of Dignity Falls through the eyes of its residents. That includes me, my name, well, it's burnt me a payday. I am the pharmacist in chief. Whoa, it started so good. It had a real Ryan Seacrest vibe. Well, because this is, you know, is very much American Idol, you know? And I was I was feeling good about it. I was really feeling good.

What do you think happened? Let's let's let's let's look back at the tape. Do you know what my trouble? What I think my trouble is, OK, is that sometimes I want to say all the words at the same time. I so understand that. Listen, you know me. The wrong word comes out of my mouth all the time on this podcast.

So I understand. I don't think that's true. Oh my gosh. I don't think that's true. I don't think your memory is very good then. Because you certainly notice them in the moment. Oh, I don't think that's true. Oh Joan, I wouldn't do that.

I don't think I would ever do that. So you want to say other words at the same time, but also sometimes we know that you float above your body. You look back down, you see yourself talking, it actually throw you. Oh, that's when I start saying too many words. Okay, but just not wanting to say them all at the same time. Here's what, and I'm realizing it as we're talking about.

I think because farm is cyst and I wanted to go to farm in chief. You know what, which honestly, farm in chief, I think is great. I think we should just coin the new term. But I think people are gonna see it in their minds as F-A-R-M and I don't like that. I don't think so.

You know what, I'm gonna tell you, I know you don't. You've always been anti-farm. I love farms. Oh, you're anti-farm. I love farms. Oh, you're anti-farmer. I don't like farmers. They act like, I mean, they act, farmers act like nobody could do what I do. You think they're smug.

They're smug. Farmers are so smug. And they're condescending. They like to tell you what time they get up in the morning. Well, they make us all change the clocks for it. You know, I get it. Exactly. They really, really.

I don't like right now it's, it's late for too long. I don't like it. Yes. I like when it gets dark early. Well, and it does. We do also have, we're in, we're straight up in Sproon right now. You remember from last season,

this is the season between spring and summer. It's a, and pretty soon that, that, that video is going to circulate of Leslie O'Gum singing it's sprone. That's right. That's right. And the buts, the buttee-buts and the hyssop on the hill up on the hill. That's right. So we're deep in sprune, which of course causes terrible allergies due to cannibal type plants

that will kill you and eat you actually. There are plants that smell so nice. So enticing. Oh my God, they smell so beautiful, but they will, they are, they are meat eating plants. They are carnivorous. They're carnivores. Who are carnivorous.

That's right. And it's certainly not a carnivore. And the thing we didn't mention, nope, the thing we didn't mention. Thanks for backing me up. The thing we didn't mention last year is that in Sproon, the sun only is out for two hours. It's this weird thing, Justin Dignity Falls.

So it's not only our people and that also makes it scary cause you don't want to go out for a walk. Cause then the plants are waiting, you know, you don't want to accidentally. They're waiting. Oh, they're licking their chops. Those plants. They're like, now it's our time to shine. Do you remember Justin dignity falls? Who was the, uh, he was the guy he tried to make it

off the mascot of sprun. Justin dignity falls. He had his name legally changed to that. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And he did with no hyphen, no hyphen, just an umlaut

over the, you and Justin. Yes. Durst and Dignity Falls. Durst and Dignity Falls. Yes, I remember Durst. And he would wear that tissue costume. Oh God, yes. And then he got lost in the tissue mountain.

Right, so remember everybody, everybody, everybody in town, everyone's noses, I mean, it's just if you're a new listener, if you're a new listener, what happens in Spoon is not only are you trying not to get eaten by the plants, but your sinuses are running wild. They are just running wild and they're so, we didn't know what to do with all the tissue. So everyone was like, let's make a monument to it. So in the middle of a old dig, they start making a mountain. And at the end they shellac it and then the kids climb it. And it's fun. But before they shellac it.

And then I think it's sent off to another country. I believe it is. For kids around the world to play on. Yes. But if you try to hide in it or play in it before it's like, you absolutely can't get lost. And we've lost several children to the tissue mountain. It's so, oh, you know, you, and nobody wants to go in there because it's disgusting.

Except for kids. They are, they can't stay away from it. Kids don't understand what disgusting is for a long time. Absolutely. My kid, my, my boys still don't and they're, and they're in their twenties. I'm talking of course about my, my twin boys, Matt and Silencio and Silencio, Matt and Silencio still, you know, to this day, they don't, I don't know that they'll ever figure it out. But I'm sorry.

Do you think it's that they haven't figured it out or do you think that it's something that's wrong with them? Oh, well we know something's wrong with them. I mean, that's, and I, and I say that, I say that meaning that yes, they are pyromaniacs, possibly ours in this, but I don't really want to spend much time talking about that because they're really, really working very hard. But I want to get back to what you were saying.

You were talking about Durston and that he had a tissue costume. Yes. And it was similar. It was similar to the actual tissue mountain. Yes. And so he would just sort of- Except it had googly eyes. It did have googly eyes. Yes. And so he would just sort of... Except it had googly eyes. It did have googly eyes, yes. And so then what's the story? He got trapped in the Tissue Mountain. He was trying to take a picture

in front of it. Yes, he was trying to do one of those videos of dogs jumping into a pile of leaves. Right. Yes, yes. And he got a big running start. First he has to gather... and he got a big running start. First he has to gather, his little catchphrase was gather ye round. Yes, I mean, which isn't really, I was like, people have said that before, that's not anything. Gather ye round, gather ye round.

Yeah, that's not that out of the ordinary. You didn't coin anything. No, and it's also, are you a town crier? Yeah, what do you want us to gather around? You're a walking pile of tissues with googly eyes. Where does gather ye round come from? But anyways, he said that. He got a big running start.

He got a big running start. And then he, you know, it was like, are you filming, are you filming? To his dumb friend. And then he got a big running start and he dove into the mountain of tissues and I mean, not even a ripple. Oh no, it's true. It was like, yeah, like jello.

Like he was just caught in the mold. And now of course, now of course he's circulating, he's circulating that popular TikTok trend of like that music that's just somber chords like boom, boom. And it's like, little did he know this was the last time that he would jump into a pile of tissue. And little did he did know. That's right. Nice try did he.

Anyways, so the boys, I do want to say that Matt and Salencio, they're doing a really good job as if, and if you've been listening, they've written a pilot, they want me to be in a Mr. Doubtfire. So I'm doing the gender bending. Yes. And we're doing all single,. And we're doing all single cam shots plus practical zoom ins and outs. Yeah, shaky cam.

Shaky cam, steady cam. They don't understand that they can't be in the place where the shots are happening. They're constantly, that's why the spike marks are everywhere. And now what they want to do is, and you might like this, I mean, part of you will like it and part of you won't like it,

but I could say that about anything. I guess that's true. You know, we've talked about the movie, Mrs. Doubtfire. We definitely established that it was a run by fruity, not a drive by fruity, much to my shock. But there's that montage. We talked about it. It's like the mortadella effect.

It is the mortadella effect. What, can you remind me of what that is again? The mortadella effect What's what can you remind me that what that is again the mortadella effect? Is that You have a memory of all the cheeses being named different things. Oh, yes. Yes. Yeah, and that mortadella was a cheese And it's not it's not a cheese never was a cheese it's a meat that's right it never was a gym Oh, right because you're from you grew up in medium a meat. That's right. It never was a cheese. Oh, right. Because you're from, uh, you grew up in uh, medium Sicily. That's right. So anyways, the montage

that we talked about, you know, where you had an issue because one of the songs was we understood dude looks like a lady, right? When he's doing all the housework. We understood that. We understood that. We get that. That makes sense. But walk like a man makes no sense. Makes no sense because he's doing the opposite. Right. And I saw it and they said we want to do, we want to do a montage. I was like, make sure that they all make sense.

Cause burnt will be upset. So we're doing, Well, don't hang it all on me. I just, you know, it should be that the movie goers. Like a little naughty. Well, hopefully you're going to be one of the movie goers. Also it's a limited series, not a movie. That's fair.

I, I, I, I feel like, uh, uh, what happened? Did you want to say all the words again? No, I just lost. I just finally lost my point. Natural woman. Oh, that's Doug, our producer. Hey babe. That's well, yeah, my husband. Natural woman would absolutely make sense, Doug. Now, Doug, what room we can't see you, of course. What room are you in today? Also, I'm Joan Pedestrian by the way. I didn't really introduce. I don't even know if I said my name. My name was part of the appraising.

I said your name, I've said your name a couple times. It's true, it's true. I added the surname for context. To narrow it down. Doug's always in a different room that's being built and which one are you in today, babe? I'm actually outside, I'm in the driveway. Oh, in the driveway.

Oh, just in the driveway. I feel like you've been there before. Yeah. Well, I mean, there was the one time... Well, I've been to the driveway before. He's been in the garage because he was restoring that 1998 Ford Explorer. That's right. I was in the garage. Right. So now you're in the driveway.

What are you doing out there? You're not building a room out there. Well, I'm building a parking lot. What? Why? So I had this idea for the dignity error. The dignity error? Yeah, the baseball team. Yes, not to be confused with the Corkers who famously corked their bats.

They corked their bats, they were upfront about it. And they were super proud about it. Yes, they were. And yeah, that was very weird. So the dignity errors, that's right. They would hit home runs and then just shrug and then run the bases. Yeah. A big dramatic shrug,, what are you going to do?

That's right. The errors like the G League team is like the, like the movie, like the minor league. The G League team. G League. Are you talking about the... Wait, babe. Are you seeing G LeagueLeague like the Ben Aff like J-Lo movie? No, I'm saying J-League. You're saying J-League? G-League.

Okay. But you know, it works because they're so bad. It really does work. They're so bad. It really does work. It really should be called the Geelys. They're a terrible team. So it works to call them the Geelys. We should call them the Dignity Geelys.

Okay. So then why are you doing a parking lot for them? Because you know, we have parking meters on the curb. Yes, I know. I thought we rent out. I've always wanted a parking lot to own and operate a parking lot. We rent out spaces for people going to the... Who was not even employed to be in an empty parking lot.

Yes. It was like every once in a while, people would come to see a game. I can't remember which, but she sat in that little room. That's right. In the little booth. I think this is what it's about. Doug has always been sort of charmed by those little tiny booths because it's like your own little room. That's right. And the little booth. I think this is what it's about. But Doug has always been sort of charmed by those little tiny booths because it's like your own little space. What do you call it? The key Smiths. You know, the guys who we can't say one hour photo anymore because that's not a thing anymore. So it's not. So there's a few things going on here.

So there's a few things going on here. Oh boy. We rent, you know, choice parking spots. Oh, okay. Choice. Choice. Because we're not that far from the game. I feel like we're almost far enough that it's going to be a little weird.

But traffic always gets crazy. It's a long walk. But it is true. People do end up parking on our street. They have, especially on like, when there's like an overflow. Okay, go on. And I'm building a party van for like, if people want to shuttle to the get-

You're building the party van. From the ground up. You're not modifying an existing vehicle. Wait, you're literally hand-crash-customing building a car? Are you starting with the tires? Wow, Dave, I have the same question, Bert. You have to start with the tires. You have to. How do you get him to stay standing up? I have the same question, Bert. You have to start with the tires.

How do you get him to stay standing up? He's just trying to balance them. He's just constantly walking around to each one. Damn it, that one fell down. You put the two boys, hold two of them. Julya P holds the third. They're already so busy, babe. You've got the boys on this? Is he big? You've got the boys on this? You just put escrow. Escrow. Escrow is my 30-ish year dog. What, escrow doesn't move? Now he's 50, come on.

If anything, he's 35. If a dog was 30, he might as well live to 50. I guess so. What do you have escrow doing? You can't even see. Exactly, so he's just like a lump. He holds the tire up. Oh, babe, that's not very nice.

You just prop the tire up to escrow. He loves it. It's warm. Okay, so you're admitting to not building the tires. I'm not building the tires, let's not be crazy. Oh, you say it like, yeah, that's on me, that's on me. This is gonna be a great party van, Gary Glitter all day. Gary Glitter?

Yeah. Are you gonna be driving it? Rock and roll one and two. Can that be the last we talk about Gary Glitter? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Are you gonna be driving it? Yeah. Oh babe. I think that, I mean, first of all, it's going to be insured. You're going to have drunk people. Do you have seat belts? Is it going to be one of those Vegas things like a stripper? Hold on. Insured, drunk people, seat belts. Insured, drunk people, seat belts. That's an example of saying all the words at once. He doesn't have that filter. He can do it.

No, he can do it. And the Key Smith booth in the corner. He wants the Key Smith booth. I know you do. And you're going to be playing like your tunes. I know you are. You're going to have a little fan. You're going to have it to the perfect temperature.

I swear this is why he's doing it. What is the perfect temperature for the party van? The party van, yes, you want it hot because you want to sell some cold drinks. Yeah. And cold, cold burgers. Oh, so it's not a cold burgers. Yeah. Have you ever had the cold burgers at the errors games? No, that's right. All of their concession stands are basically in the upside.

Yes. Yes. It's pretty refreshing. Cold dogs. Flaming hot, icy. It's just a boiling ice. They light it on fire. They just put flaming cheetos in a blender. Add some ice.

A little dash of food coloring. Yes. And then they just, it's boiling hot and they still serve it in one of those wax cups. Just a paper. Yes. Plastic straw always melts. Good luck to you.

Skip it. Just skip it. It's lethal. You can't drink that. Well, okay. So it seems like the driveway should come first before you're building the car, but you're building the car first. Is that what's happening? I'm hosing down the driveway. The car is on hold.

Oh wow. It's very preliminary at this stage. But babe, where- That's the beauty of a parking lot. The driveway fits three cars. Shirley, what's your plan for fitting more? Can we, before we get into that. Okay. What's the beauty of the parking lot? Nothing.

Hosing it down? Thank you for catching that, Bert. Hosing it down is your only cost. What? We have to maintain, because a parking lot can get potholes. But, babe, it's not a parking lot yet also. So it's just the driveway. Are you thinking you're only going to sell three spots? No, I think we have room to grow.

What does that mean? We take the grass down. Take the grass down. Take it down. Yeah. Rip that down. These are semantics. Rip it down.

Take it down with extreme prejudice. Yes. President Gorbachev. Take that grass down. I think we could fit. Sorry, I guess it was Mr. Gorbachev. I don't want to misquote Reagan. No, that's a Mortadella effect.

Yes, I always call him President Gorbachev. I thought Mortadella died in jail. That's what I thought. We have room for at least two more spots. This seems not necessary. So then wait a minute. Well, the party van needs a spot. And so those only, the people, those three cars

are going to get in the party van. Well, no. Anyone can get in the party van. I don't think that three spots necessitate a key shack. Is this a walk-in welcome party van? The party van is a premium offering. Oh, boy. Oh, sure.

You can park and you can walk, or you can get in the party van. Right. Or you can duplicate your keys. Oh, so you are going to be making keys. You are still going to provide that service. Or you can't do all three yet. You can't do all three yet.

Yeah. Wow. I thought you were drawing a hard line and saying, it's one or nothing. Well, you've really thought this through, babe. Here's the thing. What if the Dignity Falls came back? Yeah, because you're on the street.

Oh, is that, how are you, here's the other thing. How are the trash? Oh, that's the neighbor in his mech outfit. In his what outfit? Oh no, not that guy. His mech outfit. He built like a big robotic suit. Oh, that's right. That's right. And he made a big deal about it. Yeah, this is Trevor.

And as you can hear, he's doing lunches right now. It takes forever when he does lunches. And it's not that big. It's not. He talked about it like, I'm going to live inside this thing. What's also weird is he walks three dogs with this. And so they're just sitting there waiting and they're just, because he's so slow. Yeah. Yeah. His leg, he's just trying to look at one leg right now. It looks more like they're walking him. Correct. Like he's an elderly dog that they are walking. I love when you see somebody walking an elderly dog. Me too. Oh, I love it so much.

That dog just ambling along and it's, it's, it's just like you, the dog really is out for a stroll. I mean, that's how it is when I walk escrow, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, uh, okay, babe. Well, how long, how long have we been talking? I feel like we should put, oh, I did want to just mention, I wanted to mention the songs in the montage, okay? In the Mr. Doubtfire montage. We've got it's raining men, right? Okay, yes, because, because Mr. Doubtfire is a woman pretending to be a man.

That's right. Right, okay. We've got men, men, men, the theme song from Two and a Half Men. Oh, great. Why not? Great. Perfect. Who's that by? Charlie Sheen and John Friar and that little religious boy. Is he super religious? He became super religious. Oh, gosh, what a shame. He condemned the show that he was on.

Still, still maintain maintain the presence on it. OK, great. Yeah. Got the paycheck. And you'll be happy that I intercepted them at Man I Feel Like a Woman, right? Because that's not correct. Yes. But that would have been such a great one for Mrs. Doubtfire,

but I don't think that song had been written yet. No, I don't think so. Also, Shania Twain doesn't age. It's wild, you should look it up. I saw her recently on a country music award show. She looked terrific. You did, I didn't know that you were in the country. I'm not. How'd you? I'm just know that you were in the country. I'm not.

How'd you? I'm just into award shows thanks to Gabby. Oh, and how is Gabby? Gabby's doing great. Okay, you guys are doing great. All moved in together. Boxes are all unloaded. We have one final box.

One last one, it's been weeks. And the good news is that silverware, which we do need. Oh, that was the last to come in. Yeah, so I got rid of my silverware, a little prematurely. I would say yes. Wow. You didn't think there was a way to join your silverwares? No, hers are bad.

What is it? Marry your silverwares? Hers are bad. When they marry the ketchup at a deli. The styles of silverware were too distinct. They would not have looked good side by side. I need to hear about the silverware. Well, Gabby's is their family heirlooms. Oh, goodness. They're beautiful silver.

Oh, this is like the fine silver, okay. Yes, they're gorgeous. Three or four points on the forks. They're four prongers. But there's also a smaller three prongers. For like a kid's life. Oh, for a cocktail, for a... For cocktail weenies?

For cocktail weenies. Cocktail weenies. No, we also, she has them all. She has them all. The weird little clam oyster forks. All the things. Everything. One of those big two pronged things you use to carve the turkey. Oh yes. I don't know what that's called. No one knows. And there's no way to find out.

And my silverware was all of course stuff that I made in shop class in high school. So we're talking some bent forks and some, you know. Well, I mean, I think bent is a little more crude. I feel like I put a judgment on it. Crude is fine. OK, OK. No, they were lead. And then Gabby thought that maybe they weren't safe. So I got rid of them immediately.

And then since then we've just been eating with our hands and we unfortunately really getting into it. Like we were, there were foods that you don't. I mean, it's so easy to buy plastic for, I mean, you just want to do that. You can buy those anywhere. The environment. But we, we first, we were eating just food you eat

with your hands. And then we were like, and then we saw the movie killing of a sacred deer and Barry Kiyokan, he's getting with his hands. You we were like, and then we saw the movie Killing of a Sacred Deer and Barry Kiyokan eats spaghetti with his hands. We're like, oh, let's try it. I have not seen that. Yeah, so we've been eating Chinese food with our hands. We've been eating just soup.

I mean, that's what the boys do. They always eat everything with their hands, yeah. Well, that's a different. So wait, you did do metal shop. That's always so interesting to me. I did do metal shop, yeah. That's how I ended up loving nitro burning farming cars. Oh, that makes so much sense. Well anyways, I'm glad that you,

I'm glad you got some nice stuff to eat with now. That's not just your hands. Yes, it's nice. I think that's very important. And metal shop was great. I made my dad's casket. Oh, out of lead. Not everything I made was out of lead.

It was aluminum, which people really, the Paul Bearers really appreciated. I'm sure they did. All right, we should take a break, right? We definitely should. Okay, we've got so many things to talk about. There's just so many things to talk about. All right, we will take a break.

This is Jaylene's headline, Dogs to Blame or Disrespectful Teenagers. Jaylene goes on, I'm sitting in my home and hear my dogs barking like crazy outside. So I go to get them thinking they are barking at the neighbors behind us or next to us. Nope, they are barking at kids in the street, barking at them. Now my dogs are behind a fence. However, I have a pit bull mix and if she needed to, she could probably clear the fence.

Now my dog would get into trouble or killed for teenagers in the street barking at them. Now I already have an ear infection and irritated, but I go to leave to go to urgent care these same kids then jump out at the edge of the road and start twerking at me as I'm driving by. Am I crazy for pulling over and speaking to the parents? Because they certainly looked at me like I was crazy that eight plus kids are out of the middle of the street being downright disrespectful to neighbors and putting my dogs at risk. IDK. I guess I need my neighbors to help let me know if I pulled a car on K A R O N because I don't feel well or these kids nowadays need to understand that disrespect shouldn't be

tolerated or ignored. Wow. Well that was Jaylene. Uh huh. But we don't have Jaylene today. No, we have one of these so-called alleged disrespectful to the hidgers barking right off the bat. Wow. Wow. Wow. Oh my goodness. I really did think there was a dog outside. I 100% did. I can already understand what Jaylene is complaining about. That is good barking. Now please tell us your name. That's disrespectful. She's just imitating you. Don't let it get to you, Burns. Don't let it get to you, Burns. You know what? I'm not going to. Well, okay. Stop, I'm Spin.

Spin. Stop, I'm Spin. Your name is Spin. Stop, I'm Spin. Stop, I'm Spin. Okay, old lady. Stop, like what's up? All right.

Okay, don't let it get to me. All right, all right. Don't let it get to me. All right, Spin. All right, Spin. All right, Spin. Now, Spin, can you tell us, Yeah.

did you start barking at the dogs first, you and your friends, or did the dogs start barking at you first and then you were responding in kind? I'll tell you, sir, right now. I respond to what I've been given. The dogs, that pit bull, that little scruff, barks at me. So I believe I can bark back. Okay. Let me ask a few questions. How old are you? And let me ask you a few questions. How old are you? All right. Well, that's not, that's not appropriate really. Well, you asked me so I think I can do it back to you.

All right. I am 45 years old. Okay. How old are you? I did it. How old are you? She was in the woman's over 42 choir. I was, but strangely I still can't get into the women's under 50 ensemble. So I don't know why. I don't know why. It is a real... Why would you bring that up Bernd? Because that really just sticks in my crop.

Well, I felt like I wanted to give you some of your Botafitas to spin here. Okay. Spin. I'm just curious to know how old you are just because I'm trying to get an idea if she's correct on age. Okay. Well you know what? I have three kids and they did this to me all the time. Spin, spin. And let me just tell you, let me just tell you, sorry.

Oh, okay. We are allowing you a platform here. I was about to make my point, but they stopped. I was so close. We're trying to hear your side of the story. You know allowing you a platform here. I was about to make my point, but they stopped. I was so close. I felt bad. We're trying to hear your side of the story. You know what? I appreciate that. Oh, you felt bad.

Yeah, I felt bad. Listen, I have this in my first rodeo, okay? Oh, that's true. I'm the mom of three teenage kids. Yeah, your eye contact's crazy. I'm 14. Okay, 14. And how many other kids were with you that day?

John, Michael, Sarah, Sarah, Junior, Sarah's older sister, who I don't know her name. OK, Beth. Fidget, my best friend and Cappuccino. Our fidget and your best friend, the person fidget and spin are friends that's kind of sweet. Cappuccino. That's really sweet. So we're talking about nine kids, including you. Yeah, Bird counted for you.

Cause I said how many and then you gave the name. Because Jaylene said eight plus. Eight plus. Yes, and I wanted to see if she was correct. Now here, let me ask the other question. It's kind of eight plus, just eight plus. Eight plus, I know. Eight plus.

No, we give up. We look like there's eight, but maybe a little bit more. Right. Okay. And you're saying, you're claiming that the dog barked at you first. Yeah. What were you doing? What were you doing out on the street? We play competitive soccer. Oh, in the streets on the street. No, it's competitive.

But all soccer is competitive. Okay. But Bert, maybe, maybe we should have them. Is it not? Maybe we should have them detail this to you. What is competitive soccer? It's a very competitive league. Okay, can you give an example of what is competitive about it? It's soccer with pushing.

Okay, this is what I was figuring, something like that. Okay, so you're playing soccer with pushing in the street. You could play with soccer all on one team. That's my husband, Doug, you can't hear him. I mean, you can't see him. I can't hear him, lady. My name is Joan and I made a mistake. Did you say you could play all on one team?

Yeah. I mean, you could play, I guess, non-competitive soccer where you're all working together. You're all trying to get it in the goal. To do what? To get it in the goal. And is there a goalie in that instance or no? That's a good question. Does the goalie just step aside? Well, the goalie would be on your team. The goalie makes a motion. Yeah, the goalie is still there, but he puts his hands out.

Yeah, helps it in. And then he says, good job. Give me, give me motions with his hands. Usher it in. Yeah. And then gives you a compliment afterwards. Doug, great charming. Yeah, I loved every minute of that. So you, you're pushing each other and playing soccer. Get bored. What's happening? Oh, okay. Get bored. Spin, this is your story. All right. I've been falsely accused. Well, exactly.

We want to hear your story. So you're playing. No, quickly here that I do this with my voice. Here's a Rubik's cube. Just kind of just work on it. Just put that in your hands. Yes. Okay.

And just, there you go. Okay. Everything's fine. Okay. So, um. You're playing your competitive side. This sounds very dangerous to play a game like this in the middle of the street But no one's ever driving around we ever really which Street is it? Uh, um Reagan Oh Reagan is a very sleepy street

It's like the president himself Much like the man in his name for it's very sleepy Street. It's very sleepy. street. But everyone puts out jelly beans for people, which is nice. That's true. Everybody. They put them out for people. Play Easter all year round. No, but we're on that street. We're playing competitive soccer and we're just trying to take it really seriously. So, excuse me. Is something funny about my activity? No. Oh no, not at all. Honestly, I find it charming. I mean, it's making me remember having my

kids around the house. It's honestly the quietest Rubik's Cube I've ever heard. It sure is. Well, it's on purpose. I found the right one. You like oiled it? Yes. Yeah, it does feel like really like lubed up. Like what? Like I was going to ask you if Vaseline on this thing. I took out its heart.

You took out its heart? Yeah, you don't know that it has like a sort of- Oh, you went to Destroy a Cube? Yes. Destroy a Cube is a business in town where- It's like Build-A-Bear. But what they do is they take the heart out of a Rubik's Cube. That's right.

I've always wanted to go to that store. So you don't get all that clicking and clacking and my boys were into it. I was like, I got to do something about this. It's like de- declawing a pet. So it's pretty quiet. But anyway, so, so here's, here's the next question because this really caught my attention is that Jaylene mentions the parents there. Now what were the parents doing there? Cause this, to be honest, let me, let me just say, spin this sounds like, thank you. This sounds like-

The parents are standing right there. Right, right. This sounds like behavior that teenagers are getting into without their parents around. So your parents were all okay with you barking, twerking. I don't know. Can you take me through why they were there and what was going on?

Barking, twerking. Yeah. We'll get to the twerking later. Yes, I definitely want to get to the twerking. So I'll be clear. My dad and his buddies, this is why I call it competitive soccer. Oh. They're putting money on our team. Oh no. They're gambling.

Yeah. They're betting on your game. But it makes us work harder. I don't know how I feel about this. Okay. mad. Was it all just dads then? No moms. Cause that would make sense. Of course it's only dads. Who else is betting on these, on these games? Is it all the dads? And before you ask Doug, no, we're not going to, it's not, don't ask about if like people who aren't on Reagan street can get involved.

Cause I know he's already thinking that's a great idea. No, we're trying to start a league. Are you into it? Oh, boy. Minda jelly beans. Oh, I think he stopped listening after. Oh, damn. Yeah. So wait, so it's a bunch of dads. Yeah, a bunch of dads. And we have like, it's kind of like fantasy football, but we're the fantasy. Oh, okay. So, you know, you know what I mean? That's just what dad says. So we play the game. Okay.

And what's getting annoying is some of these dogs have something to say about us. Well, sure. I mean, I think that's understandable. I'm sure it's very loud. Is it 42 year old lady? Well, thank you for the downgraded age. I'm so happy.

Is it? We're trying to be respectful and play a good game. And I can't focus on the ball when that little fucking dog is yapping wet. Okay, first- Well, we'll ask you maybe not to swear. It's okay. I mean, apparently it's okay for guests too,

but not for me too. Doug doesn't like it. First, I just want to say a response of, is it to something? Actually it's very effective. I really feel like someone has made their point so well. I can't come back. I can't come back to it. Even if you know for certain that you are right, if someone says, is it, it does force you for even a moment. Especially the way Spin just said it. I was just, I was just taken aback.

Yeah. But I'm going to push through. And you know what? I do think that it is disruptive to dogs because, you know, all dogs are doing it, they're in their yards, they're responding to sounds. And I imagine that this is a very loud game that you're playing if it's competitive and your dads are betting on it. And if there's as much shoving as you say, there's no way that it's silent. It's not as quiet as Rubik's Cube. That was the jumbo Rubik's cube that just got talked about.

Oh, please, can I have that one, please, please, please, please. Well, the hearts in it still, but here. It's too loud. Ah, here, here, you can have this foam one. I have a, I have a foam cube. It's a foam Rubik's cube. It's really fun. OK, OK. So basically they think that maybe they have to defend the human out there.

Dogs might be responding because they think someone's in trouble. They want to defend the house. That's right. Hopefully that makes sense. Can I be vulnerable? Yeah. Oh, sure. I'd love it. Yeah, be vulnerable. I'm trying to tell them that there's no threat.

You're trying to tell the dogs. Yeah. So you're saying when you were parking back at the dog, you weren't trying to antagonize him. You were trying to tell the dogs. Yeah. So you're saying when you were barking back at the dog, you weren't trying to antagonize him. You were trying to calm him down. I'm trying to say, I'm trying to go, weren't, I think they think we're hurting each other. Can you give me an example of how you barked that? Yeah.

And just to be clear for the listeners, there was also some hand motions like knock it off or like all good or like safe. Yeah. Just like safe. Yeah. Um, BLEH! Just like a... Which honestly sounds a lot like the umpires at the errors games to be honest. That's exactly what they do when they say things. Because they don't know,

they're not paying attention. So they just make a noise and then they let everyone else interpret. That's what I want to be when I grow up. Oh that, you'd be very good at it. For the errors? In the gillily? In the gillily.

In the gilly league. So wait, can I ask you this? You know that some dogs respond to actual English or you know, sort of whatever culture, whatever English, actual words like sit and heel and good boy. Did you ever think of just saying, it's okay, good boy, it's okay, calm down? I tried to say shut it. Oh, well that's not, that's gonna be. Or I tried to say turn it it. Oh, well that's not, that's, or I tried to say, turn it down little girl.

Okay. This is all to the dog. Normal words, not working lady. So, they're normal words. They are no rewards and maybe not a normal situation or scenario. So, um, next. So, is it, Oh, they did it again. Okay. so wait a minute. Here we go. I I want to know now. I want to get to the twerking only because I have a follow up question about it. So so because I'm confused as to whether or not this was the first incident. You remember seeing the Jaylene driving out away because as she says,

she had an ear infection. And let me tell you, have you ever had an ear infection? They're terrible. OK, I haven't as an adult I used to when I was little really as an adult you're saying as an adult now yeah I mean as a 13 year old I feel like pretty adult as a 13 year old well I feel I thought you were 14 oh yeah that's right spin did say 14 which is it wait a minute are you even younger than 13? Shut it. Spin, I'm gonna ask you a question.

I'd like a direct answer. Are you a tween? How'd you know? Well, I am a pharmacist. And so, it's a thing where you become used to people's ages because of the maladies that they are getting prescriptions filled for. You're like, well, people that get this,

they're usually this age. This age, right? Can you delete it? Can you delete it? Delete what? The video, the file that says I'm 12? No! We're not going to do that.

Spin, we're not going to do that. There's no file, there's no another, it's fine. There's no file, spin. Don't be upset, there's no file, spin. I think spin meant the sound file, not like a. At the pharmacy. Yeah. If there's any pharmacy files or the audio file or the MP3.

It's fine that you're 12. I'm glad you were honest, you know. And you don't have to. Oh, no. No, spin's starting to cry. No, I'm not. There's big fat tears rolling down. Honestly, they're moving in slow motion. It's just a face. I make when I'm about to dance.

I'm about to twerk on you. Don't, don't, you will not twerk on us. So, so when you, when she, when Jay, Jaylee left, you were barking at her. Why did you bark at her? Right? Doesn't she say that she was barked at? Yes. Why did you bark at her? I kind of got carried away. Okay. And this, are you sort of the leader of the pack with your, with your friends? Yeah. Me, fidget and cappuccino. Okay. And then the girls stand behind us. So I don't know how I feel about that. But do they also start barking? Yeah, the girls are kind of going like, meow. Okay, that's not barking at all. Nope, it's a meow. It's a straight up meow.

I would say that's meowing. Meow. Which is not mentioned, Jaylee. I guess it wasn't as helpful. Because girls are cats and boys are dogs. No, that's true. Well, let's not just say an absolute yes to that. And that seems a little bit, you know.

I think people feel that way though. Do they? I'm just trying to support your point. Now spin. I've been acting insecure this whole time. It's okay. We're not trying to, you're not in trouble. Okay. Let me just know that.

Not with us. Yeah, right. So when I think that's why kids sort of get worked up like this when they think they're in trouble, you're not in trouble. I think I thought the mic, and I thought it was very official. Of course, of course.

You're bringing me on. I mean, it is an official podcast. Like a statement. This podcast is official. It's very official. It's been certified. It has been certified. Okay.

By the board of podcasters. Oh, that's, that scares me. Cause I said I was 12. It's okay. It's okay. You're allowed to be on this podcast. Yes. But, but we're just trying to get to the bottom and we would actually, the reason we bring

people on like you is to sort of give us your perspective, you know, because in this, in this instance, it makes it sound like there was some wrongdoing on your end, but let's get your perspective. So when she came back, why did you twerk? This is an official podcast. Yes. When she came back. Your honor, your honor, this is why... No, no, you don't have to do that.

Your Honor, you definitely don't have to do that. Your Honor, this is why I twerked when she came back. He's swearing on a candle like it's a Bible, but anyways, don't... You don't have to do that. Looks old. It is. It's a very old candle. Lady, the twerk was an apology. Really? The twerk was an apology. Okay. I'm going to need to unpack now. Yeah,

walk us through that. She came back and she looked really sad. And one of the girls said, maybe she's in pain. Okay. And she was driving back. She did have an ear infection. She did have an ear infection. She was driving kind of like with one hand on the wheel and the other hand like. Oh, wow. She was holding onto her ear. Holding her ear. Wow. And it looks like she was swerving pretty badly. The way that spin is demonstrated. Like someone driving in a movie. Literally, it was like, oh my God.

The wheel's going all over the place. Yeah, oh my God, my ear infection is moving and turning. Oh wow, okay. Yeah, and so then I was like, for sure, surely she'll understand if I dance. That's what I do when I feel a little out of control. The dancing specifically was twerking. Like you weren't doing like a sort of Alvin Ailey

you know, sort of interpretive thing. You just straight up start twerking. I'm not sure spin would know Alvin Ailey. Do you know Alvin Ailey's spin? All I know is twerk. That's the only dance I know. Show me another one. I've never seen it. I think that'd be a great t-shirt. You're all twerking no Ailey. All I know is twerk. All twerking no Ailey.

My dad once was like, do a step touch. And I kind of twerked as I stepped touch. Okay. So you can't stop twerking. If there's any dancing involved, you have to include twerking. I think, I think. I think that force spin dance is twerking.

Yeah, that's what I'm getting. I think dance is moving the ass up and down. Okay. Oh, I'm sorry. The B-U-T-T. I'm not allowed to cuss on this courtroom. Will you just repeat that statement? We're not in a courtroom.

Yeah, we're not. We're at a kitchen island. I wanna try something. Repeat that statement. Well, I'm sorry. No, not that. I guess the ass is. That's not.

Your honor. Before that. The jerk wasn't, the tw torque was an apology. Not, not that when you said that you believe that, uh, all dances twerking. Yeah. I believe all dance is twerking. Is it? Oh, I see what he's trying to do. Oh, it's see how it feels.

See how it feels. I think that was important from down there to hear that. I'm 11. Oh no, you're getting younger. Spin spin. You absolutely should not be twerking at people. You know what? It is crazy because as I'm looking down, spins legs are swinging from the stool. So honestly, it's

because it's big. It's really tall. It's not that tall. No spin. Look, you're just, you're just a kid. You shouldn you shouldn't be, we don't like to tell guests what they shouldn't be doing. We like to give advice, but you are, you're a young person and you're, you should be, this is a, you're on a bad path right now is what I would say. I think so. It sounds like, and you know what, who I'm blaming right now are these dads. I just think they've put you in a real type of situation of like a cockfight where they're pitting their kids against each other

on the street in a violent game and betting on it. And to be honest, I just want to win so my dad can make big bucks and we can go to KFC. And I think those dogs, those dogs are in my face and I can't focus. Well now they're behind a fence. I know, but they're like, they're so loud. Okay, I get it. But do you see what we're trying to say is the bigger problem here is, is that, can you tell me maybe some other things that you do at home with your dad?

You know, is there other, other? Before we get into that, because I do want to know about the, about Spins home life, but I want to know, did we, did we we get into that? Okay. Cause I do want to know about the, about spins home life, but I want to know, did we, did we establish what were the parents doing? They were there betting on the game. So, but when, when, when Jaylene pulls over and talks to the parents, what does she say and what did they say in response? So she, she, has that already been established? So I think this one, she's saying,

I don't think I want to be a Karen. And I know, I know she doesn't want to be a caron. But I think that there's a moment, I think that there's a moment where there is a discussion of what the parents might've said, or maybe right when she's talking to the parents, that's when the kids came over and started twerking. No, no, no. She, the kids are twerking the sacred text. The kids are,

the kids are, we have to respect the text. And I'm not here to interpret the text. I'm here to just say it mammoth style as it is written. Please say it mammoth style. But I had to go to leave to go to urgent care. These same kids then jump out of the jump out at the edge of the road and start twerking at me. Am I crazy for pulling over and speaking to the parents because they certainly looked at me like I was crazy. Okay. Now she's asking the people reading this, am I being a camera on?

I understand that. I understand that. Okay. So she doesn't talk about what she actually said. No, and what the parents said back. Great. Then we know the parents looked at her like she was crazy. Then let's definitely like, let's get to this.

What was the conversation between Jaylen and the dads? Well, I was too busy shaking my ass. Oh, okay. But it did along the lines of she like pulled up and she was like, I'm being a Karen. Oh, she said, she had an accent. I don't mean to be a Karen. What accent is that?

That's my voice for women. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. I see. I see. I'm going to encourage you to experiment a little bit with that. Keep an open mind that maybe that's not how all, not all women. This is my impression of you. Watch some stand up. I'm going to make you experiment on that. That's not all women. That was, that was not accurate. You should watch some 1980s standup comedy done by men to get an idea of what women sound like.

No, Burd, Burd, what are you doing? What are you doing? Okay, I'll look that up right now. No, no, no, please don't. No, I'll look that up right now. Okay, I'm going to put it on my phone. I got so many tabs open. Okay, great. 1980s standup comedy. Thanks for that. Stand up comedy.

Thanks for that. Okay. Oh, she was like, she was like, I don't mean to be a car. Oh, but my ear hurts and get these kids off. They keep dancing off of my car. Okay. And then what did one of the dads say? Did anyone say anything?

He was like, my dad was like, sit up straight, spin. Sit up straight. Were you sitting? Because what were you? Well, when I torque, my chest goes down. I see, there's some real chest contractions happening. Yeah, no, no, it's an unfortunate part of the dance that I look like a loser.

But it's weird that he wouldn't recognize that what you're doing is dancing, that he actually thinks you're sitting with bad posture. Well, he's like, stand up. I think he wanted me to look good in front of the neighbors. Can I ask, what does your dad do for a living? Great question, Jo. Thank you. Oh. It's a good question.

Oh. I know he goes on his computer. Oh, boy. He goes on his computer. Yeah. So he works from home? I think so, yeah. My mom says freelance graphic design is what he does. Oh, boy. Every word in there concerns me. Yeah. Yeah. My mom says, um, freelance graphic design is what he does. Every word in there concerns me. Looks like a lot of Microsoft paint.

Wow. Wow. And what does your mom do? Oh, she's a Congresswoman. Oh wait, what's your last name? Uh, spin Riker. Oh wait, what's your last name? Uh, Spinryker. Oh wait, Congressman Spinryker. Do you know my mom? I know Congressman Spinryker, yes. Have you ever met her?

I haven't, but well, you know, I showed her an apartment once, which I was a little weird. I was like, Oh, is your family moving? She was like, no. Why would she need to look for another? I don't know, Spin. Maybe I shouldn't have told the story. Maybe she was looking for a campaign office. That's all it was. That's all it was a, no. And why would she need to look for another? I don't know, Spin. Maybe I shouldn't have told the story. Maybe she was looking for a campaign office. That's all it was.

That's all it was a campaign office. Like in a residential neighborhood. Why would you want to put a campaign office in a residential neighborhood? But I got to tell you, she smelled amazing. She smelled so good. Did she still smell good? Oh, I remember her slogan was catch a whiff.

My mom never smells good anymore. She's too tired. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we need to tie the mom and a Congresswoman. It's what he's supposed to do. A mom, Chris woman. It's mostly me, my dad and our neighbors just hanging out all the time. Oh, dear. And my mom comes home and goes clean it up. Oh no. Clean it up. Sounds like another man. We really got to work on your woman voice. So, and so what, as Joan asked earlier, what do you and your dad do at home? What are some of your activities? Yeah, I want to know about something other than this. Um,

it's the sort of, uh, yeah. Yeah, we're doing, we're doing drills. I'm going up and down. Yeah. A soccer drill? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're doing suicides. We're doing drills. I'm going up and down. Yeah. I'm doing, yeah. Yeah. We're doing suicides. We're doing them. I'm punting a lot in the house. Okay. Yeah.

I want to, here's the thing. Star jumps, press ups. Damn. Whoa. Hi, I did not know that you knew so much about soccer. This is interesting. Where's this coming from? I only know things.

I expect to understand. I only know things about British calisthenics. That's all I know. I don't really know what's really good. What? Star jumps and press ups. I see. And why is that? That's jumping Jackson pushups.

Of course it is. Why is that? That was, when I was, when I was little, there was an exercise show that was on TV, but it was dubbed with an English accent. I love hearing about your childhood hurt. I just love it. It was dubbed in an English accent. I love hearing about your childhood bird. I just love it.

It was dubbed in an English accent. Yeah, it was an American show, but it was dubbed over with an English accent. Wait, why are you watching it with an English dub? I don't know. It might have been a VHS now that I think about it. That someone dubbed over? Yeah.

So it's like a Richard Simmons video, but someone was like, hello there. It was Richard Simmons. Yes. But someone came in and took his voice and video, but someone was like, hello, hello there. Yes. But someone came in and took his voice and said, instead of jumping jack star jumps. Yes. That is very bizarre. That's very bizarre. We're going to do 20 star jumps. Time for press ups down on the floor with you. Oh, he was a rolling ours kind of Brit. Wow. That is very standard Brit. Rada trained.

Rada. So, okay. If I lived with you guys, would you make me play sports? No, spin. First of all, listen. No, no. See, this is where I put my, I'm going to put that mom hat on.

And I am very concerned because the fact that you want to live here. Have you ever seen a hat like that before? That's a massive hat, lady. That was July that gave you that from Mother's Day. Yes, it's made of balloons. I can't believe it's still inflated. That was a few years ago.

Lady, that's the biggest hat I've ever seen. It helps me concentrate on being a mom. It gives your hair so much static. It helps me go to my mom palace. Okay. So here's the deal, Sven. I don't like what I'm hearing right now. You are, you are put in this sort of really violent sounding game that your parents, that your dad, I'm sorry, I'm not going to develop a congress moment in this, that your dad is having you do, he's betting on you. And then at home, there's no break. He's having you train, you're doing unalives, you're doing the star jumps, you're doing all of these things. And I think that that is unhealthy. And I think that that's not fair to someone as young, possibly younger than you've even said you are as young as you 16 and now we just jumped up.

No, you can't. You can't go. I think I said no. Spinning. You said, is it? You can't. You're not going to get me with that. I think the wheels are coming off on is it? Yeah. Seems are starting to show.

This is coming off more than the ones in the driveway. You couldn't mean that instead of standing up to my dad, I'm attacking everyone, including you two fine old people. Wow. Aside from the final people part, I was really touched by that. And those dogs? That was an amazing, an epiphany that you just had, Spinn. We also don't, we're not advising that you attack your dad.

No, I just maybe. What's going on is look. Just talk to him, talk to him and say, I want to be a kid. I don't like doing this all the time. I am blind and I don't like what I think I see. You can't. It's not OK that he's only equating a father's love with, you know, how much money he gets off you in this game. This is not OK. It's not okay.

And I'm taking it out on the dogs and that poor woman with an ear infection. And that's not Jaylene's fault. That is right. That you're seeing, you're seeing through, you know what? Maybe it's because kids' brains are so malleable. They can actually still learn because most of our adult guests, they never seem to have these kind of breakthroughs. I'm taking this in like a sponge.

We had one. We had one guest. Oh, here's a sponge. Rubik's Cube. Have this one. It's very similar. Yay! It's different than the had one. We had one guest. Oh, here's a Spongebob X cube. Have this one. It's very similar. Yay! It's different than the foam one. Right. First of all, it's all wet. It's sopping wet. Whoa. Is that dish soap on this thing?

It sure is. It makes it all fun. I love dish soap. Don't drink. Don't. Don't lick it. Don't lick it. Don't lick it. Don't lick it. No, don't. Please stop. Stop. Don't lick it. Don't put it in your pants. It makes me see stars Don't lick it. No, don't. Please stop. Stop. Don't lick it. Don't put it in your pants. It makes me see stars. No, spin. Spin. That's not good. You're not supposed to do that. Spin, are you seven years old?

Keep it out of your pants and out of your mouth. Are you seven years old? Be honest. For the audio listener, I'm twerky. Oh, yes. You're not going to twerk your way out of this one. Is that an apology? Was that an apology twerk?

Well, the voice of God, is that your husband again? Oh, yes it is. That's Doug, not God, but Doug. Um, I'm seven. Oh no. Oh no. Spin is seven spin. Oh, it really does. It's amazing that you have the awareness and perspective to

say that spin. Don't get younger than seven. I promise you I won't. Okay. Oh, thank God. You're big for your age. You know, we always say to kids, stop getting so- What are you two wearing? We always say to kids, oh.

What is this? Where'd you guys get these clothes? What are you talking about? They're just clothes. Yeah, Burge is wearing his pharmacy in chief robe, which is standard. I've never seen anything like it. Well, and I'm just wearing a robe.

Okay, so fine. seen anything like it. Well, and I'm just, I'm just wearing a robe. Okay. So I'm wearing, of course I'm wearing a velvet robe. That is the, the, my, my, uh, the mantle of office. Both wearing robes. Mine is just regular terry cloth. That doesn't mean anything. My mom wears those ribs when she comes back from her campaign office. Oh no. Oh no. Probably cause she's working, right? That's all it is. She's just working. She's working. She wants to relax. She's just working. Honestly, I've been given so many slippers and robes by all the boys and my family. I just wear one every day just so that it gets some, you know, so that I feel like

at least it was worth something. It's her mother's shit. Joe lives in Terry cloth. I live in Terry cloth. I live in Terry cloth. Live love Terry cloth. So spin. I think at this point, I feel like we've, we've maybe gotten through to you a little bit and that you realize that you don't need to be playing soccer to support your father's gambling habit. You probably see your mother more in clothes and less in terry cloth if that happened. I also think maybe, don't you think maybe you owe

an apology to Jaylene and you could do that right here. Oh, that's nice, Berndt, I like that. Cause she probably listens. She probably listens. Is definitely not a fan. But if she's with one ear at least. We have listeners, correct? We have listeners, but not fans.

But if she listens, how could she see my big old aunt going up and down? She doesn't need to see that. Oh, I thought you meant. That's how I apologize. Oh, well you know what? Maybe let's try this. Can you try this?

Repeat after me. I'm sorry. Only if you give me another sponge. Oh, wow. This time, no Rubik's Cube, just sponge. No Rubik's Cube, just a sponge. Here is a sponge. Get the huges out of it sponge. No Rubik's Cube, just a sponge. Here is a sponge. Keep the Cuges out of it.

I'm not trying to trick you with a Cuge. What? That is sometimes you'll have to do that with little kids. It's like, of course you can't give them a Cube, so you give them a Cuge. No, you have to give them a Cuge. Yeah, it's like giving them kid scissors. I'm sick of these Cuges.

All right. Thank you for the sponge. All right, now repeat after me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Oh, that was All right. Thank you for the response. All right, now repeat after me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Oh, that was good. A little more volume next time. A little more volume.

I'm sorry. Now that is... You're undermining the apology. Yes. I'm gonna put up undermining in one of my tabs later after I look up 1980s standup. What does undermining mean? I'm back.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. To the court. Nope, nope, to Jaylene. I'm sorry, Jaylene. I'm sorry, Jaylene. That is perfect. That's beautiful.

Then what are you sorry for? Rubbing my ass up on her Hyundai. Okay. And barking at her dog. Okay. And being a part of something that my dad is starting that I don't want to be a part of. Wow, this is, I mean, this is amazing.

And you know what? You're- The problem's amazing. You're a, burnt? What is wrong with you? This always happens. We get to the point- What is it not good enough for you, old man?

Is it not good enough for you? No, we've undone everything. Mr. I'm a pharmacist. I'm a pharmacist. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know what, Burnt? Honestly, you deserve this. You deserve this.

You deserve this reaction. Blah. I mean, I'll take it. I'm a shad pharmacist man. A what? I'm a shad pharmacist. A shad pharmacist man. A what? I'm a Shad pharmacist. A Shad pharmacist man. A Shad?

What's a Shad? You're a Shad. Oh no. I got the Shad. If I looked that up on Urban Dictionary and it's something obscene, you're in trouble. I'll see you guys around. I'm not a Shad, am I?

Oh, he's gone. Wow, he just ran out the door. Whoa, there he goes. He disappeared like Rubble Stiltskin. What? Oh, he's barking out there. Oh, he's barking out. Ah, I didn't do anything.

Oh no, he's got Doug. Give me your hose, hose down this sponge. Oh no. Okay. Yeah. All right, well, best of luck to you, Spin. You want to ride home? You're a good kid.

Oh, that's nice. Doug is offering Spin a ride home. That's good. Oh, in the party bus? Absolutely. It's not even built yet. Spin's not a good kid. I don't know why you're lying.

Oh, I guess he's just driving him home in his car. When I hear Gary Glitter, it's time to go to a break. So we'll be back with more of The Neighbored Listen when The Neighbored Listen returns. ["The Neighbored Listen Theme"] Hi, it's Kira. This is for free. It's 30th anniversary slash birthday napkins.

It's a pack of napkins with cheers to 30 years! Exclamation mark design. It's opened, but there are still at least 40 napkins inside. Now these are nice. They're white napkins, square, goldish lettering, end numbering if you count the 30. The 30 not spelled out, it's the 3-0. And there's a lot left over because the party didn't go as well as I thought it would go. For the first 30 years of my life, I was completely sober. I didn't have a drop to drink and I never touched a cigarette even.

I think I swore twice. And then when I turned 30, I thought, let's have some fun. And then I got just nuts. I drank, I did drugs, I did all the sexes. I just did everything you could get addicted to. I was doing my strange addiction, eating couch filling and stuff. I mean, I did it all and it was not fun.

So I was celebrating the end of 30 years of non-sobriety. I'm 60 now and I did so many 12-step programs. Like I didn't know there were that many. And I did them for all of my various addictions and now I'm doing great. But I really did, because of the addictions, I lost a lot of friends. And so there were plenty of napkins left over. But the people that did come, of course I cherished them. And the other people, I would try to do the steps and they would say, you've got to be kidding me, and slam a door in my face.

Or they would return a letter with you know you've got to be kidding me written at the bottom. One person sent me a telegram that said you've got to be kidding me. So I really did burn some bridges but learn my lesson. So if you need these napkins they're free. and get them I think everyone knows where I live I made quite a spectacle of myself oh my goodness well I really hope that sweet little boy can sort of work out sweet little boy yes I mean I do know half of that stuff half the time a kid is fighting it's cuz they're hurting

I know I know and his home life sounds absolutely dreadful terrible. Yeah, but he was what a little monster Did you really give him a ride home, babe? Yeah, actually Wow, he's twerking the whole time in the car. Well, I mean it is a party van It's not covered so it's kind of like a convertible. Wait, so you're just like on the flatbed of a truck. So, okay. Here's what I'm picturing. Okay. Yeah. I'm picturing, I'm picturing four wheels, some sort of machinery, enough to make it go and to on. And to stand on. I'm picturing you standing with a steering wheel in your hands. So far so good. And that's it.

Oh boy. Yeah. And there's a pole. Of course the pole is there already. Like a stripper pole? Yeah, but it's, you know, dancing. That's, pole is dancing? Are we supposed to call it a dancing pole?

No, I don't know. It don't have to strip. What was that noise you just made? I don't know. Well, that sounds very unsophisticated. We're supposed to go dancing pole. No, I don't know. It don't have to strip. What was that noise you just made? I don't know. Duh duh. Duh duh. Duh duh.

Duh duh. Well that sounds very unsafe. It truly does. Did you happen to see like his dad? His dad was standing there waiting for us with arms folded. Wow. There was just wagging his finger. Oh, I don't know where he gets off doing that.

Did you at least get some babies? Dad of the year. No. Really? I didn't know. I know that's where he gets off doing that. Did you at least get some jelly beans? No. Really? I didn't know. I know that's why he really went. I forgot he was on Reagan. He wanted those jelly beans.

I forgot. They do put them out for people. They do what? They do put them out for people. They do put them out for people. Well, we only have time for one more post-show and I think you have one for us. Yeah, I mean, this one is so, it's so short.

Sometimes I just worry that people don't include enough detail for what it is that they really would like. Absolutely. You know, this is from Katrina. It says, hi everybody, God bless of you. I have a room available for rent and Dignity Falls area. Contact me for more info. There's no pictures, there's nothing else.

Wow. And I'm not sure she's going to get any takers because you've given me nothing. I now also am wondering what's up with you because you say, God bless of you. That's not a thing. Oh, you know what they say that is New Barn. Oh, God bless of you.

Right, God bless of you. Yeah. That's right. Everything they do. They're so, God bless of you. God bless of you. Yeah. Oh, that's right. Everything they do. They're so god blessed. They always say these United States or in these our United States. They say that sometimes these are United States. They just suck. They just suck. They really do. Yeah. You know, when somebody offers a room for rent, it always conjures up something stifling.

I think that's why you need to include a picture. Make us see you're safe. Make us see what the yard looks like. Okay. This is not something creepy. Also let us know specifically where it is. Yeah. Is this like a two room domicile and it's you and whatever, Katrina. Katrina, and I just don't like, God bless you. And I just don't like that. There's also just this sort of idea of like,

I'm doing none of the work. You have to call me if you want anymore stuff. Exactly. And that's just not the way to go about it. This is not exactly- Talk to your neighbors. It's not exactly the snowman. Mr. Policeman, I gave you all the clues.

It's not exactly the snowman. Mr. Policeman, I gave you all the clues. It's not exactly the snowman. Mr. Policeman. Yeah, do you remember that movie when that movie came out? Which movie? The snowman? The snowman. And it was about serial killer called The Snowman. No. And it was set in some Scandinavian country. I never saw it.

And the advertising campaign was like a crudely drawn snowman. Oh, and, you know, it's handwritten scrawling. Mr. Policeman, I gave you all the clues. Oh, I don't like that. Apparently no one did. Should watch. Should we do a watch log in the snow? Oh my God.

I think so. Is it a European movie? I've never seen it. Is it actually a Scandinavian film? It's Michael Fassbender's in it. Oh, is he naked? I don't know. I mean, snowman with a gigantic penis.

It's set during the winter, so probably not. Is it having a carrot down there? If he's the snowman. Or maybe an aubergine. Well, lucky all the clues sounds like evidence to me. Oh boy. You love evidence. You love evidence.

My interest. That's right. That tickles Doug's brain. It sure does. He hears about evidence. Are you actually laughing? Tee hee hee? I've never heard that.

I've never heard that in person before. I've never had Bert come for my laugh before. I'm not trying to come for it. I just was so, you don't always do that. It was not intentional. It tickled my brain. And that's what that sounds like. Do you know anyone who laughs?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Wait, what was the question? Do you that sounds like. Do you know anyone who laughs? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Wait, what's the question? Do you wonder who laughs? Do you know someone? Do I know someone who laughs? Do you wonder who laughs? Ha ha ha ha ha ha. The answer of course is Santa Claus.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Nope, that's not. Be a face. Oh. That was so upsetting. And the face you made, it was so un-Santa-like. Again, it's always giving like a, just like the way that spin just giggled and escaped,

like Rumpelstiltskin, it was very, very like small Rumpelstiltskin man. Not according to my girlfriend. I know. Gabby only hears Santa and I love that. When she listens to you, she hears Christmas. Isn't that just lovely? I mean, not all the time. Okay. Not whatever I say. It's only when I'm doing the Santa voice. I understand. I was just trying to sort of make a figurative point.

Okay. Well, this is a really tense moment to end on. No, it's not. I swear. I'm not trying to be tense. Okay. Well, thank you for listening.
