00:00:01.300 --> 00:00:03.720

This week on the show, Tog takes a

00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:07.000

class at a clown school for dogs and

00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:10.640

learns something new about themselves by throwing caution

00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:11.500

to the wind.

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:22.100

You're with Tog Chesterfield here on 101.7

00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:23.260

FM The Grack.

00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:25.660

I'm trying to pick up the pieces and

00:00:25.660 --> 00:00:28.180

fix up my life after I hit rock

00:00:28.180 --> 00:00:31.140

bottom and I'm taking you along as I

00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:34.840

try new things and attempt to embrace life.

00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:38.880

I'm Fuck Your Life with Tog Chesterfield.

00:00:40.980 --> 00:00:43.380

So welcome to the show.

00:00:44.020 --> 00:00:47.980

Right now it's 5.01 PM and I'll

00:00:47.980 --> 00:00:50.840

be with you here for your commute or

00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:54.080

while you prepare your dinner or while you

00:00:54.080 --> 00:00:56.540

sit in your backyard looking up to the

00:00:56.540 --> 00:01:00.200

sky wondering how did we get here, you

00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:04.000

know, a little bit of dread, anyways.

00:01:04.459 --> 00:01:07.220

So those of you following along with my

00:01:07.220 --> 00:01:09.460

attempts to get off a rock bottom after

00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:12.960

I lost my job at Apocalypse.cloud, well,

00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:15.780

y'all have heard about a few different

00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:20.340

forays of mine into, well, artisanal food products

00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:23.920

and none of them turned out too well

00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:24.660

in the end.

00:01:25.020 --> 00:01:29.180

So I decided to try something different.

00:01:29.620 --> 00:01:30.080

Clowning.

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:34.660

Now, you might be there saying, clowning, why

00:01:34.660 --> 00:01:35.320

that?

00:01:37.470 --> 00:01:40.530

I saw a classified ad in the Grackleton

00:01:40.530 --> 00:01:41.810

Review newspaper.

00:01:42.390 --> 00:01:45.130

It made me think of my balcony scarecrow,

00:01:45.350 --> 00:01:46.150

Burl Booch.

00:01:46.650 --> 00:01:49.390

That's because Burl really resembles a clown.

00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.670

She has a large button nose and comical

00:01:53.670 --> 00:01:56.490

drawn-on eyes and her head is made

00:01:56.490 --> 00:01:57.910

out of a potato sack.

00:01:58.630 --> 00:02:01.210

It kind of looks like a typical clown

00:02:01.210 --> 00:02:01.790

mask.

00:02:02.070 --> 00:02:04.950

Burl always makes me laugh when I look

00:02:04.950 --> 00:02:08.009

out on the balcony and Burl's just kind

00:02:08.009 --> 00:02:09.009

of slumped there.

00:02:09.350 --> 00:02:10.810

It looks pretty funny.

00:02:11.390 --> 00:02:13.130

Most of my roommates have been a bit

00:02:13.130 --> 00:02:14.690

terrified of Burl Booch.

00:02:14.690 --> 00:02:18.830

If you remember Joe from previous episodes, well,

00:02:18.890 --> 00:02:22.690

Joe, my former roommate, passed out the first

00:02:22.690 --> 00:02:25.350

time that they locked eyes with Burl and

00:02:25.350 --> 00:02:28.190

the sight of that scarecrow, well, it makes

00:02:28.190 --> 00:02:28.950

me giggle.

00:02:29.550 --> 00:02:31.370

And I thought that even if I couldn't

00:02:31.370 --> 00:02:33.170

make a new job for myself out of

00:02:33.170 --> 00:02:35.850

being a clown, well, maybe my clowning would

00:02:35.850 --> 00:02:38.690

make me and my roommates happier and maybe

00:02:38.690 --> 00:02:40.850

it would make my roommates stick around a

00:02:40.850 --> 00:02:43.030

little bit longer if they were happy and

00:02:43.030 --> 00:02:43.410

laughing.

00:02:43.670 --> 00:02:45.650

The roommate that you heard about in the

00:02:45.650 --> 00:02:49.270

last show, Aaron Bandlebrush, Aaron had to leave

00:02:49.270 --> 00:02:51.910

because they felt that the kitchen was haunted.

00:02:52.870 --> 00:02:56.210

But I now have a fifth roommate, Dalton

00:02:56.210 --> 00:02:58.870

Paper, who has moved into my old office

00:02:58.870 --> 00:03:00.350

after I met them at Bulk Bins.

00:03:02.110 --> 00:03:04.070

Anyway, clown school.

00:03:04.590 --> 00:03:07.070

So the Classifieds ad was for a series

00:03:07.070 --> 00:03:10.210

of classes in clowning and I showed up

00:03:10.210 --> 00:03:12.250

at the community center all ready to go.

00:03:12.770 --> 00:03:14.870

But when I showed up, I thought that

00:03:14.870 --> 00:03:16.670

it was a little weird that everyone had

00:03:16.670 --> 00:03:17.650

a dog with them.

00:03:18.390 --> 00:03:19.030

Oh, hi.

00:03:19.150 --> 00:03:19.690

Excuse me.

00:03:19.790 --> 00:03:22.350

Is this where the clowning class is?

00:03:22.790 --> 00:03:24.310

Oh, you ain't got a dog there, bud.

00:03:25.150 --> 00:03:26.110

Oh, no.

00:03:26.250 --> 00:03:28.130

I thought this was a clowning class.

00:03:28.270 --> 00:03:29.930

And I'm here to learn.

00:03:30.270 --> 00:03:32.570

Was I supposed to bring a dog along

00:03:32.570 --> 00:03:34.010

to the clowning class?

00:03:34.450 --> 00:03:35.730

Oh, where's your dog?

00:03:35.950 --> 00:03:36.930

Yeah, no, I don't.

00:03:36.930 --> 00:03:37.970

I don't have one.

00:03:38.130 --> 00:03:39.510

It's just me.

00:03:39.690 --> 00:03:40.790

Do I do?

00:03:40.790 --> 00:03:41.410

I need it.

00:03:41.410 --> 00:03:45.610

This is this is a dog clown class.

00:03:45.850 --> 00:03:47.530

The dogs are going to be learning tricks

00:03:47.530 --> 00:03:48.090

and stuff.

00:03:48.790 --> 00:03:50.130

Oh, I see.

00:03:50.370 --> 00:03:51.010

A clown.

00:03:51.070 --> 00:03:52.850

The dogs are the clowns.

00:03:52.950 --> 00:03:53.330

Oh, what?

00:03:54.470 --> 00:03:57.070

It's actually a dog clowning class.

00:03:57.190 --> 00:03:58.210

Yeah, I heard her.

00:03:58.390 --> 00:03:59.910

So, um, wow.

00:03:59.970 --> 00:04:00.410

What am I?

00:04:00.490 --> 00:04:02.170

I don't know if I don't know if

00:04:02.170 --> 00:04:04.810

I should say like stunts and things are

00:04:04.810 --> 00:04:07.670

going to balance and walk, walk in funny

100

00:04:07.670 --> 00:04:08.690

ways and stuff.

101

00:04:08.690 --> 00:04:10.850

Oh, well, that sounds fun.

102

00:04:10.970 --> 00:04:12.830

I don't know what I don't know.

103

00:04:12.970 --> 00:04:18.250

So I found out that this was a

104

00:04:18.250 --> 00:04:19.769

different kind of clown class.

105

00:04:19.930 --> 00:04:22.030

It was dog tricks where the dogs were

106

00:04:22.030 --> 00:04:22.830

going to be the clown.

107

00:04:23.250 --> 00:04:26.490

I thought about just turning around and hightailing

108

00:04:26.490 --> 00:04:27.170

it out of there.

109

00:04:27.230 --> 00:04:29.390

But the dogs were just so nice.

110

00:04:29.530 --> 00:04:32.270

And well, the the people were so nice,

111

00:04:32.530 --> 00:04:32.630

too.

112

00:04:33.570 --> 00:04:35.930

Everyone circled around me with their dog.

113

00:04:35.930 --> 00:04:38.570

And they were talking to the person without

114

00:04:38.570 --> 00:04:40.430

a dog, like the person that kind of

115

00:04:40.430 --> 00:04:41.550

messed up.

116

00:04:41.990 --> 00:04:44.090

Some of them even offered to share their

117

00:04:44.090 --> 00:04:47.010

dog with me, someone they didn't even know.

118

00:04:47.670 --> 00:04:50.850

And this one dog just kept staring at

119

00:04:50.850 --> 00:04:52.710

me with this big grin on his face.

120

00:04:53.370 --> 00:04:54.270

He liked me.

121

00:04:54.770 --> 00:04:56.830

The dog reminded me of Burl Butch a

122

00:04:56.830 --> 00:04:57.570

little bit, actually.

123

00:04:58.390 --> 00:04:59.770

So I decided to stay.

124

00:05:00.130 --> 00:05:02.710

And I'll tell you more about what happened

125

00:05:02.710 --> 00:05:03.570

after a quick break.

126

00:05:03.570 --> 00:05:06.570

This is Un-Fuck Your Life with Tog

127

00:05:06.570 --> 00:05:07.130

Chesterfield.

128

00:05:08.130 --> 00:05:10.790

Un-Fuck Your Life with Tog Chesterfield.

129

00:05:17.150 --> 00:05:18.310

Back to the show.

130

00:05:19.090 --> 00:05:21.970

So I ended up at clown school, but

131

00:05:21.970 --> 00:05:23.470

one where the dogs were going to be

132

00:05:23.470 --> 00:05:26.070

the clowns, the dogs and their people, they

133

00:05:26.070 --> 00:05:27.390

were learning all special.

134

00:05:27.650 --> 00:05:30.530

Well, it was special dog tricks, the clowning.

135

00:05:30.850 --> 00:05:32.510

They were balancing on a ball.

136

00:05:32.510 --> 00:05:35.170

The dogs are going on a trampoline and

137

00:05:35.170 --> 00:05:38.170

walking through obstacle courses and on their hind

138

00:05:38.170 --> 00:05:40.570

legs and even using a ladder.

139

00:05:41.290 --> 00:05:43.270

Most of the things were for the humans

140

00:05:43.270 --> 00:05:43.850

to learn.

141

00:05:43.970 --> 00:05:46.170

It turned out the humans just sort of

142

00:05:46.170 --> 00:05:48.170

direct the dogs to do these things in

143

00:05:48.170 --> 00:05:48.910

special ways.

144

00:05:49.370 --> 00:05:51.790

But I showed up without a dog.

145

00:05:52.530 --> 00:05:55.870

The other people there, they offered to share

146

00:05:55.870 --> 00:05:57.250

their dog with me.

147

00:05:57.250 --> 00:06:00.530

But I thought, why don't I just do

148

00:06:00.530 --> 00:06:02.090

a bit of the clowning like I went

149

00:06:02.090 --> 00:06:04.290

there to do and work with an imaginary

150

00:06:04.290 --> 00:06:04.810

dog?

151

00:06:11.260 --> 00:06:13.400

At the time, I didn't know why I

152

00:06:13.400 --> 00:06:15.620

immediately thought to do it the hard way.

153

00:06:15.880 --> 00:06:18.340

It would have been way easier and maybe

154

00:06:18.340 --> 00:06:20.140

the normal thing to do if I borrowed

155

00:06:20.140 --> 00:06:24.340

someone's dog like they offered, especially especially that

156

00:06:24.340 --> 00:06:25.560

dog that was staring at me.

157

00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:26.960

You know, the one that looked like my

158

00:06:26.960 --> 00:06:30.920

freaky scarecrow Burl Butch, you know, the Burl

159

00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.140

who made Jo roost poop her pants when

160

00:06:33.140 --> 00:06:33.800

she fainted.

161

00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:37.540

Oh, I forgot this is radio.

162

00:06:37.900 --> 00:06:39.620

I guess I guess Jo won't be listening

163

00:06:39.620 --> 00:06:41.760

to this because she's on her way on

164

00:06:41.760 --> 00:06:44.020

a cross country adventure with her dog, James.

165

00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:47.800

Anyways, that would have been the easy thing

166

00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:48.140

to do.

167

00:06:48.220 --> 00:06:49.500

Just borrow somebody's dog.

168

00:06:49.580 --> 00:06:51.160

But I didn't have my own dog and

169

00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:53.720

I was there to learn clowning.

170

00:06:53.980 --> 00:06:55.160

Oh, so you just want to do.

171

00:06:55.440 --> 00:06:57.840

Wait, you want to you want you want

172

00:06:57.840 --> 00:06:58.380

to be the dog?

173

00:06:58.380 --> 00:07:00.400

Yeah, I was thinking maybe I would be

174

00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:03.000

the dog because I came here to to

175

00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.460

clown and I actually I don't have a

176

00:07:05.460 --> 00:07:06.540

dog of my own.

177

00:07:06.700 --> 00:07:07.460

I'm afraid.

178

00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:09.480

I mean, I can just loan you my

179

00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:10.740

dog if you want.

180

00:07:10.940 --> 00:07:12.860

I mean, my dog kind of knows how

181

00:07:12.860 --> 00:07:14.080

to do this stuff already.

182

00:07:14.200 --> 00:07:14.800

It'd be pretty easy.

183

00:07:14.880 --> 00:07:17.040

Well, I just actually I just want to

184

00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.940

challenge myself and I want to learn how

185

00:07:19.940 --> 00:07:22.240

to clown and entertain and stuff.

186

00:07:22.520 --> 00:07:23.480

It would be fun.

187

00:07:23.780 --> 00:07:24.340

Oh, I gotcha.

188

00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:25.220

I gotcha.

189

00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:27.260

So you do you do want to be

190

00:07:27.260 --> 00:07:27.560

the dog?

191

00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:27.920

I do.

192

00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:30.980

Well, I I want to be a clown.

193

00:07:31.660 --> 00:07:33.660

I guess if I have to be a

194

00:07:33.660 --> 00:07:36.420

dog here to be a clown, I I

195

00:07:36.420 --> 00:07:38.700

guess I could I could try.

196

00:07:39.280 --> 00:07:41.660

I mean, I don't know.

197

00:07:41.760 --> 00:07:42.940

I mean, this is Grackleton.

198

00:07:43.380 --> 00:07:45.400

Yeah, I've lived here long enough.

199

00:07:45.700 --> 00:07:45.800

Yeah.

200

00:07:46.380 --> 00:07:49.080

Well, I mean, yes.

201

00:07:49.200 --> 00:07:50.660

How can it hurt if you want to

202

00:07:50.660 --> 00:07:51.680

if you want to do it?

203

00:07:51.740 --> 00:07:52.500

I think I do.

204

00:07:52.500 --> 00:07:57.780

Oh, OK, so that's what I did.

205

00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.700

I started to do the exercises without a

206

00:08:00.700 --> 00:08:02.700

dog and I tried to make it work

207

00:08:02.700 --> 00:08:03.540

in my own way.

208

00:08:03.740 --> 00:08:07.200

I tried to make it entertaining and I

209

00:08:07.200 --> 00:08:11.120

did what the teacher said, but improvised to

210

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:12.900

make it my own a little bit, I

211

00:08:12.900 --> 00:08:13.180

guess.

212

00:08:13.660 --> 00:08:15.940

I just wanted to do it the hard

213

00:08:15.940 --> 00:08:19.300

way and challenge myself and push myself a

214

00:08:19.300 --> 00:08:21.920

little harder than I have been lately to

215

00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.380

work with what I had, which was just

216

00:08:24.380 --> 00:08:24.760

me.

217

00:08:25.260 --> 00:08:28.040

I'd been working on my creativity to get

218

00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:28.960

out of this depression.

219

00:08:29.300 --> 00:08:32.500

So something in me told me to try

220

00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:32.940

this.

221

00:08:33.760 --> 00:08:35.179

And guess what?

222

00:08:35.260 --> 00:08:36.960

It worked, you guys.

223

00:08:37.640 --> 00:08:40.100

All the dog people cheered me on eventually,

224

00:08:40.340 --> 00:08:42.799

just like they cheered on each other's dogs

225

00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:44.380

and it felt great.

226

00:08:44.940 --> 00:08:47.640

But eventually I started to make them laugh,

227

00:08:47.740 --> 00:08:47.960

too.

228

00:08:48.500 --> 00:08:50.900

Once I figured out how to surprise them

229

00:08:50.900 --> 00:08:54.560

in new ways, like fake tripping over things,

230

00:08:54.920 --> 00:08:57.680

I kind of juggled a few training toys,

231

00:08:57.780 --> 00:08:58.720

but really badly.

232

00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.580

Even the instructor, who didn't seem too enthusiastic

233

00:09:02.580 --> 00:09:05.480

when I first asked them, I thought maybe

234

00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:08.300

that she knew about the potato incident, actually.

235

00:09:08.940 --> 00:09:10.700

But she came around after I got a

236

00:09:10.700 --> 00:09:12.680

little bit better as a human clown of

237

00:09:12.680 --> 00:09:15.800

some sort and wasn't disruptive of her teaching

238

00:09:15.800 --> 00:09:16.180

parts.

239

00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:18.360

So when it was my turn to go

240

00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.060

in the exercises, I mimed my imaginary dog

241

00:09:22.060 --> 00:09:24.340

and I became the dog when I could.

242

00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:25.980

And it wasn't too silly, but it was

243

00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:26.880

also kind of silly.

244

00:09:27.160 --> 00:09:28.800

So I got to be the clown, too,

245

00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:30.040

and I got to practice that.

246

00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.340

And I made people laugh, which is the

247

00:09:33.340 --> 00:09:35.760

best feeling in the world, I found out.

248

00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:37.720

And maybe if I adopt a dog someday,

249

00:09:37.780 --> 00:09:39.920

I'll know how to teach that dog these

250

00:09:39.920 --> 00:09:40.720

tricks at least.

251

00:09:41.620 --> 00:09:44.760

And while it sounds like doing what I

252

00:09:44.760 --> 00:09:47.100

did might be kind of irritating or selfish,

253

00:09:47.400 --> 00:09:50.600

maybe this was a dog clown class in

254

00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:51.040

Grackleton.

255

00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:54.820

And it was a very Grackleton thing to

256

00:09:54.820 --> 00:09:57.300

do, as most of you listening probably understand

257

00:09:57.300 --> 00:09:58.480

all too well.

258

00:09:59.160 --> 00:10:01.740

Oh, speaking of Grackleton, it's time for our

259

00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:02.000

weather.

260

00:10:11.650 --> 00:10:14.330

Tonight's weather for your drive at five with

261

00:10:14.330 --> 00:10:16.430

Um, Fuck Your Life is brought to you

262

00:10:16.430 --> 00:10:19.970

by Lou's Shop's Old Town Candy Shop, where

263

00:10:19.970 --> 00:10:22.210

you might love your teeth, but our candy

264

00:10:22.210 --> 00:10:24.850

is better than a full set of teeth.

265

00:10:25.430 --> 00:10:27.070

Get ready for the weather.

266

00:10:27.770 --> 00:10:31.130

Tonight, Grackleton is expecting a lot more rain

267

00:10:31.130 --> 00:10:33.330

that will cause the Grack Flats to flood.

268

00:10:34.170 --> 00:10:36.110

If you're headed to the flats, make sure

269

00:10:36.110 --> 00:10:37.890

to take your boots or a kayak.

270

00:10:38.270 --> 00:10:40.430

You just learn all about the weather.

271

00:10:40.950 --> 00:10:42.690

And that's it for the weather on your

272

00:10:42.690 --> 00:10:44.870

drive at five from Lou's Shop's Old Town

273

00:10:44.870 --> 00:10:45.550

Candy Shop.

274

00:10:46.030 --> 00:10:48.830

Tell Lou you heard this on the drive

275

00:10:48.830 --> 00:10:50.450

at five with Um, Fuck Your Life with

276

00:10:50.450 --> 00:10:54.610

Tog Chesterfield for 10% off the candy

277

00:10:54.610 --> 00:10:55.190

teeth.

278

00:11:00.940 --> 00:11:03.580

So I'm going to my fourth dog clown

279

00:11:03.580 --> 00:11:06.820

class as a human clown tomorrow night.

280

00:11:07.180 --> 00:11:10.100

I'm pretty surprised at myself for staying in

281

00:11:10.100 --> 00:11:12.880

the class and not choosing to borrow a

282

00:11:12.880 --> 00:11:13.160

dog.

283

00:11:13.560 --> 00:11:16.320

I think old Tog would have borrowed the

284

00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:16.600

dog.

285

00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.280

But this time instead, I listened to some

286

00:11:20.280 --> 00:11:23.840

new instinct or some gut feeling to just

287

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:25.780

try a new thing.

288

00:11:26.400 --> 00:11:29.360

And I think that's what's helping me the

289

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:32.080

most so far, at least on my journey

290

00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:35.340

out of depression, off of rock bottom.

291

00:11:35.780 --> 00:11:39.500

I somehow didn't worry about being the one

292

00:11:39.500 --> 00:11:42.420

person in the class who was different.

293

00:11:42.880 --> 00:11:46.580

I didn't worry about standing out, which I

294

00:11:46.580 --> 00:11:48.220

always kind of hated.

295

00:11:48.540 --> 00:11:51.520

But deep down, maybe I wanted to try

296

00:11:51.520 --> 00:11:52.960

standing out a little bit.

297

00:11:53.780 --> 00:11:54.260

Why?

298

00:11:54.380 --> 00:11:56.360

I wanted to do the clowning in the

299

00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:57.540

first place, I think.

300

00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.560

And I could have chosen the easy way

301

00:12:01.560 --> 00:12:03.880

out and I would have blended in a

302

00:12:03.880 --> 00:12:04.420

lot more.

303

00:12:04.540 --> 00:12:06.840

But this time I didn't do that.

304

00:12:07.260 --> 00:12:08.520

And it worked.

305

00:12:09.020 --> 00:12:10.380

I wasn't disruptive.

306

00:12:10.380 --> 00:12:13.580

I didn't get in anyone's way or on

307

00:12:13.580 --> 00:12:14.700

anyone's nerves.

308

00:12:15.100 --> 00:12:17.640

And I think I made things kind of

309

00:12:17.640 --> 00:12:20.340

fun or at least different, I think.

310

00:12:21.260 --> 00:12:23.320

Two of the other students in the class,

311

00:12:23.680 --> 00:12:27.040

well, the humans, not the dogs, they called

312

00:12:27.040 --> 00:12:27.340

me.

313

00:12:28.260 --> 00:12:29.720

Hello, this is Tog.

314

00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:30.160

Hey.

315

00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:35.040

Oh, yeah, Susan from the class.

316

00:12:35.340 --> 00:12:39.550

Oh, oh, the clown class.

317

00:12:39.550 --> 00:12:47.980

Yeah, I was going to send you an

318

00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:48.360

email.

319

00:12:48.800 --> 00:12:50.900

Oh, a call for an email.

320

00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:51.280

OK.

321

00:12:51.500 --> 00:12:52.920

Yeah, I just wanted to call you.

322

00:12:54.900 --> 00:12:55.500

That's Pepper.

323

00:12:55.860 --> 00:12:56.480

Oh, yeah.

324

00:12:56.700 --> 00:12:58.540

I was just going to call you before

325

00:12:58.540 --> 00:13:01.320

I sent the email because I didn't want

326

00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.260

you to be surprised when you got it.

327

00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:06.860

Oh, surprised by receiving the email.

328

00:13:07.040 --> 00:13:09.900

Yeah, some people, they get really surprised when

329

00:13:09.900 --> 00:13:12.220

when I send them email.

330

00:13:12.700 --> 00:13:14.380

So I just wanted to let you know

331

00:13:14.380 --> 00:13:15.520

that I was going to send you.

332

00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:17.280

Oh, OK.

333

00:13:17.580 --> 00:13:18.800

That's nice, I guess.

334

00:13:18.940 --> 00:13:19.400

Thank you.

335

00:13:19.800 --> 00:13:22.600

Oh, so I wanted to I saw some

336

00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:25.580

articles and I wanted you to see the

337

00:13:25.580 --> 00:13:28.360

articles because they're about clowning.

338

00:13:28.460 --> 00:13:31.240

And I thought of you because you're you're

339

00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:32.860

doing the clowning, not the dogs.

340

00:13:32.940 --> 00:13:33.340

Yeah.

341

00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:38.080

And I thought maybe these articles would give

342

00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:41.760

you some ideas about something to try at

343

00:13:41.760 --> 00:13:42.820

tomorrow's class.

344

00:13:42.820 --> 00:13:44.120

Oh, wow.

345

00:13:44.180 --> 00:13:46.280

Oh, thank you, Susan, for thinking of me.

346

00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:47.180

Yeah.

347

00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:52.680

The articles, they have like some things to

348

00:13:52.680 --> 00:13:54.980

do with a ladder and there's a ladder

349

00:13:54.980 --> 00:13:58.140

in the corner, the blue one.

350

00:13:59.020 --> 00:13:59.240

Yeah.

351

00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:01.700

So I was going to send you the

352

00:14:01.700 --> 00:14:03.460

email and I just wanted to let you

353

00:14:03.460 --> 00:14:06.620

know that the email will contain two links

354

00:14:06.620 --> 00:14:11.020

to each of the articles about clowning.

355

00:14:11.020 --> 00:14:14.080

OK, I will expect two links.

356

00:14:14.540 --> 00:14:14.680

Yeah.

357

00:14:15.220 --> 00:14:15.700

Great.

358

00:14:15.900 --> 00:14:18.460

So so I'm going to get off the

359

00:14:18.460 --> 00:14:20.680

phone and I'm going to write the email.

360

00:14:20.880 --> 00:14:24.560

About probably about seven minutes.

361

00:14:25.760 --> 00:14:27.580

Any any time is OK.

362

00:14:27.880 --> 00:14:28.120

He does.

363

00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:29.460

Any time is fine.

364

00:14:29.520 --> 00:14:31.680

OK, yeah, I'll just I'll just do it

365

00:14:31.680 --> 00:14:34.420

and I'll send it to you in probably

366

00:14:34.420 --> 00:14:35.800

about twelve and a half.

367

00:14:37.160 --> 00:14:39.540

OK, I have to go find your letter.

368

00:14:39.540 --> 00:14:40.640

Oh, right.

369

00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:41.220

Yeah.

370

00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:42.500

Any time is fine.

371

00:14:44.660 --> 00:14:45.180

Well, yeah.

372

00:14:45.180 --> 00:14:45.700

Hey there, bud.

373

00:14:46.060 --> 00:14:46.420

Hey.

374

00:14:46.800 --> 00:14:46.980

Yeah.

375

00:14:47.420 --> 00:14:47.780

Sorry.

376

00:14:47.920 --> 00:14:51.320

This is a Sal from the from the

377

00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:52.940

class with the dogs, you know.

378

00:14:52.980 --> 00:14:53.560

Oh, right.

379

00:14:53.740 --> 00:14:53.920

Yeah.

380

00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:54.420

Yeah.

381

00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:55.020

That class.

382

00:14:55.220 --> 00:14:55.400

Yeah.

383

00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:56.120

Yeah.

384

00:14:56.140 --> 00:14:56.640

I don't know.

385

00:14:56.700 --> 00:14:58.180

Like, I don't know how many classes you're

386

00:14:58.180 --> 00:15:00.160

in there, but I'm just taking the one.

387

00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:01.220

Yeah, me too.

388

00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:01.940

Just the one.

389

00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:02.660

Oh, cool.

390

00:15:02.820 --> 00:15:03.080

Cool.

391

00:15:03.160 --> 00:15:03.340

Yeah.

392

00:15:03.400 --> 00:15:05.160

You know, it's really hard to take more

393

00:15:05.160 --> 00:15:06.160

classes than one.

394

00:15:06.760 --> 00:15:08.760

Anyway, you know what, you know, there, but

395

00:15:08.760 --> 00:15:10.740

I just I before I forget.

396

00:15:11.420 --> 00:15:14.380

Yeah, I just by the way, it's really

397

00:15:14.380 --> 00:15:16.380

nice that you that you pick up the

398

00:15:16.380 --> 00:15:16.600

phone.

399

00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:18.240

Not everybody picks up the phone these days.

400

00:15:18.620 --> 00:15:19.580

Oh, yeah.

401

00:15:19.620 --> 00:15:21.780

You know, it's it's not so common anyways.

402

00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:23.400

I just wanted to say there.

403

00:15:23.520 --> 00:15:27.100

But look, yeah, look, I'm not going to

404

00:15:27.100 --> 00:15:27.840

beat around the bush.

405

00:15:27.940 --> 00:15:31.060

I was looking at the community center bulletin

406

00:15:31.060 --> 00:15:34.000

board there and I just saw a thing

407

00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:37.140

there on the bulletin board about how they're

408

00:15:37.140 --> 00:15:38.960

running a clown class.

409

00:15:39.180 --> 00:15:40.140

But it's this one.

410

00:15:41.220 --> 00:15:42.320

Hold your britches there.

411

00:15:42.500 --> 00:15:42.700

But there.

412

00:15:42.860 --> 00:15:44.500

Oh, I'm holding them, Sal.

413

00:15:44.900 --> 00:15:45.800

It's for humans.

414

00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:46.560

What?

415

00:15:47.180 --> 00:15:47.620

What?

416

00:15:48.520 --> 00:15:48.980

A human class?

417

00:15:48.980 --> 00:15:51.180

Yeah, you know, I thought the first person

418

00:15:51.180 --> 00:15:52.340

I thought of was you.

419

00:15:52.500 --> 00:15:53.820

And I was you know what, I'm not

420

00:15:53.820 --> 00:15:54.780

going to beat around the bush there.

421

00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:56.620

But I was wondering if you and I

422

00:15:56.620 --> 00:15:57.720

can maybe take the class together.

423

00:15:57.980 --> 00:16:00.240

You know, I don't want to make any,

424

00:16:00.340 --> 00:16:01.760

you know, assumptions or anything.

425

00:16:02.340 --> 00:16:03.280

Just you know what?

426

00:16:03.300 --> 00:16:05.080

I just thought you and you might want

427

00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:08.140

to try, you know, taking some clowning.

428

00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:12.200

I was thinking you were pretty inspiring in

429

00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:12.680

class there.

430

00:16:12.800 --> 00:16:13.900

But that's not funny.

431

00:16:14.100 --> 00:16:14.640

Nothing funny.

432

00:16:14.860 --> 00:16:15.320

Oh, no.

433

00:16:15.500 --> 00:16:17.680

I just thought that maybe, you know, I

434

00:16:17.680 --> 00:16:19.280

would maybe like to try it, too.

435

00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:20.880

And I thought maybe you would like to

436

00:16:20.880 --> 00:16:21.080

go.

437

00:16:21.300 --> 00:16:23.040

I you know what, Sal, I would love

438

00:16:23.040 --> 00:16:23.360

to go.

439

00:16:23.580 --> 00:16:24.080

Well, that's great.

440

00:16:24.300 --> 00:16:24.760

That's great.

441

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:26.500

That makes me feel real excited.

442

00:16:26.760 --> 00:16:27.880

So I just wanted to let you know

443

00:16:27.880 --> 00:16:29.080

it's filling up fast, you know.

444

00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:30.660

Oh, clowning.

445

00:16:30.740 --> 00:16:31.800

It makes sense, you know?

446

00:16:31.940 --> 00:16:32.860

Yeah, I guess.

447

00:16:32.900 --> 00:16:35.020

OK there, bud, sign up.

448

00:16:35.860 --> 00:16:36.680

I'll send you.

449

00:16:37.040 --> 00:16:38.100

Yeah, that's the other thing.

450

00:16:38.160 --> 00:16:40.100

I want to send you a message.

451

00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.420

I want to give you a call, actually,

452

00:16:42.460 --> 00:16:44.200

before I sent you the message on the

453

00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:44.520

emails.

454

00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:46.120

Oh, is that OK with you there, bud?

455

00:16:46.340 --> 00:16:47.780

Yeah, you can send me an email.

456

00:16:47.780 --> 00:16:49.320

So I'm going to get off this call

457

00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:49.580

here.

458

00:16:49.640 --> 00:16:51.240

I'm going to go find your email and

459

00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:55.760

in about five minutes, probably maybe about seven.

460

00:16:55.980 --> 00:16:57.480

I'm not too sure where the paper is.

461

00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:58.540

Any time is fine.

462

00:16:58.680 --> 00:16:59.680

And after that, I'm going to write you

463

00:16:59.680 --> 00:16:59.780

a letter.

464

00:16:59.780 --> 00:17:00.120

Not any.

465

00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:01.100

Any time is fine.

466

00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:03.640

Maybe these things would have happened anyway, but

467

00:17:03.640 --> 00:17:07.940

embracing the weird, going with whatever instinct kicked

468

00:17:07.940 --> 00:17:10.380

in that day, maybe opened up a few

469

00:17:10.380 --> 00:17:12.079

doors that wouldn't have otherwise.

470

00:17:13.180 --> 00:17:14.680

And- Hello, Tog.

471

00:17:14.760 --> 00:17:15.000

Oh!

472

00:17:15.180 --> 00:17:17.839

This is your roommate, Dalton Paper, from the

473

00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:18.819

room over there.

474

00:17:18.859 --> 00:17:19.400

Oh, I remember.

475

00:17:19.619 --> 00:17:20.040

Of course.

476

00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:23.180

Of course you do remember me.

477

00:17:23.260 --> 00:17:23.540

All right.

478

00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:26.500

I just have a really quick query for

479

00:17:26.500 --> 00:17:26.720

you.

480

00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:27.339

All right.

481

00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:28.800

Go ahead.

482

00:17:29.040 --> 00:17:29.380

Good.

483

00:17:29.580 --> 00:17:29.940

Good.

484

00:17:30.700 --> 00:17:33.260

I, first of all, I wanted to hang

485

00:17:33.260 --> 00:17:35.460

some things on the wall, and I was

486

00:17:35.460 --> 00:17:38.160

just wondering if you'd be okay with a

487

00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:42.080

few nails in the wall, your wallpaper there.

488

00:17:42.220 --> 00:17:44.960

I don't want to ruin it, so I

489

00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:46.920

could use blue tack if you're okay.

490

00:17:47.040 --> 00:17:49.960

That is something that sticks things to the

491

00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:52.100

wall so it looks like a blue bubblegum,

492

00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:53.100

but it's not.

493

00:17:53.300 --> 00:17:55.320

Yeah, either one is fine there, Dalton.

494

00:17:55.320 --> 00:17:56.120

Either one.

495

00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:57.380

All right there, dear.

496

00:17:57.500 --> 00:17:58.260

That's excellent.

497

00:17:58.600 --> 00:17:59.000

All right.

498

00:17:59.060 --> 00:18:01.360

So the other question that I had, Tog,

499

00:18:01.540 --> 00:18:03.560

sorry for bothering you.

500

00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:05.660

You've got a, just, this is a lovely

501

00:18:05.660 --> 00:18:06.600

room as well.

502

00:18:06.660 --> 00:18:07.340

Oh, thank you.

503

00:18:07.420 --> 00:18:09.460

What a nice place that you have.

504

00:18:09.580 --> 00:18:10.340

Oh, thank you.

505

00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:10.840

I like it.

506

00:18:10.860 --> 00:18:15.400

My other query is regarding the refrigerator that

507

00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.700

you have there that's just jam-packed with

508

00:18:18.700 --> 00:18:19.360

potatoes.

509

00:18:19.760 --> 00:18:20.320

Oh, yeah.

510

00:18:21.040 --> 00:18:21.520

Right.

511

00:18:21.700 --> 00:18:22.400

Don't touch them.

512

00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:24.760

I just wanted to know if, I am

513

00:18:24.760 --> 00:18:26.760

just going to come out and say it.

514

00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:29.160

If you would be okay if I just

515

00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.740

had about 33% of the fridge instead

516

00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:35.540

of the 50% that you illustrated on

517

00:18:35.540 --> 00:18:38.700

the handy sign that you have there.

518

00:18:39.040 --> 00:18:40.140

No, that's fine.

519

00:18:40.320 --> 00:18:41.700

You can have it.

520

00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:42.060

Right.

521

00:18:42.060 --> 00:18:42.500

Yeah, 33.

522

00:18:43.040 --> 00:18:45.740

See, I just want the drawers because it

523

00:18:45.740 --> 00:18:50.080

just, it makes my food feel safe, and

524

00:18:50.080 --> 00:18:51.360

that's important to me.

525

00:18:51.360 --> 00:18:51.560

Oh, okay.

526

00:18:51.560 --> 00:18:53.060

All tucked away in a drawer.

527

00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:55.920

And sometimes I forget things on the shelves,

528

00:18:56.140 --> 00:18:57.260

you know, you know how it goes.

529

00:18:57.260 --> 00:18:57.740

I do.

530

00:18:57.860 --> 00:18:58.840

Yeah, I do that too.

531

00:18:58.840 --> 00:18:59.480

Of course.

532

00:18:59.720 --> 00:18:59.920

Yeah.

533

00:19:00.060 --> 00:19:00.400

Of course.

534

00:19:00.520 --> 00:19:00.800

All right.

535

00:19:00.860 --> 00:19:03.720

Well, you've been a dear in this conversation.

536

00:19:04.120 --> 00:19:04.240

Yeah.

537

00:19:04.500 --> 00:19:05.880

I'll just bid you adieu.

538

00:19:05.980 --> 00:19:07.760

Would you like me to close the door

539

00:19:07.760 --> 00:19:08.400

so you can- Oh, sure.

540

00:19:08.580 --> 00:19:09.980

Yeah, that's- Continue on with your little

541

00:19:09.980 --> 00:19:11.200

shenanigans in here.

542

00:19:11.420 --> 00:19:11.820

Yes.

543

00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:12.360

Okay.

544

00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:12.700

Okay.

545

00:19:12.800 --> 00:19:13.200

Thank you.

546

00:19:13.220 --> 00:19:13.560

Thank you, Tog.

547

00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:14.400

What a dear.

548

00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:14.800

Oh.

549

00:19:14.820 --> 00:19:16.280

Dolphin paper, by the way.

550

00:19:16.280 --> 00:19:17.240

Oh, yeah, I remember.

551

00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:17.640

Yeah.

552

00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:18.140

Yeah, I remember.

553

00:19:18.340 --> 00:19:19.080

Of course you do.

554

00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:19.360

Yeah.

555

00:19:20.120 --> 00:19:22.780
