SPEAKER_05

I'm Raya Shunker.

SPEAKER_00

And I'm Wave Mansur. And We're Dead.

SPEAKER_05

Hello, everyone, and welcome to We're Dead, the only podcast in the afterlife that does any traction.

SPEAKER_00

That's right. Yeah, we died about a year ago now at this point, and we get a chance to sit down with a bunch of dead people and chat with them and see what they've been up to, how they died, uh, and maybe let them say their piece.

SPEAKER_05

Exactly. Speaking of peace, Willied, how are you doing? I know last time we talked, you were uh you were combining to be a kicker.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Um, it's it went well. I think I was I feel I felt like I kicked great. Yeah. Uh, but then the interview portion happened and I think there's an interview portion? Yeah, because I gotta make sure you're sound of character in mind.

SPEAKER_05

They make sure football players are sound of character in mind.

SPEAKER_00

That surprises you.

SPEAKER_05

Yes, they seem not sound of character and they all have STDs.

SPEAKER_00

And they all have STDs.

SPEAKER_05

You can be sound of character with an STD completely, and you can be sound of mind. I'm at C T.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. Yeah, so they do they do it because they want to make sure that, you know, if they're with if they pick somebody, yeah, that that person sticks around for a while. Okay. Uh and will make a good impact and won't have off-the-field issues.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I just did I feel like I botched it.

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

I feel like I botched it. I run an interview show, but the idea of getting interviewed, I think, threw me for a loop. Yeah, it's because I'm just asking questions.

SPEAKER_05

Like today, we're interviewing like a famous inventor and kind of something paranormal, which I'm excited about. So you have tons of experience in this world.

SPEAKER_00

I know, I know, but I'm always on the other side of it. I'm always the one asking questions. Yeah. I feel like I was like floundering, trying to think of like what was the nicest thing you did on earth? Like the nicest thing I did on earth.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Okay, wait. Do you want to like practice? Because you get do you get a second chance or no?

SPEAKER_00

I don't think I do, but maybe, but I could go again next year. I could go again next year. So yes.

SPEAKER_05

They make you wait a year to kick it.

SPEAKER_00

Let's let me do, let me do some, give me some questions. Okay. Here we go.

SPEAKER_05

Uh, what would you say is your biggest strength kicking wise?

SPEAKER_00

Foot.

SPEAKER_05

Foot.

SPEAKER_00

Foot.

SPEAKER_05

That feels right to me. I know, right? Okay. What is your what is your biggest weakness kicking wise?

SPEAKER_00

The other foot. Like I'm only good with one of them.

SPEAKER_05

But that seems normal.

SPEAKER_00

I see you? Okay, so I'm doing good. Yeah. But maybe you're also not intimidating, so it could be that's part of it.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. You think you're intimidating? I don't know why I'm catching strays during an interview. This might be why you're not getting the job.

SPEAKER_00

I was, I was, I'm telling you, I was antagonistic the whole time.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, and I'm feeling that. Okay. Yeah, you don't you didn't book.

SPEAKER_00

Man, I'm now wondering. And I don't mean to like put the blame on you at all, but like how much our relationship has caused me to be like become more antagonistic.

SPEAKER_06

Excuse me?

SPEAKER_00

I'm wonder okay. I'm wondering how much our relationship has Yeah, I heard you. Oh, sorry.

SPEAKER_05

I am literally so much nicer than I need to be to you. I I have told you time and time again, you don't even understand how generous I am being with not popping off at you all the time.

SPEAKER_00

Thank you. I uh once again, thank you for not popping off at me constantly. How are you?

SPEAKER_05

I'm fine, I guess. Uh wow. Um, I think I told you I was interested in taking singing lessons.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

But I didn't want to get big timed by Aretha Franklin in my class.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um, so I'm looking for kind of more of the um the like 27 club guys that died when they were 27, like your Kurt Cobain's and your um sorry, I was thinking 700 club, which is like whatever, yeah, super Christian.

SPEAKER_05

No, I'm not looking for those guys. I actually profoundly trying to avoid those guys.

SPEAKER_00

I would be surprised if they're here for being honest.

SPEAKER_05

And me too. I haven't seen them.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, 27. So Jimi Hendrix, yeah, Amy Winehouse.

SPEAKER_05

Yep. I'm trying to get singing lessons from them because maybe River Phoenix.

SPEAKER_00

No, he died younger.

SPEAKER_05

And was he a singer?

SPEAKER_00

You know, with River Phoenix, he could do everything. He could do everything. Sure.

SPEAKER_05

Sure. Yeah. Um, so yeah, I I I I contacted Amy, hadn't gotten haven't gotten a total response because you have to, you know, you're you're in a way, I'm auditioning when I'm doing a voicemail because if they don't like my voice, maybe they don't want to teach me singing.

SPEAKER_00

They'll hear the voicemail and they'll go, this person stands on chance.

SPEAKER_05

Right. So I'm trying to be like, hi, it's Rick. You know, like give a lesson.

SPEAKER_00

And that is your singing voice. Now, last on the last episode, I believe I sang a number of times, and I don't think you have the opportunity to bust one out. Is do you want to potentially bust one out right now?

SPEAKER_05

Um, I feel like I don't.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. I will say I was at one point, I was roasted in the comments. Uh, because apparently, apparently, uh this show is not just on our public access in the afterlife. Apparently, people are putting it on the internet.

SPEAKER_05

We didn't know that. I guess thank you.

SPEAKER_00

Thank you to whoever's doing that. Hopefully the money or the compensation, whatever comes our way. But people have been leaving like a bunch of comments. So I I took some of the I got I grabbed some of the comments and I thought it'd be fun for us to look at that.

SPEAKER_05

I would love to.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, do you want to just maybe we can like look at one of them and you want to pick one at random? Yeah. Alright.

SPEAKER_05

I can need to pick that one.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

What's this one?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, this show is not good. One star. So okay.

SPEAKER_00

Why did I write that one? You know, what's I should have noted that.

SPEAKER_05

It's interesting. I'm using context clues here, and I think I get the gist. But I have to say, sometimes a star system is not what you think it is. Yeah, because like sometimes like a uh like one star.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, one star is immensely powerful.

SPEAKER_05

Right. Like the sun. In the mmm.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, or Beetlejuice, you know?

SPEAKER_05

Right. So that's good. In the Michelin world, having one star is unbelievable.

SPEAKER_00

Incredible.

SPEAKER_05

It's it's not one star.

SPEAKER_00

Maybe it's one Michelin star. The thing that makes it the thing that gives me pause is it does say is not good. And that's kind of hard to interpret differently.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, this show.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, this show is yeah.

SPEAKER_05

This show. This show is not. What if there's missing punctuation?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yeah. This show is not, period. Good.

SPEAKER_05

Good one star.

SPEAKER_00

Good one star.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, this show is not still feels bad.

SPEAKER_00

But what's nice is when you leave a star rating in the comments, it actually doesn't affect our star rating.

SPEAKER_05

By just typing one star, it doesn't and actually I would encourage anyone who wants to rank us rank us one star to just write it. Um, because it's not registering.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, if you're if you're ranking us five stars, do that in the star meter thing.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah. Um, awesome. Well, this was a really good segment idea.

SPEAKER_00

Maybe, maybe, maybe the next one will be better.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I hope. Um, well, I'm kind of excited to talk to our first guest. I don't know how you feel.

SPEAKER_00

I'm very excited. Uh, you know, I I was able to look a little bit of the history of this person, and um, obviously they're a famous inventor. I assume everybody knows their name.

SPEAKER_05

Please welcome Alexander Graham Bell.

SPEAKER_03

Hey. Hello there to my friends. Hi there. You doing all right? Yes. I'm doing all right.

SPEAKER_05

You're finding your touchstone phrase.

SPEAKER_03

Uh, yes. What would be one?

SPEAKER_05

Uh, because you're Scottish, right?

SPEAKER_03

Donkey. Donkey. Donkey. I think Donkey. Donkey is a good one.

SPEAKER_05

I feel like that's what old Scotsmen were using. We're saying donkey. Is that where Shrek got it? I think Shrek got it from Donkey.

SPEAKER_00

You think they started saying Donkey? Yeah. Okay, because all the Scottish people were saying donkey.

SPEAKER_03

I just saw that movie, by the way. You just saw Shrek? Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Does it feel accurate?

SPEAKER_03

Uh incredibly so. Yes, it does.

SPEAKER_05

May I ask to what?

SPEAKER_03

Uh just the way that we were. The people that would mill about and whatnot. Uh-huh. Living in swamps, grabbing earwax. Yes.

SPEAKER_02

Speaking of earwax, hey.

SPEAKER_05

You probably are intimately equated with all things ear because you created the like US patent for the telephone.

SPEAKER_03

That's right. So you've got one of my babies right here now here.

SPEAKER_05

Now, what's interesting is nobody has called in on this phone, which is always available to call in. Okay. Um, so please, it would actually mean a lot to our guests.

SPEAKER_03

Now would be a great time to call on. It'd be a great time to call in. Give us a couple of stars, if you will.

SPEAKER_05

Please.

SPEAKER_03

More than one would be great. Please.

SPEAKER_05

And if it's not five, I guess you can just verbalize it over the phone because that doesn't really count. That's okay.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, we don't mind.

SPEAKER_05

Um, yeah. Please tell us how did you come about creating that phone?

SPEAKER_03

Well, let me tell you what. I am intimately aware of all things hearing. Yeah. For me, wife and me mum. Both deaf.

SPEAKER_04

Wow. Okay.

SPEAKER_00

This is something that I did know, and that's what you led you to start looking into. Yes. Trying to help people. Hey, yes. Right?

SPEAKER_03

That's right. And I got to the phone. It got to the point where we made the advancements needed to create Donkey. Yeah, anytime you needed to switch. We can help you out, too. Donkey. Great. It got to the point where we were able to create the telephone. And it appealed not just to those who've hard of hearing, but don'tke. To people all over the world. Did it spread fast? Very fast. Yeah. Very fast. It caught on like, let's see. Um, what would you say today? Ska music. Oh.

SPEAKER_05

Oh. I would almost say that's like we're like 25 years behind.

SPEAKER_03

Are you a big ska guy? Or maybe third wave. Uh third wave. Sell out. Is now the third wave? I think. Real big fish, if my understanding. Yeah, real big fish. It's a bit ahead of my time. But uh, I believe that's third wave ska. And I'll tell you what, it's the best.

SPEAKER_05

Wait, real big fish is ahead of your time?

SPEAKER_03

Ahead of my time?

SPEAKER_05

Well, this is interesting. Is that considered ahead?

SPEAKER_00

So you just recently got into I just recently got I mean, it was I was before their time.

SPEAKER_03

You were before their time.

SPEAKER_05

They're ahead Fair enough.

SPEAKER_03

There we go. There we go. Yeah, yeah. And I'll tell you what, what that leads me to why I'm here today. Oh. I know you look at me as some great inventor. Of course. As someone who's maybe led the way and has climbed mountains. But I'm here to tell you right now, I pale in comparison to the recent inventors of your time.

SPEAKER_00

Stop it. You came here to tell us that you pale in comparison?

SPEAKER_03

You hold me up in too lofty of esteem. No.

SPEAKER_05

I almost feel like many people probably don't know who you are, but continue.

SPEAKER_03

The other day I went out for dinner. And when I say I went out, I mean I went out for pizza. Okay. And for the first time in my life. And I've never seen this before. There was cheese within the crust. And I tell you right now, as God is my witness, that it may be the greatest invention I've ever witnessed.

SPEAKER_05

Alexander.

SPEAKER_00

Alexander, you compare to the telephone, you changed people's lives.

SPEAKER_05

You pioneered work with people who are hard of hearing, who are deaf. You you made it so that people could communicate across the country. Soft crest pizza is just like a way to get a little extra cheese, which is really good.

SPEAKER_03

It's really, really good. Where would you have put it? If you had meant making the pizza, where would you put it in the phone? I'm an idiot. Right, right. And the tip?

SPEAKER_00

You would have shoved it in the tip of what? What do you So you mean the middle? The point? You don't make pizza a slice at a time. You make a big round one.

SPEAKER_03

You put the big bulbous bounce of cheese right by the tip of the triangle?

SPEAKER_05

I'm not the inventor.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, clearly. Well, good, yeah. I mean, uh, hey, that's as good as any idea I would have had. Don't care. I could not have thought of a place. And they did.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, they did. So I think what they do is they do they take basically mozzarella sticks and then kind of roll it into the.

SPEAKER_05

I don't think they want to admit that they're taking string cheese and putting it in there. It's kind of worth it. But I think they're kind of doing that and just rolling a ridge around. But but Alexander, you said there's greater inventors of our time. Are there other things you're thinking about here besides we have stuff crap pizza? Stuff crap people. You have struck up people.

SPEAKER_00

We got struck up people, which is good. I mean, I I I when I try and think of great inventors, a big thing that you did too is you invented many things, right? It wasn't just like one thing.

SPEAKER_05

And you were so like philanthropic from what I understand. You were like the president of the National Geographic Society.

SPEAKER_03

Well, and in that, yes, I did. Yes, I did. As well as one of the early mind detectors.

SPEAKER_00

Mine detectors? To detective people have mines?

SPEAKER_03

No, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_06

Mine.

SPEAKER_03

Mine. The destructive devices. Now, mine are the mines also destructive devices? They certainly can be. Yes, they can. Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, okay, okay. And then I saw metal detectors too. Which I guess is the same thing, probably, right? Yes.

SPEAKER_05

Mine is like an offshoot. You detect metal and you go, could that be a mine?

SPEAKER_00

Right.

SPEAKER_05

And then maybe it's a watch.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you're like, oh, I found oh, I made a mind detector. And everybody else is like, that's kind of just a metal detector.

SPEAKER_05

We're kind of using that to find paper clips.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, we could kind of find anything with it. Right. Yeah, you're limiting your scope by saying mind detector.

SPEAKER_03

Absolutely. And and I say right now, that's all will and good.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

But you tell me right now, what are you using more? A mind detector? Okay. Or are you using shampoo and conditioner in one bottle?

SPEAKER_05

So, okay.

SPEAKER_03

I use it every day.

SPEAKER_00

You don't.

SPEAKER_05

You do?

SPEAKER_00

You do? Wait, I uh shampoo and conditioning. Yeah. You do?

unknown

You have a shampoo.

SPEAKER_00

What? I use it for my beard. Oh. Wow.

SPEAKER_05

Sorry.

SPEAKER_00

I'm so surprised why you guys are so surprised.

SPEAKER_05

Everybody was thinking about it. We were all kind of thinking about it. So I, you know, we were just.

SPEAKER_03

You just keep it, you keep it tight on top? I keep it tight on top. Hey, you keep it tight, it looks good on you. A lot of people can pull it off. You do.

SPEAKER_05

Completely.

SPEAKER_03

Thank you. You do shampoo and conditioner on the beard? On my beard.

SPEAKER_00

That's right. Really? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I can't do that condition.

SPEAKER_00

I got really oily skin and it followed me into through my death. I don't should I be doing that with my mustache?

SPEAKER_05

Um, do you what combination? Do you have combination? Dry, oily, dry skin, oily skin. What do you think?

SPEAKER_00

I think I have more than the normal. If I'm ranking the inventions of the four that we've bit discussed, I'm still putting phone number one.

SPEAKER_05

I'm putting phone, then stuffed crust pizza very close behind because you've reminded me that people are doing stuff to crust that is awesome. Like making it into a breadstick.

SPEAKER_00

We're doing like turbo crust.

SPEAKER_05

What's turbo crust?

SPEAKER_00

What's turbo crust? Jets pizza does the turbo crust where they have.

SPEAKER_05

Well that seems like a name just because they're called Jets Pizza.

SPEAKER_00

Well, they turbo, you know, like turbo it all up, you know? From zero to turbo. It's turboed. Between zero and turbo, theirs goes all the way to turbo. Yeah, but I don't even know what that means. Well, think about what's not turbo. Plain? Opposite. Yes. Straight up opposite.

SPEAKER_05

Fried turtle.

SPEAKER_00

Turtle? Not turbo. I don't think they're doing a turtle crust. Turtle crust. Turtle crust.

SPEAKER_05

Ooh.

SPEAKER_00

Ooh, good or ooh bad?

SPEAKER_05

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

Because you said ooh gross and then you smiled after. You went, ooh. Ooh. So mine is phone, stuffed crust pizza, shampoo and conditioner, and minded detection.

SPEAKER_05

I go shampoo and conditioner dead last. I can't use that shit.

SPEAKER_00

What? What?

SPEAKER_05

When you have a product that does two things, they do both of them poorly.

SPEAKER_00

Oh.

SPEAKER_05

But a metal detector does one thing, detects metal.

SPEAKER_00

Well, but it to be fair, no offense, it detects too many things. Because originally it was just for mines. But now it's detecting everything.

SPEAKER_05

Listen, okay. If my shampoo was so good that it also like wiped my ass, that's awesome. But shampoo and conditioner is just a worse shampoo and a worse conditioner in one bottle.

SPEAKER_03

I see. I see. Okay, okay. Okay. Hey, well, well, potato, potato. We uh agree to disagree on these things.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, but you also, I guess this isn't an invention, but you founded ain't ATT. You've he founded Yeah, he was a co-founder, I believe.

SPEAKER_03

I was a co-founder of ATT. Alexander Bell Grim Bell. Bell. Used to have Bell in the name, I believe.

SPEAKER_05

Which part? Yeah, tell tele telebells.

SPEAKER_03

Telecommunications. Yeah, I guess there's no really big way to find this out. Uh, but I'm pretty sure the Bell was in the name of ATD at some point. I believe it does the logo.

SPEAKER_05

The logo, I think, was a bell, but it's a circle about it. It's just a circle now.

SPEAKER_03

It's just a circle now. So it's like a blue circle. It's just a blue. It kind of looks like a planet, but it's but it's got lines through it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

It's still going strong though. Which for I mean over a century. Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Verizon's on our heels. It's hot on our heels.

SPEAKER_00

You still pay attention.

SPEAKER_05

Do you know Alexander Graham Verizon?

SPEAKER_03

Yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_00

I have not met that.

SPEAKER_03

What's he like? I'll tell you what. He um he it's he his voice is crystal clear. I'll give you that. I'll give you that in person or over the phone.

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_03

No, he's a good guy. He's a good guy. Don't care. Okay. Listen. Listen. Listen. Hey, check it out. Listen to us. Check it out. Let me ask you a question. Uh huh. When you're on your phone, you love the phone. Like you love phones. And you're on the phone, you're talking to your friends, and you're enjoying a stuff crust pizza. Yeah, I wish. Oh my god. Tell me, tell me this. Is there any better place to enjoy it? They're on a chair that has a little lover on the side and you recline it.

You're a lazy boy.

SPEAKER_05

Crap.

SPEAKER_00

Lazy boy's number one over phone.

SPEAKER_05

It's gotta go. Hold on. Lazy boys over phone. I'm so sorry. I actually think because we keep talking about stuff, crest pizza, that has moved up for me. That's above phones. We're talking about to be fair.

SPEAKER_00

And once again, this is this is not on you. But phones have become kind of like one of the worst things that ever happened to society. But that's not your phone.

SPEAKER_05

I don't know if you're aware what Steve Jobs and his little hooligans did. He's up here.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, they kind of ruined your phone.

SPEAKER_05

They kind of make kids addicted to phones. They make people feel bad about themselves. They ruined your idea.

SPEAKER_03

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_05

You've not heard about this yet?

SPEAKER_03

No, I have heard about uh stuff crossed pizza, Verizon, and uh combination shampoo. Yes, and conditioner, but no. Yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_05

They're they're people are becoming addicted to your product.

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_03

Dear Lord, that's light.

SPEAKER_05

And you it can sometimes be a wallet.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and it can be a wallet too. It does too many things. It could be a wallet. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, either a physical wallet, you could put your money in there and you can have money on your phone.

SPEAKER_03

My God. Could you put photos of your kids on there? Yeah. What? Yes.

SPEAKER_05

Is that good or bad? Because if you put a photo of a kid on this, it'd look kind of silly. It'd look very good. And it better be a thin kid.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. It better be a thin kid. But you're always saying that, Rika.

SPEAKER_05

I think kids are getting too fat.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. What do you think? Thin kids.

SPEAKER_05

unknown

What?

SPEAKER_00

No.

SPEAKER_05

Have you been pretending you don't have a smartphone so that you don't look like a simp?

SPEAKER_03

That's exactly why I've been pretending to not have a smartphone. I don't want to look like a simp. Can you explain one more time, real quick? What is a simp again?

SPEAKER_05

A simp is like someone who's just like simple, like you're simping for something. Like if I was simping for um Verizon, I might like pepper their quote into this cable access show to seem popular because I'm simping for them. Like they didn't even ask me. They don't care about me, but I'm like simping. That's true.

SPEAKER_00

That's like me simping for my child. It's like I invented You invented child.

SPEAKER_03

You invented your child. Yeah. Fair thin.

SPEAKER_05

And honestly, you this is very thin.

SPEAKER_03

It is. I almost forgot I had it. But I'll tell you what, I do love it.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I do love my invention.

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

I don't mean to say it. My inventions are bad.

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_02

Would you trade that for stuff craft stuff craft peepa right now?

SPEAKER_05

Papa pizza?

SPEAKER_02

Papa? Yes. Would you really?

SPEAKER_05

I think we're all ranking pizza as number one. I think we're talking about it enough. We might as well order one.

SPEAKER_02

Let's get one here, staff.

SPEAKER_03

That would be all right. I'd be down.

SPEAKER_05

I'd be down. Okay.

SPEAKER_03

Let's get some pizza. Let's turn on some Se Ferris. Uh some what? Se Ferris.

SPEAKER_05

It's a ska band.

SPEAKER_03

It's a ska band.

SPEAKER_00

Do you think you like ska band because you're Scottish?

SPEAKER_03

Oh well, well, well.

SPEAKER_00

I figured you figured it out.

SPEAKER_05

Wow. Is that the origin?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, is it really? I believe so.

SPEAKER_05

And Scottish being spelled S K A T T I S H.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. Yes. Yeah, they switched it when ska became popular to avoid the association so strongly.

SPEAKER_05

It's so crazy because when you say ska, if you say gun to your head, think of one instrument that back my. It's so backpipe. It's so backpipe. Some people go brass. They go trumpet. They go tube. I go big pipe.

SPEAKER_02

I go big pipe. I go backpipe.

SPEAKER_05

Wow. Okay. I kind of want to order a stuff-crest pizza. Yeah, that's trying to get one of them. And maybe we take a break for a word from our sponsors. Let's do it. We'll be right back.

SPEAKER_00

Going once, going twice, sold. You just bought Freddie Mercury's memory of playing Live Aid. That's right. At the memory auction, you can buy and sell memories. Next up, some guy Keith's memory of kissing his cousin. But she's not your cousin.

SPEAKER_05

And we're back. Willie, I could not be more thrilled for our next guest.

SPEAKER_00

I'm so excited. I mean, this is the first time I will say I've met an extraterrestrial.

SPEAKER_05

Completely. And he's extra.

SPEAKER_00

He puts the extra and extraterrestrial.

SPEAKER_05

Please welcome Cletus. What's up, Cletus?

SPEAKER_01

Thank you for having me.

SPEAKER_05

No problem. Cletus, I uh was reading your description, your bio, and you seem to be a dead alien supposedly found at Area 51. Is that correct?

SPEAKER_01

Yes, that is correct. I am one of the aliens that was found at Area 51. One of? There were multiple?

SPEAKER_05

I think throughout the years, people keep claiming to find dead aliens there, right?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, okay. There have been others. Wait. Some of them came looking for me. I was a very popular guy. How did you do that?

SPEAKER_05

Wait, Cletus is sexy. Sorry. Am I the only one that thinks this? Sorry, I'm trying to. Wait, are you am I the only person that thinks this?

SPEAKER_00

Of the two of us, yes. No offense. No offense.

SPEAKER_05

The way he's talking.

SPEAKER_01

I learned how to speak English from Barry White's song. And it shows.

SPEAKER_00

I wasn't sure if it was that or shaft.

SPEAKER_05

And it shows either way. Sorry. I never get unprofessional. Continue, Cletus.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I crash landed on my way to Vegas because I count cards. And I had watched uh uh minute movies about people counting cards. Which I think should be legal. I think it's stupid.

SPEAKER_05

I think it's stupid that you shouldn't count. You're not supposed to.

SPEAKER_01

Is it illegal?

SPEAKER_05

It's not okay, sorry. It's not illegal. It's frowned upon.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's frowned upon. They might get kicked out. They definitely don't like it. They don't like it.

SPEAKER_05

I think they should. You're just being good at the game.

SPEAKER_01

This is exactly this is my point.

unknown

We're getting on.

SPEAKER_00

You guys are yeah, you guys are off.

SPEAKER_05

Continue.

SPEAKER_00

How did you so you went to Vegas, but uh I feel like maybe the bigger question is how did you get to Earth? Is maybe a bigger question.

SPEAKER_05

That's a huge question.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it was a very long trip. Okay, I guess I could understand that. I I couldn't break that. You want to know the example of the plan?

SPEAKER_00

I mean, nobody from Earth has been to any other planet, period. Nobody from Earth has been to any other planet.

SPEAKER_05

Which feels wrong. It feels like we should have been on Mars by now.

SPEAKER_00

I know. Like but and even farther. I mean, there's no are you from Mars? Are you from this solar system?

SPEAKER_05

I hate to be the person that's asking you where you're from, but where are you from?

SPEAKER_01

What do you mean when you ask me this?

SPEAKER_05

I I mean where your new family is from Where were you born?

SPEAKER_01

Where where was I born?

SPEAKER_05

Well, where's your what race are you?

SPEAKER_00

Like just any of them.

SPEAKER_01

Wow. Unbelievable. Wallied.

SPEAKER_05

I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_01

I never would have thought. It's fascinating. It's fascinating. And what is so fascinating?

SPEAKER_05

Are those your eyes or are those sunglasses?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I'm sorry.

unknown

Fuck.

SPEAKER_00

You're messing it up. Don't mess it up with that.

SPEAKER_05

You messed it up. You asked just. I'm being the bad guy. You race checked.

SPEAKER_01

I'm not. I'm I do want to check your race. What's your race? I can't believe I have to say this. I am black. And these are my eyes. You're okay.

SPEAKER_05

I can't believe I have to say this. I'm black and these are my eyes.

SPEAKER_00

You're your first. Are you black as uh as somebody on earth would be black, or are you black for somebody back home?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, so I'm not black enough. Which is the blackest black? Which is the real black?

SPEAKER_00

There's no real black, but on the Is black a term you picked up on earth, or is it something you said in your home world?

SPEAKER_01

I am I am using terms that would be familiar to you. I'm speaking.

SPEAKER_05

You don't have to code switch for us. I I would love to know your home terms.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. My okay. So my race of people is chameleon. And I chose black because I was coming to Nevada and I did not want to wear a whole lot of sunscreen.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, that's very wise. High melanin count. Yes. That's very smart.

SPEAKER_05

I've never been sunburned.

SPEAKER_00

Summered? Sunburned. Sunburned. Oh, sunburned.

SPEAKER_05

You've never been sunburned? No.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I guess you can't swim, so you don't spend time in a pool. So that makes sense.

SPEAKER_05

What is going on?

SPEAKER_01

Wait, can you really not swim?

SPEAKER_05

No.

SPEAKER_01

Really? With all this water?

SPEAKER_05

You don't have water on your planet?

SPEAKER_01

Not this much.

SPEAKER_00

You're like a dune. Or whatever that's the planet's called. Uh yeah, we are like a dune. Can we get someone else?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, please don't like it's like when people are like, naun is Indian pizza. I'm like, I guess it's just it's a type of bread, isn't that easier?

SPEAKER_00

I would just like to know more about your homeworld. It feels like you're holding out on me. And maybe, maybe I will say, maybe I am uh taking you back to your time at Area 51 where they were, I'm sure, interviewing you and asking you questions and probing you and whatnot.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, maybe a better question. You were on a planet of chameleons, right?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Why why leave? Uh why go to Earth? Great question.

SPEAKER_01

So I've learned a lot about Earth, and it is it is the urge of all intelligent beings to travel. And you you get curious about different things and you want to learn about it and experience it for yourself. Yeah, I get it. The Earth has a very bad rap.

SPEAKER_05

Sure.

SPEAKER_01

Why?

SPEAKER_05

I think Earth is like America for planets. Like we're humiliating. Compared to the other planets, it's very bad.

SPEAKER_01

You all don't have a whole lot of time left. What? What? It doesn't look like we're dead.

SPEAKER_00

It doesn't affect us.

SPEAKER_05

It doesn't affect us, but I'm curious. You have kids. You should fucking give a shit about your kids for once.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I guess I but I did know I did bring them into the world knowing that we have like 30 years left.

SPEAKER_05

Which is selfish.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that's fair. How much time does Earth have? Do you know?

SPEAKER_01

Maybe a billion years.

SPEAKER_05

Oh okay that's actually quite a long time for Earth.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. I for us, that's like wait, do you live like how long do you live? I'm 231 years old.

SPEAKER_00

Is that young or old for your chameleon race?

SPEAKER_01

How old do I look? Honestly, like 30?

SPEAKER_05

I think chameleon don't crack. You look you look like 34.

SPEAKER_01

I am of medium age. Medium age. Okay.

SPEAKER_00

So you live to maybe 500 or so.

SPEAKER_01

And in that amount of time, you don't get to see a whole lot of things. It's a limited amount. So I wanted to see as much as I could. And if I was going to be here, I understood that I needed money. Yeah, really important on Earth.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, so you wanted to go to Vegas.

SPEAKER_01

Mm-hmm. Okay. And count cards.

SPEAKER_05

And count cards. So then how did you end up getting captured in Area 51?

SPEAKER_01

I crashed.

SPEAKER_05

You crashed your spaceship?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, so you didn't even get to Vegas at all. I did not get to Vegas.

SPEAKER_01

Man, Cletus, I'm sorry. I crashed. And they found me.

SPEAKER_05

And did they kill you or were you dead?

SPEAKER_01

They let me die. So yes, they they are they are complicit. Now that's an interesting philosophical question.

SPEAKER_00

If you see somebody die and you let them die, did you kill them?

SPEAKER_01

I don't think they understood that aliens need food. Wait a second. You guys also need food.

SPEAKER_05

We do. We do need food. So they that should have been not a coach.

SPEAKER_01

They did know. They absolutely know that yeah, what else?

SPEAKER_05

Like, what did you you died from like the accident? Like you you they let you just like fester after your crash?

SPEAKER_01

They held me and in a room in a basement. Oh, so while you were alive? While I was alive. What?

SPEAKER_05

They seemed more complicit by the second.

SPEAKER_01

Absolutely. They weren't sure what to do and they watched me do my uh karate.

SPEAKER_05

What? That's a new information.

SPEAKER_01

I'm sorry, you do a you do karate. I pre I practice I you practice the R? Yes. I practice the you don't do karate.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you were just you just said karate. You do marijuana drugs. Am I wrong? Didn't you just say I was doing some of my karate?

SPEAKER_05

We can run it back. Probably not.

SPEAKER_00

Probably not. Okay. I'm sorry. So you were making the art of karate in your room.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. In in in the basement that I was in the basement room that I was given.

SPEAKER_00

Was it just art or was it purposeful? Were you trying to like kick down a gate or summon something? Like, what was the point of making karate?

SPEAKER_01

I was posturing. Um and a little bit too well because they were afraid. They got intimidated. They were intimidated.

SPEAKER_05

Now, question could you not just blend into the walls because you're a chameleon? Sorry. No, crap.

SPEAKER_01

The answer is yes. God damn it. I I'm real You know what? I I I I fault the crash for me not coming up with that brilliant idea. Yeah. That is a good idea. The crash must have caused some kind of uh it it shook up my head.

SPEAKER_05

CTE. Or uh what did I say earlier? STD.

SPEAKER_00

Maybe it gave you an STD. And syphilis does mess with your brain. So maybe you got syphilis from the crass and it messed with your brain. Interesting. Maybe it's one of those things where you were not immune to it. It's the whole like uh when colonizers come and they start getting they bring the diseases. Yeah, you came to Earth and you weren't ready for an STD.

SPEAKER_05

Well, because Earth, we have like microplastics everywhere. We have people not getting tested for stuff. We just like let COVID happen for a long time.

SPEAKER_00

I have a question about your death too. Yes. Now I will say, and I've not explored the entire afterlife. I've yet to see another alien being. Are you in our afterlife and there is a separate alien afterlife that you can't access?

SPEAKER_01

That's what I suspect. I have never seen another alien being here. Oh that's a nightmare.

SPEAKER_05

That means you're not being let into some cool alien afterlife.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I mean, if if Earth sucks, okay, I guess we're running that assumption. If Earth sucks compared to other planets.

SPEAKER_05

Who cares?

SPEAKER_00

It's cool.

SPEAKER_05

Who fucking cares?

SPEAKER_00

It's a miracle that it is a thing.

SPEAKER_01

You know what? It's cute. Okay. I like when people are proud of where they're. Thank you. No matter how shitty.

SPEAKER_00

But if Earth is so shitty, I'm sure afterlife is shitty compared to what would be your alien afterlife. I'm sure as well.

SPEAKER_05

I feel like Alien Afterlife, if I'm just guessing, I feel like it's like parties all the time. I feel like everyone, it's like an orgy.

SPEAKER_00

I'm now realizing I've been to like no parties since I died.

SPEAKER_05

That's a you thing. For sure. I've definitely been to parties. No. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

What are the odds, Wally? Just think about it. What are the odds that there have been zero parties this whole time?

SPEAKER_00

I get to get do get-togethers, but like with like party thumping, people drinking, yeah. Doing drugs. There's no way people are doing that up here.

SPEAKER_05

I literally told you I was hanging out with the guys from the 27 Club.

SPEAKER_00

Don't those Christians, they don't drink or anything.

SPEAKER_05

Kirk O'Bain?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, don't Kirk Obain. I party with Jimi Hendrix the other day.

SPEAKER_00

You did? I'm sure I can see him and an alien getting along. I feel like is alien offensive?

SPEAKER_01

No, no.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_01

Why would that be offensive? Is what I am.

SPEAKER_05

Well This is like when people on earth are like, is it offensive to be like you're Asian? I'm like, it speaks more about you that you think that that's offensive.

SPEAKER_01

Why would that be offensive?

SPEAKER_00

Exactly. I'm proud of Asian. You're you're Asian to you.

SPEAKER_05

The way you say it sounds hurtful.

SPEAKER_00

I'm sorry, I'm also Asian.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, and just the way you're saying it, I don't know. There's like a hate to it.

SPEAKER_00

But alien, you're not an alien to yourself. You're only an alien to us.

SPEAKER_05

Right. Like I'm not diverse.

SPEAKER_00

Like you're alien too.

SPEAKER_05

I'm diverse in a group of people.

SPEAKER_01

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I understand where I am. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. It's fine for you to say that I am an alien. Okay. Here I am an alien. I understand this. Like if you go to Mexico, you are an American, correct?

SPEAKER_00

Yes, but once again, that is where the American is who you are, regardless of where you go.

SPEAKER_05

I don't know. You're stepping in America.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, I'm sorry, alien.

SPEAKER_05

It sounds bad.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. Okay. Okay, alien, move on. You know what? I actually I have uh I've been doing a little bit of work to maybe grow ourselves as a podcast. Yes. So I can actually got a couple segment ideas. Oh, I'd love to do a segment. Interested in doing a segment. Sure. Okay.

SPEAKER_05

And is a segment what like a part of your body might be called?

SPEAKER_01

What? Okay. We can cut that. Okay, we can't guess if you I guess if you really want all this.

SPEAKER_00

Go ahead and pick one of these and just give it to me. Pick one at random. Cut that. I'm trying to play it. Just give it to me. Oh. Okay. Uh, this game is called Kimia Socks. Um, so we lot we learned in our last episode that there's a high likely chance that Kimia Bapornia was the one that led to our death.

SPEAKER_05

And if you don't know who Kimmya is, she's a terrifically untalented comedian on Earth.

SPEAKER_00

Well, don't start the game yet.

SPEAKER_05

God, I just can't help but shit on Kimia. Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, so this is Kimia sucks segment, is we just we go around and we all say one bad thing about Kimmy Bapornia.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. I'm ready. Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Locked and loaded.

SPEAKER_05

Not even, firstly, she killed us. Uh-huh. So whatever.

SPEAKER_00

That sucks.

SPEAKER_05

But one, that sucks. Two, it's literally so typical of her. Because what? Because she is just like kind of like just like so not a like just like a fun or funny and delightful person. Yeah. She has to take other people down. What happened to curly haired women supporting curly haired women? That's what I have.

SPEAKER_00

Thank you. All right, Alien.

SPEAKER_01

Uh Cletus. Um, have you ever seen her on television at a at a Sparks game?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. She's always supporting women's basketball and she's on TV shows.

SPEAKER_01

It's a problem.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I agree. Why can't I be on television?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. And what?

SPEAKER_05

Because I'm bad?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Well, what?

SPEAKER_05

Just because I do a bad audition, I'm not allowed to be on television. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

It really, it's I I say, you know what I say? I say that that is infringing on your right of freedom of speech. Thank you. You should be able to be bad on television.

SPEAKER_05

Because Kimia is like booking all these roles because she's really talented and stuff or whatever the fuck. And I'm like, they're gatekeeping. Yeah, it's kind of called gatekeeping when you get a job by yourself.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Okay. Uh mine is um, you know, I haven't seen her, but I bet you she's really bad at dodgeball. I've never seen her do it, but she probably sucks at dodgeball.

SPEAKER_05

I bet you if I threw a ball at Kimmya, she'd probably move into it. Yeah, she'd probably go, let me move toward it.

SPEAKER_01

Fucking idiot. I've seen it. And you're right. Really? It is unbelievable.

SPEAKER_05

She killed us because she knows we're right. Stinks. All right. Well, that was an awesome segment.

unknown

Great.

SPEAKER_05

Cool.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, after the comment thing, I was a little worried about the segment. Yeah. So I'm glad that worked out.

SPEAKER_05

We're gonna get up to five stars tonight.

SPEAKER_00

Tonight. Uh all right. Well, great. Um, I think that maybe we should take a commercial break and we can get you and Alexander Graham Bell on the couch together. I'm so excited. And I'm pumped.

SPEAKER_04

We'll be right back.

SPEAKER_05

I love the ozone, but I hate the calories. Then you'll love new Diet O chips. All the great taste of the ozone with half the calories of regular ozone. Grab them while they're still hot. And we're back. Uleed. I am so excited for this part of our podcast always.

SPEAKER_00

Me too. I love introducing people to you, but we also get the chance to introduce them to each other. So please welcome back to the show, Khalidas and Alexander Graham Bell.

SPEAKER_03

Thank you for having me back. Ahoy hoy. Ahoy hoy.

SPEAKER_01

Ahoy hoy. Is that a reference to something, or is that just how you greet? According to our radio waves, uh, that was the first message.

SPEAKER_05

Ahoy hoy. Isn't that something a guy on The Simpsons says?

SPEAKER_01

You think he's dope? It's because he's so old. No, you're talking about Mr. Burns. Mr. Burns says Ahoy? Ahoy?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Yes. Sorry. Uh I'm sorry I didn't name him. Mr. Burns says that on The Simpsons. That's not what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_01

I think it's what I am talking about.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, that's what the real phone.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, the first word to we could talk about The Simpsons if you like. No, no, no.

SPEAKER_05

I don't want to make anyone talk about The Simpsons. It's very funny.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I will say now this is interesting because you, when you presented the idea of a phone, I believe wanted people to say ahoy instead of hello. Does it feel like do you what's uh what's with hello? Why don't you like hello?

SPEAKER_03

I'd I'll tell you what, it's not that I don't like it. In fact, it's quite the opposite. I like that people made it their own. Once I gave the gift, then you do what you will with it. It's not for me. It's like um it's like music. Uh are you familiar with the uh song Alive by Pearl Jam? No, I haven't gotten that one yet.

SPEAKER_05

Well, I'm still alive.

SPEAKER_01

Oh that's me singing.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, you finally sang.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I can do Eddie Vetter's range.

SPEAKER_03

You've been taking some voice lessons in the shows.

SPEAKER_05

Stop it. No, I've been taking voice lessons with River Phoenix.

SPEAKER_03

It's good. It's good. It's good. Yeah, it's good. Anyways, the point I was trying to make there. Yeah, what was the point of that? Uh just that initially it was a more of a down and a little bit more of a depressing song. Yeah. But the public in the years since have taken it on to be more of a celebratory song, a celebration of life. And that's just what happens with hello. But my question to you, if you don't mind me asking your question or two. Sure. Donkey. Listen, I would love to know. What is your what was your method of communication on your planet? He would have that.

SPEAKER_01

Whoa, we it's mostly telepathic. Oh. Telewhat? Telepathic.

SPEAKER_05

Wait, do you? Telepathic? Does that bum you out, Alexander?

SPEAKER_03

It just light years beyond what I was ever capable of. It's incredible to hear. I wish.

SPEAKER_05

You know, this is something interesting about both of you. Yeah. Because Alexander, I feel it has been very um, he's comparing himself to a lot of inventions that came after him, like stuff crust pizza. And you, I I know you're not from the future, but you're probably from a uh a planet that has different technology than us. That's probably more impressive.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, but definitely.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. What are some inventions on your planet now that you've seen what Earth is like?

SPEAKER_01

A spaceship. Spaceship's big. It's pretty a big one. Yeah, it's a big one. Yeah, it's a big thing.

SPEAKER_05

So pizza lazy boy spaceship phone.

SPEAKER_00

You go lazy boy above spaceship.

SPEAKER_05

Spaceship first, because spaceship can have lazy boy in it. And then lazy boy.

SPEAKER_00

Well, spaceship can have anything in it.

SPEAKER_01

Kind of. We have pizza in it. We have one. We we have the game of golf on our planet. Yeah. But we only use one club.

SPEAKER_00

Well, does it does it take different forms?

SPEAKER_01

No. It just works for everything.

SPEAKER_05

That's honestly very efficient. I mean, because did Scotland invent golf?

SPEAKER_03

The birthplace of Scott Golf. Yes. Donkey. Great. Donkey.

SPEAKER_05

Donkey. Golf. Donkey.

SPEAKER_03

Donkey. Yes. It's a course. Yes, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_05

Because there's so many um golf courses called like St. Andrews or things like that.

SPEAKER_00

And the name And that's Scottish. Okay, gotcha, gotcha. St. Andrews is Scottish. It's gotta be. Yes, it's got to be. And none of but none of the majors are in Scotland, right? For the PGA? No. That's yes. Yes or no? Which one? I'll say the open. No. The openness, the open championship is in Scotland.

SPEAKER_05

Are you a golf fan? How are you paying attention to Earth Sports?

SPEAKER_01

Listen, since I died and I died in Vegas, and these guys beat me with golf clubs, I had to figure out. Did you karate them? Or yeah. Did you make karate at them? I well, yeah, once they started swinging golf clubs. First, I was doing my karate by myself. Yeah. I was I was just practicing of karate.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I you did say you were you were posturing.

SPEAKER_01

It was posturing. That didn't work very well, though. And it didn't work. They came at me. With golf clubs.

SPEAKER_05

It's interesting because the U.S.

SPEAKER_00

government's coming at you with golf clubs.

SPEAKER_05

We were having a conversation on whether they were complicit in your death, and I would say they are solely to blame.

SPEAKER_00

I would agree. I would agree. It seems like it's their fault. I was trying to give them every benefit of the doubt. The U.S. government, you do not need to give the benefit of the doubt.

SPEAKER_03

Hey, uh before you admit your demise in Vegas, did you get to see the blue man group? Let me adjust my eyes.

SPEAKER_01

Please. The blue man group. Yes. Oh no. No! I never got to see the blue man.

SPEAKER_05

Are you are you asking that because he can turn blue? He kind of looks like he could be Ixnay. In the blue. Well, both of you kind of look like both of you kind of look like you could be in the How do you mean?

SPEAKER_00

What are you saying? Because we would be excellent drummers, I assume is what you're saying, right? Is that what you mean?

SPEAKER_03

Um no. It's a I believe it's because only one of us would have a real use for the shampoo of conditional combination in this for summer.

SPEAKER_05

Yes.

SPEAKER_03

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. Now the US government beat you to death with golf box. And I'm wondering, are you certain that they knew you were an alien?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, they do that to people all the time.

SPEAKER_00

Is that what you mean? That is kind of what I'm implying. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

It's entirely possible. If they thought you were an alien, you would have been hoisted onto a cushion and celebrated. But if they thought you were a person, and not to be political, you chose a type of person that gets targeted by the US government a lot. Damn.

SPEAKER_01

I didn't want to say you chose, I guess, our most targeted race.

SPEAKER_05

I don't mean to.

SPEAKER_01

My god. You all are onto something.

SPEAKER_05

I really hate to be onto something.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I didn't weigh in all the factors. You just you would not have known.

SPEAKER_00

You came to the planet, you thought hi, Melanin count. That's that's is so logic. You did not know unless maybe you were aware of the societal uh implications. Barry White always seemed so happy.

SPEAKER_05

That could be misleading if that's your gauge.

SPEAKER_00

I was saying he's fucking lying. You know, when he's singing, it's a lie.

SPEAKER_03

And we all know some of our greatest clowns are also our saddest. It's true. Robin Williams.

SPEAKER_04

Very sad. Very sad.

SPEAKER_00

Extreme Bozo. Bozo was very scary.

SPEAKER_04

John Wayne Gacy. One of our greatest clowns.

SPEAKER_03

One of our greatest clowns. Really sad. The only thing that could have made him scarier is clown makeup, I'd imagine.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I mean, well.

SPEAKER_00

We have learned that he is up here around. And uh Reka has said in the past that I do give John Wayne Gacy vibes. Yeah. You do.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. I couldn't put my finger on it. You agree.

SPEAKER_00

You agree? I said it. And what? I know you agree, but how do you why do you agree?

SPEAKER_01

It was unidentified. No. I'm sorry, man. No. I'm really sorry.

SPEAKER_03

That's why my mind detector was going off like crazy right before the end.

SPEAKER_05

You should have pointed it up. I should have pointed it up.

SPEAKER_00

You would have seen. Oh you know what I hate about this is it's kind of making me take the U.S. government side. Why they should have beaten into that? Wait, what? Hey, hey. You are an impressive individual. You were creating things.

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_05

Unless I'll take it. Did you do anything really important on your planet?

SPEAKER_00

I really didn't.

SPEAKER_05

Currently, Alexander might be the most helpful.

SPEAKER_00

I just said I really didn't.

SPEAKER_05

Cool. All right. Well, that's that, I guess.

SPEAKER_00

Well, we learned that CT is it follows you into the afterlife. So most d you can kind of get rid of, but uh is kicker not a respected position?

SPEAKER_01

I mean, you really only come in the game twice. Yeah, but it could be for a big deal. But it could be for a big deal. Game winnership, not really a part of the team.

SPEAKER_05

Do they get paid at the same amount?

SPEAKER_01

If they're really good, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

So then why isn't it respected if they're really, really good? They're not doing a whole lot. I'm just trying to understand how you can be good at something.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, so your dad kind of gave you the end and got you a driver's license.

SPEAKER_01

You gave me a driver's license. And I had to get away. Because I wasn't doing anything or making anything of myself.

SPEAKER_00

So that's why you crash landed. Because you didn't actually have any driving skills. Yes. But where you fucking killed Alexander Granville.

SPEAKER_00

Wow, are you selling to this guy?

SPEAKER_01

It was a five-year trip, and I didn't hit anything until I landed.

SPEAKER_00

That is so he's a prophet. It's mostly true. Do you have any favorites?

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_03

They're all contained.

SPEAKER_05

You know, I guess that is nice. He's organized.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, showing up more with a garbage bag full of shit. Could you imagine if he was just showing up with a garbage bag full of shit?

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_00

That's nice. Are you upset because we called you out for murdering somebody? I feel like you're past about that. Well, it didn't make me happy. Well, I'm sure it didn't make Alexander Graham Bell happy. I understand.

SPEAKER_05

It's just you're centering your experience, Cletus, when it's really Alexander Graham Bell that had the experience that you did to him. And I know you apologize, so I don't want to say that there's no such thing as restorative justice, but it's just like I just want to make sure that you two leave the show and it feels like there's a relationship there. It's not like bad blood. Like we hate to create bad blood on the show.

SPEAKER_00

That's true, that's true.

SPEAKER_03
