Second Chance, Welcome to die size and welcome back to camp
0:11
Second Chance. This is a role for Shoes
0:13
Adventure that follows troublemakers Goody, Joey and
0:15
Monty as they experience the magic and the mystery of this
0:18
scared straight style summer camp program and playing these
0:22
incredible characters. My whimsical, wild and witty
0:25
table of family members. Here we of course have my
0:28
brother-in-law George. I'm a goodie and I don't know
0:33
where George went. He was being mean to me and
0:36
after I hit him on the head he just disappeared.
0:38
Kicks the body under the couch. Well, good thing I'm not a
0:41
mandated reporter. Up next, we have Rob.
0:45
I don't know what you're talking about.
0:47
It's just me, a Joey Trombone, a boy with a mom sorely missed.
0:52
But don't worry. I'm learning a lot here,
0:54
becoming something of a mentalist.
0:57
Happy to be here and happy to be at this.
0:59
What do you call it? A table?
1:01
Yeah, it looks like a table. I can't tell if you have a very
1:03
bright or very dark future ahead, Joey.
1:05
My mom says that I could go either way if I go down my dad's
1:08
path. Stupid dog.
1:09
But if I if I stay on this straight and narrow like my two
1:12
older sisters, then I might have a chance.
1:15
Joey, did I hear? Are you talking about going down
1:16
your dad's path? How many times do I have to tell
1:18
you don't go down your dad's path?
1:20
I got a natural talent with cars that's in my blood.
1:23
Not my Joey. I'm sorry, mine, I can do
1:26
everything from the ambitious card to three card Monty to
1:30
stand up Monty I got I got a friend name.
1:32
Joey, you're doing the talking thing again.
1:33
Just take your sandwich and be good, OK?
1:35
All right, all right, Ma, thanks.
1:37
This one better not be peanut butter.
1:39
The last one I needed to use an EpiPen.
1:41
I'm pretty sure Monty was the one who had to use the EpiPen.
1:43
And Speaking of Monty, we Maya. Hey, it's pronounced Monty, but
1:51
it's really good try. I'm already planning to allocate
1:54
some of my trust fund to a lawsuit against this camp.
1:59
Second chance for Let me hear it, child.
2:02
Endangerment. Respect the lady.
2:05
I felt endangered. Yeah, you can't scare me
2:07
straight, but I will bring a lawsuit down on you, so don't
2:12
mess with me. I'm.
2:12
Shaking in my boots. Good.
2:14
OK. She had the skill legal team.
2:18
I already have imposters. Oops, she said what she said.
2:27
And with that, it is time for a recap.
2:31
Last time, our campers bravely endured their first full day at
2:35
Camp Second Chance. They managed to choke down their
2:38
breakfast slop while meeting Counselor Brock Sleuth around
2:41
the counselor cabins to eavesdrop on staff, practice
2:45
their talent show skills, and ultimately deliver some of the
2:48
most entertaining acts Camp Second Chance has ever seen.
2:52
Campers went wild for all three of this trio's act, but in the
2:55
end Joey Trombone's ability to read between the lines of what
2:58
was happening at camp put Brock center stage and in the hot
3:02
seat, exposing his less than stellar tattoo of Lottie's face
3:06
as well as his affection for said Co counselor.
3:09
Joey walked away with the wind, inviting Monty and Goody to
3:12
experience the prize alongside him.
3:14
After dinner, the trio packed their bags and were promptly
3:17
ushered toward the forest where they'd have the honor of being
3:21
the first campers of the summer to experience the Lantern path,
3:24
followed by an unsupervised night under the stars.
3:28
They put 1 foot in front of the other and set off toward the
3:31
unknown. Now, the cheers of chatty
3:35
campers and encouragement from camp counselors fades away
3:39
almost suspiciously quickly. Before you know it, you're
3:43
immersed in the dense foliage of the forest.
3:46
If you were to turn around, you'd see only winding path
3:50
behind you and an eerily similar sight up ahead.
3:53
On either side of you, Large, tattered paper lanterns hanging
3:57
in the trees along the path begin to glow.
4:01
They're pulsing with warm, welcoming light, announcing your
4:04
arrival to the official start of the Lantern path.
4:09
What do you do and how do you explore as you feel the sense of
4:12
arrival? Now guys, are you, are you
4:15
seeing what I'm seeing? I don't really know what I'm
4:17
seeing. I feel I see lights.
4:19
I that's what I'm seeing. So I just wanted to make sure
4:21
that we're on the same fucking page, OK?
4:22
Yeah, for something as like renowned as the Lantern Path,
4:26
you'd think that they'd do a little bit more upkeep, but
4:29
that's just me. Yeah, and I don't get scared
4:31
very easily, but I mean, if they're going to try to scare us
4:34
straight, how are they going to do it with some lanterns?
4:37
And it is it. Is it fire or is it like bad
4:40
wiring? I don't know, why don't you
4:41
climb up there and find out, Goody?
4:43
Hold this I give the end of my shoelace to you because I don't
4:46
want to lose you. I Sprint, I run up the wall or.
4:52
Whatever, Like ties it to her wrist.
4:54
Very smart. That's very, very smart.
4:56
OK. That's a classic goody, just
4:57
running up the well I can you do that with shoes on?
5:00
Using that toe grip. Oh, I kick my shoes off as I
5:03
run. Oh boy, here we go.
5:04
OK, so we're going to use toe grip.
5:06
Yeah, I'm going to set the check at an 8 to see if you can get up
5:10
this tree. So you have toe grip 3, three.
5:12
Yeah. That's an 11.
5:15
So you succeed on running up the tree.
5:18
You only had 1-6, so you're a little far away from leveling up
5:20
a totally new skill, but you did succeed on the check, so you're
5:23
able to run up the tree. What does it look like as you
5:25
attempt to investigate these lanterns?
5:28
I think I follow the the flickering light and I'm looking
5:32
for anything that looks like man made versus natural Violet
5:37
Lantern and I think I grab the bark like with my feet almost
5:41
sideways like toe gripping each bark.
5:43
Really. Primate.
5:44
Each. Oh yeah, and I'm hanging upside
5:46
down looking at the Lantern. OK, we've got a monkey bat.
5:51
Hey, guys. Hey, guys.
5:52
I can see it. What do you what am I looking
5:53
for? Do you see like a wire like a
5:56
solar panel? Like I don't think they'd be
5:58
that advanced, but maybe like a like a fire like.
6:01
I I see a little little leaves. I don't know anything past that
6:04
yet. Also, how the fuck do you do
6:06
that? Oh, when I was, when I was
6:08
younger, I had to get across the river to go to my home and I
6:12
would basically just kind of hop from my toes to each Pebble that
6:16
was exposed in the water and my toes just got weird.
6:20
I'll just tell you, when you do a lot of things with your toes,
6:22
it just kind of get weird. Yeah, that's what Bruce Lee said
6:24
about his knuckles. I oh really?
6:27
I think I try to do like a one inch toe punch and I like blow a
6:30
hole. That's OK.
6:33
Yeah, let's just stay up there for now.
6:35
We're looking at a lot of things.
6:36
OK, so you've lowered yourself to get a good line of sight on
6:39
the lanterns. Yeah, I think I'm like trying to
6:40
be a branch above it. Sure.
6:42
So these look man made they look like a traditional paper Lantern
6:46
that someone might like light a tea light in and release at a
6:48
like a you know, like a Lantern send off ceremony.
6:51
There's like a wire cage and this paper is stretched around
6:56
it. The light source doesn't look
6:58
like fire. You don't see a ton of wiring,
7:00
but it looks pretty like maybe an LED bulb.
7:03
Pretty boring. Pretty boring.
7:07
The paper is tattered. It looks like the lantern's in
7:11
rough shape. Guys, I I see it's not even
7:14
fire. It's it's a stupid little LED.
7:17
Is it like battery powered again?
7:19
Like are we looking for wires I. Don't see a lot of wires, it's
7:21
just a it's like a shitty paper Lantern with an LED in it.
7:25
Can you like unhook it? Toe punch.
7:28
Oh, OK, Toe punch. We're toe punching the Lantern.
7:32
The Lantern glows brighter. And are you hoping to, like,
7:36
knock it out of the tree? Yeah.
7:37
Just destructive force. OK.
7:39
Yeah. So it glows brighter and it
7:41
falls out of the tree. And at the same time, you hear,
7:43
like, really loud rumbling, almost as if there's Thunder
7:47
happening in the forest. The councillors briefed you on
7:49
the weather to make sure that you were going to be safe
7:51
tonight. But when you Kick It Out of the
7:53
tree, it's just, like, terribly loud.
7:55
And these Thunder claps are like shaking the ground.
7:58
I put it. Back, Put it back, put it back.
8:00
I run, I run down the tree and guys, guys, guys, guys, I think
8:04
I toe punched lightning. It is a Lantern on the ground.
8:08
It is on the ground and it is still glowing really brightly.
8:11
Goody, I'm sorry. Looks at their feet.
8:14
Batty, I'm gonna need you to put this back.
8:17
To put it back. Put it back.
8:18
Put it back. Why I like get things broken.
8:20
Did you hear what I did? Along the path, the other
8:23
lanterns that are nearby to where you're standing, they
8:25
start to glow as well. The Thunder has stopped, but now
8:29
you feel like the sky is changing color.
8:32
OK, I'll put it back. Yeah, I run up the tree with the
8:36
Lantern and I try to put it back into the place where it was.
8:41
OK, you successfully hook it up there.
8:43
The lights, I would say, are still sort of bright and
8:45
flickering. You're still experiencing a
8:47
little bit of, like, the aftershock and the afterglow of
8:50
some of those weird visual sensations.
8:53
Yeah. So you're back on the path.
8:54
You're righted. There's no Thunder happening.
8:57
The Sky's a little bit of a funky color.
8:58
What do you do next? Guys, I think they put something
9:02
in my lunch or something. Could you could you pull up my
9:05
shoestring muddy? Tugs that.
9:09
You pull them out of the tree. Yeah, that was don't monster
9:12
that I thought it would. Be Daddy, put your shoes back
9:14
on. Don't worry, I think I caught
9:15
them. Hopefully I caught them.
9:16
Can I roll? Can I roll and see if I caught
9:18
them? Yeah.
9:19
I'm gonna roll in. I'm gonna roll for catch Batty.
9:23
Yeah, I mean our street. Magic St.
9:25
Magic works right? St. magic.
9:28
So I'm. Gonna put my shoes on.
9:29
You've got St. Magic too.
9:30
Your check is gonna be a six. That's a six.
9:33
Hey, yes, that's a six total you.
9:35
Successfully catch up. Nice.
9:37
OK, I think the street magic aspect of this is that I don't
9:41
know what the street magic aspect of this is, but I catch
9:43
him and I and I say hey goody, my next trick is to pull you out
9:48
of my hat and I pull him out of my jacket, which he fell into.
9:52
That was a lot of deodorant not there.
9:58
Well, I mean, OK, the jacket's been through a lot.
10:00
You almost go to falling through one of these holes.
10:02
But a good thing I was smart. About it, have you?
10:04
Have you ever washed that? You don't wash a jacket.
10:08
OK, I'm you. Dry clean a jacket I think.
10:12
What's? I'm scared straight.
10:13
I need to. I need to go.
10:15
When you're scared, you don't just make up words, OK?
10:18
That's not a made-up word. I know you just learned to read,
10:20
but it's not a made-up word. It's 2 words together that don't
10:23
make sense. Says that I don't really
10:25
understand, but Patrice went all like my, you know, designer is,
10:30
you know, worn. She takes it all to the dry
10:33
cleaner. I don't know how it works, but
10:34
it comes back smelling great. This is distracting and pleasant
10:38
and not. I don't really want to think
10:39
about the weird colors in the sky and stuff.
10:41
So keep telling me about the pleasant smells of your the dry
10:44
cleaning. One foot in front of the other,
10:45
you know, we'll just keep walking down the path.
10:48
Yeah. They have different scents.
10:49
There's, like fresh linen. There's floral work.
10:53
Yeah. Wildflower.
10:55
Amazing. And there's.
10:57
Like an Aqua mist they have. Like dirt?
11:01
They have more of like an earthy, it's kind of like a
11:03
sandalwood. It could give a little bit of
11:05
dirt if you like thought about it.
11:06
I. Like that one?
11:07
I'll, I'll take that one. As you as you have this
11:09
conversation, it seems like all of your minds are really sort of
11:12
soothed by this pleasant distraction from Monty.
11:14
You're sort of taken out of the context of the forest and
11:17
brought to a much more peaceful place.
11:18
And when you eventually come to and decide to look around after
11:22
this conversation, you notice that the lanterns are glowing
11:24
very peacefully in the forest. Seems to be in a very
11:27
straightforward state. I I Monty, I think you just did
11:31
that. Yeah, I think I just like, bored
11:33
the forest into submission or something.
11:35
Or boring. That was the most beautiful
11:37
story I've ever heard. Oh yeah, I mean, I must have
11:39
just entertained the forest into submission or something.
11:44
Do you guys keep moving forward as you talk?
11:46
I think if we just put 1 foot in front of the other and keep
11:49
walking, don't touch the lanterns, don't climb the trees
11:52
and we'll find the campsite, right?
11:53
I mean like they just what they just said, just walk down the
11:55
path and then we'll be camping. Here, let's let's just all take
11:59
a little bit of a shoelace here, Joey.
12:01
OK, well, just. Take the shoelace.
12:04
OK, All right. I just, I don't, I don't know
12:06
whatever I'm, you know, what kind of plan I'm going to get
12:08
tied up in with you, so. OK.
12:10
Well, it's connected to me too. You know why?
12:14
That's actually I'm he dropped it.
12:19
I don't think I should hold something.
12:20
I mean, where are we? At the Joey's ankle.
12:23
No, you're right, there are no strings attached.
12:25
See, you say things like that and then my brain just kind of
12:27
breaks because I think you're saying one thing and I think you
12:29
might be saying another, but I can't really, I can't be
12:31
confident in either case. As you keep walking, you pass
12:35
more and more lanterns that are glowing really gently.
12:38
If you weren't so sort of like scared by the past experience,
12:40
it would be really, really beautiful.
12:42
It is really, really beautiful. But the lanterns, they look
12:45
really weathered as you pass more and more so.
12:47
Some are torn or ripped, others are stretched taut and sort of
12:51
bulging around their wiry metal frames.
12:54
Some seem to have been tampered with and feature like smeared
12:57
drawings or graffiti. They look worse for wear.
13:01
It's almost like they're tired. That's not right.
13:05
Look at all this. I mean, I feel like I'm starting
13:07
to like this path now that we're, you know, all the weird
13:10
stuff stopped. As you experience this sense of
13:12
joy, Joey, you hear like a really loud rushing babbling
13:17
brook on the other side of the path, even though you know the
13:19
only water source in the area is the lake.
13:23
Excuse me, did I just develop superpowers?
13:27
Because I think I can hear the river that's got to be at least
13:30
three miles that way. The one that's on the other side
13:32
of the lake, there's because there's no other water.
13:34
Around here, I mean, what else can you hear?
13:37
Can you hear anybody talking 3 miles away?
13:38
Let me. See, I think Joey.
13:43
My Joey. Yeah.
13:45
I, I how was your time? Oh, Christ, Joey.
13:49
How's your time? I'm I'm on the other end of the
13:51
fence, 3 miles away. Can you hear me, Joey?
13:56
Your brain and this forest are surely playing tricks on you
14:00
because you know there's no way that your mom has found you all
14:03
the way out here. Joey just screamed into the
14:05
forest. You cannot canonically be here.
14:11
Somehow I am going run this way. You sound so much like Whitey
14:17
Duvall from 8. Crazy 8.
14:19
Crazy nights with Adam Sandler I'm.
14:21
Trying to be Joey's. Ball far away.
14:24
Perfect. OK, so these things keep
14:27
happening. You hear things that you know
14:28
aren't there. You see things that are really
14:30
disorienting on the path. It's a confusing place.
14:33
The sky changes color and then quickly returns to, you know,
14:36
standard nighttime sky. You start to feel a little
14:40
disoriented by all of the overwhelming aspects of the
14:43
forest up ahead. Tangled vines and overgrown
14:47
brush start to crowd the path in really thick clumps.
14:50
Cloud cover suddenly blots out the light of the moon.
14:53
It's so dark aside from the lanterns gentle glow.
14:56
Now you can hear some of their ripped paper fluttering in the
14:59
breeze, and I think you all begin to feel a bit weary in
15:03
their presence. Do you think there's the same
15:06
paper bags they use every fucking year?
15:08
Yeah, I was wondering that too. Can I roll for appraisal to see
15:11
how old these lanterns? Are you?
15:12
Can you have appraisal 4? I'm gonna set the check at 10.
15:20
More than that 13. OK, so you investigate maybe the
15:23
nearest Lantern to you and you see some like stick figure
15:26
drawings and a pencil that have sort of smudged the one across
15:30
the path from it a little ways up ahead.
15:32
You see has like Sharpie that says class of 2020 on it.
15:37
It's 2026, just for reference. Yeah, OK.
15:42
Wow. This one was has been here at
15:44
least six years. This one has a really poor
15:48
drawing on it that looks pretty faded.
15:51
I'd say like at least 30 thunderstorms.
15:57
So if I had to guess, they've only bought one set of lanterns.
16:03
Monty, you're so smart. Thank you.
16:05
That's a really good drawing, though.
16:07
Yeah. It it's really good.
16:09
I couldn't draw like that. All right, how do you count
16:12
thunderstorms? Well, it's like more of like the
16:15
the wear on the threading, you know like when you wear a
16:18
textile certain amount of times it like wears down enough you
16:22
can kind of tell by how many threads.
16:24
Like specifically, you're not and you're not like saying by
16:28
the general quality of the threads, you're saying that you
16:31
can see specifically how many threads there are.
16:35
And like, if I held up, he holds up two different parts of his
16:37
jacket. Which one do I feel?
16:39
The the, the, you know, the thicker breeze through the one
16:43
that really makes me cold. Well, probably the one on your
16:45
left hand, considering that I did poke holes with it in my
16:48
Louboutins. Oh, yeah, that's, that's fair.
16:50
OK, OK, that's fair. It's not.
16:53
That wild Joey you can hear 3 miles away you're.
16:55
Really good at appraising things and to be clear I think I'm
16:59
going insane. I don't think I'm hearing things
17:01
3 miles away, but can I do? A roll?
17:03
Yeah. For what?
17:04
I wanted the roll to see if Goody noticed any kind of
17:07
pattern or puzzle with the lanterns as they were
17:09
flickering. OK.
17:10
Cool, you've got puzzles too. I'm going to set the check at a
17:13
six. 7. Wow.
17:17
OK, so as you took in the lanterns and their glow, you
17:21
don't notice like like a rhythm to their flickering or an order
17:27
that they light up in. They almost remind you of those
17:31
Bluetooth speakers you could buy that sort of respond to music,
17:37
except instead of responding to music, I don't know, it's like
17:40
they're on a wavelength with you all and sort of responding to
17:45
your music of the internal sense.
17:49
Joey, I think I'm going crazy too.
17:51
I think the lights are listening to us.
17:53
Well, the the lights kind of always listen to you buddy, if
17:56
you think about it, No, but. These lights are are very much
17:59
listening to us. OK, so one of my dad's favorite
18:02
things is that he would just talk about quantum and the
18:04
people about tea. These lights are listening guys.
18:08
Oh my God they are. That would be so helpful on.
18:17
Nothing is happening. The lamps, the lanterns continue
18:20
to glow gently. OK, well, these aren't lamps
18:23
that listen to me in a way that I'm familiar with, OK?
18:28
I no, I think he's saying, like my dad was always saying, like
18:30
we're all wavelengths of light and like in quantum, we're all
18:34
just, we're all just buzzing. Oh my gosh, this might be like
18:38
what my shaman was telling me about on my last ayahuasca trip.
18:42
Yeah, I am 17. Do that math.
18:47
Endangerment child endangerment. Well your dad does go on what, 8
18:51
trips within like a month as you described?
18:53
Yeah, exactly. He's got a lot.
18:55
Okay, I'm supervised. Yeah.
18:57
And like we really do like resonate with the things around
19:01
us. So what if we like did some
19:04
breath work and maybe the lights would change?
19:07
Like, what if we got like really calm or like we got like really
19:11
excited about something and like see what happens?
19:20
OK, so you'd like to use Mongolian throat singing to do
19:23
what goody. I would I'd I'd like to enhance
19:28
this experience with the lights. OK, Connect.
19:31
What are you attempting to do here with your singing?
19:34
Establish a sense of calm. He's moving my bowels.
19:36
I'll tell. You that I want.
19:40
I want to think about how Monty's speech about different
19:45
sense made us feel calm. OK, you have Mongolian throat
19:49
singing three. I would like to see a check of
19:53
10. That's a 14.
19:57
Nice. OK, I'm Zen as fuck right now.
20:01
That's crazy. It's just like my shaman, OK?
20:04
I think you successfully do make everyone feel very Zen, very
20:08
calm, and the lanterns feel calm too.
20:11
Can I read between the lines in this moment to withhold using
20:16
that as help? Can I try to get like if there's
20:19
a specific like we we've heard that the path is bad.
20:22
He's specifically wondering how they become scary.
20:24
So I mean, what's what's the deal?
20:26
They're they're not that scary. Like how do they become scary?
20:29
OK, let's see it. You have read between the lines
20:32
three. I would like to see a 10.
20:35
All right, then I'm gonna roll for between the lines, see if I
20:37
can figure out what's what's what's so scary about these
20:39
things? Pick my favorites.
20:43
That's a 6A4 and A1. Which brings me to an 11.
20:47
OK, so feeling this sense of peace and calm from Goodies
20:52
Mongolian throat singing, you're remembering that the last time
20:55
you just felt calm was when Monty was telling you the story
20:58
about the laundry scents. And when that was happening, the
21:01
forest and the lanterns also got calm.
21:03
So what was happening right before Monty was telling you
21:06
about the DRY? Cleaning.
21:09
The lanter fell, and we were afraid.
21:12
Why so when they got all fucked when we didn't respect it?
21:16
I mean, when, when the, when the light got all screwed up, when
21:19
we were afraid, I maybe the lanterns, maybe the lanterns
21:23
were afraid too and they were just showing it in a, in a, in a
21:26
big scary way. I told you they're listening to
21:30
us. Why are you singing?
21:32
Back I'm trying. I OK tell me what they're
21:35
saying. OK, well this would make sense
21:38
because we did hear the one camp counselor talking about how they
21:42
were ready and like how it's a. Judd, the groundskeeper, said.
21:46
I believe that the lanterns have been acting up this year.
21:50
Gotcha. So they're acting up then we
21:52
heard, you know, different from those different campers that
21:55
like their, their older siblings had a really awful time and like
21:58
the other ones had a really good time.
22:00
I wonder if that's just because, you know, you're like supposed
22:04
to be at camp second chance, you know, 'cause you're like a bad
22:07
kid or whatever. Like the lanterns are like
22:10
pissed at you. But like if you're like us, like
22:12
where it makes no sense to like why we would be here because
22:15
we're so good. I'm.
22:16
Supposed to be here. OK, well, I'm.
22:18
I'm. Here, this doesn't make sense to
22:22
me. So I feel like the lanterns will
22:25
be like nice if we're nice. And so maybe just we'll keep
22:28
walking and. Joey stops at this point, having
22:31
maybe. We'll just keep walking, Joey
22:34
stops at. This.
22:36
Point that's class noticeably paused.
22:38
He his his eyes went straight down.
22:40
I imagine Monty just kept talking as like he just pauses
22:43
and takes a while before you guys notice that he's just like,
22:46
I think he's progressing to Casino night, having talked
22:50
about why he deserves to be here and he's like muttering to
22:54
himself. It's a lot of money from a lot
22:56
of little old ladies that would just want to play bridge for
23:00
money. Oh my gosh, Joey Blackjack and
23:04
let it go. Literally.
23:05
My family has built a empire on stealing money from people.
23:09
Like it's not that big of a deal.
23:10
Yeah, my dad just does it so personally.
23:12
And he was like, yeah, Joey, if you want to join me on jobs,
23:15
I'll pick you up in town and you just got to do 1 big one for me.
23:17
You got the one it doesn't. Matter how you get the money, it
23:20
matters what you do with the money, right?
23:22
Like you can wash it just fine. Joey, are you feeling sad?
23:26
Well, the The thing is, there's something I never told anyone.
23:30
And The thing is that, so I double crossed my dad and then
23:35
he triple crossed me. I didn't want to do the job, but
23:38
I did the job because it was just enough to pay for the
23:42
rehab. And I and I when I took him,
23:44
when I took him there, I gave him the money.
23:46
I said, I trust you, dad. I hope you walk through that
23:48
door. Mistake.
23:50
Lightning claps through the sky. Oh, oh, no, Joey.
23:55
Happy thoughts. Happy thoughts, OK.
23:57
There we go. Yeah, Into your nose, out
24:00
through your mouth. Too much bowel movement.
24:02
Too much bowel movement. You hear laughter.
24:05
Around the next bend. Oh, OK, well.
24:08
Yeah, OK, Follow the laughter. Away from the bowel movements.
24:12
Yeah, I think if we stay calm and we do, you know, keep
24:16
walking, everything will be fine and we'll find the, like, shack
24:19
or whatever we're sleeping being in tonight that I'm really not
24:21
looking forward to. Let's get this over with.
24:23
Boy, what are a few ways you try to overcome the overwhelm and
24:27
follow directions on your maps, navigate along the crowded path
24:30
and make it to your site safely. Monty pulled out a flashlight
24:35
and is like trying to read the map but like is spinning it
24:38
constantly. Like she is not outdoorsy.
24:41
She's like oh, we just need to get to this place.
24:43
The bugs are coming out. This is Oh my God, oh they itch.
24:46
Oh my gosh, can someone read this map for me?
24:49
The lanterns glow really brightly again and you continue
24:51
to experience sort of like, just take.
24:54
Off this kind of This all looks like a puzzle to me.
24:56
I bet you and I can't actually quite really read it in the
24:59
dark. We'll have to stop by one of the
25:00
lanterns, and I think I hand the map over to Goody.
25:03
OK, so where do we go? I think.
25:05
This way I'm gonna run up the trees, and I'm gonna try to leap
25:09
from branch to branch while we're on the rest of the way.
25:12
Oh my God, OK, sweet. You want to use toe grip.
25:14
For that, yeah. And I want to have fun doing
25:16
this because it seems like it's the best way to do this and I
25:18
won't be scared. Y'all been?
25:19
Scared you have toe grip 3. I'm going to look for a 12. 12.
25:25
OK. You're able to, between your
25:27
really long shoelace and your toe grip skills and your ability
25:32
to run, you can sort of take a Peter Pan approach to getting
25:36
through the forest and the tangled brush.
25:39
Maybe you are able to move up ahead and like tell your friends
25:43
how to get through some of the obstacles.
25:45
I think that's a great way of navigating.
25:47
I lean into Monty and I say, you know what?
25:49
I said the thing that that there's life on other planets
25:53
and that he could maybe be one of that life on other plants.
25:56
He looked at me like I was crazy and he just did that.
26:00
I'm considering changing my opinion on that.
26:02
Hey guys, I can see the campsite.
26:04
You just need to leap from that tree to that tree to that stump.
26:06
Make sure you don't hit that Bramble and when you get over
26:08
the brook that isn't there, you're good.
26:12
OK. Is there any way to get there
26:13
from the ground? Nope.
26:16
OK, I can't. Well, I guess I am swole.
26:19
OK, Monty is going to try to like follow the directions, roll
26:24
for swole, OK? Did you guys do CrossFit as
26:26
toddlers or what? Monty has.
26:29
Straight out the womb. Monty has swole too.
26:31
I thought it was Pilates swole too.
26:33
I'm looking for a six. I'm also not looking at for like
26:36
branches in the air. Imagine like, you know, the all
26:38
those fallen logs and things that like, yeah, yeah.
26:41
Just like a very dense forest, like full, of course there's
26:44
there's one very long fallen log that you like run up and then
26:48
there's like another big hollow one that you run through.
26:51
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. It totally is.
26:53
Plotty's Monty wouldn't do CrossFit because she doesn't
26:55
want to get bulky. She.
26:57
Doesn't want to be like Tuba. She doesn't.
26:58
Want to like the boys, man, I'm rolling too.
27:04
What's the check? The check is a six.
27:06
Yep. You can never scare me away,
27:08
Monty. I got a six.
27:11
Well done. OK Joey, watch this.
27:13
Momma tells us like trapeze through.
27:16
The trees. So dainty somehow.
27:19
You feel like loop a shoelace and just swing the whole thing
27:21
her. Curls are just like voluptuous
27:23
slow MO like glittering in the moonlight.
27:27
We'll. Need a moment?
27:28
Beller goes. Goody goes just Goody says.
27:32
Wow, she does this like perfect, like final leap that just like
27:36
twirls her through the air and she lands just like perfectly
27:42
Toss toss continues walking right like it's hard.
27:46
You're you're. Amazing.
27:47
Amazing. It's Pilates for you.
27:49
Pilates. What kind of magic is that?
27:52
You know you find your own magic at Pilates.
27:55
OK, Tarzan and Jane, you fucking, you don't need to.
27:58
You quit your shit up there. I'm coming.
27:59
I'm coming. I got this.
28:00
I got this all. Right, Joey, what are you doing?
28:02
What are you using? First of all, I need to clarify
28:04
that Joey said that because he just felt that Goody and Monty
28:07
were having a moment and despite his earlier words of giving
28:10
Goody the go ahead, I'm going for it.
28:13
He's like, why can't can't make it easy for him?
28:14
I mean, he does Tarzan and Jane in it up there.
28:18
Monty is notably keeping her elbows so close to her sides.
28:24
I think I I haven't done no applicable.
28:27
I. What would you say?
28:29
Could I do this with this with do anything I?
28:31
Don't flamethrower demolition, bro.
28:33
You get demolitions. I also could see some razzle
28:36
dazzle pyrotechnic. Oh.
28:39
Grand finale. Could you like blow up a log
28:42
that just throw? Could I?
28:43
Could I explode myself up into the treetops?
28:48
No, you'll get injured and there's no, no, none of you
28:51
packed first aid, I don't think. No.
28:53
Well, you have. A shoelace.
28:54
Here's the thing you need. Here's the thing my dad told me,
28:57
and this is a true story. My dad once told me a story
29:00
about how him and his brother went to the forest, put a bunch
29:05
of gunpowder inside of a toilet and that toilet flew 30 feet up
29:10
into the air. And if I can't fly 30 feet up in
29:12
the air with just a little bit of gunpowder, I I packed a lot.
29:15
So you don't think I can firework myself up into the
29:17
trees? Was your dad and his brother
29:20
sitting on the toilet? Did the toilet survive well?
29:23
They were watching from 300 feet out.
29:25
Right, so why do you think that your body will survive if you
29:28
are the toilet St. Magic.
29:31
Blow up a tree? Just fall.
29:33
Goodies like. I'd kick my shoes back off, blow
29:38
up the tree to fall over all this shit.
29:42
OK, see can I do that? Yeah.
29:45
Really. I feel like the lanterns shirt
29:46
to be so mad. Oh, the Lanterns might be pretty
29:49
mad about that. OK.
29:52
That's like confirming that we need to be at this stupid camp.
29:55
I'm also realizing that that shirt was a don't do it.
29:59
Oh yeah. You you leave between the lines.
30:04
I would like. You could do anything.
30:08
I'd like to con the forest. OK.
30:10
How are you going to do that? Lantern Dark.
30:14
Lantern Bright. Won't you be under my control
30:19
tonight? I I control you Lanterns.
30:22
I control you all. I'm a magic wizard, and I know
30:25
that you're magic. And I will say the magic words
30:28
that control you. Are you ready?
30:30
Goody leans over to Monty. Monty, he's lost his mind.
30:34
I'm saying the words. I'm saying the words now.
30:36
See if it works. Sesame seed.
30:42
And you thought this would get you through the brambles?
30:43
How? Magic.
30:47
Open sesame got you. I made him laugh, I made the
30:51
forest laugh. And I would like it to let me
30:53
through and recognize me as as its master.
30:55
Are you laughing? Yeah, it's a funny joke.
30:57
As you laugh, Thunder cracks again in the sky.
31:01
OK, there's like meteor showers that are like yellow and gold
31:04
and the ground sort of like rumbles.
31:06
Not that funny, huh? Monty screams.
31:08
What emotions do you you want from?
31:12
US. Thank you.
31:16
So given that I'm trying to con the forest, can I roll for this?
31:19
Just imagining you just walking straight through everything with
31:23
your arms out, just thinking you're casting magic.
31:25
You don't have magic. No, but your forest is magic.
31:29
I can tell I'm to deal with some funky shit.
31:31
I'm not trying to be the magic. I'm trying to the forest be the
31:34
forest is the magic. I'm just asking it.
31:37
I'm going to let. You roll for Khan to walk around
31:39
the obstacle you can take take the long route is your version
31:44
of Khan. Let's see it.
31:47
At the seven. You walk around around the.
31:52
Obstacle. And you successfully meet up
31:56
with Monty and Goody. So you you press on, you
32:00
navigate the path's obstacles, and you experience the
32:02
strangeness with every step. Finally, you arrive at a
32:06
clearing at the end of the path and are greeted by a stretch of
32:09
grass with a fire pit and chairs on one side, and a cooler full
32:13
of sandwiches and Gatorade on the other.
32:16
This. I'm avoiding eye contact with
32:18
Monty. This is your home sweet home for
32:21
the night and it's time to set up camp and settle in.
32:25
We have to. Set it up.
32:26
What do each of your ideas of helping look like as you get
32:29
your site set up, and how did the three of you want to spend
32:32
this unsupervised night under the stars?
32:35
Monty is just walking around and just like her arms are crossed
32:39
like right in front of her, not touching anything and just like
32:41
walking up to the walks over to the tent, walks right into the
32:46
woods. That's all she's doing.
32:49
She's just. Joey's just falling behind her,
32:52
like picking up sticks and twigs and just like, like, honestly
32:55
doing the good thing of like clearing A campsite right before
32:57
you get there. But it's all reactionary.
32:59
Like in the dish. She's displeased.
33:02
How can I make her happy? Up.
33:03
Pick up the stick. Pick up this rock.
33:04
Throw it into the woods. Goody is going to climb some
33:07
trees and bring the shoelace and make one of those spider web
33:11
canopy baskets with a bunch of rope that we can lay on above
33:15
our tents. Oh nice.
33:17
Yeah, I'm going to spend a long time doing it.
33:20
OK. OK, good.
33:22
Sure he's not a spider from another planet?
33:24
You know, I think that theory is really starting to make a lot of
33:27
sense. Yeah, you hear me?
33:28
Like sniff, but it sounds like. So is there only one tent?
33:34
Yeah, just one tent. One tent for the three of you.
33:37
Just one, just one tent, OK. And and what was there for food?
33:41
Sandwiches and Gatorade in a cooler.
33:43
No peanut butter. Don't eat but they put like
33:45
drugs or something. Did you guys see the sky change?
33:47
I would die for some drugs right now.
33:50
Are you kidding me? Well, you beat the peanut
33:52
butter. It's probably got LSD in it.
33:54
You don't eat the peanut butter, you'll die.
33:56
Have you bumped all of your cocaine?
33:57
Have. You bumped all of your cocaine?
34:01
No, of course. Had I sold it to the other
34:02
campers? I'm a businesswoman.
34:05
That's that. You know, child endangerment,
34:08
child endangerment, child endangerment.
34:11
Okay, it's ready. The bounces up and down on the
34:13
show. I think it will hold all three
34:14
of us. Okay, that surprisingly sounds
34:18
way more fun than a tent. Yeah, I would totally go up to,
34:21
I think I could do with maybe a little bit of a night above all
34:25
of this craziness. Would we be like, would that
34:27
feel a little bit more separated from?
34:29
I think I, I think Joey's feeling claustrophobic with all
34:31
of the changing color, the different like atmosphere that
34:34
just suddenly there's Thunder, suddenly there's river and he
34:37
just wants predictability. Or yeah, so from a layout
34:40
perspective, this clearing where your campsite is at the end of
34:44
the Lantern path, so the lanterns sort of stop being hung
34:48
in the trees and you've probably got 30 or 40 feet until you get
34:51
to your campsite. So now wherever Goody has set up
34:54
this sort of hammock up above you're, you're removed from the
34:57
focus of the path. You've got some breathing room,
35:00
both in the tent and in this fun hammock.
35:04
Looking back on the path, does it look weird at all?
35:07
No, looks like a Lantern path. Looks like a path with lanterns.
35:11
OK well I'm honestly feeling pretty spooked so I would.
35:14
I feel like getting off the ground is like a really good
35:16
idea right now. Like, what if there's like,
35:17
bears or something in Iowa? Yeah.
35:20
And I think there's a way that we could probably put the tent
35:22
up there if I, if my, if my brain can put this together,
35:25
right. I mean, at least let's just grab
35:27
all the stuff out of it, put it on the bedding, and then let's
35:29
put like a tarp above us. One second, I think I got this.
35:32
I would like to use demolitions to figure out how to get the
35:37
tent up there. But what I'm doing is
35:39
essentially anti demolitions. I'm looking for structural
35:42
points rather than structural like integral points that sure
35:46
could collapse. I want to make.
35:48
I want to strengthen them to make this realistic.
35:50
I just want to identify 4 points within goodies webbing as like
35:55
strong anchor points enough that you could foreseeably use
35:58
tethers to give a tent some shape.
36:01
Sure. OK.
36:01
So you're going to use demolitions too?
36:03
Yes, I'd like to see a six or higher.
36:06
OK. That's a four.
36:09
And you use an Exp. No.
36:12
Dang it. You do have your lunch from this
36:15
the from before the talent show. I don't know what that might
36:17
have given you I. Just got I just have a reroll 1
36:20
roll. I could do I could do for that.
36:22
You know what? Does it mean Joey throws up his
36:24
lunch? Oh my God.
36:26
No, no, we don't have another EpiPen.
36:28
I can't come back up. Keep that shit down.
36:31
I think I can, yeah. I think I can feel.
36:33
What do you call it? I think I can feel the
36:35
anaphylaxis. Joey, I didn't know you could
36:37
throat sing. That's just I'm trying to
36:40
breathe. Oh.
36:41
My God, so successful just mean I don't.
36:43
I don't die here. All right?
36:45
I have a three so far. That's a four on the die, so
36:49
that's a 7 total. OK so you're successful.
36:52
I think what will what it will require for you to pull this off
36:56
is everyone's help including anti camping Monty's.
36:59
You're going to need 6 hands to get this tent and your sleeping
37:03
bags and everything tied up the way that you want to.
37:06
Hey Monty, you ever heard about 3 card Monty?
37:10
Well, it takes 3 cards to tango, and if you want me to tell you
37:14
about it, which it was probably named after you because it's the
37:16
most famous trick that a magician can ever do.
37:19
I like that say more. But and he goes on to tell I
37:23
don't know enough about 3 card Monte, but I know that it it
37:26
holds like a special place in like both conning also
37:29
magicians, also St. men like it's this weird cross section of
37:32
appreciation of where it all started.
37:34
And he actually gives you like a really cool history and rundown
37:37
like between every and other sentences.
37:40
And my my dad tells me that like, and my dad would be like
37:43
and you know, but it's AI think a heartwarming story that he's
37:46
heard so many times that he's able to tell it without a, you
37:48
know, without a thought. I think because you're just,
37:51
like, totally inflating Monty's ego.
37:54
She's listening to you. And like, I imagine, like,
37:56
Joey's like, starts handing, like, sleeping bags like while
37:59
he's talking. And I'm just like, oh, yeah, uh
38:01
huh. Yeah, there's.
38:01
The one thing that yeah, someone did it in front of the Queen and
38:05
the queen. Was queen Exactly.
38:06
Oh my God I literally feel like royalty.
38:09
You just see you in frame, then goodies toes coming down and
38:12
grabbing the stuff in the midway and then handing them off to
38:15
Joey. Oh my.
38:17
God, three card Monte, for anyone that doesn't know, is
38:19
just the classic St. Con where you yeah, so three
38:23
card Monte is when you you got 3 cards on the on the table.
38:26
And the The thing is that the game's always rigged.
38:28
It's it's rigged. Yeah, 'cause the the deal is
38:31
always using sleight of hand to to steal the queen out before
38:34
that you can pick it. So that's the that's the thing.
38:36
You're the queen and nobody will ever get you because I'll always
38:41
be the one pulling you out. Thanks, Joey.
38:43
So whatever trouble we get into tonight, we can handle it.
38:46
Ain't that right, Goody? I mean, I still don't understand
38:49
how the game works, but it's a cool name.
38:51
Yeah, yeah, it's good. Yeah, it's a game.
38:53
Definitely not a way to steal money from it.
38:55
Isn't passerby and many. Tourists, do you want to play
38:58
the game later? I have a lot of money in my
39:00
pocket. I would love to.
39:02
Cool $20. Find the Queen.
39:08
Points at Monty. OK, gives the $20 back.
39:12
That's the first time anyone's. Ever beat me?
39:14
I like this game. That was cute, but.
39:16
Yeah, I continue to explain this classic trick as we continue to
39:19
set up this game. Cool.
39:21
I would say you guys are successful in sort of setting up
39:23
your fun crash pad for the night.
39:25
It probably isn't what counselors had in mind, but I
39:28
think you've had as much fun with it as you can.
39:31
The stress of the forest has been alleviated.
39:33
You've created what feels like a peaceful, comfortable, or as
39:36
comfortable as possible little bubble, little safe haven above
39:39
the ground, and you guys sort of hunker in for the night.
39:43
So what What do you guys discuss?
39:45
Do you use this time to chat through anything?
39:48
If you guys don't mind, could I like sleep in the middle?
39:52
I just, I've never, literally never slept outside before.
39:56
And I get to sleep inside. I get to sleep up here.
39:59
We thought this was for you. Yeah.
40:01
You thought you made this for me.
40:04
I was going to sleep in the dirt.
40:05
I was going to sleep up in a branch.
40:07
You know, at the start of this whole thing I would have let
40:11
you, but now I'm afraid outside so I need both of you to sleep
40:15
next to me so I am not afraid and outside.
40:19
I'll take first watch. I I pull Goody aside and I say
40:23
she's asking us to bump elbows and I've never done a I've never
40:26
done a devil's threesome. I'm.
40:28
Wearing long sleeves. You can't bump elbows and long
40:31
sleeves. We keep our long sleeves on this
40:34
one. Pull your sleeves down, please.
40:37
Okay, we're using protection, so I guess that makes it kind of
40:39
okay before the eyes of God, so. Loophole.
40:42
I mean, can we bump knees to elbows or elbows to never mind?
40:46
Never mind just. Like turn around I.
40:52
Imagine like. You 2 are the most awkward of
40:54
energy like like avoiding eye contact immediately spinning
40:57
away. Imagine you should like we're
40:59
just like sardines, like all just like laying next to each
41:02
other. And maybe there's like a noise
41:04
in the woods or something, like a squirrel or something and like
41:08
grabs both of your arms and it just like holds.
41:11
I can't breathe. The webbing kind of like shifts
41:14
a little bit so that we both roll into and we're just like
41:17
even more sardined and sandwich like in that in the yeah, the
41:20
Taco of the hammock. I didn't bring my weighted
41:23
blanket to camp and this is kind of nice.
41:26
Yeah, well, my mom says I'm fat, so that was nice to hear
41:30
something positive about my weight.
41:32
Joey, do you still have that bomb in your pocket?
41:35
Oh, I should. Yeah, I should put that.
41:37
I'll put that with the with the draw with the.
41:38
So it is a bomb. OK, good to know.
41:40
Good to know. No, I'd much rather it be a
41:42
bomb. Well, well, I mean, we'll be
41:47
friends after this, Monty, if you're OK with my people who
41:49
aren't normally OK with the bombs.
41:51
You know, I have a lot of friends from a lot of places in
41:56
the world, and you're the most intriguing.
42:00
You guys are here. I'm.
42:04
Just sitting like this because I'm like holding your elbow.
42:06
You got Maya across the table, so she said it.
42:10
I'm. Afraid I'm so skilled.
42:14
And I, I, I think Joey just kisses a picture of his mother.
42:18
Good night. As you eventually drift off to
42:22
dreamland, you can't help but wonder if the lanterns were
42:26
trying to tell you something. Are they tired?
42:29
Are they asking for help? After a fitful night of rest,
42:33
you wake to a purple pre dawn sky and a warm summer breeze
42:38
through your tent. You know you're due back at camp
42:41
for breakfast and judging by the rising sun, it's probably time
42:44
to get moving. Plus you're pretty sure you
42:46
smell bacon coming from the direction of camp as you pack up
42:51
your things and step back onto the Lantern path where the
42:53
lanterns are no longer lit but billow in the breeze on either
42:56
side of you. Tell me what you're thinking.
42:59
What are your priorities for today?
43:01
Monty desperately wants a shower, like a bath, but that's
43:06
not going to happen. So a shower.
43:08
I'm surprised that they take us away from camp and then cook
43:11
delicious smelling bacon. That seems rude.
43:14
Especially after they like burnt the snacks and stuff when that
43:17
when that one person and the other person like went off and
43:20
bumped elbows. Exactly.
43:22
Right. Honestly, the food here is just
43:25
sad. Sad.
43:27
And the fact that they're now making bacon, I think, I don't
43:31
know, maybe it's a good sign. I mean, I'm hungry too, but the
43:34
sky last night? And yeah, I don't know if I'm
43:37
actually ready to go back through all that, like
43:39
especially if the counsellor left the behind that like.
43:42
I. Already got things to say to
43:44
Brock and if I know that he's behind screwing with me with
43:48
some bland tents like. You think Brock, Mr. Brock, is
43:54
behind this? He's got like, what, a brain
43:56
cell? And I don't think he could make
43:57
like a meteor shower. That's that's that's fair.
44:01
I hadn't thought about that. Didn't your mom talk to you?
44:03
Yeah, Well, that I thought that might have been me daydreaming
44:07
about Lottie. But sorry, that was I said that.
44:09
Weird. Well, because she looks like
44:12
your mom, right? They wouldn't Daydream.
44:14
Right, so you're daydreaming about your mom, which has also
44:17
made me a little weird. Yeah, once you said it.
44:20
You're just thinking about your mom.
44:22
I'm pretty sure it says ma. You're right, Ma.
44:26
Sorry, I'm still learning the dialect of eastern Iowa.
44:31
No, don't, Don't worry, I appreciate it.
44:32
It's a very specific dialect. Yeah, that's that's your
44:36
dialect, Joey. Well, OK, so I don't think it's
44:43
Brock. I respect that you think it's
44:44
Brock, but I did overhear Judd the janitor talking about like
44:48
setting up the lanterns. Like maybe he has something to
44:50
do with it. Let me just try something and
44:53
I'm going to take my shoes off slowly and look at this guy I.
44:56
Also do want to clarify that I think he's a groundskeeper
44:59
rather than. I don't.
45:02
Understand that it's the same thing.
45:04
Yeah, he like cleans up the like space around, you know, she's
45:08
like just gestures there's. A mop in a bucket somewhere.
45:11
Yeah, like he's the hell. Yeah, we also gonna mop the
45:14
grass. Waves hand gestures to
45:16
everything wildly. He.
45:17
Just like cleans. I don't know.
45:22
Can I can I roll running without shoes?
45:25
But I'm going to sit still and take my shoes off.
45:27
OK, what's your goal here? I I want to know if there's a
45:30
connection between my my shoes and the behaviors that I have as
45:34
Batty. OK this would freak me the fuck
45:36
out to see you take your shoes off and not move.
45:39
I like I just slowly take the shoes off.
45:42
I think like Monty like flinches and like looks at Joey like.
45:45
What's he doing? You you're going to use running
45:47
with no shoes to OK, I'm going to look for a six.
45:52
It's a six and A2 for an 8. In the light of the morning, you
45:57
see that the lanterns aren't lit anymore, so very quickly I think
46:02
you realize that this is just not the time to be testing your
46:05
hypothesis, unfortunately. I think I miss.
46:10
I put my shoes back on and I say to Joey really sternly, like he
46:13
knows what I'm talking about. I think I miss my window.
46:16
Oh sure, sure buddy. I hey, I pull you aside
46:20
completely misinterpreted interpreting this as you
46:23
essentially saying that you need to be Batty to be with Monty.
46:29
Like thinking that goody isn't enough and I just go off on a
46:31
speech. Hey buddy, you're you.
46:33
Goody is good enough. I.
46:35
Batty, nice of you to say. Batty can do some crazy shit.
46:38
Oh yeah, yeah, I can. But Batty Batty might not be the
46:43
best for but might not be the best match for Monty, am I
46:45
right? Or Monty, Monty, take your heels
46:48
off. Maybe that'll work.
46:51
OK, I have to anyways like to climb out of this thing so she
46:55
like takes her. Louboutins off, Goody looks
46:58
around, hopefully around the sky.
47:00
Nothing. Nah, you missed your window too.
47:01
I don't. Think it's foot stuff related
47:03
goody. Oh I've missed my window before,
47:05
it's fine, I can take my meds they'll just keep me up like 5
47:08
hours longer. I thought that was going to be a
47:10
sneaking out joke. No.
47:12
I missed my window before I accidentally climbed into my
47:15
parents. It was.
47:16
Really a close call, Monty climbed.
47:18
I'm out a window. You're right, you're right.
47:21
Child endangerment. My mom says an extra glass of
47:24
wine is the same as a mist pill so it's fine.
47:27
Yeah, yeah, your mom is so right.
47:29
Patrice tells me that too. Wow.
47:31
And. Good for heart health, she says.
47:33
Yeah. A glass a day keeps the doctor
47:36
away. She says 6 but sure, whatever
47:39
the. A glass to 6.
47:41
A day keeps the. Doctor And you know, I'll
47:43
consider that. I'll let Patrice know.
47:44
I think she should drink. More yeah, I think it's AI.
47:46
Think it's a woman thing? I think we all have really good
47:49
role models. I think it's so too.
47:51
I'm going to have 6 glasses of wine later.
47:55
My dad is going to be so excited about this lawsuit.
47:58
Anyway, so besides the child, the children endangering
48:01
themselves, it's agreed, right? We go back, we eat Brock's ass,
48:06
and we figure out what the why he's screwing with the lanterns.
48:09
He must be the reason why they're not working right?
48:11
We have to go back. You're right.
48:13
You know what? We have to make a stand, OK?
48:15
We have to go back and be like what?
48:18
What do you want? You know, Like what?
48:20
That's what I'm saying. We survived.
48:22
You wanted to like what? Why are we here?
48:24
Because. That's that's the thing I I I
48:26
get that we 3 have formed such a bond and as to be magically
48:31
impervious to the anti magic devilry that's going.
48:35
On yes. Same more yes, but The thing is
48:39
there's a lot of kids back there back at camp that I don't think
48:43
that the path tonight, we're sorry, we're going to be walking
48:46
the path at some point with the rest of the kids, right, because
48:50
we're just the first to take the path.
48:51
We're not the only to. Yeah, you'll definitely learn
48:52
more about this at breakfast. OK, well.
48:55
You know that you were the first ones of the summer to walk the.
48:58
Path cool. I think Joey's just thinking
48:59
about that and it is very curious to learn more.
49:01
But because I think he just trails off at that.
49:03
It's just like, Can you imagine if other people are taking the
49:06
path and we're magically impervious because of our
49:09
friendship? I think Joey lost his mind
49:11
officially. Did you see the fucking multi
49:14
colored lightning or not kid I? Saw some things but my mother
49:18
didn't talk to me. I mean, you heard her too.
49:22
Oh yeah, your mom talked to me. We need to warn them.
49:27
We need to let them know that they need to stay calm.
49:30
They need to do breathing exercises.
49:31
They need to take a little doobie hit.
49:33
They need to do something to remain calm and not let you know
49:37
like the camp win you. Know my mom's not normally like
49:41
this. Right.
49:42
And like, she couldn't even find the camp if she tried because
49:46
like, I'm pretty sure they blindfolded us at one point when
49:48
they drove us in here. I don't think that was legal,
49:50
but. No, again, child endangerment.
49:54
So I say we go back. Steal all the bacon.
49:57
Steal all the bacon. We tell Brock that we're not
50:00
afraid of him and his stupid paper over 10 years old
50:04
lanterns. We can also let them know that
50:07
they need to like, replace some of these because it's kind of a
50:09
fire hazard if you ask me, child in danger.
50:13
It's ridiculous. But we do need to let the other
50:14
campers know that it's like, literally not that scary.
50:17
Exactly right. Especially if they just like
50:19
make a spider web made of shoelace and then carry their
50:21
tent up onto set shoelace with all their belongings and then
50:24
just sleep. There could we like leave this
50:26
here? This would be like such a good
50:29
like selling point for this campsite.
50:31
I'll go put it back up and use my toes this time just to go a
50:37
little faster. Oh.
50:38
My God. I guess breakfast isn't going to
50:40
make itself or eat itself so we should probably get go back
50:44
along this path and I think the land is out.
50:45
OK, I'm done. OK, perfect.
50:48
I can't wait to have my half piece of bacon that I'm allotted
50:51
every year. OK.
50:54
OK, off you guys go on the trail.
50:56
You arrive back at camp, straight to breakfast.
50:59
Your noses didn't betray you. You arrived to the cafeteria to
51:03
see that the breakfast menu does in fact feature bacon overcooked
51:07
and French toast undercooked. I assume you sit together for
51:12
this meal. Mm, hmm.
51:14
Yeah, we have to stay strong. We have to present as like a
51:17
really solid unit. So campers crowd around you
51:20
almost immediately to ask you about your night.
51:22
Were the lanterns scary or like totally awesome?
51:25
Did you stay up all night long? Did you in fact come back as a
51:28
straight edge and ditch your trouble making ways?
51:30
What do you guys tell campers as they pepper you with questions
51:33
about your night? Well, here The thing is, I've
51:36
always been a straight edge. Friends, let me let me let me
51:39
tell you about the the fact that I'm the most honest man that
51:41
you'll ever meet, and my favorite game is 3 card Monte.
51:45
Here's $20 here. Watch guys.
51:47
Watch and we we play out three card Monte, you know, and I
51:52
don't do the sleight of hand trick and you get you I give you
51:55
another $20 and I'm just like look how easy the game is.
51:58
So $40.00. So I learned on the path that as
52:02
long as you're honest, things will work out for you, just like
52:04
my friend goody here. Anyone want to play?
52:07
This game was named after me, by the way, just if you're.
52:11
Wondering, I think. I think I'd take a subsection of
52:13
kids and start playing along with them.
52:15
And I mean about the path, it was just some weird stuff
52:19
happened, but I don't feel any different.
52:22
No, yeah, Speaking of honesty, like, where was the honesty like
52:25
before all this? Monty stands up on the breakfast
52:28
table. Gather round everybody, gather
52:31
round. I'm going to shed some truth on
52:34
y'all. Brock interrupts you and jumps
52:36
up on his own table once again to share some morning
52:40
announcements. Oh, Monty.
52:42
Polls. PAC goes to the house.
52:43
As soon as it's on the table, PAC goes to the house.
52:45
Sorry friend. Monty just like harrumps, but
52:51
like doesn't get off the table, but just like stands, their arms
52:54
crossed, hip Chuck to one side. Oh my God, what a brat.
52:57
I love it. Carry on, say what you're going
53:00
to say, Brock says. Sub campers, despite your
53:05
attempts to humiliate me yesterday, I'm using it as a
53:08
teaching moment to show you that your troublemaking tendencies
53:11
bounce right off me. In fact, I doubled down.
53:16
He does the most cringe worthy like bodybuilder flex of all
53:19
time to show off his calf tattoo of Lottie's face and then he
53:22
switches position so you can see his other calf which now oozes
53:26
and features an inflamed block letter spelling of Lottie's
53:29
name. I I told you in the 1st place
53:33
that that did not honor Lottie's good name and even better face
53:39
Monty. Tell him or I'm going to kill
53:40
him. While they're talking, I'm going
53:42
to tie Brock's shoelaces together.
53:44
I love that. Did you do it yourself?
53:47
Did you ask one of the campers to do it?
53:49
Like look. I may not be rich in money, this
53:53
camp pays like shit, but I am rich in love.
53:58
Anyway, today's itinerary looks like a full day by the lake
54:01
where we can keep an eye on you till tonight's ceremonial
54:04
Lantern Path Luau on the beach. At the end of the luau, you'll
54:09
all get your chance to finally experience the magic of the path
54:13
for the very first time. And then he nods toward your
54:16
table where you guys are, and he addresses you when he says
54:19
except for you guys. How was it?
54:21
You know what, forget I asked. You wouldn't want to spoil this
54:23
epic experience for your fellow campers, would you?
54:26
Yes. Brock yammers on.
54:28
But your ears perk up as all three of you hear and see Lottie
54:32
open a side door and slink into the cafeteria, late and sporting
54:37
a hoodie despite the sweltering summer heat and a muggy
54:41
cafeteria. But Brock continues to yap about
54:44
the schedule. You understand that today is for
54:46
soaking up the sunshine and enjoying what sounds like a true
54:49
summer camp experience before tonight's Lantern path ceremony.
54:52
Once you've been dismissed, you stop by your cabin to collect
54:55
your beach bags and shower off the night's grime.
54:58
I'm sure Monty is very happy. Is there any much exfoliant?
55:02
Is there anything else you guys do before setting off towards
55:05
the beach to make it there in time for attendance?
55:07
Goody doesn't shower. Monty is putting on baked tan
55:13
and actually we'll ask Joey, like Joey, can you get like the
55:15
center of my back here? Put this like little mitten on.
55:17
Try not to get it on your skin. Yeah, sure.
55:20
I can help out with whatever you're doing.
55:21
Sure. Yeah, it's just kind of like,
55:23
you know, like I'm assuming you've put lotion on your mom's
55:25
back. Oh well.
55:26
Clockwise or counterclockwise? My mom yells at me if I go
55:28
counter. Yeah, Yeah.
55:29
Clockwise is better, OK. Really.
55:31
OK, yeah, she's so right about that.
55:36
I actually always do clockwise. Whispers.
55:39
Whispers to himself. And you.
55:41
You're the love of my life. Because unlike your mother.
55:47
You know what they say. We should have stole the bacon.
55:50
There's still time. I think we should go back
55:52
because Lottie was looking SUS. Who wears A sweatshirt during
55:56
the summer? She must have been so warm.
55:58
Why did she do that? I would like to read between the
56:01
lines on what the whole Lottie and the hoodie thing was.
56:04
OK, so finish my finish the spot in my back.
56:06
Please make sure there's no blotches.
56:08
OK, well, can you just help me out?
56:09
What did you see? And as I think we do this little
56:13
lotion exercise, is she helping me with this?
56:15
Yeah. Oh yeah, you can get plus one
56:16
for help. Oh.
56:18
Yeah, it's self Tanner, Joey. That's between Oh, my hands.
56:24
So you're rolling read between the lines three.
56:27
I'm going to put the check. At 12, OK, that is just 10 total
56:33
even with help. Could I like retro roll
56:36
surveillance? Yeah, yeah.
56:37
I did kind of rush you guys through that.
56:39
I can't make heads or tails of it, but maybe if you saw
56:42
something more than I did. You're right.
56:44
Let me goody. Can you do that singing again?
56:48
Oh. Shit, A4.
56:54
Yeah, unfortunately, you're having trouble remembering, but
56:56
maybe that means you feel like you're going to have to spend
56:58
some of your time today reinvestigating what's going on
57:01
with Lottie, OK. If we got a little bit of time
57:03
before the beach. We should swing by the
57:05
cafeteria. Maybe I don't shower, maybe I
57:08
just maybe I take a bath. Maybe I take a bath in the leak
57:11
later that's. What I was thinking, why would
57:13
you shower if we're going to get in water later, right?
57:15
Yeah, Anyways, let's go. Maybe we do a little bit of
57:17
espionage. I don't, I don't peek on a lady
57:20
in the in the lavatory. So I'm not going to go look at
57:22
Lottie, if you know what I mean. So I'm definitely going to go
57:25
check out Brock and see what he's doing.
57:26
OK. Do you want me to go after
57:28
Lottie? I mean, it might, might make
57:29
sense for us to figure out as much as we can, OK.
57:32
What do I? What do I do?
57:34
Hey my friend. Hello, I just want to hear what
57:39
you. Say, yeah, what are you going to
57:41
do? My friend, I have a big puzzle
57:45
for you to work on and I pull Goody aside and I think I'm
57:49
going to fully off screen this moment and we'll figure it out
57:52
later. I think Goody, while we're
57:55
getting ready, is going to kind of be a little on edge from the
58:00
experience last night and is going to take a trick out of
58:04
Joey's book and he's going to holster a couple hair sprays and
58:09
I'm going to have a lighter in a pocket that I found under a bed
58:13
while I was knocking things around.
58:15
I have another roll of shoelace and I'm going to put it on my
58:17
back and then I'm going to put like a flashlight helmet on and
58:20
keep it on all day and I am going to go to the cafeteria and
58:24
steal all the fucking bacon. Oh.
58:26
Hell. Yeah.
58:28
You just I love how goody with like going from tree to tree
58:31
felt like obstacle course kid. And now this feels like I'm
58:34
gearing up and whatever, like I'm gearing up.
58:36
There's definitely a montage. Yeah, you got a.
58:40
Tool belt, yeah. You're flipping the cans.
58:43
You're sliding. Them in those perfect pockets.
58:45
Yeah, Belt. Cinch.
58:46
I take my shoes off and I tie the laces together and flip them
58:49
like nunchucks and I put them in my side.
58:51
OK, so it sounds we have Monty headed to the cafeteria to look
58:56
for Lottie. Yeah, 'cause that's where we saw
58:58
her last. Yeah, well, let's just see if
59:01
she's there 'cause she went in through the kitchen.
59:04
She came in like through a side door of the cafeteria.
59:06
Yeah, Joey headed to. Wherever Brock is.
59:10
OK, Probably down by the lake waiting for campers to get there
59:12
because you know that they're taking attendance in like 15
59:15
minutes. I got to go show up early to get
59:18
that fine, I guess I'll do it. We have to show them that we
59:22
aren't meant to be here, Joey. This camp is not for us.
59:25
Once more, I am very much meant to be here.
59:28
I very much deserve it. I heard a lot of innocent.
59:30
People, but there might be bears chasing you.
59:32
That's OK. And then go to you, also to the
59:35
cafeteria, but for bacon. Yeah.
59:37
And I think as Monty and I are walking, Monty's walking
59:40
regularly to the cafeteria and I'm like sneaking from tree to
59:43
tree and like, OK. Perfect.
59:46
Just up in your little like crab toes.
59:52
Disturbing. It's.
59:53
Crab walking down my toes from tree to tree.
59:56
You can see like you like walking with.
59:58
Your toes, toe to toe. Yeah, centipede style, Yeah.
1:00:10
Oh God, I I whisper at a Monty. Do you think Joey's going to
1:00:12
beat up Brock? I hope so.
1:00:14
That man could use a punch to the face.
1:00:16
I don't like either of his tattoos.
1:00:18
OK, who are we going to follow first?
1:00:20
I think maybe we stick with Goody and Monty as they head
1:00:25
back to the cafeteria. Do a quick 180.
1:00:27
Sure, looking for Lottie and lot of bacon.
1:00:34
OK, cool, Lottie and the lottery.
1:00:36
The sneaking continues as if we're getting near the cafeteria
1:00:38
to like, like, pop open the door, like sneak in, sneak in.
1:00:44
OK, OK. You guys are shy.
1:00:52
She's late as a feather, so you guys are sticking together.
1:00:55
I think I'm on the ceiling gripping with my toes by.
1:01:00
Your peak by. Tell Rob you couldn't do magic,
1:01:02
but I'll let you grip your ceiling with your toes.
1:01:05
I'm also using my hands a little.
1:01:08
He's got alien biology. Not magic.
1:01:12
Alien. Biology.
1:01:14
Bob canonically cannot be here and I'm an alien.
1:01:18
OK, Monty and Goody, you guys walk into the door of the
1:01:21
cafeteria that I think you usually would use to enter and
1:01:24
you see that the like the lights are off in the main area where
1:01:27
the tables are, but back in the kitchen and the prep area, the
1:01:30
lights are still on. You hear someone maybe doing
1:01:32
dishes, cleaning up, period. OK, Monty, I think will like
1:01:37
walk straight up to the kitchen like goody, you just like do
1:01:41
whatever you need to do or whatever.
1:01:43
Like I'll maybe distract who's ever back there.
1:01:46
Hello. Oh, excuse me.
1:01:48
Excuse me. Hello.
1:01:50
I was gonna ask you to make a distraction.
1:01:52
Perfect. Then I'm gonna try to slink in
1:01:53
whatever. Like open.
1:01:54
I'm imagining like those open. No.
1:01:57
Windowless. Yeah, exactly.
1:01:58
What you have in mind? Yeah, I try to sneak in through
1:02:01
the like ceiling part and get in there, look for the cooler.
1:02:04
Yeah, absolutely. Hello.
1:02:06
Hi, who's there? Just the way I wish people could
1:02:12
see the way you look. Maya is totally method acting
1:02:15
this whole time like the cat here on my face I pulled.
1:02:18
Off who's there examined it in front of my.
1:02:22
Face, she couldn't give a. Hell, I was brushed by she.
1:02:25
Owns this camp by now she's like the lawsuit is filed that's mine
1:02:29
it's. Literally so out of my he's my
1:02:31
property. Who's there?
1:02:34
Shouldn't I be asking you that? Who are you?
1:02:37
It's Monty Stera, the one that's like, you know, kind of bringing
1:02:40
a claim down on all your asses. I don't know anything about
1:02:43
that. Lottie comes out from like
1:02:45
around the. Cooler Lottie, is that you?
1:02:49
Yeah, What do you want? Why are you here?
1:02:50
You're supposed to be at the lake.
1:02:52
Well, I was just like, I like saw you earlier and like you
1:02:55
were wearing a sweatshirt and I was just like really wondering
1:02:58
like, are you feeling sick or something?
1:03:00
Because like, that's the only way I could think about someone
1:03:03
wearing a sweatshirt in this type of heat.
1:03:06
No, I'm not sick. It's honestly none of your
1:03:07
business. She's goes about like cleaning
1:03:10
up the kitchen. She keeps moving stuff around.
1:03:12
OK, it's like not much of A girl's girl.
1:03:14
Get it? I totally saw Brock's like new
1:03:17
tattoo. Like how do you feel about that?
1:03:19
I love it. What's not to love?
1:03:22
It's like, so flattering. Flat for him or for you for the.
1:03:29
Both of us. And if you must know, she rolls
1:03:32
up her sleeve to show you that her forearm now sports a very
1:03:37
large traditional style tattoo of a heart with a Brock banner
1:03:40
across it. Audible gas from the ceiling.
1:03:46
Sorry God, the dust in here is just disgusting.
1:03:49
So is that why you're wearing a sweatshirt to cover up your new
1:03:54
digs? Yeah, obviously.
1:03:56
And I really would appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone.
1:03:59
But I know you have some sort of influence here around camp
1:04:02
because of daddy's money or something, and I would just
1:04:05
really appreciate if you didn't tell anyone.
1:04:07
It's less about like my dad's money that creates the influence
1:04:10
and more like what I do with the money that creates the
1:04:13
influence. But you know, it's OK.
1:04:15
It's a common misunderstanding. So I am a girl's girl.
1:04:20
If you want to learn anything from me, it would be that I, for
1:04:24
the right price, will keep my mouth shut.
1:04:30
Climbing into the bacon cooler. Oh my God, goody roll for toe
1:04:37
grip. Nice.
1:04:39
Toe grip 3. I want to see a 12.
1:04:43
That is a 13. You don't fall, OK, Monty.
1:04:50
Lottie looks at you shocked. Don't look at me like I just
1:04:54
offered to like, kill your best friend or something.
1:05:00
What were you gonna say? I.
1:05:03
Know I really appreciated the. Space to think about it.
1:05:05
Perfect. Well, I could offer to kill your
1:05:08
best friend like if that would make this easier for you.
1:05:11
God, what are you talking about? I.
1:05:13
Don't know, you're giving me a weird look.
1:05:15
I'm just trying to suss out the vibe.
1:05:16
She takes her, she was like sort of distracted on her phone and
1:05:19
she like puts it down, puts it away.
1:05:21
And you can tell she's just like her eyes are darting around.
1:05:24
She's nervous. You've put her on edge.
1:05:26
She thought that her honesty here would be the girls, girls
1:05:31
way of encouraging you to keep your mouth shut.
1:05:34
Instead, she unzips her little stupid Fanny pack and pulls out.
1:05:40
Well, why don't you surveil? Yeah, I.
1:05:42
Was going to say, you want me to roll first surveillance?
1:05:44
Or something appraisal I. This.
1:05:48
Feels more like surveillance 3 and I would love to see a 10.
1:05:52
That's about half the bacon. OK, I didn't really have a
1:05:55
backpack. That is a 11.
1:05:58
Nice. OK, so she pulls out a couple of
1:06:00
20s from her Fanny pack, but you see that she pulls them out of
1:06:04
like a fat stack of cash. Like a wad of cash.
1:06:11
OK, so you're shorting like 60 bucks to you 60 bucks.
1:06:21
This is so cute. I will take this I.
1:06:27
As as GM in this moment, feel embarrassed Sia's face is
1:06:34
influential. In this room she.
1:06:35
Does this so? Well, taste is.
1:06:37
Killing me. She's so good at this.
1:06:40
So I will take the $60.00 and and because look at me $60.00.
1:06:48
What's going to buy my bus ride home from the dump anyway?
1:06:53
Fuck. Just like stalling, I'm going to
1:06:56
need extra information. I need to know what is up with
1:07:00
those stupid lanterns. They are stupid, aren't they?
1:07:03
Yes. Oh my God, I know.
1:07:04
It's like, So what? I got like a little bit scared
1:07:07
at one point and they like started flickering and like
1:07:09
thundering and oh. My God, they're still doing
1:07:11
that? That's the thing.
1:07:13
I can't believe. It So how do they work?
1:07:14
What was the deal? I don't know.
1:07:17
Monty like tilts her head and she's like I.
1:07:20
Don't know, they're just like crappy lanterns.
1:07:23
Well. That's easy to tell just from
1:07:24
looking at them, but like, who turns them on?
1:07:27
How do they turn on? Like are they solar powered?
1:07:30
They're like on a. Timer or something, I don't
1:07:31
know. They only come out at night.
1:07:33
But there wasn't like a wire or anything or like solar panels
1:07:37
like am I an? Electrical engineer?
1:07:38
I don't know, like ask Judd or. Something.
1:07:40
Maybe he knows why. Would I ask Judd?
1:07:42
I don't care how the lanterns work.
1:07:43
I care how the lanterns work. You asked Judd then.
1:07:45
Well, cuz I don't think Judd will tell me because I don't
1:07:48
work. Here, you know what?
1:07:49
I don't have to tell you anything.
1:07:51
Yes, you do, because. Attendance at the beach.
1:07:52
I have a secret of yours and $60.00 and that's not enough and
1:07:57
I need to know what is going on with these lanterns.
1:08:00
You really know nothing. I told you I they're old shitty
1:08:04
lanterns. And so the whole point is to
1:08:06
like send us down this deep dark path and hope that we like find
1:08:09
ourselves in the woods. They.
1:08:10
Make you feel good, don't they? No, none of this made me.
1:08:14
No, none of this experience has made me feel good at all.
1:08:17
Actually, she's like looking over Lottie's shoulder to see
1:08:20
like how far goody is along I. Have like 5 packs of bacon that
1:08:25
are like oversized in my arms and I'm trying to like toe grip
1:08:28
my way. Did you go for the cooked bacon
1:08:30
or the raw bacon in the fridge? The raw bacon.
1:08:32
And now I'm going for the cook. Now I'm going for the cooked.
1:08:34
Bacon. OK, we've got snacks.
1:08:36
The nows and the laters. Like I have all this raw bacon,
1:08:40
but I'm like and I'm on my way out.
1:08:41
I'm like, oh, wait, and I go down to like this.
1:08:44
A couple band put them in my. Mouth give me another check yeah
1:08:46
sure, give me toe grip 3. Can I give them a help?
1:08:49
Because I'm distracting, yeah. I want to see a 10.
1:08:53
That's a 10, hey. Plus 1/11.
1:08:56
Perfect, you got. As much bacon as you could
1:08:58
possibly enjoy or need. I have a bunch in my mouth and a
1:09:01
bunch in my arms and I have a bunch of my pockets and every,
1:09:05
every I was going to say orifice.
1:09:07
So every pocket I have is stuffed full of bacon.
1:09:12
And I look at Monti and I just like give her like an eyebrow of
1:09:15
mission accomplished. I start backing out of the room.
1:09:21
OK, Lottie, clearly you don't care or don't have clearance to
1:09:25
the information that I need. Your phone again.
1:09:28
What is more important than talking to me?
1:09:30
Honestly, I'm a business woman. I knew what you of all people.
1:09:33
Would understand that. I do.
1:09:34
If you tell me what you do for business, it's.
1:09:37
None of your business. Well, if I could give you some
1:09:42
advice for free, by the way, you might want to consider that the
1:09:49
tattoo on Brock's calf of the face like might have been a
1:09:52
different woman before it was you.
1:09:53
All right, Have such a good day. I'll see you at the beach.
1:09:57
Her jaw just like drops to the floor and she gives you this
1:10:01
dirty look as if she could never have possibly imagined that that
1:10:05
could be true. But now she.
1:10:07
Realizes that it very well could.
1:10:10
Like I can tell you haven't gotten a nose job, but that
1:10:13
tattoo, that's all I'm going to say.
1:10:18
She just walks out. Yeah, she, like Lottie, to save
1:10:22
face, sort of pretends like she ushered you out, like get get to
1:10:25
the beach. You're going to be late.
1:10:26
I'll write you up and she sends you on your way.
1:10:30
My gosh, the. Cafeteria.
1:10:32
When you walk out you just see a Batty running with so much
1:10:38
bacon. That's like flying off behind.
1:10:40
You. That's what I call a con, yeah.
1:10:43
Perfect. So I assume you guys will
1:10:45
eventually link up and head toward the beach?
1:10:47
Yeah, okay, cool. Let's check back in with Joey.
1:10:51
How are things going once you leave the cabin?
1:10:53
Well, I think I'm headed straight for the beach.
1:10:54
Wherever Brock is, if he's there, that's where I'm going.
1:10:57
You're beelining it for the beach.
1:10:58
You get there and you see like a couple of the more nerdy
1:11:01
straight edge type campers. Despite their troublemaking,
1:11:04
they've already arrived to the beach.
1:11:06
You see Brock there with his clipboard ready to take
1:11:08
attendance. He also seems distracted.
1:11:12
He's nursing his new calf tattoo.
1:11:14
I think I also keep an eye out for for Judd, the groundskeeper,
1:11:17
if he's around. Is he around at all?
1:11:19
Yeah, why don't you roll 4 between the lines?
1:11:23
Or I just I'm, I'm in, I'm trying to take in the situation.
1:11:25
I really just want to know what to follow up on.
1:11:28
And if my instinct is Brock, that's great.
1:11:30
And if if Joey's just like bullheaded, not paying attention
1:11:33
to what something he should be paying attention to, I want to
1:11:35
know. So between the lines, what do
1:11:37
you want from me? You have between the lines
1:11:39
three. I want to see a 10.
1:11:41
OK, here's a here's a between the lines and that's a ten baby.
1:11:45
Exactly 10 exactly. 10. Sweet.
1:11:48
OK, So what you're seeing is a very distracted Brock.
1:11:52
And by that I mean he's standing there with his clipboard taking
1:11:55
attendance. He's also checking his phone.
1:11:57
He's also radioing someone on his walkie-talkie.
1:12:00
You take a moment to like, really look around camp, see if
1:12:03
you can hear where his walkie talkies are being sent, see if
1:12:07
you can eavesdrop on him. And you hear what sounds like
1:12:10
other walkie-talkie static across the grounds.
1:12:14
So you're looking around towards the cabins, away from the beach,
1:12:16
on other areas of the camp. And you do see in his little
1:12:20
bobcat Judd hauling some stuff around camp.
1:12:24
OK, OK. With my Between the Lines, do I
1:12:27
have an instinct about who would give me more information, this
1:12:30
like very personal quest I feel towards Brock or does Judd have
1:12:34
any sort of extra information that I could glean from him, I
1:12:37
think. Due to proximity, you feel
1:12:40
probably most inclined to investigate Brock.
1:12:43
He's doing a lot. Cool.
1:12:45
Yeah, I think the fact that Judd's just kind of going about
1:12:48
his stuff and Brock seems frantic, for lack of a better
1:12:53
word. I'm going to just look a little
1:12:55
bit deeper into that franticness.
1:12:57
I'm also going to try to get closer to the beach without him
1:13:01
spotting me because I would like to get an idea of what he's
1:13:04
actually exactly wondering and worrying about.
1:13:06
Sure. It's going to be tough because
1:13:08
his job here is to take attendance, so he's like on the
1:13:11
lookout for students so that he can mark them as absent to make
1:13:13
sure that he doesn't have to send anybody out looking for
1:13:15
them. But you still have a few
1:13:17
minutes. Before you're due to the.
1:13:18
Beach. So you're going to post up
1:13:20
somewhere and sort of take a look and keep eyes on him?
1:13:23
Yes, I think so. OK, let's see another role.
1:13:25
OK, what? Do you want to use?
1:13:27
I think I would like to use Razzle Dazzle pyrotechnics grand
1:13:32
finale by making not like a huge explosion, but one that like the
1:13:38
distraction of a firecracker from the opposite end of the
1:13:41
beach that I'm trying to sneak towards, throwing his attention
1:13:43
one way so that I can find any amount of cover a little bit
1:13:47
nearer. Sure, cool, you have razzle
1:13:49
dazzle pyrotechnics. Grand Finale 3 Let's see a 8.
1:13:54
Awesome. Oh, that is two sixes and a
1:13:59
three for 15. Now I'm going to use three
1:14:03
experience points to level this skill up.
1:14:06
So what does? Oh my God.
1:14:08
What do you think razzle dazzle pirate Texas grand finale
1:14:12
becomes with it in mind that I'm trying to distract?
1:14:15
I guess that's. A great question.
1:14:18
I keep just to add like supreme to it.
1:14:22
I keep thinking of the Wizard of Ox.
1:14:23
Like Supreme Deluxe? Circus.
1:14:27
The delusions of grandeur, you could call it.
1:14:32
Look the other way. Cool, I like that misdirection.
1:14:35
I love. Misdirection is fun.
1:14:37
I love misdirection and I love look the other way.
1:14:39
Which would you prefer? It's up to you, OK?
1:14:40
Cool misdirection, full pre. Misdirection Deluxe.
1:14:48
Oh, maybe because I feel like I'm just adding that.
1:14:50
I feel like I'm adding con and razzle dazzle into the same
1:14:53
thing so that that feels like a good.
1:14:55
Yeah, I think that's great. Misdirection.
1:14:57
Awesome. Or what?
1:14:58
A feat. OK, so it sounds like you're
1:15:01
attempting to blow off a little firecracker as a distraction for
1:15:04
Brock and you sort of want to observe his reaction, correct?
1:15:07
What is your firecracker sound like?
1:15:10
Where do you place it? How approximately how far away
1:15:12
are you placing it? Imagine a very unassuming walk
1:15:17
where if you weren't looking at Joey with a discerning eye, you
1:15:21
wouldn't notice the singular firecrackers that kind of pop
1:15:25
out of his sleeve as he makes his way towards the beach along
1:15:29
all these different parts of the path.
1:15:31
And they're all different sizes. And the way that it, it sounds
1:15:37
like the pitter patter of a chase, like it sounds like a
1:15:41
group of kids running it. It's actually you could.
1:15:44
You could mistake it for a a Stampede of kids.
1:15:47
But because you're walking so leisurely, no one thinks to look
1:15:50
in that direction. Yes.
1:15:51
And no one thinks to look. So it's really a series of minor
1:15:55
explosions set off along a pathway that makes it sound
1:15:58
like, again, a Stampede of kids is is headed that way.
1:16:02
That's really, really great. OK, so Brock was already on
1:16:04
Edge. He looks up.
1:16:06
And to be clear, I'm trying to make it seem as if like all the
1:16:09
kids are coming to the beach early, like he is being caught
1:16:13
off guard by a massive amount of people.
1:16:15
Time to do his job, Yes. OK, so if it really sounds like
1:16:19
a Stampede of feet, I would say Brock is like sitting at a
1:16:21
picnic table with his back towards where this path might
1:16:24
be. So he's like on his phone on
1:16:27
Milwaukee taking attendance. He hears this and sort of gets
1:16:31
annoyed, rolls his eyes, gives a big sigh, like, I have to
1:16:35
actually do my job. Instead of students trickling in
1:16:38
me taking attendance one at a time, I should stand up and
1:16:40
like, welcome everyone to the beach.
1:16:42
And now I have to like put on my A game and actually check people
1:16:45
off the list. I'm mainly curious because he
1:16:47
was acting frantic before. I wasn't sure if he might like
1:16:50
go to hide something before all the kids showed up or if he was.
1:16:53
I'm curious if there was any sort of business that he was
1:16:56
trying to take a take care of before everyone got here.
1:16:58
So here's what he does. He stands up and he turns around
1:17:00
and he looks really, really confused.
1:17:03
He picks up his walkie-talkie and he like says something into
1:17:06
it. You overhear something like you
1:17:08
can't make it all out. You hear him say words like the
1:17:10
package and double check. He looks back around, sees that
1:17:15
oh, there was no giant herd of kids approaching, and decides to
1:17:19
go walk around the table towards the shed.
1:17:21
He opens the shed and he looks inside like he's checking on
1:17:24
something. Closes the shed back up, sits
1:17:27
back down at the table. Interesting.
1:17:29
OK, is the shed in the line of sight or can I readily sneak
1:17:32
over to the shed while he's not looking away?
1:17:34
Yeah, you can see it. You could.
1:17:35
You could sneak over to it for sure.
1:17:37
I would like to go look in the shed.
1:17:38
OK, sweet. I'm hoping that because he said
1:17:41
something about on the walkie about a package being secured.
1:17:44
You heard package and you heard double check.
1:17:46
Double check. OK, gotcha.
1:17:47
So he assumedly went to check on something in the shed.
1:17:50
I'm going to go check on that shed and see what Brock was
1:17:52
looking for. Yes, this is all working out.
1:17:54
It sure is. You also see Judd rolling over
1:17:57
in his bobcat headed your way. I think this is probably also
1:18:02
about the time that Monty and Goody would be strolling up
1:18:04
towards the beach, so we might have sort of a collision of
1:18:07
things happening. Oh boy, OK, do I get to the shed
1:18:10
before? Because I would like to get to
1:18:11
the shed without anyone seeing me.
1:18:13
You do make it to the shed first.
1:18:14
Do you want to open it up and check inside?
1:18:17
I would like to get an idea. As I gesture I think I make a
1:18:21
wave to Monty and Goody down the path and I like give a nod to
1:18:25
them and sneak into the shed. It's perfect timing.
1:18:28
I think they would probably pick up on the fact that you were
1:18:31
sleuthing around and maybe head over to Brock to check in for
1:18:34
attendance. Does that sound right?
1:18:36
Yeah, I think I've hidden the raw bacon, but I've still got a
1:18:38
lot of the the cooked bacon. There's like the seagulls are
1:18:42
descending, There's like a raccoon peeking out from the
1:18:45
forest. You've got the attention of
1:18:47
critters. Rock is like sniffing a little
1:18:49
bit, like what is happening on this beach.
1:18:52
I haven't showered and I'm covered in bacon crease.
1:18:54
I mouth the words come before me, but then I also mouth the
1:18:58
words. Save me a piece.
1:19:02
Perfect. OK, Joey, you open the door and
1:19:04
you see two big boxes bigger than a microwave.
1:19:11
Pretty big boxes. Smaller than a garden shed.
1:19:12
Smaller than a garden shed. You're in a small garden shed
1:19:16
near the water sports equipment and you see two large boxes.
1:19:21
They're crates. What do you do?
1:19:23
I open them. OK, so you open the boxes and
1:19:26
you find in one a big stack of brand new life vests.
1:19:31
Tag still on them and the other one you find a big box of like
1:19:35
unused perfect condition yard games.
1:19:38
You're seeing a lot of things that would make camp a whole lot
1:19:41
more fun. So far been no yard games at
1:19:44
camp. The life jackets for water
1:19:47
sports look worse for wear, but these things are all sparkly and
1:19:51
new. On top of the boxes there's post
1:19:54
it notes, one that says Alex and one that says Richard.
1:19:59
OK, so couple of people I don't even know never heard of and a
1:20:03
bunch of really nice stuff. The mystery thickens.
1:20:07
You start to hear Judd's bobcat rolling up.
1:20:10
Well, I don't have time to think about this, so I got to brain
1:20:13
blast it. OK, let's do this brain.
1:20:16
Just you and me and ya, there's no one.
1:20:18
Just don't worry. Don't don't be nervous.
1:20:20
No, you can do it. You do it every time.
1:20:22
No, you no. Ready.
1:20:23
Here we go. 123 idea ain't that didn't work so.
1:20:32
You're here outside the shed, goody running in front of the
1:20:35
bobcat and say you want some bacon.
1:20:37
You want some bacon? I'm cracking the code one second
1:20:41
no. I'm talking to this janitor.
1:20:43
Oh. Yes, that's good it.
1:20:46
Just bangs on the shed. Can I roll for between the lines
1:20:50
to try to put the other? What?
1:20:53
Like, why? Like, why are they holding back
1:20:55
the good stuff? Why is it labeled for two people
1:20:58
that we've never heard of? Yeah.
1:20:59
OK, roll read between the lines Three.
1:21:01
I'm going to look for a 10. That is a 13.
1:21:06
Nice. You remember a few things you
1:21:10
remember this morning, Brock said.
1:21:14
This camp pays like shit. I remember.
1:21:17
And at the same time, you hear a little a notification go off on
1:21:22
Brock's phone. What does it sound like?
1:21:23
That sounds familiar. It's not.
1:21:26
It's not Grinder. It's not Snapchat.
1:21:28
Is that Facebook Messenger? This this fuck is marketplacing
1:21:33
it. He's pulling an old Facebook
1:21:35
marketplace con. One of the oldest cons in the
1:21:37
book. Joey, I could barely hear you.
1:21:40
Are you talking to me? No, I'm I'm having a monologue
1:21:42
moment. The goody got quiet.
1:21:45
Brock, if you had to pick your favorite waters for what would
1:21:49
it be? And Are you sure?
1:21:51
You don't want some bacon, I mean.
1:21:52
Hey, what are you kids doing? Get out of my shed.
1:21:55
I'm here to pick up some boxes. I just figured you didn't get
1:21:58
enough bacon, so I just wanted to make sure that you had bacon.
1:22:00
Oh. We get a full spread over in the
1:22:02
administrator's cabin. But there's barely any for
1:22:05
anybody else. There was plenty.
1:22:07
Look at all the stuff that you have.
1:22:09
I mean, I got those because I'm goody and I get bacon.
1:22:15
You know what? Get out of my way, kid.
1:22:16
I'm here to do a job. Joey, I can't fend him off any
1:22:19
longer. Don't worry, I'm ready for him,
1:22:21
man. Judd heads to the back of his
1:22:23
Bobcat, where he has two other big boxes, and sort of
1:22:27
rearranges them as if to make room for more packages.
1:22:31
I want to go and shake Judd's hand and say, hey, Judd, sorry I
1:22:36
got in your way. I just really wanted to give you
1:22:37
some bacon. Here, put it there.
1:22:39
He looks at your hand and sees like the immense layers and
1:22:44
drippings of grease and gives you an elbow instead.
1:22:47
I can't bump elbows with you, child.
1:22:52
Endangerment child. Endangerment Child.
1:22:55
Endangerment. Child endangerment.
1:22:57
I would like to use this moment as a misdirection to slip out
1:22:59
without judging me. Let's see it Misdirection 4.
1:23:02
I want to see a 12. Could I help?
1:23:07
With a + 1 you could. That is just an 11 all told,
1:23:09
even without. He sees you coming out of the
1:23:11
shed and he he asks you what's going on.
1:23:13
He's like, Brock, control your campers.
1:23:15
What are they doing? Messing around with my stuff,
1:23:17
with your stuff, with the goods. Oh, the the goods.
1:23:21
That's a weird thing to talk about.
1:23:22
The life vests and things in there that seem to be perfect
1:23:25
for today to going out in the lake.
1:23:27
And I mean, look at this one. Mine's mine's I'm assuming
1:23:30
there's some on the beach. I like just tear it in half as
1:23:34
it's red bear material just like it comes where mines broken.
1:23:37
Hey, I'm gonna. Charge you for that.
1:23:39
How many thunderstorms was that, Monty?
1:23:42
That was too many thunderstorms. I'll tell you what.
1:23:44
Here, Judd, take this 20. It's fine.
1:23:47
My friend here, he deserved to RIP that in half.
1:23:52
Honestly. We've been through a lot in the
1:23:53
woods. He laps up your $20 bill, he
1:23:56
says. This camp pays like shit.
1:23:58
I'll take everything I can get. I keep hearing that like why do
1:24:01
you keep coming back if they pay so bad?
1:24:04
In this economy, I need a job lady.
1:24:07
We can't all have rich daddies. Like you, but I just feel like
1:24:10
you can get like a janitor job like somewhere else, like at
1:24:13
like McDonald's or like a school or like, I don't know where
1:24:18
janitors were clearly at camps. This job has its perks, let me
1:24:22
just say that. Please enlighten me, I've been
1:24:24
trying to figure out why you guys show up here everyday.
1:24:27
Get out of my shed, I've got to load up my supplies.
1:24:30
Hey, Joe, you said they had nicer life vests in there.
1:24:33
Yeah, I think it's something like a false deal where you you
1:24:35
keep all the good cards to yourself and you deal out the
1:24:38
cards that you don't want to have everybody else.
1:24:40
And all the cards they're keeping are all the ones with
1:24:42
the pretty faces, if you know what I mean.
1:24:45
Is that why Lottie had so much money?
1:24:47
Why didn't? Why?
1:24:47
What do you mean Lottie had money?
1:24:49
Lottie had a bunch of money in her Fanny pack I saw from the
1:24:51
ceiling when I had bacon. Lottie Lottie's, but she goes
1:24:55
home to impoverished family. She's doing the best that she
1:24:58
can. I can.
1:24:59
I can mentally see it. She's a really good person.
1:25:01
She's dating Brock. Yeah.
1:25:03
I don't think that's true. She has money.
1:25:05
She has a wad of cash and only offered me $60 to keep my mouth
1:25:10
shut. That's a year's allowance.
1:25:13
If you're going to stand around and hover while I try to do my
1:25:16
job, at least make yourselves useful and move some of the
1:25:18
boxes out of the out of the back of my bobcat.
1:25:20
I've got to put new boxes in. Well, OK, I I.
1:25:23
Purposely drop 1 and let it spill.
1:25:26
Out. Yeah.
1:25:26
What do you think it is? I think it's a bunch of new
1:25:28
stuff. Anyone.
1:25:30
If it's like Graham crackers, S'mores supplies like it's a.
1:25:33
Big old box of fresh paper lanterns.
1:25:37
Why the what? The heck?
1:25:39
Where, Where did? Where are these open?
1:25:41
Are you going to hang these up in the woods?
1:25:43
Because the ones that have been there have been here for more
1:25:45
than a decade. And they'll continue to serve
1:25:48
for a decade more. Young Miss.
1:25:50
No. Excuse me, Excuse me, Sir.
1:25:52
First of all, you don't speak to a lady like that.
1:25:54
And secondly, you appreciate the forest and the land that you
1:25:59
walk on. If I know anything about it, if
1:26:01
I know anything about living a life, it's that it's all worth
1:26:05
it. It's all has a meaning because
1:26:06
of flawless. That's just a path talking.
1:26:10
Are there are there any campers coming up now?
1:26:12
Yeah, there's like groups of one or two or three campers at a
1:26:15
time coming up and sort of distracting Brock.
1:26:18
While this is all happening. Like small group.
1:26:19
Yeah, I, I go, hey guys, they're giving out the nice vests over
1:26:23
here. Shit, great thinking I think oh
1:26:29
fuck, this is when I just wish I could sit back and like, see you
1:26:36
guys. Tell a story because I'm.
1:26:38
Like I don't want to. I have to put.
1:26:39
Rules or dictate what happens here.
1:26:41
I can record that effect. I think it's great.
1:26:43
No. Okay, so Rock sort of perks up
1:26:46
when he hears this because he's like, wait, somethings going
1:26:48
wrong over there. He knew that Judd was supposed
1:26:50
to be coming over to pick up this big box of life vests.
1:26:54
So when you say something about life vests, his ears perk up and
1:26:56
he sort of tries to stop these campers from heading that way.
1:27:00
But I'd imagine maybe the box flaps open.
1:27:02
Maybe you sort of direct them or start handing them out, and
1:27:05
suddenly campers are swarming from the beach to get new fancy
1:27:08
life vests. Yeah.
1:27:09
Yeah. At the same time, Judd is like,
1:27:11
bullshit. I got to get away with what I
1:27:13
can. He's trying to like, pick back
1:27:15
up all the lanterns that have spilled out of this box, grab
1:27:18
the box full of yard games, and load everything up onto the
1:27:21
Bobcat as quickly as he can. No, no, no, I don't think
1:27:26
Richard from Peoria would would really needs these as much as a
1:27:30
bunch of kids at camp. How about we keep the yard games
1:27:33
where they need to be in the yard, Mr. Judd?
1:27:36
And the life jackets like what do we need another charge of
1:27:40
child endangerment like? These are dangerous.
1:27:42
Clearly out of. Spec like we need Nobody's
1:27:47
endangering any child's. Speak for yourself.
1:27:50
That is a really deeply. Language, ma'am, you're gonna
1:27:54
get us all fired. Aren't you?
1:27:55
That's the goal Also, like, aren't you like a janitor of
1:28:01
this place? Like shouldn't you be like up
1:28:03
keeping it and making it as nice as possible?
1:28:05
Like why are you giving away like other lanterns like.
1:28:08
Small I don't give anything away.
1:28:10
Everything in life has a price tag and I've put one on these.
1:28:13
OK, well how much would it be worth to you to do your job
1:28:17
right? Wow, $40. 40 more dollars Quite
1:28:24
a. Claim little Missy, I don't have
1:28:27
to answer any of your stupid questions, kids.
1:28:29
He starts to to load more stuff up and.
1:28:32
How much money are you making off of selling paper lanterns?
1:28:35
This is a scam everybody. Lanterns are special.
1:28:40
Everyone's been saying Jason's always special.
1:28:42
The Lanterns aren't special. Everyone's been saying the
1:28:44
Lanterns nothing special with the lanes.
1:28:45
That's. What I said too she, but then
1:28:47
she's like it's none of your business.
1:28:48
That's what they keep saying. They just say none of your
1:28:50
business and they tell me brush you off.
1:28:52
Judd tell me and Monty straight tell me, Monty and Goody tell me
1:28:55
and my 2 best friends. Judd, do you know what it is
1:28:58
like to have friends? No.
1:29:00
OK, that's. I work at a camp that.
1:29:03
That's besides the point inside. But you got to tell us what's
1:29:05
special about the lanterns. You.
1:29:07
Kid, I don't know. They just do the the stuff.
1:29:09
They do the stuff. I don't know.
1:29:10
We hang them up every year. You guys have a great time on
1:29:13
the path. You come back, you feel better.
1:29:16
I don't know. We we didn't I.
1:29:17
Don't know where they came from. All I know is I could get a
1:29:19
pretty penny for them because I tell, I tell people on
1:29:22
Marketplace they're special. Judge, The thing is.
1:29:25
Special lanterns. With Asterix.
1:29:27
So many Asterix caps. Porch pick up Bend mower cash.
1:29:31
Judd First of all, I I appreciate this window.
1:29:33
I appreciate the the con. I appreciate the work and the
1:29:37
effort that you're going to put into this.
1:29:38
But don't you think at some point that it's more effort to
1:29:41
cheat yourself out of a job than just just do the job right?
1:29:44
Nah. OK, so here's the thing.
1:29:48
They're actually pretty fucking scary when they get going.
1:29:51
The lanterns, Yeah. They're lanterns.
1:29:53
You've never had. Anything.
1:29:54
They're scary. Synced with the thunderclouds.
1:29:57
OK, You guys were doing drugs or something in the woods and I
1:30:00
think I'm going to tell it. Was I?
1:30:03
Did no such thing. Goody that was OK.
1:30:08
I'm going to. I'm going to break bad guys.
1:30:10
I'm breaking baddie. I think you should.
1:30:12
This is the time. I think I'm going to take one of
1:30:14
my cans of Hairspray and the lighter, and I'm going to throw
1:30:17
the lighter first up the well. Well, Judd's not paying
1:30:20
attention up the exhaust pipe of the bobcat, and then I'm going
1:30:23
to shove the Hairspray up there as well.
1:30:26
And then I'm just going to put my shoes.
1:30:28
At the same time, I would say, and if you think you're going to
1:30:31
take all of these kids and I would gesture to the beach full
1:30:34
of like innocent youths, trouble making teens, but innocent
1:30:37
youths, something bad's going to happen.
1:30:40
I got my goody. Where'd you go?
1:30:42
And you pop up. I'm here, my friend.
1:30:45
Goody isn't always so good. He can make bad things happen
1:30:48
just by thinking about it, trying to threaten him in the
1:30:50
way of like, I don't want all these kids going on this path
1:30:53
tonight. And I got a I might be a good
1:30:56
man and my friend Goody is good, but you don't want to see his
1:30:58
bad side. And I try to threaten John with
1:31:01
Goody's presence. Bad, bad side.
1:31:04
Oh. Yeah, I do.
1:31:06
Stuff sometimes. Is this something you've
1:31:08
triggered to set off automatically, or do you have
1:31:12
some sort of ability to make this happen or not?
1:31:14
It sounds like it's going to happen.
1:31:16
Yeah, I imagined I like kind of like set it up so that the
1:31:20
lighter is a little bit like held on.
1:31:22
So there's butane building up in there.
1:31:24
So when the Bobcat starts, it's you're gonna like destroy the
1:31:27
engine at least. Perfect.
1:31:29
Great. You guys are so creative.
1:31:33
OK, Judd looks at you and continues to sort of brush you
1:31:36
off like, I don't have to answer to you.
1:31:39
The Lantern path isn't all that scary.
1:31:42
You guys deserve to be roughed up a little bit.
1:31:44
And look, in years past, this is what helped some of the kids
1:31:47
return and have a reverence for, you know, life.
1:31:50
Maybe they'd respect the rules. Maybe they'd listen to their
1:31:53
elders. Maybe they would get in line and
1:31:56
do things right if you know they were scared enough on the pack.
1:31:59
So let me get this straight, you want to scare us, not give us
1:32:03
the stuff that was for camp and make money off of us?
1:32:07
No one's making money off of you, trust me.
1:32:09
Your parents barely pay us to keep this camp running.
1:32:12
Well, I know, but where's all this stuff going?
1:32:15
They're selling it to random people, goody.
1:32:17
Alex and Richard from Peoria. Oh well, that's what I mean and.
1:32:21
Susan, she's picking up the Lantern, so I got to go.
1:32:24
He starts putting the lanterns back into the box.
1:32:26
He lets you. I mean, you know, the life
1:32:28
jackets have been distributed. He's sort of steaming about it,
1:32:31
but he knows he's caught between a rock and a hard place.
1:32:34
Anything to shut you guys up at this point.
1:32:35
He's like, look, keep your life jackets.
1:32:38
He's loading stuff up into the Bobcat.
1:32:40
He's going to sit in it and get ready to start.
1:32:42
Hey guys, let's let's go swimming like now, Like now, OK,
1:32:47
OK. Yeah, sure.
1:32:48
Yeah, yeah, we see that. Like your shoes are united.
1:32:50
Like, oh shit, yeah, yeah, right now.
1:32:53
Where's my did you take my retrofit Hairspray?
1:33:00
That is a perfect place to interrupt.
1:33:03
So good news, you're well on your way to saving the day and
1:33:05
uncovering the mysteries of this camp.
1:33:07
I love where your heads are at. The bad news?
1:33:09
We'll have to wait to find out what happens next because this
1:33:12
is where we'll end our session today.
1:33:14
In true die sized fashion, we're extending this story to see
1:33:17
where it takes us. Stay tuned for the final
1:33:19
installment of Camp Second Chance, where we'll find out
1:33:22
Joey, Goody and Monty have what it takes to get things back on
1:33:25
track at camp before their fellow campers set off to
1:33:28
experience the Lantern. Path.
1:33:31
It's a lie. It was just an MLM the whole
1:33:34
time your. Wizard lies.
1:33:37
My mom's right. Everyone besides her is a bad
1:33:39
person. Everyone.
1:33:40
I should just stay home and I should just hang out with my
1:33:42
mom. That's OK.
1:33:43
I put all the some of the raw bacon under all the the
1:33:46
administration pillows. Oh, OK, that's a odd thing to
1:33:50
do. I just thought they needed bacon
1:33:52
and the smell would be bad. You 2 are brilliant.
1:33:57
