows.
Oh, I know we should get a stenographer. We really actually, we really should.
And a sketch artist. Yes. Do they all go to the same school? The courtroom sketch artist?
I don't know, but I honestly think they're all having a laugh. I really do because they
don't seem serious, especially those guys.
Because a lot of the drawings that come out are like,
did you try or are you, I'm sorry,
I don't mean to shit on whole courtroom sketch artists,
but really some of them lately have been a bit crazy.
Do you think it's guys from a boardwalk somewhere
who are like, I'm gonna take a break from doing caricatures.
No, no, no, no, no, I would actually prefer that.
I prefer a fun caricature over just like some weird
impressionist attempt.
Some of them barely even make an attempt to sort of like
define features.
It's very strange.
Do you know what?
I did not know how much I felt about this until you brought
it up, but I'm on fire right now.
Yeah, that really struck a nerve.
It really did.
Joan looks at the paper every day and looks over the sketch
artist. It's just right every day. First of all, if you can believe. Joan looks at the paper every day and looks over at the sketch artist. It's just rough.
Every day.
First of all, if you can believe,
I look at the paper every day.
Yeah, of course.
You love the newspaper.
Like anyone.
You love the newspaper.
Like anyone.
We all love the newspaper.
And it's just riddled with courtroom sketch drawings.
There's so many.
There's so many.
Courtroom cases here.
It's replaced the funny section.
The cameras are not allowed.
It's replaced the comic section. It's replaced the comic section.
It has, yeah.
And nobody missed the comics.
No, no one really missed it.
Nobody missed the comics.
I don't even know what they are anymore.
Catch up with the Adventures of Henry.
Prince Valiant.
Prince Valiant?
I miss that guy.
The Family Circus.
The Family Circus.
Drabble.
Oh boy, do you remember Drabble?
I do remember. All right, okay. Now we shouldcus. Drabble. Oh boy, do you remember Drabble? I do remember.
All right, OK.
Now we should just get to this guest.
We should.
And so what we do is we scour the Neighbor
app, the social networking application for neighborhoods,
and we look for interesting neighbors to talk to.
People have posted on there.
And if you see one, perhaps, on the Neighbor app
that we have missed, screenshot it,
send it to us at burntandjohnatgmail.com.
You said all the things.
We had a list. Thank you. You said all the things. We had a thank you.
A listener sent this in. One of our neighbors named Will, Case Will. Case Will. Do you think
it's Will Case? That's a good question. I don't know. Because I'm just going off of people's email
address. Sure. If their name does not appear. Yeah. Is it Casey Wilson? It does not seem to be Casey Wilson. But this
is a post entitled, Old White Ladies. It's in the crime and safety section. Old White
Ladies saw several old white... This was posted by James. Okay. I don't know if that's important.
Okay. We'll see if our guest needs to say anything about James. Old white ladies. I saw several old white ladies on Garfield on the
way to work this morning and they were all howling at the moon. I didn't know what to do so I texted
Sandy Simpson and he texted back and told me to call the chief of police. That's all one sentence, And here with us is, I think, one of those old white ladies.
Well, thanks a lot.
Oh, sorry.
What is your name, dear?
Glendon.
Glendon.
Oh, hello, Glendon.
Hello.
Thank you for being here.
Yes, we're delighted to have you.
Thank you for having me, Joan and Bernd.
I take a lot of issue with a lot of things in the post. I've been
quiet on the app. I've been on the app as a resident. I like to know what's going on,
but I really mind my own business. I've seen a lot of things. I don't tell anyone. Oh,
really? Okay. That's the kind of neighbor I am. I see. I kind of like, I like you. I
like you already. I just, I don't want to talk about it. I'll see you doing stuff.
I could bury so many people in this town
with what I've seen.
Is there a sort of anonymous,
a blind item you could give us of something you've seen?
Do you have a demois on our neighborhood?
Well, what was that guy's name?
James.
James.
Yeah, tell us about James.
I'm going to find out about James.
I'd like to come back on the show after that.
And I want to bury this guy.
Wow, we've never had a guest barely start talking
and already want to come back.
No, it's up to you.
I know I don't make the calls.
Are you saying you want us to have James on the show
and then you will come back and confront him?
I need more info on who James is,
is the bottom line.
Oh, well we don't know, we just saw this.
Yeah, we're just seeing this.
Well, all I know is I got a knock on the door. She's leaning in and pointing. I am. Uh huh. It's not aggressive. Okay.
I'm expressing myself. You know, we love that. I've been very withdrawn. I've been dissociating
for most of my life. Oh dear. Okay. So this started out as like a keep to myself. Okay.
Well, can we ask a follow-up question on that? Because at first when you said a keep to myself. You're just coming out of it now. Okay, well can we ask a follow up question on that?
Because at first when you said I keep to myself,
I thought, you know, although it did have a whiff of like,
oh wait, is this leading to something
a little bit more serious?
And this now sounds a little more serious.
Can you talk a little bit more about
why you were dissociating for so long
and how long that's been?
Oh God, I don't know where that started.
I don't have memories.
Oh, at all?
Yeah, lately I'm getting some flashes. Okay. I don't have any... At all? Yeah, lately I'm getting some flashes, but...
Okay.
I don't know.
What's the earliest thing you can remember?
I guess, Cracker Barrel.
Okay.
But it's hard to date that because I've been going so long.
Something must have happened at a Cracker Barrel.
So historically I have a relationship with the place.
I don't know if I'm remembering from when I was a child
or an adult,
because my height in the memory, I can't tell if I'm standing up or sitting down.
Oh, interesting. I never thought about memory versus height and whether or not that plays a part of that.
You should start thinking about it.
You should. It's real fascinating.
Can I ask how old a lady you are?
I'm not that old. So when someone calls me an old lady, I see. Yeah. If you don't
want to tell me it's okay. Not everybody wants to disclose their age. I am. Hmm. Oh, looking away.
Trying to think of she hasn't been asked desert storm. I was aware of. Does that give you a date?
Oh, so you're, you're just trying to age yourself based on things you remember.
And just sort of cultural movements.
Right, but you really don't know how old you are?
I have a pretty good idea, I'm 57.
Oh, okay, all right.
Yeah, I would say that's old.
No, not at all.
Wait, how did you, what led you to believe
that this post was about you?
Can I see it, do you have the post, Pern?
I wanted to take a look at it again.
Yes, take a look at this.
Okay, thank you.
It's incendiary, what kind of good is going to come from somebody posting something like that?
A chief of police knocks on my door.
My door asks me about who I've been associating with.
I know the chief of police vaguely.
I've seen him shopping.
I don't think he's shopping for stuff a normal person buys.
Oh, like what's he shopping for? He always gets a lot of ground beef.
This is Tim Ternickett, our chief of police. Oh boy, oh boy, Tim Ternickett. And he loves
making smash burgers. He does. No buns, apparently. Oh, that's his thing. No,
that's right. It's just a gigantic patty. But I'm not posting on the app about that.
Well, I'm saying you see these standards.
Yeah, but everyone knows.
Everyone knows what?
Well, everyone knows he buys a lot of ground beef.
Oh yes, exactly.
Okay, I didn't know everybody knew that.
He makes a big deal out of it.
He drives to the grocery store with his siren on
and he just wails into the parking lot
and he just parks, you know, he double parks.
He cuts the line. Yeah, he has his gun drawn. He clears out the ground beef section, cuts the line.
He fires one into the air right through the ceiling.
And he says, I'm making my famous four man smash burger.
It's one big patty that four people are supposed to surround and then eat with their hands by their
backs. Wow. So I'm not a mad about it, right? He can do
that. Of course. Do that. Can I just ask you, do you remember
being with some friends howling at the moon? I seem upset that
you were called an old white lady. So that makes me think you
were there. I was around. I was around. Tim Ternick. It did show up at your door. He did show up at my door based on what?
I don't know. I think James identifying me is what it was. Okay. But can I just ask what
were you ladies doing and do you, were you howling at the moon or doing something that
could be construed as that we were howling? You were okay Okay. How come? The moon wasn't even out.
So that was the first asshole moon.
So that's the part that's wrong. They're not howling at the moon.
They were just howling.
And it was a release of stuff. It's some, gals I know, we've been trying to do some inner work.
We started listening to podcasts recently.
And understanding a lot more about just the way things work and don't
work. What are some of your favorite pods? I like I go to this for you section
right and I just roll the dice. I've listened to Smartless. Oh sure. Wow those
guys have fun. That's a friend too. They have so much fun and they have so much money. So much fun money. I didn't even know they were rich.
They just sound nice to me.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Well, yeah, it's easy to be nice to rich.
So they're just doing it for the love of it.
And yet no one is.
So true.
So true, Bert.
Yeah.
Why is that?
Did that hit home?
That really hit home.
It really did.
I think I'm getting some memories.
Oh, really?
Really?
I just saw a wallet.
So it could have been just, you said something and I thought of a wallet.
Let's just try to keep track here.
We have Cracker Barrel.
We have wallet.
We have Operation.
We have Desert Shield.
Desert Shield or Storm?
Storm.
Desert Shield.
So we're past Desert Shield.
Yes, we sure are.
I think it was pivotal in getting us there.
Yeah.
Well, we don't need to litigate that, but sure.
Absolutely.
But, so you were howling, by the way,
I absolutely love this.
I have wanted to do this.
I want to be a lady out there holding hands in a circle
and just having a primal scream.
Lots of women are doing this.
Lots of moms go to a forest and they just scream.
Is that true?
It is a thing. You can find videos of it on TikTok. Oh, I'm good.
They need to do it.
You're saying is this what you were doing? You and your friends?
I like the way you just sort of legitimized what we were up to.
We didn't know.
I will say I probably wouldn't do it in a residential area, which Garfield is.
I probably go into the forest. The only reason I don't want to do it.
I'm afraid of getting vocal damage, you know.
Yeah, sure. Yeah. Oh, you're a local actor.
I had to keep my local vocal cords, my local vocals. I have to protect my local vocals.
Protect your local vocals. Now that's a t-shirt. Come on.
Now that is a t-shirt. Honestly, that's a- I got the feeling.
I got the feeling. Oh, Doug got the feeling.
Yeah, I got the tingle. That's my husband, Doug. He's in the
green room, which he might've been sitting in before this, but might've not been confused.
I saw a lot of stuff in there.
Yeah.
I had a lot of nut bars for snacks.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And you've got a lot of very impressive friends.
Doug, I told him not to get so many nut bars.
There's a whole bar of nut bars.
Yes.
Instead of kind bars, you save somebody
who got business-like bars.
That's right.
That's right.
Also, famously the opposite of mine.
Yes.
I took some saltines,
just kind of crushed them into the couch cushions too.
Oh sure.
That's great.
To give it that real feel.
I saw Ena Gardner has been here.
You know those comedians are always mainlining saltines.
Is that one of the names you put on their Ena Garten?
I saw that. Yeah. Again, it's a different timeline. Very eclectic. She does a real tight ten.
Okay, so fine. If you weren't necessarily, was this the first time you had done this howling
or was this spontaneous? A lot of, you know, lightning can strike twice is the sort of thing it was.
Oh, it's happened before.
Yeah, that's what they always say.
No, lightning can strike twice.
I made some friends.
Okay.
How many friends are we talking about?
James says several.
Several implies three or more.
That's what I always say.
Right? I disagree.
Really? How many are you thinking?
A couple is two.
A couple is two.
Few is three.
Oh. Several is seven. Several is four.
Several is seven.
Seven, oh, hard seven with a bullet.
There were, well, that's crazy.
There were seven of us including myself.
Wow, burnt.
You were right.
And what were their names?
Oh gosh, we don't even exchange names.
Oh, you don't?
Wow.
That's convenient.
No, I only know Debra,
but we don't refer to each other by name.
Do you pretend to not know each other?
Oh, it's a, so one thing leads to another,
you know the bingo night?
Sure.
I go there.
I usually don't even get a card.
I'm just, I like the chaos of it.
I love seeing people happy.
The winners are so happy.
Yeah, but it is very intense.
It's an intense night.
Well, it's Jingo Bingo, which is a,
it's a very overtly patriotic bingo night.
I love that.
Everyone's wearing American flag stuff.
It's intense, but it gives you,
it reminds you, oh, we're part of this.
And Tim Ternickett plays,
and he shoots the ceiling every time.
And instead of saying bingo.
Yes. Yeah, Tim's there.
And after somebody else, they go, everyone else yell America.
The trumpets come out, the bugle.
Yeah, there's a horn section.
There's a band. It's an environment.
Oh, it sure is.
It is an environment. True.
I made friends with Deb at bingo night. OK.
So now that's one of the gals. That's one. That's the only one. I know when you know the name. I find out with Deb at bingo night. Okay. So now that's one of the gals.
That's one.
That's the only one I know.
The only one you know the name of.
Did you ever find out your name by the way?
Glenton.
Glenton.
That's right.
Which I love.
I love that name.
It's a beautiful name.
It is.
Thank you.
I wish I knew where it came from.
I was going to ask you and I realized you wouldn't know.
But we might get to the bottom of it.
Again, just for everyone keeping track at home, keeping score.
We've got Cracker Barrel, Wallet, Operation Desert Storm.
I think that's it.
Bingo.
Well, bingo, but I don't know.
But that was recently.
That was recently.
But I remember it.
Okay, I think we're trying to go.
I think we're looking for harder evidence.
I don't know how we're gonna figure this thing out.
So I don't, and we might not, we don't promise to.
Yeah, I think we need to focus on the memories you have
before you stopped dissociating.
Yes.
Okay.
Well, anyway, Deb bought me a bingo sheet one day
and I told her I don't use the sheet.
Right, you just go for the atmosphere.
I just like to be in the atmosphere.
And she said, tonight you're gonna use the sheet.
My name's Deborah.
Oh, wow.
And I thought, my God god I've got something's
going on here. Yeah. People don't usually talk to me like this or anything so we held hands for a
second. Oh that's lovely. And I think when I replay it she was shaking my hand. Oh when you
replay it in your mind okay. I thought we were holding hands.
So we sat in that for a minute. Okay.
And then.
What does that mean?
I was gripping her hand against her will, ultimately.
Oh, because you thought it was a hold
and she thought it was a catch and release.
Okay.
That's exactly right.
But she was very gracious about the whole thing.
I snapped out of it.
I was kind of gone when I was touching her hand.
And I snapped out.
Do you remember where you went?
It was-
What did you see?
It was stormy.
Okay.
But a nice storm.
Oh, okay.
A warm sort of a tropical storm.
A quiet storm.
Storm.
What?
Quiet storm?
A quiet storm.
Shade?
There was no sound. There was no sound. That's a quiet storm. A very quiet storm. Shuddy? There was no sound.
There was no sound, that's a quiet storm.
A very quiet storm.
So you can see what, thunder and lightning or?
I could feel the warm rain.
Oh, you were outside.
Oh, that's lovely.
I was outside.
You were outside.
So she's outside in the warm rain.
No sound though.
There's never sound.
What do you, what does that mean?
In your memories you mean?
Yeah.
When these memories flash, there's no sound, okay.
So you're in your cracker barrel, you don't know. When these memories flash there's no sound. Okay.
Throwing your Cracker Barrel, you don't know how tall you are and you can't hear anything.
Right.
Which Cracker Barrel, famously noisy.
But I can see the IgnoRamus.
Oh.
You know, the Peg Game?
Is that what it's called?
No, that's one of the, that's the worst ranking.
Oh.
That seems harsh for a Peg Game.
Wait, which Peg Game?
Are you thinking about the Peg Game?
I'm thinking about the Peg Game.
Oh, that's a great one.
I'm thinking about the Peg Game.
I'm thinking about the Peg Game.
I'm thinking about the Peg Game.
I'm thinking about the Peg Game. I'm thinking about the Peg Game. I'm thinking about the Peg Game. I'm thinking about the Peg Game. I'm thinking about the Peg Game. Oh, that seems hard.
Which game are you thinking about?
Cribbage?
It sort of looks like a triangle.
Yeah.
And that I try to jump.
I have no idea.
You're trying to jump pegs to eliminate all the pegs.
Yes.
And it tells you a chart of if you get this many left, if you get, and the memory is me
registering, I got the ignoramus. And that's a real thing. You're called the, that is what a rude game.
Well, I mean, I don't know. How are you ignorant if you didn't win the peg game? This seems very important because that is a sort of, if you're a child and you're playing that,
that's very formative. And also if you know what the word ignoramus is, you have to be of a certain
age. Yes. That's a, that's a pretty big word for a little kid know what the word ignoramus is, you have to be of a certain age.
Yes.
That's a pretty big word for a little kid.
All right.
So this is another clue.
Unless you've been called it a lot.
And see, I think you were where you called it a lot.
I don't know.
But in the memory, I understand it
in a way that makes me think maybe I was familiar with that.
Oh, I think you definitely were.
Yeah.
I'm not a licensed therapist, but I think you definitely were.
I'd love to have another swing at that game.
Oh, like maybe that's redemption of some sort.
Yeah.
Do you think that would unlock your memories if you played the Cracker Barrel Triangle
Pegboard game?
I would be willing to try.
Oh, you think she was playing it there.
Oh, maybe she was playing at a Cracker Barrel.
Yeah, that's good.
Well, now, in your memory, were you playing the game?
You just see it and you see the rank, ignoramus.
I was ignoramus.
You were ignoramus.
I had the amount of pegs.
Uh-huh.
I checked the key.
That qualifies you for.
I look at the key to see the ranking.
Uh-huh.
The news comes in, memory over,
is the feeling washes over me.
Oh.
Memory over. This is like a video game. Memory over. God, can you imagine? memory over is the feeling washes over me.
This is like a video game. Memory over. God, can you imagine?
Like a card slides into your brain.
Memory over.
Now I'm going to sidestep for a minute.
Can we talk about Scottie Simpson?
Was it? Was it Scottie Simpson?
The one that suggested, oh I'm sorry, Sandy.
Yes.
I think it's Sandy.
It's Sandy Simpson.
Call the chief of police.
Can you talk to us about him? Or is that a she? Yeah's Sandy. It's Sandy Simpson. Call the chief of police. Can you talk to us about him?
Sandy?
Or is that a she?
Yeah, I don't know Sandy Simpson.
Oh, he texted back and told me to call the chief of police.
Okay, I don't know Sandy Simpson.
I don't know Sandy either.
I don't know Sandy either.
I think it's a lie.
You think it's a lie?
I think that this person,
James.
Ultimately could be the chief of police.
Oh, you.
During the whole run around.
So it seems like they got a call.
I think he's been after me.
Tim.
Yes.
Oh.
I think this was the excuse he needed.
He sees me who, again, I've minded my own business
for a long time.
One time I have fun.
Yes.
And other reasons probably.
Oh, but you can't.
I was gonna ask what they were,
but when she said probably,
I thought maybe we don't have that list.
It just seems right.
I get that.
Why make a mess?
Yeah, absolutely.
I have one fun day.
And guess who shows up?
Yes, the howling.
Tim Ternickett.
It was a lot of fun.
So he shows up at your house, what happened? Yes, the howling. Tim Ternickett. It was a lot of fun. So he shows up at your house.
What happened?
I answer the door.
I have on a traditional outfit.
Oh, that's interesting.
She's including what she's wearing.
Just a traditional outfit.
What does traditional mean to you?
What does that mean?
Well, it's an outfit that people sort of understand.
So it's traditional. I wasn't taking any risks. Like a dress. It's an outfit that people sort of understand.
So it's traditional.
I wasn't taking any risks.
Like a dress.
Oh, you mean any risks that day you woke up
or was it because Tim knocked on your door
you threw something different on?
I had had a wild morning.
Pants on the legs.
The pants were on the legs.
It was a pair of pants.
That's where they go, baby.
Just totally traditional socks and shoe. Totally traditional, yep.
Socks and shoe.
And shoe.
I had on a shell.
A shell?
Oh!
Sort of a shell.
Oh, you're miming a necklace.
She's miming on her necklace.
Okay, like a shell necklace, like a puka situation.
Just a pretty shell necklace.
Okay.
And a top and a cardigan buttoned. One button. Sweet. That's the one. I open the door.
Okay. I say, well, to what do I owe the pleasure? Oh, that's something I've always wanted to say.
How did it feel? How did it feel? I was shaking. I was excited to say it. Again, this was the same day that I'd been howling.
Yeah, of course.
So I am on another level energetically than where I'm usually operating from.
Now at this point, you have no suspicion that Tim Turnequin is showing up for you, that you've done something wrong.
Oh, right. You don't know he knows about the Howling. I do have a suspicion.
Oh.
Because I just have such, I carry around such guilt, I don't know why.
Oh, we've got to get you caught on that.
But I always assume, oh I did it, I killed him, I don't know.
Oh wait, why would you lead with that?
That was just an example.
Well, pretty specific.
It's the biggest example.
It is the biggest example.
You could have gone with, it's the biggest example. It is the biggest example.
I you could have gone with I left the cabinet door open.
Yep. Yep. Yeah.
I could I you know, I could have left the cabinet.
I said the house.
No, it's too late. It's too late. It's out there.
I didn't mean to kidnap them. Things like that.
Do you have flashes that could indicate what you might be guilty feeling guilty over?
I can imagine all those things listed,
but I've seen a lot of films.
Really, including Desert Storm?
Why do you feel guilty?
You've seen a lot of films.
Oh, so I don't know what's what, honestly.
So you're saying some of your memories
could actually be just moments from movies.
That's right.
Oh, I see.
That's tricky.
That is really tricky.
That's tricky.
I wonder how Desert Storm factors into that
between the guilt and the film.
It's a good question.
The way I remember that is the,
there were ribbons.
Right.
Oh, sure. Yeah.
People were talking ribbons around trees.
I loved that.
It's a happy memory, actually.
Oh, okay.
No disrespect to the troops.
I understand.
Or the victims.
Oh dear. I don't know. Well,
history's so gray. Oh boy. So true. I'd hate to take a side on this. It's very gray. Because
everything we say we have to think eventually this will be history. That's right. So let's not
be too black and white about things. Exactly. Just now. So you can't be too black and white
about things. You really can't. Because you might be wrong in a hundred years. That's true.
And then people are gonna look back at you.
Yeah.
And now you're the bad guy.
Oh, you did kill him.
You come back to this killing someone, this is twice now.
And it's hard not to dig a little deeper.
But before we do, I just wanna know what,
just finish what happened with Tim.
So you said, what was your famous line?
Do I owe the honor? That's right, do I owe the pleasure? Yeah. Like a Bette Davis movie. Yeah. Oh,
I wish. I hear you. And he says, hello, I'm here on business. Oh, okay. I'm immediately off
kilter. Sure. Because it's weird that he felt he had to qualify that.
Very odd thing for a policeman to say.
Very strange.
I'm here on business.
We've never been anywhere together on pleasure.
That's never on pleasure.
He just threw me off.
I was already nervous because I had had this crazy morning.
Of course.
I said, well, can I get you something? I regret that. Oh, I sure.
I was trying, I was a people pleaser in that moment trying to get him something.
And he said he just ate. You know what he smells like. Yeah. Smelled like that meat.
And then it was upsetting, the whole thing. And then he said, who have you been associating with, Glendon?
That tone.
I'm a 57 year old woman.
Okay, who have I been associating with?
Is it, again, I'm off my game.
And I said, well, I have friends all over this town.
Okay.
And is that true?
It's not true. And it escalated things in a way.
Oh, wow.
I got cuffed.
What?
He took it as a challenge.
Well, I pushed him when I said it.
Okay.
Well.
But it was a little, it was a,
in my mind, we were flirting or something.
Ooh.
But that wasn't the case.
It wasn't the case.
Okay.
He said he got reports of some activity.
Uh-huh.
And I said-
But you think he's making up those reports,
just making up people who-
I think he just saw us.
Yeah, he just saw you.
I think he saw us.
And to cover his bases,
he creates a dummy account on NeighborHab.
Yes, yes, that's right.
And then- James.
James.
Then he makes up this person-
It's a dumb name.
Yeah, it's a very-
It's a very- It's a perfect cover. And then he makes up this person. It's a dumb name. Yeah, it's a very, really, it's a perfect cover.
And then he makes up this Sandy person.
No, but you don't know him.
I don't know him.
No, we don't know him.
Why can't James just say, I called the police?
I don't know why.
He has to tell you, he's blamed.
He needs to get two steps away from him.
Everybody's blaming, it's weird.
The whole thing is weird.
I've been dissecting that thing.
Like you mentioned, no punctuation.
So did he put you in the car, take you to the station?
What happened?
Well, but also who says call the chief of police?
That's right.
People don't say that.
You're right that they call the police.
That's a very good point.
People say call the police.
It's too specific.
I saw women howling, call the chief of police.
Call the chief of police.
Because I was, I calmed down pretty quick once he had the cuffs on
me. Oh, you calmed down when you had the cuffs on you. It sedated me. I think that's worth
noting. I think that's worth it. That doesn't flash your memory. The comfort of handcuffs.
I feel handcuffs and the guilt of a quiet storm. I'm trying to figure out. Again, it's just a texture memory.
I feel metal.
Okay.
I can't move around much.
She's struggling a little in her chair in real time.
I'm reliving what I can.
She's reliving it.
She was deeking.
She was deeking and juking.
Yes, juking.
I was never deeking.
I don't know, but juking, I'm familiar.
I've never heard.
Do you sound familiar?
I've never heard deeking.
Why am I? I was honored. I've never heard deking. Why am I?
I was honored.
You thought I could deke.
Got to save that.
That's fair, because Glendon doesn't know
if deking is real or not.
She doesn't have these memories.
Certainly don't.
And I've never been involved in dance, believe it or not.
Oh, well, yes, it did look like a dance move.
So when you have the cuffs on, you're feeling comfort. Am I correct? I'm feeling calm. Wow. Different than comfort.
Oh, yeah, I guess so. I am not activated, but I'm also, I'm not happy. Sure. You know,
who would be? And he says, tell me about this morning and who you were with. And I said I was with some friends
and I was releasing some stuff.
Okay.
And he said, go on.
Oh, okay.
I remember this conversation clear as day.
Oh, you clearly do.
Sounds like you do, absolutely.
Because of the work me and the women have been doing.
It's opening up the pathways.
So anyway, one thing comes to another.
Why these old way, I'm mad at him.
Sure, he's saying these old women.
He said old women.
In the group, there are a few of sort of my peers.
And then there's people on both sides.
Your age cohort.
That's right. Deborah and I are pretty even Steven age wise, but if you were the other gals.
Some in their 30s, some in their 20s.
And some.
And he called them old.
Much older.
And some much older.
Oh, wow. Okay.
There's some young women.
It's important to keep in mind that Tim Ternikin himself is 26 years old.
That is a good lens with which to see this because-
And he became the chief of police
because we have a system, it's sort of hierarchical.
So his father, the former chief of police died.
And he became-
And like a movie, it is silly.
There was a hallway of just, you know,
like first there's a lithograph, then there's paintings,
then there's photos, and they really do all look the same.
And they have the same goatee.
The squinty eye one.
The same goatee. The same goatee.
The one portrait where you, it was in that phase where everything was those squinty eye pictures.
Oh yes, sure.
There's a magic eye.
Yeah, there's one where it follows you.
There's a squinty eye one, there's one where his eyes follow you.
Where he looks like chief police and then he looks like a ghoul. That's what they need to get those courtroom artists on
is more stuff like that.
Sure, I agree.
Pick a genre.
I agree.
Pick a genre indeed.
Give us a topic and show us a world, you know?
Like the green room.
Like the green room.
I loved my time in there.
Oh, I'm so glad.
Big ups to your man.
Well, here he can hear you, babe.
She's giving you a compliment.
Is that nice?
I hope it doesn't get to the point where it's like the movie Avatar,
where a lot of people leave the green room and then become despondent that they're no longer
in that world. Right. Cause they just truly have time hopped or at least timeline hopped.
Timeline hopped. It was a rich lore. I was good. Good. Good. I never saw Doug though.
That's interesting.
I let the talent have the room to this. That's very nice.
Very considerate. It felt cool.
Oh good. That's how green room should be. It should feel cool.
As cool as metal on your wrist.
Almost. But this guy, my heart racing instead of slowing down.
So then you say to him, he, he says, do you go on?
And you just described more about sort of the releasing
and the ladies or what did you say?
I said, what did I do that's illegal?
Good question.
That is a terrific question.
Really good question.
Because not-
I mean, she did push him.
What's real-
But the reason he showed up at her door
was not because of that.
But it was on my property.
I still don't understand those rules.
That's right.
I guess, if I can't do that. I feel like the, the, the idea that someone would
show up at your home after this howling incident, which there is nothing illegal about. Well,
it turns out the illegal part was the nudity. There we go. You did not mention that. And
strangely neither did James. Yeah. Which is again, I think it's our guy.
James slash Tim.
Covering his tracks.
Yeah. Absolutely.
Right? Because he's going to be seeing like a pervert.
So you, you were all unclothed.
Well then why wouldn't he?
I don't know. I haven't figured it all out.
I'm just telling you what I've tried to put together.
You, you were right to just cut me off at the pass.
Why would I ask?
It's rude, it feels. Oh, I'm sorry, I do apologize.
No, it's okay, it's okay.
Go on, I'm sorry.
I don't remember what I was gonna say.
It's a little hard to think,
because now I'm picturing the nude howling.
He could have, in order to avoid looking like a pervert,
he leaves out the nudity,
but I feel like he could have worked a little harder
on his fake persona to Yes to structure in a way
He could say like and my kids were seeing this right that would have been a good move because we agreed
Just thinking so you came home from the new telling then you did put clothes on and we had our clothes nearby
nearby
was nearby under a log. Oh, you had them nearby.
Under a log?
Yeah.
Okay.
Just one of the street logs on Garfield?
You probably know the log.
I know the logs on Garfield, yeah.
Yeah, we really can't get anyone to-
Was it the wishing log?
It was the wishing log.
Oh.
We can't get anyone to clean up Garfield,
so we just, people decided to give meaning
to some of this stuff that's lying around,
and one of them became the wishing log.
Yeah, kids crawl through the log.
They make the wish in the log, And then if they're able to get out
the other side, the wish will come true. A lot of them are wishing to get out.
That is one of the major reasons paramedics are called because a kid gets stuck in the log.
Yeah, they never just back out. Well, they don't back out because they want,
they know their wish isn't going to come true. So they have to literally, it's like a negotiation.
They have to bring in a log negotiator. The spines in the log, if you back up,
it's like the things where if you back up on the tire.
The treadles.
Yeah.
What are they called?
Treadles.
Treadles.
That's a nice name for a scary thing.
And I constantly live in fear that just somehow something's
going to happen in the middle of going over it that will
cause me to go backwards.
I'm glad.
I don't feel alone, Glendon.
There's nothing more terrifying on Earth
than going over those things.
I'm sure every time is the last time.
100%.
100%.
Nothing more terrifying. Every time is the last time. You know, the sign used to say, do not back up treadles cause severe tire damage. And then they, I guess they, people
were asking too much. What are treadles? Well, it sounds so cute. It does sound cute. I love
a treadle. People are too curious actually.
Yeah.
Are we going to release the treadles?
I don't want to run over my treadles.
Don't get a treadle wet.
That's the Gremlins movie I saw.
Hey!
Or the El Damage Retires.
That's another memory.
Was it Gremlins one or two?
What's the difference?
That might be too much to ask.
The one has Gremlins.
Only one has a personality.
Number two, all these Gremlins have personalities. All of them do. Oh,lins, only one has a personality.
Number two, all these gremlins have personalities.
All of them do, oh, got it.
One's a lady.
And one's named Spike.
That's the one I saw with the beautiful woman.
So that's the first one.
Beautiful woman.
Wasn't that Spike dressed in draft, right?
No, that was the second one.
Oh, okay.
Okay, so that was the second one.
The first one much more serious than the second one.
So gremlins too, desert storm,
ignoramus, cracker bell, or wallet,
and the cooling calming of handcuffs.
And a tropical storm.
And a tropical quiet storm.
A quiet storm, yes.
I know sound to any of the-
Guilt.
I'm gonna circle back really quick
because I know you asked a question.
Yes, they bring out a log negotiator
to get the kids to go out.
Because he really has to sit and talk to them
because they know if they back out,
their wish will not come true.
But the other end of the log, it's too small.
It is.
The aperture is too small for kids to get in.
Yeah, it seems like it's a real dirty trick.
I mean, it's nature's trick,
but it didn't know it was going to be turned
into a wishing log for crying out loud.
It should have been cleared years ago.
And it always ends the same way with a log negotiator,
upending the log and shaking the kid out of the log.
So sad.
It's so sad. That's why me and the gals, we just put our clothes under it.
That's very smart.
We didn't throw in the log at all.
We didn't mess with, even though it's hollow,
didn't mess with putting it in.
Smart.
Because we've seen such stuff.
So how did, we keep following this narrative
of you and Tim, how did, once you've talked a bit,
we just, well, because I want to stay on it
because I want to know how it ended.
Yes. Oh, well, I wouldn't to stay on it because I want to know how it ended. Yes.
Oh, well, I wouldn't give up the names.
Good for you.
I didn't know them.
I didn't just get stitches.
Oh, you know them.
I told them about Deborah.
That's also true, yeah.
Because that's the only name I knew.
Yes.
But the other gals, I don't even know their names.
Yeah.
But had you met them before?
I can't remember.
We had one other instance of a sort of a woods happening.
This was at night.
It's interesting.
She described it as an incident, you know,
because that usually.
What other incidents?
A get together, I guess.
Sure, but did something happen?
I mean, I think the horses left the barn.
You did call it an incident.
It makes me want to know what that was.
Well, Debra is the big connector here.
Sure.
Um,
so I think all of us probably have met Deborah. And, you know, I told her how I told
you how I met her. She bought the bingo sheet. She's just one of those people. All of us
have met Deborah without really realizing it. Yeah. Is she the one that dresses up as
Ben Franklin? Oh, is that what it is? Yeah. I never know what that was.
So a big triangular hat, little glasses, long white hair.
Curly.
I don't know about curly.
Well, I mean-
It has body.
Yeah, there.
I think if Ben Franklin's hair is very blank.
Doesn't he have a skullet?
Sorry.
He does have a skullet, but he wears a hat.
True. A skullet meaning? he wears a hat. True.
A skullet meaning?
Bald with long hair.
Oh, right, right, right.
That's right.
But I don't know, I'm curious if Debra does the bald cap
under the hat, under the tricorder hat?
I wonder, I don't never-
She is bald.
Oh, so that answers the question.
Okay.
The costume makes sense then.
Yeah.
So the other incident was?
Deb said,
Hey, Glendon, meet me in the woods tonight.
Nobody asked me to do much stuff, right?
So I said, I'll see, but I knew I was going to do it.
Yeah, you knew.
I always knew I was, she said 11.30
and she said down by the creek, not creek, but creek.
Definitely.
There is a difference.
I pretended I knew what that I had to ask around.
I went to the library.
Oh, you didn't know the word creek.
I didn't know we had one either.
Well, you know, Dainty Falls has lost all its water.
So anything that was once something like a creek
or a river is not, is no longer.
And the creek bed is narrow. It's narrow. That's how you know. It sure is. That's one of the defining features, I think, of a creek or a river is not, is no longer. And the creek bed is narrow.
It's narrow, that's how you know.
It sure is, that's one of the defining features,
I think, of a creek, but ours is really,
it's also just the sound that it makes when you step on it,
because there is no water, it's just dead frog carcasses.
Somebody's gotta clear those away.
But who's gonna do it?
It's like when you step on them,
they emit finally their last croak.
I feel as if they, why do they keep going back there?
Is it a sort of like elephant's graveyard for frogs?
That's where they all go.
And why are they still sort of puffed up?
It's weird.
It's like they die.
Like, yeah, that's just it.
That's why you're releasing that last bit of air.
Because you'll poke one and then it'll just tip over like in a movie.
They don't realize someone's dead sitting in a chair and they
shake the shoulder and then the person steps over.
See the knife in the back. I know exactly what you're talking about.
Of course. Oh, I didn't notice half of their face was gone.
Horrible realization. When you say people don't ask you to do stuff a lot, what is your day to day?
That's a great question, Burns.
I do do the paper like you guys start out do the whole paper front to back.
You gotta do the whole thing.
You gotta do the whole thing.
You gotta do the whole thing.
Even if it's a bit of an eye roller, I'm doing the whole thing.
Okay.
And you know the articles I'm talking about
and you know who wrote them.
Mitch McNutt for one.
That's our town critic, of course,
for anyone who's forgotten.
Town critic is awful.
You know, to be a critic, you should have taste.
Thank you, Glendon!
Oh, I couldn't have prayed more, Glendon!
Oh, wow.
I'm sorry, I think I'm coming out of my shell today.
I think so!
It seems like you are. I never told anybody how I felt about
Mitch. Oh, well, you found the right podcast for that.
This cop shoving woman is coming out of her shell.
Did Tim leave you alone or did he actually take you into custody?
Okay. So he took me in. Okay. Well, it was an offsite prison.
What? Oh dear.
I...
Black site?
It was, I don't know what was going on.
Did they put a bag over your head?
Oh no.
To transport you?
They just told me to close my eyes and I did.
Oh, the honor system.
They just trusted you.
Honor system.
It was a little room I ended up in.
Okay.
Asked me lots of questions.
He's really trying to get to the bottom of these women,
especially one of the younger women. Oh, now this is gross. Now I understand. I keep saying,
I don't know. I only met these gals one other time and it was dark. And it, because of the incident,
we weren't getting to know each other as much as we were trying to cover something up. Oh,
what happened? What were you trying to cover something up. Oh, what happened?
What were you trying to cover up?
Well, the crick thing, I find that when I go to the crick, I'm there an hour early.
It's embarrassing.
So I hide behind a tree.
I just wasn't, what if it's the wrong spot?
What if I'm going to be like, again, I don't go many places.
I don't want to upset Deb.
It felt cool to be asked to do something at night.
Absolutely.
Worried I'd fall asleep if I was at home.
No, I won't fall asleep.
You fall asleep if you are at home.
What do you mean?
Maybe you get tired.
Maybe you have an earlier bedtime.
Yeah, I'm usually in bed at 830.
Okay, oh, you're worried you fall asleep because.
If I'm at home, I'm going to be in my rhythm.
So I'm going to be, I have a very particular way I do things.
So if I'm at home at 830, I'm going to be, I have a very particular way I do things. So if I'm at home at eight 30, I'm asleep and I've taken all the steps to get there.
If you know what I mean.
So, I mean, we don't, but I, I mean, I don't want my steps are to get there, but why do
I feel like yours are very different?
Well, I don't know what yours are.
There's liquid based.
Oh, there's a ritual, a
breathing thing, a texture thing. And that's the last step.
All right. You don't handcuff yourself, but we're going to sleep, do you?
What?
You don't handcuff yourself, but we're going to sleep, do you?
That's a great idea, actually. I don't. I haven't, but I love that. Then you'd know
where you are, which is a worry.
I guess that's one way to look at it.
Can I ask you this?
And this is going to sound strange and like out of left field.
Have you ever been bitten by a wolf?
Oh my gosh, Bert, I was just going to ask the same thing.
I feel like-
I was just going to ask.
You started talking and I went, werewolf.
We're leading up to something.
This is why the memories come in a flash
because you know, it's just clipping between wolf
and human, wolf and human.
And the guilt is from prolly acting
Wait, what am I doing?
From doing people.
What am I?
This is our suspicion.
Okay.
And suspicion, we don't mean that in a pejorative way.
Okay.
Pejorative, is it kind of jam?
It really should be.
Actually, it really should be.
It sounds like a great jam descriptor.
It really does.
This is pejorative.
I don't mean it in a negative way.
Okay.
It's value neutral, suspicious.
This is just something we're trying to figure out.
Yeah, it's just another question.
Because you have this dissociative history,
you just have flashes of memories.
There's something that's calming to you
about being handcuffed,
and you're afraid of your nighttime routine.
Yes, and comfortable being naked and howling.
And you say there was no moon, but howling is howling.
Well, we were in female form at the moon thing.
I know for the howling thing for certain, I know because Tim saw it all.
Sure.
So I know I was not in wolf form at the time.
But the moon may not have been full. The moon wasn't even there.
When you say it wasn't there, what time of day was this? It was about 730 AM.
Remember, because she said it happened the same day. So that actually does make sense. I do believe
that they were all just standing out there naked in the daytime and nothing happened.
We weren't standing. We were hustling.
What does that mean?
We wanted to do the whole cul-de-sac.
You were dancing the hustle.
We were deeking.
It is a traveling dance.
By the way, I found out what deeking means.
Oh, you did?
The reason we didn't know it is because it's a hockey term.
Oh.
You know what's crazy?
I was going to suggest it as a hockey term.
Yes. And I just thought, oh, well, I don't want to be ignorant and
ignoramus. Nobody wants to be an ignoramus into this.
So the wolf of it all like entropy, Doug, he's been waiting to say that
for the last five minutes. I guarantee you he's been waiting for a window.
I think it might be pronounced the camp. Oh, I'm sorry. Do that again, babe. The variable variable new bar.
Yep. New bar for sure. Um, what did you say? I don't think I said anything.
Oh, I thought you were. So the cracker barrel thing. Oh, so the memories,
maybe this happened when you were very young. Also, maybe you were howling at 7 a.m.
because you had been a wolf the night before.
Yes.
And that's why you had no clothes on.
Also, maybe she was hired as a secret government weapon
during the Desert Storm.
That's also great.
Thank you.
I love these possibilities.
I honestly hadn't gone any of these places.
I thought, you know, like a bad home situation.
I killed my dad and my brother.
And-
Oh, wait.
I know that's-
Is that what you're saying happened?
No, that is not what happened.
Well, but that would make a lot of sense.
Are your dad and your brother still with us?
I don't know.
I don't know that I had them.
She doesn't know anything.
Oh, I see.
It's very specific to say dad and brother.
Yeah, it really is.
But not know if you have them.
That's right.
Anyway, I am answering questions and I can't tell them who the
young one was because I don't know her name. I understand the
interest because like what you said sort of value neutral what
I'm going to say this young one had a beautiful body.
I don't think bodies matter, but I can see...
That's an interesting thing to say.
It's a very interesting thing to say.
You know, who can help it to have a body?
Right.
Okay.
So, here we are.
Yeah.
Indeed.
But I could see the reason for interest in this gal.
And so I tell him, I say,
I think you're just trying to go on a date with this gal. Right. And so I tell him, I say, I think you're just trying
to go on a date with this gal.
He gets real offended.
And then he said somebody posted my bail and he let me go.
Wow.
What were you charged with?
We skipped past that part.
And assaulting an officer.
Sure.
A chief.
Yeah, the chief.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, the chief.
Yeah. OK. And, the chief. Yeah.
Okay.
And, Burn, did you have a question?
I just wanted to clear my name.
No, sure.
Absolutely.
I think we're all just skipping past the whole werewolf.
Well, that's what's weird.
I think we all just, it's the hundred pound werewolf in the room.
And it's weird that we're not following up on this.
I got bit by a dog on this. And I actually-
I got bit by a dog.
Okay.
But I don't think it was a wolf.
Right.
Well.
And would you know the difference?
Can you tell me when you wake up
sometimes handcuffed to the bed?
Oh, I'm not, no, I haven't handcuffed myself yet.
You haven't?
No, you wish that you had done that.
You pitched it.
And I said, great idea. It's a great had done that. You pitched it. Yeah.
You did pitch it.
And I said, great idea.
It's a great idea, yeah.
I see.
Okay.
But I wake up often.
I guess we did run with that idea.
Not in my bed.
You don't wake up in your bed.
Where do you wake up?
Often.
Oh, near the wishing log a lot.
Yeah.
This is, I mean, this really.
Yeah.
And then sometimes just random businesses.
Random businesses?
And do you see- I woke up outside of your pharmacy.
Have you really?
Does it look like there's been a struggle
when you wake up wherever you are in these businesses?
Broken glass, blood, what does your body look like?
Do you have scrapes?
My body-
You have a torn shirt and just pants
that are somehow frayed at the-
My pants are always frayed
and kind of like a high water cut.
Sure, sure, sure. That's not what I buy. I like a high water cut. Sure, sure, sure.
That's not what I buy.
No, no.
I like a modest jean.
First of all, you want something that fits.
Yes.
Yeah, and usually a slash on the top.
Though there's usually a slash on your body?
Oh, just on the top.
Oh, just on the top.
I'm fine underneath, but the top is slashed.
Interesting.
Okay, all right.
I don't know.
I never knew what that was about. That's what I told you I keep to myself. All right. I don't know. I know. I never knew what that was about.
That's what I told you. I keep to myself. Of course. I don't want to be, you know, knowing
stuff. You know, the only thing I'm having a hard time. The only thing I'm having a hard
time threading through is the wallet. Did you solve cracker barrel? What did I want?
You solved cracker barrel.
And what was the tropical storm?
Well, here's what I'm thinking.
I'm thinking, I'm thinking that there's a lot of loose threads.
I'm thinking this is, this is, and I guess I didn't share this with the group, but in
my head, uh, what I thought was, Oh, I think cracker barrel is the place of the, the origin
of in terms of when the brother and the dad died
I do think the game was being played there. I think that for the last time ignoring miss happened
And I don't know how to work out that it was a full moon that night
But that is what I think I think she transformed. Thank you. I think that that makes it a lot easier. I
Think that she transformed I think there was a a massive accident at a Cracker Barrel.
And if you probably Google that, you'd find that, you know,
someone just said there was a wild animal or something.
Here's what I think.
Okay.
I think the site of the first transformation
was Cracker Barrel.
I agree, yes.
I think it happened after the playing of the Peg game
where Glendon was deemed an ignoramus.
This is what I just said.
I'm expecting.
Okay.
I think chaos is a good thing.
I think chaos is a good thing.
I think chaos is a good thing.
I think chaos is a good thing. I think chaos chaos ensued.
I think that dad in his last act on this earth, cut out his wallet to pay for the damages.
Oh.
Wow. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.
Oh.
Wow.
Which is extraordinary because if we're in the past,
like the 80s and the 70s,
whatever he had in his wallet would never cover the damages.
No, but he's just been attacked by a werewolf.
But I think that that's a very-
He just saw her transforming into a werewolf and attacked her.
It was more of a gesture, I guess.
That is a real lovely gesture.
Yeah, more of a gesture.
And more so why Glendon has feelings of guilt.
Oh, gosh. Yes.
Well, I heard about your t-shirt goosebumps.
I'm getting those t-shirt goosebumps.
Oh no, I worry about it.
I mean, when she starts looking at her body and getting goosebumps, it makes me worry.
That was scary.
I got a little...
That was, oh, what's happening?
I have a feeling in my stomach.
Am I a werewolf?
Well, Glendon, I think you might be.
If you find yourself naked in the morning with a group of ladies, you might be.
You might be.
You might be.
You might be.
You might be. You might be. You might be. You might I think you might be. If you find yourself naked in the morning
with a group of ladies, you might just be a werewolf.
I could get you a best out.
And other gals aren't wolves though.
Oh, I think they definitely are.
I think you're a pack.
I don't think that just random women.
I think that's also the difference in ages.
I think you're a pack.
And also don't you remember when you think
she held your hand, you were imprinting on each other at that moment.
You were absolutely having a moment.
Oh, Twilight is real.
Wow.
Glendon.
I don't know.
I feel like I have a lot of people on the podcast before.
You probably do.
You probably do.
And some of them will probably not hear it because they're dead.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The other, yeah.
It might explain all the missing persons files.
Yes.
In Dignity Falls.
We have so many.
Per capita.
We don't need to look into that though.
Well, I mean.
If everyone's at peace.
For the families.
Hmm.
Oh.
I mean, this is quite, what was that? Oh was that? Oh no. See also the sounds, the sounds
make me concerned as well. Some ins are turning into a werewolf and regretful about it. I
don't know much about this culture. I'm part of, I got most of my information just now.
This is a lot, Glennon, to be fair, this is a lot and it's happening in real time
in front of strangers and I'm so sorry for that. Oh, it's okay. Well, she's a very pleasant
werewolf. I gotta say, really kind. Yeah. I mean, in one world, this is a big relief
for you. Yeah. To understand some you. To understand some things.
To understand some things, to draw some new lines.
That's interesting information.
There's also a lot of pain I'm understanding.
I have and may have caused.
And if I'm correct, my husband has something to say about all this.
I mean, babe, we have a werewolf in the house.
It's been shockingly silent.
I mean, what do you think?
I guess that explains what I'm seeing in the green room.
Oh no.
What are you seeing in the green room, Doug?
That was a dick move, Doug.
I had five minutes to myself before the show.
I was nervous.
I know I was in human form.
Doug, what, what delicately
There's a wet spot in the corner.
A wet spot in the corner.
I don't know.
I probably spilled tea.
Or does maybe she, you know, lift her leg.
It's even in human form.
I think that's what Doug is implying.
Yeah, I think that's what he's implying. That's what I said.
Oh.
Ha ha ha.
So I'm also a man wolf.
Ha ha ha.
That would be the worst news of all.
I should have said that she's squatted.
That is true.
That's a good point.
That's true because of the wolves.
Lady dogs, basically.
Yeah.
They never lift their leg.
But also werewolves, I think, are on two legs.
Oh.
Well, that's a question for Glendon.
Only when they're in the wereform.
Only when they're in the wereform.
I don't think they-
Are they ever in a wolf?
Only when they're in the wereform.
Only when they're in the wereform.
Only when they're in the wereform.
Only when they're in the wereform.
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
I don't know how you guys just did that.
Your lips were moving so fast.
But you're asking, are they ever wolves, just wolves? I don't know much about any of this as it turns out.
It looks like you've got some research to do, Glendon.
I feel bad that we're not sending you out with resources.
She's the pack leader, I say.
Yeah, she's the alpha.
The first incident, we just were women hunting.
So I got a lot of questions for the gals.
We came dead, provided the weapons.
It was sort of a grab bag.
I got lasso.
What is this clue?
That's like getting the net in the Coliseum.
It was a bummer.
I tried to play it off because, again, nobody asked me to do much. So I said yes.
And then just try to-
What would have been your dream weapon?
Well, one of the gals got a crossbow.
Fun.
That one looked good.
Absolutely.
For sure.
You don't even have to know where it just the sending it off as the empowering part.
And with the lasso, it's harder than it looks.
It's a, you know what a lasso is.
Yeah.
Well, of course.
Yeah.
You know how in the pictures they go up and they make a flat circle in the pictures.
You mean like in the movies or like in just illustrations.
Okay.
I was going to say in the pictures sounds older than 57.
Sure does.
Well, I've not seen many movies about them, but I've seen a lot of illustrated cowboy books.
I know what you mean. The kind of hover above the head.
That's right. And it's a flat circle.
I think so. You guys seem like you don't get it.
It's like you're walking a dog.
I'm pretty sure you didn't get it.
You didn't have to lasso-splain to us, babe.
I guess I wasn't thinking of all the pictures.
In all them cowboy books.
Well, I didn't I didn't have a natural touch for it.
Right. You know, that's too bad.
Yeah, it's too bad.
Were you able to lasso anything?
I was able to swat some things. With a rope.
That's right.
No kills.
What were you hunting for, if I may ask?
Deb said it didn't matter.
Oh, that's chilling.
Yeah.
That's really scary.
It was so fun.
Oh, see, there's a-
The gals, we did, again, Deb's the connector here.
Yeah.
Most of us, we've never seen him.
I think you keep saying Deb's the connector
in a way that makes you somehow,
it absolves you of all the kidding.
Yes.
And I'm gonna let you know it doesn't.
For sure.
Uh oh.
Oh.
You can't just say Deb's in charge.
This is where-
And you were just following orders.
My husband should be saying overruled,
but these missed his cue.
But I'm sorry that we can't-
He's in that green room frame of mind.
Yeah, I'm relaxed.
It's another world in there, man.
It literally. I hate sending you off with less resources, but we usually say we wish you well.
Well, I got that word lycanthropy.
That's right. You should look that up.
Yeah.
That's something I knew.
Start there.
The handcuff idea.
Start slow, handcuff idea good. Killing humans bad.
I wouldn't know.
Have you ever gone to a therapist?
Nope.
Cause you might could do, you might could.
That stopped me in my tracks.
It sure did.
This isn't to kill a mockingbird.
No.
You might could go to a hypnotherapist.
Oh.
Someone who can probe your memories more deeply.
Yeah.
Because it sounds like you're hiding
a lot of things from yourself.
By the way, I think that we can justify it by,
I might could is what you call a movie
where the romantic couple could meet up,
but they didn't.
It's a might could.
A might could.
It's a classic Hollywood Mike Good.
Classic Mike Good.
Yeah.
Wow.
Okay.
I really, I really-
I'll look into that.
Great.
I, I-
Great.
And-
I feel like we're helping.
Yeah, I really do.
I mean, we do wish you well.
And the best of luck.
And also the best of luck to us all.
And everybody may be on a full moon.
Just keep an eye out. Yes. Like our last guest said. I don't know what the rules are. I don't know if you
if you can find hunt down the wolf that bit you and then kill it and then maybe you will be relieved
from the curse. Yeah I don't know how it works. I don't know the legend. I got bit at a cracker
barrel you're saying? Well I mean we're just positing but but I would also start there. I would maybe look into,
I Google cracker barrel dog, cracker barrel deaths.
That's what I would look into.
Go to the library, check out that microfiche.
I love going fission.
Gotta fiche.
Gone fission.
And then look for something like cracker barrel massacre.
See if you can find something like that.
That's the word. That's the word.
And a little girl could be in the picture and that could be me.
That could be you.
Exactly.
If I was in the paper, that would be the silver lining to this whole mess.
Even if it was for turning into a wolf and massacring an entire Cracker Barrel.
I don't love the content, but I do the paper every day.
Right.
So to find out, I do the jumble.
Part of it.
Oh, that's right.
Did you do today's?
I did not yet.
Tough one?
Yeah.
The jumble?
The jumble.
It's like, it's a Sunday one, but it's on a Tuesday.
Oh, wow.
It's that hard.
That's a toughie.
OK.
So save some time for that one. Well, thanks, Glendon. And
thanks for, I don't know. Uh thanks for sharing your story.
And uh thank you, Glenn. Please take care of yourself and
others. Absolutely. This went differently than I thought.
Thank you. Same. We'll be back when the neighbor listen
returns with us.
with us.
Hello, it's P.J.S.
fasting.
My son does a fasting about every month
for seven days, says his vision is better
and can feel his body healing pain is gone.
Scolius goes to show you what we eat carbs, gluten, preservatives keep our body inflamed.
So I guess if we stick to organic veggies poetry fish our bodies will stay healthy.
Check with your doctor's first maybe try three day fasting.
This is P. Chess, the Oracle of Dignity Falls.
My son is healthy.
Skolios!
And welcome back to the Neighborhood Listen.
Well, that was-
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
A little scary.
Yeah, it really was. I got a little freaked out. Do you think where I mean,
I'm not saying 100% werewolves are real. I know. But she could
think that she's a werewolf and block it out during her. Yeah,
sort of more sane moments. Also, I will say, I never believed in werewolves.
And I think, I just don't think there's a way they exist,
you know, globally, but boy, it would be so dignity falls.
I'm getting my point.
It would be so very dignity falls.
Oh, it would be so very...
Oh, it would be so very, what I mean is it would just be so very diggity falls of us to have a werewolf.
It really is classic diggity falls.
You're right.
You're right.
There's a lot of stories, a lot of stories.
There's so many stories.
A lot of stories in this crazy neighborhood.
You know, we've already had, you know,
people think they saw Bigfoot here several times.
We've had people on.
I mean, yes.
Does it turn out they're just running a goofy marathon?
Yes.
But there's more than that.
A lot of hybrid creatures, spottings, jackalopes.
The thing about the werewolf is that where does,
so the werewolf gets big, right?
Person turns into wolf, get big.
Get big.
Where does the bigness go?
How does it shrink back down to being a person?
Well, I mean, I don't know.
It's like, if you're already talking about something
so other worldly, then why does that logic have to be applied to it, I guess? know, it's like, if you're already talking about something so
otherworldly, then why does that logic have to be applied to it? I guess.
Well, that's the thing.
And really what, what it always brings me back to is a werewolf is just a
murderer who thinks he's a wolf or she in this case, you think that it's,
you call bullshit on people who are aware of, I don't know, I don't have any memory.
I don't think there's any transformation happening.
I think it's just them.
I think a switch flicks in their brain
and they say, I'm a wolf now.
Well, hopefully we'll never know.
Is there late stage werewolvery?
Late age?
Like you could get bitten and then.
Some things can be onset later.
Yeah, can it happen in any time in life?
What a story that would be an old lady, a real older lady who has to just become a werewolf.
Werewolf granny. It's like Little Red Riding Hood.
Werewolf granny. Eli Roth is writing that script somewhere.
We do have a lot of invasive species. She should just stick to those.
Oh, you mean attacking them?
Yeah.
Yeah, we could get her going on our flowers, you know, that are carnivorous.
That caused us so much trouble during allergy season.
Absolutely.
Yeah, she could just start eating those.
She should.
Because they're pretty meaty.
They're very meaty.
They look so delicious.
They're so beautiful and they look so delicious.
They're so beautiful and they look so delicious.
They could feed a family with one.
Probably.
You shouldn't.
All right, we have time for one more post
and this was submitted by a listener.
One of our neighbors, JT Grant three.
Thank you, who submitted before many times.
Okay.
All right, this is in the general section
and this is posted by someone named Maria.
Maria's headline is car bananad.
I live in Dignity Village Apartments.
Maria goes on and I've now woken up twice in the past month
to someone having smeared bananas all over my car.
Oh.
Oh.
My windshield windows and mirrors and handles all covered.
Could be a scornful X,
but also starting to think it's a neighborhood prank.
Has anyone else experienced something like this?
Could be a what?
Is there a picture?
Scornful X, there's not a picture of a scornful X.
Cause I'm wondering, are we talking like full smashed
banana on your, or just a smear?
I'm having a hard time picturing.
Like, you know what I mean.
I think I know what you mean,
but I think if they're gonna go to the...
You think they're gonna answer one?
A light banana film is on your windshield
or it's just full smashed banana?
How could you tell it's a white, a light banana film?
Because I picture,
fair question.
I picture, I picture the banana there.
Do you mean like they left the banana
and then just, yeah, this did this.
This did this.
I am picturing banana chunks on all of these surfaces.
Like they, like one banana per area.
Smush into the rear view mirror.
Smush onto the windshield.
Rude.
What an annoying thing to do.
Cash for the cracker barrel.
And it's interesting that Maria says, could be a scornful ex.
Or it could be an emerald prank.
I mean, how many scornful X's does she have?
And also what would lead you to that? Yes. Unless there's some history of banana play
in the religion. Sounds like she has someone in mind. Oh, you know, this was probably Jake.
I see. I know who did this. we be the grocery gang?
It could be, but this doesn't see it.
This feels really personal.
My first thought was that it would take a whole bunch of bananas.
You can't just do that with one banana.
What she described.
I agree.
I agree.
Unless it was just the film.
That makes me think of the, what one?
A light banana film.
A light banana film.
An LBF. No.
No.
There might be a business we had, the failed business,
a bunch of bananas, which really just did sell bananas.
And which was crazy.
Cause it was like, I can go get those at the grocery store.
How is this business operating with just bananas?
And you know what?
They didn't do banana cream pie.
They didn't do banana smoothies.
Just bananas.
Just bananas.
And those bananas, boy, oh boy, you could, when you went in there, you
could tell, Oh, somebody should have bought these bananas. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
They were, they were, you know, some, some time and they didn't even do a
good job of keeping them. Sometimes they were all brown and then they would just
say, I can make banana bread, which no one ever does. Yeah. Yeah. They might
as well name the store a pre, pre-banana bread.
Pre-banana bread would have been great. And I want everyone to know that when burnt is doing these titles, he's throwing one hand up in the air. Like he's showing us the sign
or doing a commercial for it. Cause I'm throwing my hands up is what I'm doing. Frustrated. This
is ridiculous. And you'd throw both up if you didn't have to hold the microphone. And that store
was only in business for about three years. Which is surprising.
Longer than I thought.
Yeah.
That's a record for a terrible business like that.
Anyway, you know that I saw a picture once of how I think either it's in Japan or Korea,
how they sell a bunch of bananas.
They sell it in its different stages.
So you can buy a bunch.
One is green.
One is like just kind of getting brown.
One is and then one's in like a one is open in sort of like a package
so that you can eat it right away
so that it's perfectly ripe.
So I think that's very smart.
They're different, they're kept in different stages.
Right, so this is not a bunch that is connected
by a central stalk.
I don't believe so, no.
It was like a package.
This is like a package. Correct.
Right. Very smart.
Like the evolution of the banana.
Yes.
Yes, it starts brown at the end, the banana can walk.
Well, the cool thing at Bunch of Bananas
was they would refuse the stock,
so you could get a bunch however many you wanted.
That's true.
You could go, you could pick out six different bananas
and then say, I'd like these to be a bunch, please.
Yes.
And then a half hour later,
they give you one of those cheesecake factory buzzers.
And I hate to say this because this is so embarrassing
and just, there's a lot of issues with this,
but they only play day-o.
On a loop over and over and over again.
And there's a lot of problems with it.
But anyways, I really hope to not get banana-ed.
I hope not too, but I have not heard of this happening.
I think that this one-
This is a one-off because this was at 100%.
Yeah.
You think it was a scornful X.
I definitely think it was a scornful X.
And how many times did it happen?
Twice in the past month.
Wow.
Twice in the past month.
Yeah, that's personal.
So this person said,
I can't do it again tomorrow.
Bananami once.
I want to do it so bad.
Bananami once, shame on you.
Bananami twice, also shame on you.
You shouldn't be doing this.
The shame is never on me.
That's right.
Well, everybody.
Bananami three times a lady.
That's right. Well, everybody.
Banana me three times a lady.
I...
What?
What?
What?
What?
What?
Doug, when you're right, you're right.
Ha ha!
Oh boy.
Well, everybody be safe out there.
And...
Ha!
You know what?
Absolutely, I agree, Joan.
Yeah.
Everybody be safe out there.
Yeah, weird times with these werewolves
and these bananas running around.
Yeah, it's our neighborhood and we love it.
Mm-hmm, it sure is. What are you gonna do? It's so fiddly balls. Banana smears, werewolves. For some running around. Yeah, it's our neighborhood and we love it. It sure is. What are you gonna do?
So, Dignity Falls.
Banana smears, werewolves.
For some reason at the end of this podcast,
I can't say Dignity Falls.
Really hard.
There we go, that one got out clean.
Did we get a clean one done?
We got a clean.
Okay, good.
You can just put that in place of the others?
Splice it in.
Oh, every time?
No, there were a couple that I messed up.
I'll go back through.
It's okay, no, we'll keep it, we'll keep it.
I think you should go back and replace every instance.
We want them to know this podcast isn't scripted, so keep it in.
Well, of course the podcast is not, okay, how about give a nice clean one right now
and Doug will capture it and then he'll splice that in to all the times you say dignity falls throughout the house. Dignity falls.
Now Joe.
Do you think that'll sound weird when they come? It's not going to match my rhythm at all.
I don't think it'll sound weird. All right. Well, thank you so much for listening.
