Welcome to another day of viewing on public access television. We hope you enjoy today's programming.
SPEAKER_10I'm Reka Shunter.
SPEAKER_04And I'm Wade Mansour and We're Dead.
SPEAKER_10Hello and welcome to We're Dead, the afterlife's premier cable access show.
SPEAKER_04That's right, a show where we get to talk to dead people just like us. And Rika, how are you doing?
SPEAKER_10I feel like you always asked me first. Okay. And I don't want to overtake our intro banter. I want to know how you're doing first.
SPEAKER_04I'm doing well. I uh I have an uh not an audition, a tryout tomorrow.
SPEAKER_10To be a kicker?
SPEAKER_04To be a kicker for the uh the AFL, to be in the AFL.
SPEAKER_10So for Afterlife Football League.
SPEAKER_04That's right. So it's kind of like a combine and then they get to draft us potentially. So that's exciting.
SPEAKER_10What's a combine?
SPEAKER_04It's a combine is like when you go to show off your skills so that people can then see how good you are and then they draft you.
SPEAKER_10What is how is that different than a tryout?
SPEAKER_04A tryout a tryout, you is you trying out for like one team. This is a combine where you're trying out essentially for all the teams.
SPEAKER_10Okay. You do you remember in Pitch Perfect? I didn't see it. Okay. Sorry. You're gonna have to stop on that one.
SPEAKER_04Well, because it just sticks out to me because I did a cappella when I was in college.
SPEAKER_08You did? Yeah, I did. What was your team called?
SPEAKER_04We were 58 Green, was the name of a team. We it was based on the room, it was the name of the room that the acapella group started in.
SPEAKER_08Well, give me something.
SPEAKER_04Give you something? Give me a little acapella. Give you just a sock a cappella. Okay. How we run to the midnight sun.
SPEAKER_01Wheels round around. You're on my man.
SPEAKER_04That's faithfully by Journey.
SPEAKER_10Willie, that was so beautiful.
SPEAKER_01Thank you.
SPEAKER_10Oh my god.
SPEAKER_01Thank you.
SPEAKER_10Wow. I mean, I knew you sang. Um, I didn't know you were in a club. Because I know you love music.
SPEAKER_04I do love music, yeah. So when I was in college, I my freshman year, I was obsessed with acapella, and I auditioned for my college, the University of Michigan, had like 17 a cappella groups, and I think I auditioned for like 11 of them. Okay, so I had to go to 11 different auditions, like six different callbacks, which was crazy. And in the movie Pitch Perfect, everybody was sitting in the theater and they auditioned people one by one so that everybody could hear the auditioners. And I'm like, that's way better.
SPEAKER_10A combine.
SPEAKER_04It's a combine. Pitch Perfect had a combine. They had a combine. That's the difference, I guess, between a combine and a combine.
SPEAKER_10And then big singers came and said, I like your stuff, kid. Like a coach.
SPEAKER_04Who's that? That's a coach.
SPEAKER_10We need you on the squad.
SPEAKER_04That did that was an exciting moment when the the a cappella group showed up to my dorm door, knocked on the door, I opened it up, and they're singing at me, telling me that I'm in the group.
SPEAKER_10I actually think that sounds really crazy. It was so special.
SPEAKER_04And then, like, all the other kids in the dorms are like sick in their heads out, like, what the hell's going on? It was cool. Wow. Yeah. I remember they after they left. I turned around and like did a front kick because I was so excited. I truly was upset.
SPEAKER_11Holy cow!
SPEAKER_04I was I was so obsessed with Acapella at the time.
SPEAKER_10That's so sweet. Uh I didn't get into anything I tried out for in college.
SPEAKER_04You tried. I think we've talked about this. You tried out for the improv groups, right? The sketch comedy groups?
SPEAKER_10Were they why are we talking? You I tried out for is this afterlifey? All right. I tried out for the sketch comedy group.
SPEAKER_04That's right. What's the name of them?
SPEAKER_10I their name does not need to be more promoted.
SPEAKER_04Well, the only reason I ask is because I think you've roasted this group before. Am I wrong?
SPEAKER_07No, you're not wrong.
SPEAKER_04You've roasted the group before because the people that did make the group still continue to talk about how they are on the group.
SPEAKER_10Yeah, and I'm like, I I guess they would say, why are you still talking about not being on it?
SPEAKER_07But uh I the reason I I think it's funny that I didn't get on and I and I tried very, very hard.
SPEAKER_00Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_10Uh and I tried out once for the improv group, and then I tried out once for an offshoot improv group, and I did not get on the You didn't even get on the offshoot. But you didn't start doing improv until I didn't do any sort of performance until I was like 22 or 21.
SPEAKER_04Oh wow, okay. Did you do theater in high school or anything? No, no.
SPEAKER_10I got a role in Midsummer Night's Dream as a fairy, but my best friend did not, and so I was like, that's not for me.
SPEAKER_04And I quit. If my friend can't be a fairy, absolutely.
SPEAKER_07I was like, I'm out.
SPEAKER_04Well, there's still a chance. You can do theater up here. It's never too late.
SPEAKER_10I don't know, Willie. I can't. Okay. The way that on a as a comedian on Earth, you were trying to be a comedian, I was a comedian.
SPEAKER_04I famously attempted to be a comedian.
SPEAKER_10On Earth, where they like suddenly started requiring you to like not just write, not just act, you also had to film your own stuff, you had to edit your own stuff, you had to, you had to have your own channel, you had to be your own producer.
SPEAKER_04You had to be a business.
SPEAKER_10I feel that way with with live actors too, where they're like, can you sing? I'm like, no. Can you dance? I'm like, no.
SPEAKER_04It's like, how does that have to do with acting?
SPEAKER_10What if I don't want to be in a musical? Is that okay if I don't want to be in a musical? And so I feel like it's not okay, and no one's telling me it's not okay, but I feel it in the room.
SPEAKER_04Well, you talked about taking vocal lessons with Aretha Franklin.
SPEAKER_10Well, I I then was like, forget it.
SPEAKER_04If you don't have confidence in it though, you can always work on it. It's never too late to learn anything. It's like, oh, you can only learn piano when you're six years old. Yeah. It's like, no, you can learn piano whenever.
SPEAKER_10But how do you get through the moments? Okay, let's say I took a singing lesson with Aretha. Inevitably, there's gonna be stuff that's just like, I just don't know what to do. Because you're asking me to do something with my voice, and you can't show me because your vocal cords exist in your neck.
SPEAKER_04A good teacher and mine exist in my neck. A good teacher will help you find your find your neck. A good teacher will help you find your neck, okay? And let you do what your neck does best.
SPEAKER_10This is what's hard about physical skills. You know, I never learned to swim on earth. Someone's trying to teach you how to use your own body. I don't I can't use my own body.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. You can you can't use your own body? That's a I'm sorry. I said yeah, but that's a crazy sentence, Reka. If there's one person that you can use your body, it should be you.
SPEAKER_07It's I'm third on the list. It's like a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest. He places third in his own look-alike contest. I'm like, it's not me. It's like Aretha Franklin, a dog, and then me.
SPEAKER_04I think it's just about training. It's just the idea of people are like, oh my god, you're so good at guitar, I could never do that. It's like, I you think you think I picked this up when I was a baby?
SPEAKER_10I guess I do have a thing.
SPEAKER_04You're not born with it.
SPEAKER_10I will think like if someone compliments a skill I have, I'm like, anyone on earth can do this.
SPEAKER_04This is exactly what I'm talking about.
SPEAKER_10And then if I compliment someone else's skill and they're like, you can do this. I'm like, you literally know nothing. I can't do that.
SPEAKER_04What do people compliment about you?
SPEAKER_10Well.
SPEAKER_04Take your time.
SPEAKER_10Did I and I did I say when or did I say if they were to?
SPEAKER_04If ever someone were to finally, I think is what you said.
SPEAKER_10Okay.
SPEAKER_04If someone were to finally for once, compliment me.
SPEAKER_10Uh I I have famously been told I try really hard.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. Yeah, you do. You do. I also think you're very funny, you're very smart, and you're very talented. And I think, frankly, you're a very good actor. So that's why I think that you should try and pursue this in the afterlife. Okay. It doesn't have to be movies and TV, maybe just like a local afterlife community production.
SPEAKER_10Wow. An afterlife community production could be really fun. William Shakespeare is running afterlife card. You think no?
SPEAKER_04Not Shakespeare.
SPEAKER_10Not Shakespeare. Okay.
SPEAKER_04Not you.
SPEAKER_10Wait, sorry. You kind of flipped your position. First it was not Shakespeare, now it's not me.
SPEAKER_04I'm saying not not you, you you don't do Shakespeare. Do something else.
SPEAKER_10Which is the worst part of the equation? Who is messing up who in that equation?
SPEAKER_04I think I guess I could how about I say it as Shakespeare would kind of mess you up.
SPEAKER_10He'd kind of taint what's going on with me.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, let's say it that way.
SPEAKER_10He'd ruin my oeuvre.
SPEAKER_04That's right. Okay. That's right.
SPEAKER_10I like that. Who else is running? I'm trying to think of other community productions that I've seen out here.
SPEAKER_04Well, Sonnheim. But that's a musical. And I Sonnheim's always gonna be musical.
SPEAKER_10I can't with that.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_10I can't with that.
SPEAKER_04And that's gonna be big. Sonnenheim's not gonna do it small. When I What about the the do you think the character of Guffman from Waiting for Guffman, do you think he's his name's not Guffman? But you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_10Because he dies.
SPEAKER_04What's his name in Waiting for Guffman?
SPEAKER_10Do you want me to take time to look that up? Nah, it's fine.
SPEAKER_04It's like Corky Vaughn. It's Corky. Something Corky's definitely dead. Corky's gotta be dead.
SPEAKER_10But isn't the whole premise of that movie that it's like a farcically bad movie or bad bar a bad production?
SPEAKER_04I think it's a good production. I think it's silly, but I think it's good. For community production, I think it's accurate for a community production. And I think that's would be right up your alley.
SPEAKER_10And you know what? It's about the people.
SPEAKER_04It's about the people. It's about your best friend being a little fairy.
SPEAKER_10This is what I'm saying. Miss Barry was like, no, and I was like, I'm out. I'm out of here. My best friend didn't get to be a fairy. You can kiss my ass. I'm not helping you. I'm not getting you out of this one, Miss Barry. Bye-bye. Yeah, it's about the people. So I'll hit up Quirky. I'll try it.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. Quirky.
SPEAKER_10Romano?
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_10No, that's a movie. What is the name in Murphy Brown? Quirky is the name of one of the reporters. Sorry, I guess we can look this up at commercial. I guess I can't bring up any references, but everyone else is allowed to.
SPEAKER_04Speaking of everybody else. Somebody else we got on the show. This is a person who I am a huge fan of. Yes. I've read their books. I've helped solve their crimes in my mind. Please welcome the show, Ercule Poirot.
SPEAKER_02Hello. Hello. Thank you so much for having me.
SPEAKER_04Thank you so much for having me.
SPEAKER_02I'll take your hand. Oh.
SPEAKER_04Oh my God.
SPEAKER_05Stretch. Stretch. What are you doing? That's just cool. Well, he is really nervous.
SPEAKER_10Well, he doesn't have very nervous. Such a big mystery novel fan. Oh, yeah. Agatha Christie fan. And uh we should really say Poirot fan.
SPEAKER_04I'm a huge Poirot fan.
SPEAKER_02She gets a lot of credit, but I'm doing the work.
SPEAKER_04You know, you're doing all the work.
SPEAKER_02Exactly.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. And I think what's great about you is you do an excellent job. You're always putting the pieces together, but you really do a good job of incorporating somebody else who may be like a victim or uh be a witness around, and you use them to help you solve your crimes.
SPEAKER_02Absolutely. There's no one who isn't helpful. You know, you can go to a gas station and then when you're talking to the attendants there, they might have something, some information that you didn't even realize was going to crack the case because it's it's a psychological thing, you know what I mean? It's not um about uh facts, it's about motive. How do you do know how you died? Yes.
SPEAKER_11Well, it's a little actually.
SPEAKER_04This has been very interesting.
SPEAKER_10This is a very interesting. I love an interesting yes. So we were filming a cable access show on Earth. Okay, and something happened. A spark fused Yeah.
SPEAKER_04We were in the middle, we were holding the microphones, and we were like, and then we got we got shocked, and it I don't think it was storming out.
SPEAKER_10We don't know what it was. We kind of assume maybe it was a thunderstorm, but maybe I I guess there could there have been foul play?
SPEAKER_02Absolutely. There's rarely a deaf without uh foul play. Rarely rarely there's rarely a deaf play in a retirement community when people die of old age. Foul play. Yes, because why do you think so you you're saying it why it isn't even raining out? No, I don't remember it raining.
SPEAKER_04It's it's a windowless room because for sound.
SPEAKER_02Of course, yeah, I understand that. Yeah, so he has a podcast. I have a podcast. You have a podcast? Yes, in the afterlife, I started a podcast. Yes, I have.
SPEAKER_10What's it called?
SPEAKER_02It's called How Did I Die?
SPEAKER_10How did I die? You should have known.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it's it's a little bit of a competition I was surprised you guys invited me here, actually. Because I do think people listen to one or the other.
SPEAKER_04Oh my gosh. We would love to we would love to go on your show.
SPEAKER_10I eventually so unbelievably flattered you said our show is in competition with yours.
SPEAKER_04Truly.
SPEAKER_10I think we're creaking in at like 15 viewers or something.
SPEAKER_04We're good. It's getting up there.
SPEAKER_10It's getting up there.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, that's pretty good. I have 15, 16, so yeah. Okay.
SPEAKER_04Only 15 or 16?
SPEAKER_02Well, it's very oversaturated.
SPEAKER_04And I think this is also it's oversaturated, but I think what you said earlier is also true where Agatha Christie gets a lot of the credit. Yes, but you do the work.
SPEAKER_02If Agatha Christie was up here, which she is. She is. She's dead. She she, you know, I actually have a bit of a bone to pick with her because she died, and then she released my story around the same time because she wanted to have the last word on how I die. You know what I mean? Does this make sense? Yes. Yes. And and so she sort of stole my son there.
SPEAKER_04Well, how did she die?
SPEAKER_02Uh old edge is is allegedly what it is, but as we discussed earlier, that's impossible. It's the one case I can't crack.
SPEAKER_04Now that would be fascinating.
SPEAKER_02I know.
SPEAKER_10I need to get on it. That is so meta and so beautiful.
SPEAKER_04It is I I hate to be selfish with my with your time, but I do need to dig into maybe our potential murder.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, of course. Well, first question is this Did you have any enemies?
SPEAKER_04I mean, of course.
SPEAKER_10Well, I was a pretty successful comedian, so I can imagine there are people that maybe jealous or something about the stuff I'm doing.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, of course. Because everybody wants to be doing what you're doing. I mean, what you you what what kind of comedian were you?
SPEAKER_10There's stand-up, there's actor, there's writer. I I did acting acting and then a writing and then um improv, which is sort of like you make it up, and then I wrote sketch. I kind of had to do a lot of stuff.
SPEAKER_02Okay, so you had so that actually opens you up to a lot of different enemies because you could have one from every single pool. Most person has an enemy in each pool.
SPEAKER_10Yeah. Um and each social circle. Yeah, gen generally people have one enemy in each one of their circles.
SPEAKER_02Exactly. Sounds like you have at least seven circles of comedy to be uh worried about.
SPEAKER_10Okay, and we'll leave. You he was trying comedy and like he was doing little videos.
SPEAKER_04They weren't good enough that anybody would want to kill me over.
SPEAKER_10You don't think?
SPEAKER_04I think my number one enemy, and I don't even know, and this is a mystery in itself, is one time I got a comment on a video. Right. And there was somebody that claimed that I was their bully in high school. And I don't remember bullying anybody when I was in high school. Bullies never remember.
SPEAKER_02Bullies think they're being normal.
SPEAKER_04This is what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_02Bullies think they're being normal and fun. Sometimes you think you're being fun. I've I've I've experienced uh a bullying somewhat.
SPEAKER_04You've you have bullied.
SPEAKER_02It's funny if you say I've experienced bullying someone. I have experienced it. That happened to me. I thought that we were having fun, and then I found out later that I was actually terrorizing this kid.
SPEAKER_04This m this must be what it was. Yeah. And that's why I'm concerned that this person might be coming after me.
SPEAKER_02Well, what kind of bullying did he say you did?
SPEAKER_04Well, what they said was uh it it was in reference to a video where I called the town of people I grew up with a bunch of honkies because they were 99% white people.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Okay.
SPEAKER_04And they said this person was a popular kid and a bully, and they bullied me in particular, and I can't believe he would say this after we welcomed him into our community.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god. That's an enemy. That is an enemy. That's an enemy. That's an enemy. Have you guys seen uh 30 rock? Yes. It's the Liz Lemon effect where you felt like you were being bullied, but you were actually bullying.
SPEAKER_10I cannot believe I'm hearing Liz Lemon effect from Hercule Poirot.
SPEAKER_02I have to say, afterlife, I've caught up on a lot of people.
SPEAKER_04We had Elaine Stritch on the show, also, who plays Jack Doneggy's mom.
SPEAKER_02Thank you for that little background information. It had slipped my brain. Yeah. That's incredible. Jack Don, he is an incredible guy. The suit, Jack Donnegy, is an incredible guy. He's my idol.
SPEAKER_04He is your idol? He's my favorite character on the show. I agree. He actually is also my favorite character in the show. But I can't believe that you would idolize anybody. I feel like so many people now should be idolizing you.
SPEAKER_02Well, it's when I was on Earth, I didn't idolize anyone. Yeah. I really didn't. When you're king shit, why would you idolize anybody? Exactly. I walked in a room, people were nervous, they were excited, they were scared. Like I had a lot of power.
SPEAKER_01For sure.
SPEAKER_02It's been very humbling to be in the afterlife. Because there are a lot of powerful people here. And I'm sure there's a lot of detectives up here.
SPEAKER_10Absolutely. Holmes. Holmes famously died. Nancy Drew.
SPEAKER_02Can we not? Not Holmes. No, I come on. Okay, sorry. This is my competition. Like, come on. Sorry.
SPEAKER_04I think I will say I the only other thing I'll say about him is I think you're a much better detective. I feel like he's sloppy.
SPEAKER_10Thank you.
SPEAKER_04He's getting into trouble constantly.
SPEAKER_10Well, I think he I he's an addict, not to vilify addiction, but he's an addict.
SPEAKER_02I've never taken an ounce of anything in my entire life, and I'm solving crimes. The most I've done is eat too much bread. That's the most I've ever done.
SPEAKER_04I know. I feel like you're very put together. Uh-huh. You got you got your mustache that's so very neat and particular. Very particular. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You have great facial hair. Thank you very much. Oh my god, I feel so I've literally got chilled. I'm like chilled.
SPEAKER_02This is so huge for you.
SPEAKER_04Uh, can you tell me what your favorite murder was that you ever solved?
SPEAKER_02Oh, okay. So this is one that was never uh totally publicized.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. And it was uh one that happened to a neighbor of mine. Uh that neighbor uh disappeared one day.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_02And we didn't know what had happened. Everybody said, Oh, who don't worry about it. So crazy to say. Yeah, people were like, stop reading. Yes, I get it. So suspicious. It was so suspicious.
SPEAKER_04Was it the person that said don't worry about it?
SPEAKER_02It was. Ultimately, yeah. Because everybody kept trying to tell me, oh, he just went to Florida. It wasn't, it was too cold here for you.
SPEAKER_06You really do help him solve.
SPEAKER_02Yes, thank you so much. So I would love to get your advice on future. Oh, please.
SPEAKER_04Anytime somebody I I mean, I'd love to come on your podcast and try and help you. So the people that come on your podcast, I will say, your the podcast is How Did I Die? It's people who came here and are unsure of their death circumstances, like ours.
SPEAKER_02Exactly.
SPEAKER_04And I assume many times it's murder.
SPEAKER_02Exactly. Every time it's murder.
SPEAKER_04Every time it's a 100 out of 100%.
SPEAKER_02So the question is answered. How did I die? Murder.
SPEAKER_11Murder.
SPEAKER_04Well, but you want to know more. You want to know how, how.
SPEAKER_02But you, as you guys know, it's very important social clips. Even in the afterlife, social clips are important. It's so important.
SPEAKER_04You gotta get clips.
SPEAKER_02So I do say that at the top of every single clip. How did I die? Murder. And then we break it down. So even if you only have five seconds of of of of of of of attention. Yes, this is very good for you guys to know. Even if you have five seconds of attention, you know how the person died.
SPEAKER_10Yes.
SPEAKER_01Murder. Murder.
SPEAKER_10I I do want to dig into this before we bring up the next guest. Because you we I possibly have seven or more enemies. At least.
SPEAKER_02Because it sounds like you tried everything.
SPEAKER_04I mean, I You just kept trying and trying and trying.
SPEAKER_02I sketch. Right. Character. We kept going one of these one of these issues. I didn't even watch doing them. I wasn't just trying. I was doing them. You were doing them. You were getting paid. Always getting paid for your work. Well, that's not even very common in comedy. That's not common in comedy. Detective different.
SPEAKER_01You were always getting paid.
SPEAKER_02I always got paid. Unless I was on vacation and then I had room and board paid for.
SPEAKER_04Oh, sometimes they would just say, Oh, you thank you. Has anybody gotten murdered in a visa?
SPEAKER_08Because then you're like done that. And then like we'll give you room and board.
unknownWe'll give you room and board.
SPEAKER_04We'll pay for your flight. Come on out, we'll solve the murder.
SPEAKER_10First class?
SPEAKER_04Sorry, we can't.
SPEAKER_10Yeah, not often. Yeah, that makes sense. Okay, so wait. I have seven or more enemies. Well, Lee has at least one.
SPEAKER_04I know I have the one.
SPEAKER_10You have the one. What how do we go about narrowing this down into the murder that inevitably happened and the motives?
SPEAKER_02So basically, what you need to do is you need to go around and talk to someone you think has nothing to do with it.
SPEAKER_04God, there's so many people that probably had nothing to do with it.
SPEAKER_02So, like, yeah, perfect. So that's good. You should have like 50 people to talk to. Okay. Okay. Uh, who's someone just completely random in your life that maybe knows you but not that well? And they're alive or they're dead? They're alive.
SPEAKER_04Uh, my uh fourth grade teacher, Mr. Smith.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god, well, that's a perfect place to start because he maybe saw the bullying. Oh my god, yes. So, what you need to see is how the bullying fallout affected the bully's life. Right? Because let's say you bullied him, maybe he wanted to be a hairdresser, and you bullied him, and so he never cut hair again, and now he grows up and he has long hair and then he tripped over it and falls and dies, right? Let's say that's what's happened. Let's just say.
SPEAKER_04Okay. I don't think I would bully somebody out of becoming a hairdresser. I don't honestly I don't know even what form that would take.
SPEAKER_10I do sometimes feel bullied, you know, because you don't have hair on top of your head, and I'm wondering if that's a comment. You guys have opposite hair.
SPEAKER_04We have opposite hair.
SPEAKER_02On top, on bottom. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04That's upside down.
SPEAKER_02So did you have someone in your life who was jealous of your hair or wanted to turn that to the case?
SPEAKER_10That's so nice. Um, I am unfortunately Indian and Unfortunately. Unfortunately.
SPEAKER_04Hi, I'm Ray Shaw, and I'm unfortunately.
SPEAKER_07What I have to say is that people have a really specific understanding of what Indian hair should look like.
SPEAKER_10And so I actually uh was made fun of for my hair by a lot of people in my family for a long time. So potentially a link. Yeah, I guess. Oh, yeah, if Walid was in my family, which he's trying to be.
SPEAKER_02And if he uh bullied someone out of being a hairdresser. Right.
SPEAKER_10My first theory. So you're how often do episodes your podcast takes? It feels like it would take years to accomplish what.
SPEAKER_04What are you talking about?
SPEAKER_10He just jumped, he just solved this whole thing about Because you you what are you we So we're landing on the hairdresser?
SPEAKER_01Yes, right.
SPEAKER_00We are landing on the hairdresser.
SPEAKER_02What we do is we follow that path first. Follow the thread. Yes, and then it will unlock another thread. It's never the first theory. Okay. It's always like the 15th. Okay.
SPEAKER_04At least But sometimes then it goes back to the first. Okay.
SPEAKER_02Often it wins. Often it will circle back to the first.
SPEAKER_00Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_02But you need all that other stuff to find out something like the um the weapon, you know? And are we just pontificating or are we asking? Are we like calling Mr. Smith? I would call him if he'll pick up. How old do you think he is now?
SPEAKER_04Um, he's got he was probably in his 40s when I was eight. So he's probably in his 70s now.
SPEAKER_10He's going to love this. He's gonna he honestly will love this. Yeah. How many of us wouldn't be so excited to hear from a former student to be asked about their murder?

SPEAKER_00Still scared.
SPEAKER_04The male and female beings looked probably very similar at the time when you were around. To now? Compared to now. Look similar to each other. To each other. Just the way that like chimpanzees look like one another.

SPEAKER_10I feel that the point they're trying to make almost is look how different humans used to look. Yeah. Look at this. Isn't this crazy?
SPEAKER_03We always want to feel like everyone different from us at all times of history.
SPEAKER_04Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Now, I have a question that I've been thinking about since I learned you were gonna be on the show.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Now you do consider yourself the first human.
SPEAKER_03I am the first human.
SPEAKER_04Right. You are the first human.
SPEAKER_03Yep.

SPEAKER_04Chicken or egg. I'm just saying, if you're the egg, what was the chicken? Sorry? If you're the first human, what was the chicken?
SPEAKER_03Oh, they were just look, they were just stupid than me. So you know I came out and I was smarter. I have more brain capability.
SPEAKER_04I see. Sentience. Right.
SPEAKER_10Why can't you accept her parents were stupid?
SPEAKER_04They were just stupid. I agree with you. I agree with you 100%. No, I I accept that your parents were dumbasses. Thank you. Yes. Okay.
SPEAKER_03Compared to me, yeah.

SPEAKER_04Right?
SPEAKER_03Not like mine.
SPEAKER_04Not like yours.
SPEAKER_03Mine like eat rocks, scratch butts on each other.
SPEAKER_04Scratch butts on each other.
SPEAKER_03That's not an effective way to get the itch out.
SPEAKER_04No, you're just now that you're doubling the itch.
SPEAKER_03Maybe that's not what that was about.
SPEAKER_04You think it was a sex thing?

SPEAKER_10So you became that must be so crushing.
SPEAKER_04To look around to be like, I'm a fucking human and these dolts.
SPEAKER_10See, I had the more it's interesting. This is very telling. I was thinking from the siblings' point of view to be like, our one sister is the human. And we are nothing. I don't think they were smart enough to have thoughts like that.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. I put myself out there more, you know? Really? I was like noticed. I didn't notice. Yeah. I was like, huh. I can you instead of eating a rock, I'll use it as a tool.
SPEAKER_04Tools. Tools are huge. Mm-hmm. Tools. Tools are huge. Tools are huge in terms of like uh figuring out intelligence. Yeah. Like otters and chimpanzees. Like they use tools.
SPEAKER_03Yes. And I was like, okay, instead of throwing my poop in a hole, I'll use it as paint on a wall of a cave. I wonder which is smarter.
SPEAKER_07One seems like disposing waste.
SPEAKER_04That's a great question.
SPEAKER_03The other one is like decor that's a good thing.
SPEAKER_04That's a difference in time periods.
SPEAKER_03No, poop smelled good then.

She's right here. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_04Oh, what and I don't think I'm not even saying this is just a difference in uh human history, but nowadays those that poop in the hole are actually smarter than the people that paint with their poop.
SPEAKER_03Yes. Okay.
SPEAKER_04It's just a change. It's just a change.
SPEAKER_03Things change.
SPEAKER_04Things change.
SPEAKER_03That is inevitable. The only thing you can't avoid in life is change. That's very true.

SPEAKER_03No. Oh, fascinating. Did you have any enemies? So many enemies. What was your number one enemy? Could have been my parents, could have been my siblings. Her parents were dumb and her siblings were dumb.
SPEAKER_02Oh, okay. So that brings them all into the picture as potential consistent.
SPEAKER_04You can always you can always count on someone who's dumb to potentially be a suspect.
SPEAKER_02Absolutely. Rarely do they actually do it because it's too easy. You know what I mean? With a murderer, it's usually harder. Yeah, so you you let me ask you this. Did you bully anyone or were you bullied? And did you make anyone think they couldn't be a hairdresser?
SPEAKER_03Bullied bullied lots of people.
SPEAKER_04You bully bully lots of people.
SPEAKER_03Went around going, you're stupid, you're stupid, you're stupid.

SPEAKER_03Because you're around stupid people?
SPEAKER_04Fucking always, dude.

SPEAKER_04Lucy, I I don't want to distract so much, but I I'm so curious. Did you give yourself the name Lucy? Or did was this something that was put on to you by later you guys?
SPEAKER_03Why you look at me? They name me Lucy. Other people name me Lucy after they found me. What's your real name? I want a better name. Something cutie like Circia. Or Genevieve.

SPEAKER_10And then instead of an H, which is I think what you'd expect.
SPEAKER_04I was expecting an H here.
SPEAKER_10Yeah. I think we're gonna go uh what's kind of the vibe of an H, but it's different, like a T.
SPEAKER_02Uh It shows a vibe of an H. You know what I mean? Because it's straight.
SPEAKER_10That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_04It's it's this similar geometrically. T is giving H.
SPEAKER_07I'm literally giving H.
SPEAKER_10Think about it. We're gonna put a T and then um E. Two T's coming is an H. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. And then an A is like an H that's like doing the YMCA and the A part.
SPEAKER_04I see what you're saying. An A is it clapping.

SPEAKER_03Uh like what was your life like? I had uh uh there was a big woolly mammoth.
SPEAKER_01Oh we used to fuck. You fucked a woolly mammoth? See, I used to fuck, yeah.
SPEAKER_10This is so interesting because like obviously the species has evolved. I do feel that we in 2026 don't wanna fuck animals. Watch it.
SPEAKER_02Well, it's not about want or not want, it's about allowed or not. Do you think you it's because you can't that you won't? Which maybe makes you want more.
SPEAKER_04Are you saying because woolly mammoths aren't currently because they're extinct, we're not having sex with them.
SPEAKER_03They were cool guys.
SPEAKER_04They were cool guys.
SPEAKER_03They were cool.
SPEAKER_04They do seem like the coolest big animal.
SPEAKER_10I think we we missed out on a good big animal.
SPEAKER_04I agree, and I think that they're trying to bring them back.
SPEAKER_03That's true. Don't do it. Don't do it! Don't do it. Why not? I don't know, because leave us alone, man.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03Leave us alone. Leave who alone?
SPEAKER_02Just like they're trying to bring me back. She doesn't want to see our ex. That's what it is, I bet. I'll bring some back. Leave us alone.
SPEAKER_03Maybe it was if that if it was that simple.
SPEAKER_04Have you seen your ex up here?
SPEAKER_03Uh yeah, I have lots of exes up here. I've been here for so long.
SPEAKER_04Oh, okay. So you dated on Earth, Mole Mammoths, but who who have you dated in the afterlife?
SPEAKER_02Well, we well we just whitewash. It was a fluke of a right. We were whatever. Like it barely. What do you mean whatever? I sort of, you know.
SPEAKER_04I'm sorry that we I didn't this was not intentional.
SPEAKER_10It's okay.
SPEAKER_02We decided together that we weren't gonna make it weird.
SPEAKER_10So crazy. I could never be this chill with an ex on the Well, here's what I did.
SPEAKER_03You know the thing um where if you move into a neighborhood and you are an offender, you have to knock on every door and go, hello. Yeah. I live in your neighborhood now. I kind of did that, except I knocked on every door and I went, hello, I haven't had sex with you yet, and I'm so bored, I've been here forever. Let's have sex. So I went door to door having sex with everyone. Reverse. Hello.

SPEAKER_04Oh, you didn't know she was going door to door.
SPEAKER_02I thought it yeah, I thought it would just be my dog, but it's cool. I'm sorry. That's okay. I am sorry. It was amazing. I don't know why you ran. Maybe because it was so good.
SPEAKER_03It was really, really good. Yeah. I I don't know. I just keep running because I don't know where to go anymore. You know? But you can run home to me. I could, but then what? You know, we we keep doing this back and forth and then and then what?
SPEAKER_02We build a family, we make a life, we we lean on each other for things, we fall in love deeper and deeper every day. And then what?

SPEAKER_01Yeah, the deathback of the Christine. He's already the one. Oops. I I'm wondering if you're Guevara, if every time there's a mystery you can't solve, you just the one mystery I cannot solve.
SPEAKER_02You know what? This is really bad for my reputation. I need to take that back. That is the second mystery. I do not know. That's a good save. Really huge. That would cover the bases.
SPEAKER_04Okay. I'll edit out the middle part.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I don't actually, if you don't mind, I would love to just say second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and then you edit that in if you hear mystery. So what's cool? Yeah, that's cool.
SPEAKER_10I'll go back and if you ever say that again, I'll just You could be funny and just edit seventh into that one so that To give you some space. That could be funny.
SPEAKER_04That could be funny. That could be funny. That could be funny.
SPEAKER_10Wait, I we can't have her kill poiro here with two mysterious deaths not try to solve it. It's it's Chekhov's gun.
SPEAKER_04Her death and our death.
SPEAKER_02What do we do? Who killed us? This is the this is the seventh mystery I cannot solve. Do you know what actually is a little hard for me because in the afterlife I'm constantly getting asked to stop you're on vacation right now? I'm I mean in a sense.
SPEAKER_11Because I was gonna say vacation for you just means we don't pay you. I get loop and you do the thing anyway.
SPEAKER_04Also, that is such a vibe of the mysteries constantly, is like you just show up and you're the neighbor visiting for the summer and somebody gets murdered next door. Yeah. That happens constantly. You're retiring and you're like, I got roped back in again.
SPEAKER_02I can't escape it. It's just how it works.
SPEAKER_04Unfortunately, murders are all around us, especially in a land where we all have died.
SPEAKER_02Everything is in murder. And if you really want me to tell you how you died, I will tell you. But then you have to live with that information. Wait, so you know? I think I do. It just kind of came to me as I was sitting here.
SPEAKER_04Oh my god, that is how always how it happens with Hercul Purrow.
SPEAKER_10It's so crazy because in the book you expect some big climax. No. But he'll kind of just be sitting for hours and hours, and then someone's like, Would you like tea? And he's like, I know who did it. And we're like, we've all been freaking out.
SPEAKER_04The craziest thing that you do, and I love you, Ercuil. I love you so much. But the craziest thing that you do is you'll be with the guy who you've been working for like six weeks on this case, and you're like, I got it. And the guy's like, Oh, really? And you're like, Yeah, let's let me get everybody in a room and then I'll tell you. It's like, can you just can you tell me?
SPEAKER_02No, it's more fun to be a group thing. Yeah, you can't do it. It is more fun. And then it comes out a little more evident. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah.
SPEAKER_04And somebody will like try and run away or whatever.
SPEAKER_10Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_10Okay, we gotta know. Lucy, how did Lucy die? Are you comfortable knowing this information?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, tell me something new, I dare you.
SPEAKER_02Well, you died tripping on a rock because your little sister put it there. She put it there? She put it there. She knew you were going to walk to do your final masterpiece of poop painting? And she put little rock in the way.
SPEAKER_03So she was not as stupid as I thought.
SPEAKER_04Wow. So she was probably the second human.
SPEAKER_03She's probably up here. I have to find her. Unless she's in hell. I have to find her. You do. Maybe that's my one true love. Your sister? No, I don't think so.
SPEAKER_10That's definitely something that's changed.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, back then they probably were going to get each other constantly.
SPEAKER_10Yeah. For now, times we don't do that anymore.
SPEAKER_03But if she has an eighth of Eleanor Roosevelt's personality, I have to at least try. I think an eighth is a low bar.
SPEAKER_10And I think an eighth is a low bar. There's actually gonna be a lot of people that were kind of like Eleanor Roosevelt up here.
SPEAKER_04I think it'd be hard pressed to find somebody that isn't an eighth like Eleanor Roosevelt.
SPEAKER_10Yeah, I don't I we don't have to go to sister immediately.
SPEAKER_02Yes. I think I think there's other eligible people maybe right in front of your eyes.

SPEAKER_02You were his greatest enemy in a competition you didn't even know you were a part of. Another comedy competition. Short form. Did you ever do comedy start? No, but I had stupid friends who did. That's the thing. Fuck. You don't even have to have done it for people to be jealous because they are turning to each other as they're going, Oh, she's going to be so good and she didn't even train.
SPEAKER_10I did two dropout improv shows with some comedy sports people, and we did short form. And I must have done so fucking well. So good at it. That somebody was like, That's my enemy, and now we're in competition.
SPEAKER_02You probably blew them out of the water, and everybody was embarrassed because they had trained so hard and then you did it effortlessly.
SPEAKER_03So you are saying it was one of the people, maybe in that show?
SPEAKER_10Well, that's what the bully. Right? Is that what you're saying?
SPEAKER_02Or who was in the show?

SPEAKER_10He's so funny. Um Oscar Montoya?
SPEAKER_04Oh, I think he's older than me. I don't think I would have bullied somebody who's older than me.
SPEAKER_10Then there was um Also, what if it's not a man?
SPEAKER_03Why so hard to remember last person?
SPEAKER_02There's gotta be Why so difficult? There's gotta be made not memorable last person? Maybe not. There's gotta be somebody else. Wait. Often that just slips through your mind, the one who's sort of just like making connections and bringing the thing to pay.
SPEAKER_04Probably exactly why that's the person that murdered you.
SPEAKER_10It was um It was uh really taking so long.
