You've got the neighbor half app and us.
Burn.
And Jode.
From coyotes to mail theft to weird things to sell.
We'll cover it all.

So just tune in to The Neighborhood Listen.
Well, welcome.
It is season nine of The Neighborhood Listen.
Who Could Believe It This is the Podcast.
about the neighborhood of dignity falls as seen through the eyes of its residents.
Two of which are with you right now, and let's face it, three of which, actually.
I would say.
Yes.
I mean, we're the hosts of the show.
But then our engineer, of course, has become an on-air personality.
Why these hosts become a fan favorite?
I think he's, I think he's beloved more than you and me, burnt, absolutely.
Really?
People love Doug.
Okay.
Let's let's do proper intros and then we'll get into that.
Okay.
Okay, first of all, I just want to say that your intro was great.
I saw you take time.
Thank you.
I saw you set a course.
Thank you.
With your eyes.
For adventure.
I didn't see you float above your body, which is, yes.
I saw you have the theme song in your head.
And then I saw you.
You saw me have the theme song in my head.
Well, because you were singing Love Boat, obviously.
So, okay.
Well, I was speaking.
You were speaking love boat.
But I, but you were, you were speaking the language of Love Boat, and you were so clear.
And there was not one hint.
of being unsure or there wasn't a hiccup.
And I think that's a great way to start off season nine.
And I have to say, I'm already thinking about what we're going to call this because we had season seven, which was, let's see.
What was seven called?
No, it was, what was it called though?
Oh, yeah, season Stephen.
That's right.
And season eight.
What happened just then?
You asked me a question.
I replied with the correct answer and you said no.
I forgot that that was correct.
But it felt like you had a different answer in your mind.
I did because I really thought that I had something in mind.
was not Stephen.
I just couldn't remember.
That's why I was asking you.
Even when you heard the correct thing,
you're like,
no,
it's not that thing I can't remember.
Isn't that terrifying?
It is scary.
Maybe season nine,
feeling fine.
Burnt for all of you,
just looked at me with disgust.
Like he...
To be fair,
you said it and then your face
instantly scrunched up
in a mask of fear.
That's because you didn't have a chance to jump.
I'm a performer.
I know how to preemptively cower.
Can I introduce us now?
No, yes, please.
Okay, yes.
We are the residents of Dignity Falls.
We're some of them.
We're not all of them.
No.
By any stretch.
My name is Burtmea Payday.
I am a pharmacist here.
I'm the pharmacist in chief at the Dignity Falls Massey.
And my name is Joan Pedestrian.
I am the top realtor here and a local actress with the Digny Falls Playhouse and a couple of other things, which I'll get to.
I've been expanding a little bit.
And of course, my husband, Doug, is the engineer.
And you can say hi now, babe.
Hello.
Oh, Doug, are you okay?
He's got, he's got.
Are you all right?
No, I'm just, are you lifting something?
I'm in a funny position.
Okay.
I'd love to hear more.
No elaboration?
I'd love to hear more.
Oh, I'm in the iron lung.
Oh, boy.
You're in the iron lung.
Normally he records from a different room every week.
Something that's supposed to aid your breathing.
Yeah.
It seems to be impeding yours.
Sucking out your life force, babe.
Is it because you don't need to be in one?
No, I have no need.
I've always wondered what it was like.
Okay.
Okay.
So you purchased one?
What did you go to eBay?
Yes.
I'm on dark Facebook marketplace.
Oh, he's always on dark Facebook marketplace.
Is it dark Facebook dark marketplace or just dark Facebook marketplace?
No, I think that would be a double negative.
And so then it would be regular Facebook market.
Yeah.
Light Facebook.
Okay.
And you got an, where did you put it?
Where is this?
Oh, I mean, it's just in the linen closet.
You put it in a linen closet?
Yeah. Oh, my God.
It seems like a tight squeeze.
It's a tight squeeze.
And it's one of my favorite places to go.
Yeah, but still, an iron lung is not small.
So your linen closet might be huge for a linen closet.
It's small for an iron lung.
All right.
Can you at least admit that, Doug?
Yeah, I regret it.
Do I regret it?
Yes.
Can I move it at this point?
No, the boys, you know, disappeared.
Doug, can I ask you?
Wait, wait.
Our boys?
Yeah.
I guess that is the headline.
Before I get into my question, that probably is the more pressing concern.
Well, I didn't know if you meant the boys that he got to move it in, but I bet he got our twin boys to move it in.
And I'm, of course, talking about my twin boys, Matt and Inferneous.
Infernius.
Matt and Infernius, you know, they've been hanging around all summer, as you guys might have remembered from season Nate.
they had written a Mr. Doubtfire pilot for me to star in.
They were doing it all one shot.
Adolesant style.
Well, or the studio style.
But both of them won, I think, for that kind of thing.
I thought they did more like that.
No, the studio did oneer.
A oneer.
As they called it.
Oh, that's right.
That was the name of the episode.
But I will say that they paused on the Mrs.
Doubtfire of it all.
They did graduate from a kindergarten.
I said since they moved in to,
my house. That's right. They had progressed and they were talking. Yes. And, you know,
sadly, Mr. Um, uh, what was his name that old man? I can't remember. I think his name,
we're going to have to go back. Someone's going to be screaming it at us, screaming it at us right now.
Scopes. He was, it's not scopes. Sorry, it's the first teacher's name that came to mine.
Really? No, it's like Cumberbatch, but not. It's something like that. Yeah. Um,
Bumbercatch. He did. He did. He did.
He did pass away this summer.
Oh, finally.
Yes.
But I don't know who I want to say finally.
He was quite elderly.
I know.
He was up there.
I know. He was up there.
We don't need to remember his name now.
Oh, babe, that is such a slow, straight way to think about it.
What is wrong with you?
What do you mean we don't have to remember his name?
That's a very robotic response.
I didn't mean any of it.
It sure is.
You got to get out of that iron lung.
I think it's turning your whole heart.
Here's what that sounds like to me, Doug.
It sounds like one of those robots who's so confounded by humanity, but is trying to
understand that.
and thinks they're very quaint.
Are you pointing your finger at me right now?
Oh, yes.
How did you know, baby?
You could hear it.
You could hear it in his voice.
I can hear the wind to be honest.
I'm just sort of pointing up at the ceiling because I don't know exactly where you are.
What kind of special powers are you getting in that iron lung?
Are you getting powers?
You can hear his finger cutting through the air?
No, but I do think I hear the sound like more precisely because I have that mirror that I look up in.
Yes, of course.
To see outside.
Of course, of course.
Oh, is that what an iron lung comes with?
I don't know about this.
Here's the iron lung I remember for when I was a kid and seeing it on television.
Okay.
It would be a big metal tube.
Sure.
The head sticks out.
Oh.
And there is a mirror over the person's head so they can talk to somebody if they want to who's
behind them.
Oh, my goodness.
That's chilling.
That is chilling.
Kind of like a periscope.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Same technology.
All right.
Well, anyways, Cumberbatch died and the boys, but we got to have them graduate before.
We had a lovely ceremony in the backyard.
Oh, thank God.
Yeah.
Just silly.
string and mac and cheese.
I don't remember. When I graduated
kindergarten, I don't remember being a graduation.
I just remember his kindergarten is over.
They do it now. There's a, there's an event for everything.
I mean, I've seen that. And you've got to go into the portal.
There's now a portal you've got to go into if you're a parent.
And there's endless.
Endless. There are endless. Not really.
And not like the game. Not like that fun video game.
Remember that one back in the day?
Absolutely.
You know, I tried to play that as an adult and I got stuck on one level and I just couldn't get out of it.
I was just running in an endless loop.
and I couldn't, I could not find my way up.
Yeah, I struggled too.
It made me crazy.
It made me a little crazy.
I tried and I just kept, I fell into the portal, like into an infinite.
Oh, no.
Into a loop.
Into a loop.
So I was just falling for hours.
That's too bad.
That's terrible.
That's too bad.
So, so we, they took a break because they wanted to sort of re-reelign their goals.
They said they have, they have big goals for this year.
Once they graduated kindergarten, they said, let's reel in our goals.
Do you know what I mean?
I think they finally felt like men.
And it was nice to see the change in them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They still set things on fire all the time.
Why do they do that, do you think?
I don't know.
We talk about this a lot.
I wonder if I should be concerned that I haven't investigated it more.
And maybe that's what I'll be getting into.
That's actually one of the things that we discuss that I want to get into more this year.
That on my vision board.
I have a vision board.
Oh, Berndt, are you okay?
I'm so sorry.
I was unpacking something earlier today and it had styrofoam and it said really crumbly styrofoam.
And I think I did inhale a piece of it.
Oh, absolutely.
I think so.
Oh, confirmed.
There's so much blood.
Do you know that styrofoam where, okay, they pack something in the styrofoam and then you have to, it's taped.
Oh, I hate that.
They put everything in there and then they put tape on it.
I have to undo the tape.
And then when you undo the tape, the whole thing falls apart.
And then it's just crumbles.
Oh, it's just crumbles.
It's just crumbles.
They stick to things.
They stick to your fingers.
You can't with them away.
Just crumbles is Doug's favorite cereal.
Are you still eating Just Crumbles?
I love Just Crumbles.
It's a local cereal.
And what it is, it's just
It's just crumbles of all different foods
Of different cereals, yeah
They sort of sweep the factory
It's sweeping.
So they, they, it's factory sweepings.
Yeah.
They brag in their commercials
how cheap it is for them to make.
So you can just take other people's crumbles.
It is a very low-priced cereal.
They pass the savings on to you.
I mean, you can get a coupon where they pay you to take a box.
Yes, that's correct.
And listen, I,
Well, speaking of boxes, and everyone knows in my household, I'm terrible at opening boxes.
So if there is tape, if there is anything, I mean, it looks like, it looks like my life depended on getting that box open.
And so I tore it asunder.
It looks like a raccoon attacked it.
And it is, it's a shame.
It's a shame of mine, actually.
You don't use a tool of any kind of box cutter or anything like that?
No, I don't, I just, I'm not, I'm not patient.
I just want to get in there.
You know what I mean?
She doesn't like boss cutters.
I don't like box cutters or boss cutters.
It's not like he said boss cutters.
Nope.
that's just the
that's Doug's new way of not starting a fight
you know he gets upset that I can tell he goes nope
and he wants to say a lot of other things
but his voice goes right up
it goes white up
it sounds like the boys now
when they regress
it's right
they are starting to get their R's and their L's back
but it was really sweet
when they were walking around saying
I love you yeah oh
that does sound sweet yes I love fire
and it's less sweet
anyways
I want to know
I want to know
know what you've been up to,
Burt, because, you know,
we have had a break.
We haven't really been near each other.
Why are we going to talk about what I've been up to?
What's the matter?
What's the matter with that?
I just talked about myself.
I feel rude.
Well, you talked about a thing you're going to do,
but we didn't know what you've been up to.
Oh, I did some summer stock this summer, okay?
Do you want, do you want, why do you not want to talk about yourself?
Oh, I just feel like you're more important than I am.
Oh, why would you say that?
Yeah.
Who's making you feel like that, Burnt?
Not Gabby.
Now, listen, at the end of the season,
you guys had moved in together.
Yes.
And I don't know where we're at from there.
Is it because you want to avoid that?
How's it going?
Living together is going well.
Good.
We do have separate bedrooms.
Okay.
But that was by choice because, you know what?
It's great.
It's nice.
Because we watched all of Downton Abbey and the Crown in one weekend.
Okay.
So wait.
That's a long, is that even mathematically possible?
We stayed up.
Okay.
Did you have them like on two separate?
like devices you're watching
them concurrently. We had both series playing at the same
time. There were more seasons of
Downton Abbey than the Crown. Sure.
So that made things easier after
the Crown ended. Was there ever a moment where two
people, the same actor appeared
in two scenes at the same time? It seems like there's got to be
an overlap. There's a lot of overlap. A lot
of overlap and not many British actors. Matthew Good, you'll
see him in both. Oh, sure.
Speaking of Matthews, Matthew McConae, I
just read that he said like, you know, you got to sleep in a queen
bed and then you'll have a good marriage. I was like,
absolutely not. He's out of his mind.
He's out of his mind.
I mean, I guess if I'm in a queen bed with Matthew McConaughey, that's all right.
You know what I mean?
Did you hear that?
He's going to go, yep.
Is he on your list?
Is he on your Hall Pass list?
He's not.
We know who's on my list.
Timothy Oliphant.
Conan O'Brien and Tom Broca.
Tom Broca.
That's right.
Maybe not now.
Oh, and Sting.
Thank you for reminding me, babe.
And Sting.
Specifically when he's playing the lute.
Yes.
And sing things like,
Murder of Crows.
Oh, I love the way he says that.
That's your entryway into sing.
That's right.
It gets me going.
From the famous song?
Like a murder of crows.
Hang, I have to sing.
I have to sing.
All this time.
All this time.
The river flows.
It is.
Trust me.
It's in that song?
It's in that song.
I will look it up right now.
Now, listen, I have also made a goal to not declare that certain people are in certain movies.
Yes.
Because cinematically, I have done a bad job last year.
My grade was bad.
Again, we apologize.
Tom Scarrett was not in the thing.
I realized that.
He was an alien, okay?
I got him disconfused with another handsome.
I got him disconfused with a bearded man.
I get disconfused a lot.
We all get disconfused.
We sure do.
How about Season Klein?
In honor of Robert Klein, the comedian?
Sure.
Patsy Klein?
Calvin Klein?
Well, I think it's pretty, that's the one to beat, folks.
That's the one to beat for sure.
Who is the, oh, wait, who is the terrible?
Albert Klein, the terrible manager
or lawyer or whatever. What about Kevin
Klein? Oh, he's my favorite client.
Love him. He's my favorite client, I think.
Yeah, without a doubt.
Wouldn't mind. Maybe I'll add
him to the list. Maybe he'll replace Tom Broca.
You know, my Hall Pass list has changed slightly.
Oh, let's hear it. Of course.
Charlize Theron. Sure.
Or no, it was, yes. Well, either her is an avatar.
It was her and was it was at Eon flux? That's what it was.
I believe it was Charlize Throne specifically in Eon flux.
Specifically in the Enflux.
Of course, from the video
game Red Dev Redemption 2,
revenge-crazed killer Sadie Adler.
Okay.
And I've added
to that
to that pile.
Who? I don't know
if we refer to fantasy women
as a pile. I'm not sure
I'm okay with that.
A pile of crows.
Does it ring off
the tongue?
It doesn't ring off the tongue.
It doesn't ring off the tongue. It's a
local expression here.
It is.
We always say that in Dutney Falls.
It doesn't ring off the tongue.
Because even that doesn't ring off the tongue.
So it's just a real good example of it.
I've added the Statue of Liberty.
I think she's quite striking.
There are so many
I have so many follow-up questions about that,
burn, but I think I'm just going to leave them there.
Well, I tell you what, you know, having a statue,
having an extremely tall statue.
that people can walk around in
as one of your hall passes
is good for your relationship
it'll never come up
well okay speaking of your relationship
I'm not going to let you sidestep it
so how is it going you said it's been good
you're sleeping in separate beds
yes and so it makes things it makes things more romantic
okay because you watch the shows
you watch them together and then you go your separate ways
you like you watch the crown
and you watch out now that's where we got the idea
oh I see oh from the shows
both shows they have separate bedrooms
and things went so well for all those people
Well, in Down Abbey, arguably.
I mean, of course they had their tragedies.
Until they wanted to leave the show.
Here's what I like about Downton Abbey.
They're making another movie.
Another one.
I can't believe it.
And every movie ends with, and so concludes the story of Downton Abbey.
And then they just do another one.
Just keep going.
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
But they really make the endings like, you'll never hear from us again.
This is the last one.
We're finally saying all we have to say.
I mean, what more can happen?
I don't know.
I mean, Mr. Moseley got to achieve.
his dream of working in Hollywood.
Oh, see, that's a spoiler.
I really stopped watching after the first movie, I think.
Oh, you must see the second movie.
Must I?
As an actor, yes, because Hollywood comes to Downton Abbey.
Oh, okay.
And did they do it a one shot?
They do not do a one-er.
They do not do a wonder.
They do not do a one-oh, that's too bad.
That's a whole movie should have been one.
That would have been amazing.
And then, and they've got, what's the name of the maid who is the evil one, you know?
Oh, Brian.
Oh, Brian.
Does she, is she the one that gets high on cocaine like Brian Cranston?
and they have to drag her around.
I don't believe she made it to the end of the show.
Oh, that's sad.
Yes.
I think eventually she was too evil and they said, you're fired.
What?
No, that'd be terrible.
I always see her on the red carpet.
She looks so gorgeous.
I always hate it that, like, they don't give them the evil people or the maids any makeup.
And then when they show up on the red carpet, they're like, oh, look at you.
She looked terrific, I thought.
O'Brien.
Oh, you were attracted to O'Brien.
Oh, okay.
What am I crazy for saying that?
Well, you do.
You are in love with an iron giant of a woman.
So I guess
I guess it's not such a stretch
that you also were attracted to O'Brien.
What did the Iron Giant say before he died?
He said something.
I think he says, oh boy, the boys loved this movie.
He like rockets off into the sun or something?
I know, but I think he says something like guns, not good.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Peace on earth.
He has some very, very important.
He doesn't say that.
I don't really think it's that.
Bert, I don't really think it's that.
But it's very,
I think because he chooses to be good.
You know, the boy says to him, like, you don't have to be, you know,
do you know Jennifer Aniston's the mom in that?
I do remember that now.
Harry Connich Jr., I believe is the dad.
He's great in it.
No, he's like a friend.
He's like a buddy.
Okay.
He's like the Doc Brown to that kid.
We're just not explained.
Oh, really?
I think so.
All right.
Listen, we're not, you know what?
I'm going to take everything back that I just said because I know I have not had a good score on my cinematic
answers about things, about movies.
Again, this is not a movie podcast.
We're not a movie podcast.
We're not a movie podcast.
But we've already gotten on to how many movies?
Just one so far.
That's not bad.
The Downton Abbey movie.
That counts.
It counts as a movie.
I still want to know if there's any, I feel like there's a butt coming with your story when it comes to you and Gabby.
Just tell me if there is or not.
Well, that's cynical.
It was the way you were telling it.
We've been having a lovely time because it makes, you know, we visit each other's bedrooms.
Okay.
Sometimes just say good night.
Okay.
Sometimes for penetrative sex.
Oh.
burnt. We're grown-ups, Joan. Come on. Exactly. I mean, I've never heard of
grown-up say penetrative sex. I've heard of doctor say that. I've heard a doctor say
that. Should I say penetrative? I'm so sorry. Is that how do they say it on
Downton Abbey? Penetitive. Penetitive. My dear, would you permit me some penetrative sex
this evening? It's in the middle of the night. Oh, Herbert. What's his name? I don't remember his name.
Oh, dear.
We don't remember any.
Elizabeth McGovern.
Oh, no.
That's terrible.
Come sit on the chair.
I'm so sorry that that happened.
I almost died from the flu.
Oh, my mom.
My hair's are white now.
I'm on Broadway.
I don't.
What's you doing on the Great One Way?
It's like, you know, it's one of those things where she's playing like a real woman, you know, but it's just a one man show.
You know, I mean, it's a one woman show.
One person show.
One person show.
Sure.
You know, like how people have played.
someone's done Eleanor Roosevelt
an evening with Eleanor Roosevelt
I mean I know who people are
I knew what you're meant by people
I can't remember who it is she's doing though
I mean we're really doing a great job of not knowing about
anything that we're talking about
Is she doing Nico from the Velvet Underground?
Is it now I can't remember what the guy's name is
What is that guy's name in the show?
George oh George
George whatever sounds right in that accent
Lord Grantham Lord Grantham
but she doesn't call him
I'm Lord Grant them. Oh, Lord Granted.
I have to look it up.
I have to go.
Yeah, I really have to know so that we can do it in the voice.
Souls don't die.
This is very important.
What?
That was the last.
Is that the Iron Giant's last word?
Souls don't die?
It's close to guns not good.
So he got religious.
Guns not good.
He's in the neighborhood of that.
I'm just being able to think you were really losing your mind, babe, in that iron lung.
Did you step out of it yet?
No, I can't.
So then you just Googled that from inside your iron lung or did it just come to you because you have such clarity?
Yeah.
Wow.
Are you ready to be blown over?
Oh, I cannot wait.
What is it?
Robert.
No.
Never would have guessed that in a million years.
But listen, you said Herbert.
That was very close.
I'm touching him.
And apparently he's mad about it.
I did have the bird.
I did have the bird part.
It's true.
That's why I was excited.
That's why I touched you.
Oh, Robert.
Oh, Robert.
Robert, I'm worried about the girls.
I'm worried about the girls, Robert, especially because we only have two left, Robert.
And you made a bad choice.
The one didn't want to do the show anymore.
And so we all had to watch that traumatic, horrible episode.
Then the other guy didn't want to do the show, and he got killed.
He just simply looked at the sky and smiled and crashed it to the car.
Why was he driving like that?
That was just one of the dumbest things in the world.
He might as well.
He might as well been saying.
But I feel like the writers were like, fuck you on that.
They did not give him a good death.
Oh, no.
I think they absolutely.
Okay.
I know that I said, I know I said it wasn't going to swear a lot.
Doug hates it when I swear.
He does, yes.
And I was going to work on it.
But that one, I don't hate it.
I just, you do hate it.
Startled me.
You do.
It startled me.
It startled me.
It startled me.
It startled me, Robert, when you swear or when you swore.
Robert, don't swear.
Oh, Rob.
Don't say it.
Please.
You know what?
I bet you had a ball.
That's fun to do.
Oh, I would have loved you.
The only American, you get to go over there for a couple years and hang out?
It's the best.
Oh, it's my dream, really.
Let my hair turn white and let me get on a British soap.
Absolutely.
Oh.
Eastenders.
I need to add that to my vision board.
Eastenders.
Isn't that like very depressing, though?
It's kind of sad.
It's hard scrabble folk.
I think it is.
Yeah.
Hard scrabble folk.
That's right.
And what's more depressing than their lives?
Well, hopefully not our next guest because we do have a guess.
We should probably get to that guest.
Doug, how long have we been recording?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, here we go.
How is he going to check?
Use a mirror.
So this is something that has not changed.
Yeah, your arms are pinned to your sides.
No matter where he is, he can never find how long we've been recording.
It takes them forever for some reason.
We'll have to find the right angle on this mirror.
Yes, please.
And then look upside down.
So in the meantime, everything's going great with you and Gabby.
Yeah, we're good.
It's actually, it's wonderful for our relationship.
We really enjoy it.
All right.
And we've started, we're going to start, like, having sort of, you know, garden parties and things like that.
I'm sorry.
What?
We're kind of taken with this sort of life.
Oh, you're very into, you want to sort of create your own little down to Mabby.
I feel like we've been indoctrinated by watching so much of this.
I think you have, actually.
Yeah.
If I go over to your home, is it going to look the same?
Or is it going to be very altered?
And we both wear sashes now.
Oh, dear.
Yeah.
With medals.
I think that that's, you know what I also hated from that?
I hated just the whole point of like when you're really rich, the children are just brought to the parents for two seconds where they're like, hello.
Hi, how are you?
Remember Mary's children were just brought to her.
just, you know, just shone to her, like, they're alive and then, and then shuffled away.
Lady Barrett.
He's a Muppet.
He's such a Muppet, that guy.
He really is, Carson.
He's like, he's like, he's like, that blue eagle, Sam, right?
He's not unlike the Blue Eagle, Sam.
That's what he reminds me of.
How about the Muppet show's show coming back?
I haven't heard about this.
Oh, my, are you kidding me with, you know, the one who sings espresso.
What's her name?
Sabrina Carpenter.
She brought it back?
Is Jason Siegel, Matt?
Well, I think he's mad at it says Rogan because now it says Rogan doing it.
I mean, that's in the same family.
I know.
Because he sounds like one.
Exactly.
They just figured, you know what?
You already won.
You already are one.
So why did you just do it?
It's like William Randolph Hearst buying up a newspaper because I'm like what they say about him.
Hey, do you have the time yet, babe?
I do.
You seem to be on a roll.
We were stalling for you.
Oh.
We were absolutely stretching.
Stretching time for you.
Okay, it's 25.
Oh, that's perfect.
That's about right.
Yeah, that's good.
I do want to say very quickly before we go to break.
I do like my, one of my favorite things on British television is, you know, in a crime show where a guy has to come in and say, there's no CCTV at Gov.
There's no CCTV.
Do they really say Gov?
They say Gov and they say boss.
Were they saying Gov?
Yes.
I thought that was just college improv guys that do that.
College improv guys.
That's what they're always saying when they're, listen, the boys got in.
When they're being a British person?
No, they say Govna.
You know, they just say that.
Yeah, but I do believe that they, I mean, unless that is strictly just for TV shows in England, that would be wild.
Maybe if the police said, look, you can't.
Matt and, I didn't mean to touch.
I'm sorry, I'm touching you, burnt.
He's getting so worked up about it.
Our hands happened to brush.
I'm sorry, you're used to the separate beds.
I get it.
You brush my head.
You're used to someone not touching your body at all.
That's right.
Okay.
It's not proper.
It's made you a little bit strange about it.
I think it's made a little phobic.
I will not kiss in public anymore.
Oh, gosh.
I think that's a.
stream. Well, it's not done.
The boys got into improv this summer. That's why I know that.
Oh, no. They walk around just asking for suggestions all day long.
And then they do scenes?
Yes.
All day long.
They need to move out and get their own place.
I know. I just love them. I would miss them too much.
Really? I think I really would. Okay. All right. It's hard to explain. Let's get to our guest.
Yes.
We're going to take a break, and when we return, we will have a guest right here on The Neighborhood Listen.

Frozen beef, pork chicken.
Hello, this is Nancy A.
I don't know if it's okay to post here.
Please delete if not.
No judgments or negative comments.
Please.
I have a deep freezer packed with frozen beef pork chicken.
I need to get rid of.
It has been in an unlawful.
unopened freezer since 2020.
I hate to toss it out, but need to empty this freezer out.
If you would like it, please comment here, and I will DMU pickup info.
Crossroads of Polk and Pine.
I've heard some people with farm animals may use it.
If you've used for it, LMK, it needs to be gone today.
Now look, I'm not judging you if you're feeding beef, pork, and chicken to your farm animals.
Okay?
So don't judge me for having it and not wanting it.
This freezer has been unopened since 2020.
I know what's in there.
I haven't been able to look at it.
Please don't judge me.
I can't take your negative comments.
Please.
Feed this beef to your cow.
Feed this chicken to your chicken.
You freaks, I'm judging you.
Nancy A is judging you
And welcome back to the neighborhood listen
Oh, can I just interject here?
Oh, sure, please.
Okay, so I looked it up and it's Elizabeth McGovern
is performing, I believe it's off-Broadway
And it's, it's Ava, Ava, the secret conversations,
Ava Gardner, the secret conversations
I've had a secret conversation
And she was like a famous movie star, right?
Yes, absolutely. Married to Frank Sinatra.
Oh, look at you.
Oh, Frank.
Oh, Frank.
Sinatra.
Don't beat up the photographer, Frank.
Oh, Frank, get the mafia out of the house, Frank.
Come on, please.
I didn't want.
It's a Thursday.
Frank, we're having family dinner.
Don't invite the mafia.
Now, she said, you don't need to see the show.
That's the whole show.
A famous quote from Eva Gardner about Frank Sinatra when they were dating before they got
married.
She said, you know, because this is when Frank was young.
Yes.
A young, slim gentleman.
Mm-hmm.
And she said,
yeah they say frank is 110 pounds 90 pounds of it is cock oh are you gonna get mad at that
that was very very blue i don't say that kind of stuff i'm not mad is that real is that real
burnt i mean as far as i know looks like you're ringing it off your phone but maybe i'm not
just sure i wasn't no come on joe yeah you think i went to bartlett although those those dames
back in the day, they really were pretty salty.
They were salty. Yeah, they were broads. They were broads.
They were broad. I miss a broad. All right. So we have a, we have a guest.
Yes, here's what we do. Every episode, we comb the neighbor app, the social networking application
for neighborhoods. And we look for interesting people to talk to. Maybe they have a message they
want to share. Maybe they're trying to sell something. Maybe they have a service to offer,
whatever. Maybe they're trying to warn people of some dire emergency. Sometimes. Sometimes.
Never is though. They're always wrong. And this week is no different. We have,
And if you would like to send us one, if you see one that perhaps we've missed, you think
we should talk about, you can screenshot it and send it to us at burnt and Joan at gmail.com.
Now, this one we found ourselves.
And to screenshot, you do the little, two little buttons on the same time.
Yes, that's right, babe.
Thanks.
I think, yeah.
If anyone didn't know that, now you know.
Or you can do Command Shift 4 on your computer.
That's true.
I don't know.
I think you should get out.
I think you should get out of that.
I think you should, I would love it if you got out of that iron silence.
It's making you into a machine.
all right oh boy very very worried so we have we have a guest here this is uh sam sam writes this is in the
in search of section okay is there anyone out here willing to take a small risk on me and my t-shirt
ideas i've got some funny ideas and i'm confident they will sell but i just don't have the money
to get them printed and get this started it would be a small investment with a quick return and a little
profit in our pockets. I'm willing to discuss any and all options to make this happen.
It can be a one-time investment or we can work out a plan to keep your money flipping for a while
too. I'm flexible. I just want to get to work and make some money. These ideas are good.
You'll see. Let's talk. It can't hurt to listen to me. Print shop owners or individuals with
access and abilities to get things printed are welcome to jump in on this too. Anyone that has a
serious interest in helping me launch and making some easy money off me. Let's talk. Hit me up.
And here to tell us more about this is Sam, Sam, welcome to the neighborhood listen. Hi, Sam. Thank you so
much for hearing me out. Of course. I'm so happy to be here. It's nice to have a platform.
Oh, of course. Yes. This is what we want to do. We want to amplify people in our community and what
they have to do. So I think maybe the first question I'd have for you is would you share with us some of these
T-shirt ideas you're talking about.
Before we get into that, because I definitely want to hear the T-shirt ideas.
I really do.
I'm burning to.
Have you tried Googling how to print a T-shirt?
Yeah, of course.
I don't know if you read my post, but part of my issue is financial.
No, I understand that.
Like, if you can help me out money-wise.
Right.
And, yeah, you Google it, but, you know, every website you go to.
So I'm talking to public.
Right.
I'm talking.
So you are aware of these.
Okay.
Shirthouse.com.
Like a four imprint type thing.
You know, they do that for businesses.
They do T-shirts for everybody.
Vista prints.
Okay.
Sure, absolutely.
Every single one of us.
Zazzle.
Thank you.
My favorite.
I love that name.
It's a great name.
Yeah.
Zazzle?
Great.
Why would you go anywhere else?
Should I be masked up around him?
No, no, no.
No, no.
Yeah, it's okay.
That voice you're hearing.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
You don't have to.
He's not going to come downstairs.
Were you afraid he was hiding under the table?
Well, it sounded like he wasn't.
I understand.
But he is in a different room in time.
Yes, yes, yes.
That's my husband, Doug.
I'm so sorry.
Normally we do a better job explaining to the guess what's going on there.
I don't have polio.
And if I did, it wouldn't be in the kitchen.
I don't have polio if I didn't know it in the kitchen.
That's a shirt idea.
That's a shirt.
No, sure.
I mean, if it's okay with Doug, he's, you can take it.
I'm imagining like the El Pollo Loco guy, but instead of polio, it says polio.
Oh, wow.
Polio.
Who's the El Pollo loco guy?
It's a crazy chicken.
I think I know what he's talking about.
Is he talking about the guy who sings it?
Yeah, yeah.
Who I imagine is a crazy chicken.
I'm imagining it's the guy in the logo,
singing El Pollo almost.
It never occurred to me that it was the chicken singer.
Yes.
He's singing about himself very close to the tune of Guantanamara.
Yeah, and he's Camer shy.
Yeah, well, he's crazy.
He is crazy.
It's crazy to be Cammer Shai.
So you, so what we're,
Understanding is that you have exhausted all of these websites,
but you're coming up short because,
but they're asking for his money and that's what you don't have.
You have zero money.
Zero money.
Not for this.
Oh.
I have my money allocated for other things in my life.
Of course.
Oh, this is like a Jay Leno tonight show money situation.
Yeah.
Can you explain that?
Well, Jay Leno, of course, he was the host of the Tonight Show for many years.
That I know.
And he always prided himself on the fact that he never touched the tonight show money.
He just put that away.
Oh.
And he lived off of his stand-up money.
And for some reason, he felt it was important to make that distinction.
And he bought all those cars with the monies.
That would have did?
Any money he has spent.
It's never been the Tonight Show money.
And he wants you to know that.
Oh, God.
While we're on the topic of Leno, if you don't mind.
Yes, please.
Did you know that Mavis Leno was a little bit integral in the United States
going into Afghanistan after 9-11?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Do you know, I kind of remember her talking about something like this
on the Tonight Show.
He had her as a guest.
She was very pro.
She worked with organizations
that were pro rights
of Afghani women
against the Taliban
and she lobbied hard
for the United States
to go into Afghanistan
and take over there.
And you think that was
the tipping point after 9-11?
She saw an opportunity.
So after 9-11 happened,
Mavis called up
the White House and said,
see what I'm talking about?
Yes.
Is that a T-shirt for you?
Or she called him,
see what I'm talking about?
Mavis going to see what I'm talking about.
in the back of the Twin Towers going down.
I'm not sure about this. Sam, here's the funny thing.
I mean, I would talk a little bit on the back if you're going to put that on it.
Here's the funny thing.
A lot of times on this podcast, I will say something or someone says something.
And I go, is that a T-shirt?
And I get very excited.
So I actually, I really, really understand what you're getting at here.
And I would just love to hear a few of your ideas.
Yes.
So I just needed to know.
That's okay.
I get it.
Would you please just hear me out.
They're funny.
No, no.
We have no qual.
You have a microphone.
If you would hear me out on this.
And we have headphones.
We're not yes.
prepared to physically hear you out doesn't hurt to listen it doesn't hurt to listen what have you
got to lose yes what have you got to lose exactly all right okay good okay um okay um mr cuban
um mr cuban well i'm mr cuban he looked right at me for mr cuban how interesting there's a lady
on that show i don't know her name i think he senses that you're an actor oh that could
play you're a cameal okay fine oh my gosh yeah Cuban killed it in the entourage movie did you see him in that
I didn't.
But I believe it.
I believe it.
He's very charismatic.
Who did he play?
Mark Cuban.
Oh, he played himself.
Well, Turtle needs to find money for his business bringing an oyster company from the East Coast to Los Angeles.
And he engages with Mark Cuban on investments for the oyster company.
Okay.
All right.
An oyster company.
Oh, like an oyster restaurant, I guess, I think.
Oyster restaurants.
My man!
That's my man up there.
Yes, but Doug always thinks Doug.
Doug thinks
Doug thinks that they should be called
Roysterons.
Doug, I don't hate it.
Doesn't hurt to consider.
I don't hate it.
Hear him out.
Just hear him out.
I heard you out.
You know what?
I'm glad I did.
That's all you had to do.
See, so lesson learned.
Let me, let me, let me, let me,
this is perhaps I'm, I'm, I'm ignorant.
You know what I'm going to say that I am.
Okay.
I'm going to commit to it.
Okay.
Because I'm about to say something that I don't know.
So that means,
Ignorant.
Sure.
About this.
About this.
Is it not, are oysters a thing that do not exist on the West Coast?
Not in the way that Turtle, not Turtle's favorite restaurant.
I think it was called Don, Don Cucos or Don Pepe's or something like that.
He really liked that restaurant.
I wanted to bring the franchise out west.
But that didn't really answer my question.
Yeah.
They don't, I know that in the Pacific Northwest, they're a thing.
So I know.
Pacific Northwest.
Yes, that's a thing.
But they're set in Los Angeles.
Like, there's not an oyster bars in like Seattle and whatnot.
So I think that they're up there.
But I haven't spent much time there.
But the oysters in the Pacific Northwest are generally underwater for a shorter amount of time than the oysters from the East Coast.
So they are a little brineer or they haven't sat down.
Oh, you want them?
You want them? You want them? You want them?
You want the East Coast ones to truly less briny.
They're less briny.
Yes.
Okay.
They spend less time in the water.
No, they spend more time.
And I don't know the logic of that.
So I couldn't fall it.
I would say I'm a little ignorant on this as I'm speaking about it.
Okay. Maybe we should move on from oysters and get to some T-shirt ideas.
But we can come back to oysters.
Of course we can.
Let's table oysters.
Well, because Turtle wanted to find a way to separate himself from Vince.
I thought you're saying from oysters because his name is Turtle.
I'm just not that familiar with entourage.
I didn't watch it.
I'm not overly familiar either.
All I know is everything always works out.
It does, except for season eight when Doug Ellen, the creator, got very mad that people said everything always works out.
So he said, okay, fine.
Our main character has a co-cadiction and is dating a porn star for this season.
Would you say this is your favorite?
favorite show? I'd say I know it all.
Here's one
thing I do know about that
is I watch the episode where
Vinnie Chase
is supposedly in the throes
of cocaine addiction. And he goes on the tonight show
with Jaylon. Oh, gosh.
And this is supposed to be a
calamitous appearance on this
night show because he's clearly on drugs.
And I was surprised to find that out.
After that scene ended of him on the tonight show and everybody's
saying like, that was terrible. And what were you going to do?
He was like, what was wrong?
He seemed fine.
Well, they didn't want to push it too close to the edge there, you know?
So you just have the characters say it was bad, but you don't want to challenge anybody.
That was a different time.
It was a different time.
Obama's favorite TV show, which Doug Ellen talks about a lot on Victory the Podcast, the Entourage.
You do know a lot about, okay, if you're listening to that podcast, then this is your favorite show.
Are most of your T-shirts about Entourage?
They could be.
Or most of them.
Wait, they could be.
So you, okay.
I just gave him the idea.
We have, we've gotten very far afield.
Yes, absolutely.
What it frustrates me is the way the world is right now, the way people are, everyone's got
there.
Oh, that can mean so many things.
Guard up.
Yes.
You know, the internet and everyone's judging everybody.
Oh, no.
He's got Frankenstone throat.
Sometimes that happens.
And I'm sorry.
Frankenstone.
Yes, that's what it's called.
We talked about this.
It's a condition specific to Dignity Falls.
What was the stone part again?
It's because it's because most likely I, I pronounced it.
you thought I pronounced it incorrectly, but I
didn't. It is called Frankenstone throat.
It's not related to Frankenstein.
It's a completely different.
Oh, it is? Well, I mean, you know, it's more like
it's like Frankenstein sound.
It's not Al Frankenstein. Thanks, babe.
That's what you thought. It's not Al Franken.
We're not talking about a part of
Al Franken's forks.
That's a T-shirt.
It's Al Franken as Frankenstein.
I'm taking that. I'm taking that. Is that all right?
So it's just a picture of Al Franken.
And he's, that's it, that's all it is.
And is he saying anything?
And you have to figure it out.
You know what I mean?
It's like, it's like that game concentration.
Which one is that?
Where you see the pictures and you figure out the phrase it's saying.
Isn't that called concentration?
No, there was a game show that was like that.
That's a game show you're thinking of.
Yes, yes.
Oh, boy.
Please.
On this, maybe.
Oh, please.
Of course, yeah.
I'm sure we have the same idea here.
Probably.
I'm certain of it, I can see it in your eyes.
I'm going to tell you, my mind is to blank slate right now because I'm thinking about a board game.
You're going to be hung up on that.
It was one of those board games that needed batteries because the idea was you had to put puzzle pieces in this puzzle.
That's right.
Don't wake daddy.
It was not.
Don't wake daddy.
Because they needed, you need batteries.
Operation.
No, no.
I think concentration was the name.
of that game. It was concentration, right? And then all the yellow pieces just like explode out because
you didn't get them in in time. The board would like shoot up. Yes, yes. All those yellow pieces.
Scatter the pieces all over the place. All those yellow pieces. Who are you becoming?
That's how you said it.
Oh, okay. I think if we roll that back, we won't hear that exact sound, but fine. All right.
So now, I really, I really want to get to some of these ideas.
I wish I do. You have your platform. Take it away. We want to get to these ideas.
We need the ideas.
Could I just give you, I just want you to know what I'm coming in here with.
Oh, okay.
The world, because I have a microphone here literally.
I have a, literally, you do.
A mouthpiece, yes.
A mouthpiece to the world of your listeners.
We have to be opened in new ideas.
Absolutely.
We are so closed off.
We're so judgmental and it's killing creativity.
Okay.
Okay.
So could you hear me out on these?
I believe we said yes to that many times.
I mean that great listeners too.
I'm raking some money right now listening to.
to you that's my dog up there could be yours to get to this i have no idea what that means i have
no idea what that means they put a perfect picture in my mind i know exactly what it's there okay
these guys are sympathetic that's not surprising all right go for it please could you picture this shirt
and keep an open mind while we're at it uh this is a bit tough it's a picture of a roll with butter on it
a roll with butter on it okay and it says your child may be an honor roll student but i'm on a roll
and is this the butter's point of view
It's the wearer of the shirt.
The role would be on them.
Would you be open-minded?
Would you come into this with a sense of positive curiosity?
The creativity's being killed, burnt, okay?
I mean, I am curious.
But you're asking, when you see that shirt on the street, you got?
That's an interesting shirt.
I'm thinking about it.
It sounds more like a bumper sticker, I will say,
because that's where you always see those honor roll things as a bumper sticker.
Uh-oh, you're not going to like this.
You're not going to come down on her?
You'll be open-minded.
Is the next t-shirt like a fit?
of the with like
that one that everyone I've seen the
the Jesus one I've seen the Darwin one
then there's a Satan one that I've also seen
Oh yeah and then there's an OTW
Not at this one really out of this world
Not of this world
It's like a little alien
No I think it's about God
It's Jesus riding the ET bike
Who's E T?
Is it still E in the basket?
Jesus is Elliot
now that is a t-shirt I like
okay wait
I have to pitch this very quickly
if you want that to work honestly
and I think it could
because I think there's a big market
with Christians
it's Jesus riding the ET bike
and then you customize it so it's your
face as ET
that is it
although here's the thing
although here's the thing
ET was the one who made the bike fly
so it really has to be you
piloting the bike
It does have to be Jesus is E.T.
But isn't it that when you went to Universal Studios,
you could get the picture taken where you are,
I swear I've seen pictures of this,
like from the 80s where kids would get in front of a green screen
at Universal Studios.
And they're either on the bike or they're E.T.
Which one were they?
They're on the bike.
Because E.T. also says goodbye to you at the end.
Oh.
And so he says your name, unless you have a name that's not a very typical name.
And then he says, goodbye, Fred.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha.
E.T. only knows English names.
I mean, he landed only in America.
That's true.
We have no proof.
That's true.
This is almost like the Book of Mormon.
Is there some story where Jesus traveled to other countries that we don't know about?
Speaking of far afield, we are just dipping into every kind of possible dangerous vat.
But look what we got to.
Dangerous vat.
You know, like the dip in Roger Rabbit.
Exactly what I was thinking of.
Oh, the most dangerous fat.
It's humans.
We got to keep lids on vats.
It's like, oh, my God, you imagine falling into a vat of a knockout potion?
Knockout potion.
I was trying to think of that word.
It's an Evident Lee reference.
That's from the pilot that Doug, of course, wrote called Evident Lee about a man named.
Is his name Lee Evident?
I feel like we got confused with that.
I thought his name was just Evidently.
It's Evidently.
L-E-I-G-H, and he finds out, he sees evidence like you used to see the Nuprin pills in the
Newprin commercial back in the movie.
So everything's black and white, but the evidence is bright yellow.
You got it, Sam.
You've got it, Sam.
You love this script.
I'm a very open-minded.
You would really love it.
We read the pilot on whatever episode.
All right.
So, so far we have, I'm on a roll.
Yes.
Oh, your child may not roll soon, but I'm on a roll.
Yes.
Okay, this one.
And it's a picture of a roll with butter on it.
Thank you for hearing me out on that.
That went well.
Let's do another one.
Let's do another one.
This one, you'll have to imagine the writing is all upside down.
Oh, that's hard.
Okay.
So, well, if I'm walking past someone, how am I going to have time to actually get this teacher?
Oh, I thought you meant it was hard to imagine.
It is, but also I'm thinking, oh, how am I going to, if someone's walking towards me,
do I have a chance to be able to understand this?
It slows people down. Oh, there you go.
Art should be challenging is what I believe.
And that's why I like to be heard out.
If you understood it right away, it's not art.
It's just consumable craft.
So this idea, this t-shirt idea is sort of your piss Christ.
I would call this my piss Christ.
So will you hear me out on it?
Yes, we're hearing you out.
And I want your listeners too as well.
I don't want people to hit plus 30 on meetings.
Let's assume they know.
Is there hearing this?
So it's the writing's upside down.
Okay.
And it says, if you can read this, stop walking upside down.
No, I like that one.
It's actually better than the first one.
That's a great one.
Okay, thank you very much.
I would buy that one.
Great.
If I were Mark Cuban, I would invest right now.
All right.
Well, so this is easy.
We could make some money right away.
Wait, was that all the, it's only the two?
No, no, no, no, but you're excited.
We're not on board yet financially.
All right, all right, all right.
I don't want it to be a one-off.
Gazzle me.
I'm Mr. Wonderful.
This could be quick and easy.
It's your wonderful.
We love you.
Is that something people have to say to him?
Yeah.
I find shark tank very depressing.
I can't watch it.
Yeah, I don't watch much of it.
It really bums me out for some reason.
I was getting, I started getting TikToks of people who were like,
Mark Cuban said this product would never work and look at me now, and it's them still
selling their product on TikTok.
Oh, no.
So they've democratized it.
But their ad is like they said this sucked, but it still works.
Oh, no.
So Shark Tank's still an opening in the world.
I guess so.
Number three.
okay keep honking i'm a goose and honk sound like you're talking to me in my goose language
now okay again this one is this is my only concern here this is the second one that sounds more like
a bumper sticker because if you are walking nobody's honking no one's really honking at you and i'm not
trying to throw a wrench in the works here i'm just unless you're crossing against the light now now
Now, if you're talking about we do have a local crosswalk in Digny Falls, that is only for animals.
Yes.
And there are times that you've had to just leave your car and walk home because you absolutely may not cross as long as there's animals crossing.
And sometimes they might just bed down right there in the middle of the street.
They just might fall asleep standing up right in the middle of the road.
And that's the rules.
That's the rules here in our quirky town.
But they do respect the don't walk and the walk sign.
And it's, oh no, they do.
Yeah.
They do.
It's just that sometimes there's just a real rush hour of animals.
We forgot to put a thing in there that says you have to like continue the journey in a timely matter.
Don't fall asleep.
But so in your mind, how are you imagining someone wearing this t-shirt and someone honking at them?
Can I be totally honest?
I also have some questions as well.
I'm fucking annoyed right now.
Hey, hey.
I said, hear me out.
I said, just listen to me and hear me out.
It takes nothing.
It takes none of your energy.
I'm asking nothing of you.
And all I'm getting is not true.
I can say nothing.
We asked for our money.
Well, okay, I did ask for a fresh ice coffee when I walked through the door.
That's right.
I asked for hot breakfast.
I had to go to the store.
Yes.
I had nothing in the house.
The scramble was not soft.
I'll say that.
There wasn't any milk, so I used cream horror.
Which is also what they danced at Eric Clapton's bar mitzvah.
Oh, my goodness.
It's also what?
That could be a taste.
shirt.
The Cremora, like the Torah.
The horror, the horror.
That's right.
Hora and Torah.
I never thought about that.
Oh, boy.
Is there a third?
Are we going to get to every religion on this podcast today?
God, I hope so.
Gamora.
So wait, so wait.
Is that in the Jewish religion?
Gamora?
I don't know.
That's in the Old Testament, yeah.
I'm sure Jews lived in Gamora.
Oh, boy.
Okay, we are really, again.
Honestly, don't know.
We're talking about things that we are not experts on and it's not safe.
I know what happened in Sodom.
Do we have gomoramie?
Is that a thing that people do?
Do we have what?
Gomoramy.
Gomoramy.
Oh, God.
What did they do that was so bad?
And they got wiped out.
That just became French kissing, I think, is what the word ended up is.
Oh, boy.
Because it's so close to come here.
Gabor.
Gormomomi.
That's how they say it where you grew up in medium-midily.
That's right.
Gimorim.
So you just got very confrontational with us right now.
And now we're having fun and laughing, but I do want, I need to, I need to address it.
I do, I do want you to know that we are only trying to help you.
We are not trying to shoot down your ideas.
My thinking is you've already told some people these ideas.
You haven't gotten money.
I'm finding out why right now, right?
Because there might be.
No, I think, no, no.
We are hearing you out.
Now, Sam.
Now Sam.
Now, Sam.
Sam.
No, Sam.
See.
We're hearing you at.
You're hurting her feelings, Sam.
because we give you a platform.
I wish you'd listen to this.
Have you ever seen Downton Abbey?
I watched like two or three episodes of it.
Okay.
Did that sound familiar?
Yeah, very.
Okay, good.
There's the episode where droopy dog shows up, right?
That's great.
Now, Sam, I have to say this.
First of all, we are hearing you out.
Thank you.
And trying to help you.
And we're maybe giving notes because if you're looking for investors,
whether or not we end up being the investors,
I think this is good feedback to get for the next pitch.
If it should go further than this, you just want to be ready.
Now, I also want to say I like the goose idea.
Okay.
But I think that instead of the goose saying, I have a goose and it sounds like you're talking to me in my goose language.
It's a long.
It's a long.
I think the question that people have is, well, what does that sound like to the goose?
What are they saying?
I got it.
That's an excellent point.
Oh, babe.
I got it.
What are you got?
On the back, you have goose from Top Gun dying, that horrible, that dramatic scene.
It was so sad.
Dying?
Why, babe?
I was with you until you mentioned that scene.
You know what he, he, you know the scene.
No, we know.
That's not the saddest scenes and all of cinema.
And you see is him giving a thumbs up as he's going down.
That's my man out there.
Is that what he did?
He did not.
He did not.
He gives a thumbs up.
No.
And it's right after the other guy dies and turns into all the term.
as he's been.
Oh, right, right.
Now, the Terminator was completely submerged in lava.
He still could control his thumb.
He's like, like, did he program himself?
Like, before he went in, he might as two seconds.
It's like an earthworm.
It's like an earthworm.
Guns not good.
Oh, so all of the Terminator.
Yeah.
All parts are, you know, that can control themselves.
It all just moves into whatever's left
The thumb contains all of the Terminator
The Conscious just gets pushed up
Earthworm tech
Okay
We're not a movie podcast
We are not
You wouldn't believe it
I agree with Bernd that it's just a little
It's a lot to wrap your head around
And I don't know that we want
the goose dusting on the back babe i mean does that does that spark any ideas like what would a car horn
sound like it's saying to a goose but i also agreed that maybe the joke the punchline is on the back
of the shirt maybe we solve it by yeah i'm okay with that what if you put uh what if you put little
horns like in the armpits so if you're walking around okay sorry i thought you meant like devil horns
you mean like honka honka honka like that point i love it it's
It's not this idea, but I love it.
It's not this, but I do love it.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
And Doug, what does that accomplish?
Well, you, your problem seemed to be you were, you were missing the horn aspect.
No.
Like the honking.
No, I think you missed it entirely bit.
Okay.
I think he's thinking, well, if honking.
Honk a honk.
I guess me and Doug are just pretty confused.
Wait, can you read it to me again, Sam?
Yes, please.
Speaking of hearing you out, let me hear you out a second time.
Maybe I miss something, okay?
Maybe let me just, I'm going to close my eyes.
I'm going to picture this.
Keep honking.
Keep honking.
I'm a goose and honks sound like you're talking to me in my goose language.
So now here's my question.
A human's wearing this t-shirt, right?
Right away, I'm kind of now like, why are you saying you're a goose?
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like that, it's now two steps.
Yeah.
Right?
I'm watching you.
You're wearing a t-shirt and you're saying you're a goose.
Why are you saying you're a goose?
This is my issue with the butter in the roll.
Yes.
It's very similar.
It's very similar.
You know,
there's a story in the t-shirt industry that we talk about.
Is there?
The industry you're not in.
I would like to be if you would hear me out for a one.
And I believe we've been hearing you out.
How long have we been hearing him out, babe?
It's going to take a minute.
That's a good question.
Oh, I've never been asked at this point.
Oh.
I have been giving a little.
on the clock and I think we're okay.
I've got an answer.
Zero minutes.
You've been hearing me out.
No, Sam.
Sam, that's not true.
That's not fair.
That's a fabriciche.
Fabric.
Sam, you're telling tales.
I'm not telling tales.
I'm not, okay?
The people that I know in the t-shirt industry, who I've met many of them, I'm talking
Steve Flunders.
What?
Doug, you know who this is?
You know Steve Flunders?
Yes.
These are T-shirt industry bigwigs.
Can I hear the story?
What's the famous story from the T-shirt industry?
Okay.
The people at Haynes Big Tees took a meeting with Jeffrey Big Dogs and laughed him out of the room.
They said nobody's going to buy T-shirts with large Newfoundland dogs with puns of movies and TV shows or ideas of riding motorcycles.
Okay.
Now, what I'm gathering from this is.
is that I did not know what big dogs
t-shirts were
and now I'm finding out there
quite literally
t-shirts with big dog
that's right they're big Newfoundland dogs
yes they're always
they're very crazy
yes they're very crazy
it's like they're just about as common
as you know the t-shirt
are they the same guys who did
you know the t-shirt
where you're wearing a bikini
no no no but I know those guys
how do you feel about those
because those are pretty classic
I mean those have endured
taste wise they're not for me
but I love that they tried something.
Is there a phrase for those in the business?
Is there like a, like a, is it a derogatory term?
Because there's also, you have the muscle man tea, you know, where you're on muscle meat.
You got tuxedo.
You got tuxedo.
You got a tuxedo.
You got Big Johnson.
What about those?
What are those?
Big Johnson is nasty, nasty stuff.
Big Johnson gets a little racy.
The idea is it's a ads for a bigness, business.
A big.
That's what Haynes beefy tees is.
Big Miss shirts.
They're a bigness.
There are ads for a fake business
called Big Johnson's.
And the whole idea is like
Big Johnson's poker in the front,
liquor in the back.
Oh gosh.
Oh God.
My twins would love those.
That are blue and nasty.
I don't strike this business.
I'm sorry.
That was my first thought.
I apologize.
They're everywhere.
You can't take about like that.
You told us that story
because those people were laughed out
of the room.
And so are you identifying with them?
You feel.
You're the person who's being laughed out of the room.
I'm saying keep honking.
I'm a goose.
Oh, wait, what?
Keep honking.
I'm a goose.
It talks sound like you're talking to me in my goose language.
Okay.
It's going to be the same as the dog father t-shirts that you see at any boardwalk,
motorcycle rally, ironic hangout in the country.
They're big with the bikers.
Yes.
I didn't realize.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
You put a big dog on your big mama, get on the hog.
Bigger than if you can read this, the bitch fell off.
they're in the same zone.
No, look at you're well-versed in these t-shirts.
I know more about biker t-shirts than I do about these other t-shirts.
It's one of the only t-shirts that's a sequel.
If you can read this, I'm the bitch that fell off.
Okay.
If she's on the back of the bike.
I'm really surprised you know so much about shirts and you're still being so.
Sam, don't even say it.
I have been open-minded.
Joan's been open-minded.
Doug's been very open-minded.
You know, I saw a t-shirt, my one that I loved this summer was a,
wearing a titian saying I'm nicer when I have a tan and boy oh boy is that true
that's nice you could do a spin on that you know you know that's a market I'm not really
versed in I think as we get larger that would be interesting to me okay okay but I just don't
want to speak in a point of view that's not one that I appreciate that I appreciate that
but see but then but then you're talking about being a goose you know so what what is it
is there a picture of a goose could it be yeah I want to know that too
Is there a picture of a goose?
Because we can afford it.
We want the truth.
You can't handle the goose.
Did you or did you not order the X-L?
You know what?
We live in a world with bodies.
And those bodies need to be covered by shirts.
Who's going to do it, you?
You need me making me shirts.
You want me on that rack.
yeah i played lieutenant kendrick in a high school production of did you really i did yeah good for
you we got training from a marine one day and he said do the line decandal the truth and i screamed
it really bad and he went it's all right who is lieutenant kendrick that that's jack nicholson
he only a lieutenant i guess so i assume he was a higher up to that for given his age
It could be Colonel Kendrick.
It might be.
But it's Jetsb.
It's Colonel Jesse.
Gensup.
Kendrick's the other one.
You're right.
It is Jetsup.
So who did you play?
I played Jessup.
Excuse me.
I got the names mixed up.
That, now, that one I was never in.
I was never in it.
I know.
But you knew all the dialogue.
I did.
I did, too.
I've seen the movie.
You know, I went to a high school,
a theater camp where you arrived as a junior in,
in high school for your summer.
It was at a university and everyone comes from all over the country and you're like,
oh my gosh, everyone's a drama nerd and you have to do your audition in front of everybody
because they're going to put you in one of eight shows, right, that you're going to put together
for the summer.
And everyone did things like normal things like Shakespeare or they sang a song or, you know,
they did like something from Neil Simon and a boy literally got up and very much sat in a chair
and delivered that entire monologue.
And it was...
We're talking to junior in high school?
Yes.
I would have paid so much.
moment of my life. I can one up it.
Oh, please. I did the whole
Ezekiel 2417 speech
from whole fiction in a high school
audition. And the teacher was very upset.
Wow. Wow.
Okay.
Was it greeted with furious anger?
Yes. And I knew their name was the Lord.
This, this goose thing is really, really,
gotten us so off track and I think we should just go to the next day I think we should go I would
love to hear I think I'd love to hear you up I'd say the best for last okay great okay all right
all right this is a picture of Garfield the cat oh picture see it's so helpful okay why does
Garfield hate Mondays he doesn't even have a job the weekend has no meaning to him
it's a good point it's pretty straightforward now what is Garfield doing it can be a little
punchier me what is he doing he's laying he's laying down
kind of upset. Okay. And maybe there's a calendar
behind them that says Monday
September. I'm going to say this to you. And I want you to think
I love it. I feel like you're adding stuff in the moment because you're feeling
what'd you say, babe. Don't, don't ask.
I want to know.
No, you don't. He's my husband. A lot of times I miss what he says in the podcast.
It's another one of my goals. I want to make sure I'm always catching what he's saying.
What did you say, baby? I said 11th. Because he said I filled in the calendar
date. Okay. You're right. I didn't need to hear that.
I tried to save you.
so um a goose oh are you okay oh wait a minute yeah just clear my through
wow that was very dramatic I'm goose like so speaking of geese the accusation is that I'm
part goose it's absurd let's put a pin in that for now let's definitely put a pin in that
i would say that a goose is bless you open it's open to anyone to draw you could have you could draw
Any goose you want.
Sure.
Garfield, the cat, is a copywritten...
Yes, this was my question as well.
Copyrighted image.
Yes.
Right.
That you would be committing...
You'd be breaking the law.
Yes.
If you were to put Garfield on the shirt.
But...
Might be another reason why you're not getting investors
because, you know, they're worried you're going to use these...
Yeah.
Whereas you could absolutely have a goose on a t-shirt.
You could.
To help support...
And you should.
You could and you should.
But Garfield, you don't need to have him...
on the shirt in order to have the the joke work saying yeah i agree with that burnt what do you say
to that now that is us listening hearing you out and i'd also cut it off after garfield doesn't even
have a job it wouldn't continue it does kind of run on no because people are like well so why does that
matter and it's you have to point out what you mean by that you don't have to i don't know that you do we're
saying you don't have to yeah i think this is one of those moments we did indeed that's what we're
Your audience is smarter than you think.
Also, but Garfield is, he wouldn't like Mondays because John is gone on Mondays.
He hates John.
He hates John.
He hates John and Mondays.
Also, he doesn't work one day a week, the guy, right?
I don't even know what his job is, yeah.
Honestly, John is a messed up, sad individual.
Like, his life is bleak.
No, he's very pathetic.
He's very pathetic.
He's very pathetic.
He's a terrible boyfriend.
His relationship with his girlfriend is terrible.
I forgot.
Sometimes he has a girlfriend.
Yeah.
and they treat her terribly.
So anyways.
Who's they?
Odie, Garfield, normal.
All of them.
All of them.
Justice for her.
I don't remember her name.
Did Garfield live in the world with the egg that had legs?
What now?
From the farm.
Yes.
The wacky acres.
The same something acres.
It would play in the tree.
Right.
Same drawing style.
Orson.
Okay.
Now I vaguely remember this.
I think the egg's name was like something like egg bird or it was in that world.
Oh, eggs.
Eggbert. What are you doing?
Igbert. I have a fever.
Igbert. I have a fever.
Go check on the children. I have a fever.
Make sure they don't have a fever.
Liz was her name.
The girlfriend.
Thank you, Doug.
Thank you, Doug. That was very helpful.
Thank you. That was helpful.
That was the hanging thread that we needed to tie up.
Should we get back to that pin about him being a goose?
Yes.
You did say.
you didn't say a very frankly suspicious manner that you were not part goose if that's what we were thinking
felt like the accusation was inches away and I just had to get out of head no I've never thought that of anyone no I didn't know that would and I think that's one of the reasons why since we would never think that of anyone this that t-shirt is tricky and I think it needs a picture of a goose somewhere I think a goose needs to be saying it on the t-shirt do you see what I'm saying I do and can I ask you flat out are you part goose
I do not recall.
You cannot recall.
This is not.
You're not a trial.
You're not under oath.
I do not recall.
I've been advised to say I do not recall.
Oh, boy.
That's everyone's favorite answer.
If there's some sort of assumption or suggestion that I was a goose who magically got turned
into a man's body and my dream, my whole life of being a goose, was to invent funny t-shirts
that I'd been thinking up while looking at bumper stickers of cars because my head was too
lot of read people's t-shirts.
I'll say right now that I categorically do not remember.
And I cannot recall.
There's so much from pack here.
We are running low on time.
We really are.
Also, is he a goose that only walked but never flew?
Because he's saying I was only at the eye level of the cars and I couldn't see people.
Goose could look up and see a t-shirt?
I would think so.
If a goose can read.
Can I ask Sam what your last name is?
Uh, Guzman.
Gooseman.
I mean, it's so on the nose.
Louis Guzman.
How hard is that us?
Mine is an American Guzman.
Okay.
All right.
Let's not, let's calm down.
Sam Guzman.
Well, I don't know.
Maybe that does wrap it up for us because to be honest, that's pretty, that's pretty
direct.
I have to say burnt, I don't know.
Yeah.
I think what we're dealing with here is like clearly a case of a man.
And that's why his t-shirt ideas aren't that.
They're a little bit off.
Yeah, that's right.
Just they're almost there.
Yeah.
They're almost there.
I like the idea, though, that he saw bumper speakers.
Yes, I was inspired.
They should be on shirts.
Yes.
And you know what?
You're a visionary, Sam.
Thank you very much.
You really are.
I feel like we finally heard me out right at the end.
Oh, good. I'm so glad. And I really appreciate that. We won't be investing. I don't think.
I think you can speak for both of us. Yes. I will not be investing. That's all right.
You have to talk to my husband because I bet you anything right now. He's got a lot of ideas about
who's man. Oh, I'm sure he's out of the iron lung and into the checkbook.
Doug, what say you? Do you have any ideas that just aren't like, do you ever shape the t-shirts in a different way?
Is that what happened? What do you mean, shape them? I just feel like we're trapped in the same shape of t-shirt.
Do you think because of the human body?
I guess we could make a shirt with like a really long neck.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Long turtle neck.
Like a turtle neck.
Yeah. Goose neck, whatever you want to call it.
Goose neck.
Sure.
You know, the classic.
Goose neck, goose ass shirts.
Oh, goose neck.
Big bottoms.
Big hem.
Yeah.
Right.
Wide enough to.
Wide load.
wide load
that could be a t-shirt
yeah why it probably is
it already is yeah
someone's wearing it someone on a bike is wearing it
swore I'm sorry I apologize I'm so mad about those shirts
you could do goose ass shirts
like kind of like those juicy
those juicy pants
goose ass on the bed oh I see
goose assy
instead of juicy
where does it go
it's just like it's like a
victorious secret thing I think it used to be
and it would say the word juicy
across the butt or something you know
I thought Juicy was its own company.
See, I thought it was an offshoot of a Victoria secret.
You're explaining the thing that actually exists to me.
Trying to ground you.
Okay.
You're explaining the thing that actually exists to me and I'm aware of that.
Oh, got it.
I'm asking Doug about the goose ass shirt.
Well, he's just, oh, the goose ass shirt.
Yeah, I don't know about that one.
Oh, are you asking about?
Where would go?
You just want to know where Goosey would go.
Yes.
Where the word would go?
Where the word would go?
Oh, on the butt, right?
Yeah, where the word would be.
Where the juicy would go.
Yeah, I do know what he's talking about.
But it's a shirt.
Yeah, but it covers the butt.
That's right.
He wants it to be.
Yes, it goes.
It has like, you know, like a, but it stretches tight over the butt is what I'm imagining
he's pictured.
You know the old polo shirts?
It doesn't fit.
You know, the polo shirts where it has the kind of back skirt.
We've forgotten our guests.
Really long.
Yeah.
And it says Goosey.
No, I love this.
Okay.
Maybe the S is or the Stoosy S's.
Yeah.
Goosey.
Like Stozy.
I don't know why not.
It sounds.
I'll tell you why not.
because that's also a copywritten thing.
Yeah, you can't, you can't just do that.
But I, I, um, I wish you luck in your journey because it sounds like you're on sort of
almost like a, well, an otherworldly, uh, journey at this moment.
Yeah, this is, this is kind of magical.
Yeah.
Um, and, uh, I do think you have some good ideas.
I think you need to learn more.
I think maybe observe humans more.
I'm going to say that without any judgment as to what you are, but I would like you to
observe humans more, maybe.
I would also say, um, if,
if you were a goose transformed into a human being,
there's so much more that you could and should be doing
than trying to get the T-shirt business.
I mean, you could be a bridge between the human and animal kingdoms.
This is true. Amazing.
And that could lead to us saving our planet that we share together.
And clearing out that crosswalk in town.
That would be, I'd start there.
I'd start at a community grassroots level, you know.
Go out there into the community of animals.
and people.
Yeah.
I mean,
having someone
who can speak
to both the animal
and human world
is I think an invaluable resource
and I really would stop
wasting your fucking time
T-shirts.
Okay.
Burns.
We were,
let's end on a positive note.
I apologize.
I apologize.
I'm thinking about it now
and it's getting me kind of worked up.
I just wish you would have continued
to hear me out.
I heard you all the way.
But we did.
I believe we did.
We heard you out about this.
And then you were telling me
these crazy things
like you want to talk to geese
and there's
some assumption that because I might be a goose,
I can communicate with other animals.
Nothing can be learned between human goose communication.
Can I ask?
Can I say that right now?
Nothing.
Not a thing. Not a thing.
It's a dead end, burnt.
It's a dead end.
Are you the guy that sort of hangs out on the golf course all the time
and you're always getting in the way of the ball?
That's not how I would characterize it.
But yes, I spend time there.
Wait, wait, wait.
Are you the guy that won't let people go in and out of the supermarket?
They try to go there and then you just appear out of no.
Oh, and you chase after them.
You run after them.
I'm the guy protecting my kids near the supermarket when people come out, go close to them.
I would say that's true.
Okay.
I honest to God, I wish we had talked about this first.
I know, because it's not why I'm here.
I understand that.
I've seen you get hit by the golf ball so hard, and you just don't even move.
Come right at you if you hit that at me.
I'll come right at you.
I'm not scared of you.
Okay.
Well, Sam.
Oh, cool.
thank you
for being here
I'm sorry we couldn't help you
I'm sorry you couldn't help us
but as well
meetings have to end
with that much empathy
We'll return with the neighbor
listen when the neighbor listen
returns
Hi everybody
this is Heidi
I have free mannequins
I don't have any other information.
I figured it was best to just put this picture of the mannequins laying down.
I tried to lay them down in the most disturbing way possible.
And so that is what you're looking at.
And I just, yes, I am a huge fan of Law and Order SVU, if you must know.
And sometimes I like to try to make up my own episodes.
but I've been told by my neighbors to stop that.
So I've got all these free mannequins.
And if you can figure out what it is to the left of the last mannequins' feet,
the thing that's black, I don't know what it is, but it creeps me out.
You can come and get that too.
Thank you, free mannequins.
And we're back.
Now, Joan.
Okay.
Do you think Sam Goosman?
Really didn't expect it to meet that on the nose.
Do you think he truly was a goose who got turned into a human?
If we, if we had not had a guest a few years ago, that was indeed a squirrel, I would have said there's no chance.
But since we already accepted that happening on this podcast.
Did we fully accept it?
I'm pretty sure.
I don't think we fully questioned it after.
We still have questions if that really happened or not.
Oh, really?
Yes.
It was a weird time.
It was a weird time.
Of course, I couldn't see it.
the whole time.
Yeah, that's true.
I still wonder what you two saw.
That's true.
It was, well, and he wasn't in my house.
It was when we were using, like, you know, a Zoom situation.
That's how we just, so I think that's another reason why we may be questioned.
Because it was a filter.
It could have been.
It never even occurred to me.
It could have absolutely been a filter.
Oh, my gosh.
Those fooled me many times.
I feel stupid.
But Mr. Gooseman was really here in front of it.
He really was.
And here's what makes me question it.
Yes.
Let's say a human being wanted to be an animal.
You'd want to do that because you'd want the freedom of just being a wild free creature.
Everyone wants to fly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If you wanted to be a goose, it's because you wanted to fly.
Correct. That's it.
That's the end of the list.
That's the end of the list.
Why else would you want to be a goose?
It's a big, it's a big bird.
If you're going to be a, if you want to fly, want to be a bigger bird.
Yeah, I'd be a heron.
Great legs.
It's pretty.
I worry about herons.
I worry about their legs, I guess.
You were either and all of a sudden bend the wrong way.
They're so spindly.
They're so spindly.
They're spinly.
How do they make it with those legs?
How do they make it with those legs?
This is a roast of herons.
You ever look at your pinky finger and just wonder that?
I do.
I'm sorry, babe.
What?
Or you just think, like, how have I made it all this way without just breaking this thing?
Doug, are you in an iron lung or a big bong?
It's like if you just held like a twig, your whole.
whole life and you never broke it.
Wait, what are you talking about?
If you were trusted with a little twig, the day you were born.
Why would anyone entrust you with anything the day you're born?
Who does that?
I'd point out that plenty of people have broken their pinkies.
Are you saying that you think pinkies are?
I have not, no.
Yeah, so congratulations.
That's a miracle.
It's a miracle.
It's a miracle.
It's a miracle.
Doug.
I'm saying like our eyes.
Oh, God.
If you were entrusted with two marbles the day you were born, then you never lost one.
You need to get out of there immediately, babe.
You were losing it.
I think I'm making it.
You know what?
I think I'm making it.
I will say, Doug, I'm going to say this.
I would say it's a miracle that any of us make it at all every single day, much less focusing
on individual parts.
Honestly, that is so well said, burnt.
And listen, I do, having children, I do look at that.
And I just think, oh, wow, how have they not broken every bone in their body?
you know because and somehow they haven't yeah things like that like everyone says everyone says
those things about their kids um but yeah it is true i mean uh i i i the analogy of giving a baby
something on the day they're born to be taking care of it that you lost me a little bit there
baby but i but i get what you're saying it is crazy how any of us make it through this nutty
nutty day in this nutty life but so this guy he's a goose and then the the only thing you want
His prime directive is got to make t-shirts.
Got to make t-shirts.
Funny t-shirts.
Yes.
There's nothing else as a human being, the apex predator of planet Earth.
Wait, say the beginning part.
There's nothing else he wants to do as a human.
That was the end, babe.
Right before apex predator.
There's nothing else he wants to do as a human being, the apex predator of planet Earth.
Got it.
I guess that's true.
We have the ability to wipe out.
We have the ability to wipe out every creature.
I guess that's true.
Wow.
You know?
It's turned dark.
Yeah.
So all he wants to do is make t-shirt.
With that much power.
I don't know.
I'm not sure that every,
I think he's still very much a goose in a man's body.
I'm not sure it's like a situation where he,
I think that would happen if like the human brain went into the goose
and the goose became super intelligent.
I think in this case, a goose brain went into a man.
Okay, but I'm not making sense.
Joan, I really
I hate to sign with Doug on this one.
I guess I'm confused as to how he is a goose and a man.
Did he discuss?
It's a goose's consciousness in a human's body.
Right. That's what I'm saying.
And all he was made fucking t-shirt.
What I'm saying is that's a goose brain.
Do you really think a goose brain has like that kind of a thought?
a thinking ability. Do you know what I'm saying?
Yes, because I would say the goose is true.
It's like with Frankenstone, but young Frankenstein, it's like when they put the
Abbey normal brain into the man, he acts abnormal and he's not highly intelligent.
Not that time you just say Frankenstone.
I just now.
When I said Young Frankenstein?
No, I said Young Frankenstein.
Yes, I had to say Frankenstone just to bring it back.
I was calling back when I mentioned Frankenstone earlier.
I did it on purpose.
I think a goose brain.
It didn't help anything, though.
I'm sorry.
Do you know what I mean?
A goose brain.
How big is a goose brain?
This is going to be...
A goose brain is not going to be thinking about world domination.
That's my point.
Will you just hear me out?
You just hear me out?
And then me after you.
Because, sure.
And then me again.
A goose...
Don't forget the order.
Don't forget the order.
A goose is an animal that has a very limited capacity for understanding.
Exactly.
You would think they'd be driven more by instinct than by business.
Oh, I can't.
Fair enough.
But that goose is...
I don't think a goose is going around thinking.
about world domination even as a goose.
I'm not saying world domination, but I'm saying
as the apex predator, wouldn't you want to do
something else? You now have, you can do whatever
you want. You have more power than you've ever had in your life.
Why would you, the first thing you, the thing
you settle on his t-shirts? And I guess all I'm saying is
maybe the goose brain cannot actually wrap its head
around the fact that what has the opportunity
of what you're saying. I can't believe.
I don't know how they get as far as T-shirts and then
they don't get any further than that. Now you go, Doug.
Okay. And then jump.
And then me.
I feel like you just went.
me
Joan
No Joan did not
show
now you're going
again
I responded to
I responded to
burnt
yes she was
addressing my point
Doug
don't pout
he can hear it
through the microphone
I can't help
a pout
right now
no you can help
help a pout
you can't control
it
what's your point
a goose brain
might not be
capable
of a lot
but it
would be, is this a teard?
I'm getting choked up.
I can hear in your voice.
It's really, I'm sorry.
You should get out of that thing.
What lends credibility to the Goosman theory?
What does IRA lends credibility?
No, no, no, there's no IRA.
What lens credibility to the Gooseman theory?
I believe I do think a goose would be thinking, yeah, keep
honking that I like it
because it makes sense in my goose language
right I think that's what goose
are thinking that does sound like
a t-shirt a goose would design it does
that's why it makes no sense for a human to wear it
that's why it makes no sense for a human
to wear it yes
and what I was going to say I ended up
saying in my response to you it is my turn now
it is my turn but I'm going to right now
it's very big of you Doug I'd rather
reclaim my time just to read another post
reclaiming your time
sustained
Oh, no.
Okay, so this is from Katie with a C.
And this says, try not to judge.
This says sourdough starter, but there's no punctuation after it.
It just says sourdough starter.
And then underneath it says, are there any sourdough bakers out there that would be willing to share a bit of their discard after the next feeding of your starter?
Guys, so unpleasant.
I know sourdough became a big deal.
couple years ago when we were all inside, but I don't know anything about what she's talking
about. And it is disgusting to me. It sounds very disgusting. What in that hell is she actually
talking about? I don't know. I never heard about the discard. Oh my. God, it's so
uncomfortable. God, it's so upsetting. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. So you need to tell me that what,
you just take a tiny little like a, like a, like a cutting of a plant. So like you just pull off
a piece. I believe it is like that. You just put it in a bowl. And then what? And then what is.
Add water and then it grows into a loaf of breath. I don't think it's a plant. The next
feeding of your starter like what are we talking about i think you have to you have to add on to the
starter what do you add more ingredients i really don't know i i i know the concept of
i think we talked about than we ever have you do feed it okay what do you feed it babe probably
like flies and stuff no flies dug dug like you're talking about feeding bread dough actual flies
what are you talking about that would be in your bread fly bread no thank you no that's in the
star bread no thank you the starter absorbs it you think that's a t-shirt after today i think anything
could be a t-shirt you really open up the possibility didn't it no they don't have digestive
properties it's not going to break down the fly i was picturing i was thinking it was like
audrey maybe i knew that's exactly what he was thinking that's exactly what he was thinking
Little Shop of Horace is exactly...
Because you heard the word feed.
Feed.
You thought that means it must have a giant mouth.
Absolutely.
Yes.
This makes me not...
I was thinking of maybe getting into sourdough.
I will never do it.
Now I might not even ever look at sourdough again.
Oh, I hope that's not true.
Oh, no.
Oh, I hope that's not true.
Oh, Albert.
I hope you still eat sourdough.
Robert, you need a starter.
Discard.
Discard.
Oh, no.
Robert.
The sourdough has a fever.
The starter has a fever.
Feed the starter.
the sourdough. Starve the sourdough. Feed the sourdough.
There's not enough to go around for the children.
Wow. Well, this has been quite a first episode.
It really has. I mean.
We really ran around a bunch of subjects. We just.
It feels more like a 13th episode than a first episode.
It does. What does it mean that we're starting here with a potential, a potential goose in a man's body?
Oh, I don't know.
Don't go Frankenstone on me.
Is that a t-shirt?
Something.
There better be a t-shirt that comes out of this episode, is all I have to say.
I bet there is.
There should be at least one.
I bet there is.
It might be that goose one.
It really might be the goose one.
He still says he's not going to know.
He probably switches back soon.
I don't know the rules.
Whoever granted him this day of humanity is probably very disappointed.
It's a 24-hour thing for sure.
It's probably you squandered it.
You're a goose again.
All right.
Well, thank you so much for.

sketch fest. We will. In January, I believe that's a Sunday. It is January 17th, I think. Does that
sound familiar? Let's make sure of that. Or 18th. I believe it's the 18th. We're going to look at the
calendar right now. I'm looking at it right now. I'm looking at it right now. I apologize to sourdough.
You're right. We better get, make sure we're okay with sourdough as a concept before we get up there.
Oh, I guess that's true. And rice.
I'm fine with rice. I have no problem. So yes, again, that day, that is.
the 18th of January, 2026, and we will provide more information like the venue and all that
