He's one of those guys. But then I'm starting to
appreciate that. I'm starting to appreciate that. It's a nice connection. Yeah. Man,

All right, Well, thank you for all of that, I say,
I vote yes. Oh my goodness. There's Jackie d Ruthie
Ballroom Brawler. Do you in fact love to dance? Oh yes,
I love to dance so much. I started taking dance

(01:30):
classes in college. Um. I started watching So you think
you can dance? In high school. I was like, I've
got to do that. I have to express myself with
my body, and so I started taking these classes that
were like for professional people and I was quite bad.

thank you for that. And now Craigkowsky with his books
on tape review corner. Okay, okay, I got David Foster
Wallace is infinite jest on forty five cassette tapes. Can
I'm not wait to start listening to this. I've literally
been meaning to get to this novel, and this way,

(02:54):
I don't need to read it. I just know a
list of the tapes and then you've got to switch
out the tapes whatever. It goes to the footnotes and
then back to the regular body of the book. Just
trying to find a cassette player player. There's gotta be
one around here. They did offer it on c D,
but I wanted the real thing. Send your cassette player

(03:15):
to Craig Accoukey, care of Joey Greer at Elm Street,
Los Angeles, California. Nine oh and last, but no rubber
maid rubbers for you. If you think of least, it's
Gary Anthony Williams. It's a pleasure an American place. And
I like Jackie d I too have to express myself

(03:36):
with my body. Yeah, I have. I have to. I
feel like it's different than dancing. Tell us why you
would be the best damn bank teller we've ever hired,
because I care a lot of times. When you walk
into a bank, they care about one thing, and that's
that's your money only. And I owe, I actually owe

(03:59):
the banks. And I never told this story before, and
it's gonna be less than ten seconds. The way that
I established credit, no joke, no joys. I helped catch
a bank robber in Atlanta, Georgia. That is how the
bank helped me. The bank and the FBI helped me
established credit. So I I owe that I recommend that
I do not. I don't recommend that route. I recommend

(04:21):
the best way to establish credit is be born white.
I do recommend that I recommend that it comes with
I think the first bag of diapers. All right, all

In the meantime, he goes on an idea struck my
fancy and really tickled my pink. Hold up capital M

(05:32):
capital e asterisk pink. Anybody what that could mean? Circled
to me? Pink tickled me pink. I'd get that, but

that way. Okay, here's the deal. I want all the
cryptocurrency you have, and I want you to put it

(08:02):
in this bag. Now, let me explain to you what
crypto currency actually means. I could tell you all these
kinds of money with skulls on it, that's right, and
so it's very difficult to purse inside of the back.
But well, wow, this is G. Thompson with the eleven

(08:23):
o'clock news. Today a bank of America was unsuccessfully robbed
of cryptocurrency. We have the bank manager with us here
today and the other bank manager who refuses to be
called the bank manager bank managers. The fellow came in
asking for again I've never heard this term before. Crypt crypt.

(08:47):
I can't even get it out. Currency. That's right, but
apparently your bank doesn't actually carry still and we are
specialize in coins, and well, that is an amazing story.

(09:07):
I just waved to my wife, who, of course you can't.
Everybody to take time to wave to their spouses. But
if I don't have a spouse, can I just wave?
Can I just wave to my mom? A beautiful lady
like you doesn't have a spot. Don't, don't, don't. We'll

(09:29):
be back right after this word. What are you doing?
You know you don't just cut the segment because you
want to go talk to go on? Did you see
have you seen her? Did you see her? She seems
particularly insignificant to me. If I'm being honesty that one
more time, I don't want. I'd rather not because I
feel like you're gonna get mad at me and hurt me. Yeah,

(09:50):
if you had said it again, I would be angry
with you here. So what your plan? Are you gonna
leave the studio hop on down to the bank to
pick up Tina? What? What? What's your plan here? Gee?
I would like to My mother left me a ring
on her deathbed. This was just yesterday, she said, She said, son,
I hope you find someone beautiful that you can marry.

(10:11):
This is yesterday and today she walked into this. Fine, fine, fine,
but she you gotta take a camera crew with you,
and this has to be a story. Of course. I'm
a newsman. I get it all right, God speed, Thank
you believing God. Huh, what's up? Did you get the

(10:35):
cryptocurrency from the bank, man? Um? Well, no, because it's crypto,
so I just kind of signed up on my computer. Um,
so I didn't get it. I didn't get it from
the bank. So I'm going to have to owe you again.
Just another month, just one another month. Hey, look, your
rate is do you do? And I have it? I

(10:56):
have it, but I have it in cryptocurrency, so it's
it's a little tricky, so tricky to get it to you.
I'm sure I could transfer it to you if you
also had a crypto account, but you don't, so that's
really your problem. If you were to set up that account,
I could easily transfer to you. But since you don't
have that, we're gonna have to wait another month for
me to figure out how to make it crypto from

(11:16):
crypto to uh hard. Oh, m crypto. All right, only
because of your gentle style and your way with language,
am I going to allow you to have another month.

Wat's this? What happened to your brother? He just fell
to the floor. He's bleeding. Um. You threw the dice

(24:56):
right through his heart and it opened up. Um? Should

but I honestly of healing. Maybe that would work. Okay,
I'm looking through the book. Okay, I'm looking through the book.
I don't see anything about actual Honestly, guys, Brandon's a

(25:18):
bad guy. This could be a blessing in disguise. He's
really mean, Charlie, I don't. Will you look to your
brother's hole in his chest? Do you see a flowery
world in there with rainbows and stuff? Is that usually there? Um?
I've never opened up his chest before, and I'm honestly
surprised to see that it does look so bright and

(25:39):
happy because he's got it dark. In my opinion, he's
got a darkness within well, Daryl. Yes, sir madam, welcome
to sha What what? Maybe? What? Maybe start you off
with this evening? Yeah? Honey, you want to drink or something?

(25:59):
I'm sorry, I was speaking to you or your wife?
What may we start off with this evening? Mum? Why
would you put it that way? Honey? You want something
to drink? Oh? Wow, wow, sir, you're being a real
ass right now. I was asking. I was asking you
or your wife what would you have this evening? Uh?
And uh, suddenly you're speaking to her instead of me.

(26:22):
I'm talking right at you. Okay, yes, please? Is there
a manager or someone we can talk to this? Certainly? Yes,
hold on this one second. Thank you very much, sir,
you're welcome. I think at this point maybe we don't
want to eat your honey, because, no matter what happens next,
I'm not going to trust your food is not spitting. Okay,
I'll tell you what's gonna happen next. I'm gonna he's
gonna bring a manager back, and I'm gonna choke them

(26:44):
both about that. I'm the manager. Oh Jesus, uh yeah, Hi.
So your waiter here was given some lips in front
of my wife and I'm offended, and i'd like our
meal comped tonight. Well, let me wave my wand and

(27:04):
bank account has been cleared. I just got a message
from BA and it says we got zilch left in
the account. Okay, all right, nobody panics. So based on
the moves we've made, Darryl, any time you make a move,
something in the real world changes. That's strange. What do

(27:27):
you what do you mean? Hold on? My mom's calling? Yeah, my,
um so we need you to ford a stupe then
mo right now, could you friend my mommy? Just hold
on just a second. Let's prove a point. Then if
what you say is true, if I rolled the dice

(27:48):
of prosperity, then my mom will be rich. Right, that's
how it should work. Stop looking at Charlie, Charlie, blow
my die for me. Roll seventeen pretty good. Oh that's
a solid. Look at this. Look at these diamonds. Honey,

(28:10):
Oh my god, come from I don't know. I gotta go.
Hell is happening? Didn't you call your mom to talk
to her about something? She didn't call you, I don't remember.
I think she called to ask for money. Oh yeah, yeah,
called me, called her sense because your head not in

(28:36):
the game, Charlie, you're over here, la la lamb staring
at Darryl, and it's getting annoying. Jake's really upset you, Jake,
are you upset? Totally upset? We've got an army of
goblins when you to defeat guys. I understand my bad
all right? Next up, like we can't deny, Like how

(28:56):
fucking dope his rolling skills are. And like you think
things are going on just outside in the world, whenever
he rolls, things are happening in my body. Whenever he rolls.
She's got to express herself through her body. Yeah, just
expressing myself through my body. Well, coincidentally, Jake is rolling

(29:19):
next and he's rolling for closet time. That means whatever
he rolls, that's how many minutes Charlie and Darrell to
spend in the closet. Okay, you're a weird DM. Man.
Charlie was rolling for time with me in the closet,
and I thought, I don't want to go with the

(29:41):
closet with you. I really just think we should leave
this restaurant. I'm the second manager. I'm another manager. I
understand that you weren't happy with what the first manager
how he handled it, but I'm also the manager here.
So you look like I'm sorry, but I hate to

(30:03):
say this, but so far we've felt you look like
a lizard. Man. I just there, I said, I'm actually
a frog, very different. We've got lizards that are reptiles
and frogs that are amphibians. Either way, I can relate
to you. Were just two married women, aren't we. Okay,
excuse me, miss frog. Honey guy, I'm gonna choke Tina.

(30:29):
In the second, I'm gonna choke out the frog, and
I'm gonna choke out the manager. And in the way, okay,
the frog is also the manager. There's two managers. Um,
there's two managers. Sorry, I was listening to you know,
I appreciate that, Tina. You care about it all? Right,
come out, your time is done. Come out, Jake? What
are they doing in there? I don't want it all?

(30:51):
Why not? How aren't you curious? Let them have their closet.
Time is private. You're the per s DM I've ever had.
All they're asking is how is what they're doing in
there affecting what's happening in the real world. Aren't you
curious about that? So wait, you're saying that them making

(31:13):
out the closet is Jamaji style causing something that happened
out there in the world. I don't know. Maybe, but
first of all, I just assuming they are even making out.
I don't think Darrel's even kissed before. I haven't heard
a thing. Let me listen. No, I don't hear anything.
Maybe maybe there's a hole with the back of a wardrobe.

(31:37):
So you tell me there's not only a hole in
Brandon's chest, but there's also a hole in the back
of the wardrobe. Yes, and we haven't explored any of
these possible worlds that have opened up. What are you
think is gonna happen? Because to see how long people
going to the closet. All right, Jake, we've been on
this campaign for weeks. Bro new idea, new idea. Let's

(31:58):
roll to see how long? All right, yeah, I'll roll
and however many minutes it is, is is how long we
have to hug and her noses to touch hug you? Man?
I just wanted to Jake come into my office, please, Son?
What is it? Father? I don't like it when you

(32:20):
take that tone with me, but I done. I respect
you for it is what I was saying. Son, I
got a call from the neighbors that said you were
over their house last night, rolling die and touching noses.
Is that? Yeah? That sounds pretty accurate, right. So I'm

(32:44):
gonna read to you from a book called There's No
there's no title, book no title. Yes, it's just it's
not mysterious. Done. That's the problem all you kids keep
looking for alternate meanings in something. It is what it is.

(33:09):
I'm done reading. I yes, yes, I read it. Um
Darryl Charlie's frowly. No. Jake went home and it's getting late,
so we're still in the closet. Can you just let
us just let us do be? So what's it like

(33:29):
in there? Are you seeing anything that's different than normal life?
Stop being real pervy right now? Well, can I watch you? No? No,
you did this to yourself? Are you guys not being
nice to all of your friends? All the friends are
supposed to be treated the same way. Open that door,

(33:51):
Open that door. They're happy. Ma oh, by goodness. Now,
like a friend in the closet with you two. Okay,
that's not funny to just have a friend come over
while you're having fun in the closet. Okay, as somebody

(34:14):
at the door street hod, I'm gonna get that. Okay,
I'll go with you. I'll go with you to the door.
You guys behave together. Okay. Hey, we're we're a thousand
goblins that have somehow been manifested into this world. But
we're we're we're just out here waiting for something to happen.
Get my gun. I mean, there was such a build up,

(34:36):
there was such a build up, we thought for sure
something would happen. Right, So you say you're goblins? Wait,
wait quick, clearly we're goblins. Were an army of goblins.
I've never seen one before, my mistake, and you're new
in town. Is that what I'm picking up? We got
manifestated in this world. Okay, look, is there somebody here

(34:57):
that has access to some kind of alternate dimension? Yeah,
that's the Johnson's next story. You want to go to
that place? Okay? Because we thought somebody's playing a board game,
and then like j style, like, there's no children in
here playing some streakout game. Kids, So why didn't you

(35:23):
just answer us? I mean we were talking to you,
and you instead you're talking to your wife. You should
have just told us. Yet. All right, come on and
the kids are in the back road. Thank you. We've
got about eleven years. You've got a good deal. Look,
all I'm saying is I feel like the only thing
that's changed is you two are in love and no

(35:44):
one likes me. Well, really, the only thing that's changed
is we're in love. We're in love. You've never liked me.
I mean that you're You've got a cool house, and
you bring the game, so we like that. No, I understand.

(36:06):
I guess I'm just gonna head out. Then hey wait wait, wait, wait,
wait before you go here, my mother gave me this
special die when I was four years old. It was
my very first d in d die. I want you
to have it. Why don't you give it to your girlfriend? Hey,
I've given my girlfriend a lot more than that. Multiple

(36:30):
what's that? What's that noise? Like someone's coming up the stairs.
I don't know. Maybe it's the cops looking for your
dead brother. Oh ship, we want to hide that body
seem to Oh no, oh god. See three. He comes

(36:56):
to patron v I p. Robert william I see you
guys have a new email address, which leads me to
conclude somebody opened up some naughty spam and accidentally ruined
the inbox for everyone. Maybe next time, don't open the
emails promising a bigger, longer, stiffer penis, which brings me

(37:18):
to my scene suggestion, bigger, longer, stiffer spam all the best,
it seems to be the problem, sir, Well, my my
wife purchased this spam here just I don't know, it
says on the receipt on Friday, and it's it's not
the right texture here with your fingers and spam to

(37:44):
be You know about the consistency of I don't like
when you poke a baby. You know, I never put
those two things together, but you're right, it's very similar
to poking the baby. Yeah, so I'd like to exchange this.
It's it's the bulk version, the long came spam, and
it's a way too stiff and hard. I sing, ye,

(38:05):
let me you have a credit card that you use
them for the purchase. I don't have it with me
because that's my wife's but you can see on the receipt.
But I'll just take cash back for you know what.
Hold on a second, I could probably just get my
wife's card. Let me call her on the phone. Did
you mind ever help the folks behind you while you
work if you must, But like this shouldn't take long.
I'll be on the phone with my to the right

(38:27):
a little bit. Yeah, you know, buddy, I don't mind
if he makes a phone call to his wife. I'll
wait on my spam. That's foinoing me. Okay, the way
he's following me, my man, she said hard. She'll run
it in in a second. Yeah, I got a day, brother,
I got all day. I know that I'm only I
know I'm two people behind, but I don't have all day. Yeah,

(38:47):
let's help this lady out. She's going to go ahead
and go up, then I'd rather go ahead and take
my turn. Then I would already be done if we
didn't get help. This play both sides of this, sir.
I'm going to help up the lady now if you
don't stand to the right. Okay. Well, for the record,
this place sell stiff spam. Okay, this is a stiff
spam selling spot. Now we lost one. That's a shame. Yes, ma'am.

(39:12):
How can I be of service? I just needed to
buy this acid tone and I was also looking for um. Ham. Sure,
I know you've got an aisle ful of spam I needed.
I didn't see any Ham. You did not see him
kind of Ham, would you like? I want smushy ass Ham.

(39:32):
I want it to be very, very mushy, almost like
the consistency of cottage cheese. Alright, so Ham, Yeah, I
got a feeling she doesn't realize what spam is, ma'am.
Spam sp a in this similar proportions as me. It's
pretty much what you're looking for. Just well, I'm looking
for Ham, and I'm looking for it to be smushy

(39:53):
ass Ham, and all I'm seeing is long, hard, stiff spam.
Oh boy, And what I would like is smushy ass Ham. Okay,
but thank you for telling me what I'm looking for Oh, oh,
here we go, Here we go, here, yeah, here we go.
You want to go, Doris? Did you tell the man?

(40:14):
Did you speak up to the man? You say, I did?
You know? Because I am done being rolled over? I
am done. I am there to be Doris. I'm Doris, baby.
That's the thing about man to this trifling ass ones
to roll over you ladies? Which floor? Which floor are
you going to? How about all of them? None of

(40:37):
your business. Actually, we'll get off exactly when we need
to because we're not idiots. We're not idiots, and you
can't help us get all you gave him. You know,
I get off faster when I helped myself. Those left
the sofa's pet. So hey, buddy, excuse me? Did you

(41:00):
just poke my baby? It's I I'm just testing. I
just wanted to poke my baby. I apologize. It doesn't
seem like it bothered the baby. So all's well, that
ends swell. Well, you woke him up a little bit.
Well why would you do that? You don't even know me. Well,
I just want to make sure I'm not crazy. Okay,

(41:21):
I've got this kind of spam, and I always know
that a good spam has the consistency of a poked baby,
and I've I've gone through. This is the third can
of spam, and this year is very hard. But I'm
wondering if it's me. It's changed here poking pok it.
I'm not gonna eat it anyway, it's just poking, Darryl.
I've been trying to get the baby to sleep, but

(41:42):
it seems like he must have been awake a little
bit all day long. What the hell is going on here?
Yes he was, but look, I gotta tell you this
was an interesting experiment that that this random guy I
met on the street engaged me in and look, I've
got a can of spam here and I've got the

(42:02):
baby here. Poked them both. Doris was right, No, Doris
is crazy. Okay, thank you for everybody for coming to
this meeting at the Spam Quarters headquarters. We're gonna do
a quick roll call jan Dan Man Man, You're gonna

(42:28):
have to give us a name at some point. Anyway,
that's enough for now. Now listen you. As you all know,
we are in direct competition with email dot com. Okay,
so we need to rebrand the spam if you know
what I mean. If they want to come harder. We
can go harder. You know they want to get dirty,
We can go dirty. Dan, you got some dirty thoughts.
I want to call it GOP. Can we call it Google? Oh? Google, Google?

(42:51):
I am writing that down Google. Okay, anybody are there
at this point? Are there any bad ideas? Good question?
They ain't bad idea? What's what was that funny ding?
But because you know, people would be doing a meeting
and then they'll just say they're no bad ideas, and
then somebody have a bad idea. But the guy just

(43:13):
said there's no bad ideas, so you like, there's no
bad ideas. Thank you for explaining that. Now, Man, are
you asking because you have an idea or you just
asking if there are any bad idea? I have an idea,
but I think it's not great, So I'm just I
want to see if you're one of those guys that
he would you understand that we are indirect competition with
email dot com? I mean, sure, idea. Do you understand

(43:34):
the stronghold they've taken over the word spam? Yes? Then
I think if you know those two things, your idea
is going to be perfectly valid. Let's hear it, spam
mail dot com. Okay, alright, Email dot com executives, let
me just make sure everybody's here. Email Gail, gil kil

(43:59):
cal Hel, what's up? Okay for me? You're not gonna
ask for mail. You're not gonna ask for mail. Is
that we need to get support mail I supposed to
tell you Ishmael is actually out this week. But well, okay,

(44:23):
spam has thrown down, Spam has thrown down losers. Uh,
and we've got to respond. We've got to respond there's
no bad ideas. That's what that was going to be
my first question. All right, um, look, we think it's

(44:43):
very healthy that representative from each of the company do
the do the debate. So we have mail from email
dot com and man from spam. So okay, yea and
eminence for the debta did you just want us? Because
I know blood, no blood, no eyes, no growing areas.

(45:06):
Are there any bad parameters in the bad parameters? Because
like if it was a mean right, and he started
out the meaning saying there's no bad ideas because you're
starting this out it's like a meeting, but there's parameters.
He's wanting to visit the bad parameters because people used
to say there's no bad meeting bad christs. I know

(45:30):
it's it's so unlikely, but these debates that they're hosting
on showing up on this CTV, it is absolutely it
turns out riveting. They're allows versus male. I've been watching
these man versus mail debates for for weeks. It's amazing
how blood It's not just a debate, it's also the

(45:50):
hand to hand combat and often with uh, you know
violent Uh what are they called tools? Not tools? Yeah? No,
I know what of me? I've been watching it. Doris,
Doris lost its First of all, you should not have
been talking to a trifling man trying to use their
weapon when you know that women don't use. Yes, but

(46:12):
you don't have to. Don't think yourself to their level.
Why we're at the top, Cane will tell you what
we want to get off the elevator. We will say
when you when you can push out a button. We'll
tell you when to push out a button until the end.
Don't push out a buttons. Thank you very well. Listen,
this is why I need you in my life, because

(46:34):
you know the words that I literally can't even get
out of my goddamn mouse. They in there, girl, But
you don't need to let them out. You know what
I'm saying. It was like, have you ever had? Okay, okay,
I think we can all be happy with this. We
have now joined forces with email, dot com and spam
to make a product that the world has yet to see.

(46:58):
I think this is where we've been headed, everybody, and
I'm happy for this new day. Yeah. Please, she can
go first before me? Women, women who women and children first.
I'd like to say we. I mean, you rose your
hand first, so I rose to say, if it is
a lady who's going to speak, i'd like heard ago first.
That was that was the reason for your hand raising?
Very well, yes, ma'am. And I was just gonna say,

(47:21):
if there are no bad ideas at this point? Are
there bad ideas at this point? You're going to say,
if there are there are no bad ideas at this point,
then as we merge, I think that they should really
be investing in. Before you say your point, ma'am, he
has his hand raised now. Since he was the first
person to raise his hand before you, I think it's

(47:41):
just fair to hear him out. I think I think
nobody's going to be happy about what I have to say.
Let's okay, um, I was just gonna say, I think,
now that our powers have come bined, what the best
thing to focus our minds and our energy on is
turning crypto to hard oh, because actually no one has

(48:03):
actually cornered that market and we together can I gotta
put my handback up, And this time is to speak
for myself. I know this whole spam email thing, but
now I just found out that the Keebler Cookie Company
has gone in with with with Molti Media Company and

(48:23):
then now making Insta Graham Crackers. And I think, excuse me, no,
I waited in this line earlier. I just need to
get a card. Excuse me, excuse me, sorry, sir ya back,
thank you. This is my wife's card, and i'd like
the long the long firm s brought his wife's credit

(48:48):
card because apparently he doesn't have one. Oh, I have one,
it's just not the car that was on there. But nonetheless,
what I'm looking for is a real loose something like
baby touch spam. Well, actually, now I am going I
want it further. I want something with an even looser
consistency than liver sausage with a spam flavor, like really

(49:09):
running meat, ma'am, sir, do you know that you're in
a bath? Oh? Bye, okay, it's go ahead. I'm sorry.
I just thought I would insult all men and women
in one fell through. Do you realize you're in a
bed bathroom? Bon? Oh my god, I did not what
it was she thinking searching for meat at a bed bathroom?

(49:31):
Beyond Look, I know we got to a rocky start.
I was your elevator man, but I'm glad that you
haven't invited me out to dinner, both of you. Both
of you and suggest the smoshy ass ham. May I
suggest because it's very good here and dorith Normally I
would not disagree with you. I'm going to suggest the
running ham. Then through a straw you can suck it.

(49:57):
You know how some meats fall off the bone. Yeah,
this is your throat. It literally falls down your throat,
through your entire elementary canal and then moves right out
of your body. Okay, so this is gonna happen, right, Huh.

(50:17):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. What was I don't I'm sorry,
I'm so sorry. This just into Channel five and Channel
eight news. This is g speaking with you. A man
was blunting to death by a can of bigger, longer,
stiffer spam. Today, two women were seen escaping the scene

(50:42):
by rubbing what is best described as running ham all
over their body and slipping out from underneath the crack
of the door. We'd like to have film and footage
for you at eleven, but I just realized film and
footage or the exact chame thing, and we'll have neither
back tomorrow morning. Well, it's it's great to get the

(51:03):
old D and D crew back at his funeral. I
always knew that guy would grow up to be a
total creep. Yeah, watching people, what if? What an absolute
cree And of course, of course two women are going
to kill him because they have the right, like they like.
He definitely provoked them. Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, I'm married.

(51:27):
One of the goblins. Will ever tell you that. Yeah,
we actually got divorced. We've actually but we're still friends.
Were we're better friends than we were married, and then
we were friends before we were married. I don't care.
I didn't care then, I don't I don't care now.
But we care. That's the whole point, Like we seriously,

(51:48):
we really care about this is spread for everybody. By
the way, it is for anybody, just spread for anybody
who dares to to retain and grab them. Yeah what
Darren meat to grab a snack at the funeral? Okay,
so this is d N D double D Dare we
double and dare you to grab a snack at the funeral? Yeah? Yeah,
no problem with what I love? Well, what the fuck? Well,

it's just like my dad told me. My dad told
me when I was a kid son, Someday you're gonna
fall in love with the manifestation. Whatever you do, don't
let them eat not in front of you. Make sure
they turned that back to you and eat in private,
same way a wild dog does. So it'll take the
meat from your hand, but it will turn away from

(52:42):
you to Sorry by ear buds and dad, what were
you saying? Fuck off? That's our show, Oh mommy, make
it stop. I want to thank all of our alchemists
