[SPEAKER_13]: This whole time I thought they were two different things.
[SPEAKER_13]: I don't know that at all.
[SPEAKER_13]: I was, I was with Casey, Ganonu.
[SPEAKER_13]: I knew.
[SPEAKER_13]: Did it let me know?
[SPEAKER_23]: That Garbanzo beans are chickpeas.
[SPEAKER_23]: I don't know if I officially knew it for sure, but I certainly knew they were nearly the same thing, I guess.
[SPEAKER_13]: To me, chickpeas are something that I like, and Garbanzo beans are something gross.
[SPEAKER_23]: That I'd be like, they're like the same.
[SPEAKER_13]: They are the same.
[SPEAKER_23]: They are the same.
[SPEAKER_25]: They are the same.
[SPEAKER_23]: I guess I didn't know that they were officially the same.
[SPEAKER_25]: I don't know if I ever had Garbanzo beans.
[SPEAKER_25]: I always avoid them because I like chickpeas, but not Garbanzo.
[SPEAKER_13]: I only found out because I was looking for chickpeas, and then I saw Garbanzo beans, and then it said in parentheses underneath, it said chickpeas.
[SPEAKER_13]: Turn to Joe's.
[SPEAKER_13]: Uh, harvest time.
[SPEAKER_13]: harvest time.
[SPEAKER_23]: Are we in the recording right now?
[SPEAKER_25]: I mean, it's starting to sound like it.
[SPEAKER_25]: I was going to go film my water, but you're free to keep talking while I film my water.
[SPEAKER_23]: OK, why don't you film your water while I keep talking?
[SPEAKER_23]: You want to water Mike?

[SPEAKER_13]: Oh, yeah, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_23]: Oh, I just want to say hello.
[SPEAKER_23]: Hello to everyone around this table and out there in the big wide universe podcast, wherever you're listening to this.

[SPEAKER_23]: We did these recently and it appears and like we did
[SPEAKER_23]: told you all that they were the amount of voicemails that we got over the course of the entire year and we finally were doing something with them.
[SPEAKER_23]: guess what we have received officially more voicemails in the past several months since those two episodes came out then we did in the entire year of last year so we are going to again do the it's clear we had fun we have a great time I can't wait to hear what then the hell everybody has to say
[SPEAKER_13]: The most important metric for how successful a podcast is is how many voicemails do they get on their funny phone number.
[SPEAKER_17]: Yes, yes, which is seven seven seven three six six six pop up pop up.
[SPEAKER_25]: What should we get?
[SPEAKER_25]: Should we get right into it?
[SPEAKER_25]: Should we start with one of these suckers?
[SPEAKER_25]: I got them loaded up here.
[SPEAKER_25]: Yeah, fire, fire, it right at us.
[SPEAKER_25]: Um, well, here's the thing, the last voicemail we did in part two of the voicemail episode, the first go around.
[SPEAKER_25]: Um, was on November 25th.
[SPEAKER_25]: And this one came in just three days later, so if it'd come in just a little bit earlier, we would have gotten to it.
[SPEAKER_25]: But instead, it is going to be the first voicemail of the new generation.
[SPEAKER_25]: Here we go.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah!
[SPEAKER_11]: This was in the past.
[SPEAKER_13]: This was fun.

[SPEAKER_25]: Don't sue us.
[SPEAKER_25]: That's pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_25]: That's the only rent control, right?
[SPEAKER_25]: We're not in this package now.

[SPEAKER_13]: Thank you so much for literally evangelizing us to the, a Shadow Run Nepo baby.
[SPEAKER_13]: I'm just kidding, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_17]: You had to run air, uh, you know what, we were a miss Johnson.
[SPEAKER_17]: We would really, we would razz on Shadow run a little bit, but we would.
[SPEAKER_17]: But in, in, I, I think it's safe to say, since not using the system for a really long time, there's so many things about it that we were like, you know what that kind of kind of really rocks.
[SPEAKER_17]: Yeah, I did like that, and the setting is fucking cool, so like, yeah.
[SPEAKER_17]: So the guys,
[SPEAKER_17]: You know, only for me respect absolute absolute maximum respect.
[SPEAKER_23]: I mean, that doing that amount of work on something in general with that much detail and all that stuff, like that's awesome.

[SPEAKER_24]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_24]: He's gonna get everybody who works hard for us.
[SPEAKER_13]: I just want to say it reminded me so much of the time I met Jessica Lovecraft.

[SPEAKER_13]: He checks it back.
[SPEAKER_13]: A photo of a tentacle monster.

[SPEAKER_25]: I didn't even start adding music to Neo's come at the point we are in gutter releases yet.
[SPEAKER_25]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_17]: It was a breakthrough song.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_23]: The reason we saw which I was like, we got to put this song in.

[UNKNOWN]: Goodbye.
[SPEAKER_13]: On the Spotify, like, AI labeling of different parts of the show.

[SPEAKER_25]: Yeah, yeah, absolutely was not out yet Maybe now it but I think now it now it will be here on January 15th the next day
[SPEAKER_27]: What's up, Gauder-Dang?
[SPEAKER_27]: It's, do, calling it in my friend.
[SPEAKER_27]: I just do.
[SPEAKER_27]: Today, love the show, short time listener, long time caller.
[SPEAKER_27]: Big fan of Ganon, reading, the side of the Mississippi, and I won't tell you which side that is.
[SPEAKER_27]: I have questions, flash compliments for all of you.
[SPEAKER_27]: So first and foremost, I'll start off with Ganon.
[SPEAKER_27]: Ganon, what is your favorite thing about this system versus playing with Leo's gum?
[SPEAKER_27]: And next question, Eleni, how do you feel about having a character that doesn't have a British accent?
[SPEAKER_27]: Is it much more convenient or do you kind of miss it?
[SPEAKER_27]: Mike, how have things changed between you and your fellow
[SPEAKER_27]: podcast, you know, like how those relationships developed around the table, of course, I know personally, you know, that things change, but around the table, can you give me any insight into that?
[SPEAKER_27]: And, Casey Tony, where do you draw your inspiration for such lovely editing and sound clips?
[SPEAKER_27]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_27]: I love you all, bye.
[SPEAKER_17]: Bye, Stu.
[SPEAKER_17]: Secret.
[SPEAKER_17]: Meets, Stu is a little bit inspired by my good friend.
[SPEAKER_17]: Is that true?
[SPEAKER_17]: That's true.
[SPEAKER_17]: A little bit.
[SPEAKER_17]: He's got a little bit of the real-life Stu's wonderful boy and tenors.
[SPEAKER_25]: I wanted to meet Stu, Stu, you took, you said so many good things about him.
[SPEAKER_01]: You wanted to meet Stu.
[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to meet Stu.
[SPEAKER_01]: Meets, Stu.
[SPEAKER_25]: I don't want to be beef with Stu.
[SPEAKER_25]: I ought to meet Stu.
[SPEAKER_25]: Violet.
[SPEAKER_13]: It's great.
[SPEAKER_13]: I think we should maybe set up a like video conference between Jamie, who said that they loved me to do the real yeah, so yeah, I think I
[SPEAKER_17]: the thing I like the most about the color catholic system is that we were just talking about how much we like to add around one problem I have a shadow around at least for podcasting is that like it is you got to pick up a bunch of dice you got to drop the dice you got to count the dice you got to do a little bit of quick mathematics in your head.
[SPEAKER_17]: of plusing and minusing various things and it makes combat super long.
[SPEAKER_17]: It makes combat always super super super long and it can kill energy a little bit in a podcast space.
[SPEAKER_17]: Like I imagine like if you've got a table set up and you've got like your cool little figurines and stuff like that you can probably rip through that have a great time.
[SPEAKER_17]: But yeah, for a podcast, it's like it's you really want to I really want to keep the energy up and make everything feel really kinetic and immediate Call of Kthulu is pretty good where it's like dice dice This is what happened dice dice this is what happened the players know if they pass or fail Which is fun.
[SPEAKER_17]: I mean it's it's fun counting the hits getting a hit is a little bit more exciting than just a pass Because you can see the five's in the sex.
[SPEAKER_17]: It's like you get a little casino response
[SPEAKER_17]: But it's a, I appreciate the speed.
[SPEAKER_17]: I appreciate how much, you know, you can cover a wide breath of action with the, with the Coke through the rules.
[SPEAKER_25]: Uh, that's, that's my Jesus.
[SPEAKER_25]: It did just, the one thing about like counting the hits.
[SPEAKER_25]: Uh, and this isn't, my part is to use question, but just to, bounce off that, I've mentioned before that like, uh,
[SPEAKER_25]: Despite the actual rules of shadow run, the physical act, the tactile experience of grabbing 16 D6 dice, six-sided dice and throwing those at the table in the clatter and then separating them and
[SPEAKER_25]: And then using Edge and then like the six is exploding and re-rolling and stuff like that is so that itself is like a mini game.
[SPEAKER_25]: You could just do that for fun.
[SPEAKER_25]: You know, you could just like have a handful of dice and just be like five and sixes, like I re-roll sixes, this is just fun.
[SPEAKER_25]: And that was what like really made me want to get like some other way of rolling
[SPEAKER_25]: doing my roles in Callica Thulu, which is why I have that ring, just because like these stepped down from rolling 16 D6s to just rolling 2 D10s, you know, you need to be able to Stimmax.
[SPEAKER_25]: I need to Stimmax.
[SPEAKER_25]: And the ring is the solution I found for that, but I was looking at all sorts of the different options.
[SPEAKER_25]: That's just a fun one, that is fun.
[SPEAKER_16]: How do you feel by no longer doing a British accent?
[SPEAKER_23]: Um, well, I definitely miss it sometimes, and then other times, I'm grateful that I can just sort of sound like myself and not worry about whether I like.
[SPEAKER_23]: Oh, did I, did that sound like shitty or, oh my god, I'm fucking up the blah, blah, blah, but I will say the main thing of all that I would miss about it would be the easy ability to quickly distinguish between myself and the character.
[SPEAKER_23]: If I'm talking like this like you know who I am and that's what's happening right now And then you're like, okay, that's a different person because they have a different accent and I've kind of don't have that nice luxury anymore I've got to send it in vibes and and essence only
[SPEAKER_25]: I mean, look, we've kind of played it this before, but if you want scratch to hit you in the back of the head with, like, a club or some sort of, like, heavy object that suddenly gives you a Greek accent.
[SPEAKER_23]: That would be so crazy if Violet was just suddenly.
[SPEAKER_23]: Something like that.
[SPEAKER_23]: Okay, what are you guys going?
[SPEAKER_12]: What's happening?
[SPEAKER_12]: Come on, come over here.
[SPEAKER_12]: Let me talk to you.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, much.
[SPEAKER_12]: This guy, he did not put the, the seat belt on.
[SPEAKER_12]: I will kill you.
[SPEAKER_12]: You didn't put the seat belt on.
[SPEAKER_12]: I will fucking kill you.
[SPEAKER_13]: Hey, fine, hold on, I'll get his head in the head with a candle that makes him greek and he's like, Hey, love, I know where is the lamb?
[SPEAKER_10]: I want the onion.
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't have any lamb, I told you already.
[SPEAKER_12]: I gave it away.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, hey, let me walk to the store.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay, that's too adicting.
[SPEAKER_25]: Ooh, and then scratch slips on the banana peel.
[SPEAKER_25]: It's sat on the rock that makes him turn to me to a baby.
[SPEAKER_12]: There is a baby here.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, come on, come on, little baby.
[SPEAKER_24]: Boo, boo, boo, boo.
[SPEAKER_12]: Gross, baby.
[SPEAKER_25]: Greek, but I couldn't really hit the cave with the way it's good.
[SPEAKER_25]: Listen, now, and Stu, how would you guys like that?
[SPEAKER_25]: Is that what we should bring into?
[SPEAKER_23]: Everyone's hitting me up.
[SPEAKER_23]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_13]: Stu, I just want to say really quickly for answer your question, that we have your coaster from your bachelor party.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_13]: It's great.
[SPEAKER_13]: And it is one of my favorite coasters.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_13]: And I have long been a Stu fan from a distance based off of stories.
[SPEAKER_13]: It's a cozy.
[SPEAKER_13]: A cozy.
[SPEAKER_13]: I said coasters.
[SPEAKER_13]: I was completely wrong.
[SPEAKER_01]: Ah.
[SPEAKER_13]: I actually was thinking I was like, God, you guys have coasters and coosies, you got so much No, it's just a coosie I completely forgot the word coosie, you know that I guess well I barely I say coosie I think some people say coosie Is there another name for that?
[SPEAKER_13]: A drink holder?
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, a drink sleeve, a can sleeve, a little foam can Student the later the question was how has my dynamic changed over the years with uh You guys I think that was they did marry one of us.
[SPEAKER_13]: I did marry again, which one I would say
[SPEAKER_13]: you know, over the years as I have done less improv outside of these podcasts, I get more joy and find myself feeling more spiritually refreshed from the time that we spend together.
[SPEAKER_13]: It's less of just like another improv, ask thing that I'm doing and more of like, oh,
[SPEAKER_13]: This is something that I'm not doing as much and I look forward to it even more.
[SPEAKER_13]: So I find myself feeling really refreshed and like spiritually renewed when we do have a recording and are able to
[SPEAKER_13]: Sit around and table with each other and I would say our friendships have only deepened over the years and I've always been someone who I think is hyper aware of how other people's moods are even if that's just sort of like my perception, but I do think that I have got a pretty good sense of how everyone is feeling and I maybe have gotten a little better at not letting that affect me.
[SPEAKER_13]: just by controlling what I'm doing, but also I sort of have this, and I'm not trying to like to my own horn or say that this is a good thing or anything, but sometimes I feel like I try to just do whatever the table needs.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, even if it's not like performing it's in other ways and certainly I have times not don't do that but like that's sort of the sports mentality that I have which is like don't talk about your feelings, fake it and go.
[SPEAKER_23]: So your skills and interpersonal relationships have only grown and deepened as well as you're
[SPEAKER_23]: your level of passion for the actual work that you're doing and the project rather than just saying it's another thing.
[SPEAKER_23]: The check off my list of little, my little performance.
[SPEAKER_13]: And separately, I do think I feel like I need to win less than I did 10 years ago.
[SPEAKER_13]: I think I've always kind of struggled with being competitive, but I think I'm over the years
[SPEAKER_25]: You're always incredibly attentive, Mike, of when, like, somebody was going to say something, and then just the conversation got away from it, you're very good about being like, you know, case you're going to say something, money you're going to say something, giving or or not, not just that exact thing, but that just speaking to your, your attentiveness and
[SPEAKER_25]: Thanks, Casey.
[SPEAKER_13]: I appreciate that.
[SPEAKER_13]: I just I also know how it feels to have missed your your chance to speak and then be like, uh So I don't like it.
[SPEAKER_13]: I don't like it.
[SPEAKER_13]: I don't like it when anyone feels that way and listen, you're gonna say something.
[SPEAKER_13]: Oh, it's an exponent call Wait, no, it's Casey's One thing that's got better is I've gotten really good at knowing
[SPEAKER_25]: Yeah, you're a fuck you, Casey.
[SPEAKER_23]: It was about your editing inspiration.
[SPEAKER_23]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_25]: Where do you draw inspiration for such lovely editing sound clips?
[SPEAKER_25]: Thank you all.
[SPEAKER_25]: That is.
[SPEAKER_25]: That's a tough question because I feel like I was way more in tune with my inspiration.
[SPEAKER_25]: Sources of inspiration both for what I wanted podcast like what I wanted neoscomptus sound like as well as like just what media I was trying to like emulate with my sound design and stuff.
[SPEAKER_25]: I was way more in tune with that.
[SPEAKER_25]: in the first few years of neoscum because I was going from not being an editor and sound designer to being an editor and sound designer, to being heavily invested as an editor and sound designer to like it being my professional career.
[SPEAKER_25]: So now in terms of influence, I feel like it's harder to track
[SPEAKER_25]: that, but I think there's always a balance between kind of the bar I've set for like what gutter sounds like, which I'm always shocked when I go back and listen to what I thought was like the best of like...
[SPEAKER_25]: I'm like, oh man, like, this, this arc of neoscom I remember doing really good work and I listen to it and it sounds like positively primitive to me, like nowadays, like, and not even in the judgemental way, but like even in my memory, I'm not, I'm just imagining it is like so much more developed.
[SPEAKER_25]: I'm like, how could you not have an ambiance on the scene or something?
[SPEAKER_25]: So I'm always like, I'm balancing just meeting the bar.
[SPEAKER_25]: But I,
[SPEAKER_25]: I also like chasing the fun and finding the fun.
[SPEAKER_25]: I think at the start of gutter, I was, there were times where I felt like I was too concerned with,
[SPEAKER_25]: Just I had to sound design everything that was mentioned and I had to like make every single environment in scene sound, you know, natural and organic and it started to feel I don't say I paint by numbers because I'm still approaching it like creatively, but
[SPEAKER_25]: it it felt like I wasn't just I wasn't following outside influences like I was in the fun days of of Nios come and and I remember one episode where I really tried to do that was episode.
[SPEAKER_25]: Is it seven where we go into the pyramid?
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, thanks so yeah six or seven six
[SPEAKER_25]: Oh, it's got to be it's six.
[SPEAKER_25]: Yeah, because seven's one came.
[SPEAKER_25]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_25]: So, so, and episode six, I had made the decision.
[SPEAKER_25]: I had, at some point, I don't remember what it was based on, maybe even somebody else's idea or something, but I just imagined having like dungeon synth for us going into this pyramid would be cool.
[SPEAKER_25]: And then I found a couple Louise on albums.
[SPEAKER_25]: Louise on is a music artist and and
[SPEAKER_25]: Visual artist who allows you to use his music as long as you give credit and I just I was like, I'm going to sound design this entire episode only with his music like once we get to the pyramid at least and I did that and I was just like I really allowed myself to kind of chase the fun and let it be less like I'm just kind of fulfilling and and that kind of real woke something in me and and since then it's you know I'm always just trying to manage that balance of like
[SPEAKER_25]: Even if I cannot identify this specific influences for you, Stu, like I want to feel like a spark of fun and a spark of inspiration from an external source is what motivates me to do some unique choice.
[SPEAKER_25]: So that's like Mike saying that like breakbeat music is playing whenever he's doing the
[SPEAKER_25]: a fun challenge for me to chase and, uh, you know, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_25]: I remember a lot on that, but hopefully there was some interesting stuff in there.
[SPEAKER_17]: I'd say.
[SPEAKER_17]: Thanks, too.
[SPEAKER_25]: We love you, Steve.
[SPEAKER_25]: We love you, Stu.
[SPEAKER_29]: Hey, it's me, uh, Clarence Mugbeen.
[SPEAKER_29]: I, uh, I just called, because I, I need to get something off my chest.
[SPEAKER_29]: I, I moved to a new town for a job about five years ago.
[SPEAKER_29]: I've only been there a month or two when someone stopped me to ask for directions.
[SPEAKER_29]: They asked, they said they wanted to go to Delaware Street.
[SPEAKER_29]: And I was like, oh yeah, yeah, I think it's this way.
[SPEAKER_29]: That I pointed in the direction.
[SPEAKER_29]: And when I got to a computer and I looked up where Delaware Street was, I pointed in the complete opposite direction.
[SPEAKER_29]: And that you still haunts me.
[SPEAKER_29]: I hope these are the streets they live with you for.
[SPEAKER_13]: Thank you, Clarence Mung Bean.
[SPEAKER_25]: Oh, thank you.
[SPEAKER_25]: Thank you for that mission, Clarence.
[SPEAKER_23]: That was really cleansing.
[SPEAKER_25]: I think we've all been on both sides of that in one form or another.
[SPEAKER_17]: Doesn't it feel good as fuck to tell someone, oh no, yeah, the streets that way.
[SPEAKER_17]: And then realizing that you were so wrong.
[SPEAKER_17]: You're sick.
[SPEAKER_17]: The pain that gets taken away.
[SPEAKER_17]: That doesn't feel good.
[SPEAKER_17]: It feels good being like, I know where this is and then being like, oh, wait a minute.
[SPEAKER_17]: That guy probably walks for a few blocks, looking around like a, what the heck?
[SPEAKER_17]: Where am I?
[SPEAKER_17]: I don't see it.
[SPEAKER_17]: That guy was so confident.
[SPEAKER_25]: What's going on?
[SPEAKER_25]: Yeah, especially if you're really confident now you deliver it.
[SPEAKER_25]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_17]: And then being like, then that person had to go to someone's like,
[SPEAKER_17]: Hey, I already asked someone this, but I Figure out, guess I try again.
[SPEAKER_17]: There's nowhere street and they're like, oh, it's that way and the cold look that sort of probably descended on that guy's face.
[SPEAKER_13]: What if you're loyal to the first guy and you're like, nobody, it must be right.
[SPEAKER_13]: Like, I've got to keep going the wrong way.
[SPEAKER_13]: There you guys seem so confident.
[SPEAKER_23]: This reminds me of something which I think is a very universal experience where you realize that you, I have P.B.M.I.L.A.
[SPEAKER_25]: And he's poking his ear with the tape.
[SPEAKER_23]: Get that.
[SPEAKER_23]: That's scary.
[SPEAKER_23]: Anyway, universal experience where you're walking somewhere and you realize that you are going in the wrong direction.
[SPEAKER_23]: And so you have to now just like stop and turn around.
[SPEAKER_23]: But how many of us,
[SPEAKER_23]: will take some type of physical detour to because we don't want to show the outside world that like you literally could just turn around and no one would probably know.
[SPEAKER_23]: But no, I'm going to go across the street.
[SPEAKER_23]: I'm going to casually look at my phone.
[SPEAKER_25]: I was just going to say, yeah, look at your phone like, oh, something changed.
[SPEAKER_25]: I know.
[SPEAKER_23]: I have a question.
[SPEAKER_23]: And it's like no one's paying attention and yet the impulse to be like hmm or like or like stop and and like have a moment a visible moment of recognition like oh and then turn around like To know one it's telegraph it for like your inner observer.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_13]: I want this to be
[SPEAKER_13]: There like I am just going the right way after going the wrong way.
[SPEAKER_13]: Like I will literally be like in the middle of crossing the street at a super crowded intersection And I'm the only one walking center stage.
[SPEAKER_13]: I'll get halfway across and then I like just look so foolish and then turn around the other way and everyone will start honking their horns like hyenas laughing at me And people get out of their cars and start throwing crap at me.
[SPEAKER_13]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_24]: I think it's a good hit it no, you don't know
[SPEAKER_24]: He got it wrong.
[SPEAKER_24]: Oh, which way you go in, boy?
[SPEAKER_24]: Poor.
[SPEAKER_24]: What should we do?
[SPEAKER_24]: Lost.
[SPEAKER_13]: All of the lights become green and they all speed into me.
[SPEAKER_25]: I think maybe the best here's the tactic, and this wasn't a voicemail, but here's the tactic.
[SPEAKER_25]: If you ever have to turn around, if you ever have to make that change and you don't want to do the phone thing or the big U-turn which everybody can see right through, just
[SPEAKER_25]: Open your eyes wide at the middle distance and point out in a finger or like the devil or something like that, you know, you see something that everybody else doesn't see.
[SPEAKER_17]: First of all, you're no longer fouled.
[SPEAKER_17]: Yeah!
[SPEAKER_25]: Yeah me no longer in the sprint in the other direction.
[SPEAKER_23]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_23]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_13]: You could just keep walking the entire length of the earth You come get back to the right direction that you meant to go You have a long beard and you have like you weren't cool global clothing from all the past Yeah, yeah, the friends he've made and then you realize that like
[SPEAKER_25]: you didn't really need to get to, it wasn't about getting to where you were going.
[SPEAKER_25]: That was about going.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_25]: And like you arrive at your destination.
[SPEAKER_13]: And you think you need to be here.
[SPEAKER_13]: You think that as you're falling off the edge of the earth, because this is all just a dream happening in your head because you but fell off the earth.
[SPEAKER_25]: Um, who wants to hear another voicemail?
[SPEAKER_23]: Me, me, me, me.
[SPEAKER_25]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_25]: I'm going to warn you guys.
[SPEAKER_25]: This is three minutes long.
[SPEAKER_25]: It says transcription not available.
[SPEAKER_25]: Oh, so I don't know what that means.
[SPEAKER_13]: We can scrub through it if it seems like it's a pocket call.
[SPEAKER_09]: A is some hot dog guy again, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy, hot dog guy
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, I had to go because I've lived in a normal, normal blue color life and it's just then shattered by this strange event and it's making me feel crazy.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I go to this room full of people that are instructing to be open and understanding that if historically then open and understanding the only people who really listen to me.
[SPEAKER_09]: And they laugh.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're not supposed to do that in AA, but this is so ridiculous that a group of 40-something-year-old men last at me.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I thought maybe it's not that serious.
[SPEAKER_09]: Maybe I should be laughing too until I get home and there's a fucking delivery driver.
[SPEAKER_09]: Not again.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'm so beaten down by the night that I just might don't even ask.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've put it on my card, and you know, uh, hot dogs, you know, I can, I can, I can eat them.
[SPEAKER_09]: I can give them away, people think I'm weird, you know?
[SPEAKER_09]: Whatever, I can, I can, I can fertilize my fucking garden if I have my plate.
[SPEAKER_09]: Lasting, crying, emoji, sticky note, pads.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, what am I going to do with that?
[SPEAKER_09]: I can't use those to be just reminded of this all the time with my little fucking to do list or whatever.
[SPEAKER_09]: Jesus Christ.
[SPEAKER_09]: See, you know what, you know what?
[SPEAKER_09]: Hear that?
[SPEAKER_09]: Trapped open a cold one, just for you, 15 years down the fucking drain.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because my friends are avoiding me, my wife doesn't trust me, my daughter thinks I should go to therapy, fucking therapy.
[SPEAKER_09]: So the only one who should be going to therapy is you, you sick, freaks, you're statistics.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is a targeted harassment campaign against me, and I would be pursuing legal action if it didn't put me in such a fucking hole with all these stupid fucking little items.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'm not going to ask for money this time, you know?
[SPEAKER_09]: It's in a lot of time.
[SPEAKER_17]: It could be, it could be, it could be, it could be real.
[SPEAKER_17]: I think we just cut that.
[SPEAKER_23]: It's a bit that the previous one was about how a bunch of hot dogs got delivered to their house, and they then had to pay for the hot dogs and like, it was some, it took me a second to remember, too.
[SPEAKER_13]: But yeah, yeah, I got it.
[SPEAKER_17]: Right.
[SPEAKER_17]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_17]: Well, this is a real tour to force performance, real patina shit.
[SPEAKER_25]: That one did get cut off, but it looks like there are 32 more seconds of message from the same number right after.
[SPEAKER_13]: I'm going to be honest, I forgot about the first part of the message and I was really scared for like the first 15 seconds about where this was going because the energy was so probable and really intense and true, you know, sorry about everything, your daughter might be right about the therapy.
[SPEAKER_25]: Well, listen, listen, this is for those who aren't familiar or don't remember, we got an email from this, or we got a voice mail from this person in one of our previous voice mail.
[SPEAKER_25]: Well, there's pp again being cute.
[SPEAKER_13]: One of our previous voice mail apps, and they are they accused us of sending them a bunch of hot dogs like prank style that, you know,
[SPEAKER_23]: And I would do it again to be honest.
[SPEAKER_23]: I would do it again.
[SPEAKER_23]: I would send the hotdogs again.
[SPEAKER_23]: I uh, it's all me.
[SPEAKER_23]: It's all my fault.
[SPEAKER_13]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_13]: You just, you just admit it.
[SPEAKER_23]: I just admit it.
[SPEAKER_19]: But I need to come to the last 34 seconds.
[SPEAKER_19]: I've run this person's life.
[SPEAKER_19]: It's around hot dogs.
[SPEAKER_19]: That's what I'm gonna eat.
[SPEAKER_19]: I'm gonna eat it.
[SPEAKER_25]: I'm gonna eat it.
[SPEAKER_13]: I'm gonna eat it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm gonna eat it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm gonna eat it
[SPEAKER_09]: My life is in shambles, and all I need for you to do is consider the repercussions of your act, because they have repercussions, and you are ruining my fucking life.
[SPEAKER_09]: Please, me, alone.
[SPEAKER_13]: Music to our ears.
[SPEAKER_23]: I need to say something.
[SPEAKER_23]: So when we get these voicemails, we do get an email alert that pops up with a little bit of a transcription.
[SPEAKER_23]: And when this one came up, I was like, what?
[SPEAKER_23]: Because the transcription, can you read the transcription, Casey?
[SPEAKER_23]: Just the beginning?
[SPEAKER_25]: Oh, the second one, and bear in mind the first one for some reason did not leave a transcription.
[SPEAKER_13]: Correct.
[SPEAKER_13]: So we didn't have the context.
[SPEAKER_13]: There was, this was just coming in, blind.
[SPEAKER_25]: Here, I'm just, I'll read it like we imagine, read it.
[SPEAKER_25]: God, the sound of your, just a random stranger.
[SPEAKER_25]: God, the sound of your happy little voices makes me fucking sick.
[SPEAKER_25]: But I need to finish my thought.
[SPEAKER_25]: I just stop, please.
[SPEAKER_25]: My life is in shambles.
[SPEAKER_25]: All I need for you to do is consider the repercussions of your actions because they have repercussions and you are ruining my fucking life.
[SPEAKER_25]: Leave me alone.
[SPEAKER_25]: This is somebody who...
[SPEAKER_25]: Uh, keep, uh, who, uh, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_23]: Well, I saw this transcript coming and I was like, geez, I'm scared.
[SPEAKER_25]: They do not like our podcast.
[SPEAKER_13]: They do not like seeing, uh, uh, happy little faces.
[SPEAKER_13]: Oh, let me told me about this.
[SPEAKER_13]: And then I got scared.
[SPEAKER_13]: So then I was just like, I have to just listen to this.
[SPEAKER_13]: So I listened to it and I was like,
[SPEAKER_13]: Okay, that's it.
[SPEAKER_13]: It's got to be a bit.
[SPEAKER_13]: It sounds like a bit and we love the bit and it turns out to be a little bit.
[SPEAKER_25]: It's the person that we've been sending all these hot dogs.
[SPEAKER_25]: Yeah, yeah, there's too much of a fucking little paper little doll to eat 10 hot dogs a day for a week.
[SPEAKER_17]: They can't handle a little gang stalking at him on the table.
[SPEAKER_25]: Here's the fucking thing, man.
[SPEAKER_25]: It's the fucking thing.
[SPEAKER_25]: We're safe.
[SPEAKER_25]: You're like, oh, I've got to pay for these hotdogs that keep getting delivered to my head.
[SPEAKER_25]: Yeah, and you're saving on like instacart fees and door bags.
[SPEAKER_13]: We're feeding you.
[SPEAKER_13]: And we're giving you entertainment in the little emoji crime emoji hats or whatever.
[SPEAKER_13]: The other thing that a lending sent.
[SPEAKER_23]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_13]: That you were talking about in your other three minute long tirade against us.
[SPEAKER_23]: But I want to hear about how we actually fix your life and that you go back to AA and you get your life together.
[SPEAKER_17]: Also, he said it was his first AA in, but he's been sober 15 years.
[SPEAKER_25]: Well, first AA, I think he went in months.
[SPEAKER_25]: He stopped in many, like, I think he was like, he hadn't gone for quite some time because you need to, because he felt so balanced.
[SPEAKER_25]: Here's, I'm going to give you better advice than a Lenny drink.
[SPEAKER_25]: Drink, drink, drink, you little worm.
[SPEAKER_25]: Be that worm in the tequila bottle yourself.
[SPEAKER_25]: We're gonna keep sending hot dogs.
[SPEAKER_25]: We're gonna keep sending emojis, like little cowboy hats, smiling emoji with our happy little faces, and you're gonna fucking eat them all.
[SPEAKER_13]: And it's gonna be easy because you'll be so drunk.
[SPEAKER_13]: I may be better at racing casey, do not do what casey said.
[SPEAKER_26]: And Casey, I'll give you no advice at all.
[SPEAKER_18]: What have we got next?
[SPEAKER_18]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_26]: Hey, y'all.
[SPEAKER_26]: Hey.
[SPEAKER_26]: My name's Ben.
[SPEAKER_26]: He hit him pronouns, loving the new show.
[SPEAKER_26]: That's a call and app.
[SPEAKER_26]: You guys have to know, right?
[SPEAKER_26]: But like the old show, Neo's come.
[SPEAKER_26]: How many people realize it could also be said out loud as Neo's come?
[SPEAKER_17]: 70% of the audience, 70% of the audience.
[SPEAKER_25]: How do you give it up or 80%?
[SPEAKER_13]: We directly address it on the show multiple times.
[SPEAKER_23]: We do.
[SPEAKER_23]: And I will say that when we were deciding on the name for the show, we also knew that this was probably a thing that would get said.
[SPEAKER_23]: So yeah, you're right there.
[SPEAKER_23]: You're right on board with it.
[SPEAKER_25]: And we're the kind of people I think we've were kind of like, yeah, that's pretty funny though.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a comb.
[SPEAKER_13]: We thought it was funny.
[SPEAKER_13]: And we thought it would really be a little joke for the people who, like, shadow run too much because they would be like,
[SPEAKER_13]: stop talking about com start talking about the matrix and that was just our little way of saying that in the future people are going to be way more obsessed with com than the matrix and I think we've been proven factually correct.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_02]: You got me with that fake leap.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, the other gang of Vivian pronouns she heard and they then.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah,
[SPEAKER_02]: The old, the again, the work store, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Just wanted to graduate here on your fantastic show, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Love hearing about it, live hearing all the funny shapes and jabs, the bits and the bugs and the fun stuff and the fantastic editing and wonderful, you know,
[SPEAKER_02]: to get character descriptions because I'm kind of planning on doing some fan art.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wait!
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, come on!
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just really wanted to.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, leave a voice mail and be like, hey, yeah, you know, yeah, you're looking kick-a.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, awesome.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've grown up in the Pacific Northwest all my life.
[SPEAKER_02]: I grew up all around it, like, for me, St. Washington, the Olympic Peninsula, I live in Portland, Oregon right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me tell you, if there's one thing that's weirdly accurate,
[SPEAKER_02]: But I don't think we've intended about the show with everyone smokes.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know why that's a thing, but here, but it is.
[SPEAKER_02]: So congratulations on that.
[SPEAKER_16]: That's awesome.
[SPEAKER_02]: Weird thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, uh, I don't know how to end it this, so.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Good.
[SPEAKER_13]: Good.
[SPEAKER_13]: So why do you have to go?
[SPEAKER_13]: I think that he knows the light.
[SPEAKER_25]: I mean, how could you not smoke an Iranian environment like that?
[SPEAKER_25]: There's nothing.
[SPEAKER_13]: Also, losing like legal legal weed was like a Washington was early for that.
[SPEAKER_13]: I know that because.
[SPEAKER_25]: Well, I won't say why I know that because I know it because I've just heard about it or the dotted from a guy from a sailor Me, yeah, I met at the docks Not to get too far away from that Vivian Called us with a follow up immediately after or six minutes after.
[SPEAKER_15]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_23]: I really appreciate that.
[SPEAKER_23]: That would be my, that would be me on the show.

[SPEAKER_23]: I used to smoke a long ago.
