::[MUSIC PLAYING]
::"Grack Public Access."
::You're listening to "Grack Public Access" on 101.7 FM,
::the Grack here in Gragelton.
::I'm Todd Chesterfield, and I'm here with Parker Spoon.
::Hi, Parker.
::You know, I lost a lot of my energy
::because the audience didn't hear we had an exchange earlier.
::We did.
::Not like one of those gift-giving exchanges.
::It was like a verbal exchange.
::Yeah.
::And I am exhausted from it.
::Oh, I'm sorry, Parker.
::Did you want to take a little nap?
::No.
::Now that's insane.
::Yeah, it would be, especially where we are.
::I know.
::So do you want to tell them?
::Because this is--
::Oh, yeah, I should tell them.
::Yeah.
::All right, so this is episode five.
::And in this episode, we are here at Shane's Olive Shack.
::And we are sponsored by Doreen's Olive Hollow.
::So that's interesting.
::And our theme for this week is gym shoes.
::That was given to me by the radio station.
::That's lovely.
::So first of all, let's talk about--
::there's so much lovely stuff to unpack here
::that I'm no longer sleepy.
::Oh, good.
::I'm glad.
::Good morning.
::Good morning to you, Parker.
::Good morning.
::And I'm tipping my--
::I'm pretending that I have a hack that's one of those--
::they ever see back in the:::there would be the people they'd say,
::"News of the day!"
::Oh, yeah.
::And they'd have the little--
::the cats.
::Like a page boy cat.
::They'd have the newspaper.
::Yeah.
::A new-- a newsy.
::They would call--
::The newsies.
::That's right.
::That's also a movie.
::I think.
::Yeah.
::Pretty sure that's a new--
::I wouldn't know.
::I wouldn't know about that.
::OK.
::Sorry.
::Listen, there's so much going on here.
::This place is pretty--
::I'm going to just--
::should I paint the seascape?
::Or should we--
::do you want to paint the seas--
::we talked about separating out who does the--
::you were going to talk about it,
::then I would tell you what colors.
::Oh, right.
::Well, why don't I paint some of the seascape
::and then you can color it in.
::OK.
::That's what we'll try.
::So let's--
::I'm going to close my eyes and tell--
::well, you point to me when you want me to tell the audience
::the color that everything is.
::Because that will be my--
::OK.
::For this episode.
::All right.
::So I'll point to you when that's ready.
::Well, let's see.
::Oh, gosh, the pressure.
::I'm not used to painting seascapes.
::Well, we're in Shane's Olive Shack.
::And it's kind of decorated a little bit like a shack.
::They have wood paneling on the walls.
::Although it's a little bit more reminiscent of your grandfather's
::basement kind of wood paneling.
::And there's just pictures of pimentos all over the place.
::Because Shane's Olive Shack is very pro pimento or pimiento,
::depending on how you want to pronounce it.
::There's stuffed pimentos on kind of just rustic benches.
::Because, again, going for the shack look, it's quite crowded.
::And we're sitting in the middle at a kind of a fold out Costco
::table because I brought it myself.
::And that's all I had.
::So just to add to that--
::and I'll just look at my notes in order--
::green, green again, green.
::Then there is a light blue, green.
::Right.
::And then beige.
::And beige would be the last one.
::Wow.
::So no brown and no red.
::Interesting.
::Yeah.
::So I would also like to say that we're
::talking about the grandfather's basement.
::Yeah.
::And that-- yeah.
::My grandfather's basement was--
::it was an earthen basement.
::Earthen?
::Like a dugout ground?
::Earthen.
::Like a gopher hole?
::And it was separate from the house.
::Yeah.
::And he never actually introduced me to it.
::But I stumbled upon it.
::When I-- because when I was--
::back then, they used to let you go out and explore the yard
::and everything.
::I remember that.
::And yeah.
::And one day, I was walking around out out the backyard.
::I went into the woods.
::And I took a turbo fall.
::I'm not going to lie.
::And I fell down this basement.
::And I remember just falling through down this tunnel.
::And it seemed like for ages.
::And then I finally--
::I hit the bottom of the tunnel.
::And now I know you're going to say that this is wild.
::But I saw a rabbit at the bottom of the tunnel.
::So I was going to ask you, Parker,
::if either one or two things happened, thing one,
::potentially, you fell into a well.
::Or thing two, did you read like Alice in Wonderland
::right before you went outside?
::So I knew you were going to say that because this is--
::you'd like to bring up stuff that is very embarrassing for me.
::Right.
::I guess that's-- you're a shocking person.
::Oh.
::Are you doing shock jock right now?
::Because it seems like it would be a good time to do shock jock.
::No, because I'm doing hurt jock right now.
::Oh, because you're hurt because of my response.
::I got it.
::Yeah.
::Yeah, because as I was saying it the whole time,
::I said she's going to say the Lewis Carroll thing.
::She's-- and I know it's Lewis Carroll
::because that's--
::my grandfather had that book always on his desk.
::It would sometimes fall asleep reading--
::sometimes fall asleep reading.
::Right, like the thing that I just said.
::Yeah.
::So you're reading it before you went out.
::Let's just walk past this.
::OK, we'll just move right past this.
::All right, so why don't we move on to the news we've got
::this week in the Gazette.
::Say hi.
::Gave some-- there's someone I recognize.
::Oh, yeah.
::Let's say hi.
::Yeah.
::Yeah.
::No, it's a--
::because this is-- I'm pretty sure that this is the--
::this looks like the person that we thought was a--
::remember from another--
::I don't know if you remember this, but several weeks back,
::we were at a funeral party.
::Yeah, no, of course I remember.
::It was haunted.
::You owe me money for the stuff you brought.
::It was haunted.
::Well, that's the thing.
::I don't believe it was because I think
::that the person who owned the funeral
::part was standing back there in the audience.
::Oh, yeah.
::That's Linda.
::She's waving.
::Yeah, she's a ghost.
::I don't think she is because it looks like she's just waving
::to us and she's--
::Yeah, I'm alive.
::I don't see any kind of translusiveness or anything
::else I'm telling you.
::I think the wallpaper there might have been complex.
::Oh, my goodness.
::Yeah, I can't see through her at all.
::Everybody thinks that.
::Yeah.
::No.
::I mean, maybe one of us should go over there
::and just tap her something, ask her first.
::No, I'm alive.
::Tap on the shoulder and just see if the hand goes right
::through the shoulder or something.
::OK, I'll be right back.
::OK.
::Hold on a second.
::OK, I'll watch.
::I'm just going to take a walk.
::From a distance.
::Take a walk over here.
::Hi.
::She's not talking, but that doesn't mean anything.
::Yeah, that doesn't--
::Hey, look, I'm dead.
::I'm tapping just fine.
::Click, click, click on the shoulder.
::See?
::Hi.
::And she's swaying.
::Just look at a pat.
::Parker, try saying something to her.
::Try saying something.
::Like, how do you do?
::Do a fake tip of the hat and see if she does a fake tip
::of a hat right back.
::What are you doing?
::Is that a greeting?
::She's smiling.
::Oh, it's a grimace.
::There's fangs.
::No, they are--
::You're seeing stuff.
::There's no fangs.
::There's a pronounced K-19.
::You know, I can hear you.
::I'm right here.
::I'm going to walk my way through the crowd.
::There seems to be a crowd in front of us.
::Yeah, well, are you going to give me that money?
::Excuse me.
::Isn't that why we came over here?
::Yeah, listen, we decided to come here in prime time this time,
::instead of coming early in the morning,
::just so we could see a lot of people.
::And we thought we'd be a little bit more social-bulf.
::This way.
::But it's a bit more of a risk coming at such a busy time,
::of course.
::OK.
::So I'm going to be quiet now.
::And it's your turn to do your thing.
::All right, so let's do this week in the Gazette.
::Hold for bumper.
::[MUSIC PLAYING]
::The Gazette.
::All right, so I have some headlines from the Gackleton
::Gazette.
::And we'll just step through them.
::This is what's happening in Gackleton.
::We're just bringing you the news.
::Like, public access radio probably should.
::So the first headline we have is Local Man's Tomatoes
::Suspiciously Ripe, Neighbor's Demand Investigation.
::And that's right.
::It's really early in the year for completely ripe tomatoes,
::especially when this news came out a week ago.
::It's-- you know, Gackleton, it takes a while for them to ripen.
::And these tomatoes were already completely ripe.
::Should I talk now?
::Yeah, it's your turn, Parker.
::OK.
::Well, I love tomatoes.
::And I have no more commentary with this.
::Oh, OK.
::That's-- no, that's completely fair.
::I'm trying to be positive.
::I'm trying to be positive.
::Yeah, no, that's good.
::And in any kind of--
::you know, there's a war going on right now
::between the people who say that they're--
::what was the story?
::People said they were ripe or something?
::Yeah, they were suspiciously ripe.
::Well, there's a war going on right now,
::being fought in the alleys, in the tunnels,
::and the-- the-- the-- the burrows, and the mines,
::all around Gackleton, between these people
::and the-- the tomato guy.
::And I'm not going to be part of this.
::So I'm going to sit back, and I'm
::going to enjoy my chai latte that I'm drinking.
::And, you know, thank you.
::OK, good.
::I'm feeling good.
::And we're going to be friendly to this episode.
::We're taking no sides in this harpled battle.
::Yeah, well, I mean, I have to say,
::I haven't really taken a side myself,
::because I'm more of a potato file than a tomato file,
::even though they're both nightshades and everything.
::Yeah, I'm just going to leave this right here.
::I pretty much-- I don't have too many opinions
::when it comes to tomatoes.
::And I guess I'll probably just leave it at that.
::What-- why-- why are you making a listener?
::Parker has taken a swig of his beverage
::and is making a face.
::I don't-- I don't--
::I don't believe that was my beverage.
::Oh.
::Yeah.
::Yeah, that was-- that was actually not-- that was a--
::well, that was--
::I shouldn't have made that face.
::It was a garlic-infused olive oil.
::That it seems to have--
::I seem to have digested a good half cup of it.
::Oh.
::And, you know, it was--
::I did not realize that I was--
::I had-- I had this here, and we'll just have to sit
::and see how I do.
::Yeah.
::So thank you.
::Oh, well, no problem.
::Yeah, you have to be careful when you're
::in any of these olive spaces, because there's
::a lot of olive oil around.
::And Shane's is no exception to having garlic infusion.
::In fact, I think it's part of the battle
::between Doreen and Shane is garlic infusion based.
::Oh, yeah, absolutely.
::And I'll be honest with you.
::And I know that--
::I know that, OK, Shane's back.
::Hey, you better not be just barely--
::He is shaking his fist.
::[LAUGHTER]
::He's-- Shane is a--
::he's a big fellow, isn't he?
::He is a very--
::yeah, very--
::I mean, very large personality as well.
::You're a pepper.
::Yeah.
::He seems like-- he's where?
::I said so that I can paint a little seascape for the listener
::here.
::He seems to be where-- he's wearing a--
::what are the things--
::the things called where they put the tie around the back
::of the neck, but there's also the front piece so that they
::can't spill grape juice and stuff on them?
::A bib?
::A bib.
::A bib.
::He's wearing-- he's wearing a--
::I think he's wearing a bib.
::Right.
::Yeah.
::That's what you call it.
::He's wearing a--
::what looks like a large--
::Say no baby bib.
::A large bib.
::And he has a--
::Oh, did I?
::--that thing that looks--
::almost like a bonnet, which I don't understand why he's
::trying to look like a--
::Oh, did I?
::He almost looks like-- you ever see that--
::the nursery rhyme version of Little Bo Peep?
::Because he also has the cane?
::Yeah.
::Yeah, like the sheep--
::the sheep herder.
::Because Little Bo Peep was a--
::herded sheep.
::And so--
::Yeah.
::--like a sheep king.
::You would know sexy if it slapped you on the face.
::He reminds me a little bit of Little Bo Peep, doesn't he?
::Yeah.
::Yeah, he-- wow, I'm not going to be
::able to get that out of my eye space,
::speaking of cones and rods.
::Yeah.
::He's like, caught a rod.
::Yeah, well, that's--
::I caught a rod.
::He's like-- he looks like a very large burly, let's say,
::version of Little Bo Peep, which is OK.
::Oh, totally.
::I mean, when you've named the--
::I don't think that's what it's--
::Sorry, sorry, Parker.
::Oh, no, I'm sorry.
::Oh, no, I'm sorry.
::I'm so sorry.
::OK.
::I'm so sorry.
::No.
::No.
::No.
::OK.
::OK, stop.
::Stop.
::We're going to--
::I'm so sorry.
::I am-- no, that is OK.
::OK.
::So we should-- so I--
::when this happens, we spoke about doing our little reset.
::Yeah.
::OK.
::So reset button, pushed.
::Did the-- yeah.
::It's like a virtual button, so it's like just a button
::inside my head.
::It's not a physical button like the bleep box.
::Oh, I should move the bleep box over.
::We didn't-- we didn't even need the bleep box.
::We didn't even need it yet.
::We are doing really good, Parker.
::We are-- the way of this is that this might be our best one yet.
::Yeah.
::OK.
::So anyway, Shane looks like--
::he looks like what I imagined to be a giant, wonderful
::version of himself.
::Yeah.
::Which I'm not sure if that's his intent to look like a fairy
::tale or not, but it's wonderful.
::Is little Bo Beep a fairy tale?
::I thought it was real.
::That's a good question.
::Well, I don't--
::I always thought it was a real person.
::I am a little Bo Peep, so like a historical figure, perhaps.
::Yeah.
::From, you know, I could--
::I'm not going to say no to that.
::Yeah.
::I always thought it was like a young person that
::lived in structure.
::I-- yeah.
::Well, so if it is, we have to be careful.
::Because Jen, when she--
::when she gave me the scolding after the incident
::at the funeral parlor, she said that if we ever
::bring up real people, we have to be careful.
::Because there's lots of--
::and she's made a big deal out of this.
::There's lots of crackleton people, lawyers, I guess now,
::in crackleton, who she said will--
::and she said they're going to sue that diaper right off yet.
::And I wasn't wearing a diaper.
::Sue the diaper right off yet.
::I know, but that sounds like Jen.
::Yeah.
::That's not-- like Jen would say that.
::Sounds like Jen.
::I mean, because Jen's not afraid of litigation.
::So she would totally be OK with saying something like that,
::even if it wasn't true.
::But I mean, we're afraid of litigation.
::I mean, she's afraid of us doing litigious things.
::But if she says the things, it's totally fine.
::That's what-- that's what I--
::that's the assumption I got anyways.
::But I'm not very good at these things.
::Yeah.
::Well, move on.
::We don't know about little book people or not.
::We don't.
::And--
::Yeah.
::But I'm pretty sure--
::We've got nothing about that.
::I'm pretty sure that little book people
::is a real person in Shropshire.
::No.
::No, no, no.
::OK.
::You know what?
::I'm going to--
::how about this?
::And I don't mean to get--
::they say you're not supposed to argue on these things.
::But how about if you want to keep going down this route,
::then I'm going to go and make friends with--
::what's his name?
::Shane.
::And then I will--
::you-- yeah, you do your show.
::And then, you know, I'm not going to say that I quit or anything.
::You're going to walk off the show right now
::when we've only done one news heading?
::We've only done one news heading.
::Is this-- OK.
::Then how about this?
::How about we-- we're not going to do the reset thing,
::because that's silly.
::Shane is beckoning me over.
::OK.
::I'm going to go over and see what he wants.
::OK.
::And then you do your news thing.
::And yeah, we'll be good from there.
::OK?
::No more.
::We'll call it a truce.
::All right.
::We'll call it--
::OK.
::We'll call it a truce, if that's what you need to do.
::OK.
::Trying to get through the crowd here.
::Sorry.
::OK.
::All right.
::So let's hear the second news story.
::It's hardware store owner changes hours.
::Entire town's schedule thrown into chaos.
::Yeah.
::That's right.
::I really wanted a hammer, and I couldn't go get a hammer.
::All right.
::Moving on to number three then.
::Corncake Bake Off sued for plagiarism by the Linford Town
::Corncake Bake Off.
::I don't know how to do this without Parker, though.
::And Parker's way over there.
::And it looks like Parker's drinking more olive oil
::and not enjoying it.
::So I'm more interested in the olive oil.
::But anyways, more litigious stuff in Gragleton around the--
::Oh, thank you.
::Oh, thank you.
::Oh, thank you.
::OK.
::I'm getting back.
::I'm coming back.
::No, no, no.
::That's fine.
::That's fine, Shane.
::OK.
::OK.
::I'm back.
::I'm sorry about that.
::That's OK.
::I got through the other two news stories.
::I'm sure you did wonderful.
::Shane, apparently, is a very--
::he's a javial fellow.
::And he gave me a bunch of free samples that I did not want.
::And he's so happy that we're here.
::Hey, Shane.
::And I-- OK.
::Can we move on and just--
::We should move on.
::Call it-- can we hit reset or call it to start?
::Can we pretend this is the start of the show?
::Let's pretend.
::3, 2, 1, go.
::3, 2, 1.
::2, 1.
::1.
::OK.
::We're starting.
::We're restarting, but we're going to restart right at the ad
::point, because we're going to go to a friend of the show,
::has a thing to say about Doreen's "Olive Hollow," in fact.
::And then we'll be right back after that.
::Wonderful.
::Wonderful.
::Bye.
::Bye.
::[MUSIC PLAYING]
::This show is brought to you by Doreen's "Olive Hollow"
::in Gragleton.
::Doreen does not allow pimentos or pimeantos in any of her olives.
::That's right.
::Doreen will stuff her olives with anything
::except for those nasty, awful peppers that are not
::welcome in her store.
::In fact, nobody that even likes those kind of peppers
::outside of a olive or inside of an olive
::is welcome inside of her store.
::But you can find all of stuffed with all sorts of other things,
::everything from gobstoppers to garlic.
::That's right, gobstoppers to garlic.
::In fact, you might like her garlic stuffed olives that
::are never stuffed with garlic.
::In fact, Doreen says "FU" to any form of garlic,
::just like she says "FU" to any pimentos or pimeantos.
::So come down to Doreen's "Olive Hollow"
::unless you like pimeantos or pimentos.
::In that case, go to Shane's.
::[MUSIC PLAYING]
::We're at public access.
::All right, we're back.
::And you know a little bit more about Doreen's "Olive Hollow,"
::which is sponsoring the show, which is today happening
::at Shane's "Olive Shack," which is pretty much
::Doreen's main competitor in town.
::So I went back to go to the bathroom.
::And I walked into--
::I guess it was the storeroom.
::And it is-- the room back there is a place of memory
::and fancy.
::You should see this place.
::Wow.
::It looked-- remember I said earlier when I went down--
::I fell down the hole in my youth.
::Down the hole.
::Like you basically read Lewis Carroll before you went outside.
::That's not what happened.
::We're not going to get into litigation over this.
::So at one point, there was a giant--
::you ever see those?
::They used to make them.
::There were a wonderful toy from our youth.
::And it looked like a caterpillar.
::But when you squeezed it, the face lit up a little bit.
::Oh, yeah, a glow worm.
::A glow-- it was wonderful.
::So back when I was--
::but the best toy ever from my youth,
::I loved those things.
::Because you could snuggle it.
::And at the same time, it would act as a night light
::and it would act as--
::for several years, it was my only friend.
::It makes the ghosts go away.
::Moving on from that, we're not going to--
::Well, that's what it does.
::I mean--
::No, thank you.
::They didn't market it that way, but that's what it does.
::I still have one.
::OK, so remember, this is just a note that--
::Jen cut this out later on when you're cutting stuff out.
::Jen's not going to listen to us.
::Yes, she will.
::She's-- we're back on better terms.
::We're not going to talk--
::we said talk.
::We're not going to talk about vampires.
::We're not going to talk about werewolves.
::We're not going to talk about goblins.
::We're not going to talk about any kind of leprechauns.
::We're not going to talk about sprites.
::We're not going to talk about any kind of sea monsters.
::We're not going to talk about ghouls or ghosts.
::We're not going to talk about spirits or poltergeists.
::These are the things we don't--
::So we're only going to talk about real people
::like little bo peep in "Shropter."
::And we're not going to talk about anything litigious.
::So Jen, you can put this back in.
::We're starting again.
::Yeah, OK, let's start again.
::Oh, we have to talk about gym shoes at some point,
::because that's our theme.
::And we haven't even talked about gym shoes yet.
::OK, so I'm going to-- let me finish this up real quick.
::Back when I fell down--
::my youth, I fell down the hall and everything else.
::I went through a series of misadventures involving cards,
::but that's neither here nor there.
::And then at some point, there was a large glow worm
::that appeared to be smoking.
::It looked like a large metal.
::There was metal on it that had some kind of--
::it looked like an herb of sorts, an incense maybe.
::And he would smoke that.
::And there'd be bubbles and all this crazy stuff.
::It was a misadventure.
::And anyway, Shane back in his room had one of those.
::And he was smoking, smoking so much.
::I said, you shouldn't smoke.
::Your lungs will not be happy.
::And he just-- he hugged me and patted me on the back.
::Oh, that's really--
::He still backed me down, I think.
::That's quite nice.
::That's quite nice.
::I know what those things are.
::They're really close to a word I'd have to bleep, though.
::So I'm not going to say it.
::OK, OK, so our next segment is a new segment on the show.
::So Jen, add a new bumper.
::Hold for bumper.
::Hold for new bumper.
::[MUSIC PLAYING]
::Ask us.
::Ask us stuff.
::Please?
::Please ask us.
::So this is Ask Parker and Tog.
::Ask Parker and Tog.
::So we got some questions to the show,
::because now we're getting questions, I suppose,
::to our answering machine.
::Oh my goodness, OK.
::I am-- well, this is great.
::I'm going to sit back in my snotty shirt
::and answer the questions.
::All right, so I'm just going to get out my other tape player
::here, and I'm just going to play what went on our answering
::machine, because Jen made the tapes for that.
::So here's our first question.
::Our first question comes from--
::I have it written down--
::Rickland Pi, spelled P-Y-E.
::Rickland Pi.
::And the question here--
::Rickland Pi.
::Wonderful.
::So I'll just play it here.
::[BEEP]
::How do you both feel about wearing hats?
::Oh, that's interesting, because we were talking about hats.
::But you were wearing a fictitious hat, like a not real hat.
::Like a not real hat, yeah, because I don't wear it in real life.
::I would never wear a hat.
::Never wear it.
::A million billion billion years ago.
::My mom used to tell me, and she still does,
::that the only thing about me that is worthwhile is my hair.
::And she said that I talk about not wanting anybody
::to see my face, because I am--
::well, I have a fictitious say that I have a face that only
::my mother could love.
::Um.
::[HORN HONKING]
::[HORN HONKING]
::Yeah, OK.
::All right.
::[HORN HONKING]
::I-- hopefully Rickland didn't send us this question on purpose.
::Yeah.
::But you know what?
::Your fictitious hat that you mimed at the beginning of this episode,
::it looked really fantastic on you, Parker.
::I wish I could wear a face hat.
::You wish you could wear a fake hat?
::A face hat.
::A hat to cover my face.
::Oh.
::I see.
::It's fudging horrible.
::Yeah.
::It's a fudging--
::Oh, let me--
::Fudging piece of fudge.
::[BEEPING]
::Fudging piece of fudge.
::Yeah.
::I got-- hey, there's everybody--
::Hold on.
::I'm so fed up at this point.
::Is everybody happy to see me?
::Is everybody happy?
::This is me.
::I am not entertained at my face.
::Not really.
::Just stop it.
::I'm sick of it.
::Why are you yelling?
::I'm sorry about that.
::I just-- you can bleep that whole thing out.
::I'm sorry, Todd.
::I didn't mean to ruin your show.
::No, you didn't ruin it.
::That's OK.
::Um.
::OK.
::The people are not happy to see me either there.
::We really don't care.
::Yeah, I know.
::I mean, they're shouting stuff.
::We don't know the hell you are.
::I don't know if I can pay the seascape for the audience,
::but there are several people right now who were not happy to see me,
::and they seem to not like me very much.
::I think they just wanted to get their olives and go.
::Perhaps I am making a--
::making a mountain out of a hole in my-- the yard.
::So thank you.
::Yeah.
::We'll continue.
::Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was just a puddle.
::Um, I only wear top hats.
::Question two.
::Would you ever sample something out of one of the bins at bulk bins?
::Say if Dan wasn't looking at that particular time
::and you wouldn't get caught?
::And this was sent in by Anonymous, not on our answering machine.
::This was a letter that was sent in, which is a good question.
::I've thought about it all the time.
::I think about it every time I go into bulk bins.
::I mean, I'm the biggest fan, I think, of bulk bins is me, Tog.
::The second you walk inside, well, first of all, you're Tog, not me.
::Yeah, I'm Tog.
::Yeah, I'm Tog.
::Yeah.
::Yeah, but you called me Tog just then.
::No, I didn't.
::Yeah, well, play back the tape.
::Okay, play back the tape.
::Okay.
::Yeah.
::I didn't call you Tog.
::I called me Tog because I'm Tog.
::Jen, the producer here and it sounds like we're doing...
::No replay.
::I'm the biggest fan, I think, of bulk bins is me, Tog.
::All right, sorry there, Parker Buddy.
::It was pretty clear that Tog was referring to themselves.
::Let's listen to it one more time.
::It's me, Tog.
::All right, there you have it.
::Parker was wrong.
::The second you walk into bulk bins, Tog, is that you?
::Yeah, that's me.
::Your eyes light up like what kind of salt lights, salt lamps?
::Yeah.
::That's, you know that?
::Yeah.
::They're like...
::They're like orange though.
::You're saying that my eyes light up like orange lights?
::I mean, that sounds like a bit...
::We're not supposed to talk about vampires or specters or anything on this show.
::But that's making me sound a lot like a specter.
::Do you remember when Confession Time, okay, I don't know if there's confession music here.
::Maybe Jen will add some...
::Jen, can you put in confession music?
::I think Jen might add some...
::Yeah.
::Okay.
::When you first had me move in as a roommate, remember I was cooking a lot with the garlic
::and everything?
::Yeah.
::Because I was convinced for the first 48 to 72 hours that you were a vampire.
::Oh, that makes a lot of sense.
::And I tried to put that cook hat on you and you swatted away and started crying and ran
::to your room and slammed the door.
::And I was like, why...
::It's like a cooking hat makes sense with somebody who does so much cooking.
::I thought it was a funeral garb that you had put on me.
::Right.
::We were trying to.
::You wouldn't let me get anywhere close to you.
::Yeah.
::Would not let you.
::I was not going to.
::There's one thing that I learned from my mom.
::It was if anybody tries to practice anything, a cult on you had been the opposite direction.
::Yeah.
::Go to the kitchen and cook with garlic.
::And so that's what you did.
::That's what I did.
::And here we are.
::And here we are.
::Best friends now.
::My eyes light up like orange specter eyes when I go into bulk bins and I look at those
::wonderful, wonderful bins.
::And, you know, I have to say question two triggers a lot for me because I really, really want
::to sample something out of the bins every time I go in there.
::I actually want to open every single bin and sample one thing out and see how fresh it
::is because it's always so fresh.
::And I never do that.
::I never do that.
::I would never do that to bulk bins.
::It has a sign right on the door that says do not sample anything or we will slam the top
::of the bin down on your fingers.
::Don't test us.
::We actually will do that.
::And I know that Dan will.
::Dan who owns bulk bins.
::I don't know if we're allowed to say this, but Dan's not a good person.
::What?
::As far as I can account.
::What?
::You got to do this like shock jock because this is a very shocking opinion to me.
::Dan's not a good person.
::How could you say something like that on this show?
::Oh, well, okay.
::I thought I was just trying to -- I'm joking.
::I was trying to get your goat.
::You got my goat.
::Good.
::Okay.
::Dan is one of the most --
::Okay.
::-- people there is to open such an establishment within Gragleton where you could go get things
::and bulk which are a really good price.
::Tog, Tog.
::Yeah, I was just -- I knew how much that you liked Dan.
::And I thought that I'd get you to do good radio because you've not been doing so good this show.
::And so I thought that I would try to get a rise out of you.
::Hold on.
::Do you see what's happening over there?
::I have to wipe off my face on the inside of my shirt for a second.
::I can't see anything.
::And I've got a lot of snob coming out of my nose right now.
::And it's very embarrassing especially since I'm in the middle of an eating establishment.
::And like I said, the phlegm doesn't go good with olives at all.
::And actually it's two very contrasting textures that don't go together.
::Actually just the thought of an olive with phlegm together in your mouth squatching together, it makes me --
::[coughing]
::Can we talk down if possible behind the counter because --
::Because Doreen is approaching.
::[coughing]
::What kind of honk was that? That was crazy.
::I think I'm better now.
::Oh my goodness.
::Sorry.
::Do we want to move this outside real quick? Can we get the set up and move outside?
::Yeah, let's move outside.
::Okay, hold on.
::Alright, let's collect all this stuff.
::Okay, how about we just -- do you want to just grab one end of the table and I'll grab my end of the table.
::And then we'll just carry the whole table out.
::Do you want to try doing that?
::Bye guys.
::Bye.
::We're going now.
::Bye.
::Love you.
::Love you.
::Okay.
::I like seeing Bob.
::I think she's going to like the place of Sunder.
::I think she's going to like the place of Sunder.
::Oh, you think that's what's happening?
::Yeah.
::I don't want to -- I thought it was --
::I don't want any parts of this.
::That's not olive oil then.
::That's not olive oil.
::I don't believe it is.
::I believe it might be some kind of whale oil or something that'll light a Sunder.
::Oh, you got the good one.
::Look at Shane's putting some of it in his hair to go -- he thinks it's olive oil,
::but it's not olive oil.
::Oh, gosh.
::Oh, boy.
::We should get out of here.
::Let's keep moving the table.
::We're outside now.
::Everybody, we're in front of the parking lot, and we're going to finish the segment,
::ask Parker and Tog with question three.
::The question three is, oh, it's one for me to play on a cassette tape.
::So this is a question from Barbara Ann.
::Barbara Ann, I'm just going to play it.
::Would you blame your dog?
::And that's it.
::That's -- I guess that's the whole message that was left, was just, would you blame your dog?
::I don't think that dogs have any kind of capacity for badness.
::So there was a movie that, you know, the movie I'm talking about, where they -- no dogs,
::they all go to heaven.
::Yeah.
::Yeah.
::Yeah, so no.
::Yeah, you wouldn't blame a dog.
::No, that's stupid.
::That's stupid.
::Well, I don't think that dogs feel shame.
::So I wouldn't blame a dog because I don't think dogs feel shame, and that you should only blame
::someone if they feel deep, deep, deep, unrelenting shame in the cornerstones of their heart.
::Okay.
::So there's -- I think that there's a lot of implications that are --
::And that would be how you should feel about saying such things about Dan from Bulk Bins.
::Tog, listen, we're going to get through -- this is what we're going to do.
::Yeah.
::We're going to get through the -- we're going to get through the broadcast.
::Yeah.
::And then you and I, we're going to go.
::We're going to get some beautiful baked goods together.
::Right.
::Yeah.
::And we're going to talk this out.
::All right.
::And you'll see that I was just being -- I was being a silly goose.
::Okay.
::That sounds good, but because there's baked goods involved, and I like silly geese, just
::like little bo peep from Shropshire probably does as well.
::Okay.
::So I'm going to just -- we'll go to Add, and then we'll come back.
::We'll do our final segment, and then we get to end the show and go get the baked goods.
::Yeah.
::Oh, my gosh.
::Okay.
::Wonderful.
::Go.
::Okay.
::Bye.
::[ Music ]
::>> Black public access.
::All right.
::We're back.
::We're back at Outside Shanes, all the shack.
::And our sponsor this week is Doreen's Olive Hollow, and our theme is gym shoes, which we've
::done some running this week.
::This show we've done running.
::That's all I have.
::I feel like we checked the theme, but there is just as --
::Yeah.
::So I'll quickly do the weather.
::[ Music ]
::Today's weather is brought to you by Doreen's Olive Hollow.
::We stuff hollow things with stuff.
::Get stuffed at Doreen's.
::This is our new tagline.
::Okay.
::[ Music ]
::If possible, could I do the weather forecast if that's all right?
::Of course, Parker.
::Go for it.
::Okay.
::Here we go.
::Today's weather is, um -- well, suspect.
::What does that mean?
::Parker, I think that says sunny.
::Jen's writing is really bad.
::[ Music ]
::And that's the weather brought to you by Doreen's Olive Hollow.
::We heard you're going to do a show at Shanes, and we are going to sponsor that damn show.
::That's what I say, and I'm Doreen.
::Well, she did.
::[ Music ]
::Okay, we're back.
::So, you know what?
::I'm going to go.
::Well, if you could just speak to our demo person, because we've got a demo scheduled for next,
::I'm just going to run inside.
::I'm going to just run inside into Shanes' Olive Shack and see what's going on.
::And you're going to talk -- what I have down here on the Post-It.
::You're going to have fun with this with Jen, who has a demo for Doreen's Olive Hollow.
::What?
::Yeah.
::Oh, my God.
::There she comes.
::Oh, there she is.
::Okay, I'm going to just run inside.
::I'm just going to run inside.
::Now, Todd, Duncan.
::Yeah, no.
::Be safe.
::All right.
::Oh, my God.
::Hey, Parker.
::How you doing?
::How you doing there, buddy?
::Hi, Jen.
::Jen, you missed a horrible, horrific experience.
::The entire thing was horrible.
::Yeah.
::I -- there were people who were -- we thought were poltergeist, that word.
::And there was, you know, there was lots of accusations flying around about Lewis Carroll
::and about Lil Bo Peep.
::Right.
::And there was a whole showing with the smoke.
::Okay.
::And he was parading around and pure what happened.
::And then there was --
::Hey, Parker, what?
::What?
::No, wait.
::Yeah, no, it was --
::Parker, I was just going to tell you, hey, buddy, I'm not your mom.
::You don't -- I was just going to -- I was just looking for a fine.
::However, you just mentioned -- and I do need some more details on that.
::No, thank you.
::Okay.
::I mean, I have more questions about that, but that probably will be a long story, too,
::imagine.
::Okay.
::All right.
::No, let's just -- we're not going to go through.
::No.
::Okay, well, let me just get set up here.
::So, I'm here on behalf of Doreen's Olive Hollow to give a demo of how Doreen makes a particular
::fancy dish at the Olive Hollow that's called Doreen's FU to the Pimiento, or Doreen's FU
::to the Pimento, depending on how you pronounce it.
::Okay.
::Yeah.
::No.
::I'm not doing this.
::There's been too much dirtiness on this show already and too much horrible fill.
::Well, I actually said it the clean way.
::I said FU, not FU.
::Oh, my God.
::Okay.
::I mean, that's what Doreen calls it in the shop is Doreen's FU to the Pimento, or Pimento.
::No, no, okay.
::We got us -- okay.
::First of all, your demo, you have little baggies of everything in front of you.
::Yes.
::I think this does not look professional.
::Why did you do that?
::they are they are ziplock baggies but it's full of garlic pretty much each one so if there are
::any vampires around here you don't need to worry because there is so much garlic in these bags
::I mean it was tough to drive over here let me say uh so I mean it's like garlic wrapped and
::garlic wrapped and garlic wrapped and garlic wrapped and garlic wrapped and garlic garlic acids
::okay this is gonna sound a while um but this may
::not be a bad idea um so uh I don't I hate to betray somebody that I love
::but I'm pretty sure that talks a vampire oh the orange eye thing
::yeah yeah right 90 yeah right isn't that weird the orange the the okay god I feel like we're
::bonding over this yeah um so like uh talk talk they just they ran into the building right and it was
::like they had some kind of uh shimmer about that oh yeah it's super weird yeah like I can't even figure
::out a pattern though for like exactly how it works because I've seen it with uh coming over to drop
::off cassettes and stuff like which I kind of thought it might have been like when Tog is really
::into something like the bulk bins and like that's where I've seen it and and with like maybe some
::kind of weird attraction but then coming over to the crack dropping off tapes definitely no
::attraction there and yet a little bit of glowing I mean what gives one time um when they were vacuuming
::in the apartment um uh their shadow I think their shadow moved different than their arm you've
::seen the movie how that they they're sitting there but then the shadow makes like a mischievous move
::yeah um but I think that's from the disco ball anyway I think that's from the disco ball well
::they're in fairness there's lots of different angles of like yeah um yeah I'm pretty sure that's
::just the disco ball on that one so fair fair point I'm I guess I'm just trying I'm I am right now
::trying to make arguments to prove a hypothesis right and um no you're scientific no I get it I
::get it you're scientific this is wonderful this has been nice so should I do something with this
::garlic crap yeah I think I should do something with the garlic crap uh right so Doreen's f*ck you
::to the pimento uh it's just okay yeah oh boy keep it just get can you go and not say that again
::I mean remember we bond it so I mean you should be kind of a little bit more on board
::with it it's just the name yeah it's just the name um all right so the one thing that Doreen
::wanted to say is f*ck you to Jarlik god right like god in heaven I'm so sorry god in heaven no no Jarlik
::anywhere in sight this is all garlic that is being like basically ripped out of the ground and pulverized
::with Doreen's great big mitts that's what she calls her hands and she just pulverizes it she sips on it
::she warms it up sometimes before she pulverizes it she says that's an important part of the
::process and she basically just layers garlic garlic garlic garlic on top of it uh dumps a whole
::bunch of olives and a great big thing of like basically garlic oil which is no oil like there's
::no olive oil it's just oiled garlic like apparently you can squeeze oil out of a garlic and she does
::that and uh that's basically it uh she then gems a whole bunch of garlic on the inside of this uh
::and then she sprinkles a whole bunch of garlic powder on top uh she basically takes every different
::way you can prepare garlic uh jams it on this olive uh which i'm just doing right here with my
::hands i'm not putting it under my butt so i figure that part's already being done till i like warm it
::up so i'm not gonna do that or you're crying what's going on i feel like i feel like i feel like
::i have the trait talk yeah i mean we probably did a little bit of that together you and me
::i i've i've told their dark secret what's dark the shimmery thing that's a secret i mean i've
::been telling everyone so okay um let's let's just um let's let our uh let's let our um our um let's
::let our um let's let our bloodthirsty friend uh yeah come back because oh the hypothesis of the whole
::vampire thing i got it yeah the shimmery thing's not a secret uh no one's heard about that
::the the shadow dancing thing but i think that's just a disco ball um yeah you kind of betrayed talk
::okay you pretty much betrayed because i'm not gonna cut any of this out wait we're not yeah you are uh
::i am going to uh listen nobody comes between me and my friends do you understand that uh do you
::understand that jindahan yeah uh nobody comes between me and my friends okay no i if this this is
::u have to you're reading this:::okay yeah well i had a lot of oil today and i feel like it's revved me up like a hot rod yeah no i i see
::oh my goodness gracious okay well look i sound oh i see i see talk over there right now so uh i'm
::just gonna wrap up i'm gonna grab my my thing that i think that was probably sufficient turning
::over okay i'm on my i'm on my way out all right see you later buddy i'll just actually i'm gonna wait
::over there for the tapes because you guys should probably almost be done i'm sorry i hope i didn't
::hurt your feelings with the hot rod oh no no somebody of your stature absolutely can't hurt my
::feelings okay okay uh well okay bye wow okay yeah i think she's my friend yeah um i just uh i just
::got back here she's just standing over there watching us i guess waiting for the tapes yeah
::yeah okay great all right you know we saw a uh demo with uh different types of uh uh uh garlic
::yeah it still smells like garlic around here yeah it does doesn't it why are you looking at me like
::that okay um let's end the program yeah we should end the program uh so the demo's over we're pretty
::much done now so we can just uh wrap it up and then give the tapes to Jen she's tapping her watch so
::i want to get out of here yeah okay and then um i don't know why you're looking at me like that parker
::nope nope no when we walk to the bakery we're gonna take a little detour um there's a uh
::you know st gabriel's church is on the way so uh we're gonna walk through the shadow of that because
