00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:02.960

[MUSIC PLAYING]

00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:14.640

Welcome, everybody.

00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:16.520

You're listening to "Grack Public Access."

00:00:16.520 --> 00:00:20.840

This is on 101.7 FM, the "Grack" in Grackleton,

00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:24.920

although we're a little bit outside of Grackleton this week.

00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:26.680

But first, let me introduce Parker.

00:00:26.680 --> 00:00:29.360

Parker Spoon is here as well, everyone.

00:00:29.360 --> 00:00:31.520

Oh, and I'm Jen DeHaan.

00:00:31.520 --> 00:00:33.240

Hello, Parker.

00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.760

So will the radio waves be able to penetrate the walls

00:00:36.760 --> 00:00:38.520

of the cave or no?

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.720

I don't think they need to, because we're just

00:00:41.720 --> 00:00:44.360

recording on cassette tape before this goes out.

00:00:44.360 --> 00:00:45.280

So luckily--

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:46.440

Oh, well, that's wonderful.

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:47.080

Yeah.

00:00:47.080 --> 00:00:49.880

Yeah, we're just-- I've still got the cassette tape going

here.

00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:54.840

We're rolling, so we're recording whatever we put into

these microphones.

00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.040

Because you didn't have a radio tower on you,

00:00:57.040 --> 00:00:58.480

or attached to you at all.

00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:01.840

So I didn't know how we were broadcasting this.

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:05.080

Do people walk around with radio towers attached to them,

Parker?

00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:06.200

You've seen this before?

00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.160

I've never seen that.

00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:11.120

Have you ever been sitting-- I don't know how it works,

00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:13.080

because whenever I-- so sometimes, you know,

00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:19.800

you'll get like, hi, my name's Bruce Conifer, man on the

street.

00:01:19.800 --> 00:01:23.680

And that's a character that I sometimes do.

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:25.320

Oh, I was going to ask you, because I'm like,

00:01:25.320 --> 00:01:26.760

I've never heard of Bruce Conifer.

00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:27.760

Yeah.

00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:28.760

Yeah.

00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:30.240

You want to hear it?

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:30.740

Sure.

00:01:30.740 --> 00:01:31.720

Yeah, let's hear it.

00:01:31.720 --> 00:01:33.640

OK.

00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.520

Ladies and gentlemen, it's me, Bruce Conifer, man on the

street.

00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:40.200

I'm here to do everything that you need to do.

00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.320

I'll sweep your carpet.

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:45.760

I'll termite your--

00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:47.200

I haven't really practiced it much.

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:47.680

Right.

00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:48.200

It was a whole--

00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.000

It's a whole thing.

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:55.040

Sometimes when I'm at the supermarket or the grocery store,

00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.560

if the cashier's there, that's how I'll talk to them.

00:01:58.560 --> 00:01:59.600

Oh, good.

00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:01.160

Using that cadence and voice.

00:02:01.160 --> 00:02:01.840

Right.

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:02.200

Right.

00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:03.520

I'm sure they love that.

00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:05.960

They're like, oh, good, one of these again.

00:02:05.960 --> 00:02:06.600

Yeah.

00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:07.960

Yeah.

00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:12.000

Well, you be the cashier, and I'll be Bruce Conifer.

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:13.000

OK.

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:13.800

Hello, sir.

00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.040

Is this the stuff that you want to purchase today?

00:02:16.040 --> 00:02:18.040

I'm just going to ring you up.

00:02:18.040 --> 00:02:20.320

Before we start, let me introduce myself.

00:02:20.320 --> 00:02:22.000

And you are being recorded right now.

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:23.600

Bruce Conifer, man on the street.

00:02:23.600 --> 00:02:24.640

I don't want to be recorded.

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:26.040

I'm just trying to do my job.

00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:27.680

I don't get paid enough for this.

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.120

Are you afraid of the microphone, man?

00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:31.600

Are you afraid of the microphone?

00:02:31.600 --> 00:02:33.920

I'm just going to ring in your Kool-Aid.

00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:36.440

You have a duty to the citizens of Grakland.

00:02:36.440 --> 00:02:38.080

And then I'll go like that.

00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.120

But when it's over, I will--

00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:42.960

usually we cry and apologize to each other,

00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:45.320

because we both learned something beautiful

00:02:45.320 --> 00:02:46.520

about each other inside.

00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.360

I think I'd be calling security, most likely.

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:51.200

Well, that has happened.

00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:52.800

All right, so we should say where we are.

00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.280

We are in the haunted mines today.

00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:58.440

Our sponsor today is Ghost Away.

00:02:58.440 --> 00:03:00.960

So Ghost Away, you've probably seen it on some of this show.

00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:02.960

No, no, no, no.

00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:04.280

Just a product, Parker.

00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:04.880

Just a product.

00:03:04.880 --> 00:03:06.440

No.

00:03:06.440 --> 00:03:08.600

We said we weren't going to talk to that.

00:03:08.600 --> 00:03:10.520

We-- OK, Jen.

00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:12.800

We are in the haunted mines, though.

00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.560

Well, you said the haunted part, but haunted can mean

anything.

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.760

It doesn't have to mean by a ghostly apparition.

00:03:20.760 --> 00:03:21.560

Yeah.

00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:22.080

Yeah.

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:22.920

And just so--

00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:23.120

That's true.

00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:24.520

That's true.

00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.440

When we do the product, we have to make sure

00:03:26.440 --> 00:03:29.000

that we know that ghosts aren't real and that everything's

00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.240

going to be OK.

00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.880

But especially that Ghost Away--

00:03:33.880 --> 00:03:36.120

I'll let you do it, but don't mention werewolves.

00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.000

And OK, sorry.

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:40.080

All right.

00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.080

So yeah, we're in the haunted mines today.

00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.320

You've probably heard of the haunted mines.

00:03:45.320 --> 00:03:47.040

We're in Outer Grak.

00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:48.960

Everybody knows where the haunted mines are.

00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:52.440

They're actually where Barty Bundle went missing.

00:03:52.440 --> 00:03:55.560

So hopefully maybe we'll see Barty around here.

00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:57.480

At least we'll keep an eye out.

00:03:57.480 --> 00:03:59.520

Parker, are you doing OK over there?

00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:00.760

No, I'm doing fine.

00:04:00.760 --> 00:04:06.000

I'm just-- the wonderful thing about a mine like this

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.280

is it seems like there might be a bat infestation.

00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:11.360

Yeah.

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.240

Because I guess it's not-- it's perfectly natural, right?

00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.520

And I am sitting here.

00:04:17.520 --> 00:04:20.680

And I have realized now that there is--

00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:22.400

I think it's called guana.

00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:24.320

Yeah, guano, I believe.

00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:25.360

Guana.

00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:26.040

A guana.

00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:27.160

Sure, we can go with guana.

00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:28.680

It almost sounds like a guana.

00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:30.000

Anyway, it's bat poop.

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.400

Yeah, it is.

00:04:31.400 --> 00:04:33.880

But you can grow wonderful things in it.

00:04:33.880 --> 00:04:35.840

And so I'm going to--

00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:39.000

as we're talking here, I'm going to be doing a little bit

00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.400

of a mining of my own.

00:04:41.400 --> 00:04:43.840

I would recommend against that, Parker.

00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:50.200

You probably don't want to go over there into that pile at

all.

00:04:50.200 --> 00:04:52.200

Naughty Parker.

00:04:52.200 --> 00:04:53.200

Yeah, yeah.

00:04:53.200 --> 00:04:57.280

Well, as long as you don't touch me or anything on this table,

00:04:57.280 --> 00:04:59.160

don't touch the equipment.

00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:00.880

OK, a little bit.

00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:03.200

Now I have-- so I--

00:05:03.200 --> 00:05:07.040

you ever do that thing where you can use the inside of your

00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:08.000

pockets to cut it?

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:09.920

Because my pockets are so big.

00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:13.400

So I use the other side of my pockets to scoop,

00:05:13.400 --> 00:05:13.960

kind of?

00:05:13.960 --> 00:05:14.760

Yeah.

00:05:14.760 --> 00:05:16.200

And so I have--

00:05:16.200 --> 00:05:19.240

my pockets are now half full of bat guana.

00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.520

What are you going to grow in that, Parker?

00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:23.000

Guana.

00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:27.200

Marigolds and various wonderful flowers.

00:05:27.200 --> 00:05:35.440

And I plan on planting my world garden all across

Crackleton.

00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:38.560

I will gather up enough guana to make it

00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.880

into a wonderful world of flowers and sprites

00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:44.440

and other kinds of magic.

00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:46.320

Well, you're probably going to spend a lot of time

00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:50.400

in these haunted mines then to collect enough bat poop in

order

00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:53.480

to do that amount of gardening.

00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:54.360

It's OK.

00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:55.520

I don't mind.

00:05:55.520 --> 00:05:57.120

As long as you're here, I don't mind.

00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.200

Well, maybe you'll be able to solve some of the mysteries

00:05:59.200 --> 00:06:00.720

about this place.

00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.240

Do you want to get on to the news?

00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:04.040

Oh, I'd love that.

00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:04.720

Yeah, let's do it.

00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:08.560

[MUSIC PLAYING]

00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:09.240

Because that--

00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:13.080

our first news story is, Crackleton's annual Corn Cake

00:06:13.080 --> 00:06:16.720

Bake Off Festivals delayed due to the corn bean,

00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.400

and I quote, "not quite ready."

00:06:19.400 --> 00:06:20.240

Not quite ready.

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.600

All right, so Corn Cake Bake Off is getting shifted.

00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.880

That's going to make a lot of people really angry.

00:06:25.880 --> 00:06:26.380

Jeez.

00:06:26.380 --> 00:06:27.400

Do I say something about that?

00:06:27.400 --> 00:06:28.360

You can absolutely.

00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.480

You're the one that makes the great corn cakes.

00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.680

Everyone knows about your corn cakes.

00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.560

You've mocked them mercilessly in the past.

00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:37.840

They came in second to last.

00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:39.800

So I mean, that's not that great.

00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.040

OK, well, you just said they were great.

00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:43.320

I did say they were great.

00:06:43.320 --> 00:06:44.200

I was trying to prop you up.

00:06:44.200 --> 00:06:46.560

You said that, and you weren't trying to prop me up.

00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:48.640

Anyway, it doesn't matter.

00:06:48.640 --> 00:06:52.600

We know your cruelty is infamous in these parts.

00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:53.360

That is true.

00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:54.680

Yeah, I have a reputation.

00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.880

But yeah, and that's OK, because everybody

00:06:57.880 --> 00:06:58.800

has their own thing.

00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.840

I'm known for my dancing and several other things.

00:07:02.840 --> 00:07:06.080

But anyway, I'm very upset about the Corn Cake Bake Off,

00:07:06.080 --> 00:07:07.760

but I'm happy it was delayed because that

00:07:07.760 --> 00:07:10.680

way I can go because I wouldn't have been able to make it

before.

00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:11.480

That is true.

00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:13.040

Yeah, so at least you can go.

00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:14.640

Yeah, everybody else can be angry.

00:07:14.640 --> 00:07:18.200

Hopefully no one will start making stories up about Parker

00:07:18.200 --> 00:07:20.200

being the reason it's delayed just so--

00:07:20.200 --> 00:07:20.840

Not me.

00:07:20.840 --> 00:07:22.920

--you can go, not Parker.

00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:26.160

All right, our second story here, the Grac legion bingo

night

00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.920

controversy was B7 actually called twice.

00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.560

I don't really know why that's such a big deal around

00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:39.400

Gragilton, honestly, but Gragilton takes bingo pretty

seriously.

00:07:39.400 --> 00:07:40.480

Very seriously.

00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:41.160

Yeah.

00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:41.960

Yeah.

00:07:41.960 --> 00:07:42.480

Yeah.

00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.320

I have no opinion on that, and I hope that everybody

00:07:45.320 --> 00:07:51.080

who has been hurt by it starts the healing as soon as they can.

00:07:51.080 --> 00:07:53.640

Yeah, and I just heard there's a lot of punches being thrown.

00:07:53.640 --> 00:07:54.480

Oh, my.

00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.360

And our last story is Barty Bundle is still

00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.240

missing last scene at the Haunted Mines.

00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:04.200

And we actually have a dog with us today here

00:08:04.200 --> 00:08:05.920

called Cruneck.

00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.120

So just in case Barty shows up, we got Search Dog.

00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.160

The Search Dog will know that it's Barty.

00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.480

I mean, I know what Barty looks like, so.

00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:18.840

Yeah, it's-- well, having a missing person is bad enough.

00:08:18.840 --> 00:08:22.680

And then if they're missing in a mine, it's worse.

00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:24.960

And if they're missing in a haunted mine,

00:08:24.960 --> 00:08:30.000

it starts bringing in the world of the supernatural.

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:35.280

And I can name them werewolves and sprites and gnomes

00:08:35.280 --> 00:08:42.640

and hobbits and astral entities and demons and wizards

00:08:42.640 --> 00:08:46.720

and mummies and Frankensteins monsters

00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:48.520

and various types of worms.

00:08:48.520 --> 00:08:50.320

Various types of worms?

00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.320

The pill bugs.

00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.640

Yeah, but like when worms die, they come back.

00:08:55.640 --> 00:08:57.160

I absolutely did not know that.

00:08:57.160 --> 00:08:58.200

No.

00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.160

That sounds like you're reading like a children's book

00:09:01.160 --> 00:09:01.960

or something.

00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:06.040

Yeah, that's what-- I got the idea from a children's book.

00:09:06.040 --> 00:09:08.280

But then it's sometimes an idea becomes true.

00:09:08.280 --> 00:09:11.680

Usually not the pure fiction entertainment stuff.

00:09:11.680 --> 00:09:15.680

Well, you have your set of beliefs and I have mine.

00:09:15.680 --> 00:09:18.640

And that's why this is such a wonderful country,

00:09:18.640 --> 00:09:22.200

because we can all believe what we want.

00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.560

That is probably the source of a lot of problems

00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:26.080

in this country.

00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:29.440

But with science and everything like that.

00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.040

[LAUGHS]

00:09:32.040 --> 00:09:33.160

Oh, I know.

00:09:33.160 --> 00:09:34.800

I am a big fan of science.

00:09:34.800 --> 00:09:36.640

I love scientists.

00:09:36.640 --> 00:09:43.200

And everybody from the beautiful scientists

00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:51.040

like Isaac Newton, who was apparently a very eccentric man

00:09:51.040 --> 00:09:58.920

to the wonderful national treasure of Poland, Marie Curie,

00:09:58.920 --> 00:10:02.600

who was a wonderful, wonderful lady,

00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:10.120

to modern day scientists like Julia Child and other

wonderful

00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:11.200

people like that.

00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:14.280

Well, hopefully Barty hasn't got mixed up

00:10:14.280 --> 00:10:18.360

with anything supernatural or whatever.

00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:20.040

Do you think that Barty's even still here?

00:10:20.040 --> 00:10:22.040

I don't think Barty's around the haunted mines.

00:10:22.040 --> 00:10:23.880

I mean, it's been a while.

00:10:23.880 --> 00:10:27.040

Barty just went missing while other people

00:10:27.040 --> 00:10:30.200

were walking through here.

00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.000

I'm not convinced Barty's still around here anyways.

00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:34.560

Crewnecks just sleeping.

00:10:34.560 --> 00:10:35.280

So--

00:10:35.280 --> 00:10:39.280

I sound wonderfully sleeping being off the dream land.

00:10:39.280 --> 00:10:41.280

Well, surprising for a Belgian malinois.

00:10:41.280 --> 00:10:43.960

Like, I don't know if anybody else knows about these

Belgian,

00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:45.600

but they're like alligator dogs.

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.920

They're snappy as hell.

00:10:47.920 --> 00:10:49.840

Several times, I've--

00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:54.280

on the way into the mine, you might notice that my--

00:10:54.280 --> 00:10:59.360

I've tied a tourniquet to my lower leg.

00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.800

And that's as a result of the snappiness.

00:11:02.800 --> 00:11:04.080

And the fact that I--

00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:05.320

Oh, well, that would do it.

00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:08.000

I mean, these dogs are--

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.760

they should really not even be classified as dogs,

00:11:10.760 --> 00:11:11.840

a Belgian malinois.

00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:13.680

I mean, they're good at what they do,

00:11:13.680 --> 00:11:16.040

but they also do a lot of stuff that they shouldn't do.

00:11:16.040 --> 00:11:17.480

And that's when we get into trouble.

00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:19.200

Like, eating liverwurst socks.

00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:22.240

Like, yeah, someone's showing up with liverwurst socks.

00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:23.920

And there wasn't--

00:11:23.920 --> 00:11:26.440

so before this happened, I was at the deli.

00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:31.160

And I had a little liverwurst accident on my hands.

00:11:31.160 --> 00:11:32.680

And so I wiped it on my socks.

00:11:32.680 --> 00:11:33.360

That's how--

00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.280

And so that's one time.

00:11:35.280 --> 00:11:37.520

And--

00:11:37.520 --> 00:11:39.360

Well, yeah, I mean, the socks are the part

00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:40.320

that no one looks at.

00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:41.320

So you just wipe it on the socks.

00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:42.600

Oh, if you don't have a napkin.

00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:44.480

I was just going to say, you should go find a napkin

00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:45.000

or something.

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:45.240

Yeah.

00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:45.800

OK.

00:11:45.800 --> 00:11:46.360

Yeah.

00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:47.360

Anyway, I'm OK.

00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:48.680

I'm just bleeding.

00:11:48.680 --> 00:11:51.480

I mean, I can see it kind of going through your tourniquet

00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:51.880

there.

00:11:51.880 --> 00:11:55.000

Trigger warning if anybody is upset with blood.

00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:55.920

Well, I guess--

00:11:55.920 --> 00:12:00.040

Yeah, I guess people could be scared by the mention of blood.

00:12:00.040 --> 00:12:01.560

At least this isn't a video show.

00:12:01.560 --> 00:12:02.840

So they aren't going to see it.

00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:04.400

I've got to see it, though.

00:12:04.400 --> 00:12:07.640

And that is pretty uncomfortable for me right now.

00:12:07.640 --> 00:12:08.320

Oh my goodness.

00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:09.880

Look at the-- do you see it?

00:12:09.880 --> 00:12:11.920

The floor over there?

00:12:11.920 --> 00:12:13.160

The bat poo.

00:12:13.160 --> 00:12:13.960

Yeah, I see that.

00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:15.080

The bat little--

00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:16.000

Yeah.

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.040

No, look on the pile of the bat poo.

00:12:18.040 --> 00:12:19.400

It's a little tiny bat.

00:12:19.400 --> 00:12:20.720

Oh, jeez.

00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.480

Yeah, he's walking over.

00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:23.400

I don't want that.

00:12:23.400 --> 00:12:25.800

I don't like bats.

00:12:25.800 --> 00:12:27.600

I'm not a fan of bats.

00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:29.280

Don't say anything.

00:12:29.280 --> 00:12:30.880

OK, by the use of it on your side,

00:12:30.880 --> 00:12:31.520

I'm going to invite him over.

00:12:31.520 --> 00:12:32.320

No, Parker, please don't.

00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:32.800

Please don't.

00:12:32.800 --> 00:12:33.480

Like, yeah.

00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:34.480

You know how many--

00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:35.720

There's just--

00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:40.560

This whole place is a source of discomfort.

00:12:40.560 --> 00:12:45.400

He is-- I'm going to paint a little seascape for the end

00:12:45.400 --> 00:12:48.840

of the user at home.

00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.520

The bat is, as you can see, walking onto my new balance.

00:12:52.520 --> 00:12:56.080

Sneaker, the wonderful new balance.

00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.040

And he is sitting down on the--

00:12:58.040 --> 00:13:00.000

They call it the tongue of your sneaker.

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:01.080

Stay over--

00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:01.920

And he's lapping--

00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:02.720

And he's lapping--

00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:04.480

Parker.

00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:07.160

He's lapping the tourniquet, the blood on the tourniquet.

00:13:07.160 --> 00:13:08.360

This is just--

00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:09.520

It's OK.

00:13:09.520 --> 00:13:11.960

No, it's wonderful.

00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.720

It reminds me of somebody-- you ever

00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:19.600

see that thing in the desert where they see a mirage

00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:21.040

and they start--

00:13:21.040 --> 00:13:24.320

They go over there and they start lapping up the mirage?

00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:25.400

This is my little friend.

00:13:25.400 --> 00:13:26.960

Yeah, but this is also not a mirage.

00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:29.440

This is actually happening.

00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:33.360

Have you lost so much blood that you're like seeing things,

00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:34.120

Parker?

00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:37.000

Is there not a bat lapping up the blood from my liver?

00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:37.480

Worst way?

00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:38.880

No, there is definitely a bat.

00:13:38.880 --> 00:13:39.640

All of this--

00:13:39.640 --> 00:13:39.840

OK.

00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:40.840

All of this is real.

00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:42.680

I'm just not sure that you're still

00:13:42.680 --> 00:13:48.200

with us up here in the whole little nog and melon thing here.

00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:52.240

Listen, if I can help a little bat live--

00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.120

and I'm going to bleed regardless because of the Malamook,

00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:57.440

or whatever you call them--

00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:58.600

Yeah.

00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.160

--then I will let the bat live.

00:14:01.160 --> 00:14:02.800

You know what, Parker?

00:14:02.800 --> 00:14:07.240

Let's not forget to take you by for just like a preemptive

rabies

00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:09.480

shot after we're done recording here today.

00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:14.000

I think we just definitely need to remember to do that.

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:16.160

Let's go to an ad.

00:14:16.160 --> 00:14:20.360

We have to do an ad right now, but we'll be back in a second.

00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:21.080

Don't go away.

00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:21.720

Goodbye.

00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:22.200

Bye.

00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:22.700

Bye.

00:14:22.700 --> 00:14:24.560

[MUSIC PLAYING]

00:14:24.560 --> 00:14:28.480

RAC Public Access.

00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:30.640

RAC Public Access.

00:14:30.640 --> 00:14:33.000

All right, and we're back, and you are still

00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.160

listening to 101.7 FM.

00:14:35.160 --> 00:14:38.880

The GRAC, you're here with Jen and Parker.

00:14:38.880 --> 00:14:40.440

Parker, how are you doing there?

00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:42.840

You know, I've been doing OK.

00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:48.600

I feel, I'm going to say, on a scale of like one to four

00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.360

of lightheadedness, probably like a two right in the

middle.

00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:53.360

Yeah, right in the middle.

00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:53.760

OK.

00:14:53.760 --> 00:14:56.120

And that's OK.

00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:01.960

As you can see, Tony the bat has brought several of his

friends.

00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:04.800

And they are just--

00:15:04.800 --> 00:15:06.640

they love my shoe.

00:15:06.640 --> 00:15:11.040

And they seem to be--

00:15:11.040 --> 00:15:14.200

they seem to be attracted to the liverwurst bloodsuck.

00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:16.200

Yeah, they are definitely attracted to you.

00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:17.720

And I'm quite happy by that.

00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:20.360

That it's keeping them over there away from me

00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.240

and just next to you.

00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.760

So we'll try to keep it that way.

00:15:24.760 --> 00:15:28.280

I put my leg through this little hole in the cavern

00:15:28.280 --> 00:15:31.480

so that you don't have to see Tony and his friends.

00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:33.000

That's great.

00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:34.400

Let's not think about it.

00:15:34.400 --> 00:15:34.920

Well--

00:15:34.920 --> 00:15:36.240

We won't have to think about it.

00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:37.040

This is wonderful.

00:15:37.040 --> 00:15:38.520

This is the perfect day.

00:15:38.520 --> 00:15:38.880

OK.

00:15:38.880 --> 00:15:40.440

Yeah, I'm happy.

00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:43.560

I don't know if it's the perfect day, but it's a day.

00:15:43.560 --> 00:15:45.600

I've got a call here on the line.

00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:46.480

Oh, wonderful.

00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:51.080

Yeah, I actually tracked down Tog, if you can believe it.

00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:51.960

What?

00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:52.760

Yeah.

00:15:52.760 --> 00:15:54.680

Yeah, I've tracked down Tog.

00:15:54.680 --> 00:15:58.360

Tog is on the road, as we know, with Huba Stank.

00:15:58.360 --> 00:15:59.680

Having a great time.

00:15:59.680 --> 00:16:02.760

Haven't heard from Tog this whole tour so far.

00:16:02.760 --> 00:16:07.680

But tracked down Tog, and Tog has agreed to call into the show

00:16:07.680 --> 00:16:10.680

so we can hear about what's going on outside of Gragleton.

00:16:10.680 --> 00:16:12.760

Bringing in the call, here we go.

00:16:12.760 --> 00:16:17.360

I was dragging this box over here wired in.

00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:19.200

All right, here we go.

00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:21.800

Hi, Tog, are you there?

00:16:21.800 --> 00:16:24.240

Hi, guys.

00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:26.560

Tog, it's Parker Spoon.

00:16:26.560 --> 00:16:30.400

I used to be your co-host, and I live in the apartment.

00:16:30.400 --> 00:16:31.080

No, Parker.

00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:31.840

Parker, no.

00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:33.840

I know who you are.

00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:34.920

I remember.

00:16:34.920 --> 00:16:36.360

I've been on the road for a while,

00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.680

but I totally remember who you are.

00:16:38.680 --> 00:16:39.320

Wonderful.

00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:40.920

Yeah, the apartment is wonderful.

00:16:40.920 --> 00:16:45.440

And I've even incorporated some new smells into the routine

00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:47.320

to paint a sense-scape.

00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:48.560

Oh, a sense-scape?

00:16:48.560 --> 00:16:49.060

Yeah.

00:16:49.060 --> 00:16:51.120

OK, what smells?

00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.720

So when you-- because I've been planning on you coming home

00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:55.600

for so long now.

00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.920

And someday you will, and I'm all prepared.

00:16:57.920 --> 00:17:01.120

So when you walk into the apartment,

00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:06.720

you are going to be taken on a cruise of the senses.

00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:07.720

OK.

00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:10.760

So yeah, the first thing you'll be hit with

00:17:10.760 --> 00:17:13.120

is Venetian blood orange.

00:17:13.120 --> 00:17:13.960

OK.

00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:15.120

And so what you do then--

00:17:15.120 --> 00:17:17.160

so when you get hit by the sense,

00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:19.760

you have to close your eyes and then imagine

00:17:19.760 --> 00:17:25.400

that you're at a carnival, a masquerade in Venice.

00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:25.960

OK.

00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.240

Oh, a carnival masquerade in Venice,

00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:32.880

but in the apartment in Gragleton.

00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:33.920

Yeah, that's right.

00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:34.320

OK.

00:17:34.320 --> 00:17:35.760

And then-- yeah, so then there's

00:17:35.760 --> 00:17:37.600

different sense that I'll spray your way

00:17:37.600 --> 00:17:40.200

as you're walking through.

00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:42.520

So you might be walking through and all of a sudden

00:17:42.520 --> 00:17:46.280

you get hit by the scent of freshly cut grass.

00:17:46.280 --> 00:17:47.360

OK.

00:17:47.360 --> 00:17:52.400

And you'll be like, oh, now you're in the hobbit's land

00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:55.280

where they live in that wonderful book

00:17:55.280 --> 00:18:00.440

by the wonderful token called the Hobbit's.

00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:02.720

OK.

00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:06.240

All right, well, I might be gone for a little while,

00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:08.480

but that will be the next thing to come home to.

00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:11.600

So I'm here on the road with Huba Stank.

00:18:11.600 --> 00:18:14.720

I'm like a roadie now for everybody.

00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:17.440

And I've seen what it's like outside of Gragleton.

00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:19.720

I never left Gragleton for the longest time.

00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:23.000

So it's quite interesting to see how the world is

00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:29.120

outside of our little town and just be like a roadie

00:18:29.120 --> 00:18:30.720

around the rock stars the whole time.

00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.240

It's kind of exciting.

00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:37.880

Now, do they have food out so you can get food

00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:40.520

and they place us to sleep and all that kind of wonderful

stuff,

00:18:40.520 --> 00:18:40.960

right?

00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.040

Yeah, no, there's places to sleep.

00:18:43.040 --> 00:18:47.040

We usually-- or I mean, I'm kind of unofficially a roadie,

00:18:47.040 --> 00:18:47.680

if you will.

00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:52.280

So I have to find my own place along the road.

00:18:52.280 --> 00:18:55.720

And I usually stay at--

00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:56.760

have you heard of--

00:18:56.760 --> 00:18:59.640

Park, have you heard of Motel 6?

00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:01.160

I have not, no.

00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:01.660

Oh, OK.

00:19:01.660 --> 00:19:05.040

Well, they have these motels that are numbered, like all

00:19:05.040 --> 00:19:09.240

these, like Super 99 and Motel 6 and stuff,

00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:10.680

and some other ones.

00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:11.600

They just have numbers.

00:19:11.600 --> 00:19:13.320

I usually look for the one with the numbers

00:19:13.320 --> 00:19:15.760

because they're the ones that I can afford.

00:19:15.760 --> 00:19:17.320

And I stay in those.

00:19:17.320 --> 00:19:21.680

And then I kind of manage to make my way around

00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:25.240

the general backstage area and just kind of help out if I can.

00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.080

It's very exciting.

00:19:27.080 --> 00:19:27.840

That's wonderful.

00:19:27.840 --> 00:19:30.280

These are rock stars with long hair.

00:19:30.280 --> 00:19:31.280

Yeah.

00:19:31.280 --> 00:19:31.780

Yeah.

00:19:31.780 --> 00:19:34.640

And they play that they can hit the drums and strum

00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:39.440

the strings on the old, wonderful shoe box.

00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:40.200

Yeah.

00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:40.920

Yeah, they do.

00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:45.240

And they're generally pretty nice if I just kind of keep

00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.160

myself not exactly seen.

00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.960

And I sometimes bring snacks and people like that.

00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.240

And that's what helps me get into the area behind the stage

00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.520

to help out, is if I bring food.

00:19:59.520 --> 00:20:00.880

Well, then the foods you'll bring will

00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.800

be wonderfully healthy because we know

00:20:03.800 --> 00:20:05.760

that your focus is on health.

00:20:05.760 --> 00:20:07.200

Yeah, but I'm on the road.

00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:09.440

So I don't really get to--

00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:11.960

I don't get to do what I'm known for doing,

00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.120

which is I'm known for making things like vegan jerky

00:20:15.120 --> 00:20:18.320

and sourdough and things like that.

00:20:18.320 --> 00:20:20.920

But I'm on the road at these numbered hotels.

00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:25.320

So I don't really get to bake sourdough at the hotel

00:20:25.320 --> 00:20:28.320

because there isn't an oven.

00:20:28.320 --> 00:20:30.760

So can I give you a little tip?

00:20:30.760 --> 00:20:31.560

Sure.

00:20:31.560 --> 00:20:32.080

I like to.

00:20:32.080 --> 00:20:33.320

So yeah, yeah.

00:20:33.320 --> 00:20:38.960

So you don't need necessarily an oven because sometimes,

00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:42.920

ever since you left, I have been able to figure out

00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:44.800

how to use the oven for the life of me.

00:20:44.800 --> 00:20:46.040

Great.

00:20:46.040 --> 00:20:50.440

And so I bought the grocery--

00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:53.440

the grocer, bulk bins.

00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:54.720

Yeah, bulk bins.

00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:58.960

They let me take the old chicken that they had.

00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:01.000

Because they were going to throw it out anyway.

00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:05.120

So I figured it wouldn't be wasting an animal's life

00:21:05.120 --> 00:21:08.160

because they were going to just toss it.

00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:12.480

So I felt bad because I love wonderful animals.

00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:15.320

But I put the chicken that they were throwing out

00:21:15.320 --> 00:21:20.080

into the hot shower as an alternative in a bag.

00:21:20.080 --> 00:21:24.240

And so I left it in there for three minutes.

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:29.240

I ate it, and it was a little gummy.

00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:29.880

Right.

00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:30.680

Yeah.

00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:36.000

Then I spent three days sweating.

00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:40.640

I have-- you know the medicine cabinets behind the mirror

00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:41.600

in the bathroom?

00:21:41.600 --> 00:21:42.600

If you pull the mirror--

00:21:42.600 --> 00:21:43.840

You can put chicken there?

00:21:43.840 --> 00:21:44.340

No.

00:21:44.340 --> 00:21:47.520

I was just going to say, I have a lot of just things

00:21:47.520 --> 00:21:51.640

for your stomach is in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom.

00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:54.920

If you pull the mirror open, I think I forgot to tell you.

00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:57.040

You actually take the mirror and you pull it,

00:21:57.040 --> 00:21:58.600

and there's shelves behind the mirror.

00:21:58.600 --> 00:22:00.440

It's like a secret case.

00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:00.960

But I have--

00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:02.120

With a looking glass.

00:22:02.120 --> 00:22:03.720

Yeah, I guess.

00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:06.400

And just go in there for your stomach, Parker.

00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:08.760

I forgot to tell you before I left.

00:22:08.760 --> 00:22:12.160

And there'll be a caterpillar smoking a hookah.

00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:13.040

It was a joke.

00:22:13.040 --> 00:22:14.040

Oh, yeah.

00:22:14.040 --> 00:22:15.040

[LAUGHTER]

00:22:15.040 --> 00:22:16.040

I was trying to--

00:22:16.040 --> 00:22:17.240

Yeah, I was just--

00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:20.760

I was trying to go into the realm of the shock.

00:22:20.760 --> 00:22:21.440

Shocking.

00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:23.200

Yeah, oh, you're-- I forgot about--

00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:24.480

you like the stories.

00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:26.200

You like the stories.

00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:26.700

Yeah.

00:22:26.700 --> 00:22:27.480

Yeah, it's wonderful.

00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:28.120

Yeah.

00:22:28.120 --> 00:22:30.240

Oh, I didn't tell you where we are.

00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:31.000

Oh, where are we?

00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:32.160

Where's the show right now?

00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:32.640

No, I didn't--

00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:35.640

The haunted cave, but it's not really haunted.

00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:36.720

It's just--

00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:38.920

You're in the haunted mines right now?

00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:40.080

I certainly am.

00:22:40.080 --> 00:22:42.600

And wonderful things are happening.

00:22:42.600 --> 00:22:43.400

Are you OK?

00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:45.000

You got to stay away from the bats.

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:45.960

You're the kind of one that you're

00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:49.680

going to met just like the goosebump thing all over again.

00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:51.200

No, no, it's fine.

00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:52.280

And the bats have--

00:22:52.280 --> 00:22:56.400

I have stayed away from the bats,

00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:58.360

but the bats have not stayed away from me.

00:22:58.360 --> 00:22:59.400

Badoom, bump.

00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:01.040

You know, it's a--

00:23:01.040 --> 00:23:02.560

Parker, this is very serious.

00:23:02.560 --> 00:23:04.080

You shouldn't make jokes.

00:23:04.080 --> 00:23:06.440

You shouldn't make jokes about those bats.

00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:10.360

Oh, well, they're wonderful, because I had a wound on my leg

00:23:10.360 --> 00:23:15.360

from where the malamote bit me from the liverwurst sock.

00:23:15.360 --> 00:23:17.400

Oh, are you a crew neck?

00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:18.320

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:23:18.320 --> 00:23:21.040

Yeah, crew neck's a great dog.

00:23:21.040 --> 00:23:24.560

And the bats are lapping my blood.

00:23:24.560 --> 00:23:26.760

But in a nice way, in a loving way.

00:23:26.760 --> 00:23:27.800

No, there isn't a good way.

00:23:27.800 --> 00:23:29.520

You need to go get a rabies shot.

00:23:29.520 --> 00:23:30.360

Nope.

00:23:30.360 --> 00:23:31.560

No, thank you.

00:23:31.560 --> 00:23:32.680

I will get a rabies shot.

00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:34.000

I get them regularly anyway.

00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:35.840

It's a good chance to take you to get a rabies shot.

00:23:35.840 --> 00:23:36.520

Yeah, I will.

00:23:36.520 --> 00:23:37.680

Or at least go see your mom.

00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:39.400

But first, they're going to lap my blood,

00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:41.040

and we will let them--

00:23:41.040 --> 00:23:42.720

I will provide sustenance for the whole--

00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:45.480

No, you should not do that, because they've got all the--

00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:48.520

they've got all the diseases in their mouth, Parker.

00:23:48.520 --> 00:23:51.080

I've started to think like a bat.

00:23:51.080 --> 00:23:53.240

Yeah, I think that's what happens.

00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:55.440

But you shouldn't think like a bat.

00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:57.920

You shouldn't-- you don't want to think like a bat,

00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:00.600

because bats only think about biting people and giving them

00:24:00.600 --> 00:24:01.800

the rabies.

00:24:01.800 --> 00:24:02.960

No, I can't--

00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:04.800

I can't--

00:24:04.800 --> 00:24:06.080

So I've been--

00:24:06.080 --> 00:24:08.960

I've had thoughts about trying to echolocate now.

00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:10.320

Right.

00:24:10.320 --> 00:24:12.160

Yeah, that's not what you want.

00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:13.600

They're going--

00:24:13.600 --> 00:24:16.520

they're putting their mouth juices into your blood,

Parker.

00:24:16.520 --> 00:24:19.040

OK, well, that's wonderful.

00:24:19.040 --> 00:24:20.160

It's not wonderful.

00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:22.560

Parker, no, it's not wonderful.

00:24:22.560 --> 00:24:23.560

Oh, don't you worry.

00:24:23.560 --> 00:24:26.840

You enjoy yourself with a hoobie stank and have fun.

00:24:26.840 --> 00:24:27.840

No, it's really fun.

00:24:27.840 --> 00:24:28.720

It's really fun.

00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:31.320

I think they're going to talk to me soon, actually.

00:24:31.320 --> 00:24:33.040

Oh.

00:24:33.040 --> 00:24:35.720

So wait, they haven't--

00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:36.720

No.

00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:37.220

No.

00:24:37.220 --> 00:24:40.080

Again, I'm not an official roadie.

00:24:40.080 --> 00:24:43.600

I'm just like-- I'm a roadie, but I'm not an official roadie.

00:24:43.600 --> 00:24:46.120

I'm like a--

00:24:46.120 --> 00:24:49.360

I don't know what you call me, but I'm not official.

00:24:49.360 --> 00:24:51.400

I'm touring with a band.

00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:52.400

Touring with a band?

00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:53.280

That's wonderful.

00:24:53.280 --> 00:24:53.780

Yeah.

00:24:53.780 --> 00:24:54.400

Yeah.

00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:56.720

And they play the songs.

00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:58.600

They can sing the songs and everything.

00:24:58.600 --> 00:25:00.000

Oh, they sing lots of songs.

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:00.760

I like the Rises.

00:25:00.760 --> 00:25:01.520

Oh, wonderful.

00:25:01.520 --> 00:25:02.240

They're their biggest hit.

00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:03.600

They always sing it right in the end.

00:25:03.600 --> 00:25:04.920

You know what?

00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:06.440

You don't want to get--

00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:08.160

that's because if you sing it early,

00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:09.520

everyone's going to say goodbye and leave.

00:25:09.520 --> 00:25:10.360

Oh, exactly.

00:25:10.360 --> 00:25:13.000

It's the big song at the end.

00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:14.560

And so you have to do it at the end.

00:25:14.560 --> 00:25:15.000

Yeah.

00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:16.280

Or people, yeah, they'd leave.

00:25:16.280 --> 00:25:18.520

Like if you did it right before the intermission

00:25:18.520 --> 00:25:20.320

or something like that, people would all leave

00:25:20.320 --> 00:25:21.200

at the intermission.

00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:23.560

That would be the wrong time.

00:25:23.560 --> 00:25:28.040

Oh, a Barty Bundle is--

00:25:28.040 --> 00:25:31.200

so he's missing still.

00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:34.440

And then in this-- and he might be in this cave,

00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:36.920

but Jen doesn't think so.

00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:41.000

Because Jen doesn't want anything fun in this world.

00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:42.440

Yeah, well, that's Jen.

00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:43.440

Yeah.

00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:44.840

She robs the world.

00:25:44.840 --> 00:25:45.960

She's really, really joyous.

00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:47.280

She's right now.

00:25:47.280 --> 00:25:50.160

Yeah, she has a humor.

00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:52.320

But yeah, we're going to find a Barty Bundle.

00:25:52.320 --> 00:25:54.400

And we'll be heroes.

00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:55.120

Oh, that's good.

00:25:55.120 --> 00:25:56.520

Yeah, well, ask crewneck.

00:25:56.520 --> 00:25:57.160

Ask crewneck.

00:25:57.160 --> 00:25:58.040

OK.

00:25:58.040 --> 00:25:58.680

Yeah.

00:25:58.680 --> 00:25:59.200

Wonderful.

00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:02.080

Crewneck, can you look?

00:26:02.080 --> 00:26:03.240

Ah, crewneck's sleeping.

00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:06.920

[LAUGHTER]

00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:09.040

Oh, well, I got to go.

00:26:09.040 --> 00:26:11.120

I got to go and do a fine.

00:26:11.120 --> 00:26:14.760

Yeah, I got to pretty much try to catch up

00:26:14.760 --> 00:26:17.320

so I can figure out where they're going next.

00:26:17.320 --> 00:26:19.640

Well, catch up and tell them I said hi, OK?

00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:21.400

OK, well, if they talk to me.

00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:22.200

So yeah.

00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:22.880

Yeah.

00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.440

And if you want to really give them a surprise,

00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:29.240

you can take some garlic scented Pam,

00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:30.800

the wonderful cooking spray.

00:26:30.800 --> 00:26:31.320

OK.

00:26:31.320 --> 00:26:33.880

And you can create a sense scape and spray it on them.

00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:35.040

Oh, yeah.

00:26:35.040 --> 00:26:36.000

Well, you know what?

00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:37.520

I have enough sense that I probably

00:26:37.520 --> 00:26:38.880

won't do that until we're friends.

00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:39.640

OK.

00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:40.000

Yeah.

00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:40.560

Wonderful.

00:26:40.560 --> 00:26:41.040

All right.

00:26:41.040 --> 00:26:41.800

Well, take care.

00:26:41.800 --> 00:26:44.000

Don't get too haunted and leave those bats on your partner.

00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:44.720

Oh, boy.

00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:45.360

OK.

00:26:45.360 --> 00:26:46.880

Get away, Sean.

00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:50.920

I'll leave them, but they won't leave me.

00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:53.360

Oh, we lost-- we lost Tog there.

00:26:53.360 --> 00:26:53.720

All right.

00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:56.320

I wasn't paying attention to what any of you guys said.

00:26:56.320 --> 00:26:59.280

So hopefully that was a good chat and good radio.

00:26:59.280 --> 00:26:59.800

Wonderful.

00:26:59.800 --> 00:27:01.200

Do we have a commercial or something?

00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:02.120

Yeah, we do.

00:27:02.120 --> 00:27:04.120

Yeah, we have to-- well, we have to start

00:27:04.120 --> 00:27:06.840

talking about our sponsor, which is Ghost Away.

00:27:06.840 --> 00:27:10.080

So why don't we get to that?

00:27:10.080 --> 00:27:13.480

I'm going to cover my ears if it gets a little creepy, OK?

00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:14.720

All right.

00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:17.400

So Ghost Away is sponsoring the show.

00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:19.200

The show is brought to you by Ghost Away.

00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:22.920

It's a revolutionary product that gets

00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:26.120

rid of ghosts if you believe in ghosts, I suppose.

00:27:26.120 --> 00:27:27.600

It kind of works like--

00:27:27.600 --> 00:27:28.000

you know what?

00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:29.320

I kind of have a--

00:27:29.320 --> 00:27:30.960

probably shouldn't say this because we're supposed

00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:33.360

to be supporting this product.

00:27:33.360 --> 00:27:37.080

It looks and smells kind of like bitter apple.

00:27:37.080 --> 00:27:40.720

You know, the spray that you spray when dogs bite?

00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:42.680

Like, you could probably put it on your tourniquet

00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:44.960

and keep a crew neck away from your blood.

00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:46.000

Why would I do that?

00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:48.480

Because it just looks and smells like--

00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:52.000

I'm pretty sure they just relabeled that bitter apple

00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:55.160

spray that you spray to keep dogs away from things that they

00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:57.400

should-- like, if they're chewing on their paw and stuff,

00:27:57.400 --> 00:27:59.320

you put it on their paw and they won't chew it.

00:27:59.320 --> 00:28:01.400

That's one of the sprays that--

00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:03.480

what we probably said about the sensecape for--

00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:05.040

I guess you weren't listening.

00:28:05.040 --> 00:28:10.760

But I'm creating an immersive apartment for Tog

00:28:10.760 --> 00:28:11.760

when they get back.

00:28:11.760 --> 00:28:15.080

And so I have bitter apple to spray on them.

00:28:15.080 --> 00:28:17.200

Because then I was going to say, pretend

00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:19.440

like we're in one of those forests where the trees throw

00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:21.360

apples at you because they get upset.

00:28:21.360 --> 00:28:22.360

Yeah.

00:28:22.360 --> 00:28:22.800

Yeah.

00:28:22.800 --> 00:28:23.920

Yeah, I think it's like that.

00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:25.000

They're bitter apples.

00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:28.960

Let's do a bit of a product demo here with Ghost Away.

00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:31.120

So here's a bottle of Ghost Away.

00:28:31.120 --> 00:28:33.040

It sells for $7.99.

00:28:33.040 --> 00:28:37.560

You can get it at any Grappleton grocery store, corner

store,

00:28:37.560 --> 00:28:38.840

Bodega.

00:28:38.840 --> 00:28:41.760

It even carried at the bakery for whatever reason.

00:28:41.760 --> 00:28:45.360

But I think the bakers in there are superstitious.

00:28:45.360 --> 00:28:48.600

So let me spray some in front of your--

00:28:48.600 --> 00:28:50.720

how do you want me to spray this around you, Parker?

00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:51.920

And you can tell me if it's like--

00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:52.920

All over me.

00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:53.520

Go for it.

00:28:53.520 --> 00:28:54.320

Oh, right.

00:28:54.320 --> 00:28:54.920

Yeah.

00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:57.440

It won't keep the bats away, right?

00:28:57.440 --> 00:28:59.200

Well, the bats are ghosts.

00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:00.680

And this product actually works.

00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:02.960

I suppose it will keep them away from you.

00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:06.280

It'll keep-- so it'll keep worm ghosts away, but not bats.

00:29:06.280 --> 00:29:07.360

Right, the worm ghosts.

00:29:07.360 --> 00:29:09.160

All right, I'm just going to spray it here, Parker.

00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:11.560

I guess put your face towards it if you want me to.

00:29:11.560 --> 00:29:12.040

I'm just--

00:29:12.040 --> 00:29:12.560

OK.

00:29:12.560 --> 00:29:13.920

Now, right here.

00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:14.400

Go for it.

00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:15.400

Go.

00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:16.800

There.

00:29:16.800 --> 00:29:17.520

OK.

00:29:17.520 --> 00:29:18.240

Oh, boy.

00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:19.040

OK.

00:29:19.040 --> 00:29:19.540

All right.

00:29:19.540 --> 00:29:20.280

Oh, boy.

00:29:20.280 --> 00:29:24.080

No, I cannot-- I cannot see.

00:29:24.080 --> 00:29:25.760

I cannot see.

00:29:25.760 --> 00:29:30.520

All right, so ghost away if you want to blind an attacker

00:29:30.520 --> 00:29:32.760

or get a ghost away from you.

00:29:32.760 --> 00:29:37.160

It will be good for either of those things.

00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:38.560

Oh, jeez.

00:29:38.560 --> 00:29:39.320

Oh, boy.

00:29:39.320 --> 00:29:39.800

You know what?

00:29:39.800 --> 00:29:41.680

I'm going to just look-- oh, it says,

00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:43.960

don't spray directly on skin.

00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:44.880

OK.

00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:45.720

All right.

00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:48.640

I guess I should have read the back of the bottle before.

00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:49.560

Oh, OK.

00:29:49.560 --> 00:29:50.960

Listener, ghost away.

00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:53.080

I can see, but it's burned.

00:29:53.080 --> 00:29:53.880

I see burning.

00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:55.200

All right.

00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:55.800

OK.

00:29:55.800 --> 00:29:58.800

Well, listener, ghost away.

00:29:58.800 --> 00:30:00.320

Don't spray it on your skin.

00:30:00.320 --> 00:30:03.720

Read the product bottle before you use it.

00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.360

It will keep ghosts away, maybe attackers away, possibly

dogs

00:30:07.360 --> 00:30:08.280

or bats.

00:30:08.280 --> 00:30:11.240

I'd like to paint a seascape for the listeners if I might.

00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:13.200

OK.

00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:17.240

So I'm channeling.

00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:22.040

I've been reading some books on the wonderful mindfulness

00:30:22.040 --> 00:30:24.760

and secular Buddhism.

00:30:24.760 --> 00:30:25.520

I know.

00:30:25.520 --> 00:30:27.200

You wouldn't think I'd read this.

00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:28.440

But I do.

00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:33.360

And so I've been channeling the pain

00:30:33.360 --> 00:30:38.320

that I have right now, which is exquisite and raw,

00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:42.400

into trying to do good works.

00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:47.800

And I am going to echolocate Barty Bundle.

00:30:47.800 --> 00:30:49.120

All right.

00:30:49.120 --> 00:30:55.400

So ghost away, a product if you want to attack your

attackers,

00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:59.480

echolocate missing people, or maybe keep away ghosts.

00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:02.880

Get it anywhere in Gragelton, pretty much.

00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:03.760

So we're back.

00:31:03.760 --> 00:31:04.240

We're back.

00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:04.960

From the commercial.

00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:06.840

Yes, we're back from the commercial.

00:31:06.840 --> 00:31:10.800

You're listening to 101.7 FM, the Grag.

00:31:10.800 --> 00:31:15.200

We are here in the haunted mines in Outer Grag.

00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:16.160

I'm here with Parker.

00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:17.360

Parker.

00:31:17.360 --> 00:31:18.800

Hi.

00:31:18.800 --> 00:31:20.440

Parker's here.

00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:24.840

So we have a Q&A from a listener.

00:31:24.840 --> 00:31:29.440

And that question is, what do you think about squirrels

00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:32.280

and their social dynamics?

00:31:32.280 --> 00:31:34.200

That's a good question, listener.

00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:35.560

It's a wonderful question.

00:31:35.560 --> 00:31:36.040

Yeah.

00:31:36.040 --> 00:31:36.880

It's unsigned.

00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:38.040

I don't know who it's from.

00:31:38.040 --> 00:31:39.480

But good question.

00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:41.920

I'll let you take this one, and then I will supplement it,

00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:43.600

because I have some definitive thoughts.

00:31:43.600 --> 00:31:44.280

You do?

00:31:44.280 --> 00:31:44.720

All right.

00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:48.800

Well, the main social dynamic that I see with squirrels

00:31:48.800 --> 00:31:52.160

is actually against my cats.

00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:55.480

I have a tree outside my window here in Gragelton

00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:57.160

that the squirrels love.

00:31:57.160 --> 00:31:59.640

It's a black walnut tree there is going up there,

00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:01.800

collect, I guess, all the walnuts or whatever they do.

00:32:01.800 --> 00:32:03.520

They put them in their cheeks and stuff.

00:32:03.520 --> 00:32:08.080

But they actually seem to have some kind of possibly

00:32:08.080 --> 00:32:11.400

vendetta against my cats, or they just don't like the cats,

00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:13.320

because they're always going up to the window

00:32:13.320 --> 00:32:14.560

and staring down the cats.

00:32:14.560 --> 00:32:16.560

And driving the cats nuts, they seem

00:32:16.560 --> 00:32:18.480

to know, which is kind of funny, because they're

00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:19.720

collecting nuts.

00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:21.160

I just heard that.

00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:22.040

I'm sorry I wanted to.

00:32:22.040 --> 00:32:24.520

I didn't mean to do the pun, but it's just--

00:32:24.520 --> 00:32:25.800

No, no, it's not nuts.

00:32:25.800 --> 00:32:26.480

That was good.

00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:27.880

That was good me.

00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:30.640

So they stare it down.

00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:33.520

They stare down my cat and seem to like to do some sort

00:32:33.520 --> 00:32:35.640

of power play, because it's like, you want me,

00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:36.480

you can't get me.

00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:38.000

You'd like to kill me, but you're not going to.

00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:39.120

You can't get through the window.

00:32:39.120 --> 00:32:40.720

You're just a lousy indoor cat.

00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:43.600

So I think that social dynamic is--

00:32:43.600 --> 00:32:46.240

I suppose something I enjoy watching.

00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:50.280

I think it's delightful to observe.

00:32:50.280 --> 00:32:52.640

Oh, well, it's delightful that you like.

00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:54.920

It's delightful that you think it's delightful.

00:32:54.920 --> 00:32:55.600

How's that?

00:32:55.600 --> 00:32:56.200

I suppose.

00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:57.880

Like, my cats deserve it in a way,

00:32:57.880 --> 00:32:59.520

because they do want to kill a squirrel.

00:32:59.520 --> 00:33:01.680

So it's kind of the taunting is kind of--

00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:05.280

it seems fair, I would say.

00:33:05.280 --> 00:33:06.040

Wonderful.

00:33:06.040 --> 00:33:09.400

Yeah, when I think of squirrel social dynamics,

00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:13.560

it's not real, but I always imagine a squirrel wearing--

00:33:13.560 --> 00:33:15.880

you ever see that thing where they're--

00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:18.440

it's like they're wearing like a apron that's

00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:22.160

like red and white checkers, and they're

00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:26.680

baking in like a little squirrel oven for like a big family?

00:33:26.680 --> 00:33:30.680

This is definitely another children's book, isn't it?

00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:32.680

It was called The Squirrel in the Kitchen.

00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:33.920

And it was--

00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:36.720

but you know that thing where they're doing it all,

00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:39.600

and the squirrels are baking, and then they bring out

00:33:39.600 --> 00:33:43.040

acorns, and everybody has like a squirrel knife and fork,

00:33:43.040 --> 00:33:43.960

which is wonderful.

00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:45.760

So I'm going to go out on a limb here.

00:33:45.760 --> 00:33:48.560

I think the listener who sent this in

00:33:48.560 --> 00:33:52.800

is wanting to know about our thoughts on real squirrel

00:33:52.800 --> 00:33:57.880

social dynamics, like actual non-fictional dynamics.

00:33:57.880 --> 00:33:58.960

That's wonderful.

00:33:58.960 --> 00:33:59.520

OK.

00:33:59.520 --> 00:34:02.920

So you like the social dynamics of fictional squirrels

00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:04.560

in a children's book, like a Richard

00:34:04.560 --> 00:34:07.400

scary style social dynamic.

00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:11.360

The wonderful prolific artistic--

00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:13.560

Yeah, very artistic, wonderful--

00:34:13.560 --> 00:34:15.240

It was not scary, by the way.

00:34:15.240 --> 00:34:17.160

No, definitely not scary.

00:34:17.160 --> 00:34:20.600

No wolves or ghosts or werewolves or anything

00:34:20.600 --> 00:34:23.000

like that in any of his materials.

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:26.440

I mean, unless you're afraid of a town being

00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:28.560

run by small animals.

00:34:28.560 --> 00:34:29.440

Not me.

00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:30.040

Not you.

00:34:30.040 --> 00:34:30.680

I'm not--

00:34:30.680 --> 00:34:31.400

I'm not--

00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:33.840

Daddy, I'll tell you, I have a long list of things

00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:36.080

that I'm afraid of, and that doesn't even come close.

00:34:36.080 --> 00:34:38.280

You know, I think if I just rolled into town,

00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:40.600

and that town didn't have humans,

00:34:40.600 --> 00:34:44.240

but instead had a whole bunch of animals in human-like

scenarios

00:34:44.240 --> 00:34:48.440

where I enclosed fear would be one of my first reactions

00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:50.320

to that scenario.

00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:51.080

Wonderful.

00:34:51.080 --> 00:34:54.320

Not the fear, but fear is a--

00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:58.960

fear-- so sometimes you can let fear guide you.

00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:02.200

So you got to do the opposite of what you're afraid of.

00:35:02.200 --> 00:35:03.960

So what that means here is that you

00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:08.440

have to find a town that's run by animals in sweaters

00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:09.480

and stuff.

00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:12.840

Because then that way you won't be afraid of it anymore.

00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:14.200

OK.

00:35:14.200 --> 00:35:14.920

All right.

00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:18.280

So desensitize myself to real animals,

00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:20.760

that sort of scenario, which is definitely--

00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:22.240

should be in fiction, not in reality.

00:35:22.240 --> 00:35:24.360

Like the animals on my leg as we speak.

00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:24.840

Wonderful.

00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:26.000

Keep that away from me.

00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:28.200

There's still going after your blood.

00:35:28.200 --> 00:35:31.480

Oh, yeah, but mostly behind the rocks, so you can't see it.

00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:31.960

Yeah.

00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:34.480

Are you still echolocating right now?

00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:35.440

Yeah, no.

00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:38.160

That's what I was going to suggest for the next segment,

00:35:38.160 --> 00:35:40.280

because I'm going to run off.

00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:40.780

OK.

00:35:40.780 --> 00:35:45.920

And I am going to try to echolocate Barty Bundle.

00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:47.040

Oh, good.

00:35:47.040 --> 00:35:47.540

Good.

00:35:47.540 --> 00:35:47.800

Yeah, so--

00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:49.120

Because if we find Barty Bundle,

00:35:49.120 --> 00:35:53.200

I hear that some people have pooled like a winning spot.

00:35:53.200 --> 00:35:55.280

You know, like you win--

00:35:55.280 --> 00:36:00.080

you'll get money, like if we find him, whatever that's

called.

00:36:00.080 --> 00:36:00.920

Yeah.

00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:02.400

I would like some money.

00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:03.520

Yeah, so hold on.

00:36:03.520 --> 00:36:04.400

Can I have half?

00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:06.680

Can I have-- if you find Barty out there, can I have half?

00:36:06.680 --> 00:36:07.400

You can take it all.

00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:08.480

No, you can have everything.

00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:08.880

I don't care.

00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:09.640

Oh, wow.

00:36:09.640 --> 00:36:11.400

I'm doing this for the light.

00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:12.840

I do it for the love of the game.

00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:13.160

Thanks.

00:36:13.160 --> 00:36:14.000

I could use that.

00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:16.640

We have a segment back at the studio at the Grac,

00:36:16.640 --> 00:36:18.800

so I'm going to-- let's throw to that segment.

00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:20.040

I'll come with you.

00:36:20.040 --> 00:36:21.960

Let's go see if we can find Barty.

00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:22.360

Let's get--

00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:23.600

Grunette, wake up.

00:36:23.600 --> 00:36:24.120

Wake up, Grunette.

00:36:24.120 --> 00:36:25.320

You're Belgian Balinois.

00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:27.360

You shouldn't be sleeping.

00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:31.560

Gee, gee, gee.

00:36:31.560 --> 00:36:32.560

This is funny.

00:36:32.560 --> 00:36:35.280

[MUSIC PLAYING]

00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:37.280

Rainy wind.

00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:43.680

This is Maureen Fossett-Cluthor over at the Grac Public

00:36:43.680 --> 00:36:49.120

Access offices, where I'm taping my new show, Bad at

Business.

00:36:49.120 --> 00:36:51.720

I'm supposed to cover the weather for you right now,

00:36:51.720 --> 00:36:55.240

so which is going to be brought to you today by the Barty

Bundle

00:36:55.240 --> 00:36:57.120

Beanie Baby Bargain Barn.

00:36:57.120 --> 00:37:01.720

But we're probably not going to get the payment remitted

now.

00:37:01.720 --> 00:37:03.400

Jen, you're just going to love this one

00:37:03.400 --> 00:37:05.920

when you get this cassette tape tomorrow morning.

00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:09.280

I handle small business insurance here in Gragleton,

00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:13.240

and I was sent by the office for a walkthrough of a new

business

00:37:13.240 --> 00:37:15.160

to prepare a quote for them.

00:37:15.160 --> 00:37:18.560

That business, Barty Bundle's Beanie Baby Bargain Barn.

00:37:18.560 --> 00:37:22.520

And I thought, oh, maybe that's where Barty's been when I was

00:37:22.520 --> 00:37:24.880

driving over to that bargain barn.

00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:29.240

But instead, I happened to discover why Barty had been

missing.

00:37:29.240 --> 00:37:32.600

I started doing my walkthrough, and I found him

00:37:32.600 --> 00:37:37.640

dead in the Barty Bundle Beanie Baby Bargain Barn basement

00:37:37.640 --> 00:37:40.040

when I went down to check the breakers.

00:37:40.040 --> 00:37:42.560

Tripped right over Barty's broken back bone

00:37:42.560 --> 00:37:46.160

before I could turn on the light and find that breaker box.

00:37:46.160 --> 00:37:51.760

So I guess mystery solved about where Barty is.

00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:53.800

Actually, I'm not sure if I'm supposed

00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:55.440

to be sharing this information.

00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:57.920

It hasn't even hit the gazette yet.

00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:00.080

Oh, I guess I better get to the weather now.

00:38:00.080 --> 00:38:01.600

Get ready for the weather.

00:38:01.600 --> 00:38:06.240

Tonight's weather in East Grag should be slightly

overcast,

00:38:06.240 --> 00:38:07.040

it says.

00:38:07.040 --> 00:38:09.440

You just learned all about the weather.

00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:11.520

And so that's the weather brought to you,

00:38:11.520 --> 00:38:15.400

well, it might be from the estate of Barty Bundle

00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:17.600

for Barty Bundle's Beanie Baby Bargain Barn.

00:38:17.600 --> 00:38:20.160

Maybe Barty's bill will be on the house.

00:38:20.160 --> 00:38:23.360

Well, I can honestly say Barty Bundle's Beanie Baby Bargain

00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:25.320

Barn looked beautiful.

00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:26.880

Excellent safety features.

00:38:26.880 --> 00:38:28.680

And I was going to offer Barty coverage

00:38:28.680 --> 00:38:32.280

with a very balanced, premium package.

00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:35.520

Barty sure didn't look beautiful with that broken back

bone,

00:38:35.520 --> 00:38:38.440

though, once I got the lights on.

00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:40.800

He looked pretty well.

00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:43.280

A bit murdered dead, as one would say.

00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:46.480

Oh, I wonder if Barty has any ghost away in here.

00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:48.440

[BELL RINGING]

00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:53.760

All right, we're back.

00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:57.840

We were looking for Barty Bundle.

00:38:57.840 --> 00:38:59.600

I didn't see anything.

00:38:59.600 --> 00:39:01.000

I kind of lost you there.

00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:03.480

You went off into the dark, and I was like,

00:39:03.480 --> 00:39:05.760

I am not going any further than this.

00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:08.600

Yeah, so no, I'm doing it for--

00:39:08.600 --> 00:39:11.720

if you don't mind, because I know you don't like blood

00:39:11.720 --> 00:39:12.800

or anything like that.

00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:13.840

Uh-huh.

00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:17.400

You probably don't want to look at my shoulders,

00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:19.760

because I was echolocating there.

00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:21.080

Oh, God.

00:39:21.080 --> 00:39:24.600

Yeah, I was echolocating.

00:39:24.600 --> 00:39:27.080

Yeah, you're a wonderful--

00:39:27.080 --> 00:39:30.360

it was a wonderful waterfall.

00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:33.400

And I was echolocating near the side of it.

00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:38.680

And I thought that I saw, using my words that were bounced

back

00:39:38.680 --> 00:39:42.040

and they became images, I thought I saw a person.

00:39:42.040 --> 00:39:47.280

And I fell down, and I cut both of my shoulders

00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:49.240

on stalactites.

00:39:49.240 --> 00:39:51.680

Stalag mites, technically, I guess.

00:39:51.680 --> 00:39:52.280

Really?

00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:54.640

Stalag-- is that the ones that come up from the floor,

00:39:54.640 --> 00:39:56.040

the ones that come down from the--

00:39:56.040 --> 00:39:58.840

Stalag tites, you got to really hold on to,

00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:00.480

so that's because they hold on tight.

00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:04.240

So yeah, it's like mites are the ones on the floor.

00:40:04.240 --> 00:40:05.480

Oh, I like that.

00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:08.200

I like-- now I'll know which one's which.

00:40:08.200 --> 00:40:10.000

That's great, but you look awful.

00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:12.560

You're going to need a rabies shot and some stitches.

00:40:12.560 --> 00:40:14.160

I don't know if you've noticed, but there

00:40:14.160 --> 00:40:18.600

are several very large bats that are staying.

00:40:18.600 --> 00:40:21.280

They look almost like statuary.

00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:21.760

God.

00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:22.880

And they are--

00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:23.920

Those are big ones.

00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:26.840

Those aren't like the little ones that were on your

tourniquet.

00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:27.400

Oh, my--

00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:27.640

No.

00:40:27.640 --> 00:40:29.600

Where do you find these--

00:40:29.600 --> 00:40:31.680

Yep, and they are on my shoulders,

00:40:31.680 --> 00:40:35.880

like the wonderful gargoyles.

00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:38.960

Sorry, I'm getting dramatic because I

00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:41.000

haven't had any blood recently.

00:40:41.000 --> 00:40:44.080

Yeah, no, you're looking pale too, Parker.

00:40:44.080 --> 00:40:45.080

You should sit down.

00:40:45.080 --> 00:40:46.480

If you fall and you hurt yourself,

00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:47.960

I don't want to have to try to catch you

00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:49.240

with all those things around you.

00:40:49.240 --> 00:40:52.120

Now if I fall, now the bats will take care of me,

00:40:52.120 --> 00:40:53.800

so you just talk and we'll be OK.

00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:57.520

OK, well, I'm going to take you straight to the hospital

00:40:57.520 --> 00:40:59.680

after this to get you a shot and get you cleaned up.

00:40:59.680 --> 00:41:01.440

You know, I'm a pretty dark person,

00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:04.400

but I don't want this one on my conscience.

00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:05.920

I feel wonderful.

00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:07.520

This is some kind-- maybe it's a survival mechanism.

00:41:07.520 --> 00:41:08.920

You've lost a lot of blood.

00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:11.040

I think that's probably why you feel pretty good.

00:41:11.040 --> 00:41:11.640

Well, what's next?

00:41:11.640 --> 00:41:12.560

What's the next segment?

00:41:12.560 --> 00:41:14.000

We're done the show.

00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:16.520

We can-- I think we need to probably just get you

00:41:16.520 --> 00:41:17.800

to a hospital at this point.

00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:19.640

Oh, they're flapping.

00:41:19.640 --> 00:41:21.200

Yeah, the bats are flapping.

00:41:21.200 --> 00:41:21.840

No, God.

00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:24.400

Yeah, they're too close to me.

00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:26.480

OK, oh boy, no, they got you.

00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:27.720

OK, yeah, no, they got you.

00:41:27.720 --> 00:41:28.560

Oh, I'm flying.

00:41:28.560 --> 00:41:29.560

Oh, God.

00:41:29.560 --> 00:41:30.960

Oh, you're-- OK.

00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:31.960

I'm flying.

00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:33.560

Listener, all right, Bev.

00:41:33.560 --> 00:41:35.600

This doesn't seem plausible, but I am going to--

00:41:35.600 --> 00:41:36.480

In the air.

00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:37.480

Yeah.

00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:39.520

Parker's being taken off right now,

00:41:39.520 --> 00:41:41.280

and we're going to end the show.

00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:42.920

So thanks for listening to the show.

00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:43.800

We'll be back.

00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:46.240

We are in the haunted mines, where

00:41:46.240 --> 00:41:48.120

we found a lot of bats, not many ghosts.

00:41:48.120 --> 00:41:51.080

So maybe Ghost Away actually works, which is our sponsor.

00:41:51.080 --> 00:41:54.120

Tune in soon, and we're out for now.

00:41:54.120 --> 00:41:54.840

Bye for now.

00:41:54.840 --> 00:41:57.040

Out, out, out, out, bye.

00:41:57.040 --> 00:41:57.540

Out.
