  Speaker 1: could you tell me what the hell this is?
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: It's one more thing. I'm strong and getty. I am
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: a little hesitant to.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Poke fun at this because it's probably some very nice
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: people and it showed up in my email. I might
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: even know these people. I'm going to read it just
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: as it is, and then you can explain to me
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: what the hell this is. I try elevate your life.

  Speaker 1: The Village Heart an evening of authentic connection coming up
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: May twenty second, from seven.

  Speaker 2: To nine thirty pm. Well that sounds great, does it?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: What is It's it?
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: No, there's more, but like starting right there, just even
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: seeing that that sounds nice, isn't your first question?
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: What is that? What is an evening of authentic connection?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine. It sounds like a secular church service.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: From the poster it is. This is for you if
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: you're longing for meaningful interactions and a sense of community,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: make new friends, go beyond the surface, cultivate true belonging.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Sounds like a really nice pitch for those of us
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: who feel isolated by the modern world. That will turn
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: into a cult recruitment.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Because what I'm wondering is like, I get that, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I get the modern world isolated blah blah blah, But
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: do you.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Have any idea what's going to happen when you get there?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: At this point? From me post, you'll listen to a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: brief address by our leader Jim, who you will find
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: incredibly charismatic. You will end up sexing up your wife
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and your daughters eventually.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, it.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Seems like the poster should give you a better idea of.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: The slightest inkling as to what's gonna happen when you
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: walk in to the door of this place, because I mean,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: at this point on the poster, I would have no idea.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Are there any images on the poster.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: A man hugging a woman?
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: They're both sitting, No, see sitting hug Yeah, awkward, kinky.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Thirty five dollars. It's thirty five dollars to get in.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: That's the reason. Anyway. You know, that's a good price
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: for that value. You don't want overpay for that, right,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: it's a good value.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: You're right, Michael, that's a good value, only thirty five
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: dollars for and it's from seven to nine thirty that's
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: a good length for this sort of thing.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Can anybody come up with two reasons why you would
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: be unnecessarily vague about something? I can come up with one,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: because if you told people what was actually going on,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: they'd run in the other direction. Can anybody come up
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: with a second reason? Probably not.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: So that was the only thing that was in the poster.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: And I actually have seen this poster around town, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: that was my reaction was, I haven't got the slightest
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: idea what this is? Do they expect people to show up,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: pay thirty five dollars and walk in the door with
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: no clue? Like is this a craft seminar or a
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: religious thing or a dating thing?
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds like they're using the element of like intrigue.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: But luckily, here's here. Can I do my official guess
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: or would that not be you? Go ahead? My official
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: guess is some sort of non denominational well not for
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: thirty five dollars, say, like a church service thing, So
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: ry go ahead.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Luckily on the email version, sorry my moving off. On
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the email version, it had the people behind it, like
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you could email them for questions. And then I did
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: a little digging went to their website, so I got
• 3:48

  Speaker 2: what you're doing? Which is what I thought that was
• 7:56

  Speaker 1: you went, I'm.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Guessing something.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: New agey, spiritual but not religious, for profit that you
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: sign up for a dozen classes and buy the equipment.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I feel like somebody's going to walk into the Remotekay,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: are you ready to begin? And I would say begin.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: What they're not going to tell you till the end.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: It reminds me of I thought I was applying for
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: one job between semesters in college, and it was door
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: to door vacuum sales.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't like till the last ten minutes of
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a two day training process. Really that they told us
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: what the job is and I'm like kidding, goodbye, yeah, wow, yeah, okay.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: And my mom and dad had tried to warn me
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: because they could smell it, but they were so clever
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: at concealing what we have positions in factory representation, in
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: product service andlah blah blah. No, it's just a door
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: to doors vacuum sales. It's always a single guy. At
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the time, I should have taken the gig because some
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: of my friends who had door to door jobs had
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: some interesting encounters with Ford housewives, but I chose to pass.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Each participant is free to choose their level of engagement
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: at all times and opt out of any exercise.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that one. That one's odd.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: See, I think it's swinging. It certainly could be a
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: freak off. I don't think it is, but not hilarious. Yeah,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: it really is. It is. It's the perfect example of.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: One of those twenty five dollars if you buy the
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: digging out thirty five at the door. Space is limited
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: right well, because you could only have ten people doing.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: What or fifty or a million?
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I almost want to go. I mean unless they're
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: going to hold me ostage. I can always leave as
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: soon as they figure out what it is.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Well, you can opt out of if anything makes you
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: feel uncomfortable. You'd be worth twenty five bucks until we
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: put the manacles on you anyway. Wah.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I know they snap on a rubber glove and they
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: walk over with a big bottle of something, and you're
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: ready for.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Right. You think it's a scientology. I need you to
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: get up on this pummel horse. What I did think
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: of that once or twice, Michael, something like that, A
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: quasi religious organization some sort.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I think that, Yeah, m maybe it's that. Maybe it
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: is how you get people into some sort of weird
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: cult thing, people that don't have the ability to like
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: read that and say.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: What is this?
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: It doesn't say what it is anywhere and to understand
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: that that's not intriguing, that's disturbing and a warning, right, yeah,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: And they're appealing from the first sentence to people who
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: feel disconnected.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: And lonely, right, which is a lot of folks.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, well beware everybody.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I guess that's it.
