SPEAKER_05

We hope you enjoy today's programming.

SPEAKER_01

Hi, I'm Reka Shunker.

SPEAKER_05

And I'm Ali Mansoor, and we're dead.

SPEAKER_01

Welcome to We're Dead, the afterlife's number one cable access show.

SPEAKER_05

That's right. We get a chance to talk to dead people and get to know them better and introduce them to you. Uh Reka, how's it going?

SPEAKER_01

It's going really well. Really? I've really tried to dive into like who's Reka, you know? What is she like? What does she want? Trying to raise my expectations and my relationships and things like that.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, and who would know better than you? Except except not.

SPEAKER_01

Who would know better than me at one?

SPEAKER_05

About who Reka is. Who knows?

SPEAKER_01

Do you know?

SPEAKER_05

No.

SPEAKER_01

This is what I'm practicing.

SPEAKER_05

Yes, exactly. I feel like it should be you. Who knows?

SPEAKER_01

Right. It is, right?

SPEAKER_05

I yes. I'm gonna say definitively, yes, you know yourself better than anybody else. Exactly. And who is Reka?

SPEAKER_01

Ex Sorry. Every time you pose it, it feels like you know a secret answer that I don't know.

SPEAKER_05

No, I'm saying tell the folks who Ray is. Who are you learning? What are you learning about yourself?

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Okay. So I learned that I am someone who is really patient. I am really, really patient. Okay. I'm really generous. I'm really sounds like you don't agree with these first two assessments.

SPEAKER_05

Sorry. Uh just interesting. Just interesting.

SPEAKER_01

Why is that interesting?

SPEAKER_05

Uh how do you know that you're generous? What have you done? And not that I'm doubting you, just to give a give the folks an example.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Well, I'm constantly sort of donating my time to people like you. Just like without even being asked. I am listening to you. I don't even need much cajoling. Yeah. You call me with your your problems and things like that, and I give you my time.

SPEAKER_05

Well, it was one of the work worst weeks of my life. So I'm sorry about that. And or of my dad.

SPEAKER_01

I didn't even ask you to say sorry. So, like, do you see what I mean? The generosity.

SPEAKER_05

You know? I guess I'm I guess I'm just not seeing the patience, maybe is what then you're not looking at me right now. Okay. And I'm not looking at you, you're right now. Okay. So I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_01

My patience is just so strong.

SPEAKER_05

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01

Because patience is like, to me, patience is a measure of how I love that. Patience is a measure of how little you're about to freak the fuck out, right? Yes. There's so many times where I want to freak the fuck out at let's say you, for example.

SPEAKER_05

Really? And I don't do it. So I when you don't, when you're actively not freaking out at me, I should be grateful.

SPEAKER_01

I should be thanking.

SPEAKER_05

I should be thanking.

SPEAKER_01

You should be grateful. This is the kind of energy I'm sort of realizing in myself. It's like, wow, thank you, Reka. You have really shown yourself to be the bigger person for not ripping Walid a new one right now.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. Well, I guess I'll say it because I guess I haven't said it before, but thank you. You're welcome. Thank you for another one.

SPEAKER_01

And I didn't even ask for that. I'm very generous. I don't expect things in return.

SPEAKER_05

I guess you didn't ask it, but it was okay. Yeah. Thank you. I'll thank you again.

SPEAKER_01

No problem. See?

SPEAKER_05

And also, I I I am sorry about calling you and freaking out. It was just it was it's been rough. Yeah. Highs and lows.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, tell me about it.

SPEAKER_05

Well, as you know, I've been trying to become uh a professional kicker in the afterlife football league. Um that's been like a new goal of mine. And um goal. And I went down to Earth to watch a practice, and there were some I went down to watch a practice to just try and get some insp inspiration from some of the kickers that are down there, and I just there were I I feel like when I called you, I was in a haze and I couldn't explain it well. But basically there were a bunch of afterlife bullies that were down there watching football, which like annoys me that they're that's the stereotype that people who watch football are bullies, that's not the that's not the case. But they tried to push me into a baby, they tried to push me into a baby and reset my life, which I didn't care for.

SPEAKER_01

Because was it a it was it even a baby that had a nice life or is it baby? No, it was clearly a miserable baby.

SPEAKER_05

The baby was at a NFL football practice, like that's not where a baby should be, right? Okay, so it would have been a horrible life. And I went down there and I was like, they could tell I was watching the kicker. Yeah, and I was like, I want to be the kicker. And they were like making fun of me because they're like, kickers, not that's not even part of the kids.

SPEAKER_01

Kickers don't even get CTE.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, that's right. That's not even they if you want to play football, you gotta get CTE. And I was like, I don't want it, okay. And I want to be a kicker, they're graceful, and they kept trying to push me into a baby. It was horrible.

SPEAKER_01

This is one thing Welena and I agree on. You cannot keep trying to push people into a baby. Babies, for the most part, don't have great lives or great parents. No, and to force somebody to be pushed into a baby and then re-li relive their own life, but now from the point of view of that baby that has a horrible life with parents who are messy and who drop it off at NFL professional NFL football drop them off.

SPEAKER_05

That's right.

SPEAKER_01

And they dropped them off and leave. Put them in a bleacher. A bleacher is mostly negative space, it's mostly holes. That's not a good life.

SPEAKER_05

But I was saved actually.

SPEAKER_01

Who saved you?

SPEAKER_05

Well, it was, you know, obviously I was there trying to learn, and I I've been hanging out with some like supportive folks who are hanging out with my family. Well, it's not your you've you've expressly said it's not it can't be my family if they're supportive. It is the family of the shunkers that go back generations and generations, but apparently it's not Reka's family because they're too supportive and they love me too much.

SPEAKER_01

You won't show me a picture. If we all have hooded eyes, it might be my family, but the everything you describe personality-wise does not lead me to believe it's my family.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, well, they were down there supporting me, this non-Reka shunkers family, shunker family. Uh, and one of them saved me. That they I was getting pushed, I was getting pushed, I was falling, like my fingers were in the baby's face, like in through the nose. And uh they they she like pushed me out of the way and she saved me, and it was like it was amazing.

SPEAKER_01

Did she become a baby?

SPEAKER_05

No, no, no, no, no. She didn't become a baby, thank God. Yeah, thank god she was a big thing. No, I'm so happy she didn't become a baby because we were like we went and we yeah, we like hung out after, which was a blast too.

SPEAKER_01

I now I know you can't be talking about my family. You hung out and it was a blast.

SPEAKER_05

Yes. Well, your family was still down there like partying. They were like with the tailgators, which is a crazy thing that happens at NFL football practices. But no, no, me and like this specific uh Rodhika, what's your name? Um me and her like hung out after you made up and I was just like pulling the name of like a restaurant or whatever.

SPEAKER_01

As a restaurant.

SPEAKER_05

I don't think of it as a restaurant, I think of this person that saved my death.

SPEAKER_01

Wow, okay. Well, Rodhika, please call in and tell me if you're related to me because it doesn't sound like it. You save someone, you're supposed to I mean Do you want me to ask her?

SPEAKER_05

We are we we're going out tomorrow night, actually.

SPEAKER_01

If you date one of my ancestors, does that make you related to me?

SPEAKER_05

I'm not gonna date her.

SPEAKER_01

But do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I do know what you mean. Like if I marry her, am I now your step-step step grandpa? Yeah. Or step grandpa grandpa grandpa.

SPEAKER_01

You would repeat grandpa? What? Wouldn't it be like step great grandpa?

SPEAKER_04

That's right. I forgot the word great.

SPEAKER_01

You know what? You might be right. I actually hold on. I'm thinking back. Yeah, maybe it's not you know, your great-great-great-great-great grandfather, your colloco-it's like your great-grandpa, grandpa, grandpa, you're colour-that's right.

SPEAKER_05

That's right, that's right. That'll be me. Well, but I but I don't, I mean, like, you know, obviously I was married back on earth and I've had a lot of sex since I've been up here, but I'm not having sex anymore. But I'm just even if I had a crush on Radhika, I'm not gonna like pursue it just because she saved my death and like I fell into her arms and it was like special or whatever. Like, you know, I'm not pursuing a love life right now. We've talked about this, Rika.

SPEAKER_01

And hallelujah, you're not pursuing a love life. Lucky, lucky Rodica. Good god. Uh if you guys start dating, I'm going to throw up.

SPEAKER_05

We're seeing a movie. That's a date. That's not a date.

SPEAKER_01

That's literally a date.

SPEAKER_05

It's not a date. What are you seeing? What are we seeing? We're seeing about a boy.

SPEAKER_01

That is so romantic. That's a Hugh Grant movie.

SPEAKER_05

That's romantic. It's about a boy. It's about a boy.

SPEAKER_01

But it's one of those movies where a boy sorry, where a man acts like a boy.

SPEAKER_05

You're what? That's what that movie is?

SPEAKER_01

It's about a man who acts like a boy. No, I think it's about a boy. And then everyone's mad at him because they're like, you need to behave like a man, right?

SPEAKER_05

I don't think so. You're thinking Or is he babysitting a boy? Yeah, I think it's that one. You're thinking of like big or something. About a boy.

SPEAKER_01

No, no, no. But doesn't he?

SPEAKER_04

Go ahead.

SPEAKER_01

You are classically misunderstanding me on purpose. You're being willfully obtuse. Okay. Isn't it that he it's like ironic that he has to take care of a boy because he himself behaves not like a boy like in big where he's literally like licking lollipops and stuff. He's just immature.

SPEAKER_05

And you that's what you think big is, is he's acting like a tiny little three-year-old who has a twirly hat.

SPEAKER_01

Big specifically is a little boy who's trying to act like a man.

SPEAKER_05

He gets turned into a man.

SPEAKER_01

He gets turned into a man.

SPEAKER_05

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

A big man.

SPEAKER_05

And you think about a boy. So you're saying about a boy is a guy has to babysit a kid, but the guy acts like a little kid.

SPEAKER_01

The guy is immature. Immature. Like he's like a hound dog, you know? He's like, he's like prowling around.

SPEAKER_05

Those are different things to me. Being a hound dog and being acting like a little boy.

SPEAKER_01

You are a boy. I what I'm saying, like he he's immature. He's immature. He's like a 20-year-old behaviorally.

SPEAKER_05

Well, I'll let you know when I go see it with Radica and disgusting. What? Sit where you don't know her?

SPEAKER_01

Where is she?

SPEAKER_05

Apparently, not where are our seats? Yeah, do you that corner?

unknown

That's disgusting.

SPEAKER_05

They were the only ones available.

SPEAKER_01

It's like the pregnancy corner of a movie theater.

SPEAKER_05

Pregnancy corner. Oh, the corner in which people pregnatize movies.

SPEAKER_01

They pregnantize each other in that corner because nobody's looking and nobody wants to sit against that nasty wall where everyone's coughing on it.

SPEAKER_05

No, I don't think that's what's gonna happen. Because also nobody's ever got pregnatized in heaven, to my knowledge.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, you only get bloated in heaven, but I am not willing to take the risk. Do not be related to me, Waleed. That is a humble request or really demand.

SPEAKER_07

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Well I think I've been so generous with you. I have not tried to be related to you for a while. Thank you, Reka. Thank you, Reka. Thank you.

SPEAKER_05

Thank you.

SPEAKER_01

See how generous I'm thanking you.

SPEAKER_05

Thank you, Reka.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. I feel so sick.

SPEAKER_05

Should we just move on?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I need to move on.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, great. Uh, we have an incredible guest on the show. I personally have never met one of these before. Please welcome to the show, a dragon.

SPEAKER_01

Steve, right?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I'm sorry, you said one of these.

unknown

Yes.

SPEAKER_03

Uh wanna. I have never I you know what I I've never met a dragon. I guess you've never met a dragon. It's fine in your limited worldview. I'm one of these.

SPEAKER_01

Oh god.

SPEAKER_03

I'm so scared.

SPEAKER_01

Can we take this back? I feel awful.

SPEAKER_03

No, you know what? We have to leave it in. I'm gonna demand that we leave it in.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, and I'm generous, so I will I will say yes.

SPEAKER_03

And I know that I've immediately come out in a sort of aggro way, but I'm here to say that dragons are chill.

SPEAKER_01

Really?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

See, they're chill. This is why I love our show. Yes. Because you get all of these guests who have some sort of public.

SPEAKER_03

These guests?

unknown

God.

SPEAKER_03

Is these bad?

SPEAKER_01

I said like a very neutral thing, which is guests.

SPEAKER_03

It's just like I it's just the way, it's not the word in particular. It's just the sort of the.

SPEAKER_01

I'm hitting the TH too hard. It's like a hard T.

SPEAKER_03

These guests. Okay.

SPEAKER_06

We'll avoid the types of Bs.

SPEAKER_01

These guests.

SPEAKER_05

When you have guests, when we have guests on the show.

SPEAKER_01

When we have guests on the show, I find it so helpful to hear from their mouth.

SPEAKER_03

From I'm gonna let that one go. Because to be honest, when we're talking about their mouths, I do have a very specific mouth, so I do think it's fine to say their mouths.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, I appreciate that. From hearing from mouths that what the real story is.

SPEAKER_05

Yes, yes. And being chill, unfortunately, uh is not the connotation with dragons. No, yes. Do you know why that might be?

SPEAKER_03

Well, I mean, look, I'm I'm a I look at my face. Okay. I might look scary.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

No. Do you guys think I look scary?

SPEAKER_01

I mean, you look bumpy. Do you know what tryptophobia is?

SPEAKER_03

It is the fear of tiny holes. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, you're probably feeling it pretty hard right now. There's definitely something of tiny holes?

SPEAKER_01

There's definitely something activating in me.

SPEAKER_03

What else is included in that spot? Well, it's not sponges for sure.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, it depends on the irregular holes and bumps.

SPEAKER_03

Like cartoon Swiss cheese.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that one is okay for me. When I think of like, like I've never been able to look at a picture of a Suriname toad. Do you know what those are? No. Those are frogs or toads that have holes in their back for their babies to hide in.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, I've seen that.

SPEAKER_01

And that actually physically huge itch. That's right here. Truly getting sick on all sides.

SPEAKER_03

Totally get it. Hey.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

You know, yeah. Some people don't like calls from Steve.

SPEAKER_01

I don't there's no way I can admit that. I have a sort of sunken eye situation. Yeah, there's no way I could admit something like that.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, great, great, great. It's fine. It's fine. Um, look, uh I think that depictions of these types of people. I'm so sorry. Dragons like myself. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03

Um, you know, they they tend to be very violent. We're breathing fire. Yeah. We're scary. We're we're much bigger than we actually are. I'm just normally human.

SPEAKER_01

You you and I are the same size? Like a normal guy.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Just a normal guy. I just I'm a just happen to be a dragon. Yeah. Now, is that the what is the range generally of dragons? Oh, it's a pretty big range. Oh, it is a big range. Okay. I mean, the longer we live, the bigger we get. And um it's kind of like uh goldfish, where if there's nothing restricting my growth, I'll just continue to grow.

SPEAKER_05

And is that like literal space or is it like an emotional thing?

SPEAKER_03

Oh, it could be both. Okay, it could be both. Um on Earth, of course, I was 600 feet long. 600 feet long? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But here, you know, I decided to, because I can, you know, assume my own form, as we all know, in the afterlife. That's incredible. So I've decided to just be human-sized just for just to get past some of the stereotypes.

SPEAKER_05

Where on earth were you located?

SPEAKER_03

Um England. England.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

unknown

Wow.

SPEAKER_01

So Harry Potter got some stuff right.

SPEAKER_03

There's some look, I'm always saying that. You're always kind of saying that Harry Potter got some stuff right. And um I remember they got that right again. I remember when I remember when I was reading the Harry Potter books um during the uh sort of afterlife pandemic that we had. Yeah. So I was so happy to be listening to the audiobooks with the um incredible reader. And um then all this stuff came out about um JK Radio. Juck Rowling. Yeah. Um, and I thought, you know what? I want to try to separate the art from the artist. Yeah. And then I started to play the book, and it was immediately a scene about everyone laughing at a teacher for dressing up like a woman. Oh no. And I thought, I forgot about that scene. That's a scene in the book? Yeah, it was some some some weird sort of scene.

SPEAKER_01

It's a yeah, it's definitely some sort of weird scene. It's I think it's like the second scene in the first book.

SPEAKER_03

It might be something like that, yeah. But they get that right. But they get a lot of things right. They get a lot of things right. Um, here's what I want to say. Harry Potter's not my biggest problem, obviously. I mean, they have bigger problems with that franchise. Yes, of course.

SPEAKER_05

How what is their interpretation of dragons?

SPEAKER_03

How does that um you know, we're dragons, we're breathing fire, flying around, flying around, big, we're magical, big and small. They actually have small ones too. Yeah, that's kind of that all makes sense to me. You know, not right. We're not a monolith. Um, but stuff like Game of Thrones, stuff like How to Train Your Dragon. Oh, these are bad examples. How to train your dragon, I would say, is sort of a minstrel show.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, imagine if there was a show called like how to train your Indian. How to like is it is Dragon a race, you know, or like how to train your human.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, very possessive.

SPEAKER_03

It would be very uh it's just I can't even watch something like that. Toothless in our world is a is a slur. So to have named this dragon toothless, it's also got like the big cartoony eyes, so cartoony, like a precious moments figurine. I I'm I'm kind of against all that kind of stuff. We're way more chill. I mean, look, they're kind of chilling how to train your dragon, but uh what makes you chill? What chills you out?

SPEAKER_06

Laying in my cave, lay in your cave, yeah, curl it up, pile gold. Love a pile of gold. You do like a pile of gold. So they got that right.

SPEAKER_03

It's fun. I mean, it's like look, it you know how on like a Sunday it could be raining or something, you might want to put on a blanket and watch like a comfort movie. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01

What's your comfort movie, Steve?

SPEAKER_03

My comfort movie is um it's actually not a movie, it's laying in my cave with a pile of gold.

SPEAKER_01

Wow. Honestly, that is it's so powerful for your favorite movie to just be your life.

SPEAKER_05

It's just not a movie. That's wonderful. It's not moving.

SPEAKER_01

That is that is a chill gift.

SPEAKER_03

If I had a comfort watch, it's probably a movie drive.

SPEAKER_05

The movie drive. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Some people stress, some people get stressed with that movie. Yeah. For me, I just the music of it. You know what's interesting?

SPEAKER_05

There are some things that stress that stress a lot of people out and it chills me out. Like I'm a big fan of Free Solo. That's a weird chill movie for me.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, you're psychotic.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

That's a psychotic answer.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, that's a psychotic answer. Okay.

SPEAKER_03

Uh, you have the same screw loose that that guy has, I think.

SPEAKER_06

Oh.

SPEAKER_05

Um in Tri Sola. Oh, maybe, but this is part of it. I don't think I could climb more than about two feet without being like, I give me a rope.

SPEAKER_03

But you can watch someone else do it. I could watch somebody else do it. It's pretty crazy. Yeah. It's pretty psychotic.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

SPEAKER_03

I'm also here to say say something. Look, A Cab. A cab. Yeah. Does that mean the same thing? Yeah. All knights are bastards. A. A cab. With a K.

SPEAKER_05

That's right. Got it. All knights are bastards.

SPEAKER_03

Camelot. In Camelot, we're talking about uh uh uh Lancelot. Yep. We're talking about Sir Duncan the Tall. We're talking about Elton John. All of them. Anybody that has been knighted. Elton John is Elton John is the one who killed me. Killed you? Wait, wait, wait.

SPEAKER_05

Are you saying I'm here because are you telling me that people that are knighted nowadays are still going on missions to kill dragons?

SPEAKER_03

They are tasked. It's not even a mission, it's just like they seek out the glory. Hey, I'm a knight now.

SPEAKER_01

To justify the title, kind of. Especially.

SPEAKER_03

This is what Ian McKellen's doing. This is yes, exactly.

SPEAKER_01

And one of the Beatles. One of the Paul McCartney. Gotta be more than Paul McCartney.

SPEAKER_05

One only?

SPEAKER_01

Only Paul. Do you think Ringo got knighted?

SPEAKER_03

Sir Wing Sir Ringo. Sir Ringo's.

SPEAKER_01

Sir Star?

SPEAKER_03

I'll say this. I'll say this. Ringo has never barged into my cave with a big lance.

SPEAKER_05

That honestly, that makes sense. Even if he is a knight, even if he's got the armor, he's not.

SPEAKER_03

I respect Ringo.

SPEAKER_05

Amen.

SPEAKER_03

He's a great drummer. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_03

But Elton John, of course, you put me out of my misery.

SPEAKER_01

Wait, yeah, how tell us this story. This is horrifying.

SPEAKER_03

Well, look, I was in my cave. Of course, I was curled around a nice pot of gold, like a cute little kitten. And um, of course, I had a little bit of indigestion. So yeah, I was breathing a little bit of fire that day. Of course. You're at your home. You should be able to smoke. Yeah. What do you want from me? You know? I ate some chili. I was smoking some weed. All of a sudden that mix. You get high? A little bit, yeah. I would say the weed is too strong these days. Freak.

unknown

Wow.

SPEAKER_05

These days. So you got when did you die?

SPEAKER_03

These days. Oh, I died in 1994.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, yeah. It's even stronger. Wait a minute. It's stronger. Sorry.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, it's way stronger. Oh, I don't even want to know what it's like.

SPEAKER_01

I have to go back. So the Lion King came out around 1994.

SPEAKER_03

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Elton John wins what? An Oscar?

SPEAKER_07

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01

Is that not enough? To justify your knighthood, your title, you have to go and kill a king.

SPEAKER_03

You guys want to know what he killed me with? Of course. The Oscar. Bash me in the head with his Oscar. What? And I mean, it was an honor, of course, just to be nominated.

SPEAKER_01

And we we're not going to be a good idea. I consider being nominated.

SPEAKER_03

If you're killed by an Oscar, you've been nominated.

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

Of course.

SPEAKER_05

And who else? Do you know anybody else that falls into that?

SPEAKER_03

I was killed by an Oscar? Um, that's a great question. Do you know? I don't really know, but um some people think that um, let's see, who might have been killed by an Oscar? Um Well, I wonder. Quexaquaddle. Quexaquaddle. He's my cousin, actually. Oh, Quexaquattle is your boy. Yeah, your cousin. He's the of course the Aztec serpent god. Yes. Ah, okay. Gotcha. Lived until, you know, I think he he he was uh probably died in like 1983, 1984. And of course, Scorsese, Sir Martin Scorsese. He bashed Quexaquattle.

SPEAKER_01

I feel sick.

SPEAKER_05

That's disgusting. That's disgusting. I'm glad you guys get it.

SPEAKER_03

At first I was like, these guys don't get it. Now all of a sudden these guys get it.

SPEAKER_05

So when you got bashed, and I I guess we don't have to if you don't feel comfortable going to the specifics, we don't have to, but you bash. 600 feet long.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Enormous. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you not feel the first bash? There's no way one bash.

SPEAKER_03

Well, what was the first thing I said to you when I when you started here? Dragons are chill. Dragons are chill. So if Elton John walks in, I'm like, oh, huge fan. You're high as fuck. I'm I'm tweaking. I'm like, yo, I'm fucking high. And um I'm saying to myself, oh my god, Elton John's here, Tiny Dancer, one of my favorite songs.

SPEAKER_05

Oh.

SPEAKER_03

I think it's fun because I'm so big.

SPEAKER_05

Brutal your fans.

SPEAKER_03

I'm a huge fan. And and like just imagining being a little tiny dancer as a 600-foot dragon. That's really sweet. It's sweet to me, but he walks in and he says, Um First of all, he said, Do you know what night it is? I said, I don't know what night it is. And he said, It's Saturday night. Saturday night.

SPEAKER_01

Saturday night, it's alright.

SPEAKER_03

It's a night for fighting.

SPEAKER_01

It's a night for fighting.

SPEAKER_03

It's a night for fighting. And he said, I'm a knight for fighting. I'm Sir Elton John. And he bashed me in his head with his Oscar. Crocodile rocked. Crocodile. He crocodile rocked your fucking dome. He crocodile rocked me. And um ultimately, like, I still want to say that I'm a fan, but like, in the end, like all anyone who is knighted by the queen or the king, they just they've got to screw loose, you know.

SPEAKER_05

And you know, it's probably the case where they're justifying, like, oh, that's what knights do. This is what knights do. This is what knights do.

SPEAKER_03

It's stereotypical knight stuff.

SPEAKER_05

And that dragon could have hurt somebody.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, have I hurt anyone?

SPEAKER_05

That dragon was on drugs. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Come on now.

SPEAKER_05

He probably stole all that gold.

SPEAKER_03

Ugh, pants too low. Just walking around the wrong neighborhood. I'm like, this is my cave. It's okay. I'm at my home.

SPEAKER_01

You didn't even do anything. So crazy. Okay, a cob.

SPEAKER_05

A cab. Thank you. I really appreciate that. Now we gotta look out for knights.

SPEAKER_01

I feel lucky now that I don't know any.

SPEAKER_05

Who are the big ones that we should be looking out for?

SPEAKER_03

Well, um, the entire uh UCF uh college football team. Oh, we got the golden knights. The golden knights, of course.

SPEAKER_01

Crap.

SPEAKER_06

Uh the Las Vegas uh team.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my god. What about like medieval times? I know those are like.

SPEAKER_03

Well, those are those are like sort of actors playing knights, but at the same time, like they're just like glory hungry as well.

SPEAKER_01

And if you're someone who's like, I'm gonna take a role playing a knight, well, we know how despicable they are now.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, it's like it's crazy. I gotta know about uh maybe you don't know this answer, but uh gender equality nowadays. Is Dame Duty Judy Dench? Is she a knight?

SPEAKER_01

Is Dame Duty Dench is Dame Duty Dench?

SPEAKER_05

What's Dame Duty Dench doing?

SPEAKER_03

Let's talk about Dame Duty Dench. Um she, of course, is a dame. She's a dame. So I don't know if that from her perspective is consider she doesn't consider herself a knight.

SPEAKER_01

So Judy's not kind of living with that.

SPEAKER_03

No, but she's Judy doing she's always kind of she's always like walking in front of the cave being like, oh no, kidnap me. Oh, she's a dame.

SPEAKER_05

Damsel. She's like a damsel in distress.

SPEAKER_01

Are those are those related words?

SPEAKER_05

They must have the same Latin words.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, she must think that because she's always like, take me, take me, kidnap me, kidnap me. And I'm like, She was doing this, that is called, what is that called?

SPEAKER_01

A dink. That's called Dishi Dinky.

SPEAKER_05

That is called when cops try and get you to do something.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, entrapment.

SPEAKER_03

It's a honey, it's a honey trap. It's a dunny trap. It's uh it's a dame dunny dunny trap. Dunny trap. It's absolutely entrapment. And of course, I'm seeing it, and I'm like, I don't want to tell her to get out of here because of course Dame Judy Dench is in front of my cave. Yeah. But like, yeah, I'm not gonna take the bait.

SPEAKER_05

You know, you've never kidnapped a damsel, right?

unknown

Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I I would say, like, okay, there was definitely a time uh before I was smoking weed where I was a little bit less chill.

SPEAKER_05

Um so dragons are chill if they get hot.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I mean, at this point they're chill. Middle ages, we might have been a little aggro, sure. But drag ro we might have been drag row. That's nice. Oh, that's a really fun um uh drag race name. Oh draw. I'm drag row.

SPEAKER_01

Well, it's interesting because drag already, yeah, it's like drag is already a kind of it's already a thing.

SPEAKER_03

It's already a thing.

SPEAKER_05

Well, like I mean like dragon and drag already are are those root words are they the same root word there?

SPEAKER_03

Well, I'm serving. You're serving. Stop giving.

SPEAKER_05

But you're not serving the queen.

SPEAKER_03

No, no, no. But of course, like I am presenting, like, of course, drag. Some people consider drag to be like um a sort of uh if you've ever seen Paris' Burning, I have drag is about sort of a projection of an image, it could be any sort of image that you decide on, whatever the category might be. And um, I'm serving dragon. So there is in a way, I am drag. Wow. Wow. And in the the immortal words of RuPaul, we're born naked and the rest is drag. Is that the phrase I don't know? It is. Okay, I I I was I for a second I was like, You came in super confident. Came in super confident and then the wheels fell off.

SPEAKER_05

Of course I'm yeah, you don't want I I get the the uh hesitation, but yes, yes, yes. You knocked out the mailed it. He nailed it. I appreciate it.

SPEAKER_01

Are we serving like am I serving Reka?

SPEAKER_03

Absolutely. Oh my god. The the second you get out of bed, you're serving Rika. But not when you're in bed. No, when you're in bed, you're serving sleepy. Yeah, you're serving sleepy. But the second you wake up, I mean, isn't that like a nice thing to know? Is that like you are always serving. See you're always serving Reka.

SPEAKER_01

I told you I I'm so generous. I'm always serving you.

SPEAKER_05

Yes. Thank hey Reka, thank you. Thank you. And with that, we should probably catch the commercial.

SPEAKER_00

We'll be right back. Live from Vic Pen for Man Arena. It's the void. Hear them like you've never heard them before. New hits, old classics. The void.

SPEAKER_01

And we're back. Willie, I'm so excited for this next guest.

SPEAKER_05

Me too. This is a person that I feel like I talked a lot about more as a kid and I haven't thought about in a long time, but it's fun to see him here.

SPEAKER_01

Please welcome Cupid. Hello.

SPEAKER_05

Hi, Cupid.

SPEAKER_02

Hi. Hi.

SPEAKER_05

How how has the afterlife been for you?

SPEAKER_02

Well, uh, it was going well. I was having a lot of fun. I was doing a lot of um fun matches. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Um Were you always in the afterlife? No. No.

SPEAKER_01

You were a lot, because I think when I was a kid, and forgive me, I was like, Cupid is just like kind of an imaginary like fantasy, like an angel.

SPEAKER_02

I'm not imaginary.

SPEAKER_05

You exist.

SPEAKER_01

And I see, I see that.

SPEAKER_05

And we see that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and I'm sorry. I was just trying to point out very nice to say. No, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was just trying to think. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I've been here not imaginary for um 2,000 or so years, and then I um I died yeah, recently.

SPEAKER_05

You died recently. Yeah. So were you mostly on Earth during your existence?

SPEAKER_02

I was mostly on Earth, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, wow. And I I hate to start this way. I mean, I guess I already started out, but how did you die?

SPEAKER_02

I was flying. Yeah. And I was hungry. So I ate a snack, a uh gupe. Grape.

SPEAKER_05

You always have little kind of bunches of grapes in your diapie.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I have to do that. Does that ever you guys want to? No, does that ever get mixed up with what?

SPEAKER_06

With what?

SPEAKER_02

With what? With what? What would I mix my gupe up with?

SPEAKER_04

Raspberries? Blueberries?

SPEAKER_01

Uh anything else you might store in a diaper?

SPEAKER_04

Poop? Were you gonna say little turds?

SPEAKER_01

Are there compartments? Am I crazy?

SPEAKER_05

You are being crazy.

SPEAKER_01

You are being crazy. Wait, what is the thing we're all predicating this on? Are there compartments?

SPEAKER_05

It's a storage diaper. Right. Have you never seen rug rats?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

You ever seen Tommy reach for his screwdriver and pull out a big turd?

SPEAKER_04

He knows the difference. He knows the difference.

SPEAKER_01

You know, I'm going back in my memory, and I could have sworn one time he pulled out a bigger type.

SPEAKER_04

No, he pulled out a big turn. No chance. No chance.

SPEAKER_01

Viewers, please call it if you know the episode of the Rugrats I'm talking about, where Tommy reaches for the screwdriver to open the pen and it comes out and has poop all over it. Please tell me if you remember this episode. It's quite shocking.

SPEAKER_05

That would be shocking. There's no way that passes BCC.

SPEAKER_01

Or like he pulls a binky out and then it's got poop over it. No. Please, please call it if you remember that.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. I assume that that's never. Yeah, that's probably never happened to you.

SPEAKER_02

You're sick. I was flying. I was hungry. I reached for a grape. I I am eating a grape, and then I f a seagull flew into me.

SPEAKER_06

A seagull flew into you?

SPEAKER_02

I choked on my grape.

SPEAKER_05

No. So you died via the choking.

SPEAKER_01

Ultimately, it was the choking. Because you know what? And I I don't know if this was the case. If you're flying, who can give you the Heimlich manure? It's only other flying creatures.

SPEAKER_05

You gotta hope just when you land, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It's like, is a bird gonna do? I don't even think a bird could do that if they freaking wanted to.

SPEAKER_05

Now I gotta know how you were able to exist for 2,000 years and maintain your age.

SPEAKER_02

My parents are gods. Your parents are gods.

SPEAKER_01

Nepo, Nepo, Nepo.

SPEAKER_02

I'm a Nepo baby.

SPEAKER_05

You're a Nepo baby.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. So you how old do you uh do you tell people you are? Do you say the thousands years or the the earth like two. You say two. You say two. You say two.

SPEAKER_01

See, it's so interesting because I feel like I would want to say I'm two thousand to kind of further justify that like my wisdom in knowing relations. If a two-year-old, yeah, the earth understanding of a two-year-old tells me I think you would match with this person, I'd go, Well, you're crazy.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. You're sometimes sometimes I do it based on what you know, use it to my advantage. Okay, sure. But a lot of the time, and what's happening here in the afterlife is people are very mad at me and being very meaningful. They're mad at you because of some of my matches. And then what I say is, I'm two.

SPEAKER_05

And then it kind of gives you a pass.

SPEAKER_02

But people are mad at me and they've taken someone. I'm here because someone has taken my bow and arrow. Oh my god, I'm now seeing it. You just have the wings, you don't have the bow and arrow. Someone has taken it because I people are saying bad matches. You're doing a bad job. We don't want you making these matches anymore.

SPEAKER_05

But you when you make a match, that's love, right? Isn't that the whole thing? Is like when you do it, now that's love. And basically you can't do it wrong, can you?

SPEAKER_02

Well, tell that to the rest of the people in the afterlife.

SPEAKER_01

Is there anyone specifically in the afterlife that said, hey, I don't like this match you made?

SPEAKER_02

Everyone is pissed about Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Coco.

SPEAKER_05

Coco, the grandma from the movie Coco?

SPEAKER_01

The gorilla. Oh, the Everyone's pissed about that. Everyone's pissed about Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Coco the Gorilla.

SPEAKER_05

But aren't they in love?

SPEAKER_01

They're in love.

SPEAKER_05

But other people are pissed.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, who's pissed? Is it the people that got the match that are pissed or other people? Other people are pissed.

SPEAKER_05

A bunch of people who are in love with Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Coco. That's right.

SPEAKER_01

So Harambe is like, can you please? Harambe's been begging me for a match.

SPEAKER_02

But and I keep saying I have to follow my heart and I haven't felt a match for the case.

SPEAKER_05

And now you need your bow and arrow back to match you.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. If you've seen Cupid's bow and arrow, this is not a joke. Call in right now. Because that's we're serious. We're serious this time. This is not a joke. You need to call in. That's serious. That's theft. It's dehumanizing. It's awful.

SPEAKER_05

Why Coco and Ruth Baker against me?

SPEAKER_01

I felt something between them. What did you feel?

SPEAKER_02

What does it feel like when you feel a match? It feels tingly. Yeah. It feels tingly in my diaper. Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Anything else? Anything else?

SPEAKER_02

It feels really tingly in my diaper.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02

Like, um, you know, everywhere. Yeah. Uh tingly. Yeah. And like exciting.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Is it I've been there?

SPEAKER_01

Is it possible? That a match for Cupid is just them either going to the bathroom or coming. Is it possible that?

SPEAKER_05

I think Rake is suggesting.

SPEAKER_01

I'm not. Ray is.

SPEAKER_02

Somebody called in and suggested. I want to remind you, I'm two. But what do you have to ask?

SPEAKER_05

Reka is suggesting that when you pee in your diaper and you feel a warm feeling, you might be looking at two people and going, oh, that's love. Is there a chance?

SPEAKER_06

Is there a chance?

SPEAKER_01

Just because from the outside, I'm not mad about RBG and Coco. No, in some ways I can get it. I can see it. I see it. But I wouldn't have thought about it. And so it's so there's a there's a part of it that that's oh, that's either artistry of a true matchmaker, or I go, whoa, maybe it's it's random.

SPEAKER_05

Ah, I see.

SPEAKER_02

I think it's artistry, but I am following the tingly feeling. Okay.

SPEAKER_05

So it's tingly feeling first, then love. Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Can you give us some other examples of matches or times you've felt this tingly? Or like ticket through. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Well, people are really mad about some of my others too. Yeah. Oh, well, on Earth, people are so mad at me about Woody Allen.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

You did Woody Allen.

SPEAKER_02

Which which time? Soon ye. People are really mad about that. I don't like that one. I thought I think it's a huge bummer, Cupid. I I I What do you want me to say? I felt the feeling.

SPEAKER_01

Why? And I'm a baby. Wait, take take me through. I'm just curious about something. What are you doing like an hour or two before the feeling? What are you like eating? Are you eating or drinking anything?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, usually grapes and a lot of um apple juice. Apple juice. Apple juice.

SPEAKER_01

I love apple juice. You drink a lot of apple juice? I love apple juice. So can you take me through the day you matched Woody and his daughter together? What was it? His daughter? His wife. Sorry.

SPEAKER_05

It's his step. Was it his stepdaughter?

SPEAKER_01

And she he was with Mia Faro. I felt the feeling. Yeah. Yeah. Take me through. I want to know what that day was like, just so I can get an understanding of if I believe this. Or I think it's the P.

SPEAKER_02

I've been uh going about my regular day. Um flying, floating, drinking, juice. And then I was in Manhattan. Beautiful place. Skawy.

SPEAKER_05

Scary.

SPEAKER_02

Skewy.

SPEAKER_05

Scary place.

SPEAKER_02

So many buildings. Lots of places. Lots of people.

SPEAKER_05

If you're flying around, you might smack into things. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And then also the Statue of Liberty freaks me out.

SPEAKER_05

Freaks you out. It could be freaky. Have you ever tried to set up the Statue of Liberty with something else? Then you realize, oh, not a person.

SPEAKER_02

I keep trying to set the Statue of Liberty up. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Who do you think would be a good match? Or what was your what was your tingly thing?

SPEAKER_02

I tried to set the Statue of Liberty up with Rudy Julian.

SPEAKER_01

Oh. You know, that does feel like a natural match to me.

SPEAKER_02

I agree.

SPEAKER_01

I agree.

SPEAKER_02

I I feel like that's really aiming up for him. Yeah. Anyway, then I was flying by a school and Woody Allen was there. And then I got the feeling.

SPEAKER_05

I don't love you being at schools. I never make you. You don't need to be at schools.

SPEAKER_02

I was flying over in a wet school.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, yeah. They're unavoidable. They're everywhere.

SPEAKER_02

You never had a crush on anybody at school?

SPEAKER_05

I had so many crushes. Was that you sometimes?

SPEAKER_02

Sometimes.

SPEAKER_05

Did you make me have a crush on Christopher Manus?

SPEAKER_01

That was me. I had a crush on my student teacher when I was in second grade. That was me. Wow. He said I talk so fast I sound like the Hot Wheels commercials.

SPEAKER_05

Wait, wait. I gotta know. Oh. What? Wow. Did that make you go, oh my god, he likes me. Oh my god, he likes me, he likes me, he likes me.

SPEAKER_01

You only say that to someone you love.

SPEAKER_05

I gotta know, is a crush when you shoot only one person?

SPEAKER_02

Oh that's that's brutal.

SPEAKER_05

I guess you miss the second person.

SPEAKER_02

That's what I've I've been doing to you for a long time, it seems. I was doing it when you were on earth, and then I've been doing it in here.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I kind of felt that to be honest. Because I've had quite a few crushes that I thought were something in the orange. Michael Jackson. Yeah, I I really had a strong crush on him. And I even honestly, Cupid tried to fight it once all the allegations came out, but I still remained absolutely in love with Michael Jackson. That was me.

SPEAKER_06

That was you.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I really went to therapy about that to be like, how can I not excuse all of these horrible things? Is it just because he's the king of pop? Do I am I sometimes you have to separate the art from the artist? Well, I'd be curious again about this Woody story. So you went to a school.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, you flew her flying over and around a school.

SPEAKER_02

And he was um getting out of the car with um Sun Yi and uh taking her to school. And you thought, what a cute little And I got the feeling. And I got the feeling.

SPEAKER_05

Mm-mm. Okay. So why not? And I know that this is your entire thing, and I don't want to like say that you shouldn't be doing your thing, but why not pe let people just fall in love with who they want to fall in love with? Or we can move on to an entirely different question.

SPEAKER_02

Have you ever fallen in love with the wrong person?

SPEAKER_05

Well oh, that's a very interesting question. I think the answer is probably yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

You probably wish I had been so anytime we've fallen in some in love with someone that was wrong for us, that wasn't me. And then every time it was a really bad crush, that was you. That was me.

SPEAKER_05

You gotta know the differences. There's slight little differences.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, interesting.

SPEAKER_05

Man, yeah. I fall in love with some people that uh yeah, like I fell I was in love with them forever, and I just shouldn't have been. Yeah, yeah, and that hurts, and that's why you need Cupid. Did you did you have a hand in me and my wife that we fought?

SPEAKER_02

I shot her first, and then it I accidentally shot a different guy.

SPEAKER_05

That no, that this actually sounds right.

SPEAKER_02

And so for a minute there, yeah, it was a different guy with your wife.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I didn't care for that.

SPEAKER_02

Um, but then I I sh I reshot you and it worked out.

SPEAKER_05

Wow. Man, that's so wow. Well, thank you. I guess thank you.

SPEAKER_02

Mm-hmm. You're welcome. But I've been thinking about who I could if I could find my bow and any bow.

SPEAKER_01

This is serious. Colin, this is not a joke. I I'm half debating if I want Cupid to have his bow and arrow back, but it's not it's not.

SPEAKER_05

Who we can we try and maybe figure it out? Who stole it from you?

SPEAKER_02

Well, okay, so there's been a lot of people bullying me and sticking my head in the toilet.

SPEAKER_05

There's a lot of afterlife bullies.

SPEAKER_02

Pablo Picasso keeps sticking my head in the toilet.

SPEAKER_04

What? Why?

SPEAKER_02

He says he does not like my matches. And he, I think I feel like he also dated kids.

SPEAKER_01

And is that too huge to say without looking it up?

SPEAKER_04

You really pull that out of the I have no clue. I'm not gonna support that one way or another.

SPEAKER_02

And I did those two.

SPEAKER_04

You did the kid once. Okay, great.

SPEAKER_02

Because for me, I'm 2,000 and I'm two.

SPEAKER_01

So for me, it's just a number. And and you know, the woman who sang that song.

SPEAKER_05

Um That's a song?

SPEAKER_01

Uh Selena Gomez. Yeah, it's Aaliyah. Oh. Aaliyah sang that song, and um I I believe you may have made a really bad match there. Yeah, at that time that maybe inspired that song. Yeah. Because she got married to R. Kelly when she was 15. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

What? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

When she was 15? Well, because they lied about her age. I did that. That's so bad.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, it sucks that your bonero is that sucks so bad. Pull in.

SPEAKER_04

If you know anything.

SPEAKER_01

It is seriously not okay to steal golden arrows. Totally, totally. The phone is all ready and primed to be called. It's already off the hook. And I can, if you guys help me find my arrow, I can set you up with whoever you want.

SPEAKER_02

I can go against my rules. I can do a match for whoever you want. Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Now that's interesting.

SPEAKER_01

Now that's interesting. Because there's a few cuties. Who are you interested in down here? George Washington Carver. You got it. Seriously? You got it. Seriously? Because I got catfished by somebody who looked like him. And then a buddy of mine said he would set me up, but he hasn't been responding to my text, and I feel a little desperate now. I go, hey, you got George's info? Question mark. And then I gave it a thumbs up so this it would ping again in his text. And then he said, Hey, just checking in George's info. And then I did send a third one, and I'm like, I can't keep asking about George's info.

SPEAKER_05

But this could be the way to do it.

SPEAKER_01

I love it.

SPEAKER_02

You helped me find my AO. I set you up with George Washington. George Washington.

SPEAKER_01

Carver. Please don't set me up with George Washington. It was actually different. I really don't want to be set up with George Washington. I think he'd actually scream if he met me. Would love the guy who invented peanut butter and not the first president of Carver.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, Carver. Can you repeat it back?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

George Washington. Carving. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. All right. Over the break, I'm gonna explain that there's a huge difference between those two people. We will be right back.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, don't worry. That was just my shirt. Literally. The fart shirt sounds like farts when you move, so you can always just blame it on the shirt. Even when it was your butt.

SPEAKER_01

And we're back. Welcome back to Weird Dad and to my favorite segment of the episode.

SPEAKER_05

Yes, we get a chance to introduce these people to you, but we also want to introduce them to one another. So please welcome back to the show, Steve the Dragon and Cupid.

SPEAKER_02

Hello.

SPEAKER_03

Hi, nice to meet you.

SPEAKER_02

It's so nice to meet you.

SPEAKER_03

Mythical creature to mythical creature.

SPEAKER_02

I I love meeting a fellow flyer.

SPEAKER_03

A fellow flyer.

SPEAKER_02

A fellow flyer.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I fly around sometimes. You fly around sometimes. But I will say, since getting high, I'm just sort of like not really cool to be flying around the fly. It's alright to hide and fly. Honestly, no, you can't hide and fly.

SPEAKER_01

I respect high fly. You cannot F UI.

SPEAKER_05

Flying under the influence. I don't want to do that.

SPEAKER_03

So I stay grounded for the most part. But if I enough to fly to get something off the top shelf, there's nothing like pot to keep you grounded. Thank you. That's what I've been saying.

SPEAKER_01

Now, Steve, maybe you can help us with something because Cupid lost something of a treasure. Well, it was stolen. Sorry. I didn't mean to put the it was like.

SPEAKER_03

It wasn't lost, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it was stolen. Cupid had a treasure stolen from him. Yeah. And you are very good at finding treasure.

SPEAKER_03

I I, you know, I don't know if I'm good at finding it per se. I mean, I protect it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you're good at protecting it. I protect it.

SPEAKER_03

Protect it. How did you get it? That's a great question. You stole it back. Did you stole it? Yeah, I guess I did steal it.

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_03

No, we weren't doing a heist at the beach. But I mean we we I I I mean it was sort of ocean related.

SPEAKER_01

Ocean 11, Steve 11, okay.

SPEAKER_05

So an ocean and beach aren't necessarily the same as well.

SPEAKER_01

Not totally the same thing.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, because you could be in the ocean and not see a beach anywhere near you. You could have a beach at a lake. And you can have a beach at a lake.

SPEAKER_01

Right. Uh I am curious though. It's a little coincidental.

SPEAKER_06

In what way?

SPEAKER_01

Well, City just did a big heist.

SPEAKER_03

You think they're related to one another?

unknown

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03

It was always my fate-wise. Kind of like a fine eyes. So I can protect it, you know. Um right now I do have a big pile of gold.

SPEAKER_01

No, no, no, no. I I just wonder if if part of your high unknowingly stole Cupid's bow and arrow. I really need it back, and if you help me get it back, I'll make you a match.

SPEAKER_05

Interesting. Have you ever been in love?

SPEAKER_03

Have you ever been in love? Um I did kind of have a like Romeo and Juliet sort of situation with um uh Emma Thompson. Oh, yeah, Romeo and Juliet situation by the Queen.

I don't know what. Yeah, yeah. He was knighted. Um, who else? There were some interesting ones in there. I would oh, Mick Jagger. No one says Sir Mick Jagger, but Sir Mick has been knighted. Sir Mickie, which is interesting. Sir Mick's a lot. But uh yeah, me and um Emma Thompson, we had sort of a fling, sort of fling thing, but it didn't work out, you know. Ultimately, we're from two different situations.

SPEAKER_05

I mean, you like you said, it's a Roman Juliet situation. Yeah, yeah. Famously did not work out.

SPEAKER_01

Well, maybe if Cupid had been the one to initiate it, it could have worked. So are Sir Is there anyone you've had your eyes on in the afterlife? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I'm interested to know what Cupid might think. Because I mean, you're the expert, you're two, right? Is that I get that correct? So you've been around. I mean, you understand, like who do you kind of see?

SPEAKER_05

Let me I just want to go through those sentences again. You said you're the expert, you're two, you've been around. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

You know, for mythological creatures, I guess that makes more sense. I mean, I could break it down for you.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, that that's not a not a those are not human sentences. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_03

That's really interesting. I mean, what do you think about that, Rika?

SPEAKER_01

Well, um, I I I gotta reiterate that uh looking at your face occurred to my head. Interesting. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03

It gives you a quick little itch on the head.

SPEAKER_01

It makes this part of my head itch on the head. I do want to give you your own type of table.

SPEAKER_03

I do want to say I did Google that frog you were talking about, and I do not like it. I don't like it. And that's something we have in common.

SPEAKER_01

So I think it prerequisite, you know, I haven't had true love yet in my life that you have to look at someone's head to be in love. Is that something?

SPEAKER_05

Somebody that had true love back on Earth, it came up. It came up looking at it. How often? Uh daily.

SPEAKER_03

I would say another thing we have in common. I'm looking at your head. I'm a little itchy. Really? Yeah. Something itchy. Hold on. Just like look at just cover up the the scary part.

SPEAKER_02

This I could get used to. Okay. I know you wanted to be with George Bush, but no, I did not.

SPEAKER_01

Did you put out a ping page? Which one? George H.W. Bush, the one that's dead? Well, I don't have my arrow! I cannot express. I I I actually beg of you, do not contact George H.W. Bush on my behalf or George Washington or George Foreman or Wait a second, wait.

SPEAKER_03

Bow and air? A little bow and air? I do you know what? I might have accidentally taken a little bow and arrow, and I think I can get it back to you. I think I can get it back to you. I want you to be doing your good works once again.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_05

I don't want to be. That's kind of cool. George and the King of the Jungle?

SPEAKER_02

He's not, I don't, I don't want to.

SPEAKER_05

Especially if it's the Brendan Fraser version. If it's the Brendan Fraser. Sir Brendan Fraser? I don't think he is. He could be.

SPEAKER_01

Wait, listen, I know that that character canonically is dead.

SPEAKER_05

Well, yeah, because in the sequel, Brendan Fraser, he's not. It's not Brendan Fraser. It's not exactly.

SPEAKER_01

So thus the Brendan Fraser version is dead. If I can guarantee the Brendan Fraser version, I will give up George Washington Carver.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, we're moving on to George the Jungle, Brendan Fraser version. Wow. Brendan Fraser version. Fraser.

SPEAKER_01

Do not Fraser. No, no, no, no. I know canonically Fraser Crane dies at the end of Fraser. I love that episode. It's a really dark episode. It's so crazy. And then they retcon it in the reboot.

SPEAKER_03

Like, just kidding. They do it just kidding at the beginning of the reboot. Didn't he die when he was walking on a stage and fell through a hole? And he made a crazy case.

SPEAKER_01

Kelsey Grammar did fall through. Kelsey Grammar. He fell on a stage. But we don't even need to get it. I just set Kelsey Graham up. Yeah. She's been married quite a few times. I think eight times. Eight times? Well, I think a lot of times.

SPEAKER_03

You set him up again.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_05

But why do you shoot somebody that's been shot?

SPEAKER_01

Because I have the feeling and I have to follow it. Because of your feeling two to three times a day or whatever.

SPEAKER_03

I gotta say the couch is soaking wet.

SPEAKER_01

See, the diaper doesn't even have a function.

SPEAKER_03

Grapes.

SPEAKER_01

See, now you're on board. Before you were talking like there were different compartments and shit.

SPEAKER_03

I think it's full of grapes. I never said it wasn't. Hold on, hold on. Oh, it's actually just grape juice. Oh, he squished.

SPEAKER_01

But that's because he's sitting on them.

SPEAKER_03

Alright. Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Um I think maybe You're obsessed with what's in my diaper.

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

I honestly can't refute that. I guess I am. Because it feels to me cupid not to bust this thing wide open that you're just pissing and you assume it's finding true love. Wow. You assume that Tingly feeling is finding true love, but it's piss. And guess what? I piss.

SPEAKER_03

Cutting to the core, absolutely serving Rika right now.

SPEAKER_01

I don't think serving Rayka is being generous and kind to people.

SPEAKER_03

No, I think it's cutting to the core. Cutting to the core.

SPEAKER_01

Calling to the core imagining. Calling people out.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Asking what's in your diaper.

SPEAKER_05

This is classic Rayka. This is now Reka, you were wondering who you are. This is who you are.

SPEAKER_01

Stop it. This is not who I am.

SPEAKER_05

You cutting to the core, calling out people and their love life and their dietary habits. Okay. This is right up your alley.

SPEAKER_01

You're honestly overrepresenting fruit in your diet. Grapes and apple juice is your main diet. I mean, that's approach. That's a lot of fructose. Whose side are you on?

SPEAKER_05

I'm kind of just going with the flow.

unknown

Sick.

SPEAKER_02

100% fructose. I'm gonna set you up with air bud.

SPEAKER_06

With air bud?

SPEAKER_02

I will kill myself if you set me around.

SPEAKER_06

Airbuds a good guy. He's a good guy too.

SPEAKER_01

Earbud is obsessed with his work.

SPEAKER_03

He will never he's a mythical feature. He actually can fly. He is he can fly, he can play basketball, he can junk. I don't know. He's a workaholic. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

He'll never have time for a partner. It's true. He's a dog. Yeah. Not even in the way that is cool, like a D-O-D-G, like nasty.

SPEAKER_05

Also, Cupid, why would you do that to Earbud? Because you'll be damn that's shocking.

SPEAKER_01

You don't think I could be a basketball wife?

SPEAKER_05

I don't think you can be. I don't think you could be.

SPEAKER_02

That's actually true. Actually, I don't think you could be a basketball wife. Why? From what I know about you, you couldn't handle it. I can't handle it. You think I get jealous? I think you'd get jealous.

SPEAKER_05

I think you get jealous.

SPEAKER_01

And the cheerleaders and the dancers. You don't think I could.

SPEAKER_05

You don't think I don't think you would give Airbud his space any needs. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

He's gonna be, I mean, traveling with the team, you know.

SPEAKER_01

I don't mind.

SPEAKER_05

You don't mind.

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_05

You are already bothered, and this is a made-up scenario.

SPEAKER_02

Who else? Who else?

SPEAKER_05

Well, interesting.

SPEAKER_02

Um, there's a guy I saw. Um there's a guy.

SPEAKER_04

You're chopping in your punch.

SPEAKER_02

I saw Guy Fieri.

SPEAKER_03

Guy Fieri? Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Well, his brother who's dead.

SPEAKER_03

Oh.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, Manfieri.

SPEAKER_03

Manfieri. He's he's a little bit more proper.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but that's the whole appeal of the Fieri family. You want someone crazy, right?

SPEAKER_05

So you give me a you want dude Fieri.

SPEAKER_01

If I can't, I mean dude is too young. He's not died, he's not dead yet. Oh, actually, that could be good. What? You and Dude. Even though he's not dead? He's kind of like a maybe when he dies.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So I have to wait on potential of a man.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, we could get him killed. I mean, look, I could call up my buddy Idris Elba, also knighted, and tell him that he's a good one. That was a good one. No, no, no. He's he's knighted. And I can say, look, dude Fieri, he's a dragon. Now wait a minute.

SPEAKER_01

It seems like you had animosity with the knights before, but now you're calling them up.

SPEAKER_03

Look, some of them are my buds. Wow. Idris Elba, Tweekie. You know, you know Twiggy. Oh yeah, me and Twiggy. We go way back. I mean, of course, Twiggy was like, oh, kidnap me, can't me. We kidnapped for a set for a little bit. Oh, she was a damsel and she was.

SPEAKER_05

Sort of casual. Kind of um a uh, and I should know the word for this when you kidnap somebody and they become a fan of yours. Oh Stockholm Syndrome.

SPEAKER_03

Stockholm Syndrome. Yeah, you could say that, sure. I mean, she loved swimming in my pile of gold like Scrooge McDuck.

SPEAKER_01

Right. Also in the afterlife.

SPEAKER_03

Which also assert. Oh, wait a minute. Now we're now this could be a match for Rayka.

SPEAKER_01

Scrooge McDuck.

SPEAKER_03

Scrooge McDuck.

SPEAKER_01

That's interesting. It's canon canonically he died at the end of the channel.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, DuckTale. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Diving in. He died. He dove in.

SPEAKER_03

He drowned, I believe. I believe he drowned.

SPEAKER_01

And he never learned a lesson.

SPEAKER_03

That's right. I mean, he's look, he's got money, which I know you love. You love it. You're always talking about money. It's not like traveling around with you in any way.

SPEAKER_05

Who is Reka? She needs money.

SPEAKER_01

He doesn't have a job.

SPEAKER_02

He's just uh he's old money.

SPEAKER_03

He's independently.

SPEAKER_02

If you go want to be going around Scrooge McDuck, I'll fly around and see if I get the feeling. You'll fly around and see if you get the feeling with Scrooge McDuck and me.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, if you just fly around long enough, you'll probably get the feeling.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, fly around for six to eight hours. That's what usually happens. Just fly as long as you're flying and eating grapes, you feel me drinking a ton of juice and you just kind of wait it out. Something's gonna happen.

SPEAKER_05

Then you can become Rayka McDuck. That's a great. I do like it.

SPEAKER_03

I do like that a lot.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, maybe.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, but I there is one. Oh god, there's one problem. There's a problem. Scrooge McDuck does have a bunch of holes in his back for Huey Dewey and Louie. They don't show it on the show, but because he's always wearing that overcoat. He's always wearing the overcoat, but he does have the holes in his back. So how often do you have to look at your partner's back?

SPEAKER_05

Um that's a great question. Just when you're screwing McDuck. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Just when I'm screwing him? I'm looking at his back.

SPEAKER_06

He's very into uh pegging.

SPEAKER_01

Well, yeah, yeah. And I I'm I'm on board. I'm just understanding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. He's always trying to bend himself over. Bend at an angle where it's like kind of a plane that's like a little cloaca thing.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, it's really the cloaca situation.

SPEAKER_05

It's a cloaca thing. Which is a unique hole. No, that's an interesting thing because cloaca actually reduces the number of holes on a creature.

SPEAKER_01

And I have to tell you, Walid literally only just learned this. He's acting, he's acting like this is something he knew.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, during all the breaks, he's brought up cloacas like six times.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he found out last week. This is like a little kid that finds out that, you know, whatever, Saturn has rings, and then they spring it up and everything.

SPEAKER_05

As somebody who's afraid of holes, a cloaca is like your has got to be your favorite thing.

SPEAKER_01

It's not that I need fewer holes. It's just all holes are nasty. So it's not like you need a multi-tool hole.

SPEAKER_03

That's interesting.

SPEAKER_01

To fix the focus.

SPEAKER_05

I'm just saying the fewer holes are better for you.

SPEAKER_03

Cutting to the core once again.

SPEAKER_01

Who has the least holes?

SPEAKER_05

That's a great question. Here? Yeah, keep you away. Jump! Keep you away from Spongebob. Job of the hut.

SPEAKER_01

Jump of the hut. People don't know canonically at the end of Star Wars.

SPEAKER_03

No, well, he dies pretty early in uh return of the church.

SPEAKER_01

How does he die?

SPEAKER_03

Uh he's choked to death by Princess Leia. Oh she has like a um a cool costume on. Yeah. And uh it's kind of like a bikini, and then she's chained up on his barge, and then like they get the drop on him, she wraps her chains around his neck and kills him.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, so he's kind of a beta.

SPEAKER_03

He he loves he loves the chains and stuff.

SPEAKER_01

And no holes? No holes.

SPEAKER_03

No holes? I mean, he has a mouth. He has a mouth and eyes. That's a hole you can deal with. Wait.

SPEAKER_01

He has little nostrils. He got a job? Maybe not.

SPEAKER_03

Does he have a job? I mean, he is a huge crime lord. Uh he's like the secure.

SPEAKER_05

If you don't think Scrooge McDuck isn't a crime lord, you're out of your fucking head.

SPEAKER_01

Scrooge McDuck did not earn his money, honestly. Give me a break. Come on. Oh, yeah. That is blood money.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, absolutely. Who has new as holes?

SPEAKER_01

Cobalt.

SPEAKER_03

I was gonna say slimer, but I think he has the same amount of holes as Job of the Hunt.

SPEAKER_01

Are we really thinking of eyes as holes?

SPEAKER_06

No, we're mostly just trying to think of people for you. And slimer, job of the hut.

SPEAKER_03

Like who doesn't have a butthole or a peephole? Um like a Kirby. A whoom! Kirby. But but the problem with Kirby is like his one hole kind of gives him really big.

SPEAKER_01

Canonically, Kirby dies at the end of Super Smash Brothers. If you beat the game, he kills himself.

SPEAKER_03

There's a really sad scene where he's like, I can't keep swallowing stuff. I've sucked too many people.

SPEAKER_02

You think you would die by choking your death, but what about a what about a worm?

SPEAKER_05

Ooh, worms are basically holeless. A worm could be good. I don't even know how worms procreate. But you could be you could figure that out. You could totally figure that out.

SPEAKER_01

I could see you with a worm. Is there a worm we know of? Or is this just there's earthworm gym.

SPEAKER_03

Earthworm gym.

SPEAKER_01

There is um you think I could land Earthworm Jim?

SPEAKER_03

I mean, if Cupid is involved.

SPEAKER_01

Earthworm Jim canonically he dies at the end of the game.

SPEAKER_03

It's really tough. It's so one of the weirdest Sega Genesis games.

SPEAKER_07

It's so strange.

SPEAKER_03

Well, he dies and he dies constantly throughout if you're playing. Ooh, there's also there's also Heidi Klum from that Halloween party.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, we haven't talked about how for video game characters. There are literally millions.

SPEAKER_01

Because it's all the people who are bad players.

SPEAKER_03

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, there's so many dogs. Oh, you know what?

SPEAKER_03

There's of course um Shy Halud, the um the worms from Dune. Which has one very toothy hole.

SPEAKER_02

What do you think of that?

SPEAKER_03

They're huge. They're like my size, 600 feet. I like it. Okay. This I think is good.

SPEAKER_00

He's shy. I want to make sure again.

SPEAKER_03

He's shy. Shy halo.

SPEAKER_01

Do you need me?

SPEAKER_03

I'm in the sand. Tap twice if you need to need me.

SPEAKER_01

Otherwise, I'm shy.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, okay. Well, we'll try and get you your bow and arrow back and we can set up Ray and Shia.

SPEAKER_03

That would be really good.

SPEAKER_01

Wow. I do feel this has been really productive. I totally agree. We've learned dragons are chill. Dragons are chill. And Cupid is gonna get his bow and arrow back.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Problem solved. Episode over.

SPEAKER_01

Episode over. Thank you guys so much for being here.

SPEAKER_05

Thank you.

SPEAKER_01

And hey, they say you only live once, but then there's the afterlife. I'm Reka Shunker.

SPEAKER_05

And I'm Ali Mansur, and we're dad.
