This is the podcast that looks at the neighborhood. neighborhood of Dignity Falls through the eyes of its many residents, two of whom are us.

My name is Burt Me a Payday. I am the pharmacist and chief at the Dignity Falls, Massey. And with me as always is Joan Pedestrian. And I am the Dignity Falls top realtor and top local actress. Correct. And that was such a great intro, Bert. I think that really kicks off season 10. Well, you know, I was so excited because think about that, 10 seasons.

It's a big deal. It's a big deal. 10 of anything is a big deal. What's the, what's the, what's the, thing of the 10th anniversary. What paper? It's not paper. What is it? Well, in Dignity Falls, we have our own. Oh, why am I asking that? I suppose because I realize not of all our, not all of our listeners. Not of all of our listeners are from Dignity Falls. So I went straight to thinking of our listeners. That's right. Yes, we do have our own in Digny Falls. It's not

like I forgot that 10 was screws. Ten is screws. If you, and it can be any kind of screw. Any kind of screw. Phillips, Flathead. Wooden. Wooden screw. You can give a copy of Turning of the Screw by Henry James. Correct. Screw tape letters? The screw tape letters, of course. It's more of a theme, really, right? Screw magazine.

It's more of a theme, is what we're saying. What are some of the other ones that? What are the ones you like best? Oh, I like corduroy. Quarterway is great. That's 17. Yes, and a lot of people give pillows. People give pillows.

You can give the book Corderoi. We've talked about it. about that stuff before. We've talked about that before. We've talked about that. We've talked about that bear. Mm-hmm. That bear breaks my heart.

Have we? What is corduroes? I don't think I've ever read. Corderoi is, I'm gonna, I'm gonna cry. I'm gonna cry. I'm gonna cry. He's, he's, he's name is cord. He's named.

His name is corduroy. Yes. But he's wearing corduroy. I believe he's wearing corduroy, uh, uh, overalls. Okay. And he's, he's missing a button. Oh no. I know.

And the whole, it's just to search for a button. Maybe it's just, maybe it's really more existential than that. Search for a button. It's a search for a button. Can I tell you something now? I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm not very active on social media. Okay. But I do, uh, follow on one of the platforms.

There's a, uh, sort of bot that just, that just posts, uh, excerpts from frog and toad. Oh, yes. I know what you're talking about. And these guys. Now, it's all out of order, right? Yes. So I have no idea. But there's a lot of talk about a button.

There's a lot of talk about. about a button. And boy, oh boy, these guys are really going through it with this button. The more I think about it, they might be, be both going through early stage dimension. And it's never, it's never, it's ever mentioned. They're quiet. They wear sweaters. They're sitting by the pond. Yes. They're not doing much. They don't have people. Their family doesn't come visit. Their conversations are very mundane. They might already be dead. They're very mundane. It might be a waiting for Godot moment. It might be a waiting for Godot situation.

Oh, I didn't know. Where they just talk about a button endlessly, you know. In waiting for Godot, is that, is that a theory that they're dead? Oh, oh, yes, definitely. You didn't know that? I did not know. Well, people don't shame, theater shame me. I never mean to theater shame anybody. And you know what?

I'm going to slap myself on the wrist for that. Ow. I am so sorry that I did that. If you theater shame someone, it's like saying, you have to slap yourself on the wrist. Well, I thought it was. I thought it was supposed to be one of those

in a very sartre way, you know, like no exit. I mean, that makes sense because it, it, and it's maybe purgatory. is more what people say about the day. That's what the play feels like. Okay. And to watch it feels that way.

Yes. And that makes sense. That makes sense. You're in this waiting. You're in this place of waiting and like, eventually this will be over. Yes. Just like purgatory.

And then one other guy comes out and does like one monologue and then he leaves. Yeah. No, really? There's another person in the play, but people always forget that. I feel like I saw this. I think his name is, and I'm going to be very, very, very wrong. I have a bit. talking into a microphone for a couple months now.

And we all know that my mouth has to warm up to the podcast. Absolutely. And my brain has to catch up to the podcast. Because it's a different, you have different. Peripause or like I like to call it Feminine and Overdrive. You have different sort of tools for each way that you perform. Yes. And so microphone performing is different than theater performing.

And I've been doing like a deep, deeply intense Shakespeare workshop. And so that's why. Really? Yes. So that's why it's my mouth is a little bit. I have to get my mouth around the world. words. Let's put a pin in that for a moment because I do want to hear about it. But what is the name of this waiting for Godot character?

Poncho? I'm pretty sure it is. Sure. I could be wrong. Pancho and what are the other guys? It's a really big swing to be wrong and say it's Ponto. Because it's just, you know. Well, it's not like it's Jake. You know what I mean? I know it's something like that. No, I think it's poncho. Pancho. And what are the other guys names? Oh. Bilbo. No. Doorstop. I feel like it's one of those things where I could have told you if you had not asked me. that's my way of turning my my bad memory back on TV you see it's your fault people say that all the time if you hadn't asked me I would have known well how can I prove that how can I prove that I don't know that's a phrase I've ever heard before really oh it's a real emotion I would have known it's like

the name was on the tip of my tongue and I was about to say it and then when someone puts you on the spot you can't you can't think your thoughts run away I get that I get that feeling one time I a friend of mine told me this story that uh dodo I think that's one of the names Didi. Didi. It can't be DED. I think it is. It's not Dedy.

There's no way to find this out. Kiki. Okay. Keep going. Keep going. Beth. Beth and Poncho. My friend, he and his cousins,

were playing trivial pursuit when it was a new game. Okay. And so he was a young boy. And so the big, rowdy group of people, and they're all playing around a big table. and his one cousin after the answer had been revealed said, I was going to think that next. In all sincerity.

I was going to think that next. I like that. See, that's how I felt. I was going to think that next. Now here it says Estragon, which I forgot was the name of one of the characters. Estragon. Yes, and Vladimir. But I do think that they're short until like Didi and Gogo.

I'm not kidding. I think it's something like that. In the script, at least. I think they are you telling you these characters? they have proper names and then they also have nicknames. I could swear that they do, but I'm not going to wait. Are both ever said or is it just like that's in the script? I have a memory of drama school of reading it and it's shortened to two nicknames.

But I'm not going to waste our listeners time looking that up. Someone is screaming. You're not going to waste their time like Beckett is wasting our time. And screaming it. Stop screaming. Stop screaming. You're scaring your dogs. Your dog looks to you for protection and to protect you.

So, okay. Now, when we, we, it's been a minute, Burns. So the last time we were speaking was that you had spent Christmas Eve on the top of the devil's, what's it called? Devils Tower in Wyoming. Now, with Gabby and our family. Before we get into that, I do feel like we left four or five dangling threads. Did we?

From just now. We did. What are they? Well, what are you, what's your intensive Shakespeare workshop? Oh, well. Why did we start talking about waiting for good dough? Because I, uh, we were talking about frog and And toad. That's why. Frog and Toad. See, I took care of it. We came back. Everything's fine.

And you think frog and Toad might be dead. Season 10 is still successful. That's right. That's right. We're on track. We're on track. We're doing it. We're right where we need to be. You're the one who has the problem. That's what I say to the listener. No, let's not say that to the listeners right away. This is not a good way to start. People are very excited for it to start. I think we have a few. Doug. Doug has a bunch of fans. By the way, hey Doug. Doug. How are you doing? My husband and everyone in a different room. Hello. Happy screw. Doug, we don't say that anymore. Everybody got in trouble. There were cards. There was screw day. It was a different time.

We celebrated screw day. And it got very inappropriate. Of course it did. What did they think was going to happen? Nobody made it into work. And if they did, it wasn't good. And people, the way people explained it to their kids was criminal. So crazy.

So crazy. You don't, the kids don't need to know the absolute truth of everything. That's right. You know, there's plenty of time. Absolutely. Yeah, so, babe, we're not going to say Screw Day, but happy day to you. Well, it's the 10. Yes, it is.

It is. It's the 10 season. It's the 10th season. What are we calling it? The 10th anniversary. Oh, I think we were talking about this before. I know Ken came up. Season Ben.

Season Sven is good. Season. I said Ben. I heard you, Ben. I just want to make sure that registered. No, no, we heard it. I think it registered as much as it could have. which is why it didn't feel like a lot.

Agreed. Yeah. Well, we'll think about it. It is difficult, though, because Doug is in another room, and I understand that sometimes he needs verbal,

you know, like sort of an airline. What now? Flight attendant. Flight attendant style. He needs a verbal confirmation. Oh, he always needs that in person or not. I should have a button to, you know, call you.

Oh, you wish. Can I say something that? The button. The tone on the airplane can either be so pleasant. Yes. Or horrified. Yes. There's no in between.

There's no in between that. If it's up too loud. Very good face. If it's up too loud. I imagine that your face looked really long and round when you did that sound. Why don't they do on the airplane? Why don't they? Both.

Like your face was long and your mouth was round. Yes. Face was long. I know what I said. Go ahead. I know what I said and I said what I said. Why don't they do a sound check on the airplane before the passengers get on? Oh, that's a good idea.

They know if it's too loud. They sure do. And also, or too low. Sometimes when it is too loud. That got done because he's a sound guy. Of course. It's how long it'd it take? Two seconds.

Yeah. And here's the thing. What are all the sounds you need to run through? Another thing is. And the speaker. And the speaker, yes. For when the captain gets on there. Another thing is when it is too loud, they don't do anything about it.

That's the volume for this flight. That's all they do. And you can't even understand them. I think they don't know how to use a mic properly. You know, most people who do not use a mic normally, they do not know how to use it properly. So I think they have to put it inside of their mouth. But these pilots, they do.

Oh, or this. What would you call this? A hand mic. Oh, he can't see me. I'm holding like a, like he would on a CB radio. I thought I always imagine that they were speaking into an intercom on the wall. Isn't that funny? Now, my mind goes to microphone, because I think that'd be more fun.

Good anything, ladies and gentlemen. Wouldn't it be fun if they came out with a wired microphone and just walk down the hall right down the row with it? And it just went a whole way down. You'd be careful not to trip her up. Now, that would be a fun flight. But he was thinking. Does she sing at all or no? She's just.

Okay. She's going to say. And you don't want to have a wireless? Sometimes wireless can interfere with the. That's correct. Wouldn't be foot on a plate. If it's not good in a theater, it's not going to. at a plate. People will be so jealous.

Yes. If you had to turn your phone off and then this flight attendant is walking up and down with a wireless microphone. We'll dry our best on Southwest. Give me your trash. That's all they say. Can you imagine of all you say is trash, trash,

sometimes the way the person says it because it's loud on the plane. All you hear is the part and that's all I hear for 20 minutes. Did you not notice my singing? Yes, I did. I'm sorry. I wanted to surprise. You wanted it to register.

Yes. Because you sang more than one note. I have been taking voice lessons. What? Now, see, for the Shakespeare lesson, sorry, sorry, but it's season 10, I get to swear in the first episode. Doug does not, let me swear. Let me swear as much as you want. But I can swear as much as you want.

I don't know why. Okay, now let, don't take, that takes some away from me. Leave some for me. Oh, is there a certain amount per episode? I think in Doug's head there is. There's a maximum. But, okay, let's forget the Shakespeare thing, which is just me and a guy in a room and he's just very mean to me about my monologue. I went to adjust glasses that were not on my first.

Yes, I saw that app, but I didn't know what was going on. Tell me about your voice lessons. I started. Are you going to Trudy? I am going to Trudy. This is amazing. I didn't want to suggest it. And I ran into her at Dickies, the supermarket.

Okay. And I was humming. Oh. And she said, what's that racket? She's so less she has one volume. She came from the next aisle over. Of course. I was in Frozen.

in foods and she was in combustibles. And she came around the corner. She came around the corner. Dickies has everything. Dickies has it. But it's all edible. It's all edible. So these are combustibles is an aisle where you can either eat these things or you can just burn

them up. That's right. You can start a fire with them. They're not that tasty. They're not, but they say Dickies isn't pickies. That's correct. That's their guarantee. And Trudy came around the corner saying you sir were you making that noise and i said well yes i was i was trying to hum and she said uh-uh oh wow you're coming to my studio 10 a m monday morning it's a big deal

it's a big deal i was ordered it was more than invited it was ordered yes yes and i said i don't know if i can afford voice lesson she said we'll figure something out oh god bless her payment plan What's that? Payment plan installments. Payment plan. Payment plan. Payment plan.

You better watch out. Trudy's going to come for you next. Oh, no. So I've been seeing her for a month and a half now. Oh, wow. And it's really had such a wonderful effect on my ability to sing more than two notes. This is just so exciting. Could you please maybe give me a little bit more than,

or just even sing a snippet of what you've been working on with. Absolutely. Okay. So we start with, of course, Hot Cross buns. Of course. It's what she always, honestly, she lives and dies by it. She swears by it. Because it's an easy one for me to start with, you know, because it's got three notes.

Yes. It's very easy to learn. Yes. Hot Cross buns. She has you do that. She has you go into a laugh because it opens up your larynx. So that's good. You're doing the technique.

And to not take it too seriously. Yes, yes, yes. She's the one who takes it seriously. So I can laugh. But then when I laugh, she scolds me. She does. She does. I got to have one lesson with her.

And I remember. She says, I don't want you to take this too seriously. That's up to me. I'll take it seriously. Yeah, that's my job. I didn't know what that meant until she instructed me to laugh and then immediately scolded before it. And I was like, I don't.

It makes you sing better. Okay, so give us to give it to us again. One more time. Heart cross boards. One a penny to a penny to a petty. Cross She always gives someone a character

to think of when they're singing Because you sound like a different person But that's okay Who are you thinking of Who's your character? I was thinking Now this is obscure Of course it has to be

She demands it She demands it And you have to think of it right there She may Are you familiar with This It's this weird movie where these two dogs fall in love with each other.

Oh, this is obscure. Are you talking about, wait, lady and the tramp? Oh, my God. Have you seen it? Wait a minute, Bert. That's not obscure. Okay, so then who are you from that obscure movie? Well, the waiter.

See, I can't even place them. Well, they're having dinner. I know that. In an alley. Yes. Oh, you're talking about the one who sings to them. Yes. Okay, see, I guess I'm thinking of him speaking.

And that never happens, right? Or does it? I think he does speak. So you're just singing like him? Yes, because. But he also sings. No, but I just said you're singing like him and he also sings. What's wrong?

What's happening? John, I don't want to start the season this way. I don't either. What's happening? I don't know what's happening. Could someone tell me what's happening? I feel like you're, Doug say out of this one. You can't do that.

He's in my house. Doug getting to do it if you want to. He's not the same room. If you were in the same room, Doug, I can't actually say. Let's take a break. Thank you for sticking up for me. You're welcome, babe. What?

Why did you say Joe? Did you say call me Joan? Did you call me Joan? What? Did you say Joan? Your name is Joan, right? Yes. You just normally say babe.

Yeah. Wow, that scrambled my head. Me too. What room are you in, guys? What room are you in? Oh, I'm in the high five room. I'm building my hi-fi system. Building your high-fi system.

Yeah. What did you find a Playboy magazine from 1978? Gave you some advice. No, they've come a long way since then. But they're so called high fives. Sure. It stands for higher, higher, fire? Fire.

Because you want to increase the fire of your sound system. So what does it look like? What's going to be in there just a much of speakers or what? No, I'm modeling it. I spent a lot of money on this and we'll make it back, I promise. Okay. All right. Go on.

I think people will come from around the world to see. Like it's field of dreams. Yeah. People will come from around the world to see it. Yeah. Do you want to invite that into your life? Yeah, I don't want that. You just want a string of cards.

At least a baseball field was outside. Exactly. You could go home. These speakers are they're in the shape of a human mouth. I don't like the sound of that at all, Doug. Because it's the most ideal. That sounds terrifying. The most ideal way to hear a guitar.

Amplification system. In the mouth. The human mouth is the most ideal amplification. Why do we need microphones then? They used to not. They used to not. Norman didn't use one. Well, then why did they start?

What is the microphone picking up? The microphone should be shaped like the human ear. Oh, I'm not even sure I get that. So not the speaker. The microphone should be shaped like a human ear. The speaker ought to be a mouse. The microphone ought to be an ear. So with your mouth, you speak into an ear that then goes out.

out through another mouth. Yes. You know what? Joan, it makes sense. It's making sense. I get it now. Well,

I'm glad that someone's making sense since I was not making sense and I apologize for that. I've been looking up a lot of videos about the most expensive high finance. Why does that be the most expensive, baby? We already have so many rooms.

There's certain things you can only hear on a system like this. Okay. Such as? That's such a. Okay. Such as. I'm going to play you a sample.

But you're not going to hear it properly because you're not in the rip. Okay. All right. Okay. I'm not listening through a big mouth. That's right. Oh, that does sound loud. Is that not it?

Oh, you don't have your headphones on burnt. He stood six foot six weight two forty five on a broad at the shoulder and barrow with the hip. And everybody knew you didn't give no lip to Big John. Big John. Oh, that is a good song. Oh, what is that like a college acopella? Group doing the harmony? Yes, Byrd.

I remember that. And so with this magnificent hi-fi system, that's what you're listening to? Yeah, that's all I'm listening to. That's it. Just that one song? I don't know that people come from around the world to hear a repeated track. This is a real thing. For you.

Big John. You want to know. Big John listening. Big John listening. Big John. The big John. Parties are a big thing. You can only properly hear Big John on these systems.

Honestly, Joan, that makes as much sense to me as people coming from all over to see that fucking homemade baseball field. Not that many people would be showing up there. Ray Leota. Ray Leota would get them there. That's what got them. Because what the idea was, hey, ghost play baseball here. He was Joe Jackson, if you remember. They never mentioned to, like, it's just understood people are coming because they know ghosts play baseball.

They will come and they won't even know why. That's what they'll say. So it is as if they're possessed. I know it is terrible. Wait, I don't remember him saying that. He does. At the end, he goes, people will come, Ray. People will come. If you build it, they will come and they won't even know what. Nope. That's a voice he hears in the beginning. And he doesn't realize. Spoiler alert. Sorry for everybody who hasn't seen it. Sorry. And that and lady and the lady in the tramp. Spoiler alert. He builds it. He has a game of catch with it. I'm sorry. He has a game of catch with him. Talk about a movie that's just nothing but vibes. That's not. That's not. But in the end, that's when James O'Don says it's okay. People will come rain and they won't even know why.

And you would say, that's fine. You can look around. Just charge. You can have $5. That's right. I've seen it many times. It's not technically a good movie. I disagree.

Do you think the umps can? I'm the guy on the subway with his little metric car going 100% hard disagree. That guy. That guy. Does he ever 100% agree? He does. Okay. I have seen him 100% agree.

I happen that often. But also, I mix it up sometimes. I 50% agree. I know. I'm 79% agree. Say, I see your point, but... And you know, the twins were trying to do this, but then they couldn't, like, do the math, you know,

because one was playing the one person and then the other one was playing the interviewer. Right. So he'd be like, I 79% disagree. He's like, well, then I... Oh, they made a like a negotiation. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right, but it fell apart terribly.

Like they were haggling. Yes, because they're trying to find their next project. I'm talking, of course, about my boys, my twin boys, Matt, and... Clambake Slim. And Clambake Slim. Why did I name is such a hard name? I can never say it. I don't know.

Well, I call him slim. I call him slimmer clam. Absolutely. Get that bake out of there. I mean, it's his middle name. His name is clam. Oh, I didn't realize there was a space. People always get it wrong.

They always get it wrong. Wow. Yes. It's because my great, great grandfather was named bake. And his wife was named Clam. She was. Oh, great, great, I'm a clam. That used to be a very common name for a girl.

It was such a common. In class. like clam r, clam B, clam L. Here. Thank you for closing the loop. You're welcome. Doug, how long are we been recording? Well, I was going to...

Okay, all right. I had one other thing to talk about. Please. And I had one question. Well, it's been the first episode. So it always takes a second to catch everyone up. It's true. It's true.

What do you say, babe? I just had one question. Okay. Do you think the umps also showed up through the cornfield? Yes. Yes. Because there was. There was one.

Have you not, Babe, you've seen it. You cry about the ending. I'm always filled with tears. He is filled with tears from top to bottom. His entire body looks like he's crying. Every gland.

Yes, there is an umpire. There is an umpire. All I was going to say is they've moved on from their prank show. It never worked. They couldn't get the prank your parents show to take off. They couldn't get Mr. Doubtfire is not going to happen anymore.

They wrote Mr. Doubtfire from me as a gender switching role. Do they still have a deal with the chick-filings? network? I don't believe they do. No, I'm pretty sure that they got their, they're prank scripted back and turn around. Oh, no. They're in development hell. So sad. But here's the problem. So, so there were two things that were playing all the time

this past couple of months in my house. It was sinners and he did rivalry. Now they were watching sinners. I was watching heated rivalry. Have you seen this movie? Have you seen this series? It's not a movie. I watched the first episode. Cabby and I watched the first episode of Revalry and we thought, oh, we've aged out of this show. But then we have since talked to someone else who said,

no, no, no, there's actually a story that develops. You know what there actually is? And to be honest, there's a gay couple that's more interesting than that gay couple, if you can believe it. And the second they came on screen, I was more interested in them because I have to say, the butts are great, okay? I'm not, sorry, babe, sorry about it,

but the butts are just, they're great. You're telling you. You won't, she sends me to sleep over at Tonil's house when she wants to watch Reheated rivalry. Yes. When I watch it again, I call it reheated. And it's just as good the second time around. It's like leftovers.

Sometimes even better than the next day. Yeah, he says it's better than next day. Sometimes good cold, to be honest. In the morning. So it makes it sound like I've watched it a lot more than that. I haven't really. It's just that the first, and that's the voice I might have to do throughout the season. Hollander.

Because that's all he ever says. what do you want hollander it's all he says hollander sorry this is not me swearing this is a quote okay but that's all they say it just makes me think wow is this what maybe two gay jocks sound like because if we know we put two men together there's no conversation no one talks about their feelings

it's like just fuck you hollander hug you fuck you fuck you I know what there was a hug you was that to please Doug you can't call her on that one she's used to me saying that that's true he says hug you because he doesn't want to swear around the house

anyways I was telling the boys about this, but then they wanted to tell me about sinners. And because they've been working on pitching new things, they've learned that what you have to do to pitch something is to say it's blank meets blank, right? It's 30 Rock meets Tron. No, thank you.

Let me say no thank you to that one. I'd watch that. 30 Rock meets Tron. I'd watch that. Okay. So what they've been trying to come up with is sinners? You can send me to Tony O'Neill's house when you're watching. What they come up with his?

Sinners meets heated rivalry. Now, what does that mean? What will that mean? Twilight? They haven't come up with it yet. that's a good guess oh it's interview with a vampire now see that one I've never seen

okay now I haven't these these books uh it's and rights I know that and rice and rice um it's these two vampires

and they have a relationship and they but they you know it's not an easy relationship between uh lestaa and louis they have problems okay and now if you've ever seen the movie. Have you ever seen the movie interview

with the vampire? You haven't seen the series. I haven't seen the movie either. I see none of it, burnt. Here's an interesting thing about interview with the vampire of the movie. And we'll find out how long we've been recording in a second. Is that it stars two of the biggest

film stars of the past 100 years. Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise. They are routinely out-acted by a child. named Kirsten Dunds.

Yes, that's right. I heard she was amazing. Who are the biggest film stars in the 100 years before the last of the years? Al Jolson. Dense. And Mary Pickford.

Okay, Doug. Okay. As and Asher. Guys, let's not get any. Let's keep it. Let's keep it happy. Let's keep it light. Don't worry.

Be happy. All right. Should we ask a long we've been recording? Yeah. 28 minutes. It's not that bad. It's not that bad.

It's been longer. It's been longer. But we should stop. But we should take a break. Absolutely. All right. We will leave those threads where they are. And when we return, we will have a guest right here on season 10 premiere of the neighborhood listen.

Nicole. This time of year, it always makes me rethink what's in my closet. I hear you. Oh, wake up, wake up. Stay awake. No, no, no, I was just sighing. Okay, all right. I'm trying to keep fewer things, but better ones.

Pieces that are well made and easy to wear all the time. Well, I mean, I can help you with that. You don't have to be sad about it. How? Quince. What? Quince. Oh, come on. You remember Quince, the fabrics that feel elevated, the fits that are thoughtful,

and the pricing that actually makes sense? Of course I do, because Quince makes high quality everyday essentials using premium materials like 100% European linen and they're insanely soft, flown at our activewear fabric. That's right. and their men's linen pants and their shirts are lightweight and breathable and comfortable. And their flownet active wear is moisture wicking. That's one of my favorite words.

Wicking. Moister wicking, anti-oder and soft enough that you will actually want to wear it all day. Holy moor. In fact, I dare you to. You know what? Challenge accepted. You know what I think about Quince? And I'm so glad you reminded me of them.

The best part is that their prices are 50 to 60% less than similar brands. How? I'm glad you asked. Thank you. Vince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middleman. So you're paying for quality, not brand markup, like you have been paying for, by the way. Everything is designed to last and make getting dressed easy. And I have to tell you, I have a six-year-old boy, and I bought him two of the pairs of joggers that Quinn sells for children.

And I bought them from two years ago. And he has run holes through every knee on every single pants. All the knees have holes in them except for those pairs of pants from Quince. and that, I don't know, if you want proof of well-made clothing, I don't know what is a better testament than that. That is the four-year-old boy who runs around a lot, couldn't ruin them. And I bought them again for him in the bigger size. He loves them.

They're so comfortable. I want them myself. Let me tell you something. I've seen this kid run around. He's murder on pants. Refresh your wardrobe with Quince. Go to quince.com slash TNL for free shipping and 365-day returns. It's now available in Canada, too.

It's a little beat-up looking. I had it listed at $100. As you can see, I put a line through that. It's now 20. Because I got to get rid of this. If you'll look closely, this cat, y'all, this cat looks like John Voight. And it is so upsetting. I don't care for John Voight.

I mean, I don't care if you do. And if you do, come get this cat. Because it's as if he said, huh, John Voight, but make it cat. You know, like the kids love to say. It's like that. And I can't look at any anymore. I can't have it anymore. I,

maybe it's the son that did this Tim because he didn't look like John Boyt when I bought him. But every day, more and more he looks like him. So please come get this John Boyd cat. And honestly, I'll just give it to you for free. Thank you. Yeah. Welcome back to The Neighborhood Listen.

E-Hah! Did it sound like a sort of cowboy? Yeah. I picked you on a, on a horse with a cowboy hat. You look good with the cowboy hat. Well, thank you. Yeah, I think you look really good. I've never worn a hat.

Really? Yes, I don't feel, I don't feel like I have a hat face. Oh, I think you do. Really? Really? Mm-hmm. No, it's a good head for hat. Well, hat head is bad, right?

No, hat hair is bad. Had hair. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I, uh, what was I going to say? Ye-ha. I'm sorry. Oh, well, can I just say that for sure?

Oh, cowboy hat. Oh, cowboy hat. Mm-hmm. Do you know what it is in French? I don't. Chappellio de Cowboy I'm so sorry Did you say Royale?

Pol fiction. Royal with hat. Royall with hat. It's very good. Very good, Doug. Very good. What was the real answer? It doesn't matter.

No, don't shut down. I'm not shutting down. Real with hat is good. By the way, I did look it up and Vladimir and Estragon in wait if you go do refer to themselves as D.D. and Gogo. And that felt crazy to guess that it was D-D-D, but it was correct.

D-D comes from Vladimir and Gogo comes from Estreg-G-G-Gone. I wouldn't think that Estragon would be, the nickname would be, oh, Gogo, you know? No. I wouldn't think D-D. for Vladimir either. Fair enough. All right. So we have a post. Isn't that weird to think of Dracula's first name as D-D-D?

No way. You may hold me, D-D-D-D-D. Oh, D-D-D-D-D. All right, we have a guest here, our first guest of the season. Now, what we do every week here on The Neighborhood Listeners, become the Neighborhap, the social networking application for neighborhoods. And we look for interesting people to talk to, some neighbors whose messages may be, need to be amplified or maybe they have to answer for something.

That's happened too. And this week is no different. We have one submitted by a listener. If you see one that perhaps you think we've missed, want to screenshot it and send it to us at Bert and Joan at Gmail.com. This comes to us from a listener, Sam Dano. Thank you, Sam Dano, or perhaps Sam, no, sorry. It was abbreviated by the preview, Dan Giordano.

Okay. Definitely, I'm going to get one of that way. Dan Jordano. Neither Sam nor Dano, but Dan Jordano. Thank you, Dan, for submitting this. This is in the recommendation section, and this is posted by someone named Emily. Emily writes, okay, this is a tough one,

and hoping NeighborHap comes through for us. So we just bought our house about a month ago, and it had been lived in for over 25 years before us, so it hasn't been vacant. There is this subtle bad smell on the main level. It's a rancher. It's not in the bedrooms or basement. It's really hard to explain, but it's obvious enough to be unpleasant. Because the smell is sore to pinpoint or even explain. I'm hoping someone could share what kind of specialist slash professional they think I should contact in order to even start somewhere with figuring this.

out, if this was your house, who would you think to call to say, oh, I see. I thought it was. You thought this was a threat to the person who lived there previously. Yes, yes. Well, I would understand that. This is a call for compassion. Okay.

If this was your house, who would you think to call to say, quote, hey, we need you to come smell this smell and tell us what's causing it, end quote. L.O.L. Anyway, thanks in advance for any thoughts. And here now to speak further on this matter is Emily. Emily, welcome to the neighborhood listener. Oh my gosh, thank you so much for having me. Oh, our pleasure.

First of all, sorry for the trouble with this house. What is that smell? Well, we don't know. Here's my question. If I could, I mean, I am a realtor. And I want to know if when you first were looking at this house, did you notice a smell? Right. Great question, Joan.

Thank you. This was number one at the top of my list to ask. Right? Well, now, Joan, I regret not using you as a realtor. Well, I do appreciate that. and you are forgiven. Well, we walked into the house when we went to go view it the first time. And we looked at it many times.

Yeah. How many times total? I would say 18. That's a lot of times to look at one house. I will say, I'm impressed at your realtor let you do that. We weren't sure. 18 times. 18.

Now, Joan, as a realtor, how many times would someone request to look at the same house before you said, hey, you can't keep doing it? I mean, I really said the deal's not alive if it's over five. That's what I always say. Over five viewings, that's how you remember it. Because, you know, at that point, you know. You either know you don't know or at that point, I didn't know.

I didn't know. Also, I did have a couple that wanted multiple times to come see it. And I realized what they were doing was just having sex in every different room in the house. Oh, okay. I didn't even think of that. I have to just end this. I didn't even think of that. Well, I don't think most people would.

You didn't think to have sex in every room of the house? I still haven't even. thought of it. This is a new idea. So she seems so upset about it. It does occur to a lot of people after they have the house. Fair enough. Let's have sex in every room. So 18 times. So the first I went and looked,

they had, you know, they baked cookies. Old trick. Old trick. Old trick. They baked cookies. It smelled like baked cookies and it's that they were good. Okay. And so I said, okay, well, the house smells like cookies. Then the next

time that... So you registered the smell at the time. No, it smells like, no, it wasn't this smell. Emily, you're going to have to let me finish my sense. No, I can't. Emily. I need help. You can't. Okay, Burnt is trying to help you.

Okay, go ahead, Bert. So you did register the smell of delicious baked cookies. Yes, and that was all I could smell. But as I stepped out over the threshold, I did get a little whiff of something. And I thought, that's strange. But then back to cookies. Oh, back to cookies, even out to the coffee. On the way to the car

Because I think the exhaust fan of it's on You know over the oven and it's blowing it into the driveway Like when you're swimming in the ocean or a lake And you get to a hit a warm spot It's weird and then you hit a cold spot And it's like why out of nowhere? Yeah, it's pee. In the ocean?

Yes, it's everyone peeing around you And turtles peeing and fish pee. It's all peeing. Probably turtles of fish. The turtle pee is cold. The fish pee is hot. You know. And that's how we get along.

So there's a lot of things. So the second time I looked at the house. We've got 16 to go. We do, I think, for to help properly with this problem. For brevity. We're going to, no, no, no. We haven't described. We haven't demonstrated brevity ourselves in the first half.

All 18 times. Yep, let's do it. Yeah. Okay. So the second time I went to go see the house, there was a lovely Yankee candle. Oh, okay. Right in the middle of it. the room. It was lavender lemonade.

Lavender lemonade. Okay. I mean, who wouldn't love that? Is that scent a lemonade that's made with lavender? Or it's just, here's the smell of lemonade and here's the smell of lavender and we're just going to smash them together. I think it's a bit of both. Wow. I think it's an infused lemonade. You know, it's like when you go to a spa, there's like, you know, leaves in the water.

So I said, this is relaxing. when I walked in and I looked it at that time. Right. And that's all I could smell. Okay. Is this you? Sorry, did you say you had a partner? I do. Your husband did you say?

I have one, yes. Okay, great. And what's his name? Danny. Okay, Danny. And is Danny with you on all of these so far? Danny's with me on both of these so far. And what did Danny smell?

Nothing. Well, I guess that's just that. Both times. He didn't smell a thing. He couldn't even smell the cookies. No, he didn't say anything. I didn't say anything. That's more just like, that's a, that's very similar.

A man walking through an open house, he knows he lets the wife be in charge most of the time. Even I said, those cookies smelled good. He didn't respond. Huh. Didn't respond at all. Maybe that speaks to a different problem. That's typical for Danny. Okay.

Does he not like cookies? I think he. I think he doesn't. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. I think he doesn't. Emily.

Oh, no. I think he doesn't like me. Oh, my God. I didn't mean for you to make this turn. I'm so sorry. Oh, gosh. So the third time I looked at that out. She's just going to push through.

The people who live there, you know, they live there for 25 years. They've raised their family. You know, now they're empty nesters. You know, their kids are off to college. So they don't need a house this big, even though it is just a rancher. Right. So, but the basement's redone. I've never referred to it as a rancher.

A rancher? It's fun. Yeah. I mean, I usually just say ranch style home. But rancher is kind of fun. I might start using that. They did have a dog, the people. So the dog.

The dog. Okay. You know, they weren't expecting. Good rephrase. They weren't expecting anyone to come because. She's got her Yoda translator. There wasn't, they weren't expecting anyone to come. Oh, wait a second.

Then this makes it sound like. Because this wasn't an open house. So is this the third time you're talking about? A coppin. It wasn't an open house. A bit of a poppin. That's, this is. This is, I think.

That sounds like we're of a break in then a pop-in. Were they selling the house? Yes. We bought it. Oh, we bought it. Right. I know you bought the house. But you did go there 18 times before buying the house.

Yeah. So were they initially selling the house or did you eventually get them to the point of selling house? No, the first time was an open house. Okay. Okay. The second time was an open house. Okay. The third time was a pop-in.

Can you walk me through the pop-in? The pop-in was, hello? Okay. Do you mind if I just pop in? Okay. And what did this person, who answered the door? Oh, the husband. All right.

And he said, sure, I don't mind. Okay. Pretty good impression. Really good. And I'm, yeah, this is, you're a great storyteller. Thank you. Danny doesn't think so. Oh, no.

And how would Danny say that? How would Danny say he didn't think it was a good storyteller? Yes, because you're so good of characters. He would say, Mm. Joan, you got to know, Oh, wow, that was really good. I feel like I understand.

Yeah. So when I walked into the home, the owner said, never mind the dog poop. The dog made a mess. I'm sorry. So what are we talking? Was it everywhere? No, no, no, no. Just a pile.

Oh, but just a pile. It had a very strong holder. Just a pile. It had a very strong horse. Of course it did. It was dog shit. Right. Uh-huh.

So that was number three. Okay. Number four. they were having a dinner party. Oh, dear. This sounds like another poppin. Yeah. Definitely a poppin.

I saw a lot of cars in the driveway. I said, what the heck? Wow, that's interesting. What the heck? You saw a lot of cars in the driveway. He said, what the heck? You didn't keep driving. I said, I'm still not sure about this house.

You know? Now, what, I have to talk to you. So I said I want to go. Pause. I have to talk. by the thought press, the thought between the third and the fourth

because did you want to come back and follow up that there was no more poop because that's what I would have downed. I've been like, I want to make sure this isn't a normal thing because otherwise there will be probably a mess I'm left with if I purchase this house.

Oh, it's funny. I forgot about the poop. You did? Yeah, I saw the cars that parked in the dress. I'd never forget about that. I know. She saw the car, she was excited about the party.

So what happened? They were, they made a turkey for everybody. For everybody. It was... Classic turkey dinner party. The third Thursday of November. Oh, so it's Thanksgiving.

I was imagining everyone got their own personal turkey. So there was a smell of, you know, turkey stuffing things in the air. That's a good idea, babe. I'm trying to think now... Who's that? What was that? I'm so sorry, Emily. Don't be scared, Emily.

That's my husband, Doug. He's our engineer. He's in a different room. Say hi, Doug. Hi. Oh, my gosh. I was startled. I just see I just

Something I do want to say is not only are there smells that come with the house which I can't pinpoint now I'd love to describe them to you know at some point when we get through my visits I want you to there's also noises and visions and just different things that I see

okay now and smell and here so the fifth time I went to to the house. It was, this was more of I stuck my head in the window. So I wouldn't say, I wouldn't say it was a poppin.

It's a sticking. It was a stick in. I stuck my head through the window. I stuck my head through the window. Took a peek around. And that time, there had been a storm. You remember the big storm?

Oh, my God. Yes, absolutely. So you remember the big storm. The house were only just now recovering, I think. The house was. flooded with mud. Yeah. Smelled of mud.

Smelled of mud. Smelled of mud. Okay. Nothing. Nothing. So we've gone from cookies to dog poop to mud. I just want to take a pause here at this moment. And Sam,

very torn between continuing with the remaining visits, which we're still not in double digits yet. Nope. We really have to keep going. And fast forwarding to the visions and sounds of the current house. Yeah, there's so much to cover. Yeah.

Okay. You know what? Is there like a part we can do like six or nine, six or ten? Hey, how could I do this like this? You yell at a number. I tell you the smell and then we're done. Love it. We can get through.

We can. 11. Film developer. Oh, wow. That's a strong smell. Oh, we're at the smell now. Yeah. That was at visit number nine.

What did you think? I thought you was describing. I thought you was 11. Sorry. Any number. I missed the part that she was going to do the smell. I thought you were going to do skip to another number and then also tell us a smell from another number. That's what I thought was happening.

I thought she was describing a film developer being in the house. That's what I thought. That's what I want to know. I'm going to go. It's honest answers. I can go. Oh, Doug wants to skip to the end. I want to know how to ask.

Oh, you know what? Because this is because you decided to buy the house. Yeah. I'm curious. find out what made you decide to buy it fabuloso what is that it's a lavender floor cleaner back to lavender back to lavender and they had wiped were they out of the house at this point it was an open house i think this wasn't a pop in a stick in no not a what made it hazy in your recollection hazy the fact that it was it may or may not have been an open house why why is that

blurry for you. Oh yeah, good question. The door was open. Okay. No one was there. Huh. There weren't any of those little sandwich boards that say open house. Right. But the door was open. The door was open. So that makes it an open house.

Yes. I see. Exactly. In the most literal sense. Exactly. Yeah. See, you know. And you walked in and that's what you smelled. Fabuloso. And I said, this is it, honey. This is it. So, okay. And he I'm assuming made only just the minimal sound that he makes

and didn't really care one way or the other. He said, eh. Okay. Wow. How long have you to be married? 18 years. 18.

Isn't that crazy? Oh my gosh. I just thought of something. 18 years. 18 smells. 18 visits. Well, what do you think it means?

I don't know. That's why I'm here, Joe. Okay. Okay. That's why I'm here. I understand. We don't expect you have all the years. I'm begging for help.

I'm begging for help. We've been very efficient and we've gotten to the visits. We've gotten to the end. How long after you move in do you notice a smell? Immediately. Right after the closing, we signed the paper. They handed the keys over. The inspections were done.

Wasn't even mentioned. And the inspections didn't mention a smell. Not that tall. Now, as soon as I walked in, I go, ew. What is that? Danny, do you smell that? Do you smell that? Oh boy.

What does Danny do for a living? He's a contractor. Okay. That's okay. That's fine. I thought there was going to be more. I think she wished there was more. He doesn't really tell me what that is.

Oh. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It sounds like he's not forthcoming with any information for her, which is more with the option. I thought if he's a contractor, he's a builder. He could fix anything, whatever the smell is, you know, but he said he's not that kind of contractor. Oh.

So I don't know. Maybe he writes up contracts. I don't know. I mean, have you tried to press him for details? And what's the response? Have you ever been to an office party or something like that? The response has always been, mm, mm. Can he, can he say words?

I hear him on the phone talking to other people. Okay, what does that sound like? And he also did say I'm not that kind of contractor. I'm sorry. And he did. I've been focusing on the sounds. Well, he didn't exactly say to me I'm not that kind of contractor. when I introduced him to our realtor.

Joan, you don't have to give me one of those looks. It was a real one of those looks. It was a sad and a side nod. Tight smiles and a little curt nod. Whenever I introduce him, I say, you know, this is my husband Danny, Van Elder. He is a contractor. Okay. And then, you know, usually they say, oh, do you do home improvement?

And he just says, not that kind of contractor. And then they say, oh, he won't tell anybody. No, he just. There's not that kind of contractor. But people, there must be follow-up questions. People must say what kind of contractor. I would absolutely. You definitely would.

Oh, you'd, yeah, absolutely. You'd get it out of them. So the 12th time I went to the house, it smelled like when someone peels out. Oh, that's interesting. Oh, that's terrible. I hate that smell. That's one of my least favorites.

You know, I have a fondness for that smell, of course, because I had the nitro burning funny car for so many years. You do. So I do kind of miss it. Oh, dear. Well, I just wouldn't want it in my house. So I'm sorry, this was one of the times you visited. That was one of the times I visited.

I didn't know if we were working that back in. Now, here's what's interesting to me. You've been able to describe, that was great. You've been able to describe what all these different smells were. Yes. But now all of a sudden, you say you can not. Okay, so here's the moment we've all been waiting for. Could you at least try to describe?

I will try. I couldn't even do it. I'll try, I'll try. I mean, it has to. to be some way. Okay. Do you know the smell when a mouse dies in a wall? Unfortunately, yes.

It's a little like that. A little like that. Okay. Not totally like that. And then is there something else in there? Is there a note of something else? Yes, there are notes. There are notes, Joan.

Okay, okay. This is good. Oh, good. Notes. Good. Yes, there are notes. Okay. So that, there's that smell.

But then there, is like a faint smell of Drek-Ar noir. Are you familiar? Well, he is from back in the day, memory serves. Absolutely. So it does have that kind of smell. I love that smell, kind of nostalgic, but also smells like something rotting.

So some clubbing mice came home one night. So, but then that's not all. But then something else rotting in addition to the... Oh, on top of it, like an egg? Well, it's almost like if sewer gas, were being released in your home. Oh, no. Oh, no. So sewer gases.

So not like poop and not like dog poop. Understood. Like the essence of the sewer. Absolutely. Right. So then there's that. There's that. Any lavender?

And then sometimes that, not a lick and boy, I wish. Oh, yeah. It's your favorite. Boy, I wish. I bet. So then that fades. And then I start to get like a Hawaiian punch smell. Weird.

Wait, so they smell sort of, they go and waves. They're like an everlasting copstopper or the meal that Violet Borogart eats. She has five different, three different courses in one. That's a good gumball. You have a third Willy Wonka reference. What? Is there a third Willy Wonka reference or just stop at two? I have more.

A bad egg. Smells like a bad egg too. The nuts, the squirrels? Here we go. The nuts, the squirrels? That could be. So here's, this is. And I'm chasing the smell around.

You know, I'm chasing. It doesn't smell at all. I'm chasing. It doesn't smell in the bedrooms, as I said, in my post. Oh, right. I'm chasing it around the room. It feels like it's moving quickly behind the walls. Do you, do you work yourself?

Do I work? Do you get out of the house? I get out of the house, but I wouldn't say anyone pays me to. You know, I was wondering why she seems so confused at that question. I work. Uh-huh. But then the way she described that, I get it now. Yeah.

So. Have you ever had a job? Well, I've had responsibilities. Okay. That's not what I asked them. Okay. Okay. You have children?

Yes. Oh, no. And how many, how many children do you have? I don't say, oh, no. I couldn't help it. Okay. Three. Oh, wow.

Three, goodness. Three kids. No, but it makes. What are their ages of names? Are you empty nesters? Oh yeah, names and ages first. No, we're not empty nesters. This was my dream home.

Oh, no. Yes. So I have Clive, who's two. Clive. Baby Clive. Baby Clive. I'd nickname him Vevee. Then I have Fonda, who's 12.

Wow. It's Fonda boy or girl? Boy. Okay. Like, you know, I named out. named after Jane Fonda. You're a boy named after Jane Fonda. You know.

Yes, she was the only the most notable one from her family. And then I have a daughter who's 34 and her name is Bernice. Okay. Well, 34 to 2 is a wide gap. Was this all

with Danny, Emily? No, Bernice is from my previous. How old is who? I think you said 13, maybe, 12? 12. Yeah, yeah. Wow.

So you got two, 12 and 34. Yeah. And I'm sorry, what were you going to say? You had Bernice with who? Was Bernice excited to get a baby brother? Okay. We were asking her many questions. That's a good question, but also, so you were in the middle of answering, I think, about

who Bernice's father is. Oh, yes. Bernice's father is my ex-husband. Okay. All right. Is he still in the picture or is he just never come around? He just never comes around. Okay.

All right. It's funny. You put it that way. Well, He just never comes around. It happens. I didn't mean to. He never came around.

Okay. Is he still in Bernice's life? Not that I know of. Wow. But she wouldn't tell me anyway. And she still lives with you. Oh, no. Oh, there's so much more going on here.

She's kind of terrible life. Well, she does live with me. She's taken over the basement. Okay. And she does she smell the smell? Oh, good question. She won't tell me. smell. Boy, no one tells you anything.

No, what about Fonda? Fonda won't tell me if he smells it or not. You've asked Fonda and Fonda will not respond. No, Fonda won't respond either. Sometimes I wonder, am I a ghost? Well, I mean, am I the ghost? Oh, so not only, he doesn't even acknowledge that you ask the question. No.

But Danny, your husband? These grunts may be coincidental. Oh, like a sixth sense. I know, well, you know, what's interesting is what you see me. Yes, we can see you. What I'm wondering is, and it's just maybe just the way that she's described, maybe, you know what, I'm going to ask one more question. I'm going to reserve this opinion for later. Okay.

Can we hear about some of the noises? Yes. Oh, I forgot about the noises. Yes. Yes. I love. Okay. You love the questions?

I love. Okay. Okay. So sometimes the noise. the noise is like, ah! Okay, that's a scream. Right.

I would have said I hear screams sometimes. So that's one of the noises. I wanted to hear it. Sorry, but I wanted to hear it. No, no, no. I don't mean, I said, I guess, like, when I think of noises, I think of screams as their own category. Oh, I see you.

You know what I mean? Yes, I do. I would have said screams and noises if there are indeed noises that aren't screams. Okay, I'm such an idiot. You're not. You did nothing wrong, Emily. That's me. That's on me.

I apologize. No wonder right, Daniel. You did nothing wrong. You did nothing wrong. I wouldn't say, I would say, I would say,

I would say, but you did nothing wrong and I apologize. Okay, so what's it, what's a different noise? Scurry, scurry, scurry. Scurry. I hate to ask

this question. I know you do, birds. Are you, are you hearing scurrying, or are you hearing the word scurry, scurry, well,

it's both. What? I hear scurry. That's more upsetting. I hear scurry and then I hear like, oh no. Like actual little feet scurrying. It's like someone announcing that they're going to scurry.

Or they're being commanded to scurry? I don't know. Okay, so now I officially have to ask. Can we walk it back to the dinner party pop in? Can you tell me a little bit more about that? What was the nature of the people there? Did they interact with you? Did they talk to you?

Also, it was Thanksgiving. Yes, it was Thanksgiving. They seemed to all be related and they were kind of wondering why I was there. Oh, okay. Do you know what Thanksgiving is, the holiday? Are you familiar? I suppose we should ask that question. I mean, it's a national holiday.

A national. It's been an official national holiday since the 40s. A national holiday. Emily, have your family never celebrated like a holiday? In November? No, but in the 1940s. It was established as a national holiday in the 1940s. Oh, well, that's not that long ago.

I guess was that in question? Have you never had a Thanksgiving? You're saying it's recent enough that not everybody's aware of it. I'm not up on things. Up on things. Understood. Okay, like national holidays. Here, well, I don't know.

How do you get your husband to speak to you? What do you do? Are you pleasant? I'm not, apparently. Well, Emily, I'll tell you what, I'll be very honest and say, I'm not always pleasant and yet my husband still speaks to me. Right, babe? Just said hi.

Oh, no. What was that? Nothing, babe. Have you been listening this entire time? Are you just watching like the visuals of our talking? and then when it stops, you're going to jump in. You're just looking at the waveforms? Yeah.

Sorry, this Big John is just... It's really got you. You're in a Big John loop. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Could I hear a little bit more of that? Oh. Yeah, but you're not going to hear it properly.

Babe, I don't think she cares about that. And I don't have the best Big John machine. That's like $9 million. The best Big John machine. Yes. By it over a Asian queen and a crash and blow from a huge rat. That's part of the sound I hear. What?

I hear that sound too. You hear big going in the house? Bitch, yeah. Wait, with the scurry? That would be terrifying. With the scurry, scurry. With the scurry, scurry. And the, ah!

All layered on top of each other? It comes and goes, and different things fade in and fade out. Help, who do I call? I have two questions for you. One, who was your realtor? Great question, Joan. Oh, I feel like... Obviously, I'm going to know who it is.

Just so don't worry about it. It's a very small community. It's a very small community. Betty Kaiser-Hoff. I knew it. Wow. I knew it. I didn't know she sold a license.

Well, she's not supposed to. Oh, what? What is this? Huh? She sold our city hall. She sold your city hall? She sold our city hall to the, to New Barn. the next neighborhood over and caused so many problems.

That seems unethical. That seems... To the Communist Party of Newborn. Yeah. Wow. And we can't get them out. No. They said this belongs to the people. If I had known that...

They said Betty gave us the greatest deal. I didn't know that. This is news to me. She tried to blacklist all the other realtors. That's right. Ironic. Indeed. What does that mean?

Oh, she's not up on her... That was in the... 60s. So that's going to be really recent. Oh, the 50s. The 50s, I guess. Not that reason, but. Here's the thing. Betty's no good. She also doesn't do her research on a property, as you can tell. And she also

sells properties that shouldn't be sold. And I swear to you, this sounds, and I hate getting I'm usually not like this because, you know, I don't like to talk about stuff like this. But this sounds like a haunted house to me. I think that this house, and you're supposed to disclose if a house is cursed, you are supposed to

just close that. It's in the realtor law. Joan, I have seen you avoid saying that so many times. You've made so many excuses for houses that I thought we're obviously haunted. You say this house is on the spectrum. This house is neurospicy.

Well, now I'm getting answers. You feel like you're getting answers now? I'm getting answers. I'm getting answers. I feel like I'm being listened to and I'm getting answers. So you think a haunting is causing smells?

I absolutely can. It can cause the, it can, listen, I don't like to talk about this stuff because curse and haunted are two different things. Very true. Very true. What am I?

Can be, and that can involve a What am I? We don't know. We're trying to help you, okay? We're trying to just let us. What am I? Emily. What am I?

She's just wandering around my kitchen now. She's just wandering around with her head up, just, just arms out. She's crying out to God. What am I? Emily, Emily, come back and sit down. Come back and sit down. Okay.

You're fine. You're fine. You have a glass of water. Okay. Yeah, water. Oh, it doesn't have a taste. Sorry. Yeah, it's not supposed to.

Oh, it's not supposed to. What does your water at your home taste like? Well, again, difficult to describe. You know, when ice has been in a freezer for too long and absorbed. I actually do. I hate that. It's terrible. Yes, it tastes like that.

But also, that could just be your pipes. You know, when you have a window unit air conditioner, not central air. Yes, right. And then sometimes it freezes over and you open it up and there's dripping coming out. But then you realize that's mold. Yeah. A little bit of that. Right.

Is there anything worse than walking in New York City and you happen to look up and one of those drops comes down and hits you right in the face? Buh. Prepare for death. I think it's good luck. It's a wonderful perspective. I remember one time being on a subway and I saw someone holding onto the pole and then they let go of the pole and wiped the eye. No, no. No.

That person will die soon. What am I? Oh, sorry. What are you? You are a wonderful sweet lady who I don't believe is being listened to by her family. But I also think you're living in a house that is not hospitable. I think it's hostile. Yes.

You are a child of the universe. Yes. And the rest of the desiderata. I don't know what that means. Is it glitterati? No. No. Paparazzi.

Not paparazzi. Illuminati? Not Illuminati. You think it's under warranty. The house? Yes. With Betty, not a chance. We paid extra for the home warranty.

We bought a home warranty. A warranty. A warranty. your problem. W-A-R- dash the letter N-d-T. Oh, that sounds so fake.

It's so fake. That's Betty. Oh, no. Oh, yeah, no. No. No. I did a bad thing. Did she make you a bad thing?

You didn't do a bad thing. Did I do another thing? No, no. Did you make you sign it with your blood? Yes. That's Betty. This is horrible. How did she ever have?

I'm not have? No, you should never sign anything with your own blood. Definitely don't. And in case anyone's listening at home, I'd say that goes for anybody. Yeah, absolutely. This is advice for everyone. Yeah. Don't sign things in your own blood. So, would you say I'm cursed or haunted? I don't think anything's wrong with you.

Are you hearing me? Babe, that's not helping. Doug. I don't think she's obsessed. I don't think there's other categories. You're right. Do you want to know what I see? I'm not. John, what is he just? Oh, the visions. Oh, the visions! You forgot about the visions.

Oh, gosh. Oh, I don't know if I'm ready for the visions. Okay, what were some of the visions? Okay, some of the visions are, um, it's a baby. Oh, nope. But it has the face of an old band. No. No.

But the body of a baby. Oh, this is, it's cursed. And it's not Clive, Benjamin Button. It's not, it's not my dear little Clyde. Dear sweet Clive. So, the baby, it walks up. the wall like perpendicular train spotting style did you ever see when billy ilish was on s and i guess it was a box but it looked like she was walking on the ceiling i saw that yes no it's like that it seems like the whole room's twisting

yeah this is i mean i feel like this sounds textbook at this point this sounds like a haunting you're in a haunted house but then sometimes it's a bunch of monarch butterflies well that's pleasant they've got a sense of humor i guess but then they all engulf me oh and then and then I feel like I'm in a cocoon. Okay. So I guess there are feels too. There's feels. Emily, are, is the rest of the family ever present during these moments?

No, everybody's off doing their own thing. Including Clive? Then you know what? Wait, including Clive? What's Clive up to? He's a daycare. He's at baby music. He's a baby music.

But I don't go. They said I'm not allowed. I can't be there anymore. Why? Why would they say anymore? Why? I don't know what I did. Oh, they must give you a reason.

I don't know what I did. You're his mother. They said they have the right to refuse service to anyone like an airplane. Like an airplane. They're not saying that they'd refuse service to an airplane. But she's saying that much like on an airplane, they can refuse you service. I thought you meant like the movie airplane. We're a private company and we have the right to refuse you service.

What we use airplane is an example for this. Okay. which I usually see it outside of like a 7-Eleven. Yes, I understand. I agree. Are we talking about once you're on the airplane? Yes. And then the plane is and I can say, you know what?

No, I'm not going to get you at Coke. Sometimes when I get kicked off the plane. I have the right. It's usually when I get kicked off the plane. And I say, what have I done? What have you been kicked off a plane? The shoes? Usually I do have shoes on, but sometimes, and this is not my fault.

Okay. You know, you know, sometimes I get lulled to sleep. You know, you're there and you're just kind of waiting for everyone to get on and you hear kind of the noise and the drum of the airplane. And I kind of, you know, doze off. So noisy. The majestic drum of the airplane. And then sometimes I startle my, I startle away.

Oh, no. And scream, we're all going to die. Oh, yeah, you can't. We're all going to die. That is, that is, Emily. That is something you're not allowed to do that. You know what? I am going to have to say that one's on you.

I do think that one's on you. Yeah, you're not allowed to do that. You definitely can't do that. But I have a right. I bought a ticket. Don't I have a right? No. Well, who refunds the ticket that?

She's wandering around the kitchen again. Who am I? What am I rights here? I was hoping I wasn't going to turn on the guest this time. I know. On our very first episode. Okay, Emily, come on back to the table, please. Who's in this room?

That's the bathroom. Hello. You're screaming you to a trash can. Who's in there? Zescro? All right. Emily, I'm going to say, I don't think the house is haunted. I think you are cursed.

I also think you can't be doing that on airplanes. That's wrong. I don't mean to. I know, but you have to do something about that. I think that. What am I supposed to do, not fall asleep? Impossible. Oh, this is like a BAFTA question.

What's the BAFTA question? Let's not get into it. Okay. Emily, I really feel for you, I think you're a sweet lady. I do think you're, I wish I could meet any one of your family members just to sort of get a sense of actually what's going on. Right. Or if they exist. Or if they exist. I have questioned that. I'm getting filled with dread.

Oh, no. Right now. Please don't. I'm being filled with dread. Oh. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. She's, her head is in.

Her head's moving really, really fast. Oh, no. No, no, no. No. No, wow, wrong. Help me. Like, she's in fast forward.

Oh, my. Oh, no. No, no. She has the head of an old man. Oh, not. No, not these sounds. They're a didgeridoo sound. It's not a didgeridoo.

sound. Maybe you should help her. Maybe we should do what that? Help her. What are you supposed to do? You guys were just talking about it. Play big job. Play big job. But it's not going to sound that good because it's not going to put that matter. Hold on. All right. Turn it up. Oh. Oh. Yeah. That's nice. Are we talking to Danny right now? you got Danny

Oh wow This is Danny This is Big Bad John We're traversing Passed a point We never have burnt on this podcast This is never happened before

But I think that Hey Hi Danny How's it going Hey You guys seen my wife around No we haven't Can you tell us about your wife

Actually what do you do for a living day Thank you Contractor And what kind of Not that kind I didn't say what kind What kind of contractor? How kind of contractor are you?

He was right about that. Yeah, because they're the same person. But not to them. They're different people. How much contracting do you do? That's an old contractor joke. I don't get it. But what kind of contracting do you do?

I love it. I do contract. I'm contracted by people. People contract me and they pay me. To do? Contract. We're not going to get anywhere. Okay.

Hey, great town. Love living here. Beautiful, beautiful. Is Clive in there? I think you have to play the song again, babe. My son, Clive? Yeah, your son, five years old. Can we talk to Clive?

My son, Clive, it might be at music class. Oh, gosh, now there's like rippling on her skin. Missy Elliott. Clive? Is that you? Clive isn't talking yet. Sometimes there's a lot of choice. Some two-year-olds have some language. There we go.

That's right. He wants up? Yeah, because the chair is so little. Can you go to Bernice? Yeah, let's go to Bernice. Bernice. Can we have Bernice you there? Please.

Baby, you got to play. What the fuck are you doing in my best man? A 34 year old who talks like that. Bernice, grow up. I have fucking die. Bernice, your mother, Emily, is in trouble. Indeed, really in trouble.

We need to help her. We want to help her, and you love her, right? Oh, God. I guess her whatever. What do you want? I'm busy. We need to talk for a second, Brise. It just occurred to me.

We don't know that Emily is the main personality. Do you know what you mean? I also don't think she has a disorder. I think she's, I think there's like something inside of her. I think this is magic. I think this is dark magic. But we don't know if is Emily the one. What am I?

Is Emily the one being possessed or could it be Bernice or could it be? I think so. What am I? Okay. I do. Because she came to us as Emily and I feel like that's the truest form. Okay. Emily, are you there? Are you back?

My mom's not here. Oh, are you Fonda? Is this Fonda we're talking to? Oh, it's still Bernice. Oh, it's still Bernice. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. We're all going to die!

Oh, no. Emily, Emily, is that you? Is that you? Oh, my gosh. I passed out for a second. I felt like I was on a plane or something. You didn't. What you actually did was you were just almost like possessed by the members of your family. Oh, what? Who do I call for that? I told you. What? Who do I call for that? Help, please.

I mean, we actually do have, I mean, we have possessors row and. Yeah, that's true. And it's just that the problem is they all take a long vacation. They all go to Sicily for. Have you been? You really must go. for the horse for the horse yeah they eat horse they make a trip once a year they take three weeks to go to Sicily

eat horse it tastes like it tastes like deer oh how do you know that horse tastes like deer see all of this is too what this deer tastes like deer tastes like donkey

I feel like we could go keep going on forever once they come back in two weeks I would go down there and I would just find there's about four of them they're all pretty much the same but here's the thing

it is called possessors row half of them are exorcists half of them are people who will try to possess you that's right so you have to be careful well I'm fine with that because I'm not possessed that's fine okay

just go just go talk to them I think I think it's just you know what it's more of just a ruling it out kind of thing okay just rule it out let's just do that yeah I mean Or I can have them come over and tell me what smell they smell.

I don't know that you would invite them into your home. It sounds like it's already pretty crowded in there. So I think the more you stay outside of your home, the better. I wish I met you sooner, Joan. Oh, that's very kind. I'm glad that you were here. I'm glad that you came. I can go fuck myself.

We wish you over. It's not about us. It's about Emily right now. We can't take anything. she says personally. I mean, especially her, because, you know, there's a lot going on in there. Okay. Well, Emily, we wish you best of luck. Thank you.

And I really hope that you get the help you need because I think you deserve to be free of a lot of things going on in your mind. Thank God for you, Joan. Thank God for you. And, Bert. If I could make a recommendation, talk to Tim Coglin. He's a former priest. He doesn't necessarily believe in God anymore.

In fact, he's very angry about it. But top-not. What do you think, Joan? Should I listen? Yeah, they call him the showman exorcist. You know, he does, he's the greatest showman exorcist. Oh, have you seen that movie? Which movie?

The show, great show me? Yeah. Yeah. With you, both. I didn't know they made a greatest showman exorcist, but I bet that would be entertaining. And that's kind of what he is like. I think you'd like him. I think you'd like him.

If you like me, you'll like him. Because I'm an entertainer too. And I like you. I'm so glad that you do. All right. Do you, I mean, I'd say play us out, Doug, but I'm a friend. of what would happen. So I wouldn't do that.

I think we'll just say goodbye to you here now. Okay. Emily, thank you. I'm sorry we couldn't be more help in the immediate. No, Joan, helped a lot. Okay, and so it did burn. All right. We will be back soon when the neighborhood list in returns.

Yeah, this is Tracy. I got wine and beer corks $10. Sort of types and sizes, 80 plus count. Yeah, now you might be saying $10, isn't that a lot for just a bunch of corks? If you need corks, I bet this is a great price. If you don't need corks, yeah, it seems like a lot of money. But look at the picture. It's a bunch of corks.

This is a lot of corks. Different sizes, and I know all you cork freaks out there, this is a bargain for you, I bet. I don't know why people need corks. I don't know why I have 80 of them. Plus. But I do know. I don't want them here anymore. And I know there's some sick corcos out there who are like 80 corks.

Yum, yum, yum. Their mouth is watering. Their eyes are watering. Their nose is running. Come get your corks, little cork pigs. Welcome back to the neighborhood list. Now that, what a way to kick off season, Sven. That was chilling.

It was chilling. Can we get into this? Are we just naming the seasons? No, we're not. It doesn't have to be. Nope. I just had to say something. Well, because I realized, even though it was my suggestion, I realized it's just because it rhymes with 10. There's no sort of. I think that's fun. What's wrong with that?

You know what? Maybe it should be a deeper connection. Okay. What would you suggest, babe? Well, I did suggest Ben, but I'm not married to that. Okay, and why? Why is that a deeper connection, Doug? Let's hear it.

Ben? I'm not suggesting it's a deeper connection, but I'm saying maybe we'll find it. Ben, the two of us need look no more. Listen to you. Listen to you. Could someone explain that movie to me? It's just a rat named Ben, or is it about a boy named Ben with a rat friend? It's a great question.

I think the rat's name is Ben. I think the boy's name is Willard. Okay. Did you ever see it? No. Really? No, I never saw it. They never saw that.

They made a remake. Never saw that either. A remake? Yes. Good Lord. All right. Well, you know what I was thinking? There was Ben and there was Willard, two separate movies.

Oh. And I think was the first one Willard and that's where the song Ben comes from. I don't know. But we're still trying to be a movie podcast, I guess. Well, we could watch Ben. Look, look. Watch a look. Let's just say this.

We don't have to apologize anymore. We're human beings. We don't have to qualify it. They exist. We're allowed to talk about them. We're allowed to talk about anything we want to. Anything we want to. Anything.

Speaking of that, I think I think people should be allowed to say we're all going to die. No, Doug. Why? Why? Why are you? It's just true, right?

No, I know, but not in a situation. You can say philosophically at like a dinner party. Well, we're all going to die. Not on a plane where people are already sometimes scared. Yeah. Why is that different? Well, dinner, that seems like it might spoil someone's dinner. What I mean is friends are around talking about something philosophical and that's when you discuss life and death, not on a plane.

Doug, you're being very uncharitable. It's like yelling fire. You never yell fire in a building. No one does that. You just don't do that. Life is hard enough. I do want to do that. I think about it all this time.

I just want to see what happened. You do? Is this a man thing? Here's the thing. Here's the thing. We've been, we've been, it's been instilled at us that that's the worst possible thing. thing you could do is yell fire in a crowded, you know, theater or something. I want to see what actually would happen if you did that.

I mean, it's my life. It's my boys. Slim yelled fire. That was his first word. Clam, you know what I mean? Clam baked slim. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

That was his first word was fire. No, it was in a hospital. Yeah. You did want to do a natural birth in the theater. I did. I did. I had said I wanted to do it. because I was doing grapes of wrath at the time.

Right. And Rosa Sharon, you know, has a baby. Yeah. And I wanted to, I was like, oh, can't he just come right during the time that I'm actually supposed to give birth? And I tried to time it out, but it didn't work. And now that's why they have that, they built like a sort of cement waiting pool that's in the stage still.

It's still there. My birthing pool is still there. Yes. And they have to make it work for every show. To justify it. A lot of shows have. wishing well. It was hard when they did 12 angry men.

It was hard. Didn't really make any sense. I tried to turn it into like a prison cell or something. Yes. I think I remember the judge saying apologies for the jury room. They even saw the frog pond. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know why. I mean, you could just build over it. I don't know. Be more creative. Put a cover over it. Put a cover over it. You know what I mean?

It's not that hard. Anyway. Stop filling with water. Definitely. I don't know why no one told them to do that. Keep doing it. It could just be empty. All right.

Well, we have time for one more post. And Joan, I understand you have one? I do have one. Now, boy, this community of ours, you know, sometimes I just don't, sometimes I just don't understand. This person is confusing to me. This is from Deanna. Deanna. And she says, I'm looking to hire a new hardworking assistant to help me in support of my work.

I'm a busy person and my current assistant just gave birth a week ago. And hence, I will be needing some one. Nope, nope, I added that. I will be needing some who can help me in posting house for rental and safe, sorry, house for rental and sale or turbo tenant. No work experience needed. Age doesn't capital M matter. And it doesn't affect your current job at any way.

The offer is $500 weekly. You can also send me a text on this number for more details. Nothing about this makes sense. It's all contradictory. To say it's not going to affect your other job in any way is false. First of all. Of course. Let's start there.

Yeah. Second of all, no experience? No experience. She just wants a warm body to show up and help her live her life. She wants somebody to be posting. Yes. Which you would have to tell them what to post. At that point, just post yourself.

That's a work from home situation. You don't even really need someone to do that for you. If that's your main job. Absolutely. It sounds like she just, she sounds lazy. I'm sorry, I'm just going to say it. Wow. I'm saying, I'm going to say it.

Is it because this crosses over into a sort of, it feels like a real estate area? And you feel a little more judgmental than you normally would. I guess it's possible. I mean, I like people who put in the work, you know. I mean, this person probably tries to do like virtual open houses or something, you know. Right. And not get off their feet.

Get on their feet. What's a turbo tenant? I was going to ask you that. Oh, no. Neither of us knows. We don't know what that is. Doug, do you know what a turbo tenant is? No, I'm dying to know.

Should we look it up or did this person make it up? We should look it up. Okay, look it up. Okay. Please, Doug. Please, could you just look it up? do it. Doug,

would you please look it up for us? We do so much. We do so much. We're out here with these crazy people. We're out here in these streets. Turbo tenant. Property management software. 900,000 plus landlords use turbo tenant property management software to screen tenants.

Generate leases and collect rent. All right, Doug. I was at the last one. enough from you, Doug. I was at the last, finishing the last word. It was a word too many, apparently for birds.

You know, TurboTenant really sounds like something from, you know, a post-apocalyptic future movie. Yes. That sounds so cold. Yes. And it's like, well, I have Turbotent

where it's like, you know, you get your apartment from a robot. And, uh, you get your apartment from a robot. What does, I didn't think I'd have to explain my vision. And it has a jack and jail bathroom. Copper plumbing.

There is storage under the stairs. You know it's sad? I don't think robots will sound like that. They should. They already don't. We should make them sound like that. You wish that because that's what we all imagine is when we played with toy. Yes, yes.

I don't want robots to sound like people. Yeah, well, they're going to, and it's terrifying. I mean, don't they already? Okay, Joan. Well, I don't like robots at all. I don't either. I like people. Same.

We all like people, except for Deanna. I do like a robot that is supposed to dance or whatever, and then it gets too close to a table or something and start smashing stuff by accident. Doesn't know what's doing it. That shows how violent they can be. That's terrifying. It's terrifying, but it also is kind of funny.

the people are pulling the robot away like it's drunk. You know, I can't out of the dog robots. They're so disturbing to me. I do not care for them. First of all, we shouldn't be calling them. Yeah, they're terrible. And what if they spoke like people? Please stop kicking me.

Why is everyone always kicking me? Now, if I could give escrow robot voice, I would. I really would. I would love to hear his thoughts. What would you say? Please kill me. I long for death. I forgot who you were 10 years ago.

All right. Listen, Deanna, I think you should just leave people alone. I don't think 500 bucks. And also, she just says 500 weekly, which is not a whole lot. No, it sounds like go over to her house and just live her life for her. And also no experience necessarily. You will have to learn this software. And you're just going to invite with someone with no references, no resume.

You just want anyone to come. You know what? This kind of turns me on landlords a little bit. It's making me not like landlords. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I've never, listen, I,

And I don't really deal with them because I don't even rent out condos or apartments. I only do homes that aren't rental. My experience as a renter with landlords is always that, you know, they're having a tough time. They're having a tough time. They're always so annoyed. It's crazy that they get Lord and their title. It really is. You're right.

Everyone we have. When you think about the tough times they have, because, you know, if something wasn't working in the apartment, I would say, can you fix this? And then they would tell me what a hard time they were having with. this, that, the other thing, and I think, I feel bad. I bother them now. That's not how you should feel. They're doing that to you. No, that's manipulative.

That's manipulative. Anytime they have to raise their rent, I just say, oh, they must be going through something. Exactly. It's like, oh, no. Is there anything? Do you want more? Will you two stop feeling bad for landlords? This is infuriating.

I mean, I assume these guys were, like, struggling. No. And then I hear this, Deanna. who's just saying, I just want to sit around and watch you do this. That's what it is. That is what it is. It's passive income, okay? So just don't feel bad for them, okay?

I'm, you know what? I'm glad we did this post. So am I. It's really changing my opinion on a lot of things. Good. I'm glad it's turning you around. Yeah, yeah. All right.

Well, and I'm sorry you guys had to hear Big Bad John on such a bad system. Babe, again, I know this is going to make you angry, but I can't tell the difference. And I know that's the worst possible thing I could say. Honestly. I wouldn't say that. Honestly, I started to be able to tell the difference. Oh. Well, you haven't joined me in the...

Okay. Why don't we go in there? I was like, I felt like there's something I'm missing. Okay. Let's all go in there. Okay. We're coming down. Wait, is this room upstairs or downstairs?

It's, uh, neither. Wow. Is it in the room with us right now? No, it's, if you're taking the stairs, sure. It's actually there's like a side hatch in the stairs. There's seven flights of stairs in our house. What's a side hatch? It's a hatch like on the side of the stairs.

You open it like it sounds. Zero extra explanation. I'm sorry, but a hatch on the side? How would you describe that? So is the hatch going to move? Wait, I'm so confused. You're just in a hatch. Is this a howl's moving side hatch situation?

Just yell and we'll come towards your voice. Just yell, Doug. All right. Follow the big bad job. Okay. Look at this guy. Oh, Doug is saying this is a real thing. This is a video of just men.

Oh, that's a. What? Oh, my God. It looks like a huge earbud tip. It does. And there's another one. It's gigantic. Listen to that.

Babe, okay. I guess it sounds a little clearer than it did. You'll never want to listen to any. I have to be honest. I'll never want to listen to it again. That's right. That sounds terrific. Right?

I mean, it's so good. You've never heard Big Bad. I never I can imagine listening on your phone big bad John on a phone it's disgusting I'll never listen to anything on my phone again I'm gonna take all my calls through an expensive high-fi no are you gonna walk around with that gigantic speaker I guess I have to figure it well okay everybody I I'm odd man out here but um because I'm a woman so W-O-M-A-M-M-A-N that does it for this first episode of season 10 of the anywhere listen thank you for listening if you'd like to here our bonus content.
