  Charles: No, you're absolutely right.

  Mandy: Apparently KFC is doing a new thing,
• 2:34
  Mandy: a combo with Oreo.
• 2:38
  Mandy: It's an Oreo chicken burger with an Oreo bun.

  Charles: So I do wanna say,
• 3:04
  Charles: before we jump into introductions,
• 3:07
  Charles: I did have an alternate intro for this episode
• 3:12
  Charles: that I kinda played for you guys before the show,
• 3:14
  Charles: I was like, we should play this really terrible cover of Jolene.
• 3:20
  Chris: [LAUGHTER]
• 3:20
  Chris: We should save it for the end of the show.
• 3:21
  Charles: No, no.
• 3:22
  Charles: But what I wanted to do real quick is I do have another video.
• 3:25
  Charles: It's a cover-- it's a separate cover of Jolene for you guys.
• 3:30
  Charles: And I want to just like spice up the mood with this,

  Charles: I'm pretty messed up.
• 3:41
  Charles: It's been a rough couple of days.
• 3:43

  Charles: Hi everybody and welcome to Vibe Check.
• 4:49
  Charles: I am your humblest of hosts, Charles Joseph Kelly.
• 4:53
  Nora: And I am not humble, I'm Nora Rudnick and I'm amazing.
• 4:57
  Nora: Fuck yeah, I'm Nora.
• 5:00
  Nora: (laughing)
• 5:02
  Chris: And on the ones and twos over here,
• 5:04
  Chris: hi everybody, I'm Chris.
• 5:05
  Chris: I don't know if I'm humble or not.
• 5:07
  Chris: Why don't you call in at 888-853-VIBE
• 5:11
  Chris: and tell us if you think I'm humble
• 5:13
  Chris: because I think I'm humble as fuck.
• 5:16
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 5:16
  Mandy: The most humble.
• 5:17
  Mandy: That's right.
• 5:18
  Charles: Who's on the threes and fours today?
• 5:20
  Charles: Threes and fours!
• 5:21
  Charles: Threes and fours!
• 5:21
  Mandy: Hi, it's me!
• 5:23
  Mandy: Guys, a little tired here,
• 5:24
  Mandy: so chat, I'm expecting you to keep me awake
• 5:26
  Mandy: 'cause that's my one job tonight.
• 5:28
  Charles: Chat.
• 5:29
  Mandy: I love having a chat minder.
• 5:30
  Charles: Why do we call it the ones and twos?
• 5:33
  Charles: No idea.
• 5:33
  Charles: I know this is like an industry thing, right?
• 5:36
  Charles: That's a good question.
• 5:37
  Charles: Why is it called the ones and twos?
• 5:39
  Mandy: I've asked this so many times.
• 5:41
  Mandy: I've asked this so many times and no one gives me an answer.
• 5:44
  Chris: We'll have to ask AI and find out.
• 5:47
  Nora: There's barely even any real buttons anymore.
• 5:49
  Nora: Oh, there are real buttons.
• 5:50
  Mandy: Oh, there are real buttons back here.
• 5:52
  Chris: I got real buttons aplenty over here.
• 5:54
  Chris: You should see all my buttons.
• 5:56
  Charles: Right, if it's like soundboard, right?
• 5:58
  Charles: You have like your inputs
• 5:59
  Charles: and maybe that's like the ones and twos, right?
• 6:02
  Charles: I think we're good at it as we speak.
• 6:03
  Charles: But like you have more than two inputs.
• 6:05
  Charles: You have the ones and twos and threes and fours
• 6:07
  Charles: and fives and sixes and sevens and eights and nines.
• 6:09
  Mandy: Maybe we go all the way up to eight.
• 6:11
  Charles: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 6:15
  Nora: The one through eights,
• 6:16
  Nora: I think it just doesn't roll off the tongue as well.
• 6:19
  Chris: I mean, if we were being technically accurate,
• 6:22
  Chris: it'd be the ones through 16s,
• 6:26
  Chris: but that doesn't really roll off the tongue, does it?
• 6:28
  Chris: I love it.
• 6:29
  Chris: I'm gonna start saying that from here on out.
• 6:31
  Chris: So, ones and twos.
• 6:32
  Chris: Oh, oh, oh, guys, we have an answer.
• 6:34
  Chris: All right, so the ones and twos is broadcasting slang
• 6:37
  Chris: that comes from the two main kinds of control room work.
• 6:40
  Chris: Ones traditionally referred to vision,
• 6:42
  Chris: switching and controlling the pictures, like this.
• 6:45
  Chris: Okay.
• 6:46
  Chris: And twos referring to sound,
• 6:48
  Chris: microphones, music, and other audio.
• 6:50
  Chris: So ones and twos came to mean the technical operations area,
• 6:53
  Chris: especially in television studios.
• 6:55
  Charles: Chris, I love your twos.
• 6:57
  Charles: Thanks, baby.
• 6:58
  Charles: You do some great twos.
• 6:59
  Mandy: Yeah, my twos are all right.
• 7:01
  Mandy: I'm more of a fan of the ones.
• 7:03
  Charles: Your twos are the shit.
• 7:05
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 7:07
  Chris: My mom always said I got a face for the twos.
• 7:11
  Chris: (laughing)
• 7:15
  Nora: Well, how is everyone?
• 7:16
  Nora: How are we?
• 7:17
  Nora: We spent a lot of time together last week.
• 7:19
  Charles: I'm so sleepy.
• 7:21
  Charles: (laughing)
• 7:22
  Nora: I know.
• 7:24
  Charles: But I look so skinny on camera.
• 7:26
  Charles: Hold on, hold on, I'm gonna do it again.
• 7:27
  Nora: I'm gonna get frame mugged over here.
• 7:28
  Nora: God damn.
• 7:31
  Nora: It mugged.
• 7:32
  Nora: Mugged at my own table.
• 7:33
  Chris: We did spend a lot of time together last week.
• 7:35
  Chris: Break it down for us, y'all.
• 7:37
  Nora: So we had this show, which Mandy was not at.
• 7:40
  Nora: We did miss Mandy.
• 7:41
  Nora: I was busy.
• 7:41
  Nora: I was so busy.
• 7:42
  Nora: Yeah, and then Thursday we did Augsgiving,
• 7:45
  Nora: which is one of Mandy's traditional fall,
• 7:49
  Nora: I mean summer activities.
• 7:52
  Chris: This was what, the second or third annual?
• 7:55
  Nora: No, this is third or fourth.
• 7:56
  Chris: Third or fourth, okay.
• 7:57
  Nora: Yeah, and it was excellent.
• 7:59
  Chris: August does not fall.
• 8:00
  Mandy: She made so, well it was late.
• 8:02
  Mandy: You want it to happen?
• 8:04
  Mandy: We're lying to ourselves to make ourselves
• 8:06
  Mandy: get through this horrible heat a little more.
• 8:08
  Mandy: Right, but once we get to the burr months,
• 8:10
  Mandy: we're doing great.
• 8:11
  Mandy: Yeah, yeah. - We're doing great.
• 8:12
  Mandy: We don't need it then, right?
• 8:14
  Mandy: I think Thanksgiving is wasted on the burr months.
• 8:18
  Mandy: Give us something to look forward to in the sweltering heat.
• 8:20
  Chris: I mean, I think they do it in November
• 8:23
  Chris: because you have to eat all that food
• 8:24
  Chris: to keep yourself warm.
• 8:26
  Chris: It's true.
• 8:28
  Chris: But that didn't stop me from eating a fuck ton of food
• 8:34
  Charles: at Ogg's giving.
• 8:35
  Charles: Chris ate like 10 pounds of mashed potatoes.
• 8:38
  Nora: Alone. - Literally.
• 8:39
  Nora: Alone. - Something like that, yeah.
• 8:41
  Nora: He just sat with the terrine in front of him
• 8:42
  Nora: and ate out of it.
• 8:43
  Nora: It was amazing.
• 8:44
  Chris: Look, I've never been a drug user.
• 8:46
  Chris: I'm not much of a drinker.
• 8:48
  Chris: My drug of choice is mashed potatoes.
• 8:51
  Chris: Chris loves some taters.
• 8:51
  Chris: And I'm trying to take a spoon out of my hand.
• 8:54
  Chris: Chris loves some taters, everyone.
• 8:55
  Chris: Give me those taters.
• 8:57
  Nora: I mean, my plate was pretty piled,
• 8:59
  Nora: yours was pretty piled, and ours were clean
• 9:01
  Nora: by the end of it.
• 9:01
  Chris: Yeah, I'd say everybody had a good gorging.
• 9:04
  Chris: Delicious.
• 9:04
  Mandy: Yeah, I ate two pieces of challah.
• 9:07
  Mandy: Wow.
• 9:07
  Mandy: Yeah, that's not a bite of anything else.
• 9:10
  Mandy: You did eat some chicken beforehand.
• 9:11
  Mandy: I did, 'cause I knew that once the challah was on the table
• 9:13
  Mandy: I would be eating nothing else.
• 9:15
  Mandy: So I made myself eat half a chicken breast
• 9:18
  Mandy: before everyone showed up, so that I could just eat challah.
• 9:21
  Mandy: Yeah, it was great.
• 9:22
  Chris: For proper context, you know,
• 9:24
  Chris: So Mandy spends days planning this event
• 9:27
  Chris: and an entire day plus of making all of this food
• 9:31
  Chris: and then proceeds to eat none of this.
• 9:33
  Mandy: None of it, not one bit.
• 9:34
  Mandy: I know, thank you.
• 9:35
  Chris: Because all she wants is challah bread
• 9:38
  Chris: that our friend Josh brings to the gathering every year.
• 9:42
  Charles: So it's really funny.
• 9:44
  Charles: As the great Gwen Stefani once said,
• 9:46
  Charles: "You are one challah bread girl."
• 9:48
  Charles: Oh, I love it.
• 9:49
  Charles: I'll take it.
• 9:50
  Charles: Exactly.
• 9:51
  Charles: Speaking of bread.
• 9:52
  Charles: Talking about bread, you're absolutely right.
• 9:54
  Charles: Wait a second, wait a second guys.
• 9:55
  Chris: I know we do have something else.
• 9:56
  Chris: Hold on, hold on.
• 9:57
  Chris: I know, but such a good snack today.
• 9:59
  Chris: I will mute your mic.
• 10:00
  Chris: I'm gonna mute your mic.
• 10:03
  Chris: So we almost forgot the most interesting thing
• 10:07
  Chris: about Oggsgiving, which was the fire truck, Mandy.
• 10:11
  Mandy: Oh my goodness, so Model T fire truck was not planned,
• 10:15
  Mandy: but welcomed addition,
• 10:16
  Mandy: so we got our own Oggsgiving parade of one.
• 10:20
  Mandy: So we got to go on a ride.
• 10:22
  Chris: Yeah, so a friend of theirs that came to the gathering
• 10:26
  Chris: has this fully restored Model T from like 1922 or something
• 10:31
  Chris: and yeah, we got to go on a ride
• 10:33
  Chris: while Charles stood there and filmed it like a loser.
• 10:37
  Nora: We could have asked for them to do it.
• 10:38
  Nora: We stood there and we got eaten by bugs.
• 10:40
  Nora: Yeah. - Oh, I'm glad you heard.
• 10:42
  Charles: You know what, that Model T, I've got a good segue.
• 10:46
  Charles: You ready for this?
• 10:47
  Charles: That Model T must have cost that guy a lot of dough
• 10:52
  Charles: Yeah. - A lot of dough.
• 10:54
  Charles: I see the segue. - Speaking of.
• 10:56
  Charles: (laughing)
• 10:58
  Charles: Brought it right back for you, Nora.
• 11:00
  Nora: Thank you.
• 11:03
  Nora: But you brought bread for Mandy?
• 11:05
  Charles: I did bring some bread for Mandy.
• 11:07
  Charles: Mandy, do you have it in there?
• 11:09
  Mandy: Of course I do.
• 11:10
  Mandy: I'm not letting this sucker out of my sight.
• 11:13
  Mandy: Ooh. - That's some good bread.
• 11:15
  Mandy: I'm just sitting there tempting myself,
• 11:17
  Mandy: being like, okay, make it through this
• 11:19
  Mandy: and you can have some.
• 11:20
  Charles: Yes.
• 11:20
  Nora: I might just like crack my bread open in here.
• 11:23
  Nora: I made my own sourdough from the dug that I got last week.
• 11:26
  Nora: I'm having rising problems.
• 11:29
  Mandy: I mean, so did Charles for quite some time.
• 11:32
  Chris: Charles frequently has trouble rising to the occasion.
• 11:36
  Mandy: Yeah, we talked about it for a while.
• 11:39
  Chris: But speaking of rising to the occasion,
• 11:41
  Chris: I also baked this week.
• 11:43
  Chris: You did?
• 11:44
  Chris: Yeah, and I did not bake any bread,
• 11:48
  Chris: but I did bake what Mandy asked for.
• 11:51
  Mandy: Okay, wait, explain what I asked for.
• 11:53
  Mandy: Explain why that happened.
• 11:55
  Mandy: Why I'm getting baked goods showered upon me.
• 11:58
  Chris: So Mandy is correct.
• 12:00
  Chris: Mandy gets all of these fantastic food goodies
• 12:04
  Chris: because she chose the winning team
• 12:08
  Chris: for the Marble League this year, which was the-
• 12:10
  Chris: Suck it, losers!
• 12:11
  Mandy: Suck it!
• 12:12
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 12:14
  Chris: And we all decided to give the winner
• 12:18
  Chris: whatever their reasonable request was,
• 12:20
  Chris: and she wanted baked goods from all of us.
• 12:22
  Chris: So for me, that meant I had to make my second ever attempt
• 12:26
  Chris: at cooking something or at baking something, I should say.
• 12:30
  Chris: And here's how it went.
• 12:32
  Chris: Welcome to cooking with Chris.
• 12:35
  Chris: Hopefully this is edible.
• 12:36
  Chris: Parchment paper, not foil, 'cause only losers use foil.
• 12:42
  Chris: Half cup of granulated sugar.
• 12:48
  Chris: I'm a man.
• 12:49
  Chris: We tear things with our hands.
• 12:51
  Chris: Watching me suffer.
• 12:52
  Chris: Packed.
• 12:53
  Chris: That's pretty packed.
• 12:54
  Chris: Yeah.
• 12:55
  Chris: Probably in here.
• 12:57
  Chris: Yeah, I put this in yesterday because I plan ahead.
• 13:02
  Chris: I don't know if I've ever used a hand mixer before.
• 13:07
  Mandy: I'm so scared.
• 13:07
  Chris: Got some goo going on.
• 13:09
  Chris: I think it's slightly fluffy, but I'm not a doctor.
• 13:13
  Video: But I'm kind of do.
• 13:15
  Chris: It'll do.
• 13:16
  Chris: We're learning stuff today, kids.
• 13:17
  Chris: Okay, what else? A little bit of this business.
• 13:22
  Chris: Ooh, that's a bleeder.
• 13:24
  Chris: Okay, that's a tablespoon.
• 13:26
  Chris: Can't trick me, I got a teaspoon.
• 13:28
  Chris: Perfect every time.
• 13:29
  Chris: Brand new baking soda because nothing but the best for Mandy.
• 13:35
  Chris: That goes in there.
• 13:37
  Chris: We're gonna mix well.
• 13:45
  Chris: All right, we've got a nice mix.
• 13:48
  Chris: Okay, one cup of our two and a half,
• 13:50
  Chris: two cups of our two and a half,
• 13:52
  Chris: last half cup of butter.
• 13:56
  Chris: Which based on the speed may take a minute.
• 14:04
  Chris: We'll pull out, safety first.
• 14:07
  Chris: Always leave it in.
• 14:09
  Chris: You hear that, fellas?
• 14:16
  Chris: When I jackhammer move,
• 14:18
  Chris: you reproduce your soul.
• 14:20
  Chris: Oh, that's gonna be a great gift.
• 14:23
  Video: Just like that.
• 14:24
  Chris: Measure with your heart disease.
• 14:28
  Chris: It's important to have a good bottom folks.
• 14:31
  Chris: If you don't have a good bottom,
• 14:33
  Chris: your top doesn't know what to do.
• 14:35
  Chris: You wanna make sure everyone has
• 14:37
  Chris: You're absolutely right about that one, Chris.
• 14:39
  Chris: pleasant experience.
• 14:41
  Chris: Can't help it if my beautiful assistant gives me incorrect instructions.
• 14:49
  Chris: [laughter]
• 14:57
  Chris: One in there. There we go.
• 15:00
  Chris: Now all we have to do is bake.
• 15:03
  Chris: So we'll see you in 25 to 30 minutes.
• 15:06
  Chris: We started at 25, we added a little bit more so that the surface would crisp up a bit.
• 15:17
  Chris: Check out that technique.
• 15:19
  Chris: I hope this is good.
• 15:21
  Chris: If it's not, I take no responsibility if it causes violent stomach reactions, but hopefully
• 15:27
  Chris: the only stomach reaction it gets from you is happiness.
• 15:32
  Mandy: That's perfect.
• 15:34
  Mandy: I am so excited.
• 15:35
  Mandy: Amazing.

  Mandy: Look at it. - Ooh, that looks delicious.

  Mandy: Okay, let the record show, I do not enjoy sweets.

  Mandy: Like, I do not even wanna share it with you all.
• 16:00
  Mandy: (laughing)

  Chris: who basically just filmed me but didn't really give me,
• 16:33
  Chris: I got a couple of hints where I almost screwed up,
• 16:35
  Chris: but other than that it was just following the recipe so hopefully it works.
• 16:41
  Nora: Excellent. I love that video.
• 16:43
  Mandy: And can we once again just take a minute and remember why I'm getting these because I won.
• 16:47
  Mandy: I'm the winner. I'm never going to get tired of hearing that. I won. I'm the winner.
• 16:56
  Charles: Anyway.
• 16:58
  Nora: That is excellent.
• 16:59
  Charles: It's okay to be a sore winner sometimes.
• 17:02
  Mandy: I never win you all.
• 17:04
  Charles: That's what I'm saying.
• 17:06
  Charles: It's like you deserve it.
• 17:07
  Charles: You deserve to have something nice in your life,
• 17:10
  Charles: at least for once.
• 17:11
  Charles: For once.
• 17:13
  Charles: For once.
• 17:17
  Charles: Because you're just in general, because you lose so often.
• 17:20
  Charles: I lose so often.
• 17:21
  Charles: Because you are kind of a loser.
• 17:25
  Mandy: You're not wrong.
• 17:26
  Mandy: You're not wrong.
• 17:29
  Charles: You have to relish the wins where you can.
• 17:31
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 17:31
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 17:32
  Mandy: I'm stoked.
• 17:34
  Charles: So you guys, a couple weeks ago went to Banana Ball.
• 17:37
  Chris: Yes.
• 17:38
  Chris: Do you wanna talk about this?
• 17:39
  Chris: Speaking of winning, yes, we went to see Banana Ball.
• 17:43
  Chris: You know, we were, for those who don't know,
• 17:46
  Chris: Banana Ball is a kind of modern take on baseball.
• 17:50
  Chris: There's a lot of stunts, there's trick plays,
• 17:53
  Chris: there's a lot of entertainment
• 17:54
  Chris: before, during, and after the game.
• 17:56
  Chris: It's a good time, and it's such a popular event right now
• 18:01
  Chris: that you have to enter a lottery
• 18:03
  Chris: just to be able to get tickets.
• 18:05
  Chris: It's true.
• 18:06
  Chris: And we were, and I'm saying we,
• 18:09
  Chris: I'm not the one who won, but Mandy-
• 18:11
  Chris: I won!
• 18:12
  Mandy: I won again.
• 18:13
  Mandy: Mandy won again.
• 18:13
  Mandy: It's a year winning.
• 18:14
  Chris: And was able to get some banana ball tickets.
• 18:17
  Chris: Now, what is especially fun about this
• 18:22
  Chris: is that we went to the game
• 18:24
  Chris: and it took two hours to get to Denver from here,
• 18:27
  Chris: which it should only take less than one.
• 18:29
  Chris: So we were already spent by the time we got
• 18:32
  Chris: to Coors Field in Denver.
• 18:34
  Chris: And then of course, there was a rain delay.
• 18:37
  Chris: Not for five minutes, but for two hours.
• 18:41
  Mandy: In Colorado, that does not happen.
• 18:42
  Chris: It really doesn't.
• 18:44
  Nora: And like, the bananas don't have a lot of downtime,
• 18:47
  Nora: but like, if you have a two hour rain delay,
• 18:50
  Nora: there's nothing you can do about the downtime.
• 18:53
  Chris: They filled it where they could.
• 18:53
  Chris: They tried.
• 18:54
  Chris: They tried.
• 18:55
  Chris: You know, they did basically the same stuff
• 18:57
  Chris: they do between innings and whatnot.
• 18:59
  Chris: They did a lot of that, so there was a lot of singing,
• 19:02
  Chris: there was dancing, there was choreography stuff,
• 19:04
  Chris: there was juggling.
• 19:06
  Chris: But I'm watching these people go out and perform
• 19:09
  Chris: in pouring rain, and really the only thing I can think of
• 19:12
  Chris: is, man, I feel so sad that they're getting so wet.
• 19:15
  Mandy: Yeah, who drew the short straw for that one?
• 19:17
  Chris: Exactly.
• 19:19
  Chris: But who doesn't love a wet man?
• 19:23
  Chris: But I wanna draw special attention
• 19:25
  Chris: to my favorite participant of the game, this woman.
• 19:28
  Chris: (laughing)
• 19:29
  Chris: Who was dancing the entire game.
• 19:33
  Mandy: During the instructions, like the rules,
• 19:36
  Mandy: she was dancing.
• 19:37
  Chris: Yeah, like it was-
• 19:39
  Mandy: Dancing in the rules, like, oh yeah,
• 19:41
  Mandy: tell us the rules.
• 19:42
  Mandy: What are those rules?
• 19:43
  Mandy: Yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh.
• 19:46
  Chris: I have multiple videos of this chick just getting down.
• 19:52
  Chris: She was there with some children,
• 19:54
  Chris: which I think were hers, but they seemed to,
• 19:57
  Chris: like she seemed to be not interested in them at all.
• 19:59
  Chris: She was just kinda, she was just grooving a little bit,
• 20:02
  Chris: you know?
• 20:03
  Nora: I am so here for that.
• 20:04
  Chris: Like look at that, now she's removed a layer.
• 20:06
  Chris: We were taking bets on whether she would end up naked
• 20:09
  Chris: by the end of it.
• 20:10
  Chris: (laughing)
• 20:10
  Mandy: She, okay, halfway through, she disappeared.
• 20:13
  Mandy: And we think she like took a little snoozy nap,
• 20:16
  Mandy: like at the bottom of the, like, of the chairs.
• 20:19
  Chris: Yeah, I assume she passed out.
• 20:20
  Mandy: Yeah, she took a little nap and then came back dancing.
• 20:24
  Charles: How can we do that for this show?
• 20:26
  Charles: Just take a snoozy little nap for the middle section
• 20:31
  Charles: of this episode and then come back and finish it up.
• 20:34
  Nora: I'm eating my bread.
• 20:35
  Nora: You're eating bread already?
• 20:37
  Nora: Yeah, 'cause I-
• 20:37
  Nora: How is it?
• 20:38
  Nora: It's really, it tastes delicious.
• 20:40
  Nora: It has rising problems, which we knew.
• 20:42
  Nora: Right.
• 20:43
  Chris: It's got some ED.
• 20:44
  Nora: I mean, you got the starter from Charles.
• 20:47
  Nora: I got the right amount of salt.
• 20:48
  Nora: That's much better.
• 20:50
  Nora: I have the starter from Charles.
• 20:52
  Nora: I just need to feed my starter earlier.
• 20:54
  Nora: Is really, I think, what I need to do.
• 20:56
  Nora: That's gonna be my next experiment.
• 20:58
  Charles: I wanted to see your recipe too.
• 21:00
  Nora: The one that you're-
• 21:00
  Nora: It's the exact one that you gave me from the dug.
• 21:03
  Charles: Okay, I'm gonna send you-
• 21:04
  Nora: Send me an updated one.
• 21:05
  Nora: An updated one.
• 21:06
  Chris: So Mandy, since you were there with us
• 21:09
  Chris: when we were doing the banana bowl,
• 21:11
  Chris: other than the rain delay,
• 21:13
  Chris: which tested everybody's patience,
• 21:15
  Chris: what was your impression of the whole thing?
• 21:18
  Mandy: I'm glad it was there.
• 21:19
  Mandy: Like the dancing and stuff, I got real bored real fast.
• 21:23
  Mandy: I had the attention span of like a fifth grader.
• 21:26
  Mandy: Stilt!
• 21:27
  Chris: Yeah, stilt dude.
• 21:28
  Mandy: I was diagnosed with ADHD in the 90s as a girl.
• 21:33
  Mandy: That's a lot.
• 21:34
  Mandy: Like that doesn't happen in the 90s as a girl.
• 21:38
  Mandy: So as fifth grade attention span, I needed to go home.
• 21:41
  Mandy: Like I got bored.
• 21:42
  Mandy: Or do something else, just go somewhere else,
• 21:44
  Mandy: do something else.
• 21:44
  Chris: Did you consider just dancing?
• 21:46
  Nora: I should have.
• 21:48
  Nora: You could have gone, what I did is I just went
• 21:50
  Nora: and stood in the line for all of the merch
• 21:52
  Nora: 'cause the merch line was long.
• 21:54
  Nora: But I guess if you had a two hour rain delay,
• 21:56
  Nora: then it doesn't matter.
• 21:57
  Mandy: Yeah, and I still have a broken leg technically,
• 22:01
  Mandy: so standing isn't really my forte.
• 22:03
  Mandy: That's not really for you.
• 22:04
  Mandy: Yeah, not right now.
• 22:05
  Chris: You could have danced in place.
• 22:07
  Chris: I could have just.
• 22:08
  Mandy: The club seats are the way to go.
• 22:11
  Nora: If you go to the cornfield. - Yeah, forever.
• 22:13
  Nora: They're so awesome.
• 22:14
  Chris: And the nice thing about where we sat
• 22:16
  Chris: is that we were just under the like,
• 22:19
  Chris: One row. - Rooftop canopy.
• 22:21
  Chris: So yeah, barely under it,
• 22:22
  Chris: but we didn't get any rain at all,
• 22:24
  Chris: whereas people two rows in front of us got soaked.
• 22:27
  Chris: So that was pretty cool.
• 22:28
  Nora: Yeah, club seats are the way to go.
• 22:29
  Chris: Yeah.
• 22:30
  Chris: Good times.
• 22:30
  Chris: I recommend anyone who gets a chance to go should go.
• 22:34
  Chris: What was that face?
• 22:35
  Chris: I got a crunchy bit.
• 22:37
  Chris: (laughing)
• 22:38
  Chris: Banana ball is amazing.
• 22:39
  Chris: I'm really mad that I didn't get to go.
• 22:42
  Chris: I love it.
• 22:44
  Chris: So I guess the question before us is,
• 22:47
  Charles: does this make us sports fans?
• 22:50
  Nora: No.
• 22:50
  Charles: Well, we also went to another sports thing
• 22:53
  Charles: that we'll talk about later in the show.
• 22:54
  Charles: We did. - We did.
• 22:55
  Nora: Are we sports guys now?
• 22:57
  Charles: Are we into sports? - Are we sports guys?
• 23:00
  Chris: I guess that's the question, right?
• 23:01
  Chris: I'm too pretty.
• 23:03
  Mandy: I'm sorry, except I did get to like make a little outfit
• 23:06
  Mandy: for the bananas. - That's so fun.
• 23:07
  Mandy: And so I am for that.
• 23:09
  Mandy: Maybe if I was, they were more themed, I think I'd-
• 23:13
  Chris: Well not only did you make the banana dress,
• 23:16
  Chris: but you also made a whole bunch of banana scrunchies
• 23:18
  Chris: that you handed out to people like they were cupcakes.
• 23:22
  Mandy: Which was delightful.
• 23:23
  Mandy: So people would come up to me and compliment my dress
• 23:25
  Mandy: and anybody who complimented my dress
• 23:27
  Mandy: got a matching scrunchie.
• 23:28
  Charles: Okay, real quick, how'd you get that fabric?
• 23:33
  Mandy: Lynn bought it online.
• 23:36
  Mandy: Spoonflower.
• 23:37
  Charles: Nice. - Love it.
• 23:38
  Charles: Nice. - Love it.
• 23:39
  Charles: Hell yeah. - Yeah.
• 23:40
  Charles: Hell yeah.
• 23:41
  Mandy: I did offer to make ones for the boys that match.
• 23:44
  Mandy: They were not interested.
• 23:46
  Mandy: What the fuck?
• 23:47
  Chris: That's kinda lame. - I have a thing with fabric.
• 23:49
  Chris: I need it to be like super soft or I don't enjoy myself.
• 23:52
  Mandy: So you can buy this in silk.
• 23:55
  Mandy: You just have to be willing to pay for it.
• 23:57
  Chris: I wasn't told that.
• 23:59
  Mandy: It's an option.
• 24:00
  Chris: All right, good to know for next time.
• 24:03
  Chris: You could have had little like slutty little shorts, Chris.
• 24:06
  Mandy: I offered, like I had, I showed a pattern.
• 24:09
  Mandy: I was like, here's, and it's like a little,
• 24:10
  Mandy: a little Hawaiian top and little Hawaiian shorts.
• 24:12
  Mandy: Right, that would have been perfect for that pattern.
• 24:14
  Mandy: Yeah. - It really would have.
• 24:15
  Chris: Missed opportunities, but you know, we had a good time.
• 24:18
  Chris: We got home way, way, way too late.
• 24:19
  Mandy: Yeah, I wasn't in bed until three o'clock in the morning
• 24:22
  Mandy: and I am too old for that, like officially.
• 24:24
  Mandy: Yeah. - No.
• 24:25
  Chris: That's really late. - Speaking of too old for that,
• 24:27
  Chris: you're going to MCR this week.
• 24:28
  Mandy: I know, I know.
• 24:30
  Mandy: Three weeks in a row going to Denver for late nights.
• 24:34
  Nora: And there's gonna be a lunar eclipse tomorrow night
• 24:37
  Mandy: for MCR. - Oh yeah?
• 24:38
  Mandy: I didn't know that. - That's cool.
• 24:40
  Mandy: Lunar eclipse for MCR.
• 24:42
  Charles: That's pretty cool. - Yeah, that is pretty cool.
• 24:44
  Mandy: Fourth row, you guys, fourth row.
• 24:47
  Chris: So on one of our group activities,
• 24:50
  Chris: We kind of all decided that we're gonna start reviewing the Twilight movies. How are we doing this Charles? Okay
• 24:57
  Charles: This is what we need to talk about right? So we're gonna start weekly
• 25:01
  Charles: Doing one movie a week
• 25:04
  Charles: Do we also?
• 25:06
  Charles: Have somebody also reviewing the books
• 25:09
  Mandy: You're not gonna do that. I mean I can read them again. I won't read them
• 25:13
  Charles: Do you think that's enough time a week per book? I bless your heart
• 25:17
  Mandy: They're not hard reads.
• 25:19
  Chris: No, I understand, but like.
• 25:21
  Chris: I think watching the movies is dutiful enough.
• 25:27
  Chris: For you?
• 25:27
  Chris: I don't feel the need to read the books.
• 25:29
  Charles: Well, no, I'm just saying at least one of us
• 25:30
  Charles: should also read the book to see if there's like,
• 25:33
  Charles: the significant differences.
• 25:35
  Mandy: Look, I don't even wanna admit what I'm about to admit.
• 25:39
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 25:39
  Chris: She's read it a lot.
• 25:40
  Chris: Do it, do it, do it.
• 25:42
  Mandy: So I listen to Things to Fall Asleep
• 25:45
  Mandy: And sometimes they were books with rain in the background.
• 25:48
  Mandy: So they'd read an audio book to you with rain.
• 25:50
  Mandy: And so I was doing Pride and Prejudice,
• 25:52
  Mandy: and that was wonderful,
• 25:53
  Mandy: until Pride and Prejudice got cut in the middle
• 25:56
  Mandy: with a horror story.
• 25:58
  Mandy: And so I'm waking up in the middle of the night
• 25:59
  Mandy: to literal, like, the house, what is it?
• 26:02
  Mandy: The Netflix ones?
• 26:04
  Mandy: That haunting? - Oh, like the
• 26:05
  Mandy: haunting of the film. - Haunting film, yes.
• 26:07
  Mandy: And so I wake up to that in the middle of the night,
• 26:09
  Mandy: and I'm like, this is not it, this is not it.
• 26:11
  Mandy: So I switched to Twilight because there's so many of them,
• 26:14
  Mandy: and it consists of a giant playlist.
• 26:16
  Mandy: And nothing is really terrifying about Twilight.
• 26:18
  Chris: Sure.
• 26:19
  Mandy: So I already am apparently too familiar with the story.
• 26:22
  Mandy: So you know the books.
• 26:24
  Charles: Did you have Twilight themed dreams during that time
• 26:28
  Charles: when you were listening to the books?
• 26:30
  Mandy: I haven't, sadly no.
• 26:32
  Mandy: Sadly no.
• 26:33
  Mandy: That's sad.
• 26:33
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 26:34
  Mandy: No renaissance?
• 26:36
  Nora: No, no, that would be horror as well.
• 26:39
  Nora: (laughing)
• 26:40
  Nora: Stop mogging over there.
• 26:42
  Nora: You're brain bugging me.
• 26:43
  Chris: It's so fun.
• 26:45
  Chris: So here's my question then.
• 26:46
  Chris: Are we watching these as a group or are we
• 26:49
  Chris: watching them all individual and kind of like comparing notes
• 26:52
  Chris: on the show?
• 26:52
  Chris: We should watch the final one together.
• 26:55
  Charles: OK.
• 26:55
  Mandy: The final one is two parts.
• 26:57
  Mandy: Some questions.
• 26:58
  Mandy: Number five?
• 26:59
  Charles: I think the final, final movie we should watch together
• 27:03
  Charles: because that one gets wild.
• 27:06
  Video: OK.
• 27:07
  Video: Yeah.
• 27:08
  Charles: You know what I'm talking about.
• 27:09
  Charles: I do know what you're talking about.
• 27:10
  Charles: I need a film Chris's reaction to that moment.
• 27:15
  Charles: That's valid.
• 27:15
  Charles: Is it gonna be something like this?
• 27:18
  Nora: No. - No.
• 27:19
  Nora: No.
• 27:20
  Charles: How about this?
• 27:21
  Nora: I haven't, no.
• 27:22
  Nora: It's gonna be, you're gonna be mad about it.
• 27:24
  Nora: You're gonna be fucking mad.
• 27:25
  Charles: Chris, you're gonna look like this.
• 27:30
  Charles: (laughing)
• 27:34
  Charles: If you suck in your cheeks a little bit,
• 27:36
  Charles: it gives that gaunt kind of look too.
• 27:39
  Charles: Like bite your cheeks.
• 27:40
  Charles: More like bite the insides of your cheeks.
• 27:43
  Charles: Bite your lip.
• 27:44
  Charles: Bite your lip.
• 27:44
  Mandy: So in physical therapy, we have a word
• 27:47
  Mandy: for these sorts of things.
• 27:48
  Mandy: And they're called motor morons, is what my physical therapist
• 27:51
  Mandy: says.
• 27:52
  Mandy: People who can't control all their fine motor skills
• 27:55
  Mandy: and understand how-
• 27:57
  Mandy: they'll raise your right hand, and they won't understand
• 27:59
  Mandy: how to do it.
• 28:00
  Chris: OK.
• 28:01
  Chris: I mean, I did have Bell's palsy last year.
• 28:04
  Chris: That's fair.
• 28:05
  Chris: Maybe that's something to do with it.
• 28:06
  Charles: It's a-- your motor moron symptoms are Bell's palsy.
• 28:12
  Charles: Perfect.
• 28:13
  Charles: Yeah, it's just my luck.
• 28:15
  Charles: But no, I think that movie we will watch together
• 28:21
  Charles: and film our reactions.
• 28:22
  Nora: I haven't actually watched it.
• 28:24
  Nora: So I'm sure my reaction will be good, but I do know about it.
• 28:29
  Charles: But I think we'll go through not only the movies, right?
• 28:32
  Charles: We'll talk about the movies, what we liked,
• 28:34
  Charles: what we didn't like.
• 28:35
  Charles: But we should also go into like the the the others
• 28:41
  Mandy: Know the impact in cult on culture. That's why I like to write
• 28:45
  Charles: We need a we need to teach Chris about tits soak right the lore we need to teach Chris about like
• 28:52
  Charles: Eggward
• 28:54
  Chris: Eggward Eggward like all of the all of the need you say Edward or egg word. We said it right
• 29:00
  Charles: I said it right yeah, we said all right, okay?
• 29:03
  Charles: Like there's there's so many like classic memes and like that has like
• 29:10
  Charles: Destroyed the brains of many people. It's so mean aside and I can't wait to be one of them
• 29:18
  Charles: But any other things that we should like kind of do with this
• 29:24
  Chris: So I guess the question is when do we start? Are we are we saying like by next week?
• 29:28
  Charles: We'll have watched the first movie. Yes. Yes, I think on Hulu starting
• 29:32
  Charles: Starting next week, we're going to do one movie a week,
• 29:35
  Charles: leading up to the fifth movie, where we all watch together.
• 29:39
  Charles: And-
• 29:40
  Mandy: Can we get the fifth movie on calendar
• 29:41
  Mandy: so that we can arrange watching times?
• 29:43
  Mandy: And 2B.
• 29:45
  Charles: Yeah.
• 29:46
  Mandy: Yeah, we'll plan-- well, we should plan that,
• 29:48
  Nora: like, after the show.

  Mandy: Oh, I love it.

  Charles: Oh my gosh.

  Mandy: Except I did just host Augsgiving,
• 30:14
  Mandy: so I'm kind of burnt.
• 30:16
  Chris: I can host.
• 30:17
  Chris: Yeah, but good thing you have all this sugar,
• 30:19
  Chris: so you'll have energy to plan the events.
• 30:21
  Nora: So much sugar.
• 30:23
  Nora: I love you.
• 30:23
  Nora: You need to get a fork in there.
• 30:28
  Charles: So with that, so we've got some great stuff next.
• 30:31
  Charles: but we got some great stuff this week,
• 30:34
  Charles: very specifically in Around the Net.
• 30:43
  Video: Around the Net.
• 30:45
  Video: (clapping)
• 30:46
  Nora: Okay, and we have a few this week.
• 30:48
  Nora: So let's start with the event that we missed
• 30:52
  Nora: because these three were not willing
• 30:55
  Nora: to hang out with me another day.
• 30:56
  Nora: Heather actually-
• 30:58
  Chris: (laughing)
• 30:58
  Chris: Whoa, whoa, whoa, shots.
• 31:00
  Chris: Whoa, Nora, whoa, whoa.
• 31:02
  Nora: And actually, I didn't want to drive down to Denver again.
• 31:04
  Nora: But Heather roller skated.
• 31:06
  Nora: Let's see the update.
• 31:07
  Nora: Heather, Heather, Heather.

  Nora: She's falling really good.
• 31:33
  Nora: (dog barking)
• 31:40
  Mandy: I love how supportive everyone is.
• 31:42
  Mandy: She has a butt pad.
• 31:44
  Mandy: (crowd cheering)
• 31:46
  Chris: I can't believe how many people showed up for this.
• 31:49
  Chris: (laughing)
• 31:51
  Nora: We missed it you guys, we missed it.
• 31:53
  Chris: We really did.
• 31:55
  Chris: Wow, good for her.
• 31:57
  Nora: Yeah, so she roller skated.
• 31:58
  Nora: That's community organizing right there.
• 32:00
  Nora: Yeah, it is.
• 32:01
  Nora: That's community organizing.
• 32:02
  Nora: And the dogs were cheering for her.
• 32:03
  Chris: And for such a useful cause too.
• 32:05
  Nora: Yeah, right?
• 32:07
  Nora: Like, yeah, a girl roller skating for the bit.
• 32:11
  Nora: I think it turned into a bit.
• 32:13
  Charles: Okay. - Turned into?
• 32:14
  Charles: It was a bit the entire time.
• 32:15
  Nora: Yeah, it was always a bit.
• 32:16
  Nora: Well, you know, if you never roller skated before
• 32:20
  Nora: and you turned it into a bit, then like kudos to you.
• 32:23
  Nora: Okay, this next one is an Iowa newscast.
• 32:26
  Nora: And frankly, I don't remember what this video is.
• 32:28
  Nora: So let's see.
• 32:29
  Chris: Excellent.
• 32:30
  Video: Alex, welcome to you.
• 32:31
  Video: Oh, please don't tell me you were writing down that slide.
• 32:33
  Video: You're OK.
• 32:34
  Video: You're at the bottom of the slide.
• 32:34
  Video: You must be.
• 32:36
  Video: OK.
• 32:36
  Video: I thought you might be writing down knowing you.
• 32:38
  Video: But anyway, Alex, are Democratic candidates more optimistic today?
• 32:44
  Video: Alex, I'll be honest.
• 32:45
  Video: I'm at the top of the slide.
• 32:46
  Video: And right now, Democrats are feeling like they're at a new height.
• 32:51
  Video: Remember, this is a state that's been absent of Democratic leadership for quite some time.
• 32:56
  Chris: You know, political news coverage has really gone downhill lately.
• 33:07
  Chris: If they did it like this, I wouldn't mind.
• 33:10
  Video: Now, the last time a Democrat was elected to the governor's mansion,
• 33:13
  Video: that was 2006 with Chad Colver. The last time a Democrat was elected to the halls of the U.S.
• 33:18
  Video: That was Tom Harkin all the way back in 2008.
• 33:21
  Video: But right now, as we're sliding into the midterms,
• 33:24
  Video: we caught up with Josh Turick and Rob Sand,
• 33:28
  Video: and they tell us that they're projecting a lot of confidence.
• 33:31
  Video: Take a listen.
• 33:32
  Chris: The cameraman is just like, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.
• 33:36
  Video: He timed it so perfectly.
• 33:38
  Chris: Yeah, that was very good.
• 33:40
  Chris: The guy was about to push him down.
• 33:42
  Chris: You see that?
• 33:43
  Chris: He's like, come on, man.
• 33:44
  Nora: I'll do it.
• 33:44
  Nora: I'll do it.
• 33:45
  Chris: You know the whole pitch for that
• 33:47
  Chris: Just so he could say we're sliding into the midterm.
• 33:49
  Nora: Mm-hmm, yep.
• 33:50
  Nora: (laughs)
• 33:51
  Nora: All right, and now my next one is,
• 33:54
  Nora: we should talk a little bit about Chongqing.
• 33:57
  Video: In the city of Chongqing,
• 33:58
  Video: not only you can't find a true ground floor,
• 34:01
  Video: but each floor also has its own unique ecosystem.
• 34:05
  Video: So what's behind me is a regular plaza
• 34:07
  Video: and a Chinese temple.
• 34:08
  Video: And on this side, it's a street level with busy traffic.
• 34:11
  Video: But if we head this way
• 34:12
  Video: and go down the basement of this restaurant,
• 34:14
  Video: there's another entire floor of restaurants
• 34:16
  Video: Hidden Underground.
• 34:17
  Video: Now this might not sound too crazy for Chongqing, but if we keep walking deeper down the hill,
• 34:21
  Video: you'll start hearing music.
• 34:22
  Video: And yes, there's a literal disco club Hidden Underground built specifically for middle
• 34:27
  Video: aged locals.
• 34:28
  Video: During the daytime, this club opens at 9am.
• 34:31
  Video: And here I am, sitting inside a disco club at 10 o'clock in the morning, questioning
• 34:36
  Video: all my life choices.
• 34:37
  Video: Going down one more layer, you can't even use the stairs anymore, like you've just hit
• 34:41
  Video: an invisible wall in the video game.
• 34:43
  Video: And somehow the next level is a pharmacy.
• 34:45
  Video: You thought seeing the first floor button on the elevator meant you finally reached
• 34:48
  Video: the ground?
• 34:49
  Video: Nope.
• 34:50
  Video: You walk out and find yourself at a foot massage parlor.
• 34:52
  Video: And then the exit brings you back into normal daylight.
• 34:55
  Video: Except, the ground floor is actually a bridge.
• 34:58
  Video: Below there's another layer of roads, another entrance, and even a hospital.
• 35:02
  Video: Then we turn around and enter this residential building.
• 35:04
  Chris: And somehow, what's waiting outside is another rooftop.
• 35:07
  Chris: Okay, one last time.
• 35:08
  Chris: You know, if you keep going down far enough, you end up in that place from the movie Us
• 35:12
  Chris: with all the rabbits.
• 35:13
  Chris: Exactly.
• 35:14
  Video: That's the thing I have about like-
• 35:15
  Video: Okay, so now I'm trying the first floor of this building.
• 35:18
  Video: This time it's gotta be right, right?
• 35:19
  Charles: What, Charles?
• 35:20
  Charles: No, you're fine.
• 35:21
  Charles: Well, I'll say my joke after we play the video.
• 35:25
  Video: 14th floor, it's not looking good.
• 35:26
  Video: Pretty sure I am walking on the ground floor.
• 35:30
  Video: I don't wanna look to my left.
• 35:34
  Video: Oh, God!
• 35:38
  Charles: So I mean, that's just loudspeaker, right?
• 35:40
  Charles: Like you go down one floor,
• 35:43
  Charles: There's a hairstylist down another floor.
• 35:47
  Charles: There's like other buildings.
• 35:49
  Charles: We haven't even shown people
• 35:51
  Charles: the underground labyrinth of this building.
• 35:53
  Charles: Right, exactly.
• 35:54
  Charles: Yeah, it becomes the house of leaves house.
• 35:58
  Charles: (laughing)
• 35:58
  Charles: Inside.
• 35:59
  Charles: This building right here.
• 36:01
  Charles: Inside this building right here, yeah.
• 36:04
  Charles: Well, that's exciting.
• 36:04
  Nora: Have you seen the Chongqing?
• 36:06
  Nora: Like how, like it's, I get lost in the Chongqing videos
• 36:10
  Nora: because it's a mountain town in China.
• 36:12
  Nora: And so every floor is a different ground floor
• 36:16
  Nora: and it really, I feel like it,
• 36:18
  Nora: it kind of reminds me of like those alien cities
• 36:20
  Nora: in like a, you know, video game or something.
• 36:23
  Nora: Like it's really cool, like it's so fascinating.
• 36:26
  Nora: So.
• 36:27
  Charles: Okay, my turn.
• 36:28
  Charles: I've got some good stuff,
• 36:30
  Charles: some stuff that's gonna piss you guys off.
• 36:32
  Charles: (laughing)
• 36:33
  Nora: Probably just those two.
• 36:34
  Charles: So this-- - Hold on, guys.
• 36:36
  Charles: (laughing)
• 36:39
  Charles: How's the, okay, how's the crumb?
• 36:41
  Charles: I was kind of worried.
• 36:44
  Charles: How's it taste?
• 36:45
  Video: Good.
• 36:45
  Video: (laughing)
• 36:46
  Video: It's good?
• 36:47
  Video: It's really good.
• 36:48
  Video: (laughing)
• 36:51
  Charles: Hell yeah.
• 36:52
  Charles: Good.
• 36:53
  Charles: Excellent.
• 36:54
  Charles: Good.
• 36:55
  Charles: So this first one is kind of a trend right now on TikTok
• 37:01
  Charles: where women will have their boyfriends say words
• 37:06
  Charles: that are pretty normal words.
• 37:09
  Charles: They're just words.
• 37:10
  Charles: They're just words.
• 37:11
  Charles: They're not.
• 37:12
  Charles: And we'll talk about this after the video.
• 37:14
  Charles: We'll talk about this more.
• 37:16
  Nora: Okay, I want you to do your best to pronounce these words.
• 37:19
  Charles: Okay.

  Charles: Time.
• 37:23

• 38:04
  Mandy: It's true.
• 38:06
  Charles: Falk's poss.

• 39:59
  Charles: Is it more pronunciation manual?
• 40:00
  Charles: Yeah, it is.
• 40:01
  Charles: (laughing)
• 40:04
  Charles: So what do we all think about the literary,
• 40:07
  Charles: or literacy crisis that's happening in America right now?
• 40:10
  Chris: I'm worried for poor himbos like John Bolton.
• 40:15
  Mandy: No, but like you date dumb guys,
• 40:17
  Mandy: you procreate with dumb guys,
• 40:18
  Mandy: you're gonna have dumb babies,
• 40:20
  Mandy: and there you go, literacy crisis keeps going.
• 40:22
  Chris: You just end up with generations of people
• 40:24
  Chris: who can't pronounce fucking words.
• 40:26
  Nora: In my family, we do have a rule
• 40:28
  Nora: that our partners cannot bring down the family IQ.
• 40:33
  Nora: That's a good one.
• 40:34
  Chris: Is there a test that people are taking?
• 40:36
  Nora: Yeah, it's not like a test,
• 40:38
  Nora: but it's like a, you can't be too dumb.
• 40:42
  Nora: (laughing)
• 40:42
  Charles: I get that, I get that.
• 40:43
  Nora: You gotta keep up, like you have to keep up
• 40:46
  Nora: with us intelligence wise.
• 40:48
  Charles: Okay, yeah.
• 40:48
  Nora: That's really what it means.
• 40:50
  Nora: Right. - But that's our joke,
• 40:50
  Nora: 'cause like you can't lower the family IQ,
• 40:52
  Nora: 'cause what it means is, if you procreate
• 40:55
  Nora: with somebody with a dumb IQ,
• 40:56
  Nora: then the baby has a lower IQ.
• 40:57
  Charles: Right, yeah. - Like that's what it means.
• 40:59
  Charles: You can't get dumber than Nora.
• 41:00
  Charles: Exactly. (laughing)
• 41:01
  Nora: Aww! - We practice eugenics here,
• 41:04
  Nora: folks, that's what we do.
• 41:06
  Nora: (laughing)
• 41:07
  Charles: Wow.
• 41:08
  Charles: It was either me making fun of you
• 41:10
  Charles: or me making a eugenics joke.
• 41:12
  Charles: So I'm glad we went in both directions there.
• 41:17
  Charles: Okay, so this next video here is a video
• 41:21
  Charles: that I brought for Nora specifically.
• 41:27
  Video: Who wants to watch fish?
• 41:28
  Video: (dog barking)

  Mandy: And he gets dressed up for the theme.
• 42:19
  Chris: That is kind of adorable.
• 42:21
  Chris: As against as I am of, you know, dressing up pets.
• 42:27
  Mandy: Look, some pets want that.
• 42:29
  Mandy: They really, really do.
• 42:30
  Chris: They don't not.
• 42:31
  Mandy: They do not. - Oh my God, no.
• 42:32
  Mandy: Fiona wants to wear clothes.
• 42:34
  Mandy: I'm just not a person who puts their animals in clothes.
• 42:36
  Mandy: I don't have patience for that.
• 42:37
  Nora: There was a dog that I lived with in college.
• 42:39
  Nora: She was a boxer mix, and we were in Vermont.
• 42:41
  Nora: And so we'd say, "Hey, Piper, you wanna go outside?"
• 42:44
  Nora: And she would sit by the couch and shiver.
• 42:46
  Nora: And then you'd put the sweater on her,
• 42:47
  Nora: and then you'd say, "Hey, Piper, you wanna go outside?"
• 42:49
  Nora: And she'd hop right up and get ready to go outside.
• 42:52
  Mandy: Fiona will bite you if you try to take off her sweater.
• 42:55
  Chris: Fiona can barely walk.
• 42:57
  Mandy: I know, but she-
• 42:58
  Mandy: Let's go say hi.
• 42:59
  Mandy: I mean, when she was younger, when she had more teeth.
• 43:02
  Video: I actually just did some replanting.
• 43:04
  Mandy: Big fish tank.
• 43:06
  Video: The water looks kinda awful right now, forgive me.
• 43:09
  Video: But I swear the water is fine.
• 43:11
  Video: It just needs to sit for a little.
• 43:13
  Nora: She's in New Jersey, I can tell you that right now.
• 43:16
  Chris: Or she's from New Jersey. - Her house is too clean.
• 43:18
  Nora: All right, sit here, relax.
• 43:20
  Nora: Listening to Bob's Burgers.
• 43:22
  Nora: Watching the fish.

  Nora: My dog and I also like to watch fish.

• 51:19
  Nora: well, it's supposed to aid in digestion,
• 51:23
  Nora: was the original idea,
• 51:24
  Nora: and it's 'cause it has sodium bicarbonate in it.
• 51:27
  Nora: So it has baking soda in it and that makes it digestive.
• 51:33
  Nora: That's why.
• 51:34
  Charles: I still don't, I don't get it.

• 1:14:11
  Nora: Yeah.

  Nora: So, the most of these, so, like I chose the ones that like felt like they put the most

  Video: We are going for an English delicacy

  Nora: Shut your whore mouth just hold them everybody knows that American baked beans are better. I mean still gross

  Nora: It'll just be a little announcement of who wins.
• 1:16:32
  Nora: But yeah, I hope you all enjoyed the Water Lily Way Off.
• 1:16:36
  Nora: They are incredibly impressive this year.

  Nora: Just want to bring my book and sit there with some tea

  Nora: and sit on a lily pad.
• 1:16:47
  Mandy: Before we move on to the next one-
• 1:16:49
  Mandy: Oh, goodness.
• 1:16:50
  Charles: Yeah, I was like, what's with the sound effects?
• 1:16:52
  Mandy: Excuse me.
• 1:16:53
  Mandy: What did we think of the actor's baking?
• 1:16:57
  Mandy: Delicious.
• 1:16:57
  Mandy: It's pretty good.
• 1:16:58
  Mandy: Good job.
• 1:16:59
  Mandy: Good job, Chris.
• 1:17:00
  Charles: Thanks, guys.
• 1:17:01
  Charles: Yeah, you did a really good job, dude.
• 1:17:04
  Chris: Considering it's the second thing I've ever baked
• 1:17:07
  Chris: and the first one was an absolute disaster,
• 1:17:10
  Chris: I'm pretty happy.
• 1:17:12
  Charles: And now there's tasty treats.
• 1:17:14
  Charles: That's the thing about baking.
• 1:17:16
  Charles: It's you get a tasty treat after the fact.
• 1:17:20
  Charles: Assuming you are successful.
• 1:17:22
  Mandy: And assuming you want to eat things
• 1:17:24
  Mandy: after you've made them, 'cause that doesn't work for me.
• 1:17:26
  Chris: Yeah, 'cause I mean, that's one thing is like,
• 1:17:28
  Chris: I did not try this at all.
• 1:17:30
  Chris: I just made it and brought it here.
• 1:17:32
  Charles: Yeah, see for me, I make a loaf of bread
• 1:17:35
  Charles: and then I immediately want to eat the entire thing.
• 1:17:37
  Charles: So I don't have that problem.
• 1:17:40
  Nora: I have eaten probably a third of my loaf here.
• 1:17:43
  Nora: So I'm making good progress here.
• 1:17:46
  Charles: That's wild.
• 1:17:47
  Mandy: I love that.
• 1:17:48
  Mandy: I love that.
• 1:17:49
  Mandy: Can you save a piece?
• 1:17:50
  Mandy: I'd like to try it.
• 1:17:51
  Mandy: Yeah, sure.
• 1:17:52
  Charles: (laughing)
• 1:17:52
  Charles: So we went to wrestling.
• 1:17:54
  Charles: We did.
• 1:17:54
  Charles: We did. - Wrestling.
• 1:17:55
  Charles: Okay, so I've got some conversation points.
• 1:18:02
  Charles: So-
• 1:18:02
  Nora: And Chris, I threw some pictures in there
• 1:18:04
  Nora: if you want to use those.
• 1:18:06
  Charles: I can pull them up.
• 1:18:07
  Nora: Either one of you.
• 1:18:08
  Charles: Okay.
• 1:18:08
  Charles: I can pull them up.
• 1:18:09
  Nora: Okay.
• 1:18:11
  Charles: So starting right off the top,
• 1:18:13
  Charles: Chris and I originally went to wrestling,
• 1:18:17
  Charles: what was it, last month?
• 1:18:19
  Charles: A couple months ago, yeah, I think.
• 1:18:20
  Charles: Couple months ago at this point.
• 1:18:22
  Charles: And then this one was announced as,
• 1:18:24
  Charles: what was the title?
• 1:18:26
  Charles: The pin-
• 1:18:27
  Charles: This is the pin of a killer.
• 1:18:28
  Charles: This is the pin of a killer,
• 1:18:30
  Charles: which is Twilight themed.
• 1:18:32
  Chris: Theory at least because as we have come to realize the theme titles don't actually mean anything, right?
• 1:18:39
  Mandy: Right, they did play some of the soundtrack from Twilight
• 1:18:45
  Charles: The opener the first wrestler who came out came out to muse and I was like
• 1:18:50
  Charles: Oh, so this is gonna be themed and then nothing really else. Yeah
• 1:18:55
  Charles: Which was disappointing. I do
• 1:18:58
  Charles: Have a note in here to kind of complain about Mandy
• 1:19:16
  Charles: We all drove together
• 1:19:19
  Charles: All all five of us four of us and Laura
• 1:19:23
  Charles: And we all went together and then from like moments like 15 minutes into an over an hour and a half
• 1:19:31
  Charles: drive
• 1:19:32
  Charles: Mandy's like are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
• 1:19:37
  Nora: It was like in the car. It was literally like in the car levels
• 1:19:41
  Chris: Clear this is not a bit. This is just what Mandy. No, this is just me
• 1:19:46
  Nora: She's a kid in the car. Yeah
• 1:19:48
  Charles: Every single time we passed an exit Mandy's like can we go there instead?
• 1:19:54
  Charles: That's true. - I don't wanna do this anymore.
• 1:19:55
  Chris: We almost went to Boondocks Fun Center.
• 1:19:58
  Mandy: We did not. - And Texas Roadhouse.
• 1:19:59
  Mandy: That could have been the answer.
• 1:20:00
  Mandy: We wouldn't have been stuck in traffic.
• 1:20:01
  Chris: We also almost went to Texas Roadhouse,
• 1:20:04
  Chris: which was down the street.
• 1:20:05
  Mandy: Perfect evening, perfect evening.
• 1:20:07
  Mandy: Boondocks, Texas Roadhouse.
• 1:20:08
  Chris: So, Miby, can you explain your theory here?
• 1:20:11
  Mandy: Okay, first of all, I have ADHD, right?
• 1:20:14
  Mandy: And I do have, I am scared of getting stuck in traffic.
• 1:20:17
  Mandy: Like, legitimately, it's a panic disorder.
• 1:20:19
  Mandy: I usually drug myself and have to distract myself.
• 1:20:22
  Mandy: And then, on top of that, what barbarian
• 1:20:25
  Mandy: doesn't play loud music while you're driving in the car
• 1:20:28
  Mandy: to distract?
• 1:20:29
  Mandy: Oh, this is something that Mandy does.
• 1:20:31
  Nora: She has a car that plays music over the road noise,
• 1:20:35
  Nora: and so she doesn't hear anything
• 1:20:37
  Nora: that's happening in the car ever.
• 1:20:39
  Nora: Except music.
• 1:20:40
  Nora: Which I think is a choice.
• 1:20:44
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:20:45
  Chris: Yeah, some of us don't have a fancy car
• 1:20:48
  Chris: that automatically raises and lowers the volume accordingly
• 1:20:51
  Chris: to block out the road noise.
• 1:20:53
  Chris: Also, I was kind of hoping that I could, I don't know,
• 1:20:56
  Chris: talk to my friends who were in the car.
• 1:20:59
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:20:59
  Chris: For two hours?
• 1:21:01
  Video: Oh my god.
• 1:21:02
  Nora: When I rode with Mandy-
• 1:21:02
  Nora: I realize now that I'm a monster for thinking that.
• 1:21:05
  Nora: Chris, when I rode with Mandy to Wyoming,
• 1:21:07
  Nora: I go, "Hey, can you turn down the music a little?"
• 1:21:08
  Nora: She's like, "I'm not being an asshole.
• 1:21:10
  Nora: "I just like it like this."
• 1:21:12
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:21:14
  Nora: It all covers the road noise.
• 1:21:15
  Nora: But that means I couldn't hear anybody talk.
• 1:21:18
  Mandy: In all fairness, it's a setting,
• 1:21:19
  Mandy: like the car comes without setting, like the car is set that way.
• 1:21:22
  Mandy: I don't believe that.
• 1:21:23
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 1:21:24
  Mandy: I'm like, yeah, I'll turn it down, but I promise it's going to come back up when it decides.
• 1:21:27
  Mandy: Because road noise?
• 1:21:28
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 1:21:28
  Nora: I was taught, as somebody learning to drive, who learned to drive within the last 15 years,
• 1:21:33
  Nora: I was taught to listen to the road.
• 1:21:35
  Nora: Like that's important.
• 1:21:36
  Nora: Like what am I going to do about it?
• 1:21:37
  Nora: Nothing.
• 1:21:38
  Nora: Turn the music down?
• 1:21:40
  Mandy: It'll turn itself back up.
• 1:21:43
  Charles: What drugs do I need to bring next time I'm in a car with you?
• 1:21:47
  Mandy: So I have my own Klonopin that's prescribed for traveling.
• 1:21:52
  Charles: Got it, got it.
• 1:21:53
  Mandy: But so.
• 1:21:54
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 1:21:54
  Mandy: The problem is there's side effects.
• 1:21:57
  Mandy: No, that I no longer care about anything I'm doing.
• 1:22:00
  Mandy: Which is already a stretch.
• 1:22:00
  Mandy: Right.
• 1:22:00
  Mandy: So she doesn't enjoy.
• 1:22:02
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 1:22:03
  Mandy: When we get there.
• 1:22:04
  Mandy: But that's what I was saying.
• 1:22:05
  Mandy: Remember last week or the week before when I mentioned
• 1:22:08
  Mandy: like went on a road trip with Nora
• 1:22:09
  Mandy: and she was just so happy and even keeled the whole time
• 1:22:12
  Mandy: and I mentioned how I'm not like that?
• 1:22:14
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 1:22:15
  Mandy: There you go, there you go.
• 1:22:17
  Nora: Yeah, but I think that is more talks about how...
• 1:22:23
  Nora: I wouldn't say Mandy's high maintenance, but I would say...
• 1:22:26
  Chris: She's so high maintenance.
• 1:22:28
  Chris: She admits how high maintenance she is.
• 1:22:30
  Mandy: That's why my hair is like this.
• 1:22:32
  Mandy: I want people to know how high maintenance I am from the start, just from appearance alone.
• 1:22:36
  Mandy: And I'm not as high maintenance as that.
• 1:22:39
  Charles: We went and got food and somebody complimented Mandy's hair.
• 1:22:42
  Charles: It was like, "Oh, do you do that yourself?"
• 1:22:47
  Mandy: I think the phrase is, I pay a lot of money.
• 1:22:51
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 1:22:55
  Mandy: Y'all, it is 600 plus dollars every time I get my hair done.
• 1:22:59
  Mandy: Well, it looks good.
• 1:23:01
  Mandy: Worth it.
• 1:23:01
  Mandy: It's the time.
• 1:23:02
  Charles: I pay so much money, more than you do, Mandy.
• 1:23:04
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:23:05
  Chris: You think you know high maintenance?
• 1:23:08
  Chris: Meet Mandy.
• 1:23:08
  Mandy: Hi.
• 1:23:09
  Mandy: Hi.
• 1:23:10
  Mandy: I have lots of mental issues that require,
• 1:23:13
  Mandy: my friends call it the mental illness tax,
• 1:23:15
  Charles: And that's what it so yeah driving driving down the Mandy tax - on the nose
• 1:23:21
  Charles: How is Mandy how was the drive back for you? It was a pretty simple drive
• 1:23:28
  Mandy: It wasn't in the heat we weren't stopping go traffic, and we I wasn't feeling trapped
• 1:23:32
  Mandy: So my issue is I don't do well when I feel trapped I tend to have panic attacks
• 1:23:36
  Mandy: Yeah, and the only way to get me from not doing that is to distract me. Yeah, I think you did pretty well
• 1:23:45
  Mandy: Cooking aside, yeah, I know I'm terrible.
• 1:23:48
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:23:50
  Chris: Having just gone through this with her the week prior,
• 1:23:53
  Chris: I think she did pretty well.
• 1:23:55
  Mandy: Like I told you all, my husband has a toy
• 1:23:58
  Mandy: that he breaks out and it's only allowed,
• 1:23:59
  Mandy: like, well that sounds bad.
• 1:24:01
  Mandy: He has a toy he breaks out.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 12: (laughing)
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 12: Damn.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 12: Welcome to Vibe Check After Dark, y'all.
• 1:24:07
  Video: Hell yeah.
• 1:24:09
  Video: Sometimes you just gotta bring out the toys.
• 1:24:12
  Mandy: No, there's a fidget toy for preschoolers,
• 1:24:14
  Mandy: like it's shaped like a teddy bear.
• 1:24:16
  Mandy: And so like that is a toy that if we're stuck in traffic,
• 1:24:18
  Mandy: he's like, here you go, distraction.
• 1:24:20
  Mandy: And I make it through.
• 1:24:22
  Nora: So fidgets, bring fidgets too.
• 1:24:24
  Charles: Okay.
• 1:24:24
  Nora: Yeah.
• 1:24:25
  Nora: I have some good pop, I have a popping spinner.
• 1:24:27
  Nora: Yeah.
• 1:24:28
  Nora: It's a fidget spinner,
• 1:24:29
  Nora: but each of the holes pops in and out.
• 1:24:32
  Mandy: I think Mandy would like that one.
• 1:24:33
  Mandy: This one lights up in patterns
• 1:24:35
  Mandy: and you have to push the popping things down.
• 1:24:36
  Charles: Oh yeah.
• 1:24:37
  Mandy: It lights up.
• 1:24:38
  Charles: Didn't we also learn this week
• 1:24:39
  Charles: that Mandy hates board games?
• 1:24:41
  Charles: Yes.
• 1:24:41
  Nora: I'm not a big fan either.
• 1:24:43
  Nora: It's the ADHD, but I also played board games
• 1:24:46
  Nora: with an asshole in college,
• 1:24:48
  Nora: and so it really kinda ruined it for me.
• 1:24:49
  Charles: So we couldn't bring a game with us for you to play?
• 1:24:53
  Charles: Not really. - Like Mad Libs or something?
• 1:24:55
  Chris: It would have to be, I think, one of those things
• 1:24:58
  Chris: where you spot something that's passing by.
• 1:25:00
  Mandy: 'Cause I get motion sick too,
• 1:25:02
  Mandy: which is what compounds this problem.
• 1:25:04
  Mandy: 'Cause I'm stuck in the car knowing I get car sick,
• 1:25:06
  Mandy: and then it's a whole spiral.
• 1:25:08
  Chris: On top of that, we're all packed into the car,
• 1:25:11
  Chris: three people in the back seat and Charles is like,
• 1:25:14
  Chris: "Oh, my hip hurts."
• 1:25:15
  Video: It starts hurting.
• 1:25:16
  Video: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 1:25:17
  Nora: Oh no, your hip hurts.
• 1:25:18
  Nora: Charles' hip starts going.
• 1:25:21
  Nora: And listen, all I wanna-
• 1:25:23
  Chris: Basically, folks, we're old.
• 1:25:24
  Nora: All I wanna do on a Friday night
• 1:25:26
  Nora: is take a nap with my dog on the couch.
• 1:25:28
  Nora: That's literally all I wanna do on a Friday night.
• 1:25:31
  Nora: So like, it was commitment for me
• 1:25:34
  Nora: to come out for a whole six hours on a Friday night.
• 1:25:37
  Nora: I did have fun.
• 1:25:39
  Nora: I was done by intermission.
• 1:25:41
  Chris: You got to see things like this.
• 1:25:42
  Nora: Mm-hmm.
• 1:25:43
  Nora: That was the worst one.
• 1:25:45
  Video: I loved it, it was so dumb.
• 1:25:48
  Video: That one was so dumb.
• 1:25:49
  Video: Oh my God.
• 1:25:50
  Video: Show us your Dapper Dan.
• 1:25:51
  Nora: So Frightmare would do this, he'd go, ugh,
• 1:25:54
  Nora: and then Anaya would act really, really scared,
• 1:25:58
  Nora: and it was just, ugh, that's all he did, and that's it.
• 1:26:02
  Charles: That's so, that one-
• 1:26:06
  Charles: Very Lucha Libre.
• 1:26:06
  Charles: Was so comical and just so silly,
• 1:26:10
  Charles: I was just like, I don't know.
• 1:26:12
  Nora: I thought Anaya could get it too.
• 1:26:14
  Charles: So OK, let's take a step back, talking about the venue,
• 1:26:18
  Charles: because we had some complaints about the venue.
• 1:26:21
  Nora: Yeah, it was the hottest place that I've ever-
• 1:26:23
  Nora: and the sweatiest, stinkiest place by the end.
• 1:26:26
  Nora: Holy god.
• 1:26:27
  Mandy: We took a little survey during intermission
• 1:26:32
  Mandy: about how many of us are on SSRIs
• 1:26:34
  Mandy: and cannot control our body temperatures.
• 1:26:36
  Mandy: And the answer is pretty much all of us.
• 1:26:38
  Video: All alert, everyone. - All five of us.
• 1:26:40
  Video: Yeah.
• 1:26:41
  Nora: And we're sitting there, and like,
• 1:26:43
  Nora: so we were in this old theater
• 1:26:45
  Nora: that used to be a movie theater
• 1:26:46
  Nora: that was probably built in the '20s,
• 1:26:48
  Nora: and they have the wrestling up on the stage
• 1:26:50
  Nora: kind of in front of us, like up here,
• 1:26:53
  Nora: and so they were very like up there,
• 1:26:56
  Nora: but then you could also, like,
• 1:26:57
  Nora: the sweat would like fly at you,
• 1:26:59
  Nora: and so it was humid, and it was hot,
• 1:27:01
  Nora: and there was no air conditioning,
• 1:27:03
  Nora: and it was stifling by the end.
• 1:27:06
  Nora: Like, it was hot. - It was bad.
• 1:27:07
  Nora: And there were, so there's people exercising, right?
• 1:27:10
  Nora: Wrestling is exercise.
• 1:27:13
  Nora: But they were all sitting there sweating.
• 1:27:14
  Nora: So it was just a cesspool of just sweat.
• 1:27:16
  Nora: It was just so much BO.
• 1:27:17
  Chris: I've seen a few shows there,
• 1:27:20
  Chris: a few wrestling shows at that venue,
• 1:27:22
  Chris: and it is not normally as hot.
• 1:27:24
  Chris: I was surprised how like hot and sweaty and gross it was.
• 1:27:28
  Nora: To be fair, it was 99 degrees that day in Denver.
• 1:27:31
  Nora: So I think that definitely contributed, but like.
• 1:27:35
  Chris: Holy shit.
• 1:27:35
  Chris: It was so fucking hot.
• 1:27:36
  Chris: It was bad, it was bad.
• 1:27:37
  Chris: You are right on the money, Nora.
• 1:27:38
  Chris: The Oriental Theater in Denver was built in 1927,
• 1:27:43
  Chris: and it is on the National Register of Historic Places,
• 1:27:45
  Chris: which means you can't change too much about the building.
• 1:27:48
  Nora: You can't add an air conditioner.
• 1:27:48
  Chris: Things like adding air conditioning.
• 1:27:51
  Chris: That's insane.
• 1:27:54
  Chris: But if we set aside the arduous trek down there,
• 1:27:59
  Chris: the issues with car sickness and attention issues
• 1:28:03
  Chris: and the pain of sitting in the car and the heat.
• 1:28:08
  Chris: What did everyone think?
• 1:28:09
  Nora: I mean, once we got there, we had a pretty good time.
• 1:28:11
  Nora: We ate across the street at what, the Gnarly Gnome?
• 1:28:14
  Charles: The Gnarly Gnome, yep.
• 1:28:16
  Nora: It was adorable.
• 1:28:17
  Nora: Was it the Gnarly Gnome, or was it something else?
• 1:28:18
  Charles: They had like 100 different sandwiches you choose.
• 1:28:21
  Charles: You give them a number, be like, what sandwich do you want?
• 1:28:24
  Charles: I want the five.
• 1:28:25
  Nora: I want number 46, please.
• 1:28:28
  Nora: But they were good.
• 1:28:29
  Nora: They were good sandwiches.
• 1:28:30
  Nora: So we had some disco fries, which
• 1:28:32
  Nora: was their version of poutine.
• 1:28:34
  Nora: And then right in the middle of it, a grateful gnome.
• 1:28:36
  Nora: I knew it wasn't the gnarly.
• 1:28:38
  Nora: I knew it was grateful.
• 1:28:40
  Charles: Apparently, you knew that.
• 1:28:42
  Charles: I knew it wasn't gnarly.
• 1:28:44
  Mandy: So apparently, outside, they have a giant 12-foot gnome
• 1:28:47
  Mandy: statue.
• 1:28:48
  Chris: That Mandy didn't notice until after the event when
• 1:28:53
  Chris: we were walking to the car.
• 1:28:55
  Nora: Oh, there's a gnome over there.
• 1:28:56
  Nora: Oh, there's a big gnome there.
• 1:28:58
  Nora: Yeah, we ate there, Mandy.
• 1:29:00
  Nora: [LAUGHTER]
• 1:29:00
  Charles: We walked next to it.
• 1:29:03
  Charles: We literally ate there.
• 1:29:04
  Charles: Yeah.
• 1:29:06
  Nora: You're welcome.
• 1:29:08
  Nora: And then the football game started
• 1:29:10
  Nora: right when we were in there.
• 1:29:10
  Nora: Oh, it was so loud.
• 1:29:11
  Nora: And it turns out, I think I was the only one who
• 1:29:13
  Nora: knew how to watch football.
• 1:29:15
  Nora: Or wanted to.
• 1:29:16
  Chris: I mean, I know how to watch football.
• 1:29:18
  Chris: I just didn't care.
• 1:29:18
  Nora: I mean, if you know how to watch football, you turn it off.
• 1:29:22
  Nora: And leave the room.
• 1:29:25
  Nora: And then once we got to the show, we got seats.
• 1:29:28
  Nora: It was really good seats.
• 1:29:29
  Nora: There were like six different matches.
• 1:29:31
  Mandy: No, wait, Larry in the comments said
• 1:29:33
  Mandy: that they got sick from the no many times.
• 1:29:37
  Mandy: Oh no.
• 1:29:38
  Mandy: No.
• 1:29:39
  Chris: Wait, wait, wait, he also says, "It is tasty though."
• 1:29:42
  Nora: I'm glad we didn't know that before we went.
• 1:29:45
  Nora: No.
• 1:29:47
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:29:47
  Nora: It was lovely though.
• 1:29:49
  Nora: Mandy, were these our favorites?
• 1:29:51
  Mandy: Yeah, 'cause-
• 1:29:52
  Mandy: Big man.
• 1:29:53
  Mandy: I found out I had a thing for Tom Selleck
• 1:29:56
  Mandy: that I didn't know I had beforehand.
• 1:29:58
  Chris: A dormant Tom Selleck thing.
• 1:30:00
  Mandy: Yeah, and now I know I do.
• 1:30:03
  Mandy: Thank goodness.
• 1:30:04
  Mandy: So learned some things about myself.
• 1:30:05
  Nora: Yeah, both of us were,
• 1:30:07
  Nora: our jaws were kind of on the floor
• 1:30:08
  Nora: when the big men came down.
• 1:30:10
  Nora: Both of us were sitting there like,
• 1:30:11
  Video: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh."
• 1:30:14
  Video: "And the, the."
• 1:30:15
  Mandy: Look, I normally prefer my men like teeny tiny,
• 1:30:18
  Mandy: little thin sticks that I can overtake and overpower.
• 1:30:21
  Chris: This photo is kind of misleading
• 1:30:23
  Chris: because they look of equal height,
• 1:30:25
  Chris: But what you don't see, if the camera
• 1:30:27
  Chris: were to pull out further, these guys are like seven feet tall.
• 1:30:30
  Chris: Both of them.
• 1:30:31
  Chris: They are enormous people.
• 1:30:33
  Chris: Yeah.
• 1:30:33
  Nora: They're huge.
• 1:30:35
  Nora: They are big men.
• 1:30:36
  Nora: And this, the dack, he wrestled in jeans for half of it,
• 1:30:40
  Nora: or 3/4 of it.
• 1:30:41
  Chris: Yeah, he always wrestles in these pull-away jeans.
• 1:30:44
  Mandy: I didn't know they were pull-away.
• 1:30:45
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 1:30:46
  Mandy: So funny.
• 1:30:46
  Mandy: Take it off.
• 1:30:47
  Mandy: Take it off.
• 1:30:48
  Mandy: And I was like, ooh, OK.
• 1:30:49
  Mandy: I support your ask.
• 1:30:51
  Mandy: And I was like, but I was like, are we sexualizing them
• 1:30:53
  Mandy: when we're not supposed to be?
• 1:30:54
  Mandy: No.
• 1:30:55
  Mandy: And then he rips it off and they're like little tidy whities with like glitter on them in sequence. I was like, okay, yeah, we're cool
• 1:31:01
  Nora: That one was a really good one
• 1:31:02
  Charles: I was here's he did he did a fake away where he he had a button-up shirt that he ripped off and there was
• 1:31:10
  Charles: Another button-up shirt underneath it. I was expecting him to do the same thing with the pants where he rips off his pants
• 1:31:17
  Charles: There's another pair of jeans
• 1:31:20
  Charles: And I was very disappointed
• 1:31:21
  Nora: He wasn't wrestling in two pairs of jeans.
• 1:31:23
  Nora: Two pairs of jeans.
• 1:31:26
  Video: Yes.
• 1:31:27
  Video: Mid-pull right there.
• 1:31:27
  Video: I was like, yes, there we go.
• 1:31:30
  Charles: That is a-- wait, hold on.
• 1:31:32
  Charles: This dude-
• 1:31:33
  Charles: Can we show this?
• 1:31:34
  Charles: Because is that his ball?
• 1:31:36
  Charles: [LAUGHTER]
• 1:31:38
  Chris: It's fine, Charles.
• 1:31:39
  Nora: It's whatever.
• 1:31:40
  Chris: Here, there-
• 1:31:40
  Nora: Yeah.
• 1:31:42
  Nora: That's who I picture when I read Dungeon Crawler Carl.
• 1:31:45
  Nora: Who is-- that's who I picture as Carl.
• 1:31:46
  Chris: Yeah, that wrestler, he always does the shtick
• 1:31:49
  Chris: where he pulls the pants off.
• 1:31:50
  Chris: And for a second, I almost spoiled it
• 1:31:53
  Chris: and told you guys ahead of time,
• 1:31:54
  Chris: but I thought, no, you need to experience this
• 1:31:56
  Chris: as it happens.
• 1:31:57
  Mandy: I appreciated that.
• 1:31:59
  Nora: I think that one was probably my favorite.
• 1:32:01
  Nora: Same.
• 1:32:01
  Nora: But I did like the gay one,
• 1:32:03
  Nora: and then I also liked the last one, I think.
• 1:32:05
  Mandy: My thing is, do we, oh, that answers the question.
• 1:32:08
  Mandy: I was gonna say, do we enjoy the ones
• 1:32:09
  Mandy: that just happened earlier in the night?
• 1:32:11
  Mandy: Is that what you're saying?
• 1:32:11
  Nora: I did, I liked Abaddon.
• 1:32:12
  Nora: I liked watching Abaddon wrestle.
• 1:32:15
  Charles: Abaddon is-- - They're amazing.
• 1:32:16
  Charles: Is very talented at what they do.
• 1:32:19
  Charles: And they kind of go like really hardcore with it,
• 1:32:23
  Charles: which is really awesome.
• 1:32:24
  Charles: And then, yeah, holy shit.
• 1:32:26
  Nora: This is Abadon at the beginning.
• 1:32:28
  Nora: Just like, just oozing the hotness.
• 1:32:33
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:32:34
  Chris: Yeah, Abadon is extremely talented.
• 1:32:37
  Chris: She used to wrestle for AEW,
• 1:32:39
  Chris: which is like the kind of smaller company
• 1:32:41
  Chris: compared to WWE, which is the leader in the industry.
• 1:32:44
  Chris: But she has a great character.
• 1:32:46
  Chris: She has a great look.
• 1:32:47
  Chris: She moves really well and she brought it.
• 1:32:51
  Chris: She fought against Priscilla Kelly,
• 1:32:53
  Chris: who also used to wrestle for WWE and is incredibly talented.
• 1:32:58
  Chris: One thing that I thought was a little odd
• 1:33:00
  Chris: was at the start of that match,
• 1:33:03
  Chris: and thankfully we don't have any pictures of it,
• 1:33:05
  Chris: but at the start of that match,
• 1:33:06
  Chris: there was a whole lot of like,
• 1:33:08
  Chris: gyrating in the pelvic area.
• 1:33:10
  Mandy: Oh no, there was, there was-
• 1:33:12
  Nora: What, Priscilla rubbing her hands down there?
• 1:33:16
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:33:17
  Nora: Yeah.
• 1:33:17
  Chris: Yeah, there was-
• 1:33:18
  Chris: Help yourself before you help a friend.
• 1:33:21
  Chris: That was a bit much.
• 1:33:24
  Mandy: Just, I want warnings, right?
• 1:33:26
  Mandy: Like, I need to know what's coming up, right?
• 1:33:28
  Charles: Right.
• 1:33:28
  Mandy: Give me a warning.
• 1:33:29
  Charles: Which we kind of learned
• 1:33:31
  Charles: that they don't really practice beforehand.
• 1:33:34
  Nora: Yeah, because one of them went on for so long.
• 1:33:39
  Nora: Like, so long.
• 1:33:40
  Chris: Like, so long.
• 1:33:41
  Chris: There was one match that went probably-
• 1:33:44
  Nora: And then Mandy went to the bathroom
• 1:33:45
  Nora: and then we stood out there and talked.
• 1:33:47
  Nora: for a while and then we talked to one of the other wrestlers and then we were still watching it and
• 1:33:53
  Nora: then it was done. Like it was really long. Yeah there was one match that went on for for a good
• 1:33:58
  Chris: while and part of that was because one of the wrestlers involved in that match was Canadian
• 1:34:04
  Chris: and he had gotten to the venue maybe 20 minutes not before the show but before their match and
• 1:34:12
  Chris: and their match was about in the middle of the show.
• 1:34:14
  Chris: So they didn't really have any time to prepare.
• 1:34:17
  Chris: They didn't really have time to kind of work out
• 1:34:19
  Chris: what they were going to do.
• 1:34:20
  Chris: They just went out there and did it.
• 1:34:22
  Chris: And it was clearly like something
• 1:34:23
  Chris: that was important to both of them.
• 1:34:25
  Chris: So it did kind of sag in the middle.
• 1:34:28
  Chris: But the beginning and the end of the match were great.
• 1:34:30
  Chris: It was just-- you know, it just kind of went on a little long.
• 1:34:33
  Chris: Yeah.
• 1:34:34
  Nora: We did see somebody's bare ass, too.
• 1:34:37
  Chris: Oh, yeah, Effie.
• 1:34:39
  Chris: Effie, who's-
• 1:34:40
  Chris: He totally mooned us multiple times.
• 1:34:41
  Chris: Big character gimmick is that he's gay.
• 1:34:44
  Chris: Yeah, that's his thing.
• 1:34:47
  Chris: Effie.
• 1:34:48
  Charles: Everybody was so like into it though.
• 1:34:51
  Nora: Uh-huh.
• 1:34:51
  Nora: People love Effie, he's a fan favorite.
• 1:34:53
  Charles: What?
• 1:34:54
  Nora: The mooning?
• 1:34:55
  Nora: Or Effie in general?
• 1:34:55
  Nora: Everybody loved Effie.
• 1:34:56
  Nora: Effie was great.
• 1:34:57
  Nora: Yeah.
• 1:34:58
  Nora: And Big Daddy Moe was pretty good too.
• 1:34:59
  Nora: And I really liked Lilith.
• 1:35:00
  Nora: I liked the bit where she had the iron tits
• 1:35:04
  Nora: where Effie's hands got stuck in her boobs.
• 1:35:06
  Nora: That one was good.
• 1:35:09
  Charles: (laughing)
• 1:35:09
  Charles: when she, so she grabs, has this giant like Thor's hammer
• 1:35:14
  Charles: that she jumped up and onto the stage with
• 1:35:18
  Charles: and landed the hammer on the ground
• 1:35:19
  Charles: and everybody flew out of the ring.
• 1:35:21
  Charles: It was awesome.
• 1:35:23
  Charles: It was really good.
• 1:35:24
  Nora: And whenever I do these, whenever I go to these things,
• 1:35:26
  Nora: I'm like, could I do that?
• 1:35:27
  Nora: And I think for wrestling, I could not.
• 1:35:31
  Mandy: No, I agree.
• 1:35:32
  Mandy: The cleavage of death was kind of my favorite thing.
• 1:35:35
  Mandy: That was awesome.
• 1:35:36
  Mandy: That was kind of amazing.
• 1:35:37
  Mandy: When you have it,
• 1:35:38
  Mandy: stuff that gets stuck there all the time. I did appreciate that move.
• 1:35:51
  Nora: Yeah I thought it was it was really fun. I think I could have I definitely yeah
• 1:35:55
  Nora: there's Effie. I think I could have I wish that my favorite ones were the only
• 1:36:04
  Mandy: It's that short attention span, man.
• 1:36:06
  Mandy: Like you've got me for 15 minutes, better make it good.
• 1:36:09
  Mandy: Yeah, but I really, I enjoyed it.
• 1:36:11
  Chris: Just be glad that this was not like a televised event.
• 1:36:14
  Chris: 'Cause if you go to a show from like one of the bigger
• 1:36:17
  Chris: companies, they will often do one show live
• 1:36:21
  Chris: and one show tape and do them back to back.
• 1:36:23
  Chris: And you are there for four plus hours.
• 1:36:26
  Mandy: No, no, no.
• 1:36:27
  Mandy: No, thank you.
• 1:36:28
  Mandy: You're not holding me hostage.
• 1:36:30
  Nora: I can go to Boondocks and do it.
• 1:36:33
  Nora: Right, Mandy and I will drive separate,
• 1:36:35
  Nora: we'll meet you there, or not.
• 1:36:37
  Chris: I would not have subjected you to this.
• 1:36:40
  Chris: One thing, one of the reasons that I thought
• 1:36:43
  Chris: this would be fun for everyone was because
• 1:36:44
  Chris: I knew it was a relatively short,
• 1:36:47
  Chris: in terms of wrestling experience,
• 1:36:51
  Chris: compared to some of the other stuff you could go to.
• 1:36:52
  Chris: And even by those standards, they ran long.
• 1:36:55
  Chris: The show that Charles and I went to,
• 1:36:57
  Chris: I think it was maybe two hours?
• 1:36:59
  Charles: Yeah, it was significantly shorter than this one.
• 1:37:01
  Charles: Ours was a full three hours.
• 1:37:03
  Mandy: Said that Effie has a nice tribute of Tim Curry today.
• 1:37:07
  Mandy: Oh, I bet.
• 1:37:09
  Chris: I'll have to find that.
• 1:37:11
  Chris: Here's the only footage that I shot.
• 1:37:13
  Chris: This was during the main event.
• 1:37:15
  Chris: So this is Abaddon and Priscilla Kelly
• 1:37:17
  Chris: and they were fighting into the crowd.
• 1:37:20
  Chris: There's always at least one match at one of these shows
• 1:37:22
  Chris: where they go into the crowd
• 1:37:24
  Chris: and you are literally right in the action.
• 1:37:26
  Chris: And I am just off camera going,
• 1:37:29
  Chris: Oh God, I hope they don't come near Mandy
• 1:37:31
  Chris: because I may have to like jump on her like a live grenade.
• 1:37:37
  Mandy: Protect the broken, protect the broken.
• 1:37:41
  Mandy: I had my cane ready to go to like block
• 1:37:43
  Mandy: between me and anyone else.
• 1:37:54
  Nora: It was really fun to-
• 1:37:56
  Nora: She's like, you want me to go again?
• 1:37:58
  Nora: Right, to have the reaction of the crowd
• 1:38:00
  Nora: know that you're supposed to react big.
• 1:38:03
  Nora: Well, and that's the thing too.
• 1:38:03
  Chris: 'Cause it plays in.
• 1:38:04
  Chris: That's the great thing about wrestling,
• 1:38:06
  Chris: is it's a very visceral thing,
• 1:38:08
  Chris: especially when you're at a small show like this,
• 1:38:10
  Chris: where you're literally just a few feet away
• 1:38:12
  Chris: from these people.
• 1:38:13
  Chris: It's an extremely visceral, kind of personal experience.
• 1:38:16
  Nora: Well, and the other thing is, it's a good chance to boo,
• 1:38:18
  Nora: and whenever I get the chance to boo,
• 1:38:20
  Nora: I'm very happy because it lets out the thing in my soul
• 1:38:22
  Nora: that just needs to be let out every oh so often.
• 1:38:24
  Mandy: My problem is I'm always cheering for the wrong person.
• 1:38:27
  Mandy: I'm always cheering for the other person nobody likes.
• 1:38:29
  Mandy: The underdog.
• 1:38:30
  Chris: Like, what are you doing?
• 1:38:31
  Chris: No, see, that's the great thing about wrestling.
• 1:38:33
  Chris: There is no right choice.
• 1:38:35
  Mandy: Oh, there is.
• 1:38:36
  Mandy: There's clearly a right choice.
• 1:38:37
  Chris: No, there isn't.
• 1:38:37
  Chris: You cheer for who you want, you boo who you want.
• 1:38:40
  Chris: Boo.
• 1:38:40
  Mandy: It's clear that there are crowd winners
• 1:38:43
  Mandy: and crowd losers.
• 1:38:44
  Charles: There are, but that's a choice that's up to you.
• 1:38:47
  Charles: It's true.
• 1:38:48
  Charles: Did you like the fuckboys, Logan and Chad,
• 1:38:52
  Charles: or whatever his name is?
• 1:38:53
  Mandy: Okay, maybe not them.
• 1:38:54
  Charles: Cody.
• 1:38:55
  Charles: His name's Cody.
• 1:38:56
  Mandy: I did like the t-shirt bit,
• 1:38:58
  Mandy: but it was hard to feel sorry for them.
• 1:39:00
  Charles: Oh my god, the t-shirt!
• 1:39:02
  Charles: Holy shit, we need to talk about this.
• 1:39:04
  Charles: So Logan rips off his shirt, right,
• 1:39:06
  Charles: and he's like, "Bleh!"
• 1:39:07
  Nora: He's wearing a green penny.
• 1:39:09
  Charles: This is before the match even started.
• 1:39:11
  Charles: He tosses the shit into the audience,
• 1:39:14
  Charles: and then they toss it right back,
• 1:39:15
  Charles: and so there's this whole back and forth
• 1:39:18
  Charles: where he tosses it back into the audience,
• 1:39:20
  Charles: everybody tosses it back in,
• 1:39:21
  Charles: and then the audience started cheering,
• 1:39:23
  Charles: "Fuck your shirt, fuck your shirt!"
• 1:39:26
  Nora: Eight or ten times like this wasn't like this was like like the audience just kept throwing it back
• 1:39:31
  Nora: And then they kept throwing it back at us. It was like no you're not you're losing this
• 1:39:37
  Mandy: I have a picture where the shirt got caught on his shoe. Yeah
• 1:39:42
  Charles: I was so worried that he was gonna get hurt. That's when they started wrestling and I was like
• 1:39:51
  Chris: Yeah, that's the great thing about wrestling is as much as the outcomes are predetermined
• 1:39:57
  Chris: Everything that happens in between is essentially improv, right?
• 1:40:02
  Chris: You know that stuff was not planned. You can't plan those sorts of things
• 1:40:05
  Chris: It's just very much the energy the moment that you're reacting to
• 1:40:09
  Nora: And the more energy that you as a crowd put in the better that the show is gonna be Laura and I were talking about
• 1:40:15
  Charles: This after the fact the best part about like amateur wrestling is how they help each other up
• 1:40:21
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 1:40:22
  Charles: Like, they're like, here, here,
• 1:40:24
  Charles: get your foot in this perfect position real quick.
• 1:40:26
  Mandy: Right.
• 1:40:27
  Mandy: So as a ballet, a former ballet dancer,
• 1:40:30
  Mandy: like I love the fact that they're like ballet lifts.
• 1:40:33
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 1:40:33
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 1:40:34
  Mandy: Like, yeah, I know what this is.
• 1:40:35
  Mandy: Like, they're like jumping up to like.
• 1:40:37
  Nora: Yeah, like I see that lift happen.
• 1:40:39
  Nora: Yeah, I love it.
• 1:40:40
  Nora: And I could see them like,
• 1:40:41
  Nora: because of the way that the stage was angled,
• 1:40:43
  Nora: 'cause we were kind of looking down at them,
• 1:40:45
  Nora: we could, I could kind of see them like
• 1:40:47
  Nora: planning things out and talking to each other.
• 1:40:49
  Nora: So it's kind of cool to see behind the scenes
• 1:40:50
  Nora: of like how it kind of works out
• 1:40:52
  Nora: when they're actually doing it.
• 1:40:54
  Nora: 'Cause I've never, you know, I don't watch wrestling.
• 1:40:57
  Nora: I don't, that's not something that I pay attention to,
• 1:41:00
  Nora: but I did have a lot of fun.
• 1:41:01
  Nora: And like, if you go as somebody
• 1:41:04
  Nora: who has never watched wrestling before,
• 1:41:05
  Nora: if you go and you've never watched wrestling before
• 1:41:07
  Nora: and you go, it's fun.
• 1:41:09
  Nora: You'll have a good time.
• 1:41:11
  Charles: Would you all go again?
• 1:41:13
  Nora: For the first 15 minutes.
• 1:41:14
  Nora: Not to Denver.
• 1:41:15
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:41:15
  Nora: If it was closer.
• 1:41:17
  Nora: If it was closer, yeah.
• 1:41:19
  Chris: What if we drugged you with some of Mandy's Klonopin
• 1:41:23
  Chris: and then just woke you up when we got there?
• 1:41:25
  Nora: Cherry is cherry.
• 1:41:26
  Nora: (laughing)
• 1:41:26
  Chris: Exactly.
• 1:41:28
  Nora: I don't know.
• 1:41:29
  Nora: I didn't get to bed until 12.30 that night
• 1:41:31
  Nora: and I was sad about that.
• 1:41:32
  Chris: Or we get everyone fidget spinners.
• 1:41:34
  Chris: There you go.
• 1:41:35
  Chris: And toys to keep, yeah.
• 1:41:37
  Nora: I think you need to supply me with a lot more weed
• 1:41:39
  Nora: than I had on Friday night.
• 1:41:40
  Nora: Okay.
• 1:41:41
  Nora: That's my thing.
• 1:41:42
  Mandy: You do weed, I'll do Klonopin.
• 1:41:43
  Nora: Yeah.
• 1:41:44
  Mandy: It'll be nice, healthy people coping.
• 1:41:47
  Nora: Two containers of gummies, that'll probably do the trick.
• 1:41:50
  Mandy: Shut up.
• 1:41:51
  Charles: (laughing)
• 1:41:51
  Charles: The kind where it's like,
• 1:41:52
  Charles: hey, come with me to review this restaurant.
• 1:41:56
  Charles: No, not much weed.
• 1:41:58
  Charles: Yeah, that's probably.
• 1:41:59
  Charles: Or it's just in the audience like, oh.
• 1:42:02
  Mandy: I have to bring my handler though,
• 1:42:04
  Mandy: but if I can't help myself, I need my handler.
• 1:42:07
  Mandy: Yeah, you need your handler.
• 1:42:08
  Nora: That was an oversight, the intern should have been invited.
• 1:42:10
  Nora: That was an oversight, so.
• 1:42:12
  Mandy: I mean, so the intern wasn't like,
• 1:42:14
  Mandy: Aw, shucks, I missed wrestling.
• 1:42:17
  Mandy: But like, it was an oversight.
• 1:42:19
  Mandy: He would have gone.
• 1:42:20
  Nora: Bureaucratic oversight.
• 1:42:20
  Chris: But also, how would we have fit him in the car?
• 1:42:23
  Chris: Right.
• 1:42:23
  Chris: We couldn't have taken two cars.
• 1:42:24
  Chris: I had to take my own car, no!
• 1:42:26
  Chris: Oh no, Mandy wouldn't have made it.
• 1:42:29
  Chris: The humanity.
• 1:42:30
  Charles: Mandy would have been like, "Oh no, I crashed."
• 1:42:33
  Charles: (laughing)
• 1:42:34
  Charles: Shaboondocks!
• 1:42:34
  Chris: I'm my boondocks now, everybody.
• 1:42:36
  Chris: She'd be like, "I crashed right into Texas Roadhouse."
• 1:42:39
  Chris: Exactly.
• 1:42:39
  Mandy: Oh no!
• 1:42:40
  Mandy: How did this roll fall in my mouth?
• 1:42:42
  Mandy: Exactly.
• 1:42:43
  Mandy: I don't know, goodness.
• 1:42:47
  Chris: She's like, y'all have fun,
• 1:42:48
  Chris: I'm wrestling this chicken fried steak right here.
• 1:42:51
  Mandy: Yes, like BA in the A team, that's the joke.
• 1:42:54
  Mandy: Look, Larry in the comments,
• 1:42:56
  Mandy: that is why I have the Klonopin,
• 1:42:58
  Mandy: because I have to be drugged to get on a plane.
• 1:43:00
  Mandy: And that's literally, they call it,
• 1:43:02
  Mandy: my psychiatrist calls it my plane going down pill.
• 1:43:05
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:43:06
  Mandy: So I'm literally BA practice.
• 1:43:08
  Chris: That's amazing.
• 1:43:10
  Nora: Yeah, I definitely enjoyed hanging out with you guys.
• 1:43:12
  Mandy: Yeah, and I think what we need to do
• 1:43:14
  Mandy: is we each need to have a time
• 1:43:16
  Mandy: where we introduce people to things
• 1:43:18
  Mandy: that they don't normally do.
• 1:43:19
  Mandy: And I call dibs on next.
• 1:43:21
  Mandy: Okay. - Cool.
• 1:43:22
  Chris: Done.
• 1:43:22
  Chris: Mandy is now planning the next,
• 1:43:25
  Chris: our next team building experience.
• 1:43:27
  Nora: The thing that I thought of was
• 1:43:29
  Nora: I want to bring you all to the state fair,
• 1:43:32
  Nora: but that would be like a weekend.
• 1:43:33
  Mandy: That's fine.
• 1:43:34
  Mandy: Oh, no.
• 1:43:35
  Chris: That's driving to Pueblo, Mandy.
• 1:43:37
  Mandy: Yeah, that's driving to Pueblo.
• 1:43:39
  Mandy: No, really?
• 1:43:39
  Chris: That's driving to Pueblo.
• 1:43:40
  Nora: But the county fair,
• 1:43:41
  Nora: The sticker itself is really fun.
• 1:43:43
  Nora: But it is a drive to Pueblo.
• 1:43:45
  Nora: That's my thought.
• 1:43:47
  Chris: Pueblo might be more like four hours, I don't know.
• 1:43:50
  Mandy: Well, I will take my own car
• 1:43:52
  Mandy: and I may or may not make it there.
• 1:43:56
  Chris: Sorry, she saw TGI Fridays and we lost her.
• 1:43:59
  Nora: But I know it's a big ask.
• 1:44:01
  Nora: I mean, I feel like someone's wrestling, so.
• 1:44:05
  Nora: That's true.
• 1:44:06
  Nora: The other thing is, you guys are gonna have to plan
• 1:44:07
  Nora: something for my 30th birthday,
• 1:44:09
  Nora: I want friends to plan my birthday.
• 1:44:11
  Charles: Yeah, we're getting you a cameo from Anthony Sprung.
• 1:44:21
  Charles: I would love that.
• 1:44:21
  Charles: Because I'm just a regular guy.
• 1:44:23
  Nora: I want to hear what he has. I want to hear his catchphrases for Nora.
• 1:44:27
  Charles: Those are different than Chris.
• 1:44:28
  Charles: He's probably going to be like, "Stop Snora, Nora."
• 1:44:32
  Chris: It's going to be lamer than that. It's going to be like, "Nor-ish-mora."
• 1:44:37
  Nora: Well, there's only one way to find out.
• 1:44:39
  Nora: It's to stay tuned through March of next year.
• 1:44:42
  Nora: So that's our show, folks.
