Speaker 1 (00:02):
It's eleven fifty eight pm back in Roswell, New Mexico,
and you're listening to Night Call. Hello, and welcome tonight Call,

(00:28):
a call in show for our dystopian reality. I'm Emily Oshida.
I am in Charlotte, North Carolina, and with me on
the other line are Molly Lambert and Teslaly and shere
in l A. Hello, Hi, guys. This is the Night
Call Finale spectacular. We have a lot of stuff planned

(00:50):
for this episode, a lot of calls, more calls than ever. Um.
It's We've got so much feedback from you guys after
we announced that we were ending the show, and it,
you know, really moved all of us. We were very
grateful to all of the calls, all the emails we
got from everybody, and so this episode is dedicated to y'all.

(01:15):
We love you guys, and we're this has been such
an adventure and such your ride to do this podcast,
and so we want to send it off into the
night proper. How you guys feeling, Um, you know, I
think it was such a great idea to do a
call in show, and I think Emily, that was maybe

(01:35):
your idea. I don't know if I would ever want
to do a podcast that didn't have call ins, because
one of the coolest things about this show has been
that we have gotten to know so many people, Like
we got calls from all over the globe, we got
serialized ghost stories, true ghost stories, which we'll talk more

(01:56):
about later. And I just think we have a really
amazing group of listeners who have supported this show and
it's it's really fun to have gotten to know them
and we will take you with us. Yeah, this show
has been like a magnet for like such a specific
kind of weirdo, a tune to our our collective frequencies
that the people that we've heard from, the people that

(02:18):
we've met at live events, like all of the above
has just been I don't know, it's it feels like
a very special and unique little thing that happened, and
I don't know, I'm very grateful that it happened. It
was almost three years three years in February, Yeah, our
first episode. I have to scroll the way back in
my iTunes. H Yeah, February was the debut night call episode.

(02:43):
So yeah, where did the time go? I mean, especially
in the last few months, like it could have been
five years. Who knows. I feel like we've just been
doing a podcast for like just an infinite amount of time,
and then sometimes the frequency tunes in. There was always
a podcast there. Um. Yeah, So we are going to

(03:05):
play a lot of your calls this week, and we'll
still take some of your questions. We're still answering questions
on here. Um. So yeah, do you guys wanna do
you guys want to open up the voicemail bag? Let's
do it. Let's do it, high ladies, um, it's talent.
I just wanted to call and say congratulations on a

(03:28):
great run. I am going to miss the podcast very
very much, but I know that you know it's happening.
This is happening for a reason, and I'm really excited
to um see whatever you are all up to it next.
And I do have a question about an important topic

(03:51):
to me, UM that I need y'all's perspective on, which
is what show is better, Cheers or Frasier, because I
watched all of Cheers from like March two. I don't
really know when I finished, maybe like Junior July um

(04:13):
earlier this year, and I haven't really been able to
get into Fraser in the same way. Obviously, there are
quite different shows, even if one is you know, a
spinoff of the other. And so I wanted to know, Um,
for your money, which is better and why? Yeah, that's

(04:37):
about it. So UM, take good care and thank you
for the fun fun times by the question for the question, honestly,
I know, I feel like maybe we've been always tiptoeing
around this question because we're too cowardly to answer it. Um.
I think Cheers is better. Um, no question, Cheers is

(05:00):
a better show and more beloved for a reason. I
don't think it would be possible for a spinoff to
surpass the original, although if anyone can think of any
counter examples, please let us know. There are a lot
of spinoffs that are like not really known as spinoffs,
that have their own life but like, and I feel

(05:21):
like Frasier is on on the cusp of that, Like
it's almost completely broken off from the host being even
looking at the Happy Days universe, like, we can all
agree that Happy Days is a more important show than
Mork and Mindy, Laverne and Shirley. They're like five other
Happy Days spinoff Joony loves Chacy, Mork and Mindy was

(05:44):
a Happy Days spinoff? Yes, really, yes, there's like an
episode where an alien comes to Happy Days, and it's
more what people were doing a lot of drugs in
I watched The Ship out of Work and Mindy everybody Mindy. Actually,
maybe I'm wrong, maybe more than Mindy is more beloved
than it's certainly beloved by the people it's beloved among. Ye. Anyway,

(06:08):
getting back to my point, I think Cheers is better
and and so you think it's better purely by the
rule of the original can never be surpassed by a
spin off or what are the quality specifically that you
think make it. I mean, I think Cheers is probably
just the best sitcom of all time. It's like very funny,

(06:28):
it's very dark. Sometimes it's very emotional. It's like before
sitcoms turned into like there's a hug and a lesson
at the end. Always it's like, because I didn't before
I saw it Cheers, I was like, why would anybody
watch a show about a bunch of alcoholics hanging out
in a bar? That sounds really depressing? And then I
lived on the East Coast and understood why people hang

(06:51):
out in bars. But also I watched Cheers almost like,
oh it knows it's depressing. It's a show about broken people,
and that's what makes it great. It's it's one of
those ones that you understand it more deeply, uh as
you get older, or it has more pathos as you
get older, because before it's just like grown ups hanging

(07:13):
out at a bar, which is a gross It seems
like fun. You could be friends with the mailman, that's right.
But yeah, I think Fraser is also a good show
on its own terms. And I think we all agree
that it's like more of a nostalgia thing necessarily than
that it's the greatest show of all time. Oh I
would disagree with that. I have a lot of nostalgia

(07:35):
for it. But I think in every revisit that I
do of Frasier, I'm impressed with how technically great it is. Okay, Fraser,
I mean I I'm just reminded of this treat that
Hello Cullen on Twitter, but he did the Street is.
I am a psychiatrist. I moved from Boston, where I

(07:56):
went to a bar every day, to Seattle, where I
don't go to no bars. I'm on the radio now,
even though I never did that before. How did I
get this job? How did I even hear about it um,
he doesn't go to a bar because he goes to
Cafe Nervosa. It's clearly a one to one swap, and
he like joined a wine club instead. He like, he

(08:18):
doesn't go to a dirty, you know, basement bar, and
he grew up more. Yeah, grew up, Emily. Would you
argue that it's that Frasier is better? I so better
is a hard thing to say. I think, well, there's
a lot. I think there's a bit more of Cheers
and there is a Frasier, and Cheers is just a
richer ensemble, like Cheers is more like there's truly something

(08:40):
for everybody in it, which I think is a really
good argument to make. It if not the best to
come of all time, at least a better to comm
than Fraser, Frasier is one note that is just like
really extremely well done and extremely itself and commits to
this bit and actually find like gets a lot of

(09:00):
mileage out of which like a lot of shows would
only get like a season out of, like you know,
it's fancy pants and more fancy pants versus cricket, cop
Dad and a dog. But I think, like I guess
in terms of like, I just think that Cheers could
never be replicated again. And I just think that Fraser

(09:23):
is something that is like the best version of something
that I wish happened more often, you know, And in sitcoms,
Fraser is like opera, yes, and that's why I love it. Uh,
it's just so silly. Yeah, And I love all the
like mistaken door knocking forest episodes at the ski Lodge.
It's very it hits those those nets. Yeah, Like I

(09:45):
grew up watching like Marx Brothers movies and stuff when
I was a kid. My mom was early into Mark's Brothers,
so we would like rent the vhs is from the library,
and so like getting into Frasier, which I also probably
was into at the same time, it just felt like,
you know, one led to the other and it's all
kind of borderline slapstick but still really verbally driven. I

(10:07):
don't know, I love Frasier a lot. I won't hesitate
to say it's better than Cheers, but I think I've
probably watched it more and that for whatever that story.
So yeah, okay, fine, I'm going to say it's better
than Cheers just to make it interesting. Yeah, come on,
take a stand. So that task has to be the
tiebreaker her favorite position to take. Oh god, um, here's

(10:29):
my my take on this is that Cheers is a
gumbo and Frasier is a consummate, and you can't ever choose.
You can't ever choose which is better because they belong
to entirely different moods and stages life. Good answer, I
thank you, diplomatic. Diplomatic as ever, I think like in general,

(10:51):
I go back to Cheers more because it has more
texture and more depth. But I agree with Emily that
Frasier is kind of like there there is something kind
of like operatic or whatever it's. It does it's things
so well, and it exceeds your expectations if your expectations
are that it will kind of like start to go

(11:12):
soft or whatever. It's like it doesn't ever disappoint in
the way that when I first started watching Frasier, I
was like, I'm going to be so sick of all
of these people. So I was kind of amazed. I
was like, Wow, they really hooked me. And it's like
it's an ambient vibe like it you know, it puts
you in a kind of alters your your state of
mind a little bit. I've been watching some star Trek

(11:34):
Next Generation with my mom out here, and it's like
I realized how much they're very similar design vibes too.
But the bridge of the enterprise, like the whole enterprise
and and Fisher's apartment are like so embedded in my
brain is just like a place I want to be mentally. Oh,
I was watching Girlfriends because it came on Netflix finally,

(11:56):
Um and Girlfriends. It's like so similar a Frasier in
many ways. Um, and it's produced by Kelsey Grammar, which
I had forgotten except then he comes in an episode
as himself. Jones was like, Wow, it's TV's Kelsey Grammar. Um,
but Jones house in Girlfriends that they spend all of

(12:20):
the time in the show in because it's like a
beautiful craftsman house in Pasadena that is owned by like
a twenty eight year old lawyer or whatever. Um in
wonderful sitcom logic. Uh, it reminds me so much of
Frasier's apartment. And then somebody was like, oh, well, they're
set designed by the same person. The person who did

(12:42):
the set design on Fraser also did the set design
on Girlfriends. And Girlfriends has a lot of also, just
like dinner Party Forest and stuff and slapstick. So that's
my other recommendation if you like Cheers and Fraser Watch Girlfriends. Well,
speaking of our favorite media h hobby horses of the eighties,

(13:03):
we also have a night email from Batia, who writes
to us, I can tell how much I'll miss the
podcast by the fact that, upon learning the following bit
of Big Chill trivia, y'all were the first people who
came to mind as the correct audience for it. So
before it's too late, here goes Lawrence Kasdin and Kathy
guys White have been friends going back to their time

(13:23):
together in Michigan, and she would regularly include references to
his movies and Kathy comics. So who in the Big
Chill is Kathy? It's got to be Meg, right. And
two is it too much of a stretch to say
that there's some crossover between the two, something about the
cognitive dissonance with regard to the adulthood you expected and
the one you have. This is completely new information to me,

(13:47):
So thank you, Batia. Yeah what, Yeah, this blew my mind.
I'm very surprised at this. This is also it's totally
like a college paper that one of us would have written, um,
right in this connecting will right, it would have been

(14:07):
like bourgeois affectations of baby boomers and like ac, yeah,
did you see a friend of the pot. Amy Nicholson
got this shirt that like, Kathy guy's wife has been
selling the dead stock of Kathy merchandise from her personal website,
which I tried to find. I need to text Amy

(14:28):
and find out where exactly this this is. But um,
these incredible vintage Kathy's shirts. She's still around the guys.
Why is an amazing person. So it totally made sense
to me that well, it's also interesting she and Laurence
Cason are like these people who yeah, they also like
they made their artistic hobby into their career and made

(14:50):
it like a profitable, real career. They are the big chill.
I watched a documentary for Grantland about comic strip people,
and she was featured in it, and I just found
out that Kathy was like a very pioneering comic strip
Like there were not a lot of comic strips written
by women. It was the Murphy Brown of the Sunday,

(15:12):
It truly was. And also I learned from the documentary
that she is like very skinny and pretty in real life,
and the comic is all like her projection of her
insecure self. Um, it seemed like she definitely struggled with
some eating issues, all stuff that you can get from
the comic. But you're like, oh, there's like a real

(15:34):
person in this comic who's very interesting and uh would
totally be a character in The Big Chill. Yeah. No,
she's um she was hot, Uh like very she looks
like she could just like walk into the kitchen and
Big Chill. She doesn't look like Kathy is look her up.

(15:57):
She looks like like the ultimate seventies woman in who's
totally like would be in The Big Chill. Um. So yeah,
I was like, I'm not surprised that she and Lawrence
Castin had a you know, a close friendship lived in
the co op together. Also, she's just like peak boomer.
She was born in nineteen fifty September five, nineteen fifty.

(16:19):
She's a virgo. Um. Yeah, it's just interesting because like
Kathy is this comic that people used to make fun
of women or it became just sort of like all
the women yeah dieting. But watching this documentary, you're like, oh, yeah,
none of this stuff had been in a comic before.
It was very groundbreaking at the time, and just like

(16:42):
a lot of men's underground comics are about putting all
of your weird it and sexual neurosis into a comic,
and when you see like a woman do it, it
can be really uncomfortable in the case of Kathy, because
you're like, Kathy, just love yourself, Kathy, we love you. What.
Thank you Batia for the email. Thanks for also bringing

(17:05):
Big Chill into our final episode because we couldn't get
through this finale. So who do you think Kathy is
in The Big Chill? No, this stumps me. Somebody, she said,
Meg obviously. Do you think she's Meg? Is that Mary
kay Place? That's that's what I also, I was like,
they all in my mind, they have no names anymore

(17:27):
in The Big Chill. Their names are their actor. All right,
who is she? I think she might be Glenn Close's character. No,
I think she's closer to Mary kay Place. Yeah, because
she needs to have it all. She's a cool lady, alight.
She's more neurotic, I think maybe, but they're all neurotic. Yeah,

(17:51):
but she's where's it on the outside a little more?
I don't know. She'd be the one who's married to
Robert or whatever his name is. But now I wonder,
you know, like like as you were saying, like, you know,
Kathy does not give off the vibe that you would
expect the creator of Kathy to give off. And I wonder,
you know, I was picturing that Onion article that's like

(18:11):
Gene whatever. It's like a column by a woman named
Jean that was always on the Onion, and she seems
like a stock photo, but it looked that is what
I picture Kathy looking like. So yeah, then she looks
like you know, Jill Clayburgh, and you're like, oh, this
is complicated, right, Yeah, like Lawrence Cosden's impression of her

(18:31):
and how he would like quote unquote write her into
a movie might be different than how she would right herself.
Or probably it's definitely different than how she would write herself. So, um, yeah,
I don't know, but I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say,
Mary kay place, I'll go with that because I've already
revealed how little of Kathy I know absorbed. No, Kathy

(18:52):
rolled right off my back. It was just it was
just there for her. Yeah, But legacies, so let's open
up the voicemailbox again. Let's do it. Hi. My name

(19:17):
is Dan Uh. Live outside of Chicago. Longtime fan. Going
back to the girls in Hoodies days. UM really started
to hear the show is ending, UM, and I meant
to call you. Uh. Months ago, I went to summer
camp with Whitley Streeber's son. It was a performing arts
camp and upstate New York called Long Lag. I unfortunately

(19:40):
can't remember his name. It was the summer after eighth
grade UM when I went there, and we were in
a performance of Oklahoma together. He was curly and I
was Judd, which meant that we du edit poor Judd
is Dead together. So that was an experience. UM. I

(20:02):
didn't necessary like I think. I think I was familiar
with communion at the time, and I remember some of
the other campers UM referencing who he was and who
his father was, UM, and they made it pretty clear
that he didn't necessarily want to talk about that, so
I never brought it up to him. He was a

(20:22):
really good guy, really nice guy. UM, But I thought
you'd get a kick out of hearing that. Uh. You know,
I was in Oklahoma UM with Whitley Strieber's son. Uh,
This is back in like nineteen summer and ninety three,
I think, so I'm dating myself anyway, I thought you'd
like to hear that story again. Really started to hear

(20:43):
that the pot is ending, um, and I hope to
see all of the wonderful things that you all go
on to do in the future. Take care. This is
Patrick and it's about thirty Michigan. I just wanted to
give a call bease. Been of same you guys since
the jone Quickly episode of Behind the Bastards. It's just,

(21:04):
you know, sad to see they come to end, but
I am hopeful that I'll hear from you guys again.
I guess the only thing else I have to say
is I wish you guys would have talked about cryptids. Uh.
Living in the Midwest, it's definitely one of those things
that you know, there's hundreds of roads that you don't
go down because there's some type of X murder or
my personal favorite as the dog Man of Michigan. Yeah,

(21:27):
I hope for the best for all you guys, and
I'll see in the future. Ahem, ahem. We have talked
so much about cryptids that you you must peruse our
archive I personally, I think we all agreed that maybe
the most cryptic heavy episode was when we had Dan

(21:48):
Hernandez on the podcast. He had some really good insider
cryptid knowledge because his dad is a crypto zoologist who
went on a big adventure to try and find cryptids.
That was then wasn't it like derailed by a hurricane
or something? His plans were thwarted. Yeah, they couldn't take
the boat out, which I recommend that. But also cryptids

(22:11):
have been on my mind recently because I get these
like news local news emails and there's this one person
who lives in my neighborhood who, uh like every few
weeks sends out the same like email that basically is
asking if anyone has seen big Foot in Griffith Park.
And he keeps describing a night five years ago where

(22:34):
he swears he saw big Foot. And of course this
starts happening right when we were taking a break and
now we're ending the show, and I was like, this
is a local mystery I could solve on night Call. God,
we really we haven't ruled out the possibility of coming
back for some night Calls Super specials, Cryptic super special

(22:54):
Maybe we'll do some kind of one off mystery solving
you can get on a case a private detect of agency.
I know Tess is going to start researching this anyway, Yeah,
as as I do. Yeah, maybe this is just your
next show. Probably. Well, the stay at home order is
kind of like destroying my plans to you can still

(23:14):
go to the park. Well, it's so confusing the stay
at home orders in l A. It's like you can't
leave your house unless you're going to the mall. And
if you're at the mall, you can walk, But if
you're at your house, you can't leave your house on foot,
bike or bike car unless you need to go shopping
at a store. Alyssa walker in front of the pod,
had a good tweet where she was like, I can't

(23:35):
see my niece and nephew at the playground, so I'm
going to meet them at a tattoo parlor exactly. Um,
but this just also sounds like Under the Silver Lake, Yes,
my favorite film of all time. Yes, um, I'm looking
now that. So if you go back, this is just

(23:55):
you know, uh news you can use. I think it's
listed as uh it's on seventy three on iTunes. I
don't know what that number means honestly, because it counts
down from the most recent too now, but it's from
six nineteen. If you love the crib Cycle with Dan Hernandez,
there's so much cryptic talk in there, and I'm there

(24:17):
are so many other ones too. I mean, is that
the one where we talked about the um? What's it
called this? The squid? What do they sunk? The squawk?
Was that squawk talk? I think Squank made it. We've
talked about the Squawk a few times over the years.
I'm sorry for only realizing, uh, the very end of

(24:39):
the podcast that a good thing to do is to
put the topics and the title of the episodes so
that people can find it UM. But yeah, they're in
the descriptions generally, and we definitely talked about cryptids a
time or two. So yeah, if, yeah, if you want
to go back and rediscover it, you know, I think

(24:59):
you'll be happy. I think you'll be happy. Patrick. I
can't remember if it was when we I think Molly
and I were on Creature Feature podcast with Katie Golden. Yeah,
I think we talked about cryptids there as well. We
also Colin Dicky on for an entire Sasquatch episode. There
you go, oh yeah with the UM. I mean, I

(25:19):
think that was a bonus episode Patreon episode. But if
you want to listen to the episode with the second
Colin Dickey episode, Um, yeah, we talked about the whole
Bigfoot c I a Jimmy Stewart connection. I think that
was when we did a We did a chat for

(25:40):
Skylight with him, which felt like a podcast because it
was in uh it was during lockdown, so anytime you
get on Zoom with him, Mike, it feels like you're
touring a podcast. But I think I think that was
for Skylight, but I'm sure that they have that saved
somewhere to Skylight Books. We did it, Molly and I
did a chat with Colin Dicky for Skylight of his

(26:00):
book The Unidentified, which is extremely niccall and highly recommended
and highly recommended. If we're missing a good Um, all
the books from the book club are are still out there. Yeah, yeah, consumed,
but especially that one. Yeah. I definitely get all the
podcasting and just regular zooming I've been doing mixed up.
They just totally fixed Mike's to our heads at the beginning,

(26:24):
it's just coppercorn style and if we're just broadcasting somewhere
all the time, there's plenty to discover Patrick. So yeah, hopefully,
hopefully that will say your your desire for crypto chat.
Speaking of the Unidentified, I feel like we should probably
discuss this freaking monolith that's been popping up all over

(26:47):
the world, because it popped up when we were off
last week, and it just feels like such bait for
us UM and we obviously got a lot of tweets
and and and people wanted us to talk about this
UM and it feels a little bit like just weird
timing that it's again that it's coming out as soon
as we're we're ending the show. But what do you

(27:10):
what do you guys think of this monolitht you mean
these monoliths, these monoliths the yeah, there's three. Didn't want
when you try disappear and people were saying like, oh,
it reappeared in Romania, and I think there are three
separate monoliths. I didn't even know about the third one.
I have a spoiler on the first one, but spoil away. Well,

(27:32):
it's like the most boring thing it could be is
that West World was filming nearby, so people think it
was a prank by some West World set deck people,
and yeah, I mean human hands were clearly involved. It
did not have the markings of an alien thing where

(27:54):
you can't tell how it got there at all. They
were like, this is clearly like somebody drilled here and
maybe an alien drilled there. Maybe, But I just feel
like it being a West World thing is is the
dumbest thing it could be. So yeah, I mean, would

(28:14):
they still sick that kind of I don't know. I guess.
Actually we were off the pod too when I got
really into Stonehenge in the last couple of weeks. Oh,
I think you talked about Stonehenge something. Maybe that was
also a bonus episode or just me talking to you
and being like, yo, we gotta talk about stone. And
there's a bunch of National Geographic specials on Disney Plus

(28:38):
that I watched that are about ancient monoliths, uh and
some of the stuff we've been talking about mounds, ancient
burial sites, mountain rids and they're all really cool. Um,
but some of that stuff too, it's like they still
don't know how it was done, which is why they
say it's ancient aliens. This. They're just like this was

(29:01):
made out of aluminum and well and like Well died,
and then the Romanian one is allegedly more poorly welded. Yeah,
I am like number one would love to believe and
the like it just being like a glitch in the
matrix or something, or you know that we're about to enter, uh,
the next phase of human evolution or whatever because of

(29:23):
big daddy monolith dropping down on Earth. But yeah, it
feels as soon as the one popped up, and I
think if it was just the single one in Utah,
I think I could be pleasantly mystified by it. But
I think that it continued to have It's like this
continuing story that's been picked up. It just feels a

(29:45):
little orchestrated. It feels like, do you guys remember I
was really like, this is such an early I mean
not early early Internet but like middle middle Internet mystery.
Do you remember this? And this is like an artist
that exists now. But it was like a YouTube account
called I am am I Who am I? Do you
guys remember seeing this song? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, this was

(30:07):
big on. Oh no they didn't. They were like convinced
it was Christina Aguilera. But then it was just a
random person. Yeah, it was just like a random like
European singer songwriter or something. It was very people thought
it was Gaga and this was like kind of early
in Gaga being around. But they were these very kind
of evocative music videos with um like kind of snippets

(30:33):
of songs and then some animal which show up somewhere
in the middle of it. And they would come out
like every couple of weeks, and I remember whatever job
I had at the time, we were all super into
it and like, oh, what's the next one, Like, you know,
we have another clue. And then it's just like a
marketing campaign for an artist that I never ended up
caring about. Really, I still get like press releases for

(30:55):
I am am I, who am I? Or whatever her
name is now? Um, but yeah, uh it's it's so
it's like, you know, you get burned one which is
not even really being burned. It's just like somebody doing
something interesting, but somebody doing a little project is not.
You know, it can be fun, but it's not as
fun as a real monolith from Alien Yes from Alias, Like, yeah,

(31:19):
so my son whom I've been tweeting about because he's
making websites and it's just like can't handle that he's
that old that he's making websites. But I told him
about the Monolith, and he he was very certain that
it was people basically doing I r L. Easter Eggs

(31:40):
because everyone's been kind of like driven so insane and
bored by quarantine that he thought it was someone like
making life more video game like. And I was like,
that's great. I really want to believe that. But Molly's
West World thing, like, yeah, that that also sounds reasonable.
I wish I weren't so cynical. Yeah, and I wish

(32:01):
I just thought it was Aliens, real monolithe as a treat,
like come as a treat. Yeah, yeah, No, it reminds
me of the random nodding that we talked about earlier. Um,
but if it's a marketing thing, that again, like that
just makes it less fun. It's also like, if it's
just a person, do we a random thing just sort

(32:23):
of a disruptive thing with no purpose, like just in
an for its own ends. Um, that's also interesting and
kind of cool, I think, yeah, um, and mysterious because
you know it doesn't end in commerce. Uh, it makes
me want to do that because I am so bored

(32:45):
that I want to I want there to be like
more to chew on mentally. Uh. And it made me think,
like what would I put in random places for people
to think was placed there by aliens? I feel like
when I was a kid in like playing in the
woods and around Tacoma, like we would always this is
like a four Blair witch, but we would always like

(33:05):
put up scary ominous like stick figures and stuff to
scare people if you're running around, just to like be like,
oh my go then and then you know, walk up
and be like, oh my god, what's that? You know? Wait,
so are you the dog Man of the woods. Yes,
I'm the original dog man. It's been on the Squawk.
Tess is going to go looking for the Wolfman and

(33:26):
just find unifind Yeah, in the woods nanotent. Yeah. So
that's I guess that's that a analyst, I guess I wish.
I guess we all wish we could be a little
more um, we could suspend our disbelief a bit more.
It's like the ancient aliens thing. It's like it's even
cooler that human beings did it, And it's dumb that
we think we're smarter than those human beings in any way. Uh,

(33:50):
because humans are just like the same level of smart
all the time in my opinion, Wait, what do you mean,
just that like people are like, oh, people in the past,
like they were able to build these things that like
we can't even build them now. It's like, yeah, maybe
they didn't have all the technology that we have now,
but they could still have even more other ancient technology

(34:15):
that we don't know how to do now. So you're saying,
don't ascribe the magic of the monoliths to aliens because
humans and or the marketing department of HBO have, you know,
our ingenious in their own right. They can get it done.
It's cool. It's just like real stonehenge is cool enough,

(34:37):
is what I'm saying. We don't need fake monoliths because
real monoliths are amazing. Um. And the fact that like
anything that ancient has been standing that long anywhere is cool. Um.
This reminds me there's a fake there's a fake stonehenge
in Washington State that I went to that I've almost

(34:58):
blocked from my memory because it was yes, somebody thing
about it. Yeah, it's a Mary Hill, Washington. Uh, the
American Stonehenge. It's like a super weird, wavy gravy town
and like southern Washington, I believe, kind of close to
the Oregon border. That's what you're saying. If you need

(35:20):
to migrate northward because the fires have have pushed everybody out,
then Mary Hill, Washington is the place to be. Yeah,
you're saying it's hippie dippy and it has its own stonehenge.
I am moving there. Yeah, what's the stonehege? Mate? Is
it like in a way to recreate it? Is it
made out of like foam or something concrete? Uh, it's

(35:42):
a I guess some World War One memorial. Um. But
I recall the vibe and I'm gonna link it here
so you guys can see. I recall the vibe in
the town being not like I don't know. I wouldn't
have guessed that it was a World War One memorial
just because it felt like a very new a g town.
Um there it is. I was very young when I

(36:05):
went there, so I don't remember. Yeah, I mean, you know,
people love to put up a monolith in Nebraska. There's
also Carhinge, which I have always wanted to see, which
is the stonehenge made out of of old cars. That
have been spray painted gray. I just love land art.
Give me land art. Well. The thing about Stonehenge that

(36:29):
people don't understand is that the stones are so heavy
that nobody knows how people could have moved them, the individuals,
because they're not It's not like the Pyramids where there
you know, it's just a feat of engineering. But like
people are just like literally like how could anybody have
picked that up without a huge crane or some kind
of machinery or something. That's the that's the mystery of Stonehinge. Right.

(36:52):
One of the things about the Pyramids those that they
found out that some of the blocks had been cast
into specific shapes. I believe it was like early car
create uh, which again just things. They were like, oh,
we didn't know that they knew how to do that.
It's like, yeah, because you're fucking dumb. You're not You're
not as smart as the ancient Egyptians. We only wish

(37:15):
we had concrete. Now, all right, monolith sorted verdicts in um.
Do you guys have any other favorite episodes of the podcast?
You just talked about that Dan Hernandez episode and some
of our other cryptic heavy episodes. Oh, I sure, do um.
One of the we've talked about this again and again

(37:36):
because it was a really memorable arc was the Woodworker
slash Murder Board Adventure and that that played out over
a lot of different episodes because just when we thought
that the chapter had been closed on the Murder Board,
it opened back up with a new update. And for

(37:57):
people who have just recently joined into our podcast, uh,
we should give you a brief synopsis, which is that
a man, a woodworker, was UM. He had a commission
come in to make a Weigi board or a Hui
jaw board out of a piece of wood that UM
was supposedly from somehow involved in a murder scene and

(38:20):
had bloodstains on it, and the commission was canceled because
the commissioner's mom, I think, was like, oh no, You're
not gonna get a creepy, haunted piece of wood in
our house. So the woodworker had nothing, had like no
idea what to do with this thing, and our listeners
called in. We got everyone invited it involved in advising

(38:43):
the woodworker on what to do, and eventually the Murder
Board ended up at the Paranormal Museum, which is yeah,
just like an incredible just Kisma of all of our
interest in us connecting the right people. I love It's
honestly not just the highlight of our show, like a
highlight of my life that we were at all involved

(39:04):
in this. It's a professional achievement honestly for all of us. Definitely. Yeah,
that was just like a trade like that. That's like
once that started getting going and I was just like,
this is why we were doing this podcast? Yeah exactly. Um,
that was so Yeah. I never knew what was going
to happen next with you. I also really loved UM

(39:26):
when we had carvel on and we talked about like
food forbidden foods basically like foods that we felt like
we're unethical to eat. And I think we also talked
about sea horses in there. But that was when we
were recording at UM, this little studio. We were a
different platform, and there was just something funny about the
studio that we were recording in, Like I just it

(39:47):
was so just had to be there. It was really small,
it was really hot in there. That's a whole side podcast,
the story of our our old studio. It made me
thinking about like every time we had a guest in there,
we would all just get like so sweaty and then
we would just laugh. But the one with the one

(40:08):
with Carvel I remember because I would be recording in
New York for that UM and I sometimes it was
like hard, especially if there was a guest there and
so I was a lone remote person to like kind
of you know, get into the rhythm of it. But
like that Carvel one, I just remember feeling like, oh,
I was there in the room and I was silly

(40:29):
vibes with everybody. That was a good one. That was
a really good one. What about you guys? God, I
have so many I think like a little I guess
this is about a year ago. Uh. We did a

(40:50):
couple of episodes with Tom O'Neill, who wrote Chaos, the
Charles Manson book UM, which was one of my favorite
things that we read for this podcast, And both of
those episodes are great. When is um one was a
bonus up and then when I was on the main
feed and he was just like a fascinating guest and

(41:12):
like just our kind of favorite, like you know, like
a true journalist who will just like shoot the ship
about anything um and here. Yeah, and it was a
fascinating book and he was just like an endless font
of information. Um, and yeah, he was one of my
favorite guests for sure. Yeah, he was incredible. Actually he
talking to Tom, you definitely get the sense that he

(41:33):
needs his own show totally. Yeah. I just like, yeah,
I don't know how he like because that that book
was such a long term project and he was working
out forever and ever. I don't know how, like anybody
keeps something like that to themselves, like of course, like
once it's out, you just want to talk about it
endlessly because you've been like sitting on it for decades

(41:54):
or whatever. That. Yeah, that highly recommended revisiting that one.
Seems like he had a lot of problems not talking
to people about the Manson murders for like ten years
of his life, which I very much understand. Yeah. Yeah, Um,
I loved We loved having Darcy Wilder we're talking about. Um.
I loved having Nicki Mayor and on recently to talk

(42:16):
about the Vow. Nikki was awesome. Yeah, that was one
of our best recent episodes, I would say, and also
did bonus episodes with her too about the Vow. Super fun.
There is like a good era of like genuine uncut weirdness.
Courtesy of UM when of her former producers Rachel Jacobs

(42:37):
at Audio Boom, but she was the one who brought
to our attention the Plague Mask a s MR, which
was a guy on YouTube who whispers at you through
a plague mask and it's this weird, sort of scary
goth but also a s m R video audio experience UM,

(43:00):
which just yeah, I felt like true, true dark corners
of the Internet, and it was very fun to get
into that with her. That's in an episode called Connecticut,
Connecticut Muffin in Honeybrain's Court, just to give you a
vibe of the true data is UM that we were
working in it. That was great. Yeah, We've had so

(43:23):
many good guests over the years, Meredith Whittaker. I mean there, yeah,
there's so many people. Andrew T we had a really
really like funny, silly episode. I I didn't get to
be on the episode with Andrew T. Yeah, that was
when I was out, But that was a great episode.
Love listening to it. Next Incarnation, Emily are not allowed
to leave leave zone? Yeah, no traveling for you know.

(43:46):
All right, let's get back into the voicemail bag. I
can't decide if it's a bag or a box. It's
both and neither. High Night Calls me. I was good
to hear about the pod coming to an end. It
really offered something different in my weekly routine and I'm

(44:07):
so sad to see it go. I was wondering if
you could send us off with some recommendations on ways
to begin to start to or try to fill the
cosmic void left by Night Call fading into the ether.
Thanks again for so many good years, and I wish
you all the best. By great question, how do we

(44:28):
fill our own cosmic void? Well, I mean there are
some a couple of really obvious to me. Answer is
one of which is Molly's upcoming pod also from from
My Heart, which I know you announced on Twitter, Molly.
But if you want to give a little more of
a teaser, Oh sure, I am doing a podcast about Hollywood,

(44:50):
Madam Heidi Flice that I'm super excited about. That is
my new under the Silver Lake like obsession, a lifelog
obsession that I'm excited to make a podcast about. Um,
it's gonna be a lot of weird l a history
and stuff like that too, So definitely if you like
Nightcall check it out. Um, it'll be out next year.

(45:13):
That's gonna be great. I wanted to recommend UH Kate
Wrath podcast UM Hot and Rich, which is a three
times a week Twitch show on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
on Twitch. UM at Hot and Rich, friend of the
friend of the show specialist UM does. Yeah, she does

(45:35):
a great celebrity news round up UM talk show that
I think is just really cool and funny. And UM
Also Joan Haley Ford, who we had on the show
UM pretty recently, has does some really great like Twitch
horror hosting kind of stuff, like Elvira kind of stuff. UM.

(45:58):
She was doing a show about Fall called Fall Talk
Fall Chat. UM. But yeah, I think there are a
lot of people doing cool, weird, interesting stuff. UM. I'm
trying to think a more like straight podcast that I
listened to UM I Excitations Needed, which is a media
criticism podcast that is is really good. Well, I would

(46:22):
say my more recent like listen to them right away. UM.
Podcasts that I've been listening to recently UM are former
guests Justin Charity and Micro Peters's podcast Sound Only on
the Ringer Network, which is UM. It's a pop culture podcast.
It's a very specific to their interests and away that's

(46:43):
not exactly the same as ours, but I think is
similar in spirit where they're like really into some zones
of pop culture, mostly like anime, hip hop, and uh
just like internet weirdness. Um, and they're really fun, Like
their conversations are is really fun and digressive and stuff. Um.
I am a big fan of that one. I also

(47:07):
this is just like in the realm of of like
listening to something and learning something I had no idea about.
There's a great podcast called Bad Gays. It's on I
think it's third season. It's like more kind of you
just are listening to somebody, kind of in the style
of of Creana Long Worst Podcast and a couple of
day podcasts like you kind of are just like hearing

(47:27):
a story. It's a story being told to you about
different problematic or complicated queer figures in history. And there's
always something fascinated that that I learned in every episode. Um.
And they do a really good job with that. The
host of that, and then on the non podcast side,
Making Garvey just started a sub stack. Everybody started a
sub stack, but I think that she's put out one

(47:49):
issue so far. Um. I feel like it's going to
have some good spooky vibes, some good like weird Americana vibes.
That is definitely adjacent to the Night Call state of mind.
So I would recommend that it's called scary, cool, sad,
Goodbye and you can hop in now and be an
early adopter. Those are good racks. UM. I really like

(48:10):
Creature Feature Pod, which is also on I Heart UM
Friend of Pod Katie is really fascinating and cool. And
then in the same vein as that, um, Apologies Friend
of Pod Alie Ward's podcast. I am sure everyone already
knows about Apologies because it's way more famous than Night Call,

(48:31):
But I love Oologies. It's a really cool group of people.
Their their listenership reminds me of ours in many ways.
And I know that because I belong to the Facebook
group and I'm very I actively read all of that. UM.
I also really love see Jane Marie at sub stack
dot com. UM, friend of Pod Jane Marie's sub stack

(48:52):
is really really good. She's just cool. Yeah of her Yeah, Um,
those are my wrack. Her interests often on with our Yeah,
and she's very like no bullshit. You know. She has
a Friday bargain bin thing, and I don't normally like those,
but I read every word because I just love how
she's very frank. It's it's refreshing. I like it. She's

(49:14):
such a midwestern Er. It's great totally speaking of the Midwest. Um. Yeah,
I'm also almost like I need to start a freaking
sub stack. Everybody. You do, Oh my god, yours? Yeah, yours? Um.
I think we had a shout out to that in
a call, so maybe I'm repeating myself. Shout out to

(49:35):
the weather letter. Yeah, it's a tiny letter. It's it's
just just a tiny start to test this weather letter.
If you do. It's just I've been told it's like
too sad. No, it's no, it can be quite sad.
The cheers it is. The cheers. Well, that's a huge compliment.
I can't agree. But thank you. Making away in the

(49:59):
world today takes over everything you got. I wish we
could play the Cheers theme song at some point on
this episode. I think Doug will agree. We're probably allowed
to sing it. You can sing it. Well. I think

(50:19):
that is about all we got. It's everything we got. Yeah,
I'm I'm gonna be really sad to say goodbye to
night Call. But I also feel like it has been,
and I hope that our listeners feel this way as well.
It's been such a like cornucopia of cool ship that

(50:42):
I never would have spent time thinking about or learning
about if I hadn't been podcasting with Tess and Molly
and have this excuse to gather around a microphone every
week and and get into the weird corners of the world.
It sounds cooty to say the word inspiration, but it's true,
like there's no other work because I've been like actually

(51:02):
inspired by the stuff that we've gotten into, like by
where my brain goes when we're talking about it, of
like written things based on stuff that we've talked about.
It's just it's like what I would want out of
a partnership like this, a show like this, especially as
a host, and hopefully as a listener. You got that
out of it as well. I definitely agree, and I

(51:23):
think um one of the other things that we we
don't talk about a lot on the podcast, but we
when we podcasted together at grant Land, we were employees
and I'm really I don't want to say I'm proud
of us, because I already called my weather letter the
Tears of newsletters. But I am really proud of us,

(51:45):
yeah too, because it's you know, we're three friends, and
I'm really proud of how well we've worked together, and
I you know, I am very I'm so happy that
we had this experience. It's been so awesome, and I'm
even more excited to see what Emily and Molly do
because they really are just incredible people and just very, very,

(52:06):
the smartest people I know. I'm very proud to have
worked with you guys h from work. Yeah, I mean,
I'll always be grateful that Emily asked if we wanted
to do a podcast at Grantland UM, a show that
the network originally suggested, calling grant Land w NO. I

(52:29):
suggested it and it was a joke, and then I
realized nobody would get the joke. It was supposed to
be bad. I will take ownership, then became Girls in
Hoodies and then came back as Night Call. We're obviously
open to leaving the door open for another iteration in

(52:51):
the far off future, but at the very least I
have made Tess and Emily promise that we will do
on Eagles style raises over reunion concert with Mountains of
blow Uh. And yeah, I've been thinking a lot about
like who the different Nightcall uh members are in different bands,

(53:14):
because I was like, cool, which Eagles are we? I
feel like, uh, TuS, I think you're Don Henley. Really yeah,
I think you're John Henley, Emily's Glen Frey, and I
think I'm Joe Walsh. I mean, I'm tempted to agree
just but that's also because I have a connection to

(53:38):
uh the End of the Innocence and other John Henley
Don Henley solo exploits great embarrassing that way. Yeah, Glenn
Frey is cool. Um. I was talking about how, just
like every I was watching a Black Pink video and
I was like, oh, it's so funny how every K
pop group has a left eye, Like I love that

(53:59):
about it. Somebody was like, you're obviously the left eye,
and Emily is t Bos and Tests is Chili, sure thing,
and I was like that's true. And then yeah, I
just couldn't stop thinking about like how how the personality
archetypes go with different bands. I hope that people continue

(54:21):
to submit their suggestions of who we are in various
trios or bands forevermore. But just keep in mind that
we've got a Libra, a virgo and a Capricorn, and
that really all we're doing is just talking about astrology
when we talk about who we I mean, it's just
there's the immutable fact of astrology. You have to take

(54:44):
the astrology into account. That's how all bands should be formed,
is around. Uh yes, to look at your charts. Just
like a spinal tap stone bring it back to stone.
I was reading about the tiny stonehenge um in Spinal
tap was inspired by Black Sabbath tried to have a

(55:06):
stonehenge but it was like too big so they couldn't
even get it on stage. Uh it's still I will
still watch the clip of that sometimes and just laugh
and laugh. It never gets old to me. It's the
best lowering down tiny stonehenge. Fine holiday fun um, but yeah,

(55:26):
I mean I think I remember we we got together
into an episode of North Mollywood. I feel like like
in the dark days of January, and we were very
much and like bunker mindset and like what are we
gonna do? Like you know, And I think that's sort

(55:47):
of where I would say the germ of Night Calls
started from, even though it was about a year until
we put out our first episode that I think that
kind of is where we got the gears started turning
and we're like, Okay, we're gonna bring it back, but
it's got to be like it's got to be really
specific around our needs and are and our interests in

(56:09):
an incredibly weird time, not that there's any unwird time,
but I think it was just more in our face
at that moment, and it was all something something we
all wanted to talk about, the Dystopia of at all
strange days and lonely nights. We obviously aren't saying that
the dystopia is in any way over now. Um. I

(56:30):
hope that nobody took that away from like we're like, oh,
Joe Biden one, so it's all good, everything is normal now.
That is absolutely not It's entirely coincidental timing. We're not
abandoning you for the next phase of the dystopia, which
will be extremely weird in its own way. Yeah seriously,

(56:51):
Um no, we're just, uh, we're going to see what
the next phase looks like and then you know, we
do you know, throw up the nightcall light and we
all might come to the rescue like moths. Yes, like
I was thinking like Batman, but yes, also like like
moths around the lux or pyramid at exactly. Um, well,

(57:15):
we want to and the show with a bunch of
thank you's because there are so many people that we
couldn't have done this show without, and people who have
been supporters of the show for a long time or
short time, any time at all. We appreciate you've all,

to stay about it, dog, But thanks duck, Yeah, thank
you Doug. Doug has really been an amazing person who's
really gotten our show. Um. We should also definitely think

was a big fan of girls and hoodies back in
the day. And sometimes when people say that, you're like,

(58:18):
I don't think you've actually listened to the show Jack
totally had and did. Um. We also absolutely love Joel
Joel Monique. She was phenomenal um and she still has
shows at I Heart, so you should listen to them
all and support her because she's awesome. Um. Also say Serrano,

we love Shay uh thank you. Also love Sophie Lichtman
at A Heart and Anna has Ni like truly missed
going to the studio and playing with the dogs. Um.

(59:06):
It's one thing I miss about the podcast is actually

of making it from a weird alleyway in Hollywood yep,
and taking like so many sodas just stuff in him
in the purses. Yeah that was maybe just me. Um.
We also got to thank our other producer, Zack McKeever

thank you, thank you. Hi, Nightcall, This is Zach calling
from me. I was gutted to hear about the pod
coming to an end. It really offered something different in

(01:10:34):
my weekly routine. I'm so sad to see it go.
I was wondering if you could send us off with
some recommendations on ways to begin to start to or
try to fill the cosmic void left by Night Call
fading into the ether. Uh. Thanks again for so many
good years, and I wish you all the best. By Hey,

(01:10:56):
Night Call. It is twelve thirty four and Upstate New
York and I just finished listening to this week's episode
and when I heard the announcement at the end, I
just had to call and say thank you for being
the best part of my Monday's during our dystopian reality.
I'm a Patreon subscriber and I would always look forward
to the mixes and bonus pods and night letters each month.

(01:11:21):
Our days are going to be a little bit more
strange and our nights are going to be a little
bit more lonely without night Call in our ears. But
thank you so much for everything you've given up. As
sad as I am that pod is ending, I will
be sure to tune in and listen to, or watch
or read anything the three of you are involved with
in the future. That's it. I just wanted to say

(01:11:43):
thanks and uh saving a spot at the commune by Hi,
it's Christina. I God, I had so many more night
calls that like I needed to call you about. I'm like, oh,
I just didn't can get around to it. But anyway,
like okay, like the time I went on like a

(01:12:05):
job interview to the Wax Museum and it was like
a three hour job interview and then they ghosted me
and they never called me back. But like then I
started having dreams that I would get up in the
morning and go to work at the waxing seum and
like brush out wigs all day and they were like
really boring dreams. But it went on for like a year.
And then oh, also earlier in the summer, UM, they've

(01:12:27):
rebuilt the suicide railing on the Golden Gate Bridge and
they accidentally turned the bridge into like a windharp and
it started playing the Devil's tri tone in like the
sky and like the sky was howling, but like no
one I was talking about it because there was like, um,
other stuff happening. UM. But anyway, Oh my god, I

(01:12:48):
guess while I have you in this brief moment when
I still have you, what I'm asking it? Um, should
I sue the wax Museum. I'm like, please be aware
that I'm going to see them guardless, and I'm also
suing you for leaving me. No, I'm just kidding. UM.
I like you, ye hi, and I call Minemes Miles

(01:13:10):
Unde l A. I was raised in the valley actually. Um. Anyway, Uh,
first things first, and super bond to hear the show's ending.
You guys have been something that I consistently look forward
to listening to a weekly basis. UM, and I've really
really enjoyed everything you guys have done on the show.

(01:13:32):
You actually are the ones that inspired me to start
my own podcast. UM, so thanks for that. It's been
going strong for about two years and I have you
guys to thank for it. Anyway, I'm wanted the call
in real quick to UM talk about what Marra Wilson
said on the show last week. I also was a

(01:13:52):
child actor, UM until I was about college age, and
I really a lot of features that resonated with me,
um in terms of, you know, the way that children
and child actors in particular can be very very vulnerable
without realizing it, and then they hit a certain age
where you know, um, they they kind of have to

(01:14:17):
turn that off in order to continue to exist as
an adult in the real world. UM. And it really
kind of fucked me up as an adult because there
was a period of time where I, uh stopped having
a motion. Basically I had to really like turn myself
off completely. UM. And it's taken a lot of years

(01:14:37):
of therapy for me to kind of, you know, get
back to the point where if someone compliments me or
shows me affection, UH, it doesn't completely send me into
a tail spin. UM. And Uh, I beat myself up
for just you know existing basically. Um, it's really a
problem and I'm working on it. But I think a

(01:14:58):
lot of it had to do with the fact that,
you know, I was so open emotionally as a trial
actor that I kind of had to go one eighty
in the opposite direction when I got older. Anyway, UM, again,
thanks for everything, guys, and I really forward to see
what you come up with next. Take care, high night
call um. This is my first time calling in. I
recently actually just discovered the podcast and have been bingeing

(01:15:22):
it for the last like two weeks or so. UM. So,
like obviously super sad that you guys are leaving, but
I did want to call and tell you, uh my
kind of crazy, dreamy story that I've been telling to
anyone who will listen since it happened, um about like

(01:15:43):
eight years ago. So I lived in Boston where I
went to college, and I lived there several years after. Um,
and so I was up there one summer for the
entire summer and basically like I got a job working
for my school and they put us up in student housing.

(01:16:05):
So I was like sleeping in this like very creepy
kind of like super high density dorm that was built
by someone who also makes prisons. It's called Warren Towers. UM.
Just totally creepy vibe. UM. But basically, I had this
dream that night that I was laying down on the

(01:16:31):
grass in like a big, big grassy area where a
bunch of people were tending to their cattle, and they
were all dressed in what I would imagine would be
clothing that pilgrims would have worn, UM. And it was
a beautiful day, like gorgeous summer day, not a cloud
in the sky. When all of a sudden, just a big, big,

(01:16:56):
big black darkness kind of felt over the entire area,
and everyone was running around screaming crazy like dropping to
their knees and praying UM. And then I woke up
and just like kind of started to go about my day.
So just kind of like for some background, like I
have really intense dreams to begin with, UM, I also

(01:17:19):
have really bad sleep paralysis and has like had a
number of lucid dreams. So me having like kind of
really weird intense vivid dreams is and out of the ordinary.
But something felt very like distinct about this, UM. But anyway,
like woke up. That's just like creepy dorm that I
was living in. And I went to like a farmer's

(01:17:39):
market slash like food truck sort of thing um with
a bunch of friends, and we went to a coffee shop,
sat down to um just like you know, gets some
water and cool off and everything. And the Boston Glope
was next to me, like the kind of the remnants
that someone had kind of rifled through, and I started

(01:18:01):
to just kind of flipped through it and then got
to the section of the newspaper where they have the
like this day in history where they kind of left
the same things. Ladies, this is Matthew Wills. Altos just
wanted to I've actually wanted to call you guys for

(01:18:22):
a while, but I'm a lazy procrastinator. Uh. This podcast
has been really cool. I haven't want to listen to
every single episode that I plan on doing that, so
name I just wanted me a few random notes. Uh
so thirty nine you talked about traumatic movies. Uh, mine
would probably the robo Cop. I think RoboCop was brought

(01:18:43):
up in that episode. I watched it with my mother
at home because I really wanted to go to see
RoboCop two in theaters because it's still would call rober
Coop had a cartoon show and a toy line and
comic book. Uh it was for kids, which still I
thought I probably weren't every square word in the book
watching that movie. Um, and no, the scenes of ultra violence,

(01:19:07):
I was cool about my mother's arms avoiding the screen
and crying obviously. Um, let's see Uh, I don't see
you guys talks about value the dolls. Um, I read
the book to watch the movie. Um, I've always felt
that title. The title has always been cool to me.

(01:19:27):
Valid the dolls. I don't know, it's it's evocative for
some reason. Um. I love your plastic surgery episodes. Uh,
promoias here. Um, this is stake Fair episode. It was
a lot of fun. Um like everybody else. Uh, I'm
trying to make this quick. Um. Yeah, it's been a
great podcast. Um. Well, because I have to say, I
