(01:29):
speakers in your in your roller coaster and you get
to pick from the songs that you want to play
that I guess go along with the track. Uh, it's
hard to tell, but it was also the roller coaster
that made it so I could no longer go well

You know that that was the X two is the

Next up it's Jackie to Ruthie. Jackie, it would be
your dream holiday if money with no limit, um holiday
being vacation or um money is no limit. You know

(02:35):

want to go to the cities, but I also want

great getkowski Greig. If you were to try something to
get in the Guinness Book, what would it be? M M.
I mean those twins, those fat twins on motorbikes are
awfully cocky. They've held that record for a while. And
so I think I need to get a lot of

(03:20):
weight and uh and find my twin and also convinced
them to gain a lot of weight if they haven't already.
So I think that's the one nice and then you
can go to Europe and blow everyone. Finally, Mr Joey Greer, Joey,
it's St. Patrick's day when we're recording this, and I

(03:41):
hear you wrote a new book of Irish poetry. Here

have my books on there, so please just go check
that out. But this one's called Whispers from the Western

(04:05):
Wind and that's the title of the book. And these
are all different poems and and thoughts and musings that
the one would have on the western winds on the
shores of Ireland, the Emerald Isle. And if people are
familiar with the western winds of Ireland, just a little
side now before I get into the actual poetry, that's
actually some of the strongest winds in the world. And uh,

(04:25):
it actually go completely shape a topography of the country itself.
And uh Ireland, even though it's an island right off
the coast of the UK on the western side or
left side, if you're looking at a map, it's uh,
it's it's buffeted before you get to the actual island
of the UK and the poem, I think, well, we're

(05:31):
Over the holiday season, I've being almost all the episodes
in your back catalog, and now every thought I have
is the voice of Jevy Grieber. Has been a pleasant
kind of hell. I even listened to the first episode
of fan podcast that has reminded of the old saying
analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. A few people
are interested in the frog dies of it, which brings

(05:52):
me to my scene suggestion. A comedy club run by
a dead frog. Tucker from Queens. Let me just talk
to him. Okay, let me just allright, listen, get out there, man,
then everybody, man, he look man, Look, look, if you

(06:16):
keep doing it in time. Man, I'm one of the
guys putting in I know we know who you are
dead from all right, that's who That's who he is,
Jesus Christ. I'm at it here, man puts club sucks.
Shut up? Uh, sir? What's all this noise outside my office? Um? Sorry, sorry,

(06:39):
that's just another comic. They want more time. All the
comics want more time. Yeah, I know, I know, and
and you know they they're gonna be upset because they
feel like they're putting in time here and the putting
in work here, and they feel like they're getting they're
not getting, you know, the stage time they want. I
don't know what to do, sir. Are you uh you

(07:00):
hinting that you want some time Thayland? I mean, I've
just I wouldn't come right out and say that I
also work for you. I know I'm on the payroll here,
but if you felt that I deserved it, I feel like,
you know, five ten, fifteen, I could be a closer.
I could be a closer in the in the dungeon room.
You know. Um, I got some alternative stuff that dungeon

(07:21):
room closed. It needs to do two hours you have
two hours of material Thailand, No, sir, not strong, not strong,
not strong exactly, not strong. Why don't I work up
a type five first and then you can build up
the closing. Yes, a lot of people don't take me
seriously because I'm a dead frog. Yeah, yeah, I do.

(07:42):
We do. I do. I mean your community does, sir. Um.
As a matter of fact, we have somebody waiting for
you outside. Um. She's a celebrity. She's so, she's looking
to do a national tour, wants to know if she
can stop right here. I told her I'd see if
you have time to talk to the mystery who is it?
Just just drop the name. You know her, You've seen her,

(08:03):
you probably love her. I'll let her in and um
high um. I was the celebrity um wondering if I
could book some time on the stage, but preferably not
in the dungeon room, as I have been held captive
in a dungeon before, and although it led me to

(08:24):
finding my true love, it still is very triggering to
me to be there. If there's not like a beast
who's um like keeping me but also protecting me. So
if we could um give me one of the other rooms.
I get it. I get it. Uh. First of all,
I'm tremendously impressed that you know who I am and
who my club is, because I'm a big fan of

(08:45):
your work and your fan of yours. A minute that
you didn't start showing up before movies singing and dancing,
I thought, oh, no, has he died? And yes he has,
but he is not gone forever. The fact that you
own this club is so impressive to me. Yeah, I'm
a second dance, a frog who died, and I'm here

(09:07):
running a comedy club. Uh. Somehow I'm you know, I
think I probably have uh some business that that I'm
not aware of that needs to be settled before I'm
able to ascend to the next life. But right now,
my my spirit haunts this world. Uh, Edward, could you

(09:28):
come into my classroom really quick? Yeah? Yeah, Well, Edward,
we're missing one of our frogs. Uh. Why why are
you automatically asking me? Huh yeah, my teacher's assistant, Edward,
I expect you to make sure that every single class
is prepared and ready for our lessons, and I need

(09:52):
you to track down this missing dead frog. Right. I'll
get on and miss dress and door f But excuse me.
Hold on one second, don't go anywhere this is This
is a tablet and there's a GPS. Do you see
that little dot? Yeah, that's where the frog is. That's

(10:12):
where the frog is. Dude, What do you do with
that fucking frog? Dude? Just because that owner didn't let
you play this club doesn't mean you need to be
a fucking sickle about it. Man. You shut the hell up. Man,
you don't know what the hell is going on. Man,
all right, you're you're hiking. Yeah, Hi, dude, I'm high
on facts. I'm high one that's worse. I'd rather you
do fucking smack. No, man, dude, I kicked that. Dude.

(10:35):
I'm proud of myself for kicking that. Man. All right,
and so okay, so just walking to the plan again.
What are you gonna do with this frog? Now, I'll
think what we're gonna do? No, open it. What are
you gonna do again? But we're gonna do it. I
mean I'm saying that as a royal thing. But me
and you are okay, go look dude, you're not stopping me.

(10:56):
Did You're in accessory to the fact and after all right,
so you're gonna work at this point, I'm only accessory
to youse stilling a frog room at school. That's not
that big of a deal. But what you're gonna do next,
I don't know if I want to be a part
of it. Oh, you do want to be a part
of it, because I'm gonna open a portal, a rift
in another dimension. It's gonna hatch just a spirit of
this frog facts. Again, you're high on fast now. I

(11:17):
know you specifically said you don't want to play the
dungeon rooms because of because of past trauma and whatnot.
But everyone starts in the dungeon room. I mean, it's
just it's just the way that things go here. It's
a policy, and uh, you know that the other comics
that didn't complain if I've been the rules for a
celebrity such as yourself, well that's the thing. Everyone starts there,

(11:38):
but not everyone's a celebrity. So I think that we
can make some kind of agreement. No, I look, I
hear you, I hear you. My hands are tied here.
You gotta play the dungeon room. You did say if
there's some sort of creature that that might help, right,
I mean, listen tormenting you, But also protecting, but also protecting.

(12:01):
He's tormenting, but he's protecting and preferably a beast, you know,
like a beast like creature. Sorry, it's Tyler interrupt Um.
Just something I want to show you. Seems kind of weird.
There's a new Instagram account that was just started by
well by a dead frog starting a new comedy club

(12:23):
where I'm just saying that maybe you might want to
check it out. What's the handle Boin Goes. Boin Goes
is the comedy club or the Instagram accounts or that's
what I don't understand. It's a little straight and Boinles
sounds like a comedy club to me, not that that's
a good comedy club name Boin Goes. Anyway, I'm just
wanna I'm wanna need more frogs, okay, because this dead

(12:45):
frog is bloated and it's starting to stink. Infessor all right,
and we're gonna keep up appearances. Is if I get
a parade the frogs in here? Okay? So so so so,
so what do you want to do? The man? I
mean more frogs. We told need more than frogs and
where to get those? Every every science class? Look, I

(13:06):
can't give you guys any more dead frogs dressing. Dofer
has got sensors and all of them. She can track
them all. I gave you the one I can't give
you of army. We're not asking you man. Oh my god.
Is that a letter opener? Yes? Yeah, and he can
make any knows he wants when he opens that bad
boy up. Don't you mess with this or I you understand? Alright, alright, alright,

(13:27):
but I gotta do it casually a couple of a time.
I mean I can't a couple out of times I asked.
I need truckloads. And listen, you're gonna get your time.
You're gonna you're gonna be pat You're gonna you're not
gonna be an open micro anymore. Okay, Mrs Door for yes,

ate it. But I don't know it just kind of
My frog is gone. My frog disappeared. Wait a second,
your frog disappeared. When did it disappear? My frog's going

Mrs Edward, there's more frogs missing. Today's the day we're

(14:17):
supposed to be pinning and slicing today, Edward, what do
you want me to do? I'm not sure. Just in
door from maybe we could find something else to dissect.
I'm not sure I can get all these frogs. There's
so many little dots on the censor. I can't track
them all down. Well, Jimmy's kind of like a weirdo.
We could probably pin him and dice him up, right, Jimmy,

(14:38):

(20:40):
you doing? Leave him alone? He's a performing stand up.
Neither one prepared, beauty and the place. I'm a sad heaven.

(21:02):
That was the and that's our first scene. Oh boy boy,
there must be something there that wasn't there before. Number two.
It's from Patreon, Alcmedia David Roger who wrote, Hello, this

(21:24):
is Marvin and room for em twelve love love, love
you all see a suggestion a family trip to the zoo,
or so they thought. Ok, I'm just gonna need to
see your I D. Well, I'm the only adults. So
here's my high tea. That was a really way weird

(21:47):
way to introduce yourself. Just you said you need to
see I D. These are children. Children don't carry I
D s have got one I D. Here you go,
just take it. I'm starting to think that they're actually adults,
adults kids. How many of you are over over twelve?
None of us? None of right, no, yeah, okay, so

(22:12):
just take my I D. Please, So once you come
with me looking at my dad's I D D. My kids,
those are my kids. I understand that. But we can't
have just anybody walking in here saying in some kind
of strange way, here's my idea. No one else has idea.
I mean, I'm assuming they're kids and they don't have

(22:32):
I D. The way you said it was just so
loaded and so and you hear me, uh huh. He
was just so loaded insane that we're gonna have to
process you all right, So right this way, right, this
is the process in the room. Please have a seat. Please,
somebody should be watching my kids. We're gonna stripe down
your arms and legs. It's just to be safe. Just everyone.

(22:54):
The wrist. I my fingers cut the ut the light
it are okay. Now you can't see me, but you
can hear me, right, yeah, yeah? What are you doing
you with those adult kids? They're not adults. They're under
eight teen. Okay, they're under eight teen, but they're over
child age. Okay, so they are okay, so they should

(23:16):
probably paying full price tickets, is that right? Please? My
fingers are turning purple. I can tell that right. Should
they be paying full price to see? We have a
a couple of them? Okay, alright, Bobby, lights back on. Please,
fingers are really purple. You're trapping you now, they're tingly.

(23:36):
Here's a couple of minutes ting it for free. I'm
giving the maps for free. There is a lama today.
They're only in comp for a short while to make
sure you pay the desk. Have you seen this guy
right here? His fingers are turning purple. Yeah, that's me
just on his wrist. I don't know his fingers are
turning purple. You ever see these mirrors, these two way mirrors. Yeah, yeah,
they were just wondered, like, uh, up of the mirrors?

(23:58):
Can they see can they see us? And kind like, um,
can of cut my no? Yes? Yes, um, but only
for the first time, so really doesn't count. It doesn't
really count because I've never actually done it before. But
I think it counts more if you're high for the
first time. Okay, Well, sometimes someone gives you some gummies

(24:25):
to relax you, but it just kind of hypes you
out a little bit. You know, when you hear your
neighbor getting brutalized, you can't really sleep for a few days,
you know, so so then your best friend drives over
and says, this really helps me in times, you know,

(24:45):
sometimes have a hard time. So then they just give you,
like a little a little something chewy on. I saw
that on the news. It looked like from the reports,
they said, it would look like your name was tore
up by a beast or something. Yeah. Yeah, that that
that was the only thing that they could really um
even try to like explain it. You know, it's like this,
this doesn't look human, This looks messed up. Um, this

(25:07):
looks inhumane. And inhuman. So they break this guy, yet
he still uh still tied in. I still thought in
his fingers with turning purple doesn't make sense to me.
It's it's a whole risk job. But you know, yeah,
I brought you guys some mackerel that you know you've
been in here for a while. Thank you. The funny

(25:29):
thing is that we don't have fingers, so like I
don't know, you know what I mean, Like if you
tied us, we we know what would get purple. It's
the bottom of our flippers questions, So we don't really
step right up, step right up, Children of old ages,
the travel like Lama exhibit here at this zoom for
two nights only, and then we gotta get back on

(25:50):
the road. Lamas from South America. They're not alpacas, they're
not vacubias. There are two lamas right up? Dad, can't we? Dad?
Can we? Well? I was told this is something we
can We're gonna see the lamas. We're gonna see the lamas.
It's just that I've been told that we gotta pay
full price. Let me just look at the Okay, you

(26:12):
guys are just we'll just go for adults and at
the pricing board. My friend. Uh yeah, I just it's
just that I need three adult tickets, I guess, but
I don't really do see it's three adult ideas. Well,

(26:37):
adults are half price with a buddy. Buddy, Yeah, buddy,

(27:00):
old he's seventeen and a half. Jeez, he's Harry's Hill.
Yeah he I don't know what side of the family
that comes from anyway, not dad, I'm sorry, trying to
do a business transaction. Yes, maybe we should just go

(27:21):
we get carded and have to pay admission that every
animal we go to. No, no, no, no, I've got
a I got a good solution. Just stick with your
brothers for a second. Alright, I'll go to dad. I
don't think you're supposed to smoke in here. I don't
think anybody's I just want to put it on the
record that I said before I didn't wasn't interested in

(27:42):
the llama's case, I actually very much. So Okay, that's
a lot of tickets. Okay, okay, alright, co simply brothers.
Go see with the brothers. Alright, I need four fake
I D s. I can do that. I can do that.
Wre I blame, all right, But first things first, let

(28:03):

bringing in the sales that you promised. They would bring in.
And look, this is a business first and foremost. You
understand me. Understood, understood, friend. Look, the lamas don't do tricks.

(29:07):
They're not tradeable. They just sit there and eat. Hey, look,
if you don't bring in the percentage you promised, you know,
I'm gonna have to fulfill the promise I made in
the contract, the Lama contract I recalled the Lama contract.

great time. We're not having We all agree, Dad, Yeah,

(36:58):
sometimes we've got to make sacrifice. And sometimes even if
you don't like doing something, sometimes you just do it
because family are a family. Can we see your idea? Dad?
I mean current? This is the most current I have. Listen, kids,
I know you don't look a lot like me, but

(37:20):
your mom and I have been together since you were born.
It must be that i'm your your father. It must
be We've celebrated every birthday, every Christmas, every holiday. Here's
my high d Look. Look, you keep telling us that,
but I have no memory of any of that stuff.
You don't yet I can't read what this says. Yet.

(37:41):
You cannot be smoking in my car? Okay, I have
sensitive lungs. Please please tell me what to do. I
know exactly what. Okay, don't put that next to my dad, Dad.

seven and a half. I'm thirty seven and three quarters.

(38:10):
Look at me. Look at me, I'm the dad. Now
look at that. Now, Dad, I'm hungry as a wonderful
Alpalca diner around the corner. Okay, great, let me just
see somebody so can let you pop into the is
you real quick? I don't know why we came back here,
but there you go. All right? Okay, and your birth

(38:36):
SI for September just processed me already. Number two, our
final stage. It's from Anthony, who wrote, Hello people, I
have seen suggestion guy who mixes up the words corrugated

(38:58):
and coral did frequently. Thanks, your show is funny. Well
you can see how they're you know, both the ideas
are corrugated, so it's not it's not that hard to understand.
But you know, you know, I wanted what what do
you mean? What do you mean the ideas are corrugated?
I mean that if we're talking about integrating marketing and uh,

(39:22):
you know production. You know, we're trying to get those
two uh just reinforced cardboard. What reinforced cardboard? So it
corrugated corrugated cardboard. Yeah, m hm, no, they're I mean
they're connect trying to go with your analogy, well, I
mean similar to being is it similar to being perforated?

(39:45):
You're saying we can, we can kind of that's core larked.
So it's correlated. That's correlated. Okay, So that's that's what
I want to do. So I want to bridge these
do because they are they are they are corrugated, right,
I mean it might seem not so on paper, but
really in practice, they're they're they're doing the same thing, right,

(40:06):
We're both trying to promote. We're both trying to push
all right, inside socks, and that's the whole thing. Marketing's
got inside socks are doing all the you know, productions
got inside socks are doing everything over there. But why
not bridge the two? Right? Why not? Why not be
able to look, we know we have an incredible product.
Oh no, Hanson, did you lose another job again? I'm

(40:32):
I'm feed you know, I don't have the wherewith all
of my body to go and and do this for myself.
I need my son's help. I know, Mama, I know,
I'll hope you. I promise that. Well, okay, I'll feed you.
I'll feed you. I'll feed you as much food as

(40:53):
you want. All the llamas in the world you can eat.
I just want omeal I'm a simple gal. Yeah, I
just I could. The only thought of that, the most
you know, exquisite meal or the most Hey, Hanson, look,
we can't allow you into the grocery store anymore. Already.

(41:14):
Well we've already caught you shop looking three times and
management I told you I felt okay, and then those
those things just got into my jacket. I can't explain it. It's,
if anything, there's a there's some kind of curse on
you when I went to high school together. Man, I
like you. You're cool, but I can't let you in
here anymore. Can you see that there's a there's a

(41:38):
what can I get a job here? I mean, look,
you're lucky the owners in today. This is hell. Mary.
If you asked me, but you want to talk to
the dead frog, you can talk to the dead frog.
I really appreciate him, and thank you so much. Thank you, man.
I promise you I'm not gonna let you down, all right, don't.

Thank you for this opportunity to get off of me. Dude,

(42:00):
thank you. I just want to say, thank you so much, man,
Thank you. My mom My mom's just tied up in
his chair. She's not able to move like that stuff.
I'm trying to try to run a grocery store. Yeah,
uh um. We have a gentleman here who's looking for
a job. I don't know if there's any positions available
for him. Wait a minute, I know that guy you

(42:21):
saw from me, Oh, sir. To be fair, I fell
on it. There's a dimensional rift. There's the curse on
this grocery store. I think we can all agree, okay,
Dan Bryce in the curse on this grocery store from
the ghost of Michigan Jay Frog living in an alternate dimension.
There's infinite versions of me running different types of businesses

(42:42):
and different dimensions. And yeah, until I find closure in
this world, I can't ascend to the next life. But
that's what I want to help you do, sir, because
I mean, I've just being honest as a customer walking
around your displays with registers. I think there's a corrugation there.
I think we're able to integrate a corregation. I'm just
an old crone. I'm not going to put a hex

(43:05):
on this establishment. I just need to get my groceries.
Please let me just let me shop and peace, ma'am, ma'am.
I can't be more clear about this. You gotta get
the hell off property, all right, please, sir. I've already
been outlawed disband from most bodegas. This is the only
option that I have, which, oh God, my good. Okay.

(43:34):
A good portion of our clientele are fairy tale or
otherwise fantastical beings, okay, and they're just there to get
their damn groceries, all right. Because you kicked her out,
she is going to place a hex on the store.
I knew it. God, I knew it, Sir, I knew it.
I knew she was gonna curse this place well because
of you. She is. If you just let her get her,

(43:56):
you know, cans of chili that she's lead again and
always be doesn't mean I know. I'm so sorry, sir,
I bring these curses. I don't know what to see
I'm a curse boy. One more shot. Okay, well, thank you,
thank you so much, sir, I thank you. Hey, Hansen. Um,

(44:17):
so the boss gave me an address and cash to
drive you just in place somebody there. It's just I
don't know. I don't know. You said it yourself. You're
a curse boy, right yeah, okay, So this person is
supposed to help remove the curse. And by that, I

(44:40):
mean you're gonna probably kill this person and their soul
is gonna be able to go and I don't I
don't know. Just be clear. Why is this? So just
be clear about it. Well, here's the address. I don't know.
There's a guy sitting in there. You probably know what
to do. I don't want to shoot this guy or
what what? Hey? Come on? Uh okay, uh does this

(45:05):
