SPEAKER_01All arounder, cable back access show. Uh yeah, we get a chance to interview a bunch of dead people. Just like us.
SPEAKER_04Yes.
SPEAKER_01How's it going, Rayka?
SPEAKER_04I think pretty well. Yeah. Um, you know, last time we had talked about what did I talk to you about?
SPEAKER_01I don't remember.
SPEAKER_04I think I was talking to you about just like self-improvement and like who you are. Who I am.
SPEAKER_01Who is Rayka?
SPEAKER_04I determined I am very generous, I am very kind, and I'm just kind of adding to that list as I go.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. What's new? What's new on the list? New on the list. Lovable. Adorable.
SPEAKER_04I hadn't added those. That's nice.
SPEAKER_01And would you?
SPEAKER_04I would absolutely add those.
SPEAKER_01I 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_04I don't know, man. I think it's rotten to the core. You think it's rotten to the core.
SPEAKER_01It 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_04Okay.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_04Oh wait, this is hard because there's gonna be a lot of thinking time.
SPEAKER_01Uh 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_04You are not a black belt in Taekwondo.
SPEAKER_01I am a black belt in Taekwondo.
SPEAKER_04That's not evident in any way. Don't display any of the qualities of someone who has a black belt.
SPEAKER_01Okay. Explain to me who somebody with a black belt what their deal is.
SPEAKER_04They are helping people. They're saving people.
SPEAKER_01They're saving people in the afterlife. You want me to save people?
SPEAKER_04Yes.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_04Um well, I know you're fucking dating my great grandma grandma.
SPEAKER_01No, 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_04What are you doing? You keep going to movies. Didn't you go to a candle-lit dinner?
SPEAKER_01Okay. Show me a dinner without candles nowadays.
SPEAKER_04That'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_01It's lunch. Exactly. That's not a dinner, though. That's a lunch.
SPEAKER_04I don't think chilies has candles.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, no, we didn't go to Chili's. We went somewhere nice.
SPEAKER_04That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_01It's platonic, okay?
SPEAKER_04Like the show platonic.
SPEAKER_01It'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_04They don't they end up like obviously very much going to get together.
SPEAKER_01Is that really how it ends?
SPEAKER_04Yes.
SPEAKER_01Well that's what's the point of that movie?
SPEAKER_04Just funny.
SPEAKER_01Just funny.
SPEAKER_04Just 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_01And you have dyed your hair.
SPEAKER_04And I've dyed my hair.
SPEAKER_01What? I feel like all those are lies. I know you've been to Texas.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_01I'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_04What does that mean? What does that mean?
SPEAKER_01What does that mean? Like vegetarians and stuff.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_01Why else would it exist?
SPEAKER_04So pick one. What do you think?
SPEAKER_01If 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_04Correct.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_04I've been to Texas.
SPEAKER_01So you have dyed your hair?
SPEAKER_04Well, I highlighted it.
SPEAKER_01That I was really sad.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. I was really sad and I highlighted it. And I don't know.
SPEAKER_01If anyone has- Um, they were like like a lighter brown. Lighter brown.
SPEAKER_04Um, 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_01Yeah, 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_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I really do believe that. But I'm and especially 55-year-old men, it's okay to have gray hair.
SPEAKER_04It's if especially men, everybody's obsessed with it.
SPEAKER_01Versus jet black shoe polish or the brownest brown hair you've ever seen.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, it's tough.
SPEAKER_01And when you have short hair, within six hours, there's gray poking out of the roots.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Give me a break. It's tough. So we know each other better now, right? Fresh start.
SPEAKER_04Why do you think I like dragon fruit? Dragonfruit's nasty, it has no flavor, it's all uh appearances, no taste.
SPEAKER_01And you want me to answer why I think that applies to you?
SPEAKER_04You 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_01Diamonds 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_04Like 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_01I'm not a big fan of bedazzling.
SPEAKER_04Okay, name something else.
SPEAKER_01Name something else. Okay.
SPEAKER_04If you comment on my sweater, I'll kill you.
SPEAKER_01I love that sweater. Men. Men. Taste in men. Bad taste in men. Poor taste in men.
SPEAKER_04I would argue that my taste in men is good until the taste goes sour.
SPEAKER_01You're saying.
SPEAKER_04Until it curdles.
SPEAKER_01I see. I see. You're saying your taste is men is is good, but it's the aftertaste almost.
SPEAKER_04It's the aftertaste that I don't have a control over.
SPEAKER_01Yes, that's not your fault.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, that's not my fault. I don't control that drinking orange juice after chewing gum is nasty.
SPEAKER_01Orange juice is good. Gum good. You have good taste.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. Does those do those things work well together? No, that's not my fault. That's chemistry.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, Mickey the Slick, though, he was just he was a rotten apple from the start.
SPEAKER_04We have to admit that that was a that was a tough one to call, though. You know?
SPEAKER_01The 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_04You don't know what our one-on-one relationship was like at all.
SPEAKER_01You 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_04Okay. 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_01Okay.
SPEAKER_04It was a really nice date.
SPEAKER_01Which 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_04He the whole part was the nice part.
SPEAKER_01Which part? I I genuinely asked you, which part was the nice part?
SPEAKER_04Fucking fondling your shoe to fruition. You can't listen to my story.
SPEAKER_01Listen to the story. He was burning taxes, he got you Del Taco, which is afterlife Del Taco.
SPEAKER_04Which is afterlife Del Taco, which has the Beyond Meat.
SPEAKER_01Which has the Beyond Meat.
SPEAKER_04And so he let me try some of his. And he let me try some of his.
SPEAKER_01Oh, oh, he didn't get any for you.
SPEAKER_04He got three for himself, but he let me try some.
SPEAKER_01Okay. And that kind of sums up your taste in mana.
SPEAKER_04Beyond 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_01Well, we got a guest coming, and maybe his he tastes like Beyond Meat. We'll see.
SPEAKER_04I think I think that could be a possibility. Please welcome Shorty Pinecone.
SPEAKER_05Hello. Thanks for having me.
SPEAKER_04Thank you for being here, Shorty.
SPEAKER_05Thanks for having me. What's Beyond Meat?
SPEAKER_04Ooh, 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_01I'm kind of an engineer in something. You're an engineer. Well chemical, aeronautical. Kind of chemical. Kind of chemical.
SPEAKER_05Kind 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_01Moonshine 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_04Wait, what is put your hair?
SPEAKER_01Put some hair on your chest. Put your hair on your chest.
SPEAKER_04Makes you like it's like it just puts it.
SPEAKER_01If you don't have some, it'll put some there. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Okay, so it's a chemical accent. Okay. What is in moonshine? I've always wondered.
SPEAKER_05Moonshine'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_01Okay. 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_05I 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_01But 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_05I wasn't full grown yet.
SPEAKER_04What's short what's your real name?
SPEAKER_01Uh 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_04Yeah, that's beautiful.
SPEAKER_01It's not spelled how you think it is. We'll have to ask I. Yeah. Yeah. You can guess.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_04P-I-Wow.
SPEAKER_01Well, that helps me. I spell it. That's not how you think of it. Okay, right. Okay. What other sounds make P?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, good fucking line.
SPEAKER_01Okay. 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_04Maybe like the Jewish last name. Cone.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, well, I'm gonna rock a K, though.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_01Alright. K-O-H-N. I'm gonna sandwich the B. With a B at the end? That's correct.
SPEAKER_04Excellent. Wow, you're right. I couldn't have guessed that.
SPEAKER_01Didn'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_04Now I'm so curious. What what time period are you from?
SPEAKER_01Oh, I'm from well, I I guess I was born in 59. Which one? Uh 18.
unknownOh.
SPEAKER_01Okay. 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_03So you died old.
SPEAKER_01Some people say moonshine's good for you, some people say it's not. She lived to be 103? Yeah.
SPEAKER_04So 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_05I 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_01Well, 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_04I think it'll be 99 ABV. ABV, right?
SPEAKER_01Is 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_05And 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_04Moonshine killed you.
SPEAKER_05You 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_01Okay. 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_05They got no purpose. It was like purpose.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. 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_00Wait, yeah, what happened?
SPEAKER_01Well, 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_04You 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_01Well, 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_04This 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_01Yes. Thank you. People are listening to on records, eight tracks, yeah. I was watching, I was watching Johnny Carson.
SPEAKER_04You 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_01And 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_05Extremely explosive. Moves mountains. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Now you were making moonshine during the prohibition.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. 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_04And 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_01You'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_05Hiding alcohol. I mean, think about it. What was that part of your job?
SPEAKER_04We don't hide stuff. We don't hide everything.
SPEAKER_01What'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_04Is that okay?
SPEAKER_01It 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_04Yeah, you hide your key in like a rock or like a big turtle sculpture or something. Yes.
SPEAKER_05Big turtle sculpture.
SPEAKER_01I 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_03That's just for you. That's only for you.
SPEAKER_00I love a picture of that. That's your beloved, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Wow. 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_01So I was just sitting there one day and uh, you know, I was making some injured. I was a little drunk.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And uh and then I hear the whoop whooping of refrain refrain, yeah.
SPEAKER_05A 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_01And 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_05And you know, it'd probably be made of alcohol.
SPEAKER_00And it would be made of alcohol.
SPEAKER_01And 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_04He's a different cop.
SPEAKER_01I gave him the rocking chair. You gave him the rocking chair.
SPEAKER_04How much alcohol can you fit in a rocking chair? I've always wondered.
SPEAKER_01I'm gonna say 18 flow ounces.
SPEAKER_0418 flow ounces.
SPEAKER_05Flo ounces? Flo ounces. Well, it's uh it's it's flow, right? When it says F L O Z.
SPEAKER_04It's short for it's it's no, it is not. It's flu.
SPEAKER_01Flu. 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_04So so you're finding areas that you can hollow out to put alcohol in.
SPEAKER_01So 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_05I've never used a cup in my life.
SPEAKER_01You'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_04You pointed to this chair.
unknownStop.
SPEAKER_01Let's for later. There's a little bit of a gift here.
SPEAKER_04What?
SPEAKER_01Hey, don't shorty. Hey, don't don't sit and drive, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_04Can I try some? Is that okay?
SPEAKER_01You're gonna try some. You're gonna put some hair on your chest. Hey, be careful now.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_04Wait, does this look suspicious? Hold on.
SPEAKER_01Does it look suspicious? The answer is yes.
SPEAKER_04I 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_01Well, 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_04It's not a Miller light. Like it goes it's like requires nothing. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. 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_03Pear corn. Yeah. Who was this?
SPEAKER_01Oh, that was uh that was just regular corn mixed with a little bit of shit.
SPEAKER_05Mixed with a little bit of shit? That's so so so sometimes you throw people off with one that stinks.
SPEAKER_01I kind of forgot that that was only when you asked me that did I realize. Oh, I did the bad one.
SPEAKER_04Why do you need to throw people off with it?
SPEAKER_01Because like, well, well, you know, a lot of people try to steal your moonshine. They find where you're you're hiding it and they they take it in well. And so I'm so sorry. I should have said so. Oh sorry. I spit into that earlier. Sorry. I was we were trying tobacco before we started recording. I feel bad. I had tried tobacco before. Sorry. Yeah. My bad. Oh. Are you throwing up back there? Please don't throw it up. Could you not? And to me, it's rude. Oh god, did you just burp? You you feeling better? Wow, that came from inside. Like a deep burp. Okay. Whoa. Sorry.
SPEAKER_04No, I'm sorry. No, oh, I don't want you're a gas.
SPEAKER_05I'm 103. I'm stupid. Shorty, you're not stupid.
SPEAKER_04It's totally now that you've explained it, I totally get why you mixed shit into the moonshine.
SPEAKER_01It looks like Rika needs a second. So maybe we should take a little break. Alright, we'll be back. We'll be right back after this commercial. I should have thought of that. Tired of being dead. Well, we at Baby Max can set you up with a brand new baby to shove your soul into so you can get a fresh start. Rich babies, adore babies, absolute chunkers. Let's put that soul in a baby today.
SPEAKER_04And we're back. I'm very excited for this next cast.
SPEAKER_01Me too. Please welcome to the show, Eleanor Van Strongbow.
SPEAKER_02Well, I'm back on the casting couch.
SPEAKER_04Well, don't worry, this is not a casting couch. No, no, no, no, no. It's so crazy. This is not a casting couch. We get a lot of people that assume that. We are not trying to sleep with anyone here. Why do people keep assuming that about us? I don't know.
SPEAKER_01Is it our vibe? It's probably your vibe.
SPEAKER_02You're not trying to sleep with it. Look at your shirt. It's your vibe. Your chest hair is showing, sir.

SPEAKER_04Yeah, like robot, the concept of a robot is so different.
SPEAKER_01But 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_04And Scientology.

SPEAKER_02I 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_04I think that's good. I I at very least I think they ask now before doing that, but I actually don't know.
SPEAKER_02I got my friend Debbie.
SPEAKER_01So you how long were you um I don't know bluesy? How long were you on the farm?
SPEAKER_02I was on the farm for two months. Two months.
SPEAKER_01Oh, okay. I thought it was gonna be much longer.
SPEAKER_02No, 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_01They knew, but they wouldn't tell me. They knew.
SPEAKER_02They said we have it right here in this envelope.
SPEAKER_04I 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_02And it's hard because I'm tall, my doctor couldn't even imagine.
SPEAKER_01That 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_04I think this is a disgusting practice that doctors do.
SPEAKER_01Really, really gross. Just in case we need to hide it.
SPEAKER_02You can doctor see one, but you have to get it.
SPEAKER_04Absolutely. 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_02I kicked her.
SPEAKER_04I heard it all today.
SPEAKER_02I kicked her behind the knees. Are you sure you don't have a cigarette? I don't I'm so marijuana.
SPEAKER_04I don't have marijuana. We don't we actually say I'll front ledge you. We have nothing relating to drugs.
SPEAKER_01I have nothing that will get you high.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Alright. Okay. So you had it for a couple months. Yes.
SPEAKER_02And 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_01Randy's Beautiful House. Yes.
SPEAKER_02Um, on Broadway first. 30 days total.
SPEAKER_01Were you on in the original cast?
SPEAKER_02Yes. 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_04It'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_01And for a while he just called it method acting. Yeah. It's like that doesn't really fucking count.
SPEAKER_02And 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_01Okay. So Randy's beautiful house.
SPEAKER_02Which is about a predator.
SPEAKER_04Which is about a predator.
SPEAKER_01Star to predator. Star to predator. And me. And you and the predator. And what did you play?
SPEAKER_02I played, I was the farm keeper.
SPEAKER_01The farm keeper. Right.
SPEAKER_02But Randy's beautiful house was a farm.
SPEAKER_01Is it was it very bizarre that you then ended up on a farm shortly after?
SPEAKER_02Yeah. 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_04You 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_01You were brought there.
SPEAKER_02Randy sent me there.
SPEAKER_01Said you're getting too bluesy. You're getting too bluesy.
SPEAKER_04Randy, 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_02Thank 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.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_02You 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_04It's so crazy. That's the first song.
SPEAKER_01That 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_02I've heard of that. Who? Hitler. No, I know Hitler. Oh, was around, yeah.
SPEAKER_01There was a sitcom about I died before the war ended, though.
SPEAKER_02Yes. Yes.
SPEAKER_01But there was a sitcom about Hitler. It ended. It ended, don't worry. Thank you. He killed himself.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I haven't seen him up here. I've been grateful.
SPEAKER_01No, I think some hell.
SPEAKER_04Okay, good. Which is awesome because sometimes there's people here that should not be here.
SPEAKER_01I wouldn't believe how many people are up here and not down there.
SPEAKER_02My twin sister is up here.
SPEAKER_01Oh, wait, and uh She should be in hell. We were surprised, like we knew who she is.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, 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_02No, I don't I should know that. You should know.
SPEAKER_04It's not a realistic expectation.
SPEAKER_02My 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_01Why did you think she was supposed to be in hell?
SPEAKER_02She'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_01Which is kind of honestly did you a favor.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but she's still a witch.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, 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_04It's so gauche.
SPEAKER_01Oh.
SPEAKER_04Wow. Okay.
SPEAKER_01So you cut you came back from you're on the farm.
SPEAKER_02I'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_01Oh, okay. It was I said, Great. Catcha. I thought maybe you escaped.
SPEAKER_02I 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_04This 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_02My friend died from that cold.
SPEAKER_04What?
SPEAKER_01From that cold. She died from a cold.
SPEAKER_03That's awesome.
SPEAKER_01Wait, 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_02And 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_04You were in the revival. That makes sense.
SPEAKER_02Well, I was supposed to be. I opening night.
SPEAKER_00What?
SPEAKER_02No. 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_01Oh, the Wells Fargo wagon isn't coming down the street. But it's in Dave.
SPEAKER_02They stole it from that. Yeah, they stole it from Music Man.
SPEAKER_01But I was Music Man stole it from Wagners.
SPEAKER_02Yes, exactly. I walked out and I saw in the front row my twin and Randy holding hands like this. That doesn't matter.
SPEAKER_04Wait, they were holding hands like what? They were holding hands like this.
SPEAKER_01Up high? Yes.
SPEAKER_04That's it's such a crazy way to watch something.
SPEAKER_01Well, it's clearly intentionally saying, look at look what's happening here.
SPEAKER_02I looked, I said, and I went to sing and I wagon.
SPEAKER_01Voice break.
SPEAKER_02And 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_01Not a sharp flute.
SPEAKER_02Where did it go? Right through my heart.
SPEAKER_01And then what?
SPEAKER_02I was dead.
SPEAKER_01Oh, god damn.
SPEAKER_02I was the violinist said, play me out.
SPEAKER_01The concert professional.
SPEAKER_02He plays me out. And they closed wagon then the very next day.
SPEAKER_01No.
SPEAKER_02The revival.
SPEAKER_01You're understudying. Well, it's at that point, but it's bad luck.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And 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_02I don't think so. Wait, what's the Macbeth thing?
SPEAKER_04You can't say Macbeth on a stage? Yeah, but what you're performing Macbeth.
SPEAKER_01I know. I did theater in high school.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god. He's here.
SPEAKER_01When I did theater in high school, we also weren't allowed to say wagons on stage.
SPEAKER_02Waggons? What is the Macbeth? Oh, yeah. Because of me.
SPEAKER_01Because if I didn't re I had no clue. No. You can't say Macbeth at a theater. It's bad luck.
SPEAKER_02He's coming. He's on his way already. Who's he? McBeth. McBeth. You don't know him?
SPEAKER_01You don't know McBeth?
SPEAKER_04Shakespeare? No. Okay. Sorry. You are.
SPEAKER_01Read a book.
SPEAKER_04I 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_01If you say McDonald's on a stage, it always breaks the reality of the play. It takes people opposite.
SPEAKER_04Out of it because they go, hold on. What were they ordering? Is that makes sense? That's right. Is McRib even out?
SPEAKER_02Do 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_0425 cents. It's a it's like sugary ribs on a pancake. Sugar ribs?
SPEAKER_01It's on a pancake?
SPEAKER_04Or is that the McGriddle? The McGriddle's on a pancake.
SPEAKER_01Yes. And I don't think it's ribs. Sugary ribs on a pellet.
SPEAKER_02Oh. Thank you. I'm trying. I'm writing something with Marilyn Monroe. Are you writing something new? With Marilyn Monroe.
SPEAKER_01We'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_02You have to say it now. Both killed yourselves?
SPEAKER_01I was gonna say you were both with predators.
SPEAKER_02We were gonna get a crack out of that one.
SPEAKER_04Wait, 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_01We had Jackie on the show. She might not care for me too.
SPEAKER_02What's she doing? She's running a prank show.
SPEAKER_01She's doing a prank show called Jack Attack.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god, I need to get on that.
SPEAKER_01And at the end of it, she says, I'll jack you later.
SPEAKER_02Oh my goodness. Yeah, she's die. The 90s. Oh god, I don't even know what that means.
SPEAKER_04Totally. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. It's just 40 years after the thing you were talking about. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04Oh.
SPEAKER_02Oh. She Oh, let her see 40. Letter C40. I learned about feminism in 11.
SPEAKER_04You'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_01Because 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_04It was her what name?
SPEAKER_01I said it was her second married name, and you said no, it's her maiden name.
SPEAKER_04So 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_02I 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_04He does it probably to pick up women uh in a disgusting way.
SPEAKER_01He kind of guy is a predator. Meaning a predator. I'm more of a John Wayne Gesey type, if anything.
SPEAKER_04A murderer. John Wang Gesey. This is so crazy. I met him too.

SPEAKER_04I I feel like you're saying you realized as if it was something after the fact and not something consciously that you did.
SPEAKER_01Also, I love the idea of you are describing these things as elements that sometimes stink sometimes being poop.
SPEAKER_04Which I would say 100% of the time stinks. Yes.
SPEAKER_01What if it's like frozen?

SPEAKER_01I'm not. I don't have an account yet, but it sounds like sort of like a missions board.
SPEAKER_04It'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_05When 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_04You mean so you kind of like like what do you make for space for myself?
SPEAKER_01Well, 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_00Uh-huh. Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_02I put up a message looking for a pair of shoes, and it was ripped down the next day.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I said, what kind of shoes? Who's saying this? I don't know if we can have any shoes on the board.
