And this is the podcast that explores the neighborhood of Dignity Falls through the eyes of its many residents. We are some of those residents. Who am I, you ask?

My name is Burt Mia Payday. I am the pharmacist in chief of the Dignity Falls, Missy, right here in Dignity Falls. And with me, as always is, jump pedestrian. I'm the local realtor and local actress. Two for one, baby. Local twice over. Well, you know what happens. A lot of times, if someone decides to buy a house, I give them a discount to my latest show.

That is a great deal. People love it. You get a house and a show. Hold on a second. When they spend the money to buy a house, you give them a discount. Yeah, well, I said the billboard, my billboard, which says, if you lived here, you'd be seeing my show right now. That's also, now, Joan, I think you're terrific, and I'm a big fan. You know, I'm your number one fan.

Is that right? Yes. Certainly not Mitch McNutt. Even town critic. I hate him. Please stop spitting on my floor when I say his name. I'm sorry, but he disgust me. Just find a different way to express it.

Last time you said you want to cut his dick off. Well, I do. And I'll go further and say. That was a step too far. And I would like to feed it to it. That was a step too. Oh, God. That made my headphones come off.

Well, he's just, I don't, yeah, I don't care for. There's a darkness in you that I have yet to explain. Oh, Joan. And feed it to him. A darkness in me. Do you think our listeners want to hear that? Someone could have been driving. They might have crashed the car.

You know, somebody wants to hear it. I think it's a big world. Joan. You know what? We're not going to turn this around. You're not going to make me feel bad for what you said. That's the last thing I'm trying to joke. It's the last thing I'm trying to do.

When you repeat what you say several times, I know that you're on the defense. I know that you know you're wrong. Anyways, when I repeat things? Let's not spend any more time on this, okay? Yes, I did ring it up. to your question. I know what I shouldn't have. To answer your question, yes, I do,

you wanted to know more details about selling her. Sorry, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry. So you thought it was okay, people were okay with hearing that I wanted to cut his dick off? No, I don't think so. I was going to go further and explain, but we already pushed it.

That's the part that you brought up? We already pushed it. I know it is. I was setting up to apologize to our fan, not our fans, our listeners. We're not a fan, we're only have listeners. We don't want to be very clear.

We don't want to be presumptuous. We certainly don't. And I don't want to be presumptuous that that's what our fans want to hear. That's not the kind of content they come here for, for that kind of violent. But you know some of them do. Why do you keep saying that? Do you get secret DMs? Are you getting any DMs about, hey, Burt, love the dick bit, want more?

I have gotten some DMs where people say, I wish you guys would just hypothesize about some more violent scenarios. You have gotten actual DMs. Yes. For more than one person. Violent scenarios were their words. Yes. Wow.

People, there was a guy. I'm presumed I'm presumed it's a guy. Of course. Of course it was. I love violent scenarios. Could you squeeze more of them in? He knows this podcast is not about that at all. He acknowledged that.

He did. He said, I understand. This is not what you're, the purpose of your podcast. All right. Let me all right. You know, everyone hates things out of context. I'll just go context, please.

Let me look it up. Source. Dear, dear Byrne, well, I'm not crazy about that. Love the show. I listen to it every time it comes out. Why are you, you're peaking. You don't believe me? I did, listeners, I did lean over the island because it's really big.

Dear Byrne. And I looked at his screen. It is. Deer burn. Across the island. Dear Byrne, I love the show. I listen to it every time it comes out. While I know this is not the main thrust of your program,

I wouldn't mind hearing some more violent scenarios. It doesn't have to be super violent. It could be just pushing someone to the ground. But I really love hearing these things and love hearing you and Joan talk about it, especially when Joan will chastise you for doing such a thing. Oh, well, asked an answer.

Delivered today. We delivered for you, sir. Just a humble request from someone who hopes to be a fan one day. Wait a minute. Oh, that sweet hopes to be a fan. fan one day. Yes. Did it, what's the, what's the handle of that person?

The name is redacted. I'm not going to. Redacted. Yes, I've redacted the name. I've put a black square over that. Okay, right. Yes, that's what that means. All right.

Well, at least we did what he wanted this time because you just, we talked about violence. I chastised you for it and I think that we've checked that box. Yes. So you're welcome. You're welcome. Hopefully your fan by now. Anyways, uh, that is wild, burnt.

I did not realize you to that you were going to produce the proof. And that's just one. the proof. Right, but I think it is just the one. No, there's been others. Oh, you're kidding me. I don't really want you to read one more, but maybe look up one more so we can read it later. If I'm honest, there's only been...

Oh, good. Thank you for being honest. I appreciate that. Now, when we last... Did you not want to... Nope. Go for it. I'm sorry. I thought you... Well, this person put the tea on at least. That's good. Yes, they did. Okay, great. Hello, burnt. Longtime listener.

Period. As a Dignity Falls resident, I love getting to know my neighbors in varied ways. We are a quirky neighborhood, and I really love that about us. Could you please talk about some violent scenarios? Wait, they said the same thing, violent scenarios? Yes, Joe, this is what I'm telling you. This is what I'm telling you. It's just a weird way to put it.

I know. Like they don't even care. You know what it sounds like? It sounds like they don't. don't even care if it happened. They just want to hear us. Did you read this already? We don't kinkshame on this show. Of course not. But if that's your thing, they just want to hear us talk about violence, even if it's not real. That's what this person said. No kidding. It said, it doesn't have to be real, but I would love it if it sounded like it could happen. Is that so weird? I just

said that. And then that's exactly what they were going to say. You read their mind. What a coincidence. Well, I mean, it makes me feel like we're tapping into something that we didn't mean to tap into. Correct. And I think we should, I think we should tamp it down. The writer goes on to say. Like, what if someone rushed the cabin of a 747? Oh, no, they're giving a burnt. I don't want you to read one of them. You said, a joke, you absolutely said you wanted to hear it.

Well, I take it back. I take it back, all right? Oh, my goodness. No, this is terrible. It's not great. It's not great. I thought our listeners were sort of like a very sort of genteel, cuddly nature.

This is not that. No. This is not that. Well, I would like to just, let's move on right now. I don't need to hear the third one. I agree. I agree. And I want to talk about.

Let's stick with the rule of twos. I think it's satisfying for everybody. Yep. I really want to talk about Gabby because when we were last talking last week, you spent the night on Sproon Mountain, the Lackard Sproon Mountain, which as we all know,

is a bunch of Kleenexes because of everyone's allergies that then gets lacquered and down square. And nobody wanted it because we tried to shop it out to other cities this year didn't work.

Yes. So you ended up having a black eye. For some reason, you drew another one on to match it. I didn't have a black eye. I didn't sleep well and I had a dark circle. I was from the crows pecking you awake.

I know. The crows did not peck my face, Joan. Why are you rewriting history? I am not. You did not. You did not specify what part of your body. No, I didn't. And you knew I was going to infer

that it was your eyes. It's interesting that you said. Does this count as a violent scenario? Because it feels like one. Well, but it's not a hypothetical. This really happened. I had a dark circle under one eye from lack of sleep. And then because it was mismatched, I drew another one on it.

I know. I understand that. So it would look weird. I understand. It looked much better. The crows pecked at my chest, if you must know. Okay. Oh my God.

You should see this, everybody. Talk about violent. That is just open my shirt. Those are open wounds. They're not that open. They're ajar wounds. Is that a technical pharmacist term? It is actually.

Okay. I've never heard of my jar wound. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Well, anyways, what you found at the note is it said from her, this is his girlfriend Gabby, that she was back home and you had not time to go back home to check. So I want to know the burning question. Is she back home?

She was back home. Oh, thank goodness. I went back to our place and she was there. And it was what a classic scenario. The lights are off. Oh, I see a shadowy figure. I turn on the lights. There she is sitting behind the kitchen table.

Oh, God. Just waiting for me. Oh, no. Yes. This is like a Blumhouse film. Yeah. Was she turned her back to you? Because then I would never enter.

No. She was looking straight at me. Okay. Yeah, she was looking straight at me. But with all the lights off? Yeah. And did you turn the mom when you went inside? Yes.

Oh, thank God. Okay. So you're staring at her. What happens? She said, hello, burnt. And I said, Gabby, you're home. She said, for now. Oh, heavens.

Yeah. This is chilling. I don't know what's going on. What happened next? I walked toward the table. Okay. She put up her hand. Ooh.

Not a word. Put up her hand. I stopped in my tracks. I bet. I did myself. She stood up from the table. Big sigh. Oh.

She started walking around the table. She said, you know, Bert, it's funny. Oh, she like started monologize. thing. You guys are in a pinter play now. Long pause. She resumed walking around with her. Oh, boy. I was transfixed. I bet. She said, you know, Burn, it's funny.

She said it twice. When you said, remember that time we almost got married, I was filled with an incantescent rage. Oh. And I left and I made you. Hunt me down. And you tried, but you couldn't do it. I had to really make it easy for you.

Oh, wow. She's walking so slow. This is actually a monologue. She's walking so slow. Okay, I'm picturing it. But as I was waiting here with the lights off, and yes, the lights have been off for a few hours because I wasn't sure when you were going to get back here.

I mean, I still have questions about that, but go on. And yes, I'm a little sore from sitting in a kitchen chair for that long. Okay. I realized something. You're doing the best you can. With the brain you have. Oh.

With the brain you have. I started to cry. Of course. A single tear rolled down my cheek. Oh. Nice. You're matching her for drama burnt. I like that.

Well, I wasn't trying to do that. Well. I can't cry on cue. Well played. Well played. Thank you, I guess. Now she's standing right in front of me. Okay.

And she said, there's something about that brain. Oh. That I find fascinating. Uh-huh. She did not say facts. No, I didn't imagine that. I didn't imagine that. It doesn't sound like her.

She would, she's, you know why? Because she rehearsed this. Trust me. She rehearsed it. I don't know if she did. Maybe she did. By the way, I want to use this as a monologue, by the way. So there's something about that.

I would nail this. I think that you would crush it. I love the walking around the table. It's so. good. I tried. It's very effective. It's an old theater trick, by the way. Walking around the table? Oh, yeah. It's how Marshall G. Harden got her second nomination. For a Tony? Sure. Everyone knows the walk around the table. Well, she won for God of Carnage. But everyone knows the walking around the table. It's a classic. I tried to. I did it and steal

magnolias. But it was a very small table. And it was really not as effective because I got very dizzy. And you know what Mitch McMahon got into this review because it was small. The table was so small. You were going two fast. Your revolution's right. And Mitch McNutt wrote into this review, jump pedestrian was

walking around the table. She should have walked right off the stage. And I almost did because I was so dizzy. How small was the table? It was like a little end table for a couch.

Did you not request like during rehearsals, can we get a bigger table in here? I, you know, it's the thing is it was like I kind of wanted to save it as a surprise. You know,

it's that thing where sometimes, like when you do rehearsal sometimes you're supposed to have a kiss, you're like, let's skip the kiss for now. You know, people get nervous about that or you want to just like surprise your partners or your scene partners, you know, so it was something I didn't really try out.

People love that? Love that. Save it for in front of an audience. Yes, yes, absolutely. He was spontaneous, you know? Yes, yes, yes. So I didn't think it through. I mean, listen, I'll admit that.

I didn't think it through. And I just sort of, I saw it. I side-eyed it. I was like, I side-eyed that side table. I was like, I don't know, that might be a problem later. But, you know, I got, I was just so involved in just everything else. It's memorization of the lines and everything, you know. There's a lot to think about it.

I hated my wig. Why did you hate your wig so much? Well, I mean, they say it's supposed to look like a football. I was playing Malin, you know, the part that Sally Field made famous. The wig's supposed to look like a football. It's referenced in the script. And, you know, they make fun of her hair at first, you know, that they just, it makes like a big foot, it looks like a football helmet.

Well, I think it means like a football helmet. Okay. That's different. This was a long time ago. I can't remember my lines now. I thought this was like a Hey Arnold situation. Was he the one with the football head? I feel like it.

I'm not sure. Anyways, I didn't mean to interrupt this. That was such a tangent and I apologize. That's quite all right. But that's probably the only time I'll get to talk in the, in this first section. Joan. No, it's fine, because we, do you know who we haven't even talked to you yet? We haven't even talked to Doug yet.

Who? Oh, come on. Oh, my God, Doug. Listen, and listen, let's first finish. Let's first finish. Oh, fine. Well, say hi to Doug really quickly. Doug's in the Rainforest Cafe.

No. Yes, yes. Now meaning he built. Desperately wanted one. He started talking about some people online. There's like a meme going around about like, remember Rainforest Cafe and like, you know, the body shop, you know, these very like cool like, you know, Whale sounds, you know, music and shops that were new agey in the 90s.

And he was like, you know, Reefers Cafe was a good time. You know, it was just a good time. And he liked it because it was kind of like going to a zoo, but not. And you could eat. And all the animals were always awake because they were fake. The worst part of going to the zoo is you see those animals eating like, that's making me hungry. Exactly.

Why don't we get free food here? Right, but they never have good food at the zoo. No one's ever like, oh, we had this great lunch at the zoo. Oh, first date. You know where you should take it. The zoo. Make sure you finish with the dip and dots. Ice cream of the future.

So, Doug, you've built a rainforest cafe? Yeah. It's true. What is that noise? Here's what he's done. He did. Oh, that's supposed to be the whale sound. Oh, that whale is in trouble.

Is that the loneliest whale? The one with the sinus. Can't understand? That whale has long COVID. Oh, I think the speaker must be. That's surprised to be the whale sound. I would ask you to stop that, babe. Can you please stop that?

Because I don't know what that's doing to our listeners. Oh, there's a whale. There's a whale. Well, well, this sounds like a video game. Are you back in the Tron room? By the way. I borrow some. is all you've gotten so far is just sounds is there no actual building yet it's pretty complicated

I'm looking over these these documents how to build one there's oh did you do that old thing that you did for like how to build the TV store how to build mom's family set yes I went back to instructables he used instructables to recreate the mama's family set for his mom because she was visiting and he knew she'd love it oh okay it went off without a hitch mom's family sure It sure did. Absolutely. But this one a little more challenging. It's a little bit more challenging, yeah.

Now, I've never been to a rainforest cafe. And you never will because they don't exist anymore. So you missed out. I don't believe so. I don't think people would be so nostalgic about them if there was one. Oh, it was fun. You know, it was like there was this big overreaching. The kids loved it.

There was this big overreaching tree in the front. And I believe they had some animatronic like animals. And the food was always fun. It was like, get the monkey fries. or that cheetah, cassidias, something like that, you know, better than that. The cheetahs. What made it fun? Just being able to see monkey fries?

Yes. They weren't shaped like monkeys. Monkeys didn't deliver them. I had a friend who worked at a downtown Chicago Reforest Cafe. And she said it was just full of just white women who go, we would love the fries, but we're being bad. We're being bad. We're going to get the for the whole table. Yeah.

And that she said was very annoying. But, and then there would be a rainstorm, right? There would be like a sort of fake rainstorm, but like much more exciting. then when like, you know, it rains on the vegetables at the grocery store. My twins love the rainstorm because, you know, they tried to, like, literally stand under and get wet. There's a fountain. They got in. They were not supposed to.

Of course, I'm talking about my twin boys, Matt, and... The Glimmer Man. And the Glimber Man. Now, do you know, one time I was... And this is embarrassing, but I was startled by the fake rain at the grocery store. I was actually As a grown man? I was getting,

yes, no, this is recent. Okay. I was getting produce at the time and then the thunder happened and it genuinely, genuinely startle me and then I was mortified that somebody saw me jump. No.

Yes. Oh boy. It is kind of funny that they still keep that going, you know? It's kind of, it's a weird little quirk that I just think stands on its own. It's very unique.

Who goes to you? Absolutely. Who goes out of the way to make that fun effect for grownups? Is it, is it that they're saying, hey, get out of the way. Because this is some water is going to spray on this. It could be a warning. It would case you reacted appropriately. Yeah.

Yeah. You talking about the mist on the vegetables? I'm talking about the mist on the vegetables. I don't think that's a show. Are you saying that that's for entertainment? Oh, I thought you just suggested that. I think you said show is a little much. You've had so much time to think about this.

I'm pretty sure Joan was just, uh, She was likening it. I was saying it was just a fun little quirk like for someone's amusement or entertainment. I didn't say show. Oh, yeah, but I don't think it's for your entertainment. Okay. I don't know what. The rainforest cafe park.

What side of the bed did you wake up on today, babe? I know that. Great question, Joe. Oh, thanks. What side of the bed did you wake up on? I'm always on the northeast. That answers it. Now, speaking of shows, let's get back to the show that Gabby was putting on, okay?

So she's now leveled you. You know, she's talking about your brain. And we were, we were stopped right there. She's talking about your brain. What did she say? She's right in front of me. Yes. She is, yes, Doug.

What? Is this for the, is this scoring my story? Yeah. Okay. Well, I thought her circling the table. Sure. It's a little, I guess it's a little sexy. It's a little too sexy for what's going on right now.

Is it? If I may. Is it? Oh, is it going to turn? Oh, no. Because she said. I find that brain fascinating. And I can't live my life without it.

I need that brain in my life. Then she got down on one knee. Whoa. And she said, burnt? Pietro Milipede. Will you do me the great honor of making me the happiest smoke jump run earth? No. And becoming my husband.

What? She proposed to you? She pulled out a ring. This is a... She had a little box with a ring in it. Rocks was made of pure lava. Of course it was. Hardened lava in reference to the lava landing you had to make on your plane as you were exiting Greece.

That's right. Volcano erupted. That's right. She slipped on my finger. Fit perfectly. Okay. And we're engaged. I mean, the fact that...

Now, do you agree with my music? Yes. Honestly, Doug, well played. Well, Doug, don't glow. Oh, Doug, don't glow. Oh, don't glow, Doug. It's just a coincidence. This is called night blues.

I'll say it is. Exquisite slow blues, setting the mood with grace. Oh, no. With grace. This is very graceful. It really is exquisite. This is the most graceful, exquisite blues I've ever heard. Now, this is wild.

First of all, what did you say? I said yes. Okay, I'm just going to make sure. Don't keep going to get it out with it. I think we're done with the music. I think we don't need that anymore. Well, we went back into the same. I was responding yes.

Yeah, you were cutting back. It's just under the wire. Smash cuts. Yes, so we're engaged now for the second time. Okay, well, congratulations, I guess. Oh, thank you. I just mean. Congratulations, I guess.

It's just a wild trip she took you on. It's strange that like she just sort of shut you out of her life. She, I guess, I guess, I thought she was going to break up with you, but I guess what it was was instead, She just wanted you to prove yourself one more time. Yes, exactly. And then if you did, she knew she was going to propose to you. That's right. That's right.

Okay. Well, you know what? Good, good job. Bird, good on you, making that journey. I can't believe. What did you say, man? I said good, good job. I'm acion.

Oh, he's giving you a good, good job. I did. Well, you said good job. Oh, I did. Didn't notice. Yeah. These guys, they never let me get away with it. They're always on top of it.

If I say something different. Doug, are you needling, Joe? I'm not needling. I don't needling. Doug, don't need a joke. Don't need a little if I want. Just because I said a couple extra words. Doug, you haven't done the Elizabeth recovered from now.

Yeah, by the way, that's what we're doing, of course. We now must do it every episode because it's so much fun. Oh, there we go. Oh, did you do it? Good job, babe. Do it again? Do a little more. Oh, that's good. Oh, Doug. Well, did you set a date yet? This is very exciting, Burton. I'm just a little shock. Just excuse my reaction. This has just been a real, what an adventure this has been.

It, Joan, you put it perfectly. It has been an adventure. Oh, good, good. And it's not over yet. I'm excited. Oh, good. I'm so glad. I'm so glad it's not over yet.

I mean, it's just beginning. It sounds like. Well, that's all I like to think of it. All right. So now you're both at home. The lights are on. Everyone's happy. Is that right?

I imagine that ended with your signature. Penetrative sex. Oh, God. Babe, why did you have to make him say it? Oh, Lord. Every time. Are we done? Can we be done?

Can we bring our guest on? How long we've been talking? All right. Well, what I'm seeing here is a- Always want to see here. Are you doing invasive surgery? What's happening? I have to look at the orangutan clock.

Oh, okay. So he's managed to get the clock up in the cafe. Somehow doing that takes the same amount of time as usually best. I get some of looking at the clock. Like, now let me see here. Well, I have to go through. Is it a telescope involved? Where's the clock?

I have to hack through a little bit of jungle. Oh, I see. So you have done more work. There's actually not just your music. You have like a jungle in there now? Well, there's a whale sounds. As we've heard of those. What's that?

Ferns. Furns. He's put a Furns. He's put a Fence in the Adventure Cafe. Just past the Furns. Hopefully you don't get by a mosquito and get dinky fever. Oh, Don't get dingy fever.

Don't get dingy fever. Okay. Oh, dingy. Oh, dangy. How long of you? 24, 25. Oh, that's good. That's great.

24, 25. Still couldn't get. We're not sure. But take her, take one or two minutes away. Take her, take her down. Take a minute or two. Take her down a minute or two. All right.

So that's it for that section. Yes, it is. We'll be back with the neighborhood listen after this. Hi, it's Melissa, and I have dried flower bunches for $2. Beautiful dried flower bunches for decoration. I laid them out on a Ziploc bag. As you can see, it looks as if I just walked past an empty lot and there were just dried weeds and that I'm trying to sell this as actual flowers of any kind.

am I even bothering to charge $2? I mean, hell. Just go outside and pick your own. I'm so lonely. Dan, welcome back to the neighborhood, listen. Dan, welcome back. Is that what I said? Mm-hmm.

Curious. I can't be the only one who gets to comment on people's words. Oh, Joe. I mean, you can't be the only one. Oh, I messed it up. Oh, Joe. Did it again, Joe. You're in six and seven.

Oh, don't do that. So now you just lost half the... Do you think that's... All the adults are now. so annoyed you said that. And if there were teenagers in the room, they screamed. Do you think they're getting that from that expression? Absolutely not. Do I think that they're getting, that Gen Z is getting that expression from a song written by Andrew Lloyd Webber? Or is it 6-7? What? It's 6-7. I mean, I mean, not Gen Z. Is it Gen Alpha? Okay, fine. It's both.

Okay. It's Gen. It's Gen Alpha and a little bit of Gen Z. But Andrew Lee Weber did not invent that expression. I understand, but you say, okay, but. Well, you know what? I only think of it as the musical theater expression because that's how much of a nerd I am. What song is it from? Oh, don't cry from me, Argentina. Oh, really?

That's sixes and sevens with you. Wow, okay. I didn't say it was good. Fair. But Rachel Zegler is going to do it in her underwear and everyone's going to love it. Why is you going to do it in her underwear? Because it's a Jamie Lloyd production.

Who is that? You haven't heard about that? Oh, give me a break. Jamie Lloyd. He's that guy who redirects everything with blood. Everybody in their underwear and everyone has blood at the end. Nicole Scherzinger, the Sunset Boulevard. He directed that.

Okay. And he directed Bill and Ted's excellent adventure doing Waiting for Godot. That's a thing. Bert, did you know that? He directed it. I didn't know that. No one's in their underwear. But it is a really stripped-down production.

They're wearing underwear, probably. Actually, do you know what maybe they are? Oh, it's a strip-down waiting for Godot? none of the bells and whistles They got rid of the full symphony orchestra The turntable Unplugged The helicopter

Yeah so now Jamie Lloyd is doing a Vita With Rachel Zegler And they did it out in London And she actually stands on a balcony When she sings in a bunch of people Actually film her in a real meta moment You know all the poor people Who can afford to see the West End show

Burnt just rolled his eyes So far back in his head That I thought he was going to tip over She goes out on a balcony Correct. In real life. In real life. Correct. Where actual just random people on the street are waiting for her because they know about it and they film her.

Right. And then it's also filmed and projected back in the audience on a big screen. Okay. And it's all just eating its tail. But she, and she's in her underwear for something. She's not in her underwear for that moment. But at the end, and a lot in the show. Yeah.

She's just like a lot in the show. Mostly in her underwear. And this time there's no blood, but Che is covered in some sort of blue goo. It looks like a cake or something. I don't. Someone has to be covered. in some sort of substance in their underwear for his boughs. It's ridiculous.

I mean, this is a fetish with this guy. I think so. And it's just on display, like Tarantino and the foot thing? Yeah, it's like everyone just accepts it. Yes. It shouldn't be allowed. Fetters are supposed to be private. We're supposed to be special.

We don't fetish or king shame on the show. We do not fetish or kinkshame, but we do say that if you really want to enjoy your fetish, make it private. So we look forward to. We say that. We say that. I don't have a take on it here. I haven't decided.

Oh, now you're on Mike. You're too scared to say what we say off Mike. It's not that. Well, we all agree to. Hey, wait a minute. Well, it's time to bring it a guest, Joan. Yes, it sure is. As we do every week, we comb the neighbor app, the social networking application for neighborhoods.

And we look for interesting people to talk to in our neighborhood of Dignity Falls. And if you see a post that you think we should cover, why don't you screenshot it and send it to us at burnt and Joan at gmail.com. This one came from a listener. This is from, sorry, let me get the information here. This is submitted by Ryan Brown. Thank you, Ryan. Ryan has submitted this. This is the recommendations segment of the neighbor app.

And it comes to us from someone named Sierra. Seara writes, I need help getting a possum out of my room. I'm stuck in my bathroom currently. And animal control said they couldn't help because of it being a non-rabby animal. R-A-B-B-I-E. Non-rabby animal.

Okay. Here to tell us more. Oh, that's it. That's it. Is, I'm sorry, is it, I just have to, Sierra, yes, Sierra, welcome to the neighborhood, listen. Is that your, what's your full name? My full name is Dennis, Sierra. Oh, wonderful.

Okay. Nice to meet you, Dennis. You just go by Sierra. I, when I post on social media, yes. Oh, I see, just the last name. Just the last name. Is there a reason for that? Great question, true.

I think it's a beautiful name, and I'm proud of it and my family's legacy. Oh, that is a beautiful answer. That's lovely, absolutely. What is the legacy, if I may, of your family? Another great question, June. Thank you. Uh, we've, uh, been in the country for, uh, some four generations now. Wow.

Uh, and, uh, the Sierra family is, uh, I think we're good people. I think we add to the community and, uh, we do, we do strong, strong things for the community. Strong, strong things. What are some of the strong things you've done? Great question, Bert. Thank you, Joe. You know, I think we're just the kind of people that are going to show up when you need to show up. I love that. And we show out when we get there. Okay.

Show out. I like that phrase. Show up and show out. I think we're just a good, we're a hearty folk. We're almost never sick. I'm proud of that. Jealous of that. That is something to be proud of.

We're great communicators. Wow. Can I ask, where, where's your family from? You know, like where, where do you're, where do you're, Where are your roots? Originally for Ireland. Ireland. Okay.

Sure, Sierra. And I hate to call such as here, but when you say show up for the community, can you think of an example of something that you or someone in your family has done this? We, so I live on, I live on Sharb Court. Oh, okay. Sharb court. Yes. And it was formerly known as Sharp. court. Okay. And that was a thing where sort of my ex-wife and I felt that that was too violent of

a name for a street. Right. And so we sort of lobbied for the community to change the name from Sharp Court and then we changed it to Sharp Court. Oh, I remember this. Because again, normally we have a lot of streets that are tree names and Sharp Tree, a Sharp Tree is not a thing except for Indignity Falls. There is such a thing as a Sharp Tree. And you are right, Dennis. It is It's a very, it's a violent tree. It's a very, it's, it's what it sounds like. It's sort of like a cactus. Yes, sort of like a cactus.

But it can shoot the needles out. Yes, and it's shaped like a Christmas tree. So children are very tempted. Of course. They look gorgeous. They look gorgeous. And if you get too close, it will shoot the needles out at you. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. And so I don't even know why they planted extra. And, and so, yeah. They've all been ripped out. Good. I actually think that's good. I normally wouldn't advise, you know, taking, taking out trees. but those are just, they're a menace.

They actually are a threat. Yes. So you've got to change to char, charb, charb. Charb. And how did you arrive at that? We didn't want whole new signs. We wanted to just change one letter. And so we figured it would be...

I see. You could just add the little extra rounded thing. Oh, yeah, you can make the K into a B. Okay. Sorry. We made, we figured change that P into a B. Yeah. I think just now became shark in my head.

I'm sorry. Sharp. Yes, very easy to make it be. Go on. I'm glad. Well, shark, we would have had a similar problem. Oh, absolutely. You would have also dangerous.

Yes, also dangerous. I would hate to see a shark tree. So would I. So let's get, oh wait, so the community. Okay, so that's one example where you sort of made the change for the whole community. Great. Now, let's get to this post. The possum was inside your home?

It is, it is currently inside. Oh, it still. When did you write this post? This was a few weeks ago. Oh, are you living at home with this possum? I am. And that was by design. Oh.

I courted the possum into my home. You courted it. Yeah. How does that work? Well, I. And why? Well, I... And when?

All right, let's stop there. Let's just stop with the first three. We already know who. We sure do. And we know where. How? Babe. And do.

my husband. You can't see him, but you can hear him. He's in another room recording. Doug. His name is Doug. Dennis. No, his name is Doug. His name is Doug. Yes. That's why I just said it out loud. Nope. No, not right now, babe. But we'll get to you in a minute. All right. Please go ahead, Dennis. I, I, uh, my wife and I are separated. And I wanted to get a pet. Oh, okay. But I don't have the time for a dog. Dog is too much attention. So much work. Yes. And so I was looking for something that was a unique pet that would maybe be a startup conversation with people

since I'm trying to put myself out there. Absolutely. Oh, okay, got it. And then I was also looking for an animal that could do sort of an indoor outdoor thing. Like, you know, some cats you can let out and they'll come back in. Right.

So there's, I've spotted this possum in the neighborhood and I started feeding it. Okay. And I, you know, just berries and nuts and seeds and stuff. And then I tried to coax it, you know, into the house, and then I was successful. Now, you're gesturing a sort of camere kind of thing.

So you would feed it some berries and then you would give it the old camere? I would sort of point to the berries and go like pretty good, right? And then I would go. How long the process was this, would you say? How long did it take to court him or her? Do you know if it's a her?

I believe it's a her. Okay. Yeah. I haven't gotten close enough to... Fair enough. No, for sure. Um, so I'm sorry, couldn't you just pull up the post again, burnt? Are you able to? Absolutely.

Okay, because I just want to revisit the tone of this post. Um, again, how long, we're not tone policing. Oh, no, or not. How long did it, again, how long did it take to get her in? Not long. Not long. Like a day or a couple, like a week. Oh, I would say it would, it took a, it took about four days. Okay. Four days and five. That seems reasonable. And we're certain with the same possum every time. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. Oh, yeah. She's got a bright pink tail. I call her pink because of the tail. and um okay do you spell it the way the singer spells it with an exclamation mark for the eye no i know that's cute no i mean i i could i guess i could i haven't written it out yet oh i just only verbally said it but i'm not saying it like pink okay so then can you can you take

us from can you can you help us with the journey from i'm the journey with i'm the journey When I'm purposefully courting this possum into my house too, I need help getting a possum out of my house. Animal control will not help. Can you fill in the gap for us there? I'm trying to get it out of my. Hold on a second. You know what this is? What?

This is like a record scratch. I bet you're wondering how I got here. That's what this posted. Oh, I love it when shows do that. That's what this posted. Oh, it's my favorite when they pause and give us all the information. Absolutely. Okay, so go ahead.

I, well, I want a relationship with Pink. I want her to be my pet. Okay. but I want her out of my room. There's a dominance thing happening now where she's taking my bedroom over. So right now you got more than you bargained for at this moment.

Right now this is become, okay. She came in and sort of made me know that she was in charge and she's the boss. How did she do that? A lot of bearing of teeth. A lot of bearing of her nails. She's pretty, she's got some dexterity and she's able to sort of grab, I guess not.

Can you be dexterous with your teeth? Oh, sure. Why not? It's interesting. I mean, I see what you're trying to say. She's very good at picking something up with her teeth and then throwing it at me in an accurate way. Are you still continuing to feed her at this point? Even though she does have little hands.

She uses her teeth to do it. Yep. And I think she's pretty proud of it. You know what's kind of sweet, though? I already feel like they have sort of made this bond where he's still sort of charmed by that. You know, the smile I put on your face to think about that. I'm impressed. Okay.

I'm very impressed and I think if I can get to a place where it's we're both on the same page about this relationship then I could take her for a walk on a leash and that'll sort of I we'd be the talk of the town so she's in your wow I mean those are that's relationship goals right there goals but she's in your bedroom is that correct she's in the bedroom where so you you come home and what is your routine look like where are you sleeping I'm sleeping in the bathroom no You're not on the couch? Like, do you have a living room? Like, why in the bathroom? She's, whenever I go into the other parts of the house, she's making a lot of hissing sounds and a lot of noises to let you know. She has confined you to the bathroom. Yes.

She's made it, she's kind of done the reverse of what I did with the snack, where she was kind of like gesturing for me to go. She's very smart. Okay, well, then here's my question. Did you try stopping feeding her? Because, you know, that's what got her real. What if you take away what she wanted and needs?

I don't, again, I, there's something about this possum where I just can't say no. And I would like to have a relationship with her. And I feel like it's gotten, it got so combative so quickly if I immediately then remove the food. Can I maybe get too personal too soon? Is that okay with everybody in the room? Please. Okay.

You said to your wife and you recently separated? Mm-hmm. Can you describe the nature of that relationship? What caused the separation? And what was the dynamic there? And the timeline vis-a-vis pink. And the what? The timeline

Oh, the timeline Sure, sure But what I really want to know Is what was the dynamic Between you and your wife That caused the separation Well, I wanted to see I'm looking for a pattern

I'm just looking for a pattern I know, but I know I'm just like me let me cook Let me cook The relationship fell apart Long before pink And in my Okay, he answered yours first, good

I I Now me I we were having and this is difficult for me because it's one of the points of family pride for me in terms of the Sierra legacy we were having communication issues okay oh and you said you were great communicators yeah oh no for a Sierra this has got to be yeah I couldn't talk to any of my brothers or uncles or anybody about it or anybody in my family yeah because it's just That's just something that we don't do. Sure. That's not what the C. So what, so was it, a silent home or, or you just would be?

I was, I was pushing it for it to be more silent. I was trying to do more text-based communicating just because that's what I'm comfortable with. Right. I see. I was like, couldn't this be an email or could we be chatting more? To your wife. Because that's what I do for, for work. Oh, what do you do for work?

Like, what, can you give me the tie? I do, um, in, I do, uh, you know, when you need, help with a product and you go to the website and you have an option to chat with someone customer service. Oh, yeah, yeah. Customer service. Oh, you're the guy. You're the little dots. I blanked on the very common. Oh, gosh. Name of the thing that I do for a living. Well, you probably haven't been getting good sleep for the last

couple of nights. So you've been sleeping on the floor in the bathroom. I thought maybe we didn't know what that was. You were trying to describe it to. I was filled the same way. Okay, great. Nope. I just took the long, longest possible way to tell you about what that was. Do you enjoy that? Do you do that from home or do you have to do that at like a center? I do it from home, yes, which is why, I see, you know, I feel like I'm not seeing, I'm not seeing a lot of people. I'm not meeting a lot of people and I'm trying to find a way to meet more people. And I thought sort of, you know,

a conversation pet like a possum would help me do that. A conversation pet meaning, oh, hey, you have a possum. That's interesting. That's a conversation starter. Yes. Got it. Conversation pet. But you, right, but you can only do that if you can get the possum out of the house and invisible and seen. Has anyone, responded to you regarding this post? On the app, I've gotten a couple I've gotten only very, very upsetting

sort of violent scenarios. Oh, no. Violent scenarios. Oh boy, we're going to make a couple people. We're going to make exactly three people happy right now. What, what, I mean, like what were people saying in response to this? I even hate to repeat it. Stabbed that thing.

Oh. Shoot that thing in the face. Oh, no. Put some poison in the bird seed and let it that and then make it think about what it's done just that just very I don't see how you do exactly I would do I would reverse it because otherwise what's the point but so we ignore that last one but I'm ignoring all of them that's that's not that's what I meant yeah well that's not helpful I should have made put it clearer in the post that I don't want to just remove the possum from the room I want to remove the possum from the room but not from my life let me but do you want to remove it from your house do you want it to be an outdoor pet It sounds like it should be because if I'm, correct me if I'm wrong, but possums are generally not, first of all, first of all, first of all, which I think we also need to address.

Sometimes they are pet. Doug is correct. Sometimes they are pets. If you see on Instagram, there's always some weirdo who has. Okay. Well, careful. We have a guess here. Well, no, he's under, he's a hostage to this possum.

That's not the same thing. Okay. I'm inspiring to be a weirdo. Understood. But I'm saying if you were to call like animal control, I feel like they would say to you, well, you shouldn't be having this as a pet. They would just, again, that's the same. similar sort of, well, they wouldn't, first of all,

they wouldn't engage with me at all because it's non-R-R-A-R-A-B-B-I-E-R-A-R-A-B-B-I-E, RABI. Yeah. Now, now, here's what I thought. Good one, babe. Thanks, baby. I assume, I assumed when I read this that you meant, it was a non-rabid. animal. And so animal control, if you have an animal who's rabid who has rabies, that's a, that's a, that's a danger.

Yeah. And they have to come help you. Yeah, I think that's a little bit too black and white for, I sort of see like a spectrum of rabidity, I guess. Oh, wait, was this your own diagnosis of the posse? Yeah. Oh, yes. Yes. And how did you come because they asked me if it was foaming at the mouth. I mean, they were very black and white. Animal control, was it rabid or non-rabbit? But I feel like, you know, there's, there's rabbi. And then at the other end of the spectrum would be a rabid, which is no signs of rabid behavior at all. And then rabby is in the middle. And there's semi-rabby and.

So there's no signs. They don't, they don't. What? How do you know? How do you know? I don't know this. How do you know this? Well, I had to study a lot for the Rainforest Cafe.

Oh, sure. Yeah. Were possums a big part of the Rainforest Cafe? Is that why they went out of business? They didn't have more possums? Well, they get run over a lot in the parking lot. Oh, God. But they're not jungle animals.

We're not going to have a parking lot for Rainforest Cafe, babe. Well, I want the full experience. Also, Rainforest cafes were sort of generally in malls. So, you know, there wasn't really like a dedicated parking lot. But I don't, I'm surprised that you ended up. Sometimes a restaurant will be on the outside of the mall. That is true. Oh, wow.

All right, Doug. Oh, boy. I'm not trying to pile on. The, uh, the, the, Sometimes I think I get a little bit needle. Run over. Who's needling you? So, okay, hang on a second.

So then I don't know. I don't know what to tell you about the fact that Doug just told us possums don't get rabies. But you've decided that there are, you're saying that there are some signs of it to you. Because you have it in the middle. I believe we're all somewhere on the spectrum of rabidity. Okay. Well, that's probably, that's probably, oh, sure. Oh, sure.

We're probably going to find that out years from now. We were all somewhere on the spectrum of. rabies that was the problem if i get angry at somebody on the road for cutting me off i feel like a little that's a little pop of rabid baby little pop of rabies yeah i mean a little spittle yeah just a little not a full phone but listen we all have animalistic uh you know sort of uh instincts that live with that within us so i suppose i get what you're saying yeah i mean animal control was really like it's this or it's that, and they didn't see certain signs, and so they didn't want to get involved.

They're very binary. They're very binary. Can I ask if you talk to your family about this yet? Has anyone weighed in? And how, just how big, give me idea, how many siblings? Like, how big is a family? Do they all live here?

I have two brothers. Okay. And they're both in Germany. Oh. So it's difficult to talk with them for the time difference. Okay. They're doing club promotion. They're club promoters in Germany.

Do they work together, or are they separate club promoters? They're competing. Oh, no. Yeah. It's tough. The Sierra Legacy. Oh, boy. Competing Sierra Brothers.

And they're both, they're great at getting the word out about their. Well, communication. The respective club. Absolutely. But it's confusing because they're both going by the last name in their business. So one of them is Sierra Productions and one of them is a Sierra joint is how he. labels his promotions. Do the Germans tend to lean towards one or the other in terms of like how they're doing business-wise?

They're both doing poorly. Oh, no. Yeah. That's terrible. I was going to hear that. I was actually thinking they were both doing great. I did have that. Well, be it the way he set up his family, you know, that they're kind of just sound like a bunch of winners.

Yeah, yeah. And I guess the clubs are not happy about this. The clubs that they hire, no. Okay. The clubs that have taken a gamble on them, I mean, they're more affordable than a lot of other club promoters, but then they're just not doing a good job. Well, you get what you pay for, unfortunately. I think one of the big things for them is they don't speak the language. So that would be a number one roadblock.

So all their promotion is in English. It's all in English, which there are. I mean, listen, to be fair, most countries speak English better than we do. Sure, but it might turn you off. Yes. Even if you understand English in your country to see promoting. exclusively in English. You might think, well, that's not for me.

That's for Americans or English people. What was that, Joe? No, I was just trying out my German accent. Let me hear it. Nope. You missed it. You can listen to it on the playback. I'll listen to back on the playback.

Yeah. So, okay, and then who's here? Do you have any family here? You said you mentioned some uncles. Yes. Yes, you did. I did. Yes.

Of course I have. Of course. Of course. Of course. Our family throughout the generations, it's been a lot of three, three siblings to a family. So I have two. Oh, okay. I have two.

My dad has two uncles and my mother has no siblings at all. Oh, really? So I just have those two uncles. But wait, your dad has two uncles, but does he always have two brothers and go two uncles? No, it's fine. He probably has two uncles too. It would stand to reason. It would.

Everybody's got two uncles. Everybody's got two uncles. He's got two brothers, yeah. Yeah. And do they live here? They do live here. Oh, great. And do the people that marry into the Sierra family, do they typically have no uncles, no siblings?

Yeah. Wow. If we can get, if we can manage it, you know, because it's hard. It's in matters of love, you know, sometimes you fall in love with somebody that doesn't fit those criteria. Boy, that's true. Has anyone, have you told anyone in the family about this possum debacle? I tried to talk to my uncle, Greg, about it. Okay.

And he's, his feeling is that I've made a poor choice in terms of the pet. Yeah. I wonder if that thing is. He's afraid of possums. A lot of people are. Yeah. Yeah. So now I feel like he's treating me a little bit differently.

Oh, no. Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah. You think it's mostly the fear is probably his reasoning for not wanting to engage with this topic. Yeah. and maybe he just feel I think it just creeps him out to talk about it Wow like what does he say

When you went to him and said Uncle Greg I have this problem Or did you email him? I mean was this Is this how you like to do with everybody in your family? I email yeah Okay all right And he's and he doesn't check his email very often Because he doesn't he doesn't use it

So do you feel are you an outlier in the in the Sierra family In terms of using I think it's a generational that makes sense he's much older sure so but the time difference is a problem in communicating with your brothers even though you're it would be email I don't know that they would be much help with this possum thing I mean it sounds like they've got their own problems well maybe they're better at figuring out animal control than they are possibly uh well well certainly I thought you're going to say possumly what a missed opportunity we should clarify for people in other parts of the world uh that when we say possum we're talking about opossums right oh yes because Because the possum is another animal that doesn't look anything like an opossum. You're kidding. Yeah, in Australia, they have possums.

I didn't know that. What do they look like? Well, we've got to pull one up. They're much cuter, I have to say. Are they? Yes, they are. Oh, all right. Well, babe, can you, can you work on that?

Sure. Thanks. Just sent us a picture of a possum. Give us the possum opossum difference. Did you know about that, Dennis? I didn't know about that. That sounds like a good thing you could use in a promotion. It's the opossum, oh, it's the possum, opossum difference.

Tell your brothers. Okay, so what is your plan? It doesn't sound like you're gonna get a lot of help from the outside world. Oh yeah, I thought those guys were called Quoles. Ah. Qualls? Yes, you've never heard of a quol? No, Quol.

Q-U-O-L-E? Q-U-O-L-L-L. Oh, they're adorable. Yes, yes, they're adorable. They're like a mix between a lemur and a koala. They're really, they're great. Oh, wow. See? Oh, the possums is.

Look at how terrifying that left one is. Well, that's not fair. It looks like the terrifier. Doug, send me that picture again because I will have to, I'll have to share it when this episode comes out. It makes me think if I could get a non-O possum that maybe they'd be more into the situation. Yeah, you should just get a possum. A classic possum, not an O possum. Did you look up coal yet, burnt?

I did. Cute, right? They're cute. They're strange. Are they? Well, I wouldn't call them strange. This guy looks a little strange. That is not a good picture of a quoll.

Is this good podcasting? No, here's a good picture of a quill. Now, this is very adorable. Yeah, very cute. That's very cute. Oh, very cute. We're just giving you other options. Can I ask you this question, Dennis?

Oh, no, you were going to say something. What were you going to say? Well, I just think that I don't want to give up on the idea because I do think it's the kind of thing that I could ride out until after. Do you? Yeah, because I think that pink is going to give birth. and I think that's part of what the behaviors are. Oh, my goodness. And I'm hoping that once that happens,

some of the sort of protective, like, behavior will sort of calm down. So I think she's... How do you know? Why do you think that? She's ripped up my mattress and sort of turned it into a nest. I see. I did that when I was pregnant with the twins. I remember that.

You ripped up your mattress? I did. I did. To turn it into a nest. I did. So you did literal nasty. The boys just made me crit. Like I told you,

Anna Blinxin's, I went feral. I just, I didn't even remember half of it. You were a real night bitch. Now listen, I take issue with that. That movie was fantastic.

And I don't want to hear anyone tell me otherwise. It was accurate. Well, I made no judgment on the film at all. You were digging holes. You dug holes in the yard. I did. I did.

Yeah, I absolutely did. Found a lot of stuff that Doug had buried. And I was very patient with that. You were. If you don't say so yourself. Well, it would be. I wanted to see it, but online I bought the wrong ticket and I ended up at bitch night instead.

Oh, no. Which came out. It was sort of Dante's Peak volcano thing that happened when they came out at the same time. Very different movies, different subjects. Who else was in that? It was L.L. Pool Jay and Charlie Day.

That's right. Jay and Day. Yeah. Oh, I remember those posters now. Yes, Jay and Day. It's Jay Day. Jay and Day, bitch night. That's right.

They did a whole promotion with Jay Date, and everyone was like, oh, you get it. Short movie. Short movie. Yes, it was. It was about 15, 16 minutes long. But they still squeezed in a cameo by Silent Jay. And there were 30 minutes of previews. I'm so sorry.

Oh, what? Silent Bob. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What, I'm saying, you could tell that they wanted Jay. They wanted Jay, but they couldn't get it, but they got Silent Bob. There was a Jay. There was a Jay from the insane clown posse who was a something J. Oh, I don't know that.

Was he Violent J? Violent J. Violent J. You can see how close on you. Violent J and Silent Bob. Violent J and Silent Bob. So, okay, let me get back to this. So you think that she's pregnant because she ripped up your mattress.

Also, this is a prize. that now your mattress is ripped up. I mean, I guess I feel like you're already in maybe what might be, I don't want to say abusive relationship, and also it's an animal. And I'm implying that you're in any kind of intimate relationship, but I think you're in sort of an abusive situation. She's dominating me. For sure.

I'm being dominated. And I don't know quite why you're allowing that to happen because she is a lot smaller than you. Have you thought about setting a trap in your house? Then you can carry her outside. Then you can take power back here. Did your other uncle give you any advice? No.

I'm not talking to him. No. The Sierra legacy is really in trouble right now. Why is? Communication is one of the tenfold. Sorry, Sierra, I said it wrong. Why are you not speaking with your... What's his name?

He's in a relationship with my ex-wife. Oh, my word. Good reason. Yeah. Good reason. Very good reason. Fair, fair. And what really bothers me is their whole courtship happened over email.

So she didn't want to email me, but she wants to email my email. uncle, and now I got to think about it every Thanksgiving, Christmas, all of the family holidays. I hope there wasn't like an overlap in your relationship and, uh, how would you, I mean, you know, unless you get to get to look at those emails, that's even they're dated. I'd have to get it to her emails and I won't do it. Got to release those emails. That's honorable. Well, maybe that's something, Diana, if you're listening to the show, release the emails. Just so I can know. And what's your uncle's name? his name is

Stephen and it's easy for me to recall it he's my uncle I know him I've known of my old life but I'm sure it's not easy for you to say it right but it's not easy it's not easy for you to say it no of course and I do apologize for asking

now forget advice his uncle was going to give him how about the advice I just gave you what about setting a trap I like that idea again like I feel an attachment to her I but as you trapped the traps they make now you don't have to hurt the animal

you know it's like You don't have to. No, there's a lot of traps that are very animal sensitive and they're not cruel. And it just, it just gets her in there. And then, and then immediately you have the power again, right? Just like that. I just am worried about the optics of me trapping a pregnant possum and putting them out. I mean, I don't know how there can be optics since nobody knows this is happening.

You're afraid this is going to be leaked to the media? I feel like this is one of the, somebody's going to have to see me doing it. Are you? Are you? No, I'm sorry, Byrd. How would someone see you doing it? What do you mean by that? I just don't think it's going to be a quick and easy geter.

I feel like there's going to be yowling and howling. It happens very quickly. Listen, we had a groundhog problem in our yard. And it's actually hard to tell who buried what, you know, either the groundhog or the dog. It's very, for the Doug hog. Or the Doug hog. She used to call me the Doug Hogg.

The Doughog, not the ground duck. That could have been an option. that name was safe for special occasions. Well, it's making me feel better that you guys of none of our business dealt with this. You removed a ground. They did. I remember the way they did it was. You know how the police sometimes will

say, you know, you want a free boat or whatever. That's how they get people to come in without standing warrants or a concert. And they set up a thing like that with the ground hot where they had signs all over the yard saying you've won a fresh patch of

dirt to dig a hole in. And then they just, they closed in. But, but in terms of, but yes, that is true. And at the same time, at the same time, that's the way Doug wanted to do it. But I had also researched a lot of traps. And it really is just, you know, you put a little food in there. There's plenty of room. There's nothing that gets caught when the trap closes.

They're just in there, not yowling or howling, maybe a little bit of hissing on her part because she might realize she's stuck, but not because she's in pain, okay? There are ways to do this that are painless. And in your own home, I can't imagine anyone would, see it. They usually, you know, go ahead. Oh, sorry.

No, go ahead. What's that duck? Can I go ahead? Go ahead. They usually just play dead if you scare them enough. It is. It's true. You could just pull a gun on her and then she might just pull a gun.

You don't have to pull a gun on her. Does a possum know what a gun is? No, I'm sorry. You say I have a gun. Holly. Just stick a finger in your pocket. You could literally just like make a, yeah, you make sort of like some sort of like lunging sort of like, you know, motion out.

That's enough to make them play. dead. I feel like she's been in there for long enough and she's observed me enough that she knows, even if I had a physical gun, I'm not pulling the trigger. You really think she's in your head. This opossum is in your head. Here's the thing as well. It's like, in order to trap a possum, I would imagine the bait would be some kind of food, but you're already feeding this possum. I have to stop that. You definitely should. Immediately. Of course, now if she's pregnant, that does seem cruel.

But she's gotten control of the kitchen too, and I feel like she's going to be able to get it. What does that look like? A deposit I'm in control of the kitchen. She's got a, she's turned her kitchen into her bathroom. Oh, no. I'm in the bathroom. And I don't think she has good bathroom manners. She does have good bathroom manners.

I'm not familiar with this concept. Bathroom manners. She's, she's not, yeah, she's, she's, uh, leaving it a mess in there, you know? Really? What, what, like this makes it sound like she's actually preparing things in there or she actually brought stuff in that's what I yeah just breaking glasses and stuff right right we're really leaving the fridge door open that sort of thing yeah this is um you are you are you are you are absolutely trapped I'm trapped you are house bound your bathroom bound I can

can are you able to now that you're out um and and and also you look room you actually look remarkable I wouldn't have guessed that he's been spending the night on the bathroom floor I really wouldn't. Is that what you're doing? Do you have a tub? Are you crawling in there? Good point. I don't want to sleep in my tub. We have a claw foot tub and it seems. Oh dear. It reminds you of the possum. Yeah, I'm in the belly of an animal. I'm having a lot of dreams of that. I never thought of it that way either. But in a way you are. Yes. It has digested you. Okay. But I feel like I look good because I'm in there with and I don't and I'm spending so much time in there that I'm spending a lot of extra time on grooming. Oh, you have all your products. Oh, sure. You're misleading. And do you have to leave through the bathroom window or you can't just walk out the door?

No, I've got a slider window. Wow. And I had a- Thank goodness for that. Yeah. It's up high, which I now regret. Which at the time, I loved it as a feature because it's up high and people can't look in and see what I'm doing. Sure, sure.

Exactly. So how do you get up there? Well, I make it a slider. What does that mean, babe? Well, if it's so high. done that's a great point what sort of window do you think should be we should have just be a block

one that doesn't open one that doesn't even open right yeah yeah well you want to have a little option for ventilation sometimes that's fair babe a little ventilation oh frosted glass well this is the house game with it and I frosted glass creeps me out I don't like I feel trapped and claustrophobic I do not like it if she sees any frosted glass Oh, come not near me.

And it's creating silhouettes if there's something on the other side. Yes. Like that show, the haunting of Hill House, no, right? Oh, sure. Yeah. Right? Right? No, right? Where there's a, there's a moment where they're in like a therapy room or something.

Yes. And there's a shadow behind it. Absolutely not. And I already hated frosted glass before then. But now forget it. It doesn't even like when I have a frosty mug. I do not. What's in that glass?

Rupier. I have a precarious. The NW's whole campaign A Frosted Mug Taste. Oh, I thought it was What's in that glass? That's also a good one. That would be a good one.

Yeah. Why don't you sell that to your brothers? What's in that club? Oh, that's good. I don't know how you would say it in German. Well, they could figure that. That's only a couple of words. Yeah, right?

And I'm also on them always of like, guys, come on, you're immersed and let's learn the language now. How long have they been? I feel like you weren't far up. They've been there for 12 years. That's too long. That's too long. That's not an excuse.

Dubolingo or something. Hassanfeffer. Good job, babe. Okay. So, okay, so you're sneaking out the window. You're coming back in through the window. How are you eating?

You're just eating out? I'm eating all my meals out. This is also, this is cost prohibitive for you. This is not good. It's just, I think it's been helpful to hear, to come here and talk to you guys.

about it because now that I'm saying out loud, I'm realizing it's a real mess. Yeah, you're hearing it. You're hearing it. You're normalized it for myself. You would absolutely have. And I get that. I get that. I get that. Don't beat yourself up about it. But now's the time to make a change. You need to have a plan before you go back to that house. I mean now, today's the day. Yeah. I think either today or I'm going to ride out, wait for the babies to come. No, I'm not sure. No. Do you see how those are two totally different things? One is you're imprisoned for life. Okay. And another one is you change your life today. You think, you think you can't write it out first of all you don't know for sure that she's pregnant i mean with all due respect you're not a veterinarian right you can't assess that and you can't get animal

control services is that fair to concede it doesn't look like he wants to give that to me it does really he thinks he knows i fancy myself a bit of an amateur veterinary i never love what someone says you never love it i fancy myself and then says something like that afterwards you never love when people do that i guess i don't i'm going to stick with it now now if i'm said it on this podcast, then strike me down. I am wrong. Oh, wow. So, I really, I can't, again, I never mean to like sort of like,

really push our guests too much, but I feel like you, people come here for a reason, and it's because probably they haven't gotten help or they need to amplify their message that's on this platform. And so I'm trying to give you that. And I really want you to hear me right now on this, is that we really try to help people here. And I really think you need to have a plan before you. And I appreciate you being tough.

I appreciate because I need that sometimes. But here's the thing, Sierra, and I have to say this, you seem very resistant to any kind of advice that people are giving here. Do you, are you actually just happy with the situation the way that it is? Oh, I bet. Joe. Okay. Let me cook.

I will say, I like having a strong. a strong presence in my life. I feel like I am I needed a change and sleeping in the bathroom and to get up out of that high window I feel like is good exercise that I haven't been having.

It's making me appreciate little things about my bathroom that I didn't. I feel like I was taking for granted before the tiling in there is gorgeous. And a lot of of the rest of the house is connected to a lot of memories of Diana, so it's kind of nice to, I don't have a lot of

shared memories of me and Diana in the bathroom together. Because it was it's not, we didn't have two sinks and it was my turn and your turn. Yes. And very much, that was how we would say it, one at a time. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Can I also pause it, and this is

a bit of a leap, and I hope you won't take any offense to this. It seems like you are the pet. Burnt, that's such a good point. Right. I'm the pet. You're restricted to certain areas.

And pink is in charge. You're not allowed on the bed. Yes. She is very clear about when I go out and when I come in. I mean, the only difference is that you still feed her, which is why I think you really do have to stop feeding her because you have to remind her how this is supposed to go. She should be feeding you.

feeding me yes no no no no that's just now we're gonna have the possum feed him this is just this is going to reinforce him being the pet if he's the pet but do you sort of like it i love it okay he loves it all right so we're going to just knowingly send a human being back into this very sort of rather dangerous situation how do you feel about it's only going to get worse and then he's going to be raising these possum kids how's that going to work joan joan we've had so many people on this podcast, and how many have we helped? How many people have listened to us? Three? Oh, I'd say more than that.

Would you? We've done okay. I think three people have taken our advice and actually improve their lives. I don't say like five. Most of the people walk out saying, actually, I'm fine the way I am. This is true. Okay, well look, Sierra, I'm sorry. If you don't want this advice, then you know what?

Forget what I'm saying. Burn to saying, live your life. How do you feel about eating trash? Great question, Doug. It's a very rare What level of trash? Because that's probably what you're going to be eating Yeah

If you go this route But that's basically human food still Yeah I mean some people are so wasteful There's tons of stuff being thrown away That's perfectly fine Yeah I'm not

Although you wouldn't be the one throwing it away Because you're confined to the bathroom So yeah You're just going to be getting trash That comes to you via In your opinion On the rabies spectrum, mouth Oh, but to be clear, I think she's non-Rabby.

I think she's very low, very close to a rabbit. I think she's almost there. Okay. So I feel she's as much as an opossum can be, I think she has all of her mental faculty. It's so late in the conversation to get hung up on the non-Rabby aspect. But it's just now. All the pronunciations are confusing me.

Is it, it was that a, it is a little bit because it, but it's non-rabby, but it's got potential for some rabid. Right, but if... For some rabid. I've never in my life met an animal or a human that's a rabbit. Okay. No kidding. All right.

I got that. So a rabbit is no rabies. No rabies. And we'll never have it. But he's saying he's never been a human that was completely a rabid. Understood. Oh, A rabid. Yeah, be careful.

You have to be careful. Sorry. So it's the non in rapy. If rabbi, the idea of rabbi is, that's on the, not rabid, but rabbi. Uh-huh. Where does the non? Where does that get in?

Yeah, that really makes it seem like none. Yes. Because it almost sounds like none. Yes. It almost, it's so close. Yeah. Kissing cousins. Do you guys know how to edit a post?

Speaking of Rabby. Wait, what? Do you guys know how to edit a post? I do not. Do you? I've tried. I've tried. I'm not always the best at it.

I think once it's up there, it's up there. And that's all you can do. You might just have to delete it and put up a new post. Do you know why you can't, I think the reason is because when people try to sell things on there, you can't say free and then change it to $1,000. I said it right there. Yes. Then I'm in support of it.

Don't change it for me. Well, okay. And you know what? I think that's how you want your life in general. Don't change it for me. I don't think you want anything to change. Is there, do you guys, should I, should I bring her something to let? let her know that I am subservient and that I want to embrace the pet role if I go with your

idea, Bernd? Well, if I, if I, if I, maybe subbold, I think she already has gotten the message. I was going to say it's already there. I don't think you need. I think it's the, yeah, she's taken over. Absolutely. You have no rights in your own home. You sleep on the bathroom floor.

I think it's clear. I think all you. Well, I'm not making eye contact with her. That's even darker. That's another, that's another. Why are you not doing it? Out of respect. Oh, boy, I see, eyes down.

Uh-huh. All right. Oh, boy. You're not like. So maybe I could start making eye contact with her, but then take it back away. Again, this is all, this is all him being the pet. Pretty soon he's going to just put a dead mouse at her face. I think the only thing that you need to do, I guess, is, is let her know that you understand the situation.

She understands the situation. She sure does. But she might think, she might be thinking, this guy doesn't get it. He's the pet. You think? So if you, yeah, maybe. Okay. but you might you might indicate to her like yeah i get it and then maybe she'll treat you nicer

yeah you'll be allowed in more areas when she's passing by the bathroom i could i could vocalize and say you leave the door open yeah but anytime you go near her she hises yeah yeah that's i think you should open your mouth like a like a possum does like as wide as you can kind of like put food in here maybe if you filed your teeth down the little triangle that's what does sometimes when he's hungry. He just, he either says put food in here and then he opens his mouth. I point to my mouth sometimes to my gaping mouth. That's right.

My gaping mouth. Well, Sarah, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm worried about you, but I doesn't say, like you, we're worried about you. So I guess I will take some comfort in that. I mean, it's not, you haven't been bitten, right? Yeah. It, it seems like it's just an arrangement. Okay.

You know? Try to stay. non-rabby for as long as you can. Non-rabby. Non-rabby. Or rabby. Yeah. I don't want to be rabby.

I don't want to be more than rabby. I don't want to be semi-rabby. I'd like to stay non-rabby. I know I'll never be a rabid. Of course. None of us will be.

But anywhere else on the spectrum of, you know, that's, I'm willing to take it and I'll learn how to live with it. And I've got, I've got a possum right there that I'm sure she knows people if I could communicate I wish I could just speak English with her

I know how my brother's feel in Germany Have you tried emailing her Not a bad idea That is good I gotta figure out what her email is Set up an email account for her There you go And just let her paw at it

You never know She might give you Shakespeare I'm gonna write as soon as I leave here I'm gonna go to the Apple store I'm buying her a laptop and I'm setting. Oh, I don't, I mean, you could, really? Wow, she gets your own laptop. Newest, nicest.

Pink, if you're listening as of, you know, when this is released, but you know, we'd like to hear from you. All right, well, Sierra, I hope we provided you something that you needed. Yes. You provided me with a sounding board and you provided me with a community. I feel less alone. Great. And on behalf of all of Digny Falls,

I just want to say to you and the Sierra family, thank you for always showing up and showing out. Absolutely. Amen to that legacy. We'll be right back when they were listening. When the neighborhood returns. This is Elizabeth for sale. Well,

free blue bucket with handle. It's a blue bucket with a handle featuring a design. The design seems to be a globe of some kind. I think it's a globe of planet Earth. And then there's these symbols. All right, I'll be honest. I can't read. So that might be a word.

And it might have something to do with the globe, the globe in space. The one symbol looks like a sort of the point of a spear. plunging down. And then there's another one that just looks like a line. And then there's another one that has a line. And then there's three little lines jutting out of the side. So if you know what this is, I hope it's not satanic or something. I consider myself a woman of the world, but I don't know how to read, but I do know that Satan is real. So take your chances, I guess. so Satan's usually a red thing?

I don't know, guys. This is Elizabeth. Well, that was weird. Yeah, yeah, it was. You know, he's a really nice man. As far as we know, I guess. Every time I try to do this, Joan.

As soon as these people leave, You try to act like they're normal. I'm not saying anything about his situation as normal, but two things can be true. He can be living an abnormal life and also be kind of a nice guy. Boy, that's true. You know, he wasn't combative. He wasn't rude.

Yeah. He was, you know. He's a Sierra. He's a Sierra. He's a Sierra. He's a Sierra. He's a bad guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. I feel guilty that I was not familiar with the family who was such a big part of this community. Yeah, I mean, I do sort of wonder Once you heard him talk more about them Is that just sort of in his mind? I'm not sure about the legacy of it all It's probably the only thing he came up with

Was changing the name of this street That was sharp to charb Yeah, that was it That was the contribution Yeah, that was their showing up and showing out I am glad they got rid of the sharp trees though, good Lord Oh, they weren't real menace And people would try to get them in their house for Christmas

Yes Because they do sort of sleep for a little bit where you can chop them down. But then they wake back up. You put them in the water. They actively sleep. They sort of go to sleep. Yeah.

You can approach them. You can see it sort of taking a breath and then down. Yeah. And a breath and then down. They move like that. And then you know they're asleep. I have to clear something up because, again, I've been, remember one of the things on my vision board for this season? Yes.

Was, uh, season Klein was, uh, feeling fine. Prethe's, prethes, prethes, Kevin. Um, I always want to be impeccable with my movie trivia because I have not been. Absolutely. And I mentioned Sound of Music and the song My Favorite Things last week. I just want to say I'm still mostly right that it doesn't come at the time that we think it does like in the actual cinematic movie. Right.

In the musical, well, there's now so many versions I could be referring to. I could be referring to the live television version with Carrie Underwood. Well, no one would ever think that. I know, two people. Do you think that's ever... Is there anyone that that's the first thing they think of when you think of the sound of music? Less people think of that

than the amount of people that want violent scenarios on this show. So, I mean, that's just true. But it's not the mother at best's idea to sing the song. She brings Marianne because she's in trouble for singing out loud. Because, you know, that's such a sin to God.

One of the problems that needs to be solved. That plus the Fliberti jibbet of it all. A clown. A clown. Reminds me of Nico Meadow and around. Oh, yes. You build you up to bring you down.

What a clown. Anyways, again, like I said, for the two people who will care. But this is a promise I made to our listeners, you know. So I just need to make it right. And, and say that it's just, it's not the Mother at Bess's song that she likes to sing to cheer herself up. Maria mentions it that this is a song that she enjoys singing and this is the song she was caught singing. and Mother Abbott is so taken with it, she kind decides to sing along herself.

Really? Also sinning before God and they do it together. Is singing itself just a bad thing? You know, it's ridiculous because when I looked it up, listen, you're more of a Catholic expert than I am, but she was singing, she was, she had, she sang in the garden without permission. You need, you need permission to sing.

No, who permitted you to sing? Otherwise, you were committing a crime before. the Lord. He didn't give you permission to sing. You should be ashamed. Imagine if people found out. But you know, it's funny that you mention Christmas trees because there's this post about it.

And this is from Alan. And Alan says, need help installing top of 15 foot Christmas tree. Dot, dot, dot. Need someone who has 17 to 20 foot ladder or scaffold. to help us with top 10% of this interior tree. Please reply or RICO, RICO. Does that how you say it? RICO.

I've never heard like a short for a recommendation. I need a RICO. Can I get a RICO? They only must say that in a stressful. He didn't want to go to RICO. I need a RICO for demo. I need it. I need something about this tree.

They had five syllables. And then, yeah, it just says, Thanks. And, I mean, he literally posts a picture of the stupid truth of that is. And I mean, here's the thing. If you have this treat, you know you're going to have this problem. Like, figure it out on your own. This is, this is an internal problem.

I'm sorry. You had to have seen this coming. You had to have seen it coming. Thank you. You had to. When you're considering purchasing this tree. You know how tall it is. You're like, okay.

This is not a surprise. Yeah. Now it's not the time. These are the kind of post. drive me crazy. And then someone else come help. No. No, you did this to yourself.

Here's what my recco is. Here's what my record is. What's your wrecko? A ladder? Well, but he's asking for someone else to bring it. He asks for scaffolding too. Caffolding. He's going to put scaffolding up.

It's not a Rockefeller center. New York City. Scaffleding. It's just ridiculous. Alan, give me a break. Alan, go to hell. You. fool.

Oh, that's not in the Christmas spirit burns. Well, it's not Christmas. I've got time. At the moment, it's not. I've got time. Oh, okay. Babe, how's it going in the Rainforest Cafe? It's going to ride.

It was raining and then it just ran out. Wait, can we hear it? It's like a little sprinkle, babe. I think you're going to want to do more. Oh, wow. Now, that sounds like trucks driving in the rain. Torrential. Yeah, it's more like a.

hose directly at the window yeah yeah that was exciting when you were kids somebody sprayed the hose at the window it was that sound it would make and the way it looked it was really cool yes it did it was it was rather uh it was it was it was rather titillating it's why i go to the car wash like the ones he drive through it's just all that when he's in a bad mood I know exactly what to do I take him in and he's like I'm not going to smile I'm not going to like it I'm not going to like it and then sure enough that shampoo that goes on that's rainbow color he's in the backseat on his blind He's in the backseat on his blanket. He loves it.

Love it. You play Night Ranger through the car wash. He's sick of the car wash. Yeah. Really? That's your car wash choice? Oh, God, it's so good. Okay.

Do you know that Digny Falls has been doing that haunted car wash for the last few years? And I can't think of a worst thing. And the line on the street is like a mile long. And I'm just trying to get home. Yeah. And everyone's just wait. They'll wait for hours for that damn thing. We talked about with the Yetty.

Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, they're still doing it. It tries me crazy. It's really, it's terrible, just because it takes so long because they have to keep resetting. Yes. You know.

They have to dry everything. They have to dry everything. They have to dry everything. They ring out. It's a 30 minutes set up in between. All those weird mops. Yeah, it's a real, it's, it's also, that should just be Halloween time.

It shouldn't be all year round. Oh, absolutely. Yes, you're right. If only worth the one, car wash in town. The only car washed in town. They make so much money, though. They really do. They make so much money. And honestly, it doesn't, it doesn't wash your car.

I mean, it's literally exit stained in blood. Yeah. I guess your car will be a wash in blood. But that's not the same as having your car washed. It is not. Well, said, burnt. Should we? Okay. I was opening it because

it's a little bit, uh, it's very humid in here. is what Doug is doing with the Wringfuss Cafe. He's always trying to match the climate. Yes, and it is kind of creeping into here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Babe, you okay? What happened? Nothing happened.

Well, usually you say one last thing. Well, we mentioned your name. We usually you chime in. We said your name. Oh, but you didn't actually ask me any. Usually that doesn't stop you. Yeah. I don't recall ever asking you anything.

Listen, I'm just glad you guys are getting along. Because if you remember, you were testy a little while ago. You guys had to go to the bar and sort it out. We went to DTF. We played some golden tea and now we're good. Good. Thank goodness. I am having a little bit of an issue with all the insects.

I wanted to make it more authentic. Sure, sure. Because I felt like people were offended slightly at the rainforest cafe, if I remember. Back in the day, were they? Oh, dear. Why were they offended? So we were stealing the rainforest culture and not portraying. it accurate totally accurately the truth about a rainforest is you are covered in insects sure

that is true that makes sense yeah i mean you have centipedes on crawling on your but you're not going to do that to the people who come in are you i didn't even think of centipedes i just thought them like mosquitoes no no those big huge millipedes and centipedes oh they're terrible i don't like that um makes me think of that willie wonka boat ride also also terrifying why was that in there i don't know a worm crawling across that guy's face What was that for? I hated that. It was really,

honestly, it was very terrifying. Great song, though. A worm. A worm. Why would there be a worm? Why would there be a worm? Yeah, you know, they had,

okay, so they did really have a lot of, okay, if you look at their menu, maybe it was a little problematic. I mean, they had something called the China Island chicken salad. They had a tropical island chicken salad and a big islander chicken salad. Big Islanders, three different kinds of chicken salad?

And island. Do they serve anything else other than chicken salad? There was something called the awesome appetizer adventure, which I know you're going to do because that was your favorite thing. There were chimmy cha-choshas, spinach, and art of chippy chas. That's a chook dip. Tricolor tortilla chips. What's more fun than that?

What is more fun than blue, red, and white? Come on. What is a chimmy chacha? I have no, it's short and short for Chimmy Changas. I don't know. Chimichongas. Yeah, Chimiches is upsetting. Cheese sticks, chicken tenders,

stir with fresh guacamole and coconut curry sauce and add a side of St. Louis-style pork ribs. A side of them. A side of them. Oh, for only $6.99. Wow. This, oh, and then, yeah, it was called an Amazon Feast. That's not great. It's not feast.

Mojo Bones. Jungle steak. Oh, dear. Okay. I'm mostly taking a problem. some of the sizzler food. Oh, no, they had something. Well, I imagined, yeah.

Yeah. You're going to repurpose that. Anaconda pasta. I don't want none, hon. These are. All right. So we know we're not going to do the menu, babe. We're not going to recreate the menu in that way.

We can't use the same names. But you can put whatever you want to on the menu. Just give them appropriate names. Python Penny. What is the Python? Like Penae, Poster? Is that what she meant? Python Pallbert, good catch, I bet you.

It's not Penny. Penny. Penny don't even exist anymore. We're not supposed to talk about them. RIP. You're not supposed to talk about them. I mean. We don't talk about Penny.

Yeah, Pena. It's usually called PIN. It's an uncoigne. We don't talk about them anymore. You mustn't mention them. All right. You can do Python Penae. All right.

I guess. Why not? Why not? Who cares? It's your own. Who's going to come in here? Nobody. I hope.

There is a giant serpent that is, I don't know, I feel like I feel you buried the lead. Yeah. I mean, you mean like you're building like a fake big serpent. But that's kind of fun.

I like that. Out of what? Like a serpent god. Oh, a serpent god. Oh, now it sounded like Indiana Jones. Okay. Is it a little bit Indiana Jones? Everything is a little bit.

Everything. One of the Doug philosophies. Everything's a little bit Indiana Jones. If you think about it. And then think about it, everybody. Just think about it for the next week. Why don't you? Let's take a moment for a way to think about it.

That was Doug rubbing his beard. I guess that's how we face it. That was a little ASMR for you on behalf of Doug. Thanks. I hope you enjoy that, everybody. Thanks, Doug. Thanks, babe. Oh, yeah, you're welcome.

You're welcome. Well, he's really not responding to us. For that scalp tingling moment. Yeah, no, what's he? No. I think you made it too humid down there, babe. You made it way too humid. You're bowing to the serpent god.

I think the listeners can be on my side on this one. I don't think I was called on to speak. Right, but what I'm saying is you're so often are not, babe. And I think what I do. I thought you said lizard skin. Oh, no. I think the lizard skin can be on my side. I think it's time.

When we all start mishearing each other, it's time to leave. Yeah, that's true. That's true. I also thought lizard skins was maybe something you were going to serve at the rainforest seven. It could be good. Our world famous lizard skins. Uh-huh.

Like pork cracklings. Yeah. I don't like that. All right. I like that a crackling is a thing. I kind of like it. Crackling should be, you know,

the adjective. But that's, it is, babe. He's saying you don't like it being used as a noun. It shouldn't be used as a noun. Well, that's a beloved.

You eat a crackling. You eat a. A crackling lizard skin. Some people love to eat a crackling. Some people love it. That's right. You can't go after what people like to eat. I love the food.

I love the flavor. Okay. I mean, nothing like a flavor of the crackling. Don't want to talk about it. Nothing like it. I don't want to talk about it either. So I think we should just go.

I don't want to talk about anything. Thank you for listening. If you would like to get ad-free episodes or our bonus content, go to CBBWorld.com and sign up. on the Maximus here, and you can get that content. And we'll be back next week with another episode. Until then, goodbye. And bye.
