[SPEAKER_09]: Welcome to Gutter.
[SPEAKER_09]: The only podcast that promises to kill you, one hundred percent guaranteed.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's Gutter.
[SPEAKER_09]: Fuck you.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Here we are!
[SPEAKER_09]: Ten years after earthquakes and tsunamis wrecked the American West Coast, we arrived in Washington State, where we meet the desert, eagle-coating punk violet, freakin' former Midwest schmuck now aspirational profit scratch, and the free wheel and madman squash coach extraordinaire honor!
[SPEAKER_09]: These are our heroes.
[SPEAKER_09]: These are our protagonists.
[SPEAKER_09]: These are our guys.
[SPEAKER_09]: and these guys are in deep shit.
[SPEAKER_09]: Powerful people want them dead.
[SPEAKER_09]: These three's only hope is getting the hell out of dodge.
[SPEAKER_09]: To beat the heat, the gang has gone underground, literally, into an abandoned underground mall where, after driving into a very fucking scary tunnel, they find this mall might not be so abandoned after all.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a gutter production.
[SPEAKER_09]: See, we got our character sheet, we got our guy.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yeah, for the ending, I don't have a clean, you know, like this, this or this, so Brennan, whether your character flees or dies, or we'll just figure that out organically.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, scared.
[SPEAKER_08]: Dice, you're like, please, no.
[SPEAKER_08]: Four gets recruited to the party as a full time party member.
[SPEAKER_09]: Love it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hell yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let's do it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Sweet.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right.
[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: So now we're going to start.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm gonna catch us through up in the other room, but I got it on Mike.
[SPEAKER_09]: So we're counting.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's an old man.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's a good old man for our show on it.
[SPEAKER_11]: A good old man.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, sorry, Ganon.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: And here we are.
[SPEAKER_09]: We are fading in from darkness.
[SPEAKER_09]: And rumbling through this very darkness we see.
[SPEAKER_09]: Booker, a green hatchback, slightly too large of wheels.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it is bumping down a dark tunnel.
[SPEAKER_09]: And inside this car, we're seeing three figures.
[SPEAKER_09]: From driver to shotgun to passenger, can I get a brief description of each guy?
[SPEAKER_03]: The driver of Booger is a striking punk with dye green hair up in space buns.
[SPEAKER_03]: They've got an oversized novelty tuxedo t-shirt on shorts, boots, flower tattoos all up her legs, like they're growing out of the boots.
[SPEAKER_03]: She's got a desert eagle strapped to her thigh, you know, piercings, chip nail polish.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is Violet.
[SPEAKER_09]: on to shotgun.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hopping right one over who we see him.
[SPEAKER_06]: In the passenger seat, practically pressed up against the glass is the softly aged face of a mid-late thirties internet addict with a shaggy blonde wolf cut of a much younger internet addict.
[SPEAKER_06]: He rubs his eyes with the sleeves of his denim jacket and blinks.
[SPEAKER_06]: This kind of shit like everything in the past week is completely new to him.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is scratch.
[SPEAKER_08]: And finally, sitting in the back is the youngest older man you ever did see.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's otter!
[SPEAKER_08]: He is ahead of Boyish Red hair and wears an Albany Riverrette hockey jersey that says Crunchwrap to cream where the name would be.
[SPEAKER_08]: His crystal blue eyes scan the strange surroundings in Ultra HD, four K. But behind his calm, dad-like expression lies a mountain of worries and fears that are held in place as if by a sexy corset giving him an hourglass figure, emotionally and metaphorically speaking.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, so we're rumbling, we're in this car, we're rumbling forward.
[SPEAKER_09]: And the first thing that is hitting you all now after driving through the darks for so long is this bright, explosive light.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's paper lanterns, neon, brilliant orbs of so many colors.
[SPEAKER_09]: It strikes you like an electric shot.
[SPEAKER_09]: After so much time, hang in in the muted postal pallet of black fork.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's like you're seeing in techno color for the first time.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then they're sound.
[SPEAKER_09]: deep fried music.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's pulsing and it's a backdrop to this exuberance in chatter.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's laughing, yelling, unmistakable product talking, but not from human throats.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're smelling blood, sweat, and cinnabon.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's whafting over you as Bugger rumbles forward into a bustling underground mall.
[SPEAKER_09]: populated by what it first appears to be people but as you look on a little longer no no no this small is populated by denizens of the weird you're seeing many short lumpy humanoids with bulging eyes are either wearing modern dress and among them even more bizarre guys there's gobs of green slime floating blue gas spectres hunched figures and dark cloaks the cloaks themselves barely obscuring their skeletal faces
[SPEAKER_09]: and so many more strange sights.
[SPEAKER_09]: It is an assault on the senses.
[SPEAKER_09]: In fact, I'm going to start off Vail roll for the for you three kitty cats in that car real quick.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Have we seen these type of dehumanoids ever?
[SPEAKER_09]: Completely new.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's completely new.
[SPEAKER_09]: Not even in that book.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, maybe in a book.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, I don't seem to look green slime monster in a book or a JRPG.
[SPEAKER_08]: I saw this in metaphor, written, Rhinzano, or Reefentagio.
[SPEAKER_08]: Reefentagio.
[SPEAKER_03]: Alright, I failed, but I'm gonna spend four left to succeed.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I succeed.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, we got a pass.
[SPEAKER_09]: Also, Otter passed.
[SPEAKER_09]: Pass.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's compartmentalizing all of this strange stuff.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I failed close enough to use luck, but let's just fail.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, roll up.
[SPEAKER_09]: Give me an online roll.
[SPEAKER_09]: Roll a one D fifteen.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: Eleven.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, eleven.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is hitting you really hard.
[SPEAKER_09]: You start hyperventilating.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're gonna lose eleven.
[SPEAKER_09]: But you are like, and this is hitting you like an adrenaline shot to the heart.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're just really blasting in all this right now.
[SPEAKER_06]: I said my face was up against the glass, so as I'm.
[SPEAKER_06]: It is fogging and unfogging and fogging and he eventually has to lay his back to the seat and just kind of breathe.
[SPEAKER_06]: Can I order this?
[SPEAKER_08]: Give me a hold.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm holding your buddy.
[SPEAKER_08]: I got you.
[SPEAKER_06]: And as he's sitting gathering himself there, maybe scratch remembers the warning during the game when she suggested this path.
[SPEAKER_09]: I warn you.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's very strange in there.
[SPEAKER_09]: So prepare your minds and hearts because what you will see may change you.
[SPEAKER_09]: You've got grit.
[SPEAKER_09]: What you're going to need a lot more of it.
[SPEAKER_09]: So as you guys are recovering from this onslaught of sensation, the strangest detail of all here, these creatures are carrying out like normal, familiar, mall of behaviors.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's a shopper just carrying shopping bags.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's a janitor pushing a push mop.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can see hyperactive mall punks with huge jeans.
[SPEAKER_09]: And they're playing hacky sack.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's an explosion of the uncanny.
[SPEAKER_09]: The stores too are vacillating between recognizable and perverse.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's a very much sharper image beside a blood rain forest cafe, which sits beside a cheesecake fuck jury, which is besides just so many bizarre storefronts.
[SPEAKER_08]: Cheesecake Factory.
[SPEAKER_08]: What the heck?
[SPEAKER_08]: This was all under our nose the whole time.
[SPEAKER_03]: Guys, this place is amazing.
[SPEAKER_03]: We got to pull over.
[SPEAKER_03]: We got to get out.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is so cool.
[SPEAKER_06]: Look, I know I'm hyperventilating and I just failed a sanity roll, but does the cheesecake fuck-dury have the crispy fried cauliflower because that is so good.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I don't care if it's crispy fried cauliflower or cauliflower?
[SPEAKER_03]: I want to try it, bud.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't want the crispy fried cauliflower.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know man, this is weird.
[SPEAKER_08]: Is there parking?
[SPEAKER_08]: Is there parking anywhere?
[SPEAKER_09]: No, I mean, you're driving a car in a mall.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's very weird.
[SPEAKER_09]: But you do see up ahead.
[SPEAKER_09]: There is a hunched figure.
[SPEAKER_09]: The greenish looking figure.
[SPEAKER_09]: And the figure seems to be waving you down.
[SPEAKER_09]: Ow!
[UNKNOWN]: Ow!
[SPEAKER_00]: Ow!
[SPEAKER_11]: Ow!
[SPEAKER_11]: Ow
[SPEAKER_11]: a massive woman who is all elbows in the knees.
[SPEAKER_11]: Her form, her form is like, her limbs are so long.
[SPEAKER_11]: Her hands are each about as big and broad as her torso, because she's so limmy and almost like prim Evil.
[SPEAKER_11]: She has long hair.
[SPEAKER_11]: that looks like she should be hiding in an English bag, to like, each children.
[SPEAKER_11]: But the hair is all lank and going over her body and shoulders and big claws on her hands.
[SPEAKER_11]: She is dressed however, exactly like kid-vid from the Burger King's his clubs for the Chinese.
[SPEAKER_11]: So she's got the sunglasses.
[SPEAKER_11]: She's got the backwards baseball hat.
[SPEAKER_11]: She has a skateboard that hurt long hair keeps getting her hair has passed her feet.
[SPEAKER_11]: So the wheels of her skateboarder all chewed up with her hair.
[SPEAKER_11]: So she's holding it under one arm.
[SPEAKER_11]: are all mollers.
[SPEAKER_11]: So it's all mollers all the way through.
[SPEAKER_11]: But you see, she got these, whatever's going on with her eyes, thank God they're hidden behind the sunglasses because there's a slight glow there.
[SPEAKER_11]: She runs up her length, green skin.
[SPEAKER_11]: All of her shirt is bright orange.
[SPEAKER_11]: Shorts are orange, orange, knee pads, orange, elbow pads.
[SPEAKER_11]: You can tell that one of her arms has an extra elbow because of the bright orange extra pad.
[SPEAKER_11]: And she starts to hobble and run.
[SPEAKER_11]: The way her long limbs are, is she's almost, even though she's skeletonly thin, she's almost always conjuring the shape of a ball because of her arms and legs being so bandied.
[SPEAKER_11]: And she runs up and goes, ah, where's she?
[SPEAKER_03]: Violet rolls up the window.
[SPEAKER_03]: And just cracks it slightly down.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hello.
[SPEAKER_11]: I am Orange Julia.
[SPEAKER_11]: Welcome.
[SPEAKER_11]: Welcome to the mall.
[SPEAKER_11]: Are you looking for a vibrant third space to connect with your friends?
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, I, I don't know, I guess.
[SPEAKER_03]: That sounds interesting.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, you're the first person who's greeted us down here at the mall.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, we're new.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, uh, hello.
[SPEAKER_08]: Are you children or no?
[SPEAKER_08]: Um, some of us are kids at heart, I guess.
[SPEAKER_08]: Uh,
[SPEAKER_08]: You are one fine specimen, otters just taking inventory of the endless sports potential of someone with this mini elbows and that kind of wingspan and mullers for teeth.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_08]: What up?
[SPEAKER_08]: You ball?
[SPEAKER_08]: What?
[SPEAKER_11]: You ball, you guess?
[SPEAKER_11]: Every night as I dream of the children that have not found a place to grow their friend groups.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_03]: Whoa, sounds like you guys might be a match made in heaven.
[SPEAKER_08]: That is the kind of thing that keeps me up to.
[SPEAKER_08]: Do you mean ballas and weeping?
[SPEAKER_08]: No, no, no.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_08]: I meant ballas in like, you play racket baller, pickle baller, basketballer, baseballer.
[SPEAKER_11]: Do I go hard in the paint?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, I do.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, yeah, but I'm more of a skater really at heart.
[SPEAKER_11]: So that's what I've taken to here.
[SPEAKER_11]: Welcome, friends.
[SPEAKER_11]: I am Orange Julia.
[SPEAKER_03]: What may I call you?
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, hello Julia.
[SPEAKER_03]: I am Vi or Violet.
[SPEAKER_03]: Whatever you prefer.
[SPEAKER_03]: A Julia or Orange Julia.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, well, if we want to be in full, well, you can call me Julia or just jewels or Julie as fine as well and file it a lovely name.
[SPEAKER_11]: Your name is also a color and a botanical.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, it is.
[SPEAKER_11]: Which orange is as well?
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, how was your day?
[SPEAKER_11]: Look at that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Take a shake my hand.
[SPEAKER_11]: And just follow any fingers of sort of squeeze and show that your hand goes numb.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, whoa.
[SPEAKER_11]: a rep.
[SPEAKER_11]: And what about you, my friend who has the mind of a child or whatever it was you said.
[SPEAKER_08]: A spirit of a kid, I guess you could say my name is Otter.
[SPEAKER_08]: Full name is Otheus Mayfield.
[SPEAKER_08]: I actually live upstairs in a black fork not too far from here.
[SPEAKER_08]: becoming your my whole life.
[SPEAKER_08]: I've never seen this place before.
[SPEAKER_08]: So I just I love what you got going on down here and also work with kids.
[SPEAKER_08]: So we got that in common.
[SPEAKER_08]: Wishing my name was either a color or flower, but in the absence of that, I'll just say, how the hell you're doing.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it's a pleasure to meet you, Audrey.
[SPEAKER_11]: Your name also means two different things.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hey, we found my phone connection.
[SPEAKER_08]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, what pleasure to be.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you, my silent friend.
[SPEAKER_11]: What is your name?
[SPEAKER_06]: The stretch Kelly decidedly not a child, but do you eat the children that you talked about?
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you eat the children?
[SPEAKER_06]: You don't eat the children, right?
[SPEAKER_11]: No, no, not anymore.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, any more that's great.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's a no that's something we haven't common.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't need to show me either.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, did you roll out or?
[SPEAKER_11]: No, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_11]: I would I say not anymore.
[SPEAKER_11]: I I'm very misspoke.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean well, well depends because sometimes
[SPEAKER_11]: times as part of a bargain you don't have to kill someone to eat them eating a toenail right eating the eating someone's hair is that eating them right it's a sort of ship of feces situation how much of someone's hair do you have to eat before you eat them
[SPEAKER_03]: Hmm.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now that's a question.
[SPEAKER_03]: I will be wrestling with for a long time.
[SPEAKER_06]: There's a logic puzzle.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think about that like every day if you like.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: How about, let's get you guys coming out of the car to explore, to just sort of step out and take in the sights with Julia here.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, Jay, is it all right if we just kind of get out of the car here?
[SPEAKER_08]: But all means well park anywhere there's an open spot and I want to gesture to an absolutely like carless area Any man any open spot you can park can we say that we parked the car right by one of those signs that's like free win a car We didn't see that that's what the sign says because it's facing the other way Hands on a hard body
[SPEAKER_09]: So you guys are stepping out and there's like, let's say there's like a fountain, there's like a sledge coming out of the fountain, there's like a little fuzzy green guy like sleeping by the fountain, just like all these like weird bumpy guys and clothes, just sort of, and out there they're all kind of giving you a, you guys a look like like, that's weird.
[SPEAKER_09]: We usually don't see guys like you walking or, I don't know, I don't know what they're thinking, and they're giving you weird look.
[SPEAKER_09]: Pass it past and you buy those sorts of stores around you and all that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, so... Oh, Jay, Orange Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia,
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, I'd like to think that it's not that dangerous but then again, I am here to shepherd and steward the lost little ones who find their way down here to the more.
[SPEAKER_11]: You might call me more security.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I will, because I don't know otherwise.
[SPEAKER_11]: One of many things I have in common with the delightful Paul Blart.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, you guys know about Paul Blart.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, and I'm going to I want to reach up and there's clearly a shrine I've made out of like grotesque wax formed into awful candles and then the center is a much faded and like irradiated movie poster for Paul Blart Mallcop.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh Paul Blart.
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, we too love Paul Blart equally as this.
[SPEAKER_11]: Look at the beautiful softness of his face.
[SPEAKER_11]: His skin unraveled by horrors.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh beautiful Paul Blart.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Violet is nodding nodding.
[SPEAKER_06]: What a stash, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, look at that thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: What brings you here?
[SPEAKER_11]: Are you, are you shoppers, consumers?
[SPEAKER_11]: Are you here on some sort of mission or quest?
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, the long and short of it is we had a friend named Bodhi who went missing.
[SPEAKER_03]: We found a black book with a bunch of addresses in it.
[SPEAKER_03]: We think we blew a bugle that's bringing about the end of the world and we're on the run from a big corporation.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's what brings us to the mall.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Orange Julia, it's sort of like a minor, minor, minor, moreia situation here.
[SPEAKER_08]: I almost had a mind of men's here, which would have been a minor.
[SPEAKER_08]: But no, it's like a minor, moreia, like we had to flee.
[SPEAKER_08]: So we ended up going to, at least in our side of things, it's just called the, the comes, the dilapidated former underground shopping center.
[SPEAKER_08]: We went through a hole in the wall.
[SPEAKER_08]: Now we're in,
[SPEAKER_08]: this really bad ass mall area that you got going on looks beautiful down here you love your public mall poster and it does kind of seem like the type of place where we could hide out for a while and hopefully you know there's no signal or tracking or GPS down here supposedly on the other end there's a way out of here too that's what we know
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, far through the tunnels of the mall.
[SPEAKER_11]: Past, kiosk and sharp food caught in theater.
[SPEAKER_11]: There is, as you have said, another set of doors, because to a different parking lot.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know the way?
[SPEAKER_11]: To those doors?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, I'd be more than happy to lead you there, but be warned.
[SPEAKER_11]: You are welcome to shop at any of them.
[SPEAKER_11]: No.
[SPEAKER_11]: In fact, encouraged to.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: I guess when I said be warned, I meant like, there are shops you can go to.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: That sounds really good.
[SPEAKER_03]: That sounds cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: I like it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, it's good here.
[SPEAKER_11]: Please don't let the vibes confuse you.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's quite good at them all.
[SPEAKER_09]: At this point, you hear the sound of chatterproof glass breaking and the car alarm going off.
[UNKNOWN]: Fuck!
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh god.
[SPEAKER_09]: Is that my car?
[SPEAKER_09]: You look back at the car and you see, yep, there's a pretty blue glass sitting on the ground and your lights are going.
[SPEAKER_09]: Someone seems to have just broken into your car.
[SPEAKER_09]: No!
[SPEAKER_09]: There's just a bit of a promotion people looking over.
[SPEAKER_09]: I imagine you guys are moving towards the scene.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, gone at the ready.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, you got your peace on you.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're moving all over the thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: You get over the park and you're looking inside and it's like everything is still in place.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then you see your steering wheel is gone.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's been like yanked out.
[SPEAKER_09]: You look over.
[SPEAKER_09]: And at the top of the nearby escalator, you can see these, these like, no-mo-like little guys were wearing socks like ballaclavas.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're like little guys.
[SPEAKER_09]: And they're like cheering, they've got your steering wheel and they're like throwing it between each other going.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then they scatter away somewhere up on the second floor.
[SPEAKER_06]: Ah, little grandma and guys again.
[SPEAKER_06]: Ah, not more, little grandma and guys.
[SPEAKER_11]: Do you know those guys orange Julia?
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm afraid I do.
[SPEAKER_11]: I hate to do this right when you've got here.
[SPEAKER_11]: Would you help me chase them down if I eat one of them?
[SPEAKER_11]: The others will calm down.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that sounds awesome.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sounds like a good punishment too for stealing my fucking steering wheel.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, we have to attract more shoppers to the mall, and I've explained that to the norms, and in words worked, we could leave it at a conversation.
[SPEAKER_11]: But instead, I'm going to have to find whoever's the ringleader, and bite his head off in front of a bunch of the rest of them.
[SPEAKER_08]: I get it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_08]: We'll definitely be doing some shopping here too.
[SPEAKER_08]: We just want to make that clear.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're going to support some of the small businesses down here.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're going to drop some stacks, all right?
[SPEAKER_10]: We have a pack son and an anti-anse pretzel.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh Yeah, does the cheesecake fuck three have a Korean fried cauliflower or cauliflower or cauliflower or anything do you know is it sexual store?
[SPEAKER_11]: What's that?
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, is the is the cheesecake factory sexual nature?
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, does it doesn't actually just a typo?
[SPEAKER_11]: Hey believe me.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's about as sexual as a regular cheesecake factory and that's a
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry I asked if you eat babies are you like that?
[SPEAKER_06]: We're not the one just fine.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, not any more bait like I would never eat all baby, you know, like right the toenail just some of them here in ethical amount.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, you can live with nine toes, right?
[SPEAKER_11]: Who's with me?
[SPEAKER_11]: Let's get these notes.
[SPEAKER_09]: You guys are you guys are hustling on over the escalator.
[SPEAKER_09]: You see that this is and it's the only escalator around it's only it's only a down
[SPEAKER_06]: Oops, we got to run against it.
[SPEAKER_09]: It sounds like maybe we got to do some rolls.
[SPEAKER_08]: Perhaps, I think.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let's go later rolls.
[SPEAKER_09]: Some freaking agility checks.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: What do I got?
[SPEAKER_09]: And uh, we're in Julius, you're good, you're a native, you're like, like a list walking against the wind.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can, you're cruising.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hell yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's got these long legs.
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like you could be like, one.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think, I think I tucked my legs, sort of like a gibbon and clutch into the glass of the railings.
[SPEAKER_11]: So I'm not touching any moving part of the S-lear.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: I just think, yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Found up.
[SPEAKER_06]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_06]: I rolled a hot hit.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I think scratch tries a little of that too.
[SPEAKER_06]: He got that magic mushroom a little bit ago.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's feeling youthful and healthy in a way.
[SPEAKER_06]: He hasn't in many, many years.
[SPEAKER_06]: So he's trying to do it like ninja warrior style.
[SPEAKER_06]: And every once in a while, he has to put a knee down and he goes down a little bit, but he's really trying it.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's trying it would have been better just to run, but it's working.
[SPEAKER_08]: Otter also got a what's in between a golden hit and a normal hit.
[SPEAKER_08]: Otter got a hot hit too.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I just watch this YouTube video about how like the most important thing in sports is like actually just being able to see stuff well.
[SPEAKER_08]: So Otter is using his
[SPEAKER_08]: Good sports vision to see the perfect angle in path ahead of him before he takes his steps and he is bounding up these down escalators as a young old man and he is getting there keeping pace with the younger scratch.
[SPEAKER_03]: and violet got a regular hit.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, also makes it up the stairs, but... Just very regularly.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Everyone's doing it cool, and you're doing it this.
[SPEAKER_09]: But hey, no one's falling down or getting bogged.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, so now here we are at the top of the escalator.
[SPEAKER_09]: You see, no sign of the sock clad bandits.
[SPEAKER_09]: You are on a bridge between two paths of the second floor.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right before you see a bunch of massage chairs.
[SPEAKER_09]: Sitting in one is a smiley, sleepy, squinty bumpy man in a glorious oversized soft sweater and he's the only customer there.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Can I eat you?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I get it.
[SPEAKER_05]: What?
[SPEAKER_08]: What a little bit of hair.
[SPEAKER_08]: Make you feel like you got what you wanted.
[SPEAKER_08]: Eating wise.
[SPEAKER_08]: I would like some skin or blood, but I'll take some hair.
[SPEAKER_06]: Don't even worry about the hair guys.
[SPEAKER_06]: My toenails are wicked long.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've been neglecting clippin' them.
[SPEAKER_06]: I can just break it off my hands.
[SPEAKER_08]: I know.
[SPEAKER_08]: You told me you were gonna cut those before we left.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I know, but then we have to skip town, man.
[SPEAKER_08]: What do you expect?
[SPEAKER_08]: I had you doing wind sprints with long toenails.
[SPEAKER_03]: I kept hearing that.
[SPEAKER_03]: My socks were bloody as hell.
[SPEAKER_03]: I opened up to you.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was vulnerable.
[SPEAKER_03]: Meanwhile, you had these little tall toenails like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: So our friendship was based on the length of my toenails.
[SPEAKER_06]: I wasn't feeling well now.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's a factor you got to consider.
[SPEAKER_08]: But yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: Give me one of your toenails, scratch.
[SPEAKER_08]: Fine, here.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I did take my shoe and sock off.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I just, I like, kind of hold my foot up.
[SPEAKER_06]: Ooh, I realized it's not almost reconnecting.
[SPEAKER_06]: Ooh, let me just check.
[SPEAKER_03]: You seem normal.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is just a distraction to keep this episode from going in the wiki feet.
[SPEAKER_08]: Andals of history.
[SPEAKER_09]: You do something gross with the toenail.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's got the toenail and he's biting it like a gold prospector.
[SPEAKER_09]: Anyway, so to your right, you see where he indicated, you see there's mercy cookies, it's cookie store, but it's like written in like this
[SPEAKER_09]: ancient sort of like uniform looking font.
[SPEAKER_09]: A lids by turd.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a lids store, but there's a piece of plywood attached to the lids marquee and it spells in crude handwritten red ink by turd.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's the only sign like this.
[SPEAKER_09]: Spencer's grifts a lutee shirt store, but you don't see it clear entrance.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a big glass thing and hot topic.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a regular hot topic.
[SPEAKER_08]: But perhaps caught in by the sights and the sensuous options in front of us.
[SPEAKER_08]: Otter is overcome with a desire to go into lids and get a fresh hat.
[SPEAKER_08]: Definitely lids.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's like a sports memorabilia collector and he has to assume that there's going to be some strange things to collect here in this mall.
[SPEAKER_08]: So, like Odysseus going towards the sirens, he strides calmly into lids by turd.
[SPEAKER_08]: Alright.
[SPEAKER_08]: Boom!
[SPEAKER_09]: you walk and there's like hats all over the place with all sorts of like happy birthday.
[SPEAKER_09]: Sorry for your loss.
[SPEAKER_09]: Merry Christmas.
[SPEAKER_09]: Merry demon Christmas.
[SPEAKER_09]: But happy nephews birthday, happy blood.
[SPEAKER_09]: Sacrifice day.
[SPEAKER_11]: These little freaks are probably gonna put these hats on their feet.
[SPEAKER_11]: Those assholes, socks on their heads, hats on their feet.
[SPEAKER_11]: God, they suck.
[SPEAKER_11]: They suck.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're gonna kill at least one.
[SPEAKER_09]: you guys are in and sitting behind the counter you see this this lumpy reddish humanoid guy and he's got this hat on that says hello pudding and he's nude otherwise and he he's sitting there and he says oh my god what's happening and he special occasions coming up there's a hat for every occasion in this life you must be turd
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm tired.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh my god, it's honest to meet you.
[SPEAKER_06]: You're on the sign.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's mine.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're like, son.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you like this sign?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I made a sign.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love the sign.
[SPEAKER_03]: First of all, I'm going to buy this hat immediately and violet picks up the sorry for your loss hat because that is an undeniable hat that I need immediately and how much is this?
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you get?
[SPEAKER_06]: I have some extra toenail clippings if you need them.
[SPEAKER_08]: Some pens?
[SPEAKER_08]: Two bucks?
[SPEAKER_08]: Outer hands you a gold double spoon from the bug out bag.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's like sixteen gold the balloons in each bug out bag.
[SPEAKER_08]: Here, take this, maybe it'll.
[SPEAKER_09]: Alright, he wraps his paws around it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Orange Julius, wonderful to see you up this side of the mall.
[SPEAKER_11]: Did you little freak?
[SPEAKER_11]: I wanted to thank you, by the way.
[SPEAKER_11]: I broke things off with David and the hat really made a lot of my feelings clear.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's the words that are too hard to say sometimes it's easy to read it, but it's like fucking thick brim.
[SPEAKER_11]: I walked into the coyote grill and he had the hat sort of explained everything and it was really amicable and I really appreciate you setting things up.
[SPEAKER_10]: Have you seen one of those freaky little sock headnomes running here with a steering wheel?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh the sock Steelers I think I did you know I didn't see anything but but I didn't think noticing recently they've been grabbing a lot of circular things like the other day they were
[SPEAKER_09]: They're grabbing whole hoops and... It's just like... I mean, I've been yanking out to circle.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's like getting really sweaty explaining this.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, circular things, you know, are in like little tubes, they seem to be really attracted to these circular things.
[SPEAKER_10]: So they took your wheel!
[SPEAKER_03]: They took the wheel.
[SPEAKER_03]: They broke my they broke into my car and they just they just ripped it right out ran off And by the way, do you how much is the hat that says that?
[SPEAKER_06]: They took the wheel.
[SPEAKER_06]: They broke in the car.
[SPEAKER_06]: They just ripped it right out.
[SPEAKER_08]: I was all in that one too.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's pretty nice hat.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, yeah, that's yeah, what are the odds?
[SPEAKER_08]: It's very apropos half off.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know not a lot of occasions for that one, but I suppose this doesn't actually fit pretty perfectly sure sure.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah, I'm not check what it has
[SPEAKER_03]: So are you insane?
[SPEAKER_03]: So, they've been taking circular things.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you're saying we can lure them out with more circles.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's an idea, suppose?
[SPEAKER_10]: It's a brilliant idea indeed.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey!
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't look like you're from around here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, these guys with you orange!
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: Remember, we are trying to make them all as welcoming as we can, because shops are nothing without shoppers, too.
[SPEAKER_10]: I think without shoppers, that's right.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_10]: So we're not gonna eat them.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, you're not gonna eat us.
[SPEAKER_10]: Don't eat us.
[SPEAKER_10]: Please.
[SPEAKER_10]: Do not eat us.
[SPEAKER_05]: I guess have great self control.
[SPEAKER_10]: I got a bunch of gogrets in the back.
[SPEAKER_10]: That'll be fine.
[SPEAKER_10]: No problem.
[SPEAKER_10]: Great.
[SPEAKER_10]: Circular, did I say that they were circular things?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, it's helpful to know they're circular.
[SPEAKER_08]: I didn't know if they were in the shape of the circle.
[SPEAKER_08]: By the way, I will take that hat that says that they stole our steering wheel from the car.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, they broke our window.
[SPEAKER_08]: They still rip it out.
[SPEAKER_08]: And my name is otter.
[SPEAKER_08]: It says at the bottom.
[SPEAKER_08]: My name is otter from Blackfork.
[SPEAKER_11]: And the work on these hats turned.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's out of control.
[SPEAKER_11]: If you feel good, you're really, you're really out doing yourself.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's not just a print.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's, they're embroidered.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: The text is clear.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, it's wow.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm working like crazy in this space.
[SPEAKER_09]: You would be surprised at how many things can happen, and how many hats you need for things that could possibly happen.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, your imagination is honestly something to behold.
[SPEAKER_03]: So surely you could imagine where exactly those guys went.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you can imagine all these scenarios, where do you need circular things?
[SPEAKER_09]: Where do you need any thinking, thinking, and he's walking over to a hat that says, where do you need circular things thinking he walks over to?
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh yeah, I was gonna, yeah, I was gonna ask, Todd,
[SPEAKER_11]: Is the universe deterministic or is free will exist?
[SPEAKER_11]: Because you've been able to prepare.
[SPEAKER_11]: Do you prepare hats for everything that could happen and just take a loss on presumably the larger number of non-occurring events?
[SPEAKER_11]: Or I guess maybe there's a market for ironic never gonna happen hats.
[SPEAKER_11]: or are you able to perfectly predict only what will happen, and therefore only make hats that will have a market for things that will occur.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's like, he's like, his forehead is bulging.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's running his fingers over his forehead.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's like, the idea is if I make enough of these hats, and I follow the muse, and I build this out someday that that question of deterministic or free ordained universe, perhaps that will become clear today.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, I'm so hungry.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, don't tell me.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think we're stressing to it out.
[SPEAKER_08]: We should... Yeah, don't, don't hurt yourself, Kurt.
[SPEAKER_08]: Sorry, Kurt, but thanks for, thanks for these hats, the go-gurts, and this plan.
[SPEAKER_08]: Why do you talk my go-gurts?
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, sorry.
[SPEAKER_08]: Uh... Guys, we gotta get out of here now.
[SPEAKER_08]: Ah!
[SPEAKER_08]: Alright, you're cool, son of there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Round things.
[SPEAKER_03]: Where do you need round things in the mall?
[SPEAKER_03]: Ah, do you know what's typically round?
[SPEAKER_11]: But cookies are typically round.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know if you need round things.
[SPEAKER_11]: What do you need round things?
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know where you need round things, but cookies are round and maybe they would be in the cookie store because they're round.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, let's see how many cookies they've taken.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Into the cookie store.
[SPEAKER_03]: We got mercy.
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe there's a trail of crumbs we can find.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now that you're looking right, you know what?
[SPEAKER_09]: Spot hit, give me a spot hit.
[SPEAKER_09]: Ooh.
[SPEAKER_09]: Everybody?
[SPEAKER_09]: Ah, you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Cause you said it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, that's not good.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's see.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know what?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, I don't want to do it, but I'm going to burn ten right now.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can also double or nothing.
[SPEAKER_06]: I could double or nothing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, you roll it again.
[SPEAKER_09]: And if you miss it's a worse failure, you find it even worse.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, let's do that.
[SPEAKER_09]: If you make it, then you find it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: And that's, look, I know you didn't see my first number because I'm using the ring, but that was a seventy, which is exactly my spot hidden.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, you, you noticed on the ground, there's, there's a bit, a white powder, dusting about here and there, but it's like, oh, it's not all, it's at all over the place.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, it's around the cookie store for sure.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hmm, signs of these, the phone.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh King, cookies.
[SPEAKER_06]: My tracking skills, yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, I think we have caused a poppin of the cookie store and and ask them.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're bustin' into the cookie store.
[SPEAKER_09]: Gift cookie pies are all over the place.
[SPEAKER_09]: They've got messages on them, but instead of saying congratulations are happy birthday.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's written in like an unreadable ancient text.
[SPEAKER_09]: Like something you might find if you cracked open a necronomicon, but it's like on all these like tasty looking cookies and pies and things like that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, necronominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominominom
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, there's the lady behind the counter.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let's sort of like this tall tall woman with long black hair that sort of obscures.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can see our arms sort of poking out a little bit, but just one greasy black hair coming on down.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_00]: I truly, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Did the love spell like if you work work all right for you were things are going well with you know the love spell it ended up not working out as well as it could have I had to buy a hat to sort of explain things to David.
[SPEAKER_11]: But it's amicable, everything's okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: At the very least, the love spell did allow me to momentarily feel what it would feel like to want connection to someone rather than biting a tender lump out of their leg.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, it is almost lunchtime and that is sort of pretty good.
[SPEAKER_11]: Listen, I can't help but notice my my perceptive friend noted a stream of confectionary sugar coming out of the shop.
[SPEAKER_11]: Have you been having any sock stealer problems here?
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, now that you mentioned it all certainly they have been going out towards all of my, uh, about trying to take some of my nice spells that I have over here.
[SPEAKER_09]: Certainly trying to take many of my nice spell, but they themselves, the aim may shock you.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's not my confectionary sugar.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, they're covered in it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Are they covered in it before?
[SPEAKER_09]: They're covered in it.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're getting their running around there.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're saying, oh, please give me cookie, give me cookie, cookie, cookie, give me circuit.
[SPEAKER_09]: And they're yanking out.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's points over the ground where there's like the ground is like ripped open and there's like tubes from, I don't know, like some plumbing or something.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's like,
[SPEAKER_09]: They're yankin' my damn tubes out.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because they're round.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're yankin' my damn tubes out.
[SPEAKER_09]: They were gettin' powdered sugar all over the place.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I ain't any of my cookie spells.
[SPEAKER_03]: Can we buy a cookie spell?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: And maybe you tell us how to read this spell, and then we can try to cast this spell, and then we can potentially eat the cookie.
[SPEAKER_03]: Get these guys, somehow with one of these spells?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh yeah, get the guys.
[SPEAKER_03]: Does that work?
[SPEAKER_09]: I mostly have love spells.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, I have one that will ruin your foes crops for season.
[SPEAKER_09]: I have one that makes your pubs disappear, but that's all.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, no, I'll take that one, actually.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: That will save me a lot of time every day.
[SPEAKER_06]: So do you have one that makes you love yourself?
[SPEAKER_09]: a self-love cookie.
[SPEAKER_08]: Pretty sure the pew one might do that.
[SPEAKER_08]: At least it would for me.
[SPEAKER_08]: Maybe we can try that.
[SPEAKER_08]: A good idea for the future, maybe.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I guess I'll just have a bite of the pew one and see what happens.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hmm, is there a possibility, in terms of the various spells that you have here within the cookies, my friend?
[SPEAKER_11]: Is there a possibility of one that might help us understand where the confectionery sugar came from, a scrying cookie?
[SPEAKER_11]: Do any of your cookies grant sight of maddening truths?
[SPEAKER_11]: Flee maddening truths like either a pastel or you know what's the one I like the what's the one that's a little straws pirouettes?
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, the pirouettes of a far-side
[SPEAKER_06]: Wait a minute, they would love the pure rats, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: Because they're not little pipes, they're circles.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're tubes, they're round.
[SPEAKER_00]: I do have such a cookie.
[SPEAKER_00]: We need that.
[SPEAKER_00]: She grabs a cookie and it's just...
[SPEAKER_09]: It's got a, just like very grim looking markers not even like cool like black metal like symbols but like but like it's just like like a like symbols of great dark dread sort of like hacked in very tasty looking pirouettes and what do you call it?
[SPEAKER_09]: Frosting.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, rolls it on over to you.
[SPEAKER_03]: one to bloom for you and one pirouette that looks honestly very terrifying for me thank you so much and violet looks at this cookie with a strong look of dread and horror but knows I gotta bite this cookie and they bite it give me a veil roll
[SPEAKER_09]: Fail.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: Rollo a one D ten.
[SPEAKER_08]: Is this going to interact with my let's SSRI's or?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: I got a seven.
[SPEAKER_09]: Sweat starts like pouring down your forehead and from your temples and all out of your you start sweating super super super hard and your vision goes black.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then there's like something sort of pulsating the darkness.
[SPEAKER_09]: like pulsating red, something visceral, viscous, organic, organ-like, and I, a great eye rolls up to you, and it blinks, and it says, I will see you soon.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then, you come to, oh no!
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, so where are the guys?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I don't think I should have eaten that cookie at all.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know where the guys are, but I... I'm scared.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um... Well, gotta go.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, thanks for the cookie.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, is this trail going this way?
[SPEAKER_09]: Hello, I am Gannon.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, that's good.
[SPEAKER_08]: I understand.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, I am Gannon.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hello, I am Michael.
[SPEAKER_08]: I am a Lenny.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I am Casey.
[SPEAKER_09]: And we are Gannon.
[SPEAKER_08]: And this is the inner loop.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is the part that comes in the middle of the episode where we say
[SPEAKER_06]: What's up?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're talking a little bit.
[SPEAKER_09]: We do have, I mean, look, it's a task.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you listen to just in case we do.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then we don't.
[SPEAKER_06]: You're like, I was the total waste of time.

[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, Julia is friends with everybody.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm not a player.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, these guys are new and they're not fun and they're nice.
[SPEAKER_11]: Mall rats is a pejorative that I would never suffer to be applied.
[SPEAKER_11]: to a bright and sunny faced youth who only wished to come to the mall to gain the fellowship of their fellow youths, smoke weed behind the dumpster, huck rocks at the ridge out behind the parking lot and skate through the fountain area as I scream at them not to skate through the fountain area.
[SPEAKER_11]: Alright.
[SPEAKER_11]: I would never call a child a mall rat.
[SPEAKER_11]: These mall rats are rats from the mall, okay?
[SPEAKER_09]: They're rats.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're rodents.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, when is a hamster?

[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, they're bad.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're not talking about guys like you guys where we, you know, we find a guy like you and maybe butcher up or turn it into a nice barbecue wheel.
[SPEAKER_09]: I need it up.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're talking about
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, I mean, you're gonna just ice these guys?
[SPEAKER_08]: We did kill a guy before we came here with like a gatling gun.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't think he's dead.
[SPEAKER_03]: He had a very big smile.
[SPEAKER_08]: Do you guys want to come into the store?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's like, there's no door.

[SPEAKER_10]: It's our fault.
[SPEAKER_10]: We didn't believe.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's true.
[SPEAKER_08]: I didn't really believe.
[SPEAKER_08]: I kind of thought we were getting pranked the whole time.
[SPEAKER_08]: Has anyone believed enough yet?

[SPEAKER_03]: Listen, uh...
[SPEAKER_03]: Try it all.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, so you're gonna go to the food court, I guess.
[SPEAKER_09]: Don't worry about my name.
[SPEAKER_09]: We all know it.
[SPEAKER_09]: We remember what it was, but don't have to say it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Just don't have this food court.
[SPEAKER_09]: Smiley smiling, happy donuts.
[SPEAKER_10]: They'll be careful for the ball rats.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll try to cool it on the instant killing everyone.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, thanks.
[SPEAKER_08]: Trader Dull and Otter.
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_08]: Doffs' hat, which says, thank you, Trader Dull.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're going to the food court now to confront the ball rats on it, which, of course, picked up and lids by a turd.
[SPEAKER_06]: Scratch salutes his long nasty toenails, the ones that do salmon.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey Julia, I really wanted to ask, and I hope it's not, you know, like, crying too much.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I am really curious about the hat that you got to break up with David.
[SPEAKER_03]: You said his name was?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: What?
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you mind like sharing what that was about?
[SPEAKER_03]: Not at all.
[SPEAKER_11]: David is one of the administrators.
[SPEAKER_11]: of the sort of mall.
[SPEAKER_11]: It sort of helps franchise out loose lots within the mall.
[SPEAKER_11]: Obviously, sometimes stores come and go.
[SPEAKER_11]: And we struck up kind of a, I would say a friendship.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it became clear to me that David wanted more than that.
[SPEAKER_11]: And the friendship was so significant to me that I was worried if there was a rejection that I would lose the friendship.
[SPEAKER_11]: And that was something that I didn't really want.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I have a heart made out of rotten peat and bog lost.
[SPEAKER_11]: And so I can't really feel romantic love, but I knew that there was a cookie that could allow you to sort of feel love, sort of love spell.
[SPEAKER_11]: And so I know a lot of people sort of use love spells and other people to make them fall in love.
[SPEAKER_11]: I used it on myself to make myself fall in love because I wanted to experience that.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I did fall in love and it worked.
[SPEAKER_11]: But what's so fascinating about a relationship is I discovered that they can fail, even if there is genuine love there, that there are parts of compatibility that even live outside of genuine feeling.
[SPEAKER_11]: In other words, I thought feeling alone would be enough.
[SPEAKER_11]: And even though I fell deeply in love with David, the fact of the matter is, you know, he's a forty-three-year-old man who sort of got a late start.
[SPEAKER_11]: He wanted to have a family.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm not interested in having a family.
[SPEAKER_11]: I wanted to teach him skateboarding and cool tricks and get him to bite tender lumps of flesh out of the calves and thighs of those who wander into the mall and
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, he was sort of like, would you ever want to go to Baltimore, which is where I'm from, is where my family's from, and I was like, I don't.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I, it ended up being the same or even though the affection was completely genuine and the feeling was totally sincere.
[SPEAKER_11]: For a relationship to work, it's not just about the affection, it's also about, do your lives make sense together.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I wrote all of the everywhere and I just said I wrote on a hat rather I turned wrote it on a hat tears are streaming down scratch the space right there also the part that says Baltimore on the hat has a little like Oreo like it is technically Baltimore Oreo hat
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm still a huge Orioles fan.
[SPEAKER_11]: I still watch games with David.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's still a friend.
[SPEAKER_11]: So I feel glad I didn't lose the friendship.
[SPEAKER_11]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_11]: That was sort of, that was sort of what happened.
[SPEAKER_11]: And he's a wonderful, he's a wonderful man.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I really hope he, I'm rooting for him.
[SPEAKER_11]: I hope he finds someone that can make that in his life.
[SPEAKER_11]: And just as, I think he's hoping that I'm able to sort of, you know, sing a song that will lure children to the mall.
[SPEAKER_11]: And, you know, that's, that would be wonder.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I think the fact that we realized that our lines were not running parallel, but we really wish the best for each other.
[SPEAKER_11]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's so nice.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's bitter sweet, really.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm glad you were able to feel love.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I just, yeah, thank you for sharing that.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I noticed you were so vulnerable with us just then.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that your toenails are really long as well.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, yes, yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's becoming a pattern in my life.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm noticing.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, so maybe we shouldn't just like that somebody's toenails, maybe.
[SPEAKER_03]: Nope, it seems right.
[SPEAKER_03]: I now love it, actually.
[SPEAKER_11]: If you leave your toenails long, you know, whenever whenever we try to manicure, I think manicuring your nails, manicuring your personality, trying to bend yourself in a shape to please somebody else.
[SPEAKER_11]: You end up, it's a never ending struggle just like clipping your toenails.
[SPEAKER_11]: You have to keep doing it over and over and over again.
[SPEAKER_11]: And for what?
[SPEAKER_11]: And if you let them grow and just be yourself not only do you let go of that
[SPEAKER_11]: constant energy to change the shape of your body.
[SPEAKER_11]: You also have a weapon and you can slit someone's throat with your toenails.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: That is so smart.
[SPEAKER_06]: And when the body needs it, they break on their own and they only bleed a little bit in certain occasions.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've been clipped in my toenails so much.
[SPEAKER_11]: How much do we bend ourselves out of shape to stop a little bit of bleeding?
[SPEAKER_11]: Right?
[SPEAKER_11]: How much do we change?
[SPEAKER_11]: We are to stop a little bit of bleeding.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm getting that hat.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm getting that hat.
[SPEAKER_08]: You're preaching to the choir.
[SPEAKER_08]: It says, utter, with a full mouth of the cookie that makes your pubs fall out.
[SPEAKER_08]: And he starts taking poison damage and you're like, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
[SPEAKER_08]: You're walking to the food court.
[SPEAKER_09]: You guys are, so you're now standing, there's like a down escalator going to the food court.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's rather moody.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's very very linden.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's ominously lit by a porch candlelight.
[SPEAKER_09]: Everything down there.
[SPEAKER_09]: It smells like barbecue and burnt coffee.
[SPEAKER_09]: See a Mongolian barbecue next to a dark Annie's pretzels.
[SPEAKER_09]: Next to Smiley Smiling, Happy Donuts.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm standing outside the donuts where you see three of the sock clad thieves and they're hula-hooping which appear to be with what appear to be breaded and fried hula hoops with like powdered sugar on it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, they're gonna try to hula hoop with my steering wheel.
[SPEAKER_05]: Little fuckers.
[SPEAKER_08]: Out of removes violets hand from her desert eagle.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, wait a minute.
[SPEAKER_09]: As you guys are descending the escalator, you do see a few human-sized, this is a little disturbing, but like skateboard-toting roads are posted up in the corner of the food court, smoking cigarettes, listening to pop punk.
[SPEAKER_09]: They look at you with black BDI's, as you guys, come on down towards the smiley smiling happy donuts.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well
[SPEAKER_09]: Where's the leader?
[SPEAKER_09]: and they run into the store.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'll give you the last holes, and I'm gonna run after them.
[SPEAKER_09]: You run after them.
[SPEAKER_09]: You bust in.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a classic cheap coffee and doughnut, joint fluorescent lights over black and white tiles floor, slick white counter red booths, TV's playing a football game, Tucson toolman versus the Vegas Raiders.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you can see them running into the kitchen.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I imagine all you guys were chasing after them running into the kitchen.
[SPEAKER_08]: Otter is watching the game just because that's BODY's old team.
[SPEAKER_08]: BODY's the guy we're chasing, news of former Disgraced NFL player.
[SPEAKER_08]: And he's just scouring to see if he recognizes any of BODY's old teammates.
[SPEAKER_08]: I guess this would have been significantly after his time.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, no, he's chasing after them.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're running into the kitchen.
[SPEAKER_09]: We see it like a bunch of these sock guys and they're all sort of like doing this little jig and this super messy kitchen where there's like all these like tube shape.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's like an inner tube.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's hula hoops.
[SPEAKER_09]: I like how many tube shape things are in the world.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think there's only three or four because that's all I can think of.
[SPEAKER_09]: But at the end of the kitchen, you see another sort of blueish bumpy humanoid that these bulging eyes knew it again, but wearing a large ostentatious chef's hat.
[SPEAKER_09]: And he's submerging the wheel into the deep fryer.
[SPEAKER_09]: He takes your steering wheel into the deep fryer and he takes it out and he bites it.
[SPEAKER_09]: He tastes a little bit.
[SPEAKER_09]: Sheaches his head, puts a bunch of powdered sugar over it, tries again, and then turns around and sees he's gonna go,
[SPEAKER_00]: Ah!
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey!
[SPEAKER_00]: I got a knife!
[SPEAKER_09]: Perhaps a knife.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh!
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I got a gun!
[SPEAKER_03]: And I pull out a gun.
[SPEAKER_09]: Drops the knife.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I got a Julia.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right, listen up, you little miscreant.
[SPEAKER_11]: You give that steering wheel back to violet right now.
[SPEAKER_11]: Are you assholes trying to make donuts?
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm trying to make donuts.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know how to make donuts.
[SPEAKER_04]: I just want to eat another donut.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, man.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, my life.
[SPEAKER_04]: I come to this and I eat a donut.
[SPEAKER_04]: I wake up in the alley way the first thing I see is a donut.
[SPEAKER_04]: I eat it.
[SPEAKER_04]: It tastes so good.
[SPEAKER_04]: And now I'm here.
[SPEAKER_04]: I find a donut store.
[SPEAKER_04]: But no, it seems to me I have to make donuts.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I'm trying my fucking best.
[SPEAKER_00]: You listen.
[SPEAKER_11]: The law of donut making has been lost.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's no way our greatest scientists work day and night, trying to recall how to make donuts.
[SPEAKER_11]: We can't!
[SPEAKER_11]: We can!
[SPEAKER_04]: We can!
[SPEAKER_04]: We just have to find the right circular thing I know we can!
[SPEAKER_04]: I know it's in here, I know I can work this out for me.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know I can make this donut.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I know.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know.
[SPEAKER_03]: You guys.
[SPEAKER_03]: Donuts are really pretty common where we come from.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if we should lose ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, we can I mean at least we can tell you the ingredients.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: What is the what is the donut law?
[SPEAKER_11]: What is the secrets what is the secret circle which turns into donut?
[SPEAKER_08]: You're better cook than me.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, we're a bit of a culinary guy as well.
[SPEAKER_08]: You wouldn't really guess it by how much I make my pubs just appear just now.
[SPEAKER_08]: But don't let's wait.
[SPEAKER_11]: Can we pause?
[SPEAKER_11]: How are those two connected?
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, because he doesn't have a hair net on.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't have it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, you don't need a hair net anymore.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you don't need a hair.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, you're saying because you're scattering cubes all over the place one would arrive at the conclusion that you are not a chef because they would have more care to not scatter hair everywhere.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's the train.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the logic.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, I'm fully on board.
[SPEAKER_08]: I've caught up.
[SPEAKER_08]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_08]: Thank you for bailing me out there scratch.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're all in the train now.
[SPEAKER_08]: But yeah, I'm pretty sure all you need is some dough, some oil.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think East?
[SPEAKER_08]: East?
[SPEAKER_08]: That's one of the classics.
[SPEAKER_08]: My God!
[SPEAKER_11]: East, I have East.
[SPEAKER_11]: You have East?
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, I'm absolutely stuffed with it.
[SPEAKER_11]: My heart is made of rotting moss.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh my God!
[SPEAKER_11]: I've had a yeast infection for a thousand years.
[SPEAKER_08]: Let's raise off some of that yeast with one of those scratches, toenails.
[SPEAKER_06]: Great.
[SPEAKER_06]: And look, if you don't have the right dough, the cookie shop upstairs is probably close enough, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, somewhat similar.
[SPEAKER_06]: I never thought of that.
[SPEAKER_06]: Some of that, and you already have the powdered sugar you're halfway there.
[SPEAKER_08]: And then you fry it in oil.
[SPEAKER_08]: I did see a bagel recipe on one of turds hats too.
[SPEAKER_08]: I know that's not quite a donut, but it's not far.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's some sugar.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, if you don't have the New York water, is it really even a bagel?
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, let's keep our eyes said our doughnuts.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let's not get stuck in our bagels.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, one thing at a time buddy Wait a minute is that worth a dough in doughnut comes from is from real dough?
[SPEAKER_03]: That's that's it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Ding ding.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's really it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, because I have some people spell it with the OU GH still.
[SPEAKER_11]: But La Dida.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: So my god some some real Cape Cod little ye old shot.
[SPEAKER_11]: I should like spell it a shop with two peas and an eat.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know exactly we were never
[SPEAKER_08]: We were never.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, we're simple folks.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're cool.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, oh, great.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, great.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'll provide the yeast.
[SPEAKER_11]: We've got the dough from the cookie shop upstairs.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oil.
[SPEAKER_11]: We can just render some bodies into their fat.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's oil, right?
[SPEAKER_11]: That's so good.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oil.

[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, ten luck itself is a bit of a sacrifice.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, so you're flipping through these pages.
[SPEAKER_09]: These pages full of spammy nails.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, if you send this to this many people you receive this.
[SPEAKER_09]: Here's a medication doctors don't want you to know you're flipping through all these books trying to like divine.
[SPEAKER_09]: The tea leaves, the secrets you might be able to pull from this and you open up to one page.
[SPEAKER_09]: and you just sort of like really quickly start to notice like there's a few like bolded letters you're like you see a few words you see a boon to out all our trays is the word sequence you see and something tells you like that could be meaningful so you say boon to all our trays shakes
[SPEAKER_09]: The rats are like looking disturbed and they're like they faint.
[SPEAKER_09]: One has a bad one's got a machete.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're like sort of like poking old four of you guys forward closer.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, well, boom to hell of a trace.
[SPEAKER_09]: Boom to hell of a trace.
[SPEAKER_09]: And this like arm squeezes out of the door.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's like a tentacle.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's hard to tell if it's in our arm.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a tentacle.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's like a piece of liver or something.
[SPEAKER_09]: It flops out of the door right in front of you guys.
[SPEAKER_09]: And this black wheel, broke out of it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Splashing all of you guys.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now the three of you guys have a particular vision in that moment.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're flying through the air.
[SPEAKER_09]: Your long black hair is flying out behind you.
[SPEAKER_09]: and you strike this thing on black wings with your axe.
[SPEAKER_09]: Striking it with the axe, hit the water.
[SPEAKER_09]: falling into the water.
[SPEAKER_09]: The body of this creature is open front of you, and you're plunging into the water.
[SPEAKER_09]: As you plunge through the water, this creature pulls you your strong, huge body into the womb.
[SPEAKER_09]: Pulled inside of the womb, just made your squeezing into the womb, your long black hair flowing behind you, your muscles pulling soaked by water, and your inside of the body, squeezing down like a pill through a throat.
[SPEAKER_09]: All of a sudden, now you're falling, you're free falling, you're falling and falling to a place beyond the black wing thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: And as you fall, all you can hear is your own heartbeat, bringing in your ear drums.
[SPEAKER_09]: Something collides with you, something falling upward.
[SPEAKER_09]: you look back and you see black hair flying up above you as you fly down you don't know what you're seeing you look down and as you look down you see sand below you and the heartbeat hammers hammers hammers hammers the psychedelic vision ends there
[SPEAKER_09]: and all of you guys are now alone in the food court.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's no more cultists, there's no more rats.
[SPEAKER_09]: Orange Julia, I'm guessing you maybe had reveries around your lost lover and what's to come next.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think this this creature is known for if you give a gift it likes it gives you a vision of something to help you.
[SPEAKER_09]: But you're hearing the in the in the food court rats are gone the cloaks are gone the the Annie's pretzels is dark in front of you and Same still creepy fire lights, but um You deal with that often oh Constantly Oh My god, yeah
[SPEAKER_08]: That's intense.
[SPEAKER_08]: Julia's veil score must be like five thousand to just take that on the chin.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm twenty one years old.
[SPEAKER_11]: What is that true?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, that's kind of how rough it is in here.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, you get these visions and you kind of, it make you go Coca-Cola.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, it's been so long today over twenty though.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh,

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah Julia I think what you're about to say is it's been fun it's been great getting to know yeah thank you so much for walking us around the mall
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think we can stay here for much longer.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, no, no, you must leave it once, but I would ask one fever of you before you go.
[SPEAKER_11]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, what?
[SPEAKER_11]: Can you leave a five-star review on Google?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, we're off the grid right now, but
[SPEAKER_08]: Do you mind?
[SPEAKER_10]: When you get back up to service, when you get back up to service, can you leave a five-star review of Google?
[SPEAKER_10]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_08]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_08]: And word of mouth helps too, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: We can just tell people about this.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you, you know, you wanted, you, you wanted to create a song that lures children down here.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're going to be singing your praises to every child and team that we see because down here, it's incredible.
[SPEAKER_06]: You've got it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think I know also that, you know, I'm going to,
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure you would probably prefer like a finger or something like that, but Violet pulls out a pocket knife and takes a piece of their hair and cuts it and hands it over to Julia.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, well, this, do.
[SPEAKER_11]: A long, wart-covered tongue snakes out of her.
[SPEAKER_11]: Bumolored jaw and slurps the hair up of this.
[SPEAKER_11]: Absolutely remarkable.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you for the kindness you have shown me.
[SPEAKER_11]: That is absolutely delicious.
[SPEAKER_11]: And may I say, your shampoo is fantastic.

[SPEAKER_03]: It was new.
[SPEAKER_11]: Absolutely lovely.
[SPEAKER_11]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_11]: It really, really seasons that you have a natural mommy to your hair.
[SPEAKER_11]: That is in the shampoo actually adds some brightness.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I think it's a wonderful pairing.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, honestly, I'm not just saying this because Julia said it.
[SPEAKER_06]: I smelled it in the car.
[SPEAKER_06]: I didn't say anything, but it's true.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like a sage citrus.
[SPEAKER_03]: So like, you know, that makes sense.
[SPEAKER_08]: They make that shampoo up in black fork.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's locally sourced.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think they do make it with a little bit of like fully water during to put that into.
[SPEAKER_10]: They make it with what?
[SPEAKER_10]: What have we done?
[SPEAKER_09]: So you guys are are now fleeing from the scene.
[SPEAKER_09]: The camera pulls out as you're running up another down escalator to make it back to your car.
[SPEAKER_09]: His orange-tutually spits and smokes.
[SPEAKER_09]: The camera pulls out as the gang gets back in the car.
[SPEAKER_09]: Heads deeper and deeper into the strange and perverse small.
[SPEAKER_09]: Blackout!
[SPEAKER_08]: Awesome.
[SPEAKER_08]: Great job everybody.
[SPEAKER_08]: That was such a ball.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm going to stop my audacity.
[SPEAKER_08]: Perfect.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right on.
[SPEAKER_08]: Thank you so much, Brendan.
[SPEAKER_08]: Thank you very much.
[SPEAKER_09]: did forget to say that we listened to the raw of the Brennan episode last night was really funny.
[SPEAKER_09]: We were laugh at I like listening with Michaela because she gives different laughs like you know I'm it's like I can't even listen to the the recordings without like sort of re-entering the frame of mind I was in and yeah but having Michaela there being like ha ha ha ha so it's refreshing refreshing yeah it's like it's like those are those are
[SPEAKER_09]: real ears.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's so interesting.
[SPEAKER_03]: Would you mind just recording Michaela's life in a setting setting that's the first time she listened to a raw shoes like
[SPEAKER_09]: and that was the only one of the
[SPEAKER_09]: Brennan was, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_09]: We should ask him if you want to be the fifth chair.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the one thing I was going to say is that my favorite thing is whenever I'm listening to an episode and I laugh and then I hear myself laugh in a thing and I'm like, I laughed at the same thing for I have the same guy.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you think of like, oh,
[SPEAKER_06]: I should have said this.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then you can say it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then the thirty seconds later you say it.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's that or like where I'm like oh that makes me mad or that makes me I like feel a thing about something and then I hear myself say the thing and I'm like yay like I did it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Sometimes I'm someone will say something and it will be like I'll think of like a throwaway joke and I'm like well that sucks and then I'll hear myself say it.
[SPEAKER_08]: I really had to force that line in there.
[SPEAKER_08]: I have the same instinct.
[SPEAKER_08]: Let it go.
[SPEAKER_03]: Those are the best times though, when you like forget about those things.
[SPEAKER_03]: And the worst times are when you remember and then you're like, it would be funny if I could have made that really funny.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's me after every joke I see.
[SPEAKER_08]: That would have been so funny.
[SPEAKER_08]: Imagine if that was so funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you imagine how good this episode would have been if it were good.
[SPEAKER_08]: Just kidding.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's it is a good episode and guys, you're gonna love hearing it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Q the music?
[SPEAKER_08]: Who's that a manufactured opening?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, why have the openings?
[SPEAKER_06]: So that'll be the manufactured out.
[SPEAKER_03]: Q the music and start the episode again.
[SPEAKER_09]: Whoa, two hour long episode of gutter and it's just that it could start so over.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let's start it three times too, just for fun.
