And would you?

SPEAKER_04

I would absolutely add those.

SPEAKER_01

I said them. Don't look at me. How about this? Fresh start. What do we got to do to get a fresh start with one another?

SPEAKER_04

I don't know, man. I think it's rotten to the core. You think it's rotten to the core.

SPEAKER_01

It can't be rotten to the core. I don't know. Let's play an icebreaker. Okay. I know we've known each other for years, but let's play an icebreaker to maybe like learn something new about one another. And occasionally I know that when we learn new information about it, it makes you like them less. Yeah, that's true. But let's do one where let's do classic two truths and a lie.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Oh wait, this is hard because there's gonna be a lot of thinking time.

SPEAKER_01

Uh no, just say off the cuff. Off the cuff. Okay. Okay. So I'll you want me to go first? Sure. That gives you more thinking time. Sure. Okay. Um I have been to 35 plus of the states in the United States. Um I am a black belt in Taekwondo. And I am currently seeing one of your family members.

SPEAKER_04

You are not a black belt in Taekwondo.

SPEAKER_01

I am a black belt in Taekwondo.

SPEAKER_04

That's not evident in any way. Don't display any of the qualities of someone who has a black belt.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Explain to me who somebody with a black belt what their deal is.

SPEAKER_04

They are helping people. They're saving people.

SPEAKER_01

They're saving people in the afterlife. You want me to save people?

SPEAKER_04

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Um well, I know you're fucking dating my great grandma grandma.

SPEAKER_01

No, you are. No, I'm not. I'm not. See, that was the lie. I'm not. First of all, we're not even 100% sure that they're related to you. And second of all, I'm not dating them. Okay.

SPEAKER_04

What are you doing? You keep going to movies. Didn't you go to a candle-lit dinner?

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Show me a dinner without candles nowadays.

SPEAKER_04

That's crazy. There's so many dinners that don't have candles. Sometimes lunch? There's a perfectly good example of a dinner that doesn't have candles.

SPEAKER_01

It's lunch. Exactly. That's not a dinner, though. That's a lunch.

SPEAKER_04

I don't think chilies has candles.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no, we didn't go to Chili's. We went somewhere nice.

SPEAKER_04

That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_01

It's platonic, okay?

SPEAKER_04

Like the show platonic.

SPEAKER_01

It's I haven't seen the show platonic, but it's probably like that. Exactly. It's possible to be friends and be single, and you're a man and woman. Harry about Sally, right?

SPEAKER_04

They don't they end up like obviously very much going to get together.

SPEAKER_01

Is that really how it ends?

SPEAKER_04

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Well that's what's the point of that movie?

SPEAKER_04

Just funny.

SPEAKER_01

Just funny.

SPEAKER_04

Just one of the funny things. Okay. Okay. My two three just in alive. Um, I have Okay. I have never been to Texas. I uh I don't like a dragon fruit. And I I have never dyed my uh I've dyed my hair.

SPEAKER_01

And you have dyed your hair.

SPEAKER_04

And I've dyed my hair.

SPEAKER_01

What? I feel like all those are lies. I know you've been to Texas.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

I'm be very surprised if you dyed your hair. I really am surprised if you dyed your hair. And then there's no way you don't like dragon fruit. Dragon fruit is for people like you.

SPEAKER_04

What does that mean? What does that mean?

SPEAKER_01

What does that mean? Like vegetarians and stuff.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Why else would it exist?

SPEAKER_04

So pick one. What do you think?

SPEAKER_01

If I really have to pick one that's a lie, I really think you've been to Texas. I feel like you've been to like a comedy festival there. So that would r that one bit would surprise me the most. I'm gonna go with Texas.

SPEAKER_04

Correct.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

I've been to Texas.

SPEAKER_01

So you have dyed your hair?

SPEAKER_04

Well, I highlighted it.

SPEAKER_01

That I was really sad.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. I was really sad and I highlighted it. And I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

If anyone has- Um, they were like like a lighter brown. Lighter brown.

SPEAKER_04

Um, I think it looked disgusting, and I think I need advice from any curly haired girlies that have highlighted their hair if highlights also look disgusting and stripy on them, because mine looked disgusting, and I'm never doing it again.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I will say I have a feeling that I honestly mostly this is mostly for older men, but I do generalize this a little bit more where I think most people look better with their natural hair color.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I really do believe that. But I'm and especially 55-year-old men, it's okay to have gray hair.

SPEAKER_04

It's if especially men, everybody's obsessed with it.

SPEAKER_01

Versus jet black shoe polish or the brownest brown hair you've ever seen.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, it's tough.

SPEAKER_01

And when you have short hair, within six hours, there's gray poking out of the roots.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Give me a break. It's tough. So we know each other better now, right? Fresh start.

SPEAKER_04

Why do you think I like dragon fruit? Dragonfruit's nasty, it has no flavor, it's all uh appearances, no taste.

SPEAKER_01

And you want me to answer why I think that applies to you?

SPEAKER_04

You think I'm so obsessed with my image. Me. You think me, I'm so obsessed with how I look. What? Just because my green room is decked out in diamonds? And then I don't have taste.

SPEAKER_01

Diamonds mean nothing here. You can conjure them and say, I have no taste. It's I mean, t not no taste. You have taste, but it might be of an ilk that I don't care for. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04

Like what? What's something I've had good uh I sorry, just automatically was about to say good before taste because that's what I think about myself. What is something you think I've had probably bedazzling your green room. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I'm not a big fan of bedazzling.

SPEAKER_04

Okay, name something else.

SPEAKER_01

Name something else. Okay.

SPEAKER_04

If you comment on my sweater, I'll kill you.

SPEAKER_01

I love that sweater. Men. Men. Taste in men. Bad taste in men. Poor taste in men.

SPEAKER_04

I would argue that my taste in men is good until the taste goes sour.

SPEAKER_01

You're saying.

SPEAKER_04

Until it curdles.

SPEAKER_01

I see. I see. You're saying your taste is men is is good, but it's the aftertaste almost.

SPEAKER_04

It's the aftertaste that I don't have a control over.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, that's not your fault.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's not my fault. I don't control that drinking orange juice after chewing gum is nasty.

SPEAKER_01

Orange juice is good. Gum good. You have good taste.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Does those do those things work well together? No, that's not my fault. That's chemistry.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, Mickey the Slick, though, he was just he was a rotten apple from the start.

SPEAKER_04

We have to admit that that was a that was a tough one to call, though. You know?

SPEAKER_01

The guy named Mickey the Slick that had slime all over his back, that was tough to call whether or not he was good taste.

SPEAKER_04

You don't know what our one-on-one relationship was like at all.

SPEAKER_01

You know what? You never told me about it. Just tell me one special thing that was nice that he did for you that would make the average person go, aw, Mickey.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. So we had a candle at dinner once because he was uh burning some like tax papers and stuff over a trash can. Okay, so tax lifting. But he had brought Del Taco, Afterlife Dell del Taco, of course, which does still have Beyond Me, which is awesome. And even though we don't need to eat here, I thought it was just a nice gesture. Uh and I was even able to try some of his.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

It was a really nice date.

SPEAKER_01

Which part? Wait, which part? Wait, which part? I genuinely sorry, I was I was sitting here listening to the show. I saw you fucking fingering your shoe. I was waiting. I was waiting for the nice part. Which part? Wait. I sorry, genuinely asked, which part was the nice part? The taco?

SPEAKER_04

He the whole part was the nice part.

SPEAKER_01

Which part? I I genuinely asked you, which part was the nice part?

SPEAKER_04

Fucking fondling your shoe to fruition. You can't listen to my story.

SPEAKER_01

Listen to the story. He was burning taxes, he got you Del Taco, which is afterlife Del Taco.

SPEAKER_04

Which is afterlife Del Taco, which has the Beyond Meat.

SPEAKER_01

Which has the Beyond Meat.

SPEAKER_04

And so he let me try some of his. And he let me try some of his.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, oh, he didn't get any for you.

SPEAKER_04

He got three for himself, but he let me try some.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. And that kind of sums up your taste in mana.

SPEAKER_04

Beyond meat? Holy crap. If I could find a man that matches Beyond Meat's taste, I'd be in heaven, which doesn't exist.

SPEAKER_01

Well, we got a guest coming, and maybe his he tastes like Beyond Meat. We'll see.

SPEAKER_04

I think I think that could be a possibility. Please welcome Shorty Pinecone.

SPEAKER_05

Hello. Thanks for having me.

SPEAKER_04

Thank you for being here, Shorty.

SPEAKER_05

Thanks for having me. What's Beyond Meat?

SPEAKER_04

Ooh, okay. So I'm a vegetarian, so I don't eat meat, but Beyond Meat is sort of like a engineered meat. It's like engineered.

SPEAKER_01

I'm kind of an engineer in something. You're an engineer. Well chemical, aeronautical. Kind of chemical. Kind of chemical.

SPEAKER_05

Kind of chemical. Kind of chemical. I'm well um my before I was here in this place I don't fully understand how I got to. I I was in uh I was in the foothills and I was uh uh using using some uh chemistry and I was making up something called moonshine.

SPEAKER_01

Moonshine moonshine I've never tried moonshine, but I've heard a lot about it. I feel like it's featured a lot in put some hair on your chest. Put your trust me, I got hair on my chest.

SPEAKER_04

Wait, what is put your hair?

SPEAKER_01

Put some hair on your chest. Put your hair on your chest.

SPEAKER_04

Makes you like it's like it just puts it.

SPEAKER_01

If you don't have some, it'll put some there. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Okay, so it's a chemical accent. Okay. What is in moonshine? I've always wondered.

SPEAKER_05

Moonshine's not that different from any other alcohol. A lot of alcohol is just you take some kind of vegetable or some kind of uh food and you let it sit or you bowl it and then eventually potato right now. Oh, like a potato, like vodka is a potato. Um moonshine's corn, I think.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Um I forgot. SAT style-wise, vodka is the potato as Moonshine is too potato. I remember that being on the SATs. Yeah. Gosh.

SPEAKER_05

I mean, I'm gonna take them one day. You don't have to. But I don't want to miss out. You know, sometimes you miss out on things and you wish, gosh, gosh, I wish I'd study harder in school, and I wish I wish I took that test because it tests the test part looks so fun.

SPEAKER_01

But you know what? You're still doing science. You're probably doing more difficult science than a lot of people who did well on the SATs. Thank you. I feel like there is something to applying your skills and not just seeing what it's like in a school, classroom. Of course. That was I think that was always kind of my issue. I was just sitting in the, I was looking out the window panel and bored, looking up, I could see my still. You were making you were making moonshine when you were in school? Yeah, when I started from about 14 on, I was uh I was uh making that's why that's why I got the nickname Shorty because I was a 14-year-old.

SPEAKER_05

I wasn't full grown yet.

SPEAKER_04

What's short what's your real name?

SPEAKER_01

Uh it's Tolly. Tolly Pinecone. It's funny because it's a lot of things. Is Pinecone a nickname or Pinecone's my last name. I like the last name.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's beautiful.

SPEAKER_01

It's not spelled how you think it is. We'll have to ask I. Yeah. Yeah. You can guess.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

P-I-Wow.

SPEAKER_01

Well, that helps me. I spell it. That's not how you think of it. Okay, right. Okay. What other sounds make P?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, good fucking line.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. I'm gonna start with B. And then a P, of course. Like, and then probably like a German style, so E-I N. Fine. Uh Cone, cone.

SPEAKER_04

Maybe like the Jewish last name. Cone.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, well, I'm gonna rock a K, though.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Alright. K-O-H-N. I'm gonna sandwich the B. With a B at the end? That's correct.

SPEAKER_04

Excellent. Wow, you're right. I couldn't have guessed that.

SPEAKER_01

Didn't have guessed it. I'm sorry. I think it's what's so fun is we put your name below, and so all the listeners and viewers will know how to have spelled it before. I mean, uh it's it's look, I how could you have known it didn't have it in front of you in physical space? Some that a sort of a digital Chiron. Chiron, yes.

SPEAKER_04

Now I'm so curious. What what time period are you from?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I'm from well, I I guess I was born in 59. Which one? Uh 18.

unknown

Oh.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. 1859. Whoa. Right around civil war time. Right around civil war time. So I was like in my classroom, like, I'm bored on it. And uh, I was just just ready to get out of there. Yeah. And um I lot about I guess when I died, it was 1960. Whoa.

SPEAKER_03

So you died old.

SPEAKER_01

Some people say moonshine's good for you, some people say it's not. She lived to be 103? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

So you were holy cow. Okay. You were making alcohol at a time when I I don't I don't know what the industry was like in the 1850s, but certainly for moonshine and for kids making moonshine, I have to imagine you're kind of one of a kind.

SPEAKER_05

I mean, you know, there wasn't it's not like it is nowadays where you go into a Kroger and there's they have they have moonshine on the shelf and it's like There's only moonshine at Kroger now?

SPEAKER_01

Well, well, it's like in parentheses, like it doesn't have the ball, it doesn't have the moon. Moonshine drink. It's not kind of like cheeky. Let's just say it won't put the hair on your chest. Okay, okay. What percentage are we talking when you're making it? 99. Oh man That'll put the hair on your chest. Or is it 188 ABV?

SPEAKER_04

I think it'll be 99 ABV. ABV, right?

SPEAKER_01

Is it doubled? How does the proof work? Uh that's not that's we don't know. I'll send you an email. Okay. 99% alcohol? That will put hair on your chest. Yeah. But I'm shocked it didn't kill you earlier. Oh, well, this is a big here's a big question. Yeah. Did you get high on your own supply? Look, I I always did it responsibly. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

And that continued on into my 50s, and and that lasted for five decades of responsible drinking. And let's just say I maybe made a mistake at 103. Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Moonshine killed you.

SPEAKER_05

You made a mistake. I think, well, I did, I was I'm not gonna say I was complete stone cold sober. I'm not gonna say that because I'm not I'm not here to lie to you guys.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. But I was working on it. And still working on it. I was well, you know, I think you gotta have a routine if you're gonna stay alive. Um, you know, you hear all these people retiring and then they don't know what to do with themselves, and then they're dropped. They just decide to die. Yeah, they decide to be dead. They got no purpose.

SPEAKER_05

They got no purpose. It was like purpose.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. No purpose like work. No purpose like work. But hey, you gotta make the work fun. Did you love it? I loved it. Until it blew me to fucking smithereens.

SPEAKER_00

Wait, yeah, what happened?

SPEAKER_01

Well, I so I hit the Bunsen burner with my elbow while I was dancing to the cha cha. And uh you were making it fun. I was making it fun, and that I didn't even notice because I was I was learning it. And uh it's that that you know, that part of the song. It's like, do the do the cha do the the you know, it's like mu it's one part of a live cha cha. We're talking about the cha-cha slide, yeah. So this is interesting.

SPEAKER_04

You were trying to learn a dance that's entirely instructions, yeah. And you don't need to learn because as you just listen as it's going along.

SPEAKER_01

Well, what if you but then you then you're a step behind everyone? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, you ever go to like a line dancing if someone knows it better, and then you're you're just like you're behind. Absolutely. I don't like that. No, you want to be on top of it, you want to be leading. You want people who are looking at you going, how do I learn? Well, this isn't not his first time. It's not his first one.

SPEAKER_04

This is also helpful to know because I feel like people think the Sha Shall slide was written in like the 90s or 2000s. It was in the 60s. 60s. It was 60s. It's a 60s sound. Listen to this the fidelity.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Thank you. People are listening to on records, eight tracks, yeah. I was watching, I was watching Johnny Carson.

SPEAKER_04

You had a busy laboratory watching Johnny Carson. No, that's where I was learning the cha-cha song. Got it, got it, got it.

SPEAKER_01

And uh, and that's when I hit the Bunsen burner. I didn't realize it. I was like, what's gonna smell? And then I just felt alcohol at that high purity is gonna be explosive.

SPEAKER_05

Extremely explosive. Moves mountains. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Now you were making moonshine during the prohibition.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. What was that like? Well, uh, during that time, everyone got real secretive and sort of like it's it was a there was something sort of nostalgic about it once we got into the 60s and stuff, but where it was just like you could hide like, let's just say like this, if you just like you know, it's like this is hidden alcohol.

SPEAKER_04

And it would be so in, I would just think that that's a man drinking a pillow. I wouldn't think that that's a guy drinking.

SPEAKER_01

You're like, you can't like a police officer comes in and sees you just chugging this. He's like, Well, that's just a guy drinking feathers, you know. So your favorite part of Prohibition was hiding alcohol and things.

SPEAKER_05

Hiding alcohol. I mean, think about it. What was that part of your job?

SPEAKER_04

We don't hide stuff. We don't hide everything.

SPEAKER_01

What's the last thing you hid? Gosh. Oh, man. I mean, I I play hide and seek. Uh I play I when I was alive, I played hide and seek with my children, and uh the older one would go hide, and I would hide my little baby in like a corner.

SPEAKER_04

Is that okay?

SPEAKER_01

It would be quick. I think that's cool, but I'm thinking of something more like not so temporary, something like a long term mistakes, like hiding your keys somewhere. Yeah. Like in a rock.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, you hide your key in like a rock or like a big turtle sculpture or something. Yes.

SPEAKER_05

Big turtle sculpture.

SPEAKER_01

I love fake, I love fake safes. A fake safe. Like a safe that like it looks like it's books. Oh, yeah. I like it when you uh yeah, you take a picture off the wall and there's there's the safe right there. Or a smaller picture. Or a little tiny picture. That's just for you.

SPEAKER_03

That's just for you. That's only for you.

SPEAKER_00

I love a picture of that. That's your beloved, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Wow. I I'm loving where this conversation's going. So you're hiding it in all sorts of places. Did you did you ever get into like a sticky situation where it was like, uh uh, yes, please.

SPEAKER_01

So I was just sitting there one day and uh, you know, I was making some injured. I was a little drunk.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And uh and then I hear the whoop whooping of refrain refrain, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

A whoop whoop of a of a police officer and his sheriff coming in, and he was like, Hey, hi, shorty, what are you up to? And I was like, Me, nothing, nothing, nothing at all. Come in, come on in.

SPEAKER_01

And he came to my house and he sat down, and I realized everything he was touching was alcohol. And it was sort of he was in a rocking chair. Made of echo. Like, thank God you didn't have like a heart monitor on other beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep.

SPEAKER_05

And you know, it'd probably be made of alcohol.

SPEAKER_00

And it would be made of alcohol.

SPEAKER_01

And I so I was like, I'm just having I'm sweating bullets, I'm having this conversation with him, and I can't figure out if he's even realized it. Uh, and then I realized I come to find out he's actually there to buy some moonshine, so it didn't really matter.

SPEAKER_04

He's a different cop.

SPEAKER_01

I gave him the rocking chair. You gave him the rocking chair.

SPEAKER_04

How much alcohol can you fit in a rocking chair? I've always wondered.

SPEAKER_01

I'm gonna say 18 flow ounces.

SPEAKER_04

18 flow ounces.

SPEAKER_05

Flo ounces? Flo ounces. Well, it's uh it's it's flow, right? When it says F L O Z.

SPEAKER_04

It's short for it's it's no, it is not. It's flu.

SPEAKER_01

Flu. It's flounces. It's flow. Flo ounces. 18 flounces. That's actually not as much as I would expect in a huge rocking chair. Well, a lot of it's wood, and so it's just sort of like a wood.

SPEAKER_04

So so you're finding areas that you can hollow out to put alcohol in.

SPEAKER_01

So you're also kind of inventing storage devices as well. You know, I haven't even thought of it that way. But yes, yeah, you're I'm you're just kind of uh you're you're inventing sort of canisters for your alcohol. Yes. Wow. Because otherwise you usually are you using when it's not prohibition, are you using big jars with X?

SPEAKER_05

I've never used a cup in my life.

SPEAKER_01

You're using big jars. Yeah, using I've used in big jars, uh X's all over. I'm I I've continued to use furniture that's hollowed out. You still do it.

SPEAKER_04

You pointed to this chair.

unknown

Stop.

SPEAKER_01

Let's for later. There's a little bit of a gift here.

SPEAKER_04

What?

SPEAKER_01

Hey, don't shorty. Hey, don't don't sit and drive, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04

Can I try some? Is that okay?

SPEAKER_01

You're gonna try some. You're gonna put some hair on your chest. Hey, be careful now.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Wait, does this look suspicious? Hold on.

SPEAKER_01

Does it look suspicious? The answer is yes.

SPEAKER_04

I have to tell you. I have to tell you. That fully tastes like barf. It tastes like I thought you were gonna say bark. When no, when you have eaten nothing and you have you have like a stomach bug and you throw up bile, that's what it tastes like. It's so acidic.

SPEAKER_01

Well, did it? I One question for you. Did it put some hair? Well, I think that would be a yes. I think that's a yes. Look, I mean, I I I think that's the thing about moonshine. It's not it's not there for um um the wide like uh uh a wider market's maybe gonna find it a little bit troublesome.

SPEAKER_04

It's not a Miller light. Like it goes it's like requires nothing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Do you make different versions of moonshine or is it just like whatever comes out, that's what it tastes like. Sometimes you do a pear one. A pear corn. It's pear corn.

SPEAKER_03

Pear corn. Yeah. Who was this?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that was uh that was just regular corn mixed with a little bit of shit.

SPEAKER_05

Mixed with a little bit of shit? That's so so so sometimes you throw people off with one that stinks.

SPEAKER_01

I kind of forgot that that was only when you asked me that did I realize. Oh, I did the bad one.

SPEAKER_04

Why do you need to throw people off with it?

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_01

That sounds incredible.

SPEAKER_04

That's so cool. It's so funny to think what people imagine.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's I I don't think of the 40s as a time where they were thinking about robots.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, like robot, the concept of a robot is so different.

SPEAKER_01

But they definitely like, you know, like all the science fiction writers before then, robots had been the idea of robots had been around for a bit.

SPEAKER_04

And Scientology.

SPEAKER_01

And Scientology was just coming about. Yeah. We're coming around the corner.

SPEAKER_02

I I went to one of the meetings. You went to one of the Scientology. I walk in, something's hooked to my head. I said, I need to get out of here now. Good call.

SPEAKER_04

I think that's good. I I at very least I think they ask now before doing that, but I actually don't know.

SPEAKER_02

I got my friend Debbie.

SPEAKER_01

So you how long were you um I don't know bluesy? How long were you on the farm?

SPEAKER_02

I was on the farm for two months. Two months.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, okay. I thought it was gonna be much longer.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, two months, but that was enough. Well, yeah, what was giving you the blues? Oh well, I had just had my third divorce. Couldn't have children. Doctors wouldn't tell me why, they wouldn't see me.

SPEAKER_01

They knew, but they wouldn't tell me. They knew.

SPEAKER_02

They said we have it right here in this envelope.

SPEAKER_04

I hate when doctors do that. They hide that shit in the envelope. What? And they would go, it's right here. It's right here, and then you jump, and then they're tall, they're always taller, and then you can't reach it.

SPEAKER_02

And it's hard because I'm tall, my doctor couldn't even imagine.

SPEAKER_01

That sucks. That sucks where you're like, I'm trying to see the doctor. They're like, we don't have one tall enough for you, actually.

SPEAKER_04

I think this is a disgusting practice that doctors do.

SPEAKER_01

Really, really gross. Just in case we need to hide it.

SPEAKER_02

You can doctor see one, but you have to get it.

SPEAKER_04

Absolutely. So the way I found out my depression diagnosis is I kicked her in the knees. I kicked her behind the knees. You kicked her?

SPEAKER_02

I kicked her.

SPEAKER_04

I heard it all today.

SPEAKER_02

I kicked her behind the knees. Are you sure you don't have a cigarette? I don't I'm so marijuana.

SPEAKER_04

I don't have marijuana. We don't we actually say I'll front ledge you. We have nothing relating to drugs.

SPEAKER_01

I have nothing that will get you high.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Alright. Okay. So you had it for a couple months. Yes.

SPEAKER_02

And then it subsided. Well, before that, I was in a show. Oh, great. You guys know it. We haven't said what it is. Oh, I thought you knew. I was famously in Randy's Beautiful House. Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Randy's Beautiful House. Yes.

SPEAKER_02

Um, on Broadway first. 30 days total.

SPEAKER_01

Were you on in the original cast?

SPEAKER_02

Yes. And you said you were on it for three days? 30 days. That's the show ran for 30 days, and then they said, get it out of here now. Because as you know, Randy was a predator in the show.

SPEAKER_04

It's so tough because he's a predator in the show, but he's a predator as an actor. So it's like really classic example of hiding in plain sight. Yeah. The show is a bad man.

SPEAKER_01

And for a while he just called it method acting. Yeah. It's like that doesn't really fucking count.

SPEAKER_02

And he was your third husband. And everyone said, That man's a predator. I said, I'll change him. I didn't. No. I didn't. You really can't change those third husbands.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. So Randy's beautiful house.

SPEAKER_02

Which is about a predator.

SPEAKER_04

Which is about a predator.

SPEAKER_01

Star to predator. Star to predator. And me. And you and the predator. And what did you play?

SPEAKER_02

I played, I was the farm keeper.

SPEAKER_01

The farm keeper. Right.

SPEAKER_02

But Randy's beautiful house was a farm.

SPEAKER_01

Is it was it very bizarre that you then ended up on a farm shortly after?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. It was a little bit too much. Yeah. Because then when I was on the farm, they would find me singing my famous song, Randy, I can't clean the house today. And they come and they say, You're not in the play right now. No. You're not in the music club right now, Eleanor.

SPEAKER_04

You said they. This farm you're on. Is this something that you just knowing what I know about the 40s and the 50s and and women being treated poorly then? Is this something you like went to to relax or were you brought there in some capacity? No one's ever asked. I was brought there.

SPEAKER_01

You were brought there.

SPEAKER_02

Randy sent me there.

SPEAKER_01

Said you're getting too bluesy. You're getting too bluesy.

SPEAKER_04

Randy, the the audacity. His show about him being a predator that is based on his real behavior gets kicked off Broadway early. And he sends you to a farm. That's nuts. He needs to take his goddamn attitude to a farm.

SPEAKER_02

Thank you. He should have followed me right to the Well, I don't know. And he probably did follow you. He's a predator. You know, so you know the musical.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

You know the first song. It's it's stuck around. Can you believe he walks right out? I'm gonna get them all. I'm a predator.

SPEAKER_04

It's so crazy. That's the first song.

SPEAKER_01

That one really struck through the even though it was only on Broadway for 30 days, it really People really love that one. Well, I don't know if that's why it stuck around. I think it was more like the uh the sitcom that's like hit Heil Hitler, I'm home. Have you heard of Hitler?

SPEAKER_02

I've heard of that. Who? Hitler. No, I know Hitler. Oh, was around, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

There was a sitcom about I died before the war ended, though.

SPEAKER_02

Yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_01

But there was a sitcom about Hitler. It ended. It ended, don't worry. Thank you. He killed himself.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I haven't seen him up here. I've been grateful.

SPEAKER_01

No, I think some hell.

SPEAKER_04

Okay, good. Which is awesome because sometimes there's people here that should not be here.

SPEAKER_01

I wouldn't believe how many people are up here and not down there.

SPEAKER_02

My twin sister is up here.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, wait, and uh She should be in hell. We were surprised, like we knew who she is.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but I guess I was I I was just surprised because whenever someone has a twin, it feels like they should have told me, but I know that's not that's not verbally.

SPEAKER_02

No, I don't I should know that. You should know.

SPEAKER_04

It's not a realistic expectation.

SPEAKER_02

My twin I thought she'd be, I said she's in hell. Also, ah, she's behind me, jump scare. She's behind me.

SPEAKER_01

Why did you think she was supposed to be in hell?

SPEAKER_02

She's an awful witch. When I was sent to the farm, swooped in, married Randy, the predator. Swooped in like on a broomstick or like she's a literal witch. Yes. She swooped in, she married him.

SPEAKER_01

Which is kind of honestly did you a favor.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but she's still a witch.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but she doesn't, you know, you shouldn't steal steal your twin's predator's predator. You steal your girl, your man. Steal your twin's predator. Don't be doing that.

SPEAKER_04

It's so gauche.

SPEAKER_01

Oh.

SPEAKER_04

Wow. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

So you cut you came back from you're on the farm.

SPEAKER_02

I'm on the farm. You make it back. I get I get picked up one day. They said, I don't know, are you leaving today?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, okay. It was I said, Great. Catcha. I thought maybe you escaped.

SPEAKER_02

I get back. I'm thinking everyone's gonna welcome you with open arms. Wrong. Everyone, you're washed up, disgusting. It's been two months!

SPEAKER_04

This is a good thing. It's about three years in the industry. Yeah. It's so sick to my men. Yes. I went, I had a cold two days. Someone told me that's a good one.

SPEAKER_02

My friend died from that cold.

SPEAKER_04

What?

SPEAKER_01

From that cold. She died from a cold.

SPEAKER_03

That's awesome.

SPEAKER_01

Wait, wait, wait. Okay. So what maybe this doesn't matter, but did you like what how old were you at the time? Um I was 41 because I died when I was 42. Wow. Yeah. Okay. So you died. Oh, wait, uh oh. So you came back from the farm, and then what?

SPEAKER_02

And then I said, I will prove you all wrong. You were hoping she just died right after the farm. No, I said I'm getting back on the wagon. And I did. I got back on the wagon in the musical revival of wagon.

SPEAKER_04

You were in the revival. That makes sense.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I was supposed to be. I opening night.

SPEAKER_00

What?

SPEAKER_02

No. Opening night, I I walk out. I'm supposed to kick off the show with the famous song Where's the Wagon? It's coming down the street. Which sounds like the one from Randy's beautiful.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, the Wells Fargo wagon isn't coming down the street. But it's in Dave.

SPEAKER_02

They stole it from that. Yeah, they stole it from Music Man.

SPEAKER_01

But I was Music Man stole it from Wagners.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, exactly. I walked out and I saw in the front row my twin and Randy holding hands like this. That doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_04

Wait, they were holding hands like what? They were holding hands like this.

SPEAKER_01

Up high? Yes.

SPEAKER_04

That's it's such a crazy way to watch something.

SPEAKER_01

Well, it's clearly intentionally saying, look at look what's happening here.

SPEAKER_02

I looked, I said, and I went to sing and I wagon.

SPEAKER_01

Voice break.

SPEAKER_02

And I looked, I said, I won't do this. Jumped right into the orchestra pit. Fell on a flute. That was a little a sharp flute.

SPEAKER_01

Not a sharp flute.

SPEAKER_02

Where did it go? Right through my heart.

SPEAKER_01

And then what?

SPEAKER_02

I was dead.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, god damn.

SPEAKER_02

I was the violinist said, play me out.

SPEAKER_01

The concert professional.

SPEAKER_02

He plays me out. And they closed wagon then the very next day.

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_02

The revival.

SPEAKER_01

You're understudying. Well, it's at that point, but it's bad luck.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And now, what I actually now, this is interesting because I never understood. I always understood the Macbeth thing, but what I know now Don't say that on this is a stage.

SPEAKER_02

I don't think so. Wait, what's the Macbeth thing?

SPEAKER_04

You can't say Macbeth on a stage? Yeah, but what you're performing Macbeth.

SPEAKER_01

I know. I did theater in high school.

SPEAKER_02

Oh my god. He's here.

SPEAKER_01

When I did theater in high school, we also weren't allowed to say wagons on stage.

SPEAKER_02

Waggons? What is the Macbeth? Oh, yeah. Because of me.

SPEAKER_01

Because if I didn't re I had no clue. No. You can't say Macbeth at a theater. It's bad luck.

SPEAKER_02

He's coming. He's on his way already. Who's he? McBeth. McBeth. You don't know him?

SPEAKER_01

You don't know McBeth?

SPEAKER_04

Shakespeare? No. Okay. Sorry. You are.

SPEAKER_01

Read a book.

SPEAKER_04

I clearly, I'm wrong. Do you know McDonald's? McDonald's, you cannot stay on a stage. McDonald's, you cannot stay on a stage.

SPEAKER_01

If you say McDonald's on a stage, it always breaks the reality of the play. It takes people opposite.

SPEAKER_04

Out of it because they go, hold on. What were they ordering? Is that makes sense? That's right. Is McRib even out?

SPEAKER_02

Do they get certain ribs? Tell me about it, please. We only had the hamburger. I think a I've never had one. Do you know?

SPEAKER_04

25 cents. It's a it's like sugary ribs on a pancake. Sugar ribs?

SPEAKER_01

It's on a pancake?

SPEAKER_04

Or is that the McGriddle? The McGriddle's on a pancake.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. And I don't think it's ribs. Sugary ribs on a pellet.

SPEAKER_02

Oh. Thank you. I'm trying. I'm writing something with Marilyn Monroe. Are you writing something new? With Marilyn Monroe.

SPEAKER_01

We're writing the women writing. Now you two have both um. I don't want to say the sentence that I was about to say.

SPEAKER_02

You have to say it now. Both killed yourselves?

SPEAKER_01

I was gonna say you were both with predators.

SPEAKER_02

We were gonna get a crack out of that one.

SPEAKER_04

Wait, sorry, which predator was she with? If you don't think JFK was a predator, you're just Oh, oh, oh, I see, I see, I see.

SPEAKER_01

We had Jackie on the show. She might not care for me too.

SPEAKER_02

What's she doing? She's running a prank show.

SPEAKER_01

She's doing a prank show called Jack Attack.

SPEAKER_02

Oh my god, I need to get on that.

SPEAKER_01

And at the end of it, she says, I'll jack you later.

SPEAKER_02

Oh my goodness. Yeah, she's die. The 90s. Oh god, I don't even know what that means.

SPEAKER_04

Totally. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. It's just 40 years after the thing you were talking about. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

50 math.

SPEAKER_04

Oh.

SPEAKER_02

Oh. She Oh, let her see 40. Letter C40. I learned about feminism in 11.

SPEAKER_04

You're Willid refuses to take the class I've been sending him. So there I've been taking, I don't know if this is the same feminist theory class you're taking at ACC at Afterlift Community College. Yes. So you have to be okay if I'm wrong, and you can't be a super big bitch about it. Really? Those are two of the things that they talk about.

SPEAKER_01

Because when Jackie Onassis was on the show, I said Onassis was their married name, and you were like, no, it's her maiden name. And I looked it up and I was correct.

SPEAKER_04

It was her what name?

SPEAKER_01

I said it was her second married name, and you said no, it's her maiden name.

SPEAKER_04

So he's doing his thing. He's bringing up like past beef I didn't know about that he's secretly absolutely pissed about.

SPEAKER_01

Well, that's what that's an example of me not correcting you, and now we look like we all have egg on our face.

SPEAKER_04

No, you do.

SPEAKER_02

Egg on my face.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, because I'm full of eggs that didn't get used.

SPEAKER_02

Shut up. I never said that. Are you my fourth husband? I am looking.

SPEAKER_01

I hope it's not.

SPEAKER_04

I just want to date with him.

SPEAKER_01

No. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't because he kind of harkens back to I don't know anything about him. No.

SPEAKER_04

Well.

SPEAKER_01

Don't look into it.

SPEAKER_04

I wouldn't look into it. I wouldn't date any form of him because I know some of his characters have died in movies. I know he's on a I wouldn't date any form of him. He's not a great guy. I just as advice. Thank you. You're welcome.

SPEAKER_01

Who is somebody that I would set you on for?

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_04

And they go, I I can make my own decision at the cutlery tent. Is there a sexual tension between the you two?

SPEAKER_01

Not at all. Remoling. We have a brother-sister vibe at most. Yeah. And actually, I might be her fan by that's a bit.

SPEAKER_02

I actually agree. I was nervous you were married. I wasn't gonna have to tell you guys that you have sibling and no, the wedding ring that he wears is actually a farce.

SPEAKER_04

He does it probably to pick up women uh in a disgusting way.

SPEAKER_01

He kind of guy is a predator. Meaning a predator. I'm more of a John Wayne Gesey type, if anything.

SPEAKER_04

A murderer. John Wang Gesey. This is so crazy. I met him too.

SPEAKER_02

I heard him for my birthday party.

SPEAKER_01

Isn't it surprising that he's not in hell?

SPEAKER_04

I can't so we how did he get up here? Yeah, Rake. He was it must be that he was such a good kid. Yeah. Like he was so good as a kid and a teenager that it outweighed all the others.

SPEAKER_01

The only thing that makes sense.

SPEAKER_02

Wow. I didn't know I had him at the party and someone said, him? And you performed You know what he did, right? You had him perform as a clown. Check your walls. Yeah, that someone said check my walls.

Oh. Is it I know who it is. Say it. It's your twin sister. Yes.

SPEAKER_02

She wasn't dead. She was just in there. Get me out of here. That is.

SPEAKER_01

It sucks that you can still be like held hostage in the afterlife. But some people deserve it. Those who mistakenly didn't go to hell.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. It's such a bummer when you meet people that didn't go to hell and they should have. It's such a bummer. It's such a bummer. Yeah. Who have you met that you thought? I mean, John Wingsee was a really big one.

SPEAKER_01

JWG. Oh.

SPEAKER_04

Alright, well, let's take a break then. We'll be right back.

SPEAKER_03

Give me your teeth. I need teeth. Don't ask why. Send them to me in an envelope at this address. Don't ask why.

SPEAKER_04

And we're back to my favorite segment of the show.

SPEAKER_01

That's right. We get a chance to introduce these people to you, but we also want to introduce them to each other.

SPEAKER_04

Yes, we were trying to make a community here in the afterlife, and I think we're succeeding.

SPEAKER_01

I agree. Please welcome back to the show, Eleanor Van Strong and Shorty Pineco. Shorty Pineco. It was the spelling that threw me off, if I'm being honest. Yeah, I think.

SPEAKER_02

Shorty, you absolutely stink. What's going on?

SPEAKER_05

Well, so we as I I mean we had a conversation earlier, and uh I I realized that I had mixed some uh elements into my moonshine that sometimes smell not good.

SPEAKER_04

I I feel like you're saying you realized as if it was something after the fact and not something consciously that you did.

SPEAKER_01

Also, I love the idea of you are describing these things as elements that sometimes stink sometimes being poop.

SPEAKER_04

Which I would say 100% of the time stinks. Yes.

SPEAKER_01

What if it's like frozen?

SPEAKER_02

Hello. Oh, hello. Oh, I thought it was a good old hello. Like hello. Oh, it's more like a goodbye. Oh, okay. I thought this, I thought maybe this was gonna be the man. How old are you?

SPEAKER_01

103. Oh.

SPEAKER_02

Wait, you died when you were 103.

SPEAKER_01

You know what? If you were just right, it would make me not look like such an asshole.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. It is 20, it's 2025. Does it matter?

SPEAKER_05

We're dead. Wow.

SPEAKER_01

And I look like an asshole because I say the right answer. I look like a complete Arian douchebag. Look, whatever year anyone says it's fine. I was I asked, and then you really forcefully told us.

SPEAKER_04

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_01

Wow. That's good.

SPEAKER_04

That's honestly a relief. Wow, that's huge.

SPEAKER_04

If Arians were opening up a social club, anybody could join. And it was really cool.

SPEAKER_01

Wow, what a diversity win for the perks. Arians open it up to whoever.

SPEAKER_02

What are the perks? I love a perk.

SPEAKER_01

Being an Aryan.

SPEAKER_04

No, well, Luke, the perks of the social club. It'll be like free meals, like a working space, like a bath.

SPEAKER_02

The perks of the Arians are I'm having a musical idea of the perks of the Arians.

SPEAKER_01

The perks of the Arians.

SPEAKER_02

There's not enough of us. What'll we do? That was a good ad lib. Oh, I don't know. I thought you were asking. You need to come with me in Maryland. You need to shower first, but you need to come meet me in Maryland.

SPEAKER_01

Well, the thing is it stinks, but it's technically clean because it is the alcohol content is so high that uh craziest thing you can turn into alcohol. Gosh. Well, I'm thinking of it as mostly, you know, berries, fruits, things like that, organic matter like that. Organic matter. Yeah. I would say.

SPEAKER_02

Can you turn anything right now into alcohol? I would love a drink.

SPEAKER_04

Um not our phone, which should be used for phone calls, right? Unless you were about to do that. I guess you could try. Someone needs to use his phone.

SPEAKER_01

Don't tell me there's alcohol on the phone. Oh my god. Can I show you something?

SPEAKER_04

Please, nobody's called or ever uses phone.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_01

How long ago did you do that? I want to say about 17 minutes ago. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, that's not why no one's calling it. This whole time there's been a nice sip in front of me. I'm trying to deal with these siblings. We are not siblings. We are not siblings. We have siblings. He's Arian, I'm Reika.

SPEAKER_01

I didn't get your name earlier. I'm sorry. There's a chiron in it. Ariad. It just says Arian. Orion.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, what did that taste like?

SPEAKER_02

Horrible. It burned.

SPEAKER_01

Alcohol horrible, though, or poop horrible?

SPEAKER_02

Oh, alcohol. I didn't get a slide to taste a poop, but you really prove yourself. So why does it not taste like a but you stink the high heaven?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that's I mean, I well, I showered in it, and then this is a different supply coming from my feet.

SPEAKER_04

SPEAKER_01

I guess mine comes from feet. Yeah, like grape stock. Mine comes from feet. Yeah. I've never heard that it's put that way. Why am I saying that? Because people stop all over the grape. My name is Waleen.

unknown

I'm not Aaron.

SPEAKER_01

Please stop calling me Aaron. Okay. I thought you said that was your name. Not everybody is watching it. A lot of people are listening to it. And that's the last thing I do.

SPEAKER_04

And something that's funny about our show is we'll post clips and people don't know the context of the show. They think on like Instagram or something or TikTok. Who?

SPEAKER_01

Instagram is sort of like Oh, this might be good for you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

No, it's my photo's gonna be in the paper.

SPEAKER_01

Uh no, it will be. So there's this thing out unfortunately called the internet that came with us into the afterlife, and we post clips from this show.

SPEAKER_02

Everyone's been telling me about it. I have been scared. I think you're okay on the internet.

SPEAKER_01

I'm not. I don't have an account yet, but it sounds like sort of like a missions board.

SPEAKER_04

It's sort of like a message board. Yes. But like anyone can comment on anything, and we don't get that problem all that much, but people will watch our clips and um they don't know the context. So that's why it would be kind of funny.

SPEAKER_05

When I don't have the context, I like to just get in there. I like to swing, I like to just kind of make some space for myself.

SPEAKER_04

You mean so you kind of like like what do you make for space for myself?

SPEAKER_01

Well, I don't have the internet, so I don't know 100% what you're talking about. But on a message board, when someone says something I don't understand, I just start ripping shit off of it.

SPEAKER_00

Uh-huh. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I put up a message looking for a pair of shoes, and it was ripped down the next day.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I said, what kind of shoes? Who's saying this? I don't know if we can have any shoes on the board.

SPEAKER_04

What you were looking for shoes on a message board?

SPEAKER_01

What kind of shoes are you looking for?

SPEAKER_02

I was looking for these.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_01

Why can't they do both?

SPEAKER_04

I why can't we?

SPEAKER_01

Always a choice, right?

SPEAKER_04

It's always a choice. And why did the shoe message make you so mad?

SPEAKER_01

I didn't understand it. I didn't know who was asking for it.

SPEAKER_02

So I did my signature. It looks like a scribble, but it is not. You could have sold that.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Yeah, because you're your autograph was probably worth something back in the day.

SPEAKER_04

Did you know this, Shorty? I don't know if you were you died actually after Eleanor. Oh my god. So you might have seen some of her productions. I don't know if you watched musicals, but she was in the very short-lived wagon revival and it was.

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_01

Oh, there's a predator in the wagon, like a Trojan horse. Like a bobcat? In the musical.

SPEAKER_02

We think you're getting saved by the wagon. Why is that why are they so obsessed with those predators on Broadway? What kind of remember the song? Well, of course not. There's no band-aid says it's a predator. It's a predator. Oh, that yeah, it was about that.

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_04

When you say after, I'm sort of not understanding. You mean temporally, or it is based on your cousin? Yes.

SPEAKER_05

Right after. So it is the story of which is after my cousin. Got it.

SPEAKER_01

So they were they they wanted to do something around my cousin, so they did it after him. Because you can't do it before. You can't do it before. You couldn't possibly do it before. What do you think? Another word for based on is after. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_04

You know, and not you know, we're and now we're kind of judging them. We're looking at it as a monoculture. Not all of them are predators. Imagine if an alien came here or to Earth and met Harvey Weinstein and went, wow, everyone's like this.
