SPEAKER_00

Welcome to another day of viewing on public access television. We hope you enjoy today's programming.

SPEAKER_04

I'm Reka Shunker.

SPEAKER_07

And I'm Wade Mansoor and We're Dead.

SPEAKER_04

Hello and welcome to We're Dead, the afterlife's number one cable access show.

SPEAKER_07

That's right. We get a chance to talk to a bunch of dead people because we've been dead for about a year now. Uh, and it's nice to get to know more people, build a little dead community. It's so nice. It is really, really nice. How are you doing? What's new?

SPEAKER_04

Um, I'm kind of done with my piano lessons.

SPEAKER_07

Kind of done. Yeah. You you just stopped your singing lessons. Are you moving on already? I'm not. I just am trying to be, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, it's okay. It's okay. I realize that I realize that um sometimes like the kind of spontaneity and kind of wild card nature of my personality might be foreign to you.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, that is again. I think what it takes me back to is my wife has this complaint from when she was a child that she would keep signing up for like the intros or the new hobbies, new things. And then two weeks in, she would be like, I'm tired of it. I quit. And she wishes that her mom or dad would have been like, No, you have to stick with it. You have to keep doing it. You clearly liked it for a reason, and now that it's hard, you're quitting. No, keep going. And I kind of want to be maybe the parent for you to say, no, keep doing piano until you're good at it.

SPEAKER_03

You want to be my parent?

SPEAKER_07

I'll be your parent, sure.

SPEAKER_03

I would actually really like that because I feel like I did a lot of self-parenting.

SPEAKER_07

Okay, you're well, then you're not allowed to quit piano.

SPEAKER_04

Why?

SPEAKER_07

You are grounded.

SPEAKER_04

Are you fucking kidding me?

SPEAKER_07

Go to your room.

SPEAKER_04

I fucking hate you, and I never want to be related to you.

SPEAKER_07

Well, you're not. Well, but you could be. Potentially.

SPEAKER_04

This is sick. All right. We'll table the piano thing.

SPEAKER_07

Okay. Um The reason I said that is because of I'm not dating, but I have been hanging out with rake as family members, and that's still going on, in case you were interested. And me and Rodica have not kissed once or anything.

SPEAKER_04

Why did you add or anything?

SPEAKER_07

Or we haven't kissed or anything. What do you mean?

SPEAKER_04

You said kissed once or anything.

SPEAKER_07

Because I feel like if I would have said we haven't kissed once, you would have been like, okay, so then what did you do?

unknown

Am I?

SPEAKER_04

Well, I think you had sex without kissing. Yuck.

SPEAKER_07

You've never had sex without kissing.

SPEAKER_04

Am I the weird one? You've never had sex without kissing? Am I the weird one? I feel crazy. What are you talking about? You have to kiss. You don't have to kiss. How do you get there otherwise?

SPEAKER_07

How do I get where?

SPEAKER_04

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03

What are you fucking talking about?

SPEAKER_07

Let's do a comment. Let's do a comment.

SPEAKER_03

All right, we've fucking just going in there. Hands, all hands.

SPEAKER_07

I'm doing all hands. Fucking nasty. Alright, we're doing comments because we want to try to engage with people more, and apparently our stuff is online. We thought it was just on public access TV.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but evidently it's on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube at We're Dead Show.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, let's see if anybody has any interesting comments for us this time around. Go ahead and Rake. Read that one.

SPEAKER_04

Wow, you always have great guests, but it's so cool that you got PFT. I don't know who PFT is.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, puffed. I assumed it was puffed.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

You always have great guests, but it's so cool you had puffed. You think it's PFT?

SPEAKER_04

It could be puffed. Oh, you know, Doc Holiday was like a smoker, right? Or no?

SPEAKER_07

You think it was Doc Holliday because he smoked? That's puffed. I don't know. We haven't had PFT or puffed.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, we haven't had them, so that that's spam. But honestly, we'll take that. Spam comments are actually equally as valuable. We just need to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_07

We don't really care.

SPEAKER_04

We just need engagement.

SPEAKER_07

So cool that you got puffed. That you got. Maybe that you got.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, we got puffed.

SPEAKER_07

Oh, that you think it's a verb. We got puff. Puffed. Yeah, maybe we got puffed.

SPEAKER_04

Maybe we got maybe getting puffed is like uh when you get more numbers, like your metrics are up and like you're getting puffed.

SPEAKER_07

Oh, we got puffed.

SPEAKER_04

You always great get get buttons. But it's so cool that you're getting puffed finally.

SPEAKER_07

I can't believe you guys got puffed.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. That's very, very nice. It is appreciate that.

SPEAKER_07

I guess it is cool that we got puffed.

SPEAKER_04

That's so nice.

SPEAKER_07

Nice. Cool.

SPEAKER_04

Um well lead, how do you be a little how have you been doing?

SPEAKER_07

I have been doing I've been doing okay. Not great.

SPEAKER_04

You sound bad.

SPEAKER_07

Well, yeah. I, you know, I obviously I didn't make the football team. So I have been trying to drown my sorrows, but I just have been finding it harder to get drunk or high or whatever here. So yeah, it's just it feels like everything takes a little bit longer. So um I actually went back to skydiving to just get some sort of adrenaline rush.

SPEAKER_04

I think that's awesome. Yeah, yeah. Should I try that?

SPEAKER_07

Oh, no. God, no. You?

SPEAKER_04

Why?

SPEAKER_07

Because it's unsafe, Reka.

SPEAKER_04

You never let me do anything I want to do. I'm on my period, I'm an adult.

SPEAKER_07

Do you uh okay? First time I've asked this in the afterlife. Do you still get your period here?

SPEAKER_04

First time he's asked. Been up here a year. First time a friend asks another friend if they're still getting their period. Think about that, ladies. And think about that uterus having people. Think about that.

SPEAKER_07

I think I just assumed you didn't because why would you?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I would think that too, because you can't get pregnant in the afterlife. But guess what, Wooled? Nothing works for people with uteruses because I still get my period. It's actually worse. What? In the afterlife. You suck at your period. Can I tell you something?

SPEAKER_07

Whoever's in charge around here fucking sucks.

SPEAKER_04

I'm gonna be so for real right now. This is me being for real.

SPEAKER_07

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

On Earth, period, about six days. But for about two or three days before, there's a little spotting. And 10 days before the real period date, I'm bloating. So my pants aren't fitting quite right. So that's about 16 days where my body is like not correct.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

And that's over half the month. So I'm always about to be on my period if I'm not already on it anyway. Come to the afterlife. Period, 12 days. Spotting, 12 days. Bloated, 15 days.

SPEAKER_07

That's over a month. Does the oh wait, that would mean that the bloating and the period overlap.

SPEAKER_04

And honey, don't they ever? Don't they ever? Do they ever?

SPEAKER_07

I know we can't have babies. Are you still do you still feel that you're ovulating?

SPEAKER_04

I don't know what the absolute fuck is going on in there. I had a I, you know, they can give you an optional pap smear here. You know, it's kind of just if you're curious, it doesn't if you have cancer, it doesn't matter because you'll just die again and come back. So I I took an optional pap smear and I said, what's going on in there?

SPEAKER_07

And they thought you were gonna say, What's a pap smear?

SPEAKER_04

Do you not know? No, I can tell you.

SPEAKER_07

I I honestly don't know what one is. A pap smear is when I wasn't allowed to go to sex ed when I was a kid.

SPEAKER_04

Is that true?

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Like your parents had to sign a thing.

SPEAKER_07

My parents signed me out, so I got to just go to the gym.

SPEAKER_04

Such a crazy alternative. Um a pap smear is when they open um the vagina and they take a swab like near the cervix to see if like your cells are all normal to detect cervical cancer, HBV, STIs, a myriad of things. Gotcha. Um, they can also see if like your while they're in there, they can see other things going on.

SPEAKER_07

Man, I really always thought it was something getting smeared on, but it's really a smear off.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, they're taking precious items from me. Yeah. They're taking precious mucus from me.

SPEAKER_07

Feels like it should be called a pap swab. Am I crazy?

SPEAKER_04

I would argue this is the thing I care about the least with regards to what the problem is.

SPEAKER_07

So valid. So anyway, what were the revolt? Is also your swab.

SPEAKER_04

They said I have egg-like substances. And I went, egg-like. That's like how Jumba juice serves like strawberry-ish, you know, Swizzler smoothies, where they can't say strawberry. Yeah. Egg-like.

SPEAKER_07

So if you had a baby, it would be like a little freaky guy.

SPEAKER_04

Baby-like. I don't know if you can have a baby. I don't think you can have a baby. No, we haven't seen anybody. We haven't seen the only times we've seen people that look pregnant, quote unquote, which Walid will always step in it for, um, they're just saying they're bloated. That they ate a lot of salt.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, I guess gotta stop guessing because it's all it's I'm over a hundred.

SPEAKER_04

It's it's really safe to just never say anything about someone's body. Just never have a thought about it.

SPEAKER_07

Well, what if they did haven't noticed?

SPEAKER_04

I guarantee you, if I'm bloated and you haven't noticed, I don't mind.

SPEAKER_07

No, what if you haven't noticed?

SPEAKER_04

If I'm bloated, I notice. I notice. And let me tell you, everybody's gonna notice.

SPEAKER_07

Snoop snoop. Because you stink?

SPEAKER_04

Everybody farts when they're bloated. Why? Get off my ass. I'm not the first person that's ever had a period.

SPEAKER_07

Okay. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_04

It's okay.

SPEAKER_07

I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_04

What happens to you in the afterlife? What a bodily change.

SPEAKER_07

Um, well, uh, anything bodily change? No. I I I think I'm still chilling. I awesome. Did I ever tell you about my wet dreams? Or we could just introduce our guest. Do you have a preference?

SPEAKER_04

What is Sophie's choice? Gee, I can't decide. Whatever will I do? Do I want to hear about Walid's wet dreams or do I want to do my job? Huh. I think I'll go ahead and introduce our next guest.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_04

Please welcome Otis Wright.

SPEAKER_05

Hi. Hi.

SPEAKER_04

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_05

Hi, guys. Hi. Hi.

SPEAKER_04

I I am really excited to have you here. Yes.

SPEAKER_07

Thank you for coming. Thank you so much for coming.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, no, no, no. You're Anyplace with a roof. I'm down to come in. Thank you so much.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_06

Having me.

SPEAKER_04

I'm really curious because you are one of the Wright brothers, but not Orville and Wilbur.

SPEAKER_07

Redenbach. Wilberg. Wilbur.

SPEAKER_04

Sorry, sorry. Not Orville and Wilbur. You are another ode uh another Wright brother.

SPEAKER_06

Oh.

SPEAKER_04

And um and someone who I'm not familiar with, to be honest.

SPEAKER_06

Well, it's nice to it's nice to meet you. It's nice to finally get some recognition, which is what I came here for, by the way. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

I'm sure your brothers get all the recognition. You're is there some jealousy there?

SPEAKER_06

There might be I wouldn't call it jealousy, but there might be a little bit of something.

SPEAKER_04

Do you mean sorry, do you mean is Otis jealous of them or are they jealous of Otis?

SPEAKER_06

Well definitely the former.

SPEAKER_04

The former and Is that what you meant?

SPEAKER_06

I if I knew, if I remembered what the former meant, then yes. Is that the same thing? The former was jealous of them. I assume you're jealous of them.

SPEAKER_04

I think they're jealous of you.

SPEAKER_06

I think I am I jealous of them, are they jealous of me? I am jealous. Period. Just period, absolutely. I am a jealous, I'm a jealous man. I'm a jealous man. I'm mad that they did not include me in the history of the Wright brothers. Yeah, I've never heard of you before. That's the problem. I'm really sorry. No, and you're educating yourselves.

SPEAKER_04

Yes. We are always trying to do that.

SPEAKER_07

Yes, absolutely.

SPEAKER_04

And is there something in particular you want to be recognized for?

SPEAKER_07

Yes. How can we get that recognition across to the viewers?

SPEAKER_06

Yes. I was one of the Wright brothers who was in the first couple of planes. Are you wondering why I've got a thing on my head?

SPEAKER_07

I was. I was curious, yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

This thing is keeping my jaw together and my brain intact. Oh. I was in one of the early planes.

SPEAKER_07

He kind of crashed.

SPEAKER_06

Did it. Oh, oh, did it. It crashed. It crashed.

SPEAKER_07

So were you helping to invent it though, or were you just like a test pilot?

SPEAKER_04

Seems like they could have used a mannequin in there.

SPEAKER_06

They could have. They could have. But times were I didn't grow up with cash. I didn't grow up with cash. That's so fine. So they used me. I was their youngest little brother, and they said, Hey, why don't you get in there, Otis? And I was like, Well, no, I'm not going to get in there. And they said, Well, if you don't get in there, then maybe then you're a chicken. And I don't know if you to be called a chicken. At that time? Bok buck.

SPEAKER_04

No, no, that means that's sorry. I know what a chicken is, is what that means. I'm not telling you you're a chicken.

SPEAKER_07

You're not a chicken. To get in a plane before planes were planes. So brave. It's so brave.

SPEAKER_06

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So I'd like a little bit of recognition. I got in the plane when it was one wing. They were doing one wing at a time? They start they had to learn about two.

SPEAKER_07

It was one wing. Check out birds is my first thought with planes. Check out a bird. How many wings a bird got?

SPEAKER_04

But let me ask you what I think.

SPEAKER_06

I did check out a bird. And and they put feathers on me and pushed me off a cliff.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_06

And they said, flap them like a bird. Flap them like a bird, Otis.

SPEAKER_04

So the first plane attempt was actually just a person with wings.

SPEAKER_07

That is smart.

SPEAKER_04

Sure.

SPEAKER_07

It's a little bit of uh what's the what's the um Greek myth that I'm thinking about? Icarus? Icarus.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, well, that would be so. It's hard to tell what triggers you.

SPEAKER_07

Do you have a list?

SPEAKER_05

Yes. Yeah. Icarus is on there.

SPEAKER_07

Icarus is on there. Okay. We'll just yeah, we'll make a note.

SPEAKER_03

We'll be making note mentally because I don't want to read it down. Oh god, okay, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_07

Oh my god, my own. Does this mean anything to you? Ain't nobody here to see you, Otis? Is that anything to you?

SPEAKER_04

It certainly means nothing to me. Now that does not trigger me.

SPEAKER_07

Okay. It's from the it's from the Temptations mini-series documentary thing, and it's uh it's something that um uh oh my godin says to Otis. I've seen the memes. I've seen the memes. It just feels so relevant here. Why? Because I have a feeling that Orv Orville and Wilbur were saying that to you. Well, but ain't nobody here to see you, Otis. Your brother's names are triggers.

SPEAKER_06

They actually did say that to me. They did say that when they received the award for the Presidential Medal of Freedom and I decided to try to storm the stage and say, hey, hey, it was me too, it was me too. They they went, Ain't nobody here to see you, Otis.

SPEAKER_04

Wow. That is um that's really upsetting because I think even if you were not scientifically, mathematically, or or like labor-wise involved with the plane, you're putting in the emotional labor, putting your body on the line to be a test dummy.

SPEAKER_07

Also, were you involved in the invention part of the planes?

SPEAKER_06

I was. I was involved in the invention part of the city. Sorry. Yeah, I was. I was. They didn't use any of my ideas, okay, but I was involved.

SPEAKER_07

Well Can you give us one of your ideas that you thought maybe was a good one?

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, of course. I said, what if if a plane is just something that flies and we want to float above the sky, what if we get on top of each other's shoulders one by one, by one, by one, by one, by one, by one. And then we all kind of run towards the hill. And then as we run towards the hill, the person at the top is going to fly the furthest.

SPEAKER_07

And they said Ain't nobody here to see this. Now that isn't as much of an invention as a just a thing that you could have done.

SPEAKER_04

Or like a challenge.

SPEAKER_07

Or like a circus trick.

SPEAKER_04

It's circus stuff.

SPEAKER_07

How many people did you imagine were uh on top of the person who was on the bottom? How many people were stacked?

SPEAKER_06

Well, where are we trying to go?

SPEAKER_07

Uh let's say you're in North Carolina and you're trying to get to Ohio.

SPEAKER_06

North Carolina, Ohio? Uh it's probably what, like a bunch of kilometers. So I'd say probably 12?

SPEAKER_04

You mean 12 people. So who is this person on the bottom that can carry 11 people?

SPEAKER_06

Well, it started as me and then I tempted it, and then everybody crushed on top of my poor little back, and I it crushed me. Is that how you passed? Yes.

unknown

Oh.

SPEAKER_06

You passed.

SPEAKER_04

Oh my god, from being crushed by 11 people you asked to be on your shoulders.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, because when you said when you were describing the technique, one of the things you said is, and then we all run towards the hill. Really, it's kind of just one guy.

SPEAKER_04

No one else has to run.

SPEAKER_07

Everybody else has to be a little bit more.

SPEAKER_04

It's kind of a sweet situation for person number 12.

SPEAKER_07

That's amazing.

SPEAKER_06

And how do you even get him up there? Good God. Little by little? Little by little. Little by little. Yeah, but ask me if that person 12 made it. Did the person 12 make it? No. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

That's what I thought.

SPEAKER_06

No, they didn't make it.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. I think at best you would just fall over and be 12 times whatever, five and a half feet average height.

SPEAKER_06

Where were you, Willie? Where were you?

SPEAKER_07

Where were you when I was that was back when I was dead. Pre-life.

SPEAKER_04

Pre-life is dead.

SPEAKER_07

Pre-life is dead. Oh.

SPEAKER_04

Now, Otis, I want I don't want to focus on your failures, but I am but you're going to.

SPEAKER_06

Okay. Ask me anything. I'm an open book. Ask me anything.

SPEAKER_04

So you've sustained injuries from this sort of 12-person dozen run. You know, I'll call it. You've sustained injuries from being in a one-winged plane. What injuries are we talking? I know you see your jaws coming off.

SPEAKER_06

Your brains.

SPEAKER_04

And your brain's coming out. I'm just curious.

SPEAKER_06

Is my brain leaking? Can you see it?

SPEAKER_04

Well, it could be that you there's a drip of water coming somewhere from the ceiling, but it maybe could just be your brain. Your brain might be leaking.

SPEAKER_06

That might be juice from my brain. That's that's cranium juice. Okay. I'm sorry. No. I'm sorry, I'm making a mess. No, it's okay. It's okay.

SPEAKER_07

It's scotch guarded. We're good to go. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Don't worry. I'm not invited to many places up here.

SPEAKER_07

You're not? Why?

SPEAKER_06

No, I'm not.

SPEAKER_07

I feel like even third Hemsworth or whatever, when they die, fourth? How many are there?

SPEAKER_04

Liam. Chris.

SPEAKER_07

Other one. Oh, I was thinking fourth Jonas. I think there's three.

SPEAKER_04

Kevin. Nick.

SPEAKER_06

Kevin. Nick.

SPEAKER_04

Joe.

SPEAKER_06

And then bonus Jonas. Codus. Ringo. Ringo.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, that's your bonus.

SPEAKER_06

Yes.

SPEAKER_07

Well, I'm saying even the fourth Jonas brother, and even the third Hemsworth, they're invited places.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Even the third Hemsworth was cast in Westworld, you know?

SPEAKER_04

Are your brothers up here in the afterlife? Or did they go to hell or they're up here. So that could be why he's not being invited. I think your brothers are sandbagging you.

SPEAKER_06

Whoa. Oh, don't I know it? Yes, they are sandbagging me. Why? They are. They are. They're well, one, first of all, they get a lot more attention. Secondly, attention. They get a lot of people.

SPEAKER_00

Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! I'm Otis! Look at me! Look at me! I'm a right brother too! Look at me! Look at me!

unknown

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_07

Do you think they're maybe it's not that they're embarrassed by you, right? That couldn't be that.

SPEAKER_06

No. It couldn't be what they tell me every time they see me.

SPEAKER_07

Oh, they do tell you that they're embarrassed by you?

SPEAKER_06

They say get away from us, you are embarrassing us. Even in the afterlife, you can't even keep your head together.

SPEAKER_03

That's mean.

SPEAKER_07

That's mean. It's clever wordplay, but it's mean well we don't say it's really clever foreplay, but we don't need to focus on that.

SPEAKER_06

It's clever. What'd you say is clever word wordplay or foreplay? Wordplay. It's not foreplay. It is not foreplay.

SPEAKER_04

It is not any foreplay I'm interested in.

SPEAKER_06

Thank you. Thank you, sis. How old were you when you died? Um I was about 37? Oh, okay. 37 years old. Oh, okay. 37 years young. Well, that was old back then. 37, okay. Yeah. It was old back then.

SPEAKER_04

You were 37 years old and you had been a test dummy for your brothers. Were there other aspirations you had?

SPEAKER_06

Great question. Thanks. Yes, I had other aspirations. I uh I really wanted to make a name for myself. Once my brother started taking off and my sister started helping them. Oh, that's a good word, boy.

SPEAKER_03

Taking off.

SPEAKER_06

Taking off.

SPEAKER_03

Is it right or is it taking off? Okay.

SPEAKER_07

Sorry.

SPEAKER_05

But once your brother started taking you off. Look at me. I'm Otis. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Why are you tweaking me?

SPEAKER_07

How are you? Uh, we're good. So good. We're really good. So good. Thank you for asking. We were talking earlier about how we complain sometimes that the guests don't ask us a question. We really, that's very kind of you.

SPEAKER_06

Of course I'm gonna ask. I don't get invited out much. Not to many places. And you know, we did already talk about this.

SPEAKER_04

We did.

SPEAKER_06

We talked about what did we talk about? We talked about how you're not often invited to places.

SPEAKER_04

And we thought maybe it was because of your brothers and like Yes, it is. Yes. Uh-huh. And we thought maybe that um there are other things you wanted to do with your life when you were on Earth.

SPEAKER_06

Yes, there are. There were. I wanted to write a novel. Oh. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Fictional or uh I guess are they all fictional?

SPEAKER_06

Oh, back then everything was fictional. Everything was fictional back then.

SPEAKER_04

I think you weren't like allowed to write nonfiction so that people couldn't no, this is in Russia. You like people couldn't like see how bad things were, so people wrote fiction to like disguise historical atrocities.

SPEAKER_07

Whoa, I didn't know that. What was your did you have a novel that you had written? I did, yes.

SPEAKER_06

And what was it about? Uh it was called um it was called Sitto, the founder of flight. Oh, Sitto is Otis Khan. Well, almost. Oh yeah, it is. Oh, it's no, it is. It is. Can I explain the premise? Uh yes. Yes, sorry. Purely fictional. Okay. Sitto, the young, strapping, hungry man, who's beautiful and more than just a twin, and more than just uh Wilbur and an Orval's brother.

SPEAKER_07

He's more than that's the regular name.

SPEAKER_06

He's more, he's more.

SPEAKER_03

Couldn't go fast enough to make it backwards. Siton.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, I'm sorry, did I say those names incorrectly? Yes.

SPEAKER_03

You said Wilbur and the side.

SPEAKER_04

Rubleo and Eliro.

SPEAKER_04

El Elviro Elvira. Elvira.

SPEAKER_07

Rubble and Elvira. Yes. The evil the evil siblings.

SPEAKER_06

The evil siblings, the evil older siblings are trying to stop Sitto from being amazing and incredible.

SPEAKER_07

Now when you said hungry, did you mean your belly? Or it's not yours? His belly or hungry for adventure.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, you mean sitto. For sitto? For sitto. For both sitto and I, it is hunger belly wise.

SPEAKER_07

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_06

And hunger to make a name for themselves. Sure.

SPEAKER_07

A yearning. Uh a passion for it, yeah. A yearning, yes.

SPEAKER_06

Ooh, do you want to go in on this book with me?

SPEAKER_07

Uh I'm actually not interested.

SPEAKER_04

So geared up to be like it was gonna be delicate, and then so blunt.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, I'm not interested. Because first of all, it sounds like you got it. Why would I do? I don't want to take. I mean, it sounds like your kind of whole thing is people taking credit for your stuff. True.

SPEAKER_06

I just need someone to just sit down at a typewriter and type what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_03

So he needs you.

SPEAKER_06

Because Oh, you don't know how to type. Well, when I do, I get into the story, I start smashing the keys because they become so real for me.

SPEAKER_04

All great writers need like a ton of laptops.

SPEAKER_07

Laptop. Because you're smashing them so hard that you're breaking them. You're so excited.

SPEAKER_06

I'm so excited and I hate I hate Orville and I hate. What was it? Elvira and Rob Or? Rob Blue.

SPEAKER_05

Rob Blue. Rab Blue and Elvira.

SPEAKER_06

I hate 'em.

SPEAKER_05

I hate them both.

SPEAKER_04

And you don't hate them. Sitto hates them. Sitto hates them.

SPEAKER_07

Sitto hates them. But you you're passionate about this.

SPEAKER_05

I'm passionate about my characters.

SPEAKER_07

Yes. Well, what does Sitto invent?

SPEAKER_06

Ooh. Ooh, perfect. This is actually really good. Sitto decides to invent the true way to fly. Sitto and twelve of his buddies form a little pact. They go near the tallest hill they can find. They get onto each other's shoulders.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

One by one by one by one. And then Sitto starts running towards the hill. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Why should I? And it's a hill, not a cliff. And he's not on top of the hill.

SPEAKER_08

You just run towards the hill.

SPEAKER_04

Do we start running up the hill? I think do the formation while you're at the top. So you don't have to go through the process of running up the hill with twelve people on your shoulders.

SPEAKER_06

Interesting. Now someone wants to join the radio process.

SPEAKER_02

I misspoke.

SPEAKER_07

I'm sorry to harp on this. And I know this is a separate idea than your idea. But how is this flight? How is it flight? Yes, even the person on top. How is it flight for No? Not worth it.

SPEAKER_06

It is it is flight because he's in the air. What is flight but someone hanging in the air against the wheel?

SPEAKER_07

I think somebody standing on top of a building is in the air. I would say so.

SPEAKER_06

If you think is flying?

SPEAKER_03

If he jumped.

SPEAKER_06

Hold on. If he jumped, someone on the top of a building, if they jumped.

SPEAKER_03

I don't want to give you more ideas now.

SPEAKER_06

Slow down, slow down. We throw feathers on their arms. No, no, no. This happened to you.

SPEAKER_03

This happened to you.

SPEAKER_06

You didn't care for it. Oh, but it makes more sense for to go from the top of the building, float with the feathers, as opposed to what I did, which was run up the mountain. Which you don't need to jump off the side of the mountain. Which exhausted me. Exhausted me. I think your brothers are just pranking you.

SPEAKER_04

And speaking of, uh uh not a prank is the next segment, which is a word from our sponsors. So we'll be right back. Feeling lonely? Call Gus. Feeling sad? Call Gus. Gus is waiting by the phone, and he's ready to talk to you about his collections. Call now. And we're back. Willie, I'm so pumped for this next guest.

SPEAKER_07

Me too. Uh, you know, is he an actor? Is he a character? He certainly is somebody that has spoken to a lot of people.

SPEAKER_04

Yes. Please welcome Grandpa Joe from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you so much for having me.

SPEAKER_04

We're so excited to have you, Grandpa Joe. You are such an iconic part of that movie.

SPEAKER_07

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_04

Why, thank you. Uh, I I know.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, okay. Interview over. No, I I uh yes, uh I hope you don't mind I'm sitting back. It's my uh this is my preferred, you know, normally do whatever you want.

SPEAKER_07

Yes. For years you were in bed.

SPEAKER_01

Well, that's part of why I'm here is to clear the air because I know that people think that I'm a dead beat. Whoa.

SPEAKER_07

There's an entire Reddit thread just called Grandpa Joe Hate.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I've seen that.

SPEAKER_04

Can you explain that to me? Because this is new to me.

SPEAKER_07

So a lot of people hate Grandpa Joe.

SPEAKER_04

That's right.

SPEAKER_01

Can I get just one hair more information? Well, uh uh many people think that when I when they saw the documentary about my grandson, Charlie, they thought, oh, Grandpa Joe had been in bed for 20 years, and then all of a sudden he hits the opportunity to go to the chocolate factory, and all of a sudden he can get up and and dance around and opportunistic. Yeah, I see.

SPEAKER_07

I mean, the mom, it was a single mom, and she's supporting five adults and a child.

SPEAKER_01

But with cabbage soup. So she was not doing a very good job of supporting. Even though she's supported working and five adults and a child, it's like but her food stuff. Well, it did. If you had to eat wheat cabbage soup every day, you would also want to stay in bed every day. And is this your daughter or your daughter-in-law?

SPEAKER_07

Great question.

SPEAKER_01

Well, there's a little bit of a debate in some vision versions of the documentary. Uh sorry, I'm not British actually. Uh, but And I didn't think you were. And I would never accuse you. Uh thank you. Don't accuse me of being British because some people in my town are British and some people in the town are not British. Uh but I uh what was the question?

SPEAKER_04

It was uh Is that your daughter-in-law or your daughter?

SPEAKER_01

Well, uh I I she was I think my daughter-in-law.

SPEAKER_07

But it's kind of hard to tell because they were all in bed with each other all the time. So you're not sure.

SPEAKER_01

So you don't know who's baby it is.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, they were all friends before.

SPEAKER_04

We don't know this, but the fact series it starts as a swinger situation. Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I don't know. I would call it a swinger situation, but we were all in the same bed, and you know, when limbs are flying everywhere, and and then somebody just uh and so she's our our collective daughter.

SPEAKER_07

It takes a village, you know.

SPEAKER_01

That's right. Right.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so what was your experience like when you got out of bed? Were you like, did it feel I feel like it would be painful after spending so much time in bed?

SPEAKER_01

Well, it was very painful. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Um, but it was also very uh it was very liberating um because uh most people don't know this, but I I had been sneaking out at night uh to the gym. So uh I actually uh did have uh if you notice, you know, some strength.

SPEAKER_04

I wasn't looking at your body. I hope that's okay to say. I didn't look at my body when you got out of there.

SPEAKER_01

You didn't want to look at my body.

SPEAKER_07

Uh lack of interest.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Primarily. You asked me I don't know why you asked me to come on the show then. Well, it's not for your body, to be Sir.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, that was never I I don't think that was ever the case. You you thought you came onto the show because we were interested in your body?

SPEAKER_04

Well I thought perhaps. And I'm gonna be so real, I'm still not looking at it.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, I'm not interested.

SPEAKER_01

So now you A lot of people are interested. Totally. Totally not.

SPEAKER_07

At least three people.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Interested. Yes.

SPEAKER_07

Now you said not many people know that you were sneaking out at night to go into the gym. Did anybody know? Did the other three in bed know?

SPEAKER_01

No, they had no idea.

SPEAKER_07

So did anybody, I guess the people at the gym knew.

SPEAKER_01

Well, people at the gym knew, but they didn't know who I was.

SPEAKER_04

You're just an old older guy there.

SPEAKER_01

At 24-hour fitness, nobody's trying to make eye contact with other people at late at night. You know, we're just all in there trying to work on our bodies. Yeah, we why?

SPEAKER_04

Why are you working on your body at night and then pretending to be bedridden during the day?

SPEAKER_01

Well, because I didn't want to work. I don't know what's the other night. I didn't want to work.

SPEAKER_07

Okay, but you came you early on you said that you wanted to clear some things up about the people who are hitting.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, and I do want to clear some things up because people think that I'm a deadbeat. Okay.

SPEAKER_04

I, to be honest, might also. So I would love to be concerned about it.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, it seems like you haven't said anything to the contrary.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, well, have you ever tried something called um nerd's clusters? Gummy clusters?

SPEAKER_04

They're great. I don't know if I can eat them because of the gelatin, but I know it's good.

SPEAKER_07

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I got you. Because I'll break this on on your on your news show.

SPEAKER_07

A little bit exclusive?

SPEAKER_01

Grandpa Joe is actually the one that invented the nerd's gummy cluster. What? At the factory? At the factory. So everybody wants to say that they hate, oh, Grandpa Joe is a deadbeat, but actually, you all love the product that I made.

SPEAKER_07

You invented that? Did you do that while you were on tour? Did you get a job there after the tour?

SPEAKER_01

Well, no, after the tour, we all moved in to the factory.

SPEAKER_07

That's right, because Charlie got it.

SPEAKER_01

He got it. Uh he got I think it's one-in, right?

SPEAKER_07

Wasn't it kind of a competition?

SPEAKER_04

Look, you win a problem. Yeah. You win the factory. I know, but you have to run a factory now.

SPEAKER_07

That's a problem? To me? Willy wonk is loaded. I see.

SPEAKER_01

It's more of a like figurehead position because the umpa loompa is really they they run the factory. That's actually fair. That makes it better.

SPEAKER_07

I guess the problem is you're a slave owner.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Yes. And that's Charlie's problem, not mine. Um, and so I liked to go around and you know, Grandpa Joe, I liked to tinker around a bit, and I invented the nerd's gummy cluster, and they didn't release it until after I had passed. And so that's kind of bullshit. Nobody knows that it's me. And so I see your Reddit threads and your videos and your whatnot. And I I have to say, you know, I I've done a lot for the Earth community. And I fully agree.

SPEAKER_07

Truly, they are my favorite candy. They are my favorite candy.

SPEAKER_01

And so, what would you like to say to me, Grandpa Joe?

SPEAKER_07

I want to say, Grandpa Joe, thank you. I do not hate you, and I do not think that you are a deadbeat.

SPEAKER_04

Thank you so much. I haven't tried one, so I remain I remain as I am. I'm not a deadbeat. I I I I'm just so curious because like I'm thinking of your daughter slash daughter-in-law, and I'm thinking of her probably in-law, right, working all day, then coming home, making you guys all food, all the while you were able to also work and possibly make millions for the household. But it was only when her son won something that you were interested in helping.

SPEAKER_07

I will say to your credit, Grandpa Joe did have a hand in the winning. Right. Who knows if any of the things did he buy the chocolate bar? No, but no, but he was there to Charlie Long.

SPEAKER_01

Emotionally supporting my grandson because I want I listen, I know it looks bad that I that that Mrs. Bucket, that's just what we call her. We don't call her daughter or daughter-in-law. And that's also a bummer. Yes, we just all call her.

SPEAKER_08

Are you Joe Bucket? Uh daughter in laws.

SPEAKER_01

Well, we're all Joe Bucket and Josephine Bucket and George Bucket and Georgina Bucket. You're all buckets. We're all buckets.

SPEAKER_07

See, this is actually scary.

SPEAKER_01

Um, Mrs. Mrs. Bucket. Uh and so Mrs. Yes, so Mrs. Bucket, and and uh I I was I did it, there was no reason for me to get out of bed and work, you know. If if we live in this like kind of dilapidated town and there's nothing to do except we go to 24-hour fitness, then why do I work?

SPEAKER_04

I wonder if checking just to me, I if I'm Mrs. Bucket, I would love for a check-in to be like, do you need me to help around the house? Rather than kind of assuming there's probably she doesn't want me to help around the house.

SPEAKER_01

She likes doing it, she likes to do all is that way she can complain about it. That's right.

SPEAKER_07

I guess women be complaining.

SPEAKER_01

Women be complaining.

SPEAKER_07

Now, Bucket as a surname. Now, a lot of surnames originate from like a profession. A profession. Is does bucket somehow originate some from a profession of some sort? That's a good question.

SPEAKER_01

That's a that is a good question. Um, well, after uh year four or five of being in the bed, none of us could remember anymore.

SPEAKER_02

Oh.

SPEAKER_01

Um and so pre-bed. Yes. So then we just saw a bucket and we were like, oh, well, maybe we all came out of that. Came out of.

SPEAKER_07

So that's what you guys all pay.

SPEAKER_04

Not not even came into.

SPEAKER_07

Came out of So you guys think, yeah, maybe you came out of buckets, you guys started calling yourself Joe Bucket and George Bucket and the and the like. Gotcha. Okay. That's interesting.

SPEAKER_01

That is interesting.

SPEAKER_07

What where was Daughter Bucket at this point?

SPEAKER_01

What do you mean? She's uh she was doing the laundry at her job.

SPEAKER_07

Oh.

SPEAKER_01

She's a laund so she's a laundromat person.

SPEAKER_07

So perhaps you guys were laundry people previously, and that's where the bucket is.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, bucket. Oh, you know what? That's probably what it was.

SPEAKER_07

Oh, okay. So you don't remember anything pre-bed.

SPEAKER_01

Well, it just all of the days really blend together, um, because it's like all day you just sit in bed and you you look at it at your wife and your bed wife and your bed husband, and then Oh, you do call him a bed husband. Well, George and Georgina, the other buckets, whatever have you, and then you go to the 24-hour fitness after everybody went to sleep and you, you know, do a little back, do a little abs, and then you get back into the bed.

SPEAKER_07

Hold it back. Gotta get those back.

SPEAKER_01

Well, not always the back, sometimes leg.

SPEAKER_07

And when you're laying in bed, you gotta work out your back. We gotta make sure it's oh yeah. Well, yeah, it's really important.

SPEAKER_01

The other ones, they can't get out of bed at all. When the opportunity came, nobody this is but also write this down, kids, for your Reddit thread. Um, everybody got really upset that I got out of bed right away. But everybody else could have got out of bed right away, too. But they're not working out.

SPEAKER_07

Was Charlie like Grandpa Joe? I'm picking you, or was he kind of like whoever's out comes out of bed first?

SPEAKER_01

Uh well, he was like Grandpa Joe, your proximity closest to the door, so I was the one that was mostly interacting. Kind of uh picked by default.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, it kind of seems like he maybe should, no offense, should have picked his mom who was doing all the work and everything. Well, she's too busy in the back room, like that's fair fixing the toilet or whatever. Your bed family might have died. What was it like meeting Willy Wonka? He seems like a fascinating character.

SPEAKER_01

He was a horrible man.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, that's true. He's a slave owner.

SPEAKER_01

He for sure is a horrible plantation.

SPEAKER_07

And it was very kids, getting them hurt and shrunk and stuff.

SPEAKER_01

Exactly. I mean, the whole thing was an elaborate trap for the children. Um they all died, by the way. He said they all got out. They all died. The kids died? Like we're talking Mike TV TV and uh well, yes, augustic gloops.

SPEAKER_07

Blueberry blueberry Jones.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, blueberry Jones, she died too. It was very tragic. Um and uh we didn't find out until after Charlie and I moved in to the chocolate factory that they had died.

SPEAKER_07

Um did you find their corpses?

SPEAKER_01

We did. It was very harrowing.

SPEAKER_07

That's awful. But you know, that's just Is there a morgue in the factory?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, of course there's a morgue in the factory because if nobody goes in and nobody comes out, then I gotta ask.

SPEAKER_04

You know, you're saying nerds' gummy clusters were made in a place where there's a morgue. I'm not trying, I don't want to say there's stuff in like, is there any cross-contamination there?

SPEAKER_01

I knew that this would come up because this was a recent scandal in the Wonkaverse. Um, I was already dead because if they had not uh if this had happened when I was alive, I would have advertised it that there was arsenic in them to begin with. Um but people got really upset recently when they learned that there's arsenic in the nerd's gummy clusters.

SPEAKER_04

But were you upset?

SPEAKER_01

Or are you learning it now? No, I sold them. I don't know.

SPEAKER_07

I couldn't get and they could be made out of people's toes, and I would eat the shit out of them.

SPEAKER_01

Well, that's something that you don't, you know, don't read the ingredients too carefully. At least you're honest. At least you're writing toes. They're on the ingredients, but don't read them. It's off the ingredients list because I that's a win for Grandpa Joe for me. I believed, I believed in the honesty, unlike Wonka, who is all about the trickery and the tests and the whatnot.

SPEAKER_04

And I do think that Willy Wonka is rude. I think there is something nasty and diet cultural about the Wonka factory. We're like, oh, you have a literal chocolate fountain and one kid wants to eat it, and you're like, you're a glutton. I'm like, you're a bitch. You created a whole candy factory just for people to be like pure about not wanting to eat it. Also, it's good.

SPEAKER_07

You can eat all the other stuff.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, right. And he told us we could all eat it. I think he's a bitch. I think he's a bitch. Willy Wonka is a straight up bitch.

SPEAKER_07

I don't disagree. I don't disagree. I certainly don't. He seems like an asshole.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

And like we said, he's a slave owner. Yeah. That kind of is enough. Honestly, if you're a slave owner, you're a fucking bitch.

SPEAKER_04

R slash Willy Wonka, every post is fucking bitch.

SPEAKER_07

Do you mind if I ask how you passed?

SPEAKER_01

Well, in in in no, I don't. No, I don't. But thank you for asking because you know, everybody's always so concerned with how they think that I'm a deadbeat that they don't care about my feelings until they learn that I invented the nerd's gummy cluster. Um, but I actually did die from my experiments with the nerd's gummy cluster because I, you know, the arsenic, it's not a mistake. Uh it was for a little fun uh in the cluster. Um and I accidentally I put too much and then Well, yeah, you're not a chemist.

SPEAKER_04

Well, I mean, I would say there should be zero in there. But we're unsure of what you were before.

SPEAKER_01

Well, but you're not a famous candy.

SPEAKER_04

No, but I feel like I'm a little famous in like the comedy circles.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, but you don't know anything about our snake and gummy clusters and the marrying of the two. No, I know. Or marriage in general, frankly.

SPEAKER_04

We will be right back after this message.

SPEAKER_08

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, a brand new shape is to be revealed. Does it have more sides than a hexagon? I don't know. Are its angles acute or obtuse? I'm not sure. Can you look directly at it safely? Find out this Sunday.

SPEAKER_04

And we're back. Well, this is always my favorite part of the show.

SPEAKER_07

Absolutely. We love introducing these characters to you, but we also like introducing them to one another. So please welcome back to the show, Otis Wright and Grandpa Joe Bucket.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_07

You consider that your golden ticket.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, and who's saying it's both of yours? Is it Charlie? Or is it kind of you?

SPEAKER_01

You well, it's it's both of us in the way that Charlie wants me to have what he has as well. And he said that. Uh in his in his own way, yes. Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Okay, okay, okay. Well, I'm familiar with being overlooked. Not overlooked, physically, because I like to stand on top of a bunch of people. I don't know if I've heard this, but uh that's how I created the flight. Stand on a bunch of people and they look and then they float like a zipline type system.

SPEAKER_07

I think we just kind of let them.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_07

I think we kind of just let them have their wins.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

This is that's very fas that is very fascinating.

SPEAKER_06

No, you're very fascinating.

SPEAKER_01

Well, thank you very much.

Good.

SPEAKER_07

You're good.

SPEAKER_04

I think you both are seeking appreciation.

SPEAKER_07

That's right. And it seems like you guys are giving that to one another.

SPEAKER_04

And that's awesome.

SPEAKER_07

And that's so great because I think you may no you just may have a hard time finding that outside of this show.

SPEAKER_01

Well, we know that. Yes.

SPEAKER_06

It's really hard. Can I try something with you?

SPEAKER_01

Oh yes, of course we could try it.

SPEAKER_06

Can I close my eyes and pretend that you are one of my older brothers?

SPEAKER_01

Alright.

SPEAKER_06

And maybe if you can go ahead and give me some of that appreciation that I deserve. Maybe then I will be whole.

SPEAKER_01

Do you mind trying that, Grandpa?

SPEAKER_06

I will be whole. And maybe I will be whole.

SPEAKER_01

Otis.

SPEAKER_06

Maybe I will I will seem whole. Maybe I will see hole.

SPEAKER_01

Sea hole?

SPEAKER_06

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01

Is that a new hole?

SPEAKER_06

I hope.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know about the sea hole.

SPEAKER_06

The sea you've never heard of the sea hole? What's the sea?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that's after my time. I think it's a cloaca, right? Oh, yes. That makes sense. Yes.

SPEAKER_06

SPEAKER_01

Well, not at all. Show hole.

SPEAKER_06

Okay. Okay, good.

SPEAKER_04

You you want to do it. You want to do it. Yeah, we'll we'll let you do that. You want Grandpa Joe to give you some appreciation?

SPEAKER_07

Imagine you're covered in feathers.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Imagine me covered in feathers. And I'd just taken off. I didn't land successfully this time. But maybe one day I'll try and you can give me some some hope.

SPEAKER_01

Ah, yes. Uh well, this is why you deserve it, young Otis. Because you wanted the most. You wanted the most. You'll find the golden ticket, Otis, because you want it the most. Open your seahole and find the golden ticket within your seahole, Otis.

SPEAKER_07

Do you think we should do a segment?

SPEAKER_04

I think we should do a segment. That was awesome, though. I think that was a good one. Thank you, Grandpa. It totally works.

SPEAKER_07

So cool.

SPEAKER_04

Equally enjoyed by all.

SPEAKER_07

I got a couple segments to maybe get the show nice and fun and organized.

SPEAKER_06

Do you want us out of here?

SPEAKER_07

No. If you could just pick one of these and don't read it, I'll read it out aloud.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, you'll read it.

SPEAKER_07

Uh, but just pick one. Um this is two questions two questions. Okay. I think it's supposed to say 20 questions, but let's just do two questions.

SPEAKER_04

To guess something.

SPEAKER_07

To guess something. I'll think of anything. It could be anything in the entire world.

SPEAKER_04

And between the three of us, we get two questions.

SPEAKER_07

Let's only get two questions to figure it out. Oh, this is good.

SPEAKER_04

Okay, and it's like a person place, plant, mineral, whatever. It could be anything.

SPEAKER_07

Got it. Okay. It could be absolutely anything in the entire world. Okay. Or not on this world.

unknown

Fuck.

SPEAKER_07

Okay. All right.

SPEAKER_04

All right. Let me know.

SPEAKER_07

And I have got it.

SPEAKER_04

Um I think guests first. Like, what do you what do you think?

SPEAKER_01

Nerd's gummy cluster.

SPEAKER_04

You think you want to just straight up ask if it is a thing rather than kind of try to get around it and like narrow it down.

SPEAKER_06

And depending on that answer, I've got the second question.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. Um, we're gonna go with this one.

SPEAKER_07

I'm a five. Okay, I think so. Yes.

SPEAKER_04

Is it a nerd's gummy cluster?

SPEAKER_07

It is not a nerd's gummy cluster.

SPEAKER_04

Well, why is it? So we've narrowed it down just a hair.

SPEAKER_07

Yes or no questions only, so I can't say answer wise.

SPEAKER_04

Just we've narrowed it down a hair. It's not a nerd's gummy cluster. We get one more time.

SPEAKER_06

So we know that it's not a nerd's gummy cluster.

SPEAKER_01

Anything else? Ask the question.

SPEAKER_05

Is it my evil brothers? Is it them keeping the credit away from me? The one who deserved it the most? Is it them the the bane of my existence?

SPEAKER_04

And before we lock that in, I want to also make sure we don't want to ask something a little more open-ended. Do we like this question?

SPEAKER_01

If the boy wants to ask the question, let the boy ask the question. Thank you, Grandpa.

SPEAKER_07

Thank you.

SPEAKER_01

So that's the question.

SPEAKER_07

Uh no. And I will give you a chance to now guess.

SPEAKER_01

Nerd's gummy cluster. That's truly could be any.

SPEAKER_07

No, you can each get a guess for this one, and you think it might be. Is it Orval and Whittle butter? No, you already guessed that. Okay. Still no. Rika.

SPEAKER_01

Lemonade?

SPEAKER_07

No, Santa's beard. It was Santa's beard.

SPEAKER_01

Santa's beard. Santa's beard. I don't like him. You don't like Santa? He gets a lot of credit. We've had people say that before. Yes, you're not the first person. Overrated. And also a slave owner.

SPEAKER_07

A slave owner. That's true. Now that I don't know if that's it 100% true? That's you think they're slaves.

SPEAKER_04

Do they get paid?

SPEAKER_07

It's like candy and cookies. That's their money, right? That is bad.

SPEAKER_01

No. And do they want to be there? They need to buy it.

SPEAKER_07

I think they love being there. Arthur playing and singing and having a lot of people.

SPEAKER_01

I was asking the steps. The elves, you know.

SPEAKER_07

Arthur Loop is playing and singing. Now that I'm that I say it out loud, slaves are singing.

SPEAKER_04

It's like a justice.

SPEAKER_06

Yep, it's a 1% point of view. No, they're singing. They seem to be five. And I'm sorry to bring up Santa at all. No.

SPEAKER_04

Thank you.

SPEAKER_06

And I am sorry.

SPEAKER_04

Thank you. Well, that segment was a bus. Really? Yeah, we didn't guess it. So that means it's a bus.

SPEAKER_07

What?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. And we didn't like the answer either.

SPEAKER_07

How about this is part of it too. How many questions do you think you would have needed to get to Santa's beard?

SPEAKER_00

Four. Four?

SPEAKER_07

I would have nailed it. What would the four have been? And we the without their influence even. We won't help. Get to Santa's beard in four questions. I want to hear.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. I'm going to give you two versions.

SPEAKER_07

Sounds like eight questions.

SPEAKER_04

I'm going to give you two versions. Here's the funny version.

SPEAKER_07

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Is it related to Santa? Yes. Is it his facial hair? Yes. Is it Santa's beard?

SPEAKER_07

Yes. Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. Unrealistic. Let's be honest.

SPEAKER_07

Really good. That was really good. Absolutely impossible. Okay.

SPEAKER_04

That's one version of what I depending on the day I were past something like that.

SPEAKER_07

Okay. If you were on a hot streak.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

SPEAKER_04

Okay. Then another version. Uh is it a living thing?

SPEAKER_07

SPEAKER_04

Is it related to Santa?

SPEAKER_07

Yes.

SPEAKER_04

Is it his facial hair? Yes. Is it such his fear?

SPEAKER_07

That makes more sense. That feels good. That was good. That was very good. That feels fair.

SPEAKER_06

That's very good. I understand. Okay, four is fair. Okay. If we want to continue this game, I'm thinking of two ingrates. And if you can have a choice, and guess who I'm thinking about? Two people who are sick. Two people who deserve worse than what they've ever gotten in their lives.

SPEAKER_01

Is it Willy Wonka? Will.

SPEAKER_07

Will is part of it. Yes, sir and only.

SPEAKER_04

Is it Wilbur and Orville? Okay. Okay, okay. I didn't mean to do that. I didn't mean to do that. This is just brothers.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, maybe the game would have worked better if we yeah. So for example, you can think of Grandpa Joe, we can play two questions. But you can think of anything in the entire world or outside of the world at all. You can think of anything you want.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, I'm thinking of it.

SPEAKER_07

Okay. Okay. Um I mean is it a candied treat?

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_04

Oh.

SPEAKER_07

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_04

Is it related to Santa? No.

SPEAKER_07

Oh now we're fucked. Okay. Now you have to guess. Now we have to guess. Okay. My guess is an orgy with four people.

SPEAKER_01

That's a good guess, but no.

SPEAKER_04

It's very close though. My guess is my uh work-obsessed daughter-in-law's shitty ass cabbage soup.

SPEAKER_01

We just call him a sus bucket. Um, I thought it was and uh uh very close, but no.

SPEAKER_06

Interesting.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_01

Well go ahead and guess it.

SPEAKER_06

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_06

How are they all close? Who could it be?

SPEAKER_01

There's a fiddle leaf fig. Oh, the plant? It's a tree, ficus.

SPEAKER_07

A fiddle leaf fig?

SPEAKER_04

Fiddle leaf. Fiddle de fig? A fiddle leaf fig. Fiddle leaf.

SPEAKER_04

Fiddle de fig. You said I could think of anything on earth. Yeah, no, no, no. No, no, that's really fair.

SPEAKER_06

That was awesome.

SPEAKER_04

You did it. But everybody was very close. Maybe we were typecasting you with our guesses. I think you were kind of just thinking about your own thing. Well, I think.

SPEAKER_07

I would say none of us were really that even that close. Actually, you were close. Because you said cabbage. Cabbage is kind of like a plant. Cabbage is close.

SPEAKER_01

Cabbage is like a plant, and fiddly fig is like an orgy.

SPEAKER_07

In the sense in the type of pleasure you get from it. A fiddly fig themed orgy.

SPEAKER_06

A fiddly fig. A fiddly tighgy tube. Tiggly two paco to do a quarter of two past two. I like it.

SPEAKER_04

It worked out. It worked out. Okay, it worked out. It worked out. Well, guys, we want to leave you with like a lasting relationship here in the afterlife. We're always trying to bring community together. So is there something that you feel like you're both people seeking acceptance? Is there both is there something you both have felt like you've gotten from today? From each other? From us, maybe.

SPEAKER_06

Well, I'm not invited to many places.

SPEAKER_01

So Well, why not? Well, I'm actually not really either.

SPEAKER_06

You are not?

SPEAKER_01

No. And they said that I actually was shouldn't have been invited to the chocolate factory with my grandson.

SPEAKER_04

Well it was just it was a little by default. He was just kind of closest to the door, and he's the one that got up because he's been lifting at night.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

So what you're saying.

SPEAKER_07

What you're saying though is the thing you got most out of the show was even before the show even started. Simply the invite to the show was something that you got as a feeling of acceptance.

SPEAKER_06

Yes, that and a third space. And then somewhere else. That is nice.

SPEAKER_04

And you guys consider this a third space that you're going to keep returning to? Absolutely.

SPEAKER_06

Yes, of course. I would love to keep going.

SPEAKER_01

I didn't know it was an option to put other people on my shoulders.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, it's always an option. You can always put someone on your shoulders.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_06

That's very partner. I'd love to go into business with you.

SPEAKER_04

Well kind of I just people often go into business together before deciding what it is.

SPEAKER_07

They'll figure it out. Not our problem.

SPEAKER_04

I totally have faith. We have the efficiency I don't need to know anything about after.
